Upgrading from PSE8 to CS5, Albums, tags & mini bridge ?

Will my albums and tags from Elements 8 transfer to the mini bridge of CS5? Is there anything I can do to make this happen
or will I have to start over? Thanks!

If you find out the answer to this question, I would love to know. I have gone from PSE8 to CS5 and I am wanting to keep my albums and organizer. I am not sure how to do it in CS5.
Thanks!

Swf previews in browser and doesn't work on server after upgrade from cs3 to cs5

     I have upgraded from CS3 to CS5. My site uses a template created in dreamweaver 8. When I edit a page and embed a .swf file created in flash cs5, it doesn't work on my server, but works on my computer when I 'test in browser'. I have uploaded all the files in the 'scripts' directory. I am streaming video. I have tried using both actionscript 2.0 and 3.0 and streaming .flv and .f4v. None work.
I have a big site and do not wan't to redo my template unless I absolutely have to.

It's not 100% clear from your post, but you should be aware that CS5 plugins should not work in CS5.5. Because of a CS5.5 bug, CS5 plugins will load in InDesign 7.5.0, but that is fixed in 7.5.1 so they will not load.
You should lean a bit harder on Virginia Systems. They should be able to tell you how to get them the stack trace from the crash which they should be able to look at and tell you which plugin (if any) is responsible for the crash. I could do it for Mac OS X but I don't know how under Windows. You could start by looking at the Event Viewer, though. That may have some helpful information about the crashes and the faulting module.

Can't find this info anywhere... Can I upgrade from CS3 to CS5 or CS5.5?

After using Adobe products for years and years, it's not only my opinion but the opinion of many of my colleagues that CS upgrades are only worth it about every other upgrade. That might be a subjective opinion, but it does lead in to my question: Does anyone know if I can upgrade from CS3 to CS5 or CS5.5?? I can't find that info anywhere on Adobe's site.
Thanks!

Does anyone know if I can upgrade from CS3 to CS5 or CS5.5??
The Adobe Buying Guide clearly states that the answer for CS3 to CS5.5 is yes.
Design Premium example (other Creative Suites are the same):
http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/design/buying-guide.displayTab2.html
You won't be able to buy CS5 from Adobe (not that you'd have any reason to).

I would like to make an upgrade from creative suite cs5 to cs6 what is the price for student edition and what i have to do, i do not found in your website price

i would like to make an upgrade from creative suite cs5 to cs6 what is the price for student edition and what i have to do, i do not found in your website price

There are no upgrades for student editions. You simply buy a fresh license at the discounted price.

Upgrading from CS3 to CS5 issues

I work at a medium size College on a pretty small team, 1 editor/writer, 1 communications coordinator, and 1 designer (me). I've been using InDesign (ID) for 5 years now and we added on the InCopy (IC) workflow a few years ago with CS3 (both of us then had CS3). The editor and I just recently upgraded from CS3 to CS5 and we've hit a snag. I opened a project, the Academic Catalog in fact, in CS5 that we began in CS3 which we were almost finished with and when I tried to check out a story I got this error.
"This story needs to be converted to "InCopy Document" format in order to edit it."
The editor got the same message in IC. So I thought maybe files created by CS3 for IC don't work with CS5 so I decided to try to unlink the INCX files in ID and relink. Sure enough it created a new ICML file which the editor was able to open, edit, and save in IC. And I thought I had my problem solved until I opened the file in ID; when I tried to update the linked file ID crashed. I've tried unsuccessfully to get the updated stories from IC to update in ID w/o crashing. I've restarted the computer; it is Windows afterall. I've run 'Updates' in both our programs, and it says there are none. I've tried tossing the ID and ICML file; fortuanalty I was smart enough to do all this with a copy of the orginal CS3 file. I followed all my above steps a second time and it's still crashing. I'm not sure what to do at this point. Does anyone have any ideas? Is there a known issue like this?
btw, we're both running Windows Vista and both in CS5 (7.0).

AM
I might just have to go back to CS3 to finish this project up—fortunatly I foresaw an issue like this and kept CS3 installed. That will most likely solve the problem with this project, provided it too does not crash. And that is my concern for future 'new' projects in CS5, are those going to crash too? I think I'll do some testing with my editor.
Bob,
What type of additional info would help?
Thanks,
Colleen

I want to upgrade from Photoshop Extended CS5 to PS Extended CS6 (I do NOT want CC) but have been unable to find this at a sensible price (or sometimes at all). Help, anyone please?

I want to upgrade from Photoshop Extended CS5 to PS Extended CS6 Mac (I do NOT want CC) but have been unable to find this at a sensible price (or sometimes at all). Help, anyone please? This is in UK, btw!

What do you consider a sensible price? PS CS6 extended is available only when you purchase the CS6 Suite, which is around $1000 for the upgrade from CS5. PS 6, which is not extended, is about $200, but I'm not sure about upgrading to a single app from a suite. Adobe used to allow it, but I'm not sure about now. PS CC and Lightroom 5 combo is $9.99 a month or PS CC alone for $19.99 or the whole CC suite for $29 a month. The latest CC apps are "extended."

Upgrading from CS3 to CS5.5 Design Premium??

Hi there, I work for a small print company and we are in the process of upgrading from CS3 to CS5.5 Design premium, the company has purchased a new Mac (runs Lion 10.7), our old Mac is on 10.4 and it has run CS2 upgrade, and a few years back we installed the CS3 upgrade. We have not installed any of the creative suite onto the new Mac and I am wondering can I just buy the CS5.5 upgrade and use the CS3 upgrade serial number when installing? Will this be enough?
Or do I need to go back to the initial Creative Suite that the company brought from scratch and enter that serial number?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Just have the serial number from CS3 handy when you install.
More good news for you. Starting today if you buy CS5.5 you get a free upgrade to CS6 when it ships.

Can I remove photoshop cs2 after I have upgraded from cs2 to cs5?

Can I remove Photoshop CS2 after I have upgraded from CS2 to CS5? I upgraded from CS2 to CS5 quite a while ago and I have never removed CS2. Will it affect CS5 to remove the old CS2 if it was an upgrade?

If I were you I would just delete the installed Adobe CS2 folder. Adobe CS2 uninstaller my remove settind CS5 made to your system after CS2. The CS2 uninstaller may try to restore settings to a point in time where there was no Photoshop installed on your system. If you do a CS un-install you may need to then Install CS5 on top of itself the update cs5 for the install will not have the updates you will be back at CS5 level .

Upgrading from CS3 to CS5

I purchased Photoshop CS5 upgrade. When I enter the CS3 serial number (Adobe CS 3 Design Standard) I receive the notice that the serial number is valid, but a qualifying product cannot be found on my computer. Why is the upgrade not able to find my CS3 copy?

Thank you for your reply, Jeff. I did enter the CS5 serial number, and when prompted entered CS3, as my original, (the updating product) followed by that serial number. It was at that point I received the message that the serial number was valid, but a qualifying product cannot be found on my computer. I have read elsewhere that one cannot upgrade from a suite to an application. Have I made a 'financial error' and purchased the wrong product? Sue

Upgrading from MX2004 to CS5

I bought Master Suite CS5 a while ago and love/use many parts of it but have not yet switched to the CS5 replacement for Dreamweaver MX2004 and this is despite that older Dreamweaver tool being probably the software product I use most often and on most days for event updates etc.
As it really is time I switched and have some time now I can use to retrain myself a first numpties question - is there a way you can configure the screen layout etc., to look like, or even vagulely like, the old easy to use MX2004 screen?
I ask as I find the new (to me) screen layout in the CS5 version clunky with few of the tools I use most conveniently visible unlike, for example the excellent set in Photoshop. I am sure this question would have been asked when Adobe took over from Macromedia but I must be putting the wrong words into search as I can't find any answers on easing the path from Macromedia style Dreamweaver to the new Adobe screen layouts. The Adobe training videos don't seem to help much on this topic either but I am rewatching them again.

First of all, I think you'll get used to it. I went from MX to CS3 and it really didn't feel all that different. I generally work in "split" view. CS 5, I think, introduced an horizontal "split" view and I prefer the vertical. Under "View" you can choose a vertical split.
One thing I didn't like in the upgrade from CS3 to CS5.5 (which I use presently) is the panels for CSS styles, Files, Assets and so on are all the way over to the right hand side of one's screen. There's no real way to fix that, so I have to hide the application a little more to get to certain things. But those panels disappear when the focus is off Dreamweaver and on to something else.
Fact is, HTML and CSS code is what it is and you should be mainly focused on that. I do like hte Live View mode and the Live Code mode of CS 5.5—it is a quicker way to check my work than opening a browser (but I still do final checks in browsers). So the learning curve is not extreme.
One thing you should do is hang on to MX. MX will do inline coding styles for HTML emails and CS 3 and above won't, preferring either an inline style sheet or a separate style sheet over the inline styles you would need for an email.

Upgrading from cs3 to cs5 ext.

hello,
dec 20/2010 the adobe site had a sale on, i upgraded from cs3 to cs5 ext. i have deactivated it on the laptop that i have been using it on and want to install it on my xps710
The only problem is that when i try to activate cs5ext the dropdown menue to select the serial number that i want to use for the cs3 is not an option, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Jim
P.S, i dont remember the process that the adobe support walked me through when i installed it on my laptop, something to do w/ selecting "trial version", then something else, i cant remember.

Wasn't able to quite figure your problem, but see if this doc helps you: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/100/1008779.html

I don't think you will be able to upgrade to CS5 as it is not for sale thru Adobe. I don't think anyone outside of Adobe sells upgrades. Thru Adobe you would have to purchase a full version of CS6 (or subscribe to the CLoud)... there is no upgrade path from CS2 to CS6

Would you upgrade from Design Premium CS5 to CS5.5?

I am always weary of upgrading to mid-year releases like this because usually there are more headaches than benefits. Would I be missing out on a lot of functionality by not upgrading from Design Premium CS5 to CS5.5? I primarily use Indesign to lay-out interactive digital publications. Any advice or words of wisdom would be appreciated!
Cheers!
Steve

If you're working with epubs, definitely upgrade! Here's an article that lists the new features.

Upgrade from CS4 to CS5.5. did not go smoothly, now stuck at CS5 - how do I fix the installation?

Hi There,
I had a lot of issues upgrading from CS4 (Adobe Application Manager crashing, installer not opnening etc) but managed to get the installer to run by using the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool to remove all traces of CS4.
However, when the installer finished, it stated there were errors and now the installers won't run - nor can I run updates from the CS apps that did install.
I've normally never had any issues upgrading, so am not sure why I had so many issues and the best way forward from here - Hoping I don't have to remove all the CS5 apps, use the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool again and start from the begining.
I'm trying to install Master Collection CS5.5 on Mac OS 10.7.2
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ben

Have had to hang up as I was calling the US using a New Zealand Mobile while in Portugal (long story) - and the 11 minute wait time would've cost the same amount as the CS5.5 upgrade!
I had to call the US because:
The New Zealand support number listed on the Adobe site doesn't work
New Zealand is not listed as a country Adobe suppoprt will call back from the "Schedule a callback" page
What a joke.
I used the Adobe Support Adviser app to analyze the install error log and it provided me with a very helpful link to a support page that states "You can ignore this error and launch the products you were installing."
Unfortunately, nothing was installed.
I need to do work while a long way from home and can't use/install any CS5 apps - does anyone know how to install CS5 in Lion?
Cheers

Why am I having performance Issues with an upgrade from CS2 to CS5.5?

I am struggling hard with an upgrade from InDesign CS2 to CS5.5 (part of CS5.5 Design Standard)
There is a very slow response when trying to produce a 45 page document which needs many .jpeg images inserting, sometimes up to six on each 3-column page. While InDesign behaves sort of normally on text only pages, it slows to a virtual standstill when on the pages with images. (But this is what its for and I didn't have this problem with CS2!!)
Having read through some of the postings on this topic I have followed all the advice without success :-(
1) disable LSD in Preferences – Interface
2) disable thumbnail display in Pages
3) adjust view settings to Typical with Raster and Vector Images greyed out
4) disable Save Preview Images with Documents
5) check Links before opening documents
7) switch Preflight off
I shouldn't need to do all this should I???
I am operating with the following:
Packard Bell ixtreme M5740 64 bit
Intel Core i5 CPU [email protected]
4.0 GB RAM
ATII Radeon HD5570 graphics card 2779 MB available memory, 1024MB dedicated
plenty of free space – 274GB on c: drive and 296 GB on a D: drive
My hardware conforms to/exceeds the Indesign recommended hardware spec. Oh yes I am working on my local drive and I don't have these problems with Photoshop or Illustrator CS5.5.
Has anyone an idea about what's going on?
I've lost a good 6-8 hours so far trying to sort it out. Any help and observations will be gratefully received!

Hi Peter
Thanks - I've found that the files were marked as 'hidden' and thus by switching them on gain I was able to recreate the original location. Regrettably this has had absolutely no effect on my problem. :-(
I have now created a fresh document, studiously linking all my images properly (similar number to a DK 'Eyewitness Travel Guide') and by the time I got halfway through its 80 pages, InDesign had slowed to a crawl - ie 15-20 seconds to respond to any command. It is clearly doing something that it thinks necessary despite all the 'workarounds' people have suggested. Please please Adobe what's going on???
