I'm having problems installing Print Shop Version 2 for Mac. I am getting the errer message,
"There is not enough free space on Macintosh HD disk. The PS2 application requires about 1150 MB to be installed. Free some disk space and try again."
According to my HD, I have used 181 GB and still have 319 GB free. Can anyone assist? Thanks.
iMac (21.5-inch Late 2009), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
I went to the PrintShop website and saw that there was an update for the installation disk. Was able to download the new software and then start and finish my DL from the original install disks. Problem solved. 🙂

I have this problem too. I downloaded the updater file from the website, however PrintShop must ALREADY be installed BEFORE you can use the updater.
Was there a solution to this? I am using Mavericks 10.9.2 and I am totally unable to install The Print Shop 2.
I have the original CD from a few years ago but the installer on the disc will not work with Intel macs (a real blast from the past!). I have tried absolutely everything to install the software but with no luck. Very annoying since I've paid for it and now have a disc that's useless.
I found a download online for the installer but I get the message "Cannot reinstall with The Print Shop 2 running" - which isn't the case as it's never been installed on this machine.
As with cshoe I am not able to download the installation updater from the Mackiev website because the software needs to be installed before you can use the updater (crazy logic).
Mackiev also don't respond to e-mails, which isn't very helpful.
Does anyone have a solution?
I found a solution courtesy of Mackiev, who did reply:
The fact is, the very first PowerPC-based discs of The Print Shop 2 cannot work on OS X Mavericks because the "Rosetta" mode that is required for their installer to run is no longer supported there. However, I'm happy to tell you that we have released a special updater for old PowerPC discs, which can be used together with those discs you have to install The Print Shop 2 on Macs with Mavericks. Please follow this direct link to download the updater:
http://softwaremackiev.com/downloads/printshop2/ThePrintShop_v.2.0.11_UB_Updater .dmg
It's about 610 MB, so you'll need a good Internet connection.
Once the installer has fully downloaded, insert The Print Shop 2 Install CD in your Mac's CD drive and double-click the downloaded file if it doesn't open automatically. Then double-click The PrintShop 2 Updater icon and follow the onscreen instructions.
I followed these instructions and it installed just fine. The disc doesn't do anything, but is apparently necessary for the installation even though it's not recognised by Mavericks.

Uh, it makes perfect sense. How can you expect to update something that doesn't exist?

Once again, why should this be a surprise.
Can't install Print Shop Version 2
