Just some feedback on the 2014 CC Update

Just some feedback. When I installed the 2014 Adobe CC Apps last evening, I was expecting it to "update" (As it was labelled an update) the current CC apps on my hard drive. Instead it installed all new 2014 versions instead of an upgrade. This ended up being a minor issue as I am running my OS and Apps on an SSD, and have limited space. It just would have been nice to have seen it (CC 2014) clearly labeled as a new version of the apps instead of as an "update". That could have been a misunderstanding on my part, but it could be better labeled. Other than that, everything is fantastic, thank you very much.

1) Do I NEED to "update" or INSTALL?

3) We sure thought we were signing up for "always current apps" - updates, yes - but a complete new installation?
1) If you don't have alot of money tied up in plug-in's that don't work under the new programs... then you way want to update/install. If you have need of the new features, then you may want to update/install. However, need is subjective, and only you can determine that.
2) For this update, it appears that this is the Adobe way, for the moment. From the information I have gleaned, (Caution! Assumption! ) it appears that they are doing it this way because of the lack of backward plug-in compatibility with the new CC 2014 apps. I can see why they would want not to alienate people who have several hundred dollars or more tied up in plug-ins.
3) That was my understanding as well, but I can understand why they are doing what they did... I just wish they would have let us know.

    i just tried to install the 11.4 update (or whichever one is the most recent update as of 1/26/2014) and when it failed i tried to install manually and now whenever i try to use it, i get the following error: "The application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." Right after i click ok i then get this error: "Itunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall Itunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)." I tried to uninstall Itunes and then reinstall the 11.03 version but that didnt work either. I want to know if i copy all of the music in my itunes folder to an external without consolidating can i still transfer all my itunes music from my current windows xp pc to a brand new one and have my current itunes library in my new pc? Basically i just want to know 3 things: What exactly does consolidating the itunes library do? Can i copy, paste, and transfer my itunes library to an external and from there to a new pc? Will i be able to transfer my itunes library without consolidating the files?

    I have found a temporary solution, allowing the previous version of iTunes (v. 11.1.3 (x64) in my case) to be re-installed.  It will allow you to re-establish use of iTunes until the Apple software engineers fix the most recent disasterous upgrade (v. 11.1.4).  Please see and follow the procedure in the following article:http://smallbusiness.chron.com/reverting-previous-version-itunes-32590.html   The previous version works beautifully.

  • Some Feedback on the New iPod Nano

    Hey!
    I really would like to get the new ipod Nano. I have never had an iPod before. I have been reading a lot of websites, forum posts here and MacRumors, iLounge, Cnet, as many places on the web as I could find that seemed to have credible info on the new iPods. I think the Touch is too difficult for my non-techie brain to handle and the shuffle does not have the FM Tuner. I read some good things about the Nano, mostly from exercisers, which is why I am buying it. But, I read more negative posts about the iPod Nano from people calling it a major mistake, a waste of money, etc. So after reading all the negative stuff about it I wanted to find out if this stuff is true, just due to the new Nano being so different then the previous Nano or what.
    There seemed to be a lot of people bringing them back since they could not turn it off, but in my research it appears the Nano does not "turn off" per se but if done right it will sleep and not use hardly any battery power. There has been some complaints about the ear phone jack not inserting tight enough so it moves around and causes some crackling noise when using the ear phones. I would be getting some higher-end ear phones, but not sure if that would help or affect the antenna component that is in the ear phone cord of the Apple ear phones that come with the Nano.
    I read some good things about it too. I was disappointed when I read that you can't sort the music into certain genre tunes or various exercise music according to beats per min once it is transferred to the Nano. I have no idea if this is true, what is true but really is not a big deal for a person using it for exercise.
    I read from a lot of posts that this was a big mistake on Apple's part. I listened to the Nano at the Apple Store, it sounded OK to me. I have not seen any cases for it to keep the sweat off of it and when I do exercise, especially run and bike, I sweat like a pig--oh, pigs do not sweat.
    Any feedback about all of these kinds of rumors or facts? Anybody care to share with me with their experience? Any opinions on the ear phone that come with the Nano or the Apple in the ear phones. Also, is it necessary to get the USB (white) charge adapter the iPhone uses for this ipod? I hear it can be plugged into the computer but if it sleeps it does not charge it. I have no idea how long it takes for an empty battery to fully charge.
    I was also wondering what the 30 pin adaptor or the adaptor that comes with the Nano, is for. Is that to hook up to a dock?
    Thanks for any opinions, thoughts, suggestions that anybody wants to share with me.

    Feedback from individuals is neither rumor nor fact. It's just their opinion. How much credence to give the opinions of people you don't know is always a challenging question. I tend to give less to people who sound like their whining or who obviously have unrealistic expectaions or didn't do their research or won't even try to troubleshoot issues. People who sound reasonable, who give a balanced evaluation (i.e. NOT "This Nano is the worst thing Apple ever made!!!"), I'll pay more attention to.
    I have one. I like it. Because of the cold weather and busy season at work, I haven't done much running in the last month. My Nano has been sitting, asleep on my nightstand. Hardly any battery drain. Yes, most computers wont' charge through the USB port if they are asleep. I use mine often enough that I don't have any problem charging my Nano.
    Can't answer your questions about sorting by genre as I never do that and I don't have the Nano here with me to look at it. I make playlists based on BPM on my computer. This works for me.
    I replace my 3rd gen Shuffle with this Nano. I liked the size of the Shuffle but was never happy with not having a screen. I'd always end up unable to find what I wanted to listen to. With the Nano, I have the benefits of the size, the clip but I can easily find what I want.
    In my personal opinion all the headsets Apple ships with iPods are horrible. They are uncomfortable and won't stay in my ears. I throw them away. I have a pair of Etymotic ER6i's that I love. They are in canal, passive noise cancelling headsets that are not that expensive. The fit me. I can sleep in them. They don't fall out when running. There are lots of opinions on headsets.
    I sweat a lot when I run. I just don't clip the Nano inside my clothes. Or where sweat from my face would drip on it.
    So, I think the Nano works very well for the type of exercise I do. I've been very satisfied.

  • Some feedback regarding the R7970 Lightning

    Hello MSI,
    My friend has been using the 7970 Lightning for quite some time and I was thinking about buying one myself.
    Thoughts (and I have been using MSI cards for years - especially the Lightning and Hawk series):
    - The cooling is very good - both the VRMs and the VRAM are also cooled (a detail often missed by the competition)
    - A backplate (or a bracer in the TF3) is present to minimize PCB warping
    - MSI Afterburner is well done
    - The power management is outstanding and probably has no equal, the PCB components are also top tier
    - Dis assembly is easy (I usually reseat the thermal compound whenever possible on all my GPUs I buy)
    However, I after experiencing his, I am hesitant due to the lack of a dual link DVI connector - my monitor is 2560x1440 with no Display Port. I would highly recommend that all higher end custom PCB cards except for dedicated Eyefinity versions (ex: with 6 mini Display Ports) have 1 Dual Link DVI port for the next couple of years (until Display Port becomes more common). Attempting to use an Active Display Port adapter from Display Port to Dual Link DVI does give issues still and it's not the seamless experience that a straight up dual link DVI would give. Certain applications cause crashes still.
    I think that if it comes down to a choice, supporting a 2560x1600/1440 monitor as DVI is far more important than supporting 6 monitors. Among the target audience of this card, there are going to be far more people with high resolution monitors than there are going to be people running Eyefinity 6.
    Otherwise, I am happy with the Lightning series as a whole.

  • I have an old Ipod Touch, Version 1.1.5 (4B1). I have just attached it to the computer to update my music but Itunes doesn't recognise it.  What can I do?

    Itunes doesn't recognise my old Ipod Touch - I have attached it to the computer but nothing happens.  How can I update it?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • Just upgraded Muse to the new 2014.3 update and now it crashes

    When trying to launch Muse it generates the 'Adobe Muse CC quit unexpectedly' crash report.
    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Muse. Also updated Adobe Air to the latest version to no avail.
    What a pain! Seems like everyone else is having problems with this.

    Sorry to hear about that Chris.
    I don't have a solution for the 2014.3 update problem but I've just worked out (after a full day of pulling what's left of my hair out) that you can roll it back to the previous version that worked (2014.2.1.10 I think it was).
    You would have to uninstall Muse first, then re-locate it in the 'find new apps' section of the Creative Cloud app. Click on the 'All Apps' drop down menu and select previous version, when you click on install this will give you the available versions to select for download.
    Hope this helps

    If you are absolutely positively sure that the password you are typing in is your Apple ID password, I would try once more to enter the password. Be real careful as you type and make sure that Autocorrect is not changing what you are typing.
    If no luck try to proceed without entering the password. If you can get the iPad functional go into
    Settings > ITunes and App Store and log in there.
    If you can log into to your Apple ID there you will also need to go to
    Settings > Messages > Send and Receive and enter or check the email at which you want to receive messages,
    Also
    Settings > FaceTime > check or enter the email address you want to be reached by FaceTime.
