Adobe CS2 installation on new Mac Book Retina

CS2 is too old to run on Macs with Intel Processors lke your MacBook Pro. It was released before Mac shifted from PowerPC to Intel processors. The Adobe site says it is for Macs with G4 and G5 processors only; those predate the entire MacBook Pro product line.

Supposedly, it might run under "Rosetta" emulation on Intel Macs running Mac OS10.6.8, but your new model came with a higher Mac OS version that has abandoned Rosetta support.

Wow: you gave up and threw in the towel after only 36 minutes -- Sad 😟

But in any event: THANKS for the tip about the free download of Adobe Creative Suite CS2:

No, the difference is that I have installed Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels, so that I can run Lion and PowerPC applications concurrently. You gave up after the first responsive post.

As you wish, spend the money as is best for you but again: THANKS FOR THE TIP!
