No apps launch on new CS2 install

Hi all,
Hopefully I'll provide enough information. I recently installed CS2 to a new MacBook Pro 15". The MBPro was running CS without a problem and I was asked to upgrade to CS2 by a client.
On running the install for CS2 the installer fails the installation of SVG viewer 3.0 but otherwise runs without error. Once the installer is finished I attempted to run Photoshop CS2 and got the following error:
=======================================================
The Application Adobe Photoshop CS2 quit unexpectedly.
((current date and time))
EXC_CRASH (SIGTRAP)

4 spin_lock_wrapper + 1981
Ingnore Report... Relaunch
=======================================================
All CS2 applications give the same error on launch.
I have manually deleted all applications including my previous CS installation and all files listed in the Knowledge base article on troubleshooting installation problems and tried the install again. I have also attempted to download SVG viewer 3.0 from the adobe site and received an unknown installation error.
I ran disk permissions repair and disk repair with no change in status, the same error happens every time any CS2 app is launched including "Adobe Help Center"
My computer is a MacBookPro 15" OS X 10.5.6 2.5 GHz Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of RAM.

All this advice is very strange because while I appreciate that technology moves on, unfortunately at the current time I can not upgrade to CS4 or CS3. Also regardless of what you are saying my copy of CS (mostly Photoshop CS) worked flawlessly for the past six months until I tried to install CS2 yesterday.
Why CS2 would not be supported while CS works flawlessly I have no idea, and I also have no idea why now, after a restoration to my files and operating system from a time machine backup from before the CS2 install I can no longer launch my Photoshop CS and am getting an error of "Could not complete your request because certain required files were not found in the Adobe Photoshop CS Required folder."
Adobe's lack of support on this matter is both frustrating and infuriating as it means a $1000 plus purchase is not supported little more than two years after the purchase unless I want to spend another $800.
Their advice that I come get answers from the user community has resulted in this thread which so far has only told me that what I was doing was impossible and that what I want to do is not possible and I should spend more money.

  • IWork apps won't launch after new HD installed

    My hard drive was failing so all files were backed up to an external hard drive (don't know what method - the Mac store did it for me) then moved to the new hard drive. Now the iWork apps won't launch. Doesn't matter which account I use and makes no difference if I boot in Safe Mode. I've updated iWork and still no difference. The icon flashes a couple of times on the dock, then disappears. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    When you say you updated iWorks are you talking about the update a few days ago? How about just reinstalling the applications?

  • Install app on a new iPad

    I bought Keynote on an old computer with a different Apple ID.  I'd like to install the app on my new iPad without paying again.  How to do this?

    The only way is to log in to the App store with the same AppleID you used when you bought it.  Otherwise, you must buy it again - purchases are tied to the AppleID used when you buy them.
    Just launch the store app, scroll to the bottom of the screen to the account info, log out with the new AppleID and log back in with the old one and then install the app.

    I have been trying to install Photoshop CS6 & CC and Acrobat Pro XI on my Mac Pro (late 2013). I keep getting a 'configuration' error message and wondered if the problem was wide spread.
    TIA,

    Thanks, Martin.
    Good to hear someone has had success. The lack of it here is frustrating and depressing.

    Can the new pre installed apps in iPad 2. Like garage band, iMovie be sync back to i tune, and then sync these new apps from ipad2 to the old iPad 1?

    GB and iMovie pre installed?

    Click: Browser All Built In Apps
    iMovie and GB must be purchased.
    If you have installed GB and iMovie on the iPad 1 and synced using iTunes, just sync the those apps to the newer iPad with iTunes. No re purchase necessary with the same iTunes account.

  • What is the meaning, or significance, of the greyed out word "installed" next to the iBooks app icon in the iTunes list of apps on my new iPhone6, or slightly older iPad mini, retina display?

    What is the meaning, or significance, of the greyed out word “installed” next to the iBooks app icon in the iTunes lists of apps on my new iPhone6, or slightly older iPad mini, retina display?  Both devices have iOS8.0.2 installed.  Both are having problems downloading some books that had been purchased previously for other devices.  And, before installing iOS8, the full list of had been downloaded to the iPad mini with iOS7.
      Finding out what the greyed outness means may help me figure out how to get all my books loaded on both devices.  Any suggestions how to do that also would be appreciated.

    Thank you.  Your explanation of why the word "installed" is greyed out makes sense.  But that raises the further question of why then is it shown at all.  There are other apps on both devices that can not be removed,and they are just not shown.  This is the only app that has the greyed out "install" notation.  All of the other apps shown are either identified by "remove" meaning it is installed and can be removed; "install" meaning it is not installed but can be; or "update" meaning it has been replaced by a more current version which can be installed.
    All of the books that I want to install have been on an iPhone4 that was replaced by the iPhone6, and were on the iPad Mini with iOS7 before iOS8 was installed.  Installation of iOS8 on the iPad removed all of the books and only a few of them were later added by syncing with iTunes.  Since most of the books I am interested in are free or of small cost, I would be happy to delete all of them from iTunes and then reinstall the ones I want directly on the devices.  But I have not been able to delete them and when I try to install them on a device I am told that they already have been downloaded.  Very frustrating.

  • If I buy a new hard drive reinstall my OS and Adobe apps, will this count as installing on 2nd comp?

    If I buy a new hard drive, or format my current one and reinstall my OS and Adobe apps, will this count as installing on a 'second computer'? If so, how then do I go about ACTUALLY installing the apps on a second computer if I'm unable to 'de-register' the 'first' one because it was on an old hard drive?

    TheTx,
    Yes! you can simply go ahead and deactivate the product before wiping your hard drive. This would simply reset the counter back to 0 and you will be able to activate the product on the new machine as well .

  • Expanding Aperture Set-Up advice; Also is itafe to drag Aperture 2 App to my new (2nd) boot drive in M Pro or best to re-install from original Aperture disc?

      1) Both Boot drives in my M Pro are Leopard. Also same - drag or install question with respect to iPhoto, etc apps from the old boot's Applications folder or from the Applic'ns Install DVD... ?
       2) Also, my overall plan is to retire the old boot drive soon, keep the 120 gb ssd lean, store recent  libraries in other Mac Pro drives with external back-ups in form of 2 vaults per library plus 2 copies of masters, with 1 of each off-site; plus Time Machine in external for non-photo related. Have pretty close to 900 GB of photos,  700 GB of Libraries, all managed ( thinking I better do some serious deleting!) and double that in Vaults.  After leaving a 20% margin, I'lll have 2 TB internal storage and 3.2 Tb in 1  good, new OWC external. It's been suggested I partition it in 3 sections: 1)  Time Machine, 2) storage, 3) a bootable clone of the (boot drive?) here I'm out of my depth, as you probably already knew! I'd appreciate any advice at all, especially about the bewildering number of RAID solutions, and especially keeping cost in mind - wish I could afford the Maserati solution!
       Thanks for your interest and help!

    Just a short note on the installation:
    Pro apps like Aperture cannot be installed by copying; you will have to run the installer from the original installation media, and I'd also install the iLife apps this way.
    The answer to your question with respect to the best choice of disks I'll leave to our hardware experts; if you browse this forum you will find some recent discussions on the best disk solution to be used with Aperture.
    One thought so. You are planning to partition your drive to use to partitions for backup: Time Machine and clone. This will allow you to restore your images in case of accidental deletion or other software errors, but it will not help, if your drive fails - and drives will fail some day. It would give you a much better protection, if your backups were on separate drives.

  • New App Launcher Suite Bar in 365: what CSS styles affect the background color?

    There is a new suite bar in O365. What CSS styles affect the background color of the bar, app launcher button and the Office 365 text in SharePoint Online? I want to hide Office 365 text and add my logo there.

    Hi,
    Per my understanding, you might want to change the style of the suite bar and replace the “Office 365” text with your custom logo image.
    In Office 365 admin page, we can customize the theme of the suite bar for the whole :
    However, as there is no such option can replace the “Office 365” text with a custom icon there, a workaround is that we can use some custom JavaScript to modify the
    corresponding HTML source code to display the icon dynamically after the page loaded.
    After applying the code snippet below into the master page:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    _spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("ready");
    function ready() {
    var logo = document.querySelector("#O365_MainLink_Logo");
    var s = '<img style="max-height: 27px" alt="logo" src="/_layouts/15/images/siteIcon.png?rev=38">';
    logo.innerHTML = s;
    </script>
    Every time when users open a page in this site, this custom code will be executed, the “Office 365” text will be replaced by a custom icon:
    More information about how to add custom code into master page(similar in SharePoint 2013):
    http://techtrainingnotes.blogspot.com/2012/05/adding-javascript-and-css-to-sharepoint.html
    What’s more, if doing in this way, we can only replace the “Office 365” text with a custom icon in Office 365 SharePoint Online sites, not the whole Office 365, this
    is a fact that you might want to know. For about how to replace that text for the whole organization, I suggest you open another thread in Office 365 forum, you will get more help and confirmed answers there.
