Can I run my Adobe CS6 applications in macOS (12) Monterey?

[John T Smith · Accepted solution]

No, Apple did not consider backward compatibility with Catalina and newer

[Nancy OShea · Accepted solution]

No. Monterey can't support it.

You need to revert to Mojave.  Or buy new software.

Adobe is pathetic in this area.

And it community support experts remind me of the paid Chinese promoters of products on Amazon.  Adobe has been a horrific company in considering consumer needs.  

Microsoft Office legacy products work orders of mangnitude better than Adobe products.  There is not effort.  Quite the contrary. Adobe wants to promote its cloud monthly products and will do anything in their power to kill the desktop applications that they sold.

Really sad.

you have no idea what you're asserting.

name one microsoft (or any other product) whose 32 bit progam(s) work on monterey.

p.s. cs6 works today on every computer os that it worked on 10 years ago when it was released.

Adobe did not change old programs to make them stop working

The fault here is 100% due to Apple not providing a way for old programs to run on new operating systems
