Photoshop CS6 UNWORKABLE on Mavericks!

I have Adobe CS 4 and CS6 installed and running fine. I got rid of CS5 as I never was fond of it. As for the new Adobe CC well, not for me, but others I know are having no trouble with it. I have seen people have problems with old plugins/filters which are no longer supported in Mavericks. Otherwise, I have had no hiccups and use it every day.

Cheers

thanks - that makes us all feel so much better
😝

You are welcome. Glad to see you got off your backside and fixed it for yourself instead of hoping for some magical fix.

Happy computing

If this ever gets back to normal, it will take time to re-learn that you can use the keyboard without having to click on the panel every time.

I think Digital Finger was being sarcastic. His/her point being that it is not helpful to post in a thread that you personally are not experiencing the problem that is the subject of the thread, with no recommendation for solving it.

It's the equivalent of going to a hospital to announce that you are healthy.

Returning to the topic, I think I've seen slight improvement by uninstalling Adobe Drive; "Prevent App Nap" doesn't seem to have done anything to help; or various Wacom stuff; I reckon this may need an update to solve.

No it's a statement that it is not a universal problem and that something must be amiss with some installs.

Do you really think so? But his post was so informative, on-topic and full of technical content, that I hadn't noticed. 😉

Without a breakdown of your setup, it is a useless statement as there is no comparison for troubleshooting.

I disagree.

So you see posts such as

as being helpful and a breakdown of their setup?

And yet my comment of

I'm leaving this concversation now ..

i just bought a new macbook pro with added ram and processor speed so i could run adobe creative suite products. i had cs2 on my old macbook pro, and it always ran slow, but i was perfectly satisfied with cs2. i use adobe products, especially photoshop, all the time, but don't need the creative cloud. i was hoping to download a legacy cs6 package from amazon and be on my merry way. this conversation has completely depressed me. of course my new computer has mavericks. i tried the free cs2 download from adobe, but i guess it won't work with my processor. here's my question:

if i download adobe cs6 from amazon, is it going to work on this brand new, never had any adobe stuff on it, mavericks-running workbook pro of mine?

Hi Robgipe

I brought the new 15" macbook pro retina (late 2013) with the higher spec. Assured by staff at KRCS it's spec is far more than sufficient. Which I'm sure it is. I dont think this particular problem is about power. I was told its the perfect tool for the job (Illustrating in photoshop) but In practise It is not. I have the same problem (almost) everyone in this thread has.

"if i download adobe cs6 from amazon, is it going to work on this brand new, never had any adobe stuff on it, mavericks-running workbook pro of mine?"

I've had the problem, fresh mac, mavericks fresh install of CC (trail version- no previous version installs). Attempted all the different "fixes" in this thread. No posititive outcome.

Hangs frequently when using different tools. Clicking the tool panels "brings it back to life" temporarily if you spot the hang earlier on. If you don't you may have to wait quite some time for the system to catch up.

Perhaps its not a universal issue. You might get lucky but its the final straw for me.

I was looking at buying a new mouse. User reviews suggest maverick has issues. This computer although it looks nice feels like its been one big over priced pain in the arse.

Fortunately I brought from John Lewis who have agreed to give me a full refund.

Over 10 years of using MAC. I'm going back to Windows (not looking forward to it!).

Also charging £25 for vga / ethernet adapters. That's another kick in the teeth. After spending over 2 grand it would be nice to see them included in the box (like they use to be).

John Lewis had put me through to apple support to try and resolve the issue some time ago. Apples view was that is not a problem with the Mac and therefore something to take up with adobe.

thanks joseph. i appreciate your note.

but man, what a bummer.

HEY GUYS,

PROBLEM IS RESOLVED FOR ME !!! IM SO RELIEVED !!!

THIS IS MY FIRST POST BECAUSE AFTER I SUCCEED FIXING THE PROBLEM I COME STRAIGHT HERE TO SHARE!!!

THIS IS WHAT I DID:

QUIT PHOTOSHOP -> OPEN FINDER -> TYPE TO SEARCH : Default Keyboard Shortcuts.kys -> RUN THE FILE , IT WILL OPEN PHOTOSHOP AND ASK YOU IF YOU WANT TO SAVE THE CURRENT SHORTCUTS, CLICK DON'T SAVE -> VOILA !!!

I'VE QUIT AND OPENED PHOTOSHOP SEVERAL TIMES TO MAKE SURE. AND IM USING VIETNAMESE KEYBOARD INPUT, NO PROBLEM AT ALL SWITCHING TO OTHERS.

THE SHORTCUTS ARE TRULY BACK !!!

BUT I HAVENT TRIED TO RESET THE PC.

SO DO THE SAME AND LET ME KNOW IF IT WORKS FOR YOU !!!
HOPE THIS HELPS XOXO
