Installing CS4 on Mountain Lion, CD is not recognised by the maschine

I recently got a hard drive on my macbook pro replaced with loosing all applications, so I have to reinstall them. Previously there were no problems installing premium CS4 suit, which I purchased and installed in 2009. But this time, even though application 1 cd runs perfectly, and at the point when it requires to insert cd2, and when I do so, my computer sees it as blank cd, and the installation quits. What is wrong with it now? As I've been told by your representatives that it is competable with Mac OS X 10.8. Tried to install 5 times, restarted computer, checked the cd is not damaged and remained unused for 3 years.
thank you.

    Hi galleryskins,
    The article below may be able to help you with this issue.
    Click on the link below to see more details and screenshots. 
    I've quoted some helpful highlights for you:
    OS X Mountain Lion: Zoom content on the screen
    Zoom with a mouse or trackpad
    To zoom in and out, hold down the modifier key you specified while you perform the scroll gesture.
    For example, if you have a trackpad and used the default settings, zoom in by holding down the Control (^) key while you drag two fingers up on the trackpad. Zoom out by holding down the Control key while you drag two fingers down on the trackpad.
    If you chose Picture-in-picture zooming, a window appears near the mouse cursor with the magnified image. If you chose Fullscreen zooming, the entire screen displays the magnified image.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • Installing CS4 on Mountain Lion?

    Dear peeps - could somebody help out please?
    I bought a new Macbook Pro with OS 10.8.1 Mountain Lion (as the old one was beginning to die a death, being 6 years old). I have a perfectly legal copy of CS4 Design Premium, which I need to install on the new machine. However, as there is no optical drive and the software is on a disc - how do I go about installing it with minimum hassle/no extra expense...?
    On other forums I am recommended to download a trial version, then enter the real product code - however it won't let me do this as the installer detects the download does not come from the App Store.
    Any ideas, anyone...?

  • How to install CS4 on Mountain Lion successfully?

    Whenever you insert Disc 1 of Adobe CS4 and run the setup, you will see a gray screen pop up "preparing for setup". Typically after this screen, you will get to the usual selection screen of what components to be installed as well as prompt for serial number. However, in Mountain Lion and some Lion machines, CS4 will be stuck at the gray screen "preparing for setup" and be frozen at the last 7/8 of the bar. I do notice a disk partition being mounted and disappear, but then again, that was in Lion. Mountain Lion just refuse to load the selection screen for installation.

    Sorry, I know this is an old thread, but I ran into the same problem, and my search brought me here. I finally figured out the issue. If you've tried installing and had the AIR error, and you've downloaded the latest version of AIR like you're instructed to do, then you try running the install again, it will treat it like a custom installation. You have to scroll down through the programs on the right hand side of the window and select the programs you want to install. Deselect Adobe AIR, Acrobat.com, and Adobe Media Player (they can be downloaded separately later), but select everything else, then click "Install". It should get you past the "Preparing for setup" screen - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/installation-creative-suite-4-or.html

  • Reminders made in the mountain lion app are not appearing in the ios app

    I installed mountain lion and the reminders app seems to be misbehaving.
    I have icloud enabled on my mac and my iphone.
    When I create a reminder on my iphone it shows up on my mac in about 30 seconds but when I make one on my mac it never shows up on my iphone.  In addition, I made a new list on my mac and when it also didn't show up on my iphone I made a list on my iphone to test and the list created on my mac dissappeared without a trace when the list created on the iphone came through.
    Is anyone else having issues with items syncing in the mountain lion reminders app?

    Yep. Looks like the function is down. And only for music. Movies, tv etc. work fine. Hadn't noticed until now since I never use genre as a filter.

  • When I open a new program in mountain lion it is not visible in the dock, nor can I select it with cmd-tab.

    Any ideas? I'm on a MacBook Air.

    I have the same problem as m.proudfoot. Defintiely a bug with the Dock. In addition, when I minimized applications, despite having the preference to minimize windows into the application icon, they would also start minimizing as windows to the right of the dock. I was able to fix it temporarily by restarting the dock. Go to the Terminal Application (in Utilities) and type the following: killall -KILL Dock
    That will restart the dock and for me it worked, where all of a sudden three running applications appeared and the CMD + TAB starting working again. Give it a try to see if it helps at least until there is a 10.8.1.
    As for what causes it, that I haven't figured out yet, but I have had it occur on 2 different machines, a MacMini and MacBook, both with Mountain Lion. So sure seems like a bug.

  • Trying to install Mountain Lion, getting Disk not formatted properly

    I am currently running osx 10.6.8, trying to install Mountain Lion and when I am selecting the drive to install too I get:
    "This disk is not formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)..."
    This is my master HD so i cant really just reformat it? Im not great with macs so step-by-step would help.
      Model Name:          MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier:          MacBookPro8,1
      Processor Name:          Intel Core i7
    System Version:          Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
      Kernel Version:          Darwin 10.8.0

    Open Disk Utility, select your Macintosh HD volume. In the status area at the bottom check that it is partitioned using GUID. Now click on the Journal icon in the toolbar above. This should fix it for you without having to reformat the drive.
    Since you have the downloaded Mountain Lion installer I suggest you make a copy of it in your Downloads folder. Then do the following:
    Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/
        Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button.
        Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move
        the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You
        must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes
        installing.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
      a. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
      b. After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left
          side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
      c. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one.     
          Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
          partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until
          the process has completed.
      d. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side
          list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      e. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the
          button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
      f. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash
         drive size.
    3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
    4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
      a. Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
      b. Open Disk Utility.
      c. Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
      d. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      e. Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
      f. Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
      g. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
    Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.

  • Mountain Lion installer will not let me choose my Lion Partition as an install location

    Mountain Lion installer will not let me choose my Lion Partition as an install location.
    Any ideas why?

    Again, why will the Mountain Lion installer not allow me to select my Lion partition as the location for the install?
    Good question. That's the main way it's supposed to be installed. You shouldn't even need to choose a partition. You purchase Mountain Lion through the App Store, it downloads to the Applications folder and automatically begins the installation on the drive where Lion or Snow Leopard resides as soon as the download is complete.

    There is nothing to overcome, your mac is too old to run Mountain Lion.  For an iMac it must be a (Mid 2007 or newer)  http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
