| I have bits of Adobe stuff in my Library going back to CS3. Who starts every update with a virgin system and hard drive? I still have working versions of CS5.5 apps because until recently I CS6 wouldn't run all of the plugins I have. I would give the error codes, but I have already read the dozens of related threads on the Adobe and Google search sites. Some of these errors go back to CS5 updates. None of them have provided a cure beyond erasing everything and starting over, which still doesn't work. That just results in a different error code. Plus, it takes forever to download and install all this stuff, and I have a dual T1 connection. FOREVER. I have tried this on a fairly new Macbook Pro and my main MacPro computer. Same deal. Look, I am no fan of the cloud because of exactly this kind of BS. Adobe isn't doing me any favors. I don't owe them anything. They sell (rent) me tools and I use them to make money. When their delivery mechanism is as buggy as this, they deserve to answer for it. I've been using Photoshop & After Effects since the early 90's. If there was a better alternative I would use them and forget about Adobe. Extremely frustrated today.
