IMac will not run Pro Tools 9 - Some will not run CS5.5 Production Premium and some will?

So i have 6 imacs in my computer lab at this time - I recently created a new image for all of our lab computers using snow leopard OS, Pro Tools 9.0, and Adobe CS5.5 Production Premium - this image works fine on our MacPro's and Pro Tools has no problems opening or CS5.5, but when I imaged the same image onto the imacs - CS5.5 only works on two of the machines and Pro Tools 9.0 will not open on any imac ( i keep getting the message "Can not find playback device: I thought you didnt need one for Pro Tools 9?) and i cant figure out why. The imacs that have problems with CS5.5 and Pro Tools are the 20" early 2006 versions, and the imacs that run CS5.5 but not Pro Tools are 20" late 2006 versions. Are they just too old? Why would it let me image on the late 2006 version of imac but not the early 2006? Do i need to create an image on the imac itself and then farm it out to the others?
Thanks for your comments,
Kyle

I know this is a very late answer for you, but it may help others out.
Try holding down the "N" key on your keyboard while loading the Pro Tools application.
This will eventually open up a dialog box with a drop down menu for selecting your interface.
In the case where you're not using an interface (like the lab), within this dialog box, just select Built-in Output and plug in your headphones in the back of the iMac.
I'm running several rooms with iMacs and PTLE 9.0.6 on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and this is the only hiccup I've run into. Hopefully, holding down the "N" key works for you.

I can not install CS5.5 Production Premium

Error

I checked the PC with all of the diagnostic in WIN7/64, with Malwarebit and Virus Software.
We tried with a new account, we download the software from the Adobe Server, we did all the possibilitys.
I work now since 32 hours with your "Experts" without a success. I installed 100 after 100 of Software in my life,
I had never such a disaster.

I'm a Pro Tools user, who just did an "Archive and Install" installation of 10.5.8 over my 10.4.11 on my 2 Ghz G5, now Pro Tools won't launch. I checked the extensions folder and sure enough, the digidesign extensions were left behind. Can I revert back

I'm a Pro Tools user, who just did an "Archive and Install" installation of 10.5.8 over my 10.4.11 on my 2 Ghz G5, now Pro Tools won't launch. I checked the extensions folder and sure enough, the digidesign extensions were left behind. Can I revert back to the "Archive" of my 10.4.11 System from the "Previous Systems" folder? If not, what's the point of creating the "archive"?

Did you select "Preserve User Settings"?
Archive and Install installation automatically moves existing system files to a folder named Previous System, then installs Mac OS X again. (See tip 3.) You cannot start up your computer using a Previous System folder, nor can you "re-bless" the Previous System folder. (See tip 1.)
You can choose to preserve your user and network settings before installing. This option automatically moves existing users, Home directories, and network settings. This also skips the Setup Assistant after installation.
Note: Because the "Preserve user and network settings" option moves, not copies, existing users, Home directories, and network settings, from the Previous Systems folder to the newly installed System, these items will not exist in the Previous Systems folder after the Archive and Install is complete.

This is not a message that Adobe is providing, and I recommend that you not click on the link. It sounds as though you might have malware on your computer.

Just loaded CS5.5 Production Premium for Mac and cannot get Premier Pro to open-error messages

Just loaded CS5.5 Production premium onto my iMac and I am getting an error message when I try to open Premier Pro i.e., [/Volumes/BuildDisk/builds/Mulder64/shared/adobe/MediaCore/ASL/Foundation/Make/Mac/../../S rc/DirectoryRegistry.cpp-283]. I am finding similar issues with Encore. Haven't been able to get through to Adobe help as yet, anyone have an idea?

Which language is your default system language set to? This is critical as you may have installed support for langauges that your version of CS cannot handle. The common fix is to choose File --> Info or File --> Explore Package and remove e.g. Asian languages...

Installing CS6 Production Premium and Retaining Some Programs from CS5

I currently have the CS5 Design Premium suite installed on my computer. I want to purchase CS6 Production Premium and want to know if CS6 automatically uninstalls CS5? I want to keep Dreamweaver and InDesign from the CS5 suite. Is this possible or is CS5 uninstalled without any control over retaining programs within the suite. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. I want to install all of CS6 Production Premium. I just want to make sure that I can keep Dreamweaver and InDesign from my CS5 Design Premium suite (they are not part of CS6 Production Premium). Do I have the option to keep software from CS5?
Thanks

Can an old iMac G3 drive running system 10.2.8 and system 9 be mounted in the secondary drive bay of a G4 800 Mhz running 10.4.11 and boot from the 10.2.8?

I've done this and the G4 800 Mhz boots up from system 9 on the old iMac G3 just fine, but when I boot up from its system 10.2.8, it runs for only 5 minutes or so and the grey screen comes down telling me to re-boot. I've run Norton on the system 9 disk and system 10 disk utilities on the system 10 disk of the old iMac G3 and all is fine with it. Is there some incompatibilities with running the old iMac G3 230 Mhz from the G4 800 Mhz that causes this to happen? I can access all my old files on the iMac G3 when I boot up with extensions off (holding down the shift key when I boot up), but I would like to be able to use the USB functions when I boot it up.

It sounds like you have a Power Mac G4 Quicksilver 2002, and according to the program Mactracker, it should be able to run on the OS 9 and the OS 10.2.8.
I don't know which version of Norton (Utilities?) you ran on the old iMac drive, but I suspect that might be the problem. This is from the iMac Tray Loading Service Source Manual:
HFS Plus Formatted Drives
The hard drive in the iMac is formatted with HFS Plus (also referred to as Mac OS Extended format). It is important to note that Norton Utilities version 3.5 is not compatible with HFS Plus (or Mac OS Extended format), and in fact, can destroy data on the hard drive.
Norton Utilities version 3.5.3 or 3.5.2 will not attempt to repair a drive formatted with Mac OS Extended format and versions 3.5.1 and earlier cannot recognize that a hard drive is in Mac OS Extended format and can result in hard drive corruption and loss of all data on the drive.
Note: When diagnosing hard drive problems, it is important to verify whether or not the customer may have used the wrong disk repair software for their drive before assuming that the problem is hardware related.
If you experience problems with a hard drive that has been formatted with HFS+, Apple Computer recommends using Disk First Aid 8.2 (which is included on the system software CD that ships with the iMac). Disk First Aid 8.2 can be used to recover data that may have been deleted by Norton Utilities. (See the Symantec Web site at NO LONGER A VALID LINK-REMOVED FROM ARTICLE for more information on Norton Utilities and Mac OS Extended format.)
Some other disk utility and disk locking programs are incompatible with Mac OS Extended format. Before you attempt to use a disk utility or disk locking program, make sure the version you have is compatible with Mac OS Extended format. Check the documentation that came with the program or contact the manufacturer or the vendor that supplied the program.
Use the Get Info command in System 8.1 to determine how a hard drive has been formatted. Drives formatted with HFS will appear as “Mac OS Standard”, while drives formatted with HFS+ will appear as “Mac OS Extended.”
I hope some of this helps.
Good luck.

I ordered the CS5.5 Design Premium, and InDesign will not install because, although my computer is 64 bit capable, it is currently set at 32 bit. Is there a way I can create a custom installation that will allow me to install products that require a 64 bi

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I am financially impaired (nice way of saying "poor"), and cannot afford to purchase any more upgrades for my system or another version of InDesign.
I am sure there must be settings that will allow me to install the program, possibly with limited functionality due to this issue. I am disabled and cannot work outside of my home. I was hoping to make a small income freelancing with this package, and InDesign is a crucial part of the package.
Thank you very much for any assistance.

So I would have to uninstall Windows 7 Home Premium and reinstall it as 64-bit? I'm trying to do this without having to reformat my computer. Is there a way I could create a 64-bit partition on my secondary hard drive without reinstalling the OS?

A laptop that is able to run Adobe CS4 Production Premium.

I just want to know which laptops could handle Adobe CS4 Production Premium (PhotoShop, Illustrator,Soundbooth,Premiere Pro,After Effects and more)

NV2,
Not too many laptops are made to do what you require, and even the higher powered ones could, at times, experience some lag or slowness. That being said, there are a few that do a pretty good job with graphics and processing. For the PC platform you will want to look at the Asus G71GX-RBBD09 which is an online only laptop (Otherwise the other G71GX could be serviceable). The other road to take is with Mac in which case the upper end Macbook Pros would do great with that software. The MB985LL of MC226LL would work out great.

Bugs with Custom Status not getting displayed on Product Backlog and Sprint Backlog

We added a couple of new states to the Work Item Type of Bug. We want all the bugs to show up in the Sprint Backlog items.
In order to do this we added the custom states in Common Process Configuration file using witadmin and also in the Workflow tab of "Bug" using TFS Power Tools.
The excerpts from the Common Configuration file for this is:
<BugWorkItems singularName="Bug" pluralName="Bugs" category="Microsoft.BugCategory">
<States>
<State value="New" type="Proposed"/>
<State value="Open" type="Proposed"/>
<State value="Deferred" type="Proposed"/>
<State value="Approved" type="Proposed"/>
<State value="Committed" type="InProgress"/>
<State value="Ready
For QA" type="InProgress"/>
<State value="Devlopment
in Progress" type="InProgress"/>
<State value="Done" type="Complete"/>
<State value="Closed" type="Complete"/>
<State value="Reopen" type="Complete"/>
<State value="Fixed" type="Complete"/>
</States>
</BugWorkItems>
I assumed that this should have been sufficient to display all the Bug Work Items with these custom states.
So, I created a new bug that had the state of "New" in the system. It was visible in the Product Backlog.
When I changed the same work item's state from New to
Open and save, the bug is removed from the backlog with this message.
[Title] was removed because of your recent changes.
The following changes removed the item:
State was set to: Open
Even after refreshing the page, the same work item does not appear in the product backlog page or the Sprint Backlog page.
Any idea why this could happen?
TSF Version : TFS 2013
The Error I am getting on the Settings Page is :
Page -> Control Panel > CollectionName > FabrikamFiber > FabrikamFiber Team
Overview Tab > Settings Page
Under BUGS sections:
TF400917: The Current Configuration is not valid for this feature. This Feature cannot be used until you correct the configuration.

Hi Augustya,
I'd like to know the version of TFS you're using, and how did you customize the Common Process Configuration file for display the bugs on backlog page.
You can add bugs or other work item types to appear in either the task board or the product backlog, but not both. I have a try and it wroks for me, you can follow the links below to add bugs to the backlog pages and check if it works.

Need to download CS5.5 Production Premium (STE) [was: Tired of the download run-around]

I'm operating on a Windows Vista system and I'm trying to access a download link to Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium (Student Teacher Edidtion). I had the suite previously downloaded onto the computer but we've had the hardrive crash and wipe clean since then.
I'm aware that there's another website with "flawless" directions as to how to download older versions of programs, but those did not work no matter what way I tried them. Could someone please send me a link to a downloadable version of the software that I rightfully paid for? Thanks.

I'm aware that there's another website with "flawless" directions as to how to download older versions of programs, but those did not work no matter what way I tried them.
If you're referring to the prodesigntools.com website, it's the only URL I know of via which you can download older versions of Adobe software.
http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs5-5-direct-download-links.html
The Very Important Instructions on that page are simple enough to follow provided you follow them before you click the download links.
After that the download links will work.

Not playing songs in order (premium and not on shuffle)

Hye guys, long time lurker first time questioner.I have spotify on my iPhone 6 64 gig running iOS 8.4 and spotify version 3.6.0.923. In the last few days I've noticed that spotify doesn't always play albums that are in 'Your music' inthe correct order. I am a premium member and shuffle is turned off on the device so it would usually just play from the song I've selected until the ned of the album. The application is not doing this currently. It may play several songs in the correct orderbut after a few songs it'll just start playing in the wrong order. Is anyone else seeing this issue?

Hello there!
What you are experiencing might be a bug.
Have you tried closing the app and its process and then reopening it?
Does restarting your phone help?
If nothing works, maybe a clean reinstallation will do it:
On the home screen, tap and hold the Spotify icon until it shakes.
Tap the X symbol on the icon.
Hold the Home and Power buttons down together until the Apple logo appears.
Open the App Store then search for and install the Spotify app.
Keep in mind that a clean reinstall will delete all data stored by Spotify, so you'll need to sync your offline music again.
If nothing fixes the issue, then maybe the next Spotify update fixes it.
Hope this helps! ♫

Is CS5.5 Production Premium compatible with 8.1 on Surface Pro 3?

I have been trying to install my CS5.5 onto my new Surface Pro 3 but it has been giving me trouble. I've tried using an external DVD reader, and I've gotten the digital download link from Adobe's support team but the installation stops at about 15% and gives me an installation error. Is it compatible? I figured it would be. PLEASE HELP!

Foltzb1 if the installer is failing to initialize then the resulting error should be contained within your PDApp.log file. You can find details on how to locate and interpret this file at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html. You are welcome to post any specific errors which you discover to this discussion. Please do not post the entire log file however as only the portion which contains errors is relevant.

Please help, I am running Windows 7 Home Premium and have problems with loading FLASH Player

Everytime I attempt to load Adobe Flash Player, it says it is installing but then I get a screen that say, must close Internet Explorer, which I do, then the down load continues. It eventually takes me to a window that is for Adobe Photoshop Elements 11, it loads a trial version and then eventually it says Flash Player successfully Installed.
When I go to open a web video, it says, you must have Flash Player installed to view this video. Which when i click on the Adobe download link, it takes me back through the same loop with the same results. Seaching in my programs it does not show Adobe Flash Player loaded, only the 32 bit version, which I am still unable to view web videos with>>>>
What is going on here? Do I need to download something additional to correctly install Adobe Flash Player? Please Help, Thanks in advance for your response and recommendations!
Dan
