Cs5 and lion conflicts

I run CS5 programs (Photoshop, Dreamweaver, etc) and am reluctant to upgrade to Lion based on early reports of issues. Any recommendations?

I have CS4 and CS5 installed at present and have had no issues whatsoever, except a bit of slowness starting uo but I only have a 2.1ghz processor and 3GB Ram. But still a better startup and more solid platform than Snow Leopard, but do read the threads on auto-save/versions.

Adobe cs5 and Lion

Now that it has been out for a few months, I was thinking about installing OS 10.7 Lion. Is anyone here using it along with Adobe CS5 applications? Are you getting glitch-free results?
Thanks, and happy 2012,
Nicky

Looks like it's way too soon to adopt Lion. Regardless of whether it's Apple's dev crew or Adobe's who haven't done their homework well enough, I see a really high percentage of problems reported, a lot of them in the last month or two.
I need a headache-free upgrade, so I'll just wait till late spring.

CS5 and Lion

Does CS5, specifically Photoshop and InDesign, work with Mac's Lion OX?

Thanks. I appreciate you getting back with me so quickly.

CS5 and Lion Upgrade--color change

I am using CS5 on a Macbook and printing on an Epson Sylus Photo R2400. I recently upgraded to OSX 10.7 (from 10.58 if this matters). When I compare a photo that I printed before the upgrade with one printed after the upgrade (using the same paper and profile and the file has not been edited between printings), the one printed in 10.7 has a slight magenta cast (the original print has pastel greenish blues; the one printed from 10.7 is more greyish violet). The original print matches the calibrated monitor better as well. I am using photoshop to manage colors, and, as far as I can tell with the new driver, printer color management is turned off (this seems to happen when the settings are selected in the photoshop print window).
I have read that there were potential issues with drivers, but I have cleaned out the Epson folder in my system library, reset the printing system, and reloaded the printer with newly downloaded drivers from Epson. None of this seems to change the output.
It may be possible that the new Epson driver yields different color from the same file/profile combination, but this strikes me as unlikely.
It may also be that there was some nozzle clogging in the original prints that, once cleared, has resulted in the color shift, but the number of consistent prints and timing of the shift makes this unlikely as well.
I am tempted to get a custom profile for the printer to address the match issue, but if there is some software glitch that is causing the shift, am not sure this is the right solution either.
Does anyone have any advice as to how to resolve this issue?

I have CS4 and CS5 installed at present and have had no issues whatsoever, except a bit of slowness starting uo but I only have a 2.1ghz processor and 3GB Ram. But still a better startup and more solid platform than Snow Leopard, but do read the threads on auto-save/versions.

INdesign CS5 and Lion Screen redraw errors

I have been running INdesign 7.0.4 with Mac OS 10.7.2, I am getting screen redraw issues and ghosting when scrolling or making any edits. I have trashed the prefs, repaired my disk permissions to no avail.
Anyone else having this issue?
Thanks for your help!

Lines not drawing precisly on cs5 and wacom

Anyone know what could be the problem, set up a new system, with my wacom intuous 4, and i have never had a problem before, but on both illustrator and photoshop i cant seem to get a decent curve drawn, As soon as my pen starts a line it seems to be "thinking" and makes the first 10mm straight and thn a curve. Also if i hold my pen to the wacom tablet for longer than 2 seconds it starts thinking and sets up the pen tools drop box. Please help.
I have uninstalled all programs, and reinstalled them, with no joy.

Try Google, but be ready to dodge the rush of hits it brings up. I don't know if there was ever a fix for CS5 and Lion, but I can tell you something that will let you get beautifully smooth and flowing lines; cure the dreaded shoelace problem (thos nasty blobby bits at the end of a tapered line, and let you make incredibly long tapered start _and_ ends to your pressure sensitive lines.
Plus you get the bonus of a dozen or so line drawing constraints, and a a bunch of presets. It's called Lazy Nezumi Pro, and no tablet user should be without it.

Indesign CS5 and CS5.5 crash on new document / Lion 10.7

Hello!
In our agency we encountered a problem since upgrading to OS X Lion 10.7. Both our Indesign CS5 and CS5.5 keep crashing on us whetver we open an existing document or create a new one. We tried to clean-up our installations, deleted both, installed just CS5 and/ CS5.5 - trashed preferences etc. pp. Nothing worked.
Indesign opens like it should - but the moment we create a document it just hangs with the spinning ball - does anyone else can recreate the issue? We use no plugins in indesign only the app "Fontcase" from the Appstore to maintain our collection of fonts.. but we even tried to deactivate this app to see if it helps - no success.
We currently cant set up the system new since it is time consuming and just our last choice.. is there some other way to find the problem? We also never see the adobe crash-reporter.. not even after 10-15 minutes as stated in the lion os x issue list.
Thanks!

Dreamweaver CS5 on Lion Opens but then won't work

I'm using Dreamweaver CS5 with Lion 10.7.2 on a new iMac 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7. I've had the machine about 2 weeks and Dreamweaver worked fine. Yesterday what happened was that I can launch the program but cannot use it. Anytime I click any menu item in the program like the file menu or help menu I get a spining ball. I can't open files in Dreamwever from outside or inside it. I can't do anything at all in Dreamweaver. I wait a long time and the spinning ball doesn't stop. I didn't do anything new except add ram to the computer and the ram works fine and shows up in "about this Mac" and has caused no problems. This Dreamweaver is a part of CS5 Web Premium and whatever the problem is it has not effected Photoshop CS5. In fact I have no problems anywhere else on my computer except for Dreamweaver.
I've tried the following solutions that I saw in these and other forums and nothing works:
1) in Dreamweaver preferences changed the following:
[REMOTE DOWNLOAD]
remotedownloadcachesize=50
remotedownloadallow=TRUE
to
[REMOTE DOWNLOAD]
remotedownloadcachesize=50
remotedownloadallow=TRUE
resolveremoteurltoipaddress=FALSE
That didn't work so I changed it back.
2) repaired disk permission on my hard disk from disk utilities, then verified the hard disk and it was ok, restarted various times.
3) tried replacing preferences and app support from previous days in time machine when it work but no change.
4) deledted com.adobe.Dreamweaver.11.plist from preferences. That didn't work so put it back
5) checked and remade permisions for user at ~/library/application support/adobe/dreamweaver cs5 but the permissions were already at read & write
6) renamed ~/library/application support/adobe/dreamweaver cs5 folder and restarted Dreamweaver
7) renamed ~/library/application support/adobe/dreamweaver cs5/en_US/Configuration and restarted Dreamweaver
8) deleted ~/library/application support/adobe/dreamweaver cs5 and restarted Dreamweaver
9) uninstalled Dreamweaver using Dreamweaver's uninstall app and reinstalled it from my disk and updated it.
10) tried using Dreamweaver from a different user login and it worked, but I need it to work in THIS login. I can find no way that this user is corrupt.
I hope someone has an idea of what to do.

New info. My husband just installed the older version of Firefox, and it is also not responding. Again without ever seeing a request for a response from him.

How can I download and install PCS5 (i have serial nu) when MacBookPro only shows Bridge CS5 and defaults to CS4?

I may have inadbertenly deleted CS5 Photoshop in error or it never installed. I had a time when HD was 99 percent full so I started deleting CS3,4 etc Photoshop, Bridege. I remember downloading for this laptop the CS5 for Mac , Bridge, Raw, DNg all that but it was over a year ago.
Download file shows unable to install CS5 Photoshop not all there (paraphrase). I cannot seem to find support at Adobe web site where downloads are available as long as they have your information. My information is all there.
I don't understand the new Download Manager but i downloaded it and it seems to deal with creative suite and mobile apps.
Do I have a conflict with my outdated unsupported Creative suite from pre intel Adobe I think CS7? I was on phone for long time. the lady couldn't speak good english . She put me on hold after asking twice (two holds) if she could transfer me to tech support. then bumper phone is dead, i.e. i got cut offf. So am on phone again.
Am almost 70 and do not want to buy a subscription for photoshop to edit when i can live with CS5 and i would like to upgrade LR to match CS5. Everything works on my IMAC since I paid for CS5. It is this laptop I having trouble getting CS5 Photoshop installed. Do I have to agree to the free Creative Suite trial? I don't want to shoot myself in foot, i.e. ruin chance to just keep using what I own. I understand they want us all to pay a monthly subscription for all the applications we paid good money for to keep upgrading. Nice to be able to change rules after ownership. I wish Adobe hadn't been bought up my sd;fans as it has gone downhill from their logos to their ruining apps like Word did with adding a zillion icons when we all know how to use shortcuts to choose Levels. I hate the new format it is more confusing. I spent a lot of money learning and loving Photoshop.
Please help . What do I do?

Hi,
I hate to say so, but I'm not far behind you in years. So anyway I'll try and help you out as a user and forum volunteer.
So let's see if I can properly answer your questions.
First off, never delete Adobe products on a Mac. You use the uninstaller found in the program folder. Photoshop CS5 for example,
Use the CS Cleaner to get at those bits the uninstaller missed.
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Here the direct download link from Adobe for CS5 Installers. Mac included.
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html
If you do not have your serial number at the ready, go here to this link,
https://www.adobe.com/account/my-products-services.html
Sign in with the adobe ID and password you registered your products under.
Under "My Products" You will see what you purchased and a triangle next to it.
Click on that triangle to see your serial numbers.
If it is an upgrade, get the serial number from the previous version while you are there.
That should be enough for you to go on. Any further questions, I'll give it a try.
Don't worry about Creative Cloud. Adobe might advertise it, but you decide if you need it.

Can only draw circle and square in Illustrator CS5 and Photoshop CS5

I am experiencing a strange bug that seems to be affecting both Photoshop CS5 and Illustrator CS5. In Illustrator, when I try to draw a rectangle or ellipse I can only draw circles and squares. Also I can't change the color of selected objects. When I try to change its fill nothing happens. I can also only drag objects on the 0, 45 and 90 degree angles. Also I can no longer select off an object by clicking on the artboard. When I click on the artboard nothing happens.
Similarly in Photoshop I can only draw straight lines using the brush tool. The marquee tool is also not functioning properly. When I try to use the marquee tool the marching ants form a square but when I release the mouse it selects a rectangular portion. Strangely if I use the marquee tool and make selection I can press the shift key and add to it but this second selection's marching ants are not square but are properly rectangular.
Since the problem seems to be affecting both Illustrator and Photoshop I'm thinking it's probably some kind of system conflict or perhaps an application running in the background is affecting it. Also if I restart my mac the problem goes away. Unfortunately the problem eventually returns.
Anyway I'm pretty sure most of the suggested fixes involve systematically going through all the programs running in the background and trying to determine which if any might be affecting Illustrator and Photoshop but I just thought I'd post something in case someone else had the problem or knew of any fixes.
I'm running CS5 on a MBP.
Thanks!

Ok I figured out the problem. It was another application called teleport which lets you control 2 macs with one mouse. It requires a hot key and in my case that was the shift key. Even though it was running it was still affecting me. Had to quit it and restart. If you're having a similar problem I'd check to see you're not running any other applications that can be activated with a hot key.

Large PDFs from Indesign CS5 under Lion

Has anyone noctived the incredibly large PDFs exported from Indesign CS5 under OS X 10.7 Lion?...
When OS X 10. Snow Leopard all was great, though now I have noticed HUGE differences!!??
crazy. example Indesign exported to pdf 106mb
Print to file, then Distiller: 32mb
BIG DIFFERENCE
anyone else?
thanks

Ok lets forget the Distiller part of this story, sorry.
My issue is that under Lion PDF's are WAY larger than in previous OS X (Snow Leopard etc)
I don't have any Mac on Snow Leopard to now show a comparison only previous PDF's made before Lion was installed and they are signifcantly smaller.
I just tested I think it is new documents made in Indesign CS5 in Lion.
Testing a indd file previously made in Snow Leopard I exported a PDF it produced the same size PDF as in Snow Leopard, so now I am confused slightly hoping I am wrong. Then I exported that same .indd as a .idml opened and saved as .indd then exported as a PDF it is 150kb larger... small difference yes, though ot enough to worry about, so I tried with previous larger files... only to have them create the satisfactory sized pdf.
Ok, I am wondering if newly created documents are the issue?...
Moving on I found then I found this.. http://www.creativepro.com/article/drop-20-pounds-indesign
I have just done a space audit most of the file is the images, my only conclusion is that the images are containing meta data that is hogging?...

Photoshop CS5.5 + Lion: Available RAM Actual RAM

Hi all,
Here's my issue:
I have 24 GIGs of RAM in my machine [Mac Pro 3,1— 2.8Ghz "octo-core" (early-2008)]. I noticed recently that Photoshop was only showing 18 GIGs as available ("18544 MB" is how it's displayed in the "Performance" section of my PS Preferences)—rather than the full 24 GIGs.
I'm not positive that it is a function of my "upgrade" to Lion, but I have a strong suspicion that it is, since I am intimately familiar with my Photoshop preference settings and never noticed this issue prior to switching from Snow Leopard.
All my Adobe apps are up to date—as is my system software. I have confirmed (via System Profiler) that my system is indeed recognizing all 24 GIGs of installed RAM. I have had this much RAM in my machine for a long time, and under Snow Leopard, it was all recognized by Photoshop.
Questions:
- has anyone else experienced this?
- is it a bug of some sort, or a purposeful function of the OS (i.e. does Lion sequester a portion of the RAM or otherwise disallow PS to access all of it)?
Any input would be much appreciated.
-Jason

So far we haven't seen any such difference on Lion.
This should help then...
I realized I had a hard drive with OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) still on it, so I booted up my Mac Pro using that drive, opened CS5 and took a look at the preferences.
Sure enough, the "Available RAM" readout is within 1 GB of the total RAM in my machine (24 GB)—which is consistent with my recollection. I took a screen-cap of the prefs (seen on the left side of the attached image), rebooted using my current system (Lion), and fired up Photoshop CS5.5.
If you take a look at the right side of the attached image, you'll notice two things:
Right off the bat, the Available RAM in Lion is ~3 GB less than on the Snow Leopard system
The Available RAM fluctuates over time in Lion—mostly decreasing, and at one point, moving back up slightly.
I didn't spend any time in Snow Leopard to test whether the Available RAM fluctuated or not. My recollection is that it did not—and that's based upon many months of using CS5 in Snow Leopard. If it did fluctuate, it wasn't enough to ever catch my eye. The fluctuation did catch my eye in Lion because of the larger and more relevant issue—the drastic decrease to the actual value(s) of Available RAM.
Losing 3 GB of RAM on a 24GB system might seem insignificant at first glance, but it's not, and here's why:
it grows to a loss of ~6GB almost immediately.
I lose another ~6GB for setting the RAM % no higher than 69% (recommended to avoid a reported memory bug)
When I spend $2,500 on software (or $10, for that matter), I have every right to expect that it won't negate several hundred dollars worth of investment into the hardware I bought to use it, unless it is advertised as such.
Wade's suggestion (faulty or incorrectly-seated RAM) crossed my mind too—even though System Profiler recognized all 24 GB with a status of "OK." Now, it's clear that this isn't the issue. It's also (hopefully) clear that this is a real issue, with real implications.
I have invested a lot of time, energy and money into building a high-powered system for one primary purpose—maximizing my computing power for Photoshop and Illustrator. I have done that based upon the official documentation and recommendations of Adobe. I run the OS and CS5.5 from a high-quality SSD, have a large, fast and dedicated scratch drive, and save my files to yet another drive. I've been using Photoshop for 16 years, and as you may note from the scarcity of my posts, I come to this forum only as a last resort—not to waste your time or mine on frivolous issues, or to waste your time asking for explanations about issues that I can otherwise resolve on my own.
If there is an avenue other than this forum by which I can more easily achieve resolution to issues like this—by all means, please tell me where that is so I can save us all some time. If not, then to the extent that I must come here to resolve those issues—please respect the fact that I would much rather be using the product for which I paid good money than documenting its flaws or trying to convince the company that sold it to me to listen.
Please forgive me if I sound frustrated—I am. It's nearly 4am; I've lost a full night's work reporting this issue; and I've lost far too many additional days and nights over the last year experiencing, troubleshooting, documenting and discussing defects and quirks in CS5 (/.5)—often while feeling like I was the one on trial instead of the buggy product that I purchased. I don't expect perfection with such robust and technical software—but I think it's reasonable to expect a supportive and attentive attitude, as well as a serious effort by the developers to fix the bugs and correct the oversights that I and others identify.
Thanks for your time. I'm sure I'll be more cheerful on the other side of this long night.

Two versions of Bridge installed - CS5 and CS5.1 - how to remove one?

Looks like this happened by installing Photoshop CS5.1 first, then Flash CS5 after that. Now I have two versions of Adobe Bridge, along with Extension Manager and a bunch of other redundant stuff now
This is causing me multiple problems:
1) the right-click menu "Browse with Adobe Brigde CS5" is set to the old version. Probably because it installed afterward (?). This is no good. I want it to default to the newer version obviously.
2) I am getting a lot of performance errors - the "not enough drive space" kind of error, when I just try to zoom in on a single small image in a folder with only a couple images in it. Bear in mind I have 12GB of RAM running here.
How do uninstall the old versions!?? Note, I ALSO have an old old version of Adobe Bridge that came from an install of some CS2 components!!! It's out of control and aggravating.
Please help
- Jon

It is usually recommeded you keep old versions rather than removing them. Some users run in to file association problems when removing older versions. The file association goes back to the version removed if you can comprehend that.
The versions should not conflict with one another. HOWEVER, you can run only one Bridge version at a time.
It is also recommended you install programs in order. So if you installed the newer one first and then the older one you can upset the file associate order. You can try to fix that first and then uninstall if that does not work. Go go edit.file type associations see what the dafault programs are listed as CS5 or CS5.1. There is a radio button on the bottom to reset these to factory default, and this sometimes works.
If not I would uninstall CS5 and CS5.1 and install the older one first. Or if you don't want CS5 on machine just install CS5.1. To be on the safe side you could run Adobe Script cleaner which will delete bits that the uninstall process did not get.

Cs5 Photoshop extended conflicts

I have recently purchased adobe Cs5 Premium and have conflicts with photoshop Cs5 Extended, Adobe are saying it's Apples fault, the problem is the panels are sticking like if they are snapping to guids and the dropdown lists won't drop, layers can't be fully opened, sometimes if I move the mouse in slow stages I can move panels and can sometimes see all layers. I think Adobe are just passing the buck, I would be grateful if anyone has any suggestions.
ps All other software works well in this area.
