Photoshop Won't Work On OS X Lion

Hi,
I upgraded my (intel)iMac to OS X Lion.
I also installed Photoshop. After installing PS, it showed a message saying that PS does not support "PowerPC".
How do I make my Photoshop know that it's working on an "intel" based Mac?
Thanks.
Ed

What is the version of Photoshop? If it is a PPC application, it will not work on Lion - no matter what you try. No PPC apps work in Lion because the support for PPC apps has been dropped. I'd echo the other suggestion to keep a Snow Leopard partition to use such apps - I am doing that myself because I have a PPC app that will not work in Lion.
P.S. I just found the compatibility list for Lion:

Printer won't work after installing mountain lion?

printer won't work after installing mountain lion?

Assuming you've first checked Software Update to see if there are any updated drivers and it's still not working, you could try resetting the printing system.
System Preferences>Print & Scan, Control+Click or Right Click on a printer on the left and select 'reset printing system'. All printers will be deleted and need to be added again.

My Canon LIDE 600f won't work on my Mac Lion

I've downloaded a driver from Canon, and at someone else's suggetsion, a Canon toolbox, but: My Canon Scanner LIDE 600f won't work on my Mac Lion. Any ideas?

With the scanner driver installed and the scanner connected to the Mac, if you open System Preferences > Print & Scan, is the scanner shown in the list of devices? If not, are you able to add the scanner?
And if you open Image Capture located in Applications, does this show the 600F in its list and peform a scan if selected?

Canon MX 860 scanner won't work after installing Mt Lion

After upgrading my IMac to Mountain Lion v 10.8 my wireless Canon MX 860 scanner function won't work. The printer works. When I try to start the scanner either from the keyboard or the scanner I get an error message: MP Navigator EXquit unexpectedly.
I downloaded and reinstalled the scanner driver
mac-mx860-14_11_4a-ea8_2-1.dmg
and restarted and it still doesn't work.
any other suggestions?
thank you

You may also need to update MP Navigator to v2.1.3. If you are using an older version then trash that version before installing the latest version.

External drives won't work since upgrading to Lion.

This is a really frustrating problem. I have two portable external hard drives that have both ceased to work ever since I upgraded to 10.7. These are both used for large video files and I need them to work as they have some important stuff on them.
One is a 1TB WD MyPassport, USB connection.
The other is a 500GB Seagate FreeAgent, FireWire 800 connection.
The drives are both giving me the same weird phenomenon:
I plug them in, and they'll boot up--sometimes right away, sometimes after several minutes--but then they make my Finder worthless. The files won't preview in Cover Flow, and expanding a folder takes forever. When I try opening a video file in QuickTime, I end up with the beach ball of death. I try restarting the computer, but I can't even do that because "Finder (Not Responding)."
So I tried manually shutting down by holding down the power button. When I restarted the computer with the drive attached, the Finder wouldn't launch. The dock would appear, but no icons on my desktop whatsoever. When I unplug the drive, once again hold down the power button to shut down, and restart without the drive attached, everything boots up just fine.
If anyone has experienced this, please help ...

Open Disk Utility, select the external disk in the sidebar and verify the disk. If there's an issue with them, repair the disks

Su command won't work in MBA 2011 Lion 10.7.1

Hi All,
I have an iMac, 3 MBPs running Lion and Snow Leopard. In all of them, su command works just fine and of course I had no issues with them for many years.
I just bought a MBA 2011 and it came with Lion 10.7 which I updated to 10.7.1. The su command just simply refuses to work. It display 'su: sorry' as if I typed the wrong password.
1) I tried my own account password which is an administrator. Didn't work
2) Enable root account and set the password. Didn't work (I checked in my all other machine, don't need to enable root as the 'enable root' is still avaialable where as if it has been enabled only 'disable root' option will be displayed
3) Created another account (admin) also didn't work.
What did I miss here?

On the logs:
2:36:25 AM su: BAD SU (username) to root on /dev/ttys000
Just reformat my system and restore with fresh un-updated stock Lion, still the same issue.

Programs that rely on Java won't work since upgrade to Lion!!!

I opened a program yesterday after the I upgraded to Lion and a message box opened up stating that it would have to update Java for the program to work. The java update seemed to work but the program never opened. I tried to re open the program again and it appreared to start up and then it closed down. I restarted the computer but I got the same result. Any one know how to fix this?

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message. Clear the text field and scroll back in the log to that time. Post the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
Some personal information, such as the names of your files, may be included — edit that out, too, but don’t remove the context.

Iwork won't work after upgrading to Lion

Everytime I try to use an iwork app it doesnt load and a box pops up telling me to check if the app works on my os, does lion not support iwork 08.

iWork 08 is supposed to be Universal (meaning it runs on both powerPC and Intel), so it should work under Lion.
I also found a post googling that indicated the person had to reinstall iWork from the disks, but the problems didn't sound like the message you got.

Hello, my photoshop won't work, aftre four years of using it, it's asking for activation suddenly and i can't activate it through internet.

anyone please, I don't have access to internet all the time and is urgent that I fix this problem. Thank you very much for you help...

What version of Photoshop? What version operating system are you using and what error message do you get when you attempt to activate?
What I should ask, is it a laptop? You can go to a wifi cafe or any hotspot and activate through the Internet that way.

Time Machine won't work after installing Mountain Lion

After installing Mountain Lion, I am unable to restore a file from time machine. I click on the time machine icon. It shows the bakups, I click on a previous backup but the screen doesn't roll back to the date. It only shows the current files. Example: I am trying to restore an email that was lost. I try to do a restore and it shows emails up to today even though I am asking for a back-up from a month ago.
Bob

Sorry, but I'm still not sure what you're seeing.
Are you starting from Mail, per the blue box in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #15?
Are you trying to restore emails from a mailbox in the "On My Mac" section?
Do the older backups not appear in the TimeLine at all, or do they appear but are faded-out?
Posting a screenshot might help.

Photoshop elements 4.0 won't work

Adobe photoshop 4.0 won't work. After installing a hp scanner, I upgraded a driver for it and had problems. So I did a system restore for oct 2009 and now photoshop won't work.I fully uninstalled all my adobe programs except active x then reinstalled photoshop elements. I have had a series of errors including "error reading configuration file" and "adobe help cannot start model effor subsystem 1" I searched this and found the updated help file and installed that. So once I open adobe, i can pull a picture into it then it won't work. Every button I press just gives a ding sound.

You mean to say you are able to run but when you try opening any image it crashes. Can you try resetting the preferences:
Click on the EDITOR icon -- the quickly hold down CTRL+SHIFT+ALT keys, this will generate a dialogue box to delete settings.
try and let me know
-Garry

Photoshop cs6 won't work because of creative cloud

Hi everyone,
I bought indesign on february 2nd, and now my old photoshop won't work. I had photoshop CS6. They will not help me in chat and I cannot figure it out. I know there is a way to go into my desktop applications and change some code thing because this has happened before, but clearly I am totally clueless. Any assistance helps. Thanks.

Check your CS6 version. Creative cloud may have updated your CS6 to subscription version CS6 version 13.1.2. Where the Perpetual versions of CS6 are Mac version 13.0./6 Windows version 13.0.1.3 there are some differences between these versions.

I'm having all kinds of problems since loading Lion and I really wish I hadn't bought it yet. Even after the software update today, 1. my modem still won't work, 2. Photoshop Elements produces muddy photo prints, etc. Anybody at Apple listening?

10.7 was horrible unstable so I waited until 10.7.1 and tried it again. Well I have to say that it is still a defective OS. I am reverting to Snow as we speak from my carbon clone copy.. This is really the worst OSX I have ever used. It gives me random Kernel panics for no reasons, unstable airport and hundreds of small issues that are just not necessary. For instance I can't use QuickTime in Lion to trim a videoclip ( the UI goes mad and the trimslider becomes inoperable and hangs the Player window ) while in Snow it is no problem. Itunes gives me crackling sound when the equalizer is turned on, Graphical glitches in Photoshop, games crashing, Preview.app not working with some pdfs, so I need Adobes reader which I never used before.. It is definately not ripe for mass usage. Might 10.7.2 or 10.7.3 fix it, but not yet.
* and just for the records : the hardware is absoltely ok. Because in Snow it works as it should. ( So many Lion fanbois are talking : "your Ram is defect", defintely NOT. - Lion is defect! ).
Shame on you Apple.
