Fireworks CS4 Won't Launch in Mac OS 10.6.7

Hello,
I have had CS4 for 2 years almost and recently Fireworks won't open. When I click on the icon, I get this error message (below). I have updated by my Mac OS and Adobe updates with no success. I thought about uninstalling and reinstalling Fireworks, but it says I would need to deactivate my serial number from within Fireworks. Since I can't open Fireworks, I can't deactivate it - so presumably I wouldn't be able to reinstall it.
All my other Adobe products are working fine - it's just this one.
Any suggestions? I'm not a graphic designer, so if you're able to assist, pretend you're explaining to an 8 year-old! :-)
Thank you kindly.

Fireworks CS4 - Unable to Launch

I am trying to virtualize Fireworks CS4 but keep running into the following error after running the compiled exe.
The application was unable to load a required component: LogSession.dll. Please contact the publisher of this application for more information.
Dreamweaver CS4 runs fine though. I have seen a couple of other threads relating to VMware Tools possibly causing an issue. I have tried the following without any success..
1. Build machine with VMware Tools.
2. Build machine without VMware Tools
3. Stopping FlexNet service before capture
4. Copying LogSession.dll into the 'System32' folder
All snapshots\packages are been carried out on the local disk and not on a network share.
I can't open a SR request with Novell, as we don't have a support contract with them.

Some people have had success with issues such as these by adding entries to the "Child Process Exception List", but I haven't done that much myself and will need to poke around a bit to get you some more information.
Is Fireworks CS4 something I can get on my own to work with?
Will give that a go.
In terms of obtaining Fireworks CS4, it is part of the Adobe CS4 Web Premium pack. You could probably get a trial version of it, but finding it on the Adobe site is unlikely as they are on CS6 now.

Fonts and Fireworks CS4 (Mac)

I discovered that certain fonts WILL cause Fireworks CS4 to not launch on a Mac.
I have a font library of approximately 5000 fonts and font sets.
I run the same library on both PC and Mac.
The PC Fireworks doesn't have a problem, but the Mac Fireworks would crash on launch and say it encountered an error. (Nothing more specific).
I started using Suitcase Fusion to manage my font library and by removing the 500 from the system fonts, Fireworks CS4 now opens and runs without any problems.
It also runs a lot faster only having to load the system fonts.
I was so impressed with Suitcase Fusion on the Mac that I got it for the PC as well and sped up all of my CS4 apps.

Funny thing is... I have a two month old MacBook Pro and except for the first day I had it, it's always had Snow Leopard. The crash was definitely font related, because I did a complete OS reload when I upgraded to a 500Gb hard drive, and that's when I started using Suitcase Fusion to manage my separate library of fonts. That's when Fireworks started working.

Fireworks CS4 Trial Will Not Install

I have just downloaded both the .exe and .7z file for the Fireworks CS4 trial. I downloaded the files using Firefox 3.5 on Windows XP. When I hit launch in Akamai, nothing happens. If I double click the .exe file in Windows Explorer, the command propmt opens and then quickly shuts and nothing else happens. I have 7-zip and Winzip and neither can extract the files from the .7z.
I'm not 100% certain I have administrator rights on this computer, but I routinely install and update software and it has never been a problem in the past.
Any help?

If you cannot extract the files, maybe the download did not went well, and file was only partially downloaded? Maybe you shoud try to download it again?
You also must have administrator rights to install software on your machine, no matter if you use XP or Vista/7.

Snow Leopard 10.6.2 recommended for Adobe Fireworks CS4

The release of update version for Snow leopard by Apple is expected to fix some random crashes which have been encountered while working with Adobe Fireworks CS4.
Once the Snow Leopard machine has been updated, the version should read 10.6.2
Please go ahead and update your boxes to this update.

My experience is that there are certain .ttf fonts that are great in Windows but not at all compatible with Mac, and they can cause issues with software that uses fonts.
Case in point:
I have two PCs and a MacBook. I have virtually Identical software suites on them all (Office, CS4, PSElements, Full sets of browsers). I also have a font library of around 5,000 fonts.
Until last month, I just ran them all from the system fonts folder. On the PCs, this lead to slooooooooooooowwwwwwwww running in all of CS4 and Word in Office especially when I had to change a font.
On the Mac, it kept Fireworks from launching altogether. It would just crash at the splash screen.
Since I work from Time Machine and ghost backups, reformatting a hard drive and reloading everything is just an afternoon for me. I reloaded all three systems, this time with Suitcase Fusion to manage my fonts. It comes with FontDoctor to ID any bad fonts before setting up a library from the full set.
On the PCs it ID'd about 35 bad fonts and I chose to eliminate them. On the Mac, it ID'd about 135. Again, I did away with them.
End result: Office 2007 and the 2010 Beta are lightning fast now by comparison, and on the Mac, Fireworks is fully functional.
Since the only thing I changed, was the fonts (removing bad ones from each system and using a manager to activate them) I can safely say that fonts will have an impact on your software.
If FontBook ID'd them as bad, dump them. They'll likely cause more trouble than they're worth if you don't.

Fireworks CS4 internal error when export to PDF

Trying to export a PDF from a layout gets an internal error
message with Fireworks CS4. The layout involves a master page plus
5 pages with a few PSD images imported. To test to see if it was
something to do with the specific file, I tried another simple
single page png which initially exported but then started to fail
as well. Regular export to CSS, etc. seems to be fine. My OS is
Vista Business.
I've tried googling for a solution but have only found topics
around certain fonts causing start up failures.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Is there a list available that identifies fonts required by

Fireworks CS4, Dreamweaver CS3

Does anyone know if Fireworks CS4 would work with Dreamweaver
CS3? I already have Dreamweaver CS3, and don't want to spend extra
money to upgrade if I don't have to, but I can't seem to find
Fireworks CS3 available anywhere.
Thank you!

I use DWCS4 and FWsCS3 and haven't had any problems.
I do have the latest version of FWs, however, find it a real
resource hog and found that I had to
restart this version more times during the day than I ever
did with FWs CS3. So now I use the older
version rather than the latest.
I can run FWs CS3 for 2+ days straight without having any
"low memory" errors, but the latest
version will stop responding after a few hours. Apparently
Adobe is looking into this, but when a
fix will be found is unknown.
I don't believe you'll have any problems combining versions.

The lastest DW is better than the last, as most new releases
are, but it's really up to you whether
you see the value in updating. Have a look at the Adobe site
and check out the new features and
then decide whether the upgrade is worth it for you :-)

Fireworks CS4: could not open the file. Unknown file type

Hello, this is the second file created with Fireworks CS4 that can't be opened. I'm using the same Fireworks installation that created the file. The file is a 1.2 MB file containing the pages of a draft for a new website.
When I click on the file in Windows Explorer to open it, Fireworks tries to open it, but it can't. Instead, an alert pops up with this message: "Adobe Fireworks CS4 Could not open the file. Unknown file type"
Working with Windows Vista Business, Adobe Web Premium CS4 suite
I already tried opening the file, to no avail, with:
-another computer with Windows XP Pro SP3 and the same Fireworks version
-another computer with Windows XP Pro SP3 and Fireworks CS3
-another computer with Windows XP Pro SP3 and Fireworks MX 2004
Please help.

I tried to find a solution for you by using:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?loc=en_us&term=error%20opening%20file&cat=su pport&product=fireworks
but I couldn't find anything. You may want to give it a go :-)
Can you open the file in another program, maybe an earlier version of FWs, or Photoshop or even Illustrator if you have it?
Not sure if there's a configuration folder that needs to be renamed and when FWs restarts it re-writes the config file... that's something to has to be done with DW when 'funny stuff' happens.
That's the best advice I have, I'm sorry :-(

Fireworks CS4 Crashes

I just installed Fireworks CS4, and when I attempt to click on a layer for an image, this error message pops up twice:
An internal error has occurred.
An internal error has occurred.
It says the same thing twice, it continues on a loop when I keep clicking the ok button, and I have to go into Task Manager to stop the program. I just uninstalled and re-installed the program to no avail, so I am at a loss. Has anyone else had this happen? Why could this be happening?
Any help would be appreciated.

This fix has helped others in the past - see if it works for you: (in addition to installing the updater).
Restore default preferences
Quit Fireworks.
Locate the Fireworks Preferences file on your hard disk and delete it. The exact location of this file varies from system to system.
In Windows, preferences are in your user-specific Fireworks configuration folder.
Windows [Drive]:\Documents and Settings\[UserName]\Application Data\Adobe\Fireworks CS#\English\
In Mac OS, preferences are in the Library/Preferences folder in your user folder. For information about locating your Mac OS user folder, see Apple Help.
Mac [User]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Fireworks CS#/en/Fireworks Preferences
Note: On Mac OS, most Fireworks user-specific configuration files are stored in your user-specific Application Support folder.
The Fireworks CS4 Preferences file is an exception.
Restart Fireworks.The next time Fireworks is launched, a new preferences file will be created that restores Fireworks to its original configuration.

Fireworks cs4 - animated gif

ok.
Haven't had to do this since cs3.
I have my images collected for each frame of the animation in Fireworks CS4 on separate layers.
I am under the impressions that "States" has replace "Frames".
I create a new state and make layer one visible.
I duplicate the state and make layer two visible.
When I go back to state one layer two is visible instead of just layer one.
It looks like layer visibility is changing across all states.
What's the trick?
Thanks.

Hi Linda,
I'm wondering if you can explain in a bit more detail how to actually place graphics on states as opposed to layers.
If I select the contents of a layer and copy them, then go to the states panel, select the specific state i want the content on, and paste... it doesn't seem to do anything but create a new layer in my layers panel. If I turn off layers from one state to the next, it turns them off for all states.
I made many layers in Photoshop, expecting to be able to open the file in Fireworks, make states, and just turn on and off layers to create my animation. This worked with earlier versions of Fireworks (back when GIF banners were the standard format for online ads... I know, I'm a dinosaur).
I've been trying to get this to work for hours, and finding this very unintuitive and frustrating.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Can't import/open HTML files in Fireworks CS4

I'm trying to import/open HTML files into Fireworks CS4 to do some redesigning. I inherited the job of redoing my companies website and we believe the person who created our website created the site using Dreamweaver 8. Unfortunatley that person moved on to a new job across the country and we can't ask him exactly how he created our website.
When I try to open some of the HTML files in FW I get the message: "Could not open the file....Fireworks could not find an HTML table in this file". Next I tried creating a new, very simple HTML page in Dreamweaver CS4 that contains just a few lines of text and 1graphic (we just bought the CS4 web suite). Again, I get the same error.
Other files give me a slightly different error message when trying to open them in FW, "The HTML document contains one or more images with absolute web addresses for the source. Fireworks cannot handle these images. --click OK-- (next error message) Could not open the file. Fireworks has encountered a problem with the HTML in this table. Verify that the HTML is valid"... and then it closes and nothing loads into FW. Bummer.
I've searched on these forums and can't find any solutions to this problem although I found a few people experiencing the same problem.
Do I need to do something to the Dreamweaver created HTML's to get them to open in FW? Any help would be appreciated.

Fireworks is a graphics editor that can export code; it is not an HTML/code editor.
If you have exported HTML from Fireworks, you ought to be able to re-import that, but I would think most people who use Fireworks exported code would just modify their Fireworks document and re-export. (Fireworks' code is not robust and it is only intended for mockups and prototypes. Fireworks is not intended for developing and maintaining live Web sites; Dreamweaver is.)
If your developer used Dreamweaver, then I really don't expect that Fireworks would be able to import that, nor any code that isn't in exactly the format that it can export. If you know your developer used Fireworks, then you need to look for .png files. Fireworks uses an enhanced version of the PNG format for its native document format.
If you are making small adjustments to your site, then you might be better off working in Dreamweaver. If you're doing a site re-design, then Fireworks is an excellent tool for laying out your design and producing your graphics, but you will, at some point, need to move over to Dreamweaver for coding.
