Photoshop CS2 issue after 0.4.6 update

I used software update to install the 10.4.6 update. was running 10.4.5 before that.
Photoshop now crashes after I save tifs/psds/dcs's. If i use save for web, it does not crash. The files that are saving when it crashes seem okay (good thing!) but it is annoying to have to keep opening, besides what internal damage this process is doing.
Anyone have a fix?
thanks,
brian

I am saving to a Appletalk-mounted volume.
When opening a file from said server, and saving to the desktop, it crashes, too.
When opening from the desktop and saving to the desktop, it does not crash. I guess I am being further forced from working off of the server : (
(I know that Adobe officially does NOT support saving over a network).
Thanks for your help

  • Photoshop CS2 Issues After Latest Secuirty Update

    I am working on a Power Mac G5 with Mac OSX 10.4 and Adobe CS2. I do not know if it was the security update that caused these problems in Photoshop for me, but that was the only thing that had been installed around the time that the problems started happening.
    The issue is that when I have the Move Tool and several layers in groups. When I have a layer inside one of the groups highlighted and I want to move it, suddenly PS selects the whole group and moves it as well. I have checked to see if there were any sort of links to the layers and there are not.
    It is a weird issue and since this is a work machine it is very important to get PS working again. At the moment I have to work on a Windows machine to get things done.
    Thanks for any help that you can give me.

    Eric,
    Mac OS X 10.4? Or 10.4.11? Or...?
    Before running the security update, did you repair permissions? Run DiskWarrior? Try resetting the tool preferences, and/or Photoshop preferences?

  • Photoshop CS2 crashes after Colormunki (X-Rite) update 1.1.1

    I have resolved this issue through the x-rite tech support (who called me back within 4 hours) but since I posted it on a different thread I wanted to share my experience.
    I am using cs2 with snow leopard (10.6.1) on a mac book pro 2,2 and immeditately after updating to colormunki photo 1.1.1, cs2 began crashing after "save as" and not saving with "too many windows open" messages.  It was also not able to save to preferences even if no image was opened.  Right after installing the update, I received a message that cs2 would have to be reinstalled, but I wasn't been able to get that message back.  I did actually reinstall cs2, but the problem persisted.  X-rite tech support told me to repair permissions and the problem has gone away.

    CS2 is not supported in 10.6.x If you had it running at some point you were lucky. Keep in mind you are running in Rosetta since CS2 is not Intel native. Do yourself a favor and get CS4

  • Iphone 5 issues after IOS 8.2 update: my husband's phone and my phone get the same phone calls ONLY when we are home.  Any suggestions on where to look to fix this?

    Iphone 5 issues after IOS 8.2 update: all the iphones in the house receive the same phone calls ONLY while we are at home.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    That is a new "feature" described in Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
    You can turn it off by going to Settings > FaceTime and changing "iPhone Cellular Calls" to off

  • Is there any fix for the bluetooth connectivity issue after most recent OS update?

    Seems to be a common problem particularly with bluetooth headseat connectivity. Any ideas?

    There is no bluetooth connectivity issue after the recent OS update. There may be a problem with your phone, which may or may not be related to the update. A "common problem" looks like this in the forums:
    I haven't seen any threads on BlueTooth with over 1.4 million views and over 12,000 replies, or even any vaguely close. For any problem that someone has there is bound to be someone else amoung 150 million users who have it. That doesn't make it a "common problem."
    If you tell us what the problem is specifically and what you have done so far to try to resolve it someone can probably help you.

  • Photoshop CS2 problems after updating to 10.4.5.?

    Anybody notice Photoshop CS problems after updating to 10.4.5.?

    Hello I had the same problem
    I found the following information that helped me.....
    Program errors occur when software conflicts arise due to an updated operating system. You can resolve these errors when you also update the driver software that causes the conflict or when you update the operating system. Program errors can also occur because of a damaged Photoshop preference file, or if there is a problem with a phone or internet connection. The Apple Disk Utility fixes file system errors that can also cause program errors.
    Error "Could not complete your request..." or "Could not create a new document..." (Photoshop CS2 on Mac OS X v10.4)
    Issue
    Adobe Photoshop CS2 returns one of the following error messages:
    "Could not complete your request because of a program error" when you try to open a file.
    "Could not create a new document because of a program error" when you try to create a new file.
    Solution 1:
    Install the most recent update to Mac OS.
    Solution 2:
    Re-create your preferences files.
    1. Hold CommandOptionShift when you start Photoshop.
    2. Click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
    Solution 3:
    Disconnect your Internet connection.
    To disconnect your Internet connection, do one of the following:
    If you are connected to the Internet via a telephone modem, then disconnect from the modem.
    If you are connected to the Internet via cable modem or DSL, then disconnect the ethernet cable from your computer.
    Solution 4:
    Use a disk repair utility.
    Restart your Mac in Single User mode and run fsck -fy . For more information about the fsck command, please visit the Apple website at http:/docs.info.apple.comarticle.html?artnum=106214 .
    Solution 5:
    Ensure that all your drivers are compatible with Mac OS X v10.4.
    Determine if your printer and video card (and any other peripherals you might have) are compatible with Mac OS X v10.4, and visit the manufacturers' websites to update the drivers.
    Solution 6:
    Re-create your printers in Mac OS X.
    To re-create your printers, first delete them and then add them again.
    To delete your printers:
    1. Open System Preferences from the Apple menu.
    2. Select Print & Fax, and click Printing.
    3. Select each printer in the list and click the delete key (the minus key).
    For instructions on how to add your printers again, see "Setting up to print to a printer" in Mac Help or search Help using the phrase "add a printer."
    The one that fixed it for me was solution 6 -- re-creating my printers
    I don't know why but it could be worth a try
    Good luck

  • Photoshop CS2 Error after Leopard Software Update

    After installing the software update to fix the Keychain and blah blah blah my PS CS2 will no longer allow me to do ANYTHING. I can open it up and run it, open a file I'm working on and if I try to do anything it gives me an error message saying: "Could not complete your request because of a program error"
    Any help? I really dont want to reinstall as it's an upgrade version and I'd have to reinstall CS again.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    First thing I would do is boot from the Leopard Install disk and use Disk Utility to Repair Disk and Repair Disk Permissions.
    If that doesn't work you might try deleting the PS CS2 preferences.
    Note: Adobe does not require you to re-install the previous version when installing upgrade software, you only have to enter the old serial number.

  • Photoshop CS2 crashes after MS Office install

    Hello everyone,
    I have been using Photoshop CS2 without any problems since I bought my new iMac a few months ago. I haven't used Photoshop for a week or so, and I am not sure if my last system update to 10.6.8 was before or after that pause in my Photoshop use. What I am sure of is that the day before yesterday I installed Microsoft Office for Mac 2011.
    Since yesterday Photoshop crashes like crazy: sometimes right on startup, sometimes when I do something like open a new document or whatever. I cannot find any systematics as to when Photoshop crashes, only that it usually crashes pretty quickly.
    Below is the latest crash report. I don't know if the others say the same. Can anyone understand what the reason for the crash is or even if it is related to the Office installation or bad fonts or ...?
    Thank you!!!

    This is an issue with Office 2011 not playing nice with Photoshop CS2. I've been using CS2 for several years, and currently under OS 10.5.6 (so it is NOT an OS 10.6.x issue). I've been very careful to keep permissions repaired etc. before & after any major install or update. Never, ever had any problem with CS2, none. A few weeks ago, I upgraded from Office Mac 2008 to 2011. Everything seemed fine with the Mac until the next time I used CS2 to scan some docs, but it started crashing for no apparent reason. I was about to try re-installing CS2 or even pay to upgrade to CS5 (CS2 is fine for my needs ... back when it worked). I'm glad I googled "office 2011 photoshop" and found this series of posts. qwertyboy's original post sounded as if I had written it! I hope the font thing is the fix ... however, that seems like the kind of problem that would have affected a Mac 20 years ago back in the dark ages of running OS 7, not a modern OS ... shame on MS software code people for not following Apple Developer guidelines for managing fonts or whatever. Thanks all for the good posts!
    PS: I need to comment on the crash report:
    "I say it's not Office because there isn't one reference to Office in the crash report. All are squarely Adobe PS."
    That's like saying it was Abe Lincoln's fault that he was assassinated because he didn't get out of the way of John Wilkes Booth's bullet; the evidence being that Lincoln's blood was all over the place, but none of Booth's was found.

  • Photoshop CS2 issues

    I am having a couple issues with Photoshop CS2. I am running CS2 Std on a HP XW4400 stock system with XP Pro SP2 and all the latest updates. CS2 Std has had all the available product updates applied.
    What is happening is the following:
    1. Photoshop will randomly crash with a generic application failure message. This can happen while doing just about anything in Photoshop from opening a file to clicking on a tool. The windows event viewer lists a generic application hang.
    2. Placing a jpg will not always work, sometimes I get the "no supported filter" message and sometimes it works.
    3. Saving as anything other than a PSD, EPS, or PDF will crash the save dialog(sometimes Photoshop) sometimes it works. When it crashes the dialog sometimes trying to save immediately after will work.
    I have done tried the following to try to resolve the issue:
    Checked for new updates
    Checked for Adobe Knowledge base articles regarding the issues
    Ran hardware diagnostics for HD, and RAM. Did a disk check on XP Everything checked out OK
    repair install
    uninstall and reinstall
    uninstall removal of all registry entries and reinstall
    Format and reload of the entire OS, re-application of all patches, re-installation of CS2 and all patches
    My next try after the forum is likely several hours on the phone with Adobe support
    The issues occur with multiple files and filetypes in multiple network and local computer locations.
    Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

    Check your computer's memory using a utility such as Memtest 86+ (free download at www.memtest.org). If you see any errors at all, remove half of the memory sticks and re-test. Repeat until you have one module that tests clean, then add them back one at a time. If an error appears, mark the added module as bad, remove it, and replace with the remaining one(s) until all have been tested.
    If you have a Microsoft Mouse and Intellipoint software, try uninstalling Intellipoint. There was a known issue with this in CS3 but it may not apply to CS2.
    Crashes on my system were traced to bad memory and once fixed, it was rock-solid.

  • Photoshop CS2 issues & Customer Relation's solution

    i bought a g5 quad in June 06 that failed in july 06. they were unable to resolve the issue and gave me a replacement machine.
    i was given a mac pro with 4GB of RAM and a terabyte of internal storage. the 2 oem 500GB Seagate 7200.10 hard drives took over 9+ hours to zero out: the apple store genius told me this was normal. i have since purchased 2 different hard drives. one of the same capacity which zero's out in under 2 hours. that number IS normal.
    Adobe Photoshop CS2 Bridge and Camera RAW have never worked properly on this machine since i got it, quitting all the time when renaming files or browsing my hard drive folders in Bridge. i was told that this is normal and that CS3 and Leopard will fix all this. then the CS3 Beta came out and the machine quits even with the new version.
    i contacted Adobe, they say it is my hardware. i went to the apple store and showed them the problem and was able to duplicate it on every mac pro in their store and they said it must be a software issue.
    i bought more RAM from apple. the machine works somewhat better now, but it still crashes in photoshop and adobe camera raw and bridge. i purchased lightroom and have looked at changing my workflow, and this program too quits intermittently.
    i called apple customer support again. they walked me through using a different user account. same issues. i asked to speak to customer relations. i got on the phone with the lady, and i asked if it was possible to send someone out to look at the machine since it is not working properly, and she said that it is not something they would do since it is not their problem. i asked if they would be able to help me decipher the crash logs so i can find out WHY the machine is crashing.
    her exact words were, "well, maybe you can sell it? if it is giving you all these problems and since it is not our hardware, it might be best for you to sell it and buy something that works."
    "sell it." i would like to say that "sell it" was not the answer i was looking for. i wasn't even mean to her. i was extremely polite and i got, "sell it" from customer relations. i hope none of you get "sell it"
    good luck to all of you.

    You use to use Windows but decided to move to Macs at some point, and not look or go back. And that the Quad G5 worked up until some point.
    When I got my Mac Pro back in late August/early Sept, I ran into some oddities that no one could help me with. Drivers from Lexmark for their laser printers. Suffice to say that I spent weeks if not month trying to track down why etc. and doing the "clean install" but ended up with the original install disk image.
    I'm always afraid if I am forced to install any drivers for now as a result.
    I updated SoftRAID (I thought) and ran into every driver and extension conflict possible, known and unknown.
    Clean install and avoided anything I could "live without" this time around, and it was stable. For a few days, any and every - and I mean absolutely anything I tried to launch, run or whatnot would CRASH.
    I was ready to point fingers. But at whom? ah! must be the Ramjet. Passes all tests, but there must be a gremlin and nothing is good enough to find the cause.
    System is now rock solid and stable.
    I don't know really what or why. And whether it was SMC reset (I wish they would paint the button in RED!) or zapping PRAM/NVRAM.
    I also installed Vista to see if it was OS X or hardware or not. But I never learned what is needed to really use and secure a Windows system - or troubleshoot it if it goes haywire. But you would.
    I have spent 40+ yrs tinkering with computers, and 20 with Macs. I think I still remember some of the troubleshooting days from 1990 hunting down shareware bugs.
    If it is hardware, it would fail running XP too, maybe? did you retain your license for and copies of Windows and CS2 or whatever you would use? (The Mac Pro really shines running Windows Vista from what I've seen).
    It doesn't take a lot to turn a Mac into a crash-prone system. There are some bugs even with the OS update installer itself it seems.
    Troubleshooting is as much art as science. Hunches based on what feels wrong with some sweat and guesses backed by some "CSI" sleuthing and detective work.
    Only Apple or Intel would know if they have had to come out with re-designed chips, a newer motherboard, or cpus. Or the AMB used on the Risers.
    As I said (5 pages ago?) a friend had a G5 Quad that would not run CS2 properly, was crashing etc. (and had on-site Care etc) and the latest logicboard (3rd) stopped the problems, CS2 runs faster and better, it doesn't crash, and the benchmarks show it.
    There are revisions to logic-boards. I read it takes 3-6 months to get a pattern of a problem, and another 3-6 months to redesign parts, manufacturing, testing, between engineering prototypes and manufacturing.
    I thought the whole idea of AppleCare was sort of the "care" in AppleCare. And to solve a problem.
    It would take someone with access to what engineering errata is going on. What changes were made to G5s. There were other problems with Quad it seems as well, heat, the liquid cooling components (there are two varieties).
    I don't have the stomach or temper to deal with customer service, phones, etc. But I would make an appointment (yes, again!). I don't know what terms there are for small business or customers to get premium care, probably not good.
    We had a mainframe with a bad memory card or bank. We thought. We also swapped out every part trying to get it fixed. We even had to keep the room temp colder and controlled humidity. A new system for us would have been lower maintenance, lower energy bill, less strain on a/c even. And smaller (so we didn't need to use as much floor space). But government can be "penny wise and pound foolish" in such matters.
    I know you are just getting familiar with things like "Onyx" and "Disk Warrior" and such. Those can be helpful.
    Crashing does tend to lead to more crashes. Mac OS X is not immune to side effects of what they can do. And usually you want to finish a project, not get sidelined.
    I wish you had a G5 Quad in there. Two systems. Maybe two G5s even if you have the work or so you can be running CS2 on one and CS3 on another. Or have a techie "gearhead" come in and test and insure that your systems are in working order. Something.
    It ain't normal. And it should get more than a "brush off."

  • Is Photoshop CS2 free after all or no joy?

    Hello, ive been a long time photoshop user, i believe pre cs2, i imediatelly liked this piece of software since the first day i used it, it was easy to use, intuitive with a set of powerfull features that would speed up my image developments, i used it at school design classes and even 1 month at an ads printing company. At home i could definitly use it to create high quality sprites for my software and since i never really had 850€, once i stumbled across this information you can understand i was thrilled by it, i stumbled accross this info from a fb post, then read some other websites over a google search specyfing the same so i took the plunge and downloaded it.
    Now that i came here to triple check, im hinted it might not be free after all, could i please get a definitive answear by someone who works or represents adobe if this piece of software is indeed legal to be used free or not?
    Thank you for your time everyone.

  • How to fix photoshop CS2 work after install OS X lion

    after  update  to   OS X Lion  , i can't  use any software  such as  Photoshop Cs2 ,AI ,....  and  the  Autocad for Mac .anyone can help..

    Yes you will have to upgrade, But look at this from Adobe on compatability and consider carefully your options. Specifically droplets only work on CS5 for example. Also consider any plugins you might be using and there compaability.

  • IPad2 Issues after iOS 8.1 update

    iPad2 64g wifi + cellular -   very slow and non-responsive since iOS 8.1 update.  nonstandard Apps seem to be working fine.. it’s the standard item like photos and safari that don't  respond. 
    photos -  (which I use daily to show clients examples)  will freeze and kick me out back to the home page when trying to do anything from open a photo for viewing to trying to delete a photo. Edit.. forget it.   better off using an alternate app to edit a photo as it locks up and crashes every time.   I really need to be able to view the photos  on my iPad2
    safari -   good luck using any hyper link…. It doesn’t respond.   Even at Apple’s website.   Sometimes it crashes but most of the time it just ignores me like I haven’t touched the screen
    Overall - the touch screen is glitchy since the iOS 8.1 update.  It was slow after the iOS 8.0 update  but has become almost unusable after the 8.1 update.
    I cannot afford to purchase a new iPad.  And I really need to find a way to make this one work.
    I did read about how to restore to an older iOS version.   The only problems are all of my laptop is Windows based and the instructions assumed you had a Mac.   I did a backup to iTunes prior to the 8.0 update but I have also done backups since.   So I am not sure I have a “clean” iOS 7 backup.
    Any ideas would be appreciated   Thank you in advance for your help

    For the touch issues in Safari, does scrolling or zooming the page before you try to tap a link make it work again?  I've read a few posts that this may be a workaround for that issue.

  • Display Issue after 10.9.2 update

    After updating my Macbook Pro with Retina to 10.9.2 -- My display flickers for a second after sleep and or blank screen and then goes back to normal. Has anyone else been having display issues after updating?

    Yes similar problem here: I have a MacBook Pro, 15 inch Retina, Mid 2012, and when I connect a secondary display via HDMI (and also HDMI-to-Thunderbolt) then the external monitor becomes the main display.
    I have not figured out on  how to switch back to former settings. My guess: it's a bug. A quick search confirms that many others have secondary display issues since 10.9.2
    (Steve would have fired those lazy punks, who failed to do sincere testing before release …)
