andybarton Posted November 12, 2006 Share #2 Posted November 12, 2006 Intel chip iMac? Mine does this. I have to reboot to get it to work. I think it's down to a memory issue with the Rosetta system, which allows PPC software to run on the Intel chip. I reboot, and have PS set to start at login. It only takes a minute to reboot. Roll on the day when Adobe go native... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybarton Posted November 12, 2006 Share #4 Posted November 12, 2006 Have you deleted the plist files associated with Photoshop? One of them may be corrupt. How much RAM do you have? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHAG Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share #5 Posted November 12, 2006 In Spotlight I have 776 plist.files How do I know which ? 2.5 Go Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted November 12, 2006 Share #6 Posted November 12, 2006 The ones which are called com.adobe or similar. Sort them alphabetically. There might be some com.photoshop ones too. A bit of investigation and you will see the ones which are relevant. Create a new folder on your desktop and drag the adobe plist files into that (as a temporary store) Then restart Photoshop. If this is the problem, it will recreate new plist files and should start up normally. 2.5gig is enough... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
