CS4 wont even start (photoshop, indesign, and illustrator)

Hi, I'm using CS4 which is offered by my uni and I have a license and everything. I use a Macbook Pro and never had any problems with the adobe programs until a few weeks ago. Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign just start over and I tried to uninstall and remove all traces of adobe and put it back, returning the license code, and all but without success... now my semester is coming to an end and I really need programs to complete a project. What should I do?

Thanks for the help!

then uninstall anything cs4 installed, clean by the use of the Adobe Creative Cloud cleaning tool to solve installation problems, restart your computer, and then reinstall.

  • Adobe Creative Suite Design CS6 - PhotoShop, InDesign and Illustrator immediately stops after start

    I am troubleshooting for a customer with Adobe Creative Suite Design CS6.

    Its programs do not start all of a sudden, they launched and begins to read the plug-ins and opening a workspace, but then without warning and error it stops. no newspaper, error message or anything like that...

    It's the same thing for PhotoShop, InDesign, and Illustrator in 32 bit and 64.

    He runs the clothing on an Hp EliteBook 8560p with Windows 7 Pro x 64 sp1.

    It would also have a Wacom Bamboo CTE 650 installed penpad before.

    That's what I've done so far:

    * Uninstall the whole and reinstalled again suit (made it 3 - 4 times, manually deleted regestry files, used CNettoyez and other cleaning tools)

    * Deleted the drivers wacom with controlpanel tool, driver Windows Clean tool, CNettoyez and manually remove the keys from the registry and files.

    * Uninstall the antivirus software and replaced by another, inactivated AV and Windows Firewall.

    * Delete the registry files for the costumes and "re-register" them once again.

    * Full patch for windows and adobe software.

    * Restart between each stage

    Any suggestions?

    I should add that adobe for this $2000 software support really sucks...

    Thank you!

    Problem solved!

    I went through all records related to adobe cs6 and renamed their (one), then they would be be recreated.

    I've done this before, but it looks like I missed this specific.

    In any case, when I renamed the file "SLCache" in C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Adobe\ and then ran the applications one by one as administrator, I was prompted for a serial again key and log my Adobe ID.

  • I was told that CC versions of Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator are available with support right to left languages flawlessly.  Please order ME CC working with languages of the West and the Middle East.  My problem is no one that I spoke

    I was told that CC versions of Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator are available with support right to left languages flawlessly.  Please order ME CC working with languages of the West and the Middle East.  My problem, it sucks, I talked to Adobe can tell me how to order the ME version.  I went around and for a week with them and have gotten nowhere.  I can't believe I'm the first person to ask for this version of CC and hope someone on the forum can point me in the right direction.  One last question - does anyone know how to reach support and talk to a real person?  Thank you.

  • If I have the creative cloud package which has Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator CS6, should I pay again to get the CC 2014 version?

    If I have the creative cloud package which has Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator CS6, should I pay again to get the CC 2014 version?

    It depends really on what subscription plan, you are connected to.  Normally any programs are available through your subscription are listed for install you in the CC Office Manager application.  If you do not see some programs listed, it might be because your machine does not meet the system requirements for them... that's normally what happens with the Manager.

  • Updated for Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator 6/18, now nothing does not open: error 16

    Updated for Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator 6/18, now nothing does not open: error 16. None of the 16 fixed error using the Adobe PCD folder permissionms and SLS store work. Uninstall and reinstall do not work. Is on the phone with Adobe 5 times since that happened on June 18. Probalby spent 5 hours on the phone with 4 different tech. I'm waiting for a recall, but the guy Adobe told me that it will be 2 days. Other engine have this same problem... everything is resolved? Help!

    PS - also made a new user account and tried to open with that, thinking it was a permissions problem. Always error 16. Frustrating... can not work if I don't have the software.

    I found a solution on a post in the forum.

    Installation of creative application Cloud Desktop caused my PS CS6 and applications of Cloud Photoshop CC go error 16. After trying just about everything, open the Terminal and type:

    sudo chmod-r 777 library/Application\ Support / Adobe

    instantly solves the problem.

    I think I typed in my login pw also when he asked for it.

    It worked for me also! After 8 days and 7 hours on the phone with Adobe, it worked. And no thanks Adobe... the tech support people 'high' of my case, but continued in havingme circles try the same thing with the same results: error 16. I was promised a call back 3 times and NEVER RECEIVED a reminder. I used to think strongly about Adobe and I look forward to the new release... no more. It is aggravating and costly for a professional designer go 8 days without being able to use the software, that we rely on. Kudo forum for suggesting a solution that works. Boo to Adobe for not to do so.

  • Hi guys, Im a Print graphic designer (I use Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator) I would like to gain more skills and to "print to web design".

    While doing some research, I came across some nice software Adobe like Adobe Muse and Adobe Edge animate.


    That is me learn and master would you recommend?  I tried also to Adobe After Effects and it seems to be very friendly also. I know it's mainly for those in the film industry, but I think it might be useful for me to have some knowledge a little in this regard, especially to make some Intros and animations for logos. What do you think about this?

    That is me learn and master would you recommend? also do you think After Effects would be good for me?

    I looked at a few tutorials on Youtube and Lynda.com on Adobe Muse and Adobe Edge. They are quite simple and I'm comfortable with it.

    But I would like to know the difference between Muse and leading Edge if you please. They both seem to be some software a bit for those who want to design without coding, right? But apart from that, how they differ from each other.

    We hope to get some nice tips, advice from you guys.

    See you soon,.

    You have access to all the software with the creative cloud (Hooray for subscription!), so do not leave entirely. I just would focus on web stuff now, since this is what interests you and go back to AE when you're ready to give it some time. It will take a few months to really come to grips with it.

    Hi all

    I worked during the day now for Indesign and Illustrator CS6 return to work.

    Since a clean reinstall of Mac OS x 10.9, I can't solve error 5. What I've done since the question:

    (1) Uninstall using own CC

    (2) second clean reinstall of os x 10.9

    Install 3) + update CS6 (error remains)

    (4) using CC Clean uninstall

    (5) downloaded again CS6 Installer (from adobe.com)

    Install 6) + update CS6 (error remains)

    (7) to set the permissions (SLStore + PCD folder) which is not found in OS x 10.9

    How can I fix it?

    Enable the Root account once and try to launch InDesign:

    The root user account is the account Super user with higher privileges.  You can try running the CC app once.

    You cannot create Root account, it is a built in user account, you can turn on and off according to your choice.

    Root user account activation step:


    OS X Mavericks: enable and disable the root user

    (Applies also to Yosemite)

    How to connect as root

    1. If you are connected, choose quit from the Apple menu.
    2. If you connect from a list of names of users with pictures, click on the other.
    3. In the name field, type: root
    4. In the password field, type the password that you set when you configure the root user account.

    Once you connect to the Root account try to launch the application InDesign and check.

  • Is there a way I can buy InDesign and Illustrator ONCE and not have to pay monthly and annual fees?

    I have Photoshop Elements, I bought it once, it's not every year or fresh monthly, what I want to know is if there's a similar way to buy InDesign and Illustrator. Honestly, I don't use these programs which often (or at least not often enough to justify the cost I would have to pay).

    I searched so far came empty-handed and frustrated, that I don't want Adobe Cloud (I need not other programs) are there really no other option then to pay too much money for the programs that I have used often use?

    If the answer is Yes, then nobody knows of any similar programs that do the same things I could buy instead?

    Thanks to all who commented!

    If you are ready to deal with older software, and your computer can support the older versions, you can always buy CS6, but it will never be updated and will not run on newer computers.
