Re: I have 10.6.8 what can I upgrade to on iMac 9

2020-07-05 Thread Neil Houghton 
Hi Peter,

I upgraded straight from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to El Capitan 10.11.6 on two IMacs 
and a laptop. I am currently writing this on the older iMac - a mid 2007 24" 
Model identifier 7.1 - so older than your machine -though I do have a bit more 
RAM fitted - 6GB (which is the max for this model).

Regarding your software you would need to check all your apps to see what 
versions of each are compatible with El Capitan but:

-  Regarding CS3 - no personal experience but check out this discussion (sounds 
like you should be OK?) 
https://community.adobe.com/t5/download-install/cs3-on-mac-os-x-el-capitan-10-11-5/td-p/9526794?page=1
-  Regarding Office - I was running Office 2004 - so had to upgrade and decided 
to got the Office 365 subscription (see some of my previous posts for reasons) 
- One problem I found was that with some Office 2004 Word & Excel docs - where 
I had carefully formatted to give a specific pdf format - opening in the latest 
Office would change the formatting slightly which was annoying so I ended up 
running the offending docs through Office 2011 first.

Just a minute - this is all sounding very familiar - I think you asked the same 
question last year which I answered here!! :

Don't forget the backups!!


Cheers

But I use Adobe CS3 (Photoshop, Dreamweaver etc) and Office which I use 
extensively

will these still run if I upgrade and which upgrade would be most suitable?
