Problems Installing Adobe Illustrator CS4 on Mac OS X Yosemite

Hi all,
When trying to install Illustrator CS4 on Mac OS X Yosemite, I receive an error: "required resources are missing."
Previously, I had problems using Illustrator CS4 when I upgraded to Yosemite, due to an error with the plugin "photoshopimport.aip." I had attempted to uninstall Illustrator, but the uninstall also gave me errors. I ultimately used the CC Cleaner Tool to remove Illustrator.
Now, however, I can't reinstall Illustrator CS4 either! I use the version provided on Adobe's website, so it's not a problem with a physical DVD.
Any ideas for potential solutions? Many thanks!

I don't have an Adobe installation log, and it's not hidden either. I tried installing Illustrator CS4 again, and I noticed that the install fails while ~80% through an "initializing" step. So, it fails before it even starts to generate an install log! I re-downloaded it and had the same error.
I did notice that I have some errors in the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool when I was removing Illustrator CS4. If you look at my first post, I couldn't use it, or uninstall it, so I simply used the Cleaner Tool to remove it. There are some errors in the Cleaner Tool log, such as this one:
2014-11-02 15:11:19.319 Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool[1573:8801317] The following session will be removed: bf2f18d647916c8449e4a221e4609a2

To make things worse, Adobe Support Advisor has been discontinued, which could interpret errors contained in Adobe logs.
I contacted Adobe support via chat, and they simply told me that Illustrator CS4 was not supported for Yosemite, and did not offer any further help or information...
Any other ideas? Or am I simply stuck??
Thanks for all of your advice!

Can I install Adobe CS4 on Mac OS X v10.9?

Hi,
Does anyone know whether you can install Adobe CS4 on MAC OS X v.9?
Thanks!

For the most part this should work, but you will need to make sure to e.g. fix the permissions on the Library folder because 10.9 handles this differently from previous versions of OSX. And of course there may be any number of other compatibility issues that may require manual fiddling.

Problem reinstalling Illustrator CS4 on Mac Intel

I had Illustrator CS4 installed in my Mac Mini Intel OS 10.6.8 and it worked fine, but I had to reinstall it and now I cannot print from Illustrator, it freezes Illustrator.
I already uninstalled using the Uninstaller and reinstalled it three times and the same problem remains.
If I open the Illustrator file in Photoshop CS4 I can print with no problem.
Any help is welcome .
Thanks

Illustrator acesses different parts of the .ppd so possibly could be part of the problem. Look at your print settings, try bitmapping everything, by sliding raster balance to rasters. Will say custom after you click ok, not medium resolution. Then check the Graphics tab above advanced and what postcritpt level you have set.
Is your iMac that works using the same exact .ppd?

Is there a way to change the default export filetype in Illustrator CS4 for Mac OSx

Hi,
I do a significant amount of exporting from Illustrator and always need my images exported as JPG. The default filetype for exporting in CS4 (for mac) is PNG, and I can't find a way to change this. Since I always want to export as JPG, I feel like I should be able to set that as a default.
Am I missing something? How can I change this default?
Thanks,
Chris

You can create an action.
Record the action then go to file export select jpeg and then the quality etc and then exort and stop recording the action give it a keyboard shortcut.

Problem installing dw cs4 on mac osx 10.5.7

Hi,
I am encountering a weird problem when trying to install dw cs4 on my macbook which runs osx 10.5.7. My user account has admin privilliges, yet when running the setup / installation file either from the disk or by downloading the trial - 2 dreamweaver icons appear in my dock, bounce up and down for a few seconds then disappear.
Are there any known issues installing dw cs4 on 10.5.7?
I have done an OS update to ensure im running the latest version.
I tried installing DW on another laptop running 10.4.11 which worked seamlessly.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give

Dragging Adobe files to the Trash on a Mac is the surest way to installation nightmare. Adobe products need to be properly uninstalled using the Adobe installer. You will need to clean up your system using the CS4 Clean script from http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html.

In Illustrator CS4 in Mac OS 10.6.2 my windows are blank

When I open Illustrator CS4, and open a new or older document, the windows (action, brushes, layers, pathfinder, etc) are blank. If I close and reopen Illustrator I have a 50/50 chance that they will appear. At times I have had to close and reopen numerous times. Any thoughts? No new hardware or programs added since installation of CS4.(I already uninstalled and re-installed)

Dumping preferences was done. Restarting as you suggested has opened another symptom - I do not get a dialog box and most plugins don't load. I can use the program but with limited features. I have restarted normally for twenty times in a row and the windows are showing. So we shall see.
Hopefully it will behave itself.
Thanks,
jm

De-install Premiere CS4 for mac

How do I de-install Adobe Premiere CS4 for mac so I can re-install it? I think you have to do more than just throw it in the trash right?
I'm on a mac OS X version 10.5.6
You don't have to reinstall the entire suite right?
Thank you.
Jill

I have not done it yet for if you want to reinstall Adobe CS4 Premiere for Mac you have to reinstall the entire suite. ALSO I purchased Quick Time Pro and it will NOT open MPEG files so that I can convert them to MOV files to get my timeline back up and running.eeeerrrrrr

Trying to install Illustrator CS4 onto my new PC. Does not recognize serial number.

Got a new PC last week. Trying to reinstall Adobe Illustrator CS4. Put in disc... typed in the serial number as requested, but it is not recognized. Would appreciate any help.
Thanks.

Hi,
Looks like that the version of CS4 which we are installing is an upgrade, If yes you what is the previous qualifying version.
Find the right product and enter the serial number in front of that and bingo it will start working!
Hope it Helps
Thanks

Error 2 installing Illustrator CS4 from Web Premium

I've just spent a couple of hours trying to get Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web Premium completely installed on my work PC (the University of St Andrews, UK) using the volume licence key but I get an error when installing it. It says "Done, with errors". When I click on "More Information" I get a message saying:
Adobe Illustrator CS4 LangPack (en_GB)
Error:
Error 2.
and sure enough, everything works apart from Illustrator CS4. I read elsewhere on the forums (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2415634#2415634) about a solution, but I didn't fully understand the steps required.
I'm using an absolutely clean installation of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (just has Windows 7, Office 2007 Professional and now Adobe CS4 Web Premium. It's installed with English (United Kingdom) region settings.
When I run the Adobe Support Advisor it says:
Issue no: id18308
Error UninstallColorProfilesRollback occurs preventing the installer from updating existing color profiles when installing the Adobe Creative Suite 4 product
Click here to read the Knowledge Base article
System Information :
Operating System = Windows 7 Professional
Locale = en
I followed the advice there, but the registry information didn't exist ("Right-click PDF Admin Settings and choose Permissions.") so I couldn't pursue that route.
When I tried to reinstall Illustrator CS4 it said that it was using "English (International)". It still doesn't work.
Any advice would be gratefully received. Or how can I contact Adobe about this directly?
Thanks
Gareth

Hi Scott.
It was not that I was unwilling to Archive and Install... I didn't catch that in your initial response and that's why I called Apple... because I did understand that the user account was corrupt. Apparently Apple is not aware of the Archive and Install fix either because that was not recommended. I am sure if it was a common fix, they would have told me about it. So, now that you have further explained how Archive and Install work, I am sure that information will be very helpful to someone else with the exact same problem. This problem, for your information, is not uncommon as I found the question many times in my quest to get an answer... so there is indeed an issue that needs to be resolved. Installing this software should have been just as easy as it was to install all the other software on my computer.
I know someone will find your response, in its entirety, very helpful. Again, thank you for your time.
Take care,

Cannot Install Illustrator CS5.5 - Mac Lion

I bought CS5.5 Production Premium and have tried unsuccessfully to install it about a dozen times now. After searching the forums I've tried a wide variety of things to get the install to work, but no matter what, when the installation is complete, Illustrator hasn't been installed. The errors I get depend on the actions I've taken before the install. I've tried uninstalls, repairing permissions, deleting folders, installing in safe mode, installing Illustrator separately... nothing has been successful.
I'm on a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM running Lion 10.7.1 (Installing off of disks)
Here are my most recent install logs. The first is for the Illustrator-only attempt (after an uninstall & folder deletion in safe mode):

Hi ZomboTheClown,
Try this solution and let me know if it works.
Open on Finder.
Click on Go Menu > Go To Folder.
Type in /Library/ hit Return.
Find the folder ColorSync.
Inside ColorSync folder find and delete the folder named Recommended.
Once the Recommended folder is deleted try to install the software.
Best of Luck.

Cannot install illustrator on my mac 10.7.5, help??

I've tried downloading the 30 day free trial and the adobe installer opens up but barely has any progress on the installer bar.
i have a mac that runs 10.7.5
can anyone help?

jab,
You may try to restart the Creative Cloud application by quitting and relaunching it.
Have you installed the Application Manager?
It should work with 10.7.5.
You may also try this specialized forum (where you may be able find the answer from previous threads),
