Updated my OS and now Adobe Creative Suite doesn’t seem to work. Photoshop will not load at all and says broken. Have tried uninstalling but now cannot re-install.

Correct answer Rob_Cullen

I will quote from an AI answer, but you are out of luck.

“ Adobe Creative Suite 6 (and earlier) is not compatible with macOS 26 (Tahoe) . CS6 is discontinued software that contains older 32-bit components and relies on Java 6, making it completely incompatible with modern macOS versions starting from macOS Catalina and beyond.  If you need to transition to a modern workflow, you may want to look into modern subscription-based Creative Cloud application.”

The best deal to subscribe to Photoshop is the Photography Plan (1 year contract)-

I too can not utilize my SUBSCRIPTION creative cloud applications such as photoshop. My updates were stopping at 45% and then I decided to delete my program and reinstall and now it won’t even install on my computer. What gives? And yes I’m paying monthly for a year subscription for my apps.. I have been for years now. What gives? This update killed my workflow and any ability from accessing apps I’m paying for

If you system supports the apps,    Adobe Creative Cloud system requirements  and installing is a problem then can I suggest you contact Adobe Support by clicking on the Chat icon (lower-right of page) at-
