I am getting Error 150:30 when I launch CS4 on a new Mac Mini running OSX 10.9.3

I am getting Error 150:30 when I launch CS4 on a new Mac Mini running OSX 10.9.3.
The application was restored from a backup using Apple Time Machine.
I would reinstall the applications, since I have the original disks, but alas, the Mac Mini has no external drive.
Any ideas?

CS4 is untested and unsupported under 10.9.x
That said, you should uninstall everything run the cleaner tool and then download the CS4 installer and try it again.
If that doesn’t do it, you’re on your own.

How do I move CS4 onto my new Mac?

Hi,
I have a student edition of CS4 on my Mac, I have just bought a new Mac and want to use it on there instead, how do I move it? or can I just re-use the initial install disc?
Thanks

Hi Steve,
My question dovetails onto the previous one. I am migrating to a new MacBook Pro laptop, and am wondering if I can migrate my CS4 applications, and THEN deactivate them from my old computer. I had to remove some files from the Library folder to get my CS4 apps (specifially InDesign and Illustrator) to print after I upgraded my old computer to Lion, and I'd rather not have to jump through those hoops again if I don't have to. Plus, I don't have install disks, as I downloaded CS4.
Thanks so much!

Reinstalling Camera RAW plug-in for CS4 on my new Mac - help!

Hi folks,
This is as much a Mac question as a Photoshop question, and I would appreciate any help.
I just got a new Mac, and when I transferred everything from my old computer to the new one, something didn't move over from CS4, such that whenever I opened a TIF file, it would tell me that there was a missing component, which would then force quit the program. So I reinstalled CS4, but when I re-downloaded the Camera RAW plug-in (5.7), my Mac won't let me install it, saying that it only allows downloads from the App store (referring to the .mpkg file). In the security preferences, it says "download anyway," but then it repeats the message. The option to allow all sorts of downloads remains gray, such that I can't even select it.
Any advice would be very much appreciated, either in terms of the Mac or the Photoshop! Thanks!
Claudio

This should be an automated installer for camera raw 5.7:
Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh : Camera Raw 5.7 update
The camera raw plugin 5.7 for a manual install should go in:
Mac Hard Drive: Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS4/File Formats
(click on the image below to enlarge)
Be sure to move the old camera raw plugin to the trash before copying the new one to the File Formats folder
Also, install the camera profiles.

How do I reinstall Photoshop CS4 on a new Mac?

About three years ago, I bought Photoshop CS4 for my MacbookPro. I just replaced the computer as it was on its last legs, and I'd like to reinstall my Photoshop software. I have the disk, serial number, everything, but I can't just pop the disk in because the new Macs don't have a CD / DVD drive. Go figure.
I'm trying to figure out how to do this through the Adobe website, but I'm not having any luck. Any suggestions?
Thanks!!

Okay, that makes me feel a little better. Thank you.
I followed the Very Important Instructions and downloaded everything so it's on my computer, but when I go to open "Setup" it gives me a message that says that the application is from and unknown developer and cannot be opened. I'm going to try downloading it again because maybe I missed the cookie step, so I'll see if that changes anything.
Edit: No, it's still saying it can't be opened because it's from an unidentified developer.. Any idea why that's happening?

I can't reinstall DW CS4 on my new Mac.

When I bought my new Mac (Macbook Pro, OS 10.7.4), I transferred everything from my old Mac. I had to reinstall my CS5 programs and they are ok. But Dreamweaver CS4 wouldn't reinstall from CD (complained of "missing" things). So I tried to uninstall it, and it wouldn't do that, either. So I moved everything associated with CS4 to trash, and I still can't install. I ran Support Advisor, and it found "issues" and has generated a package, but I don't know what to do with that. Please help!

Can you please be more descriptive then "things"? What did it say it was missing?
"Startup error
Required resources are missing."
Not too helpful, is it? This is from launching Setup from my CD, after the window "Checking System Profile" has run about 80% of the way. The installer then stays open until I close it from the dock.
I had previously tried the cleaner, but when I try to download it, I get the message,
"Acrobat could not open 'AdobeCreativeSuiteCleanerTool-5.dmg' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF."
Not sure why it thinks a .dmg is a .pdf.
What do I do now?

Time Machine in loop after upgrade to new mac

Hello everyone,
I just bought a new MacBook to substitute my old iMac.
With this upgrade I also went from OS X 10.5.8 (iMac) to 10.6.4 (new MacBook).
On installation I chose for the Migration Assistant to copy my data from the latest TM Backup.
Everything went fine.
Then TM asked if I wanted to continue to use my old backups on the new MacBook (or similar).
And I accepted. Then the first backup started ...
*... and now TM seems to be stuck in an infinite Loop. =(*
It goes like this:
1) Mounting Time Capsule/Sparsebundle
2) "Verifying XXX.XXX Objects ..."
3) "Preparing XXX.XXX Objects ..."
4) "Deleting old backups"
4) Cleaning up
5) Disk Image/Sparsebundle ejected
... and then it immediately restarts that same procedure.
Over and over again. Now for over 14 hours straight.
(I have already stopped the backup a few times, as I thought a restart of my Mac would fix anything.
Didn't help ... so now I just left it running for a night + half a day).
Also weird:
• The disk image is still called "Backup of iMac Eddy"
• And when viewed in the Finder/on the Time Capsule it's named "iMac Eddy.sparsebundle"
• There's no MAC address in that sparsebundle name ... (?)
• I changed my Mac's name in the System Prefs/Sharing ... with no change at all to time TM image ...
Anybody know a solution or can give me a heads up?
Thanks in advance

Yes, that will happen when Time Machine has to do a very large backup (such as, of a new Mac).
Because of the way Time Machine stores the backups, it's impossible to tell how much space will be gained by deleting a single backup without actually deleting it. So it deletes the oldest one, "compacts" the sparse bundle to recover the space, then checks again. That will continue until there's enough space, or only one backup is left (then it will fail.)
So, subtract the other sparse bundle and shared data from the TC's capacity. If the result isn't at least 2 1/2 times the size of the data on your system, you're going to have to delete the sparse bundle, so Time Machine can start over. (Since TM won't delete the last backup, it needs room for it, plus a new one, plus 20% workspace.)
If there is enough room, you can speed up the process a bit, by manually deleting a bunch of old backups, then compacting the sparse bundle, per #12 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
There is another option.
Connect a USB drive, partitioned so there's separate space for those shared files, so Time Machine can't use up all the empty space, as it will on the TC's disk). Let Time Machine start fresh backing-up the new Mac to the USB drive, and leave the existing backups on the TC's internal HD until you're sure you don't need them, then delete them. You can always browse (and restore from) them, via the +*Browse ...+* option. See #17 in the FAQ.

Have CS4 installed on new mac, but can't open any programs. Know Java6

I have CS4 installed on a new mac. It asks me to install JAVA 6. Java 6 is no longer available and in have installed Java 8, but it still asks for Java 6. I paid $1400 for CS4 4 year ago and really only use Acrobat. I don't want to buy it over again. I haven't been able to get support on this problem.

FCP2 upgrade on new Mac Pro

Do I need to migrate my old FCP 5.0 to my new Mac Pro to install FCP2 studio upgrade???
I'd rather start with a clean OS and just install the new FCP but I don't know if I can just enter the old registration number or if I have to have old software on disc to upgrade???
Thanks
g4&g5&laptop Mac OS X (10.4.9)

No.
Don't do that and it isn't necessary.
Just have your serial numbers handy, repair permissions before and after install with the Disk Utility and then run the software updater.
good luck

Upgrading to new Mac OS X v10.5.4 Leopard? Is it worth it?

Hello,
I'm wondering if would be advisable or even possible to upgrade my os to the new Mac OS X v10.5.4 Leopard. I seem to come across issues where I can add new software as they require OS 10.4 or higher. My PC configuration is as follows:
Machine Model: iMac G5
CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (3.0)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.8 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 512 MB
Bus Speed: 600 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 5.2.2f2
GeForce FX 5200
Hard disk: 80 GB
System Version: Mac OS X 10.3.9 (7W98)
Kernel Version: Darwin 7.9.0
Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards,
Kash

If you need to use software that requires it, then sure, use it. Your iMac is very capable, but there are just two caveats:
- Buy more memory, perhaps another 512MB or 1GB, all those whizzy new features and functionality will require memory to run. Memory's never been cheaper.
- You're going to lose the use of Classic, so any software you currently use that requires OS9 or Classic to run (or to install, even if there is an OSX patch later) will cease to work.
And maybe one more caveat, there's just a lot of other older software that is broken by Leopard (OSX 10.5). A search with Google will find a wealth of information of any issues with a software package and Leopard, it's been out for a year, so there will also be patches or upgrades available for most.

Any need to partition hard drives for FCS or CS4 on my new Mac Pro?

This is my first post here but have learned a lot recently just by visiting various threads. I'm new to Mac and Final Cut Studio so I have a few questions about setting up the system and hard drives. I've read about partitions on hard drives on various sites but I wonder if that is outdated advice at this point. I will be learning FCS and CS4 by working on various SD DV and HDV/AVCHD projects so I want my system flexible but as high performance as I can muster. I will be working mostly in FCP and AfterEffects for a while and do intend to burn blu-ray discs eventually.
My system is a current Mac Pro quad core with 8gb RAM with current versions of final cut and adobe suites. I will do a clean install with snow leopard. I have a 640gb main drive and I've purchased three 1tb Western Digital black internal drives. I am wondering if I need to partition my main drive because I may want to also run a windows OS eventually for blu-ray playback. The other 3 drives are intended for project files, media/capture and back-up respectively. I don't have the budget for a RAID at the moment. So my questions for this thread are:
1. Do I need to partition the main drive now or should I wait until I need to do so with boot camp/windows installation later?
2. If I should partition main drive now, how much should I dedicate for the second partition on the OS drive for eventual windows 7/blu-ray playback?
3. Should I partition any of the three additional drives?
4. If I should partition any of those additional drives, how many partitions should I make and what sizes should the partitions be for each drive?
5. Is my plan for my four drives a sound one for my purposes? (os, projects, media, backup)
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi, and welcome.
1. Don't partition your system drive until you need to. If you choose to run Windows via Bootcamp, you'll have to, in which case, 150GB will be plenty if all you want to do is playback (may even be overkill). However, you can probably do just as well running Windows under Parallels or VMWare, whch would be my recommendation. Performance is very good, and the ease of moving from OSX to Win makes them very convenient. Parallels (which I know better) automatically resizes the amount of space it needs to meet your usage. You can also run your Parallels virtual machine from somewhere other than your system disk. I imagine VMWare provides similar features. Both are well thought of.
2. Your disk use plan is OK, with one caveat - if what you're working on is critical to you, you should also have an external backup. With backup on an internal drive, there's a (very small, but definite) risk that, if the Mac Pro hit a disaster, your backup would be lost. I'd suggest an external Firewire 800 or eSATA enclosure and, either another drive, or just use one of the WDs there instead of internally.
3. Don't partition the other disks either. Just make sure they're formatted MAC OS Journaled (do this via Disk Utility). Another benefit of Parallels/VMWare is they allow Windows to read/write Mac formatted disks.
Hope that helps
