How much Ram should I have at minimum for Photoshop etc. If transplant is not feasible, what do you suggest for specs on a used Mac and which OS version(s)? I have heard nearly anything up until El Capitan may work, but I'm not sure which older Mac and which OS version will work best with CS4.ģ.
Is it possible to take the hard drive from my dead G4 and transplant it into another Mac that you may have that fits the bill? I’m not a techie guy but I can probably do simple fixes or part replacement inside a Mac.Ģ. I need lots of memory (for Photoshop, imaging, etc).ġ. They are on CD, so the new computer needs to have CD drive and a Mac to use it on. I need to buy an older version of Mac-desktop or laptop-with OS to use the CS 4 apps on. This older, significantly slower desktop G4 was not the dream machine but I was able to get my Photoshop, InDesign/Illustrator work done on it-eventually. Possibly due to a power cut in my home it doesn't turn on at all. Since then I have been using a second computer, G4, that had my CS4 apps on it already, but today it died. I have a conspiracy hunch that Adobe knocked out my older CS apps after I downloaded Adobe CC onto my MacBook Pro. It just stopped mid-way and still stops during uninstall, etc.: "installation error." So my MacBook is handicapped by having Adobe residual Adobe data, plug-ins, etc., or whatever on it, so I cannot install and use my CS4 on it. It was a complete no go, and Support was not helpful at all.
They had previously been installed on this MacBook but I think installing Adobe CC on it wiped them out, as I remember. I tried unsuccessfully-and with many hours on the phone with Adobe Support-to try to clean my main computer, MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010, Yosemite 10.10.5), of all Adobe CC and other apps using the Adobe Cleaner/Uninstaller so I could install my older CS4 apps (tried both CD and digital download installs). A few months back I dropped my Adobe CC subscription and planned on (somehow) using my legacy CS4 apps instead.
