when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

I actually own CS2, but I haven't been able to get it to work well since I moved from Tiger to Snow Leopard. So all the hubbub about getting it free reminds me to ask: any ideas about whether it's even possible to get the darn thing to run on Mac OS 10.6.8?

Toddson,

What the others said about ipad mini. Don't bother about virus protection. Not needed at all unless you jailbreak - which I have never done.

I have a continuing problem with iPhone and calendar synch that I cannot find help for. I am synching my outlook exchange calendar. I am a delgate for 2 people. When I recieve meeting requests on my iPhone for them, they appear to be for me. I would ignore this and just process them on the computer, but they get added to the calendar on the phone and so when I look at my day, it looks like I have all these meetings, rendering the iPhone useless for reminding me about my meetings.

Even search terms to look for this problem would be helpful. I get a lot of answers for people who are the boss, but none from the assistants point of view.

According to various comments at the site that was touting the free download, you need to use a MacOs that can run the powerpc emulator Rosetta. Snow Leopard has this, but it doesn't install by default. Rosetta is neither included nor supported in Mac OS X v10.7 "Lion" or later.

Thanks for the advice!

As to a "firewall" I was mostly concerned with security issues for things like buying an app using WiFi.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You can only buy apps from the one place for an iPad, and that's got some serious lockdown.

toddson,

the app store on your ipad mini will be the only place you can buy apps. you can also buy them if you use itunes on your computer, but it will probably be easier to just buy them on your ipad.

sophia,

I have no idea what to do about exchange and delegates. no idea.

By chance, are you running iOS 6.0.1? iOS 6 in general is having problems with calendar. I upgraded my iPad but not iPhone. If I enter an event on the iPad, it doesn't show up on iPhone or computer iCal. If I enter an event on the other two, it doesn't show up on the iPad. I can hit refresh all I want, and it's still like that. There are other flavors of issues with iOS 6 calendar, and I seem to recall hearing ones similiar to yours. I did a google search for "ios 6 calendar problems" and got plenty of hits.

My understanding is iOS 6.1 will be coming out soon. Hopefully they have fixed the calendar problems.
