Will Master Collection CS4 run on OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion? [was: cs compatibility]

I am buying a new Mac and because of this I wonder, having the CS 4 Master Collection, if it's compatible with Mac OS 10.8 Mountain Lion.. or will there be any problem of any kind with the software?
If so, how can it be helped, the easiest way? I mean.. I don't really want to upgrade.

Mac OSX 10.8.x isn’t a tested OS for CS4.
Please refer for the system requirement for Master Collection CS4:
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/release-note/readme-cs4-master-collection.html#main_Min_S ys_Req
So, you can install and run the Master Collection CS4 on Mac OSX 10.8.x but we are not sure for any unexpeted problem.
Howvere, we can assist the customer to the point where it’s determined that an issue only occurs under the new OS, but not under the tested Win OSes per the CS4 system requirements.

  • Adobe Master Collection CS4 and Mac OSX 10.5.8

    hi folks,
    we have just deployed two new Mac labs with various multimedia software applications installed. We have encountered serious problems with Adobe software, which effectively makes the applications unusable. The issue seems to be replicated across many of the CS4 applications, including Photoshop, Flash, After Effects, etc. Given that many of you have labs of similar configurations, I was hoping that you may be able to assist/advise.
    Basically when a student opens an image in one of these applications that program comes to a halt trying to open the file.
    the lab configurations are as follows:
    Mac 22"
    4G RAM
    Leopard, 10.5.8
    Authentication performed using Active Directories
    User home directory issued using SMB
    Home directory size ranges from 500MB to 1.5GB (different students have different allocations).
    Network is CAT6a with 1Gb Switch
    Has anyone experienced this before?
    thanks in advance,
    Dave

    I've heard all sorts of reports that using home directories not on the local machine does not work. I do not know if it is supposed to or not. Since Adobe software isn't licensed for use on a server, it could be contributing to the problem. It is possible that it might work with specially licensed versions, but not retail versions. I think you'll have to give Adobe a call. The retail version is licensed to be install on two computers for a specific user.

  • What is the best Dell PC configuration to run Master Collection CS4

    Hi
    What is the best Dell Computer/PC configuration to run Adobe Master Collection CS4 smoothly. Also please mentione about the experiences with Dell(if possible with, Dell Australia) I am using a Dell Dimension 8400 bought in 2005 (2.8GHz, 2 GB DDR2 RAM, 1 TB HDD Capacity)
    Ur help is much appreciated. Thx
    Pushpa

    Dell does not have any sensible 'best PC configuration', not even when you go for the best they offer, which is over $ 14 K and is still lacking. But you have a power cord free. However, if you opt for redundant power supply, you need to choose a second power cable. Strange they did not include that in the option for redundant PSU's.
    Dell is only good if they offer a system that meets your requirements fully. If you need anything else than their standard configuration, better go elsewhere or build it yourself. It is pretty easy to build a system for less than the price of a Dell that outperforms it by a wide margin, because their BIOS is crippled and they charge the most extravagant prices for everything not in their standard offer.
    If money is no object, try to configure a dual W5590 system with at least 24 GB ECC RAM and at least an Areca raid controller and 8 disks in raid3. But with Dell, if at all possible, the price will be around $ 20 K US or more.

  • Adobe master collection cs4 setup.exe installation problem

    This is frustrating.
    I have 30 day trial DVD from adobe, it is Master Collection CS4 and can't install it. Double clicking on setup.exe goes nowhere, just no response at all. You can see and hear DVD working, but nothing is happening, no response. I've been searching on forums, everywhere, no solution. Tried msicuu2.exe, also tried WinCS4Cleanupscript. Even registry cleaning tools. No progress.
    It is HP Pavilion dv7, core 2 duo, 2.2GHz, 4GB ram, 320 GB Hard Drive, Windows Vista SP1 (fresh instalation).
    Also tried with all current (july 2009) microsoft updates.
    Obviously because it is a trial version I can't contact adobe support.
    It is strange, I was able to install it on my old Windows XP laptop, but I can't do it on vista.
    Strange is also that I can install separatelly 30day trials of Photoshop CS4 and After Effects CS4 from adobe.com.
    As I said, this is fresh instalation, so there was no previous adobe product installed at all.
    Please help.

    yes I expected as much.  But I wasn't getting any good answers on vista either.  I have several users who will be moving to 7 in the fall and need to see if it will work.  thanks for the response.
    Since my last post, I may have found the answer (no thanks to Adobe).  Most of us having this issue are in using fresh installs of our OS.  Since the setup is very heavy Java, I downloaded the Java Runtime from Sun and POOF I can install now.  The error above went away and the install is running.  InDesign failed, but everything else has installed so far.  One would think that if the installer is so dependant on a Java VM being in place they would check for it and either prompt the end user or if an error occurs, post that in the error message.  But I have noticed that most of my Adobe problems in the past do not have good QA or error message support.  Usually I get a generic error message and am left to hunting for some kind of answer.
    So to those who are having this issue.  Load or re-load your Java VM and try again.  That helped me.

  • Master collection CS4, how to keep "Date taken" in captured videos?

    Hello,
    I have the master collection CS4 on a Vista system, and I can easily capture from my old Canon Elura DV tapes, with a firewire cable, either using Premiere Pro, or the simple Windows capture utility.
    Now, no matter what file format I created, both AVI (big) and WMV (smaller) the files' "Date Taken" or "Date Shot" fields are blank. All Date modified/created and accessed are the date of the capture, which I do not really need, since my tapes are 8 years old... !
    Windows Photo Gallery sorts your photo and videos by date taken, but this does not seem to be possible with captured DV videos...
    Now, it seems such a simple feature to have the DV date/time stamp to be translated into the file "Date Taken" field, I am wondering how to do that.
    Is there a plugin? Is there a workflow I am missing in premiere? or AfterEffects?
    The date/time stamp is embeddded in the DV stream, and I read that a AVI capture will simply copy the DV stream to the HD, so how do I extract / see that information?
    And, really, how come such a critical information is so hard to work with? I mean, don't professional movie makers want to know precisely when video clips have been shot?
    Thank you
    regards

    Hi,
    hmm, I use SCLive to capture and the filename becomes the date taken and are numbered sequentially...as it can capture different avi files every time it sees the camera was shut off and turned back on...like those become "scenes" in a way..a new avi file.  But the date and numbers reflect what youre talking about.  I never captured using cs3 which is what I use.  SCLive is actually "better" at capturing mini dv tapes.
    As for movie making the slate gives you that info...and when you start the edit you rename the captured footage according to the slate..so the filenames reflect more readily what the stuff is...
    eg. " scene3-take3-cu " or "scene5-take2-master"...etc.

  • Does Adobe Master Collection CS4 work on Quad processors?

    I am trying to buy a new computer (laptop)and I currently own Adobe Master collections CS4 and I would like to know if anyone has installed this on a quad processor and what graphic card will work fine with it? Also what processor speed would I need on a quad processor.
    Thank you.

    neither are much of an upgrade from what you have.
    the new i5/i7 mobile are not all that.
    here are some benchnarks, while for audio they translate to video as well.
    GHz is still king for many things
    http://www.adkproaudio.com/benchmarks.cfm
    the dual core 620m pretty much beat the Q820.
    the older T9600 (same family you have with the P8700) beat them all until the hardest hitting (lower buffer harder hitting)
    only laptop upgrade thats worth it would be a laptop that has a desktop core i7 920 in it.

  • No puedo instalar Master Collection CS4

    Hola...
    Espero alguien pueda ayudarme con este problema, ya que trabajo como diseñador gráfico y la Master Collection es mi mayor herramienta.
    Hace dos semanas decidí actualizar mi sistema operativo Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bits, a Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits, termine toda la instalación sin nigún error fue una instalación limpia formateando la partición del disco duro donde tenia instalado el Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bits.
    Pero me lleve una muy mala experiencia al querer instalar la Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection CS4, he provado por todos lados, incluso hay una solución a este problema en el foro de inglés (que no logré entender al 100%) y no he podido solucionarla, he querido contactar con Adobe vía telefónica y tampoco he podido hacerlo (vivo en Guatemala).
    Mi problema comienza con esta advertencia:
    He probado seleccionar Sí, y no pasa nada, nunca termina de cargar el instalador y se queda inactivo.
    Cuando selecciono No, sigue cargando por unos segundo y luego me muestra este error:
    Por favor cualquier información que pueda ayudarme a resolver mi problema lo agradeceré eternamente, como mencioné antes trabajo de esto y sin mi paquete de Adobe instalado no puedo hacer nada.
    Mi computadora es una Sony VAIO VGN-CS215J/R
    4 GB de ram
    Disco Duro de 250 GB
    Todos los drivers, descargados de de la página oficial de Sony para Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits

    Hola,
    Podrías enviarnos la dirección del enlace a ese hilo en el foro en inglés? Gracias.
    Las instalaciones requieren que los navegadores web estén cerrados, en ocasiones también hay que cerrar otras aplicaciones, y si hay una instalación fallida o anterior hay que descargar y ejecutar una utilidad que elimina todos los archivos instalados para permitir que se pueda volver a intentar.

  • Part Numbers for Master Collection CS4

    Hi there,
    I'm really sorry for asking what is a very basic question, however I was wondering if anyone knows the Adobe part number for the UK full retail Adobe Master Collection CS4? I'm thinking about it second hand however I want to make sure that the software is legitimate and licensed for use in this country. I have Googled this but, suprisingly, didn't find any results which I'd consider to be a bit odd.
    The part number of the product I'm considering buying is: 65025303
    Thanks for any guidance you can offer!
    Regards,
    Stu.

    Thanks for the information - I was quite surprised that the part numbers weren't available online anywhere. I contacted the seller who informed me the software was purchased in the UK, however the box said it was made in the US and I understand the UK releases say they're made in Ireland. The seller didn't confirm where the item was purchased from, so I decided against it. There was definitly something a little suspicious about the deal.

  • "Mac OS X Yosemite ver. 10.10"とAdobe MASTER COLLECTION CS4の不具合

    失礼致します。
    "Mac OS X Yosemite ver. 10.10"のPCを購入しました。
    そこに私の所有している、Adobe MASTER COLLECTION CS4をインストールしたところ、
    ソフトは起動して従来通り動作したのですが、ショートカットキーがまったく機能しません！
    このままでは、不便でなりません。
    Adobe側で、何らかのサポート処置はなされていないものなのでしょうか？
    "CS4"ユーザーは、流石にもう見切られたのでしょうが？
    折角、出費し、新しい環境にしたのにがっかりです。
    どなた様か、ご教示のほどよろしくお願いいたします。

    CS4はすでにサポート終了しているソフトウェアですし、
    どちらかというとYosemiteの後方互換が低いのが動作しない主な原因になりますので、
    正常動作しなくても自己責任の範疇になってしまいます。
    Adobeとしては対応しているバージョンであるCreative Cloudを出していますので、
    そちらに移行するのがひとつの方法になります。
    もうひとつはYosemiteの過去互換を上げたアップデータを提供するように
    Appleに働きかけることです。

    No idea if Windows will do it, but you can run Windows without Bootcamp & have OSX available at the same time, which should give you all the Monitors that OSX uses.
