Mac OS Photoshop Keeps Having to be Reinstalled during to Damage
Mac M4 Max 64GB RAM, 2TB SSD, OS Tahoe 26.5.2, MacBook Pro 4588
I regularly use Dreamweaver, Illustrator, Acrobat and Photoshop, occasionally other products.
I most often use my MacBook closed with an external wide screen, wireless keyboard and mouse, at home, and it works great.
When at home, I have use 2 USB-C ports for everything connected - 1 is for the super wide screen and the other goes to a hub that has various drives connected, ethernet cable from router, external devices like camera, speakers etc. I always fully power down before unplugging these USB cables, without fail.
When I sometimes switch off the machine and disconnect it from all external devices so that I can use the laptop on its own while travelling for work, I always hit a problem when launching Photoshop for the first time in this configuration.
I get a message that Photoshop is damaged and cannot run, and I have to re-install it. This is very tedious, and what is really annoying is that I always loose all of my personalised things like settings, themes, and automation scripts during this process.
I work with software and I am a serious Jira user and product owner, so I am can help with logs or more information if you want me to attach them to this ticket. Please just let me know what you need. This happened most recently 3 days ago when I travelled away from home on a photo shoot, and the hotel wifi was so poor that it was not really possible to download the installer to complete the process, so I was really hampered in my work.
I do not get this issue with other products from memory, only Photoshop.
Thanks
Steve.
