PS CS4 not updating

Hi,
I've recently installed Photoshop CS4 extended on my new MAC, but I've noticed that photoshop does not pick up any updates when I force it to update (select updates under the help menu).
Adobe Updater would say "There are no updates available at this time."
I had to manually download and install camera raw 5.4 and photoshop 11.0.1 updates.
Am I doing anything wrong? Does Photoshop for MAC handle updates differently to Windows version? Could this be a setting thing?
Excuse me for the noob questions, but I'm new to MAC and I've tried googling for a solution but could not find anything.
Cheers,
David

I have not relied on it for years and years.
They have a new group working on it and they have a blog where you can leave comments, if you're so inclined. Personally, I think it's a waste of time.

DW CS4 not updating sites from template. Why?

Ok, this has become quite annoying. Can anyone tell me if this is a common occurrence with DW, because I just started my website and, if it's going to do this, I'd just as soon use Adobe GoLive or something else to create the site.
Here's an rerun of what happened:
Created Template
Saved Template
File > New > Page from template > My Site > My Template > Checked box that says update page from template > Create
Save new site (blah.html)
Make change to template
Save template, doesn't update newly created site (in fact, doesn't even show that it is).
Rebuilt site cache, same nonsense. Tried to update manually via modify / templates menu, same nonsense. Resaved template, recreated page, same nonsense.
Irritated. This process is taking way too long for something that shouldn't be happening. Anyone know of a surefire fix, as this has happened a couple of times.
Oh, and yes, when I open the page, there is a marker in the top right corner identifying the template which it is associated with (in case anyone was wondering).

I have DW CS4, not DW4 (sorry about that).
Still, I read through the SSI information you sent me and that looks.... less of a hassle.
I'll go that route.
Thanks!

Fresh install CS4 not updating

I just did a fresh install of CS4 on OSX Mavericks. I know I'm supposed to check for some updates. Adobe Updater keeps telling me no updates found. What gives?

Please be aware you run the software not compatible with this version! So this can cause all kind of issues.
Adobe - Creative Suite 4 Master Collection : System requirements
Also blocking adobe domains in the hosts file can be a root cause.Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later point 3.
General advice, use a update to CC to ensure it runs correctly on OS X 10.9.x Good luck!

Dreamweaver CS4 Code Coloring not updating

Hi,
Recently, when trying to edit the code coloring in Dreamweaver CS4, it will not update the colors after I hit "ok." Anyone know why this might be? I've tried restarting Dreamweaver, clearing the cache, and even seeing if it would work on new documents but none of that helps. Thanks for any help!
- Matt

Are you sure you're changing colors for you open document ?
I have issue with coloring too, but I thought after all this time CS5 will finally have Save option for exactly this issue. So I don't have to repeat this over and over again.

Please do not use the post title to post the entire question (no offense, it just makes the forum look ugly). As for your question - you really did install it? I mean with serial and install disc? If so, the update would work, because it would find the proper install info. That not being the case, there are a few things that may be wrong:
- due to you language settings, the installer cannot find the folder because it has a different name (though on Vista, that shouldn't be an issue)
- at some point, you used the CS4 Clean Utility/ Script to remove install info
- you are using a pirated copy that you may have bought on eBay or elsewhere that has a modified installer to circumvent licensing
- you are using an unlicensed version a "friend" gave you and that never was installed, but merely copied to the harddrive
That pretty much covers the immediate options, now it's up to you to tell us, which one may apply. Assuming, we are talking about perfectly legit software, re-installing it from the original media should take care of the problem. For illegal software, you should understand, that you are utterly on your own and nobody will help you, much less on the forums of the company producing the software.

Fonts not updating in Illustrator CS4

Dear Adobe Community:
I am using the text tool and adding text to a document. This is "artistic" text, not paragraph text without any appearance filters or effects applied. When I try to choose a different font than the default which I believe is Myriad Pro, Illustrator does not update the font change. I have tried other programs such as CorelDraw (I am on Windows Vista Ultimate, 64-bit) which update the fonts without a problem. Is there something wrong with my Illustrator configuration? I just used Illustrator the other day to do the same thing and I didn't experience any problems. It was a different file, though, so maybe my file is corrupt? Please assist.
Thank you,
markerline

This problem seems to be an issue with a typical Windows error where you have to RESTART the computer in order for anomalies to go away. That's what I did--restarted--and now the file works fine.

CS4- Pictures will not update until I choose a tool

When I try to do anything to a picture the effect or change will not occur until I click on a tool. Then it will instantly show the change I made. Doesn't matter what tool I choose and doesn't matter what the change..i.e. sharpen....using a filter etc. Also, for instance, if I choose unsharp mask (doesn't matter what I choose...this is just an example) the picture will not show in the preview window unless I choose the plus or minus symbol beside the 100% and will not show in the preview until I choose one also. I've tried this on several different layers. I already had the latest 11.0.1 I believe and have not updated or installed anything lately. Did a complete virus scan. My old drivers were working fine but updated to the new ones to try and see if it would help.....amd/ati radeon 3100. Used shift + CNTL + ALT to clear my preferences....I have tried it with GL on and off. In short I have tried everything I can think of. Basically everything works perfectly except after you make any kind of change you have to click a tool or something else before you see the change. Even clicking the little eye symbol beside each layer will not let you ...see or hide...that layer until you click the eye symbol and then click a tool. Sometimes on starting the application all the choices are greyed out....even exit....until I click a tool. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks for your help. I don't want to have to resinstall...I am on vacation for the next 3 weeks and would like to be able to edit my pictures.

Re-installing Photoshop from the DVD or saved download (and updating) is not such a mammoth task by the way.
There was a similar snag reported some months ago, maybe a forum search would find the posting.

Css files not updating in localhost (XAMPP test server)

I've got an issue with a web page I'm developing where the .css files that I attach to the pages will not update on my local host. I can make a copy of the file with a different name and link it to the page. However, if I name any file a name that I've already used then the CSS reverts to whatever was on the original documents. This is making my php page testing a pain when I view the page in a browser. The problem doesn't seem to occur for my other websites, and completely goes away when I select "none" in the testing server options. I'm using XAMPP to run my localhost testing server. I'm using Dreamweaver CS4 on a Vista machine. Any ideas? If nothing else it would be nice to know how to delete the old files that are stuck in the testing server directory.

Strange thing... I turned it off and walked away for a few hours. Upon my return I found the issue resolved. I blame the shoe elves. Thanks, you little guys!

Bug: Histogram Does Not Update when Using Painting Tools

I was investigating something else, and I saw something not working... I'm under the distinct impression that the Histogram panel should automatically update after every operation. Having the Histogram panel displayed full-time on the screen, it should always be up to date.
However, when I Dodge or Burn or even paint color on an image, the Histogram is not updating.
If I select one of the History states I've just created, it updates.
Consider this simple sequence of operations:
I'm able to reproduce this failure in Photoshop CS5 as well, BUT NOT IN CS4 (it updates in Photoshop CS4 after every painting operation), so clearly it's not a new bug, though somehow I've managed not to notice it in my years of using Photoshop CS5.
Is it broken like this for everyone in Photoshop CS5 and 6?
Could this be some twisted attempt to try to optimize painting performance? If so, why isn't there an option to allow a user to request it to update on every operation on a fast computer with cores out the wazoo?
-Noel

More info:
Just poking around in Photoshop CS6 to see what, if anything would make the Histogram display update...
Even though the Refresh icon is disabled (and the "Uncached Refresh" entry in the fly-out menu is grayed-out), double-clicking in the topmost histogram display will force it to update (as described above by Conroy in post #1 above).
If I change the selection Channel field in the Histogram panel, mostly it does not update, but when I change between some of the settings - for example between RGB and Luminosity - the graphs update. Amazingly they revert back to the un-updated state if I switch the channel BACK to what it was!
Making a selection DOES cause it to update.
Choosing Select - Color Range (just starting the function) DOES cause it to update.
Hitting the quick mask mode button DOES cause it to update. Notably Edit in Quick Mask Mode is in the Select menu. Could an association with Select be a clue?
This bug is easy to reproduce, is shown to be a problem across multiple versions and multiple OSs, and in at least one case (Photoshop CS4 x64 on Windows 7 x64 here) it can be shown to work properly, so the code is probably not far off being right. Seems to me this should be the kind of thing a junior engineer could find and fix so someone, say, at Chris Cox's level could have it done before 5 today...

Incopy files not updating

Having a problem with Incopy files not updating after designers on Indesign prepare packages on second round of revisions.
First, the designers create an Indesign file and prepare a newly created Incopy package. The editors are able to open the package for the first time. Editors make changes then repackage for designers. Designer then open package from editors and make necessary changes and then repackage back to the editors. At this point, the editors receive a message to replace when opening package. The files open but it doesn't update all the changes that was originally made to it. It as if it is still using the original assignments from the first newly created package. Also, all the assignments have "?" in the assignment window in Incopy. We are unable to figure out how to update the "?" in Incopy or relink or what ever we need to do at this point.
Several things we checked.
1. Unstuffing the package contents from the designers shows all updated file dates. So we know the package contains the newest updated assignment files.
2. If the designers rename the file names on all the assignments in the assignment folder, then repackage. The files open on Incopy with updated changes. But not if the file name remains the same. Also, if the assignment files are all renamed, it doesn't ask to replace anything on Incopy.
At this point. Our only solution is to rename all the assignment files and repackage. But we shouldn't have to be doing this, especially since it adds time to the designers to repackage the files.
Designers using Indesign CS 3 on Mac OS 10.6.4.
Editors using Incopy CS 3 on PC Windows.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When the InCopy user opens the assignment package for the first time, it unpacks (it's really like a .zip file) into a folder on their hard drive called InCopy Assignments. The folder is located in My Documents on a PC and in the Home > Documents folder on a Mac.
Every unpacked InCopy assignment package goes into a subfolder within this InCopy Assignments parent folder. Each package's folder is named after the *assignment* name (not the name of the package itself, which is usually the same but not always). So if the assignment name is Chapter1.inca, then the subfolder name will be Chapter1.
When the InCopy user repackages it for the designer, it packages a *copy* of this subfolder. This is the subfolder that Bob is suggesting they delete, after sending off the packaged InDesign file. That's a good idea.
If you can't rely on your editors to do that ... many are very leery of throwing anything away ... then your designers should *rename the assignment* in their Assignments panel before creating an InCopy package for the second or third or whatever time. They can just double-click the assignment in the panel, the Assignment Options dialog box opens, and they can change the name from say "Chapter1" to "Chapter1-v2". They click okay, they choose Package for InCopy, and send it off.
When the editor gets this file and double-clicks it, it unpacks into a different subfolder than before: Chapter1-v2, leaving the Chapter1 subfolder intact. So you avoid the prob of duplicate assignments on the InCopy user's hard drive.
FWIW this was much more of a glitch with CS3. Not sure what Adobe did differently, but assignment packages are much more intelligent in CS4 and CS5.

Indd will not update placed images that have type design changes from Ai

I am creating a book in Indesign ca4 and have placed hundreds of images from Illustrator cs4. These images have unconverted type in them. When i update the font (in FontExplorer X) the files updates fine in Ai. However, when I go to the Indd file nothing changes. If i click on one of the images and relink then the updated font pops in. Now normally when I change anything else in an Ai file it automatically changes in the Indd file or at least shows that the file needs to be "updated".
The problem is that I don't want to spend hours clicking each graphic, going to relink find the file, etc. Also, the font change is mearly the same font with a different revision number and it is difficult to even see if the font has actually updated, I would be blind by the time I finished the process of updating each graphic and verifying that it actulally updated.
I do not want to convert the type to outlines, as this would cause even more time issues.
I don't understand how the this can happen without a red flag happening somewhere along the process, as the previous font that shows up in Indd no longer exists and the file is not embeded, or converted?

Peter, thanks for working on this for me I appreciate your heIp. I think what is happening is that when the font is updated it is not acknowledged by the Ai file until it is opened and resaved. Additionally, Ai does not change anything in a file that is resaved unless a change is made. So, what I had to do is open each Ai file and move or nudge some insignificant object or some other change to force an update, then resave the file. Also, if a change is made then undo is selected the file will not update it must be an actual change. Then it will update.

"Arrange new window" (thumbnail window for digital painting) does not update

Hi,
I have an issue with Photoshop CC V2014.2.1 release where if I open a new document, then create a duplicate window of that document (Window->Arrange->New window for "Document.psd") if I am working on the original window, the duplicate window does not update any brush strokes until I select the duplicate window or perform an undo command.
On previous versions (CS4 & CS5) the 2nd window would update each brush stroke automatically.
I have looked for options to auto-update the 2nd window, but can't find anything. Is this a bug or am I missing an option?
Thanks,
Tim

Pages and Child Templates Not Updating

I'm having a problem in Dreamweaver CS5 where pages and child templates are not receiving updates made to the parent template. When I update the template, sometimes some files using that template will update, and some will not. Repeatedly updating the template sometimes forces the changes, but other times it does not.
For instance I was working on a 50 page site earlier, made up of 1 master template with 5 child templates. I made changes to the master template, and it went through the update process, saying all the child templates and files have been updated. However when I open some, not all, files, they are not updated.
I manually went through the entire site and hit 'update page from template', and that seemed to work. I opened a different site with only 1 template, did an update, and it only updated some of the files. I updated the template again, saved, and it then proceeded to update a few more randomly selected files.
This was happening sometimes in CS4, but in CS5 it has become a bigger problem. Please let me know how this can be resolved.
Edit: This is on a freshly reinstalled CS5 with all updates.

Sure. It's Dreamweaver MX Templates by Brad Halstead and myself - ISBN 0-7357-1319-7. I spend quite a bit of time explaining nested templates. Sadly, nowhere do I say you should avoid them. But you should.
There is a master template that controls top level navigation and then five child templates that give different left-side navigation based on which section of the site the user is in. You can see this in action at www.homerenergy.com.
You should see how easy this is to do with server-side includes and a single template file. It's the best of both worlds.
You can see this in action at www.homerenergy.com.
Yep. http://validator.w3.org/unicorn/check?ucn_uri=http://www.homerenergy.com/&ucn_task=conform ance - even if you would leave the nested templates in place, you would sure want to fix those.
The section-specific navigation is very easy to manage either with template conditionals or with server-side includes. You can see this site - http://www.ent-sys.com - where I have done the section navigation on interior pages with template conditionals.
However, your site is small, and simple. Nested templates can work OK in such circumstances. But I have never seen a use of nested templates that couldn't be done more simply with some other approach.

I need the updates because I just purchased a Nikon D60 and my Photoshop does not read the .NEF files produced by the camera.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
Do you really mean the Nikon D60 which shipped in 2008? Was it purchased secondhand?
The Nikon D60 was first supported in Adobe Camera Raw 4.4.
Photoshop CS4 ships with Camera Raw 5.0 so it can read D60 NEF files out of the box. No updates required.
If you do mean the D60 then something else must be going on. e.g. are you using Nikon software to transfer files from camera to computer?
