Adobe leaves me hanging

I am still using Photshop CS3. I haven't found the need to upgrade since it works fine for my needs. However, it no longer works. This is the message I get: "Licensing for this product has stopped working" unistall and reinstall product, contact Adobe customer support for help.
Problem is, customer support doesn't exist when your product is this old, so I am stuck. I have the CS2 disk and did an online upgrade to CS3, all of which appear in my Adobe account.
I'm not sure how to unistall CS3 and then if I reinstall CS2 will it even work on my OS 10.7.5 system, and if it does how to I upgrade back to CS3?

You shouldn’t need to re-install CS2, just have the serial-number handy when you install CS3, so you can type both in—I assume this is how things worked back then, anyway.
If uninstalling and re-installing doesn’t fix licensing, perhaps you’d need to run the CSCleaner script before re-installing:

HT204053 iCloud says my Apple ID is valid but it is not an iCloud account. I find how to link on Apple services but it seems to leave me hanging. How do I actually link the 2 accounts? On a Windows 8 PC?

iClound Control Panel says my Apple ID is valid but it is not an iCloud account. How do I link the 2 accounts on a Windows 8 PC with iTunes 11. I go to Apple services and it gives some instructions; but they leave me hanging. They tell me to put in the same user name and then just stop. Doesn't say what to do next. I did what it said and the 2 accounts are still not linked. Anyone know how to assist? Thank you.

Apple isn't trying to be anti-PC with this; they support PCs going all the way back to Vista SP2, a 3-generation old version of Windows. To sync iCloud with a Mac you have to be running one of the last 2 versions of the OS X operating system (i.e., a newer version than you do on Windows). I assume it's set up this way because it's a service provided customers purchasing Apple devices that utilize iCloud syncing services, and if you happen to also you own a PC, it will sync with that as well. It wouldn't make sense for them to provide this service, including a free 5GB iCloud account, hosting for backups, syncing services, free photo stream, etc. for non-Apple customers (who, for example, may only own a PC).
If you have a friend with one of these devices who is willing to let you create the account on their device, you could then use it on your PC. They would have to delete the existing account from their device in Settings>iCloud, then let you sign in with your ID to create a new account, then delete this account from their device and sign back into their own account. You could then use this ID to sign into the newly created account on your PC. Note: each device can only create 3 iCloud accounts, so you would be using one of their 3 alotted accounts, but they may be willing to do this for you.
iCloud is really designed to keep your data in sync across multiple devices that you may own, and with your computer. It will also automatically back up your device, stream photos taken on one device to all your other devices, and allow you to locate a misplaced device using Find My iPhone. It doesn't, however, sync music if that's what you're looking for.
If you want to be able to access your music from iCloud you don't need an iCloud account for this. As mentioned earlier, music purchased from the iTunes store is already available in iCloud. Music from other sources, such as in your case, can only be accessed from iCloud if you subscribe to iTunes Match (see http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/). If you do, you can then upload your iTunes library (up to 25,000 songs) to iCloud an access them from an iOS device via iCloud, even without an iCloud account. Music purchased from other sources that is copy protected (contains DRM) is not eligible and will not be uploaded to iCloud so be sure your music purchased from Amazon doesn't contain DRM before subscribing.

Adobe Bridge CS4 Hangs and whole system goes down.

Adobe Bridge CS4 Hangs and whole system goes down.
This is happening when I just finished edition RAW files in ACR and hit DONE, right after that a Bridge hangs, Cannot open Explorer, PC functions are down, cannot start anything, cannot stop Bridge process, cannot properly restart. Only holding power button shuts donw PC forcefylly.
I happens once per 10 edits of RAW files and super annoying.
Pleeeeease help!

No wonder I think this is Bridge.
That is indeed a tempting thought, have you already tried the refresh preferences for Bridge using ctrl key pressed down while restarting Bridge?
But Bridge is very critical in reacting on odd system behavior, so also keep the advice of Station-Two in mind. On a Mac repairing permissions often solves problems, don't know the PC equivalent of this.

Adobe Media Encoder hanging

Premiere Pro CS4
File > Export > Youtube SD > 640x480
Media on C drive > encoding to C drive
After 3 mins, adobe media encoder hangs, elapsed queue time does not move, elapsed time does not move, estimated remaining does not move.
I only have 2 titles in video, no video transitions, and an mp3 audio file i added in.
what should i try?

Jim,
I did a quick small project and it did not hang.
Ever since I overlayed the audio track with my MP3 audio it has been causing issues.
The estimateed remaining time starts at 38:00 then quickly goes down to 13:06 or so, and then it hangs. In the task manager, the processes are still running and under performance PF Usage is 3.38 GB (probably all of the RAM), and CPU at 0%.
I'm gonna let it run for a few hours to see if it moves at all. then if that doesn't work remove the audio and see if that works.
Update:1 hour no movement.

Having issues with Adobe Flash player hanging the browser

Having issues with Adobe Flash player hanging the browser.
WIN 7 enterprise 32 bit / Firefox 19.0.2 /
Internal company website keeps giving attached screen shot error, and hangs the browser when error pops up.
Steps taken:
Uninstalled Adobe Flash player with the file “uninstall_flash_player.exe”
Deleted provided directory in instructions
"Copy and paste the following and click OK.
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
Delete all the files in this folder."
Rebooted PC and reinstalled the flash player directly from “http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html”
Re launched company website and received same error.
Repeated above steps as well as uninstalled Firefox browser. Even went so far as to remove all profile information to start fresh from all profiles on the laptop with the same results.
Note: The web page will work without the flash player plugin, and my page doesn’t hang the browser. Required to open page in FireFox per company policy.

I'm sorry you're encountering this. Could you paste a few of the most recent report ID links displayed when you go to "about:crashes" in the Firefox address bar?
As for workarounds, the first thing I'd suggest is trying our 11.7 labs release which you can get here: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer.html
If that doesn't help, please try the troubleshooting steps outlined in this FAQ:
How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
In particular, I'd recommend temporarily disabling protected mode (for troubleshooting purposes only) to see if that addresses the issue.
Thanks,
Chris

Adobe Reader XI Hanging

My Adoeb Reader XI program hangs, stops working & freezes the whole computer...
Why is this..? I have uninstalled & reinstalled XI

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the email response to my request for "Help"...
Windows 7 & Adobe Reader XI
I have Trojan Killer & MS Essentials running. I have asked Trojan Killer to
ensure Adobe is
a Safe file & I also went into the settings of MS Essentials & went into the
Compatibility area
& selected the Operating system Windows 2007 box. I have been out all day &
have just returned
to the office. I will try a PDF when I am about to leave for the day & see
what happens.
Do you have any suggestions as I have already deleted the program &
reinstalled it prior.

Adobe Application Manager hangs on installation, can't download any CC

I just upgraded from CS 5.5 to Creative Cloud (I'm running OSX 10.6.8). When I try to download the programs from the "apps" page of creative.adobe.com, the download manager opens and then hangs on the "updating Adobe Application Manager" screen for several minutes before saying "The remote server is not responding in a proper manner. Please retry after a few minutes." I contacted support (case number 0184298932) and they suggested using the Adobe Cleaner app to delete the App Manager, then download the App Manager from the general Adobe download page. The App manager opens but says it can't connect to the servers. Support also said to create a new admin account and retry the process. That had no effect.
I followed Robert L. Brown's advice in this forum post http://forums.adobe.com/message/4399026#4399026 and was able to actually launch the application manager and download Indesign and After Effects. I tried to download Photoshop, got an error, quit the installer, and when I tried to reopen it I was back to my original problem.
I have seen other posts in the forum saying to download the trial versions of CS6 and then authenticate with my adobe ID, but I can't find a download link for anything that's not Creative Cloud. There are no CS6 trials to be had anywhere.

For anyone else with a similar issue, it turns out that the company firewall was blocking the download. I just connected the computer to a different network and now the download is working like a charm. Fingers crossed that it works when I fire up the program!

Adobe Reader XI hangs Internet Explorer!

We support several clients and as each PC upgrades to Adobe Reader XI it breaks the IE Add-On (view in browser) capability.
The pdf starts to download, pops up in the browser, and then in about 5-10 seconds hangs until it times out (45 minutes later).
IE then throws up the error "A network error occurred while accessing this document on the Internet. Would you like to close the document or reload it?"
If the user downloads the pdf it works; if the user uses Chrome or FF it works! Have tried disabling the "Fast View". It just then allows me to see when it stops downloading.
I have tried Windows XP, Win7 & Win8 and different versions of IE and they all fail!
I am seeing this across all my clients!
Sometimes, if I disable the Add-on it will then download and open it in Adobe Reader but sometimes (haven't figured out the exact combination but IE9 & Win 7 fails) even though it's disabled, it still opens it in the browser and hangs.
I created a GPO that disables the Add-n but it continues to try to open it in the IE browser.
Help!

We've been testing this some more, and we've discovered our problem. We have a Xerox global print driver installed on our computers that runs our printer.
If we take a file created in the Microsoft Suite, whether Word or Excel, and print to PDF through the print driver, and then upload that file to a website and provide a link in a page for people to click, the PDF throws an error in Internet Explorer, giving the error listed above, and fails to open. The PDF opens fine locally through Internet Explorer, and you can view the file through the "View" option in Gmail. You can also view that file in Firefox and Chrome with no problem. And the file downloads just fine.
If we take the same file and use the "Save As" option in the Microsoft program to save the file as a PDF and upload that to a website, the file opens just fine in Internet Explorer, as well we everywhere else.
The print driver is doing something in the PDF-making process that bothers Internet Explorer.

Adobe media encoder hangs using macbook pro yosemitie & CS6

i cannot crunch a premiere pro project using adobe media encoder....the media encoder starts crunching normally but hangs at random ....
i get the following clue in the activity monitor....PProheadless (not responding)
also unable to create ISO image file using Encore CS6
thanks

I know OSX 10.9 Mavericks introduced a power saving feature called App Nap which is meant to slow down applications that it determins are inactive (could also happen with minimized applications). This would mostly likely be the problem if your issue only happens in OSX 10.9... but if it happens in OSX 10.8 then it I'm puzzled.
Did you check the Console for any error messages?
Anyways, try disabling App Nap for AME first...
Go to your Applications folder
Expand the Adobe Media Encoder CC folder
Right-click on "Adobe Media Encoder CC.app" and select Get Info
Add a checkmark beside "Prevent App Nap"
Restart the application
You could also do the same for other Adobe applications.

After Acrobat 9.4.3 update, Adobe PDF printer hangs

I just updated to Adobe 9.4.3 and tried to print to the PDF printer. The process hangs with about 4 bars on the progress bar. Nothing prints and the original document is also locked up. I've had to close Firefox using Task Manager. MS Office documents provide a program recovery box allowing me to End Now. What on earth is going on now?

I repaired the installation and that seems to have fixed the problem. Thank goodness.

Adobe Reader XI hangs on "receiving data" after submitting to php

I am submitting PDF fillable form to php, then pdf is save & email to destination. It works, I receive the pdf filled file via email; However, in Safari works perfect redirects, etc. When using FireFox, Chrome, then Adobe Reader opens.
Then when submitting from Adobe Reader, it works fine, I receive the email with attachment.
The problem is that Adobe Reader hangs "receiving data" for a long time, then I get this message "An error occurred during the submit process. The network service you are trying to reach could not process the request."
I do get the file via email and it is fine. What is Adobe Reader waiting for?.
Thanks in advance

Javascript printing causes Adobe 9 to hang

Hi,
I have a J2EE App that fills out a form for the user, then opens the pdf and uses JavaScript to print the pdf.
I have noticed that when I try and open the PDF(and javascript tries to print) AcroRd32.exe starts to use 100% CPU.
It doesnt even print!
Is anybody else running into this problem?
Tristan

I added the folder that my app downloads the PDF's to the priviliged folder list.
This seems to clear up almost all of my issues.
The one remaining issue is that if i try and open up multiple pdf's (all printing automatically) at the same time there are a certain few that will hang. It is always the same pdf's that will hang, and doesn't seem to matter how many working pdf's are opened before that one.
ie if 1,2 work and 3 doesnt.
opening each seperatley will work.
opening 1 and 2 will work.
oepning 1 and/or 2 then 3 will cause 1 and 2 to work while 3 hangs.
If 1 or 2 is open then i open 3 it will hang.
And just for fun this occurs in Windows XP SP2 but not Vista (rtm or sp1) It also does not occur in adobe reader 8.x in both xp and vista.
Any ideas on what could cause this?
