Photoshop CS2 won't open on my Mac

I've been trying to download CS2 for while now, since I found it out it was free. But the problem is that everytime I try to open the file, it says that there has been and error in the installation. I mean, I download the file, it's right there, and it says 'Install Adobe Photoshop', I click on it, I fill all the spaces I have to fill but at the end it always says that there has been and error during he installation. This has happened to me for at least 6 times and I seriously want help.

CS2 is not free. If you never bought it in the past you are not using it legally. Otherwise CS2 is not compatible with contemporary operating systems and you have to live with that.

  • Photoshop CS2 won't open...

    I'm using a Mac G5 with the adobe creative suite 2 standard.  Since yesterday Photoshop has not been opening.. I click on the icon, it bounces up and down once then doesn't do anything else.  I don't know if its crashing or what... but all my other programs are working.. Illustrator, etc... now, I have not tried reinstalling the creative suite yet because I am not sure if I am going to need a pin number to install the programs again... I have the serial number that is on the box...but no registration number or anything like that.  So I'm just being cautious... don't want to uninstall and then not be able to reinstall the programs.   I think maybe any registration number might stay in the computer so long as the hard drive is not re formatted or anything like that.  I am the artist for a small screen printing factory and need Photoshop and illustrator to be able to do my job.  If this has happened to anyone else and you know of a way to fix it or any other possible solutions please help me out.
    Thanks

    Hi, Thanks for your suggestion, it did not work, but I have reinstalled the program without any problems and everything is working again.  Thanks anyway dude.

  • Why won't Photoshop CS2 won't open after installation.

    I've had Creative Suite Premium installed on my laptop for years and not had problems.  I installed it on my home desktop and the activation was accepted.  All other Suite programs work but Photoshop only goes so far as the blue window and the hourglass just sits there.  I'm working with XP Pro and when I open Task Manager Photoshop is shown as not responding.  I've tried to repair with the installation disk and I've tried to uninstall/reinstall twice but nothing seems to help.
    Since I put the Suite on my laptop, the Installation disks have been on my book shelf.  What could possibly be preventing Photoshop from opening?
    Many Thanks in advance,
    Jim Lynn

    What is shown in the blue window as loading when the thing freezes?
    Have you tried resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.

    You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
    This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.   A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

  • Photoshop CS2 Fails to open

    Photoshop CS2 fails to open on two of our Macs. One is a G5 with Tiger, the other is a G4. I deleted the .psp file on the G5, tried to reopen, but it failed. Here is the error message.
    EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
    Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS (0x0001) at 0xad7c6007
    Thanks in advance for your assistance.

    It is usually enough to check it on the enclosing folder. Depending on which version of the OS you have, it should also by itself include enclosed content. In Tiger there is a choice (as far as I remember - I no logner have any machine with Tiger) to include the enclosed folders when you set permissions.

  • I've downloaded a zip file from noisetrade, but it won't open on my mac...what shall I do?

I've downloaded a zip file from noisetrade, but it won't open on my mac.I keep clicking and it vhanges to a cgzp file..and even when I changed the end bit to zip, it won't open.

    Thanks in advance :-)

    iWork (no 's') for iOS & iWork for Mac have not gone away.
    iWork.com (beta) (also no 's') is going away the end of July. iWork.com (beta) is/was an online method of sharing iWork files with other users & never moved out of beta in 3+ years. It is a completely different entity than the iWork apps & is not & never has been necessary for the iWork apps to function.
    A Numbers document, as well as Pages or Keynote documents, cannot be opened on a PC. You must first export them to a file that a PC can use. For Numbers that is generally Excel. In Numbers on your iPad tap the wrench & then tap Share & Print & choose Excel as the file type.
    As for transfering a file from a PC to an iPad, I'm not sure as I don't use a PC.

  • Photoshop CS5 won't open .kmz files

    Photoshop CS5 won't open .kmz files. I did a fresh install of Google Earth, opened it, saved a place, and saved a .kmz file. It reopens fine in Google Earth.
    When I try to open it in Photoshop, this message pops up:
    File Format Error
    This file is from a previous version of Google Earth or it is not a Google Earth file
    I get this message regardless of the following:
    - ps is closed and i right click the kmz and choose ps (rather than google earth) to open it
    - ps is open and i double click the kmz
    - ps is open and i choose file/open and select the kmz
    - ps is open and i have created and saved a new psd file, then choose 3D/New Layer from 3D File/ and select the kmz
    I have tried the usual remedies, change rwx permissions, repair permissions, delete prefs. No luck.
    Any thoughts? Software versions are below.
    Thanks.
    - Photoshop CS5 Extended 12.0.4 x64 (doesn't work in x32 either)
    - Google Earth 6.0.3.2197
    - OS 10.6.8

    I was trying to see (since Photoshop Extended touts the ability to open kmz files) if I could open a 3D Google Earth file and edit it in Photoshop. A file like this for instance http://ecotope.org/anthromes/maps/. After more research I've learned that kmz is nothing more that a container format - you can change the extension to zip and see what's in it.
    I ran across this tidbit in the Photoshop CS3 Extended forum:
    Photoshop CS3 Extended supports the ability to import .kmz files created from Google Earth 4 or exported from Sketch-up in the Google Earth 4 format. Photoshop CS3 Extended cannot open Google Earth files. If you have a Google Earth file, you can convert it to a Google Earth 4 format with the free version of Sketch-up.
    So, theoretically if I could get a kmz into Google Earth 4 format, I could open it in Photoshop. But I haven't had any success importing a kmz or kml into SketchUp. Even just making a native sketchup file and trying to import that in psd gives a ram error.
    Probably I'm wishing for the moon.

  • Photoshop Elements won't open. I have tried re-installing. I have windows pro 7

    Photoshop Elements won't open. I have tried re-installing. I have windows pro 7

     
    Try making a direct desktop icon for the Editor and see if you can launch the program directly from the desktop.
    Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New à Shortcut
    Browse to Computer OS C:
    And find the PSE Editor application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
    C: à Program Files à Adobe à Photoshop Elements 9
    Within the Photoshop elements 9 folder find PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe (with the blue icon)
    Select that file and click Next.
    Then click Finish.
    You should now be able to launch by double clicking on the new desktop icon, bypassing the welcome screen.

  • CS photoshop suddenly won't open after 5 years

    CS photoshop suddenly won't open after running perfectly for 5 years. I do not have the original install disc.
    Any suggestions? Apple and Adobe Tech folks could not help.

    Cris (and Tai Lao)
    there was no installation of a scanner (my Canon LiDe 500F scanner 
    has worked just fine for years) or camera driver (altho I had 
    recently downloaded some pix from my nikon onto iphoto) BUT— your 
    idea was brilliant!--disable Twain, which I did and ps launched 
    successfully!!
    Now, as Tai Loa predicted, I can no longer import the scanner thru 
    ps. Given my current work crunch that's not so terrible, but how does 
    one access a scanner without using ps? If you have had just about 
    enough of me and want to pass on that question I'll understand.
      I am ever so grateful to the two of you for making my ps usable 
    again, but it's midnight here in NYC and I have to pack up my tent 
    and  look for your scanner question reply at the crack of dawn 
    tomorrow. It's been an exhausting anxiety-ridden day but I'm relieved 
    and grateful that there are bright people like both of you out there, 
    interested and willing to help. Many thanks.

    If you own a copy of iPhoto 'qq Log into the App store usimg the Apple I'd you used to set up the computer and go to updates to update. If you have an older version of iPhoto or purchased a used system then you must purchase iPhoto version 9.5

  • HT1529 just loaded Mountain lion, went to about this mac to see if worked, won't open (about this mac)

    just loaded Mountain lion, went to about this mac to see if worked, won't open (about this mac)  About this Mac is listed, nothing happens when I click on it.

    I opened System Profiler by launching it from Utilities.
    It comes up with a different name to the admin name though. Maybe that's why it won't open from "About this Mac"?
    For example, the computer's name when I set it up using the USB installer stick is "Harry Potter".
    But the old MBA that I had was named "js".
    When I install programs, it comes up with "Harry Potter", put in password.
    However, when I look up the System Profiler information using Utilities, it comes up with "js's MacBook Air (2)".
    Does that matter?
    Is the name thing causing the problem with the "About This Mac" not opening?
    I am really confused about all of this.
    The information in the System Profiler is about the newer MBA.
    Should I just not worry about this problem? And just open it up from Utilities if I need to look up System Profiler information?

  • Photoshop CS2 won't let me open?

    I received Photoshop CS2 from Adobe because they shut down the CS server, killing my program. I installed the program using their serial number and when I open it, it says the serial number was not installed and then when I push 'ok' it shuts down. How do I fix this
