Can't use trial photoshop - downloads but can't setup

I have run CS4 photoshop on my Macbook Pro - but now I can't run the trial of either photoshop or dreamweaver - the error says You can't open the application AdobePhotoshop CS4.app because it is not supported of this architecture.
I have OSX 10.5.7 on the newest Macbook Pro - you would think I could use photoshop!
I'm wondering if anyone knows a work around. I called apple - they say that Adobe just hasn't gotten the trials to work with the newer operating systems of OSX. If that is true it seems like bad business since photoshop is their flagship graphics program and Mac are the graphics computers.
thx

i am using the same os x & recieve the same error message when try to open file after it has 'downoaded' ... all components apart from the actual cs4 photoshop app are there .... i have got elements & had CS3 on my mac with no probs so do not see how / why I can download any adobe apart from this particular program.
Help Please!!

Trial Photoshop Download is Corrupt - Doesn't Work

I have repeatedly tried to download the photoshop trial from adobe however the installation fails with an error message "a problem occured while extracting some files. Check available space on your computer and the write privileges"
Space and priviledges are not the issue. I am running as administrator on Vista with over 100gb free. The issue is the file on the server seems to be corrupt. If I manually use 7zip to explore the archive it tells me some of the files it holds are corrupt.
Annoyingly I have wasted a nearly 5gb of my 10gb monthly bandwith just to repeatedly download these files, thinking that perhaps somehow the files were corrupted in the download process and thus trying again, but I get the same result. Never had a download issue while downloading from MSDN on Microsoft, where I regularly and reliably download much larger, multigigabyte files, e.g VS2010, Win7. Pretty sure this is not my internet connection.
What doesn't work are two downloads -
Photoshop_12_LS1.7z is 1,026,293,791 bytes and is corrupt
DesignPremium_CS5_LS1.7z is 3,052,655,417 bytes and is corrupt
I did download photoshop elements (900mb) sucessfully.
Please advise.

Thanks for the link to your website. I don't think there are any issues based on your websites info, but I re-cleaned my system with CCleaner just in case. I also tried a seperate clean machine with a different operating system (win7 instead of vista). Same problem.
I initially did use WinRar which reported that error, hence I switched to 7zip because I figured it was zipped in that and therefore obviously more likely to work, but both show an error.
I would also doubt the archives are damaged on the server or in download however they just don't work (for me)

No, you have the web site version because this applies:
Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
The rest we cannot know. You have not provided any system information or details like what browser you use, so nobody can help you with your technical issues.

I've bought a student plan but every time I open currently downloaded programms I see an automatically opened window that says I'm using trial version and still have several days to use it. How can I change it?

I've bought a student plan but every time I open currently downloaded programms I see an automatically opened window that says I'm using trial version and still have several days to use it. How can I change it? It makes me nervous , as it demands serial number, but e-mail i've got from Adobe doesn't contain any serial number or invitation or something like that.

Thanks

Hi,
If you have the suite then you have to download the whole suite otherwise the Serial Number will not work, if you only download Photoshop. Once you download the suite you can choose to only install Photoshop and use the Serial number you have.
You can download from here.
Download CS4 products
If you get the message:Setup" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer , You can follow Fix the “App can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer” Error in Mac OS X .
**You can change it to MAC App store and identified developers afterwards.

I'm working on the 30 day trial Photoshop CC on my laptop but can't open it on my school's paid Photoshop CC 2014. What do I do to open it?

I'm working on the 30 day trial Photoshop CC on my laptop but can't open it on my school's paid Photoshop CC 2014. What do I do to open it?

Your question is confusing. Are you trying to open your 30 day trial on the school computer or are you trying to bring the school's version on your computer? What is the end goal? Is it to retrieve your files from creative cloud?
I personally would use Dropbox if that is the goal.
