Managing fonts in Adobe CS6 and Windows 7

Previously I had students add their fonts to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts. This worked well. I gave them write access to this folder and they would drag their fonts into this folder and they would be available to all products from the Creative Suite. This was when our school was on CS5.5 and Windows XP.
Over the weekend we reimaged the machines to have Windows 7 (64-bit) and CS6. Students can no longer add fonts to Adobe, as I am unsure of where the fonts folder is. They also cannot add fonts system wide, as they are not given admin access to these folders (which makes sense). I have tried to add fonts to the folder found at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts" but this does not make the font available to Adobe CS6 applications.
Is there a way to have fonts added to Adobe? I know that there are manny different applications that can manage fonts; can the Adobe forum users recommend one? I don't want students to be able to affect system wide fonts. I have dealt with the repercussions of giving students access to the Windows fonts folder.
Help in this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Blake

I have been hodling off upgrading to CS4 for a year now, since Adobe has not make any statements about Windows 7 support. If adobe has release some statements, can someone point me to the statement?
http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/faq/ See "Support for Windows 7"
What is the possible release schedule for CS5, I am thinking May 2010?
That's as good as anyone else's guess.
CS: Sep 2003
CS2: April 2005 (19 months)
CS3: April 2007 (24 months)
CS4: Oct 2008 (19 months)
CS5: May 2010 would be 19 months - but only Adobe knows the real date.

Installing Adobe CS6 on Windows Server 2008

The Adobe Extensions manager does not work properly and there for the InDesign application will not load properly becasue the extension/plugins are not being installed correctly. Cirtix requires that applications are inatlled via the Winowdows application installation tool
Is there a prescribed/recommended way to perform the installation of Adobe CS6 on Windows Server 2008?

Which is more important for Adobe CS6 and FCX on imac? Processor or Graphics Card?

Hi, I want to get the new 27" imac when it comes out this December. It will be my first mac although I have both an iPhone and iPad. I'm and artist and aspiring filmmaker and want to run Adobe CS6 and Final Cut Pro on it. I'm looking at the highest 27" but have limited funds for additional upgrades. Apart from RAM, what would i be better off upgrading on the imac? Going from the i5 to the i7? or going for the GTX 680mx Graphics card with 2gb of memory? or going for the 1TB Fusion drive? If you could only pick one or possibly 2, which would be the best to choose for video and graphics on the programs I mentioned? (I'm not into gaming, so performance on that front is of no concern to me)

I don't have CS6...
1) I would max out the video card. FCP X and Motion 5 uses the GPU over the CPU for processing power. Once you buy your new iMac you can't upgrade this...
2) FCP X and Motion 5 will use all the ram you can throw at it. I have 16 GB of ram and both programs at times uses all 16 GB of ram. I really should bump up my ram to 32 GB. I would say 16 GB is the minimum for video.
3) The processor would be last on my list. Computers are really fast even with an i5 processor. Once you buy your new iMac you can't upgrade this...
This is the iMac I bought last year:
27" iMc mid-2011
3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
16GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 4x4GB
2TB Serial ATA Drive + 256GB Solid State Drive
AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2GB GDDR5
Apple Magic Mouse + Magic Trackpad

Any reason why? It shows up in Illustrator and Photoshop just fine.

If you have never synced an audiobook yet, you have to connect your ipad and go to the books tab.
Scroll down past the regular books and there will be where you sync your audiobooks.
Then they will show up on the music app under "other"

Installing Adobe CS6 on Windows 8 (2012) Consumer Preview

Hello,
First off, yes I know it isn't supported by Adobe (yet), however, I want to present to you my case for future users.
I have been investigating an issue I have ever since I got an Error 101 with Adobe Download Assistant where after extracting, I get an error from "Set-up.exe" that it failed to initalize. What is even more interesting is that CS5 trial can run smoothly.
PDApp.log:

Meanwhile, the log even said that "Reboot is pending", and I have rebooted several times and also tried to find the registry key "InProgress" myself. There was no sign of that key anywhere.
Solutions I have tried:
Rebooted
Deleted Adobe OODE directory
Used Adobe CS cleaner tool
Redownloaded trial from Assistant Manager and directly from trial2.adobe.com
Checked to see I had enough disk space. (My partition has 250 GB left).
I am an admin, and ran the program under administrator.

I haven't seen any success trying to run CS5 or CS6 under Windows 8 Consumer Preview yet.
For CS6, It turns out that the whole problem was a corrupted .7z file from Adobe Download Assistant. I even downloaded the CS6 Master Collection .7z and the Web .7z directly with Chrome & IE 10. I don't know how they became corrupted in the first place with these many options.I managed to get it working from downloading the extracted files from another source. After that, every program worked, including Dreamweaver with no compatibility mode.
For CS5, it is also the corruption of the .7z file. Again solved by getting a unextracted source to get it working on Windows 8 Consumer Preview. CS5 works perfectly on my system too.
try in compatibility mode... even dreamweaver never opened directly in my windows consumer preview machine. after running compatibilty assistant and saving compatibility for xp-sp3 it worked perfectly
Simply, no.
Jeff, Adobe did well and I like the improvements the team made. I can tell you that the entire Adobe CS6 does work well with Windows 8 Consumer Preview (fully updated) smoothly.

Mac Adobe CS6 Photoshop Window Issue

In previous versions of Photoshop on Apple, the toolbars are fixed to the outside of the screen and the inside of the app is empty (seeing the windows or desktop below it). Adobe Illustrator CS6 still displays like I just described. However, Photoshop CS6 it is one window that is scalable (like I would expect on a Windows machine).
I'm attaching two photos. Here's Photoshop CS6:
And here's is Adobe Illustrator CS6:
I've looked through all the preferences and options. I've looked around online and haven't seen this question asked, but I apologize if its a duplicate.
Thanks,

What you're looking for is to disable the Application Frame setting. Go to Window - Application Frame in the main menu.

Find filter problem with Adobe CS6 and Mavericks

Hi to all!
I've 2 new MacPro with OSX 10.9 (is no possible to downgrade) with Adobe Illustrator CS6 and all software are full updated at the last version.
Firs of all I've found a problem after a last firmware update of my 2 MacPro, in samba connection, solved by AFP implement; in detail:
I've a Qnap storage with samba and afp shares, so when I connect the samba share the search function in finder not find any, but if I connect the same share via AFP protocol, all works good.
Ok, it's a problem but no so bad for me because I've the possibility to use AFP ;-)
Ok, now the big problem:
when I use the CS5 Illustrator and I execute the "insert" command, the search window show blank screen in the search area if I select a qnap sared folder (AFP or SAMBA shared get the same result, 0 element found)
After many and many tests I've solved with a workaround: I've forced the Finder to index the shared folder (from the command line in the console) and in this case I've no more problem...
The problem affect only the afp and samba share, with the local folder (volumes) I don't have any problem.
So, I can't downgrade Maveriks, and I'm sure the problem is not of CS6... then my only solution is to wait a future update of Mavericks?! or anyone can suggest me a solution?
Thank you for any reply.
Paolo

Go here to check out compatibility:

As for Photoshop CS6 itself, I have no issues running
it on Mavericks on my 2011 Mini Server.
Also, before upgrading, make sure any drivers for third
party hardware are up to date and compatible with Mavericks.

Question: using Adobe CS6 on Windows 8

I am about to purchase Adobe CS6 soon. Noticed that the specifcations say it needs at least Win XP or Win 7. I will be using Windows 8 & need clear clarification that Adobe CS6 will work perfectly and smoothly on Windows 8. If there are serious setbacks or problems to using adobe cs6 on Win 8, what are the problems I can expect & why? thank you.

There's a 30-day fully functional trial download which you should install then immediately update to the current version (menu Help > Updates). Make sure the trial runs well on your computer before buying a licence.

Adobe CS6 and OX compatibility

I am having problems with Fonts in In Design CS6 and Photoshop 6 (only programs I've tried after upgrading from CS5). It was suggested I make sure my Font Book is upgraded. I have OX 10.6.8 and font book 2.2.2 (163.2). According to my Update Software, I am up to date. I tried to upgrade to OS X 10.8.3 but it says I need 10.8 and I don't see that. What's the story? I'm confused!

How do I uninstall adobe cs6 and re install it

I had to wipe my mac's hard drive. When I went to put CS6 back onto my computer I dragged it from my external hard drive. Now every time I try to open one of the programs I am being told to uninstall it and reinstall it via error 16
When I went to try and find the uninstaller it doesn't show up on my utilities. Is there a way I can reinstall it onto my computer. I do not have the original external hard drive with me as i am out of the country and I do not have the download. Is there a way I can get the download again since I only have the software on one computer?

Macbook Pro early 2011, Adobe CS6 and open gl 2.0

Hi,
I would like to upgrade to adobe cs6 on my MBP early 2011 (lion). One of the requirements is "OpenGL 2.0–capable system". How do I check for this? If I'm running CS 5.5 should I be fine to upgrade?
Any help would be appreciated.

You can easily go ahead and upgrade
Lion has OpenGL 3.2.

Can i use Adobe CS6 and Autodesk in iMac 21 inch?

First, I'm a student.
I consider to buy a iMac these few week
I am confused to choose the suitable one
iMac 21" i read the specification, it showed 5400rpm, 512mb display
but the Adobe website said CS6 NEED 7200rpm and recommand 1gb display
Unfortunate, 21" is my limited
and i think Fusion Drive can solve it or not?
how can i change display card with a iMac?
Please help me.

Hello Vincent,
You can't change the Video card in the 21" iMac at all, & on the 27" you can only opt for a better Video at time of ordering.
Fusion drive will overcome muxh of the 7200 RPM requirement.
For CS6 Photoshop...
Mac OS
Multicore Intel processor (64-bit processors only)
Mac OS X v10.6.8 or v10.7 (64-bit application only)
1GB of RAM
2GB of available hard-disk space for the files; 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 qualified hardware-accelerated OpenGL graphics card, 16-bit color, and minimum 512MB of VRAM (Recommended - 1 GB)
DVD-ROM drive
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4222772
Other Adobe Apps may have different requirements, but PShop should do OK...
http://prodesigntools.com/products/adobe-cs6-system-requirements.html
If getting the 21.5", I'd recommend the 16 GB RAM upgrade at order time, you cannot upgrade ot later.
Looks like AutoCad 2013 will work on it...
