Installed CS5 now CS4 projects don't work

Further to an assurance in another thread that CS4 and CS5 could happily co-exist I installed the CS5 Master Collection full version on my Win7Pro 64 system.
Now I have just opened a project in CS4. The media is all marked offline. When I try and re-link it I get an error message "File Format Not Supported"...
The original files in this project were M2T and .MP4 from Sony Z5 and EX1 respectively.
Any ideas about how to get this all working again? I did make an image of my system file before installing CS5 so can always revert to that, but I would like to be able to use CS5 as well as revisiting CS4 projects!
Just to add then even when I create a new CS4 project try and import either M2T or BPAV (haven't tried any other formats) I still get this "File Format Not Supported" error message. So it looks like CS5 has hosed my CS4's ability to import media! There must be an easy fix to this.... and yes, Premiere 4.2.1.
Cheers

Mark,
Sorry that we did not have a quick and easy answer for you.
At least with Harm's reporting, it confirms my thoughts that the co-existence of the two versions should not be an issue.
Over the decades, Adobe has been great about this. The only two instances of problems, that I can recall was with the CS2 Production Studio programs (all of them), if one later installed PrElements 4 - CS2 Production Studio got hosed, but was easily handled with a quick Repair Install of each program in the suite - took me about 45 mins. total. Obviously, Adobe had not anticipated a user with CS2 installing PrE 4, but by the time that I did, they had a KB Article on the issue. The other was if a use had PrPro CS3 installed, then installed CS4, and later uninstalled CS3 - it took some necessary elements form CS4, so again the Repair Install was the easy trick. Otherwise, no one issue that I know of. On one machine, I had PS 4, 5, 7 and CS for various reasons. No issue. Same for several versions of AI, both PageMaker and InDesign, and on the list goes. No issues.
Good luck, and hope the Project goes well, and that you'll get CS5 running smoothly,
Hunt

I have unlocked my iPhone 3G with Vodafone via iTunes, but now the downloaded apps crash immediately when opened. I've tried a Restore, but this didn't help. I've also tried removing all apps and re-installing them, but they still don't work. Any ideas?

yep, unfortunately can't reset without the passcode either.
With regards to doing a restore, do you mean:
open itunes on my computer
click on my device on the left
go to the device summary
click restore
it then asks if i want to back up before i restore (to which i say no)
then it asks me if i'm sure I want to restore to factory settings and that all of me media and data will be erased and replaced with the newest version ( to which I say yes)
then it takes about 90 mins to do this but when I look at my phone, everything is exactly the same.
Am I missing something? Obviously I'm technologically challenged, but I HAVE to get to the bottom of this!

I just had a logic board installed now my headphones don't work?

i have just had a new logic borad installed -
now my headphones don't work? (m-audio)
Am I missing something in preferences?

I would not even try to fix it after getting the logic board replaced. I would take it back to who ever replaced it and tell them it is not working properly.

Recently upgraded Mac 24" to Lion (clean install) and now no external hard disks work with Time Machine

Recently upgraded Mac 24" to Lion (clean install) and now no external hard disks work with Time Machine.
installed new internal disk first with fresh 10.7.3 Lion software. Also upgrade ram to 4GB. Work great, super fast.
BUT.... my WD 1TB firewire400 external disks no longer work with the Lion enabled machine now.
FURTHER... I read somewhere that WD is problematic with Lion but Seagate was not... so I went and bought a new 3TB Seagate GoFlex.
When it didnt work properly either, I patiently searched and found a software/firward upgrade and applied.
I re-partitioned disk to extened/journaled standard, etc.
Then assigned the particition to Time Machine. Drive turned the blue/grey color, so I thought it would work.
But, it has now been in "preparing" mode in Time Machine for HOURS....
What is up Apple? So dissappointed. Ive read these type of problems are notorious with Lion and I wish I never upgraded.
Are you trying to make issues with External disks, to drive people to iCloud? That trick ont work in me. I will not reward bad behaviour Apple.
Please provide a fix... I wasted hours/days screwing around with this, instead of using the Mac for what its intended!

Solved by Pondini, on another thread I opened...
Answer:
Sounds like either:
A directory problem on your internal HD. Verify your internal HD, and Repair any other volumes being backed-up per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
Something in OSX may be damaged. You've tried the "combo," so a fresh copy of OSX (that won't disturb anything else) would be worth a try (and you don't need a tech for that). See Installing the ''combo'' update and/or Reinstalling OSX.

My current version of Chrome is having problems, too! It's so annoying. Anyone have any suggestions now? I basically can't view or download any PDFs because of this.
Does anyone else think this is a problem not only with Adobe? I would think Apple would have something to do with this? Wouldn't they get some idea from the developer versions that no browser can open PDFs while running Lion!? Pretty bad customer service on the part of a company that prides itself on being VERY customer-friendly. Wouldn't you say?

I have downloaded ios 6 on my ipad 2 but it wouldn't install and now my ipad won't work (just has the apple logo on the screen periodically) or reset. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Try restoring the device using iTunes. Connect the iPad to your computer and when iTunes opens, select your device on the left side, then click on the summary tab, then click on Restore.
After the device is restored you will have an opportunity to restore from your backup. Restore from the backup when you are done and then sync with iTunes.
if that doesn't work, try recovery mode.

This may sound crazy, but download any free app. This often "shocks" the other apps into working.

At this point it's clear that it's been damaged and will need to be take or sent to Apple for replacement.

Installed CS5, now can't export from CS4! Help! "Could not read from the source..."

I installed CS5 but completely ignored the fact plugins were required to be 64-bit. It'll be months before the plugins I require for my projects to be updated!
So I continued editing in CS4 and when I attempted to export with the media encoder it halts instantly with an exclamation mark, the log says :
"Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted."
And yes I'm not stupid, I did my research.
I tried uninstalling CS4 and reinstalling. I tried the shortcut fix. I tried moving my cache files. My extensions are correct.
Right now the only fix seems to be completely removing CS5 and CS4, After Effects just because they share files (?) and all my settings and plugins along with it! I'd rather NOT do that if I can!

Good detective work, and glad that it worked. Now, your cure will be here for us to link to and for others to find. Your title will help direct others to this thread. Job well done.
Thanks,

Installed CS5, now I can't administer a site using CS4

I installed CS5 recently. My client still has CS4. She recently changed her ftp pass codes. I updated the connection with Contribute using CS5, but she can not access the site and gets an error message "This site is now being managed by a newer version of Contribute". I cleared the preferences in CS5 and am trying to re-establish the connection for her using CS4...but everytime I do I get half way through the set up process and get an error message saying that the site is already being managed by a newer version of Contribute (even though I have cleared the CS5 preferences in the Library and that site doesn't exist anymore on CS5 version).
How can I still use the older software for my client who doesn't have CS5? Thanks. Melissa

1) If the site is adminitered by newer version of Contribute then you can't administer the site using lower version of Contribute.
2) In the Compatibility is chosen as Transition Mode then the users in lower version can connect, if the mode chosen is Compatibility then they can't connect.
Please refer to the blog http://blogs.adobe.com/contribute/2009/09/compatibilty_transition_mode.html for more information.
Hope this help you.

Upgraded to yosemite now my speakers don't work and i can't play videos on Facebook.

When i play a video on face book I'm told i need to upgrade flashplayer, i wasn't even aware i had it downloaded! I have got rid of flash player (i think ) and now I'm told i need to download FP before i can watch videos. I can't play games on FB either and my speakers don't work.
I wish i hadn't upgraded to Yosemite to be honest as i prefer the old layout and it seems to have caused me problems. Everything was working fine before the Upgrade to Yosemite.
Im not good with computer terminology so please reply as simply as possible :-)
Thank you

I updated to ois 4.3 and now my apps don't work

I updated my 3rd generation ipod to the ios 4.2.1 and now half my apps don't work. How do I get back to where they do and is there some way to fix this bug?

- First try resetting your iPod. Nothing will be lost:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Some users have said installing a new app resolves the problem. Thus, I would try purchasing a free app.
