I own Adobe's CS3. I run it on a 27 inch 2010 Intel IMac with OS 10.6.8. I want to upgrade to Yosemite, but I need to know that Adobe CS3 will run on Yosemite. I have been unable to get a direct answer from Adobe.

Hi George,
I have CS3, but on PPC Mac running 10.5.8, personally I doubt it will, Yosemite at home breaks almost all my apps, many far more recent than CS3, but check this site, I can't get in with my old browser...
PS. whatever you do, keep a bootable copy/clone or 2 of tour 10.6.8 setup, or get an external drive to install OSwhy on.
I have my doubts. In theory CS3 is Intel-based which is a requirement, but I'm pretty sure there's some cruft around the edges that won't run. And Adobe won't support it.
William â Thank you for the reply to my inquiry. I dabble with Adobe CS3 when I create documents for several volunteer organizations I belong to. I'm a retired educator and had purchased CS3 with an educator discount. Would like to upgrade to Mavericks, but can't really afford to upgrade to Adobe's Cloud system. I can't pulled the trigger on an OS upgrade unless I am confident CS3 will function â if it doesn't run on Mavericks I really don't know what I will do. But, again, thanks for your feedback.
William, I really meant to type in Yosemite and not Mavericks... it's been too long of a day! Please excuse the confusion.
I have Yosemite and am able to use PS3 with it.
You should be prompted to install this Java for OS X 2014-001
you should see the prompt after installation of Yosemite as it bootsup
but you can download it beforehand.
So far I haven't come across any issues with PS3, but you may want to check on other forums just in case.
there is a possibility that if you have any third party plugins installed in PS3 that they may not fully function
with Yosemite, so best to contact them for advice, or updates.
Always check that your installed third party software is compatible with the latest OS before upgrading.
Good Luck
I am also running the Adobe CS3 suite & I just upgraded to Yosemite yesterday (Dec. 26, 2014) from Snow Leopard 10.6.8. So I really went for it with this upgrade, of course, taking all the necessary preparations like backups & researching potential problems.
After the upgrade I clicked to run Photoshop & was prompted for the upgrade to Java link just like Eau Rouge indicated. I downloaded it & have been able to run the CS3 programs (Dreamweaver, InDesign, Illustrator & yes even Flash) with no problems thus far.
I am really going to put Photoshop through its paces today & if any issues arise, I will repost back in this forum. But so far all is good. Hope this information helps!

OMG - you have CS3 running on an SE30. Wow. đ
Why WOW?
I just get a kick out of your SE-30 Avatar. The absolute maximum memory on even the latest, 1991 version was 128 Mb ... so good luck running CS3 on that.
thats just my avatar
doesn't mean i'm running it
May I nudge: is anyone who took the leap able to say whether it all worked? Cswan suggested Yes after just 1 day; is that the final answer?
Thank you!
Chris
That's not an SE-30 as indicated by the yellowish beige color. That means it's either an original (likely) or a "Fat Mac" (512K). the Mac Plus was beige also, but it had two floppy slots. The SE-30 was "platinum," a much whiter color.
Jeepers ... who'd a thunk someone would get technical on a technical posting site. đ
You're surrounded by FanBoys and you're surprised??? Swim in the deep end much?
Full disclosure: I actually owned one of the ones in the picture. A 1984 Mac 128 that I bought in 1985 from a friend who hadn't a clue what to do with it. And the rest, as they say, is history. (Mac bigot ever since.)
