steve_west Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Upgraded to OS 10.4 yesterday and PSCS is dead. Starts up. just doesn't open any files. Same message everytime; "Could not complete your request because of a program error" Right, very informative. So I tired Image Ready which opens files fine in Tiger. Re- installed several times, trashed preferences files, repaired permissions, done all the tricks I can think of. So, then downoaded the 30 day trial version of Photoshop CS2 from Adobe and installed that on Tiger - got the excat same message when double clicking an image or trying to open from the menu bar. I was running 10.3.9 on a PowerMac G4, quicksliver 867mhz (firmware all up to date). Also I installed PSCS of my old system (external harddrive) and it's working fine there. And PSCS 2 works fine on my ibook (10.3.9). I've read some people are having the exact same problem out there. Does anyone have a fix? Cheers, steve.

andrew_rodney1 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Did you try to reinstall CS after Tiger? There are some application support files it might need. CS2 runs fine under Tiger. But I installed it long before Tiger, did an Archive and Install and some system files were gone (CS2 informed me of this). An install of CS2 cleared it all up. Considering I?m able to run CS2 and Tiger and you can?t, I suspect something else is going on (probably with Tiger).

andrew_rodney1 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Just for grins, I launched CS from my machine running Tiger. Runs fine. I didn?t (like CS2) have to reinstall after the system update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_west Posted April 30, 2005 Author Share Posted April 30, 2005 CS was installed already before Tiger. But when it stopped working I re-installed several times with the same message. CS2 was installed after installing Tiger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_f._stein Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Check out www.xlr8yourmac.com for possible user reports. Adobe also has forums. This is another reason why I always have multiple partitions, each with their own Boot System, on any hard drive-and, of course, with the Mac we can boot from an external Firewire drive, etc. You can install Tiger on an individual partition. If there are problems to troubleshoot, you still have many options. GOOD LUCK. I imagine 10.4.1 will appear soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_west Posted May 2, 2005 Author Share Posted May 2, 2005 it's all good. weird. wasn't working this morning and then it just starting working again, suddenly. i guess my system needed to 'adjust' a bit... the last 'significant' thing i did before it all started working again was build a graph of the directory using disk warrior. that's it, no repairing.

brian ball Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 CS is working fine for me. I actaully did not install it on my boot drive but am just selecting the application from a drive with a Panther installation. I installed PS CS2 today with no problems.
