How to reinstall CS4 into my Mac Pro 13" (2013/2014)?
Hi Ladies and Gentlemen,
So I bought CS4 Design Premium some time back, my macbook (white non unibody) crashed on me in 2012/13.. sad I KNOW, a long with all my documents so I thought. Went to a computer guy, and he managed to recover all my programs etc, the problem I am currently facing is this...
specs of my gear:
Mac Retina 13" Pro Mid 2014 (just checked)
OS X Yosemite
Now when I dragged my programs into THIS NEW LAPTOP, there was no problem, from what it looked like (successful installation), BUT to my dismay a little box popped up and said the following:
To open "Adobe Illustrator CS4" you need to install the legacy SE 6 runtime.
click "more info..." to visit the legacy Java SE 6 Download website.
so clicked "more info.." and this popped up:
---
Java for OS X 2014-001 includes installation improvements, and supersedes all previous versions of Java for OS X. This package installs the same version of Java 6 included in Java for OS X 2013-005.
Please quit any Java applications before installing this update.

Keep your software up to date. If you need Java, download the latest version of Java for OS X directly from Oracle https://www.java.com

I downloaded this... and STILL CS4 doesn't want to function.
wondering if anyone has had a similar problem and likes to be as hipster as me and use the old CS4 more than the current versions due to loss of old file features and editing capabilities ![]()
please lend a helping hand and lets bring this little guy back to life on my laptop. ❤️
Thank you in advance,
Chrissie
