When your Adobe Creative Cloud won’t update or uninstall.

screen-shot-2016-09-13-at-3-45-43-pm

We had a problem recently where the Adobe Creative Cloud app on our newest Mac Pro and older iMac wouldn’t update or allow us to uninstall. Our guys tried everything and searched the web for answers on why we were having this issue. NOTHING.. After much frustration we finally bit the bullet and took our systems to El Capitan. As soon as the upgrade was complete Adobe Creative Cloud booted and updated solving the issue and freeing us from the nightmare. We wanted to pass this tip along to our fellow animator, editor and sound tech buddies so that maybe we can save you the headache we had. If you’ve held off on upgrading, it might be time..

 

(2010-2012) Mac Pro 12 Core overhaul.

Today on “This old Mac” One of our clients has us replacing parts in a 2010-2012 12Core Mac Pro.

Graphics Card, USB3/ESATA Cards, Ram and an Internal RAID.  It’s also got an SSD main drive. This thing is pretty sweet.

In this time of 5K iMac and NEW Mac Pro it’s nice to see someone investing in an old school workhorse like this one. Especially if

you want to run legacy software like Final Cut 7 and the old Production Bundle.
