Adobe Photoshop Extended CS4 Trial on Macbook

Hi, my girlfriend tried to install the photoshop CS4 trial on her spanking new macbook. However, after downloading the trial and running the installer SUCCESSFULLY, she encounted a problem opening PS.
The icon didn't show up, and when clicked an error message popped up, saying something to the effect of...
"photoshop is not supported on this architecture."
Does anyone know what the problem is?? Her laptop is a BRAND NEW 2.13GHz macbook, Intel Core 2 Duo etc etc etc... So I dont understand the error. Considering it is the right architecture. Anyone else had this problem? Iv searched the forum and googled the issue but I cant find an answer.
Any response would be greatly appreciated

I recently encountered this exact problem installing Photoshop CS4 trial on an Oct. 2006 production vintage MacBook Black 13" with 2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo, 2 core, 1.5GB ram, lots of hard drive space, running OS X 10.5.8.
After much waiting on the Adobe help line, I could not even get them to say it was supposed to work on the MacBook. At one point they suggested downgrading to 10.5.4 to be in line with the required specs. I said no will do that.
The installer apparently ran correctly but when trying to open Photoshop, it gave the 'architecture not supported' error which turns out to be bogus.
I did the same install on a MacBook Pro running 10.6.2 which was successful, and I saw that there was a lot more stuff installed in the Photoshop folder.
I finally upgraded the MacBook to 10.6.2 but the install would still not work, even after performing the Photoshop CS4 uninstall from Utilities/Adobe Installers first to get rid of previous attempts.
It seems that the installer is completely broken. If it detects any remnants from other installs, it seems to not even try to do the complete install, yet doesn't give any error messages. The broken install is only apparent when trying to run the app, and it gives a totally bogus error message.
I finally found the Adobe CS4 Clean Script which showed a previous trial install of
Creative Suite 4 Master Collection which also had not worked. Removing that with the Adobe CS4 Clean Script then for some reason seemed to allow the install of Photoshop CS4 trial to execute correctly. The script thankfully left the CS3 installation alone.
I don't know whether the upgrade to 10.6.2 was a required part of the solution or not, but after many, many hours of fighting with this, I can now say that Photoshop CS4 trial now works on the Oct. 2006 vintage MacBook.
And to Adobe I say, please fix your installer so that when I say install, it installs, and forget the trying to be so smart. At least give an option to force overwriting of previous remnants so you can be sure the install has installed everything up to date.
And please give some better error messages, particularly when it doesn't install required parts.

I'm trying to download photoshop extended cs4.0 firewall blocks, saying a it contains a trojan

I'm trying to download photoshop extended cs4.0. I have a license key. I had to replace a staff members older PC. each time I try to download the installer, it says there is a tronjan. I've tried 2 different browsers, so I know it's not a browser issue. Any insite?

I agree with Chris Cox. It's a false positive. If you can't get that settled right away, see if this download link helps any.

Photoshop Extended CS4 and AVCHD video

Is there a way to load AVCHD videos (.mts or .m2ts) in Photoshop Extended CS4.
Given premiere CS4 can read them I would hope PS does too, but when trying to load one, it says it is not the right kind of document.
Thanks

Thanks .
Not sure by what you mean by windows media architecture formats. I can play AVCHD in Windows media player (using FFDSHOW codec and Haali media splitter),
What confuses me is that I posted my question online telling them I was testing CS4 (trial version) because of my interest in that functionnality, and was told by Adobe to call support, but when I called support, they told me it could, but refused to tell me how to do it because I do not own the product...
They probably just had conversion in mind

My adobe photoshop extended CS5 won't save as, what should i do?

my adobe photoshop extended CS5 won't save as, what should i do?

Ditto issue, netbook NB200 Toshiba, trying the higher resolution. It is inconceivable to me that a firm of Adobe's reputation would automatically shut-out a very large section of the market place!
Also, it is a surprise with the hundred's of thousands of programs out there in the world that work just fine on netbooks, that they would not Highlight this issue on the download/purchase page (not hidden in technical specs page); and would also not have an installer that "warns" the user of the deficiency in their system at the beginning - with a clear description of what will/won't work!; Especially when upgrading in good faith from a system upon which it does work:(
In this instance, I was able to adjust the Monitor resoltion to 780 vertical (thank goodness it's available on the NB200 system) - and yes it does work...
I would never had realized this if the google'd search did not come up with this forum. What would have happened if I was travelling without internet connection as a photographer/videographer - which is quite often.
Thanks to the forum for the answer/problem/issue!:)

How do I install Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 on new MacBook Pro without DVD drive?

I just purchased my first MacBook Pro and am trying to get everything set up and installed. I purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 and retrieved my serial number and have the redemption code -- but I can't figure out how to install Photoshop without a DVD drive. The Photoshop package I purchased only provides DVDs and I don't have a DVD drive. Is there a website I can go to to install Photoshop and enter my serial number or redemption code?

Have you tried downloading the trial version and using your serial
number to activate it?
The trial version is a complete product and can be activated by
inserting the valid serial number.
Good luck.

Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 Trial Wont Install on my Mac (OSX Lion)

Information about the problem:
I am trying to install a trial version of Adobe Photoshop CS5.1.
I have fully downloaded the trail via the Adobe Download Assistant. The file i now have is 'Photoshop_12_1_LS1.dmg'.
I can open the .dmg and go through the basic steps ready to install. I press install and wait for it to do its thing.
The install then freezes at any given point at any %. Sometimes the % will stay at a certain point and the time will increase with no progress. At one point i left the machine for the '8 minutes' it required and the time had increased to 60 minutes +.
I have noticed a trend with each time i have tried it (31 Times).
The installer always seems to freeze at the section when it is installing: Adobe Recommended Fonts or Adobe Required Fonts or sometimes Adobe Bridge CS5.5 or Adobe Extension Manager CS5.5.
Once the install is stuck, it locks up the whole system and i have no choice but to hold down the power button as the machine is unresponsive. I have tried the installation multiple times and still no luck.
In order to try and solve the problem myself, i have removed all custom fonts from the font book and what remains is the default fonts on the system. I have even tried installing the trial without all the extra extentions supplied before installing the trial and still the same problem occurs.
I am in need of this trial and i would appreciate any help i can get.
Thanks,
John
System Info:
MacBook Pro 17inch
4GB Memory
2.8 GHz Processor
Mac OS X 10.7.1

I have found a solution to this problem. Install the files in safe boot mode. Here is the how to guide:
Part One:
With past attempts or even previous versions of Adobe CS can be still lying around on your mac, in order to remove the bits and bobs needed in order for a clean install you need to download the 'CS5 Cleaner Tool' by Adobe. This can remove all previous version of CS right back to CS3. This could be the problem effecting you download. This tool can be download from here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/829/cpsid_82947.html
YOU MUST USE THIS TOOL BEFORE MOVING ON TO PART TWO.
Part Two:
To start up into Safe Mode (to Safe Boot), do this:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
(Source: Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455)
Part Three:
Now that you have let your machine boot up in Safe Boot.
    1. Locate the .dmg installation file. This can take a while to load, but be patient.
    2. Click to open the .dmg.
    3. Carry on with the installation as you normally would.
    4. Sit back and enjoy until its 100%.
Once it has installed you can now restart your machine and boot up as normal. Log in and then it should be there in your applications to use.
I have spent nearly 2 days myself trying to figure this out, and finally i have found a solution. I hope this helps anyone who has come across this problem themselves.
Good Luck,
John

Adobe Photoshop Extended CS6 vs Adobe Photoshop CC - Licensing Issue

Hi.
Allow me to explain my situation.
I had a company logo, which needed to be saved as a .TIF Uncompressed (Baseline 6.0) for use in SAP.
I tried all the software I could get my hands on, which could save as .TIF, but when importing into SAP, it displayed "Erroneous file format".
I then asked a friend who is a graphic designer, to take the same logo, put it into Photoshop, and then Save it as a .TIF (Uncompressed), this method worked when importing the file into SAP. He however used Photoshop Extended CS6.
Seeing, that everything we tried, ONLY Photoshop Extended CS6 was able to export the correct version of .TIF needed in SAP, I started looking around to purchase the software for business use, but found that the product is now EOL, and everyone I asked, tried to sell me Adobe Photoshop CC. I then asked the same friend, who also has CC, to do the same with the image, and when I tried to import it into SAP, it failed with "Erroneous File Format" again, meaning that there is a difference in the .TIF version between CS6 and CC, using the exact same export settings.
Now my question, where can I still get a legit copy of Photoshop Extended CS6 for official business use?

SAP is software used by enormous companies. Once thought of as an accounting tool it now pretty much runs many of the biggest companies in the world, from recruiting to e-commerce, and managing the warehouse, payroll and compliance. In enterprises, entire teams of people live, eat and breathe SAP, and all other (non-SAP) software is a throwaway toy.
