Cc2014 most buggy update ever

I need to complain about the June cc 2014 update . I started experiencing many crashes in premiere and ae. I read many treads about others in big problems too.
Bottom line adobe must take much more  care and not release updates when they are not ready. The features benefits are totally useless when the apps are so unstable
I am actually looking at ways of asking for a refund for  the l last 4 months.
I will be forever anxious when updating from now on.

FWIW, I have Mavericks running flawlessly on two
of my Macs.
If the majority of people used some basic concepts
like these before updating, most issues would not happen:
1.  Clean up any problems that currently exist.  If there are
      general system issues or issues related to certain apps,
      they are likely to get worse after upgrade.  This includes
      the minor nusaince issues that one may have.
2.  Make sure all applications are up to date.  This is one
      that many people ignore or simply refuse to do for many
      reasons.  If you don't want to update your apps, don't
      upgrade the OS.
3.  Make sure any third party drivers for hardware are compatible
     or have new drivers available.  Again, if there are no compatible
      drivers available, don't update.
4.  For those that rely on a computer for a paycheck, backup all
     data and have a plan in place to return the machine to its pre-ugrade
     state (clones or Time Machine which of the two clones seem more
     reliable for this purpose).  This should must be done on a regular basis
      any way for any business as anything can go wrong at anytime.
5.  Do a general "house cleaning".  If you have apps that haven't been
     used in a long time, completely uninstall them.  Some application developers
      like to spread things all over a system, so make sure all fragments are removed.
I will admit there are bugs in any OS upgrades, but following the above
can greatly reduce the risk of a majority of issues.

  • Bridge CS3 ver 2.1.0.100 most  buggy bridge ever

    With previous versions of bridge for CS3 I had occasional problems. The most vexing was that some Canon xti Camera raw files (CR2) and dng files could not have their file info changed via bridge. When I would right click on these files, the file menu that came up would lack the choice for modifying file information. It was impossible for these few files to use bridge CS3 to get to fields such as document title, author, author title, description, etc.
    If I opened the same exact files in the bridge for CS2, it was possible to modify file info for every one of them. The problem files when later opened in bridge CS3 would show the file info put into them with the CS2 bridge--the one that worked. It was still impossible however in bridge CS3 to modify the file info for these occasional files.
    I made the great mistake of upgrading to bridge CS3 2.1.0.100. Today I took more than 240 photos. It is not possible to modify the file info for any of them with lousy bridge 2.2.0.100.
    The new version also crashes much more often,simply disappearing without any error messages.
    In addition, at least some photos whose file info could be accessed via the older version of bridge CS3, no longer allow such access under the newest bridge version.
    The new bridge version is a massive step backward.
    Open challenge to Adobe--I will be happy to send you 200 plus problem files that only work properly with older versions of bridge. You could use them to fix bridge.

    I have found CS3 less buggy that I expected.
    I have found "Bridge CS3" outstanding, but no doubt, some will experience problems.
    Experience is great teacher
    But I do keep CS2 on my machine for those times I cannot wait for whatever fix might be necessary.
    Do not worry.
    The problems many are having, whatever that may be, and it is somewhat varied, will most likely be worked out in CS4.
    I contribute many of these problems to be lack of control over the hardware that the software must function on. Windows vs. Mac ideologies rear their heads here. I use Windows and that is definitely my problem.
    Get used to it.
    CS4 whatever = CS3 whatever with most problems fixed.
    CS3 = CS2 with most CS2 problems worked out with some tool palette changes users have been asking for years, along with "some" real graphic ability improvement, along with some abilities that probably > 80% of us will never use. Better camera support in Camera RAW.
    Most all of this depends on how much money you have to devote to Photoshop, its upgrades , and the cost of the demands for appropriate hardware.
    Note:
    I was just using the "spelling checker". On this forum "Photoshop" is an unrecognized word. It wants to spell it:
    "Photo shop"
    or
    "Photos hop"
    Go figure.
    Just my 2 bit opinion which wouldn't buy you a cup of coffee or anything else.

  • Has Mavericks been the most buggy update yet?

    How is everybody doing who updated to Mavericks from a previous version?
    It seem to me it has more bugs and glitches when comparing to any of the previous major updates (of which I have done 5).
    It is just me or did others get hurt as well?

    FWIW, I have Mavericks running flawlessly on two
    of my Macs.

  • StarWalk compass stopped working with their most recent update.

    My favorite application on my iPad used to be Starwalk. Ever since their most recent update on April 30, the internal compass stopped working (which is basically the backbone of the entire app). I contacted Vito technology (the developer) - it took a long time to get a response, but after several efforts they finally replied that there was a flaw in the iPad's internal Magnetometer, that it had nothing to do with their software, and there was nothing they could do about it - I should take it up with Apple. The app worked perfectly until their most recent update. I looked at their reviews/comments and numerous people were making the exact same complaint, and everyone said it stopped working as the result of the April 30 Starwalk update. I have one friend with a 3G iPad and the app still works fine for him. I have another friend with a wiFi version like me, and the app ALSO stopped working for him on April 30. So I understand not all iPads are affected.
    So am I supposed to take this up with Apple now and tell them there is a flaw in their magnetometer that caused StarWalk to break as of their last update, and see if they can fix all our devices?
    I don't believe Vito's assertion that their software is not at fault (considering so many people are complaining in their negative reviews that the last update triggered this breakage).
    I'm frustrated and wonder if anyone else is experiencing this. Starwalk used to be my favorite app, and its even more frustrating to listen to the developer tell me its a device flaw that's been there all along, when me and many other people all had simultaneous magnetometer problems develop on April 30 - the moment we installed their last update.

    Just that I have the latest from April 30 and there are no updates that are available to me. I guess you have the wifi only version as I do? I can't quite figure out why this would be affecting some people and not others. If you go to the StarWalk page on iTunes you'll see the list of people complaining about the same thing. In iTunes it also says my iPad software is up to date (I assume that means the OS/firmware).
    So do you guys think this is something I take up with StarWalk or Apple? I feel a little ripped off that Vito has sold me a $6 app (granted that is not much) that has stopped working, and they are telling me its a flaw in the device.
    I'll paste the response I received from Vito below. Bear in mind that although they say this has nothing to do with their software, all of the people who are complaining had a functioning app before April 30, and it stopped working as soon as we made that update.
    Thank you for taking time to send us your feedback, it is highly appreciated.
    In specific circumstances iPhone/iPad digital compass (magnetometer) may operate with difficulties, essentially causing errors in all applications that rely on its data.
    Unfortunately, we cannot fix this particular problem, because it is caused by the digital compass malfunction and has nothing to do with our software. However, we are happy to offer you directions which may help you avoid experiencing this inconvenience in the future.
    For better functioning of the digital compass consider doing the following:
    1) Tilt your device from landscape to portrait orientation several times. This will help the digital compass recalibrate itself and calculate current position.
    2) Make sure the compass is not obstructed by thick walls of buildings or large amounts of metal nearby. Try going outside.
    3) Consider trying again later. Sometimes it is unclear what may be influencing the magnetometer.
    If you need more information, please read the magnetometer specifications below.
    We hope that these simple instructions were of help. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.
    Sincerely,
    Vito Technology Support Team
    For more information:
    Wikidia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_compass :
    "A magnetometer is a scientific instrument used to measure the strength and/or direction of the magnetic field in the vicinity of the instrument. Magnetism varies from place to place and differences in Earth's magnetic field (the magnetosphere) can be caused by the differing nature of rocks and the interaction between charged particles from the Sun and the magnetosphere of aplanet. Magnetometers are a frequent component instrument on spacecraft that explore planets."

    I have a 3rd gen iPod touch and I downloaded the most recent itunes, ever since I did, only the first song syncs to the ipod. As soon as it gets to the second, it still says its syncing. However, nothing happens. How do I fix this? I have restored and updated the ipod. I have the new iTunes. I have restarted my computer checked the connection and everything.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.

  • Shuffle icon from most recent update rendered next to useless !!

    I love my 64g touch very much. I do construction work & it is vital to the work day. Well since the most recent update which i downloaded & installed like 2 weeks ago the "shuffle" icon is a choice between either shuffle or repeat 1 song over & over for eternity. Before the it was a choice between loop album (?)(which is what i need to get again), loop 1 song, or shuffle. Before this most recent update i was able to click a very small icon that sat above the displayed album cover & set "shuffle" to my liking by clicking the icon, NOW I CANNOT !! Now i get 1 of 2 settings, either the repeat 1 song for eternity setting (which has got to be the most useless setting ever) or the completely random shuffle of which i have no control or desire to use. I SIMPLY WANT TO LOOP THE ENTIRE ALBUM THAT I AM LISTENING TO LIKE I USED TO BE ABLE TO DO JUST 2 WEEKS AGO (but then my 2 year old son messed with my ipod & i lost the setting that i liked))!!
    Please help !! Thank you

    Ok, just to help anyone else who might face tis situation:
    I was wrong!! The blue or white loop selection icon is still there. Take your iPod & hold it so the longer side is standing up vertically, get it so that you can see an album cover while a song is playing, underneath the second counter on the left side of the screen there will be a loop (either white or blue), tap it. This will give you one of 3 settings, here are there descriptions:
    Full Blue Loop: Continuous loop of current album or playlist
    Full Blue Loop with a small 1: Loop 1 song
    White Loop: Loop is now off.
    I hope this helps someone out there !! I broke down & went to the apple store & got help, i couldnt find the answer here (or so i thought lol!!).

  • Worst update ever - my computer loads slowly, is incredibly sluggish, and totally unusable.

    TThis has to be the worst update ever. My Mac (if it loads...50% success), boots slowly, is incredibly sluggish, and completely unusable.

    Don't shout. Yes, we will be seeing an update soon. Version X.1 is always released just a few weeks after the initial release. Apple tries to repair the most disruptive bugs in that first update, and does more finetuning in the second, which usually is released about two or three months after the initial release. That's the usual routine.
    On some Mac's people seem to have performance issues like yours. I understand your not happy, but I suggest you'll be patient some more and update when 10.1 or 10.2 comes out. When it does run smooth on your machine, you'll find out it's the best upgrade (it's an upgrade, not an update) since many years.
    Do as Canyonlight wrote in the fourth entry of this topic. Just use you backup and go back to Mavericks and wait it out. Nothing wrong with that. Upgrading is not a necessity but a choice.

  • I just tried to install the 11.4 update (or whichever one is the most recent update as of 1/26/2014) and when it failed i tried to install manually and now whenever i try to use it, i get the following error: the application has failed to start because MS

    i just tried to install the 11.4 update (or whichever one is the most recent update as of 1/26/2014) and when it failed i tried to install manually and now whenever i try to use it, i get the following error: "The application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." Right after i click ok i then get this error: "Itunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall Itunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)." I tried to uninstall Itunes and then reinstall the 11.03 version but that didnt work either. I want to know if i copy all of the music in my itunes folder to an external without consolidating can i still transfer all my itunes music from my current windows xp pc to a brand new one and have my current itunes library in my new pc? Basically i just want to know 3 things: What exactly does consolidating the itunes library do? Can i copy, paste, and transfer my itunes library to an external and from there to a new pc? Will i be able to transfer my itunes library without consolidating the files?

    I have found a temporary solution, allowing the previous version of iTunes (v. 11.1.3 (x64) in my case) to be re-installed.  It will allow you to re-establish use of iTunes until the Apple software engineers fix the most recent disasterous upgrade (v. 11.1.4).  Please see and follow the procedure in the following article:http://smallbusiness.chron.com/reverting-previous-version-itunes-32590.html   The previous version works beautifully.

  • Downloading images used to go automatically to the last folder used to save images, even when reopening Firefox. In just the past few days, possibly coinciding wih the most recent updates, the folder defaults to the 'Downloads' folder. This is most annoyi

    Downloading images used to go automatically to the last folder used to save images, even when reopening Firefox. In just the past few days, possibly coinciding wih the most recent updates, the folder defaults to the 'Downloads' folder. This is most annoying. What happened? Internet Explorer 8.0 did the same thing. This was one of the reasons why I started using Firefox to download all images. I went into Tools>Options and it only lets me set another folder. I dont want to set a specific folder I want it to always go to the last folder used. So what gives?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == possibly when the most recent updates were installed, a few days ago

    Thanks jscher 2000. I guess I didn't make it clear. "It restarts with all the addons activated, and resumes with the tabs that were open before closing it." IE, it's running fine now with all the extensions activated. Everything is OK now.
    So something in the Firefox code was causing the bad behavior. It's not essential that I find out what the problem was - I'm just curious. And if anybody else has this same problem, it might be nice to have it corrected at the source.

  • HT6162 My phone will not let me download the most recent update for iOS 7.1. It says I need a wifi connection and will not allow me to push the 'Download & Install' button, even when I am at home and my wifi is on. How do I fix this?

    My phone will not let me download the most recent update for iOS 7.1. It says I need a wifi connection and will not allow me to push the 'Download &amp; Install' button, even when I am at home and my wifi is on. How do I fix this?

    Unfortunately yes, though technology would never move on if it kept to older standards and did not strive to do more.
    The app store always gives you the option to use a previous version of the app IF it is available for your device.
    Sorry but you are stuck without new hardware.

  • The most recent update to IOS 6.0.1 Eliminated My View of Google Calendars in the Calendar List in my IPAD

    Since I primarily use Google Calendars, I need to see my Gcalendars on my IPad and could until I added the most recent update of IOS6.0.1 and now they are gone.  I was told by Apple sales people when converting to Apple products IPHONE, MACBOOK PRO and IPAD that they were competely compatible with Google calendars, contacts and mail.  It seems there is a push to force people to use ICloud which I for many reasons won't use.  Primarily, I have eight calendars in my Google account that I need to see on my IPAD and IPHONe for business.  Why would this not be available to google users anymore?  Also not being able to invite attendees when creating calendar events is also very limiting. Come On Apple, give people free access to their information from all their devices.

    LOL! - you poor bugger, Ognyan!
    I'm starting to serihously think this phone has been jailbroken... I've got a senior technical support advisor at Apple who is working on the case. He has gone through everything he can possibly think of, but won't take "no" for an answer.
    At the moment, he has logged everything with the Engineering Department, who is going to look into it further using the IMEI number and see what they come up with. If worse comes to worse, Apple will apparently replace the phone for a fee. The problem is that it is 800+ days out of warranty...
    Anyway, we'll see how we go. If anybody has got any ideas about this, please continue to provide answers. I appreciate all responses
