I am currently running a Macbook Pro 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and a G5 Dual 2.7 GHz PPC, both with OSX 10.4.11 and Lightroom 2 as well as Creative Suite Design Premium.

I have OSX 10.5.4 to upgrade, and I will be receiving the upgrade from CS3 to CS4.

Because I am not sure if there are any code issues with registration or the like during installation I’d like an opinion from someone with Adobe:

Do I upgrade the CS4 Design Premium first or do I upgrade from OSX 10.4.11 to OSX 10.5.4 first.

I figured I would ask first because I don’t want to be on the phone with Adobe Tech for hours like my last installation with CS3.

Thanks,

Mark

You won’t get that here. We’re all just users like you.

If your machine can run Tiger, you’d be a fool to upgrade to Leopard at this point.

I agree and would stay with Tiger.

What incompatibilities are we seeing with 10.5 and CS4 that makes an upgrade to 10.5 foolish?

Do a search. There has been lots of talk about problems with Leopard. For me Tiger is rock solid not to mention the fact I am running some software that would have to be upgraded to move to Leopard. I am running a first generation Mac Pro and glad for that because the later MP’s run only Leopard.

As someone who has been using the software I agree.

Leopard is an abysmal failure for apple. Yes I use leopard on one of my computers but not on my production box.

Jim Oblak,

It’s not just because of Adobe software. If you’re truly intererested, read the Apple boards.

Do a search.

That turns up issues with CS2 and CS3; not CS4.

Ramon, I haven’t visited the Apple boards for some time because I have not had issues to resolve. Am I the only one having a pleasant experience with my Macs?

I am running Leopard 10.5.5 and it is working fine here as we all know rhere are always going to be people who have problems for various reasons and none of them are of course because of their errors.

My Mac is running solid and I would say that I do things with it that should bring down any computer but it id running just fine and Photoshop CS 4 is running just fine, pretty solid.

And I am running a first generation Mac Pro and I think that Adobe seems to have released a pretty stable group of applications.

But as I say there will always be people who experience problems.

There’s nothing for you to bite. If you can’t explain why a system that you do not use is not suited for a version of Photoshop that you do not use, then the fool is quite apparent.

Wade,

Are all three Grain Surgery plug-ins running OK on your system under Leopard and CS4?

Ramon doesn’t use 10.5 (in fact Ramon is a Windows user) and doesn’t use CS4 – – so his advice, along with his petty insults, are entirely worthless.

FUD helps no one.

Quit saying you are away from home. You cannot fool us to think you are not on house arrest.

It is shameful how Ramon injects personal attacks to a subject he has no personal experience with.

I wager he’ll move to 10.5 and CS4 soon enough.

Post 16 shows the miserable being Oblak is. That is nothing but slander. I have never been in trouble with law and am not a sex offender or a pedophile. I am not even in my home town, let alone under any form of house arrest.

Jim Oblak from Ohio is a despicable subhuman being.

It seems that mark wants to know what is the best way to spend his money OSX or CS4.

he has been given the best advice that I see. spend your money on CS4. It works just fine in Tiger, yes it works in Leopard but if you have limited funds the choice is clear. Forget Leopard and get CS4. Why anyone would want to argue over this I can’t imagine. Oh thats right Jim likes to argue about anything.

Give it up Jim, nobody has any respect for you yet. You need to be on good behavior for at least a year or two before any of the regulars will ever take you seriously, and I have not seen it yet you are constantly trying to push peoples buttons.

You are just an annoying troll. I wish you would go away for good, the minimal amount of good you do is outweighed by all of your negative attitude and demeanor is not welcome here.

and you wonder why why you are not liked or accepted.

Perhaps you should not have. The problem is some of the responders in this thread do not know anything about how CS4 works with 10.5 to make any qualified comment. Instead of having a decent discussion, some turn to insults because they cannot explain the use of 10.5 and CS4.

Mark stick with Tiger, Leopards Bells and whistles are not worth the trouble.

trust me I have both and would not put Leopard anywhere near my production machine.

Anyone with a machine that can run Tiger, whether PPC or MacxIntel, would not be well served upgrading to Leopard.

Ramon, the OP seems like he wants to upgrade to 10.5, he is just not sure in what order. Stop looking at nude pictures of children and pay some attention if you are going to invest your time in this now pointless thread..

Oblak took the Zaldudin name and registered one of his many accounts in the Adobe forum under that user name. He has changed that particular account from AngieB1175, to Zaldidun to Jim Jordan and back.

All posts made in these forums under the username Zaldidun are indded by this emotional cripple, Oblak.

Jim Oblak is best ignored as AngieB1175, Ken Vogel, deafeningechochamber, Cleveland Steamer, Zaldidun, Jim Jordan and Jim Oblak, as his posts are unproductive provocations that contribute nothing towards helping others.

A Google search shows ‘Zaldidun’ from California all over the net, selling on ebay, in kid porn forums, etc.

Buko,

Oblak counts on getting his threads not just shut down but deleted. Unfortunately, his slander and insults are publicly recorded elsewhere on the web. I have contemplated civil action in Federal Court, just so he has to come to California for his appearance or retain an attorney to do make the appearance for him, and I keep the option of going the criminal complaint route now.

The leper sow that gave birth to Jim Oblak in a swamp would be an angel next to you.

Oblak is totally and maliciously making the child pornography stuff up.

I have NEVER sold anything on eBay.

But it was that Google search he mentions that gave him the opportunity to use one more alias.

He’s just subhuman.
