Before I update  my MacBook to OS X El Capitan, I want to make sure I'll be able to use Photoshop and Illustrator (CS6 - updating to CC is currently not an option for me). Thanks!

    Hi,

    Illustrator CS6 is not officially supported on OSX El Capitan.

    Refer to the system requiements here: System requirements | Adobe Illustrator

    Well, I took one for the team and installed El Capitan. Once it was installed it prompted me to update Java, and everything seems to be in working order. So there's that.

      Have you actually tried using any of the programmes Elizabeth?? I think you'll find that there is SERIOUS problems with ALL the CS6 suite of programmes. Ranging from hanging Splash screens to tools and effects that won't work anymore. And yes I have updated Java and cleared caches, all to no avail. So there's that then!!!

        I heartily agree. Adobe has a duty to answer the question here and now and not leave all its customers to speculate and jeopardize their computers. Surely Adobe could chime in here with something official.

          To Monika, cyber3d and Adobe, I would say, Adobe should consider those who have used their products for years and PROACTIVELY let its non-CC customers know that it is or is not safe to upgrade. Can't Adobe do a press release either way, letting us know which will and will not run as expected? The software is post-beta and Adobe as had plenty of time during the public beta (as well as previous betas) to research this obvious concern.

            El Capitan came out of beta just today. You should wait a few weeks and watch the forums. Even if there are problems they might not appear on the first day of use.
