Adobe CS4 Reinstall Issue...

Hello! I am attempting to reinstall CS4 on my machine at work. Initally, this was the problem I experienced (as posted over in the Digital Editions forum, which is where the Adobe tech support forwarded me to go post the problem):
Initially I experienced error 147:20 a few weeks ago, and I ran their LicenseRecovery.exe tool, and that did not clear anything up. So, then I ran the Adobe CS Cleaner Tool and uninstalled CS4, and then I reinstalled it on my machine. When I get to the serial number screen, I was unable to use the serial number provided by Adobe.
Okay, so now I have yet a new issue with the install...I was able to get the s/n to work (a day or three later); however, then a screen comes up saying that I need to load the installation DVD into the drive.
*!*Insert any desired expletive here*!*
Umm, hello? If I had not loaded the disc into the drive in the first place, I would not have been able to run the application at all!!!
If anyone can be of any assistance, it would be MUCH appreciated!
But this might be able to be overlooked because the com team is going to see about getting me a whole new machine (possibly this coming week).
Thanks for any response you can provide!

Programs requesting an installation disk depends on another Adobe program having installed a shared component from a different install source and storing wrong file path references. You will have to clean out all Adobe products, then start over with the install in the correct order/ order of priority. You may even need to delete the caps.db and other installer databases manually.

  • Adobe CS4 OpenGL issues with 10.6.2 and Intel GMA950 video card

    I just upgraded to Adobe CS4 and in PS I cannot enable OpenGL. I'm running 10.6.2 on a Macbook with the Intel GMA950 video card.
    I was wondering if 10.6.2 does not have the relevant drivers for CS4 to recognize this chipset or that since the video card is integrated (as opposed to a stand alone with the newer Macbooks) that Intel has not update the drivers? It ***** since I cannot use some functions inside PS without OpenGL.

    Hello blue20 & welcome to discussions
    1.) You can search these forums for the topic of:
    Adobe CS4 GMA950
    As an example, if you haven't already, in an effort to parse what's already been discussed.
    2.) Have you looked at any of the Adobe forums:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/2356530
    3.) How many fonts are you working with?
    The general approach at this time is to ask if you've checked for any problematic fonts (all languages) with Apple's Font Book (look in the Applications folder). Find and remove all duplicates also.
    Start there to be sure all fonts that are in play come out with a clean bill of health.
    Don't hesisate to perform wholesale deletion of old and/or little used fonts - be skeptical of anything that has come from Office 2008, including those related to an Equation Editor installation.
    By all means be sure any 3rd party apps AND plug-ins are Snow Leopard compatible.
    An additional measure is to clear the existing font caches:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/139383/2009/03/fontcacheclear.html
    That said, 10.6.2 release notes have this to say about fonts:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3874
    Fonts fixes provided for:
    • an issue with font spacing
    • an issue in which some Fonts are missing
    • font duplication issues
    • an issue with some PostScript Type 1 fonts not working properly
    Good luck in any case.

  • Adobe CS4 Update issue

    We are getting this error when we try to update adobe cs4 production premium:
    The update server is not responding, which means it might be offline at the moment, or the Internet or firewall settings may be incorrect.  Please try again later.
    Any ideas. We are using intel macs with leopard os. I am logged in as the root account and the firewall is turned off. PC computers have no problems updating. I am having the same problem on 6 macs.

    Adobe updaters suck. do it manually.

  • Adobe Acrobat reinstall issue-serial number

    Hello-
    I recently had to do a full reinstall on my Windows 7 OS.  However when I did this it deleted my registered Adobe Acrobat ver. 9 program.  Unfortunetely I do not have my original disks and had to download the program from your website.  AcroPro90_efg.exe.
    I retrieved my registered account information with my original serial number.
    Upon installling the downloaded version and asked for my serial number I got an error message:  Invalid serial number.  I checked and rechecked the number and still get the error message. 
    Any help with this would be helpful.
    Thanks.

    Ash-ers Welcome to the Discussions.
    Any problem you have with Software from Adobe you will need to go to there web site and do an update to there software.  Apple sent out copies of there software well in advance of the release so that the developers of all the major software manufactures could do all of the fixes a head of the release of Mavericks.  Some were a little slower then others so go to.

    For the fix

  • Reinstalling Adobe CS4 on Mac

    I use Adobe CS4 on a MacBook Pro and need to reinstall IA and ID. For some reason my efforts aren't working so I need someone to walk me through it.

    Yes please run the uninstallers indicated in message #1.  If you continue to face difficulties then run all available uninstallers and then please run the CS Cleaner Tool.  You can find details on the use of the CS Cleaner Tool at CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

  • Adobe CS4 Web Standard Download Issues

    Hi, i own a key for the product Adobe CS4 Web Standard and would like to download it as I have recently reinstalled windows on my computer.
    I have unfortunately lost the install dvd and require a download. However there is no link to download CS4 Web Standard to be found even in the "Downloads for Older Versions" page you've hidden deep within your website.
    I would like a download link to this software as I have purchased it and require to use it for my work.
    Thanks

    I don't understand why everything but Web Standard is listed to download.
    Those files are trial versions which are always Premium versions of the product.
    Likewise Design Standard is not a separate download - you download Design Premium.
    I have no idea why your Web Standard serial number will not work in the Premium installer.

  • How do we reinstall adobe cs4 without the disc?

    Our computer crashed and after we fix it, we were unable to open adobe cs4 back up.  It asked us for a serial number.  After we input the serial number is said it had expired and now the software "crashes" every time we open it.  Unable to open and/or reinstall.

    Hi ronnapentimento,
    Is it InDesign CS4?
    Can you please share the exact error message?
    You can private message the serial key to me so i can verify.

  • Reinstalling Adobe CS4 after Hard Drive Crash

    Hi, I am a student and I bought the Adobe CS4 Design Premium Student Licensing Editon a few months ago and recently my hard drive died on me and I had to get it replaced. So, I was just wondering if I had to deactivate my serial number for my CS4 suite first before installing it again on my new hard drive. I've contacted the adobe customer service and the adobe technical support and they both told me I could just reinstall it with no problem. I just wanted to confirm this a third time before I do it, and to note, I didn't buy the product directly from Adobe, I bought it from a website called JourneyEd.com.
    Also, the technical support person I contacted, told me you could install the student licensing edition on two computers. (I thought it was just one) Is this true?

    You can install it on a million computers. You can only activate it on two computers for your own non-simultaneous use.

  • Can I Install Mountain Lion without reinstalling Adobe CS4?

    Adobe CS4 edu version is difficult to get authorized and set up with seriel numbers.

    Has anyone installed the new OS successfully?

    I installed with CS5 on my hard drive, I did not have any issues, but I did backup first and suggest that you do as well.
