Does Adobe Master Collection CS4 work on Quad processors?

I am trying to buy a new computer (laptop)and I currently own Adobe Master collections CS4 and I would like to know if anyone has installed this on a quad processor and what graphic card will work fine with it? Also what processor speed would I need on a quad processor.
Thank you.

neither are much of an upgrade from what you have.
the new i5/i7 mobile are not all that.
here are some benchnarks, while for audio they translate to video as well.
GHz is still king for many things

the dual core 620m pretty much beat the Q820.
the older T9600 (same family you have with the P8700) beat them all until the hardest hitting (lower buffer harder hitting)
only laptop upgrade thats worth it would be a laptop that has a desktop core i7 920 in it.

  • "Mac OS X Yosemite ver. 10.10"とAdobe MASTER COLLECTION CS4の不具合

    失礼致します。
    "Mac OS X Yosemite ver. 10.10"のPCを購入しました。
    そこに私の所有している、Adobe MASTER COLLECTION CS4をインストールしたところ、
    ソフトは起動して従来通り動作したのですが、ショートカットキーがまったく機能しません！
    このままでは、不便でなりません。
    Adobe側で、何らかのサポート処置はなされていないものなのでしょうか？
    "CS4"ユーザーは、流石にもう見切られたのでしょうが？
    折角、出費し、新しい環境にしたのにがっかりです。
    どなた様か、ご教示のほどよろしくお願いいたします。

    CS4はすでにサポート終了しているソフトウェアですし、
    どちらかというとYosemiteの後方互換が低いのが動作しない主な原因になりますので、
    正常動作しなくても自己責任の範疇になってしまいます。
    Adobeとしては対応しているバージョンであるCreative Cloudを出していますので、
    そちらに移行するのがひとつの方法になります。
    もうひとつはYosemiteの過去互換を上げたアップデータを提供するように

  • Adobe master collection cs4 setup.exe installation problem

    This is frustrating.
    I have 30 day trial DVD from adobe, it is Master Collection CS4 and can't install it. Double clicking on setup.exe goes nowhere, just no response at all. You can see and hear DVD working, but nothing is happening, no response. I've been searching on forums, everywhere, no solution. Tried msicuu2.exe, also tried WinCS4Cleanupscript. Even registry cleaning tools. No progress.
    It is HP Pavilion dv7, core 2 duo, 2.2GHz, 4GB ram, 320 GB Hard Drive, Windows Vista SP1 (fresh instalation).
    Also tried with all current (july 2009) microsoft updates.
    Obviously because it is a trial version I can't contact adobe support.
    It is strange, I was able to install it on my old Windows XP laptop, but I can't do it on vista.
    Strange is also that I can install separatelly 30day trials of Photoshop CS4 and After Effects CS4 from adobe.com.
    As I said, this is fresh instalation, so there was no previous adobe product installed at all.
    Please help.

    yes I expected as much.  But I wasn't getting any good answers on vista either.  I have several users who will be moving to 7 in the fall and need to see if it will work.  thanks for the response.
    Since my last post, I may have found the answer (no thanks to Adobe).  Most of us having this issue are in using fresh installs of our OS.  Since the setup is very heavy Java, I downloaded the Java Runtime from Sun and POOF I can install now.  The error above went away and the install is running.  InDesign failed, but everything else has installed so far.  One would think that if the installer is so dependant on a Java VM being in place they would check for it and either prompt the end user or if an error occurs, post that in the error message.  But I have noticed that most of my Adobe problems in the past do not have good QA or error message support.  Usually I get a generic error message and am left to hunting for some kind of answer.
    So to those who are having this issue.  Load or re-load your Java VM and try again.  That helped me.

  • Adobe Master Collection CS4 and Mac OSX 10.5.8

    hi folks,
    we have just deployed two new Mac labs with various multimedia software applications installed. We have encountered serious problems with Adobe software, which effectively makes the applications unusable. The issue seems to be replicated across many of the CS4 applications, including Photoshop, Flash, After Effects, etc. Given that many of you have labs of similar configurations, I was hoping that you may be able to assist/advise.
    Basically when a student opens an image in one of these applications that program comes to a halt trying to open the file.
    the lab configurations are as follows:
    Mac 22"
    4G RAM
    Leopard, 10.5.8
    Authentication performed using Active Directories
    User home directory issued using SMB
    Home directory size ranges from 500MB to 1.5GB (different students have different allocations).
    Network is CAT6a with 1Gb Switch
    Has anyone experienced this before?
    thanks in advance,
    Dave

    I've heard all sorts of reports that using home directories not on the local machine does not work. I do not know if it is supposed to or not. Since Adobe software isn't licensed for use on a server, it could be contributing to the problem. It is possible that it might work with specially licensed versions, but not retail versions. I think you'll have to give Adobe a call. The retail version is licensed to be install on two computers for a specific user.

  • I have Adobe Master Collection CS4 and my Contribute won't open showing error 148:3

    Please help with CONTRIBUTE Error 148:3

    When something works one day, but not the next, then something has changed. You task is to find out what has changed.
    It can be something behind the scenes, like an OS update, that kills the video, or the audio driver. It can be major, like installing new software, that does something to existing software.
    First thing that I would do would be to get the very latest video and audio drivers for your system.
    If that does not work, then you might wish to look at Restore Points, going back to when it last worked.
    There are some other things that might give you a clue as to what is happening, when PrPro does not open. This ARTICLE might give you such a clue, or clues. Or, it might not, depending on what is causing the failure to launch.
    One other thing to look at, and think about is what is PrPro trying to load. VST's (often added by other programs, especially Audio programs) can bring PrPro to its knees. Watch the little line of black text, as PrPro starts to load. What is the last line, before it disappears? You might have to point your video camera at the screen to capture what is being loaded, as it can go by quickly.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Adobe Master Collection Cs4 Win Vista

    Hello World :).
    Hope you can help me.
    Yesterday ive unistall all my CS3 Suite , and later i try to installs Cs4 , but cant--> "Critical Error Was Found in the setup , please see the setup log for details".
    Ive used cs3 clean and cs4 clean and the problem is the same.
    Ive Tried to use loganalyzer but nothing was found.
    Thanks very much!

    Assuming that you have done the obvious things such as turning off virus protection programs and running with Administrator privileges when installing the software, at this point you should contact Adobe Technical Support directly. There is no charge for assistance with installation issues.

  • What is the best Dell PC configuration to run Master Collection CS4

    Hi
    What is the best Dell Computer/PC configuration to run Adobe Master Collection CS4 smoothly. Also please mentione about the experiences with Dell(if possible with, Dell Australia) I am using a Dell Dimension 8400 bought in 2005 (2.8GHz, 2 GB DDR2 RAM, 1 TB HDD Capacity)
    Ur help is much appreciated. Thx
    Pushpa

    Dell does not have any sensible 'best PC configuration', not even when you go for the best they offer, which is over $ 14 K and is still lacking. But you have a power cord free. However, if you opt for redundant power supply, you need to choose a second power cable. Strange they did not include that in the option for redundant PSU's.
    Dell is only good if they offer a system that meets your requirements fully. If you need anything else than their standard configuration, better go elsewhere or build it yourself. It is pretty easy to build a system for less than the price of a Dell that outperforms it by a wide margin, because their BIOS is crippled and they charge the most extravagant prices for everything not in their standard offer.
    If money is no object, try to configure a dual W5590 system with at least 24 GB ECC RAM and at least an Areca raid controller and 8 disks in raid3. But with Dell, if at all possible, the price will be around $ 20 K US or more.

  • Adobe Master Collection CS 4 Won't Register (Windows 7 RC1)

    Hey,
    I have following problem:
    I installed Windows 7 RC 1 (64-bit version)
    I can't register Adobe Master Collection CS4. I retreived the key from licencing.adobe.com with our University account, but no help.
    I asked even my friend to read if I got it right from a screenshot I sent him, that it's not my eyes.
    I copypasted the key, but Adobe Master CS4 still refuses to register. It's quite all right for now, since I don't need Adobe products right now, but I know I will need in a while.
    Any help with this? Our reseller didn't know how to help.
    Works wonders in Vista (32-bit that I use as well).
    Thanks for suggestions.

    @John: No, I'll probably never, ever capture live video.
    @Ann: No, I was just trying CS 4 out to see if it's worth it for this Win 7 laptop. I think I'll skip the CS 5 and the CS 5.5 series and go for the CS 6 series.
    P.S. I seriously don't think the CS 4 series is worth it for this computer (Acer).
    P.S.2 Also, from the wiki, I learned that in CS 6 series, Encore is not a stand alone, separate applicatiuon in this suite, but is incorporated as part of the CS 6 PPro application. Now I understand why I couldn't find a separate CS 6 classroom in a book for encore on barnes and noble's website (even though I kept searching for it at B&N's website earlier today).
    P.S.3 Also I understand that CS6 master collection is the last such suit to be released, and the next versions of CS after this one is to be Creative Cloud - where you'll have to pay a monthly sunscription fee.in order to keep using it.
    And furthermore, I discovered that in the CS6 PPro classroom in a book, it has 18 PPro chapters, and a bonus chapter 19, the encore chapter, so this would be just a total of 4 cs6 classroom in a book to get, as opposed to the CS4/CS5/CS5.5 classroom in a books (PPro, PS, AE, SB/Aud, and En).

  • Adobe Master Collection CS5.5 upgrade...if already upgraded one element

    I have Adobe Master Collection CS4 but could only affort to upgrade Premiere Pro to CS5.5 since the CS4 version was so buggie it was useless and I needed it for a job that came in.  I would like to upgrade the balance of my software programs to CS5.5 now but don't want to pay for the Premiere Pro  upgrade again since I already purchased it.  Is this possible to do with the bundle upgrade?

  • Adobe Master Collection CS3

    Are Adobe Master Collection CS3 work`s on 64 bit Windows?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the GREAT info!!! Just what was looking for. I probably will go with an HP d5000t since someone else on another post is using one. It is custom built to my specs, can go to 8GB RAM, and support 64 Vista. I want a high powered graphics card, but I worry about power supply.
    As for crashes and other mishaps, I tried to burn a 1-hour DVD out of Encore. It took 2 1/2 hours and got to the very end of the burn process, then froze up. The same thing happened on another computer, so it is software related. Also in Encore, I accidently imported an HD menu (Party Menu HD) into a DV project. From then on it caused numerous crashes "on both PCs". Says it is a corrupted file and wants me to delete it from the project. It will not clear or delete, and even pops up after opening new or archived projects. I finally just got it to burn all the way through after removing a slideshow from the project, but the currupted file is still there even after deleting the 3.0 presets and library folder.
    I have Procoder 3 for batch conversions, which is awesome! It has a plug-in for CS3 Premiere, but I use the standalone as well. I wonder if it's causing any of my issues?
    Premiere seems to work okay. Plays back poor quality un-rendered video. Audio is a big problem in Premiere. Editable multi-knob effects like compressors and EQ dump their presets in the middle of an edit. I guess they're called VST plug-ins? You know, if I tweek the preset values and then try to "reset" back to the original, it will set the knob settings to bizarre values.
    Soundbooth works well, but haven't done too much on it. I hate having to go to another application. I start to lose track of files after they have been extracted from video. I need to come up with a renaming plan. When I try to "Edit Original" in Premiere, a video of still image file, it opens in Windows Media Player instead of the appropriate CS3 app. I don't know how to set that up.
    I don't understand Bridge, although I like that it plays files in its own interface and I can get to tutorial videos. Apart from that, I prefer Windows Explorer for finding and moving files. I have not touched Version Cue from CS2 or CS3.
    I like Encore and find it much more user-friendly than previous CS.
    I opened up After Effects once - and never again, not on this PC. Even a single video file on the timeline, it barely played back - something like a frame a second. I though the computer was going to explode!
    Photoshop seemed okay but I did nothing other than simple fixes to Encore menus. I have not tried to work any other apps because I'm afraid of an urecoverable situation.
    By the way, my "other PC" is a Newtek Tricaster. ALso about 3 years old or more. It seems a little more stable than the Sony VAIO, and a good backup, but I'm taxing it too much with CS3 on top of its own stuff.
    I am looking to sell the Tricaster if anyone is interested. I have no use for it these days.
    I did not originate this post, so forgive me for being so wordy. I did start another thread:

  • Part Numbers for Master Collection CS4

    Hi there,
    I'm really sorry for asking what is a very basic question, however I was wondering if anyone knows the Adobe part number for the UK full retail Adobe Master Collection CS4? I'm thinking about it second hand however I want to make sure that the software is legitimate and licensed for use in this country. I have Googled this but, suprisingly, didn't find any results which I'd consider to be a bit odd.
    The part number of the product I'm considering buying is: 65025303
    Thanks for any guidance you can offer!
    Regards,
    Stu.

    Thanks for the information - I was quite surprised that the part numbers weren't available online anywhere. I contacted the seller who informed me the software was purchased in the UK, however the box said it was made in the US and I understand the UK releases say they're made in Ireland. The seller didn't confirm where the item was purchased from, so I decided against it. There was definitly something a little suspicious about the deal.

(see FCP X)..
    good luck with apple dude..
    Where is the Apple problem? I have CS4 and CS5 running perfectly fine on my Macbook Pro. Installed 5 after Lion upgrade. Worth every cent. Adobe did have some catching up to do with Lion but with the CS5.5 update all runs fine. But not yours. So it is a problem with the Lion OS? You say you have been with Adobe since 2005. So you would be aware of all the other issues that Adobe had catching up with past Oss in Mac and Windows then. They get it right, but it is up to them. It is not up to Apple, nor Microsoft for that matter, to run around and check that every software developer in the world is running their business properly.
    And what has politics got to do with anything. Some people just have to blame Software for their poor Hardware maintainence of failure of the same.
    <The only think I can really do is to go back on my old windows...give back this orrible lap top and ask for my money back!>
    Great suggestion. You should go with that one, but good luck getting a refund.
