Photoshop (CS4) gives me a warning when I open it

Up to now, me and Betty and Wilma have gotten by just fine with CS4. 
However, for six months or so, I have been afraid to use Photoshop because every time I open it, I get a warning that says something like, "Do you want to allow this program to make changes to your computer?" This requires an administrative password.
The file location the warning points to is the ordinary location of the program, all the way to Photoshop.exe.  When this first happened, I thought maybe it was because there had been recent Adobe Flash updates.  But, if that's why, why haven't I seen this warning before? 
I appreciate any light that can shine on this question.

There is nothing to help or fix. CS4 is not Yosemite compatible.

  • Photoshop CS4 (11.0.2) crashes when file opens (Windows 7 x64 Pro)

    Did a recent install of Windows 7 x64 Pro and installed Adobe Web Suite and updated all adobe programs. When I use photoshop to open a file, the file opens then photoshop hangs and windows says it has stopped responding then closes. This is a fresh install of windows...
    I used drivermax to backup drivers from a previous install and install those drivers on the new install. After that I installed the newest graphics drivers via nvidia's website.
    I installed all updates for the suite then I cleared my preferences, none of this worked.
    Please let me know where I can find the crash log and any other logs so I can post that info here.

    I would do exactly as Curt suggests, and check out Event Viewer. This ARTICLE goes into more detail about what to look for. Be sure to follow every link, in every warning, or error message. Do not get frustrated with warning and error messages, that are 100% code - just look for one written in words that you can understand, and especially with any, that have links.
    Good luck,

  • Flash Pro CS5.5 gives the right warning when JVM virtual memory is out. Thumbs up!

    In version 5.5, Flash PRO gives an exhaustive warning when JVM runs out of memory and cannot compile large projects.
    The popup gives you the correct informations, and also opens for you the jvm.ini file in flash ide to increase memory.
    Thumbs up Adobe!
    That is awesome!

    Hi all,
    I've got the combination of solutions working from what i've read on the forums and this is my solution which worked atleast for Adobe Premiere Pro CS 5.5 Family:
    Solution Adobe Premiere Pro CS 5.5 Family:
    Browse to \Installation\Adobe CS5.5\payloads
    1: Start with backing up your files which gave an error in the log: In my case, it first gave an error on the "Microsoft_VC80_CRT_X86" later when I fixed this .MSI package it also gave an error on the "Microsoft_VC90_CRT_X86" file. So I made a backup of the 2 folders which are indicated "RED" in the picture below.
    2: Copy from the green directory, the files which are in the image below
    3. Paste the 2 files into the X86 folder as in the image below, delete the 2 files which are indicated red by the image below, and then adjust the new files to the same name as the files which were deleted:
    4: You will probably have to do this twice for the different errors.
    Extra step 5: I'm mentioning this step because im not sure if this helped, but I also uninstalled the MSI files to be sure there was nothing left behind of the old installer.
    Hope this helps, I will try the same for After Effects and let you know if this also works.

  • Photoshop CS4 crashes with Filemaker Pro 8.5 open

    Normally, continuous crashes in a new Adobe application results in a fairly quick fix in the form of an update. I let the application report the error codes via the automated submission process. However, I have had this problem for months now without any apparent remedy. I use Filemaker Pro 8.5 on Windows XP SP3 for all my invoicing and production scheduling. Photoshop CS4 will crash twice trying to run with Filemaker Pro open, however on the third try, it will run, but then Filemaker Pro will be frozen and require Ctrl-Alt-Delete force close to access again. I cannot use Filemaker Pro 9 or 10 due to the 8.5 requirements of the VERY expensive invoicing system.
    Hopefully Adobe techs lurk these forums and will report attempt to resolve this issue.
    Also, ONLY the Adobe website will freeze in my IE 8.0.6001 browser. I had to use Firefox 3.0.11 to access the website and then the forum. I see other users below this entry are reporting the same issue without a solution. I tried and tried again and waited. Apparently there is an issue related to the Flash banner, whereas all else will load, but the browser will hang up on the animation load. It eventually works, but not without long delay and browser hang up.

  • Photoshop CS4 on Intel Mac requires Rosetta to open. Why?

    Hello,
    I fresh installed 10.6.2 after upgrading my hard drive. I fresh installed Photoshop CS4. Installed all updates. When I tried to open Photoshop CS4, I was prompted to download Rosetta. Photoshop would not start. I installed Rosetta and Photoshop still would not start. I am running a Intel Core Duo 2 MacBook Pro with all updates installed. What gives?

    Thanks for your reply;
    I erased the hard drive and installed Photoshop from Adobe's Download site. All is well now. My personal install disk may be defective.

  • Lightroom opens Photoshop CS4 for edit but file doesn't open

    I have tried looking for this thread but have not found it... 447 threads are a lot to scan...
    When I try to edit a Lightroom 2.3 file in Photoshop CS4 Extended, Photoshop launches but the file does not open (same for all other edit options: layers, pano, etc.) and the follows box appears in Lightroom: "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS4 could not be launched"...
    I have Windows XP Home Edition with SP3... over 3GB Ram... and all current Adobe updates...

    Ah, now in that case this is where you'll find everything that you need to know, including access to the download. http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4579
    Having said that, with a Mac doesn't Camera Raw install automatically from within CS4 by choosing Update from within the Help menu?
    Oh, and another thing. If you open CS4, go up to Help, from the drop-down choose About > Camera Raw. If it indicates 5.5 then the raw plug-in is already installed in the correct location. It won't show if it's not installed in the correct location.

  • Snow Leopard & Photoshop CS4: Scratch Disk Error (app won't open)

    Snow Leopard and Photoshop CS4 have at least one incompatibility worth noting thus far. If you have a secondary disc on your system that is setup to be your primary scratch disk in Photoshop's Preferences you might be unable to open your application.
    In order to fix that, go to Macintosh HD/Users/YOUR_ACCOUNT/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CS4 Settings/ and remove the Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.psp file
    Then Photoshop will open.
    NOTE: You must leave your Macintosh HD as your primary scratch disk in Photoshop's preferences until Adobe fixes this issue.

    HI Chris,
    We are having significant problems with CS4 crashng and not saving work after it has been completed and saved onto our server. I would rather not re-format my machine. Any ideas?

  • What means the warning when you open mail app for ...

    Hi,
    Anyone knows what does the text that appears in the screen when you open applications, like the mail client for the first time?
    The text is the following (among other text):
    "Nokia identifies your phone number, IMEI and network in order to provide you with a rich experience"
    What the h... means this?
    In my first contact with the phone with "Nokia PC Suite" I found that it sends to Nokia servers the IMEI and other phone data (who knows what for). Does it menas that when you use the default mail cilent, it sends data to Nokia? What it does for? Because I wouldn't like at all that the application sends any data, anywhere, if I decide to use the application.
    I don't know why there is no more information in any place, even support page, even the ... sad manual (that doesn't explain anything about a lot of options)...
    Thanks for any information, regards.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If you need a formal statement from Nokia, you have to contact your local Nokia Care because here (in all sections) we are an end-user-to-end-user discussion board.
    Again, this is a code for Switzerland. Where are you located? Your local Nokia Care might offer to change the code for you. Although they might take a service charge.
    I see, thanks for all your advices.
    I'm in Spain, but, as I said, it is a second hand device (actually I'm the third hand). Maybe the first owner bought somewhere in Europe, maybe to Amazon.de (very popular place to buy from Spain as it is cheaper than Amazon.es, or before even existed Amazon.es that arrived to Spain only a year back or so; or maybe it was in holidays around Europe; at least, I don't know the exact origin of the device).
    Indeed one thing different is that the paper manuals comming in the box aren't in spanish, they are in german, french and italian (all surrounding Switzerland, indeed).
    About the last phrase, I think I won't hassle myself in pay for a change of the product code and be able to update. That, by the way, the nearest Nokia Care is quite far from my place and if  I choose doing by any kind of RMA, the ultra-expensive delivery costs in Spain, don't make me feel like doing either.
    Said this, thanks for all your advices again
    I'll end testing for myself if the mail application does "what it shouldn't do", and I'll decide if use it or not. Probably not, but I'll just test to see with my eyes
    Thanks, regards.

  • Firefox gives me a security warning when I open web sites and I don't want it to.

    I access a providers web site daily and when I go in I get a box message that their is a security warning that I have to get rid of before going any further. This happens to sites I go to everyday and I don't know how to stop this.

    To whomever sent me the question about screen shots (by the way I could not respond to the email nor will it show me your response on this screen)
    I couldn't screen shot it but I did copy:
    Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by a third party.
    Are you sure you want to continue sending this information?

  • Why does MAS give me a warning when trying to purchase iPhoto '11?

    I want to upgrade from 8.1.2 to 9.5.1, but when I try to purchase, I get this warning:
    "iPhoto 8.1.2 is already installed and was not purchased from the Mac App Store."
    Does the new download replace the current version or will I have to delete the older version manually?
    If the new download replaces the older version, will my photos automatically transfer to the new one?
    Is it possible to ask anymore questions in a single post?

    The version you have installed came from a DVD installer, not from the App Store. App Store iPhoto cannot update the DVD version. You need to remove/uninstall the one you have, purchase the new version and install it. Removing or installing iPhoto will not affect your iPhoto library. But your should backup anyways.
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper
        2. AppDelete
        3. Automaton
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller
      10. Spring Cleaning
