Installed New Security Updates--Now Photoshop Won't Open(?)

I just installed some mac security updates as prompted. I'm pretty lazy about updating so I'm sure that this was not a brand new update. After restarting my laptop, I found that my copy of Photoshop CS2 will no longer open. The program will begin to launch, but then shut down before opening. The usual "program has unexpectedly quit" prompt pops up.
I have since unistalled and reinstalled Photoshop. Same problem with the fresh installation.
What is going on? The rest of Creative Suite is running fine...
How can I overcome this?

sssboyle,
First of all, Welcome to the  Discussions Forums!
Have you tried Repairing Permissions from Disk Utility found in your Applications folder>Utilities?
When open click on the First Aid tab. Select your HD in the left pane and then click on Repair Permissions.
See if that helps,

Can I revert to the older operating system?
I am not familiar with tech speak, so plain english please. Thank you in advance.

Do a backup, preferably 2.
Revert to a Previous OS X
Revert Yosemite to Mavericks

Reloaded Photoshop CS5 (New Machine) and now it won't open, geta message "Could not open scratch file because disk is not available", so pS won't go any farther.

If prefs are the same as Settings on a MAC, OK, it would have been more
clear to me if you had said Settings since I didn't see anything related to
prefs. On a PC, I know what you mean, On a MAC, wasn't sure.

You did a d/l of the iTunes .dmg - did you install by opening the .dmg and following the dialogs?

Problems after installing new security update-help?

Hi, how can I verify what I recently downloaded on my mac. I installed the security update from software update, and i want to make sure I downloaded something intended for my machine. I have doubts as my machine runs like **** now. Apps take forever to open, screensaver comes on when its set to never, printer won't work, etc. Also, if it was just a bad download, can I just try loading it again over the last one? First, I'd love to see what i downloaded. Thanks. In a bind. Never had this happen before. Running 10.3.9

Hi Matthew,
First of all, you should be able to check in your HD/Library/Receipts folder to see what has been installed by looking for the .pkg of it.
re: "I installed the security update from software update, and i want to make sure I downloaded something intended for my machine"
You should not be offered updates that are not intended for your System through Software Update. Software Update, as far as I know, reads the .pkg files in your Receipts folder and will offer what you need from that. (I believe that is correct....perhaps someone will correct me if I'm wrong)
Did you Repair Permissions from Disk Utility before and after the update?
If not I would try running Repair Permissions (HD/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility/Repair Permissions).
I've found that with Security Updates that it is very important to Repair Permissions before and after updating.

Just installed the latest update, now iTunes won't launch

Hi,
iTunes was running perfectly fine, but wouldn't let me access the iTunes store until I installed the latest software update (9.0.2 or something like that). The software installed successfully, but now iTunes won't open. When I click on the icon in the dock, it bounces once, then nothing happens. I also tried opening iTunes through the Applications folder, and still nothing happens. I've also tried ctrl-clicking on music files and choosing "open with iTunes" and still nothing. It doesn't give me an error message or anything, it simply doesn't do anything. I just want to listen to my music! Does anyone have any advice?

Of course, immediately after posting this, I looked through the board again and discovered another topic on the exact same question. The answer was that I needed to update my software to version 10.4.11. I did that, and iTunes opened just fine.

Can't install new Security Update (PPC)

Hi. Im trying to install the new security update for PPC, but somehow i cant. When Im about to choose the destination, the installer said that "You cannot install Security Update...(PowerPC) on this volume.This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."Kind a weird but Im installing it on my iMac's HD & my system is running 10.4.8. I hope somebody can help me.Thanks in advance.

Use Software Update to install the security update. Repair Permissions before and after.

Latest updates now mail won't open

Down loaded the latest updates today now mail won't open??

Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, reinstall any updates that may not have been installed properly. It may also be necessary to reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with your computer:
Mac OS X 10.3.9 Combo Update
Security Update 2007-003 for Mac OS X 10.3.9
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

Itunes updated, now it won't open.

Itunes was updated and now it won't open. A box appears reading "New Itunes Library". What's going on?

I had this and managed to fix it:
Download iTunes from https://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Open the Terminal
Run "sudo rm -r /Applications/iTunes.app"
Re-install iTunes

Installed new update, now Itunes won't open

I installed the new update, now when I try to open itunes it just stays on the bottom. The arrow is under it like it's open, but the window doesn't come up. Also, it won't even force quit, to get it to turn off I have to reboot.
Jason

Jason, I just downloaded the latest update as well and sure enough, iTunes crashes during start-up every single time - the good ol' rainbow pinwheel keeps going and I can't force quit either. I will probably try to delete preferences or something. If you find a fix or if anyone else knows of a fix, I would very much appreciate it. By the way, I am running iTunes on a 15" MBPro and running the latest OS update. Wondering what computer you are running it on. Good luck. I will post back if I figure out a fix.

Did latest security update, now emac won't start

Hello, please help. I'm only have one mac, so I'm desperate. I have an emac running os 10.4. I just performed the latest security update (and itunes and quicktime) now the mac won't start. I get to the apple logo and the spinning/loading icon and it stays there forever. I started from my original disc and did a disc utility check, and everything is allright with the hard drive. It was working perfectly until I installed the update and did the required restart!

Hi OneDayMatt, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I agree, but 3 points...
#1, When was the last time you saw truth in advertising?
#2, I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.
#3, Being in the Right in an accident may not be all you can do to save your behind!

Just did software update, now mail won't open!!

I just ran a software update and now may mail application won't open. These are the five updates that I installed:
Backup 3.1.1
iPhoto 6.0.6
Airport Base Station 5.1
iTunes 7.2
Mac OSX Update Combined (PowerPC) 10.4.10
I don't think I needed to install that last one, about the Power PC....Anyone know if that is enough to keep my Mail App. from openenig? I can still check my e-mail via .Mac, just not through my Mail Appliacation.

Did you download the correct Combo for PPC, since it
appears you do not have an Intel Mac?
If the correct Combo version, then I think you should
run Disk Repair from the original Tiger install disk
to check out your hard drive.
How much free disk space do you have on your hard
drive, or if partitioned, on the boot partition?
Ernie
Ernie,
thanks for the suggestions. I'm not quite the Mac expert I'd like to be, so bear with me please. How do I know if I downloaded "the correct Combo for PPC, since it appears you do not have an Intel Mac?" Wouldn't my computer automatically download the correct one? How can I check if it's the right one? ALSO,
How do I "run Disk Repair from the original Tiger install disk to check out your hard drive"? Do I need to insert the original startup disk again, or can I do it without it?
When doing info on my mac, it says I only have 6.1 GB left available. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!!
