Upgrades and Cloud Only
On another forum it was suggested that future upgrades for Photoshop will be via cloud only and that boxed versions and download versions will disappear to be replaced with a mantitory monthly subsubscription. Is there any truth to this rumor? How would this work for someone w/o reliable internet?
A boxed version will have upgrades to fix problems, but will not have upgrades to include new features that come out. They will be introduced with the next boxed (perpetual licence) version. In the past this has been about every 1.5 years.
What will happen to the perpetual licence in the future is anybodys guess. Companies perfer the monthly cloud subscription as it generates a steady stream of income, at higher rates. The enticement is you get new features as they come out. Consumers balk at the cloud subscription as once you stop the subscription you have nothing.

Our company currently has 2 licences for CS4 and we are going to upgrade them both to CS6 (physical copies). Can we still use one of the serial numbers as validation to get the discount on an extra Creative Cloud licence?
Yes this will be fine as you can qualify for the special pricing with any CS3, CS4, CS5.x & CS6 point or suite perpetual product or if you are a desktop subscription customer.

i recently upgraded the icloud control panel because it popped up and told me there was an upgrade. once the upgrade finished i opened itunes and the only songs that were there were songs that were in the cloud all my previously added music from my cds was gone. i was going to talk to apple support but they want a serial number for the apple product which i dont have because my question is for itunes on my windows laptop.

CS5 to CS6 upgrade and creative cloud pricing
I dont understand adobe's logic with pricing of upgrades compared to the cloud.
I bought the cs5 master collection upgrade from a single suit at least in part because I assumed each subsequent upgrade would be about $800. I skipped cs5.5 because it
a) it was priced as a whole version number upgrade
b) my core apps werent updated.
Now I come to upgrade to CS6 and find that I have to pay again for a single suit upgrade. There is no upgrade path from CS5 master to CS6 master. That is a rip off to start.
I also find that even paying the full price on yearly contract its far cheaper to go with the cloud over the expected lifetime of the product: over 2 years its $1200. The upgrade path I have available is around $1500.
How does that make the upgrade viable?
And finally having to post this here because there is no formal route to contact adobe sales via email. If anyone can provide one i'd be obliged.I have had Adobe software for a long long time, and I decided to drop my perpetual licenses for the Creative Cloud. I upgrade every version anyway (more or less) so it's not a big deal for me price wise.
I also use more than just the Production suite software (Acrobat and Dreamweaver) so Creative Cloud sort of consolidates all of that.
My current experience is...the Creative Cloud is a work in progress. There are still features that aren't there yet, like the Creative Cloud desktop app, and some other functionality that's all coming sometime later this summer or this year. The online storage is nice. The website hosting is nice too (although I haven't quite got it working yet).
I do have access to other programs I didn't have before like InDesign and Fireworks, so I've found those interesting to toy around with. Over the years I'd occasionally get an InDesign layout from someone and be unable to do anything with it, so that does solve a rare problem for me as well.
I'd say if you qualify for the discount pricing (which means you're either a student/teacher/edu subscriber, or own an existing CS3, CS4 or CS5 suite) then the $29/month is awesome. Just do it. If you're looking at the $49/month price, maybe not so much.
If you are only an infrequent creative type and only do video/image/print projects occasionally, go with the month-to-month plan and you don't have to worry about getting stuck on the long term, and you only pay for the software whenever you need it. -

about a month ago i signed up to the student creative cloud monthly subscription. today i have bought a new mac book and the first thing i did was install my creative cloud. after logging in and installed illustrator i realised that it had only installed the trial version. i then decided to log on online to see if there was any issues on there. after logging on and going to manage my account i discovered that according to online i have only got the free creative cloud memberhip. the reason i have an issue with this is that on Friday i received an email confirming my payment has gone through. so how come i am paying for a full student membership and then only receiving the trials? as you can iamgine i am not impressed!

Hello Pushtheriver,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iCloud storage issues:

Understanding iOS device capacity
You can sync and download many different types of content on your device. Some types of content (such as music and videos) typically take more space than others (such as notes and books). The amount of space taken by an app depends on the app's purpose; complex or graphically intense apps usually take more space than simpler apps.
If your device is near its capacity, you can remove some of the less used content to make room for more.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

Trying to upgrade to Lion on my 20" iMac that I bought in Nov. 2007. Currently I'm running on MAC OS X version 10.6.8. When I tried to buy the upgrade I got a response that Lion requires 2 GB of memory and I only have 1 GB. How can I get more memory and will my computer be compatible with Lion when I do get more memory?
Yes you can install more RAM. Up to 6 GBs. Two - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMMs. For the maximum use one 4 GB and one 2 GB. Otherwise install a pair of 2 GB modules for a total of 4 GBs.
You can purchase suitable RAM at DataMem or OWC. OWC also has video tutorials on installation. -

Should I backup iphone on itunes and cloud BOTH? Upgrading from 4 to a 5. thx
Upgraded to 5. Do I backup my 4 on iTunes AND Cloud both? Normally backup on itunes but, should I switch over to Cloud & backup as well to have backup in both? Thank you.
Coupled with Time Machine backing up the iTunes backup automatically, great. As long as iCloud doesn't have a problem, and my external disk holds up...

LR 5.5 upgrade. I only get the the 32 bit set up and an error when the 64 bit set up should be created. It says not enough disk space and no access to write. The disk space is okay and the 32 bit file was indeed created. I have Windows 7 Home edition.
Hi Rob, Thanks for your input. The temp location is on the C drive with 228 GB free space. My other drives have 123 GB and 204 GB of free space. I can see how the 32 bit set up is perfectly extracted when it stops when coming to the 64 bit set up. I have done the exercise several times and also made new downloads. I am using Norton 360 and Malwarebytes anti-malware but the dowload from Adobe should be trusted.
