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?

created by hatstead in Photoshop Elements - View the full discussionOnce you have it working satisfactorily on the new computer, it is probably wise to deactivate the software on the old machine.

How can I reinstall photoshop cs4 yet not hav to reinstall my third party plugins?

How can I reinstall photo shop cs4 yet not have to reinstall my third party plugins/

Also, why are you reinstalling Photoshop?
If it is because you encounter a strange issue that you did not have before (a tool that misbehaves), most of the times, it does not cure it, as a reinstall does not delete the preference files, and it is those that can become corrupted.
I would reinstall (to cure an issue) only after having reset the offending tool(s), or after having re-created the preference files.

How do I move Photoshop CS4 to a new computer?

I would like to move Photoshop CS4 from an old computer to a new one. Both are MacBookPros. Do I deactivate the license and then reactivate it?

The first thing you should know is that you can't "move" Photoshop to another computer. You must reinstall from the discs using your serial number. Migrating or recovering from backup will give you a licensing error.
Since you have two activations. You can install and activate it on your new Macbook. You'll want to keep CS4 on the old Macbook as a backup unless you are selling or disposing of it. It's a good idea if the CS4 runs into problems on the new Macbook. (Hopefully not)
That's it. Any further questions, let me know

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?

How do I install Photoshop CS2 on a new Mac desktop ?

I have not used my Photoshop CS2 for a few years; I used to have it on my PC and It loaded and worked fine- But I had a lot of trouble between PC and viruses, and so now, I have chosen an Apple Mac desktop. I have had it for about a week now. The prolem however is that the programme does not seam to load , do I need to go back to using a PC ? Or is there a way that I can install CS2 on my new Mac? When I put the disc in the Drive the CS2Disk appears; when I double click on it ; the window showing the folders opens; and that is where I am stuck. ps the software is original. I am A pensioner and a Fine artist can you help me. also the photoshop logo does not appear on the desktop.

No way.
a) PC software doesn't run on Macs.
b) that being the case, you would have to switch paltforms but
c) Adobe only offers it for current versions (Order an Adobe product platform swap or language swap)
d) even if it were possible, CS2 doesn't run on any modern Mac because Apple have long removed PPC code as used by that version
This is not going anywhere for a number of reasons as you see. You will have to come up with something else like getting a current version of PS Elements, signing up for Creative Cloud or using free software like GIMP, if you realyl don't want to spend any money.

How do I transfer photoshop cs4 to a new computer?

I would like to move PS CS4 from my old computer to new. I took a backup of a download from several years ago and ran setup but when I run SETUP, the window with "Checking System Profile" never ends. Stuck there. I have deactivated PS from my previous computer.

How do I reinstall Photoshop CS6 on OS Lion (Mac)

Being subscribed to Adobe Creative Cloud I finally decided to uninstall my redundant copies of CS
Since doing this, When I launch Photoshop CS6 I get the following dialog window:
"One or more files in the Adobe Application Support folder, necessary for running Photoshop, are missing. Please run the Photoshop installer and re-install Photoshop."
Here is the problem.
I do not see any way to uninstall any of the CS6 programs other than of course teh CS6 individual program uninstallers. I would use that for Photoshop, however, because I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat X Pro (it was crashing each time a PDF was opened) using the uninstaller... I have not been able to reinstall Acrobat X - teh Adobe Ap mangaer tells me it is already installed.
I NEED photoshop to be available since I use it daily for work. If I uninstall it as I did Acrobat - there is no way to reinstall (since Adobe Ap Manger does not give an option for reinstall - only the grayed out "installed" indicator)
I have deactivated Photoshop CS6 - closed it, relaunched it and it seems to have reautheticated ... but that message to uninstall and reinstall continues at start up.
By the way - Photoshop works fine... it is just an annoying startup message. Regardless... it is an annoyance I would prefer not happen.
Anyone have any helpful answers to this uninstall reinstall dilema with Creative Cloud? Also, by the way - I do not have a working version of Acrobat anymore despite Adobe App Manager telling me it is installed - it does not allow me to download and launch a new version of Acrobat.

Thanks CollinVa ! I ended up in a chat support and found a resolution which i will post in the other Adobe forums in case others run into the same difficulty.
On the Mac, in the applications folder are CS6 apps downloaded from Creative Cloud, and inside each products folder is that products uninstaller. That is the uninstaller I used the first time to remove Acrobat X Pro.
After removal by that means, Acrobat Application Manager was still verifying that my removed app was still installed. There was no way to reinstall (Acrobat).
What I was told by the chat tech was to got to Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers Which is from where he recomended I do all my uninstalls.
So, from there I clicked on Acrobat X Pro and followed the screen instructions.
When I then launched Adobe Application Manager, teh Install button next to Acrobat was active and I was able to reinstall Acrobat.
I followed suit with Photoshop CS6, removing it from the Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers folder. Then launched AAM and the install next to Photoshop was available. I downloaded it and intalled ... everything is working fine.

I need to reinstall Photoshop CS4 on my new computer

Hi, I had a computer crash and lost my CS4(purchased online). How can I restore it?

Most of these questions can be resolved by carefully following the instructions on the page.
I followed the instructions on the page and that's what lead me to downloading Acrobat XI Pro (not VI).
You don't download Acrobat.
You go to a page to download Acrobat (step 2), click the link as if you're downloading Acrobat then immediately cancel any popups (step 3).
My question now is which one do I download. I don't want the trial version so I assume I download from the "Creative Suites" group, but I don't remember which CS4 version I had.
I suspect you're misinterpreting the column headers. They're all trial downloads.
Download the relevant trial version (depending on your serial number and operating system) and enter your serial number to license the trial version on your computer.
How do I determine which version to download.
You want the Windows version. Which product you own is something only you and Adobe can answer.
Are they all .exe files? If not what do I do once downloaded.
That info is found in the instructions:
"For Windows, each program consists of two files, an .exe and a 7-Zip file (.7z). The .exe file will only work once the .7z package is fully downloaded and resides in the same location. "
So download File 1 (.exe) and File 2 (.7z) under the Windows Product Trial column then double click the .exe file.

Reinstalling Photoshop CS4.

I have purchased a new computer running Windows 8.1. I need to reinstall Photoshop CS4 and the associated Camera Raw on the new computer. How do I do this?

Have you ever installed software on a computer? Do you have the orginal DVDs or downloaded software? Do you have a valid serial number? If yes to those ? and the "old computer" CS4 was/is on isn't being used anymore fire it up one more time and make sure you are online. Then open PS CS4 and under 'help' select 'deactivate', follow instructions about wiping the serial from that machine (your choice). Now you have cleared the serial for a clean install on the new computer.
Hope this helps...

I'm trying to reinstall Photoshop CS4

I'm trying to reinstall Photoshop CS4 after I had a computer repair. I have my key and I downloaded the 2 files on the adobe dl page for CS4, There's a _LS1 file of 1,200 KB and a larger _LS2.7z file of 796M. But when I double-click on the LS1 files, which says it's an application, I get an error message that says I need the 'other file', to download the 'other file' and make sure it's in the same directory. But I do have both LS1 and LS2.7z files in the same directory. Any suggestions? Do I need something to extract the files?
Thanks in advance!
