Photoshop CS5 on Yosemite

I have PS CS5 V 12.0.4. It no longer runs on my iMac after I upgraded to Yosemite. I downloaded and installed the Java version recommended to fix the problem, but had no effect. Error msg : 'An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred. Photoshop will now exit.' Any suggestions?

Let me know how it goes.

    I'm very sure you can, but as long as you have your discs and serial number, give it a try.

  • Upgrade compatible Adobe Photoshop CS5 with Yosemite?

    I have upgrade my MacPro to Yosemite and now Photoshop CS5 does not work.  Recommendations for compatible upgrade for CS5?

    Wow, I hadn't realized Adobe was going to keep the upgrade offer from Photoshop CS5 12.x to CS6 13.0 open after Photoshop CC 14.0 was released.

  • Cannot open Photoshop CS5 with Yosemite

    I was so upset when I couldn't open Photoshop. I then saw that I needed to upgrade to Legacy Java SE 6- I can't find it ANYWHERE. I upgraded to the latest Java from the Apple site, and it STILL won't allow Photoshop to open.
    Then IO read that someone said to re-install Photoshop - which I did. It STILL does not open.
    I am infuriated that Apple would let this upgrade to Yosemite go through without checking that Photoshop would work with the new OS. I am so angry- I am losing business every day that I can't open photoshop!
    If anyone has an answer to this problem, I will be forever in your debt.

    No, but it shows you the problem is on your side if it is working fine for others. It is not Apple's fault. Adobe had access to all beta releases of Yosemite to get their compatibility right, which, as far as I can see, they did. Perhaps you have other third part anti-virus or security or cleanup programs installed that are notorious for conflicting with a healthy Mac. You can try posting an etrecheck report for analysis as many others have done and solved their issues.

  • Is Photoshop CS5 compatible with Yosemite?

    Has anyone upgraded to Yosemite using the CS5 suite? Are there any compatibility issues with Photoshop CS5 and Yosemite?
    All the best,
    Ryan

    Seems the OS updater may be corrupting the installation of CS5.

    In the details it is mentioned that it is an outdated version of Java.
    Is this a security risk that i need to live with to get CS5 to run with Yosemite?
    Also i need to reject messages from Java in the future about updates, or not?
    thx for any input

  • Why photoshop cs5.5 won't open on yosemite?

    I have photoshop cs5.5 (installed on a macbook air running on yosemite), it had been working perfectly and suddenly it won't open. I get a message: "install flash player" (already done, as well as having installed the java se6 /2014 runtime and installed and uninstalled photoshop itself several times) but the only thing I see is that never-ending spinning color wheel. I've been through many threads and forums but haven't found a solution to it. It's worth mentioning that it only happens with photoshop, as i'm able to work fine with other adobe apps (illustrator, in design, bridge,etc)
    Does anyone know what might have happened and a possible solution?

    Without proper system info such as what Mac and what version of OSX nobody can say much and the logs from your Log Viewer would also help. Well, whatever. As a start run teh cleaner tool and reinstal lthe software.

  • Compatibility of photoshop cs5.1 with yosemite

    Is anyone else having an issue opening Adobe Photoshop cs5.1 in Yosemite.  I keep on getting this message and then it quits.
    I have had not problems before with it.  I have tried to find any updates or comments on Adobe's website but there is nothing as yet. 

    You need to reinstall Photoshop CS5 to replace files damaged by the MacOS 10.10 updater.
    Adobe is working with Apple to determine all the damaged files and come up with a quicker/easier solution - but reinstalling works for now.

    I’m using an iMac running Os X Yosemite, Photoshop CS5 Extended, R2880 Epson printer  In the Print Settings dialog box, I can’t select Color, Advanced BW or Grayscale unless I select “Printer Manages Color”. The pull down menu is grayed out. Even with “printer manages color” the tif or jpg image comes out in color overlaid with black. (See example - printer1. image on left is close to what it should be). Photoshop has no updates pending. I’ve downloaded the latest Epson driver which was working fine just before the problem occurred

    Is your Photoshop CS5 updated to 12.1?
    Are you on Yosemite 10.10.1 or Yosemite 10.10.2?
    Did you apply the recent Epson software 2.1.9 update?
    What type of file is it (file format)?  What bit depth and what color space?

    such as your platform (Mac or Win),

  • Please help: Photoshop CS5 - Yosemite locked permissions?

    Please I hope someone can help!
    I just updated my older iMac with Yosemite, and reinstalled Adobe CS 5. What a mess. Neither Illustrator or InDesign will launch. Photoshop will work, but has problems. (Thank God I've not touched my newer, main studio working iMac's OS, where CS5 still runs fine.)
    In trying to quit Photoshop (which won't respond to quitting and must be force-quit), I am getting the error message, "Could not save Preferences because the file is locked or you do not have necessary access privileges. Use the 'Get Info' command in the Finder to unlock the file or change permissions on the file of enclosing folders."
    I searched around and found what was sure to be a promising fix posted some time ago (see below, "Here's the Fix"), but the problem is, when I hold down Option > Go ... Library to navigate to the "Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings", the damned folder is actually EMPTY! There is no file to click on in order to get info on it! So I cannot even tamper with permissions. Ugh. It's bad enough the neither Illustrator nor InDesign will launch. What a sorry mess. I will not TOUCH my MacBook Pro laptop or main iMac. I will leave well enough alone. So glad I only messed with this one computer I rarely do anything on anymore. It could be that this is an old early 2009 iMac, sure, but I don't trust the new OS.
    Anyone encounter similar, and have any workaround? Thank you in advance!
    HERE'S THE FIX:
    Navigate to /Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings
    Select that file File>Get Info
    At the very bottom under permissions, hit the + icon.
    Add your user name from the list that pops up.
    Highlight the user just added.
    Click the gear icon to the right of the +/-
    Choose make owner.
    Click the gear icon again and choose apply to folder contents.
    Open Photoshop.
    That should do the trick!

    Have you tried saving as another layer-capable format, tif or psb?
    Is there anything notable about the files – extraordinary number of layers, size or whatever?
    Other than that have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, font validation, etc.)?
