Photoshop 5.1 Cannot Run on Lion

Hi,
I have installed Mac OS X Lion on my iMac. And I have tried to use Adobe CS5.5 Master Collection on my iMac.
THe installation is okay, but after installing the Master Collection, "The Adobe Photoshop 5.1 failed to run". An error message saying that "The following software does not support 'PowerPC'".
So what should I do now? Any way to make my Photoshop 5.1 run on the Lion?
Thanks.

Hi,
I ran the Spring Cleaning 11 for "rebuild Lanch Service Devices", and after that, my Photoshop 5.1 works!!!
I do not know why but it's very weird. Any body has a clue?
Btw, I had some problum running Spring Cleaning 11 on my Lion. It crashed many times when I was trying to "rebuild Lanch Services Devices". Any suggestions for making it work more smoothly?
Thanks.
Ed

  • HT1338 How can I upgrade to Lion?  My iMac cannot support Mountain Lion but I do not see Lion in the app store anymore.

    I want to upgrade my 2006imac with 3GB ram but mountain lion requires 4gb. Can I purchase mountain lion in the app store and it will install lion or will it just charge me $20 for an OS I can't use?

    A 2006 iMac cannot run Mountain Lion at all. Mountain Lion only requires 2 GB of RAM, but your model has a video controller which doesn't support features required by Mountain Lion, so Mountain Lion does not support your model. The earliest iMac which can run Lion is the mid 2007 model (aluminium body). A full list of supported models is available here.
    If you attempt to buy Mountain Lion in the App Store using your 2006 iMac, the sale will not proceed and you will get an error message saying you cannot purchase Mountain Lion because it is not compatible with your computer. You will not be charged.
    If you are currently running Snow Leopard and want to upgrade to Lion, but didn't already purchase Lion (e.g. for use on another computer), it is apparently possible to place a special order for Lion via a telephone call to Apple Customer Support. (I say "apparently" because there have been reports that Apple told some people this was the correct solution, but early attempts to place an order were refused with Apple Support claiming they weren't selling Lion at all. I think this was a temporary situation and it should be resolved by now.) There are links to support telephone numbers here.
    Apple will charge you the standard retail price for Lion (e.g. US$29.99 in the US) and supply you with a "redeem code" for the App Store. That is entered by going to the Featured category in the toolbar, and clicking Redeem under the Quick Links heading on the right side. Once your code is redeemed, Lion will be added to the list of purchases for your Apple ID, and you can download and install it.
    If you had already bought Lion for use on another computer, you can re-download it from the Purchases list in App Store, but there might be a couple of catches:
    1. Some people have found that Lion was added to their list of hidden purchases. You need to unhide it first. Do this by going to your Account page (under Quick Links, or "View My Account" under the Store menu in the menu bar). If you have hidden purchases, there will be a "View Hidden Purchases" link, and from there you can unhide Lion.
    2. If you are running Lion and want to redownload the installer on that computer, you may need to hold down the Option key when clicking on the Purchases heading in the toolbar, to enable the download button for Lion.

  • I have a imac 10.5.8 with 1 GB of memory. If i upgrade to 3 GB of memory will i then be able to run mountain lion ?

    I have a imac 10.5.8 with 1 GB of memory. If i upgrade to 3 GB of memory will i then be able to run mountain lion ?

    What year, CPU speed and screen size is your iMac?
    It appears as if it's one of the 2006 models that can only take up to 4 GBs of RAM, but only 3 GBs is recognized.
    3-4 GBs of RAM is really the working minimum amount for OS X, alone.
    The minimum iMac hardware spec for OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion is a mid 2007 model iMac.
    2006 models cannot run Mountain Lion, but can run OS X 10.7 Lion.
    If you have a mid 2007 or newer iMac, my advice would be to install, at least, either 6 or 8 GBs of RAM.
    OS X, by itself, to run smoothly,quickly and efficiently can use between 3-4 GBs of RAM leaving virtually no RAM for any additional applications.
    If you have an iMac that can take more than 8 GBs of RAM, think of installing more if you can afford it.
    Purchase reliable Mac RAM from online vendors Crucial or OWC (Other World Computing) also known as macsales.
    Good Luck!

  • Cannot Run Photoshop CS5 on SSD

    OS= MAC OS X Lion

    Problem description:
    I've tried either Apple or Adobe tech support for resolving my problem. Unfortunately, I still cannot resolve my issues. Look for anyone could help me out to solve my problem. Currently,I am not able to start photoshop on my SSD drive while HDD is my secondary drive. Anyone know the issue and how to resolve the problem.
    Let me describe how I set up my Mac Pro and how the problem happen.
    While I got my Mac Pro (only have one HDD), I install my CS5.5 and run photoshop. Everything just works fine. While I got my SSD, I make the SSD becomes a boot drive on the Mac PRO (the HDD was set to become a data drive now. Everything installed in the HDD was still there, and I don't remove any of CS5.5 application which was installed earlier). Then I start to install CS5.5 on SSD. The first time is ok to run photoshop. After open and close photoshop a few times, I start to run photoshop again. Then the error message occurred and the photoshop cannot run at all. The error message said "The photoshop cannot start because cannot find the temporary stored files. "
    Following is my testing and result
    1. I've tried to let either SSD or HDD as a single drive to start photoshop....No problem.
    2. HDD as a main drive and SSD as a data drive..... No problem to start photoshop from HDD
    3. SSD as a main drive and HDD as a data drive..... Error mesage and photoshop cannot run

  • I have a MBP running Mountain Lion. Tried to install Mavericks, but it keeps telling me that my disc is used as time machine backup, and cannot install Mavericks, any help appreciated

    I have a 2011 MBP running Mountain Lion. Tried to install Mavericks, but it keeps telling me " cannot install Mavericks because disc is used for Time Machine backup". I tried disabling TM by issuing the command in console " sudo tmutil disable local". Still no luck. Is there a way of erasing all the time machine backups from my system disc?
    Thanks.

    Thanks Matt. I tried erasing the "Backups.backupdb" folder. It does not allow me to do that, inspite of "sudo"-ing. I ended up installing Mavericks on another disc, and use disc migration assistant to transfer my data, before swapping out the old disc from the MBP.

  • PhotoShop Elements from the App Store cannot run actions??

    I am so upset that I spent $80 to download PhotoShop Elements 9 from the App Store and then found out that it cannot run actions and presets!!!! For some reason, the version of PSE that you get from the app store is not capable of this, which is the main reason I NEED and USE PhotoShop! Please tell me I am wrong and if so, how to fix it!!! I have them installed in the files correctly but they don't show up in PS. Thank you for any help you can provide, thanks!

    I just loaded my actions using the PSE 10 from the App Store.
    Close PSE.
    Access the System library location from Finder, Click menue, "Go" then select "Go to Folder...". Type in  "~/Library" and click Go.
    The systems Library will open up and then you take this path:
    Application Support > Adobe > Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor > Presets > Actions (The Actions folder is where you move your actions file to)
    Then go to the Photo Creations Folder > Locales > en_US and delete the MediaDatabase.db3 file (move it to the trash)
    The next time you launch PSE your Actions DB will be rebuilt with the new actions installed.

  • How can I transfer Photoshop CS5 from my macbook pro running Maverick to my iMac that is running Mountain Lion

    I have been trying to figure out how to transfer Photoshop CS5 from my Macbook Pro to the my iMac. The Macbook Pro was running Mountain Lion until I updated a few days ago to Maverick. The iMac is sill running Mountain Lion because when I went to update to Maverick it let me know that I would not be able to run Photoshop CS3. Under normal conditions I would not be concerned, but I don't have the Photoshop CS5 disk anymore to install it, so hence my problem.
    I tried backing up to time machine and that did not work, I tried a transfer using firewire and it transfer the problem but then when I try to open it on the iMac it is looking for the serial number.
    I would appreicate any help on resolving this.

    Hi landonw
    The HD will probably have to be removed from the MacBook Pro and connected to a USB adapter or placed in a dock to get your data off of it. I would take the MacBook Pro along, the folks at the Apple Store should be more than happy to help transfer your data to a new iMac.
    {quote:}All I am really concerned about is my iTunes database and my firefox profiles.{quote}
    What no BACKUP'
    To protect your data in the future, pickup a USB External HD +(for under a $100)+ and use Time Machine.

    I see Barney-15E made suggestions regarding Chrome preferences. There's also a setting on the Mac to deal with this. Regarding the drop-down menus not seeming to scroll through (such as a list of states)--where when you place or click your cursor over the drop-down menu and it only opens to some of the options in a list, I found that you have to change the scroll bar behavior in your computer's (and not the browser's) General Preferences within your System Preferences.
    Open System Preferences, and click on "General" inside the top row of "Personal Preferences" (as it is in my system with Mountain Lion, and I think prior operating systems before that).
    Once inside General Preferences, select the radio button option for your scroll bar which you'd like to use in the "Show scroll bar:" section ("Automatically based on mouse or trackpad," "When scrolling," or "Always." If you're using a mouse and not a trackpad, you'd probably want to select "Always" as it takes swiping over the drop-down list on the trackpad to enable (make visible) the scroll bar and/or scroll the list.
    Either with the installation of Mountain Lion, or the installation of my trackpad (I'm using a desktop iMac and not a Macbook / laptop) I found that the righthand scroll bars seem to automatically disappear. When I moused over or clicked on a drop-down menu (such as the list of states) I'd see only the first few options in the list. In order to access the rest of the states (get the list to scroll) you have to either have the scroll bar setting set to show "Always" or (if you have a trackpad) use the trackpad to swipe/scroll while hovering your cursor over the list's items to get it to scroll the list, and thus then show/reveal the lefthand scroll bar (which can then be accessed with your mouse if you prefer.
    This confused me at first when my scroll bars seemed to disappear, but was an easy fix.
    Hope that helps with that part of your issue.

    I have installed Lion and Microsoft Office 2011.  I want to uninstall Office 2004, but of course I cannot run the application to uninstall, because I get the "PowerPC applications are no longer supported" message.  Suggestions?

    Go to this microsoft site http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312172 and/or this microsoft site http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768.  I would suggest removing both to start with a clean slate.  I had some problems with installing Office for Mac 2011 over 2008 and found out that by completely removing both and starting from a clean slate provided the best solution.  Kappy is correct but some sniglets do get left behind.  Hope this helps.  Cheers.

  • I just moved my mobile me account to the cloud.  I can no longer sync iCal with my iMac running os 10.5 (this is an old iMac which cannot upgrade to Lion).

    I just moved my Mobile Me account to an iCloud account and can no longer sync between iCloud and this older iMac. I can post changes to my iCal on my other Mac's running OS Lion, but when I do so they don't appear on this computer in iCal.    I can't upgrade this iMac to an OS greater than 10.5

    Yes,that is the sad case, the only option other than a new Mac is to view iCal via Web on the older Mac & manually add changes to your old iCal.

  • Cannot run CD-ROM on LION.

    I had a TOEFL CD-ROM, which I use to run in Snow Leopard by doing an 'Auto Run'. But the 'Auto-Run' is now disabled in LION. Is there any way I can still run the disc in LION?

    Can you see that "autorun" file?  If so, select it and do a Finder File > Get Info.  If the "Kind" in the resulting window is "PowerPC", then it won't run under Lion.
