Adobe CS3  Choosing text tool, and attempting to enter text, jumps the Tool Chosen

So, I open a new document, choose the Text Tool, it hiighlights the tool in the left tool palette.  The I place the Text Tool icon on the page and start to type.  The highlighted box back in the tool panel wildly jumps from tool to tool.  This is the ed version, part of the CS# Master Suite, I just it just a few times, it worked fine for a business card just six months ago. The other programs in the suite work find.  I have followed the procedure to clear out any preference files.  What gives????  I tried downloading updates, it won't let me do that.  Has Adobe installed Hal onmy machine?

Before you can enter text you need a text frame. With the text tool, click and drag a frame the shize you want, then the toool will allow you to type inside the frame.

    CS3 is unsupported under Windows 8. That said, you'll need to contact Adobe

    Updated to Adobe Muse 2014 this morning and have worked in it for the last 8 hours. Now when I try to publish the updated site to Business Catalyst for my client to preview it crashes everytime. I have tried just publishing altered files only, then tried the whole site again, and then tried publishing as a new site altogether. Thought I would then try to export as HTML in the hope of uploading the files via an FTP client and Muse crashes and locks up again. I am extremely stressed about this as I am in the last few days of of website I have been working on now with no issues since December. We are due to go live and my client needs to see it. I am desperate for an answer. It is not looking good. I am on an Apple Mac and have not had any isses publishing it for the last 6 months. Not very happy to say the least. Need desperate help.

    Hi Zak, I got onto Adobe Customer Care Live Chat this morning and gave them the error message. After some trouble shooting with them it appears the older archived file of the site still publishes. I have now reverted back to the old file and copied and pasted out of the new file and from some ideas given to me by support I am now able to publish to Business Catalyst. It seems there was something corrupt within the new pages added yesterday. I have no idea if this would have still happened if I hadn't updated but I am glad it wasn't a Muse specific problem. I am loving using Muse and the support from Adobe has been excellent. Thanks everyone. By the way I do love the new version and apart from this hick up that lost me a few hours, aged me some more and gave me grey hair I really love Muse. Thanks again.

  • I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

    I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt or damaged. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

    Perhaps the PDF files are corrupted.
    Hit the command key and spacebar, a blue Spotlight in the upper right hand corner appears, now type Preview and press return on the Preview program.
    Now you can try opening the PDF's from the file menu and see what's going on.
    If they are corrupted, perhaps they are trojans from your Windows PC or gotten from a bad location online.
    Download the free ClamXav and run a scan on the possibly infected folder.

    I backed up my 3GS using iTunes. I then restored the file to my new 4GS. Then I synced the apps onto the 4GS. Then I downloaded 2 custom ringtones, and attempted to sync them onto the 4GS, but it says "This Library is already synced with another phone, and if you try to sync, you will lose all of the information on the iPhone." I am a Windows user. This Sync process is VERY confusing.

    How can I possibly get these two new ringtones onto the iPhone without wiping out everything else on the phone? This Sync process is nuts.
    I have Backed Up the phone twice. Why would iTunes try to wipe out the phone?

    You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
    Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

  • Mini and Adobe CS3 vs G4 tower and CS2

    Graphic artist is using
    tower G4 Dual 1GHz
    2mb L3 cache per processor
    1.5 gb RAM with Creative Suite 2
    I am suggesting we move on to a MacMini 1.66GHZ with 1 gig Ram using CS3...
    Any opinions on relative speeds - I have CS2 on a Mini and it is slower than the G4, but I'd reckon CS3 on Intel would be quicker? All we would install would be Office and CS3.
    (more RAM is an option, but just out of the box - what do you think?)

    CS3 would indeed be quicker on an Intel mini since it's Intel native, thus runs without the memory and performance hit caused by Rosetta. I'd expect a 1.66 mini with 1Gb RAM and native software to outperform a dual 1GHz processor G4 by a notable margin, suffering only from a slower hard drive. However, since you note the intention to also use MS Office, which is NOT yet Intel native, I'd expect running that to cause the system a significant slowdown because it would require Rosetta to run in the background. Under that circumstance, I'd urge the system to be upgraded to the max of 2Gb RAM, which should allow enough room for CS3 to run well, and still provide sufficient RAM to get reasonable performance from MS Office. Alternatively, you could perhaps download Neo Office instead (it's fully MS Office compatible, free and Intel native) in which case 1Gb would be sufficient (2 would be better).
    And just to add to the possible complications, I'd also want to throw in an external, faster, FW drive, which could be set up to boot from and squeeze even more performance out of the system.
    Ooops - ON EDIT: Neo Office can be found at http://neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php

    Web designers are safe if you use CS3. Studio 8, your out of luck.
    InDesign CS3, Photoshop CS3, Illustrator CS3 is safe. CS2 your out of luck.
    After Effects CS3 must use update.....slated for December.
    Acrobat Pro 8, and any of Adobe video and sound production apps the same as After Effects.

    Hello,
    Thank you very much for the answers, but for me it is already to late. I tried to install Tiger again, to be able to install Adobe Photoshop CS3 and then upgrade, but my iMac won't boot from the Tiger DVD even though it starts from the Leopard DVD. I have no glue what I am doing wrong. I pressed the "D" key during the boot - as stated in my manual and nothing happens. The machine just start Leopard from hard drive again.
    I also tried to insert the Tiger DVD while Leopard is running and then choose the Tiger installer, but it tells me, that it can not install on my machine. I do not understand anything.
    As far as I understand from Adobe, there should not be any problem to install Adobe Photoshop CS3. Nevertheless it definitely does not install on my machine (only the "shared components").
    Kind regards,
    Cornelia

  • Adobe CS3: Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, and Flash (Not opening)

    Hi,
    I have had the adobe creative suite suite 3 Deisgn premium for over an year now.  Recently over the past 2 months I am no longer able to open up any of the following programs:
    Photoshop
    Dreamweaver
    Illustrator
    Flash
    They have worked for me in the past but now they are just not opening up for me.  I have tried plenty of things such as:
    Uninstalling the whole cd then reinstalling
    Calling customer service
    Browsing/googling for ways to fix it
    Yet I still have been yet to get this issue resolved.  I have tried installing the CS4 30 day trial and that works fine.  But I want my CS3 version to work.  I tried everything.  The thing is I do not get an error message either on the these so there is no way of titling this issue.  If it helps I have windows vista.  Well please let me know what you come up with .  My email is [email protected]  Thank you!
    Brett Ryan

    What does happen?     When I double click on them nothing happens for a second it gives me the loading signal but nothing comes up.
    You say no error message - how far in the boot process does the program get?  Does it just not respond at all?  Does the program load-box appear and freeze?  Does the program load-box appear and dissapear?  Does the computer freeze up in the middle of the load?
               You never end up seeing anything for any of the applications except for photoshop which loads but then closes right away.  So it just doesnt respond at all.  But there is no freezing.  So the load-box only appears and dissapears when I open photoshop. but for everything else it just never appears.
    Does the process display in your processes list?  
                No it does not display
    Did you install/uninstall/delete anything around the time this started?
    I'm pretty sure I didnt uninstall or install anything around the  time it started.  I think I would remember if it did.  So i'm pretty sure I did not.
    Did you try going back to a restore point before this started?  No I did not.
    Have you run a thorough virus scan?  Yes I have and nothing comes up.

  • I am attempting to connect my Canon Pixma MG5220 printer/copier/scanner to my MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8.  After loading software from Canon and attempting to print, I get the following message: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED.  What can I do to fix this?

    I just purchased and installed a Canon Pixma MG5220 printer/copier/scanner to my PC desktop with Windows XP.  It works fine.  It has been successfully installed on my network and I am able to use it with my laptop running VISTA.  However, I am trying to connect it to my MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8 and I am not having much luck.  I can see it as one of the printer choices when attempting to print; however, I get the following message:
    NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
    I have been searching for answers, but nothing seems to work yet.  Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Let me understand:
    - you have purchased named canon, which is conencted to your PC running windows xp
    - downloaded driver for win xp, and canon works fine
    - canon is connected to that PC via USB
    - that Canon is also activated as network printer, by allowing print sharing in windows; how did you set that option?
    - now, you are in Mac OS x 10.6.8, downloaded Canon driver for Mac OS X, installed it, detected printer on the network, printer was installed; was it detected as attached to that PC running win XP? or not?
    or you set canon by being connected to your mac directly via USB?
    Now, there are some questions you should answer as some details are missing, and your initial text is not clear. Can you print if Canon is connected directly to your mac? did you try that? if not, do it before answering.
