Fireworks and Acrobat won't run CS4 & CS5

Long story, short version.  I have a brand new iMac, installed CS4 from scratch, and would get the Fireworks error.  Tried, uninstall and reinstall many times.. Said oh well, I want CS5 anyhow, so I bought the upgrade to CS5.  Used the Adobe Cleaner Scripts, removed EVERYTHING.  Installed CS5 Web Pro.  Still both Fireworks and Acrobat don't work.
Here is my initial thread that has lots of info on error dumps, etc.  Hoping someone here might have some ideas..
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/771506?tstart=60
I have called Adobe support and it was awful.. Did not get anywhere and it really seemed to me that they don't like Macs
Just want to throw an idea out there in case it triggers a thought.  I do have the new Office 2011 on my computer too.  I have disabled duplicate fonts and stuff like that.
I use fireworks and acrobat all the time, any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!!

Well like i mentioned and gave the link to my original post in the Fireworks forum.  I just did one test though and maybe that will be more information for someone else.
I just created a second account on my mac.  I logged out of my main one and then into the new one.  Both worked just fine, so the error pops up when its initializing the user files, and with the new user it works fine. 
Any ideas as to what might be wrong with my main user account to cause a problem?

  • CS 3.3 with Fireworks and Acrobat 9 Just Announced

    I just saw this. Those of us who have been waiting for Fireworks (or are about to fire some off) it's here. CS 3.3 also includes Acrobat 9.
    www.adobe.com

    As a recent (June 19, 2008) CS3 purchaser, the Adobe customer service folks sent me, at my request, an "updater" DVD with Fireworks and Acrobat 9.0 Pro for a fee of around $5.00 S&H. I'm not certain of the "cut-off" dates for this consideration. I had to submit, via pdf email attachment, a copy of my CS3 purchase receipt. Very pleased with their consideration and got my DVD in about a week. No install issues. Having registered and activated CS3 helped process, I believe.

    Upgrade to Leopard.  Better yet, Snow Leopard if your Mac is an Intel model (you don't say much about the computer which makes this hard to make suggestions).

  • Java JDK 7 u17 won't install and Eclipse won't run past boot logo.

    Java JDK 7 u17 won't install and Eclipse won't run past boot logo. Eclipse Classic used to work fine for awhile. I haven't used it for a month or two and tried to boot it, Eclipse won't run past boot logo. It looks like JDK is not even there anymore. JDK won't install successfully. I have Mac OS X 10.8.3.
    I tried removing Java, re-download JDK multiple times.. same results.

    Paul Adare is correct in saying that you cannot "upgrade" from 32-bit to 64-bit. You can, however, backup your files and reload them onto your PC.
    Given that you are able to boot Windows 7 after the failure to install Windows 10 Technical Preview, it is apparent that you are not formatting the drive during your clean installation. There are a number of potential issues an existing configuration can
    cause, such as preventing Windows Setup from registering boot files, modifying partitions, or moving an existing installation and data to the windows.old folder. I would recommend removing the partitions from your drive (note: this will erase any data remaining
    on the hard disk) during installation to ensure that Windows Setup has a fresh hard drive to install to. If you continue to experience errors, two other factors to take into consideration are:
    Does your system use a storage controller that requires loading a driver during Windows Setup?
    Is the hardware malfunctioning? Do the hard disk and memory pass testing software like Windows Memory Diagnostic or chkdsk?

  • I have repeatedly installed and uninstalled Microsoft Silverlight, I have followed every thing out there and uninstalled from various folders.  It still states the program is there and it won't run.  This is also happening with my coupon printer that word

    I have repeatedly installed and uninstalled Microsoft Silverlight, I have followed every thing out there and uninstalled from various folders.  It still states the program is there and it won't run.  This is also happening with my coupon printer that word

    Copied from a page that helped me:
    I followed someone else's advice and found all the silverlight files in "INVISIBLE FILES".
    In the Finder, choose File > Find or press Command (⌘)-F.
    From the far-left pop-up menu (labeled “Kind”), choose Other.
    In the list of search attributes, select the “File invisible” checkbox, and then click OK.
    In the related menu, choose Invisible Items.
    once loaded go to folder Private
    then to folder VAR
    then folder db
    then folder Receipts
    scroll to any com.microsoft.silverlight item and delete. there are a bunch of them.
    close, restart and install silverlight.

  • Acrobat won't run: "open another product" message. Still won't run

    All,
    I successfully installed Acrobat as part of CS4 Web Premium on a win7 64-bit system. Every time I try to run any Acrobat function like printing to pdf, openong a pdf, for example, I get a message that Acrobat was installed as part of a suite and I must start another part of the suite. I don't believe that this is the intended behavior - but if I am wrong let me know.
    in all cases Acrobat takes at least two tries to open a pdf. Acrobat won't allow me to print to a pdf, even though the pdf option is listed among my printers. I document with pictures just spun the Win7 wheel for a couple of hours with nothing done. (I had to CTRL-ALT-DEL out of both Lightroom and Acrobat.)
    I get this behavior even if Photoshop is already open, although I realize now that the Photoshop is CS5 and my only CS5 element (with its CS5 Bridge) among my CS4 modules.
    The main trouble is that starting another application doesn't "work" - I  just tried this agin, creating a quick Word doc and trying to print it  to pdf. This time I got a new message "...Acrobat is not activated."   along with the usual "Start another program in the suite..." Activation  is not on the Acrobat Help menu.
    I have a client that needs a pdf of a document made in Lightroom right away so this is so frustrating!
    Any suggestions?
    jonathan7007

    Bill,
    I tried a couple of phrases and couldn't find one that pulled up solutions to this dilemma. I am open to suggestions.
    I have had Adobe's tech support blow up my computer (well, not exactly blow it up, but cause me to have to reformat the whole darn thing...) so I chck here first. I also rarely can sit in my offfice for an hour or more on the phone to talk these things over with them.

  • Contribute "low on memory" and Acrobat won't redraw

    I have two issues that I believe may be related.  First here's my system information
    WinXP SP3
    Intel Core2Duo E6550 = (2.33GHz)
    3GB RAM
    GeForce 8600GTS 512 MB Video
    Running two 19" monitors, (at 1440x900 each)
    Creative Suite Premium 2.0 (InDesign CS2, Photoshop CS2, IllustratorCS2, Acrobat 7 Professional, BridgeCS2, GoLive CS2Version Cue is disabled.)
    Production Studio Premium 1.0 (Premiere Pro 2, Encore DVD 2, After Effects 7, Audition 2)
    Contribute CS3, (including Bridge CS3, but I don't use it, I use Bridge CS2 for everything).
    First Issue.  Intermittently, in both Adobe Reader 9, and Acrobat 7.0 pdf files that I have open will not display in the window properly, unless I reduce the size of the window to something quite small.  It will show the desktop in behind the window, or if I open a window on top, it shows that window even when I've moved it.
    The second problem is similar, but occurs in Contribute CS3 and is always accompanied by a "Your system is low on memory..." error, until I reduce the size of the Contribute window, at which point, it is so small that it becomes unuseable.
    The only other program that I have open at the time is Outlook 2007, with a couple of messages.
    As this is happening, I open the Task Manager, see that there is plenty of available Physical Memory, and the CPU Usage is very low, under 10%.  I've set my virtual memory paging file to Custom Size of 4591MB.
    The only way to fix it is to reduce the size of windows or close all the programs.  These two problems occur independently of each other.  Sometimes when I'm just trying to open a PDF file.
    3GB should be plenty to run Contribute and Outlook, or Acrobat and Bridge.
    What the heck is going on?

    Thanks for the reply.
    Yes I have tried that, but to no avail.  The crazy thing is that it only really happens after I've been working in Contribute for a while.  Sometimes an hour or more.  Then it just starts doing this.
    The redraw problem also affects other programs, that are not Adobe programs.  For example, when I open a Remote Desktop Connection to the web server where I am publishing, while this problem is occuring, the screen will not "draw" properly either.
    I have a feeling that there is something strange about how Contribute, and Acrobat, and Windows share the memory, either the system memory, or the graphics memory.
    Could this also be a problem caused by having both CS2 and CS3 programs installed?

  • I paid for limbo and it won't run. Can I get a refund?

    Didn't realize limbo won't run on my 2008 macbook.
    It's still a speedy machine, I don't understand why it's not supported.
    Anyway, I've spent the money now, can I get a refund do you think?
    Thanks,

  • Firefox 24 and 25 won't run on server identities?

    I downloaded the last update, 24, which worked fine on local identities. When I try to open it in a server/network identity, it never opens, just hangs - I tried opening in safe mode (opt key + open, choose safe mode) and it acts like it will open, but never loads, and I can't click any buttons on the toolbar (or I can click one, but nothing ever loads). Resetting doesn't work either. It does the same thing on all computers, only server identities.
    I've tried creating a new profile, deleting old profiles, changing places suffixes to ".old", deleting prefs file - nothing worked. Firefox never opens, so I can't do any of the support related to the toolbar.
    I think it's related to an add-on, because it first crashed when trying to find compatibility with add-ons. It won't run in safe mode, though, so I can't tell.
    My next step is going to be trying to find where all the add-ons are located, and delete them manually, but I'm not sure where to start.
    If anyone has any other advice, that would be great!

    Hi,
    Thanks, but it didn't work~~
    I tried to delete the extensions from the folder first, but when I tried to open firefox, it had the same problem.
    I actually removed both the Mozilla folder and the Firefox folder as a last resort, and it's still not working.
    The window pops up, with the "bookmarks and history system will not be functional... Some security software can cause this problem" error message. The "Learn More" button is not clickable.
    I've disabled all security software and even my firewall, and it's still happening. My extensions/addons are deleted.

  • Why did you quit supporting Mac OSX 10.4 ? I downloaded you update and it won't run.

    I accepted your last online upgrade request and it worked for basic browsing, but the Comcast mail page stopped working correctly (the buttons: Save as Draft, Delete, Add attachment, etc. are inactive).
    Thinking it was corrupted, I deleted the current version on my machine and installed the latest download and it tells me it won't run on this version of Mac OS.

    Firefox 3.6.23 is still supported secure and will work with OSX 10.4
    * see [[installing a previous version of firefox]]
    * download from http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all-older.html
    Note do NOT use any options that say delete user settings, you will loose all profile information for all normally installed versions of firefox, so that is pass words and bookmarks etc disappear.
    You mention Comcast
    Note IDvault sometimes provided by Comcast has been associated with Firefox crashes (bug 684748) consider
    * ensuring you have the latest version of that software if you use it <br/> (the problem may be solved in the latest versions)
    * disabling or uninstalling the software if it is a problem

  • The update didn't update; I downloaded the whole instead as instructed and it won't run. Now what?

    I am looking for advice: I wanted to update firefox - the updates (it described itself as 'security') failed. I looked on this website for advice. It said to download the whole version. I did this and the file won't run. I cannot update the browser or load on a new version.
    This is raising red flags in my brain (wrongly or rightly). I know of all sorts of things I could try but having had security issues recently, I would appreciate guidance / wisdom on the matter. I may be paranoid but it looks like there is something wrong.
    The old version of my browser is running ok for now.
    Please help.

    Try this:
    *Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Start the installation with a double-click on the desktop icon
    If you keep having problems then disable your anti-virus temporarily.

  • ITunes updated to 7.6 and now won't run....

    it said that the older version of iTunes could not be removed and now won't let me open the one that's on my computer.
    it says that "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed.".
    i tried reinstalling it from the site and it says the same thing, it couldn't remove the older version.
    Message was edited by: tator-tot

    I did a system restore under the accessiblity option under accesories in the start menu.
    It took a very long time but it at least let me get my itunes back with no errors.
    I'm not sure what the problem was but now it's working so i'm not complaining.
    I'm not updating to 7.6 until I absolutelly have to. Hopefully, they will work out all the kinks before I have to update to it.
