Adobe Photoshop CS4 & El Capitan

Did you install the latest July 2015 Apple Java SE6 update that is compatible with El Capitan? CS4 Bridge requires it.

The only Adobe applications that I use are Reader. I don't know if the older Bridge CS4 supports your Nikon model in a raw connection mode. If the camera is newer than Bridge, that might be a partial explanation. I also don't know if Bridge gets help from Apple's Digital Camera Raw support, and if your Nikon model is supported.

You could have used that Summer 2015 Java update on the Yosemite install that you had, and not bothered with updating again to El Capitan.

What does Adobe say? They will probably say to upgrade and buy the subscription.

CS4 is very old (last version available for purchase was CS6, now only Creative Cloud

subscription service available).

1. Apple is not responsible for the compatibility of 3rd party software. They had provided

alpha and beta versions of El Capitan to developers for nearly year. If the developers

choose not to verify compatibility of their products with the new OS, it is their fault.

2. Don't expect Adobe to do anything about a fix for a version that is 3 behind their current

as they want to pull you into their "ball and chain" subscription model.

Please stop this war between Apple and Adobe. You must work together for endusers!!!

New problem for me, I must use firefox instead of Safari to be able to add a comment in your forum.

Is it Apple or Adobe or Java (Oracle) Falt???

This is the last time I'll make any update to this operating system. Step by step you are moving to Windows problems.

If you need end users for beta tests before making new release available for classical end-users, please ask me. I have time and knowloedge for functional and performance testing.

To summaries with LE CAPITAINE (In French) I have many bugs with

Safari: slow , going down, refuse to display pages ...

Photoshop CS5 not working, even after downloading the Java code specified.

Then reboot,

start photoshop CS5

I've made a try with last JAva update available:

-Download

-Installation

-Verify

Test with photoshop CS5 after a full reboot

Doesn't work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling your CS5 apps?

Not yet for Phostoshop CS5.

CS5 Adobe products can be found here

I've got my licence Photoshop CS5 extended 12.0 MAC 1330 ....

Is it the same action for Safari not working with your Apple Forum??? Uninstall and re-install Safari??

Thank you for your answer

I am having the same problem. I think I might contact Adobe and see if I can get a response from them. I don't understand why apple and adobe have such a hard time working together.

Adobe doesn't support CS5 anymore, it's an old release, Adobe has done 4 new releases since. (CS6, CC, CC2014 and CC2015)

1) CS4 is 7 years old, it's not supported by Adobe or Apple.

2) Apple does not fix other peoples software, it will never happen.

3) That is the wrong Java for applications, that Java is for Web Pages

If you have any plans to try and get CS to work you will need this

Download Java for OS X 2015-001

and it does not guarantee that it will, but it won't work without this Java, not the one you installed.

OK it works, thank's for all

Install the latest Java from Oracle

Reboot you Capitan hardware box (A Macbookpro for me)

Drag you CS5 app to the garbage box

Install CS5 from Adobe download server

Enter your license Key

Wait the end

Start photoshop CS5

All is working now.
