InDesign CS4 crashing upon startup after migration to new iMac

Hi,
I recently used Migration Assistant to move the contents of my old iMac that was running OS X 10.5.8 to my new iMac that is currently running OS X 10.7.3. Unfortunately, everytime I attempt to start up InDesign CS4, it crashes without giving me an error message. I previously could not start up Illustrator CS4 on this new iMac and I received this error message:
"Fatal error - missing component /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Version Cue CS4/Client 4.0.0/VersionCue.framework"
and I was able to transfer the folder Client 4.0.0 to my new iMac and get Illustrator CS4 up and running.
What can I do to get InDesign running on my new iMac?

Because you moved many of the CS4 files onto your computer, you need to remove them before doing a new install.
There is an Adobe Cleaner tool which can remove components of the incomplete installation. Here is a link to it:

You won't be able to download CS4 from Adobe. They only have downloads of the current version. You didn't back up your original download?

Firefox crashes upon startup after update to new version and download attempt

I was asked to update to a new version of Firefox, and when I responded positively to something like, "Do you want to run Firefox now?" it crashed immediately. When I tried to launch it from the desktop it crashed immediately. When I launched it holding down the shift key it brought up Internet Explorer, not Firefox. I don't know why. I tried to download Firefox from scratch, but the result was the same--it crashed upon launch.

Is this a chat forum? Will someone help me from here? Should I just wait here?

InDesign CS6 crashes at startup after windows 7 update

InDesign crashes at startup after windows 7 update: Faulting module path: C:\Windows\system32\MSVCR100.dll (Microsoft Visual C runtime and update KB2538243 and KB2565063)
Reinstalling did not help
Also Adobe Encore CS6 seems to be affected

I looked at the recovery files in:
C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Local\Adobe\InDesign\Version 8.0\en_US\Caches\InDesign
I deleted all the files and Indesign started up fine. feeling good I closed Indesign and restarted.
Indesign Crashed again.
Deleted all files again and reloaded.
I went to "Edit:Preferences:File Handling:Document Recovery Data" to:
G:\Adobe\Indesign\Cache\Recovery
Interestingly, the Indesign application recovery files still reside in the user directory above. But the document recovery data moves to the G drive above.
There is no clear reason why Indesign quit loading today. It worked fine since initial installation last year. But separating the document recovery data from the application recovery data seems to fix the problem for now.

Indesign CS4 crashes at startup

I have been using Indesign CS4 version 6.0 with no issues for several years. All of a sudden, it started to crash on startup. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, I tried removing any documents in the recovery folder, I tried removing any settings/preferences. I can't figure it out. This is the error I receive. (please note, I have the master collection, and my other programs load just fine)
Thanks for any help you can offer:

I even contacted support and they couldnt help me. There was nothing in the forums, and everything is now for CS6 or CC versions.
I found this:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4877
Its the update, so I am guessing that something went wrong with an automatic update, because I installed it and it is working again!
Hopefully this will work for anyone else who comes across this issue.

IMovie crashes upon startup after installing Lion

I recently installed Lion from a download. I was able to open iMovie three times to realize none of my previous movies showed up. Now, a week later, iMove crashes upon starting it. I do not have a disk to reload from, and the update manager tells me I am up to date on all my software.
All I wish to do at this point is download my movies from gallery.me.com, but now that I am oniCloud, the storm has started! I can't get to my gallery to download!

Nanotechie1992,
Thanks for this suggestion. I have the Snow and the iLife DVDs, so I will attempt the iLlife install first. If this does not work, I will load Snow over Lion. If this doesn't work, I plan on going back in Time to before Lion. If this doesn't work, I have the HD Apple said was bad (it works perfecty well as an external) with the first version of Snow on it. I rebooted from it earlier to create QT movies from my older movie files.
Back in Lion, I attempted to import old movies to see if I can create HD Movie but it crashes.
I will let you know.
I haven't heard the word Nano for awhile. It takes me back to the 60s and IBM! Thanks for the memories! Keypunched cards and big tape drives! I loved to watch the 7074 do a sort! Amazing.
Let's hope this simple step back doesn't too many gigs of nanos!

Adobe Premiere Pro CC Crashes on startup after upgrading to new computer monitors

Hey everybody, I am tech-savvy so go ahead and throw detailed answers at me. I recently updated to Windows 8.1 because Premiere Pro CC (version 7.2.1) crashed on startup in Windows 8. After the update to Win8.1, it worked fine with my old 19in. VGA full-screen monitors. However, after I installed new HD wide-screen monitors yesterday, I opened Premiere Pro and it started up just fine and is stable until it processes a video file. If I'm fast enough, it will successfully import a file from the media browser, but as soon as it "processes" the video in the media browser or the video in the timeline, Windows gives me the error "Adobe Premiere Pro CC has encountered an error and must be shut down". I tried every trick in the book- including changing the monitor refresh rate down from 144Hz to 60Hz, tried using an HDMI cable instead of DVI-D, and tried reinstalling Premiere Pro (restarting the computer at the proper points in the process), and tried setting it to render using no GPU acceleration (Mercury software only). Nothing seems to work. Below are the specs on my computer:
CPU: AMD FX-8120, GPU: Dual AMD HD Radeon 6670's 1GB GDDR3 each outputting to its own monitor via DVI-D Dual Link, Monitors are ASUS VG248QE 24" running 1920x1080p resolution @ 144Hz, 7200RPM Western Digital HDD.

I had this same problem on my HP laptop that has two video cards. I had to dissable the Intel 4000 in order to get Premiere CC to function. However, once this one done, it was no longer possible to use the external monitor (even when I closed the lid, it simply would not recognize the external monitor). Thus, each time I'm using Premiere CC then I have to disconnect the monitor and use device managre in Win8.1 to dissable Intel. It's really a huge pain in the arse. Also, I do not have an option to choose to choose a second monitor in Win8 once the Intel is dissabled. I've updated both drivers - so, I guess that's the only solution there is for my laptop. I'd suggest not using this software with a HP laptop that has two graphics cards.

TM doesn't see its backup after migrating to new iMac and restoring system.

TM doesn't see its backup even though it still exists on the HD. I just migrated to a new iMac. After using OS X disc to 'Restore System From Backup' with TM backup it was showing the latest backup attempt had failed. The same disk was highlighted under TM Preferences too. But once I reset it TM began to make a new backup under a new folder/computer name (adding a number to the end). Is there a way to make TM see the existing BU and continue on?

I'll try to recall to the best of my memory what I did... It's been stressful, frustrating, trying to deal with it.
Computers:
1) iMac6,1 (Late 2006) Intel 2.16 GHz Nvidia OS X 10.5.6
2) iMac8,1 (Early 2008) Intel 2.8 GHz ATI OS X 10.5.4
Perform final backup of iMac #1 with TM and SuperDuper!
Shut down and disconnect.
Hook up iMac #2 and power up.
After OS X intro select 'Transfer from another Mac' with Set Up Assistant (note: this was from the SD! backup).
Everything was selected for transfer; Users, Apps, Network,..etc. (I assumed it would update OS X too).
Transfer complete.
Restart.
Log in.*
* I have both Admin and User account. I noticed things weren't performance was off; log in was slow (Menu Bar items took longer to display, clock too), and generally overall apps,..etc seemed slow. Apps were asking for license and reg info too.
Second attempt (restore system from TM backup):
Startup from OS X 10.5.6 disc.
Erase HD with DU.
Select 'Restore System from Backup'.
Select TM backup.
After that completed, restart computer.
And that brings us to now. Well, sort of.
So what is the proper way to migrate as it were from between two different Intel iMac's? I have to assume I transfered over system files that caused a conflict with the new iMac's HW, correct? What can I do now? I've already performed new backups of both SD! and TM. I didn't think it mattered since either way the backups come from my old system. I'm guessing I should have updated OS X first on the new iMac and only selected User files, Apps, Network settings,.. etc., for transfer, or maybe installed apps fresh. I thought I was doing it correctly.
The new iMac still seems off with performance to me. I've tried performing multiple 'Repair Disk Permissions' too. There are about 32 differing permissions but DU doesn't seem able to repair them as they come up again and again. Here are some examples;
2009-05-15 09:23:47 -0700: Permissions differ on "System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app/Contents/CodeResources", should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r-- .

My final attempt to straighten this out is to install from OS X disc fresh (erase/install). Transfer only User files, Network settings, anything pertinent to my Users (email, browser, keychain,..),... and nothing else. Reinstall 3rd-Party Apps. I had to do this before after updating from Tiger to Leopard because it didn't take well.
Any help/insight appreciated.

How can you rename your iMac owner's name after migration to new iMac?

I bought a new iMac and after the migration of old files etc to new one, it retained the owner name of the old one and I can't find out how to change it.
Thanks in advance for help.

Never mind, the solution came up after I submitted the question and all is fine.

Major permissions problems after migrating to new iMac

Hi, I am very new to this and need some help. Have been using a MacBook pro for the past year to synch iPods/iPads that are used within our school. Purchased an iMac and proceeded to migrate users/files etc. After migrating I have had major problems with iTunes. My iTunes library is visible but I cannot synch any devices, have tried verifying permissions and fix permissions but to no avail. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Did you instal the program again, or try to migrate it from the old system (not a good idea)? I would run the installer again and it should correct the problem -- the Proximity dictionary for English (and probably others) is apparently not installed correctly.

Help! App reg/licenses missing after migrating to new iMac.

I just finished migrating to a new iMac (2007 2.16 GHz White Lucite -> 2008 2.83 GHz Aluminum). I used the Migration Assistant after starting up the new iMac to transfer everything. I chose "Transfer from another Mac" (which was actually my SuperDuper! backup on an external FW RAID). Everything seemed fine (I even rebooted first). I logged into my Admin account first and it looked the same. But after logging into my User account and trying to open my apps they were starting as though it was their first time, asking for SN and registration info. Safari has reverted from v4 to v3, Aperture wants SN, and iTunes can't open my library because it was created with a newer version, yet Mail worked fine. What happened? And more importantly, what should I do? I don't want to re-enter SN's and info and re-register my apps.
I have both SuperDuper! and Time Machine backups. I was thinking to boot from SuperDuper! as Start Up Disk and then do a complete restore, or if necessary erase the Mac HD first (which I'd prefer not to). Will restoring the new iMac HD with the SD! backup from the older iMac cause any issues?
Addendum:
I just noticed in the System Profiler that OS X is 10.5.4, not 10.5.6. Why didn't it transfer/update the OS as well? Isn't it suppose to transfer everything? Why would I want to downgrade my OS X with a new iMac?

I ended up using OS X disc to 'Restore System From Backup' from Time Machine backup. That returned the system back to almost an exact state as before, but a few apps were still asking for SN, and Mail wouldn't open because it had to reload messages. Strangely though, Aperture won't accept the SN now, whereas it did after the first migration transfer.
Migrating to a new Mac is not as simple and painless as made out to be. At least not clearly enough. It was an all-dayer/nighter full of stress and frustration. Not something I expect from Mac, but a PC.
Another after-effect from this is Time Machine doesn't see its backup now, even though it's there on the external drive. It showed backup failed and then after I reset/highlighted the correct drive it started backing up under a new folder/computer name. I deleted that but can't figure out how to make TM see the existing BU. This has been a lot of fun.

Duplicates after migrating to new imac

I recently bought a new imac. Migrating from my old Power PC G5 to new imac went smoothly apart from itunes.
On my old imac i stored all my music on an external hard drive. I thought that after migrating all I would need to do would be to plug this external hard drive into my new imac and all would be fine. Sadly not - every track had the small exclamation mark on it. Believing this was because it could not find any of the music I went File>Open Library and selected everything in my external drives music folder. Now instead of replacing all those files with exclamation marks next to them I have duplicates of everything - and annoyingly the music files I want to keep, the ones with the ratings and play counts, are the ones with the exclamation marks (ie the ones that cannot be found).
Is there a solution to this or do I have to manually go through my entire library deleting the duplicate and then finding each individual track. I have 95GB of music so that may take a while!
Any help would be wonderful.

After Migration to new iMac, old Photoshop won't launch

I used the Migration Assistant in Firewire Target Disk Mode to transfer my old Apps and files and folders from my intel Macbook to my new 24" iMac. I had to do it several times since it transferred Applications okay, and all the folders, but the folders were empty on the new machine. I finally had to drag and drop the contents of most folders. Everything seems to be working okay now except for one glaring failure. My old Photoshop 7.0.1, which was working just fine in Rosetta on the Macbook, no longer works at all. It will not even launch. I get an error message that due to an "unrecoverable error" in programming, Photoshop will close now, almost as soon as it tries to start. I have a number of other Power PC applications (even Adobe ones) of similar vintage that are working just fine. I tried reinstalling the Application entirely (still have all my old Apps!), but it had no effect on the failure to launch. I checked with Adobe and they declined to support such an old version. Any ideas on what could be causing this that I might check? Having blown all my money on the new iMac I really cannot afford to purchase a new Photoshop right now.

Photoshop 7 is not compatible with Mac OS 10.5 and Adobe offers no fix. You'll need to upgrade.

After migration to new iMac - problems with Microsoft office 2008 using multiple users

I migrated my data from my old Imac to my new Imac. On the new Imac I created multiple logins for my kids. My microsoft office 2008 programs will not open. I keep getting the "Customer Experience Improvement Program" screen which cycles through, checks for update then closes never allowowing me to access the program. Please help!!

Reference your first post - I download and use dmg files, so either I'm lucky or they are supported.
I would try the disk reinstall since at this point there doesn't seem to be many options.
Do you have a backup? You could restore the Microsoft Office 2008 folder.

IPhoto can't find server volume after migration to new iMac with 2 HDs

Hi all,
I recently moved to a new iMac from an older Mac Pro. The new iMac has 2 hard drives (256GB SSD & 2TB HD) with all the programs installed on the SSD and the HD is used as the main file storage drive. iPhoto is installed on the SDD and its library of pictures are on the HD. My latest photo imports are working fine but the older pictures can't be properly opened, I get the following warning everytime I double click on a thumbnail:
Clicking on "Cancel" gets the following responce:
When I look at the info of the premigration thumbnails it says the pictures are located on the correct HD. The new pictures also show them as being in the same location but I'm having no problem opening the post migration pictures.
I'm thinking about trying out Aperature but want to get this linking problem sorted out first.
Any ideas how I should go about relinking "thousands" of pictures..?

Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
