Hi guys,

A friend of mine has Mac Pro from 2004 with Panther, she asked me if Photoshop CS 3 will work on her Mac? I did a search on the internet, but I could not find any info.

She was having troubles with savings large files (the disk full message) even she has 30 Gb free of disk. I don´t know which thing could give her the troubles to a bad performance

a) 1 Gb Ram (she bought 3 Gb today)
b) Panther instead of Tiger (at least)
c) Photoshop 7

Any clues or ideas?

Thanks for any info!

Cheers,
Sebastian

Are you sure that you mean "Panther" on a Mac "PRO"?

The minimal requirements for CS3 were:

PowerPC G4 or G5, or Intel-based Macintosh

Mac OS X v.10.4.8

(which is Tiger — not Panther — and that should be upgraded to 10.4.11 anyway).

There is no way Panther will run on a Mac Pro.

I have seen she has an alumnium Mac computer which is not an iMac…i am pretty sure it IS a Mac Pro G5. It should be the very first model. I asked by the phone to click in "About this mac" and it says

Mac OS 1.3.9 (or something like it) so I guess is not Tiger, it should be Panther insted

Am i right?

Well glad you figured out exactly what the computer is.

your question was answered in Post #1.

CS3 will not install or run on Panther.

Thanks for the info Buko!

I am Mac OS X Tiger user myself and quite happy with it. I preferred compared to Leopard. Do you know if Tiger is still available? Can my friend upgrade the system online?

Probably not from Apple. But try a reputable vendor like amazon.com or retrosoftware, etc.

Thanks Ramón. I will check my options for getting Tiger in Spain. Amazon is not as easy from here.
