Issues with Adobe and Windows 8

I'm trying to use Creative Cloud's free trial run, but I have come up against a HUGE issue. For the last four weeks, I have tried in vain to get CS6 to install on my computer. I have a Dell Laptop with Windows 8 (which I am already quite disliking), and I have tried a multitude of methods to get the programs to install. I have tried using the adobe download manager (the download fails after downloading every time), directly downloading the programs (to which I get an error when the instillation is at 99% saying I don't have enough disc space, and I have plenty), changing the ULA(?) code in my registry to get the instillation to run, and trying to run the install under Window's 7's settings, to no avail. I'm getting extremely frustrated, is there something I'm doing wrong, or is this a common problem with Windows 8?

Hi Automatic motion,
Try disabling non microsoft startup services viz antivirus etc ( Ref : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-servic es-windows.html ) and then try installing.
You might also want to enable the hidden admin account ( Ref : http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-adminis trator-account-on-windows-vista/ ) and then try install in this account and check.
You can also troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5 -cs5.html.

Any issues with PE7 and Windows 7?

Hi All,
I am considering purchasing a second computer. I have had great success with PE7 and Vista, But I can't get Vista on the new Alienware I want to buy. So, has anyone had any issues with PE7 and Windows 7? I have read many posts where there are issues with PE8 and Windows7.
Thanks, Stan

It's a toshiba laptop.
4 gig DDR3
core duo
320 hard drive - partitioned
I also use a dual screen - 22" lcd monitor
I don't use it a lot, since I have a desktop. I've noticed having a
dedicated video card makes a world of difference in editing. This might be
your problem; a dedicated high end video card is the way to go.
If I do simple compilations I don't have any problems. I usaully am making
a DVD of soccer games. If there is a lot of special effects I'll use my
desktop that has XP.

I have been suggested to down grade to 10.6.6 due to issues with Adobe and Apple working things out. I have downloaded 10.6.6 but wont let me install. Any ideas?

Yes, simply reinstall from your Snow Leopard installer disc. The reinstall will not erase the hard drive. After reinstalling you can upgrade to 10.6.6 with your updater.

Non NVidia graphics card issues with Adobe and Mountain Lion

It took me a while to figure it out, but now I am certain. If using a Mac with a non nvidia graphics card there will be issues in Mountain Lion while using Adobe products. I tested this with Illustrator CS6 for over a year on 5 different Mac computers.
Here is what happens
As soon as I open Illustrator on a Mac without a NVidia graphics card and I attend to apply an shadow effect, Illustrator crashes. If I do this procedure on a Mac with a NVidia inside, all works well.
I tested this on the following Macs
MacBook Pro (Early 2009) with NVidia 9600M GT - it works
MacBook Pro (Early 2011) with Radeon 6750M - doesn't work
Mac Pro (Early 2009) with Radeo HD 5770 - doesn't work
The same Mac Pro (Early 2009) with NVidia GT120 - it works
MacBook Air (Mid 2012) with Intel HD 4000 - doesn't work
iMac (Late 2012) with NVidia 680MX - it works
Since I owned all these Macs, I could test it several times with different kind of software updates. 10.8, 10.8.1, 10.8.2 and 10.8.3 did deliver the same result. Everytime the same result.
Already got in touch with Adobe
With Illustrator CS5 it worked like a charme, so I assumed it could be an Adobe issue. But Adobe support told me, it's Apple's fault since 10.8 uses different processes for the graphics performance.
What can be done, to resolve this issue? I cannot buy only Macs with NVidia inside, since the small portable front of Macs is only coming with Intel graphics cards. And is there anybody out there, having this issue? I cannot be the only one, using shadows in Illustrator.

A typical response. IMO it's most likely a combination of Adobe's reluctance to fix the issue combined with Apple's desire for advancement and change. I've personally experienced several things that've become broken owing to Apple changing fundamental aspects of the OS, and the developers of the third-party software in question have either never fixed their software, or are taking their sweet time. WireTap Studio and Snapz Pro from Ambrosia are a case in point, though they eventually fixed Snapz Pro. Eventually…
Frankly, good luck getting either side to do anything about this. Your best bet is probably getting in touch with AppleCare and seeing if you can get this escalated to Engineering, but I wouldn't hold your breath for a fix from either party. Or perhaps one of the Apple mailing lists will prove useful.

Issues with airport and windows XP

just installed XP on my mac (cant believe i just typed that!) and running airport extreme and expresses (no WEP) and can connect on the macbook running OSX (10.4.6) no problem. boot into XP (pro) and i get a connection, strong signal, all that jazz, but when i launch explorer, no connection. I have tried to ping google.com from the command line, again, nada.
But the signal strength is good on the XP side, and connecting fine when logged in on the OSX side.

Beatriz,
Not that we know of, but honesty forces me to say that we haven't tested it ourselfs yet, since we still use Windows/2000.
On the other hand, from my experience issues with CDM always were more dependent on the version of the browser
or Word you are using and less of Windows versions. It would not surprise me if using the Word templates with
Word from Office XP would know some issues. Those would than be caused by changed behaviour in the way Word
deals with macro's.
What the rest of the iDevelopment Accellerator Suite concerns, this can be easily found out by checking the
compatability of Designer and Developer against Windows XP.
With kind regards, Jan Kettenis

Issues with CDM and Windows XP?

Hi,
My client is planning an upgrade to Windows XP Professional. They use the I-Development Accelerators, including the CDM.
Are there any known issues or problems with using CDM in an XP environment?
THanks,
Beatriz.

Website Owner having new issues with Clients and Windows 8

I own a website that has a home-programmed chat. We've been in business about 12 years without any issues with compatibility. The chat is programmed in C and runs in a standard browser.
Lately I've had a few users (3 or 4) that have upgraded their machines and can no longer run the chat.
Most users that use Windows 8, or 7, or Vista, or whatever, have no problems. They can use the latest versions of IE, Firefox, Chrome, whatever they choose.
However, these users with problems can use none of the above.
I've gone through standard programs that block a chat, like firewalls and other spyware preventions. Shutting these off doesn't resolve the problem. Conflicting programs doesn't seem to be an issue, either. They aren't touch screen so I don't believe it
is a problem with the video card.
So that brings me back to the OS. The common thread seems to be that they are HP computers, and they have a new install of Windows 8. I think that there might be a missing DLL or other C Library that HP's installation of Windows 8 might be lacking.
Any suggestions on if I'm on the right track, and more importantly, how do I fix this problem?

Hi，
Seems this is a web-based chatting program, I suggest you add the site to a compatibility view list, (launch IE, Tools\Compatibility View list) then check this issue again. Check the error message and infromation recorded in the event viewer to find out
the cause.
Make sure the computers have all the latest updates, especially for video and audio drivers.
Clear the cache\temporary internet files in IE, or test this issue in a no add-ons mode.
From your description, it also sounds like a "defect\bug" for the chatting-program on Windows 8 on HP computers, if so, it should be related with development. you may find more help in the developer forum

Issues with Adobe and their Acrobat XI Pro product

A couple of problems I am having with Adobe products. First, you tell me I can't get Acrobat XI Pro in Papua New Guinea and yet you allowed me to have the free trial. Now I want to buy it and you won't let me. Second, your chat which says is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week doesn't work. Lastly, I can't change my country of residence in my account. So far it's a very disappointing experience with you. I wonder if there is some other product out there that does the same thing without all the problems I am encountering from Adobe?

Hi vintage kiwi,
I apologize for the inconvenience you are facing.

Compatibility Issues with CS2 and Windows 2000 XP??? This is supposed to be THE one operating system CS2 DOES WORK ON? Can someone help - I really need my CS2 back! Thanks.

HELP! Years ago - SEVEN to be exact- I PURCHASED Adobe CS2 and used it extensively. Then I was in an accident that took five years to recover from. After my recovery I tried to get back to using my Adobe products only to find that Adobe was discouraging use of CS2 and since I OWN a LICENSE and that was the LAST version I used I wanted to begin again with a version I am familiar with. Many months later, apparently I wasn't the only one who wanted to KEEP USING CS2 and now Adobe has made it possible to download this version for PC and MAC, BUT due to OS compatibility issues Adobe continues to discourage downloading and use. HERE'S THE THING: I have the SAME SYSTEM running the SAME OS as when I first PURCHASED IT. I have downloaded the EXACT SAME VERSION of CS2. It installs fine. But I cannot OPEN the application and the troubleshooter reports there are "COMPATIBILITY ISSUES". WHY?!?!?!?!?
I'm on a PC running Windows 2000 XP. I OWN a LICENSE for Adobe CS2 and it used to run on this very same machine. I had to re-format my system two years ago so it has much more free space but when I try to OPEN the application it won't run. When I run the Windows Troubleshooter it reports system compatibility issues?! Can anyone advise me what to try now??? Thank you.

Yes, I have. My system was completely cleaned of everything and I'm just now RE-INSTALLING CS2 for Windows2000 XP from the Adobe site that gives you versions to select for your OS. I have successfully downloaded disks 1,2 and 3 and I can INSTALL disks 1 and 2, but it FAILS at disk 3. I REALLY need to resolve this today because I need to submit some work by tomorrow and the troubleshooting isn't helping!
Can you advise anything else . . . anyone? Thank you!

I upgraded to Window 8.1 and now when I plug in my ipod nano gen 4 I get a message that says "ipod detected but it could not be identified". It also does not recognize my iphone 4. Microsoft says it is an itunes driver issue that is not compatible with the 8.1. Has anyone experience this?

HELP!! Issues with iTunes and Windows 8.1.

So I recently upgraded to a new laptop with Windows 8.1 and I have been experiencing some issues that I need assistance with. So far the issues I need help with are:
When I try to get album artwork for my songs, it gets through a small fraction then just kind of freezes.I have a lot of songs and albums but I have never had this problem before.
When I try to connect to the iTunes store, it takes quite awhile and then I am left with either a blank screen or album/song/etc. names and no pictures.And when I click on another link, it takes forever (again) and I experience the same issue while trying to travel to the new page.
I don't know what else to do and I can't figure out a solution. Please help me!!!

Hello RavensFan94
For both your issues, it sounds like you are having a hard time connecting to the iTunes Store to get album artwork and viewing content. Check out the article below for some troubleshooting options to get it working again.

File sharing issue with Leopard and Windows XP

I had no problem with file sharing (see the Windows machine on Leopard) before I reinstall the XP and update to SP3.
Now I cannot get the XP shared disk displayed on Leopard Finder. I looked through some guides and check these:
Both the two laptops are in the same workgroup called "WORKGROUP";
XP firewall disabled;
XP Guest Account enabled.
But I just cannot get the Windows icon back to the left column of my Finder. Have I missed something? Any body with any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Same problem but almost the reverse. 10.5.2 server, windows clients file browsing, opening and saving speed is great, but our 4 iMac clients (Leopard also) really, really slow to generate thumbnail views of files and open them. Happens across several shares, seems to be a problem with AFP, although now after disabling AFP on some of the shares, it is happening on SMB as well. I have read several other discussions on this forum that attempt to deal with AFP performance issues, but none provide a real solution. Now that it is also happening with the SMB protocol as well I am getting a bit concerned.
Any advice or even a link to more info would be greatly appreciated.

Help! Blur tool issues with Adobe CC/Windows 8/Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet

Hi everyone, would really appreciate your help with something frustrating. I have been using Adobe CC quite happily since it was released, but after upgrading to a faster desktop that runs Windows 8, for some reason the Blur tool is playing up. I've upgraded drivers and cleared caches but it keeps happening sporadically. Sometimes it will work, sometimes it wont. My pc isn't the fastest in the world (ie not video editing speeds) but is perfectly competent to run Photoshop; I've run the program on slower machines and am used to the lag that happens there, so this is something different.
What happens; the blur tool is slow, and inaccurate to the extent of being unusable. When I attempt to blur out a section, for example a section of background, it will instead blur out a totally different section of the photo, for example, the face of the subject.
I use a Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet CTE 450; I have upgraded its drivers as well.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated; this is only a small thing but is slowly driving me mad! I don't use the blur tool constantly so it isn't preventing me from doing anything, but it is handy when it works and extremely irritating when it won't!
Thanks in advance!!

Also adding; the same error happens when I use a mouse, which seems to indicate it isn't the tablet's fault.

I was installing itunes to my d drive so i uninstalled it and installed it to the c drive with my operating system.
All is perfect again.

Burning issues with itunes and Windows Vista Ultimate

I recently purchased a new computer with Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit version. Since loading itunes on my new computer I can not burn a CD. The message that I receive says that there is no burner available. I know the burner works because I have burned music out of different software programs. I have loaded and reloaded Nero 7 but I am finding that is not the problem. Itunes does not recognize any type of CD burner on my computer. Any thoughts?
Thanks

paul's onto it.
if you run your DVD/CD diagnostics (in itunes "help > DVD/CD diagnostics", select DVD/CD diagnostics) and you see a 2380 error showing up down near the bottom of the diagnostics (you may need to scroll down a bit), try reinstalling the 64-bit version of the GEAR drivers iTunes uses for importing and burning.
here's a link through to the GEAR drivers. note that there are two different versions of the 64-bit drivers. be sure to get the one that matches your hardware:
