Actions not working from CS6 to CS5

I use a series of actions that were created in CS6 and are not that complicated. They resize and align an object to coordinates with the center reference point and proportions constrained. I assumed that they would translate to other coworker’s machines with cs5 and cs5.5, but they do not work. The actions appear to load properly, but do not run like they should.
When I hit the assigned hotkey, the selected object moves, but not to the correct location and does not change size as it is supposed to. Also, I can try to manually play individual parts of the action (moving to a reference point or resizing to a certain width) and nothing happens. Not even a wiggle. When I do try to do them one at a time, the small downward triangle button that reveals details of the action disappears and when I click again I get an error message that says 'the object "transform panel" is not available.' I assume this means that action is looking for a location that has changed name or something, but I don't know how they work well enough to spot any differences when viewing the action with a text editor.
All of the computers I tried had win7. Mine is CS6 (v 16.0.2 64-bit), 2 others had CS5 and 5.5.

I have uploaded them here: http://ge.tt/63PjiIU/v/0
The actions all have hotkeys assigned to them. I never noticed it in cs6 when I set up the commands, but in the cs5 computer that I was looking at had conflicts with using f5, f6, f7, and f8. Not sure if yours will too.
The actions are designed for a document with multiple art boards but they will work if you only have one for testing purposes. All the commands are meant for a single object or a single group. Align must be set to art board, proportions constrained, and set the center reference point, but if you don't have them, they still should still function. The art board must be 14" x 11".
Pressing F5 will align object to a position in the upper left corner of the art board. F6, lower left. F7 and F8 will do the same for the right side. The actions will resize the object to a specific width, height is not important.
Adding a modifier of ctrl/cmd or shift should give different actions to the ones listed above. You might want to test those out, but honestly if one works, they should all work.
Let me know if anything is confusing... I made them and they work for me, but I haven’t done any actions in the past and if they are sloppy, let me know.

  • Can anyone tell me if you can back save from CS6 to CS5 Illustrator, Indesign and Photoshop OK?

    Can anyone tell me if you can back save from CS6 to CS5 Illustrator, Indesign and Photoshop OK? Want to upgrade to CS6 but must I must still remain compatible with work. They are using CS5.

    To clarify your answer for Illustrator.  The option is not in the "Save As" dialog box.
    The correct answer is
    Open you CS6 Illustrator file.
    File>Save As 
    The Save As dialog box opens
    Type your file name (DIFFERENT THAN ORIGINAL PLEASE!) and the Save as Type is still going to be Adobe Illustrator (*.AI)   **This is where the above instructions threw me, as the Save as type drop down does not list anything about versions to save fo)
    Click Save
    Once you click Save, the Illustrator Options dialog box will come up.  The first option is titled Version and has a drop down menu.  Select the version of illustrator you want to save your file as here, then click ok.
    Your done.
    I strongly suggest you give this file a different name than your original CS6 Illustrator version as you may lose some parts of your design in the conversion.
    Hope this helps.  Enjoy!

  • I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

    I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

    I would first of all trash the preference file for InDesign, make sure the application is closed then find the prefs in
    /Users/USER NAME/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign and just throw the entire folder away, it will generate a new one after you launch InDesign again.
    Now launch InDesign and see if the problems are resolved.
    If not I would repair your permissions on your hard drive wih disk utility, and if that fails then di-install InDesign and re-install that single application.
    Let me know if any of these suggestions work for you
    I will be checking my email although you might have to wait for a response as I will be taking a microlight flight over the Victoria Falls tomorrow. Yay can hardly wait.

  • Is it possible to use a file from CS6 in CS5.5

    I'm hoping to buy CS6 but I use CS5.5 at college. Is it possible to bring a file from CS6 into CS5.5. If not, where can I get CS5.5?

    PS files are backward compatible if you save them with maximum compatibility enabled. likewise, AI files can be saved back to older versions. Of course in both cases specific features from CS6 will be lost or rasterized to pixels, so they are not editable in CS5.5. In Design might be a bit more tricky. It supports saving back to CS5.5, but this may completely ruin your documents, if you use the new dynamic layout features, Arabic text etc., so it's less useful to go that route.

    I tried this code for photoshop CC and CC 2014, it works for both but I couldn't get it to run for cs6 it gives the below error from the extension manager:
    so isn't Version="[13.0,15.9]" correct? why would it not work for cs6? thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    CS6 doesn't support HTML Panels but Flash ones, this should be the why the Adobe Extension Manager fails.
    You might find help here (Flash): Creative Suite Extension Builder and here (HTML): Extension Builder 3

    Had the C partition been split/shrunk to form a new partition previously?
    Does disk management show the HDD as basic or dynamic? (Start>Right-click Computer>Manage>disk management on the left).
    If it has been switched to dynamic (Windows does this automatically when more than 4 partitions are present on the disk), then the F11 recovery partition won't function until it is restored to basic, but I would like to confirm that is the scenario before providing those steps.
    The Disk management shows that my HDD as Dynamic, what should i do then if this is the case and the possible solution to my problem?
    please help me & Thank you for your time,

    If you have more than 4 partitions you will need to delete the extra partition/partitions, then convert the hdd back to Basic.

  • The file to download the app for Android is not working from my phone--it says that the file isn't there. However it does see the one for the Iphone (even though it can't use it). I'm very computer literate and am pretty sure the problem is on your end.

    The file to download the app for Android is not working from my phone--it says that the file isn't there. However it does see the one for the Iphone (even though it can't use it). I've tried it multiple times and continue to get the same message: "NOT FOUND The requested item could not be found". I also tried through the Market application on the phone but ended-up with the same result.
    I'm very computer literate and am pretty sure the problem is on your end. If this is the case then no one can download the app. I considered that perhaps because it's still in Beta that it was removed due to some other type of software issue. I would really like to use Firefox on my new Droid (2.0); when with this be available?

    Firefox will not appear in the Market for most phones with incompatible hardware. You can check if your phone is supported here:
    https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android
    Even on some supported devices, a bug in the Market software prevents Firefox from showing up. This may be related to the fairly recent Android Market app update. If you go to Settings/Applications/Market and choose "Uninstall" you can uninstall the update, and then search for and install Firefox from the marketplace.
    Or, if you have a supported phone, you can download the app directly by typing this address into your phone's browser: http://bit.ly/fxbeta3
    (Note: To download the app directly for an AT&T phone, you will have to search for instructions on "sideloading" the APK file, since AT&T disables the option to install from non-Market sources.)

  • File- Print not working from SQL Developer 1.2.1 Build MAIN-32.13

    File->Print not working from SQL Developer 1.2.1 Build MAIN-32.13.
    I downloaded sqldeveloper-1.2.1.3213.ZIP and extract to a local directory. From the extracted directory I ran ..\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper.exe from Windows XP sp2. The program itself seems to run just fine but File-Print doesn't do anything. In Help-About, Java Platform is reported as 1.5.0_06 and Oracle IDE is 1.2.1.3213. I'm not sure where to look for what is causing the problem.
    Thanks

    I hadn't tried CTRL-P before but I did today. On the first attempt, I saw a small jump in the memory usage for sqldeveloper.exe as reported in Windows Task Manager. Otherwise, there was no change. A second CTRL-P in the same session produced a further bump but subsequent attempts in the same session produced no further change in CPU or Memory Usage.
    Using Task Manager to monitor this further, I tried File->Print again and saw that sqldeveloper would periodically climb to 1 or 2 percent CPU and consume a little more memory. After a minute or so, though, all activity stops again.
    I do not get a print dialog box from SQLDeveloper using either CTRL-P or File->Print

    file sharing is not working from pc to imac os x 10.9.2

    Hello there Karen,
    It sounds like you are having to power cycle your modem to get internet back every single day. We can start by troubleshooting your Airport Express to help isolate the issue. I would first perform a Soft Reset, then test the issue again. If needed as a last resort I would then perform a Hard Reset:
    Soft reset
    Connect the device to power and wait for it to complete its start up process. To learn more about the start up process, please see All about Wi-Fi base station Status Lights (LED).
    Press and hold the reset button with a pen, pencil, or straightened paperclip for 1 full second, then release it. The light (LED) will begin flashing amber, indicating that the device is in soft reset mode.
    From the AirPort menu bar item, choose the network created by the device (the network name does not change).
    Open AirPort Utility from Applications > Utilities.
    Select the base station, then click Edit (The Edit window will indicate that the base station is in Soft Reset mode).
    Move through the tabs to make changes to your passwords or other settings as needed, and click Update and Continue as required
    Quit AirPort Utility.
    Hard reset
    Press and hold the reset button with a pen, pencil, or straightened paperclip until you see the status light (LED) start to flash amber rapidly, which should occur after about five seconds.
    Release the button and the device will reset.
    Wait about a minute for the base station to finish restarting, then open AirPort Utility from Applications > Utilities.
    Select the base station from Other Wi-Fi Devices, then click Edit.
    Select the Other Options button.
    Select "Restore previous settings" and click Next until you get to the final window.
    AirPort Utility will indicate that Setup is complete. Click Done.
    Quit AirPort Utility.
