Reinstalling cs4 upgrade on os10.8.3

My Company has updated my mac from an older power pc imac to a new imac with Os 10.8.3.
I'm trying to load on the applications with I have in boxed form using disks.
Oh Oh no disk tray in this new mac. Ive tried using remote disk linked from my older mac but the new mac wont install the disk saying its a powerpc application.
I only have a full version of adobe CS1 and everything else up to CS4 are upgrades.
How Can i get this onto the new imac?
Surely if I have all my serial nos. etc Adobe can supply these files as online downloads.
Anyone know a way around this? Please help

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.

If I update to Lion from 10.6.8, will Adobe CS4 "upgrade" work?????

I have Adobe CS4 from an "upgrade". Will these adobe programs work if I upgrade to Lion? Please, need an answer ASAP, so I know whether to make my next computer a Mac or a PC!!!! It is absolutely ridiculous that my friend, who has at least 8 PC computers ( including business computers) is able to use all features of icloud using Win7(which is 16 months old), and I cannot use it on my "Apple" antique using 10.6.8(which is only 9 months old) (2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) for the same purpose.
I have never even had a PC, always an Apple product. Now I get slapped in the face, HARD. Apple just killed me for EVER buying another Apple computer, if I am unable to use ICloud with my computers which WILL run my adobe products. I also have an IMac Intel Core duo 3.06, two IPads and a new Iphone. and now I am done with Apple products I guess, if I have to update to Lion to use ICloud with a computer. Especially if Lion doesn't support my current expensive suite of CS4(UPGRADE), and other Apps. What on earth is Apple trying to do, phase out of computers totally? Have a relative who works for Apple, and no one can figure out why the company is so favoring the PC people. The only thing I can come up with is that Win7 is a far superior program to OS10.6.8, and is likely vastly superior to the current joke of "Lion", and the upcoming "Mountain Lion". At least Snow Leopards have some dignity, and honesty in their "live" form. "Lion" is aptly named after an animal widely known for killing and eating cubs of its own species. Mountain Lions are sneaky, creepy stalkers, who attack suddenly without notice, and kill animals off efficiently and quickly. Male Mt.Lions also are known to kill the young of their own species, even their own cubs. I guess these new OS's are aptly named, as they certainly are killing off those who have been faithful to Apple for so long.
I can buy a PC running Win 7, with the speed, programs, etc., that I need, for far less than a new, comparable Mac, which it seems will require me to purchase all new expensive Apps. (Adobe CS+), etc.
Why is Apple unable to either 1) offer its previously totally faithful adherants the ability to use its ICloud service using 10.6.8, which only came out 9 months ago (while Win 7 and Vista users can use the service easily), or at least make its new OS, work with expensive Apps owned by people, which work on 10.6.8, but will not work, so I hear, on "Lion" (and presumably not on "Mountain Lion" either).   Apple is/has turned into a predator of the worst sort, without a single thought or care about previously faithful customers.   WHY?
Also, off my wagon and back to my question; will an "UPGRADE" of Adobe CS4 work with the latest updated "Lion"? Thanks!

I went to that page. Basically, it didn't specifically answer my question, or I am too dense to find the answer. I understand that there are a few problems with Photoshop, which is the main use (of mine). I could live with what it says. I also found that there were problems with CS4, and using the brush tool, when I updated to 10.6.8. Found a fix to that by updating my Quicktime. Why that works, I have no idea. I am not a computer whiz, in fact at the other end of the spector, but read on a discussion that this updating of Quicktime worked, so tried it, and it did!
This community is a life saver for me. I live in rural Wyoming (I guess all of Wyoming is rural.....) and no one knows anything about Macs. All my problems have been solved by you great people! And I thank you !
My present concern is: I read somewhere else, that if my version of Photoshop, which is CS4, was purchased as an "upgrade", which it was, then maybe it will not upload to "Lion", as maybe the disk (upgrade), I have, may use Rosetta, which is NOT included in "Lion".   What I have read is that I would have to have a "new" (not an upgrade) version of CS4 in order for it to work with "Lion".   Anyone out there know the answer???? Photoshop users?????
Geniuses???? If you know, please help me out here. I love my Macs, but really am irritated that the friends I have tried to talk into buying Mac computers, but didn't, now can enjoy all the advantages of ICloud, with an older version of their computer program (Win 7 OR(!!!) VISTA, and I cannot !!!! Here I sit, with my 2 beloved Macs, both fairly new, 2 IPads, a new IPhone, and I am the one that cannot use ICloud?????? Was it in fact made for PC people, who have become Apple consumers through iPhone and iPad, and not made for the faithful, longtime Apple consumers???? HELP!!!!

Keep in mind that if your camera is newer than the last released version of Camera Raw (5.7) for Photoshop CS4, Adobe does provide a free solution for compatibility, as Curt has mentioned, through the use of the free DNG Converter application.
The way that works is this:
1. You get your raw images from your new camera into a folder on your computer.
2. You run the latest DNG Converter application and choose the folder.
3. It converts the entire folder full of images to .DNG files.
4. You open a DNG file as you would an older raw file, with your old version of Photoshop.
While the DNG Converter provides you a way to continue to use your older Photoshop software with a new camera, keep in mind that there are significant improvements in the raw converter in the latest version of Photoshop that may allow you to make better images out of your raw files if you do choose to upgrade Photoshop.

Installing InDesign CS4 upgrade from Pagemaker 7.0

I have purchased InDesign CS4 upgrade from Pagemaker 7.0. I have also purchased a new computer on which I have installed it. When I run
CS4 it offers me a trial version or enter a serial number. I entered my PM7 serial number but that doesn't work. Do I need to
have PM7 installed before I install CS4 for this to all work? If so, do I now need to uninstall CS4, install PM7, reinstall CS4 and then uninstall PM7 after it all works?? When I've used an upgrade before it hasn't need the actual files to be on the PC just the serial number. Running Windows XP Professional. Adobe support didn't help at all!!

I think you may need to call customer service. There have been a number of reports of trouble installing the PM to ID upgrades, often due to odd serial numbers carried forward from earlier PM installations.
That said, I think the first time you are asked for a serial number it is probably the number of the CS4 upgrade that you need (since the other option is as a trial). Presumably you have that number becasue you paid for the license. After that I would expect the installer to look for PM or ask for the disk or serial number. Having the PM disk will probably help.

Reinstalling CS4 Suite - License Issue?

Just a quick question as I just want to be safe. Will be upgrading a user to Windows 7 from XP and they currently have the Adobe Create Suite 4 on XP. Do I need to uninstall the suite and salvage the license before upgrading to Windows 7?
Basically what it comes down to is that cannot do a direct upgrade from XP to 7 and will need to reinstall CS4 and reuse the license, will this cause a problem or will I have to uninstall from XP and salvage the license?

Thank you very much! Just what I was looking for.

How to install cs4 when on OS10.8.4

I have the original CS suites for the Mac, and have upgraded to CS4 on that system. I had to reinstall the OS and all applications but cannot get Adobe to accept the old serial number from the first version of CS, not can I install the original version of CS on on 10.8.4.; and I can't get the trial version to accept the old serial number.
How would one get CS and the CS4 upgrade installed when the original is not on the drive, by the way Adobe can't match the serial number?

Ok Dayton I would first verify your serial number is valid by verifying it is registered under your account. Please see http://forums.adobe.com/message/3987968#3987968?promoid=KBHJW for information on how to locate your serial number under your account.
Once you have verified the serial number is valid then please try adjusting the file permissions for Library/Applications/Adobe folder. You can find details on how to adjust the file permissions at Error "Exit 6" or "Exit 7" | Install log | Read, write, system file errors | CS5, CS5.5 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-exit-6-exit-7.html.
Finally if you are still receiving the error that the serial number is invalid. Then please remove all installed Adobe applications and then remove the Library/Application Support/Adobe folder.
It is possible that file permissions on the Adobe folder could be causing you to receive an invalid serial number error.

Cannot install Photoshop CS4 upgrade

Whenever I click on Setup.exe, the hourglass shows for a moment and then nothing at all happens! I have tried everything I know: making a New Admin account, disabling Services and Startups via msconfig, doing a thorough virus check (nothing found), etc. I have tried to first uninstall CS3 but, surprisingly, it will not uninstall via Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel: after clicking Change/Remove, nothing happens. I spent considerable time with a support person at Adobe but to no avail.
I should add that I install and uninstall programs frequently, and I have never before had any such problems with other Adobe products such as Lightroom or previous versions of Photoshop. There is nothing exotic about my system: Windows XP, dual monitors (I tried disabling one of them), 4gb RAM, 3 internal hard drives, ATI radeon graphics card.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW ANY PLAUSIBLE SOLUTIONS YOU MAY HAVE FOR THIS ISSUE. Many thanks!

Dave, thanks again for your suggestion. I ran CS3Clean Script at level 2 but no solution, so then I ran it at level 3. Still no solution and, much worse, now no Photoshop or Bridge! I backed up data files the Script program recommended, but it seems to have removed the entire CS3 program. I do have my original downloaded CS3 package, but still it will not install: clicking setup.exe is followed by a message about initializing, and then nothing. And still, my purchased CS4 upgrade will not install: as always, after clicking setup.exe, nothing happens.
Very frustrating. I do not want to reinstall Windows XP if that means I have to reinstall all my programs and re-tweak all their settings. I can call Adobe support again, but their technician was not very helpful in my previous call. If you have any further ideas, please let me know, and thanks for all your help.

Correct CS3 serial# not accepted with CS4 upgrade on MBP 10.8

Hello,
I am using original discs with serial number stickers for CS3 extended and CS4 on a 2008 MBP with 10.8.
Problem1:
While still having CS3 installed, and reinstalling CS4, the correct serial # request of pre upgrade version CS3 was repeatedly rejected.
So I removed everything Adobe from HD, ran Adobe cleaner which found nothing.
Problem2:
Now I am unable to install CS3 as I get "problem with installation, contact Adobe" message...
I manually removed everything Adobe related from HD to no avail.
Who has the know how to solve this conundrum?
Thank you for your help,
Cordially, Arjen

Just a possible idea of what might be going on...
Don't I recall that with 10.8 you now can ONLY run 64 bit code? Apple is pretty ruthless about leaving older versions of things behind without support.
Is it possible Adobe had 32 bit code somewhere in the installers for older versions, designed to work on Macs running OSs that ran both 32 and 64 bit code? Have you seen anyone able to install a version of Photoshop older than CS6 on Mountain Lion?

I own CS4, upgraded to CS5, then joined CS6, CC... and now I installed CC14. Which will be the best way to delete or uninstall the programs I don't need keeping only CC14 without running into issues? I have an Alienware Area 51 PC running Windows 7.

There is none. Whatever you do to get rid of the older versions will inevitably do damage to shared components and other stuff of the new versions as well. That's just how it is with this approach... Uninstall the older versions, run the cleaner tool then reinstall CC 2014.

Removing CS3 application folders after installing CS4 upgrade

I just upgraded to CS4 on my Mac and wanted to know if it's safe to remove CS3 folders that appear in the "Applications" folder. I won't need multiple versions of the software taking up space on my system, so is it safe to just toss the folders in the Trash?

It would be wise to keep CS3 until you are familiar with CS4. If you uninstall CS3 then run into a problem with the new way things work in CS4, you will need to uninstall CS4 to reinstall CS3 then reinstall CS4.

Trying to reinstall CS4 and I've lost CS3 activation key

I bought CS3 years ago, upgraded to CS4. I'm trying to reinstall CS4 and it's asking for the CS3 activation key. I've lost the CS3 key. Is there any way to recover it?
Thanks

Hi houyhnhnm2,
You need to contact Customer Service ( http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html ) and they would be able to help you find the serial number if you have registered it.
Else they will help you unlock the serial key after validating.
You can even reach our chat support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6

Reinstall CS4 product

My working place need to change new mac pro and reinstall cs4 product which is upgraded from cs3.3 via free upgrade campaign in 2008. but I can find registered cs3.3 licence key in past record only. If I reinstall cs4 which downloaded from online resources, what should I do?

You will need to find the serial number for the older version in order to install. If you registered the software when you originally installed it then your serial number should be available thru your Adobe account online.
Find your serial number quickly
If you remain unable to obtain it then you will need to see if you can gain the assistance of Adobe Support directly using chat.
For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...
