Vista and CS3 - Summary of issues found so far

After working with CS3 for a couple of weeks, here is a summary of definite problems I have run into:
1) Memory leakage: The CS3 apps fragment memory at a fast clip. After a couple of hours of normal production work with PS, IA and ID I can recover more than 500MB of RAM using a memory defragger. (The record so far is 856MB.) Workaround is to shut down the apps and run the defragger every two to three hours.
2) Bridge interacts with PS, ID and IA in some unknown way to hang vector copy/paste. Copying a path to the clipboard in InDesign, Photoshop or Illustrator hangs the app until Bridge is closed. There is no problem if Bridge is not running. Workaround is to either keep Bridge shut down or close it if you run into a hang. The problem does NOT manifest copying text or pixel data, as far as I can tell; only vectors. It also only seems to affect clipboard copying. Alt-drag copying is not affected.
3) The "Recent" function in Explorer is not accessible from the Adobe dialog in any of the apps, which is unfortunate as it's extremely useful. Currently I flip back and forth between the Adobe dialog and the OS dialog, according to whether I need the thumbnails or want to navigate to a recently used folder.
4) Favorites in Bridge do not show up in the Adobe dialog in any of the suite apps, a serious omission from the CS2 version. I don't know if this is a bug or a deleted feature. (If the latter: shame on somebody!)
5) Accessing a Version Cue project requires Bridge to be running. InDesign will crash hang when opening a Recent File that is in a Version Cue project if Bridge CS3 is not running.
The only other comment I can throw in here is that the faster load time promoted for Photoshop CS3 doesn't seem to manifest in a Vista environment. There may be a marginal improvement, but it's not significant. Illustrator remains very slow to load and to close, although it is much, much nicer to work with than earlier versions and does run faster.
I'm posting this for general info and in hopes it helps the engineering folks track down the bugs. The memory leakage and vector copy issues are surprising. The seem very large to have slipped through beta testing undetected.

those with problems
try the silent deployment technique
finally got the silent install working
and design premium cs3 is now installed!!!
used application.xml.override
deploymentFile used was the install.xml included in the dvd's adobe cs3\deployment directory
the commandline wENT--
E:\Adobe cs3>setup.exe --mode=silent --deploymentFile="e:\adobe cs3\deployment\install.xml"
E:\Adobe cs3>Begin adobe setup
UI mode : silent
End adobe setup. Exit code: 0
E:\Adobe cs3>
the laterlines took the time but for good
and got exit code: 0 which means all merry- no errors occured during install
seems giving the complete path (not relative) to deploymentFile did the trick . earlier the setup had exited with exit code: 7
but GUI install still doesnt work on my vista
"so is it a problem of the installer GUI alone?"
and trying to uninstall cs3 from the add/remove progs bring up cs3 setup only to be followed immediately by "this program stopped working" vista message.
so a silent uninstall may be the option ...if i need it
thanks adobe for this deployment technique
thnx for the wonderful products
thanx for all the installer trouble
thanx for the 10 hours ill spent

TS3591 iphone 5 and Windows Vista, and itunes audio synch issues

the new itunes is not synching my music to my iphone 5. I have windows Vista. Upon synching itunes crashes the phone and forces a restore. Any one else have this problem?

Same exact problem with my iPhone 4. I have reinstalled iTunes hoping it would do the trick and it didn't. :\

Cisco NCS configuration backup and restore of WLC issues found

Hi,
I recently tested the process for a customer of defaulting a Cisco WLC to factory configuration and then restoring the configuration from Cisco NCS. It was not seamless to say the least and I wonder if I have just gone about it the wrong way.
Have have set the NCS platform to configuration sync with the 5508 controllers at 04:00 every day and prior to the controller defaulting I ensured that NCS also reported that the config was in sync.
I have also set NCS to complete a tftp backup of the controller every night 23:00 - interestingly though I have no idea where this is stored on the NCS platform ( a VM appliance ) or what it's filename is.
Anyway my experiences where as follows:-
1. defaulted WLC and via serial CLI ended up at the configuration wizard.
2. Set the correct LAG, management IP, hostname that NCS knew this controller by.
3. To test things just created a dummy WLAN ( SSID ) as I assumed this would be overwritten ( big mistake ! ).
At this point I connected the controller to the network and tried to restore the configuration from the config sync version.
First problem - you have to remember to set up the SNMP community string you were using as it is needed by the configuration sync process. After adding this to the controller I could push the configuration to the controller.
Second problem - failed to add the first WLAN from the backup as I have added the temporary dummy WLAN via the wizard and NCS reported a conflict. So had to delete WLAN ID 1 from the WLC GUI directly and then the config push no longer reported this error.
Third problem - for some reason did not add the TACACS server details - reported the error that it could not added them. I manually added these via a template via NCS and all was well.
Fourth problem - all but the first WLAN was in the disabled state - had to re-enable all of the WLANs
Fifth problem - any default items I had disabled or removed have not been saved - therefore I have removed the public and private SNMP communities - but these were still on the WLC after the restore. I have disabled unused ports not in the LAG as they show an error in NCS - these where not disabled after the restore.
So all in all not a very satisfactory restore process from NCS to an defaulted WLC ( ment to simulate to the customer what would be needed if they had to replace a controller due to hardware failure ).
So - anybody like to comment on what I did wrong - is there a different / better way of achieving this ??
Regards
Robert

Hello Robert,
all the tasks you did seem to be fine for me.
I was also wondering the process os restoring from NCS controller configuration backups ...
If anyone else could give another method with less drawbacks, that would be appreciated, but i doubt about it.

Guillaume.

Why does it seem like Apple uses support communities to find work-arounds, and not fix the issues found here?

The problem with iTunes clipping last 15-20 seconds of song playback to jump to next song has been a problem listed since 2009, and the only solutions are from community users. No official replies at all from Apple. Why is that? I'm currently having this problem with my iPad2 and latest IOS, with no idea what is causing the problem. They haven't even looked to a fix it seems

Due to phenomenal development in Windows, Microsoft released 4 generations of operating systems, succeeding Windows XP. Hence, on various aspects, Windows XP becomes too old to be used practically these days. So the support was pulled out.
I do agree that Windows XP is the most successful operating system ever, so far. But, later versions added more features, enhanced security and compatibility. Moreover, at this point, Windows XP becomes more vulnerable, although security patches are made.
Ultimately, we need to move to a more secure, feature-rich and highly compatible operating system.
With improved features in newer versions of Windows, the NTFS filesystem has also been improved, adding new features. Hence, certain feaures that are not availble in Windows XP are available in Windows 7, again, in Windows 8.1. So is the disk management
features.
As for Acronis Disk Director, it's a third party software and hence we can't comment on the features/its working.

IOS 4 broken on 3GS - Summary of issues noted so far.

Hi;
Some of these items duplicate items others have posted, but I'll go into what I can see in detail. Everything below relates to iOS 4.
- Battery Life.
* Does not appear to be impacted by iOS 4 -- there's a software issue with this iOS release that I see. iOS continues "rapid charging" the 3GS battery and never gives it a full charge. The result is a phone that says 100% when charged, but rapidly drops to approx 65% where the battery appears to stabilize.
- Wake up
* iOS 4 has significant issues waking up when the home button is pressed. It may wake and sleep the phone again almost instantly. Sometimes it takes over a minute to wake the phone.
- Touch screen. On wake -or even when in use- the touch screen can be unresponsive to any input.
- Touch screen during input. Screen may take forever to respond to any input eg: text typing in Notes or Mail.
- Improper mail handling. Using GMail, a "reply" to a mail can result in a frozen handset. Using the home button to escape this freeze works, but now my gmail inbox has a piece of zero-byte mail. No sender, subject or content, dated 1969 (Unix - the epoch). This mail does not appear on a computer running gmail nor can it be removed from the gmail screen on the iPhone.
- Significant load time problems. Applications (if they respond) can take two to three times the amount of time to load.
- Multitasking issues -- on examination of running processes, many uneccessary items are there. Just because calculator can multitask, does not mean it needs to chew memory when I haven't even opened it once with iOS 4. Other apps running (and using CPU cycles) include iPod, Calendar, Maps, Voicememos, Safari, etc. Please Apple, I'll launch these Apps when I need them. The App, System Activity Monitor, is not able to kill these apps or free memory under iOS 4.
- No process "kill" capability to free resources on the phone.
- Delayed display of caller-id data on incoming phone calls. I assume the remote caller is getting multiple rings as when the display / caller-id is finally on I often only get 1-2 rings before the iPhone sleeps again.
* I have to say this is the shoddiest software release I've seen from Apple. It really represents a bunch of geeks trying to introduce too many features with total disregard for quality.
Apple needs to seriously knuckle down and fix this.

I had to reboot my 3GS a few times to get all the Aps to work properly. Furthermore, I went to the Aps store to make sure I have all the latest and greatest updates. Finally, if you double click on your home button, then you will see all your apps running in the background (at the bottom of the screen). Just press down on one of the Apps, and a little red minus button will come up. Close all of the Aps you are not using. This will preserve your battery life. They will run again when you relaunch them. Keep in mind any time you open up an App it is running in the background. So you may have a whole lot of these programs that are eating up your battery life right now. When you close them this does not mean you will prevent you from receive push messages, etc. You will still get text, messages from ESPN for instance, etc..
I hope this helps you out.

Vista and BEFW11S4 issues

Hi Everyone. I have a Wireless B Router model BEFW11S4 v 4.0. We recently bought a new computer that has Windows Vista. Recently we started having some problems with the internet. Our Windows Firewall is OFF as we have Norton 360 v 2.0. Our problem is that certain websites will not load. It appears that there is a timeout issue. One is www.comics.com. We have not had a problem with this site in the past, even on this computer with this setup. We have not installed or uninstalled any softwares or hadware and have made no changes whatsoever. About a week ago the site was accessing just fine. The error we get when attempting to view certian sites is:
Address Not Found
can't find the server
The browser could not find the host server for the provided address.
    * Did you make a mistake when typing the domain?
    * Are you certain this domain address exists? Its registration may have expired.
    * Are you unable to browse other sites? Check your network connection and DNS server settings.
    * Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy? Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.
When using Vista's help section we learned that some older routers are "not fully compatible" with Vista and we're trying to determine if this is the case with ours. We found a firmware download from Linksys that was v 1.52.02. It is a bin file but did not indicate where to save the file to. Is this the "fix" to the Vista compatibility issue? Where do we save this file then? We did perform the Vista Internet Connectivity Evaluation Tool and the test results indicate that the following were not supported: TCP High Performance Tool and UPnP Support Test.
When following the insturctions from Linksys to ping linksys.com all requests timed out. I did perform the ipconfig/all command but don't know if those results are necessary to show here. I don't want to overload on TMI (too much information). Can someone please help us? This "limited" internet ability is really become troublesome and we just want to make sure we can resolve this issue. Any help is appreciated. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

To make matters worse I just spent an hour in a live chat with someone who gave me misinformation! This person told me to reset the router by pressing and holding the reset button for 30 seconds and that this would reset the password back to "admin" and allow me to make these changes. He also said that I needed to completely shut down and unplug everything from the back of the router, with the exception of the power cord, and perform the reset, then plug everything but the cable modem back in, boot the computer and then go to the setup page and go through the entire process of configuring the router, setting up the network and then going through the power cycle. Well, this would be a great option if resetting the router actually reset my password, it didn't so I couldn't get in to perform the rest of the instructions. He told me that if I ran into problems I should call 1-800-326-7114 for immediate free assistance by another technician who could walk me through everything. Upon calling that number I'm told that because my router isn't covered any longer by warranty that I'd have to pay $29.99 just for the one technical call to answer my question as to how to reset the password. This is absurd! My router is working fine now since I got the updated firmware. I don't need any setup support or troubleshooting. I just need to reset my password for the setup page so that I can make some changes and have access to this in the future. I'm not going to pay $30 for something that isn't related to a repair issue! I can't believe I spent all this time dealing with a live chat person who kept giving me misinformation repeatedly (he gave me the wrong steps for procedures repeatedly) and was then directed to free tech support by phone and suddenly expected to pay $30 just for a generic question. Is this really the typical type of "service" to expect from Linksys? Can't anyone give me the proper answer to reset my password or an alternate method if resetting the router didn't work? I've reset the router about 5 times now and it's not resetting the password. I can log in only using Firefox (not IE) but then I can't make any changes. If being misinformed and lied to is really how Linksys treats their customers I think I'll go elsewhere for an upgrade. Is this really how I should expect to be treated?

Using vista 64 bit with current versions of lightroom and CS3

Since the new versions of lightroom and photoshop are going to run on 64 bit I was thinking of upgrading to vista 64 bit. Will the present versions of lightroom and CS3 function in the vista 64 bit environment
thanks

I use both LR & CS3 on both XP 64 and Vist 64. They wor just fine. In fact you get access to more RAM. Research your printer drivers etc though. That's an issue.

Windows Vista and BPS0 - Strange issue

I just got a new HP Pavilion laptop with Vista and I have a strange issue:
All transactions work (SE80, RSA1, ...) except BPS0. The moment I enter TCode BPS0, I get completely logged out (all sessions). No error messages, no dumps. It just logs me out silently.
Is this happening only to me?
I use Windows Vista Home Premium edition and AMD Turion processor 64x2.
Any suggestions appreciated.

CRM 5.0 IC Webclient Issue - Upgrading OS to Windows Vista and I.E 7.0

Dear Gurus,
I'm supporting CRM 5.0 and right now, users are running the IC
Webclient on Internet Explorer v 6.0. Recently, there has been
plans to upgrade the OS on users' PC to Windows Vista and it
comes with I.E 7.0. I checked the Product Availability Matrix on
SAP and found that there is a patch to cater for I.E 7.0.
My users are also using CTI function. However,there is no patch for CRM SAP Groupware Connector for IE 7.0.
Please assist. If CTI cannot function with IE 7.0, my users will
be stuck with OS Windows XP.

Dear John,
Thank you for your reply. I am a newbie in this area. Do bare with me for my inquiries on the subject.
For my customer's implementation, the ICI interface has been configured to communicate to external communication management software from Nortel.
I raised such an inquiry because, per my checking on the PAM for CRM 5.0, the information on SAP Groupware Connector is parked under the Web Browser tab. Per my understanding,the Groupware Connector executes message synchronization
between the CRM server and the Groupware server, in this case, it would be the AMC server.
I was wondering on:
1. the impact it would have on the above matter, if patches were to be applied on the server
2. whether there is a relation between the Group Connector and ICI interface, that would cause an impact on IC Webclient if patches for the browser upgraded is applied to the CRM server. There is no patch available for Groupware Connector for I.E 7.0.
The patches to be applied are for the following components:
SAP_ABA - Cross-Application Component
SAP_BASIS - SAP Basis Component
SAP_AP - SAP Application Platform
SAP_BW - BBPCRM
Please assist. I'd appreciate your help.
p/s: Are you using IE 7.0 with CRM? Was the server patch process a challanging one? Hope you can share. TQ

Airport Extreme and external HDD - cannot be found under Windows (XP/Vista)

Dear All,
I am about to loose it. I have an Airport Extreme (7.4.2), most recent version (802.11n)connected to my cable modem. Attached is a 2TB HFS+ Formated HDD. I have a number of machines. My primary machine is a Dell XPS with Vista and MacDrive installed.
Now: On my AirPort utilities through the Dell the different HDD's connected via USB (I have tried half a dozen) are all visible. They are shared and I have tried all options, e.g. "with Disk Password" etc, tried to give and deny access to guests etc.
I have tried various things incl. switching off the firewall has not been a success either. I am basically ready to buy a Mac now, but I am worried that the problem will persist for all my Windows based PC's.
Who can help with a step to step guide? tried the TCP/IP settings on the XP machine as well (entering the IP address of both Airport Extreme and Express).

Hi!
I've got the same problem as of Friday when I upgraded my Notebook from XP to Windows 7.
It does not recognize the HDD anymore, neither on the Windows7 Notebook nor on 2 different XP- PC's.
I disabled the password functionality and removed the HDD several times, no change.
When I look to the data volumes overview in the system settings, all internal HDD's and the CD partition of the Toshiba drive are shown. The HDD partition of the drive is shown as "non allocated".
Is there any workaround to get access to the data????
Best regards,
Helmut

I tried downlaoding itunes on my Windows Vista and after it completes, the icon doesn't appear on my desktop. The itunes setup can be found just not the actual program.

I tried downloading itunes on my Windows Vista and after it completes, the icon doesn't appear on my desktop. When I search for the itunes under my programs, this is what shows: iTunes64Setup.

It did prompt me to run it. I apologize. I said save.
This is what happens, I run the iTunes64Setup, it downlods, says it has completed and then I click finish on the iTunes installer. After that, nothing comes up. Usually the program will start after it installs. There isn't an icon on my desktop either. When I go and search for iTunes under programs, only the iTunes64Setup appears. I am also having trouble downloading Adope Photoshop as well.
