Photoshop CS2 is NOT compatible with my MacBook Pro!

Despite Apple's marketing hype to the contrary, I had the following experience with the CS2 Suite. I loaded it from disks, registered and activated it, and then immediately opened a photo image for editing. I tried to crop the image, and the response was "That operation cannot be completed - Your scratch disks are full." Now, I have ~90GB available on the "scratch disk," so it is NOT full.
I called Adobe Tech Support. The tech said "CS2 was not really designed to work with the new Intel chips. If it's not working for you, we're sorry, but there's not much you can do about it. No 'patch' or software upgrade is anticipated soon."
The tech said that he hadn't heard much about this issue; is that for real? Am I having a unique problem for some reason? At least he didn't charge me $39, that's one benefit I can think of. Any hope out there for a solution to this issue from the Apple side?

I just completed a CS 2 project involving both Photoshop and InDesign on my MBP 17 and had only two problems -- InDesign prefs got corrupted. I cleaned them out and then went from there with no problems until I opened a figure in Photoshop -- the program informed me I was missing components and needed to reinstall Photoshop. But it let me edit the file. Once I was done I did a reinstall of CS2 and everything seems to be fine now.
I have noticed a prevalence for prefs files to get trashed on this machine more so than on my G5 iMac or my PPC PB.

  • Photoshop CS2: "file not compatible with this version of Photoshop" error

    So, I've been working with Photoshop for almost 20 years now, and lately I've been getting this error message on occasion (but not on every file) when I go to open a file I worked on just yesterday: "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop." I just worked on it yesterday in Photoshop. The file was saved as a PSD, and when I attempt to open it through Painter IX, that program tells me that it's not a Photoshop document. Why can't I open this file anymore, and why is it giving me this error message when I don't have Norton AntiVirus installed, and my 'maximize PSD and PSB file compatibility' is set to 'always'??
    Does anyone have an idea on how I can open my file? How can I get around this, and how do I prevent it from happening again?

    This is the boilerplate text I use in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
    If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please
    cease and desist immediately
    in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files.
    Working across a network is not supported.
    See:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/322391.html
    Copy the
    CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
    Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
    Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does
    not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
    If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
    When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

  • Installation CD not compatible with new Macbook Pro

    I have a new 13" Macbook Pro. I bought the Airport about a year ago and just purchased a new laptop. I try to install from the CD but it says it can't because the OS isn't supported. Online, apple says it is. What's wrong? Is there a way to download an install? I don't have snow leopard, it's the version right before it.
    Thanks

    Welcome to the discussions!
    You can download AirPort Utility 5.5.1, but it requires an operating system running 10.5.7 or later on Leopard, the previous operating system to Snow Leopard.
    If you are not sure what operating system the MacBook Pro is running, click the Apple icon at the upper left of the screen and choose About This Mac.
    If you need to update your operating system, click the Apple icon again and select Software Update. This should update your system to a version that will be compatible with AirPort Utility.

  • How can I download itunes 10.6.3, as itunes 10.7 is not compatible with my macbook?

    I upgraded my iphone 4s to iOS X 6. It will not connect to my itunes now because it requires itunes 10.6.3. The latest version of itunes is 10.7 but this is not compatible with my macbook, when I download 10.7 it says that i need to have Mac OS X 10.6.8 or better, which i don't and I think i have to pay to upgrade. Is there still a way that i can download the earlier version of itunes which is 10.6.3?

    A better solution is to try a number of better, free alternatives. Consider
    LibreOffice (donation-supported)
    NeoOffice (free)
    OpenOffice (free)
    I use Apple's Pages ($19.99) as well as OpenOffice and have been completely Microsoft - free for over a year now. Life is better without Microsoft.

  • Why can't i get rid of the firefox4 application which is not compatible with my macbook?

    downloaded firefox4 .. it is not compatible with my macbook OSX10.4 ... but the application box still remains and cannot be deleted ... every time i open firebox the first thing which pops up is the firefox4 application box ... once i click it into my sidebar the firefox3.5 opens ... when i open the finder the firefox4 box also opens ... very annoying!

    Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
    To restore from backup see:

  • I have an Acer external hard drive 500GB.  Is it compatible with Apple MacBook Pro laptop?

    I have an Acer external hard drive 500GB.  Is it compatible with Apple MacBook Pro laptop?

    There are only a handful or Hard Drive mechanism manufacturers left. Acer is not one of them, although they may make the enclosure (but probably not that either). So in essence you have a Brand-X enclosure with some sort of Hard Drive inside.
    Most of those work fine once they are re-Initialized for use on the Mac. For me, I prefer to use the Re-purposing of a drive as an opportunity to re-write every block with Zeroes (which can take several hours but can be done in the background), assuring that every block is good.

  • Is the Canon MF3010 compatible with the Macbook Pro (Mountain Lion 10.8.3)?

    A recently bought Canon MF3010 laser printer does not seem to be compatible with my Macbook Pro (10.8.3). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get it to work? It's not listed in supported software on the site and I tried downloading and intalling some software recently available on the Canon site, but that's not working either.

    The MF v10.0.0 driver available from Canon works fine on OS X 10.8.
    As for it not being listed in the supported software, if you are referring to the Apple KB article then that is just a list of what drivers are available from Apple. It's not a "only these drivers are supported" list.
    So assuming you downloaded and installed the MF v10.0.0 driver, what exactly is not working? Have been able to add the printer but it does not print? Or are you not even able to add the printer?

  • Are SACDs fully compatible with the MacBook Pro?

    I'm a huge Tolkien appreciator, and I absolutely love Howard Shore's incredible scores for Peter Jackson's film adaptions of The Lord of the Rings. The Complete Recordings of each film come with a double-sided SACD of the score, which does play in the DVD Player application on my MacBook Pro (late 2011), but I'm not sure if it's actually getting the full sound quality from the SACD. Does anyone know if the MacBook Pro's system takes full advantage of the multiple channels on the SACD?
    Thanks!

  • My iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro.  it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone

    my iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro.  it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone.  However, when I go to authorize my computer, it says it is already authorized.  How do I fix this?

    You can't change the Apple ID that the Authorize dialog comes up with by default. It's showing you that Apple ID for a reason: it means that the items you want to play were purchased using that Apple ID and therefore you need to authorize your computer with that Apple ID. Changing the Apple ID given completely defeats the entire purpose.
    If you don't know the password to the given Apple ID, then you will no longer be able to play those items.
