When saving work in CS6 as CS4 what characteristics/formatting will I lose?

Considering purchasing Illustrator CS6 to use with my Web Standard CS4. I understand that I can "save as" CS4 in Illustrator. Is there information somewhere that will tell me what formatting/features I will lose in the process?

I've written one in German: http://www.vektorgarten.de/illustrator-cs6.html#runterspeichern
Maybe translation services help understanding it.

please note that continuing using an outdated versions of firefox like 3.6.28 which is [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html affected by numerous known security vulnerabilities] will put the integrity of your system and all the personal data on it at risk! so I'd recommend updating as soon as possible.
in order to answer your specific question it would be necessary to know which addons you've installed specifically - google toolbar won't work any longer but there are quite a few alternatives: [[Google Toolbar is no longer compatible with Firefox - Here are some alternatives]]

Incorrectly coloured text when saving to .PDF using Photoshop CS4

I am using Photoshop CS4 on Windows 7, and have designed my own business card.
When saving to .PDF to send to printers I am finding that a small section of text is saving with a white section to it, for example out of the 3 lines of text on the card the bottom left hand corner of the & sign I have in the design is coming out white, the rest of the text is a golden colour.
I have tried searching on this forum and on google but can't seem to find anyone with my actual problem so unsure where to go.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks

Or make the Type and Hyphen layers into a single Smart Object and clip a yellow layer to it.

When saving my Adobe CS6 InDesign document, why does it save as an Adobe Illustrator document?

When I click "Save As" it looks as if it will save it as an indd document, but in fact it saves as an AI document. However, when I double click the icon, it tries to open in Illustrator, but then I get an error message stating it cannot open the document.

It means that your file associations in Windows are messed up - all .indd files are assigned to open up in Illustrator. Shutdown InDesign, open up any file that you know is an InDesign file, right-click and select Properties, and it'll say "Opens With: Illustrator." Click on the CHange button, then choose InDesign from the window, and make sure that the "Always Open With" box at the bottom is checked.
That's how it's supposed to work, anyways, When file associations are messed up in Windows sometimes it takes a lot more work to fix it. But give that a shot first.

Fuzzy Logo/Artwork when saved in Illustrator CS6

Is anyone else experiencing an issue when saving artwork in Illustrator on newer Macs?
I have spent the past 3 hours trying to figure out the issue. I have Saved to Web, Exported. I have tried png and gif files. The original file is fine, but when I go to resize it to fit my web and blog formats, it pixelates it and it looks terrible.
Please help!

allyandtuck,
Always create the raster image at the exact size(s) in pixels by pixels that it is going to be used at.
You will always have fuzzy/jagged images when you resize (apart from halving the size and similar reductions).
The safest way is Save for Web where you can set the Image Size. That window is also where you tick Art/Type Optimzed.
You should find out the right size for each website.
It may be noted that some websites have some strange conversion/resizing which destroys any quality you have obtained, whatever you do. That also applies to the Profile Images here in these forums.

How do I import Bridge keywords and metadata to CS6 from CS4 so that I don't lose them if CS4 is not

I have hundreds of keywords and metadata including Ratings and Labels using CS4 and Bridge CS4.
It is time to replace my PPC Mac with a new Intel Mac.
I am going to install CS6 on the new Intel Mac without installing CS4.
By default.... this eliminates ALL keywords and ratings and labels from my Bridge browser. The keywords will still be present on the files but Not present in Bridge keywords list and all ratings and labels will be lost.
Making a copy of Bridge CS4 metadata to another computer is quite simple.
Simply copy All of the Bridge CS4 application support folder to the other computer.
The question then becomes.... can I aslo do this with CS6 without introducing an incompatibility?
1. incompatible due to CS6 application support.
2. incompatible due to transfer from a PPC (APM) to Intel (GUID).
This concern results from an Bridge CS4 export problem I experienced.
Bridge CS4 will export all of your keywords and you can import them from a text file but it has some odd troubles. (try it and you will see)
This does Not mean that CS6 has the same troubles.
What do I require to preserve existing metedata and keywords that exist on a PPC using CS4 and import them into CS6 using Intel?
Sound simple?
I doubt it.
The points are.
1. CS4 not installed.
2. CS4 source is PPC not Intel.
3. Ratings and Labels are metadata that Are Not part of the file metadata and unique to Bridge only.
4. Keyword Search and keyword Use requires that Bridge have keyword list, otherwise Finder is the far more useful browser and the new version of Bridge will require hours of keyword listing.
I don't want to spends hours retyping keywords lists in Bridge.

Ratings are NOT placed into the file under CS4 Bridge and neither are
Labels.
That depends on your file type and settings voor Camera Raw.
Like Curt stated usually metadata is written in to the file itself. Only Raw files can't be written to and by default they create a XMP file, also called Sidecar XMP files (and do have the same filename, only a different extension called .xmp). These files are also by default hidden in Bridge but If you use Bridge to move files they travel along with the original.
If you move or copy them using finder you have to be sure these XMP files are also copied with the originals to the new location.
Using the menu View / show hidden files should reveal the XMP files.
An other option for the Camera Raw prefs is to set metadata to the Camera Raw database instead of written to sidecar XMP files ( to my knowledge using sidecar files has been the default since about CS3).
Now here it becomes a bit tricky and I only can tell you my findings, not to be confused with true facts. (and mind you, it is at least 5 years ago I was on a PPC and not even remember which OSX 10 was able to work on it, I just present the acting of CS6 on an intel Mac Pro with OSX 10.7, but I don't believe the difference in location is that much)
Having written the Metadata to the Camera Raw Database your image settings get written to a file in the user library preferences folder called logically "Adobe Camera Raw Database". But also some info gets added to the Camera Raw Cache folder (User library / Caches/ Adobe Camera Raw) in a file called index.dat.
Also not having set metadata to xmp sidecars stores the ACR settings in a new .dat file with a unique number (not to be traced as a corresponding filename. And also the default maximum is set to 1 GB of space and when full the oldest files are overwritten with the new ones.
Personally I use converted DNG files that are capable of writing metadata to so all info and settings are in the file itself and I don't need to bother about central storage that can get lost. The downside is that changes to a DNG need to save the whole file instead of a small xmp file and probably reading cache takes more time then getting info from central storage but I like to be on the safe side and speed is not really needed to be nailed down to split seconds in my workflow.
Keywords are stored as a file in the Bridge preferences but Like Curt already stated exporting the old list first and then via the same route import again to CS6 should solve your problem and they will be back as persistent, otherwise the files in the content window show as italic and sadly enough have to be made persistent one by one with right click mouse menu, so that is not really an option for you.
Exporting the list does create a text file that can also be altered manually with a simple text app and as said, again be imported in newer versions as Curt described earlier.
Making a copy of Bridge CS4 metadata to another computer is quite simple.
Simply copy All of the Bridge CS4 application support folder to the other computer.
Well, in fact it is true to call copying this folders a simple task but replacing the existing new CS6 would not be my method. The biggest change for Bridge CS6 was the transition to 64 bit and I lack the knowledge for this but also cache format for thumbs and previews has been different for every version.
But if you have located the CS4 folder for Bridge in your PPC user library / application support / Adobe / Bridge CS4 you should find a file called 'Adobe Bridge Keywords.xml' and it is fairly safe to replace this CS4 version with the new CS6 version.
Also custom settings for the output module can be copied (however to my memory the option for custom settings in Output where introduced in CS5) and collections can be copied.
So for your keywords the copy option might work, rating and labeling for Raw files they will be read in CS6 if they are stored as XMP. ACR settings idem but CS6 ACR has a new (2012) conversion mode that has different settings that do not work with previous settings (unless you first choose to use the 2010 conversion as default Raw setting.
If it is in the Central Data Base I would start trying to replace the CS4 with the CS6 edition (after back up of existing CS6 version) and see what happens. If it works your out of trouble.
You can also open the Camera raw Database as a text file but there is a lot of data in. Maybe scripting would be able to reveal those data and transfer to XMP but you have to visit the dedicated Scripting forum for this.
And while you state to have not installed CS4 anymore it might be wise to reinstall it (but first make a proper back up of the previous mentioned folders and files to be on the save side.
This gives you the opportunity to export keywords properly and if needed you can use Show Items from subfolders option with filter and set preferences to XMP sidecar to refresh the rating and labels to those XMP files. Just an escape route that might not be as painstakingly as it looks at first sight, just use the options for Bridge to filter.

HT1386 When I update my IPad to the IOS 5 system will I lose my apps that I purchased from the ITunes store?

I have an IPad 2. I want to update it to an IOS 5. Will I lose my apps that I purchased from the ITune store?

What you should do anytime that you update the device is to transfer purchases from the iPad into iTunes - File>Transfer Purchases - and you should backup the iPad as well. When you update the update the device, if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup.
However, iTunes should ask if you want to backup before you update, but just in case create the backup yourself before you update. The backup contains your app data and settings - so make sure you backup first. If something goes awry when you update, with regard to apps, you can download them again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought them with.
If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.

Images imported in illustrator not showing when saving work as pdf

Hi, I'm new to illustrator and have encountered a seemingly strange problem. I'm trying to create a figure for a scientific article consisting of a plot (.pdf, created in Mathematica) with another graphic (.pdf, also created in Mathematica). I've imported the two files into illustrator cs6, making sure that they are within the artboard margins. They look fine there. However, when I save the file as a pdf (to be used in subsequent applications), and view it (either in Preview (on mac) or in Acrobat Reader), the second graphic doesn't show up. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your response. It doesn't seem to matter which layer is higher in the stack. I also checked that each layer was set to "print". I think the problem is on the Mathematica side --- the problem I have arises with pdf graphics generated in Mathematica 8, but not in 9. Hmm.

Shared menu missing when saving from Photoshop CS6

I'm using Yosemite on an iMac and I am currently connected to two servers. I can open and save files from just about every application except Photoshop CS6. For example, I click File > Open and the shared menu isn't there with the servers listed underneath. Also, if I try to Save As, that dialog box is missing the shared menu with the servers listed as well. I've been working around it by opening files from Finder, or by opening recent folders from those servers, but if the server I need to save to isn't recent, it becomes a problem. I'm a graphic designer and I work with Photoshop a lot, so I really need this to work. Is there a preference I'm not seeing that will put the shared menu back on the Open and Save As dialog boxes?

I take that back. I just downloaded the update 10.10.1 and the shared menu is back. Thank you! That makes my life so much easier!

CS4 what 3D formats are accepted in Photoshop & After Effects?

Hello
I've trawled around the internet trying to find more information on what editable 3D file formats are accepted in Photoshop CS4 and After Effects.
Also does anyone know if you can import 3D file formats straight to A.E CS 4?
I use Cinema 4D to model so if anyone has any information on that specific program I would be grateful.
Thank you!
Chloe

dae, kmz, 3D Studio, Wavefront/OBJ, U3D and Google Earth 4 that I know of at the moment.

Came home yesterday to find my time capsule has an orange light blinking and my wifi network is no longer working. Not sure how/why this happened and can't get it working. Do i just reset it and will this lose my backups? Or can I create a new wifi n/w?

Its an 802.11n (4th Gen) model
I looked at the diagnostics screen (next to the blinking orange icon on the Airport Utility and it says there are four issues:
the software (currently V 7.6.1) has an update available. If I click update I get the error message "There was an error connecting to the update server. Check your network settings and try again". However, nothing's been changed settings-wise
The other 3 status issues are:
Internet Connection - but the router is working fine and I can connect to the router via wifi on my MacBook Pro
No DNS Servers - I have no idea what this means
Ethernet Unplugged - it's not and I also replaced the ethernet cable which has no effect
Do I just cut my losses and hit the reset button - if so will I need to back everything up again (i.e. I will no longer be able to access my backups) or do I just set up a new wifi network - again, will this impact on my backups?
Any help/advice would be appreciated - thanks

Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

What Video Formats will iDVD5 import?

Apple's website is not very clear on this.
Will it import anything other than DV?
Will it import all QT codecs? MPEG2?
Thanks for any help,
Ross
P.S. My search here did not find it either.

I'm late to this thread - so maybe this is for Those Who Come After.. - but, I found this all a bit hard to follow & still can't figure out why Sheila's buying Toast (a great but not cheap product) to make DVDs with all the 'fancy bits' when she already has a superb, free product that does precisely that.... iDVD. (Compared to most of the other software I've used to do this stuff iDVD is so User-Friendly I've taken it home to meet Mother ..
In a general answer to the original question - and related -, (HDVid,pics/extras aside)
b all the iDVD/ iMovie products were designed to take Digital Video,, i.e. DV from a compatible DV Cam (or precisely-formatted DV files which came from DV from a compatible DV Cam...) work with it and produce various output or Delivery products (whatever else the Docs etc. may suggest).
Ignoring pictures, iDVD takes in DV, allows extensive easy user customisation and produces DVDs after 'hidden' transcoding To MPEG-2 and creating the full DVD structure itself. (you could start from lots of other formats, transcode to a DV file and use iDVD from there but the results will likely range from bad to unviewable - if your Dad sends you an MPEG2 file, that's what you'll have to do to use iDVD - and chances of the transcoding screwing up are high - in my experience of the huge variations in file format/quality/bug level etc on PC-encoded MPEGs).
Best approach for iMov/iDVD (or almost anything else...is as suggested by our friend above):- have him send you a DV Tape copy, access a cam for a couple of hours and use iMovie to Capture as a DV file and proceed from there .... as you encounter the inevitable roadbumps (buy some DVD-RW.. you'll always have the original, full, highest-quality DV to go back to.
Toast (and DVDSP & other DVD creator/author tools) require solid, standards-compliant MPEG-2 as input (but I refer you to my comments above). There are a number of tools that'll do the DV->MPEG2 transcode on the Mac. They vary in quality, speed, price...... (you can't easily use the 'hidden' iDVD stuff last time I looked...).
To put it less technically, e.g. Mpeg-1 is mostly pretty small and pretty poor quality. "Enlarging' it in transcoding to DV is just going to give you a LARGE, bad-quality picture... - [an extreme example, but transcoding UP or 'across' - in 'quality' - is always bad. Transcoding DOWN from hi-quality DV to MPEG-2 for Delivery on DVD (e.g.) can be quite good - which is why you always try to do it ONCE and do it last.
[Perhaps it's not obvious to people, but most of these formats 'throw away' huge amounts of data/picture information: 2hr DV is about 30Gig... Transcoded to MPEG2, it may be 4. That's 26Gig worth of picture info that just isn't there anymore....]
For anyone working with this stuff, I recommend some Googling for info/tutes and FAAQs on Capture, editing and Delivery CODECs (CODECCentral used to be one....)
b 1 line summary: wherever possible, start with hi quality DV (or better), edit/play about in that, last, transcode to Deliver in whatever suits.
Best wishes.....
