Will Photoshop CS5 run on my MacBook Pro

Hi,
I've a MacBook Pro 2.16 running OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard.
But it has a Core Duo processor, not a Core2Duo.
Will it run om my Core Duo ?
Thanks...

Intel Core Duo - 32 bit , only 32 bit version of Photoshop will be available
Intel Core 2 Duo - 64 bit - Both 32 bit and 64 bit options to run Photoshop are available

Java will no longer run on my MacBook pro since I updated my java

Java will no longer run on my MacBook pro since I updated my java - what the heck is with that? When I try to do as suggested and go under Java preferences it wont allow me make any changes this is the error message I get "Cannot launch "java preference" no compatible version of Java 1.5 + is available."
Then it gives the option to open java preferences or quit. It will only allow me to quit as it won't open java preferences. Stupid updates!

Photoshop CS5 very slow performance, MacBook Pro i7

Hi, I've noticed some posts on slow screen redraw, but my issue seems to be with specific performance with web based files having many layers and layer groups.
A sample file is a 27mb psd. It has lot of layers (525), mostly type layers (limited to 3-4 typefaces in the file) and layer groups. If I select a particularly large layer group and try to move it on the canvas, I get the Adobe throbber cursor icon for at least 20 seconds. Even small layer groups bring up the throbber cursor for a few seconds. Overall, things seem much slower than CS4. Not good! And I'm just speaking of basic operations, not hitting intensive tools or major filters yet.
I've looked at the site below, but not much information except the option to purchase some scripts to 'warm-up' Photoshop. After what I spent on Design Premium, I don't think I should have to purchase third party scripts to warm it up. (I did experiment with the tiles option under performance pref's, but upping that made opening files take 2 minutes, where before opening was achieved in 10-15 seconds.

I have a brand new MacBook Pro i7, 8GB, 7200 internal drive. I installed everything from a fresh install of Snow Leopard. CS4 has never been installed on this Mac.
Any thoughts?

if you have 4GB RAM, the system would need about 1-2GB,
so if you quit all other apps and only run PS, it has 2-3GB RAM left.
you can set RAM-usage in percentage, in the settings menu of photoshop,
i set it to 70%, the rest is for osx.
so lets say PS uses 2GB RAM in your case, the more hires images you open at once and the more layers they have,
and the bigger they are, the 2GB RAM are gone and PS will use the scratch disc for the mentioned images you opened at once, which is also configured in the settings menu. usage of a scratch disc (PS writes data to the scratch disc permanently) will slow down overall performance, it may lagg and everything is slower than before (in my experience). best for scratch disc usage is a separate, fast, internal disc, as huge as possible (50-250GB discsize and empty, no files on it, so that PS can write continously, in order to avoid disc-fragmentation, which would slow down the writing process additionally)
thats the reason i would add 8GB RAM.
RAM is very important for photoshop CS5.
(also processor clock speed and number of cores - in the moment 2 cores are enough
as CS5 isnt optimized yet for more than 4 or 6 cores. more to come soon, i hope...
in my case, i added 24GB RAM, cause i want to avoid usage of a scratch disc at all. this is a huge gain of performance for myself.
i never liked my old scratch disc, as working was terrible slow with it. i also had only 4GB RAM in my last mac, and working was no fun
i work on large format files, 50-100cm at 300dpi and lots of layers, each layer has to be seen like an image itself, so each layer rises RAM consumption.
its a pitty that i never saw adobe delivering some kind of performance guide for photoshop, how to improve performance for professional users, like posting that guide on their main photoshop site, i had to digg for these informations for a long period of time and found it in the end at diglloyd´s comprehensive site. i wonder why adobe makes a secret about photoshop performance, a lot of my friends at work mentioned formerly, that they have had huge lag issues and dont know where to begin solving these problems, which are solvable for sure.... (new hardware, proper settings and so on)
you can read detailed instructions, on how to speed up things in PS here: (where i took it for myself)

Photoshop CS5.1 Pixelated on Macbook Pro Retina Display

Hello!
I am a photography student who just bought a new macbook pro retina display. I use Photoshop a lot for my course so need help with this as quick as possible.
Everything on Photoshop seems to be pixelated which is not ideal right now. I also have an iMac which runs the same version of Photoshop and that is absolutely fine, never had a problem. My friend suggested downloading a trial version of the CC as this automatically sorted hers out but did not mine. Any suggestions at all will be SO helpful as I've researched into this problem and are yet to find an answer!

Very simple. The hiDPI Macintoshes and MacOS support for same were released after CS6 was released. Some of the CS6 applications got upgrades to support these hiDPI displays; others including InDesign did not get such upgrades until the CC 2013 version.
Sorry, but there is not anything you can do about this with CS5-vintage software.

Photoshop CS5.1 on 15" Macbook Pro (File opening/Application Frame problem)

I have seemed to narrow the problem to my preferences file but cannot figure out why.
I installed a clean, fresh version on my Mac. (No previous versions were ever installed).
When I open Photoshop for the first time, everything runs fine: I can open files and edit as usual.
As soon as I close it and re-open many things happen:
a) I can go to open a file, but with Window>Application Frame unchecked, I cannot see the open file.
b) All other palletes go awry. I cannot change the open palletes and or edit anything.
c) If I check Window>Application Frame, everything is back to normal. No problems here.
So, what is going on? Anyone else having this problem?

I get this same issue with PS CS5.1 a recently purchased 15" Macbook Pro
In PS5.1 use File/Open to open an image file but image doesn't appear (histogram and other properies dialogs show the right info, though),
switching to Application Frame mode makes the photo appear,
trying to switch back out of App Frame mode locks PS5 up (ie nothing displays & have to Quit and restart via the Dock icon).
For me this issue only happens when my secondary display in NOT connected. If the 2nd display is hooked up everything shows up normally. Doesn't seem to matter about the power profile (ie running on battery or not) and not affected by various background apps, devices hooked up (eg backup drive, USB mouse. All Mac & CS5.5 software updates have been applied to date.

Will Photoshop CS5 run on a n AMD-based laptop?

I have an Intel based desktop PC and want to buy an AMD based laptop.
Will the CS5 photoshop program I have run on both types of processors?
This may be a stupid question to some, but I would like to be sure before I buy.
Thanks, Fred

It's not a stupid question, but lucky for you those times like back in the 1990s where AMD processors were not fully compatible are long past. As long as you have your system running and installed all AMD specific stuff like motherboard drivers and Windows updates, I would not expect issues. I'd be more concerned about compatibility if the new laptop runs Win 8 instead of Win 7... There may be minor issues to overcome.

How will Adobe Premiere run on Apple MacBook Pro MC373LL/A ?

The specs are listed at: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/specs/macbook-pro-core-i7-2.66-aluminum- 15-mid-2010-unibody-specs.html
Can anyone confirm that Adobe Premiere will run on this computer, and if there are any performance problems?

It depends on what you are doing with it. With only a dual core processor, if it only has the default 4 GB of RAM, a lousy 5400rpm drive, and an older nVidia GPU with only 512 MB of video RAM (no GPU Hardware MPE acceleration) i doubt if you would be happy with the performance. Maybe Premiere Elements might work.

Can't uninstall Photoshop CS5 on my new MacBook Pro

Will Photoshop CS5 run in 32-bit mode in OS x 10.8

I have a Photoshop plugin that only runs in 32-bit mode. So when I upgraded to CS6 I've kept CS5 and launch it in 32-bit mode when I want to use the plugin. Will I be able to do this when OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion is released?

markerline is correct.
At a minimum, you'll want to at least ask in the Photoshop forum. This forum is for Adobe Contribute which is unrelated to your post. Good luck.

Photoshop elements 10 will not migrate to my new macbook pro/retina display. There is no CD/DVD player on this machine. Any suggestions on how to get Elements onto my machine? Yes, I have the disk(s).

I have ordered a USB3 BluRay/DVD/CD player/burner and will use that both with my iMac ( in which the Superdrive seems to be failing ) and the MBPro Retina I just bought .

Will aperture 4 work in my macbook pro running 10.6.8?

Will Aperture 4 work in my Macbook Pro? I've got 10.6.8? thanks

There is no Aperture 4 at this time.
Aperture 3.5.1 requires OS X 10.9 or higher, so one would figure that any future versions of Aperture (3.5.2 or higher) would require 10.9.x at minimum, as well.

InDesign CS5 crashing on 2012 MacBook Pro

I have a 2012 MacBook Pro and am running CS5. My InDesign keeps crashing every time I try to open it. After googling the issue, it appears that happened to a lot of people running CS5 on a 2012 MacBook Pro. Does anyone know how to easily resolve this issue? Illustrator and Photoshop work fine.

No, you'll have to contact Adobe if you want to upgrade to CS5.5. sig just gave you the link to teh Roaring Apps website that lists comapatible software for use with Lion and Mountain Lion. If I were you, I would just go ahead and update to CS6 - or begin using Adobe's Creative Cloud. Since I had purchased a qualifying product (CS6 Design and Web Premium) I was eligible to subscribe to Creatiev Cloud for only $30 per month. Even at $50 per month, it's a great deal - all of the Adobe software you'd ever need for about 1/3 or less of your cable bill.
Good luck - check out the free one month trial of Creatiev Cloud - http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud.html.

Both are referencing cooltype.dll. I ran Font Doctor on all system and non-system fonts and found no errors. Booted without Extensis Suitcase loading. Nothing works. All 32 bit programs work fine. Any clues would be appreciated.

It does not necessarily mean a "corrupt" font, but can be a font that PrPro, and PS, cannot handle.
Though I have read that changes have been made, Open Office's DejaVu font would crash PrPro's Titler - every time. There are quite a few others. Font Dr, and similar utilities, will not see the font(s) as corrupt, but they are so poorly designed, that PrPro and PS cannot deal with them.
Though it can be a long, drawn out process, one can often zero in on the problem font(s), with a little work. This is accomplished by first defining the "System Fonts," and not touching them. Then, uninstall half of the remaining fonts, and testing PrPro and PS. If they launch fine, you know that somewhere in that list of fonts, the problem exists. If there is still a failure to launch, chances are good that the problem font(s) reside in that half, that are still installed. Note: because the problem still exists, does not guarantee that there are NOT problem fonts in that uninstalled group, so keep that in mind.
Repeat the proces, by uninstalling half of the remaining fonts and testing.
If necessary, repeat by removing half of the now remaining fonts and testing.
When you get to a point, where you are no longer getting problems, reinstall fonts, in small groups, testing in between. The smaller the groups, the easier it will be to pinpoint the problem font(s).
Keep notes on which fonts you are uninstalling and reinstalling, until you narrow it down to the problem font(s).
I would start by uninstalling any "free fonts," and then commercial, 3rd party fonts. A lot of free fonts are just poorly designed, and can cause issues, though they might work fine in some other programs.
I use a font manager, so that I only have ~ 350 fonts installed at one time, and then dynamically install fonts, as needed for Projects. That keeps my machine clean, and if, upon installation, I get a crash/hang, I know that at least one font in that Set is causing it. This helps, as my workstation has ~ 19,000 fonts on it, and some are free fonts, and many are from 3rd parties. Some are also very, very old.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - one common cause for hangs on loading PrPro can be from VST's, used in Audio-editing. If you also have a lot of VST's, you could have two issues with two separate programs, i..e. PS hanging on fonts, and PrPro hanging on VST's. The results would be the same, but the causes could be different. That leads to even more work. For PrPro, also see this ARTICLE. If you get PS launching, but PrPro is still not functioning, drop by the PrPro Forum, and someone can help you there.

Will photoshop CS5 work with Lion

I need to get a new photoshop, mine is out of date. Will Photoshop CS5 work with OS 10.7.2? Adobe doesn't include 10.7.2 in their tech specs.

I have it and it runs fine on Lion.
