Fireworks CS4 Mac OS X Version 10.0.4 update

This update won't install on my MacBook 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo w/4 GB RAM -- running OS 10.6.3. After several attempts, now (using the "dmg" file) it says: "Cannot Install Please click the Quit button • Adobe Fireworks CS4 - Already Installed" but it isn't as far as I can tell.
I have CS3 on my computer as well. I have had a love/hate relationship with Firewire and Dreamweaver going back for many years. I was hoping they would get better when Adobe bought them out, but I guess not.
They are both practically unusable on my old PowerPC, but acceptable on my Intel MacBook. Not great -- just acceptable.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Fonts and Fireworks CS4 (Mac)

I discovered that certain fonts WILL cause Fireworks CS4 to not launch on a Mac.
I have a font library of approximately 5000 fonts and font sets.
I run the same library on both PC and Mac.
The PC Fireworks doesn't have a problem, but the Mac Fireworks would crash on launch and say it encountered an error. (Nothing more specific).
I started using Suitcase Fusion to manage my font library and by removing the 500 from the system fonts, Fireworks CS4 now opens and runs without any problems.
It also runs a lot faster only having to load the system fonts.
I was so impressed with Suitcase Fusion on the Mac that I got it for the PC as well and sped up all of my CS4 apps.

Funny thing is... I have a two month old MacBook Pro and except for the first day I had it, it's always had Snow Leopard. The crash was definitely font related, because I did a complete OS reload when I upgraded to a 500Gb hard drive, and that's when I started using Suitcase Fusion to manage my separate library of fonts. That's when Fireworks started working.

Fireworks CS4 Mac fails to quit. Any HELP appreciated.

I ALWAYS HAVE TO force quit FW CS4. This has been happening
ever since I
first installed it.
This is the console log:

Same here. I have never ever been able to quit FW CS4 the
regular way since the very sad day I installed it.
Furthermore, I experience crashes whenever I rearrange my
menue floaters (I already tried deleting my user prefs).
To crown this, today I closed my "document library" panel by
accident and probably will never see it again. Too bad, I really
got used to have it around...
Mac OS X, 10.5.6 // FW CS4 10.0.0.495

Fireworks CS4 / Mac OS X 10.6.4 - My UI is completely wonky

Okay, start up Fireworks.
New Document. The window for a new document is ABOVE the application menu, meaning I can't get to it at all. It creates a new document at about 29% size (or smaller) and places it in the complete, top left of my Mac's screen, meaning BEHIND the Fireworks/Apple menus. I can't get to the document at all.
Selecting the "f" key to move between interfaces (full screen, etc) produces a completely disappearing interface. In other words the ENTIRE Fireworks interface completely disappears.
Same if I go to "Workspace..." and select ANY workspace in the menu. The WHOLE ENTIRE interface disappears.
I've thrown away Fireworks Preferences about half a dozen times and tried restarting... nothing. I've rebooted the computer... nothing.
Anyone have anymore ideas? Right now Fireworks is completely useless to me, and I'm really frustrated and angry.

Thanks Jim, where can I get the clean scripts?
And honestly? I can't pinpoint the time when it started going bad, but I *think* it happened around the time I ran the Adobe Update. I try *very hard* to keep this laptop as clean as possible, and I'm super-anal about install software, only installing purchased, licensed stuff, no shareware unless it's a full stable release, no beta software, etc. So my *instinct* is to think it happened sometime around an update.
Right now it *seems* to be working okay, and I haven't run the update. DW was the most frustrating as its panels and panel sets would COMPLETELY disappear and never come back. It almost seemed like a graphics card issue, know what I mean? Like the panels wouldn't display properly. You'd make a change (say, go from "Developer" workspace to "Classic" workspace) and panels would completely disappear and never come back. You'd minimize panels and they'd phantom disappear. Sometimes switching apps (DW > Option-Finder > DW) would bring them back, but not consistently. And DW was the ONLY app that would do that. That wasn't so irritating. The Fireworks issue however was completely unusable. I'd go to create a new document and the new document window would be ABSOLUTELY at "0,0" on the Mac. I'm talking the top left of the new document window was BEHIND the Apple Menu. I couldn't grab the window bar or anything. Just utterly unusable.
I've got CS4 completely installed. Last night I removed every Adobe product I could see on the computer, pulled all preference files, went into application support and removed anything Adobe, and used spotlight to hunt for anything else containing the word "Adobe" and tried to clean it as best I could and did a custom reinstall this morning leaving out Version Cue and Drive and NOT running the update, and so far everything looks and works perfectly.
I posted another thread in the CS forums, but someone over there said that the Suite forum doesn't get much traffic and to try the DW and FW forums. Since I posted here first, I'm going to use this thread. I'll look over in the DW forums and see if anyone has the same issue, but if I run the updater (which I'm currently debating, honestly) and it reappears, I want to have my hands on that clean script. Where do I get that for Mac OS 10.6.4?

Mac OS X Version 10.4.11 update required but it will not connect to the new fibre optic broadband , help , thanks

Problem = Mac OS X MacBook with Version 10.4.11 used to connect to the Internet now it does not
Recent Broadband upgrade to fibre optic by Eircom
Rang Ericom they cannot sort it out and suggested I contact Apple for an update
Update is not possible without internet connection
What do I do ???
Thanks

You sure your mac ethernet port works.
Give them a call. Verify that they only support windows for coniguration of router. Ask them about future support. If they have heard of the ipad. Ask if they plan on supporting a web browser interface. Ask about their sanity. My $5 router supports a web browser interface.
You could get a cheap wifi router with ethernet ports and with a web browser interface. Connect you mac to you el cheap router. Connect your el cheapo router to the eircom router. Note: Apple routers have a propriety interface too and unless you have a new Mac best to avoid.
Could they switch you to a router that supports a web browser interface?
Get a friend with a windows laptop and ask to come over to get things working.
Internet support is standardized. You mac should be able to access the internet through the router.
What is not standardized is how you configure your router.
Unbelievably, eircom_799 referenced by Neville Hillyer only supports windows for configuration.

Use a retail DVD and not one which shipped with a Mac. Only 10.6 and 10.6.3 came on retail DVDs.

Downloading previous version of Fireworks CS4

I own Fireworks CS4. A while back I subscribed to Creative Cloud and it replaced my Fireworks CS4 with the latest version CS6, I believe. But now I changed my subscription to Creative Cloud LightRoom and PhotoShop only and now would like to get my Fireworks CS4 back. I was given a download page on which I clicked on the Mac/English version of Fireworks CS4 File 1 (Trial) and File 2 (Extras). Both of these resulted in an error page with this error dialog:
HTTP ERROR: 404 /support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp
RequestURI=/support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp
Can someone help me around this error and get these downloads to work?
TIA,

Can't Open Fireworks CS4 in Mac. Error Message

Hello,
I have had CS4 for 2 years almost and recently Fireworks won't open. When I click on the icon, I get this error message (below). I have updated by my Mac OS and Adobe updates with no success. I thought about uninstalling and reinstalling Fireworks, but it says I would need to deactivate my serial number from within Fireworks. Since I can't open Fireworks, I can't deactivate it - so presumably I wouldn't be able to reinstall it.
All my other Adobe products are working fine - it's just this one.
I operate Mac 10.6.7
Any suggestions? I'm not a graphic designer, so if you're able to assist, pretend you're explaining to an 8 year-old! :-)
Thank you kindly.

Thank you Linda, I thought I would post here since other users may have had a similar experience. My next step will be to reinstall the software since I'd rather not pay for their technical support if it's a simple fix - thus the posting here.

Fireworks CS4 PC version won't recognize my .ase file.

I can download my kuler swatches as an .ase file without problems. But when I go to Fireworks, I can't load the file into the Swatches palette. I tried "Add swatches" and "Replace swatches" in Fireworks, but Fireworks will only allow me to look for an .act or .gif file and doesn't see my .ase file.
Fireworks CS4 doesn't have a "Load swatches" option, nor does it have a color library function like Illustrator. I'm stuck! How do I get my .ase swatches into Fireworks CS4, PC version?

Thank you!
I'm figuring this out. Does your saved theme in the online Kuler need to be marked as Public? Can it be saved as Private and still be found when I work with Kuler in Fireworks and Illustrator?

Fireworks CS4 will not boot on the Mac

I have been using Fireworks CS4 on my Mac and it will not boot. I am running 10.6.8
I removed the Fireworks Preferences under user and it still would not boot. I returned them when it would not boot.
I restarted and ran AppleJack to clean up the caches, hard drive, permissions, etc., but no help.
All other Adobe programs run (Dreamweaver, Illustrator, Photoshop).
Suggestions?

You can install it on your MAC if you use Parellels or another Windows emulator on your MAC.

Running Fireworks CS4 Trial Version after Using CS4 beta

I tried out the Fireworks CS4 beta some months ago, but after
getting tired of all the bugs, I uninstalled it and decided to wait
for the released Trial Version. I downloaded that today and
installed it, but when I try to run it I get a message that says
"The license for this product has expired." and then it quits,
never fully loading. I'm guessing this has something to do with the
CS4 beta I had previously installed and uninstalled. Perhaps I
didn't uninstall it properly, but now I need to know how to move
forward so I can give the release version of Fireworks CS4 and
proper evaluation.
Any ideas on how I can get the CS4 Trial Version
running?

Uninstall the trial.
Then dl/run the clean up script here
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
Install trial again.

You are running an operating system that Photoshop no longer supports. Mine is mac OS X version 10.6.8. I have adobe suite CS4, and I can't get too far with that! I was trying to upgrade. Any advice?

psynikk,
I went to that link, but to get started downloading the site says...(and I don't have CS6, or else I wouldn't be stuck in this position. Thanks though.)
Read before you download a CS6 product
You need your CS6 serial number to complete the installation.
