Hello.

I have a Macbook pro 13 inch with the latest software (14.6.1).

I have used photoshop on this exact laptop before, and even used it in an older one too. However, whenever I try downloading it it just says ''system requirements are not met'' and now I cannot use photoshop at all! I don't have it downloaded on this laptop as I had it formatted recently, and I have to re download it but it does not let me.

Nope, not case sensitive format. I will do what youve said, thank you : )

@Hnd_Brl8563 are you installing this on the main HD and not an external?

The recommended RAM is 16 GB or more. Most of us have "more". You should be able to launch Photoshop with only 8 GB, but you won't be able to do all of the functions.

  Minimum Recommended
RAM 8 GB  16 GB or more

Here are the minimum requirements: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/system-requirements.html

It looks like your Mac meets them - maybe as Lumigraphics says - is your hard drive formatted as case sensitive?

Did you format the drive as case-sensitive? That won't work.

Can you post a screenshot from the apple menu about this Mac? What year is it, how much RAM does it have, the graphics card, etc.
