Civilization IV Won't Run on Yosemite

I am running a late 2011 Macbook Pro and upgraded to Yosemite this weekend.  Sadly, I can no longer launch Sid Meier's Civilization IV game since the Yosemite update.  Game was working fine before the weekend.  The launch screen for the game freezes with "Init Python," indicating that it cannot initiate these files.
Please help!  Thank you.

what is the exact error message?
try booting to install disk 1 (hold c on boot with disk in comp to boot to disk), then open disk utilty (from menu bar utilities>disk utility for 10.4; from menu bar installer>disk utility for 10.3) and repair disk....

  • Iphoto 9.6 won't run with Yosemite 10.10.1

    I'm running a mid 2011 Macbook Pro with Yosemite 10.10.1 and iPhoto 9.6.  After upgrading OS to 10.10.1 yesterday, iPhoto won't completely load.  The software opens but the "death spiral" icon just keeps spinning, and my photo library won't load.  Any suggestions to fix it?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Server 3.2.2 won't run under Yosemite - how do I administrate my Mavericks servers?

    Subject says it all.
    I (stupidly) upgraded my primary development system to Yosemite, and now my Server app (3.2.2) won't launch so I can't remotely manage any of my Mavericks servers (which I simply don't have the time upgrade at this time).
    Any suggestions?

    You need OS X Server 4 on your Mac with Yosemite. With that you should be able to manage the other servers with that and WGM 10.8
    I have not read about another way, and that is how we had to do it as well for the servers still on older versions of OS X.

  • Power Teacher Gradebook won't run with Yosemite

    Hello everyone,
    I recently updated to Yosemite, I was previously lion 10.7.5, my java was and still is version 7. The application power teacher grade book now will no longer launch on my computer even though I haven't updated the Java which was the previous issue with it several years ago. I need this for work and could really use some help if anyone out there has experience with this.
    Thanks!!!

    First, never upgrade the OS unless you know your mission critical software will work with it. Second, visit the developer's site to see if there is an upgrade that will work. Third, if you must then look for a suitable and compatible substitute. Fourth, if all else fails restore your backup of your former system version.

  • .mov files won't run in Yosemite

    Hi Jeff,
    On my main hard drive I have been trying to reinstall CS4 but the process just stalls out with no error message.  On my second hard drive when I click on any CS4 application, I get a message that "licensing for this product has expired"  or something close to that.  My second hard drive doesn't have any OS (Long story) but Apple is sending me an older OS that might run the License repair program.  I was thinking the license repair program might fix why the reinstallation isn't working on my main (Yosemite) hard drive, but that's just a wild guess.  I have always had problems with the CS4 Production Premium but Adobe has, through hours on the phone, figured out how to get me going again.  With luck, maybe the older OS that apple is sending me will be able to run the license repair program on my second hard drive and I'll be able to use cs4 off that drive.  Thanks for your reply.  I don't know if anything I've written is helpful to you.  If you are an Adobe tech a phone call might be nice.   Dean

  • Many apps won't run any longer on yosemite

    All of a sudden on my iMac with Yosemite, many apps won't run, Word, PhotoShop Elements, TrueCrypt .... most are not
    64 bit, but what happened with update it the last week that would cause this

    If you have a 1G (first generation) iPod touch then it can only go to iOS 3.1.3. To identify yours:

  • My accounts program won't run without legacy Java SE6 runtime since I upgraded to OS x Yosemite but I can't download it

    My "Solar" accounts program won't run without "legacy Java SE6 runtime" since I upgraded my iMac desktop to OS x Yosemite but I can't download it, nothing happens when you click on the link to apple support

    Okay, I'm not a Genius, but, I'm smarter than the one I spoke to at the Apple Store.They told me that they couldn't help me with Legacy Java SE6 Runtime. Adobe has the worst support in the industry so don't call them.
    If you have a Time Machine backup, go to one that pre dates your install of Yosemite. Go to the System/Library/Java and drag copy the folder to your internal hard disk. Now you will need the Administrator password. Once copied, drag the old Java folder into your System/Library folder and when asked to replace, click OK. Restart your Mac and you will have use of your software that requires Legacy Java SE6 Runtime.
    I'm totally done with Apple since they are trying to box me into a corner. Have fun kids.

  • Why photoshop cs5.5 won't open on yosemite?

    I have photoshop cs5.5 (installed on a macbook air running on yosemite), it had been working perfectly and suddenly it won't open. I get a message: "install flash player" (already done, as well as having installed the java se6 /2014 runtime and installed and uninstalled photoshop itself several times) but the only thing I see is that never-ending spinning color wheel. I've been through many threads and forums but haven't found a solution to it. It's worth mentioning that it only happens with photoshop, as i'm able to work fine with other adobe apps (illustrator, in design, bridge,etc)
    Does anyone know what might have happened and a possible solution?

    Without proper system info such as what Mac and what version of OSX nobody can say much and the logs from your Log Viewer would also help. Well, whatever. As a start run teh cleaner tool and reinstal lthe software.

  • My app store won't load on yosemite

    My app store won't load. I click the icon and it shows up in the side bar, bounces, and disappears.
    I've tried opening it from another location, like from the applications folder and from system preferences. I've tried restarting and I've tried safe rebooting. I cleared all the caches and history in safari and chrome.
    When I look at the console and try the app it reads as follows:
    "1/16/15 12:47:38.137 AM App Store[1175]: Unable to load nib file: MainMenu, exiting"

    I currently run on yosemite. I hope I can get some advice! I can't make any updates

  • CS3 installs but won't run

    Ok - not sure if this goes in this section or not.. but it's a technical question.
    My b/f bought me a Dell Laptop last week. It has the recommended minimum of everything adobe says it needs for photoshop CS3 (see below for 1721 specs)
    When I installed it on the laptop - it was slow, but said it installed. But when I go to open up Photoshop, it opens the screen - and then just hangs. After about 5 minutes it says not responding and I close it. Any of the other programs that came with won't even get that far. I click on them and it gives the little "thinking" circle (as I call it.. lol) and then nothing.
    I have read that CS3 has issues with Vista - but their site says the home premium should work. I've also read about 64 bit issues.. but the OS is 32 bit - so it's capable of running 32bit systems... I guess.
    I called adobe yesterday after installing and reinstalling CS3 15+ times... with the same issue. I was on the phone for about 2 hours with them. Basically - they have NO CLUE what it would be since it installs fine and opens with no error messages. I checked the log files and there is nothing in there I see that says any kind of error.
    I have disable windows defender, uninstalled McAfee and google desktop (all are known to cause issues with CS3), I have ALL non MS startup services turned off.. I have turned off the MS users control.. all suggested by the adobe tech.
    I have installed using the run as administrator. Nothing. Created a new admin account and installed on that user and opened on reg admin account. Nothing. (again typical things that correct cs3 install issues)
    The last thing the guy said was that it might be a video issue. I checked and there aren't any issues mentioned and no driver updates listed.
    We tryed installing this on my b/f's laptop. He bought the exact one I have (except his is red.. mine blue.. lol) and it does the EXACT same thing...
    So today we called dell. they say it's a software issue and won't answer any questions for free. Apparently only hardware support is free... But they won't accept this is a hardware conflict with the software..
    errrrr
    Anybody have any clues on this?

    Rob - thanks for taking a stab at this.
    I have tried installing from the DVD and also from the zip file. the zip file was extracted to the hard drive brfore I ran it - and I ran it as administrator.
    And when it stalls - it gives the (NOT RESPONDING) tag on the window - which usually means that even if I leave it (and I have for up to 20 minutes) - still nothing.
    Here's the update from my dealings with DEll today...
    Dell tech support guy told me that it was a know issue that CS3 WON'T run on Vista and that Adobe is working the issue
    Told them that I knew others that were running it on Vista and it worked fine. They had no answer.
    Then I waited for the Technical support manger to call. This is after expressing my displeasure to the technical supervisor about them trying to pawn this issue off on anyone else but themselves. Why can't they go grab a 1721 off the shelf and replicate the issue and try to figure it out from there?!?!?!
    I used to work on a network helpdesk.. if I tried to pull that crap answer without trying to replicate the issue and AT LEAST try to find an answer.. I wouldn't have lasted very long at all!!!!
    The Tech manager told me to call customer support and ask for an OS swap (from vista to XP) because they don't know what the problem is and so it muct be a Vista compatibility issue
    I call customer support. They say that they no longer will give out XP since it is a step backwards. And to install XP on the machine ourselves (even a liscensed copy) would void the warranty. They suggest I talk to sales about swapping the laptop out with a "more compatible" one. Which isn't a totally bad idea since I really do think it is an AMD/ATI conflict.
    They transfer me to Sales.. ohh - you used the Employee Purchase program.. you need to talk to them.. and they transfer me.
    The EPP people tell me.. ohhhh you didn't actually go through us since you bought it off the Dell Outlet store. So they transfer me.
    The dell outlet store says they will be more than happy to swap me out to an Intel based machine.
    Only catch is the Intels are more expensive. They don't have any for the price we paid for the amd's. Fot about $40 more I can get one with a slower processer, a gig less ram, no dvd writer, but with a 160gb hd. To get compatible to mine - would be about $150 more.
    And they only have silver in the low end, and black or brown in the higher. Not that I really give a s@!t what the color is.. but it brings up the main reason I am sooo pissed abput all of this....
    Why should I have to pay more money, settle on doing without option/features want/need.. just because THEY don't want to take the time to figure out what the real issue is?!?!?! Why isn't it them doing these calls and doing all this troubleshooting.. Why am I being peanilzed for THEM not wanting to do their jobs....
    Told the B/F that I am done with Dell. That I don't want the laptop anymore and I don't want any other one from them. He says he'll pay the extra and get me the other one.. but that isn't the point....
    Not sure what my next move is.

  • How do I install the FM10 licensing fix when Adobe Update Installer won't run?

    Adobe Update Installer won't run so can't install FM10 licensing fix
    This question is Not Answered.(Mark as assumed answered)
    Aug 9, 2013 12:09 PM
           Tags (edit): none (add)  
    Because FM10 began crashing with "fatal" errors whenever I tried to generate a TOC for a small (65 page) book, I researched workarounds and none of them worked. Now that I have delivered a crippled deliverable via Acrobat manipulations, I would like to fix FM. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, got some updates, and then received the "licensing fix" error that popped up in January. I'm wondering why this fix was included not in the updates. That said, the licensing fix package, first, would not unzip so I downloaded it again. I unzipped it but I got a message that Adobe Updater Installer could not run and after several clicks I found that file. I reinstalled Adoble Update Installer but it still does not run.
    I am running Windows XP and have TCS 3.5.I uninstalled FM and RH but not Acrobat, Captivate, or Photoshop.
    So, now what? Listen to my supervisor who says never use FM again?
    P.S. Why do I have to enter a title for my question and then do it again when this page opens??

    Give Adobe Support a call or contact the TCS team at [email protected] - something in your environment is causing the installer to fail (I'd guess).
