Anyone else not happy with CS3 for Mac?

I converted to a Mac a year or so ago and was amazed how bad
Dreamweaver and Fireworks 8 were compared to the Windows version. I
couldn't find anyone complaining about it the web, so I figured it
was just me. After a month I eBayed the Mac and went back to a PC.
Well, I couldn't do without the Mac again so I bought a 3.0
GHz MacPro with 3GB RAM a few months ago. I eagerly awaited the
release of CS3 thinking "Ahhh, maybe they fixed the stuff I didn't
like. I mean, it was SO bad that SOMEONE had to complain about it."
Nope.
Trying it out tonight and I've found this...
Scrollbars in the floating panels
don't work with 4 of the mice I own
I make my own keyboard shortcuts and
save them. When I return to Fireworks, they're intermittently back
to the "Web Standard"
Much like the keyboard shortcut
issue, my saved Workspace Layout doesn't load when I start
Fireworks again
In Preferences, I point to an
additional Photoshop plug-in directory and Patterns directory. I
exit Fireworks and the plug-ins are there... quit and start
again... gone!
Property Inspector...
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ, oh it refreshed, good. Yawn.
If anyone feels like duplicating the Keyboard
shortcut/Plug-In/Patterns issue, this is how I do it...
1. Save yourself a set of Keyboard shortcuts
2. Save yourself a Workspace, arrange the floaty panels
around where you want 'em
3. Go into Prefrences and find an additional Plug-Ins folder
(ie Applications:Photoshop:etc:etc)
4. Restart Fireworks
5. The Plugins are there! Yay
6. Go back into Preferences and Browse to a different
Patterns directory.
7. Restart Fireworks
8. Whoa, Keyboard shortcuts and Workspace are back to their
defaults, and gone are the Plug-ins AND the Patterns.
Hopefully someone else on a Mac can duplicate that.
I've used and been an advocate of this program since version
3, on Windows. Absolutly love it. Do any other
ex-Windows-now-Mac-users know what I am talking about?
I could list a load of stuff about my old friend Dreamweaver
but that's a different forum.

Hi, R e j u v e s i t e
I know exactly what you talking about ...
I've posted a lot of message about it in this forum ...
adobe's people seems to be blind to my messages ...or their mouse
jump over the line of my post ... i don't know...
I'm so disapointed by the OSX version of FW ... I miss the
Macromedia's team

  • Is anyone else having problems with Office for Mac and Lion?

    Since installing Lion 10.7.1 on a macbook pro 2.53 Ghz 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 I have had no end of problems. Both Excel and Word hang, crash and saving an Excel file is a pain. A 12mb spread sheet just took 4 minutes to save! I have MS Office for Mac 2011 version 14.1.3.
    Another problem that may not be related to Office is that opening Finder is so slow and most of the time it takes a minute to display folders in Desktop or Documents.
    Any suggestions would be welcome .. I regret installing Lion .. I had no problems with Snow Leopard!

  • Is Anyone else having problems with their I MAC 24" Foggy display?

    Is anyone else having problems with their I MAC 24" having a foggy display in lower right hand corner after the computer has been on for 30 or 45 min? This is now the 2nd computer that has this same problem. Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue with the IMAC 24"? Does anyone know what might be the cause? I have only had the computer for a month. Thanks very much.

    Thank you for the nice welcome.
    Sorry about posting in the wrong area I found the correct discussion board. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7998535#7998535
    Its seems that I am not alone in my problem but I do have good news to report that apple support has acknowledged the issue is happening and a fix is in the works. The support and assistance I received today helped greatly to restore my faith in apple product satisfaction.
    Lets hope you don't have this experience in the future, hopefully a solution can be reached that is in everyone best interest. I may have to drive a greater distance to another apple store but for myself and others like me feel its worth the extra effort to get better customer service in the long run.

  • Is anyone else not happy that they took the e-mail reminders out of the iCal program on Mavericks

    I find now that I upgraded to Mavericks, I need to put my schedule in two places. One in iCal and one in reminders. I would rather do it in one place. Does anyone else find this a step backward? I think they should sync reminders to iCal so once you put it in Remiders it appear in iCal.

    MacPro 2.66   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   2G ram.. iSight camera

    I use it with a Powerbook G4...so G3 might not be enough...here are the system requirements as listed on Skype's web site:
    * Mac computer with G4 800 Mhz processor or faster
    * Mac OS X v10.3.9 Panther or newer
    * 512 MB RAM

    * Webcam: Suggested webcams include Apple iSight, Philips SPC900NC, or Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000. Drivers for the Philips and Logitech webcams can be downloaded from http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/.
    * Internet connection (broadband is best, GPRS is not supported for voice calls, and results may vary on a satellite connection).

  • Siri is not what it claims so far. poor recognition anyone else not happy. previous question on why siri wants to send a message before i get a chance to review siri type o's

    Siri wants to send my messages before i get a chance to review it can i slow siri down before she sends my message?

    First if you were talking to a Uverse rep about transferring ownership of account and then inquired about phone service the only thing that could be offered would be Uverse VoIP. Calling 1-800-288-2020 is also calling the Uverse division of AT&T, again VoIP. POTS is not Uverse, a separate department with a separate bill, and no bundle discount for combined services. The install would be handled by the outside lineman, not a Uverse tech. If chose the self install the lineman would get dial tone to the NID, you would be responsible for wiring NID to house wiring as Uverse Max Plus 18 or Max Turbo 24 should be a dedicated home run from NID to RG not touching the house wiring. A full tech install would be billable as is a tech assist service call to connect wiring. Lastly AT&T as stated desire to be all IP by 2020, expect POTS and DSL CO based products to be discontinued in near future.  Therefore you may have a better chance at a POTS line by going 3rd party provider. And yes if VOIP is active expect to pay for service till such time as CANCEL VOIP service or number is transferred. These are my thoughts and do not represent any official response.

  • HT204407 Is anyone else having issues with login for Find My Friends App?

    I keep getting the error message "either login name or password is incorrect. I have reset the password but I still get the same error message. Does anyone know the fix for this? Thanks, Terry

    I just got the same message myself. Which I have only had 2 times in three years, so I checked here.

    There is an issue with the iTunes Store on Apple's end, so I assume that is why we cannot connect.

  • Anyone else having problems with the new Mac Mavericks update? I get static sound at random times now?

    Macbook 2009 does static sound on google chrome and so does my mac desktop. This is all started under Mavericks 10.9.2 for me.

    Nevermind I fixed it. Atleast I think I did, I just set my audio to 24-bit and 9600khz or whatever its called and it sounds clear now. At least I hope that fixed the problem.

  • What is the best CRM to integrate with Outlook for Mac 2011?

    Hello,
    I am rather new to Mac and need to employ a CRM for a new small business. After reading reviews we deciding on using Salesforce.com, since it is web-based and seemed to be the best option for mac users. However, now that we have subscribed to it we have discovered that it does not integrate with Outlook for Mac 2011.  Even after inquring on third party apps and plug-ins, it does not appear there is a solution.  MailDrop only works with Entourage and MacMail, which we don't use, or want to use.  iHance and Riva seemed liked possible choices, however they do not support Salesforce Group Edition, which is what we have.  Changing our subscription from Group to Professional edition is a huge jump in price per month.  Plus we would most likely need to pay for a monthly app/plug-in fee.
    Bottom line, we want to keep using Outlook for Mac 2011 and use an effective CRM.  Any constructive advice is welcomed:
    Any third party apps, plugins, work arounds that I may not have mentioned?
    Any other suggestions for CRMs that integrate well with Outlook for Mac 2011?
    At it's simpliest level, is there a way to export contacts from Outlook for Mac 2011 into our Salesforce account?  If so, I want to make sure to avoid loading duplicates in the future.
    Thank you.

    Well, "feeling your pain" is almost cliche at this point.  I imagine every MAC deployed business out there is not completely happy with the SalesForce answer.  As a user, the perfect world is to keep using Outlook, have it be a powerful CRM - and not have to leave the MAC OS environment..... 
    I can tell you the direction I am going in, but I don't have any results as yet.  I found a link from a MAC developer that has figured a stable way to do this.  With the use of "Parallels" and "MS Dynamics CRM", there may be light at the end of the tunnel.  Essentially, you can now have a powerful CRM - without having to leave MS Outlook - and still use your MAC.  As I said, I will have to try it myself to comment further, but at least it is one realistic answer to keeping your MAC in the business world.

  • Problems With Bridge for Mac - Playlists and Photos

    I have a Sony Xperia Z3, up to date and an updated version of sony bridge for Mac, so there isnt any problems there for a start.
    Firstly, when I syncronise my playlists, all the tracks are present on my phone, however not divided into the playlists I syncronised them in. Theres 1000's of songs, so to recreate the playlists individually is very tedious, is there no way of transferring the songs in their collections, so they can be viewed in the itunes playlists?
    Secondly, I syncronised alot of photos from iPhoto using the app. Lots of photos have turned up with a black picture icon on the phone, I assume corrupt. Other photos have syncronised all distorted. Why is this? Again, there are alot of these so to do it in smaller sets is also tedious, as the app is pretty slow compared to syncronising with itunes and my old iphone.
    Overall, not impressed with bridge for mac, its a pretty unreliable and slow program!

    Hi richardackroyd!
    Sorry to hear about your problems.
    It's hard for me to know exactly what causes the problems.
    Can you please send me the error-logs for both the probems.
    So I can forward them to the development team.
    Here’s how to get error logs from Sony Bridge for Mac:
    1. In BfM, hold the "alt" key down while selecting the "Phone" menu. Select "Clear logs" to remove all old logs and get a clean start
    2. Reproduce the problem you're having, whether it's connecting the phone, importing photos, doing backup...
    3. In BfM, hold the "alt" key down while selecting the ”Xperia” menu. Select "Export logs"
    4. On the computers desktop there should now be a file named "SonyBridgeForMacLogs_[date].zip
    5. PM me a open dropbox link withe the files.
    Best regards
    Fredrik

    I just got iphone 5c and i am not happy with it. It uses to much data and i don't even know how. I can't get the ringtones i want for my contacts.I got it on my free upgrade but i want to take it back and get something else but where i got it they say i can't because i don't have the earbuds and i have serches or them. now i am suck with a phone i don't like at all until my next upgrade. this is very dishearten

    1. If you are this unhappy with that phone, and the lost earbuds is the only thing stopping you from taking it back, why do not just buy some earbuds. That way you can get rid of that phone. It all depend upon how much you want to get rid of that phone.
    2. Yet if you are stuck with that iPhone, here is something might help you to control the data usage. By design, iPhones do turn off WiFi when they go dormant. So if a download is in progress and so forth when the phone goes dormant, it will switch to use cellular data, if this setting is left on. Therefore, from multi-sources I have learned that if you keep your iPhone connected to a power source, then it will stay connected to the available WiFi.

  • Anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find my provider. I swapped SIMs with another iPhone 4 on ios 4 to confirm device problem.

    Has anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find AT&T, my provider. I swapped SIM cards with another iPhone 4 running ios 4 and established this is a device problem, not a SIM card problem.

    Does the device get any signal? 
    Sounds like the device may have had a hardware failure.  If it is out of warranty, the only option is the Out of Warranty replacement.
    AppleCare is only an option if it is still under the original warranty.
