CC save locks out CS6. It's pay forever from now on.

It's official, the handcuffs went into effect with CC's release. Files saved in CC will not open in CS6. The scheme works and forces existing users trying to stay current with their tools into Adobe's pay forever scheme. Yes there is IDML workaround but that is hardly a solution or group friendly, let along long term viable. I am stunned that CC actually shipped with this scheme still in place.
So today it begins. We have no choice but to give Adobe managers 100% control to stop access to our work, our long loved tools, and let Adobe hold anyone hostage at any moment for more money with a simple change to the ULA, or glitch.  It's pay whatever the current keymasters decide, whenever they demand it, or lose everything.  I am sick to my stomach. 
Adobe, how could you do this to us, after 10+ years of devotion to building you up?  Don't give me that story that it's too hard to support both CC as standalone and as Cloud, that is just a plain lie. Why not dump about 75% of the worthless apps added for "value" and use those resources. CS6 lags behind but sold forever is stupidity too, while we watch CC engineering efforts grow. This is disgusting. Excuse me, I need to go throw up.

While I don't like the new CC model, which version of ID ever allowed opening its files in a previous version natively?
No one is forcing me to sign-up to CC. Not one previous customer has indicated they are moving forward with CC. Heck, most of my ID customers are using 5.5, maybe a third are using CS6. Should I get a new customer requiring CC, I'll pay for the use of it and drop it when the deliverables have been handed over. I don't like that this is how I will need to handle it, but I'll cross those roads as I come to them.
Adobe is under no obligation to make my life easy in the use/licensing of their software. Just like I get to make decisions that better my businesses in my POV, they do too. We both get to deal with the fall-out for those decisions.
Take care, Mike

  • Screen Saver Lock-out

    Our WMS 2011 Premium server boots and then after the association of the mouse and keyboard the screen saver starts and then simply moves when the mouse moves or the keyboard is touched.  
    There is no way to get around the screen saver and the system is not accessible from any other station.
    We can start the system in safe mode and log in, but not apply changes or update the system.

    I had this happen to me and I ended up solving it by disassociating my LAN client, installing all of my USB stations, and then associating my LAN client again. Evidently, when the LAN client was connecting, my system would lock up. By adding all of my USB
    stations first and then the LAN stations last, it solved the issue for me.
    Also, I experience screensaver lockup when my Windows was set to put my monitors into sleep mode after a minute. I turned that off in the USB Power settings and the lockup went away. With this issue, I could turn off the client and turn it back on to jump
    start the system.
    Also, have you looked at this link to see if the SRCShell user account has been deleted?With WMS2010, at least, Microsoft says you'll have log-in issues if that account is deleted.

  • HT201441 iphone lock out - Left me stranded 50 Mile from home, THANKS APPLE!!

    I am frustrated beyond words at the iphone support and development team for not giving advance warning to users that the OS on our devices is expiring..
    I was over an hour away in a major city enjoying a drive in move with my family, when my wife's device gets a white screen asking her to activate her device. There was NO warning of any kind that the device's OS was expiring or that any sort or activation was or should be needed.
    After sever failed attempts including using my working iphone 5 as a hotspot, we decided to wait till we got home and use the WINDOWS PC to restore it.
    Once the movie was over we go to wake up my device to find the same issue, now we are over 50 miles away needing to navigate HEAVY construction across a major metroplex with NO access to my devices features besides emergency calls. We did find the way home however, now we find out that we're unable to use iTunes to activate the devices, Verzion says its a known issue and we need to contact apple and apple is closed...
    This brings up an important issue, the device needs to have EMERGENCY GPS\MAPS\Navigation functions.
    Since I cannot even call a friend I should at least be able to use the maps function with manual input support (no contact list or history access for privacy).
    Thanks again I really though you should also know I am really considering NOT purchasing the 5s 64 to replace my 5 64, I was going to pass this one to my son and get the latest, however, it seems you company is getting SLOPPY and perhaps losing focus on the customers, not just general customer service but our Safety and well being,

    Not sure what your issue is, iOS or Apple products do not have an expiry date. Your service contract with your cellular provide however could expire. Since it happened to 2 phones I would still be questioning the cellular provider.

  • Why am I locked out of viewing my latest posts from June 5th

    I did a series of Blanket posts for help with composer work. when I went on to view them on the different Apple Forums the next day I found that when logging in a page came up saying
    Error
    An error has occurred. We apologize for the inconvenience.
    Useful links:
    Forum Home -- browse the forums here.
    Search Forums -- visit the search page to query all forum content.
    When clicking onto the Forums I can then access the Apple forums of my choice . However when I click onto viewing my questions and the page with all my recent questions comes up that I did I find that when clicking on any of them I get this
    Error
    Error: you do not have permission to view the requested forum or category.
    why is this when I have not changed anything in my log on settings like Password etc. The most annoying thing is that there doesn't appear to be a web address of any web master or Host to which you can take this issue to. So I apologise ahead of time as this is not a logic thing or is it as if I am being suddenly for no apparent reason stopped from participating in the forum with you guys then maybe just maybe it is an issue that Logic users need to be aware of

    it a lot more sinister than that the messages I posted before the date I was able to access my posts I can even access this post no problem its just this set of posts I did over the 4 & 5th of June

  • Locked out of email account

    Rang help desk wednesday15th July 5pm to advise i am locked out of email account upon return from OSWas advised yes, I was locked out due to hack attempt and that I would receive call/email (to gmail account) with 48 hrs to advise on how I could gain access to email account.Rang Thurs 16th July to again se how it was going, was told to wait untill Fri 17th for information to be sent.Used live chat to help desk 17th July 5pm to see what was going on.Yes, I am locked out and I would be advised within 4 business days of what was happening.4 business days with weekend = 1 week. And that was just to tell me what was going on, not an actual fix.This is my business email.I have 3 weeks of emails from clients, contractors and customers awaiting my action.I have wasted 3 plus hours trying get a answer.This is a problem of Telstras making.There is no weather issue holding up fix. There is no cable or harware that needs a tech to go and fix. This is a procedual problem that suits Telstras insterests, not mine. Telstra seems unwilling to fix this problem.Any attempt to have it escallated or get someone to call me that can solve the problem is refused.Appalling. 

    DrQwuerty90, tried the complaints way, no luck, again just got the service rep repeating back what was on his screen.4 business is not to solve, it was 4 business days to advise what was going on.4 business days to solve a internal process fault that they control?Really? This is the best they can do? No work around, no offer to help setup a alternative email account, to redirect email to this? Is it that hard?Telstra is more interested in observing it's processess, not reviewing them to assist customers or intervening in these processes.I'm just a small business who has to bow and scrape to the almighty process that Telstra has decreed is written in stone and wow to any one who dares says.."This is not good enough"Off to Ombudsman

  • I seem to have had my CS6 locked out by a copy of CC that I did not request. can you help to resolve it so I get my CS6 back please

    A month ago I started getting messages when I opened CS6 asking me to continue a trial of Photoshop CC I had not requested this. It seems that it may have come down via an update.
    Today I cannot open CS6 and get the message from CC to buy the product which I do not want.
    Is there any way of getting back to my installation of CS6.
    Thank you
    John Haslehurst

    Paul cb.  I get the same error message (9), which relates to an apparent dropping of the USB connection.  I have now tried 3 different usb cables on 2 different mac's, same result.
    Reading as much as I can understand, there appears to be a dependance on an SHSH signature file. I have never Jailbroken any of my apple hardware, but there is much information that can be gleaned from the associated writings.
    I am not a genius my any means, but it appears as though (iMhO) that somehow the files (or some of them) on the iPad have become corrupted and the all important SHSH file is not there. This causes iTunes to have no reference point for restoring the iPad.  Also, it is not possible to force a new firmware (Option click restore in itunes) without an SHSH file, this results in an error that says that the iPad is not eligible for this version ...  or something like that.
    MY problem is that in Dubai we do not have an Apple Genius bar and that you guys and gals are the closest I will get to an Apple Genius.  The iPad was purchased for me in the States when my daughter was visting there so, I am pretty much sitting on a brick right now ...  (my wife has annexed my iPad 2 until I can fix her iPad 1 ....  sighs).
    Unless there are any other tactics that you guys can suggest (without Jailbreaking) then I think I may be at the end of the road ..
    Thanks for all your help and suggestions.
    Best Regards

  • LOCKED OUT OF MY HP G60 PLEASE HELP ASAP

    Locked my self out of my hp g60 trying to make a new password and now i dont know what i typed , PLEASE HELP

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Using another PC, download the application on the following link and save it to your Downloads folder.
    PC Login Now
    When the download has completed, open your Downloads folder and double-click the installer - this will result in another file appearing which is the disc image ( .ISO ) that you need to burn to a blank CD.
    You will now need to use an application such as ImgBurn to burn this ISO correctly to a blank CD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.
    When the disc has been created, shutdown the PC you can't log-in on, tap away at the esc key as soon as you press the power button to access the Start-up Menu, insert the CD, select Boot Options ( usually f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and hit enter - you may also have to 'Press any key' to boot from the CD if asked.
    Follow the instructions on the guide Here to remove the current password.

  • Locked out! PLEASE HELP!

    Any help would be appreciated greatly! To start, I woke my computer screensaver and it prompted me
    with the login screen, as usual. However, when I typed in my password, the login screen shook as if it
    were wrong. Thinking I may have typed it wrong, I typedit in again...and again...and again....and again.
    Much to my dismay, it was not accepting my password. I hadn't changed it or fiddled with any of the settings
    prior to this happening. So, thinking it might be confused, I held down the power button and shut it off. Rebooting it, I was prompted again with the login. This time, it no longer showed my username. Just two blank fields. I typed in my user name, which I know as well, and my password. Still that littled prompt screen shakes in refusal. Now I am not a mac expert and I only know enough to just barely get by if problems come up. Knowing I am ignorant as to how to go about fixing this, I used my sister's computer to look around for answers. I found out I could use the mac OS X installation disk to try and reset the password.
    This ended in defeat as well.
    I clicked on my hard drive, selected my user in the dropdown and typed in the password (the same one I've always used. (Maybe that's the problem?) Everything seemed fine and I rebooted to see if the installation disk had fixed the problem. I ran into the two blank fields again. Nothing I typed in, all passwords I would ever use and different ways of typing my name, and they still refused the info I typed in.
    Booting up on the installation disk again, thinking I could try and change the password again, I was met with another horror: the dropdown said there were no users on my disk to choose from. This is where DiskWarrior comes in. I owe this software everything! I used it and found that my data was fine. I even moved my important files off onto an external hard drive just to be safe. While in there, I could even see that my user was completely intact.
    Still, even after trying to rebuild my directory with disk warrior, repairing my disk and permissions with the installation disk, all of which showed problems with my disk and fixed them, I am completely locked out of my computer. I called apple support and tgey said they could try and diagnos it over the phone or I could send it in to them. Mind you, no-one I spoke to knew what the problem was, let alone having heard of it. I'm a little low on cash and I'm not sure I want to pay to have my computer looked at only to find that they don't know what to do. (My computer us almost four years old. It's a tough little ****, having gone through a lot in my care, and it's out of warrentee, meaning the cost of diagnosis would not be covered by apple.)
    I need to know several things:
    1. Has anyone had this problem and solved it? If so, how dud you fix it?
    2. Apple seems to think it's some form of hard drive failure and suggested an archival restore or something, where the computer would reinstall its os without affecting my personal data. Chillingly, they said if that doesn't work, they recomend EARSING THE HARD DRIVE COMPLETELT. That's the last step I ever wish to take, but do you think the archival restore or whatever it's called will solve it?
    3. I did some research on the net, driven to find some way of fixing it at home, and my problem might have something to do with my Keychain. Now not being able to even log in to my computer, is there somehow a wat to access the keychain and alter/fix/erase the login info there?
    4. On the matter of the keychain, several people on the internet have suggested a solution on how to change or bypass the keychain by starting up the computer in single user mode and using programming code. I stress again: I am NOT very good with computers. I'm scared to death that I will do something wrong and mess up my entire computer. Even so, would you recommend I do this? Does my ptoblem sound like It has anything to do with the keychain?
    Thank you in advance. I really hope someone can help or at least give me a clear path to start on.
    Notes:
    My computer is 13" Macbook running Tiger version 10.4.1
    My computer also had a great fall as I stumbled over my cat and ever since, if I tried to lift the laptop While it is on it would shut off or restart. Other than that, my computer worked just fine. But getting it in to have that checked and fixed was on my to do list, but then this happens. Is there a possible connection?

    (My computer us almost four years old. It's a tough little ****, having gone through a lot in my care, and it's out of warrentee, meaning the cost of diagnosis would not be covered by apple.)
    Last I heard, there was "No Charge" for a genius appointment at the Apple Store. Repairing it is something else completely, but I believe they will take 15 minutes to do what they can.

  • Locked out of iMatch:  iMatch/HomeSharing/Apple ID Questions

    I purchased an iTunes Match subscription in November (with my Apple ID).  We recently gave our son an iPod and set him up on a separate Apple ID.  He has a separate log-in on our computer and I used Home Sharing to transfer some songs over to his log-in.  We also transferred over some of his purchased via Home Sharing so that I could save them on our external HD.  Somehow I have lost the ability to use iTunes Match.  It kicked me off and I can't sign back it.  I get a message that the "computer is already associated with an Apple ID and I can't associate this computer for 82 days."  I did not try to set up iTunes match on my sons account.  I only use it for our Apple TV and my iPad.  I don't understand how this got messed up.  I am not happy waiting for 82 days for it to reset itself as I paid for this service.
    Is there anyway I can reset it?
    Is there a way to know what I did to cause this issue?
    Am I not allowed to have another Apple ID (my son) on the same computer? (but a different log-in).
    Am I not suppose to type in his Apple ID on my log-in in order to transfer his purchased on to our HD?
    RESPONSE FROM APPLE:
    Greetings from Apple iTunes Store Customer Support! My name is Sabrish and I will assist you today.
    I understand you have not been able to use iTunes Match as you receive a message "The computer is already associated with an Apple ID and you can't associate this computer for 82 days". I certainly understand your concern.
    Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. I'm sorry, but you will need to wait until
    you have reached that time period so you can associate a different Apple ID.
    For more information, please refer the below article:
    iTunes Store: Associating a device for computer to an Apple ID for Automatic Downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
    I hope the above information is helpful. Thank you for your interest in the iTunes Store. Have a nice day!
    MY RESPONSE SECONDARY TO UNANSWERED QUESTIONS (WITHOUT REPLY)
    Thanks for the response.  I still don't quite understand what I did wrong.  I went to an Apple Store today to discuss this issue and all the techs there were perplexed that I couldn't have more than one Apple ID on my computer.  They said that I should be able to have have multiple log-ins on the computer with each log-in having their own iTunes/Apple Id Account. My wife and I have Apple TV, the computer, an iPad and 2 iPods on our log-in.  We have 3 boys and would like them to have their own iTunes account so they can make individual purchases. 
    So… are you saying this is not possible without messing up my iMatch account?  I did not try to associate iMatch with their device (only my wife's and my devices).
    What do I need to do in the future to keep this from happening again.  I am very upset that I purchased a year long agreement for iMatch and have already been locked out for 90 days for not doing anything that I shouldn't be able to do.  I don't want this to happen again, when the timer resets. 
    Can you please provide me with a solution to having multiple family members who have Apple ID's when I only have one computer.  Do I need to delete their Apple ID account? (seems ridiculous), or did I put this in motion by doing something like hooking up Family Share to their iTunes.
    I fully understand restricting one device to one Apple ID account… but not the computer.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm not sure you can.  This explains the "90-day switch rule": iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID - Apple Support.  You can try contacting iTunes store support to see if they can do anything for you: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

    Apps and Music are not from iCloud. Are from iTunes and App Store.
    You can change this from: Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Sign out and sign in with new ID, but you will have to pay again to download apps that you already have in your old account. Or leave it as it is to share purchases with your son.

  • HT201365 I had to change my email address because I was locked out of my previous address and change my Apple ID password due to the iOS 7 upgrade. Now iCloud will not recognize my new address nor my new password. Everything else on my apple devices accep

    I was forced to change my email address, (was locked out of it). I also was forced to change my Apple password due to the iOS 7 upgrade. Everything on my iPhone and iPad, including iTunes, accepted my new email address change, except iCloud. And because I was forced to change my password, it doesn't recognize my old password or new password either. There is no way I can find to change my email address on iCloud, and so I'm stuck. I cannot delete iCloud account without proper email and password and it still shows my old email and doesn't allow it to be changed.

    If Settings>iCloud is showing your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    Your description of the issue is not clear:
    What format, bit depth and color was your original file "from the net"?  It sounds like it was a Color Indexed GIF, which would cause what you are describing.
    In the Macintosh Finder, select said "net image" and do a Get Info on it (Command+i). When the Info box appears in the Finder, take a screen shot and upload it here by using the little camera icon in the Reply Editor in the forum's web interface.
