EDIT

After spending numerous hours, I found a turnaround…. remove TWAIN plugin from import/export folder under plugin. I trashed mine. Others say to delete from trash.

in the meantime, I un-installed photoshop to re-install to then be faced and battling with the famous infamous ExtendScript toolkit 2 which would not let me go forward. the turnaround is to download the dmg and open it when ask for.

When re-installing, I was asked to insert disc 2 which in my case is not possible (download) at that moment you double click your dmg and click ok to the installer.

It worked for me. enjoy

Hello,

I have a mac dual 2 G5 with 3.5 gb ram. I have 4.4 gb free on disk (after installation, see below). I recently upgraded to leopard without a problem… seems at first. No problem with the upgrade in itself. Before upgrade I copied data, repaired permission and then install.

Then, I try to open Photoshop cs2. It opens until the preferences is running and then crashes.

I verify and repair permissions. still it doesn’t open. So, I browse around and did not find any issues similar to mine. But I read that with CS3 it was ok. I needed to upgrade so I upgraded my suite including Photoshop CS3 extended. It does the same …. start opening until it runs the preferences and then crashes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Note that I tested the rest of the suite and so far it works fine.

thank you

Nader,
Did you reformat the drive by chance? If so how did you format it? It appears that CS3 is not compatible with Mac OS X Extended, Journaled, “Case Sensitive”

Hi Terry,

I installed a fresh copy of Leopard and now trying to install Adobe Web Premium CS3 and it refuse to run the installer. It says “Not compatiable with the OS”

Not sure what to do.

Please Advice.

Thanks,
Nader

Hi there Terry,

I have a few probs using CS2 within my new Leopard world. I wish I could afford to upgrade to CS3 and update my raw capabilities, but as a newy to all this I just have to save up!
So do I have to put up with my few little probs or are they fixable? These are:
a) when I choose to quit PSCS2, it then crashes & asks me to report.
b) I seem to be having new issues with burning dvd-r (which I know apple says try differnet brands but come on, how much $$ & discs do I have to waste?) One day it works on current tdk stock & next disc no go!!!
c) my crop tool is playing up and I can’t seem to put my w&h measurements in without weird things happening.

Any help would be fab!
Thanks, Monica.

Thank you Terry.
I followed your upgrade method on my external drive. Based on initial testing my apps are working fine. I will do the upgrade on my macbook this weekend.

As an Adobe “evangelist,” can you explain (or find out for us) why applications in the CS3 suite require two separate versions of Adobe Help Viewer? Wouldn’t one be enough? What’s more, on the Mac, given that Apple provides a perfectly good HTML Help viewer, why does Adobe feel the need to insist on doubly redundant software?

Thanks.

Hi Gerard,
Yes, because you’re still using it on the same MacBook.

Hi terry,
I have never upgraded before so this question might sound naive.
I am planning to follow your upgrade method but I purchased a single user license for leopard. Can I still install the software once in my external drive and then on my macbook (given all my necessary applications work fine). Your comments on this will be greatly appreciated.

Terry White, you are a Godsend when it comes to technical matters. I agree with Scott Kelby when he recommends that (on almost any technical issue) we see what Terry White has to say before we do anything.
