Production Premium Causing Various Computer Problems

I recently installed Adobe Production Premium CS5 on my iMac.  Ever since doing so, all of my other programs (including Safari, Skype, DVD player, and various others) randomly close.  My computer randomly shuts off and logs me out, and sometimes doesn’t even make it to the desktop upon startup.  The only programs that are not currently malfunctioning are the Adobe programs.  I believe that these problems are being caused by the installation of the software.  I’ve updated my RAM and all the hardware to Adobe's recommended settings.  Is there any way I can stop this?  It’s getting really frustrating (I had to reopen Safari three times just to type this).

Bob does have a point, though. Installing and using CS3 on Win8 is going to be all sorts of trouble, regardless.

  • CS5 Production Premium causing problems with CS4 Production Premium

    I have been using CS5 Production Premium alongside CS4 Production Premium for a while now.  After Effects, PhotoShop & Illustrator work alright together (both CS4 & CS5 versions).  My job actually necessitates me keeping both versions on my machine.
    I had need to use both Premiere Pro CS4 and Encore CS4, and neither of the applications would initialize.  The following is the error message from clicking the Premiere Pro CS4 application file.
    I am uncertain what the application event log is or where it is located.
    Over on Creative Cow's site, I posted a similar message in the forums, in which a user stated that I should not have CS4 and CS5 on the same partition of my drive.
    I do have a secondary internal hard drive on which I could install one of the suites, however, I want to make sure that it is done properly and efficiently.  I have seen some issues with uninstalling CS4 after installing CS5, so I wanted to ask for help before I simply begin to rip software off my PC (since After Effects and PhotoShop - which work - actually comprise 95% of my Adobe workload).
    Any suggestions or guidance is appreciated.  Also, which version (CS4 or CS5) would be better suited on the secondary drive?
    Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

  • Why has my Creative Cloud taken over Production Premium on a second computer?

    I have Creative Cloud on my desktop computer, but Production Premium CS 6 on my main editing computer and my laptop (both on the same Production Premium license).  But the laptop popped up with a notice it was on Creative Cloud and that I needed to log in and license to proceed - which I did.  But I don't want that - I want to keep Production Premium on that computer.  Why did it switch over to Creative Cloud on my laptop, and how do I switch it back to Production Premium?

    Thanks jgruzec.  This leads to other questions and issues:
    1.  Is this a normal problem when one has both Adobe purchased software and Adobe subscription software under the same Adobe ID?  Are others seeing it?  I have not seen this described before, and if it was I missed it when I subscribed to Creative Cloud.  I did use the same Adobe ID.
    2.  I don't have any way to deactivate Production Premium on the laptop because that computer thinks it is on a Creative Cloud license.  So I can't deactivate, reinstall and do offline re-activation.
    3.  I have not used my main editing computer with Production Premium for a while as I have been working in the field with the laptop.  Can I expect that when I start using it, it will come up the same issue?
    4.  I don't know how it would work with another Adobe ID, and how one might transfer licenses to a new account.  I expect this is talking with Adobe support and working through it, but is this something others have done so that Adobe knows the issue and will be able to solve it?
    5.  Is Adobe apt to fix this problem so that customers can have both purchased software and subscription software in their main account?

  • Adobe CS5.5 Production Premium Install Errors and Other Issues

    Hi,
    I just  installed Adobe CS5.5 Production Premium on my computer and had some  errors pop up at the end of installation.  I  will paste the summary below.   I've tried to install Procction Premium a couple of times.  I've used  the Adobe Cleaner Tool.  From what I've researched, the Flash Issue  is a  a false error since Flash was already installed on the computer.   Is  the rest of it connected to the Flash issue as well?
    Thr programs all seem to work fine except for the issue below.
    My  other question is that when I am in Windows Explorer and I Right-Click  on say a .jpg file and select Open With...  I am not able to select  Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator for that matter.  I have Dreamweaver CS4  and that shows up as an option.  I have gone through the process of trying to add the  Adobe Photoshop .exe file, but it still doesn't work.  However, if I open Adobe Bridge, I am able to select Photoshop or Illustrator to open a file.  Is this  connected to my install or is there something else going on?  I did  uninstall an ancient version of Adobe Photoshop 7.0 that I've had for  years, but that was prior to installing Production Premium CS5.  Could  that have caused an issue?  I read that uninstalling an old Photoshop  can cause problems like this.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Yes, your installation errors appear to be the innocuous false errors related to the brain-dead Flash installer. If the programs seem to be working fine, don't worry about it. As far as not being able to open images with Photoshop from Windows Explorer, I recommend taking that question to the Photoshop forum.

  • Blank Install alert - install Mac os Production Premium

    Hello all,
    I have been trying like heckfire to install CS4 Production Premium on my computer. I did a clean install of the entire system (I had it installed previously, but the computer needed to be wiped and re-installed), and everytime I try to install, I can't get past the Setup window. I keep getting an alert window that says on the title bar "Installer Alert" but the window itself is blank. There is nothing to click on and I only get an alert sound when I click anywhere. I have to force quit the installer to get out of it.
    Here are my specs.
    Power Mac G5 - PowerPC ( I know that most of the programs don't run on this computer, like After Effects etc. But it will install PS, ILL and Flash, I had done it previously)
    Dual 1.8 ghz processors
    1 GB of ram
    900 MHz bus
    Mac OS X 10.4.11
    After the first few attempts, there were some Adobe files on the computer. Since I was unable to uninstall, I did a rigorous search and eliminated all the CS, CS4 and Adobe installed related files.
    I've tried to unistall (but it won't even get that far) and even tried using the CS4 cleaner script, but it says there's no Adobe software on the computer.
    thank you!
    Robert

    Solution To The Blank Install Alert:
    1. Go to http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html or www.adobe.com and in the Search Box type "clean script". Scroll through the info to find Clean Script CS3. Download the correct version for your computer Mac or Windows.
    2. If on a mac, open the .dmg file and run the Clean Script CS3. It should open a window and ask a language. Then it will ask you to accept the Terms of the agreement. When it asks you to run a level run level 2, twice. It is very important to do this twice. After you have run that twice, run Level 4 twice, even if level 4 is not listed it will run this. And again run Level 4 twice.
    * Note Clean Script CS3 is different than CS4 Clean Script and is typically better.
    3. Set up a new user and be sure to check the box for administrator abilities.
    4. Restart your computer and after it is off and starts to come back on, hold down the shift key to start it in safe mode.
    5. Log on as the new user with administrator abilities.
    6. Insert your install disk and follow the steps!
    After an hour on the phone with a very knowledgeable support guy this is the solution that worked. I did run CS4 clean Script when on the phone with a lady that disconnected me, after running this failed to fix the problem. Thanks To Adobe Support my Design Suite is up and running!
    Hope this helps.

  • Licensing CS 6 Production Premium question

    Hello all,
    I've currently installed CS 6 Production Premium on two computers, which is allowed as I've red in the licensing terms.
    Now I have setup a new computer and want to install Production premium on the new computer.
    Is it just enough to deinstall Production Premium on one computer to be legally able and install it on the new computer?
    Or do I need to deregister one of the computerinstallations on any adobe webpage before.
    Please let me know.
    Thanks in advance,
    Ed

    There is a forum specifically for licensing/installation/de-installation/transfer and all such questions ... but I do believe you need to go into the "help" menu section of your current (old) machine, and de-activate that. Then in the new machine, select activate license. You need to know the license data, I think ... hope my dim memory serves you!

  • Production Premium CS6 syncing problem with premiere to after effects. "The importer reported a generic error."

    I have CS6 Production Premium suite. I've had it and it works fine on my laptop for a couple years and just bought a new apple desktop and now when I have a project in premiere, it won't allow me to send it to After Effects. I keep getting a "The importer reported a generic error." Really need to get this problem resolved as the laptop is not as fast as it used to be, and I'm working on a short film haha.
    Thank you for your time and help.
    All the best,

  • After a computer crash, how can I re-install my CS5 Production Premium?

    My laptop is crashing, and before I do something about it I want confirmation that I can re-install my CS5 Production Premium. I need this suite for work purposes, and I don't care if I have to wipe this laptop as long as I can still get my CS5 back. I couldn't find an answer anywhere, and Adobe showed me to this forum, so here I am asking. I think it's the computer itself, and not Adobe programs causing it, however Illustrator was the first program to not open, and then Photoshop, and then my itunes, Word, picture viewer, and then it all went downhill. Now my laptop is only good for Internet, when it wants to be. Any information/insight is welcome!

    I have 64 bit windows 7 and CS4 Production Premium. I have a problem with Premiere Pro CS4, it keeps freezing and Crashing. A simple thing like leaving the project idle for about 15 minutes, you come back and find that it has frozen. Also if you drag out a clip on the timeline you will find that the whole application freezes. Any possible solutions would be much appreciated.

  • CS6 Production Premium upgrade - any problems to delete old versions?

    Am looking to upgrade to CS6 from CS5.  However the CS4 full install original is still on my PC because I read it could cause problems with CS5 to delete it.
    Have also read on these forums that all upgrades are full installs and that older versions can be uninstalled so long as I have an older version serial key number to use. 
    Also that the Adobe registry cleaner should be used after an uninstall - but the Adobe site seems to be talking about using its "CS Cleaner Tool" after uninstalling pre-release versions - not purchased upgrades.
    So Q. is can CS4 & CS5 be safely uninstalled prior to loading CS6?  (All Production Premium.)  And should the CS Cleaner Tool be used?
    Does anyone have a definite answer on this please?  Naturally want to avoid keeping old stuff on the system if possible.
    Haven't found a general forum for CS6 Production Premium.  Please redirect if not okay here. Mostly using PremierePro. 

    I don't know what Adobe's 'official' stance is on this, and I'm not an offial PR spokesperson for adobe. I'm just trying to speak honestly about my own experice as a fellow user. If you're in a position to get rid of all your old stuff and start fresh anew then running an uninstall and a cleanscript is a good idea. I can't speak with authority on that because I typically don't use cleanscripts. I either restore to a clean OS image or just use the uninstaller. But I always carry at least one system with two or more consecutive versions installed on it. Having an extra version is no more obtrusive to me than the extra's GB's it occupies and I get a lot out of it because it lets me compare current behavior to previous version(s). Perhaps I've just been lucky, but I have been running multi-version software setups for well over 10 years now and as long as I'm using the actual released software I've had no conflicts. For the record, I do occassionally encounter uninstall-install component conflicts during a dev cycle, so I acknowledge they exist, but it's almost always due to an architectural change that was intentionally made to the installer during development.
    We do extensive project upgrade and installer testing at each new release to ensure that you encounter no problems following wichever path you choose. We try not to assume that you will be running on an especially clean system, or an especially dirty one for that matter. But, there are only a relatively few of us testing these things in-house compared the thousands of users with unique scenarios that may generate problems we have not seen. I think Harm's (and others') point is that if you're in the middle of a big important project, why would you choose to upgrade software right in the middle of it and take that chance at all? I don't believe there is much risk there (assuming you're not jumping about half a dozen versions at one upgrade) but that still seems like common sense advice to me...

  • Problem installing Production Premium CS6

    Hi.
    Today I purchased the upgrade to Production Premium CS6 from CS5.5.
    I uninstalled CS5.5 using the Abobe Installer Software and then attempted to install CS6.
    When completed the Application Manager stated that After Effects, Photoshop and Illustrator could not be installed.
