I've been searching the forums and Google for what seems like weeks trying to make sure that everything is going to be compatible with High Sierra before I pull the trigger and upgrade. All of the threads are clogged up with people using old version of either CS or CC before the latest app releases. So the question I and everyone I know wants to know is:
Are the 2018 CC apps that Adobe just released compatible with iOS 10.3 HIGH SIERRA? Should I Upgrade if I have a CC all apps membership?
My goto apps are: Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign & Premiere. Can I make this happen?
In response to the issue of updating Yosemite to High Sierra in order to access the Adobe PS 2018...I am not going to do so. I have two computers. MacBookPro 2014 10.10.5 and A HP desktop. The update
I like that idea of upgrading the CC2017 to CC2018 before upgrading the OS to High Sierra but I was unable to do that as mine came with High Sierra. Currently my 2018 Premiere, Encoder and Photoshop seem to be working without crashing. I am surprised at how long it takes to import a project to Media Encoder so much that I almost force quit it due to my loss of patience and my believing its stuck. Often after a Force Close the project loads up faster. So for now I have no major complaints but it would be nice to not have to use Encoder 2018 and go to Encore CS6 sometimes (missing the DVD codec and it cannot be loaded due to no support for High Sierra). To make matters worse ... Apple is Beta releasing the newest OS Mojave! I believe Adobe might want to up its game on the Mac OS support now or we are going to be in big trouble. I may have to install Windows in my Mac and jump ship to Corel and Toast because I have seen some amazing 3.5 hour videos put on a single layer DVD that almost rival my dual layer DVDs. Something is missing here Adobe.
I installed High Sierra on my MacBook Pro 2015, and then updated Adobe CC to 2018. It works just fine. I am hesitant to do the some thing on my iMac 2017, even though it has a Fusion Drive and not the SSD.
Interesting!!?? I have a 2015 iMac 27" Desktop, and after I installed High Sierra I had nothing but problems with plug-ins in Photoshop and keyboard commands that don't work. I guess you just lucked out.
Really? Have you tried the liquefy tool? It doesn't work. Have you tried to use any of the NIK suite of plug-ins? They work, but when you click DONE, it dumps you out of Photoshop. Have you tried to create a new Adjustment Layer in Luminar? Can't do it. I don't know how you can say there are no problems with Photoshop and High Sierra - unless you're running some really early version of Photoshop.
I have upgraded to High Sierra 10.13.1 and I am still having the InDesign incompatibility issue with our site license (we have 2 computers on the license). When one team member makes an edit to an InDesign on their computer the other team member cannot open it on the other computer (Error14 message).
Very sorry that I upgraded before discovering this thread.
Upgrading a perfectly working operating system to a new one that ends in .0 or .1 can break things. That's why I set aside a backup Mac with 10.13 until I am very sure I can move over.
Yesterday 1/25/18 I upgraded to High Sierra on my retina imac with 32 gigs of ram. Now premiere runs choppy with the footage lagging behind. I upgraded premiere same problem. Unuseable.... Customer support at Adobe is almost non existent. Only user comments. Any suggestions?
I would love to know this as well. Also, are any of you using SSD? I have Fusion drive at work, but SSD at home. Do any of you know if the CC apps are compatible with APFS?
I guess it depends on the upgrade scenario. I just upgraded to High Sierra but before doing so, I upgraded Adobe CC to the latest possible version. Now I'm on High Sierra running the following apps with no issues:
Photoshop
Illustrator
InDesign (launched with interesting error messages but went away after relaunch)
I have the same laptop and after upgrading to High Sierra: Adobe Acrobat Pro issue, resolved after 3 weeks of back and forth with Apple and Adobe; now InDesign won't start, waiting for Adobe support to call back (24-48 hrs) and on a side note, the EFI print drivers for our high-end Xerox won't be up to date for 3-4 weeks and the icons on my dock were not staying in place after restart. That's fixed now with Apple support. So, if you want to go for High Sierra set aside some hours for trouble-shoots make sure your phone has enough battery charge, get you some snacks and learn some deep breathing yoga techniques to keep calm. And may God have mercy on your soul.
I have MacBookPro 10.10.5 2014 retina 15" laptop. I have a CC membership and use LR and PS which is not up to 2018 standards due to my computer OS. I've read the posts on this thread. I'm tempted to go ahead and upgrade to High Sierra, but I want to know if anyone backed up the entire OS system on Time Machine?
I recommend Carbon Copy Cloner to image your old system and data before you upgrade. It will make it far easier to downgrade should HS not work out. Time Machine won't do that.
Yes, no matter what you use for a backup make sure you back it up. I did, thank God and after all the drama, from going to High Sierra, a high level Apple engineer recommended I go back to my prior system off the backup. After I did that I reloaded the 2018 CC and everything worked fine. I have that MacBook Pro with a new employee and they haven't had any problems. We'll upgrade when Acrobat and Apple have finally fixed their compatibility. I am using a new laptop and it is running 10.13.1 without any problems so I think this has been a hardware issue. I'm not an engineer and I couldn't tell you a bit from a bat. I just go off experience both mine and the people I know using these operating systems. Backup.
Haha, maybe the last version he could find illegitimately. I am updating my home system this evening. Not in front of it at the moment but it is a 27" Retina w/ 1 TB SSD (I believe late 2015). Still nervous about with the Fusion boot drive at the office. Will report back if I have any issues with CC. I use the home machine for Steam as well, so I will mention if I have any issues there. If everything goes well I will be updating the other system next week (late 2013 27" 1TB Fusion)
