Need help! CS2 will not open anymore.

I had just installed Snow Leapord on my MacBook Pro and I am trying to open Ai2 on my desktop or any of my applications will not open. This is the error message I get "You can't open the application "Adobe Illustrator CS2" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported". Any suggestions?N

It means what it says. It doesn't work on intel-based Macs.

  • In trouble - need help: FCPX will not open - prompts CRASH report

    Tonight, 7:15pm MTN, I closed FCPX upon a short range (single connected clip) wasn't rendering.  It played perfectly, and I simply wanted to get rid of the red line above the project timeline over the clip, but nothing I did to render that section or the entire piece would remove the red/orange line above the clip, so I closed FCPX and re-booted my 12-core.  Once it rebooted, I was unable to launch FCPX - either by clicking the icon on the dock or by selecting the project in the FCPX library.
    Prior to the issue, I did the most recent software update which was for Safari 7.1
    The only other detail is that the project I was working on had to be updated which went relatively OK except I had to re-kink media.
    What is going on?  Is anyone else suddenly unable to launch FCPX?
    I am on 10.1.3 / running OSX 10.9.5.  I'm at work, so I'm on the 12-core (2 x 2.66 GHz 6-core Intel Xeon, 32GB 1333 MHz DDR3, ATI Radeon 5770, 250GB SSD, and a hardware RAID controller which addresses a 42TB SAS RAID (media drive).
    Help, please help.  -Stephen

    Tom - Thanks very much - that was shocking.  I searched this forum for recent issues wondering if the Safari update had anything to do with this - I haven't experienced anything like this in months - and when I read all the 10.1.3 worries and posts, I was surprised - I had no issues updating to 10.1.3.
    I saw Russ' post on holding down option/Command and tried it (just as you have advised) and it worked although it opened a single project I didn't recognize and then I closed it and opened my recent project and it's off to compressor now.
    I am very thankful to you and to this forum for your help!  I was going to say "you cannot imagine the pressure I'm under..." but that's BS - you of all people are probably extremely familiar with deadlines and workloads.  Steve Martin (MacBreak Studio) described us once as people who sit alone in a dark corner editing for endless hours, and his partner Mark Spencer laughed and said, "you've just described my life" and of course I was laughing too - he also described mine.
    Anyway, I'm trying to say that your quick reply is like seeing land after days of floating in the ocean!  Thank you for your constant presence and support Tom.

  • Need help, Photoshop Elements 11 will not open anymore.

    I have Photoshop Elements 11 and will not open anymore, it hangs up on initial window with credits & version info. I tried everything I can think of, shutting down all the background programs, windows update, uninstalling & reinstalling the Photosphop. I am able to open the Adobe Photoshop Editor and I even updated the Adobe from Editor to see if that would help but no luck. Anyone have any ideas?

    You say:
    it hangs up on initial window
    but then:
    I am able to open the Adobe Photoshop Editor
    Does this mean the problem is with the organizer? If so, hold down the shift key when starting it and try creating a new catalog in the catalog manager that should open. If that works, go back to file>manage catalogs and try repairing and optimizing your real catalog.

  • Word will not open anymore after update

    Word will not open anymore after update

    Hold down the Shift key when launching Word.
    If that fails, try deleting this file.
    ~/Library/Saved Application State/com.microsoft.Word.savedState
    Log out under the Apple in the Menu bar.
    Log In and launch Word.
    Still failing...
    If Word failed to launch in Guest, then you need to re-install Office.
    Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 14.4.1 Update (If you have an early installer you'll first need to update to 14.1.0)
    Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 14.4.2 Update (requires 14.1.0 to be installed)
    Important to restart after each updater.

  • CS2 will not open. Greeted with "Your Adobe Photoshop user name...

    CS2 will not open. Greeted with message "Your Adobe Photoshop user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid. The application cannot continue and must now exit." I click OK and PS closes. I've been using this regestered copy on this PC (running Vista 32) for years (daily or at least weekly) without problem until today. Any ideas on how I can get it working again? I have disc somewhere? Thank you.

    Unfortunately your cs2 disc is no good except for the things such as the goodies or extras that came on the cd, because adobe disabled the activation servers for cs2 products.
    You can try this:
    (in other words something removed the info from the windows registry)
    http://web.archive.org/web/20120325044452/http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/error-user-n ame-organization-or.html
    More than likely though, you'll have reinstall photoshop cs2 using the new non activating installer.
    Use just the photoshop cs2 download and serial on that page.

  • Encoder crashes and will not open anymore

    I have worked on encoder, trying out some new codecs (cineform) - I had a crash and since then, encoder will not open anymore.
    Is there a way to trash the prefs? I can only find the plist, is there anything else?
    Thanks!

    I'm not at Mac atm to check the correct path but I believe they are in Library/Preferences folder.
    Drag the AME settings folder to the Trash.
    New Preferences files are created the next time you start the program.

  • CS2 Photoshop 'Adobe Help Center ' will not open

    Hi,
    I have been retouching ancient photos and need to use the help files.  I can successfully click on the help button and it will place a 'Adobe Help Center' button on my task bar, but it will not open.  I have used the help center before and had no problems with it.
    Thanks for any help.
    Magic4Mom

    Today I have tried to work through the instructions again for solving this problem.  I am working on the thought that something was corrupted.  These are the steps I took:
    Deleted the Photoshop_9.0_en-us.zip file that was in Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Help Center/AdobeHelpData/Packages.
    Downloaded the Photoshop help file "Photoshop_9.0_en-us.zip" and saved it directly to:  Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Help Center/AdobeHelpData/Packages.
    2. Delete the contents of the Cache folder (not the folder itself) in the following location:
    -- On Windows: Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Help Center/AdobeHelpData
    3. Delete the adobeassistance folder in the following location:
    -- On Windows: Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Help Center/AdobeHelpData/Database
    4. Manually launch the Adobe Help Center:
    -- On Windows: Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Help Center/ahc.exe
    I could watch the program install the components into the various folders.
    When I opened CS2 Photoshop and tried the help button, it again placed a button in the status line but would not open any files.
    I did note that the ahc.exe and the ahcremind.exe files were both listed next an icon that had a large question mark - ? - on it.  Does that question mark mean the exe command is nonfunctional or that it is a file for questions?
    If it means that the exe command is nonfunctional, how do I download a new exe file?  Do I have to delete the whole CS2 program and reinstall?
    Thanks for any answers.

  • HT1926 Itunes will not open anymore. I get a message that MSVCR80.dll is not installed. Help!

    My Itunes will not open. I've tried repairing it and uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • Itunes will not open anymore

    hey.
    im just wondering if any of you guys can help me out here.basically i had to update to the itunes 8 to make it compatabile with my new ipod touch.but even though it says its been downloaded it will not open and will come up with a message saying itunes has encountered a problem and needes to close and it gives me an option to send an error report,the same thing has happened to the quick player.
    also when i go to my documents the itunes icon is inside what looks like a cardboard box!!!!

    try these user tips:
    try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.
    and
    I found that the TSLicense plugin was causing the problem.
    From the log:
    PlugIn Path: /Library/Frameworks/TSLicense.framework/Versions/A/TSLicense
    PlugIn Identifier: net.telestream.license
    This pIugin is installed with the Flip4Mac Windows Media Components. I solved the problem by uninstalling the WM Components via the uninstaller at /Applications/Flip4Mac/Flip4Mac WMV Uninstaller.pkg, after which iTunes opens successfully.
    does any of that work ?

  • Photoshop CS2 will not open to double click in Snow Lepard

    Since loading Snow Leopard I have been unable to open Photoshop files with a double click. Double clicking .psd file opens PS with the message "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file." Right click "open with" gets the same result. I CAN open files through the file menu in PS. But, files opened via the file menu and saved as... will not open with a double click.
    The "Open with" in the file info window reads "Adobe Photoshop CS2". Even forcing it to open in Preview and then back to PS CS2, sort of like hitting it with a hammer, does not improve the situation.
    CS2 on and year old dual quad.
    Before you knee jerk a "CS2, what did you expect..." CS2 seems to work fine once open. And I have access to another brand new iMac 24" with CS2 and Snow Leopard that does not have this problem, files open with a double click.
    On my troubled machine the thousands of files in question opened yesterday, pre Snow Leopard. I have found a few PS files that are several years old that do open to a double click.
    Thoughts?

    In a partial answer to my own question...
    I have discovered that the Adobe CS2 files (as well as Illustrator CS2, Microsoft Office X, Silo, etc.) will open with a double click in some cases.
    Files on my main hard drive (Mac pro dual quad with four one terabyte hard drives, Snow Leopard 10.6.1) is a RAID made up of two of the internal terabyte hard drives will not open with a double clip. (They do open via the file menu in the given program).
    But files on non-RAID drives open with a double click as expected.
    It appears that the RAID drive (Apple software RAID) is the culprit.
    It is likely that a simple fix from Apple in the operating system to correct the opening of files with a double click from an Apple sotware RAID drive would solve the problem as the various programs all work fine otherwise with Snow Leopard 10.6.1.

  • HELP: MOTION WILL NOT OPEN!

    Ok heres what must of happened it was deleting some folders in the library and i must of deleted a FCS file accidentally, because after i did it i lost my registration to apple for my FCS apps and i lost quicktime pro. So i re-regestered with no problem. But then i go to open motion 3 and it will not open! it comes up with this: "The application Motion quit unexpectedly. This problem may have been caused by the Ozone plugin." Every single time!!! I reinstalled Motion (without the content part) and it still does it I have no clue what is the problem. All the other FCS apps work fine. i deleted preferences so i dont know what to do next. PLEASE HELP!

    It's easier for me to just point you here:

    but it's on my site where I also promote my books and training products so I have to provide this disclaimer:
