hallo, habe Adobe Creative Suite 4 und möchte es auf OS high Sierra Version 10.13.6 installieren, weiss jemand bescheid? danke im voraus für tips

you cannot install any 32 bit programs on high sierra including all adobe programs prior to creative cloud.  ie, you can't use cs4 with your os.

ok danke, ich weiss. ich möchte nun downgrade auf OS Tiger tun, damit ich dann das CS4 installieren kann, aber wie soll ich das high sierra mit dem OS Tiger ersetzen?

that's an apple, not adobe question.

i'd google that and i'd be very cautious to make sure you're not going to brick your computer.

What model year is your Mac?

Why Tiger? That is a Very Old version of OS X and to install that you would need the Original Install Discs (DVD's).

Depending on the model year of your Mac you might to be able to install Lion, Mt Lion, Marvericks or Yosemite on it.

But it wasn't until Catalina came out that Apple stop the use of 32bit programs. With Catalina onword only 64bit programs will run on those newer versions of MacOS.

Have you tried installing CS4? If you have what happens?

[Just Shoot Me]

If you have the install DVD's for CS4 all you need is a external CD/DVD drive to use the discs you have.

you can buy one of those external CD/DVD drives for around $20 US in most any computer store or online seller.

Apple did not maintain backward compatibility, so try this to install old programs
