Illustrator CS4 no longer allows me to paste images "Quicktime and a decompresser are needed to view this image". How do I fix this?

Since I installed the Yosemite Mac software upgrade, my Illustrator CS4 no longer allows me to paste images. I get the message "Quicktime and a decompresser are needed to view this image". How do I fix this? I've tried everything, nothing works!!!!

Did you use migration with the new OS or did you reinstall the CS4 apps from the original media? If you didn't, then you should uninstall CS4 making sure to check the box to remove preferences, run the Cleaner tool (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6) and then reinstall CS4. CS4 is totally untested and unsupported on the latest versions of Mac OSes.

Can no longer copy and paste from browser into illustrator - get placeholder that says "QuickTime and a decompressor are needed to see this picture"

We upgraded our iMacs to Yosemite and lost functionality on Illustrator CS4. We can save a picture to the desktop and then drag or 'place' the image to the Illustrator document, but if we drag directly from the browser or cut/copy/paste, we get a placeholder stating 'QuickTime and a decompressor are needed to see this picture'. .png, .psd, and .tiff files give a missing plugin error.

Illustrator CS4 and Yosemite aren't fully compatible. Some folks might have succeeded in getting it to run, but most have not.

Illustrator CS4 not longer working in Windows 7 - reload no help

Hello> Hope someone here can help out. Just back from 3 weeks away and Illustrator CS4 no longer loads in our Windows 7 system. We have the Master Suite - Educational version and it just stopped loading. Tried reinstalling twice and it still doesn't load. Don't know what the problem is - other programs seem to be working. Do I unistall the whole suite and reinstall fromscratch?? Ideas??
Thanks in advance.

Hello evolphin -
I ran the event viewer and came up with this:
The program Illustrator.exe version 14.0.128.0 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel.
Process ID: 192c
Start Time: 01cbfef1e0a16d07
Termination Time: 7
Application Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS4\Support Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe
Report Id: 4abb3548-6ae5-11e0-9239-6c626db9e9cd
I checked the Action Center and it only confirmed that this error occured - no solutions or reasons why it happened. I have uninstalled and re-installed the program with everything in the system shut down ie: all programs, virus scanners, firewall running in the background. I even ran the cleaner tool but the program won't launch. Not sure where to go from here.

Illustrator CS4 no longer previews fonts in Character palette after Yosemite upgrade..Please Help

Illustrator CS4 no longer previews fonts in Character palette after Yosemite upgrade
Please help...Thanks

inkydmark,
You may wish to roll back from Yosemite and wait to see whether the issues will be solved and reported as such.
Weeding out in older plugins seems to have helped some in some cases. It also seems that JAVA Runtime may be involved, for some it seems to help to roll back to an ealier version, for others to update to the newest.
All the above is more or less hearsay so far, with no definite final confirmation.
In any case, there is something to be sorted out by someone. Yosemite was made long after CS4, so it may be difficult.
There is a way round an even worse issue shown in post #2 here:

Try updating to iPhoto 9.4.1. If it's not appearing in your Software Update yet, try updating using a .dmg installer downloaded from the following page on the Apple website:
iPhoto 9.4.1
From the release notes for the new version:
What's New in Version 9.4.1

Try a reset first: Press and hold both Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.
If the reset doesn't fix it, try a restore:

OS X Server no longer allowing me to link images

Hello All!
Has anyone else experienced the recent issues post mavericks update that has resulted in you no longer being able to link images within your wiki pages? If so is there a way to get it work? At the moment I click on the image and the border goes blue and reveals the "link" button and let you do the whole process but once you click save the link is not there and it simply opens the image fully.... Very frustrating!!
Any help would be much appreciated!!!
All the best,
Fraser

You did this?
MR user Kazyua reports that you can use the disk management utilities provided with the current operating systems if you want to do it manually. Windows 7 and OS X both have partition resizing functions built in. In OS X, open Disk Utility and manually shrink the mac HFS+ partition by dragging the lower right corner. Then in windows go to the start menu and type "disk management" into the search box then hit enter. You should get an overview of the drives you have and the individual partitions. Right-clicking on the partition gives an "Extend Volume" option. The Windows NTFS volume should then be extended into the free space you created with Disk Utility. This method has not worked for other users, so try at your own risk.
And you ignored the warning? daredevil approach you took there.
Erase your disk and reinstall, that Warning at the top of the page not to attempt without backup was serious, and DU was entirely the wrong tool.
Yes I have formatted my system countless times before so I figured I would be carefuly and could handle it. But as I said above, I buggered my system.
I'm sure there must be a way to recover the files before doing a reinstall.

Created slide show in iPhoto, but with new version music no longer will play. When I click on fit slideshow to music, iPhoto shuts down. How can I fix this.

I created a slideshow in a previous version of iPhoto. Since updating software the music in my slide show no longer plays. How do I fix this? If I select fit slideshow to music, the application will shutdown and the error file is sent and have to reopen iPhoto.

I reorganized iTunes music library and it works.

Illustrator CS4 no longer previews fonts in Character palette after Yosemite upgrade

Howdy. Recently upgraded to Yosemite. In my copy of Adobe CS4, fonts no longer preview in the dropdown menu of the Character palette, unless the mouse rolls over them. Very frustrating. Does this occur with any other version of Illustrator? Any way I can fix this?
Here's an image that shows you what I mean:

Tom, Lisbeth,
Bryan,
What ahppens if you open System Preferences and go to Accessibility. Next, select Display from the source list along the left, then check the box labelled “Reduce transparency.”?
It seems to work for CS5, see here:

CS4 no longer allows me to markup highlighted text?

I am not sure why this code used to work in CS2 and not in CS4.
I used to be able to tag selected (with text tool) text with a markup tag using the below script. It was simple and worked placing tag markers around the highlighted text. However with CS4 I receive the error… "Adobe InDesign CS4 got an error: Cannot change the element to be associated with this object. Try creating a new element."
Can anybody PLEASE help me out?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
    activate
    tell document 1
        tell XML element 1
            set t to make XML element with properties {markup tag:"expirationdate"}
        end tell
        tell selection to markup using t
    end tell
end tell

When I try and open Illustrator CS4 on my 2008 macbook running Mavericks I get a message telling me that Licensing for this product has stopped working' Error 150:30

Has anyone encountered this error message?

According to Google a couple of folks had this error.

HT5361 My apple mail will no longer allow me to select a signature and have it display in outgoing mail.

My signature is no longer appearing in my new outgoing mail message drafts. When I attempt to select the right signature, the dropdown in the email draft says 'none'
Under mail preferences--signatures--choose signatures it also says none and does not let me select anything though two signatures exist tied to this account.
Since I didn't create the issue I also don't know how to fix it and all attempts so far have failed. Feedback desired.

Mail > Preferences > Signatures
Drag the signatures you want to use to the account. Then relaunch Mail.

Urgent help!! In 'export audio to movie' the final option to disable the original audio has disappeared. I am no longer allowed to deselect the audio tracks. Any ideas why Logic has stopped this?

Greeting all
I'm creating a movie with a new music track and follow the appropriate steps as in the manual:
Choose format options for the bounced audio file, and click OK.
In the dialog that appears, enter a name and target folder for the movie, and click Save.Another dialog opens, allowing you to choose which of the original movie’s audio tracks should be used in the new movie.
Select the audio track that you want to retain in the new movie, and click OK.
The QuickTime movie is exported to the selected folder; it contains all selected audio tracks, plus the part of your project that is encompassed by the start and end points of the QuickTime movie.
However, this final dialog option 'select the audio tracks of movie to keep in new movie' has disappeared!!! For some reason Logic goes straight to bouncing without the offer to remove the original audio. My final movie ends up with both sets of audios. Any ideas please???
Best
Juan

It is still there and Logic did not remove it.
Did you do some trouble shooting.
Try to load a different video (with different codec) to see if it is video file related
Try a new (empty) project to see if it is project related
Try to remove Logic preferences (move the original back if this wasn't the problem because the file contains other info you might not want to lose)
Hope that helps

If I no longer have access to my original e-mail associated with my account and my passwords and e-mail accounts associated with my Apple device, how can I fix this solution? I have 2 ipads and 1 iphone and I cannot update any of my apps.

I tried to change the e-mail associated with my apple account because my school was closing and I knew I would no longer have accss to that e-mail account, however now all 3 of my devices ( 2 ipads & 1 iphone are screwed up as far as the e-mail accounts associated with each device and the passwords. I have tried all the on-line support/suggestions and took my devices to a local Apple store and no one/nothing helps.
Does anyone have a solution? I can purchase new apps but I cannot update any of the apps I have to any of my devices.

Unfortunately, it says I can't delete anything without the missing password.
