Can't access scratch file on CS6 startup

I just installed Photoshop CS6, on my new PC.  I previously installed Photoshop CC but have decided not to upgrade to that version yet.
When I start either the 32-bit or 64-bit version of CS6, I immediately get a message saying that it could not open a scratch file because it is locked, or I do not have permissions (I have administrator privileges).  The message urges me to go to "Properties" with Windows Explorer but does not tell me where the file is located.
My PC has an SSD (C: drive) with enough space for the Photoshop program (installed there) but I do not want any scratch file installed there.  I just brought up Photoshop CC and see that the D drive is specified as the scratch drive.
Am I not able to run Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CC (not at the same time) on the same PC?  How should I solve this problem?
Will uninstalling Photoshop CC solve my problem?  I'd like to try a few more things with it before deciding whether to lease it (I am NOT a heavy Photoshop user).

I got the 64-bit version to work by holding down Ctrl-Alt-Shift and setting the scratch drive to "D".
But the 32-bit version still does not work and I need it because I have a scanner and Adobe Twain plug-in only works with 32-bit version.

  • All my desktop icons are Adobe Reader icons, can't access related files

    I was trying to open a file this morning, and when a pop-menu asked what application I wanted to choose (from a list) to open it, I clicked on Adobe Reader - just as a guess.   After that,  just about all my desktop icons are Adobe icons, and when I click on them, the pop up menus says I can't access the file.   These icons also show up on my menu of all my MS Office programs like Outlook, Word, Excel,  etc. 
    Tech support at Adobe recommended I use System Restore, but it also is now an Adobe icon, so I can't open it.    If anyone can help reverse this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks,
    David

    Hi,
    This also happened to me this morning. Now all my icons are PDF symbols and Reader opens when I try to open any other program. I uninstalled Reader it and it fixed itself but when I reinstalled the program the same issue occurred.
    I wanted to make PDF reader the default application when openning PDF's vs. Distiller, tinkered and broke my computer.
    Any clues on how to bring everything back to normaL?

  • I can not open raw files in cs6 extended ,my camera is Nikon D 800E.

    I can not open raw files in cs6 extended ,my camera is Nikon D 800E.
    Hope some one can help me.

    The D800E is definitely supported in Camera Raw 7.1 which is compatible with CS6.
    Which version of Camera Raw are you running?
    Win: Help > About Plug-In > Camera Raw
    Mac: Photoshop > About Plug-In > Camera Raw
    If you're already on 7.1, what exactly happens when you try to open Raw files from that camera?

  • Can you open freehand files in CS6?

    can you open freehand files in CS6? I have been using both illustrator & freehand for 15 years & have thousands of work files being freehand.
    It seems very disappointing to have to keep an old version of illustrator just to open these files. I also find it interesting that many of the key tools that freehand had over illustrator are not translated into the newer versions of illustrator. Something simple like you still can't have a unique picture bullet • before text in illustrator. In freehand you could cut & paste any graphic into the text you were designing.

    No. The conversion plugin didn't make it into CS6 so the last import function was CS5.5 
    It seems very disappointing to have to keep an old version of illustrator just to open these files.
    At this point, it is the only way to make your files convert into Illustrator although I've had some luck with exporting to EPS or (if your FH graphics are simple enough) save as AI format. Keep your eyes on this project however : http://www.stagestack.com/

    As a fellow FreeHand user, I couldn't agree more. Other users of both programs have said this endlessly over the years here. A litany of features are still m.i.a. since FHMX was acquired years ago... including inline graphics. It's almost comical.

  • Can I access my files stored in the hard disk connected to airport extreme when I am away? how?

    Can I access my files stored in the hard disk connected to airport extreme when i am away? How?

    You can't technically. iPads cannot directly read HDDs like a computer can. 
    You will need an app liie FileBrowser to do this. Of course all file operations will be done through the App itself.

  • How can we access the file/directory system in the server

    Hi friends,
    I have made a text editor attached with an audio player for my project.
    Both text editor and audio player are implemented in applet and put in to a
    jsp page using jsp:plugin. Text editor and player are separate applets running
    in the same page and from same server.A client who is using this editor may
    want to save the edited text files to the server as well as hear audio files from
    directories in the server.
    My question is how can we access the file/directory system in the server
    like we do in the local machine.When the user cliks save or openfromserver button
    in the editor, folder/files in the server must be displayed as we do with FileChooser.
    I am using Apache Tomcat 5,wiindows 2000 server, jdk1.5.
    manu

    You can't access it directly. But your applet can make net connections to the server, and the server can provide that kind of functionality. Generally this is easiest by making HTTP connections and having the server provide the functionality via the web server. (So in your case, JSPs or servlets on the server would list/deliver/create/modify/delete files, and the applets would invoke those JSPs and servlets.

  • Can i get the time capsule to automatically back up my file from my Mac Book Air but have certain files which are only stored on the time capsule and not the computer? Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?

    You can, but how are you going to back up those other files?  When (not if) your Time Capsule fails, you risk losing them.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.
    Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?
    Not sure what you mean.  You have to connect a computer, either via Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to read or write to the disk. 

  • How can I access video file from sd card on ipad2?

    How can I access video file from sd card on ipad2?

    Your iPad 2 will see the video if:
    It's in a DCIM folder on the top level of the card (which is how most cameras do it)
    It's name is 8 characters, no more, no less (CKDI9483 for example)
    It's a format that the iPad will play
    I've made mp4's of things, folderized them right and named them 'right' and can transfer them to my iPad, so you can use a computer to make the files conform to what the iPad will see.

  • Can I access local files?

    I am writing an application using Adobe Air that will have to utilize and store media files locally on a user's computer.  My marketing team now believes that a downloadable application that will be installed on a user's computer will be a dealbreaker for some users due to the fear of a virus, so now they are suggesting that we will have better sales numbers if people just need to log into a website to use the application.  No problem, Air applications can be embedded into a website.  But can an Air application embedded in a browser still store and manipulate files on a user's computer?  Storing media files for a large number of individuals can become cost prohibitive, so rather than store them online, we would like to create a folder on a user's system to organize their files.  Is this possible with a web-embedded Air application?
    Thanks.

    AIR applications are always installed on the user's computer. You cannot run an AIR application on a website. On a web page, you can include a link to download or install an AIR application.
    AIR applications can access local files.
    Flash Player applications can also access local files, but the user first grants permission. For example, see the FileReference.load() and FileReference.save() methods (added in Flash Player 10):

  • InDesign CC, can't export to html, can't access unneeded file

    In the latest build of InDesign CC (July 2014), the export process to HTML has changed. You used to be able to export a book directly to filtered HTML files. Now the option is no longer in the Book menu, and you must go through the main menu, which does not allow filtered HTML option. I keep getting a crash when I open the resulting HTML file, "Can't access .jar file from SiteBuilder,"--a Yahoo HTML creation program, which I formerly used. The book file contains  only embedded jpg photo files and InDesign documents for chapters, but it calls for this unrelated and unconnected .jar file. Also, It is impossible to choose the "From Selection" option, only the "From Document" option, so I can't export the whole book into HTML, which previous versions enabled me to do.I'm stuck, and now Adobe has stopped offering phone support to subscribers. After wasting a whole day on this single issue, I'm fed up. Is it time to scrap InDesign?  Also, how do you edit an e-pub file created by InDesign? (It misplaces the photo captions)  Dreamwdeavce should be able to do it, but I can't figure out how. Any help would be appreciated. Peter

    Export the file from ID as an .idml file and open that resaving as an.indd file with a new name. That should strip out the reference to the unused file.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.

    Have you checked your security software is allowing access for iTunes, which security software are you using.

  • HT1145 I can't see my files on my USB shared drive.  It shows there is lots of space taken up, but I can't access the files via my Mac.

    I can't see my files on my USB shared drive.  It shows there is lots of space taken up, but I can't access the files via my Mac.  How do I see them?  I also can't see them on my iPad using FileBrowser.

    You don't have access to it to configure it via Time Machine? You lost me on that one, Time Machine is used for Backup.
    Here is a basic article on the first setup and what you should see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1178
    To configure Time Capsule you should be using "Airport Utility" 5.3 or higher that is located in the Utilities folder. You can tell if its version 5.3 because the icon will have blue lines instead of orange lines like the older versions. Since you are running Leopard 10.5.6 and you ran Software Update you are probably already running the latest 5.3 version.
    The light flashing amber means you haven't entered enough information so that it can get to the internet. Once you have that info entered the light will turn green.
    If your absolutely sure your CAT5 cables are good you can try a hard reset. I think you have to push the reset button on the back and hold it for 5 seconds or so until the amber light blinks rapidly, then when you release the button it does the reset then.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1300?locale=en_US
    Hope this helps! If not I would probably call AppleCare support or see if you can exchange it.
