Problems with Adobe CS5 on mobile user accounts

Hello Everyone,
I'm a high school web design teacher and I’m having trouble getting Adobe CS5 to run on my student workstations when they are logged in as a “mobile” user.
Workstation 10.5.8
Server 10.4.9
Workgroup manager 10.5.3
Students can browse the web, use Microsoft products and everything else. They are only having trouble with CS5. If I log into the workstation as “administrator” I can use any Adobe product without problems.
Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Todd

First thing I would suggest is to upgrade your server OS to a newer version if possible. Secondly try removing the apps out of the allowable apps list and instead change it so that you allow the apps that are within the specific application folder, ex: Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS5
I had similar problems with CS5 apps and by adding the apps by allowable folder instead it corrected my problem. Granted, if you have savvy users, there is the potential to open a can of worms here but it was the only way I could get it to work for "standard" non-admin user types.

Any problems with Adobe CS5.5 and the Maverick system?

Has anyone had any problems with Adobe CS5.5 and the new Maverick OS? I don't want to install if there are issues. Thanks!

Printing problems with Adobe CS5

Hello all, I recently replaced the printers in one of our university Art Dept labs; they are using iMacs running Mac OS X 10.6.8 with Adobe CS5. They had three Ricoh CL4000DN color laser printers. They bought 3 Ricoh C320DN color laser printers to replace them.
Now, pictures that previously printed fine on the old printers look bad (color and black both incorrect) when printed with Photoshop and other CS5 programs on the new printers - especially when compared with the onscreen picture and the same picture printed with the old printer.
However, to make things even more interesting, these pictures print fine using the Preview program that came with the computers.
I've experimented with different color profiles, printer settings, updated the Adobe programs - so far with no success.
Temporarily, they are printing the needed pictures, etc. with the Preview program until we can find what's causing this issue. They are about ready to have me re-install the old printers.
I've already contacted Ricoh and their response was, well since it's printing okay via the preview program, not our problem...
Any ideas on what to check, change, upgrade next?
Thanks
Anthony Bailey

I would contact Ricoh, the suppliers of the printers, and query about the drivers, making sure that you are using the latest PostScript drivers for this printer.
I did lookup this printer on Ricoh's website. Apparently unlike your older printers that used Adobe PostScript 3, these low-cost C320DN printers do not use Adobe PostScript 3, but rather a third party “emulation of PostScript 3.” That could be your problem – a poor PostScript implementation in the printer.

Anyone having printer problems with adobe cs5 and mountain lion

I can print one copy in adobe cs5 but if I hit the print button it shuts down the program. Anyone having this problem besides me?

Are the drivers for your printer are up to date? You probably can print one copy cause it doesn't access the option window in your application.

MCX Managed printers problem with Adobe CS5.5

I manage 300 or so Macs running 10.6x with a 10.6 server using Workgroup Manager.
I am having a problem where the managed printers multiply exponentially in Adobe applications, so that on some machines there may be 15 or so versions of the same printer in the print dialogue box. This only happens in Adobe Applications. When I look in CUPS there are multiple MCX versions of the same printer, no other Applications seem to be picking up these extra printers. If I reset the print system and reboot then everything returns to normal for a while, but the extra printers slowly return. Is anybody else having the same problem and managed to solve it?

Did you ever resolve this? I'm also having issues!

Problems with Adobe CS5 Photoshop since Help Desk install

i downloaded the CS5 Photoshop upgrade and attempted to install. It would not install so i contacted the help desk about 2 weeks ago. The help desk rep signed into my mac and after about an hour or so was able to complete the install of Photoshop.
However, now when i try to add plug ins, i get an error message with the plugin installed (tried 3 different ones) saying that I do not have Photoshop installed.
Went to online chat and they told me to call 800 number,
Called 800 number and cued myself for a call back. Ryan called me back took all my information and then the line was disconnected. He took my callback number but never did call back.
Called 800 number a second time, qued myself for a call back. Adobe called me back, i waited 10 minutes with music, the music stopped and someone was on the line, but they disconnected the call.
Now on 3rd call back with a 40 minute wait. and i am waiting until someone answers

There support sucks. I have trying to install mime. Was in two different chats and still nothing. Not a happy camper.

Having the same problem with Adobe Story. Getting a warning that says "Failed to get user preferences, lost the internet connection." Any help would be greatly appreciated. Phone support was useless

Yes, me, just now! I was thinking it was because I am on a brand new computer and I did something wrong when I put itunes on it. But now I am thinking it is an itunes issue, not mine.

Strange problem with Adobe Acrobat X (crash without a trace)

Hi,
I have a strange problem with Adobe Acrobat. It happens totally randomly, it leaves no signs in system logs.
What is happening: during my work Adobe Acrobat sudennly crashes. After a crash I cannot run it again - system seems to do something for a second, but then nothing happends. When i look into taks manager - there are no processes of Acrobat.exe. It just doesn't want to run. What I need to do is to reinstall whole Adobe Acrobat - which requires restart.
I've already tried to restart system after crash, it doesn't help - reinstall is required.
Sometimes everyting is fine for a 3 months, sometimes crash happens a week after the previous one. It also happens in very different situations (somtimes while opening a file, sometimes when doing something simple, sometimes in more complex tasks).
Has anyone encountered a similar problem?
Acrobat version: 10.1.1

Has anyone else encountered problems with Adobe CMM clobbering Photoshop add-in filters?

I recently tried to install Adobe CMM, as a pop-up window suggested after I installed Photoshop CS5 on a new computer, running Win7x64 Ultimate. Before trying to install CMM, my Akvis Sketch Plug-In for Photoshop worked fine. Afterwards, Akvis Sketch runs under the filters menu, but will not accept mouse clicks from my Wacom tablet. Prior to Adobe CMM, all was fine. Somehow, the frustrating attempt to use Adobe CMM broke links to Akvis Sketch.
By the way, Adobe CMM setup tried to run and vanished without a trace - no indication of success or failure. CMM doesn't show on my control panel as installed software, so I can't de-install it.
I did un-install Akvis Sketch and re-install it. No luck as a filter, nor as a stand-alone program.
Additional point of interest - a second identical software/hardware workstation continues to run Akvis Sketch just fine because we didn't try installing Adobe CMM on that machine. It certainly looks like CMM is the culprit here.
Since Akvis Sketch is broken as a stand-alone, I doubt that de-activating, uninstalling and then re-installing, re-activating Photoshop CS5 will help, but it will take a lot of time to recreate actions and re-install other add-ins, plus preferences settings.
Has anyone else encountered problems with Adobe CMM clobbering Photoshop add-in filters, and have you found a work-around?

Thanks for your response. Recent evidence points to Wacom's tablet driver, not the plug-in.
Fact #1 - another identical system with ms mouse worked fine so I swapped out the Wacom tablet and bingo, the Akvis plug-in works again.
Fact #2 - So does Amazon's Kindle for PC app, which also quit working after running the Adobe CMM setup I'd downloaded.
Suggestion - since there's a legacy for CS5 users getting the "you should download CMM" pop-up, yet no need to do this, maybe Adobe should remove the CMM download page from its website - or flag this download as unneccessary for photoshop users. All Best, Charles Pierce.

Login.keychain and mobile user accounts

After removing a corrupt login.keychain file in a mobile user account, the user could no longer log in to their account when off site. What account login information is kept in the keychain file of a mobile account?

I don't have problems syncing other files that are also system packages, like iPhoto ones... although I have a terrible suspicion that again the sync agent only sees a single file, not a bundle.
I assume that the OS doesn't have any problem with packages since they are used pretty much elsewhere and they are basically a folder with a specific file inside that "forces" the OS to show us as a single file, instead of letting us see directly the content.
Even the new disk image format that Apple recommends to be used in order to speed up Time Machine backups (.sparcebundle) is based in package (or bundles, whatever you prefer to call them)
The main issue here might be the folder structure inside.
If you do a "show package content" and, for instance, check the thumbnails folder, I can easily see some chars that might create some confusion if not properly escaped during the sync, like on this example:
My Aperture.aplibrary/Thumbnails/%pARYo%fT52I77jmdf8mqQ/AP.Thumbnails
(Those "%" are so prone to errors if not properly handled)
Time Machine doesn't have any problem with both packages and those chars, so I truly hope that they use TM tech and improve the way that the syncing agent work.
Anyways, Aperture seemed a nice app.
I'm really sad that I can't use it because of this... specially when I'm considering getting a new digital camera.
I understand that it was recently released so let's hope that Apple can figure out what's happening and release an update (to either Aperture or Mac OS X Server) in the next few months.
Take care.

Problems with libraries and plugins - non admin account

I''ve got a couple of problems with a fresh install of photoshop on my windows Windows 7 64 bits system.
1. Libraries panel does not work. It displays the following error and interaction is not possible:
2. 3rd party plugins would load their content.
3. In the Creative Cloud Application the apps tab would load and displays the "download error" message:
The funny thing is that all the above errors don't occur on the loacl admin account. So I think this might be a permission problem. I think the most easy sollution would be to work under the admin account, but sadly that's no option (company policy). I am able to extent the rights of the useraccount I work on, but I don't know in wich folders the software needs write permissions. The both Adobe folders in program files and program files (x86) I already changed to full acces for all users. Can someone please help me?

Problems with libraries and plugins - non admin account https://forums.adobe.com/people/pippyn%20stortelder
This is a permissions Error. The other accounts on the computer do have permissions to use / change the administrator settings of these particular items.
There are two ways you can fix this. 1.) contact the admin of the system and let him know your accounts need read access to these items
My Preferred method is:
If you are on a Windows Account, then you can choose those items to run in Administrator mode for all people. ( win7,64bit )
Right click the infinity system for creative cloud (creative cloud icon - you would normally click to start the program. (not the one in your service tray, but the one in your menu area with the square red on it.
choose/click on properties
choose/click compatibility (tab at the top of the window)
Last boxed option on this screen is: Run Program As Administrator, Click that check box.
Click on Change Settings for All Users
in the window that comes up again choose, put an X in the box- the last option, Run Program As Administrator - Click Apply
Click OK
Click OK and the opened preferences window should now be closed.
You should be able to simply invoke the Cloud app now. But you might want to reboot to safe.
Depending on the installation methods used for your add-ons, you may have to perform this same process for all add-ins. I believe that would depend on which account, first installed the add-on and what level of permissions they have.
Good Luck
