I had the same problem, and solved it without re-installing Photoshop. Here
is a FAQ that helped me:

   http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/329996.html

(Note: the FAQ has a space between "Scripting" and "Additions",  which is
incorrect.)

According to this FAQ, one solution is, indeed, to re-install Photoshop. But
for me, the other solution was simpler, and worked. Find a copy of a file
called "Adobe Unit Types" (search your old computer) scripting addition and
put it into the <Hard Drive>/Library/ScriptingAdditions/ folder. Then
restart your machine.

Let us know if this solves your problem.

Enjoy!
