Adobe CS5 Production Premium vs. Adobe CS4 Production Premium

Hello:
I am currently a worker at a production studio and we are thinking about upgrading our system Adobe CS3 Production Premium to either Adobe CS4 Production Premium or Adobe CS5 Production Premium. Our company was at NAB convention in Las Vegas this year and were convinced that Adobe CS5 Production Premium was the way to go. However we come to find (after purchace) that Adobe CS5 Production Premium only runs on (and correct me if Im wrong) 64 bit. Now stuck with a system we cant use on our vista 32 bit I was wondering what are the beneifits between the two and if CS5 is really that great is it worth while to upgrade my computer systems. I am sure I am not the only one to have run into this problem. Any input or advice would be great.
Sincerely,
Really Confused

Look HERE for a quick summary of the new features in After Effects. I can personally attest to the power of the new rotobrush. If you do that kind of work, it will save you a ton of time. Rendering times are considerably faster and being able to RAM preview a 30 or 40 second clip all the way through at full res is finally a reality.
Look HERE for a summary of the new features in Premiere Pro. The major improvement here, in my opinion, is the ability to preview a multi-layer timeline with several effects in real time at full res without rendering.
I can't tell you if it's worth it to you to upgrade or not. All I can say is that I'm really happy with it, so far.

Yes...lots of folks at Adobe. And since they haven't released any information, you'll need to wait like the rest of us.
Also, before I buy is there any compatibility issues with Windows 7 x64 and CS4 Design Premium?
Thanks,

Now...that I can help you with. CS4 is fully supported under Win7 in both 32 and 64 bit. I have the full master collection here and everything runs just fine.

Switch from Adobe CS5 on Windows to Adobe CS5 on a Mac?

Hello,
In December I bought a student edition of Adobe CS5 Production Premium for Windows from Amazon.com, but just a few months later I found out that the art department at the school that I will attend has a laptop requirement of a Mac. I don't want to have to pay for another license for CS5 since I will no longer be using CS5 on my Windows laptop. Is there any way that I can trade in the license without having to upgrade to CS5.5 on the way to switching to Mac? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Ithu

As a Mac user, I'm used to crazy requirements for Windows only so I sympathize!
There's another possibility: If you have an Intel Mac produced in the past four or five years, you can get free software from Apple called Boot Camp and run it on your Mac. You can run a Windows partition on the Mac and install your Windows version of Adobe CS5 there.
Here is more information on Boot Camp:
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
For a little more money, you can buy Parallels or VMWare so you can run your Mac and Windows partitions at the same time and quickly switch back and forth.

Adobe CS5 MC Win to Adobe CS5 MC Mac Upgrade

Hi,
Firstly, I am in India.
I asked this on chat with customer service they asked me to contact reseller regarding product swap for this, but when I contacted one listed they said that its not possible as Adobe CS5 isn't available anymore and only CS5.5 is + they don't know if cross-os upgrade is actually possible, but since I got new macbook pro due to (better backup feature and iOS development etc) I want to get my Adobe Master Collection from my old PC to new Macbook pro and I don't wanted to go for cs5.5 due to money issue(I would sit tight for cs6). I even contacted few other resellers and distributors it seems they are not quiet interested in this deal (passing from one person to another). What should I do?.
Thanks in prior for help.
Dhawal

I made another post regarding this and other issue I got due to this issue that is 'upgrading to cs5.5 first' I got that one resolved and after 3 weeks I get that product + a two week of searching around and asking resellers if they are interested in selling one. Adobe's India head alteready made contact with me regarding this issue.
For first issue that is switing to mac, I followed Bob's advice temporarly and got creative suite on bootcamp so that I can start working on projects. Meanwhile I am in middle of a project so I can't sign LOD and not use software for a week or two (might take longer since 1 week is wait time in US). I will sign LOD in next 3 weeks most probably and wait for mac version.

Error when attempting to update Adobe CS5 Master Collection via Adobe Application Manager

I have a copy of Adobe CS5 Master Collection running on OS X Yosemite.
For the last few weeks, anytime that I'm prompted to update CS5, I allow it but it fails. See the first screenshot below for details. The second screenshot is the error log file.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Bumping this to hopefully get some exposure and replies. Still getting this error, and not able to update. Any ideas?

What is the procedure to reinstall Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro from the CS4 Design Premium discs?

I have uninstalled Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro from my hard drive but I'm not sure which disc to use to reinstall. The CS4 discs are marked "Application 1," "Application 2," "Content," and "Learning Adobe Creative Suite 4." I'm on a three year old Imac running Mac OSX 10.6.8.

Hi dlavin999,
The disk 2 usually is meant for Acrobat 9. You can insert the disc and check for yourself.

Can't install Adobe CS5.5 via the Adobe download assistant.

I've updated Java but once the adobe assistant has installed it just disappears and nothing else happens. Please help, this is my first Mac (Macbook Pro 17 2.2 quad core running lion 10.7.2) and I need it for my work. I also tried to install Adobe Air but the exact same thing happens.
Many thanks

I've managed to solve this issue and thought I would post the answer in case anyone else faces the same problem. You need to go to system preferences, then energy saving, then switch off the graphics saver mode, then reboot and try the download again.
It worked perfectly for me once I'd done this, not sure if it's adobe assuming you do not have the required hardware.

CS4 Design Premium (Windows) installer files?

I purchased CS4 back in late 08, installed it on my then-laptop, and now I've got a new (Windows) laptop I want to install it on. When I looked for it in the case on my shelf, the box was empty! When I called Adobe today, they verified my license, but said they no longer have it available for download and I should ask "The Experts" in Forums if anyone has installer files I can download. It sounds crazy to me that Adobe just couldn't keep this somewhere for me to access, though I grant them that I'm the idiot who lost my media so what can I say. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Mylenium--Thanks for the link but it doesn't seem to be working for me. When I clickthru, I see CS4 links (file 1, 2, 3). When I click on File 1, I'm brought to Adobe's "Resume your Adobe Download" page, which says to sign in and resume the download (http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/dlm/). . I sign in, pick
TRIAL DOWNLOADS
Sign in and resume your trial downloa
and it takes me to http://www.adobe.com/downloads/ which as Mr. Adobe Support said, no longer offers CS4 Design Premium.
Any other ideas out there?

Hello, I own a license for Adobe CS5 Production Premium and Adobe CS4 Design Premium for Windows/PC. I am switching to an OSX/MAC system. Is it possible to transfer my licenses to the new platform?

It's possible to transfer licenses but it must be done by contacting a Customer Service representative by phone or web chat. They'll probably have you submit a form.

Adobe CS5.5 Production Premium Install Errors and Other Issues

Hi,
I just installed Adobe CS5.5 Production Premium on my computer and had some errors pop up at the end of installation. I will paste the summary below. I've tried to install Procction Premium a couple of times. I've used the Adobe Cleaner Tool. From what I've researched, the Flash Issue is a a false error since Flash was already installed on the computer. Is the rest of it connected to the Flash issue as well?
Thr programs all seem to work fine except for the issue below.
My other question is that when I am in Windows Explorer and I Right-Click on say a .jpg file and select Open With... I am not able to select Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator for that matter. I have Dreamweaver CS4 and that shows up as an option. I have gone through the process of trying to add the Adobe Photoshop .exe file, but it still doesn't work. However, if I open Adobe Bridge, I am able to select Photoshop or Illustrator to open a file. Is this connected to my install or is there something else going on? I did uninstall an ancient version of Adobe Photoshop 7.0 that I've had for years, but that was prior to installing Production Premium CS5. Could that have caused an issue? I read that uninstalling an old Photoshop can cause problems like this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, your installation errors appear to be the innocuous false errors related to the brain-dead Flash installer. If the programs seem to be working fine, don't worry about it. As far as not being able to open images with Photoshop from Windows Explorer, I recommend taking that question to the Photoshop forum.

Adobe CS5.5 Production Premium (32 bits)

Hi, I need to create a deployment for the Adobe CS5.5 Production Premium32 bits version. It would be install on Windows XP Pro SP3. So I first created the "Premiere Pro CS4 and After Effects CS4, 32-bit support for CS5" package. It install without any problem. Now I need to install the rest of the Adobe CS5.5 Production Premium. So without rebooting I launch the installation with the same command line that I use with the 64 bits version without any problem.
msiexec.exe /i "Adobe CS5.5 Production Premium.msi" /qn REBOOT=ReallySuppress ALLUSERS=1 ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT=1 ARPPRODUCTICON=ARPPRODUCTICON.exe DWUSINTERVAL=30 INSTALLLEVEL=100 DWUSLINK=CEEB8798AEBC90F8B9ACA7CFEEDC978FEE9BD78F598B90AFCE8BF7A8C91BA08FCE0C479FD9AC ARPURLINFOABOUT="http://www.adobe.com" SHOWLAUNCHPROGRAM=0 ARPCOMMENTS="This package is created by Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition" ARPNOMODIFY=1 INSTALLPH=1
The installation start and, after a few seconds, I get an MSI error 1603. Which is an unknown error. What am I missing here? Do I need to reboot the computer after the "Premiere Pro CS4 and After Effects CS4, 32-bit support for CS5" installation before trying the "CS5.5 Production Premium" installation? What are the correct steps for the 32 bits version? I read all the pdf about the CS5 version and couldn't find anything useful other than that I need to install the CS4 part first!
Thanks in advance for the help!

Problem solved
msiexec.exe /i "Adobe CS5.5 Production Premium.msi" /qn REBOOT=ReallySuppress
I still don't know exactly why. But as long as it works I don't care.
