Install CS4 on a PC that already has CC installed

I'm trying to install Adobe CS4 on Windows 7 Pro x64. It already has Adobe Creative Cloud 2014 installed on it.
When I initially tried to install CS4 from the DVD, most of the programs installed, but the ones I really need said they failed to install (Illustrator and Photoshop x64).
I restarted, disabled my Antivirus, copied the entire contents of both DVDs to the C: drive, and ran the installation again.
After selecting the components I want (Illustrator & Photoshop), and click Next, the installation sits at "Preparing to Install" (not frozen). I've left it sitting on this screen for 10-15 minutes with nothing happening.
Please advise.

Cella Molnar please check your installation logs for any specific errors. You can find details on how to locate and interpret your installation log files at Troubleshoot installation with install logs | CS3, CS4. You are welcome to post any specific errors you discover to this discussion.

Can I install elements on a computer that already has photoshop CS 6 without damaging CS 6.

I have photoshop CS 6 for students and teachers on my computer already. I was feeling optimistic about the time and attention I would have for learning all the complications of a full version. I have used only elements in the past and have not been an advanced user at that. I need to edit some photos for school quickly. Can I install the version of elements that I already have without damaging the CS 6 version? My installation disk for CS 6 has a small crack in the center and I'm not sure if it will work again.

Yes, all versions of Adobe software install into their own separate folders on your hard drive and will happily co-exist.
So you can install Elements without interfering with CS6.
My installation disk for CS 6 has a small crack in the center and I'm not sure if it will work again.
Doesn't matter. You don't really need it again other than as a drink coaster. It probably contains outdated software anyway.
You can always download the CS6 installer from the Adobe website when you need to re-install CS6.

Clean installation of Lion on disk that already has Lion installed

I want to make a clean installation of Lion on a disk where I already have Lion installed. I then got a message that I have to place the earlier app in the trash. What and where are the earlier version? Regards and thanks in advance for help!

Hi kajfromfitou:
I also perfer the clone approach. For one thing, all data, hidden files, etc., you might want to ever access will be available until you dispose of your clone--if ever. And, after you get everything set up, you can clone your new Lion drive over your old Lion clone for continusous use as a back up. If your internal dirve ever gets fouled, then you can clone from you external over your internal partition, and you are good to go again.
Below are the steps I used in doing what you apparently want to do--except that the clone I made was of my Snow Leopard installation. You will be cloning your existing Lion installation. My steps are only illustrative since your apps, files, etc., may be very different from mine. You will need a Lion installer if you go this way. Don't delete it if you have it whatever you do. See the last step below first. You may want to get the Lion version of SuperDuper as a preliminary step since you would be cloing a Lion partition to your exernal drive (yes, you may have to buy a bootabl external drive).
01. Downloaded Lion to Internal/SnowLeopard drive stopping the installer before it installs (made copy of installer to be sure I had one before moving on)
02. Backed up Snow Leopard by cloning internal drive to external drive partition
03. Formatted external drive Lion setup partition as Mac OS X journaled using internal Snow Leopard installation (be sure the partition is GUID)
04. Installed Office via disk on Lion partition and copied documents from internal to Lion Documents folder
05. Copied my Picture and Movies files to pertinent folders on Lion
06. Imported Safari bookmarks on Lion partition from previously exported file
07. Installed QT 7 and QT Pro License
08. Updated iTunes and copied user iTunes folder to Music folder on Lion partition
09. Imported Address Book on Lion using previously prepared archive file
10. Installed various additional pieces of software using accumulated disks (e.g., Photoshop CS4) ,image files, downloads (e.g.,iLife11) and product keys
11. Just started using Mail5.0; it just works
12. Installed Printer
13. Installed Flash beta from Adobe site (new version now is available)
14. Copied iWeb domain filefrom Snow Leopard installation to appropriate place in Lion installation (instructions may be needed on this step)
15. Tested Lion drive and did miscellaneous setup tasks
16. Downloaded and Installed Lion version of SuperDuper on Lion and cloned Lion drive to my internal.

How to install windows 8 on mac that already has a windows 7

I tried to find an option in bootcamp about creating another partition, but obviously there isn't anything. I just want to ask if there are some way to install another system beside lion and windows 7. Thx..and i do have a 500GB usb drive

On a Mac Pro in my case, to add D/E drive for another OS in existing Bootcamp Windows space if you have sufficient GBs, press Start button on Windows Desktop and key "computer management" into search box. In resulting Computer Management menu, Disk Management right-click on the C: space provides dropdown allowing you to Shrink the C: space by perhaps 60 GB, probably not less than 30 which will result in addition of D or E partition. Windows will format it Ntfs at this point and you can name the drive Windows 8 RP 64 or something.
Be sure that you have copied the "product key" provided you on download page for Windows 8 RP
( http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/windows-8/download ). So now when you have your Windows 8 ISO Dvd/Flash? created - I used Windows 7 right-click on ISO download to create DVD-R.
To install, you select this DVD via Mac's boot option menu. When install is done, you run Bootcamp updates as you did for existing Windows version. In my case, I only did first and last (Boot camp 3.1 and Bootcamp 4 or 5).
Note: you can change the default Windows OS boot and menu time in "Advanced System Settings"->Startup and Recovery Settings Tab. When Windows is default/target boot in Mac OS setttings you see the Windows startup menu allowing selection of either 7 or 8 OS.
After Bcamp updates there will be Windows updates and you should be safe with the installed Windows Defender which has been beefed up. You can get Windows Live including Mail, as you wish. Your Pics, Vids, Music can be accessd from the C: drive.
To remove the 8 space, when you no longer want it (First be SURE that Windows 7 is the default OS Boot in Both OSs!!), in Disk Management, right click allows "Delete Volume". When done, you can then "Extend Volume" in Windows 7 area to get it back to what it was.
If you want Windows Media Center which is not option in W 8 RP, you can add it as follows:
1.Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.
(If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, and then click Search.)
2.Enter add features in the search box, and then tap or click Add features to Windows 8.
3.Tap or click I already have a product key.
4.Enter this product key: MBFBV-W3DP2-2MVKN-PJCQD-KKTF7 and then click Next.
5.Select the checkbox to accept the license terms and then click Add features.
6.Your PC will restart and the Windows Media Center tile will be pinned to the Start screen.

Can't boot Mountain Lion installer on a machine that already has Mavericks installed

I have upgraded my Mac mini 2012 to Mavericks, and everything is running quite well. However, I need to also run Mountain Lion (a piece of hardware I need to use is not Mavericks compatible.)
I am attempting to install Mountain Lion on a 2nd partition on my Mini's internal hard drive by following the following steps:
* used Disk Utility to repartition my mini's internal drive, creating a 100 GB partition to install Mountain Lion on
* used DiskMakerX to create a Mountain Lion bootable USB key
* rebooted machine while holding down Option
At this point the boot menu appears and I see icons for both my Mavericks partition, as well as the Mountain Lion installer USB key. However when I select the USB key and try to boot from it, it does not boot; instead I get a gray screen with the universal "no" symbol (circle with a slash through it) on it.
I tested the USB key on another Mac and it booted fine, so there is nothing wrong with the USB key I made. So it would seem that the Mountain Lion installer will refuse to run on a computer if it has a newer OS on it, even if the computer has a free partition (or drive) to install on to.
Is there any way around this restriction?

Hi,
to calm your nerves: on my computer I have CS3 and CS4, and I work with both versions, but of course, I never use them at the same time. First, I had CS3, CS4 I installed later.
All the keyboard short cuts, like yours work free from defects.

Installing XI 3.0 on a LPAR that already has XI 3.0 installed on it

Hello,
I'm thinking about installing XI 3.0 on a LPAR that already has XI 3.0 installed. Is there anything I should be aware of before installing the 2nd instance of XI on the LPAR. Is this even a recommended practice?
Thanks,
Jeff

To add to Patrick's suggestion....
What I am suggesting is not the cause of the FLOWS_030000 user existing error, but could be another issue which caused your installation to fail.
In your post, you said...
This is the command i gave to configure from SQL prompt:
@D:\Apex3.0\apexins.sql <Newly Create User> <Newly Created Tablespace> <Newly Created Tablespace> TEMP /i/
You have specified an absolute path when running the apexins.sql script. In order for the installation to succeed, you must first change your working directory to the directory where you unzipped the apex_3.0.zip file and then run the script. This is because the apexins.sql script subsequently references other sql scripts, using relative paths.
You have also not included a password in your command, was this just for purposes of the posting, or could this also be an issue, as in:
@apexins password tablespace_apex tablespace_files tablespace_temp images
Hope this helps,
Anthony

I have a Macbook Pro and have just purchased a GSP hidden objects game. It says on the box that it is compatible and when I try and install it it tells me that installation has been successful. However, it then says that PowerPC games not supported. Help?

I have a Macbook Pro and have just purchased a GSP hidden objects game. It says on the box that it is compatible and when I try and install it it tells me that installation has been successful. However, it then says that PowerPC games not supported. Help?
No game icon appears on my desktop and I don't know what I can do.
Really ****** off as i've not played these games since switching from a windows PC to a Mac and was really excited!! All I want is to be able to play my new game that arrived in the post today. If anyone can help I would be really really grateful....
The game says that it needs Mac OS X 10.3 or higher to run so I don't understand what the problem is or how I can fix it!!

beckyj3,
the last version of Mac OS X which supported running PowerPC apps on Intel Macs was Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). If you’d like to play this PowerPC game on your Intel MacBook Pro, then you’ll need to install Snow Leopard on it and boot into Snow Leopard. (Note that the last MacBook Pro which natively supported Snow Leopard was the Early 2011 model.)
The game was almost certainly published before Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) was released, so back then, all versions of “Mac OS X 10.3 or higher” would have supported running that PowerPC game.

I have a new computer from my father that already has his iphone content on it. what do i need to do to switch my phone over from my old computer to the new one and have the new computer sync MY contacts and content to the new computer without erasing

i have a new computer from my father that already has his iphone content on it. what do i need to do to switch my phone over from my old computer to the new one and have the new computer sync MY contacts and content to the new computer without erasing my contact lists and purchased apps?

okay from reading posts it seems if I transfer my backed up info from my old comp to the new one and erase my dad's phone's back up i could reset my phone and it would transfer all my old data back onto the phone, be linked to the new computer and i could proceed. Where do i find the backed up info from my phone?

Yes, but all the data from your sisters PC will be erased and replaced with yours, which is probably what you want anyhow.

Everytime I try to install 64 bit ITunes on my window8.1 it says that it has not installed properly.

Everytime I try to install 64 bit ITunes on my window8.1 it says that it has not installed properly. I don't know what can I do, or where do I go next. Please help, I am lost.

I have a similar question. I am trying to install 64-bit iTunes on Windows 7 Professional. I click on the download button and specify some folder in which to save the installation file, iTunes64Setup.exe, and Apple thinks it has downloaded iTunes64Setup.exe, but that file is not where I asked for it to be put (or anywhere on my hard drive, if I search for it). I have tried downloading to many different places, both with and without requesting news, updates, special offers, etc., and have had no luck at all with anything I tried. This is extraordinarily frustrating and I have wasted a lot of time. Please help me get iTunes64Setup.exe onto my computer somehow. Thank you.

How to use MobileMe family email acct created at my iMac on iPad 1 that already has free yahoo mail set up on it?

How to establish and use MobileMe family email acct created at my iMac on iPad 1 that already has free yahoo mail acct set up on it.

I don't know what the limit is for the number of email accounts that can be accessed with the iPad's Mail app if there is a limit, but it is definitely more than one email account.
Add the MobileMe account - at Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, select Add Account. Select MobileMe and follow the prompts.

How can I add the Blackberry my friend gave me to my account that already has my prepaid phone on it?

How can I add the Blackberry my friend gave me to my account that already has my prepaid phone on it?

A few questions to clarify your specific situation will help us to better help you...
Do you want to swap phones and use the BlackBerry instead of your current phone? I don't think you can add a line to a pre-paid account to use both - it would have to be two separate accounts.
What model BB is it? And is it Verizon branded? It may or may not be usable on a pre-paid account.
Finally, what is your current phone and account set up? You may need to get a different pre-paid plan to use the BB, if it is usable on Verizon.
