Photoshop CS4 on 2014 MBP Retina won't launch?

I am trying to reinstall my copy of Photoshop CS4 on my new Macbook Pro 15" Retina, running Yosemite 10.10. After the installation completes successfully (at least, without error), the app will not run. The icon doesn't even bounce in the dock. I am installing from the original DVD with the correct serial number etc.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

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?

New MBP retina won't charge

I bought my MBP retina (base model) on Saturday morning, and haven't plugged it in until this evening. Battery was sitting at 18%. When I plug it in to the 85W MagSafe power adapter, it does not charge. Specifically, the battery icon states: "Battery is not charging. Power Source: Power Adapter"
I've plugged the power adapter into multiple outlets with the long cable and the wall wart, and the result is the same. Thoughts? I wouldnt think I would have to restore the battery settings on the first go round...

If this were an ancient and well thumbed computer, we could spew tons of DIYs to try and coax the thing to charge. However, it is completely unacceptable on a new computer of this price.
Back up anything you have of value in it, pack it up in its box and back it goes to the store. And don't leave the place till you have a properly charging Mac, be it this one or a new unit. You do have a 14 day no questions asked return policy.

MBP retina won't recognize Lexar USB 3.0 reader. Any ideas why?

USB ports mount regular USB devices on MBP Retina but will not recognize cards/reader. Card reder is a Lexar Professional USB 3.0 Dual Slot Reader Reader. Any idea why it is not recognized?
thanks

Welcome to being a Beta tester but whatever you do call Apple HQ and give them **** for they make a big thing about how their products simply work. Well it does not. I have a problem with USB 3.0 with my PCIe card on my MacPro is a way I do not have with the same card on my HP Z800.
Apple customer support are good but don't let them get off the hook. I cancelled my Retina because I began to read problem with USB 2.0 and other problems.
However I do have an idea there are Thunderbolt breakout boxes that offer USB3.0 and eSATA too. Maybe that will do the trick BUT for Apple to have a USB3.0 issue is disgraceful when my ugly HP simply works. Seriously this is not new technology.
It's Apple not Lexar who need to own this problem. Far to expensive for this and Lexar are hardly unknown.

MBP retina won't start from sleep

My MBP will go into sleep mode after 15-20 mminutes. If I hit a key it will typically start right back up. If I'm gone for 20-30 minutes or so...it won't restart. I have to completely power down and then start it up again

Not bloody likely. The update will have to come from Logitech, Steer Mouse, or USB Overdrive. Apple follows a set of USB HID standards it has since it started using USB 14 years ago. What it says is that these mice don't follow the same standard.

MBP Retina won't turn on OSX, but will turn on Windows 7?

So when I turn on my Macbook Pro Retina, it boots up as normal, (the white background with the Apple logo) but then a progress bar appears at the bottom, as if it were updating. It loads to barely anything, then disappears and shows the spinning loading symbol, then turns off.
But when i hold option while booting, i can select Windows 7, which im on right now, and it will boot up perfectly fine.
I've tried an SMC reset and turning on both plugged and not plugged in.
Worked perfectly fine last night

Connect 2014 MBP Retina to Three monitors

Hi all,
I've been attempting to connect my MBP (integrated and not dedicated graphics card) to three external monitors unsuccessfully though I am unsure why. I have done some research and discovered that it only 'supports' two external screens, though I am unsure why this is the case? I Can connect three monitors to any HD 4000 + chip without any issues and the integrated graphics should be more than capable of handling it? Upon connecting a third a random screen will just turn off.
Is there any way of disabling the integrated screen in favour of an external? so running 3 external rather than 2 + integrated?
Is my only option here to use a displaylink adapter? I'm failing to see why the laptop has three display outs. If you can only use two.
Thanks for any help, or explanation provided.
Best.
Swires.

Leave the TBD connected to your laptop and do 2 types of resets (google) PRAM and then an SMC reset.

My MBP Retina won't boot!

I turned off my mac last night while Time Machine was still backing up my files to my external drive. Turned it on this morning but then it won't get past the apple logo with the spinning progress circle. Tried to boot into safe mode but then the bar only gets filled to a third then the spinning circle comes up again. After 45 mins, it's still stuck at the circle. Used internet recovery then disk utility after to check my drive but then it says it's okay so I restarted it by clicking the apple logo at the top bar. When I hold cmd+r at startup, it immediately goes to internet recovery. Tried resetting the nvram thing, too, but that didn't help. I do have time machine backups but the files I need weren't backed up. Any suggestions on how to get past the spinning circle without using those? I'm desperate. Any help would be appreciated.
Btw, the backups are on my external drive.

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.a. Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in the support article linked below, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
How to back up and restore your files
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode by holding down the key combination command-T at the startup chime. Connect the two Macs with a FireWire or Thunderbolt cable. The internal drive of the machine running in target mode will mount as an external drive on the other machine. Copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Step 3
Boot in safe mode.* The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Post for further instructions.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is damaged and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to step 5.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 4
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 5
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 6
Boot into Recovery again. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
Step 7
Repeat step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a backup.
Step 8
A dead logic-board battery in a Mac Pro can cause a gray screen at boot. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions.
Step 9
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

Adobe Photoshop CS4 (x64) problem on Windows7

Hi, everyone. I have a problem with Photoshop CS4 (x64) running on Windows7 (x64). When I try to launch x64 version I get message "Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." It was working fine before and only today it have broken. By the way, Photoshop CS4 (x86) works perfect, I can't launch only x64 version. Have you any idea how to solve this problem?
(re-installing Photoshop don't fix it)

Canon CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop CS4

I'm using a Canon EOS 600D (aka EOS Kiss X5), Photoshop CS4 (ver 11.0.1) with Camera Raw 5.7.0.213.
CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop, though the thumbnails are clearly visible and open in Windows Explorer.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Yes, absolutely all of the quality and dynamic range is retained in the DNG, because it is still raw data.
Outside of upgrading to Photoshop CS5, which can open your files directly with Camera Raw 6.4.1, your only choice is the extra step of converting the .CR2 files to .DNG with the free DNG converter.
While you'll get all the quality your Camera Raw 5.x converter can deliver, you should keep in mind the Camera Raw 6.x converter has an entirely new, additional "2010 process" for converting raw images, which (depending on your settings) can actually deliver a higher quality conversion than the one you're getting with Photoshop CS4. I think it's worth the cost of the Photoshop upgrade, personally.

Photoshop CS4 won't recognize file and won't save

Help! I have Photoshop CS4. I have had trouble in the past with photoshop not recognizing my raw files from Nikon (NEF). Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. Now I can't get PS to save any file, jpeg or ps. Can anyone help me please?

Please read this FAQ for advice on how to ask your questions correctly for quicker and better answers:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/419981?tstart=0
• What exact version of Ps CS4 are you using? 11.0.2?
• Exact version of the OS?
• You are not working over a network, are you?
• Have you tried creating a fresh, new account and logging in as a different user?
• Have you Repaired Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility?
• Check the read and write permissions on the folder(s) and volume(s) to which you are attempting to save.
This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
See:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.
