Adobe Products CS, CS2 & CS3

Can anyone confirm that these products install and work properly. I really want to upgrade but it's not an option if these programs don't work.

Adobe just released a paper on this topic, it discusses their latest releases...
"Adobe Photoshop CS3, Flash CS3 Professional, Contribute CS3, Dreamweaver CS3, Fireworks CS3, Flash Player 9, GoLive 9, Illustrator CS3, InCopy CS3, InDesign CS3, Bridge CS3, Version Cue CS3, Device Central CS3 and Acrobat Connect (Start Meeting) are all compatible with Leopard.
Older versions of Adobe and Macromedia may work with Leopard, but the company warns there could be “installation, stability, and reliability issues for which there is no resolution.” Adobe said these products would not be updated for Leopard."
*Sure would like info on CS & CS2 Photoshop/Illustrator*

Illustrator CS2 in Adobe Productions Studio. What is going on here?

Hi:
Finally getting around to learning Illustrator CS2. Using Total Training. Immediate problem....supposedly if I hit "Browse New Extras" on the welcome screen its supposed to open up Bridge and take me directly to the folder. But this link is broken. When I hover over "Browse New Extras," I get a circle with a slash through, the international symbol for " this doesn't work." I can navigate to the folder myself using Browse which does open up Bridge, but it is disturbing that the welcome screen link isn't working....leads me to believe there is something wrong with the installation...
In "Color Settings," BEST WORKFLOW was not available. I had to go out and locate the file and install it by hitting "Load" on the Color Settings Menu. Seemed to load OK. But it says above it "Unsynchronized. Your Creative Suite applications are not synchronized for consistent color. To synchronize, select Suite Color Settings in Bridge." Well, I opened Bridge, and there is no setting for "Suite Color Settings." So I looked in the Bridge and nothing comes up for "Suite Color Settings." So I looked on-line (Google) and found an Adobe article and learned that I should be able to get to Suite Color Settings also by navigating to BRIDGE CENTER. Well I don't have that either, so I found another Adobe article that is entitled "Bridge Center is Missing from Adobe 1.0.X and thought, hmmm, mine is CS2. But I checked the version number and its 1.0.4.6 (this came with Production Studio CS2) so I went ahead and modified the AdobeESDGlobalApps.xml file like it says to do. Restarted Bridge and hit ctrl-alt-shift like it says to do but nothing happens....no Reset Setting dialogue box appears like the article says it should so I repeated Step 6 several times and cannot get anything to happen. So I went manually into Reset settings but there is still no option for Bridge Center.
So now I am totally stumped.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

I had a little success by changing the Color Options in Photoshop also to "Best Workflow." Now at least the Color Options in Illustrator and Photoshop both say "Synchronized." Opened BRIDGE and hit Ctrl-Alt-Shift and this time got a dialogue box. Checked "reset options" and closed. But still no "Bridge Center" is showing up in Bridge...

I am trying to reinstall Dreamweaver CS3 from the CD after having computer issues. Now getting error "You can only install one Adobe product at a time. Please complete the other installation before attempting to install ......." There is no other Adobe product installing. I have used the Adobe Cleaner Tool many times and uninstalled other Adobe Products but neither has worked. I have uninstalled/reinstalled this CD version of Dreamweaver several times when changing computers and after having computer issues. A google search of the problem suggested it may be an error related to the number of times I can reinstall this product due to licensing issues. Please help.

Absolutely not. You are misinterpreting things. The activation check never happens when just running the installer, only much later. It means what it says - there is another "install" pending/ active on your system, meaning somewhere there is an (invisible) process still blocking things. Either way, since you haven't provided any real technical info, we can't advise specifically. if you are on Windows, you may want to check your task manager and terminate any setup.exe and msiexec.exe processes plus potentially may need to manually fix/ delete some registry keys. For anything beyond that you will have to be much more specific.

Flash CS3 / Adobe products: crashes or acting erraticly

HI -
I recently posted a thread conserning Flash CS3 deleting the
contents or erroring out my built and working .fla's and .swf's
apon opeing them to edit the .fla's.
Suspected a virus - scanned etc etc.
an Avast boot scan showed a corrupt cab archive avast error
#42127 on a boot scan for a DW20.exe adn 4 or 5 other cab
archives... thes are all related to Visual Basic C# - the DW20 .exe
is for error reporting to MS about crashes. - thsi may be an "avast
error" - but no viruses detected.
I checking my WinXP error logs for a further clue they showed
at the time of Flash CS3 crashing when trying to preview - it was
due to FFMpeg.exe
is this something that flash implements in importing a video
file or perhaps a mpeg?
When these crashes started, i was attempting to import a .wmv
(- which btw - i thought past flash 8 there was no problems with -
it now asks for Direct Show to be installed or Quicktime.?? Maybe
someone can give an answer to this as well My understanding was
that past Flash 8 - this was no longer nessasary - if this is true
- any thoughts as to why CS3 is asking me to install these products
to import or encode a wmv file?
Back to topic: Since attempting to bring in the wmv video
and/or mpeg audio and/or the flv i was experimentiing with
- Flash not only crashes on me when attempting to open any
.fla now.
- but also destroys or corrupts all other .fla's and .swf's
in the same file folder as the one i'm working on.
My questiion is - since ffmeg is not a win exe - is this
something that Flash implements in it's importing of a video or
audio file? or at all.
I have 12 error event crashes listed from Flash - all list
the same:
" faulty application ffmeg.exe
- faulty module: ffmeg.exe
- fault address 0x001be5e3
- event id:1000
anyone have knowledge on how to fix this or what may cause
this -
I mentioned the cab errors because i'mm not sure if one is
related to the other - i had C# installed but removed it from the
comp.
as mentioned in my other post related to this - Photoshop
Lightbox is also acting complety crazy as well - all adobe products
are the ones seemly - that i know of or noticed thus far - the only
products acting up.
I need this issue fixed - as i have to finish my fla! lol
I'd much rather be doing that than trouble shooting crashes
from Flash or other Adobe products acting up.
Any help would really be appriciated since this goes beyond
my skills and knowledge.
thanx

Sure wish I had a quick fix, but it will take more info than
what you have entered. I was having a lot of trouble also, until I
did the 5 tasks listed below.
1. Is there enough memory for Flash CS3? Setup tells you how
much and if you have enough to install the program.
2. Is there enough storage space for Flash CS3? Again, Setup
tells you how much it needs and if ;you have enough to install the
program.
3. How many files do you have on your hard disk? The amount
of directories and files on your hard disk matters a great deal
when you are installing new programs. I usually go through my c:\
directory and get rid of programs I don't use. I try to keep my
folders and files at the lowest I can get away with.
4. When was the last time you cleaned and defragged the
registry?
This matters a great deal too. If you have an overabundance
of empty registry keys, etc. it can hang up your computer too. I
use RegCure, it's a great program.
5. When was the last time you did a defrag on C:\? Many
people don't realize that just these 5 tasks can have a bad effect
on your hard drive.
It would be a great thing if you uninstall Flash CS3, do
tasks 1-5 and then reinstall Flash CS3. Seems like a lot of work,
but it is extremely important to keep your computer running at its
best.
hope this helps.

Adobe Production Premium CS3 does not support MXF files

My computer crashed the other day and I had to install Adobe Production Premium CS3 on another computer. I noticed when I tried to start a new project there was not an option under Presets for DVCPROHD and when I tried to import my files with Bridge I get an error message stating "File Format Not Supported". What can I do to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Shaun

Here's what one guy wrote in another forum;
>"ON THE SONY 6 foot plasma - the HVX200a stood out with apparently nicer colors, a more filmic look in general with it's 24p motion characteristics that have made it famous, and no artifacting that I could see. Again this was on the 6 foot Sony plasma. The EX1, while looking stunningly sharper than the hvx200a at first glance, is a mess of a camera with all sorts of issues that I really don't understand how anyone deals with. Perhaps I am a complete nut job or I had a broken EX1. I thought people were being overbearing and overexagerated with the rolling shutter, long GOP, and jellovision stories that I have read online, but it really is a serious problem. Now at first glance - on slow cuts and pans - the EX1 image seems to slam dunk the HVX except for some strange look of resolution loss or detail loss that appears to happen right after you start moving the camera for the pan - but the EX1 is so sharp that when it losses its detail (perhaps the codec lowering detail to avoid artifacts...although that of itself IS an artifact) it looks more similar to the HVX200a footage, but on fast whips and very fast handheld stuff I saw all sorts of issues and weird skews and slants that there is no way I could deal with. Philip Bloom may have some amazing images but they are all locked down and I don't do locked all the time down so this camera is out."

Need to Uninstall CS, CS2, CS3, CS4 - Uninstall Tool Missing

We've been with Adobe for a long time.
We're upgrading computers and Mac OS on all to Mavericks.
Would like to clean up in the process.
Would like to thoroughly UNINSTALL all CS, CS2, CS3, and CS4 products on all computers.
We are currently using CS5. And, after installing Mavericks, will install CS6 Design Standard.
Most threads point to using the UNINSTALL TOOL ... but no one seems to have a link to where to get it?
It is not in the folders that everyone says it should be. I do not have it.
I hesitate to just DRAG the folders to the trash. I'd prefer a tool that will UNINSTALL proper plists, etc. ... not just trash the AP folder.
Anyone?

I have already been there.
1. In my Adobe Installers folder, there are only alias' folders for "Add or Remove Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium", for "Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium", for "Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium" and for "Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit 2.1". When I "Show Original" and go there and try to OPEN the folder to run the uninstaller ... nothing opens. When I search for "Adobe Uninstaller", nothing is found.
2. I have downloaded and run the Cleaner Tool for CS3 and 4 ... but it was very very fast (didn't see a progress bar while it was working as expected) and CS3 and 4 are still in my applications folder. There was a message on one of them something about "support file missing".
So, this doesn't seem to have worked ... again.
In our office, we used to "trickle down" computers. The person with the oldest computer gets the new on and his goes to someone else. The problem with this has been that the person giving away the computer has been required to "clean it up" before passing it on and people haven't known HOW to do this. Thus, the missing uninstallers, etc.
So ... I want to delete (thoroughly) CS, CS2, CS3 and CS4, including Bridge, Device Central, Extension Manager, Drive, Fireworks, Flash, Media Encoder, Stock Photos, Version Cue, SupportAdvisor ap.
Can I simply "drag to trash"? I suspect not. But unistallers don't seem to be present and cleaner tool doesn't seem to work.
Are the instructions for "manual" removal of all files?
Thank you.

Tablet PC calibration error in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator CS3 whilst in Extended Desktop Mode

Hey everyone!
I've run into a snag which hasn't bugged me before because I never used a second monitor, but now that I do, Photoshop and Illustrator don't function properly.
I am running my Adobe products on my Lenovo X61 Thinkpad Tablet, which is Wacom PenEnabled. It's got the basic digitizer pen and pen pressure features, no stylus tilt or anything.
Whenever I run Photoshop or Illustrator in Extended Desktop Mode so I can have a different window open on my external monitor and the Adobe app on my tablet screen, my stylus goes strange. It seems to think that the extended desktop is part of the Adobe window, so when I move my stylus to draw, the cursor will appear on the external monitor, usually proportionate to the size of the screen...ie. It interprets the external and tablet screens as one desktop and the top left corner of my tablet screen is the top left of my external, whilst the bottom right on tablet IS the bottom right on tablet, if that makes any sense...sorry.
So I can't draw anything in photosho unless I set it back to standard desktop mode, or mirrored desktop. I've searched over the net and these forums and I can't find a fix for this. I was walking in harvey norman the other day and the Wacom Cintiq 12" was there on display, and it had the same issue with extended desktop and photoshop.
Has anyone had this issue before and/or does anyone know of a fix for it? I'll keep searching around and playing with the computer until I fix it and I'll post any solutions I find here if noone else has one.
My system details are:
Abobe Photoshop CS3 10.0.0
Adobe Illustrator CS3 13.0.0
OS: Windows Vista Build 6001, Service Pack 1, 32bit
RAM: 2GB
HD: 18.2GB free Disk Space (out of 66.3GB on the Active Partition)
Video: Intel GMA: Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family

I'm using an HP tx2011au tablet pc, using adobe flash cs3 and have the exact same problem. it becomes decalibrated only while the flash window is open, and only while flash has a file open, and only when using an extended desktop. even if flash is open and it has no files open it works fine.

Manage multiple versions(ID CS,CS2,CS3,CS4) of INDD files Indesign proxy for PC

Dear scripters,
I have multiple version of ID installed in my system. I have ID CS,CS2,CS3 and CS4. While I am opening (double click) the ID CS file, automatically the file opening in CS4. For solving this problem I have searched in the forums I found there is a program called INDESIGN PROXY for MAC OSX. It manages the problems well.
Now I am in the process of developing the application same like that for windows using VB. Here is my observation about Indesign proxy.
1. While user double clicks the Indesign file the argument is not passing to the Indesign.exe, but the argument passes to the Indesign proxy. Something like this
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS4\InDesign.exe" "%1"
to this
"C:\Program Files\IDproxy\proxy.exe" "%1"
2. The proxy exe lists all the version of IDs in a dialog box. If user selects CS2, the proxy exe passes the command argument something like this
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS2\InDesign.exe" "%1"
3. Now the file will open in correct version.
I am comfort with VB forums and coding but I am struck getting the file path while user double click's the file. I short need to get the file path of "%1" argument.
I think I am detailed.
Kindly advice me how can I proceed more?
Thanks

I don't think it's a mistake.
"InDesign CS4 (3.0)"
means: this is the OM for InDesign 3.0 (i.e., InDesign CS) that is contained in InDesign CS4.
Wait -- do you mean there might be a difference between "the OM for InDesign 4.0 (i.e., InDesign CS2) that is contained in InDesign CS4" and, say, "OM for InDesign 4.0 (i.e., InDesign CS2) that is contained in InDesign CS5" ?
Why on earth would anyone need that? I imagine it's not because even with versioning the 'older' scripts may not behave the same -- there must be dozens of mails about versioning not working ... I mean, if Adobe knows what causes older scripts to stop working (because, if I understand you correctly, they retroactively change it in the documentation for older versions), wouldn't it be yet easier to not cause those changes?

MacBook Pro and Adobe CS and CS2

Hello fellow Mac Lovers...I am in desperate need of your help!
I am a graphic designer and I am really wanting to switch over to a Mac. However, I can only afford a MacBook Pro right now plus I need the convenience. Now here is my dilemma: I was told by an Apple representative that the MacBook Pro cannot support Adobe products (which is what I use & would need primarily in my Mac) but I was told by a CompUSA representative that they can. So I'm confused.
Does anyone here have a MacBook Pro and use Adobe software such as Photoshop and Illustrator on it? If not, does anyone know if the MacBook Pro can support Adobe CS2 software?
This may seem like a dumb question but I really need your help, if I can't use Adobe CS or CS2 on my MacBook then I will not be able to buy it!
Thank you!

I use both Photoshop and Illustrator, CS versions, on my MBP in my work, although I’m not a graphic designer. Compared to my Windows PC, I notice that it takes longer to start the program on the MBP by four seconds (I tested just for you), but on successive startups, the MBP beats the PC by that same four seconds, go figure.
Working with large files, I don’t actually perceive much difference, but to me Adobe software has never been “snappy.” I’m also not an expert with Photoshop and Illustrator, and don’t do anything really intensive (except for personal stuff)---but the files clients send are sometimes huge, and the MBP seems to handle it just fine. I suspect that for you it might seem slower, but that’s just a guess. When Adobe upgrades their software to universal binary in the next year, it should be quite fast.

I bought the photoshop cs2 cs3 cs5 and lightroom and lightroom 4. i can't install on may new macbookpro 13inch?

i bought the photoshop cs2 cs3 cs5 and lightroom and lightroom 4. i can't install on may new macbookpro 13inch?

On which operating system are you trying to install these Adobe apps?
Please specify the operating system name and version.
If you have purchased new Macbook Pro, then you should have atleast Mac OSX 10.9 or later. However, i doubt you will be able to install most of these apps on it as they are pretty old apps except CS5 & Lr4.
Still you can give it a shot and check.
What happens when you try to install them?
Do you get any error message? An error screenshot or full text of the error, should be helpful.

Adobe products (Dreamweaver CS 3 and CS4) and FTP failures in Snow Leopard

Hi all, this is a bit of a cross post, sorry, but I wanted to be a bit more precise about the nature of a problem many folks are voicing. That is, Dreamweaver and Adobe products are trouble it seems, particularly around the FTP function (there are other issues too). Yet it does not affect machines universally.
For instance, initially after the Snow Leopard update CS3 (Dreamwearver) worked fine, the for me poof the FTP client in Dreamweaver failed with the ubiquitous Permissions error.
On line forums suggest:
1) recreating all Dreamweaver accounts with ==> various reports of success.
2) Using a direct IP address to the server in question....==> also mixed results.
3) Reinstall CSx--==> not a fix.
So for those of us tearing hair out over the problem, Adobe itself has been no help, anyone find a patch or have an untried idea?
thanks.

See if this helps:

Integration of other Adobe products..Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, Encore DVD

Prior to obtaining CS2 I have been working with the other video/audio Adobe tools; Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, Encore DVD.
I fully expected to see integration of these products into the Bridge application after CS2 installation. I was disappointed, there does not appear to be any such integration. I do hope that this is in plan, and that I don't have to spend an "upgrade" fee to use integration that should have been there to begin with.
Even if there is no further integration, it would be nice to be able to continue using the Bridge as my "file manager" in the event I have to transfer my CS2 activation to another computer; after all I still have 4 licensed Adobe products installed on the machine, even if there not, quote, CS2 applications.

I can't use Bridge with my video products anymore. I have 3 systems in my personal development environment. I am now past the 30 day period before activation of CS2 is required on my video editing machine. Now I am no longer able to use Adobe Bridge with my other Adobe (video) products.
Also, now I've noticed that the next level of video products is available, they now have Bridge integrated. As I anticipated in my first append, I cannot continue using Bridge with my Adobe video products unless I spend more money for an upgrade. If the intention is to have Bridge become an integral tool in the creative process, this policy is short sighted. It can't be that difficult to bring out an update for the CS2 level of bridge that would enable it to work with users that have AE 6.5 or PPro 1.5 installed.
