Problems license CS4 on maverick 10.9.2

Hi,
InDesign CS4 no longer opens and shows me the window that the license is no longer authorized for this product. Adobe support has not solved the problem.
Photoshop and Illustrator work OK.
thx in advance
Luca

CS4 is old and was never designed for Mavericks. You can try uninstalling or running the Adobe Cleaner tool:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Then reinstall again from your original media. If you cannot find it, then you can download here (but there are no guarantees that it will work):

I NEED TO SPEAK WITH A PERSON!!!!!! Error 150:30 CS4 on Mavericks 10.9.4

I'm having a major licensing issue: Error 150:30 CS4 on Mavericks 10.9.4
I've read & tried the solutions from the "community."
https://forums.adobe.com/message/6507402
NOT Helpful!!!
I can not locate the folder : /Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/
I DID: Adobe Licensing Repair tool:

I DID: Repair Disk Permissions on HD
I want to make sure that I've done everything possible before I uninstall/reinstall.
PLEEEEASE HELP!

My recommendation: Use the Adobe Cleaner tool to clean all the CS software off your hard drive:

Download a new copy of your CS4 installer files here:

Installation problem - from CS4 to Creative Cloud CS6

Re: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4403515#4403515
THE TWO PROBLEMS
(1) I am a licensed CS4 user who has recently upgraded to Creative Cloud CS6 (that's not a problem, that's just background). The problem is when I attempt to open files through Bridge, Windows Explorer, and even Dreamweaver by Right-Clicking, I get the option to open the file in two applications of the same name. The pop-up menu does not indicate which version is which (CS4 or CS6).
(2) I do not know if deactivating and uninstalling CS4 while CS6 is installed and activated will create any problems.
DESCRIPTION
The screen shot below illustrates the problem. In Dreamweaver CS6, I have right-clicked on a .png to open it in Fireworks. I want to open it in FW CS6, but the versions are not identified.
INSTALLATION STEPS FOLLOWED:
Once my Adobe Creative Cloud membership was active, I performed the following actions:
Opened Photoshop CS4. Selected HELP > DEACTIVATE.
Opened InCopy CS4. Selected HELP > DEACTIVATE.
Opened and signed in to Adobe Application Manager.
Installed CS6 goodies.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
My intent was to deactivate the existing CS4 install, install CS6, activate CS6, and then uninstall CS4.
CS4 was activated by the CS6 install.
I have enough space to keep CS4 without any complications, but I would like to uninstall it.
QUESTIONS
(1) If and when two programs of the same name but different versions appear in my Right-Click Pop-Up menu, how do I determine which is which?
(2) What are the steps to safely deactivate and uninstall CS4 without adverse effects on my CS6 install?
Thanks,
Buck
p.s. I absolutely LOVE CS6!!!

File associations in Bridge are handled by the Bridge prefs and in turn build upon your sysrtem's defaulrt fiel associations where appropriate. Therefore you have to tackle that the old-fashioned way - by editing teh prefs and Windows Explorer file types. The rest sounds like you are confusing a few things here - CS6 does not at all have anything to do with CS4. Sounds more like you simply do not erase the CS4 serial from your system when deactivating and it quietly re-activates the apps when you go in and attempt to verify.

Problem with replies in Maverick's mail. Originating emails send fine. When replying to an email (various addresses) the reply is hung up and can not be sent. Option becomes put in draft, delete, etc. Any suggestions would be helpful

Problem with replies in Maverick's mail. Originating emails send fine. When replying to an email (various addresses) the reply is hung up and can not be sent. Option becomes put in draft, delete, etc. Any suggestions would be helpful. Mid 2013 iMac.

I don't know how rare this is. I went a week or so without a problem, and now it's starting to recur. Also, in some instances, an email will look unsent (remain in the outbox on the Treo), but it has been sent, and recipients are replying while I'm trying to figure out what is going on. Further, it will send the same email over and over during this madness.
This is a show stopper. If there isn't a software fix soon, I may chuck this phone in the garbage.
Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)
UPDATE: The problem comes and goes. The next day, no changes to the treo, everything workeds. Now i'm suspecting the sprint server, and how it/the phone responds from failing to send while roaming. I've since turned off roaming, and haven't had a problem for several days.

Problem with maps in Mavericks on iMac

I have a problem with my Maps on Mavericks.
I can open it just fine, no crash or whatever but the map itself just won't load, whatever mode it is on. Here is the screenshot of my Maps:
As you can see, it just stays blank all the time.
I'm also running Parallels 9 and don't know if that has something to do with problem.

Spent days trying various fixes, but this is the one that did it for me. Thanks!

Try this
Since my date and time were incorrect and imessage was not working as well, I tried this
1. Go to system preferences and click date and time
2. Select date and time tab
3. Uncheck "set date and time automatically" and manually enter the correct time
4. Go to time zone tab and uncheck the box there too
5. Go back to date and time tab and now check the box "set date and time automatically"
6. Then check the box in time zone as well
Now open maps and see if it works!

Is Apple doing anything to fix the problem with displaylink in Mavericks?

I have been doing the Beta track for several years. Apple has been fairly good about ironing out the bugs before a release (as compared to Microsuck and other OS alternatives). But this problem with DisplayLink and Mavericks is about to kill me. I've been running multiple displays for several years and never had problems with prior OSX versions. My work computer (Macbook Pro) is still running Lion and works perfectly with DisplayLink and two 27" Samsung HD monitors. I would really love to get back to using the monitor setup with my Dev environment, however I can't even get a 2013 model Mavericks Macbook Pro to recognize that the DisplayLink device (IBM USB3.0 dock) is connected.
Once or twice I've gotten one monitor to show up after using the computer for a random amount of time. On that occasion, suddenly the main screen blinked and the second monitor came to life. I was reading webmail with Safari at the time and no other apps were running or had been started when it happened. This sort of thing isn't what I would classify as release-ready.
Every seed announcement I keep hoping for a fix, but after 3 since the Mav release, I'm beginning to lose hope. Anyone have info on how this might be made to work?
Thanks
David

DisplayLink also points fingers at Apple, which may be completely valid, but expecting Apple to put much effort into problems that only affect third-party hardware using an unsupported interface seems a bit of wishful thinking.
However, rumor sites indicate a focus on graphics in the next update : http://www.macrumors.com/2014/03/06/apple-seeds-first-os-x-10-9-3-build-to-devel opers/

Any body have this kind of problem. What was done to correct it. . .

I can't wait to get a new phone as well. LG Revolution owners should be comped for this phone if Verizon intends to keep them as customers.

Problems since upgrading to Mavericks

I am experiencing problems with CC applications since upgrading to Mavericks. Mostly Screen and display issues.
In Photoshop, the top menu bar where the red, yellow , green window buttons normally sit has disappeared and it seems I cannot drag the window down to reveal (if that is the problem)
In Indesign, The program opens but I cannot see any workspace at all, even when I open an existing ID file.
Premiere Pro, Bridge, appear to work OK
After effects and Muse indicated both required upgrades, yet the CC application Manager does not indicate any upgrades required or available.
I have not tried other apps.
Is anyone else experiencing problems since upgrading to Mavericks and if so, does anyone know if Adobe are working on fixes?

I upgraded to Mavericks on two computers and have display problems too! I have CC on one Macbook Pro (2011) and CS6 on another (2012) and I'm now almost positive my display problems are triggered by InDesign. I don't have to be doing anything special, and I don't have to be working in InDesign at the time, but InDesign has to be open and I get things like this:
Once it turns magenta or green, that's when I have to boot the system. I can still work with the glitchy display before it turns colors and if I'm still able to quit InDesign while it's glitching, the display goes back to normal. Same on both computers and the 2011 one has a new logic board in it.
At first I thought it had something to do with connecting my hard drive or my external display, but the display issues happened with both computers with nothing hooked up. Those are ruled out now. I took my 2012 computer to Apple and they told me it was a software issue and all my hardware is ok. Obviously they didn't fix the software issue because it's still happening.
This is not normal and needs to be fixed soon!

CS 4 Dynamic Link to Encore doesn't work most of the time. Encore stops operating after opening and periodically Premier Pro stops working. I'm told that there has been a problem with CS4 when using Dynamic Link to go to Encore and build CD's. Is there

CS 4 Dynamic Link to Encore doesn't work most of the time. Encore stops operating after opening and periodically Premier Pro stops working. I'm told that there has been a problem with CS4 when using Dynamic Link to go to Encore and build CD's. Is there a way around this? Is there a patch to correct it?

To build CD's???
What problem does Encore have with DL?
If DL is not working properly for you the way around this is to export from Premiere to either mpeg2-dvd for DVD or BluRay H.264 for BD-disks and import the files in Encore.

Trying to install my business licensed CS4 that is working on current computer to new, but it's saying the license is not valid.

I am trying to install my business licensed CS4 that is working on current mac to new, but it's saying the license is not valid. I am now on creative cloud, but need CS4 because there's a plug in that only works with that. Please help. I do not want to deactivate the current running one as I need to make sure it works with the plug in on the new mac. Besides, aren't you allowed to install it on more than one machine, as long as only one is running?

Problema Illustrator CS4 con Wacom Bamboo Fun

Hola. Tengo una tableta Wacom Bamboo Fun que hasta el momento funcionaba perfectamente con el Illustrator CS. Hasta que hace unos dias instale el Illustrator CS4 y no reconoce ningun tipo de sensibilidad de presión en los pinceles. He configurado la tabla, actualizado los drivers y nada. No se si tiene que estar activa la opción de aerografo y si es asi, no la encuentro en el nuevo CS4.
Por favor, ¿alguien puede ayudarme?

Hola,
GRACIAS por responder de inmediato, hize lo que me aconsejaste, bajé el ultimo driver de la página para el modelo de wacom que tengo, instalé reinicié, y probe en photoshop cs3 y la primera ves me fue bien lueog cambie de número de pincel y se volvio duro. Me preocupa... ojala me puedas seguir ayudando

Subject: Problema Illustrator CS4 con Wacom Bamboo Fun
Hola Chiox,
Te aconsejo leas detalladamente las instrucciones de tu tableta y cómo configurarla correctamente, al perecer funciona, si has logrado que detecte y aplique varias características una vez con los pinceles de Photoshop CS3, dudo que esté defectuosa.
No hay ninguna incompatibilidad entre las tabletas Wacom y Adobe Photoshop CS3.
Tienes que instalar un driver que en su última version estará en la web de Wacom, y que instala un panel con opciones que tienes que configurar.
Luego en Photoshop tendrás que utilizar el panel de Pinceles (F5) y las opciones disponibles, puedes guardar ajustes (presets) para utilizarlas de nuevo posteriormente.
Photoshop CS4 no es más compatible ni amplia las funciones y posibilidades de uso de los pinceles de Photoshop CS3.
Lo de instalar el CS4 querría suponer que te refieres a adquirir una licencia legal. En ese caso te aconsejo esperes a ver el anuncio e información que Adobe ofrecerá el próximo 12 de Abril sobre la nueva versión CS5.

Problems after updating from Mavericks to Yosemite.

Hello everyone.I have noticed some battery problems after updating from Mavericks to Yosemite like no charging at all (but the orange led was on )and not able to fully charged.I solve them with SMC reset and PRAM reset.Furthermore, battery discharges faster than before and its really annoying.Now I have notice that the upper right corner of my mac is getting hot.I'll appreciate any help
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

Trying to open youtube, QuickTime cannot open video.3gp, only a problem since upgrading to Mavericks

trying to open youtube, QuickTime cannot open video.3gp, only a problem since upgrading to Mavericks, what do I need to do please ?

You're right. It wasn't QuickTime itself. I solved all the problems myself.
The main reason why QuickTime files weren't working was because the newest audio driver from Creative released July 2007 (using their autoupdate) is apparently for Windows Vista (it has the name Vista in the update title). Why that update showed up on my Windows XP Pro system, I have no idea. So, I went to Creative's site and got the driver before the latest release, and all works well.
The Microsoft update (from June 2007, I noticed today, not July) is another issue. It's based around the file P17RunE.dll, which is something from Microsoft for the SoundBlaster. Not sure what it does, but I don't need it.
Sorry for wasting all your time on a non QuickTime issue, but thanks for the help.
