Unable to open photoshop CS4 on my mac, the message "application components are missing" appears
I had a recent virus, which im lead to belive has deleted some application components from the application directory.
I no longer have the disk to re-install the application, as this was given to me as a gift.
How am i able to re-cover my Adobe photoshop CS4?
If the giver of the gift didn’t give you their serial number, then they didn’t give you CS4 permanently.
You can try running the BelArc Security Advisor which will ferret out serial numbers of various products, but if the computer has been cleaned sufficiently, the information may no longer be on the computer for BelArc to find:

I was getting an error on my iMac computer when trying to open up CS4. I deleted the files and reinstalled 3 times and still getting error and unable to upload file. Please help. I have done the steps that the customer care site told me to, but still errors!
If you deleted files it is not a good thing. You need to uninstall, run the adobe script cleaner, then reinstall.

Solutions I have used include:
- replacing System Color Profile library by creating a different folder on desktop...
- replacing Backup Key for Adobe CS4

PLEASE HELP! I have assignment Due Tomorrow & Can't Access Software I PAYED Big $$$$ FOR!
Phone support won't help w/o paying a fee???You've done something to your system, or it's possibly gotten a malware infection.
You can't even reinstall Photoshop? Have you tried completely removing it, including running the Creative Suite Removal script?
How recently did it work? Have you tried System Restore?

Open in Photoshop CS5 errors with "Some of the application Components are Missing...
After doing a migration from one mac to another mac with the Migration Assistant, when I try to edit a lightroom file with the Open In CS5 I get a dialog that comes up "Some of the application Components are Missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application.
Well I have reinstalled photoshop, actually uninstalled it first, the reinstalled twice...once with "keep preferences" and once without. I have also run the Adobe Upgrader and everything is up to date. Lightroom is up to date.
Any ideas??Since you can open a photo in CS5 when selecting <Open anyway>, I would also think that this is a problem of Lr.
When you select <Render using Lightroom> Lr creates the PSD (or TIFF) and sends it to CS5.
So it seems that this part of Lr that is creating a PSD (or TIFF) from your Raw image is missing / broken.
Most probably something got left behind when you used the Migration Assistant.
I would suggest this: Download from Adobe's website the trial version of Lr 4.3. The trial version is a full version with all features enabled, but it runs only for 30 days.
Each time you open the trial version you get the option <I want to buy>. Select this option and enter your serial number. This will unlock the trial version for unlimited use.
Maybe it would be good to un-install your current Lr before re-installing the downloaded file to ensure that you do a "clean" re-installation. -
Just updated my iMac to OS X Yosemite and my Photoshop will no longer open. Pop up message informing, Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application. I have the pay monthly package and don't know where to start.
Do as it says: Reinstall the program. Run the cleaner tool and let CC app do the magic.

Why does message say application components are missing when trying to open Photoshop?
why does message say application components are missing when trying to open Photoshop?
The probable causes are:
A bad, or incomplete install
Inability of the program to access the location of those components
Deleted files, that are required for those components
What is the exact text of the error message?
Good luck,

CS Bridge when opening file shows " Some Application Components are missing from Application Directory- Reinstall". Uninstalled with uninstaller, reinstalled from disc. Message continues only in Bridge not in PS. Please help.
What version of Bridge and Photoshop and what platform? Mac or Windows? I can point you to a downloadable installer.
If the cdrom was damaged, it may be the problem.
You would uninstall and use the CC/CS Cleaner to remove any remnants before reinstalling.

PS CS4 64-bit (in Web Premium CS4) on Win 7 PC. I did a duplicate file check on my hdd and deleted dup files. Now when I try to run PS 64-bit I get "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application." When I do this, it seems to install correctly until the very end, then it says "Installation Complete With Errors", and when I try to run I get the same 'component missing message'. What can I do? PS 32 bit runs fine. Some of the other applications ib Web Premium say the shortcut has been changed or removed. I appreciate your help...Thank you
Best advice I can think of is to uninstall and run the Clean Script from here.

I had photoshop installed fine. We had to replace our hard drive, but had a full backup and everything else is working except for elements. This is the message I get -Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application. I have reinstalled, but am getting the same message.
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

When I tried to open Photoshop cs4, error message 148:3 comes on .I am unable to open photoshop cs4
What can I do
Hi there,
I'm very sorry you're having issues opening Photoshop. There is a special help page just for this error here. Additionally, there is an older thread where a user found the Licensing Repair Tool (located here) to fix this issue. Give it a try! I hope this helps. -
Is this a false message, or is there an update available? If so How do I update my version?
Hi,
It is not a false message, those updates are available. (I have overlaid the camera raw info here)
If you load the editor, when you get told about the updates, and you click on Update, it may take a moment to get going.
If you are on a Windows system, you may find that there is a User Access Control request icon flashing on your taskbar. I'm not sure about MAC systems.
