2018 CC Apps Compatibility with High Sierra - Can I Upgrade?

High Sierra and Adobe CC simply do not work.

All of my CC apps crash or don't open at all. When they do open, the application frame sometimes is invisible (Indesign) and you just get a blank screen until you go to the window and select Application Frame > Off. Bizarre.

I have downgraded the CC apps to 2017 versions and while this helps a little, there are still errors and crashes. I am now at the point where I will have to completely wipe the laptop and start fresh on Sierra since you cannot install a previous OS.

Really painful all this, and I'm not sure what is at fault - is it High Sierra or Adobe that's caused this nightmare?

FYI My system is:

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)

2.8 GHz Intel Core i7

16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

I am using an iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011) and had to revert back to El Capitan 10.11.6

Had to erase my entire drive and go back to factory installed OS then upgrade to my latest OS form my app store purchase BEFORE i made the mistake of upgrading to High Sierra. I HATED it!

Attempting to crop, resize or use any tool in Photoshop was ridiculously and painfully slow and Illustrator continually stopped responding. I could never open more than one app at a time. Forget using itunes, mail, calendar or ANYTHING else when attempting to use any of the CC apps.

Things are moving along nicely now with 10.11.6, however on another subject, I am a bit miffed that I can not download Pages or Numbers from the app store, since they both require OS of 10.12 or later.

I'd also love to hear from any of you NOT having problems running CC on High Sierra.

Thanks!

I have only updated Illustrator to CC 2018, and under the High Sierra OS it doesn't open at all, and the upgrade removes the Illustrator CC 2015.3 I was using before. Have been combing the web for fixes, but not sure what to do. I work from home as a freelancer, and this has the potential to sink me if not fixed before the end of the first quarter.

Just bought the Macbook pro 2017 that came with the touch bar and preloaded with high Sierra. Updated my CC apps (mainly photoshop, illustrator & indesign) and it's laggy as shit. Can someone from adobe advise what we should? Should I downgrade my OS back to Sierra or down grade my CC apps back to 2017? It's really a chore working with laggy apps!

I primarily work in Premiere and AE, but also use Photoshop, Lightroom and Illustrator a fair amount. So far I have had a few issues, but nothing that doesn't have at least a work around at the moment. My top two most annoying/frustrating issues so far have been with Premiere and AE.

1. Premiere: would crash when running on my MBPro with NVIDIA graphics cards. The fix was this was to switch rendering from OpenCL to Metal.  Adobe support said that they are working on a fix.

2. After Effects: issue with right click working when using multiple monitors. Temporary fix for this is to turn off using monitors as spaces in control panel. Yes this fixes the problem, however, this causes other annoying issues with my workflow.  Adobe support said that this has also been reported and that they are working on a fix.

I haven't had any issues with the other programs that I work with, but I haven't spent nearly as much time in them.

Hope this helps.

I bought a brand new MacBook Pro, it has High Sierra loaded, and Adobe CS is running HORRIBLY. I uninstallled Illustrator 2018 and installed 2017 and I'm experiencing the same issues — weird display glitches, the tools not registering when you click on them / I have to click the space bar to reset them back to whatever I clicked on... If anyone has any suggestions on how to work through this I'd be grateful, it's slowing down my process big time.

Not sure if you've updated your OS yet but i'm ready to throw my computer out the window! lol First I upgraded my LR from LR 4 to LR cc 2015.  It was working okay but slow, so I called adobe and she told me that my os was not compatible with the new LR CC and to update it.  So I think okay no problem.  It took 3 hours to update, which I did not read about or realize what a huge update this was.  After it was done, one of my EHD crashed.. or at least wasn't accessible.  I backed up my other and soon after that one crashed, thankfully I had purchased a new one and backed everything up.  As for the OS update, my computer is painfully slow.  Can't open LR without it freezing, can't open Firefox without it freezing, anything I do or type my the colorful wheel spins.  So after 2 EHD crashes, LR not even functioning for me and basically my computer not functioning I'm not sure what to do!  Is it my computer (imac late 2012 8gb ram), do i upgrade my RAM to 16gb?  Do I downgrade LR to LR 6?  I think I'll be taking everything into Apple when I have time. Adobe didn't help me at all! 

I had been running all of my Adobe CC 2018 apps on High Sierra 10.13.1 and they worked just fine! My computer automatically updated this weekend - there was a patch update apparently  now I’m on version 10.13.2 and NONE of my Adobe apps work now. They freeze upon start up and also cause my finder to freeze so then opening any files on my computer is useless. Then when finder freezes, it does not allow my computer to restart so I have to do a hard reboot which after 4 or 5 times also ends up corrupting with the hidden desktop file & the computer graphics start jumping around for no reason. HELP!

iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) Do not update! I have had to restart my machine 5 times this morning. Once one Adobe program (usually Photoshop) freezes then all of my Adobe programs freeze (Illustrator, InDesign, Bridge) Then if I am lucky enough to be able to force quit them they will not reopen, the icon just sits and bounces. After that I try to restart my machine and it won't even do that because it things that the Adobe products are still open. So I have to hard restart my iMac by holding the button. I have done this 5 times from 9am-noon. Very frustrating.

I upgraded today and everything Adobe is running SLOW like molasses in winter and I've had several programs quit for no reason.  My machine shut itself down and wouldn't recover for over 30 minutes. I thought the battery was dead but when I hit restart one more time It opened and had 97% battery. Nothing is working well.  Wish I had not upgraded.

High Sierra

CC 2018 for all adobe.

The worst problems are with Photoshop.

I am so frustrated.
