CS5 App Re-Organization & Icon Change Issues???

Just had a couple quick questions on how CS5 installs into the Applications folder on OSX 10.6.7...
1. I've notice that there's no order as to the organization of how the Adobe apps install. (e.g. folders & apps spread out all over the place instead of in one central CS5 folder/director) Not sure why there is no option in the install process to force all apps to install into one folder so everything is neat and tidy.
2. Secondly issue I've noticed is if after an install I attempt to re-organize by moving any of the scattered apps around into sub folders and/or change any of the app or folder icons to match what I'm using as a systemwide icon theme then the whole Adobe updating process gets messed up as the updater can't find the apps.
In the end if even attempt moving anything around I'm guaranteed to have to re-install & leave the various components of CS5 fall wherever it may fall. So right now I have a tidy Applications/Utilities folder with the exception being the scattered mess that is Adobe CS5. Is there any insight as to why this process is the way it is and/or if there are any workarounds?
Thanks for any insight.

Thanks Steve. I appreciate the speedy response with regards to the issue.
Yeah I've just learned to just accept to leave things where they are regardless of my UI OCD for the sake of keeping the update process smooth. Was just too annoying to deal with the updater failing even the package was there. Just figured I'd finally get a second opinion in writing so I could feel good about turing the blind eye. Lol.
Although I realize that there will always be the cross-platform factor of PC/Mac, for whatever reason after putting up with this disorganization through pretty much every version of CS on mac it just would make sense to me like a company that makes the vein of products that Adobe makes would at least by version CS5 been able to address this issue. Just seems weird that Adobe CS5 is the only applications package on the Mac platform that gets messed by simply changing an icon. To me it just seems logical that by centralizing thing that it would only help with the "share component" factor you alluded to.

  • App icon changes to generic iOS icon once installed

    So, this one I can't quite make heads or tails of—while the app is downloading and installing on the iPad, I can see the app's real icon design behind the progress wheel, but once it's finished installing, the icon just turns into a generic iOS icon as if there was not one designed by the developer. This is happening specifically with the NPR One app. At first I was thinking it might have something to do with the fact that it's an iPhone app downloaded to an iPad, but I've been unable to replicate this issue with any other iPhone-only app. Thus far, I've tried deleting and reinstalling, deleting, restarting the iPad, and then reinstalling to no avail.
    I've taken screen caps while installing and after:
    While installing > http://cl.ly/X2Pc
    After installing > http://cl.ly/X1ct
    Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions?

    I also have several generic icons on my iPad running OS 8. The apps involved are fully downloaded and work fine.
    I finally decided to backup to iTunes, do a factory reset and restore from the backup. That all went well, but the generic icons are still there.
    I don't want to delete and reinstall the apps. One of them is Launch in which I have created many custom actions. I assume that I will lose all of those if I delete and reinstall the app.
    Any ideas?

  • App icons changing to another one already installed?

    This has happened to me twice now:
    I installed an app and it had the right picture with it. The app opened and worked. The next time I went to the page on my iphone the app had the icon of another app but it still loads the app right.
    What's going on?!?

    That rules out that theory then, CAT cable it must be, all being the neighbour will agree to my request.

  • Q10 - I tap the screen to select, the icon changes color (indicating selection) but nothing happens...

    I notice an issue that predominantly happens when I use my thumbs to tap but does happen with fingers from time to time. 
    When I select an icon (say, for instance the lower-right corner icon to jump into camera settings), the icon changes color slightly when my thumb touches the glass, and then when I remove my thumb, nothing happens. 
    Sometimes this happens more than 5 times in a row.  It's one thing if the screen never recognized my finger/thumb in the first place.  It is a bit more madening when I KNOW that there was recognition (icon changing color) and yet nothing happens.. 
    Anyone else having this problem?  Is there some way to recalibrate the screen? 
    Right after I posted this message I tried that camera setting button - 7 tries before anything happened with my right thumb, one try with right index finger, then again it took 5 tries with index finger.  The frustrating thing is that the icon to load the camera in the first place (lower right corner)... that one almost always works with the first tap...

  • Macbook Pros display blinks to blue, icons change size, resolution changes and cant reset. Anyone else have this and have a definitive idea of the cause? End up running diagnostics and resetting PRAM and SMC to resolve but why? Thanks.

    We have had several (7-10 recently) macbook Pros start this issue. The screen will jump from regular to blue, the background image will go away and it will be replaced with a blue screen, the icons change size and the screen resolution changes. Someimtes the users name field on the login screen will fly in from off screen... run diagnostics (AppleJack, Disk Util) and reset PRAM and SMC and sometimes this helps but wanted to know if there was a definite reason for this or a better resolution to the problem?
    Thanks all
    Macbook Pros are all newer (some only a month old) Unibody models running Snow Leopard and Lion

    AppleJack has been discontinued, so you should uninstall that.
    I'm suspecting something in software across all machine or a security breach as the primary cause of your problems.
    Wipe and install everything fresh, firmware update the router, change passwords, new software form original sources, etc.
    This might assist.

  • Desktop Icons Change Positions After Restart

    Hi,
    After I inadvertently synced my computer with another Mac computer my icons change position after restart. I was trying to sync another computer to mine.
    I have tried the usual suggestions of taking out com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.desktop.plist and letting the system create these new files but the problem still persists. I also checked the Finder > View > Show View Options and arrange by none is still selected.
    Does anyone have a suggestion how I can fix this problem? Will I have to go back in time with Time Machine and restore my entire system to solve this?
    I can't operate with the desktop icons changing positions like this.
    Thanks,
    Pacecom

    Delete the hidden .DS_Store file associated with your Desktop folder. Launch the Terminal.app (in /Applications/Utilities/), copy & paste the following command into the window that pops up, hit the return key, quit the Terminal.app, OPTION-click and hold the Dock's Finder icon, and select Relaunch:
    *rm ~/Desktop/".DS_Store"*
    Now, set the Desktop as desired, log out and back in, and the Desktop should be as it was as you last set it.

  • Indesign CS5 crashing on launch if another CS5 app is open

    This actually seems to be affecting the entire CS5 suite installed on a Windows XP computer.
    If one CS5 app is open eg. Indesign, when trying to open another eg. Illustrator, the app crashes with a memory write error.
    It happens with any combination of CS5 app: Indesign + Photoshop, Photoshop + Dreamweaver etc
    The Stack Back Trace for Indesign and Illustrator all reference similar items: dvaui__drawbot__OSSurfaceInterface__GetOutputGraphics and gdiplus. But Photoshop just references gdiplus amongst others. I've pasted them below.

    CS5 has been re-installed.
    I'm asuming it's a graphics issue, maybe the card itself, or the driver - although it's the latest driver that works on other systems. Maybe a font issue? Although the exact same fonts were used on another computer with no issues.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    I'm asuming it's a graphics issue, maybe the card itself, or the driver - although it's the latest driver that works on other systems. Maybe a font issue? Although the exact same fonts were used on another computer with no issues.
    It does look graphics-related. I don't have any grand ideas.
    CS5 and XP are long in the tooth, too, which makes this sort of thing hard to debug.
    Are you running the latest CS5 update, 7.0.4.553?
    Have you tried backing out to the not-latest graphics card driver?
    What card and driver and what version? Did you get it from the vendor or from Microsoft?
    Have you tried a new user account on your system?

    I've been through much the same sort of pain as you describe - I tried using shortcuts on the users' desktop for them to access SharePoint via WebDAV but these fail to connect regularly unless the user has logged on through the browser. I followed all of
    the instructions in KB 2616712 without resolving the problem. I raised a Service Request and the answer I received was:
    =====================
    • Issue Description:
    • Problems accessing mapped SharePoint folders via WebDAV
    • Issue Resolution:  
    • This is a By-design behavior since SharePoint online in office 365 uses forms based authentication & the user is authenticated using SAML token as against BPOS where windows authentication method was used.
    • This SAML token expires every 2 hours & after that the mapped drive for SharePoint library cant access the resources unless the user signs in to the site again from the browser.
    • At this point we don't have a possible solution to this however this issue is in the knowledge of our Operations team & they are working towards a solution. We don't have ETA for the same though.
    • You can develop a custom application that would authenticate the user against sharepoint site without having him to open the browser & sign in. The following article may be of help in doing so.

  • Could not restore CS5 using Time Machine after changing to Mac OS8.3

    Could not restore Photoshop CS5 using Time Machine after changing to Mac OS8.3 - the change was dictated by a power supply problem (now fixed) in my Macbook Pro - that has been fixed.

    Restoring the Adobe application via Time machine is not a good practise and may cause other issues as well.
    Please install the application properly rather restoring.
