Cannot install Photoshop CS4 onto a new iMac

I have just bought a new iMac and want to put my Photoshop CS4 on it. It has previously been on my 5 year old MacBook Pro. I have downloaded the .dmg file from the adobe website but as soon as I open it up and click on the setup icon a pop up opens saying "Cannot Install Please click the Quit button". This all happens before I am given the option to put in a product key. I have just done the same process with Lightroom 2 and it worked fine. Any ideas?

Yes, it seems you are downloading the wrong thing.

    Hello,i want to install Photoshop CS4 on my new macbook, but i'm receiving Fault 150:30. You should contact support from adobe :-(
    I already tried every step on the support site, but Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator still don't work. So this is an S.O.S. here...

    I've repaired many a 150:30 error using this method. First make sure your account is an Administrator type.
    When you type sudo <space> and drag LicenseRecover.py into the Terminal window, this is what you should see when you press Enter.
    Type in your admin password if any, and let the script run and finish.

  • Cannot install Photoshop CS4 on Windows Vista Business

    Ok people, looking for some help with this.  I have a new PC (less than 2 months old).  I cannot get Photoshop CS4 installed at all.  I'm sure there have been a million threads like this before asking the same question.  Although I am a newb to Photoshop I am certainly not when it comes to computers, this is what I do for a living.  I can't even believe I am actually having to ask for help.... :\
    Anyway, help appreciated.  I have Windows Vista Business SP1 (32-bit), and its running on a Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 @ 2.5GHz with 4 gig of RAM.  I have plenty of free space on my hard drives.
    When the install completes, I get the same error message, installed with errors.  When I click to see the error info it says something about language packs (I can get the exact error if you want, just installed and uninstalled about 10 times but hey).
    Things I have tried a few times have been to follow through all the other threads and the Adobe support pages - Uninstalling the product through Programs first, running Windows Install Cleanup, running the Adobe CS4 Clean Script - when I do these things in this order both of the cleanup utilities don't find any installs of Photoshop CS4, so it doesn't appear they are doing anything.  I have disabled everything on the PC, done a selective startup, turned off UAC, firewall, anti-virus - everything suggested.  Still, the same error persists.
    I have even run my Registry Mechanic and cleaned up that, and of course checked registry permissions etc.  Please help!

    You may want to install Vista SP2. It contains a lot of fixes and has the newer 4.5 installer.
    Also if Vista is set for English then CS4 has to be set as US English upon install (I think someone already pointed that out).
    Before install go services and set the windows installer to auto and start it. Also good idea to turn off windows defender.
    Go to MSconfig and turnoff as many start up items that you don't need running (you will have to reboot).
    Ensure nothing Adobe related is running in the back ground before install. (someone already mention this I think)
    Anti-virus: I turned mine off during install.
    I did not install AIR nor Device Central on my system as I would never use them.

    Anyone else have any idea what might be causing my problem?  The other thing I was going to try was contacting Adobe support, but can I do this for the trial version?  When I tried to log a case it kept asking me to select my product, but I don't have one yet....
    Thanks.

  • Can't install photoshop cs6 on brand new iMac - "Media db error: 18"

    At my company we recently hired a web designer – given his insistence on using the Adobe software, we decided to give Photoshop a try.
    We downloaded a trial version and tried to install it on the brand new iMac (no previous installations of adobe stuff) we just bought for the new desigher, but... it's not even installing!
    The installation process halts at around 2% and an error screen appears which gives generic instructions ("restart your computer and retry") and points to a log file where one can read "Media db error: 18".
    Of course we tried restarting the computer, cleaning up ~/Library, re-downloading the installer... no good – we then downloaded and run an adobe cleanup utility... still no good.
    Some people on the internet report they have the same problem... we found several questions on the matter, but no answer (besides "restart your computer" and other generic stuff that we tried and does not work).
    We then called Adobe support (Italian support) and they told us they don't give support for trial versions, like we should sight unseen buy a (pricey!) software we can't even install! .
    Can anyone here help?

    Thanks for your help!
    No, no beta or previous installations of any Adobe products – we are trying to install to a brand new iMac (just bought last week from the store): it has the latest version of everything (Os: Lion 10.7.4)
    Is there any debug switch I can turn on on the installer to get further information on what's going wrong? ("media db error" is a somewhat laconic error message)

  • Cannot install Photoshop CS4 on Windows 8.1

    Trying to install Photoshop CS4 on Windows 8.1 but upon the initial "Checking system profile" step of the installation I keep getting this: "Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact adobe customer support for assistance". Anyone know how to fix this?

    Hi srr49,
    You can try installing in compatibility mode and check.
    Windows 8.1 is not a supported OS for Photoshop CS4. I would recommend purchasing the latest Photoshop CC.

  • UNABLE TO INSTALL pHOTOSHOP eLEMENTS ONTO A NEW HARD DRIVE

    I am unable to install my Photoshop Elements onto my new solid state hard drive

    Thank you for replying. Sorry for the caps.
    I am trying to reinstall Elements 10 on Win 7. I have a new hard drive. I can install Organizer but not Editor. It rolls back after trying to install Editor. I do not have the exact error message handy.
    I have done an exhaustive review of the symptoms and applied the suggestions in every thread but no luck .
    I downloaded a trial of Elements 13 which worked. Then I tried to install Elements 11 but without success.

  • Error Message after installing Photoshop & Illustrator (CS2) on new iMac

    When I launch Illustrator or Photoshop (both CS2) on my new iMac 2.8 GHz, I get the error message: "Connection Failed. server may not exist or is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and your network connection and try again."
    I click OK and they open, but this behavior is getting OLD. I've uninstalled and re-installed and I continue to get the error every time I open these applications. It only happens with Illustrator and Photoshop. I'm in the process of transferring all my files and apps from my old G4 which is connected via ethernet. I've de-activated and removed the old copies on the G4. Does anyone know what is causing this error message and how I can remedy the situation? Thanks for your help.
    (24" 2.*GHz Core 2 Duo iMac / OS 10.5.6 / 2 GB memory)

    I've just done almost exactly this. Moved to a brand new imac runnning Leopard, (but I've got the newer model imac - 4Gb, 2.93 Ghz 10.5.6) and not yet bought CS4.
    I installed both Illustrator and Photoshop CS2 from the disc (migrating didn't work, suprise suprise so I just wiped everything off and started with a clean install) but both still refused to start until I'd repaired permissions. After I did that it worked fine.
    Even using Rosetta, Photoshop CS2 seems to be faster than on the G5 imac I've just replaced (especially using an external firewire 800 drive as a scratch disc). And no apparent bugs so far.

  • Can I install Photoshop 7 onto my new Windows Vista?

    Hello,
    My new Windows Vista is a 64 bit. Can I safely install my old Photoshop 7, which is probably 32 bit, onto my new Windows Vista? What kind of problems could there be?

    >Is CS3 terribly different than Photoshop 7?
    nope. just has some new features. everything you used to do, you still can.
    > I guess I just want to keep on doing the same things that I used to do on my Photoshop 7. I'm not a professional and am just scanning and touching up my old photographs and negatives.
    well i can say it does offer lots of improvements for that. i'm not a pro either and i use it for pretty much what you do, plus making things like invitations and thank you cards and the like. things like smart sharpen and the hilight/shadow adjustment setting and photo filters and the healing tools really make working with your old photos so much easier than with 7! i'd say the upgrade is worth it just for the hilight/shadow stuff. you'd be amazed at how much detail there is in many pictures that look almost totally black to the eye!
    and like we said, if you want a feature later, you're going to wind up paying full price again instead of just the upgrade price because when cs3 came out, they instituded a no upgrades prior to 3 versions back. right now that's 7. when cs4 comes out, people with 7 lose their ability to buy at upgrade price.

  • Cannot install Photoshop CS4 from Design Standard Educational

    I just purchased the educational version of Adobe CS4 Design Standard and had no problem installing everything but Photoshop CS4 (which is what I really need)!  It does not show up on the installation menu when I run startup, but it seems to be on the install DVD in a couple of .dmg packages. I currently have photshop elements 6 for Mac installed, and I previously had the Photoshop CS4 ext trial with LightRoom 2 installed, but removed them from my system once the trial was over. Why isn't Photoshop CS4 installing and how can I fix it? Do I need to reinstall the trial software and then try and activate the serial number? Is the install DVD disk bad?
    I had a look through the forums here and don't seem to have any of the same issues.  I have three disks in the package, 1-Applications, 2-Content, and 3-Learning.
    I can see the .dmg files for Photoshop on the 1-Applications disk, but am not sure if I expand them will they install Photoshop properly.  I managed to install InDesign, Illustrator and Acrobat 9 with the assorted pieces without any problems, and still have about 100GB of space left on the drive.
    I'm installing it on my MacBook Pro, with 250GB HD, and 4GB of RAM with the 512MB video card.  I previously ran the trial version on the machine without any issues, so I am assuming that there are no problems with the minimum requirements to run the software.  The one issue I am thinking that might be affecting it is that I do have Safari 4 on my machine...
    Any ideas?

    That did the trick.  I think I removed the old trial version by just dragging it into the trash and not using the uninstall function.  Adobe customer service really sucks as well.  I submitted a ticket to them about this and they cancelled it as the registration for CS4 Design Standard wasn't listed in the drop down menu when sent it in, despite it being registered.  Obviously Customer Service people who can't read!!
    Just goes to show that this forum is a better trouble-shooting environment!  The only funny thing with using the clean tool, is that I had to completely remove all programs installed with Design Standard and then re-install everything.  Very clunky.  They should get some more people from Apple to design the Adobe installation/uninstallation process...
