Change from CS4 on XP32 to Windows 7 64

I want to take advantage of doing a fresh install of 64 bit OS to use RAM to its fullest. I have done compatibility tests thru windows with CS4 Production Premium and it says that it is not compatible. Are there any updates to when there would be a patch, or is there an alternative. I have tried to find Vista 64 but not having any luck with 7 everywhere.
If I can use CS4 with 7 then problem solved, I see some people are having problems with installing individual programs within the suites
AMD Phenom llx4 3.2
8G 1333 Ram
Any help would be apprciated

ASUS P5Q Motherboard
2.40 GHz Intel Core2 Quad Q6600
8 Gb RAM
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
SAMSUNG 500 Gb Hard disk x 2 (not RAIDed)
2 x optical drives (DVD writers)
ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics
Java 6 Update 17 32-bit and 64-bit both installed (though see in list of
what I've tried!)
Adobe CS4 Design Premium DVD edition: attempted install, first time:
extremely slow process with Javascript errors (png clippings attached)
which meant I couldn't click on any dialog buttons (because there
weren't any visible) so, even if I clicked to 'continue running scripts
on this page' I couldn't tell it that I had put the second DVD in.
That's when I started the phone calls to Adobe.
Carried on trying whilst waiting for Adobe on the phone. Essentially
the same, repeated, javascript errors over and over again.
Tried uninstalling CS4, then uninstalling Java (both versions),
reinstalling Java (one version), reinstalling CS4 - failed again, try
the same process with other version of Java, failed again.
Adobe suggested I copy the DVDs to my hard disk to provide an
installation source on my hard disk (ie a workaround to avoid having to
click on the non existent dialog button to tell the machine I'd put DVD
two in the drive). So I did that. Then, after about four attempts to
start the process, eventually I got it started and some of CS4 installed
- Photoshop was working, Acrobat was working... I hadn't tested
everything and I asked Adobe (in a support request online - I did not
want to go through the phone call hell again) to tell me what I should
see in my Start Menu under 'Adobe' for the product I have (Design
Premium). They never answered that question.
Yesterday I tried to open Fireworks. It wouldn't open with an error
about localized resource files not being found... advised to repair or
reinstall. (I can't see the error message again - I uninstalled
Fireworks with a view to reinstalling but I can't get it to reinstall at
all... error messages again as in the 'again some more' png file
attached. All I got was a range of different errors - firstly one which
said the installation source could not be found (it's on the hard disk
where I put it the first time) then it seemed to go past that and simply
fail to install - presenting me with a red 'x' in the box and a
suggestion to press a button for more information... which just
generated more javascript errors when pressed so I got nowhere.
I am now faced with an incomplete installation, can't get Fireworks to
install, am too scared to uninstall what I've got just yet as I may well
be unable to reinstall it at all (if the Fireworks experience is
anything to go by) and don't want to lose all the functionality.
What I'm currently doing: downloading the trial version of CS4 Design
Premium in case my very first supposition was correct (which Adobe just
completely ignored when I phoned them) - that the DVD media in my CS4
Design Premium box were, in fact, defective in the first place. Having
read so many others having installed on 64-bit Win 7 without problem...
and not finding other people with similar error messages despite
Googling lots... I suspect Adobe just sent me dud disks and didn't want
to accept that. The download is huge - and I'm on the end of over 8 km
of copper wire with a slow internet connection - so it'll take all day
and night to download.
I plan to deactivate... then try to uninstall (though I'm not sure even
that will work!)... the install the trial version and activate it using
my serial no. What do you think? I then plan to write to Adobe's CEO
to complain about their appalling customer support telephone service
(they just argued with me about whether or not I had the JRE installed -
telling me that I didn't because the Java download was different (I was
right, it was installed, they refused to accept that)).
I'm very frustrated and just want it to work!
Huge thanks in advance for any light you may be able to shed on this.

Color Balance Adj Layer Characteristics Changed from CS4- CS5?

Maybe some guru with better connections to Adobe knows the answer to this. (or maybe I just forgot).
I just discovered (and I don't think it is pilot error) that the characteristic behavior of the Color Balance Adjustment Layer is different in CS5 than it was in CS4/CS3. (Much stronger in CS4/CS3).
In addition, there is also an associated behavior that is like a buried legacy mode that is not made visible to the user. Here is what I mean.
If I create an image in CS4 with a single Color Balance Adj Layer, I get an adjusted image.
If I open that same PSD file in CS5, the same image is displayed.
If I use the same base image, yet create the Color Balance Adj Layer from within CS5, the adjusted image is different than the prior two.   So the Color Adjustment Layer acts like it has a hidden legacy mode where the characteristics are one type if created in CS4/CS3 yet a different characteristic if created in CS5.
My mind might be slipping (or my cold has the better of me) because I do not remember this as a documented change and I searched the internet for "What's new in CS5" etc etc. I don't remember anything on other forums about this either.
I guess the good news is, the new characteristic of the Color Balance Adjustment Layer is better behaved with a transfer curve with less clipping for highlights and shadows. Very similar to the better behavior of the change of the Brightness/Contrast Adjustment Layer going from CS2 to CS3.
Here are some comparison images.
This is the Layer Stack Used with Base Image of simple B to W gradient with CB Layer on top with just the highlights pegged to red. This is the exact same Layer Stack for all of the images shown:
Here is the first image. This was created in PS CS4 and displayed from CS4 with the conditions show above:
This is the same image from above that was saved as PSD with profile and them imported to PS CS5 with same profile. There was no change:
This next image is using the same base gradient, yet then creating the CB Layer from within PS CS5 with the same parameters, only the Red pegged for the Highlights:
Does someone have an easy answer for this. Can someone duplicate this and confirm the change from CS4 to CS5. A test by someone else would either confirm I am off base with pilot error or there is something to this.
And yes, all the images were sRGB and kept in sRGB for creation/display. All Screenshot images were the images brought up side by side on the same color managed monitor.   All Edit > Color Settings were identical.
Thanks in advance for any help
John

OK, Chris, but before I perform my act of self flaggelation for the benefit for all and my extra embarrassment, let me add in some useful information about the Color Balance Adj Layer that could be helpful.
I was working with another individual who wanted a better understanding the color balance adj layer, what is was exactly doing, how the shadows, midtones, and highlights interacted, and the differences with preserve luminosity checked or not, and also why the preserve luminosity was so hard to predict (e.g. did not really preserve luminoisty).
Without going into the deails of all of that, the tidbit I will leave as far as penance for my stupid original post above is that the Color Balance Adj Layer with the Preserve Luminosity box checked does a reasonable job or preserving luminoisty for the midtone adjustments yet definitely does not for the shadow and highlight adjustments.
An easy workaround for this is to just set the Color Balance Adj Layer Blend to Color which preserves Luminosity of the image presented from lower layers while maintaining the Color as best it can from using the CB Adj Layer (It holds the Hue and does its best to keep the same Saturation yet the Luminoisty from the presented image from lower layers takes prescendence). This does a much better job at preserving Luminosity than using the checkbox option.    I usually use this approach and keep the Preserve Luminiosity box turned off.
The error that I made was during the fairly involved exchange with this other individual, at some point I accidentally set the Layer Mask for the CB Adj Layer to 50% gray and did not notice that it had changed from the default white. Much further down the line, when this other individual could not exactly recreate my results, he mentioned working in CS3. Thinking this odd, I pulled up CS3, created the image from scratch (without the erroneous mask change to 50% gray) so therefore I duplicated his results and did not realize the error was in my original Layer Stack. To make a long story short, I went and checked for differences in all system settings, profiles, Color Settings, opacity settings, Blend settings, Layer Style settings (and their options) etc, etc and overlooked a change in the Mask gray level.       When I quickly flashed back and forth between the two documents/stack it finally popped out at me. Mea Culpa.

SEO changes from CS4 to CS5

My site that mainly has Flash was recently updated with a file made from CS5. In my google dashboard there are a lot of new keywords that are only in the Flash file. My page ranking also dropped from 4 to 11. Does anyone know if any changes from CS4 to CS5 could have caused this? If so, what can I do to disable this compatibility with search engines?

I am not an expert on SEO matters and do not keep up with advancements relative to it. It is unlikely the Flash version has anything to do with your SEO rankings. SEO is based on the information that the engines can see when they read the page. You should be able to see the words you mention listed in the embedding code if they are being included in your dashboard. Flash will create comment tags in the html for different key elements in a file such as links used and whatnot. As far as I know, they cannot yet see inside the Flash file, only the external embedding code that is used.

My tabs abruptly change from tabs to new firefox windows.

When I have several tabs open to different website, clicking on a particular tab frequently leads firefox to change the tab into a new instance of firefox, that is, a new window. This began happening a few weeks ago and seems to be happening more frequently. It happens on different computers also.

Welcome to the discussions,
a manual backup will help:
Disable autosync in itunes, connect your phone, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures taken with the phone and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your phone got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.

The network location profile changes from "Domain" to "Private" in Windows 8.1.

I have a network which is centered around a Server 2012R2 installation with the Server Essentials Role installed. I have installed and configured a DNS server which points to the router and open DNS as forwarders.
There are 3 physical computers on my network and two additional virtual ones (the vm's are hosted on the server).
The server shows the domain profile.
VM1 - Server 2012R2 virtual machine core install hosting a SQL server - it shows the domain profile
VM2 - Windows 8.1 enterprise evaluation - Shows the domain profile
Desktop - Windows 8.1 pro with media center - shows the domain profile
Laptop - Windows 8.1 enterprise evaluation - shows private profile
Surface Pro - Running Windows 8.1 pro - shows private profile.
They all have network discovery enabled for all network types.
As I was writing this my surface randomly shifted to domain again. However my laptop shows private (I am writing this from my laptop)
This is a problem because it appears my devices are having trouble finding and discovering other network devices because of this.
All of the devices have the same gateway, dns settings, and subnets settings.
All of the workstation except the VM server have the server essentials connector installed.
Please let me know if there is any additional helpful information I can provide to get this resolved.

IMPORTANT: I found the solution. Another user figured it out and posted the answer on another thread.
Please spread this around to all other Outlook support techs so they know to point people in the direction of the quick (though very obscure) fix to this problem.

ID import of Excel what has changed from CS4 to CS5 (CS5.5)

Hi all
I am writing ID scripts that clean up the formating on finanzial data. I need to fix up hundrets of tables, hence the scripting.
As my client has not moved from CS 4 to CS 5.5 the script create unexpected results.
As it turns out the import of the same Excel Sheet in CS4 vs CS 5.x creates a different starting file. (The script picks up on the lines, and this is where things go wrong)
Here is the source file in excel:
Here is the import in CS 4
Here is the import in CS 5.5
As you can see there is many more lines in the import of CS 5.5. (I also tried CS 5)
I have tested different Excel source files and I consistantly get bad results, that is the ID file looks different from the Excel source.
Question:
Has anybody else found this issue.
May this be a bug in the new CS versions?
Any help/hints greatly appreciated
Romano

Thanks for your answer Peter
The files / screen grabs were created manually. No scripting.
The same source Excel file was used.
Clearly CS4 vs CS5x are creating a different output.
All the lines you can see on the ID files are bottomEdgeStroke lines.
CS4 renders the table more or less as seen in the Excel sheet. CS5 adds extra strokes.
These are the things I can see at this point. I guess I am looking for the thing that I can not see, but maybe somebody else has come accross and can point out... or some sort of confirmation of this so I can get back to my client with some definitive answer.
Thank you again and talk soon

LoaderInfo change from CS4 to CS5

Hey guys, hoping somebody has an idea on this. My code for loading in the FlashVars parameters was working in CS4. I opened the file and published it in CS5. Now all of my parameters are showing up as undefined. My code is below let me know if you have any ideas on what changed.
var gameid:String = new String;
try {
    var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
    gameid = paramObj["gameID"];
} catch (error:Error) {
    trace("oops: "+error);
    //gameid = "2430";

The reason moving CS4 shortcuts forward doesn't work has to do with changed and new behaviors of some modifier keys. I haven't tried it, but I don't think there is any reason that CS5 shortcuts won't work in CS6.
As far as complete removal of previous versions, all of the experienced users here will tell you that is not required for installation and that your license allows for a transition period where you may keep an old version active. New versions do not disable or conflict with previous versions of ID, and having your old version installed is actually quite important if yiou need to continue to work on legacy documents in the original format or to collaborate with other users who do not have the latest version.

Cheapest upgrade from CS4 Mac to CS6 Windows?

I purchased an education version of CS4 Web Premium for Mac back in 2008 for $600. I am now switching to PC, but do not want to lose out on using my software. I tried to open an Adobe case for switching licenses over to Windows, but was told it was no longer allowed for CS4. I thought about transferring the license over to a friend, but apparently that is not possible for an education version.
What are my options? I need the software, but will be useless once I switch over to PC.

There are no options. You simply need to buy a new license or sign up for CC. CS4 is no longer eligible for any upgrades.

Have a 1st generation Apple TV, which is not showing as a device in iTunes. Had no problems with Apple TV until I changed from a Windows PC to an iMac. I have changed my IP address, sub mask address and router address in the Apple TV, Can anyone help?

I have a 1st generation apple TV, which was working perfectly until I changed from a Windows PC to a Imac. The Apple TV will not show in Itunes. I have changed the IP address, sub mask and Router IP address. Since changing I have switched everything of and on again. Can anyone help?

I have a new router and computer. I have just remembered that just before my old PC died on me, I transferred my iTunes library to a hard drive. I can't remember exactly just how I got my library back, but there are definately things in my library now that were in my library on my old PC! Hope this makes sense. What do you mean by same location? Do you mean in the same place in the house?
Another difference I have just thought of was my old router was connected directly to the computer bu I have not been able to do this with Sky as my PC is not near a phone socket! Will this make a difference?

Administrator cannot change printer properties on "Advanced" tab from "Devices and Printers" on Windows Server 2012 R2

Hello, dear Colleagues.
User with administrators rights cannot change printer properties on "Advanced" tab from "Devices and Printers" on Windows Server 2012 R2.
If to launch "Devices and Printers" on server, all printer properties on "Advanced" tab are inactive (see screen below).
But I can change it manually with "Print Management". Features become active.
The main purpose - to uncheck "Enable advanced printing features" with powershell
scripts.
$erroractionpreference = "continue"
$colPrinters = Get-Wmiobject -Class win32_printer -computername print_server -Filter "Name like 'printer1' or Name like 'printer2' or Name like 'printer3' or Name like 'printer4' or Name like 'printer5' or Name like 'printer6'" # get printers on server and filter with names
ForEach ($objPrinter in $colPrinters) { # get printer details from WMI
If ($objPrinter.RawOnly -ne "True") { # check that Advanced printing fetaures is turned on
Write-host $objPrinter.Name
Write-Host $objPrinter.RawOnly
$objPrinter.RawOnly = "True" # Untick and update the object in WMI
$objPrinter.Put()
It works on Windows 7 workstation, but does not on print server Windows Server 2012 R2 with error
Exception calling "Put" with "0" argument(s): "Generic failure "
At \\print_server\c$\DisableAdvancedPrintingFeatures.ps1:8 char:17
+ $objPrinter.Put()
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : DotNetMethodException
Can you help me with that? Look like somethings with rights.
Thank you.

Hello, Alan
Morris.
Thanks for your reply.
I've tried to runs PS Script both locally and remotely, previously running Powershell ISE as Administrator.
I've noticed interesting thing - if to
check "Enable advanced printing features"
manually thru Print Management snap-in, script works fine. But, time to time after some manipulations on print server, this advanced feature returns to enabled state automatically by system, I think. In this case PS Script does not work. Next, if to disable
feature manually again (thru Print Management snap-in),
and enable manually again, PS Script will work. Very strange situation.
Thanks.

I change iMac hard disk from basic to dynamic in windows 7

I change iMac hard disk from basic to dynamic in windows 7, after restart windows I saw that there is not any OS X for selecting by press and hold "Option" key.
I don't have any backup and the original DVD from the seller. I live in Iran and here there is no any Apple seller or supporting center.
What should I do to have OS X again ?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You probably erased the hard drive by doing that. If you have got a Mid 2010 or later iMac, you can use Internet Recovery to reinstall OS X > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718 Hold Command, Option (Alt) and R keys while your computer is starting.
Then, open Disk Utility, choose your hard drive at the top of the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase it in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". Finally, close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X.
If you have got an older Mac, call Apple to get replacement DVDs > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

Imgburn will read the ACTUAL disc brand from the disc, which is not always the same as the box label (Memorex is notorious for buying "anything" and putting it inside a Memorex box)
When you write to disc with Imgburn, use the slowest possible speed setting, so your burner has the best chance to create "good, well formed" laser burn holes... since no DVD player is required to read a burned disc, having a "good" one from a high quality blank will help
