What next - CS6 or CS5.5?
Hi guys,
I am currently using CS5 and would like to know what is next - CS5.5 or CS6?
Where can I read more about the new features? And also, where can I find more about upgrade pricing?
Best Regards,
Ashish.

Sorry, I guess I should have been clearer.
Creative Cloud is a new initiative from Adobe (see http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html and I have some articles at http://www.dwcourse.com/?cat=115 ).
A Creative Cloud subscription ($50/month) will give users access to the Creative Suite programs and more but the programs will reside on your local computer as before.
Adobe will still continue to offer its programs and Suites with the existing perpetual license (basically you own rather than "rent" the version of the program you buy) at least for now although they have publicly stated that they want to move all users to the subscription model at some (undefined) point in the future.
One thing Adobe has announced is that only owners of CS5 or CS5.5 will be offered upgrade pricing when purchasing CS6 products. In other words if you own CS4 or earlier you will need to upgrade to CS5.5 first in order to qualify for a discount on CS6. Previously Adobe offered upgrade discounts for the previous 3 versions of its programs. This has met with a lot of resistance and Adobe has promised additional information.

I have a licensed version of PhotoShop CS5 and bought a CS6 upgrade. When I do upgrade it says license id not valid. What next? How can I contact support personel?
Hi David,
You need to download CS6 Photoshop and enter the serial number for CS6 Photoshop and then you would be prompted to enter the serial number for qualifying product.
Enter the CS5 serial number in order to install and activate CS5 Photoshop on your machine.
Thank you for posting on Adobe Forums. -
Different behaviour of a plug in in CS6 and CS5.5
I've noticed a difference in a plugin behaviour in CS6 and CS5.5.
In a SequenceSetup function the following call generates a PF_Cmd_ARBITRARY_CALLBACK in CS6 with the PF_Arbitrary_FLAT_SIZE_FUNC state of extra parameter. The same PF_Cmd_ARBITRARY_CALLBACK appears later in a plugin work and doesn't work properly in CS6. Though in CS5.5 there is no problem with this function, it doesn't generate any weird events.
suites.ParamUtilsSuite1()->PF_GetCurrentState(in_data->effect_ref, &seqData->curSessionParamState); (code for CS5.5)
suites.ParamUtilsSuite3()->PF_GetCurrentState(in_data->effect_ref,PF_P aramIndex_CHECK_ALL, NULL, NULL, &seqData->curSessionParamState); (updated code for CS6, in respect that the signature of PF_GetCurrentState has changed)
I work in Windows 7, x64. CS6 is 11.0.0.378 version, CS5.5 is 10.5.0.253 version. The only change between these two version of the plug in is the PF_GetCurrentState signature. So I suppose that the problem is inside a new SDK. But I have no guess where it may be.. Do you have any idea what might have changed in CS6 to provide such an error?Hi Niakris,
Thanks very much for closing the loop and reporting back what worked for you. As to why there is a difference between CS5.5 and CS6, one of the engineers here explains:
"I assume the behavior change is due to me making code in certain libraries thread-safe, and explicitly disallowing the execution of certain callbacks on anything other than the main thread. If it worked before CS6, it worked by accident, and was very unsafe to do."
Glad to have you testing compatibility with CS6!
Cheers,
Zac -

I'd go to the Adobe AE SDK forum and ask there.
If those are error messages from applying an effect or running a script, what are you doing to generate the error? -
Running both CS6 and CS5 bridge
I'm running CS5 bridge but using CS6 tools from the cloud tools. I keep CS5 on board because CS6 Bridge is really useless for getting any work done. I face major pauses when I try to use any of the menu buttons or try to right click on anything. Usually at least 5 seconds.
So I just use CS5 which is very quick to respond to those kind of clicks.
I'm seeing one problem that is apparently related to having both versions:
In CS6 Bridge:
When I set Edit/Camera Raw preferences/ Camera Raw Cache/ Select location
It also sets the same place for CS5 Bridge. And Vise versa if I set it from CS5 it changes CS6 as well.
Somewhere they must be using the same configuration file. Just at a guess I'd say that is not supposed to happen.
Can someone who knows more about the internal workings give me some advice about keeping the different versions from sharing settings?Curt Y wrote:
CS6 and CS5 Bridge use different cache database. So same location, different file.
By the way I pretty much do he same thing. Even though CS6 Bridge is now 64 bit, it has too many pauses to do its job. Most are related to building cache.
Yup, its way to aggravating and time wasting to try to use CS6. In my case, running CS5, the one draw back is that I don't have access to the PS CS6 batch processor, so if I have need of that, I have to put up with CS6 long enough to get that done. Forutnately I don't use it all that often.. at least the recent projects I've undertaken have not necessitated it more than a few times.
Are you able to access the PS CS6 image processor from Bridge CS5? (Tools/photoshop/ And here you see several batching sort of tools including the Image Processor). For me; when running CS5 the Tools menu does not have a "photoshop" entry at all.
I'm sort of jumping to a new topic here and hope you don't mind. I wondered if you might have developed a numbered list of things one should try when having the stalling problem some users are seeing with CS6 bridge. I would like to take one more systematic stab at getting a usable installation of CS6 bridge before resorting to the long and usually painful process of getting help from adobe.
It would really be handy if someone with your grasp of this tool could codify and distill down a step by step list of things to try to get CS6 bridge working better.
Your respones to me and to at least one other poster I've noticed (I'm sure there have been more) contain lots of different things to try but with my shortage of experience with this kind of troubleshooting I'm not sure what order to attempt things in. -
Hi.
I'll get this short.
I made a PSD template in PS CS6. This template is fully shaped. When a friend of mine who has PS CS5 opened the document. He got "this document contains unknown data (...)" allert box. Flatten the image is not an option.
Now, I know that shape tool got an signifiant update in CS6, and CS5 don't have it. But I'm asking how cand I make thoose shapes to work in older CS versions too.
I have to mention that not all shapes have this problem, just half of them, so this is even stranger.
If this is somehow important to you, both of us have Windows versions of PS, and both have Extended versions, just CS are different(me CS6, him CS5).
I hope I'll get your help. Thanks.Your shapes ARE fill layers with vector masks under the covers. Depending on what else you've selected - e.g., stroke - there's extra data there, which is the root of this problem. And no, the (non Layer Style) Stroke option is new for Photoshop CS6.
Open this file (created in Photoshop CS6) in both Photoshop CS6 and CS5 and see how things look in each version:

I have an IMac running OS X 10.9.1.
I purchased a new 4TB G-Drive. After installation with Time Machine the drive correctly made backups for about 2 weeks. I installed Maverick.
Then I began to see the message “Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folder”
I called G-Technology. Using the erase function of Disc Utility we received the message “Disk erase failed. Disk Erase failed with the error: Couldn’t unmount disk”. It was determined that the disk was bad and I returned it to the vendor.
A second and then a third disk experienced similar failures after only two backups. G-Technology then said the problem was a computer problem
I called Apple support and allowed them access to my computer. After their intervention the disk worked for two backups and then failed.
I purchased a 1 TB G-Drive yesterday.
I thought I would give it a test and so I made it the backup drive for time machine. It made a primary backup and has been continuing to back up without the feared error message.
I went to the internet and have discovered that my problem has been experienced by others. It only occurs after an upgrade to Maverick.
It also only occurs with a Firewire connection.
The new drive has a USB connector. It works fine.
What next?Which iMac (please be very specific) and also why have you not updated to 10.9.2?

How to open a idml file created by CS6 in CS5?
I created a file in InDesign CS6 and saved as idml file yesterday.
But today I can not open either in CS6 or CS5 version.
It says
"Cannot open the file "Project #3.idml". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application."
Is there anyother way could open this file?I chose from the drop-down list.
Maybe not.
Anyway, thank you very much! -
Unable to update, restore or recover. Slider doesn't slide and number pad doesn't work for passcode. What next? Worked last night . Battery charged. When I push Home button I get my backgroung but can't slide slider. Device is recognized by iTunes.Help! Thank you.
Besweet, I'm having the very same problem with 60GB colour which was bought new and worked for 6 months before suddenly just not being recognised by PC. I hadn't changed anything at all.
I've followed all troubleshooting advice and reinstalled and updated iTunes and iPod updater software but all troubleshooting routes seem to hit the dead end of either the need to access the iPod via the PC (which isn't possible as it's not showing up at all) or the iPod in disc mode stuck at "ok to disconnect".
It's still under 1yr warranty so will have to take to a dealer.
I'm sorry that's not much help for you but at least you know it's not a unique problem.

I can't sign in or out of iCloud. Forgot the password to an email address I no longer have access to. What next? From what I'm reading in the forums, once the email address is set up it cannot be changed. True? If so, um, stupid.
Message to log in to iCloud every time I reply or forward an email. Have to indicate to ignore every time. Annoying.Hello florabb,
You may be able to change or reset the password on this old iCloud/Apple ID account, even if you no longer have access to the email address associated with it. Once the password is changed/updated, you should be able to log your iPhone out of the old iCloud/Apple ID account and log in to the correct new account. You may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
Sign in with a different Apple ID on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Sincerely,

My Ipod mini syncs, but when I go to play, no sound. I've tried multiple speakers and headphones. No Go. What next?
My latest problem is that the Apple site will not recognize my equipment by it's serial number. I know the mini is old, but I like what it did for me and don't necessarily want to "upgrade".This is the iPad in the Enterprise forum. You'll be more likely to get help with your issue if you ask in the appropriate iPod forum.
Regards. -
Just tried to update my iPad 2 to the current iOS, and I got an error that said the update wouldn't install. The iPad is stuck in a funny mode with the apple and spinning wheel showing. I can't power it down or restart it. What next? Thanks.
Try a hard reset: hold the power and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.
