Using Adobe CS2 on New Pro Book, Illustrator crashes consistently

I just got my MacBook Pro (3G RAM, 150G HD, External 120G HD, wireless mighty mouse, OSX 10.4.8) Installed Adobe CS2 Premium Edition.
Illustrator crashes every single time I use the Pathfinder tool (any filter).
Checked with Adobe, they say it is a problem between Illustrator and OSX 10.4.8 and I need to install 10.4.7, which they say will solve the problem.
How do I get a copy of 10.4.7 to fix this issue.
I will not go into how irritated I am that Adobe has not created an update to fix these incompatabilities or the fact that both Adobe and Apple know these problems exist yet do not mention it before you spend 3 grand on hardware or 1 grand on software. If an auto manufacturer did that they would be sued immediately. But since it is not my life, just my business that is in danger, who cares...
I know I said I wouldn't go there, but I am steamed!

Greetings,
We just received 12 MacPros that shipped with 10.4.8,
so taking them back to 10.4.7 is not a realistic fix for this 10.4.8 bug.
We did do all other suggestions we could find short of that, on Adobe support, and in these forums: update to Illustrator CS2 12.0.1, toss all the legal HTML files that had bad fonts, close the Appearance
palet then close Illustrator, toss the Illustrator plist file, repair permissions,
but only got marginal results. In files that have complex paths or raster files embedded, or are large dimensionally,
using the Pathfinder tools still crashes Illustrator.
Anyone have any new suggestions that could help us?? We use Illustrator quite a bit, particularly in signage, and this is almost a show stopper for even bothering to set these Macs up! Anyone gone back to CS on a MacPro?
I have sent a note to Apple Feedback requesting a fix.. 10.4.9??

Why not Chinese Adobe cs2 photoshop, Premiere Pro??

Why do you want to use an obsolete version of the software?
Photoshop CS6 supposedly is available in simplified and traditional Chinese language versions and as I supect you are not likely to get a lot of support for CS2 you may want to consider purchasing a license.

I’ve read that the Cloud License allows for installing multiple language versions by the way.

Numbers documents from iOS need Numbers 3.2 on a Mac to open. And Numbers 3.2 requires Mavericks. If you are using Mavericks you can get Numbers 3.2 from the Mac App Store. It will be free IF you have Numbers 2 (iWork '09) installed. Otherwise you must buy it.
Your other option is to send the Numbers file as an Excel file via e-mail to yourself to open with an earlier version of Numbers.

Unable to Print using Adobe Acrobat Reader - MacBook Pro - Wireless Environment

I have a Macbook Pro with 10.6.4 OS
My printer is the HP Photosmart C5180 All-in-One
It is connected via ethernet cable to my router (Netgear Wireless N Router) via 10.0.0.1 Wireless Setting.
I am able to print everything with any programs, except Adobe Acrobat.
When I send any files to the printer, i get the following error:

I uninstalled the driver, installed it (from the HP website latest driver), I'm able to get the printer to work on everything else, I'm able to print a test page, but... I can't print anything with Adobe Acrobat...........
Any suggestions? I do use Adobe Acrobat Reader a lot

OK, let's try more thoroughly uninstalling the hp software for 10.5 using the 'scrubber' option. First, install the wrong software from the CD (for 10.5) so we can more thoroughly uninstall it. Next:
Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
Click on Continue
Highlight your device on the left pane
Hold the Ctrl, Opt and Cmd keys and click on Uninstall << This is the scrubber option
There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
Click Continue and let it finish
Restart your Mac
Now, run a Software Update.
Finally, download and install the "Full Featured" Driver and Software from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.

HI all how do you improve quality of pdf presentation yet keep MBs using adobe cs2

Hi Adobe experts . How can I improve the presentation quality when
downloaded of a pdf presentation created in adobe cs2 and keep the MB size down/ have it at
3.67mb too slow when downloaded

You would have to lower the compression quality of the JPEG embedding. Aside from that, you might be able to remove unnecessary data from the PDF by using the optimization features in Acrobat.

Can I use Adobe on a new laptop without paying for registration/new product again?

I have a laptop, it has adobe on it, i have a 2nd laptop, I want adobe on it, do i have to buy and register adobe all over again or can i download adobe onto my new laptop as I already have it on the other laptop?

You can re-download your software at any time and install it on your new laptop. You'll need your serial number to activate it.
Which Adobe products exactly? Which version?
Which operating system is your existing laptop running?

Using Adobe CS2 with mc book pro intel duo core 2,16 .17"

As a designer working on high definition heavy graphic files intended for digital printing, i am about to go for mc book pro 2,16 duo core and 2gb ram.
I need to use CS2 (photoshop, illustrator) and know that it is not a native soft version, so not otimized for this processor. Any how, I just cannot wait CS3 (Adobe says 2007 whenever they are ready !), so I need advise of professional users of such applications on this mc book pro intel duo core 2,16 17".
I heard pretty scary rumours about such a professional use.
PLEASE HELP BEFORE I GO FOR PC/WIN !!!

CS runs beautifully, with really no lag at all. Keep in mind that I haven't gotten to upgrading from 1 GB RAM to 2 yet, since my tablet died and I needed to replace that. I just installed CS2 last week, and there is a lag, and we'll soon see if more memory helps. Everything works fine, no crashes, etc., but there is in my opinion a noticeable difference in loading time, and various other tasks within the apps take longer. Again, CS2 works just fine, but the performance of CS is much better.

Have others had trouble with Trojan infected download of Adobe CS2 and Premier Pro?

Last week I contacted Adobe to help me activate Creative Suites program I bought years ago but never used. I couldn't activate it after using my discs to load it on my laptop. The tech I talked to informed me Adobe no longer supported it and I could go to the website and download the programs as CS2. I removed the original software and downloaded from https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2%5Fdownloads. The 3rd CS2 'CD' would not download, hung up. I closed it and finished Audition and Pro. After installation I suspected a virus may have been placed on my computer so ran McAfee, which said my computer was free of any viruses, and ClamWin, which said I have various forms of a Trojan virus throughout the Acrobat Adobe programs. I haven't tried to use them yet, and am leary of doing so. Are others having a problem downloading these programs? Should I uninstall, run ClamWin to ensure I have no more Trojans, and then reinstall?

These are false positives.

How to use Adobe LiveCycle Forms Standard / Pro to leverage features in Adobe Reader

Can someone please tell me how to use the Adobe LiveCycle Forms Standard or Pro module to leverage features in Adobe Reader? Do you also need to have the Reader Extensions Module?
The forms data sheet says that it is possible to leverage features in Adobe Reader but does not go on to detail how.

Depends on your deployment pattern. You can just use Reader Extensions if you're publishing forms on a site, if you need to prefill or perform other processing on the template then LiveCycle Forms is needed. If you want to render to HTML5 for tablet support then Forms Pro is needed.

Are there advantages to using Adobe Bridge with Premiere Pro?

I frequently use pictures with my videos. Normally, I use Windows Explorer with the picture viewer to browse for what I'd like to use. I've experimented with Bridge, finding it to be a memory hog and slow. It got me wondering - Are there advantages vs. Windows Explorer?

Bridge can be used to easily add hierarchical keywords to large amounts of clips (and afaik it's the only tool in the Adobe suit that can do hierarchical keywording with video files). Those keywords can then be used to find clips inside of Premiere. On large projects (1000+ clips) that can be a life saver.
Apart from this and the features you mentioned (the cross software color stuff is useless for video as of CS6), I did not find any use to Bridge for video. Plus as you said, it is a memory hog, slow and in my own experience unstable with / not adapted to video.

I purchased the monthly plan for Creative Cloud but I don't need it, I want to use Adobe Acrobat to store my books. What can I do to get more space on my Adobe Acrobat account?

It doesn't make much sense financially, to pay 34 dollars a month for 1GB of extra storage space. Please someone help me figure out what I need to buy/do. Thank you in advance.

I am experiencing blurriness when using adobe reader and acrobat pro

Both the text and the screen and the entire program appears blurry!
Why is that?

It sounds like you are attempting to use the SCUP catalogs outside of the MS solution. I can almost guarantee you that Adobe didn't test it if it's not referenced in the ETK: 11 SCCM-SCUP — Enterprise Administration Guide
That being said there "should" be logging available in any deployment solution. Since I am not familiar with Solar-Winds particular solution I can't say if it logs errors and how verbose those logs might be. If you have logs then post the output and the forum members "might" be able to assist you.

Mac Pro and Adobe CS2

Since I have been using Adobe CS2 on my Mac Pro, I have been having alot of crashes especially Indesign. Anyone else had problems and know of a way to fix it? I have updated all my software.

Grant,
I've installed Windows XP Pro to run Photoshop CS2, Vue5 Infinite, and a number of other programs which have yet to be rewritten for Intel Macs as well as numerous Windows only apps. While it is true that Photoshop runs at a native speed on Windows, it runs just fine under Rosetta for me. I suspect it depends on the file sizes one works with and what your expectations are. Coming from an older G4, Photoshop with Rosetta is much faster than my old computer. Typically I work on 100 - 300mb images.
The original inquiry was about crashing issues and Version Cue is a real culprit and known issue as is running Photoshop and Illustrator concurrently. As I'll run just one at a time because of that issue and all my Adobe licenses are for specific apps rather than the suites so Version Cue was never an issue, I've not had a Adobe crash yet.

Intel iMac and Adobe CS2

Greetings!
I recently purchased Adobe CS2 as well as Macromedia stuido 8. I was planning to upgrade to a new 20" intel iMac and I am curious about the performance of these products under rosetta. Anyone suggestions or additional info? Thanks
-Sam

I've been using a 20" Intel 2 GHz iMac with 1 GB RAM now for just over a month and use Adobe CS2 on it and I'm incredibly disappointed with the performance of the software under Rosetta. So much so that I regret buying the Intel version and wish I'd bought a good old G5 processor model.
The main issue is speed. I upgraded from a Dual 866 mHz G4 and am encountering slower performance with CS2 on my new iMac than I did on that. Illustrator is especially excruciating to use. Another issue is that I can only run two CS2 apps at the same time never three. If I try, one of them randomly crashes. Reinstalls haven't cured it either.
I've called both Adobe and Apple in order to resolve the problem and neither have a solution. Adobe's view on it is that CS2 and earlier were not written to work on the Intel machine and so they cannot address any support problems with patches or updates. Their only solution is waiting until CS3 is released in Autumn which will be Intel compatible.
Based on this experience my advice would be to wait until CS3 is released before you buy one. Otherwise just grin and bear it if you have to have one now!

How does Adobe CS2 perform in Leopard?

Hi all
I am very interested in migrating from Tiger to Leopard but one of the reasons that is preventing this is the supposed behaviour of Adobe CS2 in the latter. Upgrading to CS3 is not possible due to financial reasons so I am more interested in anyone who is using, or has used, Adobe CS2 applications in Leopard to see what the stability is like.
I have read that CS2 is not rock sold under Leopard but the proof is in the using so please tell me your experiences briefly if you can so I can make a more informed decision about my options.
Many thanks.
MPD

Thanks for your reply - I have CS2 - the basic suite (AI,GoLive, InDesign, Photoshop, Acrobat) and upgraded from Panther to Tiger, so I could use Acrobat 8. I use the suite on an old Quicksilver - processer as below - 733 MHz - usually okay but spinny on charts that are complex - but I don't overwork AI and Photoshop - mostly use InDesign and Acrobat, and an additional InDesign on another computer. I deauthorized the single InDesign on my iBook and put it on the MacBook Pro to try it out - the first couple of times it was okay but sometimes it fails to open - starts to "bounce" then just hangs. This is quite frustrating since the power of the MacBook far outstrips my stalwart Quicksilver- I'd love to access it but I really can't afford CS3. If you have any workarounds, that would be great. For now I'd be happy just to use InDesign on the MacBook, but it would be great to have the entire suite available on it.
