photoshop hates me!

using root, try changing the permissions of the folder/volume you are installing it onto and then install it.
 
Don't change the permissions for your whole System volume, though!!!
 
where/how do you change permissions?

it was already set to read&write in the info window
 
Okay, had to say *that* fast. Now, look at the permissions of your /Applications folder via Terminal. What does it say?

> ls -l /

should show you a listing of directories and items that are directly under the root directory (/). This should show something like:

drwxrwx--- 47 root admin 1554 Jul 7 16:03 Applications <-- or -->
drwxrwxrwx 47 root admin 1554 Jul 7 16:03 Applications

If for some reasons it doesn't belong to the admin group (like in my example), you can set it so by typing:

> sudo chown -Rf root:admin /Applications

It will ask for your Administrator's password in order to do so. Then try again.
 
no luck...
it was this all along

drwxrwxrwx 6 fbp admin 160 Jul 8 20:43 Adobe Photoshop 7/
 
doh!

reread your post and noticed its not the same

it worked!

thanks for the help. any idea how it could have gotten messed up in the first place? i cant imagine photoshop ships with this mistake
 
or not...

i swear i saw it count down below 475 remaining

while i was posting in triumph it was hanging at 475 again. grrrrr

best $300 i ever spent
 
I had an eerily similar problem with InDesign 2 and finally found out the only way it would install on my PB/Ti was installing it to my firewire drive then dragging it to the hard drive. Later on found out there was a slight problem with the disk in my Ti. Have you run any disk utilities lately?
 
i do the occasional fsck -y, thats about it

i tried installing on my ipod but it had the same error



i think im going to reformat tonight...
