Adobe CS5.5 Design Premium - What is the most logical order to learn the programs in this suite?

Okay, so I want to become a real Adobe fan. I have CS5.5 Design Premium, I am running Windows 8, I have both a digital camera and video recorder and I have a Bamboo drawing tablet.
What would be the most logical order to learn the programs in the Adobe CS5.5 Design Premium?
Could you provide recommendations for using the online video trainings?

The most logical order is dictated by your own needs. Sorry to be so blunt, but trying to determine the order of which tools and workflows based on "I'm hip when I know Photoshop." or similar is bound to take you nowhere. Any of the individual programs has more features than even pros who use them every day will ever use. Everyone only uses the part relevant to get the work done. That being so, you could be watching tutorials for the next 5 years every day and still not have learned anything relevant. With that in mind there's realyl only two reasonable ways to learn:
a) Attend a structured course.
b) Come up with an idea for a specific project of your own.
A good place to start would be e.g. creating a photographic essay/ story - shoot some photos, edit them in PS, create a layout in ID, some logo in AI. Then you can look up specific tutorials for techniques as you go along.

ADOBE CS5.5 DESIGN PREMIUM STUDENT-INT H5951Z/A Italian language

Good morning,
this is my first thread and may be I'm placing a stupid question and I apologize in advance.
I ordered Adobe CS5.5 Design Premium STUDENT-INT Code H5951Z/A and I will receive it in few days ( through the Italian Apple Store).
My doubt is related to the language, I'm an Italian Student and I would prefer to use this software by using the Italian Language.
Is the Italian Language available with this version?
Thank You very much for Your precious comments.
Best regards
Marta Comalli

Called Apple yesterday and they told me that as far as it has been purchased in Italy there "would" be the Italian language available.
I don't want to appear too difficult on this topic, my concern is that once the Adobe original package will be opened it will be mine, with or without the ITA language.
Maybe the code H5951Z/A tells it but I can't find anything related to it on the web.

Adobe CS5.5 Design Premium Serial Number Not Working

I just wiped my macbook pro harddrive and upgraded to Lion OSX. I bought the CS5 Design Premium last year (in a case). Unfortunately, my discs are unavailable, but I do have the correct serial number. When I downloaded the CS5.5 Design premium trial (to plug in my serial number), it says it isn't valid. Is there a place that I can download the CS5 Design Premium Suite so that my serial number will work? Help! I'm a photographer and I need PS to work immediately!

Maddiewilbur have you lost your installation media or is it just unavailable for the moment? If you will have access to the installation media at a later time I would recommned installing the trial of Design Premium CS5.5 and then remove it and install CS5 once you have access to it.

Mac book pro i5 dual core Adobe CS5.5 Design Premium

Hi All,
I am thinking of getting a 13" 2011 mac pro i5 dual core for graphics design and not for any video editing. Can anybody advice the on board HD 3000 graphics is adequate to run adobe CS5.5 suites (illustrator, indesign,photoshop etc)?
Thanks in advance
Gaj

It is adequate but not great. Also the screen size would be limiting for this type of work.
I suggest you look into the 15" models as they have a dedicated graphics chip and a larger screen, of course.
You will also want to upgrade the RAM from the standard 4GBs to 8GBs but you can do that yourself for much less money then buying it from Apple with the unit.

Adobe CS5.5 Design Premium Student and Teacher Edition

I bought CS5.5 back in 2013. I have installed it on my macbook pro and currently I am planning to purchase a new Macbook. I am wondering if I can install it again on the new laptop. Or whether or not I can somehow move CS5.5 from the old to the new laptop. Also, I am wondering if I need to go through the whole verification process since it is a student and teacher edition.
Thanks.

Hi Kenny,
You can use the same serial number on the new machine without any issues. Just make sure that you are deactivating the product on your old machine before installing this on the new Mac. To deactivate, you can simply go to Help > Deactivate in any one of the product's. Also, you can use the following link to download the product on your new machine.
Download CS5.5 products
PS: Please do not use Time machine to move Adobe programs from your Older machine to New one.
Cheers,

CS5.5 Design Premium: installer failed to initialize

Ok, I'm having this problem. This started because I had to perform a system restore. I ended having to go back so far with the system restore that all of my Adobe Products(among others) no longer appeared to be installed.
So I downloaded Adobe CS5.5 Design premium from a link mentioned elsewhere in the discussions. Everything extracts fine, but when I execute the installer it always prompts "installer failed to initialize". I have downloaded the Adobe support advisor. It shows multiple:
cpsid_82829s1: "A restart is pending," bootstrapper error has occurred.
Click here for details and corrective actions related to this issue.
I have clicked the links(http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-error-messages-bootstrapper-cs5.html) below and followed the instructions. There is no "InProgress" Entry in the registry in the locations provided. I have also ran the "Adobe CS5 Cleaner Tool " Multiple times and have removed ALL. I have deleted every directory on this computer that says Adobe.
This is a clients computer and we REALLY don't want to wipe and reload(Money/time and all that). Can anyone help me with this error?

System restore is a first resort for most people when there is a problem in Windows. Obviously it wasn't a hit in this situation. I know a wipe and reload would fix it. If you read my post you'd see I'm trying to avoid that. If you have any information that can help me there I would love to know it.

I bought Adobe CS5.5 Design Standard. Acrobat Pro X is there included. But when I want to start it, it says that the serial number is invalid. Like a test version which is finished. What do I have to do?

While upgrading Adobe Creative Suite CS4 ME into Adobe Creative Suite CS5.5 Design Premium, I get an error saying This serial number is not of a qualifying product, please try another. I used to be able to get a code from customer service but I can't get

While upgrading Adobe Creative Suite CS4 ME into Adobe Creative Suite CS5.5 Design Premium, I get an error saying This serial number is not of a qualifying product, please try another. I used to be able to get a code from customer service but I can't get to the chat. Please advise!!!!

MoeGhazal I reviewed your account and it looks like you have have upgraded from a CS4 volume license for Design Premium to a retail upgrade of Design Premium 5.5.
I also show that you made two purchases of CS5.5 Design Premium but the second purchase was canceled. Please make sure you are utilizing the serial number which ends in 7886.
If you are using the correct serial number then it is likely the installer will not recognize your volume license CS4 serial number as being valid for an upgrade. If you can contact our support team then you can be walked through an unlocking procedure to allow you to proceed with the installation. You can contact our support team directly at Contact Customer Care. You may want to try installing a web browser you have not previously utilized. It is likely a toolbar or some other software application is affecting your ability to access chat support successfully.
If you are still unable to reach our support team then please verify the information under your account is accurate. If you can please then update this discussion after confirming this then I can request a member of our support team contact you directly.
Again I would recommend reaching out directly if possible as it will be the most efficient method of resolving your current error.

When I try to install CS6 Design and Web Premium from a disk I get this message "We are unable to validate this serial number..." What is the reason for this?

I purchased a disk copy of CS6 Design and Web Premium from a reputable seller last week and when I try to install it with the serial number I got it says "We are unable to validate this serial number for CS6 Design and Web Premium. Please contact Customer Support." What is the reason for this?
Is the serial number invalid?

Hi Ned,
Thanks for the suggestion. I eventually got in touch with Adobe Technical Support and it turned out that my Adobe Application Manager was not the latest version. They downloaded the latest version and installed it and that seemed to solve the problem. I was able to install my CS6 Creative Suite and validate the serial number. All seems to be going well at the moment.

Problems with the CS5.5 Design Premium Suite on OSX Lion?

Hi, did anybody had already problems with the CS5.5 Design Premium Suite on OSX Lion? I purchased the software as a Volume licenced product recently and everything was working fine, until since few days my Indesign and Illustrator keep crashing on launch. I de-installed and re-installed the entire CS5 Suite on my iMac, but Indesign and Illustrator still keep on crashing while launching. I already rang the Adobe tech support but they are not very helpful at all... Its quite frustrating.

No problems here with CS5. After I upgraded to Lion I did update to 5.5 and still did not experience any problems. There are some handy articlles on Adobe's web site relating to compatability with Lion, but I have experienced none. Have you checked the third party plug-ins in Illustrator and InDesign for compatability if you have any installed?

We are unable to activate your CS5.5 Design Premium

Hello,
I'm unable to activate my CS5.5 product and getting the error as "We are unable to activate your CS5.5 Design Premium" and later it says Please connect to Internet. I tried all the possible steps mentioned in this forum and also followed the steps mentioned under this below document:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html
I'm in Home netwok, firewall is disabled, no anti-virus.
Creating a new Admin account is the only option?
System Info: Mac OSX 10.5.8 core 2 duo
My serial key is correct.
Any further suggestions?? Please help!
Thank you.

Hello,
I too had the same issue and tried all the steps mentioned in the above document. But it failed. I contacted my IT guy who informed that there is no firewall enabled in the modem. I'm using a home pc.
Lately, I contacted your support team who performed the same steps again and did not resolve the issue. Finally one guy said do something called selective startup on my Windows 7. I'm uneasy with this. He said that it is a part of their troubleshooting steps and can enable them back. I said okay and did it which did not resolve this issue. At last he said to create a new admin account!!! I was not at all satisfied with this resolution but yes I did and it did work! But I'm greatly confused. What could have been the issue? I don't want to create a new account everytime I face this issue. So any possible reasons other than which are mentioned in the document?
TY!
Mr. Lowell

Problems with Re-installation of CS5.5 Design Premium

I bought a "Student & Teacher Edition" of the CS5.5 Design Premium in 2012. It was installed in my iMac and the software worked perfectly. Unfortunately, a few weeks ago, my iMac hard disk crashed and need to be replaced. When I got the iMac back recently, I re-installed my various softwares, including the CS5.5. The re-installation process went well initially until the 93% mark when there is a message that tells me to turn off the "SafariNotificat" application. I have no clue what that was. After looking through all the applications, I could not find such "SafariNotificat" application, I cancelled the installation process. Apparently, all the applications in the CD were installed successfully, except for the Adobe Acrobat X Pro. When I attempted to install my CD again. I received error message "Exit Code: 7 -------------------------------------- Summary -------------------------------------- - 1 fatal error(s), 2 error(s), 0 warning(s) ERROR: DW020: Found payload conflicts and errors: ERROR: DW020: - Adobe Flash CS5.5 depends on Flash Player to be installed. FATAL: DW020: Conflicts were found in the selected payloads. Halting installation. -----------". This happens even when I installed using the downloaded program from Adobe. Can anyone advise me on this? How can I get my Adobe Acrobat X Pro re-installed? Thank you.

Hi! Mylenium, I managed to solve the problem through another forum entitled : "Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium Installation". I followed the instructions (by robski) i.e. uninstalled the Flash Catalyst and reinstalled both the Flash Catalyst and Adobe Acrobat X Pro. The applications were successfully installed and working fine! Thank you for your help too! Cheers!

10.5.8 is the minimum. You'll need to upgrade the operating system.
I strongly recommend a clean install.

Issue downloading CS5.5 Design Premium

I was given the following webpage to download my software with my serial number:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-5-product-downloads.html
The option CS5.5 Design Premium is not there - only cs5.5 design standard, cs5.5 web premium orcs5.5 production premium
What should I do?

if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs5-5-direct-download-links.html
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.
