Should I upgrade my computer before joining Creative Cloud?

Right now I mostly use Illustrator and Photoshop, but I'm interested in getting an Adobe membership to get access to animation (Flash in particular) and web design tools-- but I need to know if my computer can handle it.
This is what I have (purchased in 2007 or 2008 or so):
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro4,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.5 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 800 MHz
Boot ROM Version: MBP41.00C1.B03
Sudden Motion Sensor:
State: Enabled
Should I upgrade? (And if so, do you have a recommendation as to what I should upgrade to?)
Thanks!

Should I upgrade to Flash Builder from Creative Cloud ?

I'm using Flash Builder Standard 4.6 and Extension Builder 2.
Have just signed for Creative Cloud and need to know if installing the Flash Builder Premium from Creative Cloud will be a smooth process and I can continue working on my extensions without pulling out my hair
I believe the version in CC is 4.7 instead of 4.6, in this case what should I be aware of ?
Thanks

Thanks for your answer, it seems it's still problematic and without design view .
Will stay with the old version.

Hi I am just now downloading Creative Clouds :-) as an upgrade from an old Creative Suite 5.5. Before that I hade a Creative suite 3 etc. Is it necessary that I keep all these old programs etc on my computer to make Creative Clouds work or is it better that I uninstall them? Kind regards, AnnaReet

It is not necessary to retain the older installations. YOu might want to consider if you will have any need for them in terms of working with older files, but other than that you can probably uninstall them without missing them.

Lost Upgrade by joining Creative Cloud

I would like to join and use Creative Cloud. BUT, I own 2 suites, and 3 stand alone Adobe products (all of them are in the cloud). Here's my problem. Adobe has no exit strategy should I stay with Creative Cloud for 2-3 years and then decide to revert back to disk ownership. In that scenario, if I want to then upgrade my CS6 disks (what I currently own) to the latest version, I will have to pay a premium price to upgrade even though I have been paying for Creative Cloud all through those 2-3 years. I call upon Adobe to publish a policy that will allow a person exiting from Creative Cloud to allow upgrade to the newest version for the lowest upgrade price if that person was using the current version when they joined Creative Cloud. The disk version has value and should not lose value because I decide to use a new service for the same software. Until this issue is remedied, I will not consider becoming a Creative Cloud customer. Creative Cloud is perfect for the user that has never owned an Adobe product. They get the full monte for $50 per month and have nothing to lose. Those of us that have paid (and paid and paid) for licenses over the years do not want to lose that value.
Please make this a priority for the marketing team to solve.

Guess the only caveat to this request is that exit strategies for the Cloud may become a non-issue if disk-based perpetually licensed products get discontinued by Adobe and they choose to go Cloud only for all products.
That's speculation at this stage but the Cloud is Adobe's preferred distribution channel for software.
It's just a matter of when.

Since I joined creative cloud, I have not been able to sync. Why the difference? Worked good during initial trial.
Also I had installed the Mosaic app for ipad before Lightroom mobile came out and I cannot seem to get rid of it. How can I get mosaic out? I have cancelled, I have deleted, I have looked through the files for visible remnants.

The sync count is 60 and static. The total number synced so far is 500+. None have been synced from the ipad except for corrections made there on those already synced.
I have deleted the Mosaic app from all machines and checked the library folder and have contacted the Mosaic tech support and they have discontinued my subscription. I still get mosaic messages on initiating Lightroom and sometimes at closing.
I have not tried to sync fewer yet, but some catalogs that I have tried are smaller numbers. Initially, it did well on good connections. Nothing works on my home connections over satellite.

Will CC operate on OS X 10.6.8 or should I upgrade to Yosemite before I install CC?

Will CC operate on OS X 10.6.8 or should I upgrade to Yosemite before I install CC?

Current versions of CC require at least OS X 10.7 and you can bet that these requirements will jump to at least 10.9 or even 10.10 with the next version.

Should I just cancel? Please any suggestions welcome.

I have just joined creative cloud just for Photoshop but it will not download?

We cannot know. Even calling your post would be an exaggeration/ understatement, depending on how you want to see it. We need hard technical facts - operating system, computer specs, what is the exact error/ problem and so on.

Server busy issue since i joined Creative Cloud

I had Lightroom 5 and then joined creative cloud and have been having issues ever since i signed up. Every time i start lightroom i get a server busy error for hours on end.

A fix to Lightroom's “Server Busy Error” on a Windows 7 64 bit computer:
I see in the discussion threads there are a LOT of frustrated people over this Server Busy issue, so I hope this helps someone. This is what Adobe tech support had me do, which fixed my problem. I got through on the phone right away, and the fix took no longer than 20 minutes to determine, with the support person remoting into my computer.
I already had Lightroom 5.6 installed through my Creative Cloud subscription, and it had worked for a few weeks for me, although with increasing problems with the Server Busy box popping up. I was able to get rid of it by switching to Switch and Retry, but eventually it locked me out entirely.
Tech Support told me the problem was a permissions issue.
Try the following and see if it solves your problem:
In C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe, find the SL Cache folder and move it to your Desktop.
In C:\ProgramData\Adobe, find the SL Store folder and move it to your Desktop.
R Click on your Lightroom icon and “Run as Administrator”.
If it opens correctly, that shows it is working now.
Close Lightroom and reopen the application normally.

I'd like to join Creative Cloud but I live in Korea.

I excited when I heard about Creative Cloud and really wanted to join.
The problem is that service doesn't released in Korea.
Fortunetely, I have a visa credit card and available address in US.
If I join and use, Is it ilegal way to use software in Adboe License Agreement?
Thanks.

Hi there -
As long as all of your registration information is associated with a residence and credit card address in the US, you should be able to sign up for Creative Cloud in Korea. Note that this also includes creating an Adobe ID that uses your US address.
Here is a similar question answered by an Adobe employee.

How can I fix this ?

I did it by going to my old Photoshop CC Plugins folder and copying it aand then pasteing it in the Phtoshop CC 2014 folder. All mine came back and worked.

CS6 existing serial number holder. Am I eligible to join creative cloud?

Hi,
I have purchased Adobe CS6 Master collection student suit from Adobe site recently, now I am thinking to join the CREATIVE CLOUD.
I have tried to join threw the plan for the individuls - ' Existing CS Customers special offer ' button. it leads to pick a plan. I have picked and try to join - complete for cs6.
When I click this button, it leads me to the join creative cloud page. When I try to sign in their with my user name and password, Its saying you are not qualified.
I don't know why, I have a valued CS6 SERIAL NUMBER WITH ME and its already registerd.
Could you advice me to get the proper steps to join the Cloud threw the existing CS Customer offer!.
Thanks

Edu versions don't qualify for an extra discount because you already got them at a considerably lower price. If you are stil la student, use the the S&T version of CC, otherwise you will need to join CC without any further discounts.
