Nothing seems apparent in activity monitor, but I've started putting on sleep mode between uses rather than having the screen saver kick-in cos that seems to freeze, and it's always easy to wake up & not locked up again. It couldn't be something as simple as the screen saver, surely! I had a...

Thanks. I've tried a few things such as resetting SMC but I'll give this a go too.

My iMac keeps locking up. After a restart, I get about 40 minutes before the spinning pizza of doom appears, or the cursor still moves around freely but I can’t click between browser windows. It’s like it’s trying to peform a task in the background that I am unaware of. He’s quite an old model...

I use Photoshop, Illustrator. InDesign & Dreamweaver mainly & like to have Flash too cos I used to use for graphic & audio content. So I kinda do!

This is just a rollover with the only clickable area in red bottom left. I only really use rollovers for my retouching work, but I guess I'll need to start asking people if they can see both original and retouched by rolling over or the content won't even make sense!

I do need to consider some sort of overhaul, but I have thousands of files that have just grown 'organically' since 2017, so it's kinda daunting. I will investigate, so thanks . . . and hopefully you can at least see this link? My latest upbeat gif: http://flying-colours.me.uk/hometart.gif ;–D

Yes, and my Squarespace site does that! https://www.amandasgallery.me.uk I just did my personal site as all pixels so it wouldn't fall to bits like my first Dreamweaver & Flash site did 20 years ago when I was 'winging it' having learned only from manuals. I SO respect what web designers do cos...

I know . . . and it's as clunky as ever! But I'm not a web expert, just a glorified pixel pusher/Photoshop artist who needs to include work on websites. You had no response from the link tho? That's very odd cos I get around 30,000 hits a year and everyone I speak to has access to any link I...

No work at the mo . . . I just maintain 4 websites including a gallery of over 500 gifs I make in Photoshop (http://flying-colours.me.uk/gifsindex2021.html) for fun so need Dreamweaver too. Pesky pandemic! :–(

I've just been keeping the wolf from the door for a little bit longer as I need to pay for building repairs... pesky bad weather! But always intended to get the whole suite, and just worked out that I can afford it in a month or so. Hurrah! But I appreciate all advice given. ;–D

I will actually need the whole suite if I can't use any of CS6! Thanks.

Really? That would be amazing cos I thought it was £50 a month. Thanks ;–D

I’m looking for advice on upgrading my OS to still use CS6 with cos I can’t afford Adobe Creative Cloud at the moment. I’m on an iMac (around 6 years old) & still running High Sierra cos I understood I would no longer be able to run Photoshop with Mojave, so Catalina would probably kill it...

Thank-you. And having been all Apple since the early nineties cos it was the industry standard in my line of work at the time, I'm getting more & more irritated with little things I never used to come across, and just got rid of my iPhone as it was such a nightmare it was practically unusable...

I can no longer do a search on the desktop, it jumbles up my Photoshop layers & some don't even display so I think they're missing, when I upload/overwrite an edited image to website & refresh, it doesn't show the changes... & that's just 3 off the top of my head. Not sure about next upgrade to...
