Illustrator (and ALL CS4 applications) overtaking all windows.

Does anyone else have the problem where, say, you drag a multitude (for arguments sake, say, 10) files over the Ill CS4 dock icon to have Illustrator open them in the background while doing other work, but as Illustrator opens each file, it over takes all other windows and forces you BACK into Illustrator while it's opening each file? I've never had this issue previous with any other CS version on the Mac.

Hello Scott,
I think has to do with a bug of AI CS4 and memory:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b724db/4
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b79343/3
I think the behavior shows that is taking over of all your computer's memory and returns to the only program using all the memory.
Please let me know when CS4 gets and update. Thank you!

It's possible to transfer licenses but it must be done by contacting a Customer Service representative by phone or web chat. They'll probably have you submit a form.

6.0.1 update lost default window sizing and all windows open full screen now, why and how do I get my original window sizes back?

After updating Firefox to version 6.0.1, all browser windows open in full screen size. I need new browser windows to open in their original default size since I use a website for work that opens multiple browser windows.
I used to be able to fix this problem by renaming my localstore.rdf file in my profile and then restarting Firefox but this does not seem to work in this last update.
This appears to be a recurring problem for Firefox and it's extremely frustrating.

Safe mode disables the installed '''Extensions''', themes ('''Appearance''') and '''Plugins''' in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''. So it could be that an extension is causing it. You can try to isolate it starting with script blockers and similar extensions and '''Disable''' or '''Remove''' it.
Please also note that safe mode also disables hardware acceleration: '''Tools''' > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''General''': '''Use hardware acceleration when possible'''.

Illustrator and other CS4 Apps crashing in snow leopard

Hello,
Just upgraded from 10.5.8 to 10.6 and am having some very serious CS4 issues. I first noticed in flash when it constantly kept crashing on save. Now it seems that same issue is also on Illustrator durring open or save or export. I went over to photoshop and that's doing the same as well. The crash is similar on all programs in that it will thow a beach ball after you click save or open, then after a few seconds the entire program closes and two types of crash windows open. One that lets your submit a report and relaunch and the other seems liek the same thing with more options. I am using a Macbook pro dual core 2.2ghz with 4 gigs of ram. Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks!

This is what I think the problem is that many of the users upgraded and there is a difference between Leopard and Snow Leopard which changes the way the OS works and interacts with the applications, but it is not unstable once you get a fresh start.
But how do you get a fresh start if you really do not understand or have any knowledge of those components?
Probably with a lot of pain and frustration.
I experienced all of the issues that everyone else experienced the difference is I did not panic and I thought about what are the kinds of things that would be me a real fresh start.
Short of an archival reinstall!
This is what I did. Instead of trying one thing at a time I simply trash all those files I knew could cause the problem.
Settings Folder ( it is important to trash the folder as it can itself be corrupt not just the preferences inside) then all the Cache files in the two Application Support Folders for the Adobe products giving me problems, any folder in the applications support folders under Adobe related to that application, Font Cache and the com.adobe.(Application name).plist files in the user preferences.
Now also I will give you a possible universal cause for crashing and that is what caused Photoshop to crash every time I used it.
The OS installed a font that it requires to run and I had substituted a postscript version of it prior to installing the OS upgrade and it worked fine, the postscript version. But I now had a duplicate version loaded and I had a choice to disable it or deactivate the postscript version which was the simplest thing to do and so I did it and Photoshop works and I notice that Illustrator behaved better as well.
My printer drivers were not working so I downloaded the upgrade and it was still not working so I remove the driver from the printer list and then added it back so the OS would know it had been added. The printers work fine. Well I had to clean the nozzle so that the printer would do a good job.
So it would be wise perhaps to try and get everything that can contribute to these issue off the system until the oS and the application can re create them in a fresh way.

Quitting all windows

Hey,
Whats the easiest way to quit all docs, apps and all windows i have open?

I usually do the following:
Press and hold the Command key, then press Tab to view open applications.
Highlight an application by pressing the Right Arrow key (or by pressing Tab) to move to the right.
To hide a selected application, press H.
To quit a selected application, press Q.
To switch to a selected application, release the Command key or press Return.
To leave this view without switching applications, press Esc or the period (.) key.
Any documents opened with an application will also be closed/quit when quitting the application.
To close all windows in the active application - Option-click the close button.

How to make finder to open all windows in one?

Hi,
As you all know, in the Finder, if you open any folder, it opens that folder in a new finder window. I'm very tidy and have many files in many others in many others in many others,,, at the end of the day, I'm stuck with like 10 finder windows to close one by one. I wanted to know how I could set my finder to open everything in the same window, please advise.
Thank you so much in advance.

You can also use the Option key productively.
While in Finder...
If you hold the Option key down while clicking the Close button for a Finder window (such as a folder's window), all Finder windows will be closed. This works within most programs, too.
If you hold down the Option key while opening a folder that's nested inside another folder, the enclosing folder will be closed as the one clicked on is opened. This is a handy way to keep things neat as you step down into a hierarchical nest of folders.
If you are in Program A and hold down the Option key while clicking in a window for Program B, you will switch to Program B and all windows for Program A will be hidden. This works with Finder, too, whether Finder is Program A or Program B in that sequence.
If you hold down Option-Command while clicking in the window of another program, all windows for all other running programs will be closed. Exception - although this will also close Finder windows, it won't blank the Desktop.

CS4 Suite (all Windows versions) - documentation of XML and pre-configuration of components?

With a view to packaging and deploying CS4 in Microsoft enterprise environments (ie GPO restricted desktops, mandatory user profiles, non-administrative user base, at or near minimum spec hardware) I was wondering if anyone was aware of any documentation, official or otherwise, for pre-configuration or omission of individual components within the CS4 suite in order to more specifically tailor their operation to user requirements. Eg, such as the way Adobe provide a transform generator/editor for Acrobat in its standalone form.
The instructions for performing silent installs with or without the more major components (such as Dreamweaver, Photoshop etc) work fine, and the Adobe CS4 Deployment Toolkit (aka AdobeUberInstaller) deals with a number of omissions in the base installer such ELUA and updates suppression. However there are various options within the applications themselves I would like to change the defaults for at install time (eg suppress Adobe Bridge from prompting to run at startup, address Acrobat's refusal to run until another element of the suite has been run first etc), patches I would like to slipstream rather than apply retrospectively (currently Air, Indesign, Photoshop), and some elements (such as foreign language components and 64bit support) I would ideally like to omit from the source package altogether to keep the size down - 6GB+ to 500 clients is quite an ordeal!
Web resources such as application deployment forums have allowed me to address some of the above, but I would be very interested in the feedback/experiences of this community. I appreciate what I'm asking is somewhat vague but any crumbs of wisdom all add up...
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Bill

The best is to get the versions in which you have developed/tested. These can be found in MAX under Software, if it is possible provide a link to the NI ftp download URL.
Then export the settings in MAX (for tasks/scales) if you use them and provide a simple app that loads these items into MAX.
For RIO I'm not totally sure but I would create 'Getting started' that outlines what settings (IP/DNS etc.) to get the user started.

I have one paid mobileme account, few days ago I have done transition to iCloud and all my iDisk, contact... gone. Today I tried login to iCloud application on my windows pc but can not, it said "this apple id is valid but is not iCloud account"

I have one paid mobileme account, few days ago I have done transition to iCloud and all my iDisk, contact... gone. Today I tried login to iCloud application on my windows pc (64bit) but I can not, it said "this apple id is valid but is not iCloud account". I can login on website icloud.com but can not login into iCloud application installed on pc. What's wrong?
I have tried another free apple ID and logged on. That's funny when I can login with free account and can not login with paid mobileme account!!!!!!

By the way - the only reason I downloaded iCloud is because Apple deleted the backup option from iTunes. Since iCloud doesn't work, I guess we have no way to protect our iTunes music collection. Absolutely stupid.

CS5 and CS5.5 64-bit (Flash, Illustrator, Fireworks) ALL Crash Out of Nowhere on Windows 7 64-bit

ATTENTION ADOBE! Your CS5 and CS55 products crash continuously on Windows 7 64-Bit. And I don't mean just when I'm saving (which they do) or when I'm importing into Flash Pro (which it does); I'm saying it just completely dissappears just as if I hadn't even opened it. No error message whatsoever. Oh, and of course, ALL WORK GONE since my last save; And I don't think that I should have to save every 5 seconds!
IS THERE A FIX FOR THIS?
IF NOT...
PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE BECAUSE WE'VE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON YOUR PRODUCTS; AND NOW THEY'RE COSTING US EVEN MORE WITH POOR PRODUCTIVITY BECAUSE WE HAVE TO KEEP REDOING THINGS; NEVERMIND ALL OF THE FRUSTRATION IT IS CAUSING!!!
I thought that upgrading from CS5 to CS55 might help, but no, the problem is even worse.
FLASH, ILLUSTRATOR, and FIREWORKS ALL EXHIBIT THE SAME SYMPTOMS.

Sorry to bother you I just thought you might hit on something if other apps were not working.
Is everyone in your office having this issue with Flash, Fireworks or Illustrator crash? How many people?
Did you upgrade to 64-bit from 32-bit?
Are you using an approved OS for your hardware; i.e. Dell recommends using?
Have you scanned your memory to see if its bad?
Do you have your memory in the right slots in your motherboard?
What apps are you using when Flash, Fireworks or Illustrator crash? If you are running Photoshop, Premiere or After Affects you might have to adjust their memory useage.
When Flash, Fireworks or Illustrator crash is your system having issues?
Have you checked the event logs in Windows to see if there are any error or critical events logged at or around the time when Flash, Fireworks or Illustrator crash?
Note you can also open a support ticket with Adobe on the issue and work that pretty far without paying $25 (which is not that much); if your business is losing money as you stated originally.

If use a CC application (Windows 8.1), then popup from Adobe says"We have trouble verifying your membership-60 days remaining", But checked account and all OK

As noted in title I am getting an Adobe popup notification every time I attempt to use one of my Creative Cloud applications(Windows 8.1). The pop up states "We are having trouble verifying your membership" and then 60 days remaining. One is then given the choice with buttons of retrying to verify membership or continuing. After choosing continue then I am able to use the application without further problems. The re-try button does not work and/or is unsuccessful. These problems began shortly after renewal of my CC membership.
So I have checked my Adobe account repeatedly and there does not seem to be a problem. As noted I had renewed CC membership recently and customer service told me that everything was ok. The desktop CC application works fine and shows all of my applications for the Windows 8.1 computer. I have already removed and reinstalled CC desktop application and have the latest version, but without any success at getting rid of the popup notification. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Clyde Wilkes

I only need Illustrator and photoshop rather than all of the applications?

Hi,
I'm looking in to using Creative Cloud but i already have InDesign CS6 so i would only need Illustrator and photoshop.
Can you just get the two application or do you have to get the full Creatyive Suite?
And what are the cost for this?
Thanks,
David Stubbs

Hi there,
You can indeed purchase a Single App membership, see this link. Pricing is listed on the Creative Cloud Plans page. But honestly, once you are paying for two single app memberships you are close enough to the price of a full Creative Cloud membership that you'll probably want to go that route (and get access to additional apps, services, and more).

Consolidate All Windows option not functional in Illustrator CC 2014

I just downloaded the Illustrator CC 2014 update, and I cannot for the life of me consolidate all my open documents to one window. In other words I want to dock all open documents to the top in tabs. In the regular CC version, if you have multiple documents in tabs in a floating window, you can go to Window > Arrange > Consolidate All windows, and it will dock all of those docs at the top in tabs. However in CC 2014 that option is greyed out and I can't select it. Anyone else experiencing this bug? Am I doing something wrong? (The first image is CC 2014, and the second is from regular CC, what I want it to look like.)

SUCCESS!! I figured out that you need the Application Frame option checked in order to achieve the layout I like. Silly me.
