Mac CS5: Why is Illustrator not 64-bit?

Was just wondering why Photoshop is the only 64-bit application in the suite?

Hmmmfff. I was under the impression the whole suite was 64-bit.
Not cool.

Mac CS5: Why is Illustrator screen redraw so slow?

I'm using an 8-core Mac Pro and 10.6.4. Why does it take almost 1 second for the Illustrator window to redraw when the window is resized? It should be immediate, especially when there's not even a lot of graphics. The same goes for zooming in and out and scrolling.

It is impossible to know without knowing something about the Illustrator file. One large linked image will do it. Adobe programs are notorious for their inefficient programming and shoddy interface elements, many of which are actually Flash elements. This is one area in which Illustrator is not the worst offender. Most of the former Macromedia programs are terrible.

A .exe file is a Windows executable. OS X does not run Windows programs. If you need to use .exe files then you will need to install Windows on your Mac:
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

Why does Illustrator not remember filepaths when saving ??

Hi,
I'm finding it really frustrating that Illustrator 10 (on iMac G5 OS 10.3.9) does not remember filepaths when saving.
Perhaps I've overlooked a setting somewhere.
Does anyone know how I can rectify so Illustrator defaults to the last used filepath (as does almost every other program on earth) ??
I'd be very grateful for any help.
Thanks in advance.

Can anyone tell me why this is happening? Am I not saving this correctly?
Well, to what format are you saving? The native AI format should always retain layers. Other formats such as EPS or older PDF Levels may indeed enforce flattening. also make sure you are not confusing layers with groups/ objects. There's a crucial difference between the two.
And even more important, is there any way of restoring the different layers once this has happened?
Well, you can manually add new layers and drag&drop your objects and groups into the new layers in the layers panel, but if you save it again to the wrong file format, that is wasted effort, so for the life of it make sure you get that figured out first.

Is CS5 Save for Web not 64-bit?

I got a memory warning when trying to do a Save for Web with a 5K image. I was going to reduce it there. Is Save for Web limited to 32-bit RAM addressing?

5k? in resolution? so 5000 pixels high or wide?
If yes, you got this warning in all earlier versions to, as the Save for Web is not intended for these sizes of images. If only 5k file size there is a problem.

Why will illustrator not install?

I've been tryng to install illustrator from CC for about an hour now and it's still showing 0% and eventually failing installation, I have updated CC and I have paid my subscription but it's just not doing anything, my connection speed is fine.

1. sign out and then back in to your cc desktop app, retry.
2. if that fails, follow solution 2 here and retry, CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed
3. if that fails and if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-direct-download-links.html
and activate with your adobe id.
if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

InDesign CS5 (Mac OS 10.6) can not open its own file

I need guidance to open an artwork file that in one hour I have to send to the print shop. InDesign refuses to open its own file.
Any clue? Adobe, please help.

Re: InDesign CS5 (Mac OS 10.6) can not open its own file
Bob and Peter
Thank your for helping us out. It was really necessary to ask a coworker to open the file and export it in InDesign markup language.
Three hours later than expected, but it's done!
We are stuck here. I'm a Master Collection user of CS5, using only Dreamweaver, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Bridge and Acrobat Pro. (I don't know why I bought the Master's). My coleague former Window user, got a Mac in May and downloaded the trial version of Design Studio Standard Collection of CS5.5. Before expiring, we purchased its license and filled it in the active trial version.
A couple of months ago we noticed that were missed Plug Ins on his version and contacted Adobe who instructed us to download the whole files again. We never did because it is a pain to get rid of the missing parts of a pre installed trial version etc.
I will ask Adobe to send a CD disk for his version.
Regards,
Junia

I want to upgrade to Illustrator CC, but my Imac is not 64 bit. Will it work?

I want to upgrade to Illustrator CC, but my Imac is not 64 bit and the display doesn't meet the 1280 x 800 recommended. Any options other than buying a new iMac? Can't upgrade my current Illustrator CS2.

You have a mid 2007 iMac. All Intel Macs are 64 bit architecture.
If you upgrade your OS X version and upgrade your RAM, you can certainly run Adobe CC apps.
How well it would run those apps would be the variable.
Your iMac model can be upgraded all the way to OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
Your model iMac can be upgraded to 6 GBs of RAM.
Adobe CC Mac system requirements
Mac OS
Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
Mac OS X v10.7, v10.8, or v10.9
1GB of RAM
3.2GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
1024x768 display (1280x800 recommended) with OpenGL 2.0, 16-bit color, and 512MB of VRAM (1GB recommended)†
Internet connection and registration are necessary for required software activation, membership validation, and access to online services.‡

"Save for Web and Devices" does not highlight in my Mac CS5

I cannot even get the 'Save for Web and Devices' to work at all. It does not come up as a highlighted choice on my Mac CS5 for any image file format. I've tried in 64 and 32 bit. I wish I had stuck with CS4 until CS5 worked. Anyone got any tips?

1) You can run multiple releases on the same system. This is especially useful if you have an established workflow and you need to ease into an upgrade,
2) You can download a trial of CS5 before blowing £200 to see if it does all that you need.

Why can I not update my CS 6 programs to Mac OS X

I am having problems with updating the latest Updates for my CS 6 programs *here PS and Ill. fx. And the notice says to contact costumer support, but only get a few Q's and A's.
HOW do I get in direct contact (or chat/mail) with costumer service of ADOBE_

Hej again Steve
Ok sorry again
But you seem to be quite into this field. (and I've unfortunately been
'out' for a while). I used to be up to date, but now, it's all moving so
fast, and if you're away for a few years then you're (screwed)
I've been trying to get in touch with Adobe mostly for 1. update of my
programs because I seem to have a lot of 'faults' in each (crashing, screen
moving and such)
BUT 2. also because I want to join CC and with the 40% off (as I have an
original CS) but when I enter info, it will not accept my serial nr. NOW
after your guidance I came across this site which shows that I am granted a
''free'' CC. Am I reading this right. _ ? I am no idiot, but yes, in the
computer field _ I am a designer and a damn good one, but all the techichal
(that is another language _ and heck, we all have our fields_ I go to a
mechanic to get my car fixed, you?
Just smiling
Look forward to hear from you
Athena
2014-05-25 22:33 GMT+02:00 Athena Windelev <[email protected]>:
Thank you Steve / at least it seems that I can get a ''chat'' going.
A few years ago I could mail them but now not that and no phone (or rather
when I call long distance I never get thru) what I most want is personal
contact. Because even if they list 20 or something common Q and A's mine do
not follow in on any of the categories. BUT thanks again for the link.
Maybe you can help me with others ... Just a thought
I\m trying to upgrade my PS, ID and Illustrator CS6 / and I know from
previous Adobe guidance, one should not just take the latest. I seem to be
successful with my ID (but yet to prove when I test it, which I haven't had
time to yet) BUT my PS and Ill come up with this (see attached file).
Hope you can help. Anyway, you have so far.
Because you see - I have an original CS6 and want to upgrade to CC soon.
AND they offer a 40% discount if you already have the original. BUT when I
type in my serial nr. it won't register this. I've been trying (no kidding)
for a year now, if not longer. AND this is not in one of their Q and A's
Best

Complaint: Why can I not download a Windows 8.1 ISO on Mac?

Hello,
I have been sent here by you customer service team to make a complaint.
I have recently purchased Windows 8.1 pro student as a download. I need this for university and was planning on boot camping my mac to do this. I am told the only way to download this product is with a windows machine. I have tried at work but need administrator
privileges also.
This is simply a ridiculous system that you need the operating system that you are downloading to make the download occur. You should be able to download an iso file or the like. I have ordered a backup media (obviously at my expense).
The customer service people I spoke to were very unhelpful. Also this process of complaints is poor. Why can i not talk to someone re a complaint?
Regards
James

I spent hours building a photo album for my parents only to find out that because my mac is earlier than 2007, even though I have 10.6.8, I can no longer order?! What is with that? This makes no sense. I can go online to various "photo shop" place and regardless of the OS and computer I am working from I can order a photo album so why can I no longer do this through iPhoto on my MAC?
How do I order my album now? If somebody could please explain as I am going home in 1 month and really wanted to surprise my aging parents with this book.

I found this:
