Which versions of Adobe Creative Suite will my MacBook 1,1 support?

I purchased the Production Premium for a new desktop, but need to install at least Photoshop and Illustrator on my laptop.  It is a MacBook 1,1.  After spending a day trying to install (including an hour with an apparently clueless technician on the telephone), I did what he said and downloaded a trial version (of Creative Suite, as I didn't want all the other programs and have little room left in my memory).  It downloaded successfully, but then when I tried to open it, I got the message that my MacBook didn't support this version.  I can't work without these two programs.  I have already uninstalled CS2, which didn't support documents created at work (on CS5.5).  Is there any way to upgrade my system or downgrade my backup (to 5.5, if it will work), or do I actually have to buy a new laptop?

or do I actually have to buy a new laptop?
Yes. The first generation MacBooks do not support any of the required stuff for newer versions of Adobe products. The last one that would work on your system would be CS4, but that is 2 versions out of date and it still wouldn't open e.g. InDesign CS5.5 files. And no, there is no way to "downgrade". Adobe (and authorized resellers) only sell the latest version.

    Only if you're running Windows in Boot Camp or by a virtualiser (Parallels, VMWare, VirtualBox).

  • Different versions of Adobe Creative Suite Compatibility (CS5 and CS5.5)

    Our marketing team has two different versions of Adobe Creative Suite (CS5 and CS5.5).  We can save the CS5.5 down to an IDML document so users with CS5 can open/manipulate the file but it reduces the file size significantly.  What I do not know is if this saving down process reduces the quality of the file??  I am relatively inexperienced with these programs as I am self-taught.  Thanks for your help!

    IDML is good for repairing files.
    But IDML is not good to be used as exchange in a workflow because every export of IDML can change things in an unexpected way. So I would strongly recommend that everyone in the department involved in the workflow uses the very same version, anything else will let you struggle in a later point of time. When I have to exchange files with a client I use always their versions and avoid IDML in exchanging files in any case possible.
    Between CS5.0 and 5.5 are also several changes possible, because some bugs related to the text engine became fixed. E.g. in CS5 if you had an automatic TOC or cross reference in a text frame with 1 or 3 round corners and 3 or 1 normal corners, automatic number got shuffled in that frame, like page 345 became 543. When this was fixed some changes in the text engine have been done.

  • Will adobe creative suite run on macbook air?

    will adobe creative suite run on macbook air?

    Do NOT get any MacBook 2012 models if you use Adobe CS4, 5, 5.5 or 6.  All models are crashing on any dialog box popup's, i.e. they are nearly unusable for work, unless you like saving every 30 seconds.  They do restart Indesign very fast after it crashes...  Apple has made no comment on what seems to be an obvious video card driver issue in OS X 10.7.4 on the new 2012 models. There are a number of other video related issues as well, but the show stopper for us is the Indesign incompatibility.  Google "fixed" the Chrome problems by removing the 3D accelerator calls thereby slowing down Chrome on these models.

  • How to identify version of Adobe creative Suite

    I am working on packaging for Adobe Creative Suite. After installing Adobe Creative Suite Premium\Installer 1\Adobe Creative Suite\Setup.exe, I am not able to identify the version (like CS1 or CS2 or CS3  so on.........)of this product even in ARP entry its showing "Adobe creative Suite" only . I am also not getting how to do silent installation of this product because its not extracting any Install.xml OR deploy.xml,Uninstall.xml OR remove.xml,setup.xml,Application.xml.override files. Also no folder is there like Payloads and deployment.
    So my question is how to identify version and how to do silent installation?

    You don't.  Registration is a one time thing that you do the first time you install an application.  Once registered it does not need to be done again.
    You should see if yoiu can have the activations reset before you try installing on a new machine so that you still have the two activations that are available to you.  If not, you should still have an activation available for use with the new installation.
    To reset activations contact Adobe Support and ask them to reset your activations....  For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...
    Serial number and activation chat support (non-CC)

    To get it working on the new machine you just install and activate using the serial number you should already have.

  • Identifying which version of a Creative Suite

    I am considering purchasing an Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium for Windows via eBay.  I want the Full version, not Student or Academic since I don't qualify, although I understand the Education version can be used and registered by a non-student.  Everyone seems to use a standard box picture on their advertisements. I would like to know if the actual boxes state if they are Student, Academic, Education or Full on them, and since the prices asked are considerably lower than the full retail cost, if there is any risk in getting duped by buying on eBay with possible pirated versions?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Buying on eBay is a crapshoot and most software there is either stolen, pirated or student versions sold as full commercial. I would strongly recommend against it.

  • How do I add Adobe Creative Suite to my MacBook Pro...?

    @Forgive me for asking what may be a really silly question.... but here goes..!
    I currently have the Adobe Creative Suite on my Mac desktop and now I'm wanting to add it to my new MacBook Pro.  How do I install all the apps without having to purchase them again?  I'm logged in and searching but guess I'm missing the info I need to do this.
    Thanks!

    Just install it like you normally would - like you did with your desktop.  You are allowed to have it installed and activated on two machines.  If you need to download it you might find a link for that thru your Adobe account online.
    Other download links might be available thru...

  • Why is there a Linux version of Adobe Creative Suite?

    If you can be based on Ubuntu or RedHat. I'm using Adobe CS since from the beginning of the CS and I think before, I still do not understand Why there is no CS in linux?. I do not know who to address the question but would like to have an answer because there are so many designers, artists, architects and others. They would be willing to buy Adobe CS on Linux. And not to mention that many also do not want to buy Apple and much less Windows.
    Thanks

    I wish there was an answer from Adobe on this post. I realize this might not be completely a simple thing, but I think I am probably one of many that would happily move to a linux platform if Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom were available for it. Don't get me wrong I've run stable machines on both Windows Vista and Windows 7, and have not had virus problems. I'd go to Linux for the fact that it will use the hardware I have much better than Windows does. That makes a big difference when running large batches of images in Lightroom or dealing with large files in Photoshop. I don't want to move to a Mac because I'm not interested in the prices or the closed (captive audience) platform.
    There are a lot of people out there who think the freebie alternatives will draw Photoshop users away, but the fact of the matter is that most Photoshop users are willing to pay good money for an application they can depend on. And let's face it, we all want to keep our plugins too, so Nik Software and the whole lot of them would have to follow suit. Either way, for many of us Windows users out there, moving to a stable Linux platform would be the better choice..ONLY if we could bring our most critical apps with us!
