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 If anybody knows a better solution than using an antique machine running out of date software I'd love to know.

  • Why is it that Adobe CS2 software will not work with Mac OS Mountain Lion? What do I do?

    Why is it that I must pay more money to upgrade my Adobe software so that it will work with Apple Mac OS Mountain Lion. Is it that Adobe wants to wring every cent out of me in order for me to use there products? Or should I just delete the Adobe software from my system and forget about Adobe and find something else?

    Waynjer61 please see the system requirements for Creative Suite 2 listed at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1195856. 
    The largest issue which is preventing you from utilizing Creative Suite 2 on your current computer is the switch which was made from PowerPC processors to Intel processors.  This coupled with Apple dropping Rosetta support, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_(software), which previously allowed Intel processors to utilize applications coded for PowerPC processors is the main cause of Creative Suite 2 no longer functioning under newer operating systems.

  • Just installed security update 2014-002, now Itunes will not open. Have rstrated but no change, need help to fix, please

    Just installed security update 2014-002, now Itunes will not open, I have rebooted twice with no effect, I don't know what else to do to get my itunes back. Need help please

    Believe I've firxed my problem, at least, ITunes is now working again. I followed the information provided from a couple of posts on this thread, (1) re restarting with command-s held down; did it twice, made no differerence; (2) manually re-installed the Security update; no difference; each time restarting, no effect; (3) shutdown the computer; I did for 35 minutes, upon restart, ITunes is back to normal, seems to be working fine. Turning the computer off must clear the cache?

  • I am trying to install the latest update for HP Printers, it will not completely install ,now my printers won't work. Help!

    I am trying to install the latest update for HP Printers, it will not completely install ,now my printers won't work. Help!

    Hello Carolyn -  Thank you for your quick response to my concerns, I had already gone to the HP support site and tried to get the latest HP drivers, the site said for Lion 10.7 there was NA version.  So, I just used my time machine to replaced the OS from that time spot. I got my printers working again, so all right with the printer.  But, the fact remains that I still keep getting the New Update HP Printer in the software update window.  But, what happens if I try to download and install it is this:  It starts the download, everything seems to come down fine, it starts write the files and then starts moving items into place, the blue bar fills to all most the end and slows down to a stop and never completes the installation.  I have left my laptop on over night and it never finishes the operation.  I can only force quit the software update.  Which has knock out my printer drivers.  Now, I just keep unchecking the box in the software updates for new HP printer software. Is anyone else having this problem or is it just my system?  Sincerely: Professor G

  • After downloading the lastest update, IOS 6, my iphone will not download apps.

    after downloading the lastest update, IOS 6, my iphone will not download apps. help

    I'm having the same problems. Can't even find out if Apple is working on it. Tried to downgrade but is not supported by apple so error 3194 comes up which is verifying with the apple web site. Which then stops everything. I understand you can modify the "hosts" file to by pass the issue, but hate doing that as it gets involved. May try it if I can't get any satisfaction from apple.

  • After accepting the carrier update yesterday my iPhone 5s will not receive emails via my work Exchange system.

    After accepting the carrier update yesterday my iPhone 5s will not receive emails via my work Exchange system.  I can send emails, but can not receive.  I deleted my account and added it back with the directed provided by our Corporate IT, but I still can't receive emails.  I've hard booted and soft booted my phone several times to no avail.  What else can I do to help remedy this situation?

    I don't have any other email accounts on my phone and I don't get any type of error message.  It just says "Checking for Mail" and I receive nothing, so I know that it is accessing my work email system.  I haven't made any changes to my account.  I only accepted the message to update my carrier system.....I do have an appointment with the local Verizon store to see if they can help.
    Just FYI, my Exchange email account still works on my iPad, so I'm pretty sure the settings are correct.

    That would be the indication of Recovery Mode. You can try instructions from this support document. If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If you attempt it a couple of times and it does not complete, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple Store, or Apple Service Provider to check for hardware problems.

  • 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.

  • IWeb won't publish since the Security Update 2010-001

    Hi all,
    I see the Security Update has caused several problems across the board. So far, I've not seen anything related to iWeb. Since the upgrade, I've not been able to publish my iWeb sites to MobileMe. It keeps asking me to sign in, but I already AM signed in. IS this a glitch in the Security update? My wireless internet didn't want to connect either, but it finally worked itself out.
    Has anyone else had this problem, if so, is there a work around?
    Thanks!

    Thanks, Mr. Toad
    I tried it again earlier, and it worked finally--allowed me to publish my pages. Then, I noticed where I'd forgotten a coma on my text, so I corrected it and tried to republish again. Once again, it asked me to sign in. I tried your method of disk utility, signing out, and entering in bogus info. (Didn't think of the bogus info part). Still not publishing.
    I'm gonna just shut her down, and see what happens tomorrow.
    Thanks again, though!
    Lisa

  • Since installing Lion, I have not been able to utilize Time Machine (does not recognize the back-up drive); my wireless mouse does not function properly; I have experienced unreasonable delays in the system.  Is there a fix or upgrade coming?

    Is there a fix or upgrade to deal with the many problems I am experiencing since I installed Lion?  I can no longer utilize Time Machine (Does not see the back-up drive); my wireless mouse does not work properly; my iMac has slowed down considerably.  I am reminded of having a PC machine again.  Bummer!

    Either downgrade to Snow Leopard or try reinstalling Lion.
    Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

  • Anyone else having trouble with flash player over working the processor since the security update?

    Hi everyone-
    Since the last security update (flash player version 11.7.700.169) I have been having trouble with flash player beating the daylights out of my processor. My OS is Windows XP. This only happens on some sites, not all. For example netflix and amazon are fine, but acorn and huffington post videos send the processor into overdrive. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance :-)

    I have XP on some machines, and I do not experience any such problems with 11.7.700.179.  If I were, I would try two things
