![]() ![]() What problems? Oh, all those failures from automatic updates. So I was rather disappointed when every time I launched Photoshop, Adobe Updater would generate one of those. "This application has crashed unexpectedly would you like to report it to Apple." dialogs. I even knew there had been some updates made available, but I couldn't get them because Adobe Update would crash anytime it was launched. I've got a friend who's situation was even worse. His Adobe Updater was set to run on startup, and would crash his entire system every-time it launched. So what's the solution? Well, it appears that it must be a permission issue with the updater needing to modify files it doesn't have enough access too. We can solve this by opening Terminal (in your Utilities folder under Applications) and running a unix command line giving it full access to your system. (Ok the following line displays poorly in the blogger template, however it should be easy to select and then cut and paste into your Terminal app.) ADOBE UPDATER CRASH FULL Sudo /Applications/Utilities/Adobe\ Utilities.localized/Adobe\ Updater5/Adobe\ Updater.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe\ UpdaterĬopying and pasting that into Terminal should cause it to ask for your password. ![]() Assuming you have admin rights and can use sudo, the application should have all the power over you system it needs to complete an update. I had to take a further step and install some updates separately. I think I had about 6 or 7 updates to install, and I'd always get an update failed message when I tried to do all of them. However, I did them one at a time, and eventually everything installed. Now when Adobe Updater auto launches on my system, it no longer crashes. Aside from being a resource hog, Photoshop CS3 rocks! I wish Adobe would spend as much time perfecting their updater app, as they have on their software. There is a reason why I bought a Mac, it was not to be one of the cool kids that wanted the best of the best. No it was because of the music production I do on it. Hours and hours sitting in front of my Mac copying, pasting, moving, deleting, hour after hour just beating on my Mac in a endless assault to get my work done. This should provide significant speed boosts over the current (PowerPC) versions. So my Mac, I have it because it is fast, gets the job done and comes back for more.īut what happens when it doesn't want to do those things anymore? I work from home, it is great, but even if it is from home it is still work and it still needs to get done. Adobe's CS3 represents the first version of Adobe's popular graphics suite which supports Intel Macs natively. I move around massive amounts of information and yes even on the almighty Mac this can cause a problem after a while. Things fragment, programs get corrupted issues come up. My light speed Mac slows down to a crawl and all of the sudden I simply can not get any work done. The Adobe Updater worked - though some updates wont install unless you have Mac OS Xs Rosetta capability turned on. Because I work from home there is no IT guy to call and ask to come fix it. No instead I have to figure out what is wrong. ![]()
