Can't "Edit in CS4" New LR 2.3 and PS CS4 in Mac OS Leopard

I have just moved my LR2.3 and CS4 onto a MacPRo and have a problem I can't find a solution for when I have searched the Knowledge Base.
When I have an open image in LR, and Photo> Edit In > Edit In Photoshop CS4 (or "open as a smart object in CS4"), then work on the image in CS4 and then try and "save" or "save as" in Photoshop CS4, I get this error message.
"Could not save (document name) because write access was not granted".
Previously on my PC, this operation worked seamlessly??
I am new to Mac and have only had the computer a few days. Does anyone have any answers on how I can access and have read write privileges between CS4 and Lightroom? I can't imagine why two adobe products aren't able to read/write to each other, but that seems to be what has happened.
I'm using OS X Leopard on a MacPro.
Thanks

I have a solution to the problem.
When you are using a PC the files are stored on your HD in FAT32 file format..
When you are using a MAC the files are stored on your HD in a different format. That means you can read your files on the Mac, but you can't write.
On my HD Seagate recommend using the OS Extended format when their HD is used on a Mac.
The solution is to reformat your external HD and use the Applications-> Utility -> Disk Utility program on the Mac to reformat the external HD.
Before you do this you have to save your data on the external HD somewhere in the Mac or another HD that is connected to the Mac.
Once this is done start the reformating of the HD by following this sequence Applications-> Utility -> Disk Utility. A page opens up that has you select the drive that you want to reformat, and once you have done that, in the "Erase" window, select OS Extended (Journalized) or a format your HD manufacturer recommends.
There is a second window called "Name" which allows you to name the drive that you are reformatting. Once you have made these selections then you proceed with the reformatting, and once that is done, you can move your files onto the external HD that you had previously relocated to another HD.
The files on the reformatted HD are now Read/Write, and the problem of not having write permissions is fixed.
So this isn't a problem with the Adobe products, but one where you have to reformat HDs when you are switching platforms from PC to Mac or the reverse.

How can I edit my website from another computer? and how can I create a new website next to the one, I have already? Can anyone help, please?

Move the domain.sites file from one computer to the other.
The file is located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. Move this file to the same location on the other computer and double click and iWeb will open it. Remember, it is your User Library that you want and not your System Library, as you will not find iWeb there.
Just create a new site on the same domain file and it will appear below the other site. If you want them side by side then duplicate your domain file and have one site per a domain file and they can then be side by side.

Can not edit or create new power points since installing Yosemite.

I can not edit or create new power points since installing Yosemite. I can open and run the power points I have previously created but every time I try and edit or create a new power point it simple comes up with this
Also when I open the font drop down menu all the font names are in Chinese

Have you run all the office updates? We have to assume this is a proper copy of Office 11 of course and not one 'from Hxxx-Kxxx'. I would also consider re-installing Yosemite-something is screwy on your installation of something if its picking up China..unless of course it is true that the Chinese have been hacking into iTunes and are secretly trying to make you into an agent of the state..you will speak Mandarin..you will speak Mandarin

How can I edit imported audio track? After selecting and deleting region and joining remaining parts, it keeps playing the track with the deleted part! What am I doing wrong?

After selecting and deleting region, and joining remaining parts, it keeps playing the track with the deleted region!
What am I doing wrong?
How exactly are you doing this?
When I cut out a part of an audio region, then drag the remaining parts together, so they are touching, the track will skip the cut out section when playing the file. Also, if I select the remaining parts of the region and use the command "Edit > join regions". This will create a new audio file with the cut out part deleted.
You should see this prompt, when you are joining the regions:

When i burn videos to a dvd-r disc it works on my macbook but not on a windows/pc or my dvd player. How can i make it work on all the above and not just a mac product?

Unfortunately, the recording & movie industry does not respect the rights of the people who make them money, and thus you can only use the paid-for content in ways they see fit. Even if I lived in a bunker where no one else could possibly see the movie I paid for, therefor I'm not 'sharing it illegally', I would still not be allowed in a blue moon to copy that movie to DVD for TV viewing. Someone will tell you to get an AppleTV. How about Apple give us one for free? Until this changes, people wanting to use their content in multiple locations will continue to download music & movies via torrents, legally or illegally.

I only see the phone numbers of my contacts when using iMessage on my MAC, whereas I see the names on my iPhone. Why, and how can I make it so I see the names (and pics) on my MAC?

Thanks Eric, but that was already turned on. I just now tried turning it off and on again, no change. Actually, I"m more interested in seeing the names than the pictures. I now only see the phone numbers and generic avatars where pics would be.

Can't edit a flyer that has been made and saved

My wife was making a flyer for her fathers' business, she found a template she liked and edited it to suit her needs and then saved it as a .doc file.
Now once it opens it won't allow us to change the text or photos, it just lets us insert a new paragraph above everything else.

Are you saying you can't edit this in MsWord (PC or Mac?) ?
If you are working with a Pages document you should keep a copy of the original Pages document in the .pages format. The Word .doc file is only an exported version and not always 100% accurate. Also don't expect the design rich Pages version to work the same in the less design rich Word version.
It would help if you actually gave details and told us what you have really done, with maybe screen snaps of the problem.

Can I install Adobe CS4 on Mac OS X v10.9?

Hi,
Does anyone know whether you can install Adobe CS4 on MAC OS X v.9?
Thanks!

For the most part this should work, but you will need to make sure to e.g. fix the permissions on the Library folder because 10.9 handles this differently from previous versions of OSX. And of course there may be any number of other compatibility issues that may require manual fiddling.

Printing from InDesign CS4 on Mac Snow Leopard to HP officejet pro K5400

I recently started using a Mac Snow Leopard with InDesign CS4; for awhile it printed fine. Then, dealing with a book mss, I had to get InDesign to convert the document to a PDF, and since that time, the Officejet Pro k5400 will only print in what appears to be the best quality, even when I tell it to print in fast draft, and even set that as a preset. Anybody had that problem? Anybody have any suggestions as to what is going on here? How can I get the printer to print in fast draft? Thanks for any help,

How to fix bookmark icons from reappearing in new browser windows despite having bookmark deiconizer enabled (Mac Snow Leopard/Firefox 20.0).

Ever since Firefox upgraded to 20.0, my enabled deiconizer doesn't work when I open a new browser window. Using Mac/Snow Leopard.
I want those bookmark toolbar icons to disappear permanently! They are nothing but clutter.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think my next move is to contact Mozilla/FireFox to complain about this change and see if it can be fixed. If not, then I'll probably just switch to Safari. I lose patience with companies/programmers who do things like this. When I had programmers reporting to me (before I retired a few years ago), I would never let them get away with this sort of nonsense. User flexibility was a requirement.

How can I edit a CS4 doc in CS3?

A client's sent me an InDesign CS4 doc to edit and then return back to them. I have CS3 and can't open it because it needs me to install loads of plugins or upgrade to CS4. CS4 is no longer available. If I buy CS5, and edit it using CS5, the client using CS4 won't be able to open it. Any solutions?

Either have them exprt the file to .inx for you (not ideal) or download the CS4 trial and use it for 30 days and make sure you finish in that time. You can get that here: Download Adobe CS4 and CS3 Free Trials Here (incl. After Effects) | ProDesignTools
Make sure you follow the directions on that page TO THE LETTER or it won't work.

Everything colored grey and I can't edit anything on new purchased usedipod

I just bought a video ipod off of my friend who got a new ipod touch and didn't need it anymore. When i plug it in to my computer everything such as song titles and videos is gray and i can't play or edit anything.
I figure i could probably just erase his old stuff and start new, but i kind of wanted some of it if possible.

iPods will work with more than one PC if they are set to manual sync.
Everything is grayed out now becuase it is set to auto sync.

Can't edit pictures in new Photos update bring back iPhoto !!

My pictures display fine but when I go to edit them they don't show up in the edit window and the tool bar
is barely visible. These are simple jpegs not RAW files.

There is a significant difference in the features between Pages '09 and Pages 5 with so many features removed that Pages 5 is not converting the older format well:

Pages '09 should still be in Applications/iWork.
Trash or archive Pages 5 and wait for Apple to sort it out. You can also rate/review it in the App Store.
