Help me! Im trying to install it on my Mac but it keep on failling

[kglad]

how are you trying to install?

[Nazim Danil]

I tried to Install it on my Creative Cloud. I tried to download Adobe Illustrator and it is perfectly fine. But Photoshop it kept on saying Installation Failded

[kglad]

what are your computer specs?

specs - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/system-requirements.html

[Nazim Danil]

I'm using MacBook Pro M1 Ventura 13.2.1, though i find user with similiar problem as mine in this community where they failed to isntall the latest photoshop ver. and one of them suggest to downgrade the installation. I try to give it a shot, will update.

[Nazim Danil]

Update: yes! it worked! Downgrading it solve the issue. Though i still don't know why I can't install the latest version of photoshop. 

[kglad]

but glad the downgrade worked for you, too.

[kglad]

with ventura, permissions are usually the problem.

[scottiericho · Accepted solution]

Type this into your terminal app: 

softwareupdate --install-rosetta

Then try the install of the latest version of Photoshop again. Obviously your Mac hasn't yet downloaded Rosetta 2, and something in the Photoshop installer requires it. 

Adobe: You NEED to go through your installer processes and check which items are still non-universal codebase.

[kglad]

thanks for that info @scottiericho. suggest it to adobe.  these are user-to-user forums.

for applicable apps, you can make (some) suggestions to adobe here, https://helpx.adobe.com/ie/x-productkb/global/how-to-user-voice.html

for others, use https://www.adobe.com/products/wishform.html

[Mr.PartyHut]

This is the best solution! 👍🏻

[kglad]

@Mr.PartyHut 

yes, @scottiericho came up eith a good find.

[Jörgen28628990ue8r]

Yes! Thank you @scottiericho ! This solved my problem with the error code 183. I have a Macbook Pro with the M2 processor. Strange that there was no notification that you needed Rosetta. How difficult would that be (especilly when Adobe has to know that they have components in Photoshop that needs Rosetta). Slopy. 

[Jessy28668353k1fk]

Thanks a lot @scottiericho, it worked great for me too!!

[Leigh28684289782t]

yes thankyou god- been trying to install for last few days -it works now!!!

[Nikki5FB9]

Thank You!! 
I had spent over and hour troubleshooting using other recomendations when I came across this thread. This soloution was the only one that worked for me and was super simple to complete!! 

[d.c.woods]

Worked for me with a new M2 Pro Mac Mini!  Thank you!

[dhachey]

yep, worked for me too.  Thanks.

[kglad]

NOTICE: ps v 24.3 has just been released.  does that solve the problem?

[Trey Piepmeier]

It's still not working for me.

[kglad]

@Trey Piepmeier 

did you install rosetta 2?

 among the ways to do this is to start Photoshop with the Intel version*.  here are two other ways, How to Install Rosetta 2 on Apple Silicon Macs (osxdaily.com)

that's been the solution to a recent surge in mac problems (with new apple silicon macs) caused by premiere pro (and after effects) installs resulting in exit code 183.

there are also the older problems and fixes, https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/fix-error-183.html,

but you should try the rosetta 2 install first, because its absence is most likely the cause of your problem.

*Go to Applications > Photoshop > Open the Photoshop Folder > Click the Photoshop Application within the Photoshop folder
Then hold Control > Get Info > Check the box for Open with Rosetta

[Trey Piepmeier]

No, I don't intend to install Rosetta. I'll wait until Adobe makes this all Apple silicon compaitible for real. It surprising that even Lightroom Classic doesn't have this problem.

[kglad]

@Trey Piepmeier 

understood. 

a ps update was just released.  did you try that one?

[Trey Piepmeier]

Ah, I hadn't specifically checked the verison, I had just opened Creative Cloud and tried to install again. Looks like mine is still showing 24.2 even after I check for updates.

[kglad]

@Trey Piepmeier 

in relation to error 183 for mac m2's, another user said v24.3 was released.

note: adobe rolls out updates in waves so you may not see this update, yet.
