"This application adobe photoshop cs has unexpectedly quit" HELP!

Every time I try to open Photoshop CS it crashes and tells me that "This application adobe Photoshop CS has unexpectedly quit". I have used this application many times in the past but a few months ago it just stopped opening. I have tried deleting the application and preferences and re installing it several times but this has not made a difference.
Is there anything else I can try to get the application to open or am I better off buying an upgrade and which one? (I am running a Mac OS X 10.3.9 system on an eMac)

Well you can only buy one upgrade and that is CS3. the problem is it will not run on your system you need at least 10.4.8. the other problem is Apple stopped selling 10.4.x when they started shipping 10.5 and I don't believe it will work on your eMac.
Will Photoshop work in a new user?
have you run DiskWarrior?

My photoshop elements 8 no longer works...when I open an image in it, the application opens and then suddenly closes with the error message:"Adobe has detected that the application Adobe Photoshop eleents has unexpectedly quit"

Can anyone help me with the 'unexpectedly quit' error message I now get when opening an image in Photoshop elements 8?

If your product is Photoshop Elements, then you have posted in the wrong forum. Somehow your thread got posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing).
Please re-post your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum (probably quicker choice) or wait for a moderator here to see your thread here and then move it from here to there.

You cannot run Photoshop CS on a new Intel-based Mac running OS X Mavericks. CS is far too old.
You'll have to buy Photoshop CS6 or Photoshop Elements 12. Or subscribe to CC.

After have made my DVD movie everything is working, except for the burning of DVD, because when I press down the Burn button suddenly iDVD 4.0 crash and says " The application iDVD has unexpected quit".
Please is anybody there who can help me?

Hi Hugo
1. Do You have upgraded QuickTime to v.7 if not don't, else downgrade to
6.5.2
2. Do You have enough free space on Your hard disk eg 20Gb recommended
3. Do You start Your projects from within iMovie with the function
Share/Export to iDVD. I don't. I use the ref. movie in the project
folder/icon and close iMovie so that only iDVD is running
4. Do You do other thing during DVD-processing. Don't.

"The application ( insert name here ) has unexpectedly quit."

Hello,
Recently both Safari and iTunes frequently quit. With Safari, it will start up and open the home page, but quit when any link is clicked on. Restarting the computer has so far always corrected the problem, at least temporarily. With iTunes, it just goes part way through "Loading iTunes Library" and then quits. Once, it said it was importing iTunes Library, and then said the Library appeared to be damaged and would be called iTunes Library 2, damanged. Then it quit. So far, restarting does not help and I can't run iTunes at all.
Perhaps related, maybe not, there's 1 gigabite left on the hard drive, and often the message that the startup disc is almost full appears. I did get the list of things to safely delete from an earlier question posted, thanks, and have meant to do so, but have not yet. Also, when starting up, most of the time it chimes, but, sometimes it starts up without a chime.
I keep Software Update up to date. A recent update to iTunes deleted all our Playlists, but it had been running after that. We let our .mac run out, so, have not had Virex updated in about a year. In case it's a virus (?).
You know, when we had OS 9, there were so many problems that I was forced to get fairly good at troubleshooting and fixing things. Ever since OS X, there's almost never a problem (good), but the down side of that is, I don't know how to troubleshoot it anymore (bad).
Anyway, any suggestions are appreciated, thanks,

iMac Flat Panel Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hello,
Thanks. Running out of space was apparently one of the several problems I was having. I posted this summary of how things went on an earlier question, that was in the end related, all of it was related:
"Thanks for the good advice. You were right, I was down to just over 1 GB free space left, and performance had solwed down, and lots of strange problems were happening more and more frequently, in all applications. I did delete some old files, but, not a significant amount of space was generated from that. Disk Utility found problems which it said that it could not repair. I got a Western Digital external drive, dragged over stuff that I knew I wanted to protect, and attempted to Erase and Install. That was unsuccessful due to problems the installer kept encountering. So, in the end, I took the machine to Blue Ridge Mac, they opened it up and determined that both the internal hard drive, and the ram, were failing, all or in part due to lots and lots of dust and dirt accumulated. Anyway, they put in a 250 GB drive, updated the OS to 10.4.9, replaced the ram, installed Super Duper for doing backup, and restored all my old stuff in the new system. Now, it's like having a brand new computer! What a pleasure, and the people at Blue Ridge Mac were great. Super Duper is an easy way to do the backup on a schedule, too. I have a sparse image of the entire hard drive on the external drive, so, now I'm prepared for any future problems. Super Duper automatically runs Disk Utility to repair permissions, every time it backs up my hard drive."
So, now things are going good. Thanks for the help!

"The application Final Cut Express has unexpectedly quit."

I've try everything I found on this site about this problem and it didnt work. I delete my preference I downloaded the new version of final cut pro, I re-installed the program twice and it still didn't mwork. Can anyone that had this problem help me with it. I never had even the chance to open the program since I got it, it just won't open at all.

Are you talking about Final Cut Express or Final Cut Pro? If this is a Final Cut Pro. problem you should be in their discussion group.

Adobe PhotoShop 9 has encountered a user defined breakpoint.

I am new to PhotoShop, and I am slowly making my way through the learning process. It's very frustrating, as I want everything to be idiot proof (guess who's the idiot). When I received my order, it came with an advert about onOne Photo Essentials 3, and how it can make PhotoShop a little easier to navigate. So, I bought that as well, and installed it withouth issues. I've watched the online tutorials, but for some reason, when I get 3 steps into the process, I get this message:
Adobe PhotoShop 9 has encountered a user defined breakpoint.
I'm no whiz on computers, and I have no idea what this means, except that I'm still not being the least bit productive. I can't, for the life of me, find a link on Adobe's site for online help requests, and the FAQs don't address this. Can anybody help me?

If no one here has used that software and has an answer for you, you'll have to deal with onOne Software tech support.
If you don't get any satisfaction from them about the error, get a refund -- from what I saw on their web site, you're not getting anything that's really valuable for working with PSE9. Just my opinion, of course....

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my Adobe Cs3 Design Premium package. I don't know if i have the correct forum section.
I now managed to install this software correctly on mac osx but when i try to start one of the application they will all give me the very same error message!
"The application (all adobe applications) has unexpectedly quit
A crash report has been generated. To provide us with the best chance of fixing this problem, please select Continue to add a detailed description that includes the steps required to reproduce the crash."
Adobe will use this crash report to help find a future solution to this problem.
I had 512mb but upgraded it later to 2gb. Mac OSX is installed on a pc machine.
Does anyone know this issue? and what can i do about it?
I really appreciate any help,
Jasper Bakkker

"Application Photoshop has unexpectedly quit"

Help!
I get this message when I try to open CS3: "Application Photoshop has unexpectedly quit"
I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. Could that be related?
I'm using a Mac Pro3, 2x2.8 Ghz Quad Core Intel Xeon, 6GB 800 MHz DDR2FB-DIMM
I've read through all of the forums and FAQ to try to find a solution. I've tried the shift-alt-cmd start
I've sumbitted the crash report several times, can anyone please help? I tried to paste the crash data here, but I'm having trouble trying to figure out
how to copy/paste it here.
Thanks in advance!

Well I thought I had the report pasted in....
Why can't I paste the report? I copied it, but when I try to paste it here, the only option I have when I right click to paste is: Insert link, insert image, alignment and insert table.
Maybe I better get some coffee. It's still early morning here.

I have this message appearing "the application finder has unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows"... someone PLEASE help

I have this message appearing "the application finder has unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows"...
So far it doesn't appear to be effecting anything that i can see on my imac BUT it is incredibly annoying and popping up at bad times, and it all happened when my imac automatically updated itself. So annoying. PLEASE help!!!

Finder crashes are often caused by "Google Drive." If it's installed, I suggest you first check for an update. If that doesn't solve the problem, remove it according to the developer's instructions. You may need to start the computer in safe mode to do so. Back up all data before making any changes.
If you use Google Drive and don't want to remove it, then try deselecting the option in its preferences to "show status icons." According to reports, that may be enough to stop the crashing.
Similar cloud-data clients such as "Dolly Drive," "iDrive," "Open Drive," "Transporter Desktop," and others can cause the same problem.

My apple RIP gives this error message" the application ppRIPe has unexpectedly quit"

MY APPLE RIP GIVES THIS ERROR MESSAGE" the application ppRIPe has unexpectedly quit"

Thanks.
I should have mentioned that I have already done the Resolving Permissions as outline on Apple Support pages, but, I went ahead and did the complete sequence as shown on Dr. Smokes.
I decided to stop beating a dead horse and did an Erase and Install of 10.2 again since I did not have anything on there yet. So far, everything is working perfectly. I am doing the Software Updates called for one by one to see if any of those caused the problem.
The only thing I did other than doing all of the updates after the install was to install OS 9.2 for my Classic Environment software and I also installed an HP PSC 1315v All-In-One scanner/printer. I cannot imagine that would have done anything.
I did have some strange issues with Where in the USA is Carmen Sandiego and The Star Fleet Technical manual so I may stay away from them unless I start in OS 9 if none of the other updates cause any issues.
Thanks. BTW, How should I rate your answer? I know that it did not solve my problem, but, it is likely that something else I did whacked something.
I'll update when I know more.

An update on my previous post. I tried to reinstall itunes from the cd that came with it. It installed successfully and then when I went to find it in APPS and add it to my dock the system crashed
Here is the full message:
System Failure: cpu=0; code 00000008 (unknown failure code)

then it had another list of exception states, then it lists a Kernel Version:

Then a Memory Access Exception (1,0,0)
an ethernet mac address

and Waiting for debugger connection.
After this it is doing nothing. It is frozen on the screen. I'm not sure those numbers and letters will help anyone identify the issue but I thought I'd try.
Any help would be HUGELY appreciated!!

If you want to delete any Cloud Application with the Uninstaller, this don't work, the same Errormessage... So i delete with AppDelete app from Appstore, clean manualy the System (and with newest Adobe CS5-CS6-CC Cleaner), restart ... New install

Hunnia895 how extensively have you utilized the AppDelete App? I would recommend that in the future you please utilize the uninstallers located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.
At the moment it is difficult to determine what affect AppDelete may have had. I would recommend you complete the following steps to reset your Creative Cloud experience.
Run all available uninstallers in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers.
Run the CS Cleaner tool to verify the uninstall has been successful. You can find details at CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
