Can't load Photoshop after removing vmutils.framework

Hi,
I removed a folder marked 'vmutils.framework' from my Private Frameworks folder, but on doing a search found that it was linked to Adobe functionality.  I dragged the folder back into the correct location but it disappeared - when I looked for it in Spotlight nothing could be found either.  Now I can't open Photoshop (or any other CS3 application).
I uninstalled my Creative Suite, re-installed, and when I needed to activate the new installation found that I still couldn't open Photoshop.
I'm on a Powerbook G4 ppc, running OSX 10.4.11.  Everything has worked perfectly for ages until I made this silly error this morning.
Can anyone help?
Many thanks!
Max

The intrusive, obnoxious Spotblight is utterly useless for looking for a wide variety of files, including system files like this one which have been declared off-limits to Spotblight by Apple (and the Spotblight driven Finder search).  I have disabled it permanently.  Try the free EasyFind, which finds everything ably and fast without indexing.
2.5 GHz Power Mac (PPC) G5-Quad; 16GB RAM; mutant, flashed 550MHz nVidia GeForce 7800GTX, 1,700MHz 512MB VRAM; ATTO ExpressPCI UL5D LP SCSI card; Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11 and Leopard 10.5.8 boot drives; Spotblight, Dashboard and Time Machine permanently disabled; dual 22" CRT monitors; USB wireless 'n' available but connected to the Internet via wired Ethernet; FW flatbed scanner; 2 SCSI scanners (one tabloid-size transparency scanner and a film scanner); various internal & external HDs; FW Epson 2200 and Ethernet Samsung ML-2850ND printers; 2 X Back-UPS RS 1500 XS units.
  This thread is a prime example of why it is nothing short of idiotic for this Jive forum software to allow a user to mark one of his own replies as "Correct".

  • Can't load photoshop after installing yosemite

    Having trouble loading PS5.5 after installing Yosemite - getting error message 'An unexpeced and unrecoverable problem has occurred, photoshop will now exit'. 

    FOUND MY FIX. I did the 8.25 update for Java...no luck. So I dug a little more. Looks like it was trying to send me to a support.apple link that was dead, so I went digging for where it was trying to point me.
    Java for OS X 2014-001
    FIXED!

  • Can you load photoshop elements, disc version, on more than one computer?

    Can you load photoshop elements, disc version, on more than one computer?

      It‘s been part of recent versions, perhaps from PSE8 onward; I‘m not exactly sure. The software activates automatically upon installation. If you ever change computers and already have two activations simply open the Editor on the old machine and on the top menu click help à deactivate

    Can I load Photoshop CS6 on two computers?

    yes, your one license entitles you to two concurrent installations and activations.  with ps, both computers should be pc's or both mac's.

  • Can't find printer after removing it.

    Hello,
    I happen to have an HP LaserJet M1132 MFP, which was working pretty well until recently it started sending that "/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed" error described in the wiki. I did have dbus running, I tried running avahi-daemon, but no use. So after googling up the problem, I found out that people had the issue solved after removing and installing the printer again.
    Well, I removed the printer via CUPS web interface, and tried to install it again via hp-setup, but this time the printer is not recognized! dbus is running fine, so does cups. lsusb does seem to recognize the printer:
    Bus 001 Device 006: ID 03f0:042a Hewlett-Packard
    Trying to manually feed the device id to hp-setup completely freezes it (and even pkilling it won't remove the window after that).
    dmesg find it too:
    [ 554.981309] usb 1-1.1: new high speed USB device number 6 using ehci_hcd
    [ 555.066090] scsi7 : usb-storage 1-1.1:1.0
    I had it installed before with no problems.
    Anyone can help me to get my printer installed and working again?

    It sounds like you have not installed, but only downloaded it. Have you checked your downloads folder for the installer? 

  • Need Help.  Can't load photoshop.  Gets hung up at "Reading Global Resources"

    I can't get photoshop to load.  It stops loading at "Reading Global Resources".  Currently running CS2 on windows Xp. Called Adobe, they won't support CS2 anylonger.  Need help please.

    Try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
    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.

  • Can't open safari after removing genieo

    How do I open safari  after removing genieo

    You installed the "Genieo" scam product. There is an uninstaller, but as the developer is a scam artist, you shouldn't rely on it. I suggest the tedious procedure below to disable Genieo.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Applications/Genieo.app
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Applications/Uninstall Genieo.app
    /Library/Frameworks/GenieoExtra.framework
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.engine.plist
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client.plist
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client
    /usr/lib/libgenkit.dylib
    /usr/lib/libimckit.dylib
    /usr/lib/libimckitsa.dylib
    Note: Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file doesn't exist.
    The following configuration file may be either created or modified by the Genieo installer:
    /etc/launchd.conf
    The file is unlikely to be used by anything but Genieo or something equally undesirable. Unless you know you need it, delete it in the same way as above, if it exists. Otherwise, edit it to remove the line that begins as follows:
    setenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES
    The above is not a file, but a line inside a file.
    Reboot. Safari should now function normally, and you should be able to reset the home page. If not, stop here and post your results.
    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extension you don't recognize. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    The Genieo installer may also install the "Silverlight" web plugin from Microsoft. If you have no use for that plugin, you should remove it according to Microsoft's instructions. Don't remove it if you subscribe to "Netflix."
    This procedure may leave a few files behind, but it should render Genieo permanently non-functional, as long as you never reinstall it.

    As I wrote you need to look at the crash reports to see where Photoshop is crashing Look in your Windows Action center's Reliability History for your Photoshop CS6 critical events then click on them to see where the problem are. View image uploaded here in a new browser tab or window and scale them to actual pixels the site scale image poorly.
