Photoshop CS2 coercion error on Intel mac

I am testing on 2 machines, one intel, one ppc (g5). On the intel machine I can't get this code to run. It keeps erroring saying it doesn't understand percent and pixels?
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS2"
set kScaleFactor to 75 as percent
set kResolution to 120 as pixels
set kResponse to resize image kDocRef width kScaleFactor height kScaleFactor resolution kResolution resample method bicubic
end tell
Any ideas? I think I had a problem similar years back, but I don't recall the fix.

I get a similar error message whenever I start up any program with a GUI, using either Java 1.4.2 or 1.5 JVM on any Mac (G5, 12" Powerbook, G4 power mac) running Tiger. I cannot remember when the messages started or what they mean. However, regardless of the error, the programs run fine for the most part. So it is not specific to the MBP (or Intel-based) Mac. I just bought an MBP today and have just started getting it configured.
p.s. I have had one problem with Java programs on OS/X since upgrading to Tiger last year. I never experienced this problem on OS/X before Tiger and it has never been a problem on Linux. Seemingly randomly,when I am running a program for many hours, the JVM dies with only O/S type messages. Sometimes the messages is "bus error", most of the time the errors in the log file are obscure references to the underlying JVM code (i.e. Objective C???). This happens both with commercial Java programs and ones I write myself. For example, if I am processing thousands of files for import into a relational database, the program will fail over and over again, but at a different point in the data and a different point in the processing of that data. The only common pattern is that the problem occurs after many hours (many of my programs run for 12-40 hours). My solution thus far has been to develop on OS/X but do long runs on Linux. I've tried reporting it as a bug to Apple - but it's difficult to send a large body of code and a large relational database to Apple, particularly when, in any case, the problem will be hard to replicate. The one common thread is that all the Java programs that die in this way are using JDBC. Something changed with Tiger.

Error: "Could not complete your request because of a program error" (photoshop CS2 9.0.2 on MAC OSX

Today I started my program (photoshop CS2 9.0.2) and opened a JPG file. When I went to print the file the program crashed and closed. When I restarted the program and went to open the file I got this error message, "Could not complete your request because of a program error".
I have tried several different file types/sizes and all result in the same error message since the program crashed. It will not open any file I try to open. As I indicated above I am using Photoshop CS2 9.0.2 it is on a MAC with OSX 10.4.11.
I called Adobe and the Rep directed me to Tech Note 331307 and told me to Re-create the Photoshop preferences files. Which I did and restarted the program, but when I tried to open a file (any file) I still get the same error message so it doesn't appear to be the preferences.
Does anyone have any info as to what the problem may be and how to correct it.
Thanks

Thanks for the response. OK... This is the first day I have been able to get back to the problem.
My system I am running Photoshop on is a Power Mac G4, AGP Graphics ATY Rage 128Pro chip set 16MB VRAM LCD 1280x1024 32-bit color, 500MHz, 1.75GB of memory, 1 MB L2 Cache, 100 MHz Bus Speed. I had installed the latest security update and repaired the permissions the day the problem started.
Now to day I started the system and went in and created a Guest Account. I logged into the guest account and started Photoshop. Low and behold it worked just fine. So I logged out of guest and logged into my main user account And started Photoshop. Wouldn't you know it.... It works just fine. I can open any file I want with now problems.
I got to thinking after I had done all of this that I wished I had tried to open a file in Photoshop today prior to creating the guest account to see if it still had the problem in my main user account.
I did not change anything else on the system and all seems to work fine now. So at his point I am really not sure what the problem was.
Again thanks for taking the time to respond to this issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

See the Adobe Knowledge Base document"Error 'Could not complete your request...' or 'Could not create a new document...' (Photoshop CS2 on Mac OS X v10.4)"
I suggest whenever you have problems with third-party applications, the first place to start troubleshooting is with the application's documentation, then vendor's web site. Usually their sites have FAQs, lists of known bugs, or application-specific forums similar to these Discussions. Sometimes, unlike the Apple Discussions, the questions are even answered by employees of the vendor.

PhotoShop CS2 "Program Error" when printing

I am posting this to the Adobe Forums as well, but thought someone here might have some ideas. am having an intermittent problem printing from PhotoShop CS2 to an Epson 9800. When printing large files (200 MB average) to the Epson, PhotoShop will spool the job, taking about 50% longer than normal, and when complete, displays the following message..."The file XXXX.tif could not be printed because of a program error" No job ever gets to the print que. This happens about 80% of the time when printing. Quitting and restarting PhotoShop generally fixes the problem, and the file can be printed from another computer without issue, so this is not file specific. I have 8GB of RAM installed and PhotoShop running under 100% available memory, cache level at 8, with a dedicated 180GB scratch disk. Memory should NOT be the problem, though I do often have the full layered version of the file open in the background (I am printing from a flattened copy. I have observed that the problem is less likely to occur if no other files are open. I have a second G5 with the exact same software setup (OS, Print Driver and PhotoShop down to the decimal version #) that works perfectly every time. I have run all of the System utilities (Repair Permissions, FSCK, etc), reset the OSX printing system, reset PS preferences, trashed and re installed CS, as well as the Epson printer driver, all with no success. Any other trouble shooting ideas would be greatly appreciated. I would love to avoid a System reinstall.

Adobe Photoshop CS2 Installing Error

When I tried to Install for tryout version, it sometimes has an error. It says me to put the serial number in. Though it succeed it, it says like this : "Error 1311. Source file not found: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Photoshop_CS2_tryout\Photoshop CS2\Adobe(R) Photoshop(R) CS2\Data1.cab. Verify that the file exits and that you can access it.".
I verified that the file exits, and I could acces it. What is happening?!

Hi ,
We really apologize for all the inconvenience which has caused you.
Simply put it in another folder. The path is too long and unnecessarily convoluted - folders inside folders inside folders....
In the meanwhile if these steps doesnt resolve your issues you can contact Adobe support by following the link below:

Photoshop CS2 Trial Install Crash on Mac Pro

Well, I've seen the benchmark sites running Photoshop CS2 on a Mac Pro, but when I try to install the trial version, it crashs during the install process. I tried re-installing Mac OS X and re-installing Photoshop first thing, but with the same result.
A search only brought up a previously known issue with QuickTime 7.1, but the fix was to update to 7.1.1 - since my install has QT 7.1.2 this doesn't seem applicable.
Doom3 is the only other Rosetta app I've tried, and it runs fine - heck, I didn't even initially realize that the demo is the PPC-only version.
Has anyone else gotten it successfully installed? I don't want to spring out the cash for the full thing until I know it works (and I want to test out the Kodak Digital ROC plug-in to make sure it works as well.)
(I'm asking here since my lack of search results leads me to think it might be Mac Pro specific.)
Take care,
P.M.
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7) (2.66/160GB/7300GT/2GB/BT + 250GB PATA drive)

This worked for me....
Restart
During restart, hold Ctrl + Command + P + R to reset the PRAM
After this, the computer will flash and reboot again and should boot into the Mountain Lion Installer.
Good luck.

I can't download Photoshop CS2 on MacBook Air running Mac OS X

So yeah, i've got troubles downloading Photoshop CS2. It's free, i belive. I have MacBook Air, and it just dont work. Idk what to do.

Aside from the legal issue pointed out by Mr. Murphy, CS2 is simply not compatible with contemporary Macs and versions of OSX and that is that. you are wasting your time chasing a free lunch that you can't eat.

InDesign CS3 pstopdffilter Printing Error on Intel Mac

I'm having a problem printing in InDesign, now that I've upgraded to CS3. I've uninstalled all Adobe products and reinstalled, and I was able to print, but had a printer error on another printer, and now I am having the same "pstopdffilter" error as before. I'd rather not have to keep un-installing and re-installing to fix it. Is there any thing else I can do?
It is a Intel iMac, running OS X (10.4.9). Haven't had this problem with our older G4 and CS3.
Any suggestions?

If the same printer works as expected printing from the same application on a newer version of the operating system, then it sounds like the necessary solution is to upgrade the operating system. InDesign, along with other Adobe Graphics Manager (AGM) Print clients (Illustrator CS3+ and Acrobat 9+), tend to use Apple's print interfaces in ways that are more complicated than most other applications. So you may see a problem only in InDesign, but the issue may be addressed by changes in the OS print architecture. In addition, specific printers interact with the OS print architecture differently. Some printers still in use do not use CUPS-based drivers, thus requiring an additional translation layer. It's all very complicated</understandment>.
Also, printers that are identified as PostScript devices will not allow the Print as Bitmap option to be chosen. That function uses the Mac non-PS print methods.
Sincerely,
Matthew

Netbeans - java error on intel mac - please help me

Hello!
I imagine it may not be the right place for this post, maybe I should ask on some java forums, but it occured on my MBP, so I don't know what can cause the problem.
The thing is: I wrote some apps in netbeans for linux and now I copied them to my MBP to continue developing.
They work just fine, but during startup I get an error message:
"2006-04-29 13:21:43.787 java[749] CFLog (0): CFMessagePort: bootstrap_register(): failed 1103 (0x44f), port = 0x10b03, name = 'java.ServiceProvider'
See /usr/include/servers/bootstrap_defs.h for the error codes.
2006-04-29 13:21:43.787 java[749] CFLog (99): CFMessagePortCreateLocal(): failed to name Mach port (java.ServiceProvider)"
I didn't have this problem before, so I guess it's some MAC-NETBEANS issue, can anyone help me?

Exchanging Photoshop CS2 for Windows to a Mac version

I have switched to a Mac computer and can't afford to buy a new version of Photoshop. I have heard that Adobe will do a one time "trade" of my windows version of CS2 to a similar version for the Mac.Anyone familiar with this?
thanks

Photoshop CS2 Registry Error

Cleaning ou tmy registry recently, I discovered that photoshop is leaving entries in the registry for every file I edit. These are "recent" file entires, but instead of deleting any more than ten, it is keeping them all!!! It does it every time you edit the file too. This means that I cleared out some 5000 registry entries that photoshop had failed to remove. Thing is that because they come under the type "file path problems", not all registry editors will even see them.
Has anyone found a solution to this problem?

how about some specific keys?

Adobe photoshop elements2 on intel mac

I installed photoshop elements 2 to my intel mac & when I try to print (Epson photo 1290) a pop up message appears saying ' some PostScript specific print settings (emulsion, interpolation, calibration, encoding) will be ignored since you are printing to a non postscript printer'.
I have no idea what that means apart from more trouble from my intel mac since the programme worked perfectly well for years on my G4 imac.
The photos print but the darks come out too dark even when I increase brightness.
Any ideas?
btw I installed PE2 until version 4 comes out for mac.
Any help gratefully received

imac intel Mac OS X (10.4.1)
imac intel Mac OS X (10.4.1)

This message is not a "problem." You will always see
that message with any version of PS/PE when you print
to an ink jet printer. It just means that there is
some info, like emulsion, etc. that is not relevant
to your inkjet printer.
It sounds like you need to 1. calibrate your monitor,
2. make sure your images and your working space in PE
are the same (ie, that you are not working on sRGB
jpegs in the Adobe RGB color space), 3. Make sure
that you are not doing double color management for
printing (ie have PE set up to color manage your
printing and then telling your print driver to do the
color management, too.)
Thanks Barbara
I had never encountered the message on my G4 with OS9 so glad to know it's not that significant. The printer dialogue boxes I'm getting with OSX are different too & the only way I can select different papers is through 'more options' in the preview dialogue box & selecting color management. This presumably is what you said I shouldn't do! Also utilities(for checking ink status etc) doesnt appear at the top of the print dialogue box like it used to & I can only get that by going to applications/utilities printer setup page which seems a bit longwinded. My printer appears on the ok list that Epson put out about intel compatability so I'm still a bit confused about what to expect as I'm not familiar with OSX.
Regards

Photoshop CS2 crashes when trying to print

I need some help with Photoshop 9.02 on an Intel Mac running OSX 10.5. When I try to print from the application it crashes to the desktop. I have tried removing and reinstall the printer, updating the drivers, and even removing photoshop and reinstalling it. The printer is a BizHub Pro C500, every other application(Illustrator, Quark. MS Office 08, etc) prints to it without any issues. I can print from adobe if I choose another printer. There are four Macs here, and this is the only only that this is happening on. Any help, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

CS2 in
Leopard is not supported. your best bet is to figure out what the differences between the machines that work and yours.
have you made a new user and tried printing from that?

Photoshop CS2 will not get beyond initialisation anymore

I am using (or was) Photoshop CS2
Win XP Home
Intel 4 3.06 Ghz processor
2GB RAM
Nvidea GeForce FX Go5100 video card 128Mb, IRQ 16, BIOS 4.34.20.85.08
Packard Bell easynote H5
After updating Nvidea drivers when I load Photoshop after starting initiation sequence I get error,
"Unable to continue because of a hardware or system error. Sorry, but this error is unrecoverable.'
press enter and it crashes. ( This may have been the first time I tried CS2 for a while so may not be relevant.)
I rolled back the drivers made no difference
I checked fonts for errors and fully cleaned these up
Elements and everything else works just fine.
End of tether, please help

I have run disk checks all come up clear, I've virus checked and minor issues only, the disc is a only few months old and performs well. All other programs run very well. Elements runs fine. I have de fragged, I've run surface checks and run the Acronis alignment tool on the disc which is Samsung.
The Disc is partitioned with plenty of space on all partitions.
I run AV's, Proshow. pictures2exe as I'm into photography. had I not started up Photoshop I would never have seen anything to be of concern.
I am reluctant to re-install everything unless I can be sure that it will work at the end of it.
As you can tell I did a fair bit of work before coming to the forum.

Can not install photoshop CS2 on Mac OSX. 10.9.5, It shows "error" no error number, suggest to contact the software supplier, only choice is to quit.

I tried to install Photoshop CS2 on Mac, OSX, 10.9.5.
By the end of the installation, it shows, error, but no error number for reference,
The only choice is "quit".
Please help

That is correct Das_Sad. CS2 will not run on Intel based processors under Mac OS. You will need to find a Mac computer with a PowerPC processor if you wish to run Creative Suite 2.
