Reinstalling CS4 after upgrading Mac OS

I have CS4 student edition installed on my Macbook
I am currently running OS 10.5.8 on my Macbook and need to upgrade.
Will CS4 run on higher versions of OSx ?
Will I have to reinstall CS4 after I upgrade? If I do have to reinstall does Adobe allow multiple installations on the same PC?

cs4 is listed as compatible with lion, mt lion and mavericks: http://roaringapps.com/apps
you might be able to upgrade your os and have no problem with your installed apps including cs4. but the safest way to proceed is to deactivate your current installation (help>deactivate), uninstall and then reinstall and reactivate after your os upgrade.

I can't open a .psd file in Illustrator CS4 after upgrading to Yosemite

I can't open a .psd file in Illustrator CS4 after upgrading to Yosemite.

Can you open any file, i.e. jpeg, etc.? Have you installed the Apple legacy Java: Java for OS X 2014-001? I'm guessing you have because you wouldn't be able to open PS at all without it. But have to ask.

Can't open old Numbers spreadsheet after upgrading Mac to Yosemite. Error message says it should first be upgraded to Numbers 09 but doesn't provide method to do so? Help?

There is a chance the spreadsheets were made with a Numbers or AppleWorks version so old that it's not compatible anymore with the latest Numbers version (yes this can happen)

Can't view Camera RAW files in Bridge or Photoshop CS4 after upgrading to Mac Mavericks X OS.

After upgrading my Mac operating system to Mavericks X I can no longer view Camera RAW images on either Bridge or Photoshop CS4!
I'd already fixed the issue of not even being able to launch Photoshop by installing Apple's Java applet, but this doesn't seem to have helped with the Camera RAW situation.
I've tried invoking "Update" in both Bridge and Photoshop, and both indicate there are no updates.
I even went to Adobe's Camera RAW area, and downloaded and installed the Camera RAW plugin specifically for my cameras (Canon 5D Mk ii) and Photoshop CS4, and that hasn't helped at all!
I feel that it's just another silly Java applet, but I haven't any idea how to proceed from here!
HELP!
Thank you,
Bob

Did you download and install the camera raw 5.7 update?
Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh : Camera Raw 5.7 update
There are also other updates you should install, such as 11.0.2 for photoshop and the bridge output module update, if you need them.

Problem with Dreamweaver CS4 after upgrade to Lion

I am having a problem after upgrading to Lion, with my Dreamweaver CS4 . When I try to use the bold button the text completely dissapears from the screen in design view The text is still there as it shows up in preview and also shows up in code view. Has anyone else had similar problems since the upgrade? and is there going to be a fix for it.

There are a number of known compatibility issues with Creative Suites and Lion

Can't see your specific issue mentioned though.
Perhaps report it to Adobe via the Bug Report form giving full details

Reinstalling CS4 on new mac

Hi, I am having several problems reinstalling CS4 Design premium on my new mac with Mountain Lion. Time machine backup reinstall didnt work I kept getting licensing no longer works 150:30 error. So I contacted Adobe and they told me I had to reinstall from the original disks which I tried to do. However, I keep getting a Adobe Air error where it prompts me to download the new version and then the installation hangs and it tells me this version is not compatible with CS4 and I have to contact the vendor to get an older version.
I went back to Adobe and they sent me Air2.7 which has now helped - although I still get the error it comepletes some installation. I now have dreamweaver and acrobat pro working. However, I would really like to get flash and fireworks working. However, when I try and install on the setup menu I cannot scroll down the setup menu and cannot view any of the lower options in the menu. It just won't let me view them cannot tab or arrow down and no scroll bar - Any ideas ?
I have also tried uninstalling everyything and doing a full reinstall - running clean up tool in between but then I have the air problem again ! It seems if I have air installed already I go to a different setup menu screen where I have to choose which options I want to install and am unable to choose anything lower down the menu and there is no choose all option.
Any ideas how to get CS4 installed on a Mac with mountain lion successfully ? Any ideas how to view the whole of the setup menu - no option to pull the box bigger on maximise it as far as I can see.
Thanks

Franniehhk the behavior you are currently experiencing is fully expected when trying to restore from a Time Machine backup. To attempt to recover from this action you can try running the uninstallers located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers followed by using the CS Cleaner tool. From your original post it appears you have already done this however.
This leaves one last option. Format, reinstall your OS, and then restore only your documents and settings from the Time Machine back up. You should then be able to install the software successfully from your installation files.
Adobe Creative applications are not designed to be copied from one computer to another which is basically what the Time Machine restore is doing. This is why the applications are not behaving properly on your new Macintosh.

After upgrade mac os to 10.8 the safari surve net is very very slow

Hi my imac using the Mac OS 10.7 and after upgrade to 10.8 the whole imac become very slow especially safari and apps features. May i know what happen to my iMac?

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
Take these steps when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting.

What will happen to my previously installed software after upgrading mac to OS X Yosemite?

I'm new to mac OS and I want to upgrade my mac from OS X Mavericks to Yosemite. I want to know if that upgrade would affect my previously installed software (e.g Wolfram Mathematica).
Do I have to re-install those software after upgrading to Yosemite?

When the installer is downloaded from the App Store, it is a good idea to make a copy of it with a different name and in another location from the Applications folder, as the original disappears after running.
The installation will leave the user account intact, with your apps and files. However, not all apps will be updated for Yosemite and to save future problems it is advisable to go to the developers' websites and get the latest version, before you make the move.
I see from Roaring Apps, that Wolfram Mathematica may not yet be ready for Yosemite.

Monitor Issues after upgrading Mac Mini OS to Mavericks

I upgraded my older Mac Mini OS to Mavericks. The monitor always worked fine on Snow Leopard (10.6.8 I think), but now my Hanns G monitor takes fifteen minutes to display anything. Until then it is blank and makes clicking, popping noises every 3-5 seconds. After it comes up, it works fine and all the settings seem to be correct. Any ideas? Many thanks for any help you can provide.

Some more info: the monitor is a Hanns G HC194D and is set for 1280 x 1024 with a NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB graphics. My Mac Mini has a 2.26 GHz Intel Core Duo processor and has 2 GB 1067 Mhz DDR4 memory. The monitor display profile says it was created two weeks ago which strikes me as a bit odd, but I updated the OS well before then and this has been an issue since I updated to OS 10.9.3. I have played around with the cables and the connections are tight, and once the monitor finally displays after 15 minutes or so on start-up or deep sleep, the monitor looks and runs fine.
It seems too coincidental that this problem only surfaced after upgrading the OS for it to be a monitor hardware issue, but I haven't seen any other reports of this type of problem. This is a very frustrating problem, so thanks for reading this far.

Do I have to uninstall the CS4 software before updating the NVIDIA driver and reinstall CS4 after?

I have just installed CS4 on Windows 7 and I get the message that I need to update NVIDIA driver.
Is it really neccassary to update driver even if I have no problems using Photoshop?
Do I have to uninstall the CS4 software before updating the NVIDIA driver and reinstall CS4 afterwards or is there a way around it?
Here are the technical details:
Processor speed: 3325 MHz
Video Card Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
Video Card Renderer: GeForce GT 220/PCI/SSE2
OpenGL Drawing: Enabled.
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 220
Video Mode: 1680 x 1050 x 4294967296 colors
Video Card Driver: nvd3dum.dll,nvwgf2um.dll,nvwgf2um.dll
Driver Version: 8.15.11.8627
Built-in memory: 3063 MB
Free memory: 1981 MB
Memory available to Photoshop: 1643 MB
Memory used by Photoshop: 60 %
Image cache levels: 4

I have never had to reinstall any program for a video driver.
Now, check out the instructions for your particular nVidia driver, and the exact steps can differ. Just did my Quadro FX-4500 and it was just an install over the older driver. However, looking at another nVidia card's driver, and there were 3-4 settings in the nVidia console, that had to be reset BEFORE installing that driver. Did not affect me, but would have been a different operation for the next guy, with a different nVidia card. nVidia makes it easy with the necessary instructions - follow those to the letter, or issues can arise and the entire driver can get hosed. Things could be a simple as download, and execute, to having to do several things before you execute.
Good luck,
Hunt

Printing error on InDesign CS4 after upgrading to 10.8.2

How do I fix getting "Changing “Media Type” to “Ultra Heavy 1” would cause an unresolvable conflict with the selected custom paper. No change will be made." when printing in InDesign after upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.2?

Sounds like a print driver issue, but my suspicion is that you may have specified a page size that cannot be combined with that weight media, at least inthe tray specified.
It would help to know the printer.

Need to Re-activate CS4 after upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 (32 bit)

I have a laptop running Vista 32-bit with Lightroom 2.7 and Photoshop CS4 installed. I'm planning to upgrade the computer from Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 32-bit, upgrading in place to avoid having to reformat and reinstall all the software. Will Photoshop still be activated after the upgrade or will I need to re-activate it? If I need to reactivate, will the OS change make the activation process think the software has been moved to a new computer? It is currently activated on two machines (one of which is this laptop) as it is and don't want the activation wizard to think I'm putting it on third machine in violation of the license. Should I de-activate it before upgrading the OS and then re-activate once the system upgrade is complete? After the OS change I plan to upgrade the Adobe software to Lightroom 3 and PS CS5 - does the activation of CS4 even matter in that case? Anyone done a Vista->Win7 upgrade in place and offer any suggestions?

You are a brave man indeed, John.
An in-place upgrade is still a bad idea though.

Video's are missing and can not post any video's and can no longer see on Facebook after upgrading mac software. Facebook says content is unavailable. Is this a facebook issue or is there something that I can do to fix on my mac.

Video's are missing from facebook album under photo's. It shows that I have 99 and only shows 24. These are not copyright problems. I have had them up for years. Now, I can not post any video's too. Message says that content is currently unavailable. It seemed to happen after I upgraded to 10.7.5 but it could be coincidental. Of course, I have not got any email from facebook to help with this problem and I am really frustrated that I can not find my video's and post any new ones anymore. Any help would be appreciated.

I would like to add that Comcast is my internet provider. Perhaps that is part of the issue although the Connection Doctor confirms the mail box is connecting to the internet. No other function processes when Connection Doctor program is used to find the source of the issue. I have read forum posts but am unable to find a way to get my Apple mail to be delivered to my computer. It worked fine up until I chose to transfer mail to the Cloud. My mail account is a .mac account.
Still hoping someone out there can help me.
thanks,
anne
