I was wondering what is the best place to buy Photoshop CS4 for Mac (price wise and such)? I don't need the entire CS4 Suite just photoshop and I am current college student so I get the discount. I was checking on Amazon last night and I can get the student edition for about $200, I could of swore I saw it for $150 a while back....
I was considering dropping down to Photoshop Elements but have grown up on the full version and am timid to drop to PSE...
Im looking to add firewire, can I use a express 34 card or only a express 54? The other thing is I have a dlink dir655 wireless router N . The computer is using G not N, I cant go N only because my wife's computer is G. Is there a way to change it? I love the computer going to upgrade the cpu its a 6400 now and add fast harddrives.

I`ve considered Macbook pro new 2010 line. The macbook pro 13 inch is perfect with its weight, battery life, design but.. performance with 320M card.. How is it ?
I would be gratefull to the owners of new macbook pro for answering my question:
1) How is Mac OS for photoediting ex Photoshop CS4 ? Will 13" Macbook handle converting Raw photos to Jpg?
2) How is Mac OS in games ? How long does the battery holds when gaming om Mac OS?
3) How long does Windows 7 hold on one bat. charge with wi-fi and under gaming?
4) Will I be able to play on macbook pro 13" Gta4, Splinter Cell Conviction - on medium setting?
5) Am I to consider smth else for my needs like Acer 3820 ?
My work has a site license for photoshop cs4, will the serial number work with the mac version?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've installed Photoshop CS4 11.0.1 on my Macbook Pro (15", 2.8Ghz, nVidia 9600M GT), but under Preferences>Performance, the GPU Settings section is greyed out with the message: "Graphics hardware acceleration is unavailable. You will need to upgrade your video driver and possibly your video card."
I have tried re-installing Photoshop, trashing preference files etc. But the problem still exists. I can't find anything on the web about the 9600M GT or the 9400M not being recognised by Phothop CS4, so what could be causing this?
So Photoshop CS 4 is giving me corrupt graphics. It's very random, I've only come across it a couple of times.
Here's the picture: Click! (1Mb png)
Does this mean that my 9600 is faulty, since CS 4 is using my GPU?
(the only reason I linked the picture is because it's 1680x1050 and 1MB, and I didn't want to stretch the page)
I am considering a new notebook in a month or two. and the Macbook Pro is in my list. I am wondering if the GeForce 320M has been benchmarked, and if it's signifcantly better than the 9400M GT, and if it can handle StarCraft 2 and maybe some acceleration in FireWorks and Photoshop?

my girlfriend just bought the airport express and is having trouble setting it up. She said she hooked up the express to the wall and connected it to her dsl modem and then connected the modem to the ethrenet port in the wall. After install AirPort utility on hermacbookshe tried setting up the express but it can't find it. The express has a flash orange light and I read the manual and it says it can't establish a network connection. We've tried unplugging it and plugging it back in and tried multiple ethrenet cords but it still doesn't work.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI had WiFi with my trusty AirPort Extreme...until I installed AirPort Express. Now I have a whopping nothing!
AirPort Express keeps blinking the amber light of death (with internet connected), and will not transmit a signal. {Yes I have troubleshooted this thing over and over again to no avail}.
I have also switched the internet cable back over to my trusty AirPort Extreme, which will give me a green light, which promptly throws my network name into the list of available networks, but there is no signal strength displayed (in bars) and the Mac cannot connect to it.
I hope someone out there in MacLand might have a possible solution before both of these non-working airport devices find themselves flying out the window!

Will this configuration be good enough for this, or I *must* consider dual core.
Just got a Hp Compaq 6535b, and i cant get photoshop to start on it. IT just freezes on start...Installing it took too long, and uninstalling it took waaaay to long.
reinstalled XP and again, same problem.
Could a conflict with some drivers produce this? anything reported on this issue around the net?
On the other hand, the hard drive, from day one, makes a clacking noise everytime it reads anything...is this normal? Could a bad HD be the cause of this photoshop problem?
I've had my covet for arround less than a month now and i've now got serious issues with photoshop cs4 and all the cs4 suite.. like selecting actionscript in flash cs4s actionscript panel.. (major lag)
It must be the graphics drivers, but i have installed all the varieties i have read about on this forum both from nvidia & laptovideo2go to no availe.. after opening a few psd's and trying to move layers around from one to the other (via the tabs etc..) it really starts to become unusable.. it feals like there is a graphics card memeory leak or something, also when i open the nvidia control panel to see what's going on the 3d logo start to stutter when i move my mouse over it continiously...
is anybody else having issue with cs4..?

How many of you enjoy using the 13.1" (1600x900) screen on the Vaio Z for Illustrator or Photoshop? Do you all plug it into larger monitors before using any of these or other Adobe Creative Suite applications? I do a lot of complex Illustrator work that requires attention to detail, but also some light Photoshop work. Other than that, my use of the laptop would be limited to MS Office, Firefox, and iTunes.
Further, would you prefer a 14.1" (1440x900) screen for Adobe CS work, without an external monitor? Does the extra inch and lower resolution make much of a difference?
At this point, this is the only thing keeping me from hitting the order button on either a somewhat expensive, yet powerful Z (plus an extra monitor, mouse, and keyboard), or a relatively cheaper, albeit less powerful Lenovo T400S (without an extra monitor or other accessories).
(The T400S's beautifully thin (0.83") profile is also rather attractive in comparison to the Z's bulkiness.)

I purchased a TT-34G/D couple of months ago. I use an Option Globetrotter 3G express card for mobile internet where wifi is unavailable.
However, the card fits very loosely inside the slot, and comes out upon a slightest pull.
