Mac osx trying to reinstall my cs4

using the discs I own but it keeps giving me error messages saying it cannot install the following programs: illustrator, Photoshop. I gave up on the discs and tried to download directly from Adobe site & same error keeps coming up. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi jalana,
Which OS are you using?
Please check the CS4 softwares tech specs ( System requirements | CS4, Point Products ) to see if your system meets the minimum system requirements specified.

I'm trying to reinstall Photoshop CS4

I'm trying to reinstall Photoshop CS4 after I had a computer repair. I have my key and I downloaded the 2 files on the adobe dl page for CS4, There's a _LS1 file of 1,200 KB and a larger _LS2.7z file of 796M. But when I double-click on the LS1 files, which says it's an application, I get an error message that says I need the 'other file', to download the 'other file' and make sure it's in the same directory. But I do have both LS1 and LS2.7z files in the same directory. Any suggestions? Do I need something to extract the files?
Thanks in advance!
Jane

they're not matching files. ie, you have the archive for a different (like the japanese) ps cs4.
retry.

Had hard drive renewed due to product recall (iMac) backed up complete system on time machine . Had the drive done got mac back tried to reinstall from time machine .The new drive tells me that the space has been taken up but can't find where the file have gone. Need to free up the space that the ghost file take up so I can drag drop from ex drive onto harddrive

Here's the scoop, new friend.....
When you boot into Time Machine you'll get the same OS X Utilities screen as you would if you booted into the Recovery HD. So, from there go into Disk Utilities to erase/format your internal drive. After that's done, back out to the OS X Utilities screen and select the restore option. Just follow the prompts to select the TM back up date you want to restore from and where to restore it to. Pretty straight forward.

I upgraded to Mac OSX Mavericks and my adobe cs4 licensing won't work

I bought my mac book pro a couple of years ago for my education at Kendall College of Art and Design. As a student I had my computer come installed with the student edition of Adobe Creative Suite 4. A few weeks ago, I went in to the Apple store to be advised regarding my thoughts on updating my Mac OSX Snow Leopard to Mavericks. I was told that Mavericks was stable and that I would be able to continue using my current Adobe Creative Suite on the new operative system.
Now when I try to start the program up on Mavericks, i receive the following window:
Licensing for this product has stopped working.
This product has has encountered a problem which requires that you restart your computer before it can be launched.
If you continue to see this message after restarting your computer please contact either your IT administrator or adobe technical support for help, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of this screen.
Error: 150:30

I went in earlier today to the Apple store to fix this problem, but I was told to get in contact with Adobe since they couldn't help.
I require this program for my works, so I need help.

I am trying to reinstall Flash CS4 professional as the action script is not working but now I am getting an error: 2 message when I use the original CD to try and reinstall

I can't get the original disk to work on a reinstall. I get the message
AdobeColorCommonSetRGB
Error:
Error 2.
I teach a class using this program on Macintosh computers running 10.9.5 and the action script is not working. It will work on any program designed using the 10.8 but if you design any animation on 10.9.5 the action script will not work for the buttons

You would have to manually delete the color profiles in question... Run the cleaner tool and see if it gets you started.

IDCS6 MAC OSX: trying to make a map to new spot script

Hello all.
I have a plethora of InDesign files that contain a custom-named spot color called PMS 295. So that the colour can be properly mapped using our RIP it needs to have the correct name "PANTONE 295 C" but the correctly renaming the source of the offending colour has the potential to affect other work. I'm after a script that will make the properly named colour and then map the PMS 295 colour to the correctly named colour.
For ONCE, I have tried to do this myself, and I have the first part sorted! I can add the colour to the document using the following snippet of code:
app.activeDocument.importAdobeSwatchbookSpotColor ("PANTONE 295 C");
But getting the ink manager to map PMS 295 to this newly added colour is doing my head in. Is this something that is possible to script?
Many thanks
Colly

@Colly – sometimes we use descriptive variables to illustrate something. The "my" in the name is always an indication, that a variable is in play, that has to be defined elsewhere… We could debate now, if that is "good style" or not, but no. I don't do that right now ;-)
It's kind of "dummy" code and not meant to work immediately.
In the case of "myDocument", you could use an additional line of code to define the variable "myDocument" at the start of the snippet and leave all other incidences of "myDocument" unchanged in the code:
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
or you work with index 0 in an array like fashion:
var myDocument = app.documents[0];
or in a collection like fashion ("documents" is a collection of single document objects, and if you want to point out that to you, use the following syntax):
var myDocument = app.documents.item(0);
or you could have worked with the name of an open document (amongst others):
var myDocument = app.documents.itemByName("MyDocumentName.indd");
There are other examples as well…

Trying to reinstall ai cs4

I had to remove my AI cs4 because of computer problems. I have the original link. Serial # etc. When I try to download it, I get :Your browser (Internet Explorer 4 or earlier) is not supported by macromedia.com. I am using IE10 HELP!

Try using a different browser, such as Firefox (this is not a plug for FF, but in some cases other browsers work better with the Adobe site)

Trying to install Photoshop CS4 and it won't accept my CS4 licenses.

I had the HD crash on my pc and I'm trying to reinstall Photoshop CS4. I log into my Adobe account and retrieve the licenses key and when I input that into the Photoshop CS4 installer I downloaded right from Adobe it says the key is wrong. I have checked the licenses several times and it won't install where do I go from here?

I got it there was something weird with the installer I copied to my thumb drive I re-copied the download and it works fine now.

Error code 2 reinstalling Dreamweaver CS4

I recently tried to reinstall dreamweaver cs4 and Acrobat Pro on my Macbook pro (OS 10.5.8), after both programs repeatedly wouldn't launch. Whilst Acrobat Pro reinstalled ok, the reinstallation of dreamweaver failed twice and I get an error 2 message. Any ideas?
Thanks

I get the error code from the installer, when I click more info. (I restarted and tried unsuccessfully to reinstall as suggested). If I try to launch Dreamweaver the icon just bounces in the dock, before quitting. One odd thing was that the installer claimed Illustrator was running at first even though it wasn't. I launched and quit Illustrator to make sure but the installer wouldn't run until I rebooted. After that it installed Acrobat Pro correctly but not Dreamweaver.

I reinstalled my plug-ins into Photoshop CC (2014) on Mac OSX 10.9.4, and they are greyed out in the Filters menu. How do I get them to work? I have tried everything including repairing permissions.

My apologies. Your post jogged my little grey cells to the point that I did a few experiments. In essence, you are right. My plug-ins do not work with 8-bit greyscale images. I like to deliberately shoot B&W and have a Wratten #12 minus-blue filter on the lens--as I used to do with film cameras.
The raw files ( Fujifilm's .RAF) were converted in Adobe CR by checking off "Convert to Grayscale" under the fourth tab. In the future, I will do the B&W conversion in Photoshop with either Nik or Topaz plug-ins.
Thanks for your input!

Mac OSX 10.6.8 running Photoshop CS5. My hard drive went belly up. Installed a new one and then tried to install Photoshop from my backup. I get an error message 6 telling me to uninstall Photoshop and then reinstall from the original software. But I bought from Adobe online. How do I go about this?

Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

I am trying to reinstall Mac OSX, but my computer does not read installation cd

Hello, I am trying to reinstall Mac OSX, but my computer does not read installation cd. After restart, I hold C but either eject cd or doesn't read and computer boots up normally. I even ordered a new pack of installation cd, but still the same problem. Is there anybody can help me fixing this issue, because my Macbook pro has lots of software problem and when I spoke to tech, they said it needs to reformat and reinstall the OSX to solve all my problems. Please help me to reinstall my OSX!

Possible solutions:
You need to hold the c key down before booting
You need to use the built in keyboard, you have other hardware connected
You need the machine specific 10.6.4+ disks for that machine, the retail 10.6.3 disks won't work
There is a firmware password on the machine preventing the at boot key command functions
Try the option key for Startup Manager to boot from the disk, right after the "bong"
Your Superdrive lense is dirty or not operating, other hardware issues
You have malware of some sort

Tried unsuccessfully to restore my MBP, running the Mac OSX Lion, to factory settings. I keep getting the "can't download additional components for the Mac OSX Lion" error when reinstalling the OSX Lion. Any tips on how to resolve this problem?

Hello! Tried unsuccessfully to restore my MBP, running the Mac OSX Lion, to factory settings. I keep getting the "can't download additional components for the Mac OSX Lion" error when reinstalling the OSX Lion. Any tips on how to resolve this problem?

Hi
Given that your answer to 1. is 'pre-installed' and 3. is 'No', I think the only thing to do is to take it to an Apple store (ideally the one you bought it from) and have them reinstall it for you.
The intended solution in cases like yours is that you should be able to reboot and install even a wiped disk by using Apple's servers over the internet (you do this by restarting with 'command-r' and choosing 'reinstall Lion'). However if this isn't working for you then you need to get the store to do it. Don't let them fob you off with 'go home and try again'. Have them do it in the shop (you're still covered by Applecare warranty so it should cost you nothing save the inconvenience of the trip and possibly leaving the machine there while they fix it).
A reinstall should leave all your own personal data and programs in place.
Note for future: when you get it fixed, first thing to do is buy a cheap external drive and start keeping a backup (either Time Machine or clone with Carbon Copy Cloner).

No mouse when trying to reinstall osx on mac mini

Trying to reinstall osx trough the network on my mac mini but the mouse didn´t work.
I tried wireless and wired usb mouse. I can move the mouse but the klick funkction didn´t work.
Somebody any ide?

I ran into this problem before and restting NVRAM and SMC solved the issue. Might have just been luck for me, but its worth a shot.
Reset SMC control+shift+option and power while MacBook Pro is off and plugged into power adapter
