Why is it so chaotic to Sync Settings between apps of Adobe CC 2014? (and to transfer settings from CC to CC 2014)

Although, in general I'm a big fan of the Adobe Products and the CC Idea, I think that some parts of it were not ready for launch.
The part that mostly disturbs me is the settings syncing / Update. (Or "Seamless Update")
Concerning the updates:
I had own workspace in all the CC Adobe Apps, the only CC 2014 App that imported the previous settings in the new app at the first start was Photoshop.
Indesign made it through the Edit => Migrate previous local settings
Illustrator by copying the settings files manually
in Dreamweaver and Flash I had to recreate the workspace manually (which finally took less time then trying  to sync settings.)
So long for the Seamless update that wasn't so seamless.
Concerning the settings syncing
Why could'nt adobe have the settings syncing working the same way in all it's CC 2014 applications? ( File Menu on PC / The Name of the App Menu on Mac => Sync Settings, upload or download settigns; done!)
Instead (on mac) :
In Photoshop: Photoshop => my account name => upload and download settings ( and no way to import settings from previous version )
In Illustrator: Illustrator => my account name => Sync Settings ( and I cannot import settings from the previous version, only from the same version )
in Indesign: Indesign => my account name => Sync Settings ( and the only CC 2014 App where the "Migrate previous local settings" function is working )
in Dreamweaver => my account name => Sync Settings and a button on the far right of the upper toolbar (and no way to import previous version's local settings)
in Flash => my account name => Sync Settings and a button on the far right of the upper toolbar (and no way to import previous version's local settings)
in Premiere Pro => my account name => Sync Settings with the possibility to clear settings and to use settings from a different account
Appart from that update and syncing chaos, the syncing between two computers simply doesn't seem to work ( at least for me).
I have a computer at work and a laptop at home and I'd like to have the same workspace in my apps at home as at work for occasional home working.
I created and configured my custom workspaces on the mac at work and then synced settings (respectively uploaded them in Photoshop). I had cleared all the saved settings from the Creative Cloud online account first.
I arrived at home, tried to sync settings but no workspace was implemented. (and before you ask, yes i had checked that the workspaces should be synced and that, on the laptop at home, the cloud settings should be applied.)
After few tryings I gave up and ended up recreating my setings on both machine. Frankly I don't know why the sync settings are for, since they just don't seem to work.
I really think you should rethink this feature: make it simpler, working THE SAME WAY in all Adobe apps, and, well, just working!
I'd just like to log into creative cloud an any computer, sync settings, and be able to use my custom created workspace.
I posted this in the Cloud Forum since, in my opinion, the settings syncing is a cloud matter and not a matter of each app individually.

    Instructions on syncing your iPad can be found here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12311
    and in the accompanying documents linked from that page. Syncing your iPad with iTunes copies items, it doesn't move them. The only way apps would be actually removed from your iPad during syncing is if you had iTunes set to remove them on syncing, so check the appropriate settings in iTunes, set the book to sync as well, and then sync the iPad again.

  • I'm trying to sync/back-up apps on my iPhone 3G and iTunes keeps telling me it can't complete the operation because "the apps on my iPhone cannot be determined." What the **** does this mean?!

    Same problem. Wish I knew.
    When I tried to Restore, I got an Error 13xx and it won't even do that.

  • HT4191 Why did my contacts disappear after syncing with 10.7 for the frist time and how do I get them back?

    It also apparently changed all the contacts on my computer. Now I have a only a portion of my contacts both on my PC and my iPod 4g with nothing to restore from. Thanks Apple! Hope you update your crap OS sometime soon. Maybe then my Messenger app will start working again. Maybe then I can use the app store again. Maybe then I can use a working map again. Maybe then I will start using my apple devices again.

    yes, i did too.. will probably just try to restore them from the iphone sync.

  • Why won't my iphone 4s sync with my mac after downloading ios 7 and updating iTunes?

    ive tried to sync my iphone to itunes but the sync keeps failing

    Your iPhone will act as a camera, in iPhoto.  Open iPhoto, and you should see your iPhone listed in the left hand column, under "devices".

  • Is there a way to share my Mail account and settings between two partitions, running Snow Leopard and Lion?

    I have two partitions on my internal hard drive - one is running Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and the other is running Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. Mail (5.0) is set up and runs perfectly on the Lion partition and I have not used Mail (4.5) yet on my Snow Leopard partition. I want to know if I can read, download, and save mail into the same user Library folder (probably the Lion user library) from both partitions...

    You usually set up your mail accounts on a specific e-mail client programs such as Mail in OS X and Mail on an iPad, which will access the same remote mail server to have your messages show up on each device. Mailboxes can be synced in this way between two devices.
    An alternative is to use the same remote application such as Gmail to access that service from multiple devices, so a dedicated e-mail client like Mail is not needed, but the availability of these depends on the e-mail service being used.

  • Bug? Illustrator CC 2014 and Pixel Grid settings not working.

    Hello,
    I've noticed that in Illustrator CC '14 when I go to make a new web document with "Align New Objects to Pixel Grid" selected, as I'm working in the document none of the new shapes I draw actually align to the grid without me manually going into the Transform panel and selecting the option for each new shape.
    Is there a new setting in '14 I'm missing? Obviously it's not a completely crippling behavior as there's a work around, but it is still quite annoying and slows my work flow down. Any help or insight is appreciated.

    THIS IS A DAMMED ANNOYING CHOICE FOR BEHAVIOR, ADOBE.
    My current position entails building lots of wireframes, and working amongst several other designers (9999 times out of 10000 aren't going to care or figure out alignments and "expand rectangle" every time they make a box.) Even if I actually manage to build a file where things adhere to a world of pixels, it will be ruined the moment I hand it to someone else.
    There should be – ANYWHERE, I don't care if it's in Preferences or View, or Tool panel – an option which basically indicates "I'M BUILDING THIS FOR A SCREEN MADE OF PIXELS, SO DON'T EVER PUT SOMETHING AT A FRACTION OF A PIXEL."
    Wasn't there a perfectly good application we're supposed to transition away from, something called Fireworks?

  • I accientally synced my iPhone to 2 different computers. Now my older apps are on one computer and new apps are on another.  Every time I try to sync all apps on one computer it takes the other apps of and just syncs what is on that computer - Help please

    I accientally synced my iPhone to 2 different computers. Now my older apps are on one computer and new apps are on another.  Every time I try to sync all apps on one computer it takes the other apps of and just syncs what is on that computer - Help please
    I cannot for the life of me figure this out.

    What you need to do is connect your phone to iTunes but do not click sync.  Go to File at the top and click transfer purchases from phone, that'll put all your apps into iTunes.  When it's done transferring, locate your phone on the sidebar and click it.  Then find the apps option above the picture of your iphone, you can select which apps you want or don't want on your phone.  After selecting your apps then you can sync.  Once you do this you should never have your problem anymore.

  • Why does my address book not sync to iCloud?

    Why does my address book not sync to iCloud?

    I believe the duplicate address book accounts stems from the move from MobileMe to iCloud and both accounts still being active.
    This is how I merged the two address books:
    1) To make sure all the contacts are in both:
    a) I selected On My Mac account - clicked on any address - Command A to select all - drag the contacts to the iCloud account - answered OK to merge and resolve duplicates.
    b) same in reverse: select the iCloud account - click on an address - click Command A to select all - drag the contacts to the On My Mac account - answer OK to merge and resolve duplicates.
    In system preferences I found an iCloud icon and also a MobileMe icon. I was logged in under both.
    1)  In the Address Book preferences I selected iCloud and unchecked Enable this account.
    2)  In the Address Book I selected iCloud and clicked on the minus “-” to remove that account – leaving only the local Mac address book.
    3)  I went into system preferences and logged out of MobileMe
    4)  In system preferences I opened iCloud and the “Contacts” was not selected (from above) and I selected it.
    I got a dialog box asking if I wanted to merge the iCloud contact with the local contacts – clicked YES.
    … spinning wheel for a minute … voila – only one address book account – iCloud with syncing to iCloud and my iPhone.

  • Why do Adobe Color CC and Indesign CC not convert CMYK to RGB the same?

    I recently used Adobe Color CC to create a color theme that will be used for both print and web.  I created the theme with approved CMYK values with the intent of saving the .ASE file to be imported into other CC apps.  Corresponding RGB, Hex, Lab and HSB values are automatically created.  Of course, we are using CMYK for print and RGB for web
    A coworker had separately created the same exact CMYK theme in InDesign CC, and created RGB values from the same exact CMYK values I had used in Adobe Color.
    The InDesign RGB values are quite different from the Adobe Color values.
    Anyone know why the values are not the same, and moreover, which CMYK to RGB conversion values may be relied upon for accuracy?
    EDIT: I guess the real question should be, What are the color management settings built-in to Adobe Color CC, and can they be duplicated in desktop Adobe CC applications?
    Thanks very much

    I found what change it to normal way, but logicaly it's should not be a reason for autoconvert colors. If I choose CMYK and want add CMYK color it should be CMYK (in name minimum) and not RGB.
    File->Documents Colors->CMYK(should be, but RGB was)
    Right now options open like CMYK, not HSB. But if I want color in RGB it added like CMYK. Options like in CMYK, not HSB, again. Still look like error.

  • How do i Sync my Free apps on My Ipad to my Macbook Pro

    Dear Community,
    I have never bought or downloaded free Apps on my Macbook Pro, but always did on my IPAD. So now i would like to SYNC my IPAD Apps to my Macbook Pro and i have tried everything and it doesn't seem to work.
    I have went under the tab "FILE" in itunes and clicked transfer purchases from "MY IPAD" and since i only purchased one APP (PAGES) which i already have on my MacBook pro i guess it's normal that it does not sync???? But i have like 50 FREE Apps on my IPAD that i would like to sync to my MacBook Pro and regular syncing does not work. I checked Sync Apps under the ITUNES APPS tab and it still shows 0 APPS on my computer....what the ****?!!??
    Can we only SYNC from computer to IPAD????
    PLEAAAAAAASE HELP ME HELP MYSELF!!

    But let me ask you...do you have to sync all tabs one by one.
    No you do not.

    Meaning when you click Sync under the tab "SUMMARY" it should sync all the other ones right?
    You click Sync in the bottom right corner of the iTunes window - not in the Summary Tab. You can select sync settings in the summary tab and that is different.
    The bottom line is when you click on Sync - it syncs ALL content that you have selected in iTunes to the iPad. You don't have to go though each tab - unless you want to make changes in the sync preferences - like you want to add a new app that you downloaded on your computer in iTunes - or you want to add more photos - changes like that have to be made in the various tabs in iTunes before you sync.
