Will adobe illustrator cs4 work on a macbook retina?

i'm considering buying the macbook pro with retina display. but will my main application, adobe illustrator CS4, display correctly on the machine? does anybody have experience with this? i'd be very thankful for you replies.
best,

The question is really will CS4 work with the Mac OS X 10.7 operating system. As long CS4 is compatible with Lion it should work on the new systems.

Will Adobe CS3+CS4 work in OS above 10.6.8 ?

   I want to continue using CS3+CS4, mainly Dreamweaver CS3 and Fireworks CS4, plus some Photoshop & Acrobat Pro in CS4. All ran well on my mid-2007 Macbook Pro (MA896LL) with OS 10.6.8. But this MBP failed recently, due to heat, and for my next Mac(s) two options are a 2010 Macbook (MC516LL) that can run OS 10.6, or a 2012 Mac Mini with i5 (MD387LL) that will not run OS 10.6 but does offer other benefits. (of course, running an OS higher than 10.6 also offers benefits!)
   Will Dreamweaver-CS3 and Fireworks-CS4 run properly in all ways, with higher OS, with 10.7 or 8, 9, 10?
   Does the kind of computer make a difference for this? For example, would these programs behave differently in OS 10.9 on the 2010-Macbook or 2012-Mini? (probably not, I assume)
   These questions are important in deciding what to buy, but... now, because I don't have a Mac, I cannot do experiments (try the two programs with each OS) to see what happens. So I'm hoping you can help (thanks in advance!) by sharing your experience and knowledge.
   FWIW, the Mac programs in CS3 and CS4 are 32 bit, if that makes any difference in OS-compatibility.

Yesterday the Macbook arrived (made in 2008, so it runs 10.6.8), and two installs (CS3, CS4) were successful. For the next set of installations,* if Adobe requires a de-activation would the following plan work?
____My conclusion, after writing the paragraphs below, is "probably not" because (if Adobe doesn't check to see what computer CS is activated on) accepting this kind of de-activation would make it easy for someone to fake a de-activation by cloning the hard disk of a still-working computer, de-activating CS3/4 on that cloned disk-image, then continue using CS3/4 on the still-working computer and also (because they have fooled Adobe into thinking it's not active) an extra computer, using only one of the two activations. So this probably isn't allowed by Adobe. If necessary, probably I'll just have to contact Adobe, with the repairman to confirm the failure of my Macbook Pro with one of the CS3/4 installations.
____Well, here was the idea:
____My recently failed Macbook Pro had CS3 and CS4 installed. The repairman recovered the entire hard drive (200 GB) and put it onto an external hard drive (4000 GB) as individual files and also as a cloned disk-image. To de-activate, could I re-start the new computer in the old 10.6.8 (with "Startup Disk" in System Preferences) using this disk image, open Dreamweaver-CS3 (then deactivate) and Fireworks-CS4 (then deactivate)? Would the CS3 and CS4 on this disk-image be recognized by Adobe as being "one of my previous installs" that therefore would not count as being active, after they're deactivated?
____How to do this? I don't know much about clones. To get the old CS3/CS4 "recognized by Adobe" would this require putting the cloned "old Macbook Pro" into its own partition of a hard disk? Or could I just start from the individual files of the un-cloned OS? (In "System Startup" today, on another external hard disk I saw an OS 10.6.3 from a backup many years ago. I could choose it and re-start in 10.6.3, but... my question is about how to re-start so Adobe recognizes the old CS3/CS4 as a "previous activation on the old Macbook.") Or maybe I could connect the hard disk with this cloned "old Macbook Pro" to my old half-working iMac, and de-activate CS3/4 from the iMac.
___ * The 2012 Mac Mini should arrive today, but I won't try CS3/CS4 on it (to see if it will install, and will run OK on 10.9.5) until later. After doing the experiments, I'll report back about the results.

Adobe Illustrator CS4 - Shortcut keys not working

The short cut keys on my adobe illustrator cs4 programme have stopped working. I am working on a Mac OSX 10.9.2 . Can anyone help? I have tried reinstalling but it hasn't helped. I recently installed a wacom device would this have anything to do with it?Adobe CS4

Have you installed the newest Wacom driver?

The preferences file is corrupt: adobe illustrator cs4

greetings!
every time i start illustrator i encounter a new error.
"the preferences file is corrupt and has been reset to the default settings."
"the corrupt file will be backed up as Adobe illustrator Prefs.err"
this problem manifested after i added some more .ai and .ase files to my swatches directory. i do not believe anything else changed.
not sure how to diagnose the problem. is there a debug mode or something? perhaps an offending file.
an option would be to try remove each added swatch file or folder individually, but this would e a very very time consuming process for me.
i use cs4 on a Macbook pro running Snow Leopard - 10.6.2 and would appreciate your advice.
thank you

The problem is that you're not getting rid of the corrupt Illustrator preferences. To do that, go to User/Library/Preferences and drag the entire Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings folder to the trash (or to another drive if you want to keep it for some reason). Illustrator will then create a new Preferences folder the next time it's started. It's unlikely the problem was caused by swatches files, but if the error comes back after deleting prefs, then you'll need to determine which swatch file is causing it.

Cannot reinstall Adobe Illustrator CS4

Hello!
2007, I have bought Adobe Illustrator CS4 from your website.
I used it few months and then I put it aside. First, the cd kept asking for a serial number and the one I still had since 2007, did not work. One must buy a new serial number, i have heard. How is that even possible or fair in any way? SO THE 170 Euros were payed for a time-limited product? Is this milk!?
Anyhow, now the cd doesn't even "run". It keeps showing that "the Installer database is corrupt", after have clicked "run" and then "install".
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely R.A.A

Whatever you heard regarding having to buy a new serial number is false information - your license remains valid as long as you paid for it yourself. If your disc is not loading properly you can download the installation thru the page linked below.

Adobe Illustrator CS4 Low resolution

Hey all,
When I launch adobe illustrator cs4 it opens in a very low resolution.
I'm running Adobe Illustrator CS4 it on my Lenovo Y510P, Windows 8 (64bit), screen resolution set to 1920x1080
Running Photoshop CS4 on the contrary opens in full hd resolution.
I was unable to find a working solution on the web, all solutions i found were not relevant in CS4.
I would very much appreciate your help.
Screenshots:
Photoshop is sharp and HD, Illustrator is blurred and low resolution

I see no difference in sharpness/crispness between the screenshots.
Actually there is. It's not really loss of resolution, but rather some sort of secondary antialiasing. This would normally happen with specific color management settings or application specific graphics card profiles that are unsuitable. I'd look into that.

Importing Microstation SE DGN files into Adobe Illustrator CS4

Hello,
New to the forum and was hoping someone could help answer what is likely a very basic question: Can Adobe Illustrator CS4 import DGN files (containing point, line, text, shape, fills, cells and other complex elements) created in Microstation SE? If so, is it an easy process, and what if any data is lost during the conversion? Is the original projection and master units/sub units maintained? I am not familiar with any version of Illustrator, so please be kind (lol). Tks for any help!

If you intend to zoom in or pan on your graphic, you might make it say, twice the size of your FCP sequence's pixel dimensions.
If it is static, paste it into the appropriate video template at the size you require.
Illustrator and Photoshop are far better at scaling when compared to Final Cut Pro.
The pixelization is probably because that section of the Timeline needs to be rendered.
This indicated by a colored bar at the top of the Timeline. A green bar indicates that you can view that area but it will not be at full quality until rendered.
Make sure all render options are checked on:
Consider also: your image is rendered to the pixel dimensions of the FCP sequence and the Canvas always shows a lower res proxy image to better enable real time playback. To view the output of Final Cut Pro as it really is, you need an external calibrated monitor or at the very least, an excellent TV.

Will Adobe Illustrator CS3 version 13.0.0 run on Yosemite?

Will Adobe Illustrator CS3, version 13.0.0 run on Yosemite?
Will Photoshop Elements 10.0 run on Yosemite?

>Still no new solution that actually works... No additional information available either.
There is... Reinstall your OS, reinstall the Creative Suite (Or Illustrator alone) then apply the updates. This will eliminate the problem with your OS that is preventing the updates from proceeding.
This method works 100% of the time. Granted, most users want an easier answer.

Can't import Adobe Illustrator CS4 .ai files

I recently upgraded to Adobe Illustrator CS4. When I attempt to paste an .ai file into iWeb I see only a black rectangle. This was not the case with CS3 AI. It seems that I must now first convert the AI CS4 file into a .pdf or .eps before importing to iWeb. Also, QuickLook does not display either CS3 or CS4 versions of AI.
Have others encountered these behaviors?

Are you referring to a Photoshop file with an alpha layer? iWeb and iPhoto do not support those. Nor does several other Apple applications like Preview, Quicklook, etc. Send a feature request to Apple via:

Problem with reinstalling Adobe Illustrator CS4 on new pc

Using a new PC with Windows 7. Upon reinstalling and inputting serial number, prompt appears..."We looked inthe default locations for qualifying products installed on this machine but none found. You may verify upgrade eligibility now by completing fields to the right." Choices given do not include Adobe Illustrator CS4. What next? I appreciate the help.

I have a disc in the same box that says CS3. I thought that was an older version. Should I try installing that disc first? It seems to have a different serial number. Thanks so much for your help. I appreciate it.

It is looking for the qualifying product which entitles you to use the Illustrator CS4 update. Did you have an older version of Illustrator which upgraded from?
