[Da_Pitts]

Problem  solved. Thank you for the detailed step-by-step answer. You ROCKETH! ijs

[Govardhan.V]

You are welcome .

[sharonb270162]

IT WORKED!   Thank you, thank you!  Best instructions ever!

[Govardhan.V]

Glad to hear that the issue has been resolved,

You are always most welcome

[sharonb270162]

I think my problem was that in step 4 I was doing the same thing as in step 3, I was typing the ~ symbol for both steps, then I finally realized that step 4 didn't have the ~ symbol.  After a million times (ok maybe a thousand...lol) of doing your steps over and over I finally discovered my error and voila it worked.  Thank you so much for helping people like me who have no clue what to do or what you had me do to fix it, but it sure worked.    I don't understand why this install had to be so complicated. 

[Govardhan.V]

Glad to hear that .

Yes , ofcourse it is bit confusing been there once lol

Mac computers has 2 libraries .

~/library = User Library

/library = System Library.

[lezlied92074729]

YEAH!!! Although I have no idea "what" each step accomplished, I am now able to access my Trial run of Photoshop.  I thank you for your clear, step-by-step instructions!!   Lezlie

[Friis Kiwi]

Thank you so much, worked a treat. I have copied your answer and saved it.

Interesting, I tried to bypass the last step as I had already downloaded Creative cloud today. That didn't work, but once I followed your link and downloaded it again. It worked.

Thank you so much.

[editdan]

This worked for me too.  Thanks!

[Govardhan.V]

Perfect
