ok. the issue at hand is i have an outdated macbook from 2009 that i have CS4 installed on. I recently puchased a newer Imac and I want to transfer my CS4 so I can resume at least some of my design work. Unfortunately i have a few issues, one thing is I no longer have my install disc(lost in a move), the other is due to the age and wear and tear on my old macbook, i cannot properly transfer my creative suite to the new Imac. I know that Adobe no longer supports CS4 but I don't have the ability to get Creative Cloud right now. I really need the basic three aps(Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign) any help would be greatly appreaciated. Thank yo in advance for your time.

    Doesn't matter about the disk, CS4 is way too old to run on a new Mac. Part of the Joy Of Mac is constantly getting new apps, and you need to budget for this. The way to get CC for three apps is the All Apps plan ($50/month or so).  

    If this is impossible today, keep your old Mac going for old apps, and use your new Mac for new apps. Tip: do not connect the old Mac to the internet.

      If your CS4 is registered or you still have proof of purchase then you likely can contact Customer Care to get new installer files. You still need the serial number (might be in your account information as well). Then all you need is an old Mac that can run the software. Maybe you can get some old machine in the used market.
