Anyone know if Illustrator CS5.5 works with four monitors without crashing?

I just recently replaced my two AMD HD5850 graphic cards with a single HD7970.
In my previous system configuration I had a total of four monitors (3 connected to one HD5850, and the fourth monitor to the secondary HD5850 card)
This setup worked great, and I had no issues with Illustrator or any other CS 5.0 applications.
Now when I have replaced my two HD5850 cards with a single HD7970 card, all four monitors are connected to the same card, and now I can't start Illustrator anymore without an app crash.
First I had no idea what was going on, and suspected an AMD Catalyst driver bug, but then I found some interesting information here in the forum.

It seems like Illustrator crash if you have your main monitor set to a number greater than 3, and for some reason, my main monitor has been fixed with number 4 of 4 (and there seems to be no way in h#ll it can be changed).
So now, each time I want to use Illustrator CS5.0, I have to first disable one of my monitors, which of course is very frustrating.
So now to my questions
1. Will Adobe ever fix this bug as an update for CS5 users?
2. Does CS5.5 still have this bug? If not I might go ahead and upgrade, but only if someone can confirm that it has been fixed in CS5.5
Thanks!

1. Will Adobe ever fix this bug as an update for CS5 users?
Probably not. With CS6 being something like 4 months away (presumably), you can do your own probability math as to how much interest Adobe may even have to fix this or how many resources they are spending at it. Anyway, not a priority item to be sure, given that there probably are only 0.05% of all AI users even using 4 screens and 2% may be using 3 screens....
2. Does CS5.5 still have this bug?
CS5.5 (or more appropriately CS5.1) is the same as CS5

Get a Virtual Macine software program, Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox, and install XP in a virtual machine.
You can't install XP in a Boot Camp Partition with Lion or Mt Lion, only Win 7.

"iCloud requires iOS 5 on iPhone 3GS or later, iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), iPad, or iPad 2; a Mac computer with OS X Lion; or a PC with Windows Vista or Windows 7 (Outlook 2007 or 2010 or an up-to-date browser is required for accessing email, contacts, and calendars). Some features require a Wi-Fi connection. Some features are not available in all countries. Access to some services is limited to 10 devices."

My computer keeps rejecting CDR's when I try to burn to them. Does anyone know of any CDs that work with iphoto and macs?

Which brand of recordable CD's always work with Macs and iphoto - my computer keeps rejecting the discs and I've tried three brands now

Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden are considered the best quality, but there may be other reasons why this happens, such as a fault with the superdrive.
What Mac do you have, with what version of OS X?

Any one know if PS CS5 will work with Lion?

The first thought I had upon seeing that Lion was going to be released next month was: WILL PHOTOSHOP WORK?
I had so much trouble with CS4 and Snow Leopard, I literally waited until just 2 weeks ago to upgrade to CS5.
I haven't been on mac all that long, so I'm wondering if you longer term mac users have found that there are problems with every mac OS update?
thanks

ps... I'm happy enough with OS X 10.6.7 and the latest CS5, but I can seldom stand the siren song of a new OS :-)

In fact there will be better searching - further narrowing of search results based on new search suggestions
crapp...just what I need after the nightmare "betterment" of 10.4 searching that spins out of control when I start typing a few letters (and doesn't give me back the machine until minutes later or a forced shutdown) and the WORST WORST WORST WORST most useless Spotlight interface ever -- I know because I am still using 10.4 on a 4-core Mac Pro and whomever "improved" 10.4 "spotlight" was a total idiot, imo
spotlight in 10.6 is functional and intituitive — i pray they don't bog 10.7 down with confusing "improvements" that don't work or complicate the search process...
search should work after you type the charaters and hit the go key

Does anyone know if firewave (surround sound) works with Lion?

Hi - am wanting to upgrade to Lion but need to know if my Griffin Firewave will still work. Hate to lose my sounds :-(
Set up is Imac, Firewave, Edifier 5.1 speakers

I installed it and it seems to work fine on the initial launch of the firewave software, but...
I had this problem in Snow Leopard, too. Once I install it, I can open it once - change my settings, etc. After that however it will never launch again. The speakers still work (klipsch 5.1 pro media) just fine, but I can't change any settings.
Uninstalling it as outlined on the firewave webpage, and then reinstalling is not a guarantee that I will ever be able to relaunch it, either (At least with Snow Leopard. I have yet to try with Lion, but I'm curious and will now).
Will follow up if I have more to add, but the short answer from me is that it does indeed work, "but."
I emailed griffin about 6 or so months ago and asked if there was any remote chance they would be upgrading the drivers for snow leopard or eventually Lion, even though the site makes it obvious they don't intend to. The response I recieved reinforced that notion quite clearly.

Anyone know if Elgato Turbo.264 works with iChat?

thx!

Hey Ralph:
Thanks for the reply. I think you're under the impression this is a camera. I probably should have explained that the Elgato Turbo.264 is a H.264 hardware encoder on a USB stick. It looks like any application using the Quicktime codec has the processing offloaded to the Turbo.264. But, I didn't see iChat specifically mentioned on their web site. I'm going to guess this is just wishful thinking on my part.

I have an older iMac 5,1 and the disc drive no longer works. I was hoping that I could the Apple USB super drive as a replacement, but the info on the super drive page says compatible with iMac 2012 or later. Does anyone know why it would not work for me?

A reply to similar question (Q & As , in product page Apple Store) says:
"...dissable the internal reader hardware from devices setup. Then plug the external usb superdrive and that's it." Answered by Enrique T from Lima Oct 25 2013.
If you can locate an external Apple USB 'Air" superdrive for earlier model MacBook Air, that should work. The newer one for the Air is the same as for iMac, now.
You may be able to use other brands of external USB optical drive with your older intel-based iMac, as some of them function capably. A few should also be able to see system discs or other bootable utilities on DVD.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing!

Does anyone know how the cutout filter works and is there a way of achieving the same effect without using filters to get more control over final look?

does anyone know how the cutout filter works and is there a way of achieving the same effect without using filters to get more control over final look?

Several ways to get similar results. Image > Adjustments > Posturize with low values similar to what you'd use n Cutout. This is the most flexible way I can think of as you keep the image in RGB mode with layers intact. A more radical approach would be to reduce bit depth using Indexed Colour. You'll need to experiment with settings, try changing Forced to Primaries, and Matte to Foreground Color. There's no going back from this route, although you can change the mode back to RGB to re-enable layers, adjustment layers etc.
A nice thing about the Filter gallery filters is that you can change the layer to a Smart object with all the control that gives you.
Now if only this forum could filter out bizarre content.

Anyone get iZotope Vinyl UB to work with the following...?

Anyone get iZotope Vinyl UB to work with the following...?
I keep getting an error -1 when I try to load it in Logic pro. I tried emailing iZotope about this but never got any response. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm running:
50gb HD space available.
3GB Ram
Power PC Dual 1ghz
Logic Pro 7.4.7
Mac OS X 10.4.7

Vinyl 1.7.3 loaded and ran fine on my system. Try removing the AU and any supporting files and receipts and re-installing Vinyl again.
And, yes, Vinyl is UB (don't know what possessed a13 to ponder otherwise).

You might investigate "squidhead". It is CF based. I'm not

When I select a local phone number my iphone 4 tries to send an email only and won't ring the number. Does anyone know if this can be fixed with a setting change?

When I select a local phone number from my contacts, the iphone 4 won't ring the number, instead it tries to send an email. Does anyone know if this can be fixed with a setting change?

Thanks for the reply, good try, I thought of that myself and made sure of that this morning, but that is already all done, and as it happens, the contacts are exactly the same as in our other phone (3GS) which works perfectly, but the iphone 4 won't dial ANY local number, instead it tries to send an email. EVERY TIME. most frustrating. I am really trying to work out if there is a setting somewhere (like the area code etc) or if this is a warranty issue.
Thanks again for trying to help!

Will CS5 license work with CS5.5?

After a couple of years away from using it, I want to reinstall CS. I have a license for CS5. Before I download, will it allow me to activate CS5.5 with my CS5 serial number? Does anyone know?

No, CS5.5 is a separate version from CS5.

I got my iphone 5 3 weeks ago and the battery life is very short. It drains out very fast. Does anyone know if it's a problem with the iOS or with my phone? Because I'm a bit concerned

I recieved my iPhone 5 3 weeks ago and the battery life completely *****! After doing a few things and maybe using it for about 30 minutes the phone start overheating like crazy then the battery starts dropping very fast. Does anyone know if it's a problem with the iOS or with my phone? And is anyone else expierenceing these problems?

It sounds like you have an app that is incorrectly continuously using data and power... from normal use the phone should NOT be getting that warm... only constant video playing via data like Netflix for example would result in that...
I'd say that you should remove all apps in the recent app tray... tunr phone off... then once you power back on...
Hold BOTH home and sleep wake buttons together until you see a white apple symbol... then release both buttons...
This will ensure you have no apps running...
I've experienced a hang up with mail while out and about that has resulted in this on my iPhone as well... Once I performed these steps it was fixed... it seemed like it got stuck and that's what caused the warm phone and battery drain...
I notived that when it gets stuck (mail app that is) I will see the text connecting at the bottom and it never changes to "updated" like it should... this is my trigger that it's gotten stuck.
Have not really figured out what causes mail app to get stuck yet...

How to get Camera RAW / Photoshop CS5 to work with Canon 100D?

How to get Camera RAW / Photoshop CS5 to work with Canon 100D? I don't want to by this product again and again...

In what way is ACR not working in Bridge? Is there no right-click Open in Camera Raw available from Bridge, or there is, but the ACR version is less than ACR 6.7.1 or what exactly is the issue?
Also, if you open Photoshop and do Help / About Plug-ins / Camera Raw, is ACR missing from the list, or if not, what version does it say is installed?
You might also want to describe what methods you have tried to correct the issue, since saying you've tried what you've seen posted and they didn't work, isn't really much to go on.
