CS4 Load on new machine?

I am an old Photoshop user from way back and have been using CS4 for years and love it.  My XP machine finally bit the dust and I have bough a new Win 8 machine.  How do I load the CS4 on my new machine?  I have the original disks.

right click your setup file and use compatibility mode to install.

    Dear Friends,
    Hi, I bought a refurbished Macbook 4,1 at present it is running Lion 10.7.5( although it is an older machine circa 2008) I would like to transfer everything from my old machine( early intel Macbook Pro) to the newer machine. My older machine runs Mac OS x 10.6.8 and that allows me run some very old software. Should I make a time machine back up?and restore from that or use Carbon Copy Cloner? to transfer everything, the system, applications and data.
    Thanks for your help

    Here you go:
    Connect the two using a Firewire cable. Boot the newer machine in Target Disk Mode. Boot the older one normally. The disk for the newer machine will appear on the older machines's Desktop.
    Drive Partition and Format
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select newer machine's hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
      1. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      2. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      3. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
           it to the Destination entry field.
      4. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
          the Source entry field.
      5. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the newer machine's drive. Source means the internal startup drive.

    Hi I have just bought a new Mac Book Pro 15" Retina display with 256 SSD and 8G RAM. I had my info transferred form my Previous Mac Book Pro late 2011 to this machine. When trying to download Mavericks it says it cannot be loaded onto this machine? Strange as I have just downloaded Pages, Numbers and Keynote...free? Thanks and Regards
    Brian

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You already have got OS X Mavericks installed (the Keynote, Pages and Numbers versions available in the Mac App Store are only compatible with OS X Mavericks).
    You have got a Late 2013 MacBook Pro, which uses a special OS X Mavericks version that is not available in the Mac App Store. This is the reason why the Mac App Store is not compatible with OS X Mavericks even if you are using it. This will be fixed in OS X 10.9.1, when your Mac uses the same Mavericks version as all other Macs.
    Until then, you can reinstall OS X through OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718

  • Loading CS4 Illustrator onto New Imac

    I have recently upgraded my old Imac (5 years old) with a new Imac.
    I successfully transferred all files apps etc from the old mac to the new mac.   I uninstalled CS4 from my old mac and   tried to load CS4   to my new Imac and it will not launch???
    What have I done incorrectly??
    Thanks for any help on this matter.

    You may have already done this so forgive me if you have, but I would try deleting the contents of the /Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinters folder. I would then navigate to the /Library/Receipts and delete the Canon MP610 xxx.pkg file.
    Then control-click on the Printers list in Print & fax and click on "Reset printing system..."
    Then empty the Trash, unplug the MP610 USB and restart the iMac.
    Then I would install the MP610 v6.91 OS X driver. I found it via the Canon Australia web site (http://www.canon.com.au/products/allin_one_printers/all_in_one_printers/mp610support.aspx).
    Once the installation is complete, reconnect the MP610 to the iMac and wait. The printer should automatically appear in the Print & Fax application.
    Also, in future, you should be posting this on the Leopard printing forum...

  • I used migration assn't to load a Time Machine backup onto a new mac.  The first TM backup after that took some time, perhaps not surprising.  But the backups thereafter have all taken hours, with huge amounts of "indexing" time.  Time to reload TM?

    Does every backup require lots of indexing?  If so, the index may be damaged.
    Try Repairing the backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    If that doesn't help, see the pink box in #D2 of the same link.

  • Can I move adobe cs4 from my windows machine to my new mac mini?

    can I move adobe cs4 from my windows machine to my new mac mini?

    Short answer is now.  Any app that was developed on
    for Windows will not run on OSX and visa versa.
    However, You can create a Windows environment on
    a Mac by 2 methods.  The first, create a dual boot
    machine using Bootcamp and install Windows on a
    seperate partion and then select which operating system
    to boot into.  The second is using virtual machine products
    such as VMware  Fusion  or Parallels Desktop Mac.  You
    basically create a virtual Windows environment that
    runs along side and concurrent with OSX. 
    Not sure how well this second approach will work with
    any CS4 app, as they tend to be quite resource intensive.

  • Load old version on new machine via CC... possible?

    So if anyone is unsure why I need to do this either read my older post (Re: Walking yesterday. Crawling today.) or just look at the top 100 current forum posts concerning the latest updates at any given moment.
    In a nutshell I am building a new super machine (so that Adobe can still copy paste their canned "It's your system" response to all of my future problem posts) and I have a large project (short film, hundreds of clips, tons of audio, lots of masks and CC) currently on an old machine using PPro 2014.0 single barrel. I would like to know if it is possible for me to transfer over the entire project/media files to the new machine and load it right into 2014.0 single barrel on the new machine so I can just get this project completed and delivered without nary a hiccup before daring to smoke test the... >GULP!<... latest PPro version on a far less involved/lucrative project.
    I feel like when the new machine is ready and I go to download PPro its going to force the latest version on me... is there a way to select a legacy version? Would loading the latest version and then rolling back (like I have done in my current situation) work if the new machine has never had the older version?
    Full disclosure I've never transferred projects to new software versions, let alone new machines, in my life... so any insight that spells things out as if I'm in 8th grade would be greatly appreciated.
    Excelsior!

    Well I really (read as REALLY) want to just finish this project so the plan was to go into a test mindset after it was in the can. So get over to the new computer, finish a few tweaks and render it off the new box. Then I am fully prepared to go into test mode.
    But in theory, sans the time it would take to try/fail/rollback, I suppose you are right. So maybe, but you have prolly gathered which way I am leaning -- Thanks shooternz
    >> "and thousands of editors are cutting away without issues."
    I'd question those numbers, or the ability to even project them, but regardless I am simply one of the lowly hundreds. I am far more confident and vindicated about my experience/feelings concerning this release than I was when I originally shared my story.

  • New machine install, terribly slow response

    I'm hoping someone can shed some light here, I've recently built a new NLE for CS5.5 and the thing's incredibly slow to load, encode or even respond to an export command.
    A few specs on the new machine:
    Dual Xeon 3.47GHz 6 core CPU's, 12 cores total, 24 logical cores total
    Supermicro X8DTL motherboard, intel 5500 chipset
    24GB registered RAM in triple channel mode
    Win7 Pro 64 bit with all updates
    Matrox MXO2 LE capture/playback
    Nvidia GTX 580 4GB video card
    Intel LSI MegaRaid SATA raid controller
    7TB RAID 5 array on the RAID card
    Installed software consists of PPro CS 5.5 suite, Avira anti virus and Firefox web browser.  Beyond that it's a clean install
    Now for my problems.
    Premiere generally takes about 2 minutes to load from the desktop and is slow to respond after that.  I've loaded a 40 second HD timeline consisting of 2 XDCAM HD video clips and one stereo music track.  When I export this simple timeline it takes 3 minutes for the encode options to pop up, then once I select BluRay HD for the preset and queue it takes another 3 minutes before Media Encoder launches.  At the time I'm writing this Media Encoder has been encoding for 30 minutes and it's only about 50% done with that 40 second timeline.  For comparison my old dual core laptop with it's single internal drive takes about 30 seconds to launch Premiere (CS4 in it's case) and it encodes the same timeline in about 4 minutes.
    Something's very wrong here; I'm hoping it's something simple like a wrong setting.  The computer itself seems to work fine and the Windows index benchmarks at 7.8 outside of a slower C drive coming in at 6.  All the project material is on the RAID and the programs and OS are on the C drive.  Anyone have any thoughts?  I'm going to have to get started on a major project shortly and I can't imagine doing it on this machine as it is.

    Disconnecting from my LAN would be problematic in that several machines have files shared with the editor and vice versa... Lightwave for example is on a separate machine and most of my Photoshop stuff is on a third.  All machines are clean and checked daily for infection... at about 3AM so it doesn't try while I'm working.  If I suspect something I'll run Malwarebytes (in manual mode).  So far in the last 10 years I've only had one virus get through on my personal machine and nothing has hit any of the business ones.
    I do have a hardware firewall on the LAN and I don't let Avira AV scan files while I'm editing.  I've used Avira free on my last 2 systems without any issues (one Avid Liquid and the other Premiere CS2).  I certainly wouldn't trust Norton or McAffee to walk the dog, let alone protect a machine... too much bloatware.
    Jeff, I'm not totally sure what issues I still have; I'll find out this week as I get started on a project though.  (Fortunately no clients present so I've time to work out any lingering bugs... if I had to do it in front of clients I'd probably use the old machine.)  I did notice that disabling the SurCode solved the load issue anyway... my project with roughly 200 hours of XDCAM footage in several Bins loads in ~45 seconds or so.  Of course there's nothing yet on the timeline; that will probably slow things down some.  Oh, I'm not using any of the "max bit depth" settings and wasn't at the time I rendered out those bluray disks.  Maybe it's my imagination on the slowdown (once things actually opened) but it did take more than real time to encode a 45 minute bluray disk.  This was before I disabled the SurCode; hopefully that solved the issue.  Bottom line is that the system seems to function now, I'll know if anything else is out of whack as I actually start using the machine.
    On RAID I simply do not trust RAID 0 for anything; I've lost days of work before due to a failure on a RAID 0 setup so I always use RAID 5 for safety.  I assumed that the Intel card would work as I've used an earlier model in my old Avid Liquid system with no problem and it was faster than an E-Sata external.  With 5 - 2TB drives for storage the odds of a RAID 0 failure don't seem appealing.

  • How do I move booksmark to another machine without replacing the bookmarks on the new machine, i.e combine a number of bookmark files

    I'm setting up a laptop and want to have all the bookmarks from my desk machine to be moved there from different accounts, but in end up in one file so that I don't have to have loads of separate accounts.

    You need to combine all the links to one HTML file.
    You only need a file with Anchor links like this:

    If you export bookmarks to an HTML file then you create a copy of your bookmarks and you edit that copy and you do not affect the original bookmarks.

  • New Machine: Application no longer exports Crystal Reports

    I have a web application that was written in C#. We build and debug the application locally on Windows XP machines. Recently we got new machines, which were loaded with XP, but now with service pack 3 instead of service pack 2.
    On the new machine, I installed the web application from VSS and it is working quite well.
    The only problem is, Crystal Reports will not export on this new machine. What am I missing?
    The error I get when I try to export the reports is:
    Error in File C:\directory\reportname.rpt: Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters.
    Keep in mind that the application runs fine on the old machine, reports and all. I have searched and searched for a solution to this problem to no avail.
    The error is thrown on this line:
    rClass.FormatEngine.ExportToStream(req);
    I went so far as to give 'Everyone' full control over the entire file system on the machine to see if there was a permissions issue, but that didn't work at all.
    Funny thing is, when I add:
    oRpt.SetDatabaseLogon("username", "password");
    the report exports without a hitch. We don't have that line of code in the application on our other machines and the reports export just fine.
    PLEASE HELP! Many thanks.

    Crystal Reports has a 3 concurrent processing licenses. Basically it can process 3 users reports simultaneously the other users will be queued until one of the concurrent licenses are released or time-out hit. Now this is different then the job limit there is also a maximum number of print jobs; a print job is not equal to a Processing license. A report with a single subreport in the report header will take two print jobs to run. More subreports or subreports in a repeating section will require more jobs to run the report.
    Depending on the complexity of the reports you can get anywhere from 3 (for really complex long running reports) to upwards of 20 (for really light reports) users running reports through a web application. If you are going to be server much more then 20 users I would suggest moving to a Report Application Server (RAS) based application.
    Technically a web application that does not close and dispose the report object that runs a report with no database connectivity and only a single text box that reads "hello world" could serve your max print job limit, but would only run 3 users at a time. However this is pretty rarely the case.
    So upping your max print jobs from 75 to 1000 may not do anything but create more load on the system (more jobs kept alive) draining resources and slowing the processing jobs down.

  • Before I reinstall CS4 on my new Mac Mini what do I need to know?

    I migrated all my data from my old Mac Mini to my new MM.
    Photoshop on my new MM still thinks it's on my old MM.
    i.e. The RAM available still reflects the RAM available on my old machine.
    i.e. I had 4 GB on my old machine.
    I now have 16GB of RAM available but the settings from the old machine
    were migrated over to the new machine so the new machine thinks I only have 4gigs ram.
    Would the best way to fix this problem be to uninstall my old software and reinstall it
    on my new machine?
    What precautions should I take?
    Is it pretty straight forward?
    Thanks

    Yes, always do a clean install. You have up to 2 computers to activate it on so don't deactivate the old one until you are sure the new is fine. Photoshop is not a "drag to the app folder" install. It decides what your system has and places the correct files all over it. Also use the Uninstall utility in the Photoshop folder, never drag it to the trash.
    The reason that PS CS4 reports 4 GB is because CS4 is 32 bit only on any system. 32 bit can only address  a max of 4 GB ram.
    64-bit OS benefits, limitations
    So while a reinstall is a good thing, it won't see all of that ram.
    No way to get by that except to install CS5 or later.
