I can't seem to install CS2 on my new Mac computer using Mojave. The software indicates that the Power PC system is not compatible. Are there any options or workarounds?

No there are no workarounds. Apple stopped it from running way, way back in MacOS 10.7, six years ago. Your new Mac is way to old to run MacOS 10.7 or CS2. Part of the joy of Mac ownership is getting all new apps when you get a new Mac or upgrade the system, and now is certainly the time. It does mean you need a careful review of the budget. It's subscription only today, from US$10 per month.

Just to add that photoshop cs2 requires a PowerPC Processor or Rosetta and your mac uses an Intel Processor, which apple switched to in 2006.

(PS It isn't iOS. That's only in phones and iPads! Don't be fooled by all the wrong web pages out there!)
