Reinstalling CS4 Web Premium on Mac after having to reinstall complete backup

I just had my macbook pro's hard drive wiped clean, had Yosemite reinstalled and then i installed my latest full back up. I didn't realize I had to mess w/ my CS, so adobe sent me a link to download CS4 Web Premium. I uninstalled (as directed) and I've downloaded the file (called ADBESTWDCS4_LS1.dmg) and on my desktop I have a folder called CS4 Web Premium Disc 1. When I open that there are 3 read me links and and icon for CS4 Web Premium. When I open that there four folders, an icon that says setup (that I can't open) and 'bootstrapper.dmg'. Adobe's documentation for installing says to double click the dmg file and follow the instructions. There are no steps provided when I double click on either of the aforementioned .dmg files.
The read me file says Mac OSX v10.4 - 10.5.4, but I'm on 10.10.2. I was running the Creative Suite programs just fine on this.
Sorry if I'm missing the obvious?
Thanks for your help, so behind on work!

Well, when I double click it, it just does what I listed above. It's on my desktop and in the Applications folder. Looks like this. When I open this top folder, then I get more options, including the bootstrapper.dmg. Double clicking boostrapper.dmg opens another folder...it's got a file called Setup (has an Ri on the icon). If i change my preferences, I can open, but I haven't seen anywhere that says "open setup". guess i'm confused as this is way more work than any other program i've installed. Again, I'm not "double clicking and follow the instructions that are on screen" that Adobe docs mentioned.

  • Need to Download Official Adobe CS4 Web Premium

    This link does't work.  http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
    That link sends you to Acrobat and the download app will not allow to download Web Premium CS4.
    Anyone know where I can get CS4 so I can finish my project.  I am in a remote location and the disks are at home.
    I need to reinstall CS4 Web Premium.
    I have tried the link and it will not work.  I followed the instructions and another member here followed the instructions and it will not work.  We are not novices to the internet or the idea of downloading a simple file or two.
    Adobe does a great job at taking your money.  Ask them for a download and they do mind jerks and twitch and beg for money.  I paid for the software, I should be allowed to at least get it downloaded.

    The link works fine. I just tried it.
    That link sends you to Acrobat and the download app will not allow to download Web Premium CS4.
    You don't download the software from there.
    You missed Step 3 in the Instructions: Click the download button (pretending you want to download Acrobat) then immediately cancel the download box which appears.
    THEN go back to prodesigntools.com and click the link to download Web Premium CS4

    after having played back a backup on a Mac under OSX 10.7 containing CS4 following error massage occured when trying to start PS:
    eroor 150:30
    seems to be related with registration

    By courtesy of R_Kelly:
    The 150:30 error means licensing broke.
    Two ways to fix this: If you are used to the Terminal app, you download the license recovery package and following instructions carefully, you use the python script in the package.  Error "Licensing has stopped working"  | Mac OS
    If for some reason it doesn't, reinstall CS4 from your discs, or download the CS4 installer here.

  • Right proceedure for reinstalling  Dreamweaver (CS4 Web Premium)

    I may have to reinstall my Win 7 Pro system due to a number of little quirks that are popping up.  Same PC ...same HDD etc.  I do have an image backup...but not from as early as I would like to go.  Thinking a clean install would be best.
    What is the best way to do this so I don't lose/or invalidate my current activation of Web Premium CS4 ?
    Thanks much...TR

    Thanks John...just to be clear...should one "deactivate all CS4 programs in the suite or will deactivating 1 deactivate all installed CS4 Web Premium apps ?

  • CS4 Web Premium (Dreamweaver mostly) PC or Mac

    Hi
    I am looking to purchase CS4 web premium (dreamweaver, fireworks, photoshop, illustrator etc..)
    I currently own a windows vista laptop with a 14" screen, so I am wanting to purchase a new machine with a bigger 22"+ screen.  My question is should I go for a pc or a mac.  Which is best for running the software?
    I am using the software to design my own web sites only, so not for other commercial work.  I am looking at static sites and eventually database driven sites. Mac or Pc which is best for me.  Thanks

    Any of them will do. If it's just for your personal needs - go cheap and buy a PC. Better bang for the buck. You can find some decent mini/ micro PCs that should be sufficient for web design, occasional Photoshopping and even games and generally have a wider choice of options. The only alternative to this on the Mac side would be a Mac mini or an iMac, but iMac screens are rubbish and the cost of a Mac mini plus an eye-friendly LCD screen is still higher than a comparable PC+screen. Of course, the bigger the budget you have, the less critical this becomes...

  • I have CS4 Web Premium and I am what to know if there are issues in this pack in Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite) operation system?

    I am trying to get support in CS4 Web Premium, but I could get any support from Adobe (there is no phone, e-mail or chat for this problem). And the support page is a loop to go nowhere.
    I hope I will find my answer here, hopefully. Otherwise is better to star looking for answers in other places than in Adobe.
    Thanks anyway.

    Thanks for your time and your reply.
    And I do understand what you are saying, but client support can be as simple as the ability to send a direct e-mail and receive a diret answer, even if is it "Is not possible".
    From my own experience, small software companies can do it, and even open source software companies do it, with much less resources (probably they have a big will in provide a good service).
    And for a big company can be as simples as 1-2 days testing, for main tasks and give some feedback to many, many users.
    Unfortunately, some big companies like Adobe just don't care. Unfortunately. So I will start looking to companies o actually care.
    But anyway, that's my decision.
    Thanks once again, I will see, somewhere else.
    Cheers

  • Problems reinstalling CS3 Web Premium

    I have been having problems with Dreamweaver CS3, it has been freezing on me when I go to save something. Anyway I thought if I reinstall Dreamweaver, the problem would go away. When I go to reinstall Dreamweaver, it says to insert the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium DVD, when I already inserted that. Why is it saying that and how can I go pass that message? I am going to purchase CS4 web premium upgrade, but that will not be for a while.

    Thanks for a prompt reply Bob...
    I haven't got that far - when I try to install CS3 on my iMac the installation aborts and I'm getting a message that's saying I've installed the software too many times and to get in touch with Adobe...
    I currently have the CS3 suite on my MacBook only and cannot deactivate it due to not having my correct administrator name/PW...
    (I also have older versions of Dreamweaver and Fireworks on another older G5 Mac that is on my network - but I don't think that is contributing to the problem)

  • Flash will not install from CS4 Web Premium on XP

    I installed CS4 Web Premium a while back and, since I do not do a lot of Flash development, I didn't realize right off that Flash CS4 did not install. However, I just tried to go back and install it from the DVD and it shows in the list but the box in front of it is uncheckable. The heading at the top says to check the boxes to install or reinstall the applications. Other programs such as Dreamweaver, Contribute, Acrobat, Illustrator, Photoshop, etc. can be checked but the box in front of Flash (and Soundbooth, etc.) are unresponsive. I do still have CS3 Web Premium on this machine which has Flash CS3 Professional and Flash CS3 Video Encoder as well as also still having Studio 8 and CS 2 with Flash 8 and Flash 8 Video encoder and InDesign CS2 & CS3, Visual Communicator, VlogIt, etc.. Do I need to remove any of those first? This machine is about 3 years old (Dell Optiplex GX620) running Win XP. I'm about to upgrade to a new machine in about a month that will be running Windows 7. So I will be doing a clean install of CS4 Web Premium then. But it would be nice to fix this so I can work on some Flash files before then. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi, I'm assuming you are using the Manual Install. Did you already Uninstall any current Flash Player version?
    If not, download and SAVE to your Desktop the Uninstaller:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    Then download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
      Use the EXE Installer for Windows and Internet Explorer. Use the EXE Installer for the plugin based browsers
    Then use the Administrator Account and CLOSE all browser Windows. Disable any instant messenger service from the system tray.
    Run the Uninstaller and reboot(restart) your computer.
    Then Run the Installer and reboot.
    That message appears because the IE browser window is open.
    Thanks,

  • No Acrobat Pro 9 in CS4 Web Premium?

    I purchased an upgrade from Studio 8 to CS4 Web Premium via the Adobe Store and downloaded all of the files listed on the download page. When I was done running all of the install programs, which included some add-on fonts and other stuff, I could not find Acrobat Pro 9. After reviewing all of the documentation and searching the KB and forums, I initiated a chat but the agent claimed that he couldn't access those records and told me to call the 800 number. I called but after listening to crummy music for 15 minutes, I hung up. Next, I submitted a Customer Service ticket. The ticket has sat there for 3 days with no response. I've posted a comment each day voicing my frustration, to no avail. Not getting any help, I downloaded Acrobat Pro 9 Pro Trial Edition and installed it, only to find out that my serial number didn't work on that installation of Acrobat Pro. Today I called the 800 number again and got through to a human. Maybe it was a language barrier but I had to repeat everything 3 times and then she would tell me to do something that I just told her I had already done. Finally I was transferred to someone I could understand and who could understand me. I also learned that no Acrobat Pro 9 install except the one with the suite would work so I removed Acrobat 9 Pro Trial Edition. Finally, after many questions and checking everything we could think of, he suggested trying the installer again to see if Acrobat 9 Pro was listed as one of the programs in the suite but just didn't get installed. I found no Acrobat 9 Pro on the list of available software listed on the installer screen. I have updated that second ticket which was started by the final person I spoke to and I sit here waiting. I want my software and want someone to tell me how to obtain the product I paid for! With so many companies finally taking an interest in customer service and support, Adobe sure doesn't seem to be following that trend. This is one of the worst support experiences that I have had for a long time. Granted, I only interact with support systems occasionally but even so... I love the note saying the "We would love to hear from you" but the only method to contact them is by phone. How many people are going to wait for such a long time just to tell someone that they provide poor customer service?

    Why don't you call support again and ask if you can have a copy of the discs with your serial number? I don't know if there is a small fee but I prefer to have discs than a download. Then you can try reinstalling.

  • CS4 Web Premium & Snow Leopard?

    I'm a brand new mac user and just ordered CS4 Web Premium to learn web & graphic design.  I currently have OS X 10.5.8 on my late-2008 MacBook Pro, and was wondering if I should install the upgrade to Snow Leopard before or after I install CS4 WP, on not upgrade to SL at all?  I've read mixed reviews on different sites about compatibility issues.  I'm in no rush to upgrade to SL, unless somebody here suggests that it's a good idea to do so.

    In case anybody else stumbles across this thread like I did. I did eventually solve the problem. The tech support guy at Adobe was useless, even though I told him that I had re-installed twice and once re-installed Snow Leopard, he had me run the Adobe Cleaning Utility thing. Two hours of re-installing (for the third time) and another 700MB of updates (from my precious download quota) and I was exactly back to where I started.
    Then when the updates for Version Cue and Adobe Drive failed to work it got me to thinking. Looking at the box it states that Java is needed for Version Cue Server. That being a unique requirement and the update for that particular program failing, sent me on the search. I eventually found the directory containing Version Cue Server and moved it. I next planned to restart but I didn't have to---the instant I moved the directory my CPU usage plummeted from 60% to 1%.
    I've been working on this for days and all I had to do was issue the command.
    mv /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Adobe\ Version\ Cue\ CS4/Server ~/Disabled
    *sigh*

  • Cannot install CS4 Web Premium

    I am having problem in installation CS4 Web Premium in my Windows Vista x64 Ultimate. I will get Internet Explorer SCript Error:
    An error has occurred in the script on this page
    Line: 2
    Char: 1
    Error: Invalid character
    Code: 0
    URL: file://C:/Users/xxxxx/AppData/Local/Temp/ahmbedAlter.html
    Do you want to continue running scripts on this page? Yes/No
    I can't do anything once this happened. Tried to Yes or No will not help. After clicking many times, a dialog box will come up for follow up action (like to quit?) but there is no OK or Cancal or whatever button. I have to use Task Manager to kill the installation program.
    I have tried to search for installation script error but none seems to be the same as mine. I appreciate your help.
    Thank you.

    Please contact Adobe Technical Support for installation issues. There is no charge for resolution of installation issues for current products.

  • Install demo of CS4 Web Premium-Photoshop Installs 64 bit and x86 versions but 64 bit does not work

    Just installed the CS4 Web Premium demo onto a brand new 64 bit i7 processor with Windows Seven Home Premium machine with 9gb memory. The install seems to be fine except it installed a 64 bit version as well as x86 version into different folders. The x86 version works fine but the 64 bit version does not.
    Every time I try to open a file using "Open With' I get the following message "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application."
    First of all why does it install both versions and why does it try to open everything in the 64bit version even after specifically telling it to open in the x86 version (even after setting the default file association to the x86 version.
    I would of course like to use the 64 bit veriosn but if it not going to work. I'll use the 32 bit version. I just wantto be able to right click my mouse and be able to "Open With". I can open Photoshop 32 bit and open the file that way but it is a pain to do that way.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Both are installed to allow you to use 32 bit plugins. As for the problem, you'll get far more attention in the Photoshop forum.

  • Just moved CS4 Web from old mac to new using time machine. Apps won't launch. Help?

    Just moved CS4 Web from old mac to new using time machine. I get an error when I try to launch a program on the new computer (150:30). After contacting live chat about the issue and providing all serial numbers etc. I was directed to a download. The download was a .dmg file that my computer did not recognize. It was suggested that I ask the experts on the forum how to resolve the issue. I have all the discs and serial numbers but the new macbook pro doesn't take discs (I guess they think all apps are downloadable now). Any ideas?

    Hmm... I don't know why they sent you here... CS4 is not part of the Cloud
    I have some download links for earlier versions of Premiere Pro and Premiere Elements, but not CS4 Web
    My best idea is to take a LARGE USB memory stick to a friend with a DVD drive and copy your DVD over to the USB memory stick
    Or, ask in the forum for your program(s) to find out if anyone has CS4 download links
    If you start at the Forums Index https://forums.adobe.com/welcome
