  • Double-click/Drag-&-drop Photoshop files opens application but not file or I get a message saying that some files in Application Support are missing and I have to reinstall. (Photoshop CS/CS2/CS3)

    This is most commonly due to installing Photoshop CS/CS2 <i>before</i> doing an archive and install of Mac OS10.3 or OS10.4.<br /><br />One solution is to reinstall Photoshop 7/CS/CS3 after you have installed Mac OS10.3 or OS 10.4.<br /><br />If you have Photoshop 7 and 8(CS), the easiest way to reinstall Photoshop (without disturbing the original installation) is to install to your desktop. After the install is done just trash the Photoshop folder on the desktop.<br />Note: This will only work with Photoshop 7 and 8(CS) but not with 9 (CS2).<br /><br />Photoshop CS2 you must delete the Photoshop CS2 folder. If you have any 3rd party Plugins or presets remove them from the folder before deleting. Just placing the folder in the trash will not work it must be deleted. After reinstalling CS2 you can now put all 3rd party Plugins and presets back in the new folder.<br /><br />---------------------------<br />Another solution courtesy Anne Shelbourne<br /><br />Open your Previous System folder. <br />Find "Adobe Unit Types". <br />Copy it into: <Your current system Hard Drive>/Library/ScriptingAdditions/<br />Then reboot your Mac.<br /><br />---------------------------<br />However, if you happen to be running a non-English version, like Photoshop CS CE or Photoshop CS ME, it appears the missing file does not get installed. You would need to install and delete the international English version first.

    The problem you got into is a known problem after updating to Tiger. It is a small 4K file that gets trashed with the update. It is called the Adobe Unit Types. Both Photoshop and Photoshop Elements need this file to function.
    One way to get it back is to reinstall Photoshop, the other is to add this file again.
    You can get the file from here http://www.dd.se/Tips/bildbehandling/downloads/AdobeUnitTypes.zip
    It is only 3,7 KB big.
    You put the file you download here:
    [hard disk] /Library/ScriptingAdditions. If you don't have a Scripting Additions folder, you create it.
    As you trashed Photoshop, you need to completely deinstall it to be able to reinstall it.

    Just updated my iMac to OS X Yosemite and my Photoshop will no longer open. Pop up message informing, Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application. I have the pay monthly package and don't know where to start.

    Do as it says: Reinstall the program. Run the cleaner tool and let CC app do the magic.

  • PS CS4 64-bit (in Web Premium CS4) on Win 7 PC.  I did a duplicate file check on my hdd and deleted dup files. Now I get "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall.."

    PS CS4 64-bit (in Web Premium CS4) on Win 7 PC.  I did a duplicate file check on my hdd and deleted dup files. Now when I try to run PS 64-bit I get "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application." When I do this, it seems to install correctly until the very end, then it says "Installation Complete With Errors", and when I try to run I get the same 'component missing message'. What can I do? PS 32 bit runs fine. Some of the other applications ib Web Premium say the shortcut has been changed or removed. I appreciate your help...Thank you

    Best advice I can think of is to uninstall and run the Clean Script from here.

    You've done something to your system, or it's possibly gotten a malware infection.
    You can't even reinstall Photoshop?  Have you tried completely removing it, including running the Creative Suite Removal script? 
    How recently did it work?  Have you tried System Restore?

  • 'Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory. Please reinstall the application.'

    I tried opening PS and this message popped up 'Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory. Please reinstall the application.' I cannot find the Reinstall button?

    I followed these instructions but cannot find how to reinstall PS. When I click on the membership link the page displays as NOT BEING FOUND.
    Quit all applications. 
    In the Finder, navigate to the Photoshop application folder. 
    Do one of the following: 
    If the Locales folder is not listed within the application folder, then skip to Step 5.
    If the Locales folder is listed within the application folder, then drag the Locales folder to the Trash.
    Choose Finder > Empty Trash. 
    Start the installer for Photoshop or your edition of the Adobe Creative Suite. 
    If you purchased boxed software, then insert the installation DVD-ROM into your computer's DVD drive.
    If you purchased downloadable software from the Adobe Online Store, then double-click the disk image (.dmg) file or files that you downloaded. (If you no longer have the downloaded disk image file or files, then log in to your account at www.adobe.com/membership to download the installer.)

  • Open in Photoshop CS5 errors with "Some of the application Components are Missing...

    After doing a migration from one mac to another mac with the Migration Assistant,  when I try to edit a lightroom file with the Open In CS5 I get a dialog that comes up "Some of the application Components are Missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application.
    Well I have reinstalled photoshop, actually uninstalled it first, the reinstalled twice...once with "keep preferences" and once without.  I have also run the Adobe Upgrader and everything is up to date.  Lightroom is up to date.
    Any ideas??

    Since you can open a photo in CS5 when selecting <Open anyway>, I would also think that this is a problem of Lr.
    When you select <Render using Lightroom> Lr creates the PSD (or TIFF) and sends it to CS5.
    So it seems that this part of Lr that is creating a PSD (or TIFF) from your Raw image is missing / broken.
    Most probably something got left behind when you used the Migration Assistant.
    I would suggest this: Download from Adobe's website the trial version of Lr 4.3. The trial version is a full version with all features enabled, but it runs only for 30 days.
    Each time you open the trial version you get the option <I want to buy>. Select this option and enter your serial number. This will unlock the trial version for unlimited use.
    Maybe it would be good to un-install your current Lr before re-installing the downloaded file to ensure that you do a "clean" re-installation.

  • Error "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinsta

    I downloaded Photoshop Extended about a week ago... the second time I opened it, an error message came up saying "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application."  So I uninstalled it, then re-intalled it.  I was able to open it successfully after that - and I used it once.  I have just gone to open it again and it is reading the same error.  This is very frustrating - why is it doing this?  I don't want to have to unintall and reinstall everytime I want to use it.  Please help

    I want to bump this topic, again. So far the clues I've found are that there may be problems when the program was installed in one user account, and used in a different one. Perhaps there is a language setting, too. Can anyone give tips on this error for Mac, specifically Lion OS?

    Renée in the future when removing Photoshop CC please utilize the uninstaller located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  Please run the uninstaller and then reinstall.  If you continue to face difficulty reinstalling Photoshop CC then please see CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.
