Security is there any time when Adobe would write and request my Social security number to verify an account?

A friend of mine had a problem with his Adobe CC account id info.  In conversation with Adobe they asked to verify his home address.  He got confused and gave them an old home address, they did verify the account anyway, but shortly after he received an email from Adobe asking him to provide his government issued id number...I believe that is UK for social security number.  Anyone know how we can confirm if this was a legitimate request from Adobe?

Adobe has no need for that information, and you should never share it if in question. He may have talked with someone who was posing as Adobe. How did he converse with Adobe?

  • Are there any issues with Adobe Photoshop CS5 and OS X Yosemite 10.10?

    Are there any known issues with Adobe Photoshop CS5 and OS X Yosemite 10.10? I heard I would need an older Java version to start it.

    You'll need to reinstall Photoshop CS5 after installing the MacOS 10.10 update -- for some reason the OS updater stomps on some of the Photoshop files.

  • Is there any software in Adobe Creative Cloud which will let me generate barcodes?

    Hi
    Is there any software in Adobe Creative Cloud which will let me generate barcodes?

    - Do I have 40 10-second clips each with 1.9 GB of unwanted video behind it??
    Not to worry. When we Copy and Paste within a project, iMovie HD creates a new clip thumbnail for the Timeline/Clips pane, then simply adds a new pointer to the source video. The source material is not duplicated.
    When you Copy a clip and Paste a clip to a DIFFERENT project then Yes, the clip's entire source video file is duplicated. (When Copying between projects, be sure to Copy and Paste all the clips together so iMovie duplicates the source files just one time.)
    Next time, you might consider setting your iMovie 6 preferences to limit the length of imported clips to 3 minutes — or whatever duration you want. Then each imported clip will have its own source file. When you discard an entire clip its file will be discarded too, shrinking the size of the project.
    If you have no need to preserve the clips as clips you could export the project to a Full Quality movie that you import to a new project. Everything will arrive as a single clip, which may be okay here. Then discard your old project. The project will be smaller, containing just the stuff on the Timeline.
    If the Timeline contains most of the source material — just split into small clips — there may not be a lot of "extra" material in the project. To get an estimate of how large the Timeline really is, open the "Timeline Movie.mov" that's inside the Cache folder of the project in QuickTime Player. QT Player's Show Movie Info window will show the size of the material it represents.

  • Ok so I cant open my Itunes due to Windows Error 2 and the message says to uninstall and re-install Itunes but I'm pretty sure that would wipe the library right? Is there any way to fix the problem and keep my library?

    Ok so I cant open my Itunes due to Windows Error 2 and the message says to uninstall and re-install Itunes but I'm pretty sure that would wipe the library right? Is there any way to fix the problem and keep my library?

    Hi neffn!
    I have an article for you that can help you go through that process of uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. If you have Windows 7, you will want to see this article:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    and if you are using Windows XP, you will want to reference this article:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
    Note that, as it says in those articles:
    iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • I have CS5 design premium student and teacher edition, have never been able to receive any updates. And cannot find cetain features like Content Aware, Adobe Watermarks etc...Is there any way I can add these and other features

    I have never been able to receive any updates. And cannot find cetain features like Content Aware, Adobe Watermarks etc...Is there any way I can add these and other features unavailable to me? Or do I have to upgrade the version I have? If so, how much would that be?

    The only "content aware" feature in CS5 is the fill, so you are not missing anything with the updates because nothing more is there. And I honestly don't know what you mean by "Adobe watermarks" there is no such thing, but there is a series of scripts for such stuff.

  • Any idea when adobe air for mobiles is coming out?

    Hi,
    Any idea when adobe air for mobiles is coming out and on what phones will it be available?
    Thanks,
    Gaurav

    Sorry, only Apple will know that, Rob; and even if we knew, nobody would be allowed to post it here, before the raw support has been released.
    Keep checking this link.  Apple - Aperture - Technical Specifications - RAW Support
    I'm waiting for the Aperture update so I can start playing with my pics.
    I can understand, that you are eager to try your new camera - try Adobe's DNG converter, while you are waiting - http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Macintos h
    or shoot rwa&jpeg and set the Import panel to import raw&jpeg, with the jpeg as original. YOu can change that later, when the raw support has been released, and use the raw files you imported.
    Regards

    Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
    Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
    I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
    Thanks for the advice, Bee
