Dedicating a single core to a single app?

Hello, I'm in the process of installing HL2 and would like to know if I can assign HL2 and Wine to a single core (my second) and run everything else on the first?

taskset -c 1 command
Replace 1 with which core you want, starting at 0, so 1 is infact your second core.
If I understand the man page correctly, taskset only limits the process to that core, but it doesn't *reserve* that core for that process.
I think the OP wants to guarantee that his process has an entire core to itself. Taskset only looks (to me) like it limits the process to the core, but does not limit the core to the process.
If the above is true, would setting the niceness at -20 effectively give the process dominance on the core it's on? Ie:
taskset -c 1 command & pid=$!
renice -20 $pid

"Does Bridge come with Photoshop if I buy the CC single app?"

Question from a Customer…"Does Bridge come with Photoshop if I buy the CC single app?"

Actually whether you consider the Suite a unified concept or not, if you are using a variety of Adobe products Bridge does the job well. Here's a great testimonial of what it does according to one user:
Bridge is the coordinating hub of the Creative Suite. Synchronizing color management settings for all suite programs is done from Bridge, and can only be done from Bridge, to take one important use.
Bridge displays actual thumbnails of many more file types than Finder or Explorer. It also allows instant play of sound or video files more readily than the native OS file managers.
Bridge allows direct access to file metadata, to embed copyright information and keywords where appropriate (e.g., for corporate logo vector and raster files). It also displays the fonts used in an InDesign file, the swatches in an INDD or AI and the output plates (including spot color plates) they use.
When managing the assets for a design project, Bridge allows quick and simple sorting, rating and custom labeling (with color flash indications) of assets. I can rate images according to whether they are rejects, possibles, for review by client, or approved. The filters built into Bridge allow instant isolation of only the approved images or designs in a folder, only the rejects (for deletion) or only files with certain ratings, no matter how many files it contains. It recognizes aspect ratios, so if I only need a landscape or a 16:9 image in a folder of hundreds of images, I turn off the aspect ratios I don't need.
Once filtered, the remaining visible files can be selected and copied, moved, or deleted without affecting the rest of the contents of a folder.
Collections are a massively useful feature. One of my clients is a performing arts center, and in a season we turn out dozens of ads, flyers, brochures, web banners, playbills, billboards and other collateral using the same assets over and over. These assets are organized by artist and/or show on disk, but I set up each season's repeating assets as a Collection in Bridge, so that I just have to open the collection and drag and drop these assets into new INDD, AI, PSD, HTML (in Dreamweaver), FLA or AE projects without having to navigate from folder to folder picking up individual files.
Bridge's Favorites is another place I stack frequently-accessed folders, such as stock photography, backgrounds, and top-level folders for active projects.
Assets can be divided into subfolders, but a quick toggle of "Show items from subfolders" exposes all of the assets in a single view while maintaining their organization. I will typically keep AIs, PSDs, EPSs, stock photography and client images in separate subfolders within a project. When I'm ready to start pulling assets into an InDesign layout, I toggle this on and simply drag what I need into the layout.
Bridge comes with Adobe Camera Raw built in, which is many times faster than using Photoshop to adjust jpegs or tiffs for things like tonal range, white balance, cropping, spotting and sharpening, and is non-destructive.
One tremendously useful Bridge function for InDesign CS5+ users is the "Show linked files" feature, which opens all the linked files in a layout into a single view, regardless of where they are physically located. I often use this when doing alternative layouts from a client-approved mockup for a campaign, to be certain the same assets are used in each piece, or when creating a motion graphic or interactive piece for the campaign in After Effects or Flash.
The batch and image processing scripts built into Bridge automate things like creating web-ready small jpegs from multiple images, renaming large numbers of files in place or by copying to an alternative location, creating sets of PSD, png, jpeg or other file types from an assortment of image files, and so on.
Bridge is so much a part of my daily workflow that on my main workstation I have one monitor dedicated to it almost 100%. Bridge just sits open 24/7, ready for use. I would run at half speed without it, no question.
Not bad for an old file browser.

Can not download Creative Cloud single-app membership for Adobe Photoshop (one-year) after purchas

can not download Creative Cloud single-app membership for Adobe® Photoshop® (one-year) after purchasing online (received email confirming order) can you help?
Macbook Pro OS X Version 10.7.5
Processor 2.4GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3
After using the trial version of Photoshop CS6, I decided to purchase the one-year Photoshop cloud version.
I was told by a friend to do a "clean" download, so removed the "previous version".
Now when I click the "download" tab, nothing happens.
Can you help?

Please download/install CC desktop : https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud and try downloading Photoshop. If still the same issue then as suggested by Mylenium run the cleaner tool and try downloading again.
You may even try the direct link: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-direct-download-links.html .
Please ensure to follow the very important instructions before download.

Can you have more than one plan at a time? i.e.: After Effects CC Single App Photography

I can't afford to pay for the whole CC package, but I really miss Photoshop in my workflow. In all the promotional stuff, the single app plan is offered to those who only want "one or two" apps, but I'm guessing the two only applies to PS+LR
Paying an extra £8/mo for Photoshop would be worthwhile, but It isn't immediately clear whether or not this is doable.
If anyone has tried this, or knows an answer I'd greatly appreciate your help!
Thanks,
-Mat

Yes, you may have more than one "single" subscription, with the photography special counting as a single

Creative Cloud for Teams and Single Apps

Dear Adobe,
I am an IT manager with a company that had 29 licenses of CS6, we now have Creative Cloud for teams, which is great.
However, Part of my company (the accounts side of things) only need Adobe Acrobat.
Why... WHY? Can't I have 30 single app licenses for these users under the same account? I got a call from your offshore licensing group and the woman who I talked to didn't seem to understand what I need.
I need the ability to give the entire creative cloud to some of my users.
but for the rest, I need to be able to only roll out Acrobat...
Thanks for the help

I am in the same situation. I do the design work for my clients they look at and markup PDF files. They have their own software. To add them to the team cost me $70.00 a month, 22 of them would cost a lot of money.
After setting up the first system Adobe took away file syncing the day after we had it setup. And team members were not able to see one another's files. Asking for a refund they transfer us to the special billing department for teams, then the line goes dead. I am guessing that my request for refunds is falling on deaf ears.
Our solution was to acquire our own Cloud hosting server $299.00 a year and $22,000 (there are cheaper) for the Cloud Server. We will have save the Adobe solution costs within the first year.

I am trying to install Adobe Encore, but it has been discontinued. Can I install and activate a previous version using my Single App Premier Pro membership?

I am trying to burn and author a Blu Ray DVD. I do not have a usable version of Encore , as it has been discontinued. I currently have a Single App membership for Premier Pro CC.
I was advised to install Premier Pro CS6 as Encore comes with this package. I did this, and the software downloaded but an error message came up saying my membership had expired. I think this is because I do not have permission to run Preier Pro CS6 using my Premier Pro CC membership. How can I get the software using my current membership? Or do I need to upgrade my membership to a full Creative Cloud membership in order to use Encore?

The bottom section of the link above has several Adobe links, and other information, on downloading Premiere Pro CS6 and the bundled Encore CS6, and the TWO ADDED downloads for the Encore library content, to author a DVD or BluRay... and the tutorial list includes learning how to use Encore... pay particular attention to the picture in reply 3 at this link - https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1516173 (picture first posted by Ann Bens and reposted by Stan Jones)

Single App Annual Subscription Question.

I own a licensed hard copy of Lightroom 4 and wanted to take out an annual subscription to the cloud version of Photoshop CS6 at £17.58 per month. I'm a photographer and only want to use Lightroom and Photoshop.
I was having a chat with an Adobe online persona called Nathan who informed me that if I took this type of subscription out then I wouldn't recieve any free updates or upgrades to Photoshop CS6; and that in order to do so I need to take out a full £46.88 per month subscription.
As I said, I only want Photoshop as I already own Lightroom.
I am not particularly bothered at this juncture if I didn't qualify for a free upgrade to CS7 when it comes, but I assumed that Photoshop CS6 version updates would be free.
Please can someone tell me if I'm right; and if I'm not, and updates are not free then what is the point of the single app subscription?
Best Regards
Andy

Hi Andy,
The Creative Cloud FAQ has info about the single app subscriptions here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html#single-app
You heard "I wouldn't receive any free updates or upgrades to Photoshop CS6"
- You would get any product specific updates that were non-Creative Cloud, same as customers who own Photoshop CS6. Creative Cloud customers get the benefit of getting new feature updates as soon as they are ready versus the next product upgrade.
Any ongoing bug fixes, security patches, and other update releases that do not require full upgrades will be made available through the Adobe Application Manager just as in the regular versions of Adobe software.
- Upgrades usually refer to a next version of the software, so if you had a subscription when PS CS7 came out, yes you would get access to that version
Benefits of single app subscription
- You could purchase it on a month to month if you wanted
- License is cross-platform (you could install on both a Mac and a PC)
- 20GB of online storage with Creative Cloud files
One other item I didn't see on the FAQ that I would want you to know, the single app subscription is the standard version of Photoshop CS6 - the version that comes with Creative Cloud is Photoshop CS6 Extended.
Hope that helps,
-Dave

How to update a Single App

Hello,
maybe its a stupid question, but: how is the updating process using a single app?
Until now we created auto-renewable apps with newsstand using dps folio producer
itunes connect and viewer builder. We build the issues at the in-app purchases and
use the unique product-id we specified before in folio producer. That allows apple
to find the right issue and allows updates as well, right?!?
Right now i createad a single app without in-app purchases but i can't specify or
write anywhere the product-id!? Do i have to publish the folio in folio producer,
export the hole folio, recreating the hole distribution-viewer and re-upload to
itunes connect? If we only want to update two stacks, should we update them all?
I want to repeat my self: its a stupid question, but i have no idea, sorry... I'm a rookie...

The Product ID in a single-issue app isn't important. Updating a single-issue app is fairly painless:
1. In Folio Builder/Folio Producer, edit the articles, upload them, update folio, export .zip file.
2. In Viewer Builder, edit the existing app. Specify the new .zip file. Download, sign and test .ipa file. Download and sign .zip file.
3. In iTunes Connect, create a new version for your app. Use App Loader to submit new build to Apple.
Whether you want to fix a single typo or rebuild the entire issue, the steps are the same.

Is it possible to password protect a single app like Mail?

Is it possible to password protect a single app like Mail?

Password protect the Mac Mail app is useless,and would not prevent access to your mailboxes.Your email is stored in files under your home folder,so you must password your mail folder.

Is it possible to transfer one single App from my iTunes onto my iPad, without losing the Apps that are already installed on my iPad?

I originally had the app (FilmOn.TV) on my iPhone, so it is backed up in my iTunes on my PC. It's no longer available in the App Store and I would really like to have it on my iPad. When I read up on this, it seems to say that if I sync any apps from my iTunes onto my iPad, that any Apps currently on the iPad will be deleted.
Can anyone tell me, please, is it possible to bring one single App across onto my iPad, without losing all of my existing ones.
Thank you in advance.
Brian.

Do you think you could email me the Filmon .ipa file? I lost mine the other day, and it would be very handy.

How can I change from indesign to Photoshop on a single app subscription

I was recently doing magazine work which I am now no longer doing. Therefore, Photoshop would be a better fit to my needs than InDesign. Could I switch the single application subscription from one product to another? If so, how?

Hi Dandalf1988
There isn't an option to switch plans but if you sign up for a single app plan for Photoshop we can cancel your InDesign plan.
Please get back to me when you've signed up and I can assist with the cancellation.
Kind regards
Bev

What does it take to make and sell single apps witth DPS

Allow me one question, please
If I have one cloud membership suscription and one Windows 7 PC, and I buy one Mini Mac
Would I be able/entitled to...? :
1. Load the CS6 suite in both machines and run them legally (but not concurrently?)?
2. Make the whole design-publication to iPad road up to the app. Store?
3. Sell single apps. to external clients as a freelancer? (No magazines but more things like "one issue" apps.)
Just wondering to myself.
Thanks a lot
Gustavo (Posting from a heavy raining madrid)

With Creative Cloud membership, you can install the desktop applications available in Creative Cloud on your primary computer and one backup computer, as long as they are not running at the same time. You will have access to both the Mac OS and Windows versions, so if you have a Mac at home and a PC at work, for instance. After creating your content, create folio and upload articles and just click on create app from Folio builder. Then submit it for approval to app store.
That's correct it would be Single/one issue app.

How do I recover data from a single App using an iTunes backup and put it back on my iPhone?

An app I use (Text Me 2) automatically cleared conversation history. I have an iTunes back-up of it from last year. I tried searching a ton and found articles, but never found a step-by-step article from start to finish describing how I can get only that app's data back on my iPhone without having to restore the entire thing (otherwise I lose all of my last 6 months of content)? All the articles I read stopped after using the iPhone backup extractor to extract, and didn't tell me how to get that back onto my iPhone. I use iTunes on Mac OS Mavericks also.
Thanks in advance!

Then what's with all of the programs these two responses mention and being able to restore a single app data?
If you know you are going to do this in advance and have a jailbroken phone, use AppBackup which you can get through cydia. Otherwise, if this need arises after having restored already, you can get the data from an iPhone backup using iPhone Backup Extractor and/or a Time Machine backup (you can google to find the location of the backups, but I think it's in Application Support > Mobile Sync > Backups), and then restore the documents/library folders of the application using iExplorer (which is by the same people who made iPhone Explorer but was changed for legal reasons and now is slightly more user friendly and suited for this purpose. I just did this to restore my Angry Birds scores/data among other things.
and
I do that with iTools. You can backup each app with its data into an ipa file to the computer, to restore it individually. This allows you to merge apps with its data from different backups.
...not to mention I found several answers like this in various forums...
