Why is the compatibility from CC to CS6 so poor?

Why is the compatibility from CC to CS6 so poor at times? I've never had more issues with backwards compatibility that with CC Illustrator to any older version of Illustrator (specifically CS6, which is *only* 1 generation removed.) This is pretty surprising as compatibility issues with non-CC versions of Illustrator weren't as frequent, or fraught with errors and issues as they are with CC. I figure it's probably a not-so-subtle ploy to 'convince' (strong-arm in a very unprofessional fashion) everyone to upgrade to CC and get their monthly fees. I'm really quite frustrated, and very disappointed in the non-friendly manner in which CC software interacts (or, rather, doesn't) with older versions.

A number of things, the first few that come to mind - opening CC files in CS6. Quite a number of issues with fonts (converting some fonts and fractions to outlines or a default 'box'), converting entire layouts to clipping masks, breaking layers apart and converting multiple artboard documents into multiple page PDF AI files (which is really weird) amongst other things...

  • Why does the document window in illustrator cs6 move to the far left when I reopen the file?

    why does the document window in illustrator cs6 move to the far left when I reopen the file?

    Hi John,
    thanks for the fast response.  cs5 remembered the window position.  I like having the window in the middle as I have a 27" monitor.  I just upgraded to cs6 yesterday and I'm sure it was remembering the window document position.  I think.  If i find out how to fix this, I'll post it here.
    And while I'm on the subject of cs6, why the f*** did adobe combine the stroke and swatches pallettes?  Now I forever have to click stroke and swatch tabs all day.  And I love the army and navy file icons of photoshop and illustrator.  I won't comment on Acrobat X.  ; (

  • Why does the "Import from Camera" selection open up iSight instead of my camera?

    My Sony Cyber-Shot is connected my iMac through the included USB. About an hour - two hours ago I clicked on the Import from Camera option and it showed my videos recorded using my camera, but now when I click the option it opens up the built in iSight instead. Can someone please help me? How can I get it to open up my camera video files instead of iSight?

    I don't have the Sony, but on my Canon you have to have the camera in "play" mode and when you plug in the usb the camera asks to what do you want the camera to connect. You choose "computer." In other words, it makes a difference in what order you connect things.

  • Why do the emails from my secondary email accounts disppear?

    Where do the emails from my secondary AT&T accounts disappear to? I never get to read them on my 1st gen iPad running Apple mail and iOS 5.0.1.

    My secondary email accounts work fine. They all deliver email to my PC just dandy. No es problema. Never miss a thing there.
    Thus, I reset the secondary accounts' Advanced setting on the iPad's Mail, Calendar, Whatever setting in Settings today so that the secondary accounts would "Never" remove mail from the server. Never. Never, ever. (They were previously set to remain on the server for a week.) They're all still on the server. Ever ding dang durn one. But they're on my iPad for, like, about thirty seconds and, POOF!, they're gone. Ah . . . yeah. Hmm.
    I have Inboxes for all accounts; Sent boxes, Drafts boxes, Trash, the whole enchilada. All barren, lifeless, empty (can't you just hear that desolate, hollow wind in the desert sound?). Except for my primary account which is rock steady.
    Whacko.

  • Why all the incompatibilities from safari?

    Safari problems: filling out forms, getting .pdf from a site gives black screen etc. problems chrome or firefox don't have. Time Apple acts

    If you are using Adobe to view PDF files, Apple is not responsible for third party software compatiblity. That's why it's necessary to remove the Adobe PDF Viewer plugin.
    For forms, make sure your Autofill settings are correct in Safari > Preferences > Autofiill

  • Why wont the SSD from my 2011 MBP work right away in my 2012 MBP?

    I have a 2011 MBP running a Samsung SSD 470 without a problem.
    I swapped the SSD into my new 2012 MBP which is, apart from the yearly updates (2.3 i5 to 2.5 i5 processor and RAM speed increase from 1333 to 1600) exactly the same computer. I expected to literally carry on using it from where I left off in the 2011 model but the 2012 machine will not boot with this drive in it.
    Why?

    actually i own a late 2011 Macbook Pro and I bought my niece a new 2012 Macbook Pro....
    gave her one of my old Kingston V200 128GB SSD to give her speed....
    It booted but kept on crashing and the startup is very slow...So i did an internet recovery install....And now it's working great...
    came to a conclusion ( i may be wrong ) - because my 2011 is a Sandy Bridge Processor/Chipset combo and the 2012 is the new Ivy Bridge Processor/Chipset combo was the issue...After a clean install, everything was fine...
    I understand you're hesitant about doing a clean install because you don't have it backed up....
    Try booting with the original drive to see if your sata cable is fine just to eliminate your sata cable as defective...

  • Why do the upgrades from OS X 10.3.6 to OS X 10.6.8 keep my computer freezing?

    Hi,
    I understand that I should get some Apple Hardware Tests to solve freezing applications problems I already had before upgrading to Lion to Leopard to mountain lion.
    I do not succeed to follow the directions I've been provided i.e. turn off the computer, and press the D key before the screen turns grey.
    From there, I keep on coming back to my starting screen as if I had pressed nothing, or too late.
    Any suggestion?  I start to lose it.
    Thanks.

    You posted in the OS 10.3 and earlier forum instead of the Leopard OS 10.5 forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  I'll request that Apple relocate your post.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Why are the books from Lauren Dohner gone?

    Recently, I tried to look and see if there were any new Laurann Dohner books in iTunes, and I see that all the books are no longer there even those I had bought previously. Can someone explain to me why they're gone?

    We are fellow users, but if the books are no longer your country's store then it's probably because the publisher/rights-holder has decided to remove them - only they will know if/when they might allow Apple to sell them in your country again.

  • Why does the layers panel in ID CS6 affect or override Articles Panel and reading order?

    In InDesign CS6 we arrange the order of content using the Articles panel and we expect that the reading order of the exported PDF will match what's in the Articles panel. In reality, we come to find that the layers panel in InDesign adversely affects the reading order. It completely ignores the articles panel which is counter to the purpose. Anyway, I've found that the reading order in the pdf ends up being the reverse order of what is in the InDesign documents layers panel. In terms of Accessibility, this is a problem and requires manual re-organization of the reading order. The Articles panel in InDesign was supposed to alleviate this process. Any ideas?

  • Why is the downgrade from ios5 to ios4 forbidden by itunes apple ?

    Problems of downgrade from newest to oldest as ios5 to ios4 forbidden :(

    It is forbidden by Apple to Downgrade iPhone 4. To Restore an iPhone 4 the iPhone must receive a special code (signing) specific to the iPhone to Restore, only Apple has the secret Algorithm. Apple only supplies the code for the Current Firmware. So Apple does not allow downgrade of iPhone 4. In addition iTunes is programmed to halt the Restore Process if it detects an attempt to downgrade the Firmware of iPhone 4. So in summary, Apple forbids the downgrade of iPhone 4.
    Even the Head Apple Genius could not downgrade any new iPhone 4, or any new iPhone 3GS, or any new iPhone 4S. Because Apple forbids it.

  • Why is the sound from my bose mobile speakers "choppy" when paired with my Mac Book Pro but not my other apple products?

    I have bose mobile speakers that use bluetooth to be paired with devices. I have successfully paired it with my ipad and iphone and the sound is phenominal. However when paired with my MacBook PRo the sound is very "choppy" and not clear. Would anyone know why this is?

    Having sent my speaker to Bose to have it checked over, they returned it to me unable to recreate the problem saying it was fault free. They included the following instructions to adjust bluetooth settings to 40.
    Open Terminal and use the command:
    defaults write com.apple.BluetoothAudioAgent "Apple Bitpool Min (editable)" 40
    Restart, turn off both devices then re-pair.
    This has vastly improved the quality of sound on the speaker, although not ALWAYS perfect as have found that if I am working on the keyboard or browsing the internet at the same time as listening to music via Bose speaker there is a little jumpiness.
    Further research in various forums has shown there are other settings to experiement with:
    30 – Low audio quality
    40 – Medium audio quality
    48 – High audio quality
    58 – Excellent audio quality
    Hope this helps.

  • Why does the music from my CDs take up so much memory?

    I'm new to itunes, and having just recieved an ipod (an 8 GB nano) for Christmas I started uploading my CDs to itunes yesterday.
    I've uploaded 15 albums, containing 205 songs, which is 12.4 hours of playing time. According to the information at the bottom of my itunes, it takes up 7.38 GB of memory. 8 GB of memory is supposed to hold 2000 songs, so I don't understand why 205 songs have nearly filled the memory. Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Kate

    Maybe it has to do with the encoder you used to import your CDs to the computer. If you use a lower encoding (for example, mp3 or aac at 128 kbps) your iPod should be able to contain approximately 2000 songs. If you use a higher encoding (like mp3 or aac at 192 kbps or higher bit rates) , your songs will take much more space but the sound quality will be higher. To check what encoding you're using you can select a file, right-click, and click on "get info". More instructions on how to choose a new bit rate can be found at these links: http://www.ehow.com/how2019280set-import-itunes.html or http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-choose-an-itunes-encoder.navId-3232 15.html. After doing that, you'll have to import your cd's again using the new encoder.
