Error in opening Photoshop CS6

[roamerica]

I just installed the trial version of CS6 Premium. I was getting the same error when trying to open the programs. I went into sharing and permissions and updated the privileges. Now everything opens except for Bridges and Photoshop. I get the following error "You can't open the application "Adobe  Photoshop CS6" because it's not supported on this type of Mac.

Please advise.

We can't advise because we know nothing about your Mac. If it's an older model running an old version of OSX it may indeed not be supported. Refer to the system requirements on the product pages.

I have a 2006 MacBook. I have upgraded the OS to 10.6.8, increased my memory to 2gb and hard drive to 500gb. All other programs are working except Bridge and Photoshop.

We need more detailed system description.

Click on the Apple icon on Top left, click on "About this Mac" and go to "More info"

The problem is due to your processor.  You have an Intel Core Duo on your Macbook Pro.  Photoshop requires at least an Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 64-bit support.  You can find the system requirements listed at http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/tech-specs.html.

Hey Jeff A Wright. Im having the same problem that "Gretchenbayless" is having with the same system requirements. So you sayin all I need is to update my Mac with Intel Core 2 Duo processor with a 64-Bit and that will solve the problem and if so where can I go to update. Do I need to go to a local store to purchase it. Thanks alot!!!

Processors in Macs are not typically able to be upgraded.  You will want to purchase a Macintosh with at least an Intel Core 2 Duo or higher processor.  All of the current Macintosh line would meet this minimum requirement.
