Upgraded from PP2.0 to CS4, now DVDs freeze in players

My DVDs used to play perfectly in players when I used PP2.0, but now they always freeze using CS4 PP to Encore.
I tried reducing the Mbps. File: Project Settings: Advanced: Changed Mbps down to the lowest setting, to 6.0Mbps. I still get the freezing. Lowering the Mpbs in this setting did not seem to make a difference.
What is the difference between "Project Settings" and "Edit Quality Presets"? I also tried to change those, but that did not help either.
File: Edit Quality Presets: Export Settings. I Reduced these Mbps settings too, but when I check the settings in this area, it always defaults back to where it started at anyway, so I think this area does not help. Also, when I change these settings, it does not effect the "Project Settings", so this seems useless for what I am trying to achieve.
Any ideas why my DVDs now freeze in every player, and why changing the settings does not help? By the way, same computer, same DVD burner.

I still curious about this. It seems my choices of DVD quality seem to be limited to 9mbps, 8, 7, and 6 when I use "Project Settings". Seems very limited! The "Edit Quality Presets" gives the same quality choices I could get from the old PP2.0, but does not seem to apply to the quality settings for my DVD in PP-CS4 and Encore.

Upgrade from CS3 to CS4-now I have both.

I just installed the CS4 Design Standard upgrade. It asked for the CS4 Serial number and installed fine.
However, now I have 2 different copies. CS3 and 4. Can I uninstall the CS3 without damaging my new install?
AND how do I do it?

It would be best to keep both until you are familiar with the new software. then uninstall it when you don't need it anymore. If you end up wanting to use CS3 after you have uninstalled it you must uninstall CS4 to reinstall CS3 then reinstall CS4.
I have all 4 versions on my computer. They all play nice with each other.

Upgrading from CS2 to CS4

I've upgraded from CS2 to CS4 on my WindowsXP, and my question is, can i now safely remove CS2 from my program roster without impacting any of my CS4 applications?

If you're low on disk space, uninstalling CS2 will accomplish NOTHING. If you've reached this point, you need a new harrdrive.
Working with a system drive with under 20% free space is a disaster waiting to happen.

Serial # issues in Upgrading from CS to CS4

Was wondering if you need your existing serial number in order to upgrade from CS to CS4? If so, where do you find it?
As I recall, when looking into an upgrade it says they give you a new one. But I thought you needed the old one in order to be eligible for the upgrade.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

This is the feature request forum. You'll have better luck posting in the appropriate place.
But yes.. you need you previous serial number when upgrading. Generally it's located on the DVD/CD case.

Why upgrade from CS to CS4?

We have been advised to upgrade from CS to CS4 before the upgrade path closes, however this will also entail upgrading 3 x G4's in our design studio as these won't run CS4 properly. By upgrading to Mac Pro's there will also be additional software updates we need to purchase, which in turn means we will have to update on other Macs on network. All in all an expensive business. As such I would be really grateful for some feedback as to benefits of CS4 or should we just continue with existing Suite until we find we are lagging behind and then bite the bullet and be prepared to spend out even more for full CS (we will probably be on CS5 by then)? Am i just delaying the inevitable?

As previously mentioned, this question is really off topic for this forum but here are some thoughts anyway:

Sounds like you've already hit the "lagging behind" point, hence your question.
The real question here seems to be what decision(s) to make for the future of the business rather than weighing up, in isolation, whether CS4 justifies a hardware upgrade.
<neutral questions />
Do you have an ongoing hardware/software upgrade policy at your studio? or do you tend to wait until hardware dies before you upgrade?
If you're really facing the expensive upgrade chain of events that you describe then I'm inclined to suggest that you're reaching an inevitable "catch up" point where you're faced with investing a large amount at one time rather than spreading your upgrade cost (and tax write offs) over time.
If you're running dated gear and software, have you thought about doing a cost benefit analysis of what you might gain in speed and productivity by progressively rolling out staggered upgrades over time? The speed of faster rigs and productivity gains of updated software with integrated features can often outweigh the perceived savings of not investing in upgrades for a long period then having to upgrade everything at once.
How long does it take you to get projects out the door now and what might the difference be with an upgrade policy in place with allocated annual budgets for upgrades? What are your competitors running?
In short, I see this as more a "bigger picture" business decision for the future of your studio than a simple technical one based on the merits of CS4.

Getting error after administrator who upgraded from CS3 to CS4

Hi,
We have had an administrator who upgraded from CS3 to CS4.
However, any of our other users still using CS3 now get the
following error message:
“The website is being administered with a newer version
of Contribute. For more information contact this website's
administrator."
Do you know any way around this issue?
Thanks,
Greg

Hi,
No they don't have to, at least I think so. If your
administror go to the menubar: Contribute>Administer
Websites> Choose the site you wish to set the settings for. In
'Compatibility' choose 'Transition Mode' and klik OK. This should
allow the other users to keep working in their version of

I say 'should'... Read my entry in the general discussion

Can I sync my iCloud calendar with Outlook 365? I upgraded from Office 2010 and now it doesn't sync.

I upgraded from Outlook 2010, and now it doesn't update in Outlook 365. Thinking I can't do it, and it's a pity, cause I want it all to integrate on phone and on desktop. I'm running Windows 7 and Office 365. The iCloud app works fine with Internet Explorer, but I can't get the calendar to update. Any suggestions?

Can't I just set up Exchange as one of my calendars in ical?
Only if you're running Snow Leopard and your employer will allow access (different than iPhone/mobile device access, so most likely not), but not needed - keep reading.
Is it really true that I have to choose between syncing Exchange with work server OR syncing iCal with personal Macbook?
No. It was true, but with the v3.0 software that changed - you can now sync your Exchange contacts and calendar over the air, and your Address Book and iCal via iTunes over the docking cable.
What is the best work around for this?
None needed. When you set up the exchange account, and choose to turn on syncing of contacts and calendars, you will be prompted to remove all other data, or keep it on the iPhone. Choose the keep option. Note that in that case, your personal data will not be uploaded to the Exchange server - the iPhone keeps them separate (although you can choose to view them in a merged fashion).
I have this set up on my phone (Exchange calendar along side personal and other calendars from iCal). Same for contacts. Works great.

Upgrading from PS7 to CS4 - can it be done

Hi
I have looked on the forums but cant find the answer.
I have CS3 but my girlfriend is back on PS7 and wants to upgrade. Can she upgrade from PS7 to CS4 as an upgrade rather than buying the full version?
THank you for any help that can be offered

Can I upgrade from CS2 to CS4 and skip CS3?

Can I upgrade from CS2 to CS4 and skip CS3? It would save me time.

Colin,
>But I did exactly what everyone on here said they did, went onto adobe.com to do our research, saw that the upgrade works from CS2-CS4
Adobe shows there are multiple versions of the suites on their site and clearly points the way for purchasing at the Adobe Store. Just for the heck of it, I also went to MacMall.com and MacConnection.com, two well-known online resellers. I checked their Adobe CS4 upgrades, and they clearly indicate which older versions they are meant to go with. Not quite so clear from MacZone.com and a few other reseller sites I visited.
>I am an IT person for a printing company, and as such I spent hours upon hours preparing for this transition.
It took me just a few minutes to find the correct version I needed.
>no one can tell the difference, and most vendors don't know it exists. We could help you, but you didn't buy it from us."
Maybe the reseller you bought from is just sloppy and didn't mark the SKUs properly. But how is this Adobe's fault -- particularly when other vendors can and DO get it right?
Also as both Mac and Win upgrades are pretty much determined and marketed the same way, what does this sloppiness have to do with Mac market share?
But that said, there is enough good information on the Adobe site that should trigger some questions if you as the IT guy have any doubts and are responsible for buying for your company. At the least, doesn't it make sense to call Adobe and ask which SKUs you should buy? It could've saved hours of research time.
If you truly did your research and purchasing carefully and were still fooled, I suggest you start with a complaint to the reseller who sold you the goods.

Can someone assist me in upgrading from CS2 to CS4 PC version?

I have loaded the CS2 version on my PC and now I want to upgrade to CS4 master using the upgrade version. I have serial numbers for both versions but when I tried to load the CS4 upgrade, the system said it could not find the old version. I had to input the serial number of the software I was upgrading from but CS4 only gave me two version options, CS3 and CS3 upgrade. When I input the serial number of my CS2 version, the system said this is not a CS3 serial number. So I proceeded to install CS4 as a trial version thinking I can later input the CS2 serial number. Unfortunately my CS4 upgrade install ran into issues and did not install all of the main software (photoshop, illustrator, etc). I tried to reload CS4 but ran into the same errors. So now I have two issues, one is how do I get the system to take the CS2 upgrade and how do I fix the install issues so the full CS4 programs will load. Please help.

Troyboy8998 please contact our support team to verify the validity of your upgrade. For the best assistance, I recommend our chat support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6. Our chat representatives can provide a personalized experience to resolve the issue you have described.

Worth upgrading from 10.2.8, no DVD

Help - I've looked through the forums and see that the upgrade to the current OS system is worthwhile.
I tend to use the mac for some web-browsing and word-processing - so not exactly a "power" user!
However I have no DVD player. (I do have a 640 MB memory, 700 Mhz G4 processor).. system profiler is crashing again so I can't look at the rest of the spec.
Is there anywhere that I can get a cheap DVD player to do the job? And given the way I use the PC is it worth spending £100+ on the upgrade?
Thanks!

Hi Julie;
I will take your question from the other direction as to why you should upgrade your system even though you are not a power user. Having run with 10.2 and then upgrading to 10.3 and now 10.4, I have been able to see noticable performance improvements with each upgrade. I also find that Spotlight, the search program for 10.4 is a vast improvement over the search capabilities of 10.2. I also find the widgets of Dashboard to be helpful. Then there is the security fixes that the newer versions have over 10.2. All in all, there are quite a number of things that will help you with a newer version of OS X then the one you are currently running.

Upgrade from DW8 to CS4

I have recently upgraded my computer and am now using Vista instead of XP. I maintain a website (http:/wingello.rfsa.org.au) and am having a hell of a job in getting started. I found that DW8 was not going to go anywhere with Vista so have upgraded to CS4 I have transferred all the files associated with the site over to the new computer and do not really have clue on getting started again. I was quite comfortable in using DW8 but just need a bit of assistance in getting my site to work with CS4.
Can anyone help me please?
David

I too am a migration-ist coming from older Macromedia days-- Now considering DW4 Upgrade
Personally, i think it is about personal contexts, like where we have come from. Or where we want to go. The Intros and Tutorials generally assume we all come from exactly the same context. That our brain has had a very refreshed, robotic reboot. That at least we have a very dedicated digital context, is assumed.
Personally, i think most development investment goes towards high-end stuff to make the latest-greatest e-commerce websites...
Yet, i bet that there is a large number of user-buyers of web software, who want far simpler website features. Especially simple work-flows for personal contexts. (On this point- Yes there is a new breed of blog-software which is "simpler". However, it will not accept nor convert an older, existing website which includes hundreds of files. So who wants to manually rewrite a site in a new, very restrictive and very stylized manner?)
(It would be delightful, if DW could help small business people to get into e-commerce, without so many high end features. A guided step process througha plug-in might be nice, if it could adapt to differing contexts of small users.)
Example-- I did buy CS3... It was very hard to "Define A Site" ... Often, CS3 DW wants me to redine the site, which is crazy, because it usually refuses to accept the existing site on my hard drive. In my case it is the very same site originally started in Adobe Site Mill of many years ago. Each year i updated site and softwares. Very simple text, pictures and links.
I never developed the confidence to use automatic link fixing in CS3, (because of this failure to smoothly accept my HD site). There is not even a comprehensive glossary of standardized DW definitions for DW words. Therefore, how is one to be sure of manuals? Absence of contextually-defined manuals is not confidence building.
I'm considering paying for DW CS4, another post, yet. Insights appreciated.
PS- Nice fire fighters site. It appears one suggestion might be made, how to get menus to display downwards? That might be just an issue with Firefox-on Mac, here. Context

New hard drive, reinstall upgrade from CS2 to CS4 Question

Hi,
I upgraded my CS2 to CS4 Extended early this year, my hard drive just bit the dust and I have to re-install the CS4, will I have to call customer service again to get my copy of CS4 Extended activated, again?
Thanks, Charles Grubbs / futurexboy

Like you, I've completely recovered from a hard drive failure - one of two in a RAID 0 arrangement in my case. Windows Backup restored it completely, likewise without re-registration, etc. A key difference is Windows Backup runs for me late at night, in a set-it-and-forget-it fashion (my computers stay on 24/7). I don't have to boot up a separate system to run it.
But I don't doubt Image is a good product.
It's good to have good alternatives to choose from.
