My Adobe CS5 software does not load in OS X 10.13.4

Having recently upgraded to OS X 10.13.4 (17E202) on a my iMac, Adobe Fireworks CS5 version 11.0.1.7 (11.0.1) has stopped working.

This has happened before on a previous OS X upgrade, but was fixed by updating 'Java', however Java does not fix my problem with OS X 10.13.4 (17E202) update.

The termination reason as per the 'crash report' states: DYLD, [0x4] Symbol missing

Dyld Error Message:

Symbol not found: _gpumInitializeIOData

Referenced from: /System/Library/Extensions/GeForceTeslaGLDriver.bundle/Contents/MacOS/GeForceTe slaGLDriver

I have tried re-installing, but to no effect. Has anyone else experienced this problem.

I desire a solution urgently as this software, (along with Dreamweaver, In-design, Photoshop) is needed for my business.

iMac, macOS High Sierra (10.13.4), Model Late 2009

Adobe has not supported CS5 products for years, and certainly does not test them against current Apple operating systems. Consequently, If any of your CS5 products depend on certain Apple Frameworks (Libraries) where Apple has changed, or removed functionality, then you are done, or subscribing...

You should check the Roaringapps site, and/or inquire here, before you upgrade the operating system with outdated Adobe software.

Adobe FIreworks CS5 has no data on Roaring Apps since Yosemite (10.10) three years ago. There is a pattern forming here...

What version of OS did you upgrade from to get to Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.4. You can't just download any old version of Java you need to download and install this the Legacy Java 6 Runtime from here, Download Java for OS X 2017-001

This is still no guarantee that Adobe CS5 will play ball on High Sierra, a lot of people report problems with it.

Thank you for the reply, thought some bright spark out there had experienced this issue and created a work around, as the previous solution (updating Java) has worked fine right up until ‘OS X - HS 10.13.4’.

Thanks, again for information.

If you saved a copy of the full 10.13.4 installer, you can install it over 10.13.5 to return to .4. Or, restore a backup that already is 10.13.4.
