Error Message after installing Photoshop & Illustrator (CS2) on new iMac

When I launch Illustrator or Photoshop (both CS2) on my new iMac 2.8 GHz, I get the error message: "Connection Failed. server may not exist or is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and your network connection and try again."
I click OK and they open, but this behavior is getting OLD. I've uninstalled and re-installed and I continue to get the error every time I open these applications. It only happens with Illustrator and Photoshop. I'm in the process of transferring all my files and apps from my old G4 which is connected via ethernet. I've de-activated and removed the old copies on the G4. Does anyone know what is causing this error message and how I can remedy the situation? Thanks for your help.
(24" 2.*GHz Core 2 Duo iMac / OS 10.5.6 / 2 GB memory)

I've just done almost exactly this. Moved to a brand new imac runnning Leopard, (but I've got the newer model imac - 4Gb, 2.93 Ghz 10.5.6) and not yet bought CS4.
I installed both Illustrator and Photoshop CS2 from the disc (migrating didn't work, suprise suprise so I just wiped everything off and started with a clean install) but both still refused to start until I'd repaired permissions. After I did that it worked fine.
Even using Rosetta, Photoshop CS2 seems to be faster than on the G5 imac I've just replaced (especially using an external firewire 800 drive as a scratch disc). And no apparent bugs so far.

    Hi pholewinski!
    I have a couple of articles for you here that I believe will help you with this issue. The first is an article on advanced troubleshooting, and it can be found here:
    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3297
    If following that article's steps doesn't take care of the issue, you can try the things listed in this article, which is about permissions issues in iTunes:

  • Can't install photoshop cs6 on brand new iMac - "Media db error: 18"

    At my company we recently hired a web designer – given his insistence on using the Adobe software, we decided to give Photoshop a try.
    We downloaded a trial version and tried to install it on the brand new iMac (no previous installations of adobe stuff) we just bought for the new desigher, but... it's not even installing!
    The installation process halts at around 2% and an error screen appears which gives generic instructions ("restart your computer and retry") and points to a log file where one can read "Media db error: 18".
    Of course we tried restarting the computer, cleaning up ~/Library, re-downloading the installer... no good – we then downloaded and run an adobe cleanup utility... still no good.
    Some people on the internet report they have the same problem... we found several questions on the matter, but no answer (besides "restart your computer" and other generic stuff that we tried and does not work).
    We then called Adobe support (Italian support) and they told us they don't give support for trial versions, like we should sight unseen buy a (pricey!) software we can't even install! .
    Can anyone here help?

    Thanks for your help!
    No, no beta or previous installations of any Adobe products – we are trying to install to a brand new iMac (just bought last week from the store): it has the latest version of everything (Os: Lion 10.7.4)
    Is there any debug switch I can turn on on the installer to get further information on what's going wrong? ("media db error" is a somewhat laconic error message)

  • I receive error messages after installing Illustrator and InDesign

    Before today, I spent 3 days downloading the trial programs for Design & Web Premium CS6:
    Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Audition, Bridge, DreamWeaver, ExtendScript Toolkit, Extension
    Manager, FireWorks, Media Encoder, Muse, Prelude, Widget Browser, Flash Builder 4.7, Flash Professional and Media Encoder. (This is all through my online classes, and I do have a serial number that was sent to me, but no CDs.)
    I used Adobe Application Manager to install them.
    Everything downloaded and installed fine on my main computer (running Windows 7), but on my older,
    slower, backup computer (running Win XP) I encountered problems.
    I have DSL (the lowest speed, 1.5), Win XP (32 bit) SP2, 28.6 GB capacity hard drive.
    Used space (after the downloads): 17.2 GB (61%)
    Free Space: 11.4 GB (39%)
    Downloading the trial on my Win XP computer gave several errors, and I had to re-install and/or update (at first it would say 'Try,' but then after that was done, some of them would say 'Update') most of the programs several times before they finally all seemed to fully download OK. For one of the programs, it gave an error saying there was not enough hard drive space. So then I deleted a few programs from my hard drive. But all the other programs gave different errors, which would say that they installed, but that there were problems, or that they could not install, etc.
    But, after downloading everything, and everything seeming to be OK, when I tried to open Photoshop CS6 (trial version), it said:
    Photoshop.exe - Entry Point Not Found
    The procedure entry point GetLogicalProcessorInformation could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll.
    (And it had the red circle with the white "X" inside it.)
    I then tried to open Illustrator, and it said:
    "Illustrator.exe - Application Error
    The application failed to initialize properly (0xc000001d).
    Click on OK to terminate the application."
    I then tried to open InDesign and it gave the same error as Illustrator.
    So then I ran all my anti-virus, anti-spyware and diagnostic software to see if there were any viruses or spyware or malware found. Nothing was found except some tracking cookies.
    Then I uninstalled all the Adobe software, which took a while.
    Then I used Adobe Application Manager to only download Photoshop. It seemed to download and install, but finally it said, “Installation completed though some optional components fail to install correctly.” This is one of the errors I had gotten previously. When I clicked to see more info about the error, it said to either find a certain file, which I could not find because it looked like some of the files it mentioned were invisible files, or it gave another option, to download Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86).
    So I went to Microsoft’s website and downloaded that. But when I tried to install it, it said I needed to install Windows Installer 3.1 or higher. So I went to that website and downloaded that (the downloaded installation file was called WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe. So I installed that.
    Then I went back and tried to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) again (that installation file is called vcredist_x86.exe). After it extracted the file, it said, “Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributable Setup: (red circle with white “X” inside) “Setup has detected that this computer does not meet the requirements to install this software. The following blocking issues must be resolved before you can install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributable Setup software package.” “Please resolve the following: A newer version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable has been detected on the machine.” Then at the bottom of the error window, it said: “Please, see the Microsoft Visual Studio website for more information.” Then it only had a “Close” button.
    I went to the Microsoft Visual Studio website, but I’m not sure what to do. It has an Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2012 (“Now you can create rich, immersive apps for Office 2013, SharePoint 2013, and Office 365.”) with a “Download Now” button, but that does not sound to me like what I need.
    I saw, on one Adobe site, a suggestion to go to the Adobe Creative Cloud website and download the software from there (which I noticed also used the Adobe Application Manager). So I did that for Photoshop, and after it installed and updated, it gave me the same error: “The procedure entry point GetLogicalProcessorInformation could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll.”
    As of Friday March 29, I have been working on downloading and installing the software for FOUR (4) days now without success, and it is just so frustrating because it is taking so much time and effort.

    Branching this to a new discussion as it appear you are facing difficulties with the installation or running the programs you have been downloading and installing.

  • "Failed to initialize" error message when installing Photoshop Elements 12

    Hi,
    I kepe getting an error message when trying to install Photoshop elements 12. I have re-downloaded the files multiple times from different places and none work so I know it isn't a corrupted file. Tried a system restart. Tried using support advisor but it found no issues.
    I'm running Mac OS X 10.9 on a 2012 Macbook Pro that meets system requirements.
    Any help is greatly appreciated

    I have gone through the install logs and the error I am getting is 'PIM - Error could not create PIM Common Folder Path'. I have gone to the PDApp folder and it does not have any permissions on it. I have gone to the folder PDApp and it doesn't have any permissions, I'm not sure what to do from here. The PDApp folder is a alias that leads to the Adobe Application Managers folder. Sorry for the font being bold, it wouldn't turn off after pasting the error message.

  • CS5 error message after installing Genuine Fractals 6

    I've just installed Genuine Fractals 6 into CS5 and when I launch PS, I get the following error message - see screen grab.
    I've now removed GF but I still get the error message. Anyone know how to rectify this?

    Since my prior message I have installed 6.0.6 into Photoshop CS5 on Windows 7 x64 and I do not see the error you are describing.  Perhaps there are several different CoreFoundation.dlls on your system, and Genuine Fractals is accessing the wrong one.
    Is yours the 6.0.6 version?  And are you seeing it in 32 bit Photoshop or 64 bit or both?
    What is your operating system?
    Sounds like their installer didn't remove everything it installed.
    If it can help you to remove all the files, these are the files it installed into my Photoshop 32 bit folder, all having a Mod date of 5/31/2010.  Note that there are several more beyond the list shown above:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\CoreFoundation.dll"
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\glut32.dll"
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\icudt42.dll"

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\Panels\onOne\onOne.swf"
    Make sure all of the above are removed.
    Also, you should try resetting your prefs (Ctrl-Shift-Alt immediately after starting Photoshop).

  • Error message after installing 10.8.2 update

    After installing the osx 10.8.2 update the mok resrtarts and give a error message: "the update could no be installed" or so. As I look up in the system info the update appears al isnatlled. Why?

    I'm another user with same issue, started right after the upgrade, appears consistently with login/out, sleep/wake, rarely otherwise. 
    ? some launchd process calling usereventagent which then crashes
    Application Specific Information:
    *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[__NSCFNumber length]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x5088002c7'
    abort() called
    terminate called throwing an exception
    This is on a 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Xeon.  No similar issue with my Air which I also upgraded to 10.8.2, so I suspect it's a launchd process installed by something which I and others have added that gets run at login and logout (and less frequently at other times).

    Trying to update with the latest drivers didn't do me any good.
    HP has the worst software and horrible update instructions.
    This is the page that purports to having the latest for snowleopard

    I found I had to specifically delete the offending file "hpPlugInInit.kext" before I no longer received that error message.
    HP also has this firmware update:

    There are no instructions telling me if this has or has not been included in my printer.
    I'm guessing at the instructions, and I'm going to run the program. But who know at the success.
    I'm never buying another HP anything. Especially if Apple offers me a "deal" on it.

  • Error Messages After Installing Leopard 2

    After installing Leopard from the Install DVD, I used Software Update to update to 10.5.1, and updated QuickTime, etc. I also ran Cocktail, the Leopard edition. The Hard Drive checked out OK. When I ran Repair Permissions in Disk Utility, I got a number of error messages. One set starts like this: "Warning SUID file "System/Library/Private Frameworks/DiskManagement.framework/Versions/A/Resources/DiskManagementTool" has been modified and will not be repaired."
    There are a number of messages like this. What shall I do?

    Download and install this update, even though you've already updated.

  • Anyone getting this pop up error message after installing Lion?

    After installing Lion I now get random pop up error messages that say...There was a problem connecting to the server. URL's with the type "file" are not supported. I have to keep closing them. Any ideas what to do?

    Actually, In my case, turning off Time Machine didn't help. I had the same problem. We definitely traced it to Time Machine. The "Fix" was this: plugged in and designated different external HD as Backup volume. Then unplugged it and plugged in the original disc (after testing in in a different machine) and now the computer recognized it and error message stopped popping up. The Apple tech was as puzzled as I as to why this worked, but perhaps, forcing the machine to re-recognize it (or maybe even gettting it recognized by a different machine first) somehow worked some magic.
