Downgrade from CS5.5 to CS5

Is it possible to downgrade and use CS5 to open files saved in CS5.5?  I think there is a major bug in AME CS5.5.
Thanks

Yes, you can open them.... at least simple projects, anyway. It'll ask you to save a new copy of the project with the _1 attachment, like it does going from CS5 to 5.5... I've successfully gone back to CS5 with a 5.5 project when I had issues with 5.5 giving me a successful export with corrupted video drivers (since fixed that problem, and it wasn't a problem in 5.5... it was a problem on my system).
However, as shooter says, I wouldn't recommend it as best practice, and I wouldn't be surprised if some of your bigger projects would end up getting corrupted or missing bits of information...

  • Going to downgrade from CC to CS5.1, what do I need to do?

    I'm 2 days away from the end of my CC trial, and would like to go back to using my CS5, which I have the serial number and everything for, but is already installed on my Mac as an expired trial period.
    How do I do this without screwing up? Will I need to completely wipe my CC off my mac before I attempt doing my CS5?
    Also I've got lots of files created using the CC Photoshop and Indesign, is there a quick / mass way of me converting all these files so that they are compatible with my CS5 when its installed?
    Really appreciate any help you can give!
    thanks

    PSD files are compatible when saving with maximum compatibility. ID fiels need to be saved back to an older format or exported as IDML. The rest is unclear, but you might want to read this:
    Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    If your activation is botched completely, call support to reset it.

  • Downgrading from cs6 to cs5.5 ?

    I have a Mac osx 10.8.4.  Having rendering problems with cs6 after effects.  Slow and buggy and lack of memory erros.  Does not perfome well at all.  After reading many forums about issue.  I have desided to move back to CS5.5 after effects. 
    Here is the problem.  I have CS5 design premium.  I have located a CS5.5 after effects upgrade.  Can i upgrade one stand alone application from a suite?  I know you can not do that upgrading from cs5.5 to cs6, but what about moving backwards?
    If not, can I increase memory and power to a 3.06 GHZ intel core i3, 4gb 1333 MHz Ram Mac?  Will this solve the problem? 
    Thanks,
    Maria

    > I am on the creative cloud now.  I am using the newest CS6 applications.  I assumed that they would be updated through the cloud.
    No. You have control over when to apply updates, including bug-fix updates.
    > If I have design premuim cs5, can I upgrade ONLY the After Effects application with a stand alone AE cs5.5 upgrade?
    I don't think so. You'll need to contact Customer Service about that:

    > AE still renders slow.
    If you give us more specifics, including exact error messages and what you're doing that is slow, we may be able to help you.

  • Swf previews in browser and doesn't work on server after upgrade from cs3 to cs5

         I have upgraded from CS3 to CS5. My site uses a template created in dreamweaver 8.  When I edit a page and embed a .swf file created in flash cs5, it doesn't work on my server, but works on my computer when I 'test in browser'.  I have uploaded all the files in the 'scripts' directory.  I am streaming video.  I have tried using both actionscript 2.0 and 3.0 and streaming .flv and .f4v.  None work.
    I have a big site and do not wan't to redo my template unless I absolutely have to.

    It's not 100% clear from your post, but you should be aware that CS5 plugins should not work in CS5.5. Because of a CS5.5 bug, CS5 plugins will load in InDesign 7.5.0, but that is fixed in 7.5.1 so they will not load.
    You should lean a bit harder on Virginia Systems. They should be able to tell you how to get them the stack trace from the crash which they should be able to look at and tell you which plugin (if any) is responsible for the crash. I could do it for Mac OS X but I don't know how under Windows. You could start by looking at the Event Viewer, though. That may have some helpful information about the crashes and the faulting module.

  • Upgrade paths from cs5 to cs5.5

    Hello,
    I just got off the phone with customer service. I upgraded from CS4 to CS5 in late December. I would like to upgrade InDesign from CS5 to the 5.5 version. I was told this isn't an option because I own the suite.
    This perplexes me since I have purchased many, many single items from Adobe in the past--from Pagemaker 3 pretty much on. Is it really true that once I went to CS2 I abandoned my rights to upgrade individual products?
    It seems a bit unreasonable, after spending $600 at the end of last year, that now, three months later, I need to spend another $400 just to update one program. Am I missing something?
    I am posting here because the representative I spoke with had a really, really hard time understanding English and I'm not sure he even got my question. It took him over a half hour just to find my account and verify that I had a registered version of Design Premium. He told me that part of the problem was that I have purchased so many Adobe (and Macromedia) products over the past 15 years that I now have four accounts and that it was not possible to consolidate all my software under one single account. This also sounds very odd. HELP!
    Thanks!

    I looked into crossgrading. The whole thing was a comedy of errors. My new custom built super-charged PC developed an un-diagnoasable software error, and then got stolen after being sent in for repaired. At the time, it seemed like my best option was to start the migration from Windows, buy a Mac laptop, get software to run on it, yet still keep my Windows options open in case the PC was found. I was using a backup PC to keep work on schedule.
    I used one of my Macromedia cross-platform suite products to upgrade to the Mac CS3 suite. So it wasn't as expensive as it could have been. In hindsight, yes, I should have just abandoned the PC and crossgraded. But I was very fearful after all the computer issues I had encountered that I would have problems with one or the other of the two computers and I felt I needed some redundancy just to ensure I didn't have more downtime.
    I'll look through the Adobe site for a license transfer form. When I called several months ago, the agent, made it sound like these were very difficult to come by. Or perhaps, the agent just didn't know. I've ran into this several times with Adobe. One agent tells you one thing, another says something entirely different. Customer service is lacking in my opinion.

  • Can't find this info anywhere... Can I upgrade from CS3 to CS5 or CS5.5?

    After using Adobe products for years and years, it's not only my opinion but the opinion of many of my colleagues that CS upgrades are only worth it about every other upgrade. That might be a subjective opinion, but it does lead in to my question: Does anyone know if I can upgrade from CS3 to CS5 or CS5.5?? I can't find that info anywhere on Adobe's site.
    Thanks!

    Does anyone know if I can upgrade from CS3 to CS5 or CS5.5??
    The Adobe Buying Guide clearly states that the answer for CS3 to CS5.5 is yes.
    Design Premium example (other Creative Suites are the same):
    http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/design/buying-guide.displayTab2.html
    You won't be able to buy CS5 from Adobe (not that you'd have any reason to).

  • Files from IDML or CS5, 5.5 become very slow in InDesign CS6

    Windows 7 64 bit, core 2 duo, 8 gb ram, plenty of open space on the hard drive.
    Files work just fine in CS5 and CS5.5. Opening one of them in CS6 and working in them when just opened is also fine. After saving the file as a CS6 document, closing, and reopening in CS6, selecting text becomes extremely slow...merely putting the cursor in a text frame results in significant delay--the toolbar goes blank and takes several seconds before it redraws. Proceeding to select text and typing changes causes similar behavior.
    Opening an IDML file causes similar behavior after the file is saved as CS6 and closed.
    Files created in CS6 do not have this problem. It only seems to happen to files converted from previous versions or from IDML.
    Does not happen consistently, so I suppose it could be a font issue, although the files in question were originally built on a Mac and are being opened on the PC.

    OS is Win7 64 professional.
    Turned off Live Preflight etc., tried the .idml export, same problem.
    It's only on these specific files that have been opened from a .idml source which came from a Mac system. I had to replace fonts since we did not own the typefaces provided with the packaged files, so I am definitely suspecting a font issue. The original typefaces were OpenType and have been replaced with Adobe versions, although the problem does occur with the OpenType fonts in place.
    For now I can work in them using CS 5.5 with no trouble. When time permits I may rebuild these from scratch in CS6, as they are simple layouts anyway, although I also want to figure out exactly what is the cause. Fonts are the chief suspect even though I have them installed locally. I am going to try replacing them with completely different typefaces from newer sources to see if that makes a difference.

  • Printing from Adobe Photoshop CS5 on a HP Color Laserjet CP5225 printer

    Hi
    When I want to print something out from Photoshop CS5 on my printer I get this error.
    PCL XL Error
    Subsystem: KERNEL
    Error: IllegalOperatorSequence
    File name: derived_scr/1x55.ndbg.kernel.c
    Line number: 1820
    My windows system is Windows xp proffesional with servicepack 3.
    If I print out from other program I don´t get any errors.
    This is a new printer and before I got this I had a HP Color Laserjet CP5225 and there were no
    problems printing out from Adobe Photoshop CS5.
    I really hope someone can help my quickly because I have some tickets I have to print out for tomorrow.
    Kind regards

    You posted in the wrong forum, and an admin moved it for you.
    Unfortunately the error is from the printer driver, not Photoshop.
    Assuming you're using the latest version of Photoshop (12.0.4 or 12.1), you need to contact HP for an updated driver to fix their bugs.
    (if you don't have the latest version - go update now)

  • Why can't I open files from ACR to CS5?

    I have been using CS5/Bridge/ACR for a year now and all of the sudden, I cannot get the RAW images from ACR into CS5.  I always open my RAW files from Bridge, make my adjustments in ACR, then select all and open images into CS5.  This has always worked just fine, but recently only a random number of images will open, if any at all!
    For example, If I select 10 images to open in CS5, it may be 4 that open, or it could be 8, or it could be 0.  I haven't done anything new to my computer.  I have uninstalled photoshop and reinstalled it twice and that hasn't helped.
    I am so frustrated.  I thought I purchased a quality product (which I have loved until now since I can't even get my files in to use the program!) and am so dissapointed that I can't use it anymore.
    Hopefully someone can help me.  I really want to use photoshop again!

    You could try to reset Bridge preferences.  Hold down the Ctrl key and start Bridge.  You should get a reset window with 3 options.

  • I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

    I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

    I would first of all trash the preference file for InDesign, make sure the application is closed then find the prefs in
    /Users/USER NAME/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign and just throw the entire folder away, it will generate a new one after you launch InDesign again.
    Now launch InDesign and see if the problems are resolved.
    If not I would repair your permissions on your hard drive wih disk utility, and if that fails then di-install InDesign and re-install that single application.
    Let me know if any of these suggestions work for you
    I will be checking my email although you might have to wait for a response as I will be taking a microlight flight over the Victoria Falls tomorrow. Yay can hardly wait.

    i would like to make an upgrade from creative suite cs5 to cs6 what is the price for student edition and what i have to do, i do not found in your website price

    There are no upgrades for student editions. You simply buy a fresh license at the discounted price.

  • Upgrading from CS3 to CS5 issues

    I work at a medium size College on a pretty small team, 1 editor/writer, 1 communications coordinator, and 1 designer (me). I've been using InDesign (ID) for 5 years now and we added on the InCopy (IC) workflow a few years ago with CS3 (both of us then had CS3). The editor and I just recently upgraded from CS3 to CS5 and we've hit a snag. I opened a project, the Academic Catalog in fact, in CS5 that we began in CS3 which we were almost finished with and when I tried to check out a story I got this error.
    "This story needs to be converted to "InCopy Document" format in order to edit it."
    The editor got the same message in IC. So I thought maybe files created by CS3 for IC don't work with CS5 so I decided to try to unlink the INCX files in ID and relink. Sure enough it created a new ICML file which the editor was able to open, edit, and save in IC. And I thought I had my problem solved until I opened the file in ID; when I tried to update the linked file ID crashed. I've tried unsuccessfully to get the updated stories from IC to update in ID w/o crashing. I've restarted the computer; it is Windows afterall. I've run 'Updates' in both our programs, and it says there are none. I've tried tossing the ID and ICML file; fortuanalty I was smart enough to do all this with a copy of the orginal CS3 file. I followed all my above steps a second time and it's still crashing. I'm not sure what to do at this point. Does anyone have any ideas? Is there a known issue like this?
    btw, we're both running Windows Vista and both in CS5 (7.0).

    AM
    I might just have to go back to CS3 to finish this project up—fortunatly I foresaw an issue like this and kept CS3 installed. That will most likely solve the problem with this project, provided it too does not crash. And that is my concern for future 'new' projects in CS5, are those going to crash too? I think I'll do some testing with my editor.
    Bob,
    What type of additional info would help?
    Thanks,
    Colleen

  • From cs2 to cs5 and i'm stuck already!

    Hi,
    just loaded my brand new photoshop cs5 extended, a big jump from cs2, and i'm stuck!
    I create a new page to build a design on, i open an image and it replaces the page, i open a different image and it replaces the last image. if i delete the last image every file goes. what has changed from cs2 to cs5 that wont allow me to build a project?
    HELP!!

    i should have stayed with magic markers!
    Wouldn’t that have been a strain on your nasal cartilage?
    Maybe you can still find the Help-pdfs for CS3 and CS4 online and check out their respective »What’s New«-sections to get a more or less full list of the changes.

  • Image will not load from lightroom to CS5

    I am having an issue with external editing from lightroom to CS5!  From develope>edit in CS5>images does not load!  CS5 loads but the MAC finder app comes up asking me to choose a file!  Never have I seen this.  I looked into the preferences and the external editing, but its in the external editing already.  Help!

    Make sure your external editor settings link to the application in support files (hidden on Lion) rather than a shortcut.

  • Porting from CS4 to CS5, save document failed.

    I am porting programes from CS4 to CS5, and meet a problem.
    In my program I need delete some page from a indesign document and then save it back.
    I open the document use the code below
    InterfacePtr<IK2ServiceRegistry>    serviceRegistry(Porting::GetPointerToSession(), UseDefaultIID());
            ASSERT(serviceRegistry);
            if (!serviceRegistry)
                break;
            InterfacePtr<IK2ServiceProvider> openManagerService(serviceRegistry->QueryDefaultServiceProvider(kOpenManagerService));
            ASSERT(openManagerService);
            if (!openManagerService)
                break;
            InterfacePtr<IOpenManager>  openManager(openManagerService, IID_IOPENMANAGER); // no kDefaultIID
            ASSERT(openManager);
            if (!openManager)
                break;
            UniFile fileDocument = fTemplateCopyFile;
            UIDRef DocumentRef = openManager->OpenDocFromFile(&fileDocument,kFullUI);
    and then delete some page
    for( int i = 0; i < fnPageCountOfCopy; ++i )
                UID idPage = fvPageUID[i];
                if ( fPageIDList.DoesNotContain(idPage) )
                    UIDRef refPageToDelete( fTemplateCopyUIDRef.GetDataBase(), idPage );
                    InterfacePtr<ICommand> deleteCmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kDeletePageCmdBoss ));
                    if( deleteCmd )
                        UIDList tempList(refPageToDelete);
                        deleteCmd->SetItemList( tempList );
                        ErrorCode status = CmdHelper::ProcessCommand( deleteCmd );
    then save it back
    pOldHandler->SaveAs(fTemplateCopyUIDRef,
                &fTemplateCopyFile,
                K2::kSuppressUI,
                kFalse,
                kInDesignFileTypeInfoID);
    but save failed. The code works on CS4, but does not work on CS5.
    Does anybody know why? Any suggestion is appreciated.

    I found that delete operation will affect save operation, but I don't know why and how to solve it.
    Is it a threading problem?

  • Is it possible to use a file from CS6 in CS5.5

    I'm hoping to buy CS6 but I use CS5.5 at college. Is it possible to bring a file from CS6 into CS5.5. If not, where can I get CS5.5?

    PS files are backward compatible if you save them with maximum compatibility enabled. likewise, AI files can be saved back to older versions. Of course in both cases specific features from CS6 will be lost or rasterized to pixels, so they are not editable in CS5.5. In Design might be a bit more tricky. It supports saving back to CS5.5, but this may completely ruin your documents, if you use the new dynamic layout features, Arabic text etc., so it's less useful to go that route.
