CS 5.5 Design Standard installed. Dealing with duplicate software...

So Now I have Bridge CS5 and CS5.1, Device central CS5 and CS5.5 and on and on and on. What is the solution for this? Part of that comes from also having CS5 Web Premium installed earlier on the machine but one would expect that the installer would notice the outdated version and update them rather than having two sets for everything.

Adobe apps always install full new versions. I uninstalled any CS5 apps that weren't updated to CS5.5 before installing CS5.5. I'm not too sure what implications there are in uninstalling those 5.0 apps now. It's been know to cause some damage to the newer applications so I'd just leave them be.

Hi! I've got CS3 Design Standard - the actual disks and Software License certificate. It was installed on my laptop which crashed and could therefore not be uninstalled. I have now installed it on my new MacBook Pro, but cannot get it registered with the serial number. Is it because it wasn't uninstalled on the previous laptop? What to do now?? Thx!

Maybe this can help someone else... I simply had to properly uninstall CS3 and reinstall it again after that. I think that sorted it! I also remember having a similar issue with Macs at work a couple of years back. Not sure whether the same applies to CS5/CS6. Here's a link on how to properly uninstall CS3 on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Mac OS. I'm on OS X 10.9.2 but it worked just fine. Remove Creative Suite 3 and CS3 products

Why don't you call support again and ask if you can have a copy of the discs with your serial number? I don't know if there is a small fee but I prefer to have discs than a download. Then you can try reinstalling.

CS3 Design Standard - install files

I lost my CS3 Design Standard install discs (Windows), and now am in dire need of them in order to transfer the program to another computer. I still have the serial number, so I am just needing a place to get install files from. If any of you have a CS3 Design Std. for Windows disc and would be willling to zip and upload the install files, I'd be very appreciative!

How is the best way to deal with duplicate photos

I am using a new retina 27" iMac 16gb ram OS X 10.10.1
Aperture 3.6
What is the best way to deal with duplicates that get in Aperture Vaults
I have used Gemini and it finds duplicates, but I have no way of telling if the original are still there.
I don't want to go through 15000 photos to try to find the duplicate.
Thanks Charlie

You mean - one image in a vault, one in a library? Or duplicates in the same library?
Photo Sweeper can scan several libraries or folders at the same time and display the duplicates side by side to let you pick which to keep. You can define rules to mark photos for automatic deletion as well.

CS3 Design Standard -PDF Failure with Windows 7

Hi there - I have a new computer with Windows 7. I have installed my CS3 Design Standard and have been using it for over a week. Today I opened one of my large documents (64 pages) and tried to export to a pdf and it won't do it. I have successfully exported single page documents. I sent the Indesign document to my printer who managed to export, no problem. I am desperate for help as I have to get documents to print!! Do I need a plug in?
Thanks for reading. Ali

Adobe Design Standard CS3 compatible with Windows 8pro 64bit?

Hallo, I've just changed my notebook. It has Windows 8 Professional 64 bit.
Is it possibile to install Adobe Design Standard CS3 there?
Thanks

Possibly, but then again maybe not. You won't know until you try. Works without a hitch for some people, is nothing but trouble for others. Depends too much on teh specifics of the system and the Windows configuration used...

Using 'Design Standard' serial number with 'Master Collection' download.

Hey, i was trying to download design standard, but couldnt find it with the download assistant.
The only thing i could see that was a 'collection' was the master collection.
So i asked someone on Adobe live chat wether i could just download master collection then input my design standard serial, and they seemed to think it would work.
When i enter the serial i get the following message:
"We are unable to validate this serial number for CS6 Master Collection. Please contact customer support."
not really sure what to do, will i need to downlaod design standard instead?

i think customer support missed that one.
adobe serial numbers are product specific. you can't activate a trial of one product to a full version of another product.
you need design standard cs6. here it is: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=design_standard
if you have a download assistant issue and need to download directly, follow all 7 steps and dl from here: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html

Tip for dealing with duplicates

Ok we all know it's a big pain in the *** when you get duplicate songs and need to get rid of the duplicates. Especially when you have a LARGE collection like I do.
iTunes clearly has some big shortcoming when detecting and working with duplicates. A lot of the time it'll find stuff that isn't actually a duplicate.
I have some songs that are named the same even though they're not the same song. (Remixes or legitimate duplicates from a "best of..." album or something.)
So I can't just "show duplicates" and delete every other entry indiscriminately. I need a way to go through the list at my leisure (possibly in multiple sittings over several days.) and review all the stuff before I delete it.
Here's a method that makes things easier.
1. Make sure that all your songs have a star rating of at least 1 star. (I default all new songs to my library as 3 stars when importing to itunes and then I raise or lower the stars from my ipod when I listen to them.) If you haven't kept track of your song ratings yet. Give them all a 3 star rating now. The star rating will be used later to select your files to delete.
2. Select your music folder and then select "View/Show Duplicates"
3. From the resulting list, select all songs (Ctrl-A) and then click "File/New Playlist from Selection" Name your new playlist "Suspect dupes" or something
4. Configure your playlist view like this..
* Cover flow on and "View Artwork" on (Selected Item). (You don't want to delete the song with the cover and keep a version with no cover.)
* Make sure you have the following columns visible: Sample rate, Bit rate, Time, Size, Disc #, Track #, Artist, Album, and My Rating. You'll need these to compare the songs.
We now have a playlist which we can refer back to at any time.
Now... If you were to delete files here in this playlist view, all you'd be doing is deleting them from the playlist, and not from your library which is what we want to do.
So...
5. Go back to your library view (Making sure that you've clicked the "Show All" button at the bottom of the window so you're not just seeing the duplicates any more.)
6. Select all the songs in your library (Ctrl-A) and then right mouse button click on the songs and select "Uncheck selection" Which will uncheck every song you have.
7. Go back to your "Suspect dupes" playlist. Everything will be unchecked now. Anything you check while viewing this "Suspect Dupes" playlist will also be checked when you go back to viewing your main library.
8. Here's the tedious part. Go through your "Suspect Dupes" playlist and double click and comparing each potential duplicate. When you find a genuine duplicate that you want to get rid of, Click the box to check the song. Your selections will stay checked even if you close itunes and come back to it another day! (I've been working on my collection for a week now.)
9. When you've finished checking all the ones which are songs you want to get rid of, Go back to the top of the "Suspect Dupes" playlist and scroll through it while Ctrl-Clicking each checked song that's there to highlight the ones you want to get rid of.
10. Once they're all highlighted select "File/New Playlist From Selection" and name the resulting playlist "Delete me" or something. Highlight all the songs in the "Delete me" playlist and then right mouse button click on the songs and select "My Rating/None"
(We do this so that we have a way to recognize these songs when viewing the main library list which is where we can actually physically delete the files to the Recycle Bin from.)
11. Go back to your library view and sort your list by ratings. Highlight all the songs there with a rating of None and then right click to delete them.
12. They're gone, and you're done!
13. As a preventative measure you could Consolidate your library (Advanced/Consolidate Library) and then give all your MP3's a tag in the "Comments" field of something unique like say... "Permanent_File" That way if iTunes should somehow re-add files from somewhere else on your computer again and create more duplicates, you have a way of easily sorting and distinguishing which are the good files and which are ones that you need to delete. (Anything without your "Permanent_File" tag.)
Apple really needs to refine the duplicate detection and make it easier to get rid of them.
* They should make it so that iTunes checks ALL tag info in addition to the song's title when compiling it's list of duplicates.
* There should be a "Select all checked files" option. (So as to avoid the whole star rating thing mentioned above.)
* There should also be an option to remove the files from your library when deleting songs from a playlist view. (eg: A prompt "Delete from this Playlist or Delete from your Library/iPod?"

My pet peeve is that when you have a studio recording
and a live recording of the same song by the same
artist, iTunes considers them to be duplicates.
Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying.
The best way to bring your suggestions to Apple's attention is by submitting the form on this Support page .
I took your suggestion and reffered them to this page. Maybe they'll listen. (Heck I managed to convince the Google Earth team to move the on screen controls to the upper right corner from the bottom center to accomodate dual monitor users.)

CS6 design standard installation fail with no error

I am trying to install my student/staff version of CS6 on my computer (windows 7 prof.) and it keeps failing. The download of the .exe and .rar go fine. I activate the .exe and it creates the extracted file. During the installation (shortly after the windows config) the installation progress window just dissapears but the programs are no where on my computer (searched start menu, windows search, control panel, etc.). There was never any error message given for why the installation didn't work.

Hi,
To solve this problem you must reinstall a clean system Win 7 and then do not forget to update the system with Service Pack 1 for Windows 7.
good luck,

Creative Suite 4 Design Premium install error with Windows 8

This suite has an error when trying to install under Windows 8 Enterprise.
Is there a fix for this?

From what source are you installing? If it's from DVD, you might consider copying over the stuff to the hard drive. For fixing the database issue you may simply run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool. Also some of the locations of the variuous Adobe install related databases are listed here: Important Directories. Delete the .db files where appropriate, then attempt a reinstall.

ITunes - Two Libraries by Mistake on same iMac, How to Amalgamate and Deal with Duplicates?

I'm using iTunes 9.2.1 on a PPC iMac G5 running OS X 10.4.11.
I have previously had lots of problems with a damaged iTunes library: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2009146?threadID=2009146&stqc=true
As a result of this (and I'm not sure how), all music I have added since I got it working again has been stored in a folder called "iTunes Music" (Macintosh HD:Users:Username:Desktop:iTunes Music) which appeared on the Desktop. I also have various iTunes Library files (plus .itdb and .xml files) on the Desktop (I didn't put them there, that's just what appeared).
All music added priror to this is in Macintosh HD:Users:Username:Music:iTunes:iTunes Music.
Everything works in iTunes (as you would expect - it just points to the relevant folder).
I would like to amalgamate the two iTuens Music folders and file all the music in the correct place (wherever that may be) - is there a simple way of doing this?
Another problem I have is duplicated music - I imported into iTunes lots (probably 20+ Gb) of duplicate albums at a higher bitrate than I previously had and deleted the existing lower-bitrate version from iTunes. Unfortunately, I didn't realise that, because of the two iTunes music folders, the older version is still stored in the older folder, even though iTunes isn't using it.
Is there a simple way to identify and remove the older lower-bitrate music from the machine without searching every single album in Spotlight?
I've spent an awfully long time correcting and completing track names, information and artwork in iTunes so I really don't want to lose any of that in the process.
Thanks in advance ...

I totally feel your pain. I too have a similar setup, a G4 running Tiger wherein I ripped my vinyl to a higher bitrate than my CD copies. I have in one of thses threads a script that was written for me that would rummage across the home network and pull down all the lower bitrate copies and move them, but I had a hard drive snafu, ran out of space and never got around to it..
I DO think however, that you can display the bitrate of the files in the list view options within iTunes and sort the files that way, and move the duplicate files you don't want to the trash. From within iTunes.. Let me go fire up the livingroom frankenbox to check..
Yup.. If you use the View Options you can sort through the master list in iTunes by bitrate..
http://imageupper.com/i/?S0300010100011D1344782818223713
Takes a bit to sort out the tracks but it's workable..
As to joining the libraries that you've gotten them cleaned up, you need to drop all the song files into a single folder and let iTunes sort them into the default location. There is a submenu here:
