Can CS4 coexist with older CS2?

It's a long story, but to make it very short, I wanted to install CS2 back on my computer because (right, wrong, or just misinformed) CS4 using multicam editing has issues. (I posted a thread about this a few days ago....which my last reply would indicate a 'fix' .. but it wasn't.)  Never-the-less, because I needed to get this large 2+ hour 3-camera shoot edited, I decided to load my old CS2 (I loaded Premiere Pro only) back on the machine so I could edit this one multicam project without the hassles and workarounds required by CS4.  So..........when I do that, CS4 AME stops working.
Has anyone successfully loaded a previous version of CSx AFTER loading CS4 before? 
Does anyone have any insight into *why* CS4 AME would stop working after loading a previous CSx (my case CS2)?
If I choose to continue using CS2 on the same machine with CS4, will I have to uninstall CS4, install CS2, then reinstall CS4 last?
Any thoughts, insight or suggestions would be appreciated.
TIA,
jd

Most of the installations that had CS2 (PrPro 2.0) and CS4 were done with CS4 coming after the installation of CS2. I'd guess that with the order being reversed, the CS2 installation hooked an affinity, or a process, that had been set to CS4. A repair install of CS4 should set it all right again.
When adding PE4 to a machine with the full CS2 Production Studio, similar happened, and PrPro, Bridge and PS were "broken." Adobe never expected someone to install PE after PrPro and the others in the Productin Suite. A Repair Install of the rest of Production Studio took care of everything. Obviously, I was not the only one to do this, as there was an Adobe KB Article on what would be broken, and how to fix it.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • I recently upgrade to an iPAD Air. I gave my old iPAD (1st gen) to my wife.  I restored it to original factory conditions.  Now we cannot install iBook on it since it requires iOS 7.  What can we do with older iPADS that are still 100% functional.

  • Can SS9 coexist with SS8 on the same box?

    Hello,
    First off, congratulations on the SS9 release!
    I'm about to try it out, but I can't make sense of some what's said in the release notes.
    "If you have Forte Developer 6 software, Sun ONE Studio 7 software, Sun ONE Studio 8 software, or Sun Studio 8 software installed, be sure to follow the installation instructions and install the Sun Studio 9 software in a different directory."
    The next paragraph says:
    "If you have Sun ONE Studio 8, Compiler Collection software or the Sun Studio 8 software installed, be sure to follow the installation instructions and install the Sun Studio 9 software on a different system."
    The install guide says:
    "If you installed an Early Access version of the Studio 9 software or any other version of the Sun Studio software on your system, then install the current version of the Sun Studio 9 software in a different directory."
    So can SS9 coexist with SS8 on the same box, albeit in a different directory, or not? I have an S8 box with SS8 on it.
    Regards,
    Sergey

    I don't have the installation guide handy, but the Release Notes say something different. The Install Guide is wrong about the EA and CA versions. The wording about installing on a different "system" is also wrong. I'll forward this information and see what can be done about correcting it. (No matter how many times a doc is reviewed, it's still wrong ... )
    The rules for Sun Studio 9 installation are actually simple, and are the same as for all previous releases:
    1. You can install any number of different releases on one system, but each must be installed in a different base directory.
    2. You can install only copy of a given release on one system.
    The default base directory is /opt, and if any release is installed there, additional releases must be installed somewhere else. For example, you could install Sun Studio 9 in /SS9 or /export/SS9 or any place other than /opt.
    Because of #2, you must uninstall an EA or CA version of a release before installing another version of that release. For example, if you install the first EA version, you must uninstall it before installing the second EA version, or CA version or final release version. If you installed the CA version, you must uninstall it before installing the final release version.
    Patches to an existing installation don't count as a new version. A patch by definition is installed on top of the release that it patches.

    What VGA adapter can I use with older MacPro?

    One way to find this information:
     menu > About This Mac > (More Info) ...
    ... in the header on on the right side click "Overview" and cut and paste the information there, BUT remove your serial number before clicking (Save Reply) on the forums.
    _OR_
    ...on the right-hand side of the header click "Support".
    In the lower half of the window that opens click "Specifications".
    cut and paste the heading of the article that opens, such as:

  • HT200091 how can i work with older  library photos  in version Aperture 3.2.4 ( now my aperture version is 3.4.3

    How do work with older version libraries. ? i could not relaunch the aperture with old (3.2.4) verion!

    You can't switch to the old library you have to open it directly.
    Find the old library in the Finder and double click it. Aperture will ask if you want to upgrade it. Once if is upgraded you can switch between it and the other library.

  • Fit landscape width can't coexist with handwriting?

    I guess this is more of a request than a question. I used to have a PRS-650, and when you changed Page Mode to Fit to Landscape Width - which I use a LOT because I read a bunch of full-page PDFs - you could still use the Handwriting function on the page. But for the PRS-T1 and T2 (I now have a T2, used to have a T1), when you change to Fit to Landscape Width you can't annotate with the stylus without the reader reverting to normal format. Why is this, and is it something that could be fixed/changed in a future software update PLEASE? I've been loyal to the Sony readers because they're really the only reader which has both workable PDF functionality and touch-screen manual annotation - but the fact that I can't use those two features together really bums me out.

    Good day and thank you for the comment/request. We are more than happy to forward your feedback onto the proper department. We place a very high value on feedback from our customers because it allows us to continue to improve. Thanks again and have a wonderful day. Scott Fuentes

  • Is Indesign CS4 compatible with Illustrator CS2 and Photoshop CS2?

    We are a small business and have been working in the CS2 suite forever.  We had someone do some work for us in Indesign CS4 and are looking to upgrade to that version so we can work with these files as changes happen.  If we upgrade to Indesign CS4 will it still be compatible with the rest of my CS2 programs (Illustrator and Photoshop).  Placing files and such. Thanks in advance, I know I am way behind here but it is what is cost effective for now.

    Adobe only sells InDesign CC (by subscription) or InDesign CS6. You might find boxed legal copies of CS5 or 5.5 from a vendor like Amazon.
    You should be very wary of buying older Adobe software on the Internet or eBay. Many copies don't have a legal license and may cause you problems in the future. Caveat emptor.

  • Newer mac mini airport utility can't work with older airport express

    Hi anyone who can help me out.
    I have a relatively new mac mini (2012), and a much older airport express. I can accesss the internet no problem, but I cannot use the airport utility to chane the password on the airport expres. when I try, I get this message "This version of AirPort Utility doesn’t support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information." I have the latest version of Airport utility (6.3.1), which is supposed to work with all generaions of airport express. I need to change the password, but I do not have any of the original set-up disks for the airport. How do I fix this?
    Thanks for your help.

    Unfortunately, AirPort Utility in Lion and Mountain Lion no longer supports the older wireless "b/g" versions of the AirPort Express. This would include model numbers A1084 and A1088.
    Please locate the model number on the side of your AirPort Express devices to verify the version that you have.
    If you have another Mac running the Leopard or Snow Leopard operating system, you can use AirPort Utilty on that Mac to administer the older Express. A PC could be used as well.
    If you cannot use another Mac or PC, then you might want to consider trying an unsupported method to install an older version of AirPort Utility on your Mountain Lion Mac. No guarantees can be offered that this will be successful since Apple does not officially support this method, but it does seem to work for most users.
    See this thread for more details:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/22940547#22940547
    If nothing seems to work, the final option....likely the one that Apple wants you to use.....would be to buy a new AirPort Express.

  • Time machine can't sync with older airport express

    Just bought a new time capsule to replace a 7 year old airport extreme.  I can't get the two airport expresses to work with it.  The airport expresses are about 5 years old.  I've tried to reset them.  The airport utility says it has successfully reformatted them, but then when it tries to restart the airport express, it can't be recognized.  Airport express light continues to flash amber.

    Solved the problem using this forum.  Changed the security to WAP/WAP2 personal.

  • Can't open CS3 file with my CS2 bc of plug-ins...please advise

    I'm supposed to make revisions to a large book, client provided me with CS3 files that had been (supposedly) converted to open in CS2 but when I try to open it says first that I'm missing two plug-ins. When I click to proceed anyway, it lists a whole bunch of plug-in errors and says I can't open it unless I "Upgrade my plug-ins" or get the latest software.
    I plan to get CS4...but I can't do it yet. And this job needs to get done asap. Any suggestions?

    Are the files you are trying to open .indd or .inx? It sounds like they're still CS3 .indd files, and you need .inx to open in CS2 (plus you need to be fully patched to the last build).
    There are going to be issues with any features that were used in CS3 that don't exist in CS2, as well as probable changes to how lines wrap inside text frames due to differences in the text engines. This is not a good round-trip file sharing method unless further editing can all be done in CS2.

  • Possible to use Proto with older verions of Dreamweaver like CS4

    can adobe proto files work with older dreamweaver software such as cs4?

    It is true that you will be able to change the page size, but you won't have access to using the media queries that automatically display the proper page depending which device is viewing it. You would have to find a 3rd party script for that.
    Once you make any changes to files done in Proto you can no longer edit them in Proto. Proto isn't meant to be a web design program .. it's a wireframing program. Simply to quickly and easily draw out your concepts and create a good starting point for editing in your web design program, usually Dreamweaver.
    My honest opinion on what to do since you are a student would be to subscribe to Creative Cloud instead of actually buying it. It's unbelievably inexpensive for students and you will always all of the latest tools you will need. But it would be a great time to make use of your student status.

  • Ipod touch 4 i can no longer watch movies, transferred to the ipod, on videos app it simply says loading and then stops. On my ipad mini with older ios it still works.

    Ipod touch 4 i can no longer watch movies, transferred to the ipod, on videos app it simply says loading and then stops. On my ipad mini with older ios it still works. So how can I fix this I have tried converting videos into different formats but it will not work.
    Is IOS 8 really appropriate with Ipod Touch 4, if the older Ipods do not have the capability then why are we prompted to install new operating systems.
    Thanks.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all videos and resync
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:

    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       

  • Peirce College will not recognize FF-v4, only v3.6. How can I get the older v3.6 for my new HP Dv6 I am using for school now. My G60 worked well with the v3.6.1.

    This weekend I changed over from my HP-G60 which ran on Vista with Firefox 3.6.1 and my connection to Peirce College in Philadelphia was recognized and supported. They do not, as yet, support the 4.0 version. I downloaded your 4.0 this morning onto my new HP-Dv6, but I cannot use your browser to get to my classes online because they don't support the 4.0 version. It will only work if I use Internet Explorer 7 or 8. I need your version 3.6.1 to be made available to me, so I can continue on with my studies.
