Fixing bugs in earlier versions

Hi
Could someone clarify what Adobe's policy is regarding fixing bugs in earlier versions than the current, in particular
Adobe have agreed there is a problem importing footage from Atomos Ninja regarding the audio channels, but they say it is fixed in CS5.5,
no mention of CS5
I have CS5, and wondered if Adobe stop fixing bugs in earlier versions once a new version is announced.
Yes i know I can upgrade, but at this stage I dont want to do that, i just want a bug fixed in software I have purchased
Regards
Chris Anderson

Chris,
I understand the problem you have, but please try to understand Adobe's position as well. They have limited resources and they have to fix bugs in the current version, test extensively whether they did not break anything in the process of fixing the bug, while at the same time they are busy developing a next version with new features, that users have requested, testing that extensively. At the same time there is a further complication in that all the programs in say the Master Collection must be ready at the same time for market introduction.
With all these complications and the limited resources, priorities have to be set. How critical is a bug, is there a workaround, how many are affected? Of course the currently sold version has a higher priority than a version no longer sold. It might even be an enticement for many to upgrade to the current version.

Version 3.6.14 has a bug & does not support Java to play Pogo games - How do I install a earlier version?

Pogo games plays on Java - the last version of Firefox 3.16.14 has a bug that does not support Java - I have been instructed by Pogo to install an earlier version of Firefox. How do I do that?

Firefox 3.6.15 was just released to fix that Bug.
You can use Help > '''Check for Updates''' to trigger an update to Firefox 3.6.15.

How to fix extremely slow printing from web pages with latest updates (iMac) & HP Office jet printer. (It was not a problem with earlier versions of Firefox & same computer & printer.)

The latest two updates of Mozilla Firefox are not useful for me because of extremely slow printing of web pages. It was never a problem before. Same iMac and HP officejet printer. How can I either fix it, or revert to an earlier version of the browser (without losing all my bookmarks) which didn't cause this problem?

Try scanning from your Mac. Use Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
Click once on the scanner on the left side, then click on Show Details along the bottom. Along the right side you will see LOTS of options for scanning and saving.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

It's the first time I use a custom-repo and I set it up only for this purpose. So yes, it's up to date and can be used outside the chroot. Also a different package I put from AUR into my custom-repo installs fine and doesn't give this error.
How else could I test the custom-repo?

Fix bug related to validation of plugin versions. The fix is to load a dynamic plugin SWF twice. The first time it's loaded into a separate ApplicationDomain, so that the class types are not merged (and Version.version will not have identical values for player and plugin). If the version types are consistent, then the plugin is loaded a second time, this time into the same SecurityDomain (so that class types are merged). The second load should pull the SWF from the cache, minimizing the overhead. The downside is that the SWF will be initialized twice.

Hi sebasvideo, Did you ever find a solution to this? I've been having the same problem for a few months now and it's maddening. Seems to be specific to the GPU like you say above. I noticed it most when using Element 3D. I thought maybe there was some sort of read/write interference as I have 2 SSDs and one HD with assets spread across all of them. But even when I consolidated all of my data to one drive the flickering kept happening. Not sure if it's an After Effects problem specifically... or windows 8.1? Or nVidia? Super frustrating thoguh.

TS4123 Ok and then what do I do? Why not provide a program that will fix this problem or allow me to go to an earlier version of the program that doesn't have this problem?

Need a fix for iTunes 10, which will not connect to the store. Or offer the choice of an earlier version what did not have this problem.

How do I fix a word doc. that turned to asterisks? Or find an earlier version of the document?

I was typing a paper and the entire doc. turned to asterisks. Then I panicked and hit save thinking that would be beneficial. Now I only have a doc. with symbols. Is there a way to find an earlier version of the paper? I have saved it at least a dozen times before the doc. turned to ***

Have you considered this ... since you suspect there may be old garbage in the file?
Try creating a brand new document in Word. Then try copying and pasting the old document into the new one. You may choose to do this in sections, or a few pages at a time.

Firefox 4 refuses to load pages on my mac os 10.5.8 and brand new laptop as well- i gave to force quit over and over- can i revert to an earlier version? will the problem be fixed soon? - previous versions worked fine

HI,
Empty the Safari Cache from the Safari Menu Bar more often.
Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.

Since installing Firefox 8 beta, can't move tabs around within the tab bar; can this be fixed without reverting to earlier version? Thank you.

Before moving to Firefox 8, I could drag and drop tabs within the tab bar to reorder them, which was very convenient. Since installing the first beta of Firefox 8, the tabs don't move. Should I revert to an earlier version of Firefox? If so, which one? Thank you for any help with may favorite browser. Tom

Tor Button addon was the cause in my case.

I cannot open a document from an earlier version of pages.

Hope someone has a helpful solution for me. I am trying to access my resume that I did in an earlier version of Pages. I tried to open it today and saw an error saying that the document could not be opened. I have tried researching this and basically have no solution. I need my resume and don't know what to do. Has anyone else figured out a solution other than blowing up their computer?

Copy/paste from TextEdit works. The use of Pages v5 has created more problems than user solutions. Make certain you export to Word format as a backup. Pages v5.5.1 will make a huge 500Kb Word document. You will need to open and save it out from either MS Word, or the free LibreOffice to reduce it down to small double-digits in size.
Sharon, there is a Yosemite community under the general category of MacOS & System Software. Post your Yosemite questions there, and you should get competent answers to your questions. Responders to your question(s) will want to know the year and make of your Mac, how much memory is installed, and if you upgraded to Yosemite from Mavericks, or an older OS X installation. The Apple > About this Mac can provide useful info. Be as concise as you can while still conveying the issue you want resolved. If you are running anti-virus software, state that as it is a known performance and stability decrement for OS X.
Yosemite is now one revision beyond the base release. Each new iteration of updates to Yosemite will fix bugs, attend to some usability issues, and improve performance. I am running Yosemite on a 2014 MacBook Air with 4GB of memory. It has been flawless — if not overly art-deco for my taste.

I downloaded the newest version of firefox today 8/16/11 and now I cannot use Evernote (nor does clipmarks work from before) this is unacceptable. How do I return to the earlier version of firefox? Thank You, Carol Roberts

I downloaded the newest version of firefox today 8/16/11 and now I cannot use Evernote (nor does clipmarks work from before) this is unacceptable. How do I return to the earlier version of firefox? If there is no way to do this, then I will have to use internet explorer so I hope you can help me with this. Thank You, Carol Roberts

Until Evernote updates their add-on to mark it compatible with Firefox 6, you can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Add-on Compatibility Reporter] to try re-enabling it yourself.
You can also downgrade to a previous version of Firefox from [https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/ this archive], but please be warned that some old versions of Firefox have known security bugs that are fixed in later versions.

How To Uninstall Earlier Versions of Flash Player???

Can anyone help?!
I recently installed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player
V. 10, and the instructions said it would be best to uninstall any
earlier versions of the Player. I have 3 installations of Adobe
Flash Player V. 9, and 1 installation of Macromedia Flash 5.0 on
this computer, and haven't the foggiest notion of how to uninstall
them! They are all located in the Windows i.386 folder which I've
been told is dangerous to play around with. The new installation of
V. 10 went directly to C:\Windows\System32\Macromedia\Flash, which
is right where it should be.
Anyone have a clue as to how to uninstall these earlier
versions and if it's necessary to do so at all?
Also, when running Flash Player V. 10, I've been getting an
error message when on IE 6.0 that says, "it's encountered a problem
with an Add-On' and need to close - The following add-on was
running when this problem occurred: File: Flash10a.ocx - Adobe
Flash Player, Adobe Systems". Does anyone know what could be the
problem with this "add-on", and how to fix it?
Many thanx,
Lida :-)

I have a similar problem with version 9c. It has left an
entry in my registry pointing to a file that was appearantly
uninstalled during an upgrade. The result is an incomplete
uninstall. I think that earlier versions of the program had bugs in
the uninstall or upgrade work that left these nasty messes in our
computers. There is an uninstall program available on the website
for version 9(x) that may work for you. Here is how to get to it:
Go to this page:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/
Under "Windows 2000/XP/Vista" there is an "Uninstaller"
Click on it and either save it to a download directory and
run the uninstaller from there or,
click the "run" button and run it from the web site (like I
did). In either case this will uninstall the version on your
computer now. In my case it did not clean up the registry issue
though. It did permit me to do a clean installation of the current
version. I hope this helps!!

Performance regression in VS2013 compared to earlier versions due to dtoui3 casting

Copied from submitted bug report ID 1175765
Description
Hello,
We have a performance bug with VS2013 that is not seen in earlier versions. The performance issue is due to casting problems similar
to reported problem, https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/808199. This problem was reported fix in
VS2013 SP2 but I can still reproduce problems with SP5 (12.0.40121). The difference is that I use IBM Rational Quantify to show the
performance callstack. You will see that the function, dtoui3, is calling dtol3_Nan for all 10 calls. This gives a significant slowdown in real
applications that cast millions of times. Please see below how to reproduce the problem.
Code example:
#include <limits>
#include <cstdio>
double foo() {
return 1.0;
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
unsigned d = static_cast<unsigned>(std::numeric_limits<double>::max() / 2.0);
printf("%f\n", foo());
return 0;
Build with VS2013 SP5. Test with IBM Rational Quantify. F_D time callstack shows dtoui3 calls dtol3_Nan 10 times.
Please note this problem is only 32bit. There is no problem for 64bit.
Please let me know if you need any more information.
Regards,
Dr. Ian Morgan.

Reverting to earlier version of code base in CVS

We are currently using CVS as our version control with WSAD 5.0. Since putting in a release a couple of weeks ago, have had two occasions on which we needed to put in bug fixes. We were able to back track to the tagged version of the code, branch, apply the fixes and build the .jar files, but we have not been able to merge that code back into the Head.
What are the proper steps for going back to an earlier version of your code in the repository, applying a code change for a bug, and then merging it back into the Head of the branch?

Do you have any sticky tag? If you check out a branch, and then use the update command, it will be done into your branch.
To update (and then commit) to the Head, you have to remove the sticky tags with a cvs update -A [...].

Why won't iTunes 11 play movies earlier version did??

Sometime in the last 12 months or so an iTunes update broke playback of alot of my m4v/mpeg4 movies.
Earlier versions of iTunes played them fine played. (iTunes 11.3.1.2 does not)
QuickTime Player v7.7.5 plays the movies fine.
VLC v2.1.5 plays the movies fine.
Just iTunes will not play the movie, any longer, on my Windows 7 PC.
This also presents a problem for playing the movies via Apple TV - these movies used to be watchable on my lounge TV... no longer; I suspect iTunes isn't opening the movie to pass it to the appleTV (because I first became aware of this issue when I couldn't have a movie night on appleTV shortly after an iTunes update).
This seems to be a fault in iTunes initial opening of movie files - as I say QuickTime Player happily/easily plays the movies when they are manually opened with it.
Please fix, so the Apple ecosystem I've sold the family on is functional!!!!

Oh, and I've reviewed these two articles and they're not applicable...
Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
Whilst it's possible there's some obscure setting somewhere, I _really_ doubt it.
My Apple history dates back to a, then current, Mac+ and I currently do embedded [Android] fw development... so this is more of a bug report than flailing user.
