Problems with Adobe CS5 on 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.

Problem with Photoshop and Corrupt User Account

This morning when I attempted to save a document I was working on in Photoshop CS3, the application suddenly crashed. Since then, I have not been able to reopen Photoshop without it quitting unexpectedly within seconds of launch. Never had this happen before. I tried rebooting, resetting the PRAM, fixing disk permissions, repairing the disk, rebuilding the directory with DiskWarrior, trashing Photoshop's preference files and reinstalling the program with no change. None of the other apps on my computer seem affected, only Photoshop.
What did make a difference was creating a new user account. While logged in to the new account, Photoshop launches fine and I can work in it with no problem. I also have a Carbon Copy Cloner backup of my boot drive (which I've failed to keep up to date - it's a few months old) and Photoshop works fine from there (if I boot from the clone).
So it seems that my primary user account has become corrupted. What I'm wondering is if (1), I can "repair" my old User Account or (2), if I should move all my user files to the new User Account (and the best way to do that) or (3), if I should try and update the clone of my hard drive without transferring any of the User Account or possible OS corruption to it and then wipe my primary drive clean (after I've tested the clone) and reclone the clone back to the primary.
Thanks for reading.

Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Problem with iTunes and multiple user accounts in Windows

I am running iTunes on a PC (Windows XP) and have multiple user accounts. When I switch between user accounts and try to open iTunes, I get a message that tells me I can't open the program because another user is using it. Is it really true that I can only have iTunes open in one user account at a time on a PC with multiple user accounts ?!? If not, what am I doing wrong?

You are right, can only have one open. You have to log out of a user before logging in to another user to use iTunes. Do not use the fast user switching ability of Windows.

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.

Problems with remote control and user accounts - error 1759?

We're running:
-XP Pro SP2 clients with Zen SP1 IR3a agent, 4.91 SP2 Netware client.
-We are NOT running Middle Tier.
-Novell servers are running Netware 6.5 SP7, E-directory 8.7.3.10b or 8.8.
-Zen server is also SP1 IR3a.
We have no problem using remote control on workstation objects. We are having intermittent issues with remote controlling user objects. When the issue occurs, we receive the following error, "Error 1759: The selected user is not logged in on any workstations" even though the user is in fact logged in. After some more research, it appears that the "networkAddress" attribute of the user object is blank so we feel that this is the root cause. My question is what would cause the networkAddress attribute to randomly not update? For instance we had a user (verified his login) who we could not remote via the user object (workstation object worked). We checked his networkAddress attribute and found that it was empty. User rebooted and logged in again and his networkAddress attribute populated, and then we could remote control him via the user object. Now this isn't always the case after a reboot. There doesn't appear to be any pattern to when the networkAddress attribute does or does not update. In fact, this particular user has a laptop so he boots it up fresh every morning yet he was not showing a network address when he logged in initially today.
We've followed the troubleshooting steps in Novell Documentation without any success. Is there anything else that we might be missing, especially with respect to getting the networkAddress attribute to update? We ran a DSreport on that attribute and found about 500 out of a total of 1500 users had no networkAddress. Some of those are sure to be legitimate but that number is much too high for the number of people that should be in the office.
I've read some older threads on the subject but none of them really provide a firm solution. Also most of the older threads reference Middle Tier which we are not using.
Thanks in advance.

> 4.91 SP2 Netware client.
You could try this TID:
"A user will no longer have an entry in their "Network Address" attribute
even though they are logged into the eDirectory Tree."
http://www.novell.com/support/viewCo...1262&sliceId=1
"Resolution"
"This was fixed in the 4.91 SP3 client. NWFS.SYS was modified so that it
will check the monitor connection on a reconnect and if it is not connected
close the connection and try and get a new monitor connection to the tree.
Prior to the 4.91 SP3 client, the solution is to have the user login again
so that it issues the NDS Finish Login request again that will populate
Network Address again."

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?
