No CS5 updater for Mavericks but CS6 gets one

Another glaring example of Adobe coldly abandoning its Fireworks users. There's an updater for CS6 for the new Mavericks OS, but no updated for CS5.
Adobe keeps making me dislike it more. Wish Macromedia had never sold Fireworks. At least they had some enthusiasm about the app.
And I'm not about to be sucked into the pay-in-perpetuity scheme called Cloud, in which they make whatever tweaks to the app that they feel like making whether I want 'em or not. At least in sticking to CS5 I have an app that I know, without unrequested, un-cancellable "improvement" changes.
Guess I'll just have to live with the new, erroneous "Could not save this file" prompts in CS5 and renew my Adobe disgust each time the prompt rears its meaningless little window.

There is NO alternative to Fireworks.
You are correct: there is nothing out there that completely mimics Fireworks. Do realize that the slicing paradigm in Fireworks is somewhat outdated, though, and web workflows have evolved. FW never really kept up with those since Adobe took over development.
Some options:
Sketch: http://www.bohemiancoding.com/sketch/
Xara Webdesigner or Designer Pro (which includes all of WebDesigner's features): http://www.xara.com/us/products/webdesigner/
Macaw will be out soon. Looks very interesting: http://macaw.co/
Antetype is also good, though more of an extra tool: http://www.antetype.com/
Myself, I replaced Fireworks with a combination of Photoline, Xara, and Color Quantizer. And the Foundation framework: http://foundation.zurb.com/

    Try troubleshooting Safari extensions and third party plugins.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
    If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

  • Updated latest update for maverick and am having issues

    i updated this past weekend to the latest update for Mavericks. and cannot get past the system setting up screen. what can i do to get past this?

    apologizes, the mac is intel, and the update was downloaded from apple. as I recall it asked me if I wanted to setup icloud, and I clicked later. then it started saying "setting your mac up.....".I let it go for a while, two times, thinking it needed more time. it did not take me to the desktop at all.
    I just read  a discussion about reinstalling mavericks to repair what might have a snag. i also have a call into apple later when i get home.
    can you elaborate on reinstalling the mavericks, for repair, without erasing the drive?

  • Just got a Nikon D610 and CS5 for Mac can't open the images -- message says installed version of camera raw doesn't support the camera.  Downloaded the Raw 6.2 update for Mac, but installation failed. Now what?

    The D610 didn't get out-of-the-box RAW support until Photoshop CC.
    You can either upgrade to CC or use the DNG Converter to convert and open your DNGs in CS5.

  • After updating to Mavericks and trying to updates for my apps I get : This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.

    After updating to Mavericks and trying to updates for my apps I get : This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled. My apple id has always been .mac but after the update I used .me. Are these not synonymous?

    Hi everyone yesterday I was experiencing the same problem I am glad to share its fixed now for me
    "This issue is only related to our Apple ID and to to those specific apps which we already have on phone or had installed on phone before except for those apps which we already have in purchase history AppStore>Updates>Purchase(on iPhone) History(having cloud icon next to them) it's something related to our purchase data
    *ITS NOT RELATED TO PHONE OR MAC!
    *RESETTING OR UPDATING THE DEVICE WONT MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
       (As in my case it  was on iPhone 4 7.1.1 iPhone 5s 7.0.3 and iTunes of course )
    Here is how I got it fixed
    I contacted apple support via chat method and I  asked about a solution giving my info.she told me that she submitted my application and in order to resolve this I should not be using my AppStore ID for any purchase for at least 30mins as  doing so may not resolve the issue so I checked it after couple hours and it's fixed
    (As I read in some other discussions that some people asked for solution from apple support and they told them to reset the device or so.. You may need to make your statement clear that it's appearing both on iTunes and iPhone )

  • How to switch to a different app store? I am trying to update my apps but am getting a popup that says your account is not valid for use in the uS store. you must switch to the Canadian Store before purchasing. How do I do this?  I can't find the place

    I am trying to update my apps but keep getting a popup that says "Your Account is not valid for use in the US store. you must switch to the Canadian Store before purchasing." I can not find where to do this! Please help! Thank you!

    [Apologies to pdesteele for this slight OT bit, but it's all relevant to your question, I think ]
    We do have a place in the UK which we could use as an address, but for various reasons it gets a bit complex even though we still have a UK bank account. We moved to France when there were no iDevices and apps around, just bought the occasional music, so it wasn't a problem. Funny thing is I can't even download the free UK bank app because it's not available in the French store .
    I'll live with the problem for now as we plan to move back to the UK in a year or so - we miss the weather .

    I have also noticed the same "problem".  I do not fully understand the impact of using the same ID on multiple computers and devices if I want to keep them all in sync.

    because you do not have a 3rd generation device. The OS Version says so , otherwise you would be at 4.3.5 minimum and also Itunes is also always correct in determining if you have the latest OS ( if not it fetches the newest from Apple's Servers ) . And because a 2nd generation iPod stops at 4.2.1 you can't get the newest OS, because your device is old. Buy a new iPod , they have iOS5 preinstalled.

    Try going to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your device and tap on your account id, tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, and then select the Country/Region section and select Ireland.

  • I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for?

    I downloaded Mavericks and it won't install. I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for? I never had an administrator password-- I just hit enter and have never had a problem before with previous installations. I'm on an iMac, from 2007, running Mt. Lion (version 10.8.5). I've been looking for other's posts who may be having the same problem, but haven't found any. Can anyone help?

    Ugh. The 'no password, no work' thing is a recent Apple development. I ran into it on my system and ended up having to do a clean install on a partition I fully erased.
    I suppose, if you have the ability to, go online and look up how to burn a bootable DVD image. Download the 10.8.4 image then use the Disk Utility to make a boot image of it. You'll need a dual-layer DVD or a USB drive (or memory stick at least 8GB) If you've got an optical drive, burn the disk, if you've a USB device, use that.
    Then get a pocket drive and copy your important files off the system or let Time Machine do a full backup.
    When the backup is done, insert the disk and hold down the C key until the machine boots off of the DVD. At the point you get to the start window, go to the menu and choose the Disk Utility.
    In the Disk Utility, reformat the drive. You go to the actual DRIVE (not the Macintosh HD, but the root above it that is the actual hard drive device)
    I always do this and *partition* it into several volumes, the benefit being, you can store all of your music, documents and importans stuff on that secondary storage volume you make - it will have it's own index and then the first volume is where you put the OS and it will have it's own index as well. That way, if the OS throws a wobbler and you need to reinstall, you don't lose your data.
    Depending on the size of your hard drive, it is good to give your OS partition at least 60GB and optimally 100GB, and the rest for storage.
    Name your volumes, use the little box sliders to manually size them or put that number in the size window, select for the format, Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and hit Apply and then the Disk Utility will quickly create your new partitions.
    Once finished, quit the Utility and it will return you to the OS installer. Select the volume you want to install to and it should start up and install.
    Once the installation is done, you'll get the new machine startup then you MUST put in a password for the computer. Once you're in, and to the desktop, don't bother with any Mountain Lion updates, go right to the App Store and get the Mavericks update and let it install the app to your Applicaitons folder, then do that install.
    On a side note, there MAY be a way to make a disk image from the Mavericks application and avoid the entire Mountain Lion step.. I honestly do not know, but a bit of hitting the search engines may find out if there is. I think that if you looked for "make Mavericks boot disk or boot image' you may find something.
    Good luck!

  • With HP update for Maverick my photosmart C309A does not work properly

    After the HP-update for Maverick my printer HP Photosmart C309A does not work correctly. The scan facility is gone and the printer "hangs" after one print. I had to reset the printer software from a backup and to disable the automatic installation facility on my IMac. Shortly, very very very nasty. I hope this is the way for Apple to change this update into a good one. There is no other way to communicate with Apple then through the Community. I wander if Yosemite gives the same problems with printers.

    You are welcome.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

    Some people have solved this by restoring their previous driver from their backup.

  • HT5361 Mail update for Mavericks 1.0 is repeatedly not installing.

    I have tried to install the latest Mail update for Mavericks.  The update will not install  for me.  It appears to install, but never does.  Any solution?

    How do you know it isn't installing? For reasons known only to Apple, the version of Mail doesn't change to 7.1 as an update normally does.
