Be very wary of downloading cc 2014 apps

Foolishly I thought this would be no problem - download new versions but keep the old versions and check they're working first.
Photoshop, fine apart from loss of interface colour and customised KB shortcuts, illustrator, fine.
After Effects, fails on app launch and tells me to uninstall and reinstall. OK, but wait, the uninstaller also fails although recommends certain actions such as the Cleaner Tool.
I try this and apparently all it did was clean away my previous version of AE.
AE 2014 still fails and still can't be uninstalled.
I can't reinstall the old version of AE from creative cloud.
I've also restarted, repaired permissions, booted in safe mode, tried to force AE to download again.
I've had tech support on who had to resort to using remote viewer to start digging around on my mac changing folder names to .old etc.
Despite trying all sorts of things including setting up a new user, he couldn't resolve the issue so now I'm screwed and restoring my mac from yesterday using TimeMachine.
This will take approx 2hrs so on top of the messing around earlier I'll have now lost half a day. And that's if the restore actually gives me back my previous AE which I'm currently sceptical of.
Well done Adobe.

Time Machine restore has failed to give me back the previous versions of my apps so now I'm still stuck without After Effects.
Brilliant, I wonder what I'm going to do now.

Error downloading CC 2014 apps

My team and I are trying to download the CC 2014 apps, but the downloads keep failing about halfway through with the following message: "The download appears corrupted. Please try again after a few minutes. (-60)"
We are behind a company firewall and have always been able to download updates for the CC apps without a problem (our IT team added the Adobe update servers to the proxy). Can anyone help us resolve this please?
Thanks!

Rosco7 I would recommend reviewing Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html. In particular there is link to documentation to allow your I.T. department to configure your network to prevent download errors.

My iPod touch is downloading and updating apps very slow more than an hour.

My iPod touch 4th gen 32gb verson 4.3.1 is downloading and updating apps very slow more than an hour. I just got it a day ago and I backed up all my apps music and pictures and videos from iTunes. Few months ago I had an iPod touch but I lost it and it was working fine. Luckily before I lost it i backed up everything to iTunes so now everything that was in my old iPod is now in my new iPod. Anyways, When I first bought it I straight away backed up everything and saw that i had many updates on my apps. I started updating it all at once but even the first one was not loading at all and mty ipod was hanging many times during the updates so i cancelled all the updates. i even tried it on my computer and it was taking forever but my laptop does updating and downloading apps slower than my ipod so that doesnt matter. Even when I download an app on my iPod now its take more that an hour. So i was wondering, is my iPod slow cause I backed up too many things when i just got it . I have about 120 apps 150 plus photos and 70 videos and I backed it up all in one night on the day i got my ipod. So now I'm restoring my iPod and updating it to IOS 5 and see what happens. Hopefully it will be faster then but I still need to know what is main problem of m iPod hanging and slow updating/downloading. Need a reply ASAP. Thanks

Still you can switch it off while syncing.
You can also do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)

Very very slow to download gmail in mail APP iPad

As I wrote in the title, in the last days, from when I updated iOS 7.04, I've some problem with the mail app in iPad 3rd gen.
With the account gmail: it's very very very slow to download the emails.
First of all, I reset the iPad, but nothing.
So, I deleted the gmail account and set up it again... but nothing.
So, what's the problem: Gmail? Mail APP in iOS 7.04? Both? And how can I resolved it?
Thank you very much for yours replay. Best regards.

Can I uninstall old apps once I download the 2014 versions? Will all of my files will still be accessible?

I've downloaded the 2014 CC versions of InDesign, Ilustrator and Photoshop. I would like to delete the old programs to free up space on my hard drive. Will this affect any files that I made using the old apps?

Files will still be there... plugins maybe not

This messages says (at least some) CC 2014 programs use NEW plugins https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1499663
-so do not uninstall the older CC programs if you use plugins in your programs until you are sure you have plugins that work in CC2014

I have just purchased this on the apps store but it is taking very long to download. Is this normal

I have just purchased lion on the apps store but it is taking very long to download. Is this normal

Probably. It's a very large download and Apple's servers are undoubtedly being hammered by everyone else also wanting to get Lion on the first day.

Firefox for android automatically downloads an IP app, very annoying. Please fix this.

As soon as I start browsing on firefox, it automatically downloads an IP app, doesn't install it, but the app just stays in my downloads folder. Happens every time. Please fix this.

The app is from https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/ip?src=search we auto update installed apps so is it possible that is was already or previously installed on the phone?
Menu button > tools > apps would show any installed WebApps.

When i download a new app on ipad it does not show up on iphone

I have icloud turned on on my ipad and iphone but when i download a new app on my ipad or iphone it does not always show up on the other. Its getting very aggravating and I have no idea how to fix this!!!!!!!!!

Make sure the app is supported on both devices. Some apps are iPad only. Also make sure they are supported by the iOS version on each device if they are running different versions of iOS.
Turn on automatic downloads on both devices:
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Select items you want to download automatically fom the Automatic Downloads section

When I download a new app from the App Store it does not show up on my home screen but I can find it in my settings but out from it says no data

When I download a new app from App Store and press open when it's complete, it won't do anything, and when I look on my home screens it's nowhere to be found but if I go to settings and look under icloud and usage, I can find them but out from it says no data. I have tried deleting them and reinstalling but that's no working either... Please help me.. Thank you very much:)

Try resetting the phone. Push both the home and lock button at the same time until it goes off. Keep them pushed until the Apple logo come up...
Also, try deleting the app and downloading it again.

I reinstall the Yosemite due to the wifi issue, when finished, the iMovie was not installed, I try to download it from app store, but it's not free. How can I get iMovie back?

I'm using a mid 2014 13" rmbp. I reinstall the Yosemite due to the wifi issue, when finished, the iMovie was not installed, I try to download it from app store, but it's not free. How can I get iMovie back?

It's something to do with the main user account (not iTunes account) on my Mac because I logged in with another account and it downloaded fine, I installed it on the HDD and even though the date in App Store was 16th October 2014, it is the full installer of 10.10.2.
To try to resolve this problem, I have copied the installer app elsewhere and deleted it but App Store still will not allow me to download it with my main user account yet just allowed me to update iTunes.
I had a brainwave last night that it might have been related to me changing the default downloads folder to one not on my boot drive (to save disk space on my main boot drive) but having changed it back, tried again, rebooted and tried yet again, deleted my App Store preferences. nothing has worked.

I've downloaded some free apps on my iphone 4 and some of them have ads. I was just wondering, are those ads free as well, or are they using my internet when they pop up like that? i have to mention, i never click them.

Yes, they will use a very small amount of your internet bandwidth to display.

Total Failure of CC 2014 Apps on Windows 7

Total Failure of CC 2014 Apps on Windows 7
Yesterday (Thursday16 Oct 2014) I had one of those tech issues that stretch the imagination and patience of a customer. After using CC for the past two years, and generally very happy with the response and resources, I updated all my app to the CC 2014 releases.
I expect a few bugs (which are usually corrected quickly) but not a total failure. In my case InDesign would open, but lock up. It could not be accessed or terminated without using the Task Manager. Illustrator would open and run, but could not be terminated without the task manager. Photoshop worked, I didn't try the remainder of the apps.
I started at 10am trying to figure it out. I deleted all the preferences, cleared CC preferences, reset VRAM, all the usual steps.
At 11a I called tech support and that started what ended up being a four hour cycle of two tech support calls with remote access which produced zero results and plus my time of more than 4 hours uninstalling/reinstalling first the CC2014 apps and then finally uninstalling all CC2014 apps and re-installing the CC apps (but that's the end of the story).
Both tech support personnel were polite. But they took me through and agonizingly long stretch of nothing. It was like a four hour Seinfeld episode.
Before I continue understand that I have, by design, a totally generic machine. It is Win7 64B, 8GB of ram, NVIDIA Video, 4TB of high speed disk drives and standard software. I have GB Ethernet, and Comcast commercial service with 50/15, almost zero latency. The only semi-intrusive component is MS's Security Essentials. All drivers are up to date with the latest or latest stable versions.
Also note that I have been using Adobe products on Mac and PC since 1995 and I have never had an experience like this with any product.
Solutions offered and explored were:
* Increase VRAM to 4x physical RAM
* Make Acrobat the default printer
* Ask if I am on a domain controller
* An a dozen other relatively useless options.
There was a lot of random setting, disabling services, etc. All for nothing. And all the solutions offered were generally irrelevant. Any software that has otherwise worked perfectly for years, that suddenly requires me to uninstall WACOM, uninstall printers, disable services, change network configurations, etc. should be ignored and other options found.
Finally, I told them to stop. I had already lost more than $1500 in billing and I am now two days behind in work. I then uninstalled all the CC2014 apps and re- installed all the CC apps which to no surprise work perfectly.
This is totally unacceptable for a company like Adobe. There is something wrong with the release and I could not get the support personnel to say, "Wow. We better get on this right now." I finally told them I couldn't afford to let them use me to debug their mistakes.
I fear that companies like Adobe, and Apple, and Microsoft are enamored with the speed of online software releases and are getting very sloppy indeed in testing. When they had to burn a million CD installs it seems they were much more careful.
So Adobe, what do I do now? Your mistake has cost me more than the equivalent of two years subscription to CC in just one day. In 24 hours you've effectively doubled my subscription cost (actually quadrupled because I now have to the work and make up the same hours in overtime).
What do I want? Simple...
1. I want Adobe to credit me one year of my CC subscription.
2. I want Adobe to commit to testing as thoroughly as they used to.
3. I want Adobe to fix the CC2014 apps
4. I want to know I can have confidence in future installs.
5. Take away the horrid opening screen on Illustrator CC2014 or let us choose our own images.

Have you received any feedback regarding this issue and reasonable resolution?
InDesign CC 2014 is proving to be a mess for me. It will work for a while, then it won't. I can only use the task manager to close the file. I've followed all of the suggestions for disabling, resetting, preferences, settings, etc. I continue to have horribly slow performance, or no performance at all.
Interestingly, I now have an issue with fonts. Fonts installed on my computer work great in one file. In another file, the exact same fonts, with the exact same paragraph and character settings can't be found for some reason. When I attempt to replace the font a prompt displays that the font can't be found. It can be found in another file, very perplexing.
So far today, I've spent three hours trying to make a file change that should have taken me 15 minutes at the longest.
What is going on with this version? This is a ridiculous way to do business. What happened to trouble shooting and caring about the end product? This is frustrating and my confidence in Adobe has been depleted. The company I work for was looking to upgrade to Adobe CC for all 65 marketing and graphics personnel, I can't recommend that now.
Any new information on how to deal with these issues would be greatly appreciated.

I have purchased apps in the past and now every time I download a new app my IPad notifies me that they cannot be purchased at the time. For example, tap tap revenge and 11 others cannot be purchased at the time. How can I get rid of it?

Mac App Store won't allow re-downloading of deleted apps

I am experiencing very glitchy behaviour with the Mac App Store. The store can't tell when individual apps are deleted, and therefore won't allow re-download. This has been going on for a while - when I click on the Purchases tab all Apps are still listed as Installed and the button is greyed out - I can't click to re-download. At the same time, an app that I previously did download and later removed called Cobook won't delete from the computer - after a few minutes to an hour it will re-appear in my Applications folder.
I have done a clean re-install of Mountain Lion trying to fix this problem, however the same problem exists even after a re-install - Apps that had been deleted prior to the clean install are still greyed out in the Purchases tab, and can't be re-downloaded. The only way that Apps can be re-installed is to use Time Machine backup. I am concerned that this means that updates also aren't working, since the App Store doesn't seem to know what Apps are on my computer and which ones aren't.
Yes I am using the correct Apple ID assocaited with the purchases. My purchase history shows up just fine in the Purchases tab, its just that they are stuck showing that they are currently installed, even the ones that aren't.
Mountain Lion 10.8.2, 21.5" iMac (mid-2011).

The problem is possibly worse than I expected. Since the clean re-install, now any App purchased and downloaded via App Store won't appear in the Purchases tab. So in other words, although the download seems to work correctly, and the app works, the App Store seems to lose all track of it. Which is a problem for paid apps.

Podcast episodes won't download in iTunes app (but works fine on desktop)

Hi, I can't figure this out:
Our podcast episodes simply won't download in the iTunes app on iPhone. The download simply stops at 10.3 kB (or sometimes at another value), without really getting started at all.
This is very odd, since downloads are working fine in iTunes on the desktop, and in other apps on the phone (such as Instacast).
Here's the iTunes-page for the podcast:
http://itunes.apple.com/no/podcast/filmfrelst/id303539607?l=nb
And here's the RSS feed URL:
http://montages.no/filmfrelst_files/rss.php
(The podcast is called "Filmfrelst", and is searchable in the iTunes app)
Any clues?

OK, seems like I located the problem - sort of. It's not the feed that's the issue, but rather the fact that I'm pushing my MP3-files through a PHP script which does some statcounting. If I access the MP3 files directly, the iTunes app downloads them OK.
So I'm guessing maybe my headers aren't exactly what the iTunes app is expencting? Here's a snippet from the PHP file which outputs the MP3 data:
header('Content-Type: audio/mp3');
header('Content-Length: 'filesize($location));
@readfile($location);

Be very wary of downloading cc 2014 apps
