CS4 bugs that remain or are new since CS3

So far CS4 is proving less of an investment and more of a frustration.
NEW BUGS
1) The package function no longer works for me, it saves links that are PDFs but none of my TIF file links. Similarly, the new "copy link(s)" command in the LINKS palette fails in the same way.
2) When swapping between programs, I can no longer click on an Indesign window to open it if I was in another program, only clicking the very top of the window works now.
3) If I am working with a text box, and I make the text box too small to fit the text in, I can not double or triple click the text to select it and I can not choose "select all" to select the text, now all objects are selected.
OLD BUGS
1) Indesign and Illustrator both fail to quit when I restart causing me to "Force Quit". This problem has persisted since CS3.
Has anything improved? It just seems to have gotten slower. So far, this is a huge disappointment. The program crashes just as much - if not more.

>>>>CS3 file which has a Word table in it and now in CS4 it continually crashes. I can't do anything in it. If I do nothing, it just crashes after about 15 seconds.
One trick that sometimes works for me when there is a file that causes indd to crash is to copy all the objects on a page (note the X,Y coordinates) and paste them into a new document. I would also try converting the table into text while in CS3 in case it is the table that is causing the bug.
It is usually one object on the page that is causing all the grief. If it still crashes, try copying half of all the objects on a page into a new document, and see if it crashes, then try copying the other half of all the objects, that way you can weed out which object is causing the problem.
Rather than do a reinstall of my OSX and CS4, I'm just limping along with the problems. I don't notice them any more except for having to force quit. Sometimes the programs will actually quit when I ask them to but it can take several minutes. To restart my machine, it takes over 5 minutes to quit out of indd, illustrator, photoshop, acrobat and dreamweaver.

  • Need a VB-Script that read a txt-file and only the lines that are new since last time

    Hi,
    I need help to write a VB script that read all new lines since the last time.
    For example:  The script reads the textfile at specific time, then 10 minutes later the script read the file again, and it should now only read the lines that are new since last time. Anyone that has such a script in your scriptingbox?
    cheers!

    Based on the excellent idea by Pegasus, where is a VBScript solution. I use a separate file to save the last line count read from the file, then each time the file is read I update the line count. Only lines after the last count are output by the program:
    Option Explicit
    Dim strFile, objFSO, objFile, strCountFile, objCountFile, strLine, lngCount, lngLine
    Const ForReading = 1
    Const ForWriting = 2
    Const OpenAsASCII = 0
    Const CreateIfNotExist = True
    ' Specify input file to be read.
    strFile = "c:\Scripts\Example.log"
    ' Specify file with most recent line count.
    strCountFile = "c:\Scripts\Count.txt"
    ' Open the input file for reading.
    Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strFile, ForReading)
    ' Check if the line count file exists.
    If (objFSO.FileExists(strCountFile) = False) Then
        ' Initial count is 0, so all lines are read.
        lngCount = 0
    Else
        ' Open the line count file.
        Set objCountFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strCountFile, ForReading)
        ' Read the most recent line count.
        Do Until objCountFile.AtEndOfStream
            lngCount = CLng(objCountFile.ReadLine)
        Loop
    End If
    ' Read the input file.
    lngLine = 0
    Do Until objFile.AtEndOfStream
        ' Count lines.
        lngLine = lngLine + 1
        strLine = objFile.ReadLine
        If (lngLine >= lngCount) Then
            ' Output the line.
            Wscript.Echo strLine
        End If
    Loop
    ' Close all files.
    objFile.Close
    If (lngCount > 0) Then
        objCountFile.Close
    End If
    ' Ignore last line of the file if it is blank.
    If (strLine = "") Then
        lngLine = lngLine - 1
    End If
    ' Save the new line count.
    Set objCountFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strCountFile, _
        ForWriting, CreateIfNotExist, OpenAsASCII)
    objCountFile.WriteLine CStr(lngLine + 1)
    objCountFile.Close

  • Google search box in mid screen accepts text but is inactive. Adobe reader does not now function with Firefox. Both are new since update.Thanks

    1. The google search box in the middle of the FF page accepts text but is not active since my update. The search bar box works.
    2. Adobe reader does not seem to work with the new update. eg. Epost suggested I update Reader which I did but it still doesn't work. New since update. It works with Safari which I dislike or i would simply change.
    Thanks
    David

    Does that box still Shows the Google text?
    Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
    Current Firefox versions use the default search engine (pref: browser.search.defaultenginename) to set the search engine that is used on the about:home page.
    Check the <b>browser.search.defaultenginename</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and make sure that it is set to the default value Google.
    *browser.search.defaultenginename
    You can check if you still have the XML files of the default search engines including Google in the searchplugins folder in Firefox program folder.
    If not then you need to reinstall Firefox.

    Hi bunjamin,
    just go to BlackBerry World, and update all your apps including BBM.

  • Bug In Forum while posting new messages since weekend?

    Hi all,
    some people have some trouble posting message since the update try on weekend.
    Look at this thread Bug In Forum while posting new messages?
    Maybe this can be solved?
    Regards, Tine.

    Hello,
    >> Right, so I am not the only one.
    No, you are not the only one.
    >> Maybe anybody of the responsible persons is reading this and can file a bug report.
    I believe this is the proper place to complain - Community Feedback (No Product Questions) .
    @Scott:
    >> Also, I never saw any posting explaining why data was lost over the weekend, that efforts had been made to recover the lost data, or that efforts to recover the lost data had failed.
    I absolutely agree with you. I know that the forum software is not developed by Oracle, still some words of explanation from the OTN guys is definitely in place, especially about the loss of data.

  • Bug Report iOS 7 iTunes. Since it is repeatable on 3 iPhones and 4 iPads here, I'm sure others are experiencing the same thing. Apple, might want to take a peek at this. When a tv show or movie is deleted from Videos, the Videos app shuts down.

    Restarting videos works and looks like video is getting deleted.
    Just a bug report

    You might want to report that to Apple instead of to the other users in this forum.

  • HT202879 I am stumped - trying to open a recent Pages file but error message says that I need a "newer version" of Pages.  My software updates show that there are no updates available.  I recently updated Pages but it is not consistent.

    I am stumped - I am trying to open a recent Pages file (created with a newer software that I thought was correctly installed recently) but error message says that I need a "newer version" of Pages.  My software updates show that there are no updates available. Pages 09 version 4.3 shows as my current version.

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
    Note: Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • When Apple releases a new OS (such as Lion), is it fully stable or it has bugs that will be fixed further?

    When Apple releases a new OS (such as Lion), is it fully stable or it has bugs that will be fixed further?

    Nothing is fully stable when released.
    What I wouldn't recommend is upgrading it if your not prepared to deal with bugs and/or changes.  (And you only need to read the forums and complaints for posts about people who are not trying to resolve bugs, but rather a soapbox for changes that they do not like)
    In a professional world, upgrades are tested before we release them to labs or desks - which means we apply an upgrade to our images, see what works, what doesn't and put together a list of things to fix/resolve/upgrade before we push it out.
    I have done this where I work, and have a prelim result, but I wouldn't push it out without a *.1 update installed at the least - more so for critical systems, and in terms of images - we would build a clean image for such a major upgrade after the .1
