CS4 Problem on Mac - Need Help

I was working on a few Illustrator files when the electricity in our building went out. My iMac computer restarted automatically, but all the apps that were open closed. I went to reopen the Illustrator files that I was working on before the power outage and Illustrator will not open any Illustrator file. The app quits before opening any given file - this is also happening with my CS4 version of Photoshop. I have not checked the other apps that are included in CS4, but I am sure that they will react the same. I opened these same files on a different computer with CS4 Illustrator version and they opened with no problems. I also ran a diagnostic test (TechTool Deluxe and Disk Warrior) on my computer and all seems to be functioning properly. It looks like the problems with CS4 are isolated to my computer. I believe that all other (non CS4) apps are working fine.
I ended up uninstalling all the Adobe CS4 apps, then I reinstalled them. I tried to open both Illustrator and Photoshop files and both apps still quit before opening any file. Both Acrobat and Media Encoder seem to be working fine. These apps open and also seem to be working correctly... CS4: InDesign, Media Player, Flash, Fireworks, Dreamweaver, Device Central, Bridge.
I don't know what else to do, and Illustrator is something I must be able to use every day.
In case this helps, here's the error message I get when I try to open an Illustrator file:

Using 2006 iMac running Mac OS 10.6.8.
My iTunes App (11.3.1) will not launch.
Upgraded to iTunes (11.4) but problem persists.
Need help.

I have no answers for ya, but I do have the same problem, so we are not alone in this.
My iTunes stopped working after I did a couple of software updates that got my iTunes up to v. 11.4. Since that update, I can't get iTunes to open at all, neither from my dock nor from the Applications menu.
I'm wondering: Perhaps these latest iTunes updates are simply too advanced for my 10.6.8 operating system? If that's the case, how can I backtrack to an earlier version of iTunes that is compatible with my computer OS?
Any thoughts?

Hi saiyed adil,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It appears that your iPhone 5s sometimes produces low sound, but a restart corrects it.
It can take some time to isolate and resolve intermittent issues like this one, and I'd recommend going through the steps in this guide the next time it occurs:
If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support

New iPad 3 will not charge from a mac. need help on that

my new ipad 3 will not charge from a mac. need help why if any one knows? thk

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html
Also, if you have a 3rd generation iPad, look at Apple: iPad Battery Nothing to Get Charged Up About

Problem burning DVDs, NEED HELP QUICK

Hey,
I need help as soon as possible. I am using iMovieHD 5.0.2, along with iDVD 5.0.1. I have made a movie about 8 minutes long and all in all it totals 7.68Gigs, and i've tried burning it to a dvd. I did all the steps it says to, going to Share, sharing it with iDVD, then trying to burn it in iDVD. Yet whenever it asks me to insert a recordable dvd, i do, and the computer fails to recognize it. I am using a DVD-R, 4.7GB discs, 4x. I then realized that the movie i was trying to burn was larger than this disc, which might be the problem. I then created a 200mb movie and tried, but the same problem happened. My G5 is not recognizing the blank dvds, yet when i insert a dvd that was made a while ago from a different source, yet the same type of dvd, it plays fine.
The problem seems to be in recognizing the blank DVD, and im pretty sure that its compatible with this computer, being that it plays when theres already a movie on it.
Can someone please help me quickly, this is for a production company and we're losing out every day that i dont get this done. Thanks a million.

I don't have an answer, but as an initial diagnostic step, try loading a blank DVD while iDVD is not running. First open your System Preferences and select the CD/DVD icon. Make sure the options selected do not say "Ignore". Then load a blank disc. Depending on your preferences, you should get some sort of reaction - either a burn window opens or you get a prompt asking you what to do. If there's no reaction from the Finder, it would indicate that the drive is not recognizing the blank DVD. This would be either a hardware or a media compatibility problem. Only way to tell for sure is to run out and try a different brand of media.

I have a REAL problem that I need help with

many thanks to kglad for all his help last week with a problem but it hasn't fully sorted it out. I have a site with 908 buttons. Basically a person clicks a button, makes a donation (through paypal) and then that button gets their name displayed when the mouse hovers over it. Essentially the button becomes the property of the person who makes the donation. The problem I need help with is how to disable each button when someone clicks it. Disabling a button isn't the problem. I need it disabled only when the person has made a valid donation. Each button has a unique instance name (b001 - b908). There must be a way.
Many thanks in advance.

I can't get this to work at all. At this stage, I'm considering a complete restructure of the site in dreamweaver.
I would love to be able to complete it in actionscript though as I would be learning something new.
When a user clicks a button, and goes through the paypal process, I need the clicked button to be disabled.
It has to be such that it gets disabled only when a user has made a donation through paypal. For example, plenty
of people may just click on the buttons as they are checking the site out, without any intention of using the paypal
facility. This is just human nature. Obviously, I don' t want any buttons disabled under these circumstances.
I was thinking, do I need a statement such as .......... "on returning from paypal, disable the clicked button"
Or is it just a case of......... "on returning from paypal, remove the event handler"
Or is it something completely different, I require, (please don't say a brain would be helpful).
Is there some generic code out there that could help me out please.

IPhoto crashing mac need help!!!

I recently got a 2010 macbok pro 15" with i7 dual core processor i have been using iphoto since i got it but now iphoto is crashing my computer allowing me to do nothing but restart it with the power button. I need help please i have reinstalled the software nothing works any help would be greatly appreciated.

Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and try to create a new, test library. If you can then we know the problem is with your current library.
If that's the case make a temporary, duplicate copy of your library the apply the three fixes in order as necessary.
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file,, Cache.dbt, that is located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
If that doesn't help try the following: make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #3
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Toshiba HDD/SDD ALERT! - anyone having the same problem? I need help =/

Okay, so I barely got this new laptop on Christmas and for several weeks now I've been having problems. My internet browser keeps saying (Not Responding) everytime I use it, which I think is due to this problem.
I keep getting a pop up that says this :
Disk0
Your HDD has the SMART Predict Failure function which monitors the HDD operating status. Your HDD is experiencing a problem and SMART monitoring software predicts that the HDD will fail. Toshiba strongly recommends you create a back-up for your HDD data. Then contact an authorized service provider in order to check your drive and purchase a new replacement drive if necessary.
I've backed-up my stuff already, but it still continues to say that. Anyone have any idea what why? and what I can do to fix it myself? it has been bothering me because it is the first thing that pops-up when I turn on my laptop. Thanks for reading and thanks for any help that I can get! Hope others that are having the same problem can get some help from my post as well!

CRASHING PROBLEM! Seriously need help, CS4 driving me crazy!!

Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
Sounds like a common problem enough eh? Yeah? Well no, and this started happening when I began to practice Vector art with masks and the good ol' pen tool three days ago. It happens RANDOMLY, may happen 5 minutes in, may happen 15 minutes in-- whatever the case it happens at least 10 times a day and it is incredibly frustrating. A lot can happen in a minute when you haven't saved. By the way my document is only 1680x1050 resolution, 75dpi, and is only 7mb big.
I have had Adobe Photoshop CS4 since November, it was okay--my photoshop 7 would not install on vista so oh well! Photoshop CS4 is pretty nice, after disabling vertical sync to prevent brush lag.. anyways fellas, to the point.
My Computer specs:
Intel Core2 Quad q6600 @ 2.4ghz/core, 4mb cache
4.0gb (Actually 3.3gb being read, damn 32bit)Ram 1100hz, I forget latency?
Nvidia Geforce 9800 GTX superclocked 780mhz
Seagate Harddrive SATA 7200rpm
Wacom Bamboo Tablet 6x4
SO! My computer is not the best but it is certainly rather powerful! So what's going on? I have Norton protecting me, no viruses or spyware, and I have not installed anything recently that would affect it besides Left 4 Dead but that was 3 weeks ago (awesome game btw, superMEIKO is my steam ID if you want)
Here's what I tried:
-Set page file to minimum 4gb to maximum 14gb.
-Uninstalled (completely, no registry files leftover or w/e) all drivers and photoshop and everything-- then reinstalled with everything up to date
-Updated drivers for wacom tablet
-Tried the user administration thing, where you change user accounts, didn't work
-Disabling everything non-microsoft in my startup and services, nothing
-Overclocking my graphics card--just in case, nothing
SO! My experts, please help a fellow photoshopper out! I am suffering here!
Thanks for reading,
MEIKO

The most common cause of semi-random crashes we've seen is bad fonts (especially in 64 bit, where one of our attempts to work around bad fonts has a bug on 64 bit only).
What OS are you running? And are you using the 32 or 64 bit app?
We have also seen some drivers cause repeatable crashes, and the driver will be named in the crash report as the current module when the crash occurs.

PSE 12: Mac need help opening RAW files

I downloaded the trial version of PSE 12 on a Mac OS X v 10.8.5 and I am unable to open the CR2 RAW files taken by a Canon EOS Rebel XS and loaded directly to the Mac.
The exact error message is, "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information."
The Camera Raw plug in version on this PSE 12 is 8.2.0.94
In an effort to open these CR2 files, I downloaded the DNG Converter 8_2. This provided a similar error, "The source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files."
I believe that my camera is supported by PSE12 :
I plugged an external hard drive into the Mac which contains CR2 files from the exact same camera. The files were unloaded using a Windows PC and then saved on the hard drive. They open on the Mac using PSE12. No problem.
So, I am guessing that the problem is that I am a new Mac user. I have no idea where I should look on the Mac to figure out why the CR2 files directly loaded to the Mac won't open in PSE12 but files loaded to a WIndows computer and then opened on the Mac will open in PSE12.
Any suggestions?

Barbara B--thank you so much for trying to help me.
I finally have success! I discovered that I must use the Canon EOS Utility to download the files to the Mac. Not iphoto and not the Image Capture.
For anyone else who might need a link to the Canon Rebel XS EOS Utility, I found it here:

Installation of Older FCP on New Mac - Need Help

Hi. Help.
I just got a new Mac. I have an older version of FCP - it is 4.5 aka HD.
My problem is that my 4.5 is an upgrade. I first got FCP when it was 1.2.5. Then I upgraded to 3, then 4.5.
To install 4.5 on my new Mac (with Leopard 10.5), I have to install the previous versions first, then the upgrades.
Guess what? I can't install the original 1.2.5, since there is no trace of Classic.
I am not going to go out and buy a full brand new version of FCP, when I am eligible for upgrades.
Is there a way that I can get Classic on my new Mac, even though I have 10.5?
Thanks,
Mike

Mike,
By new Mac do you mean an new Intel machine or a used PowerPC machine?
If you really mean a new Mac then you need to upgrade your version of FCP. FCP 4.5 is PowerPC based and is not supported on Intel machines. You need a Universal Binary version. The first UB version was 5.1 and it was available during the Intel switch as a Crossgrade, it is no longer available. You can purchase an upgrade for FCP though as long as you have the original serial numbers you do not need to install the old version first.

CS4 not opening. Need help!

I have CS4. My computer crashed and I have a new hard drive, with Maverick 10.9.4. Photoshop won't open. Do I need to de-install CS-4 and re-install the suite? Or is it because I need to get some kind of permission to use it on another computer, even though I paid for it? CS4 was originally installed on my other laptop. The message originally said that "licensing has stopped working." Now there is no message at all.

Launch Adobe Acrobat 9 or an Adobe Creative Suite 4 product.
Solution 7: (Acrobat 9 only) Reinstall on a file system that isn't case-sensitive
Adobe applications are not supported on an OS formatted with a case-sensitive file system. If you attempt to install an Adobe application on a case-sensitive volume, you get an error that the file system is not supported. (Case-sensitive volumes include UFS, HFS+ case sensitive [HFSX] or SMB formatted drive.) Acrobat 9 doesn't display such error messages and allows you to install the application. However, attempting to launch Acrobat 9 results in the error, "Licensing for this product has stopped working (error code 130:9)." Reformat the drive to a file system that isn't case-sensitive.
To check if Mac OS X is formatted with a case-sensitive file system, do the following:
Click the Apple menu and choose About This Mac.
Click More Info.
Under Hardware, select Serial-ATA.
Select the drive that Acrobat 9 is installed on and check the file system in the list. Note if the file system is case sensitive.
Alternatively, use the Disk Utility to check the file system:
Choose Applications > Utilities, and double-click Disk Utility.
Select the disk Acrobat where is installed and check its format.
