What adobe software is compatible with iMac G5 (iSight)

I was recently given an iMac G5 20' (iSight) running OS X 10.5.1 From what I understand this machine can not be upgraded to any other OS. But I'm wondering what software is compatable with this machine, specifically Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements or CreativeSuite. I've looked for hours online, but can't seem to find an answer.
Thank you!

You should certainly update your OS to 10.5.8, the final version of Leopard which is indeed as far as a PPC Mac can go.
I have the same iMac, and run Creative Suite 2 (Photoshop 9.0.2, ImageReady 9.0, Bridge 1.0.4.6, GoLive 8.0.1, Illustrator 12.0.1, InDesign 4.0.5.688, as updated along the way).
I am not sure about later versions of Creative Suite, but they may be for Intel Macs only. Adobe's website should tell you.
You didn't ask, but I also run Microsoft Office 2004, FileMaker Pro 6, and a load of other stuff probably not relevant to your needs - but ask anyway!

    What OCR (optical Character recognition) software is compatible with iMac?
    I am using OS X 10.9.1 on my iMac with an Epson CX8600 printer/scanner.

    My new Brother multifunction came with Presto PageManager. I can't recommend that it in the least. Its OCR is terribly inaccurate to the point of being unusable in my tests. Even normal sentences came out mashed together.
    I wanted to try IRIS, but it has no test version, just videos, that I could find, and emails to them just led to a Windows demo that is irrelevant. They ignored my email asking about a Mac demo, so I could not even try it out. That pretty much knocks it out of the running for me as this software is too expensive to just buy based on their promotional videos alone.
    Then there's Vuescan, and it's not too bad for OCR and supports about every device you could possibly conceive of using, and that's a plus. It was fairly accurate, but not as accurate as Finereader Pro. The interface is a bit complex to my taste.
    I've been testing out ABBYY Finereader Pro, and they do have a demo, and so far it seems to be the most accurate of what I've been able to test. It gets pretty close to everything on English and Spanish, and supports most common languages (check the list on their website). It even properly recognized syllables of phonetic Tibetan (using Roman alphabet, but it will not detect Tibetan). The UI is pretty good, but not perfect and there's no way to train for odd words you might need. I haven't tried it for Chinese or Japanese, but for my purposes, unless I find something more economical, I'll buy this one for its accuracy.
    I really suggest you download demos and try them for yourself as none of these are particularly cheap

  • What virus software is compatible with OS 10.4.10?

    I use Microsoft Encourage for my mail and a combination of Opera and Firefox as my browsers (Opera mostly because of its security).
    I didn't renew my virus software because the Mac ads said that I didn't need to, but closer reading led me to find out that your protection is only for my .Mac mail and Safari use.
    So, what virus checkers are compatible with OS 10.4.10 and do you recommend?
    Thanks. (Or do I need them? Maybe I don't I'm really not sure--that's why I'm writing, I guess. Am I protected without any other software if I use programs other than .Mac and Safari Thanks again?)

    ClamXav works good and is Free. I only use it when I am downloading software for my windows side or my wife's PC. The only time you really must have protection is when you run windows. There hasn't been any problems yet with a virus on Macs but since it is becoming more popular who's to say there won't be a problem down the road.

  • Sony DVD-R 1x - 8x compatible with iMAC G5 isight?

    I just purchased a box of Sony DVD-R and after reading the warning on the box I'm worried that it could somehow damage my MAC.
    It reads: "Always check if your drive is compatible as using this disc on some drives/recorders might damage the disc or device."
    How can I check if the Sony DVD-R 1x-8x is compatible with my iMAC?
    Thanks for your help.

    Lots of people report successfully using Sony disks. I myself prefer TDK or Fuji, but Sony will work just fine.
    I assume that they are the full-sized disks and not the mini-DVDs that are used in a lot of camcorders. If so, I can't imagine how that disk would damage any drive.

    Hi Cereskit
    Thanks again for the message. I've done the updates and have the App Store on my desktop. I went into it and searched for imovie but couldn't find the basic imovie, which I presume is what I'd need for editing?, rather than imovie 11 for £10.49, which is for making trailers, it seems. Also, were you saying that imovie would be free?

  • What video cameras are compatible with mac without having to download software

    What video cameras are compatible with mac computers without having to download software?

    Did you try connecting your camera to the computer USB port via the supplied USB interface cable instead of plugging in the SD card directly?
    No driver is needed to connect your computer to your camera.

    Regardless of whether or not you 'like' downloading and installing software on your computer, Canon DOES HAVE software available for your specific camera and it IS compatible with recent versions of the Mac OS X operating system. Maybe try that instead of whining here about it not being compatible.

  • What cellular products are compatible with Adobe flash-player?

    What Cellular products are compatible with Adobe Flash -player?

    To be precise, some OLD Android handsets will still have Flash Player installed, but it's not officially available to new ones (nor is it updated). There are some unofficial hacks in the Google Play store that allow you to install it on newer handsets but they're nothing to do with Adobe, and I wouldn't trust them all that much.
    Kathymsg is asking in the Adobe Reader forum - so if she's asking about running Flash content within a PDF file, the answer is simple: there is no support on any mobile device and probably never will be.

  • What external dvd drive is compatible with IMAC with optical drive

    what external drive is compatiblee with IMAC with optical driv

    As far as my experience goes I have had all external dvd drives work throu USB, the USB stands for Universal Seriel Bus and that means the drives are already in the device, so you can probably just go to best buy or to new egg and order a cheap one.
    If you have usb 3.0 I would go with that since its one of the faster ones and you will save money on using a thunder bolt device, and trust me a $17 dvd player works just as good as a $120 dvd player.

  • Is adobe flash player compatible with ios7?

    I have heard that adobe is not compatible with ios7 and therefore one cannot open ecards on an ipad or iphone. Is this true and if so how does one get around this problem?

    Thanx for your advice. I recently sent ecards from my imac via care2.com/ecards to family members in USA and Australia who all have ios enabled devices and were therefore unable to open the ecards. I don't own an ipad or iphone and was unaware that ios is not adobe flash compatible.
    What I found surprising though is that one relative could not open the ecard on a mac book air but I don't know what browser he uses. I just assumed that all browsers are flash compatible. Thanx again.
