Creative Cloud and Mavericks OSX

I recently purchased 2 new iMacs with Mavericks OSX. InDesign is super slow, it takes forever to complete the most simple tasks. Photoshop is slow too. SO PAINFUL!! It takes way too long to create or edit projects. Both computers are custom ... built with Mavericks, so unfortunately downgrading the OS is not an option for me. Is there anything I can do to get things back to normal and running smoothly? Please help!!!

InDesign "appears" to be working better since installing the 9.2 update. However, the update has created a new problem – I can no longer print to my printer. Initially it appeared to be a problem with certain fonts or a linked image. I tried printing a document that I printed just prior to the update and printed it with success. I  then created a new document, retypeset the information using the same typeface and the document printed with success (copy and pasting same text into a new document did not work).  After about an hour or so, I was no longer able to print anything at all!! I cannot print emails, the document I printed just before and right after the 9.2 update. I tried updating the OS from 10.9 to 10.9.1 in hopes it would resolve this new print issue caused by the Adobe CC 9.2 update but I am still unable to print. 
Note to self ... DO NOT UPGRADE during your busiest time at work! I thought updrading during a 2 week window of holiday downtime would be enough time to sort out most or all the kinks. However, in all my years of graphic design, I've never upgraded computers, operating systems and new software ALL at the same time. Talk about SENSORY OVERLOAD!!! I have 2 weeks left of my busy season and I'm trying to keep a positve outlook, but fast becoming anxiety-ridden with all of these obstacles and three time-sensitive deadlines due in exactly nine business days.
I am not a computer expert, so I have a great appreciation for the wonderful and informative posts made by those who particpate in Adobe's and also Mac forums.   Has anyone run into printing issues since installing the Adobe CC 9.2 Update?
Another important detail / hence not an expert ... I am not exactly sure how my printer has been working with my new Mavericks OSX iMac. Xerox has not released a driver update for the Phaser 6180 yet, but somehow it has been working just fine over the past 3 weeks.
Thank you in advance for anyone's help!

  • Acrobat keeps crashing after installing through creative cloud and Im at a loss!

    I had Acrobat installed before I purchased creative cloud and it worked fine.  Ever since I installed it through creative cloud I can't get it to work. It launches, and lets me scan though a few pages with the page down and then just quits unexpectedly.
    I've updated all the software as it has come through application manager. I need to be able to get into the software and edit some PDFs for a client but Im at a loss as to what it could be.

    Thanks Cathrine, looking forward to what you find out.
    We have purged the system of all adobe files using adobe cleaner and have re-installed after fixing permissions and other minor disk issues, and then running a full course of maintenance and cleaning tasks with Oynx but still no luck.
    We too have no real use for Reader, but in the moment all we needed to do was open a pdf but Reader had the same sympoms as Acrobat, thank god for Preview!

  • Adobe creative cloud and CS6 Illustrator download was a disaster

    After downloading Adobe creative cloud and CS6 Illustrator my system wwent into crash mode with one error after another. Had no less than 4 blue screens of death (BSOD) and I had to do restore but lost most of my files and cannnot get them back. What say you? I unistalled any leftover CC and CS6 illustrator thereafter.

    We can't know. You have not provided any relevant technical info like system specs and the actual crash logs. just saying that it crashes is pretty useless.

  • Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite: New Choices for Customers

    Adobe has announced the new Cloud-based model for software distribution, along with new terms for boxed product upgrade eligibility. Beginning with the CS6 releases, when they happen, upgrade pricing on boxed products will only be availble one generation back. There is a limited window to upgrade now to the current versions at a discount.
    See http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2011/11/adobe-creative-cloud-and-adobe-creative-suite -new-choices-for-customers.html

    Eugene:
      Based on the current information we have (from the blog post), which may not be correct and which you should not rely upon:
    There is some confusion about the word "discount." As used in the blog post, in general there are no "discounts" for upgrades, there is the upgrade price and there is full price. But, also in the blog post, there is a special "discount upgrade" if you choose to upgrade to CS5.5 today (prior to Dec. 31, 2011), which is 20% off the regular upgrade. However, Peter used the word "discount" to distinguish between upgrade pricing and full price. It's probably a good idea to avoid using that word there because of the potential for confusion.
    I have CS5 InDesign in work. So I will be able to upgrade that to CS6 when it comes out at the discount price?
    You will be able to upgrade to CS6 at upgrade pricing. Not the 20% discount, but it is "discounted" from the full price of CS6.
    I'm still using CS2 Illustrator and Photoshop, for the little work I do in those programs, they're fine. But if I want to upgrade them to CS6 I have to pay the full amount of an upgrade, with no discount... or will I have to pay for CS6 in full for both of these programs?
    You will have to pay the full price (not the "full amount of an upgrade," whatever that means).
    If you elect to upgrade to CS5.5 prior to Dec. 31 of this year, however, then then you can pay the discounted upgrade price to upgrade to CS5.5 (well, CS5 since Photoshop CS5.5 doesn't exist), and then you can pay the CS6 upgrade price in March/April. So you can pay for no upgrades (full price) or two upgrades (one of which is 20% off).
    At the moment I can upgrade CS2, photoshop and Illustrator for €240 each, to CS5. So wouldn't I just be able to do that now and then buy the CS6 upgrade at a much later date perhaps just before CS7 comes out?
    Yes, you can do that.
    If CS6 has the tools to basically go "File>Export>Epub" and I get a fully working epub file without having to trash about in code afterwards or make complex tagging in InDesign, then I'll be buying it.
    It looks like EPUB is evolving pretty fast, so even if ID CS6 fully supports what you want out of EPUB on Day 1, I bet you'll need to be prepared to postprocess it on Day 2. Or at least long before Day 200.

  • Just purchased Adobe Creative Cloud and InDesign says start trial?

  • I am using creative cloud and it does not sync between my two computers

    I have two macs running Adobe Creative Cloud services. However, when I save files to my creative cloud from either computer they are not available on the other computer when accessing the creative cloud . They don't sync instantly like Dropbox- which I am hoping to replace with Creative Cloud. Is there a solution? Again I am wanting to upload files from either computer to Creative Cloud and have them instantly available.
    Thank you,
    Dave

    Ok. Never mind. I figured it out.

    I have Lightroom 6 (not CC) on a Windows machine.  I'm prompted to log into Creative Cloud when I restart my computer (I don't have, use, or pay for Creative Cloud), and then when I launch Lightroom, it tells me to use the application I have to log into my Adobe account...AGAIN!  And then to further add insult to injury, I'm prompted to enter in the license number of my product.  I've gone through this process a dozen times now...SCREAM!!!

    Paulou12 what type of a Creative Cloud Membership do you have?  You can find details on how to update Lightroom using the Creative Cloud Desktop application at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.
    Finally if you are in a managed environment then please work with your I.T. department to apply the update.

  • How do I unsubscribe from Adobe Creative Cloud and cancel my Adobe ID? I tried going to "Cancel my membership" on their site but it just takes me in a full circle and I end up back at "Cancel my membership" again.  Is this a ploy to not let go of potentia

    How do I unsubscribe from Adobe Creative Cloud and cancel my Adobe ID? I have tried numerous times going to "Cancel my membership" on their site but it just goes through several steps and ends up where I began (i.e. Cancel my membership). Why is it so difficult to unsubscribe? Thks for any advice. Lavandula

    Adobe contact information will not help You. The Finnish sites are making the same loop. The worst thing is that they have send me e-post telling that my membership will continue after first year automatically with 60 % higher price. I don't need do anything I will not continue the membership. It seems impossible to end it. The onlys solution seems to be close the credit card.

  • How many times can I download from Adobe Creative Cloud, and on how many computers

    I just purchased a one month plan from Adobe Creative Cloud and already downloaded several programs.  Unrelated to Adobe, I reinstalled the operating system on my computer today.  I just downloaded the programs again.  Is there a limit on how many times I can download Adobe software?   I also am planning on purchasing another computer down the road.  How many computers can I download Adobe software from my current Adobe Creative Cloud membership. 
    Thanks-

    You can download and install it as many times as you like but you must activate it in order to use it.
    You can only activate the software on a maximum of two computers at any one time.
    You can deactivate on a computer via Help > Deactivate and re-activate via the same step.

  • Looking into starting a business using creative cloud and business catalyst

    Hi,
    I am just looking for a bit of clarification on a few things. I am looking at using Creative cloud and Business Catalyst for a new business.
    Firstly, if I have both a Mac and a PC, will one creative cloud subscription allow me to install on both?
    Secondly, with Business Catalyst if I am wanting to make more than 5 websites, do I have to use the partner plan? or is this just if I want to make comission? Basically can I pay individually for subscriptions to more than 5 sites on behalf of customers without paying the initial partner fee while I am starting up? Obviously long term the partner option makes sense but short term for start up it would be useful to just sell the adobe subscriptions without earning comission. Hope this makes sense?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Adam

    Hi Adam,
    I'm very happy to hear that you want to start a business using BC and Creative Cloud - this is one of the goals of our integration.
    To you first question, yes, you can install Creative Cloud on both your machines.
    To your second question - you don't need to be a paid partner while you're starting up. You can remain a free partner, and just buy supplemental websites from the Partner portal. You're right, you won't get the comission, but it's a pretty good deal anyway.
    If you're starting up, I also strongly recomment the BCGurus "Zero to BC Hero" training program - not only they explain you the BC product, but they also include a lot of great business insights on running a web agency
    Sincerely,
    Alexandru

  • Creative cloud and Photoshop so slow as to be unusable.

    I have been having an ongoing problem with both Creative Cloud and Photoshop. Both programs have slowed down to the point of being inoperable. For example, it takes 1-5 minutes just to choose a tool in Photoshop. When either of these programs are open, it slows the entire computer to a snails pace. It was all working fine until about 2 months ago, when it suddenly stopped. I don't recall if there was an update at the time of the slowdown. The only change I remember making was adding some Kyle Webster brushes, but I removed those and the problem still exists.
    I have run a number of diagnostics and virus scans on my computer, and all show no problems with it. (I have a mid 2010 iMac) So far, I have increased the memory to 16 GB, reset the preferences in photoshop, and checked the other things listed on the help site. I have tried to uninstall/ reinstall both Photoshop and Creative cloud using the adobe cleaner app a number of times. With the assistance of some help center employees, the system preferences have been reset, we have cleared the .tmp files, created a new administrator user and tried to open it in that user to test if it is a permission problem. Nothing has worked and the problem seems to be getting worse. Does anyone have any ideas on what might be going wrong, or something else I can try? I am a designer with a growing backlog of work that needs this program, so I really need to solve this problem quickly.
    Thank you!!!
