\usepackage{subfig} in my preamble, it gives me this error:

I wanted to use the continuedfloat command to span a figure with
subfigures in 2 pages and I found this package can do it
I am really struggling with this and have no clue. Is it because subfig
is not installed? Can someone instruct me how to install? I downloaded
the folder subfig but dont know how to install it. I am using texshop
on mac os X tiger.
Thanks

advanced package (by the same author, Steven Cochran) which also allows
to use subfloat etc for figures spanning over more than one page. Do
you know if I can do this by subfigure also?

No, if a package is not installed you get a message like
! LaTeX Error: File `trala.sty' not found.
Your error message says, that \captionfont is already defined. That
means that there is a name clash with another package. Make a complete
minimal example to identify this package. Post this example, then
someone can tell you what to do.

What document class are you using? What versions of the subfig and the
caption package are you using?
(Please put a \listfiles command at the beginning of your LaTeX document
and tell us the output of it.)

The only package I know which has this code line is the caption2 package
v2.0(BETA), so the problem is obvious:
Please do not mix old and new caption+subfigure stuff. That means:
EITHER use caption2, subfigure and the captcont package
OR use caption (v3.0) and the subfig package
Please note that the actual subfig package needs version 3.0f (or newer) of
the caption package. (See subfig documentation for details.) So if you want
to use the subfig package, you need to update your caption package to a
more recent version.

Do you mean you are using subfigure.sty AND subfig.sty? Does the error
disappear if you comment out the older (ie. subfigure) package?

Replacing \subfigure or \subtable with \subfloat should be no problem
using a proper text editor.
If you want to keep subfigure anyway, you can't use subfig. It's like
using the same package twice, but with different version numbers.
And using the caption and caption2 package together is not possible for
the same reason, too, and the subfig package is using the caption package
(See subfig documentation). So at least you should replace your lines
> \usepackage[hang]{caption2}
> \renewcommand{\captionfont}{\bfseries}
with
\usepackage[format=hang,font=bf]{caption}
and put this line BEFORE \usepackage{subfig} (and update your caption
package to the actual version 3.0).
So here are the possible combinations:
caption(2) + subfigure + captcont
-or-
caption (v3.0) + subfig
BUT: If you want some features like continuation figures working together
with hyperref, you have to use the newer versions, that means caption
(v3.0) and subfig. The old stuff (caption2+subfigure+captcont) is not
able to handle that correctly since they are not prepared for using them
with the hyperref package.

You have to use \usepackage[...]{caption} BEFORE \usepackage{subfig}.
Please take a look at the caption and subfig documentation.

Things are becoming more clear to me now, but I still have the problem.
I did follow ur instructions and when I use caption (which is version
3, i checked using that log file) and subfig and include a chapter with
text only, no problems.
But when I include a chapter with subfigures, (and like i said earlier
i have use \subfigure in all the chapters) it gives an error
"undefined control sequence"" and stops wherever I have used
\subfigure.
So it seems that it doesnt like me using \subfigure everywhere. So
although it would be very time consuming and I would liek to avoid
this, will my problem be solved if I replace all the "subfigure" s with
"subfig" in all the chapters?
Or, is there a way (liek a command} which will consider all my
subfigure's as subfig's ?
I am using TexShop on Mac OS 10.4.6 (MacBook Pro)
Thanks!

will be a big job! Thanks but atleast now I have the solution

if you're using the caption and subfig packages, read axel's advice from
another post and update caption to version >= 3.0f:

So do a
\let\subfigure\subfloat
\let\subtable\subfloat
after \usepackage{subfig}. Maybe it would be a good thing if the subfig
package would do that for itself, since this would help migrating from
subfigure to subfig. I will send this suggestion to Steven (the author of
the subfigure+subfig package).
> caption.sty 2004/07/16 v3.0c Customising captions (AS)
> subfig.sty 2004/01/28 ver: 1.2 subfig package
Please note: If you want to use \ContinuedFloat together with `hyperref'
you need caption v3.0g (or newer) and subfig 1.3, otherwise you will get
warnings and wrong hyperlinks.

use \listfiles and check the log file to be sure which packages/versions
are being used.
it seems that the easiest (but not very elegant) solution for you would
be to place the latest versions of subfig.sty and caption.sty in the
same directory as your tex file. it will use these versions before
using the ones in your local/texmf directories.
