Do Yosemite and Adobe CS5.0 play well together?

I'm a visual designer - both graphic and web. Adobe CS is how I do my work.
I had a disastrous time when I upgraded my (then) new desktop to Mavericks awhile back (it had just come out, right around the time I got my newest machine), was told by some Apple tech that "you can get a free upgrade of Keynote when you upgrade to Mavericks!!!" Was a knee jerk move on my part, caused almost every one of my apps to break since Mavericks was programmed to only work with the latest/bleeding edge versions of everything, apparently. Took me weeks and weeks to right my apps situation with the new OSX, not only my Adobe CS apps, but Powerpoint, my Epson printer drivers, zipping software, etc. etc. the list went on and on. Every time I thought I was good to go, something else broke. Ugh.
Now I've got a client working in the latest version of Keynote, and the latest OSX (Yosemite). I've been holding off on downloading Yosemite since the last debacle, although would be nice (I think - I've also noticed Apple's been denigrating Keynote lately ... tsk tsk) to have the free upgrade to the newest version of Keynote, as well.
My question is this - since I have INSTALLED (not cloud-based. Refuse to go to subscription based ... I want to OWN the copies of my apps) versions of Adobe CS 5.0-55 on my machine (only my INDD is 6.0), will Yosemite play nicely with those apps? And what about Office 2011 for Mac? (I only use PPT from this suite) Anyone have any experience with this, and can you confirm that you did NOT have a problem with these app versions when upgrading to Yosemite? I do not want to go through that mess again!
Thanks.

Sorry folks, should have poked around more before posting my question. Feedback can be found in the link below - in short, I'm NOT upgrading at this point in time. Sounds like the same thing going on with the new OSX as with Mavericks. Cannot afford to wade through hours of troubleshooting and catch up once again! (sigh)

Yosemite and adobe cs5 suite

Has anyone tested Yosemite with the adobe cs5 suite
Photoshop CS5 Extended
Illustrator CS5
etc....?
I do not plan to purchase any further upgrades to Adobe
I have been using their products in my business since 1994 and I have spent a fortune keeping them updated.
CS5 is as far as I will go
I do like to keep my Apple OSX updated
Macbook Pro 10.9.5

Hello Jonnny.
I use the same software as you, and have the same thoughts and issues, and have been searching the internet and Adobe forums for similar answers and questions. Many people are having issues and most are saying if you are running older versions of CS, (I don't think CS5 is that old!) then a Java update is needed and easily downloaded from the Apple website. Personally I will wait another 2 weeks or so before deciding, but I may just keep my Mavericks, the last time I upgraded it caused me countless hours of downloading and reinstalling software again, one of Apples pieces of software I enjoyed using was iDVD which is no longer supported and just about got it too work again on Mavericks, but not sure if it will work on Yosemite.

ICal, Mail, and Exchange don't play well together

I running Lion. Syncing happens for the most part, but there are bugs. When I create events, the name of the event reverts back to New Event after it syncs with the Exchange server. This isn't my biggest issue. The problem I desperately want to solve is that my calendar invitations do not show in Mail. The only way I can accept/decline invitations is in the iCal Invitations tray. This means that I cannot see comments people make in invitations, or even more importantly, when then decline my invitations. I know it works as it should for another user on our network, but not for me. We're both running the same apps and the same operating system.
Any thoughts on how to make the Apple apps play well, or what is the best way to wipe everything and start over? Fresh install, etc. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

I appreciate the response, but it's not the same issue. True, the "erasing the event name and reverting back to New Event" is the same, but as I said, that's not my biggest issue. I have not seen any other threads anywhere that reflect the issue of event invitations not showing in Mail (although I'm sure someone else has experienced it).
Sine there's someone else at my company with the same setup, and it's working, I was hoping that someone could suggest the best process for wiping everything out and re-installing. I used to do this back before the OSX days, but since OSX I've had so few problems that I've hardly ever needed to do any kind of support.

KVM switch and Mavericks don't play well together

I upgraded to Mavericks yesterday, and started having this very annoying problem with my KVM switch, which used to work fine with Mountain Lion. I've been using this KVM switch for my mac mini and PC, in order to share my keyboard and mouse, very stably for several months.
Basically, when switching back and forth, there is a chance that ALL the peripheral devices would stop working in Mavericks. This includes my apple bluetooth keyboard and the magic touchpad, which are not related with USB (or maybe the bluetooth chip is still hooked up via USB inside).
For some reason, screen sharing stops working too, althought the IP I was trying to connect to was the ethernet port.
If I try to do a shutdown -r now via SSH, the system tries to shut itself down, but would get stuck with a spinning animation on the screen.
There is nothing in the system log, no error message.
My KVM switch is an IOGear GCS42UW6. Connected USB devices are: Apple USB keyboard and Logitech G500 mouse.

10.8 worked well with my Mac Mini (2009) connected to IOGEAR KVM model GCS1108. My mouse is from Redmond and the keyboard is a Goldtouch.
Mavericks has a problem with my KVM switch as well. It seems to be a USB problem.
Case 1: The Mini's video is connected to the KVM switch -- mini DVI port to DVI. If the KVM USB cable (known good) is connected, the Mini chimes at boot but no grey Apple logo appears. LCD remains blank white. Boot does not progress.
Case 2: The Mini's video is connected to the KVM switch, as before. If the KVM USB cable is NOT connected, the Mini chimes at boot, the grey logo appears, and boot proceeds normally. Video is fine. I then connect the KVM USB cable to the Mini and use keyboard and mouse. KVM switching works as expected.
If the KVM USB cable is NOT connected but a keyboard and mouse are connected directly to the Mini, the boot sequence is normal. Video works.
The problem is not the hardware, all of which worked well with 10.8 (Mountain Lion). I would downgrade if Apple made 10.8 available from the App Store.

After Effects CC and Windows 8 not playing well together. How can I fix this?

I thought the problem was a specific project file, but then it happened during another, and then another that I was building without any funky assets. After Effects suddenly ceases to respond, it flickers uncontrollably while Windows 8 Explorer becomes semi-unresponsive as well. When AE becomes responsive again, the same thing happens when I go to make another edit or two.
Troubleshooting: What I noticed is when I go to the Task Manager to kill Explorer, AE responds again. Until I go to make another few edits at least, where it then starts to flicker uncontrollably again. Does anybody else have this problem? This is really putting a kink in my workflow.
Windows 8, 64-Bit

Ipod and ipad do not play well together with photo cache

Running windows 7 on an hp laptop. Ipod classic, original ipad. Itunes 11.3.1.2. No cloud involvement.
Each time I change between syncing my pad or pod, itunes seems to need to rebuild the photo cache. Nothing lost except about 10 to 15 minutes while all this is done and my entire photo library is copied to the device. Has anyone else seen this? any way to resolve it? Or perhaps have them each create their own cache directory?
Thanks!

LeePenn
Maybe give this a read. You might have a conflict between the OS level commands and something in Photoshops keyboard commands. Just a thought.

Just another data point on the Itunes/Win8 issue. My AppleTV, AppleRemote (in IP5), and Win7 machines all play well together. Sharing, control, etc all work fine. Alas, my Win8 desktop, running Itunes and sharing on, shows no sign of network life.

A bit more detail: AppleRemote controls AppleTV properly and sees the Win7 machine's shares. The Win8 desktop has updates installed for Itunes and all drivers. Itunes runs fine but does not share even though the computer is authorized and Sharing is turned on.
I have disabled the Windows Firewall and also disabled the MS Kernel Network Debugger. Neither AppleTV nor the AppleRemote App appear to be aware of the Win8 Itunes share at all.
Any suggestions or help are appreciated. From the looks of the posts, it appears that others are struggling with this one also.

I decided to keep my old 20" Core Duo iMac as a Server in the bedroom, and now use it as a television and PVR as well. I wouldn't have made much on eBay anyway.

F2FS and rEFInd don't play well together?

For a few days now I've been trying to install the F2FS file system onto an HP Envy 6 laptop with a tiny (30GB) Intel SSD. The SSD itself is enterprise-grade and is fully functional to my knowledge at the time of this writing. I will be testing that last statement later today so I may have to retract my last sentence if I prove that assumption to be false.
The problem is simple: I can install Arch using an up-to-date ISO and that's fine. In line with the wiki (see here: F2FS wiki page) I made the boot directory a 512MB Fat 32 EFI partition (EF00 type). I formatted all of my other partitions as F2FS volumes. This part works splendidly as far as I can see. However, when I reboot to finish the install I get a rEFInd splash screen but the normal icons (which are suppose to allow you to choose which install you want to boot into) are not visible. I only see the words and icons below the primary one (the ones for information, reboot and shutdown options). I have tried to install this with an older Arch ISO and I get (unsurprisingly) the same result (this is a net install after all).
I use Syslinux on my desktop machine and I'm very happy with it. I considered installing it instead of but its implementation is, at the present time, full of bugs and ugliness. I have used Gummiboot once in the past but it was only after several hours of trial and error that I got it to work. I have found rEFInd's installer to be simpler to use and has a more attractive presentation on the whole. For these reasons I would prefer to use rEFInd but if I have to I'll use something else if this issue is un-resolvable at this point in its development.
I have tried F2FS in the past but I opted to discontinue using it in the past because it lacked (at that time) an fsck mechanism to recover from crashes and other unexpected fun. As of a couple of weeks ago there was a commit that showed that F2FS does now have a viable fsck mechanism built-in.
I also would like to hear from anyone else's (un)succesful trials with F2FS. I'd be grateful to if I could reading any other person's first-hand experiences and opinion would of F2FS.
Edit: I forgot to add that I did look at the SSD wiki page entry but it only mentions F2FS as a possible file system to use and provides a link the Wikipedia's list of possible file systems to use for SSDs. See here: F2FS on SDDs
Thank you,
MoonSwan

Considering that rEFInd is not a bootloader at all and knows nothing about the filesystem of your rootfs, I am going to guess this has more to do with your rEFInd config than your choice of filesystem.
Maybe it would help if you posted your rEFInd config and a 'tree /boot' (you'll need the tree package from [community]).

Safari and 1passwords are not playing well together since updates??

Safari will not allow me to enter websites with 1passwords. When I input the password it reverts back to enter you pasword. I have updated to all of the newest versions and Safari is still not working. I am having no issues with Firefox. Been exchanging emails with Agilebits and have sent them two diagnostic reports, still no one has an answer?? Can anyone help?

Some people are having some problems although some fixed it with the following solution.
Go here https://agilebits.com/extensions/mac/index.html
Check the checkbox "Allow beta extensions"
and download the recent version of 1password for Safari.
Clean Up & Reset Safari by doing the following:
Many times corrupt application resources are the reason for an application's slow performance. Safari has a variety of these, and Apple has conveniently enabled quick resetting of these resources through the "Reset Safari..." option in the "Safari" menu. Despite this, some people may wish to still reset Safari's resources manually. To do this, Quit Safati and locate and remove the files in the following folders:
/username/Library/Cookies/
/username/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/
/username/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari/
Then remove the following from the /username/Library/Safari/ folder:
Downloads.plist
Form Values
History.plist
HistoryIndex.sk
LastSession.plist
LocalStorage (folder)
TopSites.plist
WebpageIcons.db
Delete caches
Safari enables you to remove its cache from the "Reset Safari" option; however, you can use a third-party cache cleaning utility built for your operating system to remove all system caches to clear any faults with them that might be affecting Safari. Several of these utilities are: OnyX
Get Onyx at: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/11582/onyx
After all of this open Safari

Suggestions? DVDSP4 and LaCie d2 not playing well together

Trying to burn dvd from SP4 to new LaCie d2 DVD external drive. I keep getting error message "#6" indicating that there's a problem with the power/ or bus reset.
I can burn an image from disk utilities, so I know that the Mac OS (10.4.2) can talk to this drive; I can also burn from Toast.
Neither LaCie nor Apple support knows for sure what's up. Recommendations?
Thanx!

Hi John,
I have a very similar setup. And found that connecting the external drive through the firewire interface proved to be a more robust solution than via usb.
Otherwise our external La Cie burner runs faultlessly on a wide variety of host machines.

Actiontec dsl Gateway and WRT160N don't play well together

I have an actiontec dsl gateway router as my entry point to the network that also provides one wireless zone downstairs. Upstairs where the signal is weak I had long used an apple airport connected via ethernet cable. Then the apple died and I chose to replace it with a WRT160n. Although everything checked out fine during configuration, it would drop connections and although it appeared was impossible sometimes to connect to with lots of timeouts etc.
Now the entire network has slowed down considerably. After I took off the new router things sped up again. Any ideas on how to set this up better or troubleshoot what's happening?

Adjust the Wireless Settings on your Router -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...Under Setup change the MTU to 1350 and save the changes...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bit.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...
Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...
Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

I'm new to the Apple products. How can I view pdf files since Apple and Adobe don't play together?

I'm new to the Apple products. How can I view pdf files and videos since Apple and Adobe don't play together? Also, what operating system does the iPhone use? I'm a Windows person.

You may want to download and read the manual for your phone. It may answer a lot of the basic questions.

There is an app on your phone called "Mail". Yes, it's for reading your email.
Best of luck.

Yosemite and Adobe CS Master 5?

Hi everyone. I left a job with a severe spine injury 3 years ago. I had just bought a Mac Pro and Adobe Master CS 5. I've had Quark on my system also, so I've never upgraded my OS past 10.6.8. Since I can't afford new software right now, and Ill be on disability at least til after my next scheduled surgery, can I upgrade to Yosemite and use CS Master 5 with it? I might be able to get Quark back since I purchased all of the software for work and used my name for everything (I was the only Mac user in North America).

Compelling? No. I just feel like I'm falling behind with my injury and lack of production. That's it.
I have a couple of clones. One on my partitioned 2nd internal and one on my USB External TB drive. I was going to do it the reverse way and boot up off the cloned internal if or when I needed 10.6.8 (Quark) and in case I f'd the whole system up with Yosemite. I probably shouldn't be making any major moves due to the pain remedies they've given me to get me to the next surgery (which is why I'm boring apple users with personal BS).
Anyway, I'll load Yosemite on my external. I'll partition it into 2 drives so I can keep 10.6.8 on there as well.
Does that sound like a better alternative? Like I said, I shouldn't be overhauling everything without 100% of my faculties (or whatever I normally have left).
Would you do anything different. Have you installed Yos yet? Is it stable if yes. My girlfriend has an Airbook with 10.7.5 and I was going to install Yos on it since I've just loaded GIMP and other free web/imaging software for her photography. Would you do the Airbook or just same advice and use her external clone drive?

Thanks so much for the detailed instructions...but they didn't seem to work.
At this point I've erased the drive and reinstalled Yosemite. I haven't brought any files or applications back in yet, but things are still moving really slow. Here's my latest EntreCheck report. Any insight would be very helpful.
Problem description:
sytstem, even after a bringing it back to factory settings, is still running really really slow

Do Yosemite and Adobe CS5.0 play well together?
