if this is your computer, then you should have the minimum power to run the most recent version of Photoshop. I would run updates to get your OS up to speed. You may need to upgrade to at least Panther (10.3) to run a recent version of PS.

that would be my computer, oh i just hit the os 10.0 cause i didnt know what to put, but how do i upgrade? sorry, i feel really lame. lol, i bought this computer cause im starting a clothign company and i a want a decent computer to do all the graphics on.

Quick way to find out - click the apple at the top left, the pulldown menu should say "About This Mac". It should open a dialog box telling you the specs of the computer. If it says a version before 10.2, it should be a free downloaded update via Software Update, in the same menu.

its a version 10.3
i just cant figure out why it wont let me open the set up thing, and when i go on myspace, it wont let me leave comments, and like the status thing i cant update, and it never tells me i have new comments, messages, photo comments etc.
idk why lol. any help?

have you run the software update recently, and/or are you using the latest version of Safari/Firefox?

As for PS, is the file you downloaded a .dmg file, and becomes a drive when opened? Post the link you used to download the trial if you still have trouble.

i just did my software update today, but i just went on myspace, and it is still doing the same thing.

Safari or Firefox? MySpace is inherently buggy - the notifications thing they've always had a problem with.
