Question for Anyone Using CS4 Production Premium with Windows 7

I'm testing Windows 7 at home with CS3 Production Premium and have not had any issues. Of course CS4 is quite a bit different.
Anyone using CS4 Production Premium on Windows 7 regularly? Any issues to report?
Thanks

Thanks for replying to my post:

On our systems at work that have XP and Vista + CS4 Production Premium. I've noticed this with preview files in particular and possibly some others, I don't remember. The "show only exact file" checkbox is greyed out. This is somewhat annoying because projects can have a huge number of preview files with long cryptic names making it a pain to locate the correct one manually to get the ball rolling. If I don't think it'll take too long to re-render, I just select "skip preview files".
We bought 3 licenses for Windows 7 and I'm encouraged by the performance, reliability and features on my home test system (RC 64) that has CS3 installed. Can't wait to get rid of XP and Vista.

Yes Beta And RC. It works the same as Vista, with probably some enhancements. Didn't have any issues, but I did not try wireless.

Anyone install CS4 Design Premium on Windows 7 Professional?

I presently have CS4 installed on Microsoft Vista Ultimate SP2 32-bit o/s using a Intel i7-920 processor . Runs cleanly with no problems whatsoever. I am in the process of upgrading the o/s over to Microsoft Windows 7 Professional but risk de-activating my CS4 I thought I would throw this question out to the readership. I am fortunate enough in obtaining this new o/s prior release and have been tasked to see if all our mission critical applications migrate over cleanly. Sad to say deactivating, re-installing CS3/CS4 can be a nightmare (ask me how I know!) so risk taking down a good CS4 install using Vista down it it's knees I thought I would ask. Has anyone by chance tested installing CS4 Design Premium on any of the new Microsoft 7 o/s' ?

I think I found a solution to running CS4 on Windows 7 (pro 64 bit in my case). There were a few variables I eliminated so I'm not sure exactly which one was key. I am part of an office domain with permissions etc in effect, and that may have been part of the issue. Basically the installer would run but hang around 40% when it was installing "language packs" or "device central" components. It would not generate an adobe error, rather just the usual "program is not responding" error in win 7. If you don't understand my steps, just google the details and you should find methods for each instruction.
What I did:
1. Locate and run the clean script for CS3/4/5 from adobe to remove ALL installation files.
2. Turn off User Account Control in win 7 users settings in control panel.
3. Make sure you find your C:\users\public\documents (calls itself "public documents" in the file browser) and edit the permissions for that folder. Give full control to any user in the list just to be safe.
4. If you are using the downloadable installation as I did, allow the files to unpack onto your desktop as default by the adobe unzipper program.
5. Completely remove ANY antivirus/antispam software and make sure windows defender etc etc is not running. Also turn off windows firewall.
6. Reboot your computer and ensure NO adobe products are listed in the programs and features list under control panel. If there are, remove & reboot again.
7. BEFORE BOOTING: unplug from the network, turn off all wireless so that your computer is completely isolated.
8. Run the installation again, and hopefully it will work for you as It finally did for me after 6 hours of troubleshooting and reading these #*$*# forums.

CS4 Production Premium and Windows 7 Professional

After having installed CS4 on a new Computer with Windows 7 Professional and activating it Premiere doesn't work with HDTV matrial and Encore and Affter effects produce system crashes. Has anybody experience with ths sort of problem

The problem is solved meanwhile. It had to do with an incomplete activation of the CS4 software and had nothing to do with Windows 7. Now that this problem is solved everything works fine !
Thanks a lot for your comments.

Question for anyone using Modul8 2.5.8 with QuickTime 7.6?

Like the title says, please answer only if you're using Modul8 with the new version of QuickTime. There is no place for speculation, no matter how well informed, in this thread.
I've got a gig on Saturday night and I don't want to risk any degradation in performance necessitating an "archive and install" between now and then. On the other hand, if the improved Motion JPEG performance mentioned in the release notes is reflected in Modul8, then I'm all over it!

There is room for speculation, since others who might read this could benefit from it.
If you're in dire need of the system to work during your gig, and it's working now, then dont update to 7.6 until after the event this weekend. This goes for any update, and not just quicktime.

Questions for anyone using this forum

is this forum only for people who have problems with apple stuff to go and complain so that we feel better, because i've posted numerous questions on this and other forums, non have gotten replies. i really feel as though this is only a place where people can go to vent some frustration with things. i'm not even sure if there's a guy (or team,which there should be,) out there just looking at these questions and trying as best as they can. now i understand if its only a group of like ten gpeople there to help us because there has got to be at least a million people, if not more, out here sing mac products and experienceing problems. i just want to know if its really that hard to get a little responce about things. we have problems, we come here for answers because thats where apple tells us the answers are.
now my latest question may not be able to be answered by an apple tech, but, where is the best place to hock an iPod for $$$. mine is dead and will not come back to life. i want to get another iPod but its not in my budget unless i can sell my current dead iPod to put a down payment on a new one. so if theres anyone out there with an answer, please respond, otherwise its like talking to a wall.
Windows XP Pro 20 gb iPod photo

No, this is definately not a place just to complain so you can feel better. These are user-to-user support forums. Nobody here works for Apple (other than an occasional moderator). We're just users like you who enjoy helping others.
I haven't seen your other posts, but usually if a post goes a while without a response, it's because the post either doesn't provide enough information, or is just a rant and doesn't ask a specific question. Post a detailed description of your problem without ranting about it and you will be very likely to receive help.
If your iPod is dead, you can either sell it on ebay or somewhere (people will buy non-functioning iPods), or take it to an Apple store and give it to them and receive 10% off a new iPod.
Cheers!

I have a question for anyone that can help me with ACER mini laptop!!

I am thinking of buying this laptop, i really just need it for internet, storing photos, and simple tasks...I dont really need a whole lot of bells and whistles. I would like to be able to watch movies on it when i'm traveling, and i'm assuming i would have to buy a attachable DVD drive for it correct? If anyone has this computer, or knows anything about it I would appreciate a response before I decide to buy it
Thank you in advance.

I have a 9" Aspire One and love it, although I wish I'd known about the 10" one coming out, it's less than what I paid for my 9" in December! (I also have a fullsized laptop for gaming and such, but many times I just bring the tiny AAO along - superportable and great battery life)
As previously mentioned, you can't legally save DVDs to the hard drive of a computer to watch on a plane (or whatever) even if you own the DVD. No real technical barriers, but it is not legal.
I do routinely take TV recordings from my MythTV (Computer-based PVR, kind of like TiVo on steroids) system and recompress them with Handbrake (http://handbrake.fr/) for my Aspire One. Recompressing broadcast TV recordings is legal.
FYI - The netbooks Best Buy sells are usually the same price as from other sources but frequently include a smaller 3-cell battery instead of a 6-cell battery, a fact which is not mentioned on Best Buy's online ordering systems, or at least wasn't a few weeks ago.
*disclaimer* I am not now, nor have I ever been, an employee of Best Buy, Geek Squad, nor of any of their affiliate, parent, or subsidiary companies.

Question for anyone using WebEdit

We recently have turned on this feature and are seeing sporadic problems where the application opens however the document fails to display. In its place we are presented with a garbled version of our portal login screen - as though there were a gateway/security type of issue.
A PTSPY recently revealed that the user didn't have appropriate permission to a 202 object. After guessing which class that would be it seems most likely that this is either our Collab Remote Server or our Collab Crawler. Both of these are set with the everyone group to have READ access.
If you use Collab's WebEdit could you check your security on both of these objects and see if you have it raised to SELECT for your everyone group. I can't fathom that it would be needed to be set any higher than that. Or if you have any other guidance I'd be thrilled to hear it!

Geoffgarcia,
In our installation the Collaboration Remote Server and Collab Crawler the Everyone group has select permissions on them. However I suspect the issue isn't with either of these objects, but the Checked In Property. It is object 202. Check to see if it is set to select. Hope it helps!

Does CS4 Production Premium Come With ScreenCasting Software?

I currently own CS4 Production Premium and I need to record some desktop sessions for a video tutorial.
Before I go out and buy something I figured I should check to make sure it's not a feature of one of the dozens of applications that came with CS4.
I didn't see anything that stood out. But I've overlooked built in features before.
Anyone know?

I apologize for the miscommunication on our part.
Story Plus is not included with Production Premium CS6. What is shown in the video (creating a script, exporting as ASTX and importing it in PPro CS6) can be accomplished using Adobe Story Free. You just need to create an Adobe ID at http://story.adobe.com/ and start writing.

Can I continue to use AA 1.5 if I get CS4 Production Premium?

I bought the CS4 Production Premium to use Premiere and Photoshop. CS4 comes with Soundbooth. I have no desire whatsoever to use SB. I've used AA for years and want to continue. But can I do that? Or will CS4 force me to update AA?
I've been thinking of upgrading, but I have no real need for it. Perhaps this will force me to... another question: if AA 1.5 will not work, (hopefully it does) surely AA 3 will, right?
Thanks.

Fortunately for you, the answer is all good news. All versions of Audition can co-exist with each other, and no version of CS will interfere with them either. It's true that later versions will interface better with CS, but AFAIK there's nothing to stop you working the way you are at present if you install a new CS version. Soundbooth is certainly intended to interface with CS rather more intimately, I believe, but if you are happy with AA1.5, then there's no reason why you shouldn't continue to use it.

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.

CS4 Production Premium (Student) with Windows 7

Hi,
I've just bought a new laptop which comes with Windows 7. I'm looking to get CS4 Production Premium ASAP because I have a lot of work to do over Christmas. Everywhere I have looked for it (Amazon, Studica Lambda Tek) they seem to suggest it is only compatible with XP and Vista. Is this the case? I thought the student suites were exactly the same other than their rules on commercial use but is it possible that the new versions of the normal suites are compatible with Windows 7 but they haven't updated the student ones?
Thanks,
Peter.

There is no update on the CS4 for Windows 7 compatibility. All versions are Windows 7-compatible.

'Genius' related question for anyone with over 1.2TB of music?

Anyone out there with a iTunes library with over 1.2TB of music?
Reason I ask, is that I've not been able to solve a problem in updating Genuis - I'm getting the error - 'Genius results can't be updated right now. There is not enough memory available ~ Please try again later.' or the 'unknown 4002 error'. The steps I've taken to try and correct sometime back can be found in https://discussions.apple.com/message/12584815#12584815 and also shown here in sequence below.
I keep thinking this will be fixed with the next version iTunes but so far with the latest, things still the same. So looking to see if anyone with a similar size library is having similar problems and it just a limitation of the program or it's something specific on my end that I can fix.
Appreciate...
Up to this weekend I've had not issues with Genius. Worked beautifully and updated last Sunday as I have been doing every week since Apple added Genius. Yesterday I added a few albums and went to update and now getting the error of 'Genius results can't be updated right now. There is not enough memory available ~ Please try again later.' Now my library is well over >200,000 songs and only added 6 albums this time. Music sits on a external 2TB drive ~100GB free and my MacBook Pro has over 60GB open. Running latest Mac OSX and latest iTunes. Nothing new installed or changed since last Genius update.
To the points raised in this thread.
1. I've been updated weekly with a Library with over 200K songs till now with no problem. Majority is what I've ripped from my albums & CDs.
2. Deleted the albums recently added since last successful update - same result.
3. Connected directly to the network bypassing router as suggested here - same result.
4. Reinstalled iTunes program - same result.
5. Repaired permissions - same result.
Problem remains. Welcome any additional thoughts.
Question for anyone with a music library
https://discussions.apple.com/message/12584815#12584815
Ok, tried all the suggestions here yet the problem remains.
In addition what I posted above -
1) Dumped the cookies in user/library/cookies folder
2) Deleted the apple cookies found under Safari Preferences "Show Cookies"
3) Repaired disk permissions
4) Deleted iTunes Library Genius.itdb file
5) Reinstalled iTunes (with the new 10.1 version)
6) Restarted computer
7) Rebuilt iTunes Library folder http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
8) Deleted all iTunes dead tracks
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=removedeadsuper
9) Increased internet access speed
10) Removed all open "[" and '}' brackets from songs, albums & artists
10) Rebuilt my entire library from scratch!
Is there anyone out there with over 200K songs that can update their Genius? One thing I noted is the genuis.itdb file is just over 2GB. I'm wondering if there is a maximum size on this based on the error I'm getting. Any thought or know info on this?
Ok, think I may have found something here with this. I backed out all the music added prior to this problem occurring and ran the Genius update. All worked fine. I then started adding the music back little by little (running the update each time) until the problem returned. When the problem came back I ruled out the specific music added by backing that bit out, verified all was ok and added a different batch back in.
Bottom-line it appears that when my library exceeds exactly 1.208TB the problem appears. Interestingly enough it does not appear to be related to the number of songs, the size of the genius.itdb file (in fact when it was working the file was at 2.25GB - larger than what I reported before). It specifically seems to be related to the size of the overall library - when I have it for example at 1.2079 all is ok, 1.2081 it fails with this error.
I did try moving the library and related files to the external drive but same result. abavetta, I think your suggestion of this script may be a workaround for now - although from what I read, is this not the same that you can do anyway with iTunes by holding the alt/option key open start up? In fact I do have two libraries now - one with the 2TB drive which I use at home and another for 2x500GB disks I carry with me when i travel. I just reported the same back to Apple but doubt if any immediate solution will come for this. Too bad as one of the great things about having such a large library is the mixes you can generate via Genius. Anyway, such is life and will just live with this for now. I also just found this program called Tangerine! http://www.potionfactory.com/tangerine/ which creates playlists like Genius - although through a different technique I might also take a look at.

Just to let all know that may be having a similar problem, what I found by accident to fix this problem.
Reset all my Home Folder permissions using the resetpassword method from the startup utility in Lion. Then turned off/on to reset Genius and cleaned out the cache folder for good measure. Finally after more than a year without, have Genius up and running again.

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.

I was advised to purchase dazzle video creator to move analog videos from an old sony camcorder to a mac. I have purchased the dazzle and the specs seem to be for windows only. Has anyone used this product on mac?

I am not certain, but I believe there is a version of Dazzle for the Mac. However, it is not the route I would chose.
You really need a proper analogue to digital converter, like the ADVC110, to connect to your camera via the usual RCA cables, and to your Mac via firewire.
