Photoshop CS6 won't do anything, but works on a different user profile

Hello I am receiving the error ‘photoshop could not complete your request because of a programme error’ message any time I try and do anything in photoshop, I can’t open, edit, change any settings or access any menu in photoshop without this error, rendering it, currently, a useless waste of money.
I am running CS6 on a mac running Mountain lion 10.8.3 everything is up to date, both operating system and photoshop. I have tried deleting prefs, plist files, adobe cleaner and re-installation, all several times and I still have the same problem. I also cannot find any log files, or access anything through help>system information.
It does work under a new user profile, but I'm not too happy about that as a work around
I get an error message in the console which says
5/05/2013 19:26:06.000 kernel[0]: proc 4823: load code signature error 2 for file "CS6ServiceManager"
15/05/2013 19:26:06.000 kernel[0]: CODE SIGNING: cs_invalid_page(0x1000): p=4823[CS6ServiceManage] clearing CS_VALID
Can anybody help?

I am experiencing the same problem with my iPod classic 120GB. When I Connect it to my computer for the first time since I started it, it works fine. The iPod is recognized by the computer and iTunes. When I eject the iPod thru the iTunes interface and reconnect it again (without rebooting my computer) the computer freezes. When I start iTunes again, nothing happens until I remove the iPod from the computer (it is stil displaying 'connected'). Removing the iPod unfreezes the computer. I think it is a software problem but I can't find a solution on the internet for such a problem.
Can someone help?

  • IPod causes PC Crashing, won't do ANYTHING, but works fine unplugged

    OK, so today I tried booting up iTunes to put some new music on my iPod I had just ripped off of a CD. I clicked on the shortcut, and nothing ever came up. Same thing was happening with Spybot, and a re-install fixed that, so I reinstalled iTunes. Same problem. So I tried installing it to my C:\ instead of my second HDD. Same problem. Also, whenever I go into My Computer
    and click on the J:\ (My Ipod) it just freezes. (This same problem has always been happening, but occasionally only failing when I tried transferring files) So then, while waiting for iTunes to boot and My Computer to unfreeze, I unplugged my iPod to listen to it since I was very bored indeed. BOOM, all of a sudden, 'My Computer' unfroze, and iTunes instantly popped up.
    So, iTunes and everything works fine now, providing the iPod is unplugged. If I plug it in while iTunes is running, it does nothing for about 4 seconds, then freezes, and of course, unfreezes as soon as I unplug the iPod.
    Any ideas as to why this is happening? Oh yeah, and this is likely the cause of most if not, ALL the problems my PC has been having since I built it. I hasn't frozen all day today since I unplugged the iPod, and remember that my iPod has been plugged in from when I first posted my newly built machine until I discovered this today.

  • Photoshop cs6 won't allow me to highlight my existing text layers. Does anyone have experience with this problem?

    Photoshop cs6 won't allow me to highlight my existing text layers. I select the text tool and the text layer I want to edit, hover over text and each time I attempto to edit a new layer is created. Does anyone have experience with this problem?

    Be sure you go to Adobe's Web Site and make sure there are no Updates for CS6
    http://www.adobe.com
    Remember if you have trouble with a software issue it is the software and not caused by the Mac you are using
    Many users simply don't remember when you upgrade software you normally have to go to 3rd party web sites and update software as well.

    Question # 1 is what do you mean by "inherited"? Is this a case where the computer belonged to someone else? Your user would not be entitled to use a program licensed to someone else.

  • My Photoshop CS6 won't work...

    My CS6 won't open any images. I'm working on a Mac, Mountain Lion 10.8.4. When I double click the photo, Photoshop will open but then not do anything, and my mouse turns into the spinning beach ball of death (as I call it). I tried downloading the update but it would not work for me. I really don't want to unistall/reinstall. Is there anything else I can try?

    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by pressing command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift while starting Photoshop until the appropriate dialog appears after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)

  • Photoshop cs6 won't work because of creative cloud

    Hi everyone,
    I bought indesign on february 2nd, and now my old photoshop won't work. I had photoshop CS6. They will not help me in chat and I cannot figure it out. I know there is a way to go into my desktop applications and change some code thing because this has happened before, but clearly I am totally clueless. Any assistance helps. Thanks.

    Check your CS6 version. Creative cloud may have updated your CS6 to subscription version CS6 version 13.1.2.  Where the Perpetual versions of CS6 are Mac version 13.0./6 Windows version 13.0.1.3 there are some differences between these versions.

  • 3D Settings on Photoshop CS6 won't work

    Recently I have been trying to use the 3D option on my Photoshop CS6 Extended, and I've looked everywhere and couldn't find a solution. I've been on the graphics processor settings and that's all greyed out,
    Can someone PLEASE help me!
    -Nathan
    P.S: This is what I get in the Preferences>Performance :- (It's all greyed out!)

    Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details, but pretty obviously your system is simply not up to the task. You can try updating the graphics driver, of course, but that's about it.

  • Photoshop Cs6 is hanging when trying to work in 3D when it wasn't before

    When I first started using 3D in Photoshop it was working rather smoothly and seemed to chug along fairly fast. Then one day when I was working in it as usual and tried to perform some random action it just started hanging with the spinning blue circle for about 2 or 3 minutes. It continued to do this ever since, sometimes hanging for up to 5 minutes before performing my command. Some actions cause it to hang longer than others, such as creating a new light and changing the diffuse color of a material, which is by far the worst in terms of the amount of time it will hang. I have searched the forums and google and tried all suggestions to any problem that seemed to have a similar nature. The only time that I had a partial success was after I had uninstalled Photoshop, then ran the adobe creative suite cleaner tool, then manually searched through the registry for every reference to adobe and Photoshop I could find and deleted them. I then reinstalled Photoshop and updated it. When I started using it in 3D after that it was running smooth as butter, no hangs or stalls on anything, including creating lights and changing diffuse colors. But my joy was not long lived, as after about 2 hours of use it started to do its usual behavior of hanging again.So I tried that approach again and it did not seem to work a second or third or fourth time. So out of desperation and all out of options, I decided to run process monitor from sysinternals to see if it showed me anything even though I knew that I probably would not understand what it were showing me. I noticed a lot of errors with the results of "name not found" for registry calls, "invalid parameter" for directory quarries, and "no such file" for file reads. But the one that seems to be happening the most whenever the program is hanging is it is trying to open a file from C:\program files\Adobe\photoshop x64\required\CgShaders, but that directory is nonexistent on my system. I was hoping that someone would be able to solve this for me as 3D in Photoshop is a big part of my workflow and I am all out of ideas. I'm going to include the process monitor log file and it will be in pml format which you will need process monitor to read, but it is a very small, portable, and free program which can be downloaded from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645. The Log file Can be downloaded from http://sdrv.ms/Xxcmuu (skydrive) or https://www.box.com/s/jzdmgmdmz7xe47smalv2 (box) .

    Thank you very much for your reply. And yes I have tried all of these suggestions that you have just made. And as for the GPU crash I did not notice that in there before but I also didn't look for it because every time I looked before it wasn't there, and looking at the date that was when that I was rolling back\uninstalling\reinstalling\trying modded drivers, etc., Which is probably the reason why the gpu sniper crashed.
    One interesting thing that you said was whether there is the same failure in a new design as opposed to an existing one. The answer to that is yes and no. To elaborate, when the program was working as it is supposed to eve and creating new lights and positioning them did not cause any slowdown despite the file that I was working on, but after the problem starts occurring it is like a snowball rolling down a hill. Every time I open the file (the one I was working on when the problem started to happen) to continue work on it be sluggish response of Photoshop is still there and only gets worse. If I start over on a new file the program will run much more smoothly, but will still had a slight amount of sluggishness with less intensive task whereas the more intensive task such as working with lights is still moderately sluggish but not to the extent as it was working in the previous file. As you said in your post it seems the father all along I get in my document the more pronounced and time consuming the freezes become. But nonetheless wants the problem has occurred it does not go away I can only lesson that by starting from scratch, which is not very convenient.
    If you look at the process monitor log file linked in my first post and search through it pretty quickly you will see photoshop doing this

    It does this repeatedly over and over again, specifically when I tried to work with lights. The weird thing is that there is no directory in required called CgShaders. I see 1 CG.dll & 1 cgGL.dll in the Photoshop (64 bit) directory. To meet that just seems very strange and probably more than a coincidence and probably does not happen on everybody else's system.
    This is the process monitor log file that I saved in csv format and edited the first three blocks so that it fit correctly. Open it up in wordpad and you'll see what I mean. This is what I was talking about right above.
