Can't Open Fireworks CS4 in Mac. Error Message

Hello,
I have had CS4 for 2 years almost and recently Fireworks won't open. When I click on the icon, I get this error message (below). I have updated by my Mac OS and Adobe updates with no success. I thought about uninstalling and reinstalling Fireworks, but it says I would need to deactivate my serial number from within Fireworks. Since I can't open Fireworks, I can't deactivate it - so presumably I wouldn't be able to reinstall it.
All my other Adobe products are working fine - it's just this one.
I operate Mac 10.6.7
Any suggestions? I'm not a graphic designer, so if you're able to assist, pretend you're explaining to an 8 year-old! :-)
Thank you kindly.

Thank you Linda, I thought I would post here since other users may have had a similar experience. My next step will be to reinstall the software since I'd rather not pay for their technical support if it's a simple fix - thus the posting here.

I appreciate the reply.

    I had same problem in WinXP Pro -- ran all the fixes they suggested to no avail.  Finally, I logged in as Administrator, launched the application and it worked like a charm.
    I logged back in as the user having the problem, and same thing as before.  I ended up RECREATING the user's profile and that fixed it.

    I can't open Itunes on my mac. error 130001. how to fix?

    Hi gingerjacker,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Did you restart your Mac and try again?  Sounds simple, but it's a good first step when troubleshooting.
    If the issue persists you may need to delete iTunes from the Applications folder and download a fresh copy.  This does not affect your iTunes library, which is in a different location.

  • Can't open iTunes anymore.  Get error message

    I recently got an iTouch. Also recently got a new computer. I downloaded iTunes onto new computer (Windows Vista) and it worked just fine. iTouch worked too. However, one day I went to open iTunes and it didn't open. I got an error message that said: iTunes application could not be opened. Unknown error occurred (13014). I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times but still get the same error message. Can anyone help me?

    Hey there,
    The page below might be able to help you out. Some say that by restarting your computer fixes the problem. You probably have already attempted this, but maybe try one or two more times. No harm done there. Hope this helps.

  • Can't open itunes because of quicktime error message

    hi
    when i try opening itunes i get a message saying it can't run because it detects an error with quicktime. it says click "help". then i get something saying, "http status-message kb/304424". it also says description requested response not available. does anyone know how i can fix this?
    thank you

    iTunes depends on a good QuickTime install, because it uses QT codecs for video and audio.
    Does QT open OK? If not, uninstall it using Control Panel > ADd/Delete Programs. Then install the standalone version. More detail:

    I have a similar problem - just posted this today, 5th July 2014. I get a message that says windows cannot find c:\programme files(x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd 32.exe.  Tried several uninstall/reinstalls with special programmes to check that uninstall was complete. Oddly, a download trial of the full programme Adobe Pro works OK !  If an expert out there can sort this it would be much appreciated.

  • Can't open iPhoto on MacBook. no error message. click on icon, doesn't respond. 10.7.5 version and '08 iPhoto version

    IPhoto not responding when I click on icon.. No error messages, just won't open. Tried to open in system preferences did not work.
    I am not computer savey, so only tried re-booting. Can you help? Thank you

    Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots  and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

  • I can't open illustrator files as an error message says 'file contains conflicting spot colour information...' then closes, how do I resolve this?

    The full message reads 'The file contains conflicting spot color information. Spot and process colors cannot share the same name. Please resolve the spot color conflict and try reopening this file.'
    The problem is the file just closes after that. If anyone has had this problem before and managed to resolve it, please please help!

    This turned out to be a links issue. One of the psd's had corrupted. In the end we found out by making sure the file couldn't connect to the links in the illustrator document allowing it to open in the basic vector format. We disconnected from the network, another way would be to move the links folder. Once the file was open the links could be deleted/replaced seems it didn't close the file straight away.
    I hope this helps anyone else that has this problem, there really wasn't much information on it, especially not up to date information.

  • TS1717 I can't open Itunes, I have an error that says says MSVCR80.dll is not found. I have tried twice to uninstall and reinstall but keep getting the same error message. Can anyone help?

    I can't open ITunes, I have an error message that says MSVCR80.dll is not found. Is anyone able to help solve this issue for me. I have tried to unistall and reinstall ITunes twice but continue to get the same error message.

    A msi file is short for microsoft installer.  It normally is for installation, removal, and maintenance for a program. So iTunes.msi would be used for the updating of the program.  For some reason it isnt finding this so we can't update, install, or remove it.
    From what I have seen windows installer cleanup utility solved related problems before. 
    I found this forum about removing and installing a new iTunes.  It was about someone who was trying to isntall iTunes, and was looking for msi file and asked for help.   Using this should allow you to be able to install iTunes.  It won't give you the msi file but will allow you to isntall iTunes over again.
    This was what was said.
    Another option in case you can't get an msi. (Or even if you can ... the msi's mentioned in the messages may be damaged rather than missing.)
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
