Pleading for help: Fireworks CS4 wont start in Snow Leopard

Hi there -
I'm really hoping that someone can help me here.
I've recently paid out (what to me is) a huge amount of money for the Adobe Design Premium software, but Fireworks which I use most frequently won't start. It simply says "Fireworks won't run - An internal error has occured".
I've searched forums and the web for an answer but to no avail and tried reinstalling it on a number of occasions
Could someone, anyone, at all please help me?
I have the latest update for fireworks (10.0.3.11) and mac os x version 10.6.2 on my macbook pro.
I'd be hugely grateful for any help or support you can give me.
Thanks so much in advance
Steve

This is weird I just noticed your post on my email alert form Adobe.
A client emailed me yesterday saying their site was not working right using Snow Leopard.
Their site has a bit of Flash in it and I was just reading many problems with Snow Leopard.
Can't help you here, sorry, but just beginning to this is there something up with the latest version of Snow Leopard?
Hope you get this sorted. P.

  • ITunes 10.7 wont start in Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    I installed iTunes 10.7 onto my MacBook Pro 13 Inch (mid-2009) and iTunes stopped working.
    Symptoms
    - Launch iTunes 10.7 (either via the doc icon or doubling clicking the application in the Applications folder)
    - iTunes 10.7 bounces and bounces and bounces eventually ceasing to bouce without displaying the iTunes window
    - Acitivty Monitor shows iTunes as "not responding"
    - Other accounts on my MacBookPro also experience this same problem
    - Problem persists after both logging out and after restarts
    - Have to force quit iTunes in order to log out

    Update
    I was able to start iTunes 10.7 in another account.
    I noticed that there were two (possibly different versions) of iTunes Helper in my "start on login" applications list.  Deleted the one lower in the list.  iTunes 10.7 starting working after this action.

  • 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.

  • Reinstalling CS3 Why the is it asking for Adobe Fireworks CS4

  • After i installed updates for my mac mini server, the web services for the server app wont start, it gives an error massage: "Error Reading Settings"

    After i installed updates for my mac mini server, the web services for the server app wont start, it gives an error massage: "Error Reading Settings"
    The system logs reads:
    Mar 29 22:06:25 server servermgrd[82]: servermgr_web:  Error Domain=XSServerFoundationErrorDomain Code=4 "Failed to read settings: Exception:
              undefined method `downcase' for nil:NilClass
              ." UserInfo=0x7fc547901080 {NSLocalizedDescription=Failed to read settings: Exception:
              undefined method `downcase' for nil:NilClass

    To check the local network for some of the common configuration problems, launch Terminal.app and issue the following diagnostic command:
    sudo changeip -checkhostname
    That'll report some local configuration information and then either no errors detected and no changes required, or it'll point to whatever configuration errors or issues it might detect.  That doesn't catch everything, but it catches the common errors.
    FWIW, 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 are poor choices for the local network, as VPNs are based on IP routing and IP routing gets tangled when the same subnet is used on both ends of the VPN. 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 are near ubiquitous in home networks and coffee shops.

    Ian, this might help explain it a bit more:
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/06/07/mac-os-x-10-7-lion-system-requirements/
    It's only available from the store, and you need 10.6.6 to access the store. But if you can download it using 10.6.6 on another machine, you'll be able to install it on a machine meeting the hardware requirements (it doesn't matter which OS was installed on it).

  • Upgraded both computers in the household and found Lion is too disruptive to workflow.  Do I turn in the new laptop for a pre-Lion rebuild to keep Snow Leopard, or do I return computer and get upgraded memory to improve performance of existing MacBookPro?

    Upgraded both computers in the household and found Lion is too disruptive to workflow. 
    Do I turn in the new laptop for a pre-Lion rebuild to keep Snow Leopard, or do I return new computer and get upgraded memory to improve performance of existing MacBookPro?  I'm mostly still happy with existing MacBookPro, but Aperture doesn't work, the computer can't handle it.
    Other possibility is setting up virtual machine with Snow Leopard server software on new computer.
    Any opinions on what would allow moving forward with the least hassle and best workflow continuity?

  • Laptop shows "press esc key for startup menu". Wont start up normally?

    Hi,
    I have an hp pavillion g6 laptop (Product QE05UA#ABA, Model: g6-1c35dx)
    . For a while its been causing problems, it's been slow, showing viruses, and now it wont start up.
    I left it on sleep mode last night, once i opened it up today it was turned off. I figured it lost battery which usually doesnt happen, but I turned it on and it shows a blinking screen that comes on and then turns black, over and over. the blinking screen shows "press esc key for startup menu".
    Also, the caps lock key blinks once when that screen comes on.
    When I  push "esc" it shows this:
    F1 system info
    F2 system diagnostics
    F9 boot device options
    F10 bios setup
    F11 system recovery
    Enter- continue startup
    I've tried them all, including some tests in "bios setup"
    Dont know much about computers, and this is one that i need so help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi @Hp222 ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion g6-1c35dx Notebook and issues with starting.
    Try to turn on the computer you start to press F11 repeatedly till the menu opens. You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook. The document also gives you information on what to do if Windows does not start normally.
    When performing a System restore please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices as they can cause issues.
    Thanks.

  • Help please PC wont start after i combined double sided and singlesided RAM

    Can anyone help me please. I have a neo2 platinum board and 3200+ cpu. i used to have 2 X  512MB(double sided) ddr400 Ram PH brand. When i bought and added NCP brand 2 X  512MB(single sided) my PC wont start anymore. It just powers up for 1/2 a second then dies. I tried putting back my old RAM and resetting the BIOS but it still wont start.

  • Help - my MacBook wont start?

    The led is on but the machine wont start up?
    I have tryed to hold the powerbutton down and violet close, but when I try to start up, the same problem appears :-(

    I think you'll need to tell us a bit more: MacBook model, and what exactly happens.
    For example, you're posting here under "MacBook Air" but refer to an LED... which the MBA doesn't have.
    After holding down the Power button for a while (which shuts down the Mac no matter what), is that LED still on?
    When you attempt to start it, can you hear the start-up gong?
    Does the screen remain dark, or do you get to see at least a grey screen? If so, how far does it go before it stalls?

  • Help my powerbook wont start

    Im having trouble starting my powerbook. When I turn on the computer first I see a folder with the question mark, then a grey screen with a black square in the middle saying that i need to restart my computer. I know its a Kernel panic. I tried to use the disk utility to repair it. It repairs but it still wont start up. I tried re-installing the software and it cant find a drive to install it. I try to turn it on in safe mode and a bunch of information about the kernel appears and at the end it says "panic: We are hanging here. . ." So i dont know what to do. Can someone help me please. Thank you so much.

    It could be your ram. Inspect that is in place properly.

  • HELP--- HTTP Server wont start,

    I disabled the Webgate protecting port 8080 thats being used by OAM now my HTTP server wont start. Thoughts on getting it started. Here's the Enterprise manager HTTP_Server log entry.

    Thanks!

    I believe you have disabled the web gate in the OAM.But when a web gate is installed, it writes to the HTTP server httpd.conf file to as a part of installation and to redirect the requests on that server to the OAM. So Now if you revert back to the original conf file are the edition before the installation of web gate and try to start the same, you should be fine.
