Fireworks CS4 Won't Launch in Mac OS 10.6.7

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.
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.
~Ben~

InDesign CS5 won't launch on Mac OS 10.8.3

Hi Peter:
I was using InDesign CS5 on my Mac Book Pro 17 and then purchased a new MacPro. I Transferred everything to my new laptop and every thing works except for InDesign and my Microsoft applications such as word, and Excell.
InDesign starts to launch and says "InDesign Quit Unexpectedly"
The first part of the code that comes up says as follows:

Fireworks CS4 won't quit... Ever

CS4 won't launch - what a joke!

Great - Apple send out OSX 10.6.3 & then the CS4 suite edition won't launch!
Adobe promote the product with statements like:
Are Creative Suite 4 products and components compatible with Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6)?
Yes. Working closely with Apple, Adobe has tested the Creative Suite 4 products and components and determined they are compatible with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, the latest version of Apple's operating system.
Spending close to 120 minutes on the phone to an offshore service centre (Adobe' support) & you get disconnected from their end & an email:
We had a interaction regarding your issue that you could not lauch Design Premium CS4. Unfortunatly (sic) the call got disconnected. Here are the solutions for your issue Solution 1: Revert to Mac OS 10.6.2 or earlier
So, Adobe are telling me that the Design Premium CS4 editition of their software is not compatible with OSX10.6.3
That is just not good enough & I will be asking for a refund!
Craig

What kind of a nut would completely fail to realise that it was Craig Keeler-Milne, and not myself, who has the problem with CS4 not launching?
What kind of a nut would completely fail to realise that all Craig Keeler-Milne really wanted to do was vent a little in a forum where there's at least a remote possibility someone from Adobe may read it - and NOT to suffer the sanctimonious condescension of pious meddlers such as yourself?
What kind of a nut would completely fail to realise that BOTH Apple and Adobe are responsible for compatibility, but that more and more these days, Adobe couldn't care less when it comes to Macs - so Craig Keeler-Milne has every right to be fed up?
What kind of a nut would completely fail to realise that all your drivel provided was smug self-gratification, and THAT'S what I objected to? Clearly I was simply defending Craig Keeler-Milne's right to have his say.
Were my posts not clear enough? Did they confuse you? Perhaps you could benefit from some remedial reading and comprehension lessons? Perhaps I could post a few links for you, then snidely explain their obvious purpose? Not that I'm being sanctimoniously condescending or anything - no, of course not. Perhaps if you tried really hard to "raise your level of intelligence" then maybe, just maybe, you'd get it.
Pathetic.

Program won't launch on Mac for one user but will for another

We just installed a new program (that is Java based) that we are about to start using in our office. It is the WorkFlows client from SirsiDynix. It works fine on my MAC but 2 other users in our office have MACs and it won't launch. We have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck. We created another user on one of the computers and installed the program and it launches fine. Both users are Administrators. We have uninstalled and reinstalled the program but still no luck. We have ran the Repair Permissions utility on the HD. Is there a tool or software that we can use to compare permissions or settings of the 2 users to find out why the program won't run under one of them?
We have Mac Mini OS X version 10.9.5
Thanks for any help you can give.

I updated my mac yesterday to Maverick and now Adobe Photoshop CS5 won't launch. Can you tell me what files I need to delete to get it to launch. I tried reinstalling it, and that didn't help.
thanks

It's very strange. When I try to double click on the program to open it,
it's like I'm doing nothing. it sort of blinks like it's going to open but
does nothing. That's the way it is if I control click and try to open too.
I did try to reboot. Is there something I could delete in the Library
file or something?
thanks

Cc app won't launch on Mac

I restarted my mac a few times and CC won't launch - tried launching it from apps folder and it opens but nothing happens... It appears as two instances in the activity monitor but nothing actually appears to be running.
Very frustrating as I have an urgent job and can't download the software I need!!

I also tried reinstalling and the installer just freezes at 0

i simply get the mac "the application unexpectedly quit" box with no error code.

Fireworks CS4 - Unable to Launch

I am trying to virtualize Fireworks CS4 but keep running into the following error after running the compiled exe.
The application was unable to load a required component: LogSession.dll. Please contact the publisher of this application for more information.
Dreamweaver CS4 runs fine though. I have seen a couple of other threads relating to VMware Tools possibly causing an issue. I have tried the following without any success..
1. Build machine with VMware Tools.
2. Build machine without VMware Tools
3. Stopping FlexNet service before capture
4. Copying LogSession.dll into the 'System32' folder
All snapshots\packages are been carried out on the local disk and not on a network share.
I can't open a SR request with Novell, as we don't have a support contract with them.

Some people have had success with issues such as these by adding entries to the "Child Process Exception List", but I haven't done that much myself and will need to poke around a bit to get you some more information.
Is Fireworks CS4 something I can get on my own to work with?
Will give that a go.
In terms of obtaining Fireworks CS4, it is part of the Adobe CS4 Web Premium pack. You could probably get a trial version of it, but finding it on the Adobe site is unlikely as they are on CS6 now.

Photoshop CS4 won't launch

I'm getting this error message "Could not open scratch file because the disk is not available."
The disk is mounted and on the desktop. All I did was go into photoshop CS4 and add another scratch area which is one of the Hard drives mounted on the desk top. I'm running the latest Leopard 10.5.7 my Mac is Dual-Core Intel with 9GB ram, The Hard drive I have Photoshop on is a new 1TB Seagate and a similar one using for the other scratch disk. I had just installed this new HD formatted it OK and Carbon copy cloned every thing from my back Up. I was running Photoshop for a while then I realized I wanted to add another scratch disk area (or disk). I quit Photoshop after I made the change and tryed to open it when I got the error.

Oy!
Why the heck did you do that, James?
I said highlight the icon of the bloody HARD DRIVE you want to designate as a scratch drive; not the darned Photoshop application icon!
CHECK the "Ignore ownership on this volume" box.

So what??? If you want to do editing on another drive you can still launch the one and only copy that will work on your bloody machine, namely the one installed and activated on your startup drive.
Any other copies of Photoshop you have installed on different drives attached to your computer WILL NOT BE ACTIVATED, they won't even launch, they won't work at all! However, they will confuse the hell out of the working copy of Photoshop.
When you edit video you can just boot off the same startup drive. Who led you on that totally screwed path? Had you ever used a Mac before? You have to learn Mac 101.

I am on a Mac G5 Dual 2.5 GHz Power PC running OSX 10.5.7
Please help! I'm on a really tight deadline.
Thanks!

ImporterQT.bundle may be missing or corrupt
uninstall Media Encoder using the package in \Applications\Utilities\Adobe Installers

Adobe Creative Suite 5 Web Premium won't launch on Mac

I use 13 inch MacBook Air. I downloaded Adobe Creative Suite 5 Web Premium from my college. It has Flash, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Illustrator CS5. But only Flsh and Dreamweaver launch when I click them. When I click Photoshop and Illustrator, nothing happends.
I tried uninstalling them and reinstalled but still not launching. I updated mac to mavericks and installed the java update but still nothing happens when I click them. Also Acrobat Pro I downloaded from my college doesn't launch either.
Let me know if you need any more information about my device.
Thank you for your help.

illustrator cs5 has been reported as incompatible, ps cs5 compatible and i can't tell which acrobat pro version you're trying to use.
in any case, here's a user-based mac compatibility table:

IMac won't launch in mac, stuck in Windows, iMac won't launch in mac, stuck in Windows

I installed BootCamp last year and have been running OSX and W7 happily for all that time.
Just recently, I've had some problems when booting up my computer, it sometimes won't bring up the statup menu and just launches itself straight into Windows.
Now this has got worse. It won't open Mac at all and always launches straight into Windows. I've tried holding ths shift key rather than option key to start some disk repair but nada... I've also checked all USB sockets and a new keyboard to see if that was the problem but again, nothing. It's definitely not the keyboard or USB ports.
Also, just around the time this started happening ti started kicking itself out of sleep mode. If I put it into sleep mode a few seconds later it will start up again. Basically I can never turn it off, or sleep it. And now I can't even turn it on.
And it went out of warranty two weeks ago

Thanks.
I don't have the disc on me (moving 3 times in 6 months means my stuff is scattered all over the place) but I guess putting that in and running the diagnostic checks on it might revive it?
Gutted because it went out of warranty so little time ago. I guess if the hard drive is dead then it's just a big lump of metal. Even worse that I'm a computing student, and a degree in computing without a computer is going to be tough!
