CS4 Design Premium on a new iMac with Yosemite

I am having trouble installing CS4 Design Premium from the original disks on a new iMac with Yosemite. It keeps going to an upgrade request and won't accept my serial number.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

I am not a Mac person but it sounds to me CS4 is too old for Yosemite.

Adobe have not tested the CS4 on Windows 7 but you can try to install it should work.

Error 150:30 on new iMac with Yosemite

I upgraded from an 8-year old iMac to a new iMac with Yosemite. After migrating everything over, I can't run PSE because it said some files were missing. I re-installed the software using my original disk. Then I got a 150:30 Error. Help!

You can never, never migrate an installed copy of PSE. It's just too complex and has bits scattered all over your hard drive. Unfortunately, one of the things that does migrate is the file that tells PSE it's not on the authorized drive anymore. To deal with this at this point you will need to download and run this:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
After which you can go around and manually remove all the bits of PSE that you can find, not only from Applications, but also from the library at the top level of your hard drive>application support>adobe, and your username>library>preferences. Spotlight will not help you here; it's programmed to skip these kinds of files. If you need help finding those libraries, post back.

Can I mirror my ipad mini to my new imac with Yosemite (or Mavericks?)

Hello!
I would like to mirror what is on my ipad mini to my new imac with Mavericks 10.9.5 or Yosemite. (In about this Mac, it says 10.9.5, so I guess my question would apply to either Mavericks or Yosemite, since I can update if needed.)
I have seen old posts about this, saying that you must use additional 3rd party software.
Is this still the case, or have things changed with new macs and Mavericks 10.9.5 or Yosemite?
Is there a way to use Apple TV to do this? or Is Apple TV only for HDTVs?
Thanks!

Thank you, Demo! I had no idea that was possible. Looks like that would be the answer, except.....
I did some additional research just now, and it looks like it was a blessing to me that my new imac didn't come with Yosemite, like advertised, because forums say my Adobe CS3 won't work with Yosemite.
Looks like it would be cheaper for me to get a 3rd party app to do the mirroring, rather than paying monthly for Adobe cc.
Unless someone else knows of another solution that would work with Mavericks instead?
Thanks again!!!

Problem with new iMac (with Yosemite): Licensing has stopped working Error 150:30

I have just bought a new iMac and used the Migration Assistant to transfer all my existing programs from my old computer.
When I try to launch my copy of InDesign CS4, I get the error message:
Licensing for this product has stopped working
Error 150:30
Because new iMacs do not have disk drives, I cannot reinstall using my original DVD disks.
Adobe’s online support team have said they are unable to help.
The Licensing Repair application does not work in Yosemite
Does anyone have any suggestions?
With many thanks
Greg

Download CS4 products
And fix the permissions on the relevant Library folders. The rest is between you and your Mac - as far as Adobe are concerned, CS4 is officially not compatible with Yoesemite.

IPhoto worked initially on new iMac with yosemite then I did a migrate of application only now it won't open

I have new iMac retina display. I manually loaded my photo library from old mac, it asked to upgrade library I said yes and it all was working fine. Then I did a migration on applications only from my older macbook pro 17 inch and now I am getting
I have trashed iPhoto and reinstalled it and it still gets this error
I have reloaded the old photo library I still get this error message.
Help please
Thanks

In my broken
NyxAudioAnalysis.framework file on the new iMac Yosemite
I only had a file called headers and it was broken.
I copied the
NyxAudioAnalysis.framework file
(which had 3 files like your example above.)
from my old mac and then after making a copy of the broken one 'just in case' I inserted the copy from my old mac and iPhoto worked.

How can I get the older versions of iWorks ('13 the ones that came with Mavericks) now that I've purchased a new iMac with Yosemite?

It just hit me the other day (when my New Mac was on its way) that it would ship with Yosemite and of course ONLY the newest versions of iWorks. This machine is for a person in our business office and she should not have a different version of Pages and Numbers than everyone else in the company. (we upgrade those apps all together so exchanged files can be opened by everyone). I understand the Migration Assistant will only keep the newer versions when Applications is selected in the process and the App Store will not let me get the older version. This machine must have the older (Mavericks) versions of those applications so I'm considering partitioning and installing Mavericks even though it would bork my support. Is there any other way to install those versions on Yosemite? Thanks!

Thanks for the response. I understand and we Don't have volume licenses. All the apps we download are from our single school admin account. Would it still be piracy if I copied them from her old machine to her new one (both being company machines)
If not, Is there any way to accomplish what I trying to do with compliance? Purchase the apps from somewhere?

My new iMac with Yosemite displays photo icons with a white border. How can I remove this border?

How can I remove the white border/'frame' around the photo icons, which I store in folders other than iPhoto?
My computer is an iMac 27" (Late 2014 5K Retina display) with Yosemite 10.10.3.
The border does not exist on any photos /images created on my MacbookPro (Lion) or any earlier computers. It appears after importing to the iMac and only then after saving in either Preview or Photoshop Elements.
I have looked in all "Preferences" but could not find how to remove the border.
Any advice will be gratefully received.

Thank you for the reply. I wanted to wait awhile in order to ensure that this corrected the issue. For a brief while, it did! However, it did not take long before the screen began once again hijacking my home button presses. This occurs even with Firefox removed from default applications ( triple-checked ).
This never happened before version 35.

I have a new iMac with Yosemite and iPhoto won't launch.

I get an error message that something is wrong with the app. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it still won't work. Any suggestions?

I spoke with Apple Support because I had done all the updates but found even after using Migration Assistant, my photo library had not moved over. If you used this tool, you might want to go into manual mode and move your library over with a click and drag from one computer to the other. Also found that my music and documents didn't move over either. Not sure what Migration Assistant did for 15 hours. I used an ethernet connection. There are faster ways if you have the right cables.

How do I load my CS4 DESIGN PREMIUM ONTO NEW IMAC THAT DOES NOT TAKE DISCS ANS THEN UPGRADE TO CS6

Please help me, I am trying to load my existing CS4 design premium onto my new imac, the imac I realised after purchase does not have a CD drive so I dont know how to load it on. Also i THEN NEED to upgrade from CS4 to CS6 and I am not sure hpw to do this.

You can install CS4 if you want to, but it is not necessary to do if you really only want to install the CS6 upgrade. You only need the serial number from CS4 in order to confirm the upgrade elligibility when installing/activating CS6.
To install CS4, you can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.
CS3 and CS4:
http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
If you have not yet purchased CS6, then purchase it as a download. If you have purchased it already in disc form, then you can download CS6 from the Adobe site or from the same site linked above (different link for it below - same need to follow instructions)
CS6:

New computer, trouble transferring CS4 Design Premium

I had CS4 Design Premium (educational) on my 2006 MacBook Pro. The computer crashed, I bought a 2013 MacBook Pro, and I'm trying to transfer the license/product onto the new computer. I don't have the original discs, but I'd backed the software up in Time Machine. CS4 uploaded onto the new computer, but gave me a licensing error when I tried to open it. I've uninstalled it on the 2013 Mac, got my serial number from MyAdobe account, and am trying to upload it again, but it's telling me my serial number isn't valid.
I've found through the forums/troubleshooting there are a few reasons why this isn't working:
-The new hardware/new Mac software isn't compatible with the CS4
-Every product in the suite has its own serial number and has to be entered individually **(I don't know where to find these individual numbers)
-Educational discs purchased through 3rd parties (college bookstore) might have different serial numbers/product codes
Anyone have any idea how I can make this freakin' thing work? I need to get my CS4 working again for school/work, and can't afford to buy another version.
Thanks!

cs4 is compatible with lion, mt lion and mavericks, but do NOT transfer the files. use the installation files to install your programs.
if you follow all 7 steps you can dl a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
and activate with your serial.
if you have a problem dl'g, you didn't follow all 7 steps. the most common error involves failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).

Upgrade CS4 design premium to CS5.5 standard, what happens with my web apps?

Hi,
I'm planning to upgrade my CS4 design premium to CS5.5 design standard, but I still like to use Dreamweaver from the CS4. Does anyone know if this is possible. I've chatted with an Adobe sales employe who said I can only upgrade to CS5.5 design premium in order to keep using dreamweaver but I read that other people are using different versions of CS simultanously on 1 computer. Any thoughts?
Thanks alot!

I respectfully disagree. The license includes a stipulation that you can continue to use the earlier version during a transition period. There is no set time limit there. I have CS3, CS4, CS5 and CS5.5 installed.

Hello, I own a license for Adobe CS5 Production Premium and Adobe CS4 Design Premium for Windows/PC. I am switching to an OSX/MAC system. Is it possible to transfer my licenses to the new platform?

It's possible to transfer licenses but it must be done by contacting a Customer Service representative by phone or web chat. They'll probably have you submit a form.

. . . was wondering: Would you happen to know if, < Adobe CS5 Design Premium > in compatible or incompatible with MS WIN8.1? I bought a new Dell XPS 9530 -- with NO CD drive. I copied my CS5 install disk to a Flash Drive, then ran the "install" on my new computer. I had the ownership S/N, so-o-o-o, CS5 installed and "seems" to respond well. PROBLEM: PhotoShop. The Menu Bar, the Commands, the Tool Bar, the Color Palettes, and etc., etc., are all real small on my display -- I would estimate they are about 1/3 of the normal size. Same problem with Illustrator. I've made all the Screen Resolution and Print-Size settings and nothing remedies the small display. (My working page is fine; it's just the display that is REAL tiny!!) Can you help me? Do you have any suggestions for me to try? Should I re-install from the internet? Am I forced to upgrade my application? I appreciate any comments you might have. Thanks. -- Dennis

I own Adobe CS4 Design Premium Suite and want to install it on 2 computers in my home. Can I with 1 serial number?

I own Adobe CS4 Design Premium Suite and want to install it on 2 computers in my home. Can I with 1 serial number?

Yes. A single user license allows for activated installations on two machines of the same platform type (Windows versus Mac). A limitation in this allowance is that only one of the machines can be using the Suite software at any given time.
