2 versions of Photoshop opening on computer... but only 1 installed.

I recently purchased a new iMac and am running Yosemite 10.10.3.  I re-installed Photoshop CS5 & Lightroom 4 to my new computer by downloading from the adobe website and using my serial number to add them to this computer.  I am noticing that there are 2 versions showing up when I go to File: Open With.  Both PhotoshopCS5 12.0 and 12.0.2 are options.  I also have 2 "Adobe Device Central CS5"s: 3.0.1.0.3027 and 3.0.0.376.  With Photoshop, both versions are opening on my computer and it is causing trouble and confusion for me.  Obviously, I want to use the latest version.  When I go to Applications, I only see one folder for Photoshop.  Any advice?  Thanks in advance!

I would go for a complete uninstall, remove preferences.  Be sure you have administrative privileges.

  • LR Photo Import from Camera suddenly not working (5.7.1) - States "Some import operations were not imported becuase they could not be read."  Works on another computer and 4.3 version of LR on same computer but not newly installed LR 5.7.1 cc 2014.

    As above, all of a sudden, on one computer I cannot download from either the Canon 50D or 70D into LR 5.7.1.  It will download on another computer as well as on this computer in an older version of LR (4.3).  When I first turned on the computer this morning, I also got an error message that "The Lightroom catalog named 'Lightroom 5 Catalog" cannot be opened because another application already has it opened."  It was a cold boot, so I am not sure what is happening. 

    For the second problem being that the catalog is open in another application, go to the folder containing your catalog. You will find a file with the .lock extension. This is a file created by the catalog, and is automatically deleted when the catalog closes normally. Sometimes it can get left behind. You need to delete that file.
    When Lightroom says that the file cannot be read, it usually means that it cannot be written to the chosen destination. This tends to be a permissions problem in your operating system. Check to make sure you have write permission for the folder you are trying to import your images to.

    This sounds more like a Windows question, than a Firefox question. When you say that an image shows up every time you open your computer, do you mean every time you turn on your computer, or every time you start Firefox?

  • When "Edit in Photoshop" in lightroom photoshop opens the picture but without the changes I made in lightroom

    when "Edit in Photoshop" in lightroom photoshop opens the picture but without the changes I made in lightroom
    Please help me

    Hi mariad91843143,
    To enable the non-destructive workflow and the powerful features of Photoshop CC, the RAW image will need to be opened into Photoshop whilst, in the meantime, keeping our Lightroom changes so that we can work on them later. Instead of using the ‘Edit in Adobe Photoshop’ option in Lightroom – CMD +E (Mac) or CTRL +E (PC) – the option ‘Open as Smart Object in Photoshop’ will be used.
    This is a very useful tutorial to understand how to manage the workflow between Photoshop and Lightroom Canon Professional Network - Lightroom & Photoshop CC workflow (Pt. 1): Smart Objects ....

  • I would like to run the most secure version of firefox on my computer, but my computer does not meet the system requirements for the latest version

    i would like to run the most secure version of firefox on my computer, but my computer does not meet the system requirements for the latest version. is there a way i can have the security of firefox 8 and still be able to run it on my old computer. i currently an running firefox 3.6. it is a bit slow, but it is functional.

    Currently Firefox 3.6.24 is as secure as Firefox 8.0.1 is. Firefox 3.6.x will continue to get security updates until next spring, although the exact date hasn't yet been determined.
    Which of the system requirements are you lacking? <br />
    Processor wise you're stuck with what you got, but RAM can be upgraded. WinXP is still supported in all versions of Firefox and will be continued to be supported until Windows drops support for WinXP sometime in 2014.

  • Numbers 09 not working - I can open the program but only a few files are available, missing blank, checklist and many others. e.g  when I click on a file I get this error: The document "nmbtemplate is invalid. The index.xml file is missing. help.

    Please let me know what I can do to get my Numbers (iWork 09) working properly again.
    Here is what is going on:
    Numbers in iWork 09 not working can't access Blank, Checklist and many other files within Numbers.   I can open the program but only a few files are available. When I click on the file (which also has no icon just the name of the file) this warning appears:
    The document "Blank.nmbtemplate" is invalid.  The index.xml file is missing.
    I recently had to get a new hard drive installed and had the system upgraded and more memory put in by a Mac certified specialist recommended to me from the Apple store in Northbrook because this was the 3rd time my drive went bad but this time it was to old (I got the IMAC- in 2007) and the Apple store could no longer work on it this time so they recommended a few places that had certified Mac specialists.  Since then Numbers is not working right.
    I'm sure it's something simple to fix, but I've tried re installing it and that didn't work.  Appreciate any help.
    Thanks

    There is one way its getting fixed. Once I update my Adobe Illustrator CC to Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 it is further allowing me to go into the system folder and allocate the font to the file so that it can replace it. My only concern now is that our MAC partners who will receive these files back from us have Adobe CS6. We will down save it to CS6 but I hope they won't experience any font issues because of us using CC 2014? Any light you can shed on this?

  • My ipod classic is connected to a new computer, but only sync 241 songs, out 1825.  How can I fix this?

    My ipod classic (80 GB, from 2006) is connected to a new computer, but only sync 241 songs, out 1825.  I have restored several times.  How can I fix this?  my old computer is damaged and the new one run on Windows 8.

    I ran into this same problem earlier with my new iPod classic 160 gb. Turns out it could be your files show in iTunes but they aren't connected to the location those music tracks are actually located.
    Does this make any sense?
    You basically have to make sure iTunes is picking your songs from the right music folder via your preferences.
    Option 1: If your iTunes is completely wiped blank and your music is stored in a safe place, backed up, etc. You can do the following:
    Step A. Preferences > iTunes Media Folder Location > choose folder
    **** please be sure to pick a location that is new or different from where you ACTUALLY stored your music to prevent your files from deleting itself as it updates****
    For example, if you stored your music on your Desktop then you wouldn't choose your music folder to be the one in Desktop. You choose the folder where you want your music to go such as C:\My Music or in Mac, you choose the music folder.
    Step B. Once you choose the folder where all your music is stored and you check the box that says "Keep iTunes Media Folder organized" and "Copy Files to iTunes Media when adding to library."
    Step C. This is the part that will make sense. Drag the folder on desktop that houses all your music into iTunes. Because you checked the box "Copy Files to iTunes Media when adding to library," iTunes will copy all the backup music you dragged into the folder location you designated it in "Preferences > iTunes Media Folder Location > choose folder."
    ---- once all that is done, your itunes will have ALL your music tracks linked to the right location on your computer and your iPod will sync with as many or all of the music you desire.
    Hope this helps.

  • I downloaded the 32 bit version of photoshop cc 2014. When trying to install I get the message that installer failed to initialize and that this could be due to a missing file. Has anybody a solution ?

    Did you unzip the entire contents of the download zip file onto your hard drive before running the installer?  You need to do that.
    I have installed it myself and it went in just fine.

  • Have purchased a new computer but can not install elements 12 since it has been installed on old laptop.  Is there a small fee to be able to do this.  Never installed the video editing portion, can this be installed with no problem?

    Have purchased a new computer but can not install elements 12 since it has been installed on an older laptop.  This is a one time user program, is there a code that can be put in or a small fee to pay to be able to use the program again.  Never installed the video editing and hoping this can be installed with no problem.

    If the laptop is still connected Launch Elements in Expert Mode. Go to the help menu and sign-out. That will deactivate usage on the laptop.

  • TS3989 Photo Stream has 500+ photos on computer but only 11 come up on Apple TV

    Photo Stream has 500+ photos on computer but only 11 come up on Apple TV

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.

  • I have a full version of photoshop on my mac but downloaded a master collection trial, now photoshop will not open because the trial expired.

    I had a full version of CS6 photoshop on my macbook and then downloaded a Masters Collection trial a few months ago.  Photoshop has been working fine until today when I tried to go on, it told me that my trial was over.  I had the full version on my computer before I downloaded the masters collection so I thought it would still work.  Is there a way I can fix this or am I out of luck?  I really don't want to have to buy another version of photoshop again.  (I also have Bridge on my computer too from before downloading the trial and that is still functioning just fine)
