Yosemite and CS4 problems

I have just downloaded Yosemite and now my CS4 won't open, it requires Java SE 6 to be installed but I cannot find any link to download?
thanks for any help...

>caused by Photoshop not being able to download from Time Machine
Time Machine does not work with Adobe programs because it does not properly "capture" the hidden registration files, and without registration the only option is to uninstall and reinstall
As for the really OLD CS4 and the new Yosemite... Adobe's current software has been updated to work with Yosemite, but old software is no longer updated

Yosemite and printer problems

I have just upgraded to yosemite and now find that my kodak all in one printer won't work. I've reinstalled the up to date software and made sure that the wifi is fine.

I found a solution that worked in this house... we had a mac that couldn't see the printer no matter what we did - another mac found the printer with no problems at all... so what we did was that we set the printer to me shared on the network, and then it popped up on the mac that elsewise couldn't see it...
Once installed as a shared printer, we shut the comuter that shared the printer - and like a miracle, the printer then showed up on the inacessable Mac...
I've done this several times after new updates, and it workes like a charm every time... so just ask friends to come over with their computers - one of them will find the printer, and the rest is easy....
Know it's a silly way around it, but if it works, it works!

10.6.3 and CS4 problems

Further to the other thread on CS3, I've just had the same problem with CS4. I was using Illustrator for a couple of days with 10.6.3, also Photoshop and Indesign. Then today I did something in Illustrator and it crashed, whereupon none of the CS4 programs would open. I reverted to 10.6 and they were all fine again. Anyone else had this issue?

I'm having a similar problem that I may have cracked. My screen is on but the backlight is off (so the image is practically 100% on resume from hibernate. Have you reset the pram and cleared the smc?

ILOK and CS4 problems

Hello.
I know this is an older version, but I am at a complete loss as to understand this.
I need to run up this version in particular, and on launch I get a message telling me that Auto Tune 7 cannot be loaded as it "requires a valid license on my iLOK" to run.
However, this is present & correct as the plugin loads properly in all other VST Plugin hosts.
Why isthis happening - anfd how can I corect the problem please?

Well...one method of correcting the original problem (out of tune notes) is to upgrade to CS6. Audition now includes this capability by default.
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-audition-cs6/pitch-correction/?go=1334 9
No Can Do - this is a 32-bit OS system, and our 64-bit setup is already running CS6, but is a dediacted NLE so has no audio capability worth speaking about.
Also, CS6 premiere is absolutely hopelessly inadequate with it's insane VST plugin handling. Some work, some do not. Some initialize but will not load, some initialize and load but crash PPro as soon as you try to use them. It is literally impossible to reliably use 3rd party VST plugins (and yes, I am well aware that I need to use 64-bit plugins only). Premiere needs - desperately - a proper plugin manager as it's audio handling is ten years behind the times.
@Bill.
Some very interesting thoughts there - I shall try to look into this as it seems strange in the extreme that all the other iLOK VST's are not giving me the same problems, just this one. I'll definitely look into this with PACE and see what they can come up with.
Thanks for the thoughts, chaps.

Yosemite and Bluetooth probleme

Hello,
I have a Macbook Pro (mi-2012) since I upadte to Yosemite my Bluetooth connection are still not available !!
I do so many research and advice for nothing!!!
- Delete the file "com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
- Reboot SMC
- Reset PRAM
I try all of these and none work!!
Can somebody help me please.. Of course I had the last update 10.10.2
Thanks

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

I have updated to Yosemite and gave problem with Mail.

Before updating to the new Yosemite system, I had an icon on the menu bar that displayed a list of address' that could be selected without having to select the address menu efor each address. Now, with the new system, the address icon is gone and I have to check each address individually... Is it possible to get the address icon back on the menu? It was a real time saver when entering multiple addresses.
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac 14,2
Processor Name: Intel Core i5
Processor Speed: 3.4 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Startup Disk: Macintosh HD
Boot ROM Version: IM142.0118.B02
SMC Version (System): 2.15f2

Apple took it away in Yosemite. The only way to do multiple addresses now is to open the Contacts app and select-click/drag from there.
A huge step backward in functionality -- addressing mail is now utterly broken. We should not have to open a separate app just to send a mail to multiple addresses. My advice: send feedback to Apple. If enough of us complain, MAYBE they'll give us back the functionality they took away in the name of "simplicity and elegance."

Problem with yosemite and parallels

Since I have upgraded to yosemite and parallels 10 my windows 7 has been using a lot of CPU resources. Windows 7 runs very slow and it been using almost constantly 100% of one of the quads resources. This just started to happen when I upgraded, because I did not have this problem with Mavericks and Parallels 9 or 10. I have an iMac 2011, 8GB of Ram. Has anybody had this issue. Thanks.

Thanks for the response. I was searching on a parallels forum website and found the following:
As from the symptoms, the issue can lie in NVRAM preferences of your particular Mac.
Please do the following to solve:
open Terminal application on Mac (Applications/Terminal.app)
please type this command (you may copy-paste it to the terminal from this message):
sudo nvram boot-args="debug=0xd4e"
Hit Enter.
You will be prompted to enter Mac user password. Please type it and hit Enter.
Note: you won't see what you are typing, just type and hit Enter. If you don't have Mac user password, please create a temporary one.
Then you may restart your Mac and the issue should be solved.
If not - please reply me here and I'll create a ticket for you in Support.
I did the above and it seemed to correct the problem.

16 mo young Mac Pro will not turn on. Dead. Why. No problems ever! Installed Yosemite and did not boot up after. Did that kill it? To young to die. What

16 mo young Mac Pro will not turn on. Dead. Why. No problems ever! Installed Yosemite and did not boot up after. Did that kill it? To young to die. What happened?what do I do now??????? Help!

Note that you don't have a Mac Pro as stated. Your profile says you have a MacBook Pro. Please clarify as they are entirely different computers. If nothing below works for you, then make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
     computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
     screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Adobe CS4 won't open "An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a disk error.

Photoshop CS4 will not open, when I try and open it I get "An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a disk error. Photoshop will now exit." Bridge is working fine?

No reset window came up it get's as far as initializing and then this window comes up

Yosemite and iOS iMessage Syncing Problem

I am SO frustrated. I've read forum after forum and CANNOT seem to set up text message forwarding. I've signed into just one apple id across all of the devices (@icloud.com), I've selected receive from and only had my email address selected. I've toggled the iMessage on and off on my phone (sometimes crashing iMessage - it says it's activating and then says it can't connect to iCloud). I've turned on BlueTooth and tried connecting my devices and then clicking "Enable Test Message Forwarding." Whatever I do, I CANNOT seem to get the activation code to pop up on my laptop. It just won't.
There is a SERIOUS bug in iMessage and this problem only started after I updated to Yosemite and iOS 8, on my new iPhone 5.
Before updating anything, my MacBook Air and my iPhone 4 were working together beautifully. After updating to Yosemite, suddenly I could receive messages on both devices, but they would show up unread on my phone even though I checked them on my laptop and vice versa and my replies would only show up on the device where the replies originated. When I switched to the other device, conversations appear one sided - I can only see the series of messages my friends sent me in the conversation on the other device (without my replies).
Today, I was furious because I texted someone from my phone while at work and then thought that I never heard from them. I went home to discover that their reply only went to my Macbook Air, which had been sitting at home, closed, on the kitchen table!
I thought I fixed it because one or two messages I sent from my iPhone showed up on my laptop when I used it later in the day. However, I have yet to see this successfully happen again.
PLEASE FIX THIS BUG, APPLE.
Kind regards,
K

Hi,
What I am understanding form your post may not be what you think you are telling me.
Nor does it quite match what I thought I had posted. (post/message is only as good as it is understood by the recipient)
On the iPhone in the iMessages setting remove all additional emails.
Remove the Apple ID you are using for iMessages
Then place in Airplane Mode (ON) which turns everything else Off effectively.
this will leave Messages with just the iPhone number listed when you go back to the settings.
Wait for the iPhone Number to Verify (re-register) with the servers.
Apple IDs
I have an Apple ID I made years ago using an external email address from a Dial up provider.
At the start of iCloud I linked it to iCloud and received an @Me.com email ID either works in iTunes and logging in to the web page for iCloud.
Later I also got an @icloud.com email/ID
Sending an email to @me.com or @iCloud.com gets to my Mail App that lists the @me.com variant.
Emails sent to the original email address do not come through the Apple servers.
iMessages treats each as a separate ID.
It is important that the Apple ID used on the Mac and the first one used as the Apple ID in Messages on the iPhone are the same - even if they are linked elsewhere.
(It can be different to the iCloud setting on each device)
when you add the Apple ID to the iPhone the mac should get the Pop ups to say what the iPhone is using.
Accepting them adds the iPhone number to the Send and Receive options in the Mac version (And th Start conversations from drop down).
At this point on the Mac you should have only two IDs active to Receive and Send (the Apple ID and the iPhone Number).
Text Forwarding should then be enabled on the iPhone, prompting the Mac version to show you the code, which then needs entering on the iPhone.
There are limits to some Model of Mac regarding Handoff and Airplay (my mid 2011 iMac will do Airplay between Macs but not with iOS devices).
I am not sure if there are limits to Text Forwarding though.

New adobe DNG converter and CS4 quality problems - EOS 7D

Hi,
A friend of mine uses Adobe Photoshop CS2.
He plans to buy Canon EOS 7D or EOS 5D Mark II in the future but first we did some tests and conversions.
We found many problems and quality issues.
First Problem is that CS2 doesn't support Canon EOS 7D directly so user has to use DNG Converter to convert the EOS 7D file from .cr2 to a .dng.
When i use and test this, CS2 recognizes and opens .dng file correctly then i optimize sharpness, color etc etc in the photoshop and save the file from the file menu (Save AS) as .jpg file.
Adobe Photoshop CS2 fails to save exif data.
It just saves the camera model nothing else.
On the other hand if i use CS4 it saves all exif data (without dng):
The next problem is quality.
If i use indentical settings in RAW converted between CS2 (dng) and CS4 (cr2) CS2 images look sharper and have more "per pixel sharpness" than CS4 raw images.
Here's a sample (raw file taken from dpreview.com) that i tested it using both raw converters:
So these are two problems that i don't like nor does my friend and i am asking you if you would fix that and why such hudge difference ?
As the CS4 is being the newest the best of all photoshop it should had better picture but in this case the older version has better picture and i don't see any logic in that.
So if user wants to go for better quality he/she will pick CS2 but have a disadvantage - Exif is not saved in the .jpg file.
I also think that if dpreview would have used CS2 instead of CS4 they would get much higher "per pixel sharpness" from Canon EOS 7D as they did now.
Thanks.

You can't use the exact same settings since the settings in ACR 3.x (Photoshop CS2) don't match up to ACR 5.x (Photoshop CS4).
Seriously, there was a major change in ACR 4 and then 5 that make comparing ACR 3.x and 5.x pretty pointless...
Fact is if you aren't getting optimal results from Camera Raw 5.x then you don't know how to use it...simple as that.
ACR 3.x had a very crude image sharpening process compared to either ACR 4.1 and above of any 5.x version.
Seriously, Photoshop CS2 and Camera Raw 3.x is way old tech...if you can't get better IQ from 5.x you are doing something wrong.

Can I revert to the older operating system?

Do a backup, preferably 2.

I have CS4 Photoshop on my iMac with Mavericks. I am going to upgrade to Yosemite, and don't think it is compatible with CS4. Do I get the full Photoshop CC version for $9.99 a month, or do I need to buy any additional things?

Thanks, I was thinking so. I installed my CS4 from a CD in 2008, and it looks like Adobe has taken another approach to selling their products. I'll be downloading CC Photoshop a little later today.

Brush pressure and lag problem with CS4

I've been having a huge problem with Photoshop CS4 and the brushes. Whenever I go to brush, the pressure will turn off and on randomly with each stroke, and it lags horribly. I've installed CS4 on two computers with Windows 7, and both have this problem, but my old computer which had Vista was perfectly fine. I've tried downloading new versions of CS4, turning the OpenGL on and off, updating the GPU, downloading the Windows 7 tablet driver (that made it worst), and a bunch of other things. Nothing has worked, and this problem has been going on for two months. I'm starting to think the only way to fix this problem is by switching back to Vista. Can anyone please help me solve this? Thank you.
My computer is an HP that runs on Windows 7, my Tablet is a Wacom Intuos3, and I have Photoshop CS4 Extended 11.0.2

Others have reported that completely removing the tablet driver(s) first, then installing the very latest from the Wacom web site have made things work.
Good luck.

"The licensing of the product does not work"
Fault 6
How should I proceed?
Have the program installed on only one computer.

Download the Adobe Licensing Repair Tool.
Run the License Service Update.
Mac OS X 10.7 and above:
a. Double-click the LicenseRecovery111.dmg It will extract the folder. Open the folder.
b. Double-click your Hard Drive.
c. Double-click Applications.
d. Double-click Utilities.
e. Double-click Terminal.
f. Type sudo python
Note: There is a space following “python”. Do not press Return.
g. Drag LicenseRecover.py from the LicenseRecovery111 folder onto the Terminal Window and press Return.
It should look like this:
h. Enter your administrator user name and password when prompted and click OK.
(Note: the cursor will not move and you will not see stars or dots, just enter your password anyway.
i. Let the script run, it will tell you when it is finished. Quit terminal and restart Photoshop
