IMac and Creative Suite 5

I just received my copy of the Creative Suite Design Premium CS5 edition, and am preparing to buy a new Intel-based Mac. I wanted to get someone's advice on the purchase of an iMac, and it's ability to run the CS5 products.
Will the dual-core iMac with an i5 processor be sufficient, or do I have to go for the i7 quad-core system for optimum performance?
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
Daniel

What had me very concerned is system requirements on the box state that a "multicore" processor is required. The smaller iMac (best suited to my budget) comes with an optional dual-core i5 processor, and the larger iMac can be equipped with quad-core i7 processors. I wasn't sure if "dual-core" qualified as "multicore" in Adobe's specification.
Thanks.

  • Strobe and Creative Suite? and HTML5 Video?

    The most recent Strobe release (StrobeMediaPlayback_1.5.Sprint4-full.zip), included an html5demo.html
    The Dreamweaver team just announced a Kaltura.com-based HTML5 Video Player widget.
    Is the Strobe html5demo.html any indication of HTML5 Video support by Strobe?
    Also, regarding the core SWF-based Strobe, are there any plans to provide any direct SMP integration with Creative Suite applications?
    Thanks again for your great work.
    Warmest regards,

  • MAC installing Acrobat Pro X and Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium pop up ?

    Hello,
    I have an Acrobat Pro X PKG (for MAC) from the Univeristy that should have a serial number inside the PKG. The installation works well.
    On the Acrobat Pro lauch I saw the main windows, for 2-3 secondes and then it goes a way.  A Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium pops up  asking me a serial number???
    Thanks for your help

    Thanks for your response, Mylenium.  I finally had time to try this on the weekend, and that cleaned up nearly all the warning messages, but unfortunately it didn't work for Acrobat Pro X.  I also deleted my old CS4 and ran the Cleaner Tool again, just in case that was causing problems. 
    I found this - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-1310-error-writing-file.html - and I patiently tried every solution mentioned, but after hours of mucking about with this and trying to install this many times I simply don't know what to do next.   
    The problem appears to be the Conflig.msi folder and I have checked that I have access to this folder right up until I run the CS6 install.  After I get a message saying that I haven't been able to install because it is unable to write to C:Config.msi I go back to that folder and find that my permissions have changed.  It seems to be the install process that changes this - is that possible?
    I'm hoping someone from Adobe Support will read this and respond. It is very hard for me to access live chat as the hours only suit people in the US and I'm in Australia.

  • Photoshop CS 6 and Creative Suite 5

    I currnetly have Creative Suite CS5 on my laptop.  I found out Camera Raw does not support my new camera.  I have a copy of Photoshop CS6. Can I install CS6 and just update the Photoshop, or even make a stand alone version of Photoshop separate from Creative Suite?
    Thanks
    Ellen

    yes, you can install ps cs6 along with your other cs5 programs (including ps cs5).  they are all compatible.

  • Mobile apps and Creative Suite subscription

    Hi,
    If I am a Creative Suite subscriber do I have "free" access to the touch apps (Photoshop Touch, etc.)? I've been crusing around Adobe's site and can't seem to find a definitive answer (or find a way to download PS Touch without paying for it.
    Thanks!
    RJ

    Hi Guido,
    Thank you for the link. I had not seen this, but I'm still not sure what I am supposed to do.
    Does this mean that if I go to the Apple App store and purchase three Touch apps that Adobe will not charge me for the following month's Creative Suite's subscription cost? I don't see how that would work - is there some tie between the App Store purchase(s) and my Adobe ID?
    Thanks!

  • Edge and Creative Suite

    I can't install Edge through Creative Cloud.  I get following errors in the attached 2 screen shots.  I have searched for and uninstalled and deleted every morsal of previous Edge installs.  Please help.....

    Download and run Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool. The tool can clean up install records for any pre-release (beta) installations of these Creative Suite products.
    Choose Adobe Edge from CS6.

  • MacBook Pro Maverick and creative suite CS5

    I bougth a new MacBook Pro with Maverick, but my creative suite CS5 does not work on it. What to do?

    If you migrated the Creative Suite from one Mac to another it will not work. There are too many files that are not properly located.
    You'll have to use the Adobe Cleaner tool found here to remove all traces of the Creative Suite:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC ... - Adobe
    Then reinstall CS5 from our original media or backup files.

  • Managing cloud subscription and Creative Suite CS6 in one computer

    I have a Cloud subscription at work (PC) that I would like to use at home (Mac) when I need to work from home. I also have a Creative Suite CS6 in (same Mac) for personal use. I want to be able to zinc files from work without disturbing my personal suite. Is that possible?

    Hi WAandDFS,
    Since the Creative Cloud membership was renewed so you need to log out of the Adobe application manager( CC app) & log back in, then launch the product,
    I understand that the old subscription had Adobe application manager installed where the new Creative Cloud subscription has CC App Icon.
    You can use the cleaner tool to remove the Adobe Application manager(http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html)  & download the recent CC App
    (https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud)
    Note: If you are getting any prompt while launching the product, please click on " license this software" & sign in, it wil activate the present version.

  • Have creative cloud installed and Creative Suite 6 need both installed on this machine anytime I open acrobat it prompts for the serial number at least twice a day

    When I open Acrobat it prompts to enter serial number was twice a week now is twice a day. Do not know how to get this to go away. Worked with Creative Cloud support they said it was a CS6 issue but CS6 does not have support. That I can find

    Hi Michael ,
    With CS6 we used to ship Acrobat 10 and with Creative Cloud it's Acrobat 11.
    Have you installed both on the system?
    Which version of Acrobat and OS are you using?
