suleiman Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 those of you that have it working, are you using licensed copies of CS2 or pirated copies? I don't work for apple I'm just curious about the security checks in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suleiman Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 if you're only using the 2-day trial, then does your original install of CS2 work or no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuruu Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Nice.Thx.What was the point?How can i fix it? sorry, just posting for information and comparison. I thought it might be video card related, but ceynox has similar specs to you... if you're only using the 2-day trial, then does your original install of CS2 work or no? yes, but not simultaneously... ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FancyNatra Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 sorry, just posting for information and comparison. I thought it might be video card related, but ceynox has similar specs to you...

John the Geek Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 (edited) Sounds like a kernel Extension problem. Are all of the extensions in your /System/Library/Extensions folder current? Run an Apple System Profiler report and save it as "System Profiler (4.0 XML)" so we can compare Extensions and Frameworks. We'll need to see this for a working iHack and a crashing one for comparison. Also, anything in the Console logs? Console.log? System.log?

John the Geek Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Awesome. I see a lot of reasons for it not to work in there. Lots of Framework dependencies not linked. However, I'll need to see a working one to get an idea of wether those breaks are usually there or not. It sounds like we have two sets of extensions, and one is not working. If we can narrow it down to a specific extension, you may have a chance of fixing this pretty easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvil Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 The culprit is the AppleSMBIOS.kext, I changed to the original one released by Mifki and Photoshop CS3 is working nicely on my system. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simania_NL Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Another success story here and its blazing fast compared to CS2 I'm on a P4 SSE3 with Semthex kernel beta 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schweppes Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 (edited) Could you send me the original AppleSMBIOS please ? I will try it Edited December 15, 2006 by Schweppes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvil Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 (edited) Nope I have it too and CS3 just works. I just tested back to back between the two SMBIOS versions and with Paulicat's Photoshop keep crashing all the time. So maybe the problem is a hardware software combination, in my case the Mifki kext solved the problem, but maybe the same is not valid for everyone. Cheers P.D. This also solve my Soundbooth problem !!! Edited December 15, 2006 by dvil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
