Photoshop will not work in Yosemite OS 10.10

Yosemite looks cool but it did not warn me that Photoshop and my wacom tablet would not function. I actually have Photoshop CS5. Which as far I am concern worked great in Mac OS X. I was given warning after downloading and installing I need to to download a JAVA thing-a-bob. It offer a links I clinked on it and download and went through the motion of installing it. However Photoshop say "an unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred. Photoshop will now exit.

I went adobe and all they offer buy their cloud version of photoshop and agree to pay them monthly for rest of your life on software. What idiot would do that?

I look at 99% of Yosemite as cosmetic and very nice. Good thing upgrade was FREE. I will try sketch book and maybe some other for my artwork for day or two.

I will assume I can restore from time machine.......................

I have Photoshop CS5 and it works fine. I also have CS3 CS4 and CS6 and they all work too.

Have you tried reinstalling CS5?

After research on the internet I found many others that also had issues Photoshop CS5 giving an Error message. It was suggested to run an photoshop un-installl then to re-install CS5 Suite. AFTER doing that Photoshop CS5 worked. Apple support staff had me download several different version of JAVA in hopes of getting Photoshop CS5 to function. None of that work. I would have tried the un-install option sooner. But my iMac kept ejecting CD. I eventually a site that allowed me to download CS5.

I contacted ADOBE. It was clear they knew there were issues with earlier versions of their products working with Yosemite 10.10. BT offered no help other then to buy their latest CC products. Where they rape their clients every month/year. I was beyond disappointed with ADOBE.

You mean you don't own, or ever paid for the software you're using and downloaded a torrent of CS5?

Okee dokee. The one comment sounded like you got it from an illegal site. Which didn't really go with talking to Adobe about the issue, who I'm pretty sure ask for your account ID before they'll even help you.
