  • PS, AE, and LR3 will not open in CS5 Master Collection

    Window7, 64-bit, CS5 Master Collection, LightRoom 3…
    Have had no trouble since loading CS5 (which was difficult) for the last month or more. Today, PS 64-bit, LR 3, AE and Mocha for AE will not open.  These programs close with a similar error message “i.e., Adobe Photoshop 64-bit has stopped working.  All other programs in CS5 including Photoshop 32-bit will open?
    Any suggestions on what to do to correct the problem?  After spending 2 weeks installing CS5 this is heartbreaking - I wish Adobe would pay for my downtime!
    Thanks,
    Randy

    This worked for me: turn off User Account Control and then reboot.

    Hi Mylenium,
    I ran the Adobe Support Advisor and it came back without identifying any errors.  However, when I closed the advisor this grayed out message come up:
    "Creative Suite Product Install Inspector has identified the issue(s) that needs attention. An issue report has been generated.  Adobe will use this issue report to helpaddress the issue(s) in the future."
    I just spent 2 hrs with Adobe Tech Service and they could not identify a problem and suggested that I remove all 3 programs and reload.  LR3 almost loads - it is in "Web" trying to open a flash gallery plug in when it fails.  The other programs do not open at all...
    I am going to remove and reinstall LR3 first and see what happens.  Then I will (unless someone suggest something else), reinstall Windows 7.  Reinstalling W7 was the only thing that worked for me when I initially installed CS5 for the first time...
    Thanks,
    Randy

  • CS5 Master Collection Update Fails Mac OS 10.9.2

    Hello All,
    I have a CS5 Master Collection Student Teacher Edition installed on a Mac Pro, which is licensed, registered, and works perfectly. I recently purchased a Mac Book Pro running OS 10.9.2 which I installed the entire Master Suite Collection on with no issues during the install. I use Photoshop mostly and have not had any issues using it over the past week since the installation. I noticed that the Adobe Application Manager Icon had 11 updates which I have tried to install multiple times over the past week and receive the below. If anyone could assist me I would be very appreciative. Thanks in advance for any assistance!

  • Notebook Specs for Adobe CS5 Master Collection

    Hi guys, I am currently in process of buying a new notebook.
    I will be running a Adobe CS5 Master Collection and few other programs.
    Can you guys let me know what are best specs that this notebook must have?
    I know Mac is best option but my company is not willing to get one, they are willing to settle for HP / Dell / etc…
    I will need this notebook to handle multiple applications at a time (dreamweaver, illustrator, photoshop, etc etc…).
    I dont want the basic specs, what more can i include to get this notebook running like a super machine?
    eg. 8GB Ram, i7 processor?
    What do you guys advise?
    Thank You
    Bradley

    I was curious about your experience with CS5 Master Collection, since I purchased the CS4 Master Collection more than a year ago.
    I had previously bought the CS3 Master Collection and upgraded.  The original CS3 collection was reasonable to work with because there was a  Disc for each different program.  If you needed to reload a program you could figure it out.  When I upgraded to CS4 which was a decent price, I figured what I would get would be comprehensible in the sense that CS3 was.  What I received was (I believe 5 discs...I don't have them with me) labeled Content
    and Applications.  It wasn't long, because of the general 64-bit confusion, that one of the programs (Acrobat Pro) became corrupted.  I wasn't sure which disc or discs to load.  There are absolutely no instructions or anywhere you can go to find them.  Adobe provides nothing for Master Collection
    owners, or rather up-graders...try sending an email...good luck.  Try calling...to find out how to load a program?  By the way when I try to load one of the Content discs, I get a message that says my laptop, with all the bells and whistles, and which originally accepted the Master Collection, cannot load the software, whatever that means.  I wrote several emails to Adobe asking for help, I'll even pay for it...no answer.  I also subscribe to the Professional Photographers podcast and Adobe is frequently mentioned as having terrible customer service and having over-priced software.  I'm seriously thinking of alternatives, but everyone uses Photoshop, which you're probably better off buying by itself.  Or, you could wait for another frustrated customer to post his/her complaint to the Adobe Forums.  I don't think the Adobe administrators will let this be posted, but please, be forewarned about the terrible customer service.

    The more they spend the faster you will be able to work.  A good processor like an i7, Windows 7 64 bit and at least 4 GB RAM will be a good start, 6 or 8 GB would be good.

  • CS5 Master Collection: So much installs, even when I choose not to.

    Hello everyone! I have installed Adobe CS5 for the mac, but have been very choosey in my install options. During the install, I only chose Photoshop, After Effects and OnLocation to install, as well as unchecking ALL of the other options. Low and behold, after the install in my Applications folder I have: Adobe After Efects CS5, Adobe Bridge, Adobe Encore CS5, Adobe Media Encoder CS5, Adobe OnLocation CS5, Adobe Photoshop CS5, Adobe Premiere CS5, Adobe Soundbooth CS5 folders.
    Inside the Encore, Media Encoder, Premiere and Soundbooth folders are small apps that if I try to open it says: "You can't open the application xxxx because it may be damaged or incomplete".
    Why do they install those folders if I chose not to install those apps?!

    Yeah, I remember having a similar issue with CS4. CS5 seems to be so much worse, however.
    For example, if I run the CS5 Master Collection installer and install ONLY Photoshop CS5 standalone without any additional components, it will also install Third Party Content for After Effects, Premiere Pro, Soundbooth, etc. leaving folders for those apps. Why is any of that necessary?
    Anyways, I was just curious if anyone else has this issue or if it's an isolated issue.

  • Problem installing all of the cs5 master collection

    when installing the adobe cs5 master collection. all programs install apart from photoshop. ive deleted all old adobe programs and searched my computor before hand but it seems to think it has already downloaded it.
    I just get the photoshop folder with no program to run.
    any help would be really appreciated.
    this is driving me mad.

    Then re-install Photoshop.

  • I have Adobe CS5 Master Collection. Will this machine run it alright?

    So I am in the process of shopping for a new computer to run some adobe software on. I have the Cs5 Master Collection, but generally I will only be using certain programs, specifically Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, occasionally Flash and... Soundbooth too I guess because that’s what comes with the version I have.
    The link below contains the computer I "think" I am in love with right now for my purposes, but I can t be sure. I am not 100% certain. I would really appreciate it if someone could give a run through of the specs listed on the page. I will link adobes minimum requirements too. Even though I’m assuming some of the more tech minded people here have most of them memorized. Either way any and all help is appreciated.

  • Where can i download adobe cs5 master collection?

    Hi i was looking for old adobe cs5 master collection download not adobe creative suite cs5.5 i have searched every where but still cannot find it.please help me i need it.Warmest regards

    well, seeing as there was no answer here, i called adobe today, appartently adobe decided with the release of 5.5, there are no more trial downloads for cs5.0, i really hate when they do things like this , i can't keep up with everyone else and always get to the products late to try, i'm frustrated and VERY upset by this style of adobe doing these things.  I love to photoshop and learn, but they make it impossible, especially when 5.5 as they told me, was released a month ago.
    It's just so wrong!!
    so, no more downloads for that folks.!!  only cs5.5, and i'm just not able to afford that now *cries*

  • Adobe CS5 Master Collection System Requirements - A Mistake?

    http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/mastercollection
    I am a student who purchased Adobe CS5 Master Collection a few weeks back.
    Before purchasing the product I looked at the system requirements at the link above.
    I thought, "Cool! That's not too hectic, I have enough cash to build a computer with those system specs."
    So I went and bought Adobe CS5 Master Collection, all amped up and ready to get a computer for it, excited to start learning the program.
    Looking at different options around the specs, in Adobe's link above, I started asking questions, and soon I was advised by many users that those specs WOULDN'T do it for Adobe CS5 Master Collection.
    Looking at my budget, comparing it to the suggested builds in this Forum, I am now depressed, because the cheapest Budget Build is way out of range of my budget.
    I feel let down, because I purchased a program with the trust that Adobe provided those system requirements SO THAT the program can run nicely on those specs.
    So my question:
    WHY are the system requirements, at the link above, 2GB of RAM (4 or more reccommended) and Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Phenom II, if there are so many warnings on this and other forums that those specs will not be enough? (The Budget Build in this Forum suggests a quad core and 8GB of RAM)
    Does this mean that had I bought a computer going on the specs provided in Adobe's link above, say a Core 2 Duo and 4GB of RAM, that I then would NOT have been able to get started nicely, learning and working with Adobe CS5 Master Collection?

    Thanks for the new article "System requirements for CS5" at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/810750?tstart=0 !

    JerryK wrote:They do not all seem consistent with each other, and so can be confusing for users looking to put together a new pc.
    Now that I have read several articles and discussions in this Forum, my understanding is that the reason why they may "not all seem consistent with each other" is because of the fact that the nature of each one's editing projects vary from one another which have a major impact on the hardware required to run projects effectively. So what works for one does not work for another.
    Yes, at this stage I do indeed find it VERY confusing as a newbie looking to put together a new PC, within my budget.
    However, I understand now that it would be hard for anyone to come up with a list of systems that will guarantee specific performance within specific budgets, because there are too many variables at play.
    The reality is that there are newbies who are just starting out for the first time, having no clue what all Adobe is about and what they can and are going to do with the program.
    I think that newbies like me who have to settle for a very low budget PC at first, just to get started, have to content with the AWARENESS that their system will allow only so much performance and nothing more.
    It would be nice if there were benchmark results of low budget PC's for beginners working with DV and HD, to help them at least not buy utterly useless systems, but systems that, though not super fast, will perform tasks specified in such a benchmark, with an added note that while using such a low budget PC (for the purpose of at least getting started with some projects as newbies/students), they could read about upgrades and start saving their coins for upgrades.
    Thank you for your answer in post 8:

    With a sufficiently capable CPU, no problem, provided you have the right disk I/O system and memory as well, yes.
    Based on the Adobe minimum requirements, no way. Even a single application like PR with AVCHD codec material will effectively come to a halt. Multi-tasking DW and PS is doable on such a system.
    My newbie question:
    With reference to post 7 and 8 above, if you can suggest a CPU, memory and disk I/O system for my present specific need, as described in 7 above, i.e. multi-tasking Dreamweaver, Photoshop and Flash, please do. I will view your suggestion(s) in this case as guide lines.

  • CS5 Master Collection release date

    CS3 was released 4th quarter 2007.
    CS4 was released 4th quarter 2008.
    Will CS5 be released 4th quarter 2009?
    I have CS3 Master Collection running on Vista Ultimate 64-bit with 16GB RAM, quad core CPU, 1GB video card.
    Not sure if it is worth upgrading to CS4 Master Collection or wait for CS5.
    Which apps in CS4 are multithreaded?
    Which apps in CS4 are 64-bit?
    Will everything in CS5 Master Collection be multithreaded and 64-bit?

    There was much more than 12 months between CS3 and CS4, more like a year and a half. Maybe there was a gap of 12 months between the time you acquired CS3 and the release of CS4.
    Adobe does not announce its releases that far in advance. However, don't count on a "CS5" release within 12 months of CS4. Historically (and per public announcements from Adobe), there is typically a gap of 18 to 24 months between releases although that is not a committment one way or another.
    The only CS4 application with a 64-bit version is Photoshop (Windows only).
    I think you can reasonably assume that not all applications in the next version of the Creative Suite will be 64-bit.
    Whether it is "worth" upgrading CS3 to CS4 depends on your real needs which only you will likely to be able to determine.

  • Cs5 master collection - adobe.it

    good morning
    on italian website www.adobe.it I find trial version of photoshop cs5.
    when I try download photoshop cs5 ext, I find italian version.
    when I try download cs5 master collection or other, I don't find it. but only english, french and deutsche language.

    It could be the Italian version is ready for posting. This forum is not an avenue to official Adobe tech support. I'd advise posting in the adobe.com forum. The problem can be addressed by Adobe employees that monitor that forum.
