I've upgraded my Mac OS to Yosemite and now Illustrator CS4 will not open.

I'm guessing I am too far behind to upgrade to the latest version of Illustrator and I also am not really clear on using Illustrator in the cloud but I need to work on my existing CS4 files so not sure what to do. Any help would be appreciated!

j,
You may prevent/deal with the error message as long as Illy is open in the following way:
1) Start up Photoshop first, then Illy;
2) When the error occurs, click Don't show again, and click OK;
You may close down Photoshop after that.
If you get the error message without having Photoshop open, close down Illy and start with 1).
By the way, I believe the right order/way is to update the OS, then reinstall the applications. Was that how you did it?
Also you may need to update drivers (Wacom and others).
If you run into the Java issue, you should be able to get round the issue altogether without the legacy version (and its security implications), by following this:

It is even more thoroughly described in this thread, see post #3 on by gator soup:

I hope this covers all eventualitites.

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.
Downloadable installation files available:

I upgraded to MFF 4.0.1 and now the browser will not ope, Taskmanager says that it is running.

I upgraded and to newest version and computer froze on checking add-ons and plug-ins. I restarted compter and could not open Mozilla Firefox. So. I removed MFF and went to you website and downloaded latest version. It put an icon on desktop and put MFF under my programs. When I double click on it or click and 'open' nothing happens. Task manager says that the process is running.

If you are working in a a corporate situation - Is anyone around you using Fx4 successfully? If Firefox is permitted you should ask your administrator to make sure Fx4 is cleared by your firewall.
With many "domestic" firewalls you need to give new permission for new versions.
You'll notice in Alice Wyman's article that you can try a version of Safe Mode(I'm not sure whether it disables Hardware Acceleration) if you can get to the first page(after closing down any firefox running via Task Manager) you can try >Firefox orange button >Help >Restart with Add-ons disabled. Then you try her other suggestions.
After that you would probably need to do an uninstall/re-install and try a new clean profile.

I upgraded my Mac Pro to Yosemite and now CS5 does not work.

Help.....Adobe Photoshop CS5 does not load now that I upgraded my MacPro to yosemite....anybody have this problem and how was it fixed?

Yes. The Yosemite upgrade is notorious for damaging CS5 installs. Please reinstall and let us know how it goes.
Also make sure Yosemite is upgraded to 10.10.1
The reinstall will set your instal to 12.0.0 If Help > Updates does not work, go here Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh
download and apply the updates for Photoshop and Adobe Camera Raw.

I up dated my mac to 10.10.1 now Photo shop will not open - help

I up dated my mac to 10.10.1 ,how do I get Photo shop CS6 to open?

You may have to reinstall. CS6 has been tested for Yosemite, but I suppose it would break some installs.
Using an Administrator account:
So uninstall (uninstaller is in the CS6 folder). Remove Preferences if asked.
Use the Cleaner Tool Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Reinstall.
Don't forget to apply the updates when you do.

I upgraded to itunes 10.5 and now the store will not open.

The bar goes about halfway (between the "g" and "I" in accessing Itunes store) and stops. I can see words and hyperlinks in the store, but no pictures. Have tried several of the fixes listed here, but so far none have been effective. Anyone know what fix is best. I am at my wits end and do not have the patience to go through every fix.
Thanks.

Had the same thing happen to me when I tried syncing my iPhone this a.m. - talked to Apple 7 hours ago and evidently there's an "issue" with the iTunes server. The Apple adviser told me to try syncing in an hour. Well, rather than do that, I've continued to check Twitter, searching on "itunes sync" or "itunes server" - seems the problem's still going on.
I'm going to wait it out til tomorrow. Or whenever.
The REASON I was synching is that ever since the iOS 5 "upgrade" photos that were in albums synced from iPhoto had disappeared. Not all the photos, just all the photos in some albums. Weird.
Too many bugs in iOS 5 (syncing, Bluetooth connectivity, etc.). They should have waited til it was right before releasing it.

I upgraded to iOS 7.0.4 and now my phone will not pair with my car's bluetooth.

I reset my iPhone settings - didn't work. Called both subaru and apple support who just point fingers at each other. Any tips on a fix would be great!

I had the battery problem. I upgraded the to iOS 5.0.1 last night and at least that problem seems to have been fixed. However, the problem with no audio on phone calls remains. Have not tried swapping the SIM card yet. The ATT guy says that they have resolved 90% of the no audio issues with a new SIM card. Not sure athat what has to do with anything but will try that first before requesting a replacement phone.

I just upgraded my iPad to 4.3.3 and now my apps will not open

The apps blink and will not open. any thoughts?? Come withs - iphoto, calendar etc. work fine. thanks for your help

This problem has been reported here a couple of times. The solution appears to be to download any new App, say a free one. This appears to resolve this problem.

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!

Upgraded to Mac OS 10.6 and now printers don't work ?

Upgraded to Mac OS 10.6 and now my canon printer and doesn't work .
I installed the print drivers from both Apple and Canon, received this message that says this extension is installed incorrectly:
system/Library/Extensions/CNQL4801_ClassicNotSeize.kext
Have checked the boards and net , but with no solution... help !

this extension is installed incorrectly:
system/Library/Extensions/CNQL4801_ClassicNotSeize.kext
That is most likely a Classic (OS 9) extension file that requires Rosetta to work in OS 10.6. If you are using the latest Canon driver then you may not need it as users state in this Apple forum thread.

I recently upgrade my mac air to maverick and now my version of iphoto won't work. What can I do??

I recently upgrade my mac air to maverick and now my version of iphoto won't work. What can I do??

This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks. It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
Note 1: every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
Note 2: If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1

I updated from Snow Leorard to Moutain Lion and now my internet will not recognise my password. All other comps use the network but my Mac upgraded Mac Mini keeps coming up with either 'timeout' or 'user or password not recognised' ...help!

Hello all
I upgraded from Snow Leopard to the latest Mountain Lion OS and now my Wifi will not work. When I try and insert the password to my Wifi network states either 'connection timed out' or 'password and/or user name not recognised' please help...!

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
Restart the router. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 2
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 3
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts.
Step 4
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 5
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 6
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.

I upgrade to Lion and now my Mail does not open, who can help me out?!

I cannot get to the mail menu bar. When I try to open mail, I get "you can't use this version of mail with this version of Mac OS X. But the help suggestions don't work either. I am trying to download an update combo v1.1 to see if that helps. Thanks
