Would my I-Mac be able to handle Adobe Creative Suite?

I was looking to get Adobe Creative Suite 3 (web design-standard) to start learning some website developement. I listed the system requirements below. My concern is the first two. Like I mentioned I have an I-Mac with the Intel based duo core processor. I am assuming that requirement is satisfied based on the statement "or mulicore Intel processor." My second concern is the operating system. I am currently still running Tiger as I have heard some not so good things about people upgrading to Leopard. Would this be an issue? Any advise and/or direction is much appreciated. Thanks.
Macintosh
PowerPC® G4 or G5 or multicore Intel® processor
Mac OS X v10.4.8-10.5 (Leopard)
Java™ Runtime Environment 1.5 required for Adobe Version Cue® CS3 Server
1GB of RAM
4.5GB of available hard-disk space (additional free space required during installation)
1,024x768 monitor resolution with 16-bit video card
DVD-ROM drive
QuickTime 7.1.2 software required for multimedia features
Internet or phone connection required for product activation
Broadband Internet connection required for Adobe Stock Photos* and other services

Very short answer: YES
Longer answer:
1. Make sure you have the maximum RAM supported. 3 or 4 GB depending upon the iMac model.
2. Personal experience says Adobe Creative Suite runs fine on all recent (since mid 2006) iMacs.
3. Upgrade to Leopard. Worth it.
4. Our small business runs CS3 on a 2.16GHz iMac and a 2.8GHz iMac.

Which version?
You could download the installer file from Adobe and install from that instead but it's a big file (6+ GB).

When are we going to be able to use an IPad to run the Adobe Creative Suite?

I work as a designer and would LOVE to be able to take my tablet with me to meetings…when is Apple going to offer an iPad that will run the Adobe Creative Suite? The fact that their competitors are already running photoshop tells me that they must be getting close? When is Apple going to destroy the competition and make this a reality for good?

Attitude? No attitude. Just facts.
As to:
why is there a full version of Photoshop available on NON mac products now if that is the case?
That would be because ADOBE wrote and released a version of it for those devices.
Complain to Adobe and tell them you want iOS versions of the apps. Apple has nothing to do with it.

Can I download Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium on a new Mac if I've had it installed on my old one since December 2011? I have the product key and serial number.

I bought a new Macbook Pro 13 inch in December 2011 and I bought the Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium shortly after and installed it on the computer. The other day my friend spilled his drink on my computer and it is now going to cost me $800 to get it fixed so I am considering getting a new one instead of getting mine fixed I'm not sure if the memory is still ok or not either. It didn't get that wet and Apple told me it is more than likely ok but there is no guarantee that they are going to keep the memory when they fix it. So I was wondering if I get a new one if I can install the Suite on the new one I still have the product key and serial number for the Suite. Or if I decide to get mine fixed and the memory is swept, then can I reinstall it on mine after it is fixed? If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank You

deactivate your installation on your old computer (help>deactivate).

While upgrading Adobe Creative Suite CS4 ME into Adobe Creative Suite CS5.5 Design Premium, I get an error saying This serial number is not of a qualifying product, please try another. I used to be able to get a code from customer service but I can't get to the chat. Please advise!!!!

MoeGhazal I reviewed your account and it looks like you have have upgraded from a CS4 volume license for Design Premium to a retail upgrade of Design Premium 5.5.
I also show that you made two purchases of CS5.5 Design Premium but the second purchase was canceled. Please make sure you are utilizing the serial number which ends in 7886.
If you are using the correct serial number then it is likely the installer will not recognize your volume license CS4 serial number as being valid for an upgrade. If you can contact our support team then you can be walked through an unlocking procedure to allow you to proceed with the installation. You can contact our support team directly at Contact Customer Care. You may want to try installing a web browser you have not previously utilized. It is likely a toolbar or some other software application is affecting your ability to access chat support successfully.
If you are still unable to reach our support team then please verify the information under your account is accurate. If you can please then update this discussion after confirming this then I can request a member of our support team contact you directly.
Again I would recommend reaching out directly if possible as it will be the most efficient method of resolving your current error.

Adobe creative suite 5.5 pc to mac?

can anybody help ..can adobe creative suite 5.5 design premium edition student and teacher edition be transferred from a pc to a mac. we bought this 2 years ago.

You can only swap current versions, meaning CS6. If you are still eligible for S&T pricing, simply buy a suitable CS6 Mac version, otherwise you would have to buy the commercial CS6 upgrade and make the paltform switch along the way....

rezala,
You should be able to get round the issue altogether without the legacy version (and its security implications), by following this:

Would the Adobe Creative Suite 6 Master Collection Student license be a perpetual license?

I am just wondering, if I did buy this license, would this be a perpetual license, or would it expire within a timeframe
Thanks!

From the Creative Cloud FAQ http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html
If I decide to stop my membership, will I still be able to use my Creative Suite software and the other components of Creative Cloud?
When you cancel a month-to-month or annual membership purchased directly from Adobe or let a 3- or 12-month prepaid membership purchased from a retailer expire, you will no longer have access to the CS applications, other desktop software, and services that are components of Creative Cloud. However, if you saved your work to your computer, you will continue to have access to those files. You will also have access to the same benefits as a free Creative Cloud member, which include 2GB of storage space (reduced from 20GB), the ability to sync and store your files, access to a free 30-day trial of the desktop software that has not already been installed and provisioned as part of your paid membership, and access to the free level of services included with Creative Cloud.

Cross-Platform Adobe Creative Suite 4 For Mac From Windows

Hello,
I am having quite a unusual problem. The problem is that I have a copy of Adobe Creative Suite from my company that is meant for Windows, and it will not install on a mac. Does anyone know of a way to install a windows native Adobe Suite on a Mac platform? I have tried using a emulator called wine, but every time I get into the setup when the system is checking compatibility the entire thing is halted. I do not have access to any windows machine, and installing a Virtual Machine is out of the question. I also considered swapping the windows version of the software with the Adobe company, but then I would have to destroy the disk of my company. Any help on installing Adobe creative suite 4 meant for a Windows platform on a mac? Emulation etc?
Thanks

installing a Virtual Machine is out of the question
Why?
Try CrossOver Mac from codeweavers.com
Otherwise, your only option is to use install Windows via Boot Camp.

I bought Adobe creative suite 6 (Student Edition) for Windows? Can I install the programs on Mac as well?

I bought Adobe creative suite 6 ( Student Edition ) for Windows? Can I install the programs on Mac as well?

Licenses are platform specific, so the Windows version will only work on the Mac if the Mac has Windows emulation software installed. The other option would be to trade your Windows version for a Mac version, but then you lose the use of it on the Windows machine.

Buying options for Adobe Creative Suite CS5 Master Collection (Mac) Retail Pack

I would like to purchase Adobe Creative Suite CS5 Master Collection (Mac) Retail Pack but I can’t find cost information in the Products section? It doesn’t appear to be even listed? I would like to find out how much it will set me back? Can anyone help?

At this point you can no longer buy CS5, only CS6.
