Security update and Adobe CS2 Suite

there is alot being said about this but i thought i would throw this out there, as it may be helpful.
i installed security update on intel macbook pro from software update. machine is nonresponsive, can move mouse but that is all. so i did an erase and reinstall of os. everything seems peachy. repair permissions, repair disk from dvd. reboot and install update. reboot again and repair permissions. check operations, mail, safari, etc. all is well. reinstall cs2 suite and halfway through install disk 2 my machine freezes up (all except the mouse as before).
start over, exactly same steps and exactly same results. halfway through install disc 2 of cs2 suite, freeze.
i am now reinstalling os and holding off on the security updates for a while.
not sure why this is happening , any thoughts?
p.s. when answering threads it is (in my opinion) bad etiquite to proceed your response with "uh..." sounds like "man, you must be stupid"
i.e. "Uh... did you backup your data first? did you repair permissions? jeez i can't believe i am even wasting my time, why don't you know that?" etc.
that is why people come to the forums to get advice/help and to learn. not to be insulted or harassed for making a mistake.

has anyone tried to reinstall w/o the adobe version cu? i am not doing it. i have wiped my system and reinstalled the os three times in the past two days. i can say pretty safely though that ,at least in my case, adobe suite is "the" problem.
i would say terminal hangup while installing the application on a 100% clean machine twice in a row is sort of obvious what the culprit is. but, for now, i will happily live w/o the update.

Since The Security Update, my Adobe CS2 software will not function properly. Is it common with everyone?

I am having issues trying to run my adobe cs2 programs cause it says there is a disk error and will crash when I go to save something. All this occurred after I made my firmware update for the security as of tonight, and earlier in the daytime, it was functioning propperly.

Simmilar problems.Indesign CS3 crashes if I try to place anything or save. Freehand 10 crashes if I try to place, export or save as, though I have managed to save some files. It seems just about anything that accesses the disc crashes these apps now, apart from simply opening the files. Some Freehand files wo'nt even open now, crashing as soon as the app starts up. These are all documents with placed content, again necessitating more disc activity I suppose.
This has all suddenly occured since tonight's security update.
How the **** does the worlds most successful software company manage to screw up so ineptly? A while ago I suddenly lost access to most of my fonts within all my Adobe and Microsoft programs, immediately following one of Apple's security updates. I have never managed to resolve this issue. I was left with only Truetype fonts available in these programs, though the missing fonts remained available in other software, including Apple's own apps such as textedit.
I have an old Mac running old system software. It is a life saver. I don't let the internet and Apple's risky 'updates' anywhere near it. If anybody knows a better solution than using an antique machine running out of date software I'd love to know.

When I try to watch any video clip I get this:

I tried clicking on the Adobe Flash Player. It said it accepted it but it did not make a difference.
Can anyone help?
Thank you!

You haven't actually asked a question, but as stated you should only download Flash Player directy from Adobe.
Nor have you said what version of OS X and Safari you are running.
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3 or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite: New Choices for Customers

Adobe has announced the new Cloud-based model for software distribution, along with new terms for boxed product upgrade eligibility. Beginning with the CS6 releases, when they happen, upgrade pricing on boxed products will only be availble one generation back. There is a limited window to upgrade now to the current versions at a discount.
See http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2011/11/adobe-creative-cloud-and-adobe-creative-suite -new-choices-for-customers.html

Eugene:
Based on the current information we have (from the blog post), which may not be correct and which you should not rely upon:
There is some confusion about the word "discount." As used in the blog post, in general there are no "discounts" for upgrades, there is the upgrade price and there is full price. But, also in the blog post, there is a special "discount upgrade" if you choose to upgrade to CS5.5 today (prior to Dec. 31, 2011), which is 20% off the regular upgrade. However, Peter used the word "discount" to distinguish between upgrade pricing and full price. It's probably a good idea to avoid using that word there because of the potential for confusion.
I have CS5 InDesign in work. So I will be able to upgrade that to CS6 when it comes out at the discount price?
You will be able to upgrade to CS6 at upgrade pricing. Not the 20% discount, but it is "discounted" from the full price of CS6.
I'm still using CS2 Illustrator and Photoshop, for the little work I do in those programs, they're fine. But if I want to upgrade them to CS6 I have to pay the full amount of an upgrade, with no discount... or will I have to pay for CS6 in full for both of these programs?
You will have to pay the full price (not the "full amount of an upgrade," whatever that means).
If you elect to upgrade to CS5.5 prior to Dec. 31 of this year, however, then then you can pay the discounted upgrade price to upgrade to CS5.5 (well, CS5 since Photoshop CS5.5 doesn't exist), and then you can pay the CS6 upgrade price in March/April. So you can pay for no upgrades (full price) or two upgrades (one of which is 20% off).
At the moment I can upgrade CS2, photoshop and Illustrator for €240 each, to CS5. So wouldn't I just be able to do that now and then buy the CS6 upgrade at a much later date perhaps just before CS7 comes out?
Yes, you can do that.
If CS6 has the tools to basically go "File>Export>Epub" and I get a fully working epub file without having to trash about in code afterwards or make complex tagging in InDesign, then I'll be buying it.
It looks like EPUB is evolving pretty fast, so even if ID CS6 fully supports what you want out of EPUB on Day 1, I bet you'll need to be prepared to postprocess it on Day 2. Or at least long before Day 200.

Fireworks 8 crashes after installing Adobe CS2 Suite

I have been running Fireworks with no problems till I
installed the Adobe CS2 suite. Now I get the splash screen up
everytime even though I click the little box bottom left to disable
and everytime I start to key in text it crashes. I'm on a G5 (pre
intel) OSX 10.4.8
Any ideas as I use fireworks a lot and I don't want to
uninstall CS2 and go back to CS1

I'm having the same problem - I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, running the cleaner, still no joy

I have Adobe 5.0, original disk, 6.0 upgrade, original disk, and Adobe CS2. I'd like to install in my new computer with Win.8.1. Can you help?

I have Adobe 5.0, original disk, 6.0 upgrade, original disk, and Adobe CS2. I'd like to install in my new computer with Win.8.1. Can you help?

Forget about all the versions you already have (5.0 through to CS2). They will no longer work and the serial numbers are redundant.
Download the non-activation version of CS2 form the link provided by kglad and use the new non-activation serial number provided at that link. Your existing serial number(s) will no longer work.
Note: there is no guarantee that CS2 will run well on Win 8.1. Try it and see.

Probably the reboot used to log into the Guest account and then your account again fixed the problem. If often will.

Downloading Lightroom 4 and Adobe Creative Suite 5.5

I have discs for Creative Suite but the LR was downloaded originally so I don't have the disc.

I have tried removing Firefox but when I try to do that it says that I need to close firefox - but of course it is not open. I have waited a long time but nothing has happened so I am getting desperate Thanks -- Jerry

Do a clean (re)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

Tiger going crazy on iBook G4 with new security update and Safari 3

I'm running 10.4.11, 1.42GHz PPC G4 with 1.5GB of SDRAM.
So I ran software update where I noticed new Security Update and Safari update.
I tried to run the new Safari - Nothing, it's dead, no action! ( could hear hard drive but no action)
Today I tried running 'Software Update', it's spinning it's wheels, over and over again.
I'm sure Apple is working on sending me an email, as they got the skinny when the program crashed I forwarded the system message.
So a bit frustrated hear, I'm using Safari and getting to know Camino.
The Biggest frustration is that 'Mail' will not boot up so I use my internet to check mail, bummer.
So lets hope we get some info soon.

If you are operating behind a proxy server, maybe this will help.
With regards to crashes from behind a proxy server, I came up with a work around!
I have been using Automatic proxy configuration using a .pac file. That seems to be causing the error.
After inspecting the .pac file, and following the if, ifelse path, at the very bottom is a proxy address and port for unclassified connections. Mine looks like this
proxy.sun.ac.za Port :####
I have put this into my System Preferences for all connection types, manually. This is found under, System Preferences: Built-in Ethernet: Configure Manually...
Then you need to go through the box on the left and check each box. As you do so, paste the default proxy address and port in the open boxes on the right.
Hope this work around helps. My Quicktime is still not working for my older .avi files.

Security Update and It's A Non Starter =)

Hey,
Sorry ahead of time in case this makes no sense.
I attempted to upgrade yo the new Security Update, and it was optimizing the disk when it just seemed to stop. I didn't realise for a while but it was just hanging. I restarted the G4 to try and get it going again but all that's happening is the Apple logo and spinning thing! I've left it running, tried rebooting in safe mode. I've no idea where to start! Oh and to throw an extra spanner in the works, I'd a DVD in the drive and I can't get it out if I've to reinstall discs! =) uh oh..... If anyone has any advice, i'd really really appreciate it!
Thanks

Great! We are glad to hear that the problem is sorted.
Regarding your question - "What exactly was the problem with the update I dowloaded?" - here are my opinions. Most likely, there was nothing wrong with the download. The conventional wisdom, to which I subsribe, is that there is usually a pre-existing condition on the machine which manifests itself in the way that you experienced. For example, there might be some third party software on the machine which is not compatible with the update. The machine works fine before the update, but after the update, there is a software conflict and you have problems. This is certainly not the only scenario for trouble, but it is one possibility.
Should you use Software Update in the future? My opinion is yes, unless you want the software on your machine to stay at the current level. But, given your recent experience, it would be useful to take a bigger view and think about what happens if you have some other big problem in the future. For instance, a hard drive could go bad and you might have to replace it. Or, you could have another software problem, not necessarily related to an update, and need to reinstall your operating system. In these situations, what happens to your personal files? They probably will be lost unless you have instituted a backup plan. So, if this is something that you are not doing and you really would be upset if you lost a lot of data, you might give this some thought. There are some good discussions of backup strategies at Backup and recovery. You can also enter "backup" into the search box at the upper right and you will find lots of info.
Cheers,

Service Packs, Security Updates and Cumulative Updates

I would like to find a document that would help me understand and clarify Service Packs, Security Updates and Cumulative Updates versions and relationships.
Things like. Cumulative Updates include old Security Updates. Cumulative Updates do not overwrite applied Security Updates, etc.
For instance,
I am upgrading a server from: 10.0.5512 (SQL 2008 SP3, After Security Update MS12-70) To: 10.0.5861 (SQL 2008 SP3 CU17).
Would the MS12-70 (2754849) I installed still be present after installing CU17? The reason for doubt was that I saw another version of MS12-70 that includes
CU 1 to 7(KB2716435). So makes me wonder about it.
I am probably not able to explain myself right but, the idea is to find a document that can explain how the build information and versioning works.
Some how I have the idea that Cumulative updates would not include Security Updates.
Thanks beforehand

Hi,
Below will give you list of Service packs and Cumulative updates for SQL Server
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321185
http://sqlserverbuilds.blogspot.co.uk/
Security updates are for Windows not SQL Server. SQL server releases Cumulative updates after that a comprehensive service pack is released which includes all fixes that were done in Cumulative updates.
Cumulative updates fix only a certain type of problem(for which they are created) and should only be applied if facing issue
Service packs are more through and Inclusive and should be applied and contains many fixes and sometimes introduces few features as well. SP are more thoroughly tested as compared to CU For Cumulative
update from Microsoft:
We recommend that you test hotfixes before you deploy them in a production environment.
This cumulative package is intended to correct only the problems that are described in this article. Apply it only to systems that are experiencing these specific problems.
This cumulative update contains all the hotfixes and all the updates that were included with the previous SQL Server 2014 update release.
Windows patch has hardly any relation to SQL server SP and CU.
