Photoshop CS2 and OSX version 10.4.11

I have similar issues that when I open all CS2 applications, they have no response .... system then runs really slow. I haven't seen anything like that before. If anyone can help that will be great.
Thanks.

I'm having the same problem with Photoshop CS2 but I am certain it's my scanner that's causing the crash. All my other app are fine. See my thread in the main thread list.

Hi Richard Fitzer,

Have you applied the adobe update to Photoshop Cs 2,so that your application version is 9.2 ?

Just a thought !

Have you applied the adobe update to Photoshop Cs 2,so that your application version is 9.2 ?

I think the top upgrade for CS2 is 9.0.2 - But be that as it may. Photoshop had become wildly unstable since an upgrade from 10.3.9. to 10.4 to 10.4.11... in fact WORSE under 10.4.11! And as a designer, THIS HURTS! One re-install of PS and uninstall of Version Que do not seem to have solved the problem.

ANYONE manage to fix this...

Apple: Upgrade to Leopard
Adobe: Upgrade to CS3

That'll work when I have $5000 laying about to run them on...

Oops yes sorry ! your correct its 9.0.2

I have currently have CS2 9.0.2 running on 10.4.11 and it runs fine(as an off-line photo-studio Mac) CS2 is installed on a 160G HD for the applications only and there is a second 160G HD allocated as a photoshop scratch disc cache level 7. I have allocated approx 1400 GB of Ram allocated for photoshop.

Is it possible that you may require more RAM or Free HD (Scratch disc) space to run CS 2 with 10.4.11 ? Perhaps a kind person with alot of Mac expertise out there will know !

Wish you good luck with it

This past Friday all of a sudden my Photoshop CS2 would become "not responding" any time I would try to open a file. Any file. Rebooted twice, standard check of permissions and such...no other programs are acting up. PLEASE!! SOMEBODY HELP!!!
OS 10.4.11, nothing new installed or anything else that happened since I was using it the day before with no issues. CS2 v9.0.2 also....

Hokay....

Having same or similar problems. After most of the usual fixes proved to no avail, What I was faced with was doing an "Archive and Install" back DOWN to a pretty basic installation of Mac OS 10.4.0. This peeled off most of the third party drivers and system add ons from Panther. Then adding up-to-date versions of ONLY the things I needed, scanner from epson, Printer from Canon, Wacom tablet, all new drivers for 10.4. DUMPED nortons utilities, dead in 10.4 anyway...

AND then re-installing a fresh version of PS CS3. Now behaving together.

Then one piece at a time.... brought back the OS updates...

So far, so good.

May not be YOUR answer. But working for me at the moment.

The same thing has started happening to me. I installed a Security Update as recommended by Apple's Software Update. And strangely this issue suddenly started on both my Dual G5 and my G4 Titanium laptop.I guess I have to buy CS3. There seems to be a lot of people in the same boat.....
