Trouble installing CS4 onto Intel Mac

Good day to all, I have a problem.
I have an Intel Imac with OD 10.4.11 and am unable to install CS4 Design Premium. I have all external devices unpluged. The progress bar only gets this far (please see below) and then stops moving for hours. Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks for the info. Previous attempts were all done w/o any apps running, and then in safe boot config just to waste some more time. Here's the log entry:

The minimum system requirements listed below are recommended in order to run Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium properly and are not met:
- 1.0 GB of RAM or more
It is recommended that you upgrade or adjust your system to meet these minimum requirements and then restart the installer.

  • Problem installing CS4 onto new Mac OS X

    Can someone please help me?!
    I have just tried to install my Photoshop CS4 Extended onto my brand spankin' new Mac computer and when I tried to open the application this message comes up:
    "You can't open the application 'Adobe Photoshop SC4' because it is not supported on this architecture". What exactly does this mean?
    I have the latest IMac so I don't see why this would be a problem.

    Hi Cherry!
    Usually this happens, when Photoshop CS4 was not successfully installed.
    Reinstall it.
    If the option to install Photoshop CS4 is not available, de-install it first. Either use the installer or manually remove the Adobe Photoshop CS4 folder.
    Cheers,

  • Trouble installing CS2 onto new Mac Air

    Just bought a brand new Mac Book Air and a USB super drive. When I try to install my Photoshop CS2 (a true, purchased version, with serial number, not bootleg or anything) I'm getting a message that says Install Error. Not sure why it won't work. Any advice?

    I tried. Didn't work. Still telling me that it cannot do it because the PPC is no longer compatible with Maverick OS. I have literally been sitting here in tears for the past six hours trying to find a solution. I am so so so sad and frustrated and of course can't talk to a real person from Adobe. I CANNOT afford to go drop another $1,500-$3,000 on Photoshop and am NOT interested in doing the Creative Cloud. I feel sad and stuck. Have been a devoted Adobe Photoshop user for 15 years now and have learned as much as I can about the programs, so it makes me physically ill to think about switching to something else. But I just can't seem to find a solution. I had NO idea this would be a problem. You'd think when you pay $800+ (what I paid for original program) that you'd be able to always use it. I'm so sick over this and now feel like this new laptop is worthless to me (I'm a photographer). So sad your fix didn't work... had my fingers crossed for the whole hour and a half it took to download! Thank you for trying. (I had never worried about updating because my program worked flawlessly so I never felt the need to change it... until my laptop died and I was forced into this newest OS. Now I'm SCREWED.)

  • Trouble installing CS6 on my mac

    Im having trouble installing CS6 onto my mac. I have tried each way a few times and it isnt downloading, it might get to half way and then it stops. Any ideas?

    What Mac? What version of OSX? What are the specific errors. And clarify whether you actualyl alrteady have successfully downloaded and get stuck on installing or if it's the otehr way around. That false intermingling of terminology is really not helping.

  • Trouble installing CS4 in Windows 7 64-bit

    Has anybody else had trouble installing CS4 into Windows 7 Pro 64-bit?  I had this suite installed in XP (32-bit) and it worked just fine, but it will not install on my new computer.  The first time I tried, it got partway in (past the serial number), and then everything locked up.  I had to restart the machine twice just to make it let go of the CD! 
    Someone on a forum suggested  copying the disks to the hard drive and installing from there, but this did not work any better, the installation simply fails immediately, and I get an error code 1605.  I tried it with the firewall off, and with anti-virus disabled, and I never leave User Account Control enabled.  What is going on?

    Provide the install logs and exact system information:

  • I've installed Firefox onto my Mac (recently purchased) and I can't get the disc to eject. Help?

    I've just installed Firefox onto my Mac and I'm finding that I can't eject the disk from my desktop. I've moved Firefox into the Applications and tried going to "File" and ejecting from there, but I get the message that "Firefox couldn't eject because Firefox was using it."
    I have also tried shutting down everything, replacing Firefox in the applications and clicking on the icon with a white circle and cross, but I get the message "A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time."
    I'm basically stuck. Any help would be appreciated, please.

    What does "the registration won't let me" mean? If the serial number is rejected, contact support by web chat. for anything else you need to provide proper technical information and actually explain your issue.

  • Trouble installing photoshop on new mac tower

    I am trying to install photoshop CS2 onto a new Mac Tower (3.33 GHz, 6 core, intel xeon) running OSX Lion from the original install disc so that I can install my upgrade to CS4 before purchasing the upgrade to CS6.  I keep getting a message saying power computer no longer supported.  Does this mean that I can no longer upgrade from my original versions of photoshop?  Is there a way that I can install my original disc with this operating system?  Do I have to go back to an earlier version of OSX to achieve this?
    Thank you in advance to anyone with some answers.

    You will no longer be able to install CS2 on your computer.  You are welcome to install CS4 and then enter the CS2 serial number when prompted to enter a qualifying serial number.  You can do the same thing with CS6 only this time you would use your CS4 serial number.

  • Can't install CS4 on my Mac

    Hi,
    I couldn't find the arrowheads under Effects/Stylize. They just aren't there here on my Mac. So, in the pay-for forum, a guy from Adobe suggested I remove the preferences file, yada, yada, yada. Did that. It did nothing. So, for the past two days I've been trying to just re-install CS4. Granted, I go to work and stuff. And I go to bed at night. But, I basically leave it for long periods while it installs. And, now, three times, it's said that the install failed, right at the end. I've uninstalled it cleanly twice. And, yes, I've run the "cs4 cleanup" script thing. It didn't even run, because it said that there was no evidence of CS4 even being on my Mac. Can anyone help? At my work we paid a fortune for an annual support contract with Adobe, but, it's turned out, this year, to be useless. I won't do it again.
    Thanks,
    Peter

  • Installing AppleWorks on Intel Mac

    I am about to buy a MacBook. As a teacher with older Macs in my classroom, I still use AppleWorks. However, as I recall the disk I use to install AppleWorks is an OS 9 program that I then update using the 6.2.9 updater to run under OS X. Since the Intel Macs don't support Classic, is there a way I will be able to install AppleWorks?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Whether or not the installer you have will run in OS X depends on when it was made. The installers for AppleWorks 6.2 or higher, after mid-2001 or so, are OS X installers. Otherwise, copy the whole AppleWorks 6 folder from the Applications folder from an older Mac to the Intel Mac. Burning it to a CD will give you a backup should you ever need to reinstall. Do not copy over any preferences (except the Button Bar preferences if you have customized the Button Bar) or the AppleWorks User Data folder. To keep within the Apple end user license, remove AppleWorks from the first Mac.

  • Installing Tiger on Intel Mac, do I need a special install disk?

    As in one that's specific to an Intel Mac as opposed to a PowerPC. Just trying to figure this all out.
    Thanks for the help.

    Hi there,
    Yes you do, all the Tiger Install Disks for IntelMacs are Machine specific & Gray in color, add to that, if the IntelMac came with Leopard, then you cannot install Tiger on them. There never was a Retail Tiger Disk for IntelMacs, (maybe 10.4 Server, not sure on that one).

  • After I download the program, how do I install Firefox onto my Mac?

    I want to install the latest Firefox program onto my Mac. I've never used Firefox before so it is not already in my computer. I downloaded the program onto my computer, dragged it into the apps section, put it on my doc and I can't seem to find a way to install the program. How do I get it to install? When I go to install it, all that comes up is a window that says Welcome to FireFox then there's a window inside the window that says google search. That's it, there's nowhere to go from there. HELP!! I need this program NOW!

    You on safari now? Then on downloads page right click the firefox file then sele(ct open
    This may not work)
