Can't install cs4 on Maverick 10.9.2

Hi, I am wondering if there is a way around this, I lost my hard drive on my Mac Book Pro and have had a new one installed. I am running Maverick 10.9.2 but unable to reinstall CS4, I get this message ‘You can’t open the application “install adobe creative suite” because powerpc applications are no longer supported’ I had it working on my old hard drive while running Maverick but cant install it on my new one.

Kpauole,
I agree with sberman that you should remove Adobe Reader if your do not need it. However, I also have Adobe Acrobat Standard XI, and I also occasionally experience exactly the same error that you are having with Reader. Unfortionatly, I have never been able to find a solution other than rebooting (which solves the issue).
Luckily, even though I work with dozens of PDFs daily, I only have this issue about once ever few months. Therefore I've not been willing to invest any time in finding a a real solution but can tell you that a reboot solves the issue for me with the full Acrobat product and therefore may solve it for you with Reader. And, the problem does not seem to happen frequently so a reboot now and then doesn't bother me.
I hope this works for you as well while we wait and hope that Adobe comes up with a patch in some future version.

HT201364 Can we install os x Mavericks on a quad-core intel Xeon ?

Hello there,
Unfortunately I can not install os x Mavericks. I would wonder if it's due to my computer's age. My processor is 2 * 3 ghz quad-core intel Xeon, 8 GB of Memory!
Thank you.
Best wishes,
Ed

Need to know the Model Identifier or when it was manufactured.
It needs to have been released in Early 2008 or newer. Model Identifier 3,1 or greater.
Yours appears to be the original Mac Pro. It doesn't have the necessary hardware (64-bit EFI) to run Mountain Lion or Mavericks.

Try this:
clone your system and repair it with Disk Warrior instead
Or try a clean test system install on another drive
A must: SmcFanControl 2.2 - a mere 400 rpm extra to keep air cooling up
Try to run w/o externals. MyBook included.
Is that a 7200.11 1TB? they had a lot of issues.
Run AHT off your OEM DVD.
2008 had to have EFI and SMC updates to deal with freezes on wake from sleep, and like all models, high inrush current. Hopefully you have a UPS and is 1500VA unit.
When you do hard restart from power button, you almost certainly add more directory errors and to files requiring immediate attention to repair and rebuild the directory; and to scan and repair and delete cache and temp files and folders. A must. Invest in bootable backups SuperDuper along with Disk Warrior (or TechTool Pro 6, maybe Drive Genius 3 but I'd rate that #3).
TimeMachine has its own bad habits, especially with Green drives and some externals.
Try to rule out everything and then add back one at a time.
And it may just be time to replace the 8800, very common, a couple threads this week, and it is 3 yrs old. Might want ATI 5870 or 5770.

Can't install CS4 on new MacBook Pro

I'm trying to install CS4 on a brand-new MacBook Pro with Mac OS 10.6.3. The Setup doesn't even start. I get an error message: "Setup cannot be opened because of a problem." It says that Setup won't work with this version of Mac OS X.
In the Terminal details, there is the following error:
Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/asneu.framework/Versions/A/asneu
Referenced from: Users/...
Reason: image not found
I get the same error whether I double-click on the Setup.app or do Open Package Contents > Contents > MacOS > Setup.exe.
I have researched this error and found that other people have had the issue when the setup process is 90% through, but I can't even get mine to start. I've tried using the CleanScript app from Adobe, but since I don't have another version of Creative Suite on this brand-spankin-new computer, there's nothing to clean or uninstall. I've also tried creating another admin login to install from that, but to no avail.
Any help out there?

the error says library not found. Somehow the install program does not execute properly. It might be a problem of the disc. If you have a second computer or an external Drive try to install from there and see if the same error occurs. If it does, then it must be the CDs. If not then we have to investigate further.

I can't install CS4 after deinstall - Windows 7

When I try to install CS4, I immediately get a screen with the error message "Cannot Install Please check the Quit button".
The problem came after I tried to install some plugins from Nik Software, and something went wrong. Then I tried to deinstall the CS4. It was impossible to install CS4 again.
I have tried allmost everyting I could read on the net including start the install program as administrator, manually delete CS4 files and folders and running the Adobe Suite Cleaner. Some details: Windws 7, 64 bit, CS4 11.0.2.
What can the problem be?
Soren

Hi soren,
CS4 software has not been tested and is incompatible with Windows 7.
If it was working fine for you before, you can uninstall the software completely by using the Cleaner tool ( http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html )
And then download and install the software from http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
Note : Make sure you follow the important steps mentioned on the page before initiating the download.

Can't install CS4 on my Mac

Hi,
I couldn't find the arrowheads under Effects/Stylize. They just aren't there here on my Mac. So, in the pay-for forum, a guy from Adobe suggested I remove the preferences file, yada, yada, yada. Did that. It did nothing. So, for the past two days I've been trying to just re-install CS4. Granted, I go to work and stuff. And I go to bed at night. But, I basically leave it for long periods while it installs. And, now, three times, it's said that the install failed, right at the end. I've uninstalled it cleanly twice. And, yes, I've run the "cs4 cleanup" script thing. It didn't even run, because it said that there was no evidence of CS4 even being on my Mac. Can anyone help? At my work we paid a fortune for an annual support contract with Adobe, but, it's turned out, this year, to be useless. I won't do it again.
Thanks,
Peter

Have you tried installing from a new user?

Please help!!! I can't install CS4 Trial...

I followed the instructions to a T and when I click on the PS symbal that says setup, it won't do nothing. I tried it on my laptop but it won't work on my sons computer for him to try out the software.
Anyone have any other suggestions?
By the way, I am not running a 64 bit computer so I think I am safe. My sons computer is a about 5 yrs old.
Thanks a million,

That said, though, the problem you stated, and the info you gave, the solution that worked for you...after reading this thread several times, I can't help but feel that there have to be some important details that have been left out. What they are I have no clue about.
But getting from "Can't Install a trial version" to "I fixed it by running a script"one that, on the surface, doesn't even seem to be meant to address the problem you were havinghas left me scratching my head. The "DropletFixer.vbs" script was created before PS CS4 was even released.
But, hey...if it worked, it worked!

Can I install OS X Mavericks on the Macs that running OS X 10.5 and 10.6 respectively?

Greetings to the community.
I have two Macs: one is a desktop running on OS X 10.6 and a Macbook 13' running on OS X 10.5.
I have learned that Apple is no longer issuing security updates for 10.6 and wanted to upgrade to the Mavericks.
My question is: If I purchase the Mavericks disk, can I install it on both Macs or do I need to purchase two separate disks?
In other words: is the Mavericks upgrade disk a single or multiple license?
Thank you.

Mavericks is a free, downloadable upgrade, available through the App Store. There are no discs to buy.
Before you upgrade, make sure your Macs are compatible with 10.9, here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842
If your MacBook is compatible, you'll need to update its 10.5 system to 10.6 before moving to 10.9. Details about how to upgrade from 10.5 and 10.6 are here:
http://www.apple.com/support/osx/upgrade/

Can't Install CS4 properly. Please help.

Hi,
I've looked around, this forum and other forums for help, but nothing has availed.
I have tried so many things such as running the winCS4cleanupScript.
Problem:
When i try to install CS4, everything seems fine until a message pops up saying,
Installation has failed, following programs failed to install, adobe premiere & some other program.
I click continue, and happens again to all the programs.
In the end the error code was 1603, Looked something like this:
Adobe Photoshop CS4
Error:
Error 1603. Fatal error during installation.
Adobe Bridge CS4
Error:
Error 1603. Fatal error during installation.
Adobe Device Central CS4
Error:
Error 1603. Fatal error during installation. etc.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Tim,
Follow the mentioned below steps it will work for you.
1) Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
2) Download, unzip, and run the Adobe Windows CS3 Cleanup Script (which relies on the Windows program mentioned above to run) here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html
Please run level 3 of the cleanup script to make it work.
As I said before, even though the Cleanup Script says it’s for CS3, it did work for me in installing CS4 as well.
Note: This is something we should use with Win 32 not with Win 64.
Regards,
Sam

Can't install CS4 on Mac's root drive?

I have a Mac Pro and recently bought CS4 Production Premium. In the list of known issues, it says "On Mac, you cannot install to the root drive. (#BG044824)"
Does that mean I cannot install CS4 on my Mac hard drive (the HD that has OSX and all the other applications)? I have to have a 2nd Mac HD to install it on?
What exactly is a "root drive"? I attempted to look up a definition via Google, but nothing definitive came up.
Thanks for the help!

It meant the boot drive. If you have only one drive that is fine. It cannot be installed on a secondard drive (non-boot drive).
