Yep…one minute I’m working away in Photoshop, did a save, closed the file, went to open another one…nil, zilch, zero interest.
Have forced quit, rebooted the mac, dumped the photshop prefs and the com.adobe.Photoshop.plist, rebooted, restarted Photoshop…but it won’t open a humble jpg, let alone a layered PSD. Just goes into spinning beachball and the finder shows it ‘not responding’. same result whether drag-n-drop or file-open routes.
Anyone have any tips to kick it into life? The progamme came with the machine so haven’t got any disks. It’s Photoshop 9 aka CS2.
Make a backup of your computer. Now. Go ahead, we’ll wait. Carbon Copy
Cloner or Super Duper, and one of those 2 Gig disks that come in
packets of cornflakes nowadays…

OK, I got it…ran the repair permissions for the disk and all is

A problem like this that suddenly appears often means your hard
drive’s on the way out. A backup of everything you have now would
definitely be prudent.

Yes, I backed up first, although just work and personal files -
didn’t want to back up something that wasn’t working!
But seems to be working fine now after the rebuild.
We haven’t got that Cornflake promotion on here in the UK…come on
Kellogs!

Permissions problems can be caused by various other things of course,
but a full bootable backup is a very good thing to have. Imagine
finding out 10 minutes from now that your hard drive has died, taking everything with it. (Sit down, relax, it is just a dream…) Now
imagine that you made a bootable backup last night that contains
everything in perfect order.

Amen bro. My dual G5 blew a power supply a year or so ago. I plugged
my nightly backup Firewire disk into my wife’s G4, booted up and it
was like nothing had happened. But very slowly
Indeed, brothers, I have a Formac firewire for exactly this purpose. And thanks to the kind directionsby people here to programmes like Carbon Copy Cloner, I too have a bootable backup drive. I just top it up now and again with incremental updates.
