Will deleting bridge affect Illustrator?
I have Bridge CS3, CS4, and CS5. I only need one Bridge, and prefer to only have CS5.
Will deleting bridge cs4 affect illustrator cs4? There is no uninstall option, and I have read that to uninstall bridge, a person must uninstall the other software in that suite. However, I don't want to do that, but delete the versions of bridge that are just wasted hard drive space.
If I delete the Bridge CS3 and CS4 folders, will it affect the cs3 and cs4 programs? If so, is there a way to delete them, but have it so that if I click bridge within Flash or Illustrator, that it will open CS5?
How about on the PC? It is not in my budget to replace my hard drive,
and it is pretty full, so I need to remove whatever programs, etc that I
don't need in order to be effective. Where might I find the
uninstaller? I am able to enter into bridge cs5 and open files within
photoshop cs2. I think I can do the same with bridge cs5 and flash cs3
or illustrator cs4.
Yes you can use bridge CS5 with earlier versions of the other apps, they are not tied together. The only issue that you may come across is starting bridge from inside ofthe other apps. As they don't have an option in their preferences for specifying which Bridge you want to use. But Bridge does allow you to specify which apps to use. If that makes sense.
Edit: As for hard drives you can pick up a drive for a little under a hundred depending on what size you want. Also most PC's will allow a secondary drive which you can use for your data and keep your apps on the master drive.
Though I prefer to use the secondary as a backup drive.
Your choice...

I am having a problem with my youtube account, as since updating to iOS 8.3, the other day, every time I go to my youtube account and click on anything there by opening up a tab, it always goes to the youtube app and then goes back and opens a new tab. Everytime I have updated, it seems to get worse not better. One other thing that happened that has not been fixed yet when I updated a while ago, was that when you have many tabs open and go back and forth between them, it aleays reloads and does not stay the way you left it. Wish Apple would get it right and especially with youtube issues. So my question regarding my youtube account would be if I can delete the youtube app, without affecting my account.
If you delete the YouTube app you will not be affecting your YouTube account. You can always reinstall it & see if that fixes the problem.
As far as Safari pages reloading between tabs, I have also noticed the issue after iOS 8 on my iPad 2. Updating to the latest iOS on older devices can see a degradation in performance within certain apps due to the limitations of those devices.
We made the choice to update & with the many benefits of the latest & greatest iOS there are bound to be some problems too, -
Bridge will not launch from Illustrator CC
I am having issues with launching Bridge in Illustrator and After Effects. I have to manually launch it with the icon.
In preferences check to see it there are startup scripts for the app and if so see if they are checked. If no startup scripts they apps not made to communicate with each other.

Do you have to delete current (CS6) Illustrator preferences on Mac Os X?
I have recently purchased the Adobe Illustrator CS6 program & Adobe CS6 Classroom in a Book. I am familiar with the Adobe InDesign & Adobe Photoshop programs, but I have never had to restore/delete default preferences.
I was able to locate the Adobe Illustrator Prefs- [startup drive]/Users/[username]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS6 Settings/en_US -yet I become confused from there. The en_US is a folder, yet the book is saying that it is a file that I'm supposed to be working with. When I click on the en_US folder, I am brought to many more files & folders, one saying "Adobe Illustrator Prefs" (which is a square icon that says "PREFS" in brown & gold).
My question is; am I supposed to copy & save the file that says "Adobe Illustrator Prefs" into another folder on my hard disk, or am I supposed to copy & save the folder "en_US" into another frolder on my hard disk?
Also, when deleting the current Illustrator preferences, do I delete the new folder I have to create, or do i delete the file that is already in my library? Is there an easier way of doing this?
Explaining in detail would be much appreciated!
Thank you very much in advance,
AlysiaAlysia,
I believe it makes good sense to save a copy of the whole folder with the preferences, for 4 to 6 reasons (even if some may disagree with 2) and 3), there will still be 1), 4), 5), and 6) left; actually 6) would seem to be enough in itself):
1) Preference corruption is something that occurs with a certain (low) probability, in connexion with the saving of them when you close down Illy, or while Illy is open; in other words there is (at least) one occasion where the preferences may have become corrupted every time you have closed down Illy;
2) The complexity of the combination of all the elements involved in closing down an application (Illy) is likely to increase the probability of saving errors as compared with a simple saving;
3) The probability may be quite different from user to user; discussions about this subject long ago, in the days of the fair forums (where there were two Illy forums) seemed to arrive at the conclusion that the probability, at least to a large degree is determined by the error frequency of the OS and/or hardware; this error frequency is most likely to increase with time;
4) Any corruption anywhere within the preferences may require your resetting some or all preferences;
5) You may encounter issues where it is uncertain whether the solution is your resetting some or all of the preferences, but there is only one way to find out.
6) If you save a copy of the preferences and a) never need to use it or b) need to use it because you have lost the preferences (anyway), either way there is no harm done.
You may compare the probability of successfully saving of a correct copy of the preferences with Illy closed ONCE and the probability of successfully saving of correct preferences in the complex of procedures EVERY TIME you use and close down Illy.
If you ignore 2) and 3) and presume the same probability by doing either ONCE and call that success probability P, the success probability will be P multiplied by itself as many times as the preferences are saved, also expressed as P^N (the Nth power of P), when saved N times.
The probability of getting a correct copy of the preferences is P, whereas the probability of keeping the preferences correct after using Illy N times is P^N.
With a success probability of 0.999 (failure 1:1000), and using Illy 1.000 times (about once a day for about three years), you will have 0.999 and 0.37, in other words 0.1% probability of failure by saving a copy and 63% probability of failure by using Illy; in other words, a factor of 630:1.
With a success probability of 0.9999 (failure 1:10.000), and using Illy 1.000 times (about once a day for about three years), you will have 0.9999 and 0.99, in other words 0.01% probability of failure by saving a copy and 1% probability of failure by using Illy; in other words, a factor of 100:1.
Obviously, 2) and 3) point to a higher probability of ending with correct (copy) preferences by a simple saving outside Illy ONCE than that resulting from using and closing Illy ONCE, which changes the figures in favour of saving a copy, and 3) points to a possibly increased change caused by ageing.
In any case, it hurts to lose the preferences, not least if needleesly done; this shows the strength of 6).
It should be noted that if you encounter 5), you may move the preferences rather than just deleting them, as mentioned in Move the folder, thereby avoiding your having to sacrifice the preferences without knowing whether it is necessary; with a(n older) copy you will have two ways of recovering them. -
I want to update iPhoto but i am afraid it will delete my photos on my desktop
I have an old IPhoto, and it says i need to update it, but i am afraid it will delete my photos off my desktop.. will it?
Updating an application will not affect the any files off your your desktop. Have these photos on your Desktop been imported into your iPhoto Library? What system are you rurnning and what version of iPhoto do you currently have? What version do you want to upgrade to?
And, as Robert has already asked, do you have backups of your lPHoto library and hard dirve?

I googled a way to transfer my itunes over by using a flashdrive but my desktop broke down. i was wondering if it really will delete everything. if so is this there where icloud comes to my recue?
Welcome to the Apple Community Kate.
It will only delete your synced content, which you can then resync, it won't affect your iCloud data. -

Hi
My phone is stuck in restoring from icloud after 4 days. I have tried restarting it and if I try to cancel backup it says data will delete data
Please help!!!,There is no way out.
Restart the restore procedure and make sure you are connected to the wall power adapter and have Internet connection.
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
At the end it will ask whether you want to restore, choose iCloud backup. -
How can i get a pdf from my iPhone to my new macbook? I keep trying to sync but it says it will delete all the books/pdfs on my phone. I don't have this pdf on my computer and don't want to lose it. I am using the same iTunes account. Any suggestions?
Hello ashlyn888,
Based on your post it sounds like you would like to sync your iBooks content with your computer. I have located an article that may help you in this situation. While you can sync this data with your computer you can also use the sharing button to send PDFs using various sources:

I recently updated my iphone 5 to IOS 8.0.2 and now it wont turn on it just says to connect to itunes and when i do the only option it gives me is to restore iphone because it is in "recovery mode". It says it will delete all my media but i didn't do a back up and i don't want to lose my photos, what should i do? (I never used iCloud to back them up either).
If it's in recovery mode, the data is already gone. Why did you never back up your important data?

The pop up says
"Updating to iOS 5.1.1 will delete all of the apps and media, including iTunes Store purchases, on your iPhone. To preserve your content, apply this update on the computer where you sync apps, music videos, and photos.
Updating on this computer will only preserve contacts, calendars, text messages, and other settings. Please do not interrupt the update, which may take an hour or longer to complete. iTunes will verify the software update with Apple."
What do I do now? My only options on the pop up are cancel or update.After the update you sync your content back to your phone. It should all be in your iTunes library & thus there should be no issues putting it all back on your phone.

HT1386 "Updating to iOS 6.1.5 will delete all of the apps and media..." Why?
My daughter has a 4th gen ipod touch, still on iOS 4.3.5. It wasn't updated for such a long time because I had a space shortage on the computer on which it was always updated. I've recently increased the size of C: so now I could proceed to back up all the kids' ipods and bring them up to the latest OS.
I backed it up and Synced onto the computer that it has always been backed up to. When I try to update it, it gives me this warning:
"Updating to iOS 6.1.5 will delete all of the apps and media, including iTunes Store purcahses. on your iPod touch. To preserve your content. apply this update on the computer where you sync apps. music. videos. and photos."
This *really is* the computer on which all the backups and syncs had been done, but I think that I may have corrupted the apple files when I copied the image of the old C: drive onto the new hard disk.
The other two kids' ipod touches updated without any problems. This third one, however has the warning above.
How do I fix this problem?
By the way: Quad core PC with 4GB of RAM, 64-bit Windows 7, and iTunes 11.1.4.62.
Thanks.Do the followings to not lose anything. When you restore from backup as the article says, the iPod will also be updated

My ipod touch 4g was disabled yeterday, and i tried it so many times it say to connect to iTunes. I don't want to because all of the discussions I've read say it will delete all of my data. I have lots and lots of pictures and apps I don't want too lose. Some of them are very valuableto me. I didn't get the chance to turn iCloud back up on, and I really want to. is there any way i can restore my ipod without erasing all of my data. PLEASE HELP, I REALLY NEED IT! By the way my Sleep/Wake button and my volume buttons don't work, so I use assistive touch, my home button works though.
You cannot enable without restoring it and losing everything you have failed to save to your computer.
This is one of the many reason it is very important tostore everything on your computer/cloud service. Nothing should only be on the ipod. -

Why does Bridge Need Illustrator to Save as PDF compatible file?
1. Why does Bridge need Illustrator files to be saved as PDF files? "PDF Compatible File" ticked in the save menu.
2. Why does saving with this info take so long, even on decent fast modern systems?
3. Why does Bridge not consistently render the Illustrator files in FULL RESOLUTIONS, seemingly shooting for half resolution much of the time, and simply stopping at that?
4. Why does "clicking" on the preview inside Bridge bring up the full resolution?
5. How do I shortcut this process so that every file is previewed in Full RESOLUTION, instantly?
What is the point of Bridge? What's its reason for existence?
First time user of Bridge.Since someone is bound to say that this should be asked in the Bridge section... it already is. And has been referenced back over here.

Answer wherever you see fit, if you're up to the task of dealing with someone attempting to have a broader view, perhaps also suffering from somewhat objective analysis that sometimes contains direct criticism of the way Adobe does things.
