Missing Adobe Application Support can't open...

I have Mac G4, running PS CS2 v9.0.2. I've just installed OS 10.4.11, now when I dbl. clk. a ps file it won't open and I get a message saying, "One or more files in Adobe App. Support folder are missing Please reinstall PS.
I found the topic in the forum and neither solution works for me.
Are there any other ways around this?
Thanks for any help.

Claude,
If you can open the files directly via the open file dialog box, then
the problem most likely is a file association problem. If you cannot
open the file directly, then you probably need to re-install. For the
most part postscript files should not be opened in Photoshop.

    Sounds like the well-known problem where you are missing the Adobe Type Unit file - which does disappear when dragging Photoshop from one machine to another.
    I have documented it here http://www.ninisworld.com/thecorner/tutorials/photoshopopen.html .
    The technote mentioned there does no longer exist at adobe.com (which keep rebuilding their site so links yiu have no longer work...).
    Try that (provided you are on a Mac). It is a 4K file.

  • Adobe application manager no longer opens.

    I've seen lots of posts about how peoples manager stopped working but when I read the post its about how it wont download. My is down loaded and has worked fine up till a month ago. Now I get icons on my PC that says I have updates and to launch my application manger but it wont open. I tried to uninstall and download again but my PC says I first have to close my desktop application manger. If I could open it I wouldn't need to remove it and try again.

    Please refer to the following links:

    Completely uninstall Adobe Application Manager
    Can't open Adobe Application Manager to update to CC
    Please let us know if it worked.

  • Missing files in Adobe application support CS5.1

    Why do I get this error message when I start CS5?
    One or more files in the Adobe Application Support folder, necessary for running Photoshop, are missing.  Please run the Photoshop installer and re-install Photoshop.
    New install on new iMac and worked fine until I uninstalled CS4 using uninstall app. Reinstalled CS5 but still happens. Any help would be appreciated.

    Unfortunately, the Adobe uninstallers have a habit of messing with newer versions, as often there's no way to distinguish old application support files from new ones.
    Ideally, you should uninstall older versions first if you don't want them on your computer, then install the new version.  I have Photoshop 7.0.1 through 11.0.2 happily coexisting on my machine.  I can even run two versions of Photoshop simultaneously, just by launching the older version first.

  • Adobe Application Support folder missing files

    When I start up my Photoshop CS5.1 on my Mac I get an Adobe Photoshop Screen that says "One or more files in the Adobe application Support folder, necessary for running Photoshop, are missing.  Please run the Photoshop installer and re-install Photoshop."
    I have done the reinstall but I still get this message.
    Thoughts?

    I just downloaded Yosemite operating system and my computer is extremely slow but also not opening my Adobe applications.  Can anyone help?  thanks!

    First, tell Apple about your problems... with details... and hope for an update that fixes your slowness
    Second, Yosemite sometimes has problems, often related to "default" permissions needing to be changed

  • Files missing from Adobe Applications support folder

    I now receive this message when starting Photoshop CC:  One or more files in the Adobe Applications Support folder, necessary for running Photoshop, are missing.  Please run the Photoshop installer and re-install Photoshop.  After looking through some older posts on this, it looks like there is a way to just replace the missing folder.  I need help on what is the most current and best way to fix this problem.  I am running an iMac with OS X 10.8.5.  I did just uninstall CS4 from my machine this morning.  I am not sure if this plays a roll.

    You said there was an error (indicating missing files and that you need to reinstall), then you say it crashes.  Well, which is it?  And if there is a crash, what does the detailed crash report say?

  • One or more files in the Adobe Application Support folder...

    Upon opening Photoshop CS5 I have the following message displayed on the screen. I have uninstalled and re-installed Photoshop but it did not make a difference., the message keeps showing up. It is getting annoying and I have no idea which files are missing. Anyone know how to fix this? I am copying the message here:
    One or more files in the Adobe Application Support folder, necessary for running Photoshop, are missing.  Please run the Photoshop installer and re-install Photoshop.

    It's not a systemic problem, no.  Photoshop CS5 can certainly run without an error message.
    Was it working without the error message on your system at one time?
    Have you made any changes to the files supplied as part of Photoshop?
    An uninstall (possibly via the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool) followed by a reinstall will probably get you working again.

  • Adobe Application Manager Won't Open and CC Desktop failed to install

    I am running Win 7 Ultimate. Adobe Application Manager Won't Open and CC Desktop failed to install on my computer after I signed up for Adobe CC tonight. I am currently using the CS5 suite (perpetual license) and do not want to uninstall any of the programs until I am successfully running the Adobe CC versions. The AAM gives me an error message saying that it failed to open when I select it, and the creative cloud installer fails to install. I have tried restarting my computer. Help? This is very frustrating. I am a student and use this software on a daily basis, and can't afford to not have these programs available when I need them.

  • Do I need to worry about Adobe Application Support Folder?

    Running Photoshop CS5 standard on Mac (snow leopard) on top of Photoshop CS4.  Ran into some problems with Adobe Bridge and thinking there might be a conflict between the two Photoshop versions I uninstalled Photoshop CS4 (apparently not smart).  Now on launching Photoshop CS5 a window appears with warning something like: missing files in Adobe Application Support Folder, use Photoshop installer to re-install PhotoshopCS5. Tech support tells me to deactivate Photoshop CS5 then uninstall it and reinstall from the Web where I downloaded it in the first place.
    Questions:  Should I care about this at all?  How about reinstalling Photoshop CS4 (I have the disc)?  Can I just download the Adobe Application Support Folder?
    I undated CS5 just now but it didn't fix the "problem".

    That is very sound advice.  Do it.

    Yes, unless you don't want to run any Adobe applications any more.
    luchiangelo wrote:

    It probably won't even let you install CS4 over CS5.  You would have to uninstall CS5 first.

    Nope; there's nowhere you could "download it" from.
    Just follow the advice of Tech Support.

  • Premiere Pro, Creative Cloud & Adobe Application Manager all wont open.

    One day it was fine, the next it's not. My Premiere Pro, Creative Cloud & Adobe Application Manager all wont open.
    No error messages, it just doesn't open. I can't get through to talk to staff (because why should you be able to right? You only pay for the service..)
    Could someone please shed some light on my situation?
    My Lightroom and Photoshop are running fine as normal. I wish I could provide more information but it's really that simple - none of it will open.
    Thank you!

    At this point, I think I'd just download & run the Adobe CC Cleaner app, and use it to uninstall & clean up your PrPro & the Creative Cloud desktop app itself ... then download a fresh copy of the CC desktop app, install & sign into your account, then download & reinstall PrPro ...

    You probably need to either uninstall and reinstall itunes or to download the apple application support by itself
    you can download the itunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/ here
    then to do a complete uninstall / reinstall follow these instructions http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    you could also use 7zip to extract the individual installer for apple application support from the itunes setup file http://www.7-zip.org

    Hi Dorothea,
    Please ensure that you are logged in to your system as administrator and anti-virus is disabled.
    Once you click to download Acrobat trial version, 'Adobe Download Assistant' application will start downloading.
    Then, run the application and then sign up with your Adobe ID credentials to download Acrobat pro XI from the available list of products.
    Let me know if you still face the problem and share the screenshot of the message.
    Hope to get your response.

  • Adobe reader XI can't open mp3 files in a pdf document- says the required decoder not installed

    Adobe reader XI can't open mp3 file links contained in a pdf - it says the required decoder is not installed
    please help!

    This is not a function of Reader, but that your computer does not seem to be configured to play mp3 files. Try fixing your file associations. The method of doing so depends upon your OS and it version number.
