after upgrade to mac tiger all versions of photoshop (including trial) fail to load but imageready i

Hi all

I recently upgraded to tiger (from Panther) and discovered that I could
no longer load my version of photoshop CS (or Windows media player).

So i made sure i downloaded all the updates for Tiger, and tried to
reinstall the version of PS several times to no avail.

I then deleted all files relating to photoshop that I could find on my
computer and tried it again with no sucess. I found that windows media
player was also affected and that the fix for was deleting preferences
so i deleted those for PS. But PS still did not work.

I then downloaded the trial of CS2 thinking that a newer version might
be whats needed but that did not work either.

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get Photoshop working on my
system again? I think i've looked at every forum post on this subject
and nothing seems to work.

The error message I get is : "The Application Photoshop quit
unexpectedly".

 

Upgrading the Mac OS is not that simple. Try Repairing Permissions
before and after installing any software. Folks on the Adobe Photoshop
Forum site can give you more info.

 

You're missing the "Adobe Unit Types" plugin from
/Library/ScriptingAdditions/

If you did an archive and install, it will be in the previous system
folder.

If it's truly gone, reinstall Photoshop.

 

I have reinstalled photoshop several times. including a download of the
very latest version (trial) from the adobe site. It still doesnt work.

 

Thanks a lot edjh

I found what i was looking for on the photoshop forums. I had to get
rid of the twain plugin which apparently corrupts easily.

 

It should be.
IMHO, Adobe f***d up this one all by their lonesome selves.

 

For future reference, when an application crashes like this, your first
and best way to get a real clue as to what is going wrong is to examine
the content of the application's crash log. Crash logs are usually
located in the /Users/you/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/ folder or the
/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/ folder.

I'm willing to bet you that the Photoshop crash log would have made
some mention of the TWAIN plugin, or the fact that it was loading
plugins at least, just before the crash.

 

The easiest way to look at crash logs is in Console, an app in
/Applications/Utilities.

Run it, click on 'Logs' and do what comes naturally.

 

Good tip - thanks, Paul! : )
