Did You Hear About Logics s New Lucid Dream Freeze Function?

for a small fee, apple will freeze you ( not your tracks). and when they work out all the bugs and logic returns to a pro app that works properly, you can be thawed out and resume working again. there is no tech support and side effects may occur while frozen. you might even run into dr evil or benny the dog.
see you on the other side

Thank you for the sympathy and the information about the Adobe.com forum Michael.
I posted here because, to be honest, for a company that's acknowledged their installers and updaters and support needs some work, they seem very determined to obfuscate the means by which users can provide direct feedback to the company. Much like you, I've also noticed a trend in CS5 installations that mirrors the issues that were present in CS4. it's a sad state of affairs.
As for my installation, you are also quite right to say that a clean install would have been a lot faster than what I went through with TS and it was actually my first idea. Before calling TS I'd actually read through the forums and noticed that a large number of users who were faced with my situation had no other choice but to reformat. I was just giving Adobe the benefit of the doubt and wasted 2 and a half weeks through that course of action...
What makes this situation even more frustrating is that the installer failed on a fresh system. It was a custom-built design machine, assembled and configured by myself. The only software that had been installed on it prior to Design Premium was Firefox, an FTP client and the start of my problems, trial versions of various CS4 programs. I used trials just long enough to retire the previous design computer so that I wouldn't contravene the EULA's stipulation of not running more than one instance of software at the same time on different machines.  Turns out being honest once again penalised a legal customer.
If there is just thing users should learn from my far from unique tale of failed tech support it's that if you ever run into a problem with the installation, don't bother calling TS, just reformat and start from scratch.  It might seem like it'll take longer to get going again, but in actuality, it's the opposite. Reformatting means you'll be up and running in about 1 or 2 days rather than 2 weeks.

    Hi, Adobleren-
    I'm sorry to hear that the experience has been so poor for you.  It sounds like you've tried everything we've recommended.  We're still exploring theories as to why this might be happening.  Can you please send me the contents of ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Edge\ Animate/3.0.0/logs/?

  • Did you hear that? A new version of Edge Animate CC will break Edge Animate?

    I'm on a OSX10.9.1. Updated Edge, hoping for some of the many bugs to disappear. Ended up with unusable software. When I open Edge Animate now, I only get a white screen. If I try to open a previous file or make a new one, I cant do anything without the good old "An error occured. Please save your work and restart Edge Animate". I can't even see any of the content in the file.
    I have tried reinstalling Creative cloud and Edge animate several times, I'm not behind any firewall that would block anthing adobe and I have deleted the preferences.
    What can I do to make this work again?

  • [URXVT] Did you know about the contextual menu ?

    Hey folks,
    I've been using urxvt for some years now but just realized that if you select some text, and do a Ctrl+right click, you get a menu with things like copy to clipboard or rot13 (??).
    Did you know about this ? Is it a new feature ?
    Are there more hidden things like this ?
    I know about the Ctrl+Shift keycapture mode.
    Cheers,

  • How did you feel about your first mac?

    As an early christmas present I received a 13 inch macbook air, 2GB RAM and 1.86GHz dual core cpu.
    I am mostly used to PC laptops running linux or often I put solaris on them. I study Computer Science and have Asperger's Syndrome.
    I got my mac as windows had too much bloatware and Linux was too unstable on my 64-bit hardware (needed 6 GiB RAM for large compilations). I was going to use the macbook air to take notes and some minor work between classes such as writing assembly subroutines, C and java. The primary use of this system was going to be as a personal assistant to have my calendar and files etc.
    The system is so powerful with a full 12 hours battery life when working on the localhost that it can out-do a 2.4GHz dual core with 6 GiB RAM PC running any OS. This system is now used for all my work due to it's capabilities and portability. After only one week with a mac I dont know how I lived without one, and my carer says it has made me show immense improvements day-to-day. I am now tempted to learn Objective-C as well as how to use Cocoa from Python to be more efficient, especially after seeing the perfection in this system.
    How did you feel when you got your first mac?

    A related question might be, what did you think about the introduction of the IBM PC?
    I had been designing digital systems and working with computers for a few years before the PC's introduction in 1981. The mainstay systems were 8 bit Z80 or 8085 machines running at 4 or 6 MHz. They ran CP/M with its command line interface. Although the maximum memory these systems could use was 64 MB, being a single user, single-task operating sytem, even the most resource-hungry programs (word processors for instance) ran very fast. CP/M itself needed only a few K.
    Dual floppy disk systems were common, 180 KB per disk unless you had double sided floppies - 360 K. The A drive booted the operating system, after which you could insert a program disk. The B drive held your data. I had one machine with a whopping 5 MB hard disk - the C drive. I treated it with special reverence.
    When rumors began about IBM producing its version of a desktop PC, many people including myself had grand expectations. Clearly Big Blue would emerge as the leader in desktop computers, since they had the resources to dictate what the standard would be. Everyone knew the others would be left in the dust. What kind of processor would it use? How much memory? Would it have a slimmed down version of the multiuser, multitasking operating system used in its System/34 minicomputer? Or would it resemble something that DEC used in its PDP-11?
    Well, when the IBM PC came out in 1981, needless to say it was an enormous disappointment. It wasn't much better than anything else I had already been using for three or four years already, except the PC was much, much more expensive. No hard disk unless you wanted to buy an upgraded power supply (more $$$) and then all they offered was 10 MB. Forget about multiple users or multitasking. It didn't even have the equivalent of CP/M's PIP. The whole thing seemed... intentionally crippled. This was supposed to be the future of computing? In my opinion it was a major step backward. The XT that followed it offered only minimal improvements. I rejected the IBM PC as not cost effective and kept using my CP/M dinosaurs.
    So, when Apple introduced the Macintosh a couple years later I finally saw, in the flesh, what I thought a computer ought to be. A totally bit mapped display, a robust 16/32 bit processor, real sound capability (everything before it could only "beep") and a true graphical UI. You could name a file anything you want, no 8x3 idiocy. +To this day+ Windows carries remnants of 8x3 filenames!
    The Macintosh blew away the PC, if not in performance, in its potential. Unlike the "crippled" PC the Mac seemed limitless. This was cool. The Mac wasn't without limitations though - there was no good way to install a hard disk for instance - but for some reason I considered those limitations trivial and believed they would be overcome in the near future. I waited for the first "upgrade" - the "Fat Mac" with a whopping 512K memory. Half a megabyte!
    I used that computer for several years, until the SE/30 came out, which I kept in service for about ten years. I ultimately expanded its memory to 32 MB while PC users were struggling with extended memory or expanded memory - you had to know which was which - to get beyond the PC's stupid 640K barrier. My 30 MB HD eventually grew small, but that was easily remedied with an external SCSI drive. Although the computer did everything I ever expected it to do, the Internet eventually made it functionally obsolete. It could run a browser (forget which one) but the black and white limitation made it marginally useful.
    I eventually replaced it with an iMac, which echoed the original Mac's introduction with its forward-thinking design. The iMac opened up a new world in much the same way the original Macintosh did in 1984.
    All my Macs still work.

    That pretty much sums it up.
    In retrospect, I believe that IBM and its marriage of convenience with Microsoft delayed the evolution of desktop computing a decade or more. I cringe whenever I think of the aggregate productivity loss and utter frustration shared by millions of PC / Windows devotees all these years.

  • Did you know about "Arbitration and Mediation" FAQ?

    I have just made a discovery that many of you frustrated Verizon customers will be very interested in knowing about. Did you know that you can type in legal action in the search verizon.com box and you will find a category called "Arbitration & Mediation" FAQ? For those of you, like myself who have been dealing with months and months of issues with Verizon and you are getting nowhere, you might check this out. It is very interesting.This may have saved me hours and hours of time and some over the top emotion that our situation has caused.

    Proper names are known. But product names will not be - nor will acronyms.

  • Where's can i Buy any Professional Authoring DVD for IMAC, did you know about Studio DVD pro ?

    I need help, i need buy or dowload some Professional Authoring DVD for IMAC, I editing in my Final Cut Pro X and need a DVD authoring
    after installing the Mavericks, my IDVD don't work, can someone help about this ?
    also, did you know if DVD studio pro its available for sale ? if yes, where's can I buy  ?
    thanks

    Apple discontinued DVD Studio Pro three/four years ago. You can probably find copies from private sellers, but whether it will work without problems on OS X 10.9 I don't know. I don't know of any "professional" alternative to DVDSP for Mac, but someone else here may be able to offer suggestions.
    As to iDVD, it should work under Mavericks, depending on what version of iDVD you're running. You might ask for assitance in the iDVD forum. For alternatives to iDVD, see this page for suggestions:

  • I have the late 2013 Macbook Pro 15 inch with apple care, and the display flickers in a certain spot at a certain brightness. Has anyone ever had this issue, and what did you do about it?

    I doubt this is a GPU issue i've restarted my Mac, but the shape of the flickering area is in a cone shape comming from the bottom edge from the right side in about 2 inches. I'm thinking this is a failing display?

    Apple will cover it if it was an accident or defect. Take it to a nearby Genius bar. I'm guessing its a graphics card or display issue. But the symptoms of a damaged GPU for me were different. I had issues with my last 13" MacBook Pro non-retina mid 2012. If I set it down or moved my machine, my screen would flicker and the pixels would be completely off and the whole system would freeze, even if I wasn't using it. If it fronze when I didn't use it, it would get REALLY hot. Like I said, if it's an accident and less than a year old, Apple will cover repairs. If it's older than a year and it was accidental, AppleCare won't cover it. If it was a defect, it will be covered as long as the AppleCare hasn't expired. If you buy a MacBook through BestBuy, you could buy BestBuy Care which covers accidental and defects. My friend fried his last machine with water and apple was going to charge him the price of a new machine and BestBuy charged about $900 and then he paid extra to upgrade to a new retina display.

  • Did you know about Flash Cookies?

    I know about regular cookies, and delete them... but had no idea there was such a thing as a Flash Cookie
    Read about 1/2 way down here http://windowssecrets.com/comp/100805

    Rod,
    Since you're a confessed geek with some actual coding chops, I'm sure you'll understand the hair I'm about to split here. Hang on a moment while I grab my axe...
    Even with your page jumps, the cookie isn't doing anything. It's just a text file named after a snack. What's causing your page to jump, browsers to redirect, and the moon to shift its gravitational field three degrees to the north is the code in the web page that's being loaded. True, it may look in the text file to see what IP address to report to, but the connection, handshaking, transfer of data and powering up of lasers are all on your web page (or the server side code being executed on its behalf). The cookie is little more than a poorly dressed informant hanging out on the street corner waiting to pass along tidbits of information when the right person asks. Doesn't exactly make it a savory character (name notwithstanding), but it's a harmless one nonetheless. If it's evil you seek, you'll find it in the web site, not the cookie. And that's why I never understood the religious fervor against cookies.
    Now, if you want a truly dangerous leave behind, at least on Windows, ActiveX controls are your guys. They're really just glorified COM objects, and thus have complete access to the entire Windows API. Give me permission to install an ActiveX control on your machine and I can rewrite your file system, start and stop services, reboot your computer, or just turn the screen a hyperintelligent shade of the color blue because it amuses me. Anything that can be done in Windows programming is essentially available to the ActiveX control.
    Of course, browsers got hip to this years ago, and now the default security settings for ActiveX are to not install automatically, or at least to query the user first. Or, as it's configured on my machine, feel free to install if you can make it past this shotgun pointed at your head. Maybe that's why there's not as much of a flap about ActiveX as there is about cookies. Because they're truly dangerous, the browser community took it seriously.and now only someone with a death wish allows a web page to install an ActiveX component.
    And overall, this is kinda my point. The much maligned cookie gets a bad rap while in truth it's the web page staring you right in the face that's preparing to rob, rape and pillage. But then, misdirection has always been a classic tactic in warfare.

  • How many times did you change the logic board?

    Hello everybody,
    I"m the formerly proud owner of an iBook G3. Solowly I"m getting tired of the logic board problem. I have AppleCare, but by now I"m sending my iBook twice a year for repair!
    By now I had my iBook sent to Care 5 times due to the logic board problem.
    Now I"d like to know if this is average, low or high ranking on the G3 exchange scale,
    Who can beat 5?
    Michael

    Michael,
    Mine has been back three times.
    If your iBook's logic board goes out again, I recommend that you call Apple and, instead of talking to Customer Support, immediately ask for Customer Relations. Be prepared with dates and details of your iBook's repair history, tell them you need a computer that is dependable, and your iBook just isn't. Then ask for a replacement. It has been known to happen.
    Good luck.

  • How did you learn about performance issues?

    I've been thinking about trying to get a LV certification, so I tried out the online test, and I've got a few questions about learning LV on a deeper level.
    One question asked whether it is more efficient to cast each piece of an array as its being built in a for loop, or to cast the entire array at once, after the array has been created.
    Another question asked, if array indexing is enabled on the output of a while loop then is the array resized on every iteration?
    I can make guesses at how LV works, but I really don't know what goes on under the hood. How do you pros know what's really going on with your code?
    Also for anyone out there who has been certified, can you pass the test with just experience, or do you have to undergo some NI training to learn some things? Has LV certification been beneficial to you?
    Thanks,

    Hi John,
    I have mentored 2 1/2 CLA's (the 1/2 is the "Architect Supreme" and she really only needed encouragement).
    Here are my suggestions.
    1) Study for the test you plan to take. Studying above the test level you are after can only confuse things.
    2) If you can get the funding, take the NI courses suggested for that test. Some of the Q's come from the text.
    3) Monitor this Exchange for questions regarding performance and speed.
    4) Use the search box at the top of this page and search for "Greg McKaskle". Some of the best performance info available is in his writtings.
    5) Use the "info-LabVIEW" serach engine that can be found at
    http://www.searchview.net/
    and search fro Greg McKaskle and Rolf Kalbermatter. Again great information.
    6) Make a habit of using the "Task manager>>> Performance screen while you are devloping and testing. It is a good way to find out what things are good and which are bad. You find out subtle things like straight line interpolation on a chart is faster than step interpolation.
    7) Read all of the LV release notes. The questions you posted are answered in those docs and changed in LV 6.0.
    8) Review the LabVIEW ZONE challenges. They are competitions based on performance. Read the reviews.
    9) Read the white papers. Do not miss 144!
    10) Start posting Q's on this Exchange. Let us expert (myself excluded) that prowl this list help out.
    Done for now,
    Ben
