Advice for a PC configuration upgrade for Adobe Creative Cloud, please?
Hi everyone,
For the moment I have an old PC (bought in April 2008) and maybe if you eventually help me I could have a more powerful machine. I am asking you five questions at then end of this post, so if someone can reply it would help me and be greatful.

October 26th, 2012 Microsoft told me with "Microsoft Update Advisor" that I could upgraded my OS from Windows 7 Pro 64 bits to Windows 8 Pro 64 bits and after one year with another "Microsoft Upgrade Advisor" Microsoft told me again to upgrade my OS from Windows 8 Pro 64 bits to Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bits, but Gigabyte does not give the drivers on their website for my motherboard neither for Windows 8 and neither for Windows 8.1 and the system is however liable.
If I believe Gigabyte I need to purchase a new motherboard and probably a new CPU and new RAM.
1) Do you agree with Gigabyte or with Microsoft?
2) If we believe Gigabyte, so can you tell me what king of CPU and motherboard to choose for video editing and video encoding, please?
In the past, I had followed Adobe advices to use a Nvidia Quadro 2000 video card and HDDs in RAID 0 for video editing and video encoding.
Moreover, Microsoft recommends to use a SSD for Windows 8.1.
3) So, do you think I really need a SSD, with which capacity (256 or 512 GB ?) and which brand?
4) A SSD for the OS and software and HDDs in RAID 0 for video editing?
I edit HD (1600 x 1080 pixels) and I plan a budget between 450 and 650 $ for upgrading my PC.
Maybe I can only buy one new motherboard for 200 $, keeping my CPU and my RAM and buy a SSD 480 GB for 333 $ (total 200 + 333 = 533 $).
5) Do you agree with me for buying just only a motherboard and a SSD ?
Thank you in advance if someone can help me.
Otherwise my configuration seems to comply with http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/tech-specs.html I have only a doubt for the sound.
Best regards

Hello Isidore,
I can answer questions 3 and 4, as I have that sort of setup.
3.) No, you don't really need an SSD, but I would certainly recommend that you buy one. You'll notice a huge difference in the amount of time it takes to boot. I bought the OCZ Vertex 3 (120GB) a while back, and it's very fast. Whether or not you should get one just depends on whether the speed is worth it to you, but if I were you, I would.
As for the size, that depends on exactly what you'll use it for. See number 4 below.
4.) Yes, that's my setup. The SSD is my primary drive, and my HDD is for everything else. Here's basically how I have everything setup:
When I finish a day of shooting, I copy all my footage into a special folder (I named it "IMPORT" since I use it often) on my SSD. I do this because the clips load much faster in Prelude and Premiere Pro. Then, after I finish and export the project, I move all the original files onto my HDD. I would still do this even I had a larger SSD, because it's always good to keep your primary drives clean.
I also set the render and cache directories to those that I create on my HDD, because for longer projects, my SSD would fill up quickly, so that's why you may want to consider buying a larger SSD (even though 128GB would probably work just fine).
I hope this helped a little!
~Josh

Microsoft told me with Microsoft Update Advisor that I could upgraded from Windows 7 Pro 64 bits to Windows 8 Pro 64 bits and after one year with another Microsoft Upgrade Advisor from Windows 8 Pro 64 bits to Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bits. But Gigabyte does not give the drivers on their website for this motherboard that support Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.
I think I should purchase a new motherboard, a new CPU and new RAM. Do you agree? If yes, so can you tell me what king of CPU and motherboard to choose for Creative Cloud, please? I had followed Adobe advices to use a Nvidia Quadro 2000 graphic card and HDDs in RAID 0 for editing video.
Moreover Microsoft recommend to use a SSD for Windows 8.1. So, do I really need a SSD, with which capacity and which brand?
Thank you if someone can help me.

Upgrade to Adobe Creative Cloud
Hi
I have an Adobe Business Catalyst account. But i want to upgrade it to an Adobe Cloud. How can i do that?
Thanks
SHi
Please check this document : http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2153. You do not need to do anything, just use your Business Catalyst Adobe ID to purchase Creative Cloud, and your two accounts will be linked.
The 5 free Web Basics subscriptions you get with Creative Cloud can be redeemed only for new Web Basics sites, not for live sites.

InDesign file with layers to the Adobe Creative Cloud?
Is it possible for me to upload an InDesign file with layers to the Adobe Creative Cloud please?
Hello, Yes you can upload a Indesign CC file with layers and download the same file with the layers. It is still the orginal file as there is not any changes made to the file during the upload or download process from the Creative Cloud.
If you find that this resolves your issue or was helpful, could you please take a moment to come back to this discussion and mark the post as helpful. Doing so greatly benefits your fellow users
Thanks

I use this laptop as my home computer but do graphic design on it quite frequently for side jobs but I'm still on OS 10.6.8. My adobe Creative suite is a (not so legal) CS5 that had to be configured to work on this machine.
At work I am about to upgrade my 2010 iMac to the newest OS version and install the new Adobe Creative Cloud suite on it in June. I would like to get the full version, so I can run it on my MacBook too (you are allowed to run two computers with the software purchase) but will this even be possible with my older machine? I can't afford a new one...it doesn't even feel that old.
Also, if it IS possible, then how would I go about uninstalling my CS5? There was quite a bit of tinkering done - not by me so I don't know exactly what - to make it work.
So what should I do? Should I take in to a Mac specialist? Thanks in advance.10.7 or 10.8 and latest version of one of the browsers listed.

Hi - I am looking for the Adobe Illustrator 2014 1.2 (or .0.2) bugfix update for Mac - and it is not visible in the Adobe Creative Cloud Packager (Mac version). The only update visible is Illustrator CC 2014.1 - which is what introduced the bugs.
The only thing that I can think of that might be causing the issues that I have a Mac Mini on Mavericks.
DaveHi
I have discovered that my question above is a non-question. A user triggered by looking at the below article about Illustrator 2014 cc 17.0.2
http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/release-note/illustrator-17-0-2-release-notes.html
He had recently upgraded from wht we now know is 18.0 to 18.1 which is the latest version. He read the above artic
le and supposed that it was a bug fix release for his version - because the v17 ov18 number is not often displayed. It is usually just 2014 CC.
I have asked him to post a bug report about Adobe Illustrator CC 2014.1

Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite: New Choices for Customers
Adobe has announced the new Cloud-based model for software distribution, along with new terms for boxed product upgrade eligibility. Beginning with the CS6 releases, when they happen, upgrade pricing on boxed products will only be availble one generation back. There is a limited window to upgrade now to the current versions at a discount.
See http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2011/11/adobe-creative-cloud-and-adobe-creative-suite -new-choices-for-customers.htmlEugene:
Based on the current information we have (from the blog post), which may not be correct and which you should not rely upon:
There is some confusion about the word "discount." As used in the blog post, in general there are no "discounts" for upgrades, there is the upgrade price and there is full price. But, also in the blog post, there is a special "discount upgrade" if you choose to upgrade to CS5.5 today (prior to Dec. 31, 2011), which is 20% off the regular upgrade. However, Peter used the word "discount" to distinguish between upgrade pricing and full price. It's probably a good idea to avoid using that word there because of the potential for confusion.
I have CS5 InDesign in work. So I will be able to upgrade that to CS6 when it comes out at the discount price?
You will be able to upgrade to CS6 at upgrade pricing. Not the 20% discount, but it is "discounted" from the full price of CS6.
I'm still using CS2 Illustrator and Photoshop, for the little work I do in those programs, they're fine. But if I want to upgrade them to CS6 I have to pay the full amount of an upgrade, with no discount... or will I have to pay for CS6 in full for both of these programs?
You will have to pay the full price (not the "full amount of an upgrade," whatever that means).
If you elect to upgrade to CS5.5 prior to Dec. 31 of this year, however, then then you can pay the discounted upgrade price to upgrade to CS5.5 (well, CS5 since Photoshop CS5.5 doesn't exist), and then you can pay the CS6 upgrade price in March/April. So you can pay for no upgrades (full price) or two upgrades (one of which is 20% off).
At the moment I can upgrade CS2, photoshop and Illustrator for €240 each, to CS5. So wouldn't I just be able to do that now and then buy the CS6 upgrade at a much later date perhaps just before CS7 comes out?
Yes, you can do that.
If CS6 has the tools to basically go "File>Export>Epub" and I get a fully working epub file without having to trash about in code afterwards or make complex tagging in InDesign, then I'll be buying it.
It looks like EPUB is evolving pretty fast, so even if ID CS6 fully supports what you want out of EPUB on Day 1, I bet you'll need to be prepared to postprocess it on Day 2. Or at least long before Day 200. -
Adobe Creative Cloud - has anybody had any luck running Adobe CC on a new mac mini? Does it run slow for Photoshop?
Adobe CC applications are very large and the base Mac mini isn't a good choice because it has only 4GB of RAM and has a slow standard hard drive. To get the most out of ACC you should upgrade the mini to at least 8GB. I'd also choose an SSD or Fusion drive for better performance.

Adobe Creative cloud for Windows Vista?
I would like to use my Adobe Creative Cloud subscription (PS & LR) on my Windows Vista Laptop. Can I use an earlier version that is compatible with this O/S?
You can use PS CS6 by choosing "Other versions" on the CC web site, but LR is a hopeless case. You really should look into upgrading your operating system. Until recently Microsoft threw out Win 8.1 for free even under some conditions as a special promo and even now you can have it for 49 bucks...

Adobe creative cloud for mac os 10.6
Is there an older cloud version for a Mac Os 10.6 System (I only have this available for training) so that I can user at least "After Effects and Premiere" on? If yes were can I download these two packages as a registered Adobe Creative Cloud student - the newest version unfortunately I can not download on my iMac.
thanks for your help with best regards
SWyou might be able to use cs6 apps with your cc subscription.
but it would be better if you upgraded you os (it's free), Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mavericks. (though i realize you may not be able to do that).
