Adobe Help: Creative Suite 5 always out-of-date?

Every time I open Adobe Help from any application, I get a message to update the content. This can be several times a day. I agree. I does and expands it. But in the local content listing, "Creative Suite 5" will list as "May 02, 2010" version, "out-of-date". I delete it (both on the Adobe Help app and on the finder), update it, to no avail. Next time I open the Adobe Help app it will prompt me to update the out-of-date local content. For a few days this was combined with a Flash CS5 help homepage error message, that has now disappeared and only the out-of-date local content issue remains... any ideas?

No, it's not that. When I go to the list under "Preferences/Local Content" all other files are "Current". And I can see that it is the only files that updates (it gets a blue update progress bar). Upon completion, it expands and again, posts as "May 02, 2010 out-of-date". Nothing else updates. If I close and reopen Adobe Help, this file will again be updated, repeating the same cycle...

  • Invalid Serial number for Adobe CS5 Creative Suite Master Collection

    I bought a macbook pro off of Kijiji the other year and it came with the Adobe CS5 Creative Suite Master Collection. Just the other month I upgraded my system to OS X Yosemite and now every time I try to open my products, it asks for the serial number which, when entered is said to be invalid. Also, I don't have much information about the Adobe Products because the guy I bought it from didn't send the information with my computer. Can anybody help!

    Hi there,
    Thanks for the additional information.
    Please utilize any available Adobe uninstallers in the Programs and Features control panel.  Once you have removed all Adobe software you can use the CC Cleaner Tool to help ensure complete removal.  You can find details here- http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
    Once you have completely removed all Adobe software and have run the CC Cleaner Tool you can then try reinstalling.  If you need a fresh copy of the installation files the retail installers can be found at Download CS3 products.
    Please let me know if this helps,

  • Spaces and Adobe CS3 (Creative Suite 3)

    I've noticed a strange flaw with Spaces and Adobe Creative Suite 3.
    I initially set up a space for InDesign CS3. Then, because I needed to test something, I attempted to set up a separate space for InDesign CS2. The Spaces Preference Pane won't allow this!
    It appears as though the creator codes (or whatever) are identical for CS2 applications and CS3 applications. If you have both installed on your Mac, the system only sees the latest version-CS3. If you have a CS3 application assigned to a particular space and then try to add the corresponding CS2 program, nothing will change. If you delete the CS3 Spaces assignment and then try adding the CS2 application, it will simply add the CS3 version again.
    My question? Has anyone found a way to get CS2 and CS3 programs to live together in the Spaces Preference Pane simultaneously?

  • How do I uninstall Adobe CS6 Creative Suite

    I have the Adobe CS6 Creative Suite installed and recently received CC. For the sake of harddrive space, I would like to uninstall the old CS6 programs and keep the CC versions. However, I cannot find the uninstall program for either the suite itself or any of the programs (Photoshop, etc.). What is the process of uninstalling the CS6 components?

    Please use the Cleaner tool to uninstall :

  • Any truth to this, "Adobe Discontinues Creative Suite"?

    http://blog.softwaremedia.com/2013/03/breaking-news-adobe-discontinues-creative-suite/
    Hi guys, the above link points to a website declaring that Adobe is no longer going to sell the Creative Suite, but only sell the Cloud version from April 30th?
    Anyone know anything about this?
    Regards
    Eugene

    Hi Eugene,
    The headline is definitely not true – and no, Adobe is not stopping sales of the Creative Suite... 
    Here is what is true, precisely:
    Adobe to Discontinue Boxed Versions of Creative Suite (CS6) Software
    Hope that helps clear it up!

  • Adobe CS4 Creative Suite Web Edition and Flash CS5 Crashing Problems

    Hi, just a simple question;
    I have a Windows XP Pro x64 & x86 Machine which both have Adobe Creative Suite CS4 and Adobe Flash CS5 installed onto.
    The problem i have is that when i install Flash CS5 onto the machine which already has Adobe Creative Suite CS4 is breaks basically, Flash CS5 keeps crashing, even if just creating something simple like a box with colour in it.
    I have installed every update available for both products and this still does not rectify the problem.  Ive read numerous articles about fonts, hotfixes, updates etc etc etc.
    None of the forums has an asnwer to this.  I would post an error report but as the machines crash im unable to gather this information.
    This is a big problem for us as we use this in industry and we need to resolve this asap, no point paying for products if they cant work together, my theory is something to do with shared libraries which both products use, i could be wrong, but this is what im left to think is wrong.
    Has anyone else had this same problem, if so, whats the answer to rectify this.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Sorry for the lack of information provided, i would post more but cant gather extra information whats causing this.

    I'm using CS3/CS4/CS5 and a standalone After effects CS5.5 here side by side without issues  - on Vista 64. Can't tell you much specific about Flash, though, since I use it too rarely. Bridge may have a temper, but most of these "issues" relate to Mini-Bridge in Photoshop CS5, which nobody forces you to use and people being unhappy with thinbgs like contact sheets or PDF catalogs having moved to Bridge ratehr than still being PS scripts. So from where I stand, these are non-issues. Of course you'll have to live with the fact that things like browsing in Bridge or editing originals are always wired in such a way as to use the latest version of a suite, which might cause compatibility issues when e.g. trying to invoke Bridge in CS4 to browse something, which will then launch Bridge CS5. None of this is unresolvable, though, and mostly requires editing Bridge prefs and your system's fiel association handling... With regards to your otehr issues, I realyl recommend you give Process Explorer a spin. if this happens even on fresh system installs, the most likely cause is some missing DLL, which you also can only find out this way. A blindfire approach to this problem would be to simply install any .NET and MSVC runtime you can get a hold of and similar stuff, but this might only add unnecessary files and still miss the one that you would need...

  • Installing Adobe CS Creative Suite 4

    Hello
    If someone could help me before i scream the place down I would really appreciate it!!
    I have adobe creative suite 4 master collection that i would like to install on my macbook. The problem I have is that the instructions with it are not good and I also have no idea with this kind of thing (hangs head in shame)! There are 5 discs and on the first it indicates that when you put the disc in it will automatically start installing. However, it does not do this and I have no idea how to make it install. I have had no problem downloading programmes from online etc such as itunes updates.
    I have tried looking at the files on each disk but I have no idea what file means what. In the end, I copied every single file from all the disks into a folder I set up on my desktop. I then wondered it I could install from here onto my machine. But how, which files do I click, nothing says install and whatever I click on no installations starts.
    Please help. Sorry for the ramble, as you can probably tell i am useless and totally frustrated!
    Thanks
    L

    In the end, I copied every single file from all the disks into a folder I set up on my desktop.
    That won't work. Everything is in multiple .dmg files and needs to be installed by the installation program.
    On the first disk, there should be a folder named CS4 Master Suite Collection, or something similar. Open that and there should be an item named Install. Double click that to start the installation.
