Why can't I re-install CS4 after new drive installed?

I had a hard drive crash. Had a new hard rive installed at computer repair store. Had any recoverable files installed on new drive. Removed any remaining CS4 files recovered. Went to re-install CS4 and it won't install.

Run the cleaner tool and try again:

Why can't I open pdf's after install of adobe reader? Should I see it in system preferences?

Why can't I open pdf's after install of adobe reader? Should I see it in system preferences?

There are can be reasons PDFs cannot be opened. For example, some forms created with Lifecycle Designer cannot be opened.
Are you sure the file is a PDF? Can you open it in Adobe Reader or Acrobat on a Mac or PC? Does it give an error message when you try to open it?

Why can't I re-install CS4?

Dear friends on the forum:
I recently purchased Abode CS4 on-line
and managed to install it OK. Just the other day, however, it crashed and wouldn't let me launch it again so I
uninstalled CS4, used Cleanscript then re-downloaded the program and re-installed it--or tried to! What I got was that little window that appears right off the bat
saying "Adobe Premiere Pro Installer: Initiallizing" with the caption below reading "Checking System Profile" All well and good. However, that thin blue line indicated progress of the process gets 90% accross then stops, never to go to the end.
Any suggestions as to what I might do about this? I have a PC running Windows XP Home Edition with an Intel Pentium 4 CPU with 2.8 GHz and 2.5 GB of RAM.
Many thanks for any and all input!
Regards, Lewis

Yes I did buy my copy of CS4 from Adobe, Bill. I didn't deactivate my copy before uninstalling, however. How does one do that? In any case, I went through this twice. The first time, I simply uninstalled CS4 by going through the control panel. Then I ran Clean Script but, of course, CS4 was already gone so I uninstalled all other CS4 applications (like Encore). I then reinstalled CS4 from the setup file that was already on my computer and it was when that problem with "Checking System Components"or however it was phrasedcame up. I tried uninstalling everything again and deleting the setup files, re-downloading it all and trying to re-re-install! Same problem.
I tried the link to kindly provided but it led me to "Unexpected Error" at the site where it was supposed to be. I will try again later. In the meantime, if you have any further suggestions in light of the above, I'd be humbly grateful.
A computer-savvy friend suggested that I purchase a new hard drive, install it on my computer along with my O/S (Windows XP) and CS4 and get the BIOS to point to that drive when it goes to boot up the computer. He said that I should dedicate this drive exclusively to my video work. Does any of this make sense?
Many thanks!
In appreciation, Lewis

Subject: Why can't I re-install CS4?
First, when you say that you bought CS4 "online," did you buy from Adobe Store?
Before you did the uninstall, did you deactivate your copy?
Here is a basic http://forums.adobe.com/thread/569663?tstart=0 that covers general installation issues with Adobe programs.
Good luck,

Why can't I access my music after updating to iOS 5?

why can't I access my music after updating to iOS 5?

Same problem here. After installing iOS 5, restoring, and syncing... when I clicked on the music icon on my iPad, none of my songs were there. All I saw was "download music from iTunes store." But, on iTunes, when I clicked on my iPad icon (then Music), it showed that all of my songs were synced!
So, this is what worked for me, I rebooted my iPad.
I turned off my iPad by holding down the sleep button for about 5 seconds, then the "Slide to power off" came up, and I powered off my iPad.
Then, I started it up again, and clicked on the music icon on my iPad, and now all of my synced music showed up.
I hope this helps some of you guys out there.

Why can I no longer install iTunes updates on my computer? I keep getting messages saying it fails, and to do it manually, but then I get popups questioning whether I have the authority to make these changes. And it never updates.

Why can't I download Premiere and After Effects CC on my laptop? I don't have the option for the Creative Cloud apllication on my menu bar as well. It launches Adobe Download Manager instead. Software like Photoshop and Illustrator CC are working fine?

If it doesn't show up your system doesn't support it. It's as easy as that. Refer to the system requirements for the applications.

Why can't I access Photoshop CS4 online help?

Why can't I access Photoshop CS4 online help?

Yes, you are right. The web-based online help is available only for the current version of Photoshop. I also discovered how to access the online help that originally came on my CS4 disk. You turn on the offline option (Windows>Extensions>Connections). With the online help from the disk and the PDFs you pointed out, I am happy. Thank you very much. (I hope I have replied to everyone correctly. I am new to this.) My thanks to everyone.

Why can't I re-install my PS Elements 11 on a new computer.

Why can't I re-install my PS Elements 11 on a new computer. It has been removed from the old machine. I have paid for a license key and would like to install it on my new HP. It tells me that the license key has expired. Why, I was unaware of obsolescence?. I am not very happy!

You need to contact Adobe directly using the link below. Use the dropdown menu for boxes (1) & (2) to scroll down the list and choose:
1. Adobe Photoshop Elements
2. Serial number issues or activating my product
3. Click on the blue button: Still need help? Contact us – then click the button marked “chat now”
It’s usually possible to start a live chat, if an Adobe agent is free, and often to get the problem fixed right away. Have your serial number available - 24 digits commencing 1057. The agent can directly troubleshoot your system if you agree to activate the Adobe Connect add-on.

Why can I download and install CS6beta but the program does not activate???

Why can I download and install CS6beta but the program refuses to be activated on the idiotic grounds that either I am not connected to the internet or my computer clock is not showing the right time? If in New Zealand we're not allowed to use the beta, why does Adobe not have the decency and courtesy of telling us so and why instead of feeding us with those stupid putoffs???

I had a note from PS Pattie ; I can't find it here. Anyhow, these were her questions and my answers:
Q:Did you download from this location? http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/photoshopcs6/
A: Yes
Q:Did you select TRY and enter your Adobe ID?
A: I was then asked to "Sign in". I pressed the sign and got the following reaction:
Please connect to the internet and retry. Either your computer is offline or the clock on your computer is set incorrectly, causing a connection error. An internet connection is required. Please connect to the internet or adjust your clock and try again. If this problem persist, please contact Customer Support. I did so and was told "This page is not available"
Q: Did you try to download again and install?
A: Yes, three times – each time 1.71GB. I tried many other devices; none worked.

Why can I download and install all of the Oracle ATS products for free?

Why can I download and install all of the Oracle ATS products for free? When I installed, I was not prompted for any licenses or to purchase anything.
I want to know why this is possible and if there are plans to charge for it in the future?

I don't know Oracle's ATS products specifically, but many of Oracle's products can be downloaded and used for free for learning purposes.
Typically, if you intend to use the products commercially then you need to pay for a licence, otherwise you are using it illegally.
This is usually described in the T&C's you agree to when you download the software.
