DW CC 2014 Issues

I decided to "Upgrade" DW to CC 2014. First problem. This is NOT AN UPGRADE! This is a new installation. The button in Creative Cloud should say 'Install' and not 'Upgrade'. This is extremely irritating! Please give your customers credit for having a brain.
Second issue:
I have Creative Cloud set to install Apps to D:\Program Files. You can only set one path. I understand that DW is still 32 bit, so maybe a second path for 32 bit programs needs to be added to this part of the setting interface? Anyway, I have a fairly small SSD drive for my 'OS Only'. However, DW CC 2014 installed itself to C:\Program Files (x86). This is a serious problem. I'm not sure how to fix this? Do I need to maybe set the Apps install path to D:\Program Files (x86) and keep up with what are 32 bit programs and what are 64 bit programs and change this back and forth based on updates and installs?
I have only run the 'Update' which is actually an 'Install' on Dreamweaver so far. If I update the rest of the suite, will it also install to the wrong drive?
Another nice feature within Creative Cloud would be 'Uninstall'. It seems I need to go do an uninstall of DW CC 2014 at the moment, and see what is left behind.
I'm not a very happy Adobe CC customer. These seem like very amateur mistakes by your programmers.

Hi ew3d,
We have heard this request across several forums and we are looking to address it. Thank you for your suggestion.
Thanks,

Bridge open in Layers PS CS6/CC 2014-issue

Hi there. I am currently using PS CC 2014 but still have PS CS6 an my HDD. As soon as I try to open several pics into layers from Bridge, CS6 NOT CC starts to do so...?!
I have a 2012 MacBook Pro with Mavericks installed.

Oh.
As mostly the simpliest Answer ist the best.
Of course I did NOT have Bridge CC installed. I must have assumed, it would
be installed together with PS CC in a Bundle...
Thank you very much

Edge Animate CC 2014 issue with SVG - Images greater than 1024 x 1024

Hi, since i updated my Edge Animate CC for Edge Animate CC 2014 i have issues when i import .svg files. Edge told me "Images greater than 1024 may cause unexpected behavior on mobile device" when i import .svg files smaller than 1024 x 1024 ?
When i publish my animation i have a weird things happening and my image scaling default is 10% instead of 100% when i import. Someone had this issue ? Something we can do ? My images a less then 1024 x 1024 and work perfectly in Edge Animate CC 2.0

Ok. I've solved. I needed to load some things:
EC.Parallax.setup (sym);
The full code (that works for me) is:
-- compositionReady:
EC.Parallax.setup(sym);
// Load Edge Commons
yepnope({
load: [
"http://cdn.edgecommons.org/an/1.1.0/js/min/EdgeCommons.js",
// Load style sheet for the overlay
"http://cdn.edgecommons.org/an/1.1.0/css/style.css"
-- click
// Open image in spotlight overlay
// Set up configuration
var config = {
width: "1024",
height: "768",
type: "image",

EC.Spotlight.open( config );
I hope to serve others.

PP CC 2014 and AE CC 2014 issues an nMacPro

My frustration with the combination of Adobe and the new MacPro grows. I’ve posted in here before and everyone has been helpful, I’m hoping you can help shed some light once more. First I’ll explain the issue then let you know how the system is arranged.
Issue 1: PP CC 2014 and AE CC 2014 seem to be struggling with each other. Renders in PP take an extreme amount of time if AE is open. Once closing AE, PP will increase render speed by at least 4x-6x faster (no exact calculation, it gets a lot faster). Dynamic Link between the two is really poor performance. Basic text titles with keyframed opacity changes in AE Dynamically Linked to PP, take forever to render. This is not heavy lifting or anything crazy effects or 3rd party plugins. Basic text. Again, if I close AE, the render speed increases. This is obviously not a good workflow. The reason our studio switched back to PP three years ago, was the improved workflow of Dynamic Link across Adobe products. This is proven to get worse, at least in the case of the new MacPro and CC 2014.
Issue 2: When editing in PP, often times the program stops playing back anything. You can scrub the time indicator, but no video plays and no audio plays. It hangs. Pressing the space bar or selecting the play key does nothing. The only way to get the program to react is a restart. This is on a timeline with one or two 1920 x 1080 video sources. Not heavy lifting for a program that boasts about playing native 6K footage. This is a more recent development.
With both issues presenting themselves in different projects, it is not isolated rot a single project that may have been corrupted. I have switched Mercury Playback to software only. It does help somewhat, but not nearly enough to call it a workaround for now. The frustrating part is this problem does not exist on 2011 MacBookPro. That is extremely frustrating given the NMB costs 10x what a new MacBookPro would’ve cost.
The setup: New Mac Pro 2.7 Ghz 12-core 64GB RAM Dual D700 Graphics Cards 1TB internal flash drive. OSX 10.9.4. Adobe CC 2014 stored on internal drive. Project is stored and playing from a 1TB (Journaled) Seagate drive connected through the following: Thermaltake dock esata connection to a Sonnet Tempo Sata Pro 6GB Express Card in a Sonet Echo ExpressCard Pro Thunderbolt adapter connect via Thunderbolt to the nMP.
RAM allocated to Adobe products is 52GB with 12GB remaining for “other” system essentials. Scratch disks are set to the project disk so all media and scratch disks stay together. We typically work on 3-4 projects at a time, this setup allows us to keep track of everything.
The above setup and issues are present on the nMP. Compared to a 2011 MBP 2.3 Ghz core i7 8GB RAM AMD Radeon 670M 1024MB graphics card. OSX 10.8.5. The MBP is connected to the drive via the Sonnet esata card and shows no signs of issue 1 or issue 2.
Any thoughts and suggestions on how to help these issues are greatly appreciate. I’ll even take general comments on how to make the system better. Currently the nMP is an expensive paper weight and Adobe is losing my confidence in PP.

This is not an answer but an addition to this problem. I am not trying to hijack but i feel my issues are very similar to what BMercer was having.
I just recently bought the new mac pro with 500gb ssd internal , 6 core, 64gb ram and dual d700s.
I upgrade and purchased CC after i was pretty well convinced that CC was the way to go for this computer as opposed to CS6.
Fo how much i spent on this new computer and new CC subscription i feel this should be functioning better.
I have noticed when i have very basic files on the timeline(1920x1080, no effects) they are still dropping frames or i cannot scrub through them smoothly. As mentioned by BMercer for a machine capable of handling 6k these DSLR files should be pretty simple.
I am trying to do a time lapse for a client and I am having extremely slow load times. This is more difficult but i still believe it should be loading way faster then this.
About 2000 frames of raw DSLR photos simply compiled in AE then opened the sequences in PP and placed them into the timeline. This is taking about 45-60min to render the timeline. I have to do this because scrubbing or trying to play goes nowhere.
This i could accept as well except for when i look at the stats of the computer in the activity monitor and Istats the CPU maintains a 60-70% idle, the GPU stays very low and the max ram combined usage is about 15gb(memory pressure doesn't even show on the graph). So I would assume from this there is nothing i can see that is "holding" the computer back.
I have the exact same MBP as BMercer and i am having far less issues with doing the exact same files rendered from a relatively slow thunderbolt external drive.
Is this a setting issue? Or is this something we can expect to see an update to?
Sorry again for tagging below you but i felt our issue and answers may be similar.

Edge Animate CC 2014 pasting SVG's from Illustrator CC 2014 issues

I am working on an html5 interactive map in which only certain US States which have an active service area for this particular product will be a different color, with an interactive text box that will pop up on hover.
My background is a plain, gray, US map with all the state borders outlined in white copied from my Illustrator file. My plan was to add just the states with an active service area as a new layer on the Stage, after I make it red and copy it from Illustrator separately. However, after I do this successfully for the first 2 or 3 states, the next state I try to add, regardless of the actual state I choose next, or the name I give the incoming .svg image, fails to display within my .an file.
Please fix or help! This project should have already been completed, but I have wasted 3 or 4 versions in attempt to get these svg's to display as they should. If I have to go the route of saving each layer as a .png first, the project is going to take me 10 times longer than it should if this feature was working properly.
Thanks,
Troy

Hey Troy, apologies for the delay.
I just tried this and did not experience the issue you describe. I went through nine copy (Illustrator) and paste (Edge) process. Each came through successfully.
I don't suppose you are hitting a memory issue! I have 16gigs of Ram so I may be getting more use out of my upper memory allocation. I am also using the latest versions of both - is this your case as well.
If need be and you want to get all of the states separated as svg, individually, you may want to have to a look at this Illustrator script - Export Illustrator Layers to SVG files | Thomas Byrne

Edit in PhotoShop CC 2014 issue

When in Lightroom 5 and I select "edit in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014" it doesn't create a copy in tif or psd format (or jpg format) like it did in previous versions. A box use to pop up allowing me to set the file type, color space etc then in Lightroom I would get a second file (filename-edit.xxx) and photoshop would open that file for editing. I am very use to this workflow from my previous versions of LR 4 and cs3... Any help is appreciated!

I didn't ask the question here, it probably wasn't asked in the best forum to begin with and a moderator moved it here... When I first initiated a post the Lightroom forum was not an option offered. I later found the "All Communities" but not until I exhausted a search for similar questions that landed me in the Adobe CC area where I first made this post!

SQL 2014 Issues

I have setup SQL 2014 for my DB server, however the pre-requisite check is failing. When I checked the compatibility on TECHNET, 2014 is listed as supported for SCCM 2012 R2. Can someone let me know if there is a patch that's needed.
Thanks in advance

ConfigMgr 2012 R2 are supported with SQL 2014.
Just use the 3020755 hotfix.

I need to find out how to contact upeer management to try and resolve an issue before I open a complaint with the Attorney Generals Office as well as the Better Business Bureau and social media.

I have been with Verizon for 15 years. I have a family share plan with 2 smart phones a standard phone and a jetpack for wireless access. I pay for insurance on the 2 smartphones. Approximately a year ago I made a payment arrangement to continue service on my account even though I had some business difficulties. I was told that while the arrangement was in place I could not make any changes to my account. However, since then I have had the following issues and when I try and contact Verizon to try and resolve them I am place on eternal hold or disconnected.
Issue #1: My daughter lost her phone in June 2014. (The contract on this phone was up in 2013) I have been told that I cannot replace the phone even though I pay the insurance premium of $9.95 a month. I have been billed for it and have also been charged $54.87 for the monthly service as well. The phone has not made or received a call since June 4, 2014 yet I have been charged $274.38 I just was able to have the service suspended at the store today, 11/29/2014
Issue #2 My phone has intermittent flaws, locking up and reuring rests, dropping calls, failing to receive calls etc along with horrible battery life. I went into the local verizon store and they ordered me a refurbished replacement phone which was subsequently sent to me. When I received it I took it to the store to have them assist me in setting it up properly. I was told that I should NOT set it up but send it back due to some physical damage present on my old phone that would most likely result in a $150 charge...it was recommended that I just upgrade my phones as they were all out of contract and that would be the best solution. I asked the manager if that would be possible due to the "terms" on my account and she said "it would not be a problem". I was interested in an Iphone 6 which was not in stock so I sent the replacement phone back and left, to wait for the phone to become available.
Issue #3 I had a JetPack that was recently stolen from my car. I stopped in to ask what to do about it (it is no longer under contract either) They suspended the service and recomended I wait until I upgraded my other phones and then get a new Jet Pack. I just received noticed that they were going to continue billing me for it this week, even though it has been out of contract for several months??????
I recently went to Best Buy to take advantage of their Black Friday deals and was told that based on the status of my account I was ineligible for any upgrades. We called Verizon from the Best Buy and they told me that I needed to address my account status (I just made the scheduled payment on the 23rd of Nov) either with Financial Services or go to a Corporate Store. I went to the store and was told there was nothing that could be done at that level, I would need to talk to financial services (which was closed)
So, I am extremely frustrated and upset with this whole situation and wanted to make one more attempt to resolve it with Verizon before I make a full blown complaint to the Attorney Generals Office, the Better Business Bureau as well as post this incredibly BAD customer service story on social media. I hope that I hear from someone ASAP as this is critical that I get things resolved immediately. I can be reached at [removed].

Complain to the Attorney General about what? There is nothing in your story worth any such complaint. They will tell you the same.
First you have payment difficulty so credit and the Edge program are not available to you. You have to be credit worthy to get any upgrade, unless you can pay full price for all those new devices.
Can you?
You are trying to get new contract plans, but since you are having paying on time and in full issues you will not get extended credit from any carrier.
What I would do is go and port out to Boost or Virgin Mobile where you pay a reduced cost for each device and get unlimited everything for $40 to $50 a month, it is pre pay so if you don't pay you get cut off.
Verizon although with the best coverage is also the highest priced.
Good Luck

SQL 2014 performance

We have a fresh install of SQL 2014 running on Windows 2012 R2 running in Production.
We tested this extensively first and most of our code ran as fast as SQL 2012 or slightly better.
Pure engine processes such as Backup jobs run about 30% faster.
However, now that we’re in Production for the first day we’re seeing some very sporadic performance.
For example, 90% of our jobs are running just fine. 10% of the jobs are running significantly longer.
Jobs that used to take 7-8 minutes are now running in 40 minutes plus.
Not only is this slowing down our server in general but it’s causing a lot of blocking issues.
We’re convinced this is a SQL 2014 issue and not hardware.
Using iometer we can tell that this server outperforms our old server.
SQL doesn’t always substantiate the numbers we’re seeing from iometer as far as performance compared to our old server.
We’re running on RTM, not Cumulative Update 1.
Our hardware is a beast of a server; DL580 G8, 384 GB ram, only 2 physical hard drives (running the OS/SQL) and the rest are Fusion iO cards.
We have 9 total Fusion cards for the database, log and tempdb.
Our old server is also a very robust server: DL380 G8, 384 GB ram, 48 physical drives and 2 Fusion iO cards for tempdb.
Has anyone else deployed SQL 2014? Has anyone else encountered these sporadic performance issues?
If so, did cumulative update 1 fix the issues?
Separate question: If I put my database in 2012 compatibility mode and do a backup, can SQL 2012 read the SQL 2014 backup?
Thanks in advance,
André

We applied CU2 last night. Things seem to be better this morning but we're still seeing some differences between SQL 2012. Here are 2 of the biggest issues we're seeing.
1 - views are slow. We have queries that use views that are taking forever. In some cases the view might be a simple "select 10 fields from table" type of views. If we change our query to use the base table instead of the view, the query
finishes very quickly. As an example, a query using the view takes 3 minutes. If we change the query to use the base table instead of the view it finishes in 5 seconds.
2 - inner joins are slow compared to "not exists" or "exists". Back when we migrated from SQL 2000 to 2008 we were told that joins were faster, so we migrated our code to use joins and our code flew. Now we're seeing performance issues on some,
but not all, queries that use joins.
3 - inner joins are not able to see the outside table. For example, this query worked just fine in SQL 2012, and it throws an error in 2014
select
top100
fromcustomers c(nolock)
inner
join(selectcorpnumber,fdate,code
fromdbo.FN_Customers_ParseCodes(c.rcode,c.corpnumber,c.fdate))r
onr.corpnumber=c.corpnumber
where
c.importtimestamp='2014-06-30
15:37:17.347'
and
c.customerid='123'
The error it throws is:
Msg 4104
,Level16,State1,Line
2
The multi
-part identifier "c.codes" could
notbe bound.
Msg 4104
,Level16,State1,Line
2
The multi
-part identifier "c.corpnumber" could

Can't Start Edge Services - Certificate Issue?

Similar to this
post, my edge services (a/v edge, web conferencing edge, etc) will not start with errors like 7023 and 7024. I went to the
Digicert Utility page linked in that post and if I enter sip.domain.com, I receive an error:

Subject
"edgeservername"."domain".com

External Cert Info:

SANs: sip."domain".com, "edge server name"."domain".com, meet."domain".com, "av server"."domain".com, "wc server"."domain".com, dialin."domain".com
Let me know if more information about the cert or the edge server is needed. Thanks!

The two DigiCert High Assurance Root CA certificates should not be in the Personal Store, but installed in the "Trusted Root Certification Authorities". I would also recommend double checking the the Current User's personal certificate store .
Have you installed the DigiCert Utility on the Edge server and tested the certificates (https://www.digicert.com/util/)?
This tool checks the certificates from the perspective of the server.
The http://www.digicert.com/help/ site checks the certificates from the perspective of an external client. If the Utility is
showing the certificates are correct but the Help site still shows the error, make sure your sip.domain.com IP is pointing to the Edge Access IP and not the Reverse Proxy.

Can't uninstall Photoshop CC without uninstalling PS CC 2014

When I go to uninstall PS CC the uninstall wizard from adobe also checks PS CC 2014 to be uninstalled. And there doesn't seem to be a way to uninstall just the older version. Is anyone else having this issue?

I must say I'm very disappointed by Adobe on this issue. If there is an issue with the software at least let us know you're working on it. Or provide a workaround. But don't just leave us all in the dark. Perhaps we can escalate the issue?
I haven't been in the conversation because my issue is actually fixed. Though I don't think anyone here will like my solution. I had a Windows registry error that caused all my internet ports to close, and therefore I had no internet. This issue was totally, completely, 100% separate from the CC 2014 issue, so don't worry. Well in the process of fixing my internet issue, I had to wipe my C drive.
But don't worry, my C drive is a small SSD, so it doesn't contain any of my files (except my FONTS! ). So since all my "installed" programs were no longer in the fresh registry, I had to reinstall the entire CC suite. And, thankfully, it allowed me to install ONLY the 2014 versions of everything. So now I'm back up and running with the full suite, no issues.
BUT! While trying to fix my mouse to auto profile switch in programs like Photoshop I ran into an issue. I couldn't get the mouse to recognize when Photoshop was in focus, and therefore it wouldn't switch my button profiles automatically. This had me scratching my head for a few days because it worked in my other Adobe programs and in games. And during this process I discovered that Photoshop CC 2014 and Lightroom 5.5 are installed into a directory different than the one specified during installation. All my programs are stored on my main drive, E. Because my SSD is small, I keep as many programs off of C as possible. Now I do have a Photoshop CC 2014 installed on my E drive (E:\Adobe CC\Photoshop CC 2014\Photoshop.exe) but that wasn't the path the program was running from. I discovered its actual location is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014\Photoshop.exe. This was the reason for my mouse not working, so perhaps it has something to do with the installation issue? The uninstaller may be looking in a default directory, or it may be looking at the directory requested during install. It appears to me that the full program is present in both directories.
So, to those having an uninstall issue, is your Photoshop installed in the default directory that the installer came up with or did you give it a custom installation? And maybe Adobe can answer why I have a Photoshop installed on my C drive when I specifically asked it not to!
If Adobe won't help us, we'll help ourselves.

Cannot Install Windows 7 with AHCI mode

Hello,
Having just submitted a support ticket to MSI, I was curious to see if anyone else has experienced a similar issue or may be able to suggest a possible resolution.
I recently purchased a MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate for an htpc build.
I've ran into an issue of not being able to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit onto my ANY SATA 3 hard drive with SATA mode - AHCI enabled in bios.
Main parts for the build are:
Motherboard: MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate
CPU: Intel Core i3-4130 3.4 3 FCLGA 1150
RAM: G.SKILL Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
PSU: Corsair Builder Series CX 600
OS HD: Crucial M500 SSD
During Windows install and selecting the SSD in which to install windows onto..
Windows will prompt with: “Windows cannot be installed to Disk x Partition x. (Show details)
Afterwards, I’ll select ‘Load driver’ and select the “Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver for 8x series,” provided by MSI drivers download page. Confirmed as a valid driver for the SATA AHCI controller.
"Select the driver to be installed" lists: “Intel(r) 8 Series/C220 Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller” Looks good, then progress...
Followed by clicking on next- “Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the setup log files for more information.”
I've tried installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit via USB drive and OEM disc to no avail.
Performed a test using the same install procedure with my primary desktop computer which uses a MSI z68A-GD65 (G3) motherboard (AHCI enabled.) I was able to install windows to my Crucial M500 SSD without issue.
Confirmed the issue occurs while testing with different hard drives. I have yet to be able to install windows with AHCI enabled on this motherboard.
HDDs tested include:
WD Black WD5002AALX 500GB
Seagate ST3100524AS 1TB
Once I change SATA mode from AHCI to IDE, I was able to install windows without the need of pre-loading the Intel 8 Series SATA/AHCI driver.
Afterwards having installed windows, I decided to test by switching SATA mode back to AHCI. Doing so will cause the machine to bsod upon booting to windows. Later, I performed the registry edit to change IDE to AHCI mode within windows. Followed by again enabling AHCI in bios.
I was able to boot while in AHCI mode temporarily a couple of times until this method stopped working. Any attempt past the bios post, windows will not boot.
I've also tested the manual and XMP profile RAM settings as suggested by the sticky'd thread here https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=178019.0
I would like to possibly resolve the issue in regards to utilizing AHCI mode for optimal performance for my hard drives and hot swap capability.
When I have more time, I suppose I can run a RAM test; but so far I simply believe it may just be a SATA controller or driver conflict with the motherboard.
tl;dr Cannot install Windows 7 onto any hard drive with AHCI enabled. Works fine with IDE mode.

** Update as of 6/3/2014 ** Issue resolved.
Received my replacement motherboard from RMA. Replacement is working without any issues with SATA mode set to AHCI.
Tested by running Windows 7 and Windows 8 install - both detected my SATA SSD and other HDDs as applicable drives to install Windows onto. Pre-loading the SATA controller drivers was not necessary. Windows boots up immediately without any delay now. Benchmarks are showing valid stats for SATA3 devices.
Also to note, the replacement motherboard came with bios version 1.5, compared the one I sent back which came with 1.6. In case if that had anything to do with it. Not going to risk updating the bios at this point.
