DW CS4 Will Not Open

Dreamweaver was working the other day. Today I tried to open it and got a window asking me to accept the license terms. When I click "accept" the box disappears but nothing else happens. It seems to me that in the intervening time that Acrobat had an update, could that have something to do with it?
Thanks!

Not heard of that problem before. Have you tried the usual cure for Dreamweaver failing to open correctly: renaming or deleting your personal Configuration folder?
Depending on your operating system, it's located at one of the following locations:
Vista: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\<language>\Configuration
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\<language>\Configuration
Mac OS X: Macintosh HD:<username>:Library:Application Support:Adobe:Dreamweaver CS4:<language>:Configuration
The Dreamweaver configuration folders are hidden on Windows, so you need to enable the option to view hidden files and folders in order to locate them, as follows:
In Vista, select Start > Computer > Organize > Folder and Search Options > View. In Advanced settings, choose Show hidden files and folders.
In Windows XP, select Start > My Computer > Tools > Folder Options > View. In Advanced settings, choose Show hidden files and folders.
If that doesn't work, you need to contact Adobe Technical Support.

My logic board was replaced on my Mac and now my CS4 will not open. I re-downloaded it, gave the serial number, but it still won't open. Now what?

My logic board was replaced on my Mac and now my CS4 will not open. I re-downloaded it, gave the serial number, but it still won't open. It said that the licensing had expired. But this is not the case. Now what?

uninstall, clean (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6) and then properly install (do not migrate, use timemachine etc) using the installation files.

CS4 will not open NEF files. I installed DNG converter and it did not help.

CS4 will not open NEF files. I installed DNG converter and it did not help. Also, I tried to just "update" photoshop and it did not work. It is a new camera (Nikon 1).

Yes, you need CS6. DNG Converter is just a standalone tool to convert RAW to DNG files which then may be possible to open in older versions of Adobe tools.

Photoshop CS4 will not open after system upgrade to Mac OSX Yosemite

I recently upgraded to Mac OSX Yosemite and unfortunately, my Photoshop CS4 will not open. The message says it requires Java SE6. I now have Java 7 update 71. I would appreciate suggestions from anyone who can help to resolve this problem. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Chris Cox. I followed the link in the error message to Apple's support page, downloaded and installed the Java for Mac OSX.
I can now open my PS CS4 again. What a relief!
Many thanks for your fast response and accurate advice.
Cheers!

Illustrator CS4 will not open in XP Professional

Hello,
Although I am running Windows XP Professional AI CS4 will not open on my computer.
Photoshop and InDesign work perfectly but Illustrator seems unable to recognize the XP operating system and gives an error message accordingly.
Please see the attachment.
If anyone has any ideas about how to cure this please tell me.
Thanks for your consideration,
cobaltgreen

If I recall correctly, the issue is introduced by an incorrect install/ update of .NET runtimes (one of the newer versions, 3.5 I think). I've seen the message myself on one of my systems, but I'm not really sure how I fixed it. Reason however dictates, that manually initiating a Windows Update or downloading .NET installers from Microsoft's pages, would be one thing to try. If the solution floats to the top from the murky depths of my brain, I'll report back.

PS CS4 will not open after carbon copying drive to new SSD on MacPro

PS CS4 will not open after carbon copying drive to new SSD on MacPro. Pop-up windows inform me that the scratch disk is not available. I would appreciate any advice on how to rectify this problem.
Thanks
marco

Thanks avanishdivya.
I was hoping to avoid that route, but guess it's all I can do.
Thanks for your quick response.
Do you know if it is a Carbon Copy Cloner issue or just the way Adobe sets it up?
For future reference, where should the scratch disk reside? I heard it should not be on the boot drive?

Received jpg CS4 will not open

I received a jpg from a customer today that CS4 will not open but CS3 will. CS4 just hangs. I closed down the program and tried this several times. CS4 opens other jpgs just fine.
I am on a Mac Pro w/5 gig of RAM. Have experience no other problems.

Yes you probably lost a pixel or two when you saved it as a jpeg again. But, since they are sending you a jpeg in the first place I'm going to take a guess that it's just so you can preview it.
Also, this issue is not consistent. If it were true that every time someone received a jpeg it didn't open in CS4, the forums would be flooded.
Odds are it's just saved with something strange that is tripping CS4 up (like an ICC profile). It could be 3rd party add-ons. Could be preferences. If you start seeing it happen more from this particular person but not from others, then it's probably a setting applied to the jpeg on her end.

Photoshop CS4 will not open newer RAW format

I have CS4 with latest updates, Camera Raw 5.7 and my CR2 images will not open. I have a Canon EOS Rebel T3i.
I have searched for over 2 hours looking for a solution and according to what I have read I should have what I need to open these files.
When I go into Adobe Exchange to find a possible program, it takes me to a page that wants me to download the Adobe Exchange Panel. However
this is only available to CC or CS6, neither of them I have. I can't get past this page. So I guess Exchange no long exists for those of us with older programs.
I really hardly ever use this program, but since I need it to open my RAW photos.
I can't afford to upgrade this program at this time and I find it odd they cut off the Exchange area for everything else.
If someone could help me figure out how to get my photos to open in this program without having to buy yet another program that would be wonderful.
I do not use this enough to justify the cost of the upgrade. What is missing that I need? The compaitable chart says I have the correct version for my camera. I am at a loss.
I am sure somewhere someone has asked this before, but for the life of me I can't find one that is based on my criteria, that will help me with my problem.
Thank you for any assistance you can offer.
My System specs:
Intel Core2 Quad Q9400 2.66GHZ
4GB Memory
GeForce GTX 460 Video 1GB Dedicaed Memory
64Bit Windows 7

The Canon T3i was first supported in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 6.4
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
ACR 6.4 is only compatible with CS5 and later. It is not compatible with CS4 so CS4 cannot open Raw T3i files..
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
To open Raw files in Photoshop, your options are to update to CS6 or the Cloud.
The other option is to use the free Adobe DNG Converter to convert all Raw files from the T3i to DNGs. That adds an extra step to your workflow every time you shoot photos. Then open and edit the DNGs in CS4.

If you hardly touch Photoshop, another option may be to buy Photoshop Elements 12. Then you can open and edit Raw files from the T3i but you'll have the more limited Elements toolset. You could then export to TIFF and open the TIFFs in CS4 if necessary.

What is the format’s »File Type Association« (check under Adobe Bridge CS4 > Prefernces)?

AE CS4 Will not open after Snow Leopard Upgrade

Ok, i posted this earlier but I don't think I was clear enough to get an answer. I recently did a clean install of Snow Leopard and a fresh install of my Production Studio CS4. Upon getting it all installed, I realized that After Effects will NOT open at all. It just bounces on the Dock a few times and then stops. Then after that, when you click on it, it bounces once, then stops. Every other program works great, only after effects is not working. Why is this? Is there something I need to do? I reeinstalled just the AE and downloaded the newest update, still, the same thing. I would appreciate any suggestions to get it running.

I experienced this when upgrading to Snow Leopard myself.
After Effects is one of many, many applications which require Rosetta to be installed. In Snow Leopard, Rosetta is an optional install on the disk. So just make sure you install it.
Now, the thing also is that once Rosetta is installed, the OS still seems to have AE flagged as an app which requires a missing component to launch. This was fixed after a couple of restarts, in my case.

My CS4 will not open RAW files

I just moved my cs4 to a new 15" MacBookPro and now I can not open my raw files NEF I am using Mac Os X 10.7.4 and my camera is Nikon D90 The eroor message says Photoshop does not recognize this file type

You can check to see what version of Camera Raw will support your camera here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
You can verify which version of Camera Raw goes with the version of the Adobe application you have here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
For other questions, see here:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/311515
If you find that a version of Camera Raw later than the one you have is required and is supported by your version of Photoshop, usually you can just choose Help - Updates in Photoshop and have the latest Camera Raw release be installed, though if that fails there are downloads available from Adobe that will allow you to install Camera Raw manually.

Dreamweaver Mac CS4 will not open a certain site

I am using Dreamweaver CS4 for the Mac. I am running several sites. Dreamweaver will open up all the pages on all the sites, except one. When I open that site, the files all show up on the local files listing. But when I click on any of them, all I get is the spinning beach ball.
I just repaired permissions and this did not help.

Well this is interesting. I duplicated the folder and then tried creating another site in Dreamweaver and accessed the duplicate - no luck, same issues.
So I went into Time Machine and tried restoring the entire site. Time Machine did not allow me to restore the entire site. It seems that some subfolders indicate that I do not have permission. However, if I restore the contents within that subfolder, it will allow me to do so. Considering I have multiple subfolders, this will be tedious.
So I restored from 3 days earlier my Index which is one I could not open before. I re-opened Dreamweaver and opened the Index and it opened and displayed. However, after the Index page displayed, Dreamweaver froze and presented me once again with the dreaded spinning beach ball and is now frozen.
So it looked like I made progress, but I did not.

Photoshop CS4 will not open Nikon (NEF) raw files.

I recently tried CS6 Suite. Trial was over and I went back to Photoshop CS4. However, it would not open Nikon (NEF) raw files. I uninstalled and re-installed the PS CS4. This did not fix the problem. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Derrick
