Is a Hardware update for CS6 useful?

Hi,
I still have CS4 and think about to purchase for CS6 shortly.
But I´m not sure if some hardware change could also be usefull?
I have:
Intel Core i7-920
MSI Eclipse SLI Mainboard
12 GB Ram
Nvidia GTX 460 Grafic card 1GB
1 SSD (256GB) System
2 1TB HDD (mirror)
2 1TB HDD (striping)
Do you think I need some upgrade or better asked is any update usefull?

If you want top know what different hardware can do, after downloading and installing CS6, go to http://www.ppbm5.com, follow the instructions and post your results. Then, narrow down the search of the results to just CS6 users.
You will then know how your results compare to other people's results, and you will see which hardware performs the best. If you find that you can do something in 700 seconds that other people can do in 154 seconds, then you can make your decision. If you decide you can only afford to go from 700 to 500, then you have to decide if it is worth the cost. If you can afford to go from 700 seconds to 154 seconds, then by all means, upgrade.
If you do want to upgrade, I can highly recommend reading through the hardware forum here, and look for posts by ECBowen. Eric was extremely helpful guiding my decisions. In fact, I ended up buying my system from him (ADK). Trust is earned, and Eric has done the work to earn his. I am quite happy with my PC's performance.

if that fails, uninstall ps, clean (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6) and reinstall. then use the manual updates.

Updates for CS6 version 8 (NOT extended)?

I can't find updates for CS6 version 8 (NOT extended). There are issues:
Application Manager needed to be upgraded, done.
When I open the prog and go to Help>Updates it opens my browser to Adobe, not to updates.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the prog.
Same issue persists, mainly when using poly lasso tool. The prog won't let me make a full selection, it jumps and makes it's own selection.
What a plethora of problems!!
Pls be patient with me as I have a broken brain now, and can't follow complicated instructions like I used to. The simpler, the better! Thanks.

CS6 version 8 of WHAT?
Tell me what application you're talking about and I'm move you post there.

Updates for CS6 (Illustrator)

Hardware Build for CS6 Production Premium

First: Thank you for all of the information in this forum. I've done a bunch of reading and there is lots of good information about a many issues.
Second: I am looking for advice on a build for CS6 Production Premium. I don't want top of the line, but a decent midgrade setup. I've done a bunch of reading and I think that I have a reasonable system, but would appreciate some advice. The last time I built a computer was the 1990s when we still had to set DMA and IRQ channels, so I'm a bit rusty.
Case: Cooler Master Cosmos II Ultra Tower RC-1200-KKN1
Motherboard: Asus Z9PE-D8 WS Dual LGA 2011 Intel C602
Two - Intel Xeon E5-2630 V2 Ivy Bridge 2.6GHz six core processors.
Two - Intel STS200C CPU heat sinks.
240 Pin 1600 MHz DDR 3 RAM. 16 GB adequate or 32 GB for a good balance on this system? (Don't really want to goto 64GB, but will if necessary.) Is it better to fill all 8 slots on the mother board or better to have more GB per card and run with 4 empty slots on the mother board?
Crucial M4 256GB SSD SATA boot disk CT256M4SSD2.
Six: 2 TB 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/S Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 hard drives in a RAID 3 configuration with five drives in service and one in standby. (The SSD plugged into the 6GB/s SATA plug and the six 2TB plugged into the C602 SATA 3GB/S plugs? Nothing plugged into the Marvell SATA plugs?
The mother board doesn't support RAID 3 and I have no RAID experience, so I'm guessing that I need a dedicated RAID controller for this? If so, is an Areca ARC-1224-8I a good fit, or is there a better choice?
Pioneer BDR-2208 blu-ray burner.
Rosewill 1300 watt 80 plus gold power supply.
Soundblaster ZxR PCIe sound card.
Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1
Two - Dell UltraSharp U2413 24" LED LCD monitors.
Now the $3 question: Video card(s). Is a single GeForce GTX690 adequate to run the various applications in Production Premium? A GTX Titan? Quadro K4000? I don't really want to go to the Quadro K5000, but will if forced.
The only software on the computer will be Windows 7, Adobe CS6, and either McAfee or Norton, along with whatever drivers are needed for the systems. I'll stay away from quicktime as it seems to gum up the works according to some advisers on this forum.
Is there anything that I am missing, hardware wise or installation pointers?
Thank you for any assistance!

I am considering a similar build for heavy Photoshop and Lightroom use. Currently on and older i7-1358 pin 3.0Ghz XEON cpu, I'm considering either a new i7-4930 or dual Xeons as you are. The reason for the Xeons is ability to use ECC memory and add more cores. This is a production system in daily use so I'd probably not be overclocking.
Interested in your and others views on this. Previous to my current system, I'v always had dual socket Pentiums, Athalons or Opterons, someof which are still in service but in a reduced roll.
I typically use fast drives, some SAS, 15K & 10K (SSDs now where it makes sense) and RAID where necessary, especially for SWAP drives in Photoshop along with lots of memory..
Thanks for any input here. Basically ECC vs non ECC (I know there is a speed hit with ECC, but really - how much?). Overclock (i7-4930) or non overclocking (Xeons)
I should also mention, Culch, that I am considering the same CPUs and MB as you.
Thanks for reading.

HT5271 was this update for mac using 10.5.8

i have been using the internet at work to access the web, (no problem)...I use safari 5.0.6 to connect with my aol account to get my mail, (no problem...until maybe about 3 weeks ago, safari will no long get mail from aol. I tried to send some files to someone else, and it may have been to large for the aol account.
Now i can't get mail or send mail form safari, i must go to the website aol, to retrieve any mail. I've tried setting up a new account using the instructions that aol provided for imap, didn't work. I am constantly getting drafts that are repeating themselves...and i can't get rid of them by trash, or delete. i was 29 pages. the message i receive is the following......SOME ACTIONS TAKEN WHILE THE AOL WAS OFFLINE COULD NOT BE COMPLETED ONLINE. MAIL HAS UNDONE ACTIONS ON SOME MESSAGES SO THAT YOU CAN REDO ACTIONS ONLINE. MAIL HAS SAVED THE OTHER MESSAGES IN MAILBOX ON MY MAC AND IN MY MAC SO THAT YOU CAN COMPLETE THE ACTIONS ONLINE. ADDITIONAL IINFO....The connection on the server imap.aol.com on port 993 has timed out............I would like to be able to get rid of the email i was trying to send with the large files......can anyone help me......This is the first time i have been on this site with a question....so for those of you who know more than me, i respectfully say THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

if I don't find a better solution I'll try your 2nd option but what do you mean by "combo" update?
My understanding is to simply insert the OS 10.5 installation CD, reinstall the OS and the just keep updating it via the OS SSoftware update panel and stop untill I see the scary Java 8 update. Is that what you meant?
While you can do it that way, the combo update picks up operating system updates through a collection of releases. When dealing with operating system upgrades, I've found using the combo updates to be more reliable than Software Update, as sometimes Software Update doesn't apply updates correctly, and weird things can happen. Doesn't happen often though, thankfully.
So the OS X 10.5.5 Combo update contains all updates between 10.5.0 and 10.5. The 10.5.8 combo update contains the updates from 10.5 thru 10.8. Here are the updates:
10.5 combo update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL692
10.8 combo update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL866
If you go down the combo path, repair permissions before and after doing each update. Then do Software Update for any other non-OS X updates, and don't apply the Java Update 8.

Problem with downloading updates for CS6 and Camera Raw 7.4

I am unable to update my CS6 to get the latest updates and latest Camera Raw for Canon 6D. I get an error message that says close Adobe Bridge. Photoshop is closed and as far as I can tell Adobe Bridge is closed. What do I do now?

In Windows, open the Task Manager and, in the Processes tab, close bridge.exe.

CC (2014) Photo Program and other CS6 apps - Updates for CS6 to CC (2014)?

I have the CS6 Design & Web Premium apps installed, plus the Creative Cloud Photo Program option (PS and LR).
With the new CC (2014) release today I'm being offered CC (2014) updates for all the CS6 programs that I have that aren't in the Photo Program (i.e. Dreamweaver, Illustrator, InDesign, etc). Surely this isn't right. Shouldn't it be asking if I want to Install or Try them rather than providing an update?
If I go ahead and update will it start charging me more? Its a bit confusing!

I installed all the updates, including the CC 2014 programs. I am not being charged for them. However, they are not updates to the other programs. I now have 2 versions of all my CS6 programs installed on my computer. The CC 2014 programs are now default, for some reason, and when I open them they ask me if I want to start a free trial or if I want to put in a license code. My CS6 code doesn't work, obviously, but I tried anyway. I'm a little annoyed that this was offered to me like it was an update for my programs, even though it wasn't. And if I uninstall them, I am afraid that it is going to tell me that I have "updates" and try to install these programs again.

ACR 7.4 update for CS6

Updater mechanism (CS6) is not seeing the available ACR 7.4 update. Any recommendations for access to the update? Running Mac OS X 10.8.3. Upon upgragding to CS6, Adobe Application Manager stopped finding available updates. I have had to manually update Photoshop/Bridge ever since the CS6 upgrade. "All applications are up-to-date" has been the only message received when searching for updates.

Thank you for the feedback.
Ran the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool.
Reinstalled Photoshop CS6 from the "Your Downloads" page.
Opened CS6 13.0. Checked for updates. Application Manager found updates for Bridge, Ext. Mgr., Photoshop and Camera Raw.
The updates could not be applied. Per the error log...Error Code: U43M1D207 for the following...
CSXS Infrastructure CS6
Photoshop 13.0.4
Dynamic Link Media Server CS6 1.0.1 Update
Camera Raw 7.4
Extension Manager 6.0.5 Update
Bridge CS6 5.0.2 Update
I ran the update mechanism a second time...received the message "Your applications are all up-to-date."
Repeated the process above and had the same results. Any recommendations? Thanks.
