Can't delete Preferences in CS 4 (Design Standard)

     Haven't used Ilustrator in over a year (ill) and I can't add lettering to an historical photo design. Layers are locked, new layer started for lots of lettering to be added but I'm prevented from drawing the curved base lines I need to wrap the words around the images. Thinking it might be preferences, I followed the Security Bulletin APSB10-01 and got as far as  2nd step: <Install Location>( I assumed that was C drive/Adobe) > Adobe Illustrator CS4/Adobe Illustrator.app.which is not there. I have a folder called en_ US instead.
    Now what?  I hope there is a simpler method? Removing preferences used to be a lot easier. Forgot to add OS is Vista Home Premium.   I appreciate the help very much.....thank you.....mm

Hello Jacob!  Yes!  Long Time! Just opening up Illy after almost 2 years was just mind boggling! I kept trying to do things I can do in PS that just don’t happen there-likePaint Bucket, smudging, dodge and burn, and I thought I had lost my mind. Anyhoo, I did manage a work-a-round by placing each photo design on a new page, and worked several wrapped words with levels of transparency for differences  in letters and words as I liked. I love doing composites and actually, separating a part from the whole made concentration much easier. I have 1 section done and 3 more to go.  
So, thanks so much for the new info you offered!  I'll make that a Vista preference and try to follow your goodies.  Most likely, I'll be b-a-c-k!!...............happy snowing--if you like what we're getting.....mm

  • How can I change a German CS5.5 Design Standard into English?

    How can I change a German CS5.5 Design Standard into English?

    Thanks for the answer.
    No my version installs straight into German.
    There are files in many languages to be found in the contents folders.
    I managed to rename one that was recommended in a post on google in Photoshop
    inside the german language files and most of the program
    magically reverted back to its mother tongue, english.
    There was a similar way to delete or rename a file in the
    german files in Illustrator.
    However, if you go deeper in the settings of both programs,
    there are still some german words appearing.
    Finally I managed to get a hold of a little program
    on a page called 'Indesign secrets' that changed
    the language back to english on Indesign.
    But also with that one the change is not 100%.
    Lastly there are the other little programs like Bridge
    that completely stay German.
    I just can't believe that I have bought a program last 2 years ago
    that I can't use in it's first language.
    English is in all the programs.
    Adobe should just let the user decide, when they move countries
    or simply want to use the same jargon and menu names.
    Most of the tutorials or books are in English and always
    using other names for the same buttons and settings just
    seems odd, when you lived in a country for a while.
    As far as I know, the new creative cloud version is
    able to be switched.
    If you have any comprehensive method to coerce all those
    english files back from the hidden out into the open,
    I would really appreciate it.

  • Can't reinstall Adobe Acrobat from my Design Standard 5.5

    I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat from by computer, it was part of Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard. When I tried to reinstall Acrobat from the disk, it says my serial number is invalid, which it isn't. I tried live chat with Adobe but they were unable to help me. I use Acrobat for work and school so I really need to get this resolved.

    Yes, and there is just one disk. I have tried deactivating Photoshop so it will let me license the product again, but I can’t deactivate. I’ve also tried un-installing the entire suite and then re-installing, but I am unable to uninstall.

  • How can I buy a student version of Design Standard?

    I have downloaded a trial of Design Standard cs6 and I would like to activate it as a student version. When I click on the link to buy the software it tells me that I can't buy it in my country. When I go to the specific NZ page and click the link to buy it (this link exists, therefore the software should be available) I am sent back to the US page. Everyone I have contacted at adobe seems to think that the free trial I downloaded came on a disk and won't tell me how to buy a serial number. Is there any way to actually pay for this software? Or should I just give up on Adobe altogether? At this point it's looking like it will take weeks to get hold of legal software.

    Have you tried going to education store at http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software _sl_mostpopular.html?marketSegment=EDU?  You may also want to review the Education FAQ - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/education-faq.html.

  • No longer can launch a licensed copy of CS6 Design Standard

    After being unable to install the 16.0.3 update to Illustrator either via manually or via software update several days ago, I ended up uninstalling/reinstalling my licensed copy of CS6 Design Standard which I had bought and downloaded from the Adobe Store.  Moments ago, I tried to launch Photoshop.  Instead Adobe Application Manager launched and informed me that I was required to sign in to start my software trial.  Why am I now getting a message to start a software trial when I have installed the software suite and entered the license code Adobe issued me?

    Yes.  Each time that I have installed CS6, I have reached the "Welcome" screen which includes 2 options: License (I have a license code.) and Trial.  I click on the License option and, when the next screen appears, I have entered my license code which has now been verified by Adobe.  The installation proceeds normally but, when I start to work on a project in any of the suite apps, I start getting prompts to sign in again.  I might also point out 2 additional things When I installed CS6 for the first time, I was prompted to enter a license code from a product (CS5.5 in this case) qualifying me for the upgrade version of CS6.  In my latest uninstalls/reinstalls, I have not been prompted for this qualifying license code.  Second, this nightmare began when I, like many others couldn't get the latest update (16.0.3) to Illustrator to install either through software update or by manually downloading the installer.  Some other users found that, by uninstalling/reinstalling Illustrator, the update would install.  I tried this but that didn't work for me and, when I started receiving dialogue boxes that said I could use this trial version for 32000+ days (I kid you not.), I decided to uninstall/reinstall CS6 from the original dmg file downloaded from Adobe.  Earlier today, I contacted Adobe and was issued a case number.  I have reinstalled CS6 using the verified license code so we'll see what happens.

  • Where can I download the Creative Suite 6 Design Standard Student Teacher Version install packages?

    I have a serial number and downloaded the normal install packages for CS6. Using my serial number failed. I wonder if this is because I only have a serial number for an educational version.

    Serial number failures have nothing to do with edu vs. commercial packages. Once you have the serial number from your redemption code, the technical prerequisites are the same. At best you may have downloaded an installer that is for a different region and uses a different serial number range, but that's a different matter entirely. Either way, contact serial number support via web chat to sort out the issue.

  • Upgrade to CS6 Design Standard problems

    I bought CS5 Design Standard on March 30, 2012 so I applied for the free upgrade to CS under the "Claim your complimentary CS6 Upgrade" program (http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/upgrade-policy-produ ct-announcement1.html).  I got an e-mail saying I was approved.  Under "My Adobe", it showed a receipt for the free upgrade with an order #.  There is a link on the receipt page to download the upgrade but when I click on the link it said I have no download.  I contacted cutomer service a couple of times (phone and chat) and finally I got an e-mail with a serial number for CS6 Design Standard and it said to click on the download link on the receipt.  But now the receipt that was there is gone and I can't download anything.  I contacted customer service again (chat) and they said it should be up in 24 hours.  It's been a week now and I contacted them again (response to open support ticket) and no answer now.  I thought I would download the free trial and use the serial number I got but I can only find a download for CS6 Design Premium, not Standard.  SO, where can I get a download for CS6 Design Standard or an upgrade to the same from CS5??  I have a serial number from Adobe but no place the download the program.
    I went ahead and registered the CS6 serial number I got from the [email protected] e-mail and now it shows up as a registered product.  It shows: 
    ADOBE DESIGN STANDARD     6    Win    June 30, 2012
    with the serial number underneath. 
    I looked around to see if a download link would show up now, but I still can't find anything.  Any ideas?
    (I originally posted this under the trial downloads section but moved it to here since it seems more appropriate).

    Thank you for the help.  I finally got it all installed.  It only took 3 weeks to get this done.  You have been very helpful, but Adobe has been extremely unhelpful.  I'm not sure if you work for Adobe, but if you do let management know their customer support is lacking in many ways.  Sorry for the editorial.

    You can also copy the installation files to a USB drive on a computer which does have an optical drive.

  • Is there a download available of Adobe Design Standard CS4?

    Hi there,
    I bought the Adobe Design Standard CS4 package a few years ago. Now I got a new MacBook Pro since a couple of days, but I can't find a downloadlink of de Design Standard CS Package on the website. Since I haven't got any DVD reader in my MacBook, I can't install the Adobe programs. Is there a downloadlink available for Adobe Design Standard CS4? I already tried to use my serial number in the Adobe Design Premium CS4 version, but that didn't work.
    Hope somebody has a solution that works!
    Michael

    Download CS4 products
    I bought the Adobe Design Standard CS4 package a few years ago.
    I presume you bought the Mac version back then. If so your serial number will work OK on the new MacBook Pro.
    If you got the Windows version then your serial number will not work on your Mac.

  • I have a long list of gibberish files, in Preferences, in my Library. What are they? How did they get there? Can I delete them?

    I have a long list of gibberish files, in Preferences, in my Library. What are they? How did they get there? Can I delete them without causing a problem?

    Here is one thing I found googling for WebEx:
    http://www.webex.com/why-webex/overview.html
    (The x64 would most likely mean 64 bit). It may be a Windows based application/plugin, but since I had never heard of either, I'm only guessing there. If you do a search systemwide for it and don't find it plus don't know why it's there, I'd say throw it in the trash (don't empty it yet - make a note of the file path just in case you do have something installed that needs it so you can move it back).
    Glad to hear it's not a torrent; some people use those not realizing that quite often there is a price to pay for downloading stuff for free that costs money elsewhere - the software packages quite often include little "add-ons" = malware which you really don't want.

  • Can't delete design note

    I can only start my iBookG4 after deleting preferences. I have to go into single user mode to do so. If I don't go into single user mode, the computer shuts down during boot up. What might be the problem? How can I fix this?

    I do not have a startup disk. I did try fsck (based on what I learned from your reply-thank you). This failed (fsck); here is the message:
    ** Checking catalog file.
        Invalid key length
    (4, 8198)
    ** Volume check failed.
    /dev/rdisk03 (hfs) EXITED WITH SIGNAL 8.
    I am sure this is an easy fix; I just have no clue how.
