How can I get Photoshop CS4 to work now that I have CS6 (which I dislike for many reasons), on the s

I have recently purchased CS6 Mac, and now that it's on my computer CS4 won't work. Adobe told me to post the question on this forum because they refuse to provide any tech support for CS4 or earlier versions of PS now that 6 is out.
Also, they won't provide any help regarding the fact that all my images from CS4 open at 25% instead of 100% which they did in CS4. They say I just have to highlight the 25 and type in 100. Needless to say that is absurd and a big time waster.
Any help is appreciated. OS mountain lion on a mac mini, also new.
Thanks,
bonnie

HI and thank you both for your help. Here is the screen shot. I don't know if you can see that there is actually an image open. It's a business card so it's small to begin with, but this is NOT how things opened in CS4.
The percentage in the lower left cannot be seen because the window is too large and even though I quite the program, it still opened as large as when I closed it. But it was something like .38%
How do I get it back to normal working size?
Another thing I dislike is that when I do a screen shot there is no way to save it without first clicking the red 'close this' button and then reopening it and using 'save as' to type in the correct name. If I use command s I just get 'untitled with a number'. It's a lot of unnecessary steps. Also, is there no other way to save a screen shot other than as a tif and then reopening it to save it as a jpg?
The cyan lines seemed to have disappeared when opening the other images. This version is making me nuts. That's why I want my CS4 back and operational.
ALSO, I want my brushes that I have collected over the years... they didn't make it over from the dying Mac Pro to this Mac Mini. They are all in CS4. How do I do that?
That's a good beginning for why I don't like it.
Thank you,
bonnie

How can I get my Adobe Reader to recognize that I have purchased the PDF Pack?

I have just purchased sthe PDF Pack so I can convert a PDF to a Word document. The Adobe Reader shows that I have signed in, but when I try to convert the PDF to Word, it asks me to Subscribe Now.

Please try again and let me know if you still have the same issue.

How can I get Photoshop CS4 to open?

I just got the Adobe Production Suite CS4 Student Edition, I installed it onto my computer (Windows XP Media Center Edition), All of my programs run great except for Photoshop. When I try to open Photoshop it gets to the building twain portioin of the startup and then an error pops up stating that Photoshop has encountered a problem and needs to close, so I have yet to succesfully open photoshop, how might I fix this problem?
P.S. I have already installed the Patch 11.01 and i have alreadey updated my graphics card.

Try disabling the Twain plug-in by placing a Tilde (~) in front of it.
It's in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Plug-Ins\Import-Export

How can I get Photoshop Elements to import photos that it wrongly indicates are wrong or in catalog?

Had 17,000 photos on harddrive before installing Photoshop Elements 11 today. Had them well organized in a number of folders under My Pictures. PS found and imported only 467 photos. I tried Search, Browse, and import Files; was able to highlight folders and individual photo files. When I clicked Get Media, it processed for 20 seconds and came back with message that "Files are not in correct format or are already in the catalog." In fact, they are in the correct format (jpg - able to easily view with other programs) and they are NOT visible in the catalog. I went into Control Panel and enabled the Watch service, listed all of the files that PS had not imported from, and still cannot show more than 467 of my photos. Very frustrating, any suggestions? Running Win 7 on 6-months old Sony that plays Blue-Ray, with 8 GB RAM and quad core Intel processors.

This forum is amazing - thanks to all who responded over the weekend. For future users, some replies I found helpful: 1. allow a lot of time for the cataloging process. I had not realized it would be such a slow and incremental process but a day later it is continuing to add to the catalog - am now up to a couple thousand in the catalog, 2. turning off Organize and Stack visually-similar, and the corrective functions during the initial process speeds things up, 3. go into Control Panel, Administrative, Services and activate the Photoshop Elements watch function as soon as you install Elements, 4. it was helpful to repair/optimize, and 5. if you realize it is really messed up, uninstalling Elements and re-installing may work better than lots of little tweaks and fixes. Now if I can just figure out how to get photos ordered by actual date taken rather than random future dates that my camera or previous version of Elements 8 apparently assigned....

How can I get back my Word docs now that Pages will not open them?

How can I retrieve my Word docs now that Pages will not open them in Mavericks. I have a brand new iMac with my evolving manuscript for a book transsferred from my now defunct MacBook Pro by external drive. Pages tells me that "PowerPC apps are "no longer supported" and Mavericks will not open Microsoft Office, though it is still in Applications. Would really appreciate ANY help!

You will have to have an app that will open them first, you can upgrade to Office for Mac 2011 which is an Intel based app then open the docs and retry. Your docs were created with extremely old version of Office for Mac, version 2004!
Another possiblity is using a web based compatible MS Office for Mac app and see if it will open your doc and then save it, then attempt to re-open in Pages.

How can I get a list of all apps that I have ever downloaded?

I understand that I can go the the iTunes account info, but the information is presented in a format that is plain unusable.
Is there a way I can view this information and compare it to the apps that I currently have on my system?

Itunes>Store>View My Account>Purchase History.
That's about it unless you've saved the emails you get every time you make an itunes purchase.

How can I get bookmarks from my laptop now that the motherboard is dead?

Laptop motherboard died - a friend transferred my files onto an external hard drive including my backed-up Firefox bookmarks, but (sadly) the last time I backed those up was 6 months ago. At least I have those on my new laptop now, but I'd *love* to get my most current bookmarks back - the ones I had on my laptop when the motherboard died. Is this possible, or are they gone forever? Thanks!

You will need to be able to access the files on the old hard drive, so hopefully your friend put that drive in a USB enclosure so you can still access the files on that old drive.

How can I clean out my Powerbook G4 now that I have sold it?

I have sold my G4, and want to leave no personal information behind. I have a Leopard disk, but when I insert it, it gets ejected.... Thanks, Bill

As you have posted in the PB 15" Aluminum forum (which models came with 10.3 or 10.4) we must assume that the Leopard disk you refer to came from elsewhere.
Also presumably you mean Leopard (10.5) and not Snow Leopard (10.6) which won't run on a PB G4.
Is it a retail copy of Leopard (for any compatible Mac) or a model specific version that came bundled with another Mac? If the latter that is likely to be causing the problem.
With an install disk that will run your PB you could use Disk Utility to zero the HD and then reinstall a new OS.

HT201413 I have restored and updated my ipod from recovery mode however I still have the usb cord and itunes icon on the ipod when it is switched on. How can I get my ipod to work again?

I have restored and updated my ipod from recovery mode, however I still have the usb cord and itunes icon on the ipod when it is switched on. How can I get my ipod to work again? I have updated and restored 5 times! When connected to itunes it only shows the summary page saying ipod in recovery mode.

Fixed it!
1. Made sure itunes software was up to date
2. Pressed and held 'home' button and 'on-off' button at the same time for about 10 seconds till ipod reset (I hadn't done this step previously)
3. Connected to itunes
4. Pressed restore and update ipod
Update successful and ipod taken out of recovery mode

How can i get fallout 2 to work

How can I get Fallout 2 to work on my mac book pro. I just got my computer and the graphics are all messed up. I tryed installing it on a friends computer and it worked. He has a mac book pro that is only about 8 months old. Why wont it work on mine?

Ask your fellow MBP owners -
MacBook Pro
http://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro
I hope none of you are getting it off torrents, always trouble in that dept.
Maybe it needs a patch for yours and ATI 6xxxx mobility.
It helps to know the specs, and model number (17"? etc)
http://support.apple.com/specs/#macbookpro
Graphics and video support
AMD Radeon HD 6490M graphics processor with 256MB of GDDR5 memory on 2.0GHz configuration; or AMD Radeon HD 6750M graphics processor with 1GB of GDDR5 memory on 2.2GHz configuration
Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 384MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory5
Automatic graphics switching
Dual display and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on an external display, both at millions of colors
so it could be getting messed up with using the Intel graphics - for all I don't know - or you have 6490M with just 256MB

How can we get help/advice amoungst each other? I have questions

How can we get help/advice amoungst each other? I have questions which might not be bug related and thought it would be nice if we could bounce questions off each other.
Example:
Why is my Reflow sample behaving like this?
Should I have some kind of settings set so things don't get all weird?
I didn't set any breakpoints yet, but things are going weird.
Image attached! Any insights?
Thanks.

You can post questions here too. If they are design questions if people know the answer they can respond too.
For this particular issue, it does look like a design problem. From the screen shots, I'm guessing that the light gray box is using negative top margin to overlap the darker dray box. I think for this change the dark gray box to use height:auto and add a padding-bottom to it for the current space below the text. That way when the text starts to push down there will be a constant amout of space from the bottom of the text to the bottom of the dark gray box and that will push the light gray box down as well.

How can I get elements 11 to work with 16 bits photos?

In the expert mode of Photoshop Elements 11, I can only work with 8 bits photos. How can I get Elements 11 to work with 16 bits photos?

No, you can still buy photoshop cs6 (perpetual license) if one doesn't want to subscribe to the cloud version (photoshop cc version 14)
Either way is expensive compared to photoshop elements.

I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the MacBook Pro and connected to the TVs Component and Audio in ports.

Will not work. To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported. The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.
