Why can't PS CC read .gif and .png files anymore?

Everytime I've tried to load my files into my PS like usual (simply dragging the photo to the dock) I get this error message "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file." for both .gif files and .png. It's quite frustrating because a lot of my files on my computer are in .png format and I have previous .gifs I've made that I'd like to edit and can't. I have a Mac OSX and I've tried rewriting the file names but I still get the same message and I've tried making a new document in PS and pasting the photo but I only end up with the image below. I'm not sure what else to do anymore. It's quite frustrating. Any suggestions?

All right. That could also explain why my updates aren't working. (I'll try the same for my illustrator because those updates aren't working also.)

  • CS6 Bridge can't read .cr2 and .raf files anymore

    Been having some serious issues with Bridge CS6. Seemingly overnight I can't open .cr2 files from a Canon 5D Mark III or .raf from a Fuji x100 anymore. I've tried updating, uninstalling and reinstalling, purging the cache, manually deleting the cache, running the cleaner tool, resting the preferences, but no luck. These are files I could read just a few days ago. Nothing else has changed.
    I'm on a Mac, 10.6.8.

    I have the same problem with RAW from my Canon M CR2 files. I am on PC. I can open them in the Canon software, but I'd rather open them in Bridges as there is mare that can be done with them and I have been using it for many years

  • Why can I no longer save tiff and jpg files?

    Don't know if I inadvertantly changed some setting but all of a sudden every time that I try to save a tiff or jpg file photoshop saves it as just a "file."  I've been using CS5 for about a year now and have never had this problem. Any suggestions?

    If you click on Save As and select an option what does it do?
    My suggestion if this does not work properly is to reset the preferences.  Hold down the Crtl + Alt + Shift keys and start Photoshop.  You should get a reset window.  It is a little tricky so keep trying until you get it.

  • Converting transparent GIF and PNG to JPEG

    Hi,
    I have been reading in various sample gifs and png files and converting them to jpeg via javax.imageio.
    This works fine if there is no transparency colour defined in the png or gif file. But if it has a transparency colour, the resulting jpeg is messed up. Now, it appears the reason is because jpeg has no transparencies. So, my question is, how does one get rid of the transparency (assuming I want to convert it to 'white')?
    For the record, I am calling
    BufferedImage image= reader.read(0);Where reader is an ImageReader and I then convert "image" to jpeg.

    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.image.*;
    import java.io.*;
    import java.net.*;
    import javax.imageio.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class LoseTransparency {
        public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
            URL url = new URL("http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/figures/uiswing/components/ButtonDemoFiles.gif");
            BufferedImage bi1 = ImageIO.read(url);
            int w = bi1.getWidth();
            int h = bi1.getHeight();
            BufferedImage bi2 = new BufferedImage(w, h, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
            Graphics2D g = bi2.createGraphics();
            g.setColor(Color.WHITE);
            g.fillRect(0,0,w,h);
            g.drawRenderedImage(bi1, null);
            g.dispose();
            JPanel p = new JPanel(new GridLayout(2,1));
            p.setBackground(Color.YELLOW);
            p.add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon(bi1)));
            p.add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon(bi2)));
            final JFrame f = new JFrame("LoseTransparency");
            f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            f.setContentPane(p);
            f.pack();
            SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
                public void run() {
                    f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
                    f.setVisible(true);

  • Bridge: why can't I add any metadata to gif and pct files???

    Not sure what the issue is here with Adobe Bridge and gif and pct files, but Bridge won't let me add any metadata or keywords.
    With keywords, Bridge displays a window saying that pct and gif files can't add xmp metadata.
    Is there something I'm missing in my settings? Or should I just go ahead and convert all my gif and pct files to jpegs, tiffs or psd.

  • Why can't I listen to music and read the ny times simultaneously?

    Why can't I listen to music and read simultaneously?

    hmm, well have you ever tried to run the music app in the bakground before? Double click the home button and bring up the music app. Select you music and you should hear it when you switch back to your NY times.app.
    You can do this. HOWEVER, never used the NY times app before. ****IF the NY times has streaming media capability, this would be why you can't listen to music simultaneously while reading.
    Not all news readers have the ability to allow music in the background.
    Hope this helps!

  • TS4213 Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?

    Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?
    Examples of what is going on:
    1. In Pages, Numbers & Keynote, when I go to the media browser the Audio section reads "Open iTunes to populate this list" even after iTunes has been opened, .xml file has been replaced/repaired, etc  AND Photo section reads "Open iPhoto to see photos from your iPhoto Library in this list" even after iPhoto Library has been replaced and new default library created.
    2. In iMovie, similar thing ... when I go to add photos or music to a movie the iTunes files aren't present and the iPhoto photos are missing with similar messages as in #1.
    3. In iPhoto, similar thing ... when I go to add music to a slideshow it says to "Open iTunes to populate this list".
    It is shocking to me that Apple would let something as simple as a pathway link to associated library files get this messed up on an upgrade, but what's even more surprising is that with the number of people who seem to be having this particular issue (and I can tell from all the research that I've done for weeks online that there are a lot of them) that there doesn't seem to be a single clear answer to fixing it anywhere on these community support forums.  Most of what I've seen is rehashed advice from outdated issues.  What I need is a simple answer to how do we get these programs to look for the correct location of the photo and music files because I sure can't seem to find any logical place to do that through the programs' preferences files or the system preferences window?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    P.S. Here's the details on the software/hardware:
    MacBook Pro
    Mac OS X
    Version 10.7.5
    2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    iTunes 11.0.4 (4)
    iPhoto '11 9.4.3 (720.91)
    iMovie '11 9.0.9 (1795)
    Keynote '09 5.3 (1170)
    Pages '09 4.3 (1048)
    Numbers '09 2.3 (554)

    I have the same problem on a new MacBook Pro. I have not been able to access the iTunes library from iPhoto since I got this computer. I looked in the Preferences file and deleted the com.apple.iApps.plist but there was no com.apple.iApps.lockfile so I just deleted the iAPPs.plist and rebooted the computer.  Still no iTunes available in iPhoto.
    All my music is in iTunes and plays. After reading the above I brought up Pages and I was able to access music and insert a track into a document.
    Do you have any suggestions.

  • I am unable to apply my downloaded update. When I try to apply it and restart firefox, it still says 'apply downloaded update now...'. Why can't I apply this update and what do I do about it?

    I am unable to apply my downloaded update. When I try to apply it and restart firefox, it still says 'apply downloaded update now...'. Why can't I apply this update and what do I do about it?

    Checked out that link and everything seems to be in order on this machine at this time.
    I only have CC installed on this one machine, not even my secondary machine like is permitted. it seems odd that I'm asked to re-accept the Licence Agreement as often as I am. If I had to guess, it's almost every week, if not multiple times some weeks, that all the software will decide I should have to view the licence agreement.
    Edit: I've never had any noticeable "errors" activating or anything like that. I just get asked to do it quite frequently.
    This activation screen isn't too annoying (it involves clicking one single button), but like I stated earlier, if I'm trying to launch the software by double-clicking on a PSD, AI, PPROJ, AEP, etc... that file will fail to open.
    I feel like that's probably not really a bug, but it is frustrating, since I did launch the application with the intent to edit that specific file I tried to open.
    Again, something that you guys may consider working on.
    Another annoyance is that: agreeing to the licence agreement is a per-application task, so if I see that Licence Agreement dialogue window by opening Photoshop (for example), I know that every other piece of software I have in the suite (Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects, Audition) will be showing me that screen on it's next launch. Probably deliberate for legal purposes that I can't just agree once for the whole suite, but heck, it would save me a lot of minor headaches if it was a unified agreement.

  • Why can't Adobe continue to support and create updates.....

    Why can't Adobe continue to support and create updates for MAC G5 OS X Tiger?
    I'm sure I'm not the ONLY owner and operator of this MAC machine. I'm finding it
    VERY frustrating how your comany, JAVA and Apple of just written this machine off.
    You know, MAYBE I'd be more understanding if this MAC product or ALL MAC
    products weren't so reliable. However, like many MAC users out there
    there's NOTHING wrong with my machine or my current programs OTHER than the
    simple fact I can no longer update Flash player or Java... all because
    my machine is no longer supported.
    WHY can't updates continue to be made? This way,ALL consumers are happy:
    those who feel it wasteful economically and ecologically to
    replace a computer with a NEW computer, and those who just like to have the latest
    and greatest tech toys.

    You can - click on the "Actions" link at bottom left of the post.
    As to the rest - nobody seems to like this forum, and what you're saying has been said on numerous occasions already.
    It's Adobe's fault for "buying in" this forum (sorry - "Social Business"  ) service, but it's Jive's fault for producing such a crappy solution in the first place.

  • Why can't I set month,date and time on my imessage?

    Why can't I set month, date and time on my imessage?

    The way the date/time was displayed was changed in iOS7. There had been numerous complaints about not having a date/time stamp on all posts, so it was changed to display the time for all by sliding the post to the left. They left the date stamp to show differently. I couldn't tell you what it does for posts more than a week old, as I never save my messages that long.
    Meg's post provides for software where you could move the SMS to the computer and it should contain a full date/time stamp on it.

  • Why can I only see iCloud Drive and not iCloud in Finder?

    Why can I only see iCloud Drive and not iCloud in Finder? The latter is not available either under Favourites or Menu>Go>...
    After a clean install of Yosemite 10.10.3 on a MacBook Pro, I chose not to upgrade from iCloud to iCloud Drive because it would break syncing with my iPhone 4. My docs are still visible in iCloud, according to System Preferences. I can access them on my iPad but I not from my MacBook Pro. Calendars and Contacts sync ok.
    I tried logging out of iCloud, rebooting and logging back in, but that did not remedy the problem.
    What's gone wrong?

    Just so I'm clear. You have enabled iCloud Drive in your iCloud preferences:
    Now, in your Finder's sidebar you still do not see the iCloud Drive showing. In the Finder's preferences is it checked:

    Why can I print from my iPhone and not my iPad? I have been able to do it in the past. I have tried a hard reset but it still cannot find the printer.

    In addition to rebooting the router and the iPad, I would reset the printer as well. Unplug the printer from power and do the same with the router. Leave the router unplugged for about 30 seconds. Plug the router in first and let it totally start up, plug the printer in again, and then reboot/reset the iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't work, you can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. Your WiFi passwords, location services, device preferences all have to be re-entered. You will not lose any data or media whatsoever.
