Question

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
