Can I use older brushes in AI CS5.1?

Hey all--There are scads of free brushes out there, but some of them are pretty old. Can I use brushes created for CS3 or CS4 (and CS5 and maybe as old as CS2) with AI CS5.1? Thanks. --d

Be careful not to get into the HUH! problem. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/713466
But apart from that, yes it's possible to use them.

Can I use photoshop brushes ready for commercial use in the design of pattern?
For example, brush called "Grass" or ""Drop Leaves"?
Thanks for your reply.

Yes, brushes are yours to use in whatever way you see fit.

I am student, can I use older, cracked versions of Photoshop and Illustrator?

Well, it does depend a bit on whether he/she lives in a country where tuition might be zero, and the minimum monthly wage far lower than in the West. Perhaps CC is not even available in his/her country. Perhaps he/she has to take care of an entire family as well - and no money is left for anything as luxurious as a CC subscription.
We have no way of knowing his/her circumstances. They might be bad. If they are, I doubt Adobe will care she/he is using a cracked old version to learn the craft, and then go legit at a later time when she/he can afford it to produce professional work.
Honestly, I feel Adobe should just provide their tools for free for students. Autodesk does that. No reason why Adobe should not follow suit. Most students I know work with cracked versions anyway.

Can't use the brush

Hi, I'm new at Photoshop and started the first lesson in Classroom in a Book with Photoshop CS5.
I'm using Windows 7 and am now trying to use the brush. I selected color (black) and brush (75 pix) but can't get any color on the demo/picture.
What is wrong in my settings?? I'doesn't work even on a new layer??

There are settings you could have wrong, such as Paintbrush Mode, Opacity, Flow...
In a case like this it may be most useful to capture your screen at the point where the brush won't paint and post it here. Someone will likely be able to see what's wrong.

Windows 8.1 can't use older Brother DCP8040 network scanner drivers

There are a lot of older multifunction centers and scanners that will not scan across a network to a windows 8.1 pc. Upon migration to 8.1 many of us are losing our ability to scan across our networks. I have a lot of Brother DCP8040 machines
out there. Brother refuses to rewrite and support network scanning capabilities under win 8.1 for its older machines. The drivers we now have support network scanning under XP, Vista and win 7... but not under win 8.1. Win 8.1 cannot
find the scanner on the network. I can connect a DCP8040 directly to a win 8.1 pc, load the drivers and both print and scan. I can print across the network, but cannot scan. Again, windows 8.1 cannot find the scanner on the network.
Anyone know of any 3rd party solution where the older scanner drivers can be used under win 8.1? My clients refuse to migrate to win 8.1 as it means they have to trash the older MFC's and make considerable investments in new equipment.
I am reading that the same problems are being experienced with older HP, Epson, and Cannon scanners. Someone has to come up with a generic solution.

Maybe you've been at it too long. That is an answer/comment in typical MS big business mentality. You are dramatizing the whole thing to suit your premise. You are overestimating the time necessary to write the driver and you are understating
the significance/size of the problem and the potential return. Stocks of the Brother DCP8040 are still being sold new and refurnished. Literally millions of other brands and models are being affected. So it is not like these machines wont be around
tomorrow. Its not like the problem is not significant enough to draw attention.
If you've really been around that long, go back and think about when you started. If I had a dime for every solution that was sold as freeware "as is" with no support and the condition "if it works, if works, if not,
sorry". But so many have worked and have provided a solution.
I am not suggesting that anyone should jeopardize their personal or corporate well being or devote their entire work week to solve the problem. There are many out there who will write the thing and put it out there as freeware, collecting
donations, just to see if they can do it or help the situation. There are those who even relax buy doing such things, "solving the problem." I mean, if it takes 5-40 hours work, I would be surprised. I myself can write, but I just don't
understand enough about the workings of a printer driver across a network to do the job.
Again, WHERE ARE YOU? And the proof in my words would be for someone to take the task and do it. Again, HEY, WHERE ARE YOU GUYS?

Can't use older versions of Skype anymore?

Alright, so I hate when things update, and usually I just put up with it for new innovative features. I was very content with Skype 5, and the upgrade to 6.0 was frustrating, but I dealt with it. Never at any point during my use of 6 did I prefer it to 5, even as time went on.
Finally, we get to today. I was forced to download Skype 7, and it is the most horrible, buggy, frustrating thing ever. I can barely do anything without it randomly freezing, or spiking in memory usage. I'm using the right version for my computer, my computer is very up to date on hardware, and I've had no software problems with ANY other program to this magnatude. And that's BESIDE the fact that Skype 7 just looks DISGUSTING. The organization of my recent messages and contacts is downright attrocious and I can barely keep my recent replies in check.
The worst part is that I can't downgrade to a better version. After STRUGGLING to find an older version, it just tells me that Skype can't connect. Are you serious? I'm being FORCED to use this useless piece of junk? I've used a LOT of Skype (at least 5 hours a day daily since I got it.) And I think this is the last straw for me. I don't know what to do, I can't use this version, it's terrible.
The question I'm posing in this thread, is how do I use an older version of Skype. If the answer is "I don't." Then I'm uninstalling and never coming back.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have the same problem. This morning my skype decided it was time to update itself. Even though (of course), it shouldn't even check for updates or ask me to update. Or at least these are my settings...
However, this has happened before. But before, when skype updated, I could just uninstall it and install the version that I want to (keeping an exe with the proper version always did the trick). The things is that when I tried to install my older version after uninstalling, skype installer says that servers are down. Meaning that skype has stopped working with these older versions. They are now forbidden to install (even if you find an installer somewhere and OldVersion and OldApps have stopped support for skype).
I am seriously considering forgetting about skype and using an alternative. Some people have mentioned the emoticons and the general layout of the new version that disgusts them. But I will also add that the way we used to send pictures over skype is now changed. And it's horrible! Sending a link with the shared photo is just waste of time. You'd need to open a browser, log in, open the photo and download it just so you can have it on your computer (wtf??). Adding to this is the decrease of its quality and resolution and the missing name of the picture.
Thank you for reading (a potato).

Can I use older versions of unactivated iPhones in the classroom as "clickers" to use with Socrative online?

I'm curious about using unactivated iPhones in the classroom. If I can get about 20 parents to donate older version of iPhones can I use them to record video or take pictures and then plug them into the computer to download the content captured? I also want to know if there is some way to use the wifi feature in the classroom to connect to the internet and use the unactivated devices as a classroom tool for students to enter answers to questions posted in Socrative online.
As I typed that all out I realized that most likely I can not use an iPhone to access wifi and a page online but perhaps I could still use them as handheld cameras to capture moments in the classroom and download the pictures once attached to the usb cord.
Any adviace about getting unactivated iPhones in use at school would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.
**I teach middle school Science and want to be more individualized within the content we teach. This would help.. so would 15 iPads with service. If I could only win the lottery I'd be unlimited with what we could do in the classroom. Thanks again.

yeah, you can use deactivated iphones as cameras. when you plug them into the computer, the OS will ask what you want to do with the photos on the device. you will import them and they'll be editable files on the computer after that

Can i use older ram on a newer macbook pro

I have a MACBOOK PRO 15' LATE 2011 2.2 GHz intel core i7 4gb 1333 MHz DDR3 can I use an 8gb 1066 MHz DDR3 on it???
please need help??
Thank you

It may work, but the performance won't be the same and it's risky. If you have checked that everything except the RAM speed meets the requirements of your Mac, that memory should work, but your Mac will use 1066 MHz instead of 1333 MHz.
I recommend you to buy new 1333 MHz memory to guarantee the compatibility and save headaches in the future if the 1066 MHz memory doesn't work

Can I use older AC adaptor?

I just bought the x201 that comes with a 65watt 20volt 3.25amp AC adaptor.
I have old thinkpad AC adaptors, 90 watt, 20 volt, 4.5 amps, with the same connector. Can I use that as a spare?
Thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome to the forum!
Sure, you can. 90W adapter will charge the battery more quickly too!
Hope this helps.

I can't use my brushes. They seem to be stuck. Can anyone help?

When trying to use my brushes, they stick on the photo. Seems to be withall adjustments.

What else do you notice, when the brush gets stuck? Are there any warnings or error messages in the Console window, do you see the beach ball or increase activity in the activity monitor? Is the Aperture interface completely unresponsive, or only your brush?
Have you done any ot the standard measures outlined in Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics ?
If you want to try those, I would start with the removing the preference file, since the user interface seems to be the source of the trouble, but before you start with trouble shooting measures, try to observe and collect as many symptoms and clues as possible, because afterwards it will be more difficult to get to the source of the trouble.
For a start it would also be good to know, if you see the same symptoms, when working from a different account, e.g. the Guest account and a different library. If your brushes will get stuck too, under this conditions, we would know, that either your system, your hardware, or the Aperture Application are to blame, and neither your Preference settings or your library.

Can I use my old Design Suite CS5 on my new MacBook Pro?

I bought the Design Suite CS5 two, three years ago and now I have bought a new MacBook Pro. I've heard that I cannot use the programs that I bought, and that I now have to start subscribing to the programs using Creative Cloud. Is this true?

Absolutely untrue. Download, install, and activate your software from https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html
Deactivate the software on your old computer if you don't use it any more.

Bought Win 8 PRO upgrade, still can't use older programs!

I bought a new Windows 8 computer and was told that if I wanted to use my older programs that were compatible with XP, Vista, etc., that I would have to upgrade to the Pro version of Win 8. I spent the extra $99.99 and the thing STILL WON'T LET ME RUN
THOSE PROGRAMS! That's so frustrating! I replaced my previous computer -- a year-old DELL that wasn't just a lemon it was a lime, too -- because it was too frustrating. Now I'm frustrated with my month-old computer that I "UPGRADED" the OS to enable
me to continue using my favorite programs (desktop publishing, photo editing, etc.) and it won't let me do so. I'm ready to go APPLE if this issue isn't resolved to my satisfaction! I'm so tired of arguing with computers and trying to make them do what they're
supposed to! A long, solid cement block wall is so VERY tempting right now; a solid introduction to my current and previous (I still have it) computers would be so much fun!
How do I make my Windows 8 PRO computer actually do what I was told it would do: Run the older programs? I'm not asking for the moon, just for Microsoft to keep their word!

Probably that's why the user was told to upgrade, Hyper-V is an optional feature in Windows 8 Pro.
Yeah, probably true. Although previous versions of the desktop OS had Virtual PC. I believe this is probably more an attempt to standardize on the more robust Hyper-V product (and allow better upgrades and experience) and let the older VPC, as
legacy, ride quietly into the sun.
That, and to piss VMware off even further as more people learn of and realize the true power of Hyper-V. >:)
