Can't start Photoshop up anymore - HELP!!

I recently got my new MacBook Pro and installed Adobe creative suite on to it with no problems. I have been using Photoshop/Illustrator/InDesign etc all week with no problems.
The other day I installed The sims, Champioship Manager, C&C Generals and the software that came with my new mighty mouse. I went to show a friend something in Photoshop and all it keep doing was crashing with the following message "the application photoshop quit unexpectedly". I have tried shutting down the Mac and trying to re-open photoshop again but it just keeps giving me the same message. I even tried reinstalling it (twice!) but when I go to start it up it just keeps doing the same thing!
I can only presume that one of the games or the Mighty mouse software is interfering with something in Photoshop. I don't know how to uninstall the games and mighty mouse software (there is nothing on the game discs that shows how to uninstall) and the same for the mighty mouse.
I am completely stumped, it's sooooo frustrating as I really ned to get into photoshop.
Can anyone suggest anything? I really need your help!!
Thanks in advance guys

OK.. I'm not an expert.. but if it happened to me, I'd go into the following folder and remove everything that's related to Adobe.
From HD ROOT
Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support > Adobe*
Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences > Adobe Systems*
Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences >
Under USERS in Home
Users > username > Library > Application Support > Adobe*
Users > username > Library > Preferences > com.adobe.photoshop.plist*
Users > username > Library > Preferences > com.adobe.ami.installer.plist*
One or all of the following...
Users > username > Library > Preferences > Adobe Photoshop CS Paths*
Users > username > Library > Preferences > Adobe Photoshop CS Setting* (folder)
OR/AND
Users > username > Library > Preferences > Adobe Photoshop CS2 Paths*
Users > username > Library > Preferences > Adobe Photoshop CS2 Setting* (folder)
OR/AND
Users > username > Library >
Preferences > Adobe Photoshop CS3 Paths*
Users > username > Library > Preferences > Adobe Photoshop CS3 Setting* (folder)
Deleted the all those files, or at least place it in the trash. Before you reinstall!
Chances are it's not the application that's at fault, but something's being corrupted or misplaced, when you installed the other applications.
tip:
If your already using the latest version of MacOSX, you don't need to install the Mighty Mouse software, it's already built into your OS.

I can't start photoshop elements anymore

When I bought my laptop (a packard bell easynote) about a year ago, it included both photoshop elements and premiere elements version 9. I've been using these programs ever since. However, last saturday, suddenly neither of the programs would start. I can't get any further than the start screen and it doesn't show any error messages. Since the programs came with my laptop I don't have a serial number or any software, so I can't reinstall them. Any suggestions as to how I can resolve this issue?

It’s possible that you have made changes or installed new programs that have caused a conflict. You could try a system restore to an earlier date. But try one more thing.
Hold down the Ctrl+Alt+Shift Keys and right click on the exe file and choose open.
You should get the settings pop-up dialog.
Click yes and wait whilst elements re-builds the preferences.

Did you upgrade to Lion just before setting up iCloud? that's more likely to be the issue. PhotoShop CS2 is a PPC program and won't run on Lion - on Snow Leopard it requires Rosetta to emulate PPC, and this is not included in Lion. CS3 and lateer apparently work though with issues.
Click on the program's icon in the Finder and hit command-i. Near the top of the pane it will say 'Kind': if it says 'PowerPC' then this is the problem. It will not run on Lion and there is no workaround. You will need to revert to Snow Leopard (you could install this on an external disk and start up from that).

Can't start Photoshop Subscription because of expired trial-version.

I tested the CS6 Photoshop Extended Trial-version and after it expired I bought "Photoshop CS6 Subscription Edition (monthly)". I downloaded and installed it. Now when I start it all I see is the "Trial expired"-window.
I tried de- and re-installing everything, tried cleaning the registry, tried the Adobe CS removal tool – nothing helped.
The "Trial expired"-window has a button to enter a serial number, but the monthly subscription didn't come with one – I checked all "My Adobe" subpages I could find. There wasn't a serial number in E-Mails either.
Hope someone can help, thanks alot!

I could finally fix the problem with the help of Adobe support. For everyone with the same problem:
1. Deinstall Photoshop.
2. Delete the following files (replace "Programme" with the Program Files-Folder of your language):
C:\Programme (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\caps\"caps.db"
C:\Programme (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\backup\"caps.db"
C:\Programme (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\caps\"media_db.db"
C:\Programme (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\"pcd.db"
C:\Programme (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache\"cache.db"
3. Redownload and reinstall Photoshop.
4. Start Photoshop and login with your Adobe-ID.
Done!

Can't start Photoshop without deleting preferences file

Hi gang,
I have a Macbook Pro running Lion, OS X 10.7 that I purchased two months ago so it's relatively new. Just bought Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended and installed it on the computer a day ago. Software will not operate unless I hold option+command+shift when starting so that the preferences file is deleted. I'm hoping someone knows how to help me reset things.
I suspect that the problem stems from a plugin that I deposited into the plugins folder, because the software was working at first. I didn't piece this together until after the fact, but once I fired up the software a couple times after installing it, it worked fine each time. I noodled around and checked some things out to see what's new in CS5, then I went ahead and deposited a favorite plugin into the plugins folder. Things stopped working after this. Not positive the plugin is related, but thought I should mention it.
I removed the plugin of course, to no avail. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the software three times. No difference. When I open the software without deleting the prefs file, it's just buggy and non-responsive. Can't start a new project, and thing just end up crashing every time. The software is useless without deleting the prefs file when firing it up.
Is there any hope of restoring things to normal? Thanks very much!

Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated?
As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by keeping command-alt-shift pressed on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html
Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)
If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.

Hi Saab955C,
I wondered if something related to permissions might be the underlying cause.
You might try creating a new admin account, launching Photoshop from there and see if hitting the Participate button works.

Can't start Photoshop - 'Could not open a scratch file'

Hi, I recently installed Photoshop CS5, however every time I open the application, I am receiving this error message at the loading screen:
"Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to unlock the file or change permissions on the file or enclosing folders."
I've looked online for solutions everywhere, but I've obviously been unsuccessful and I'm at the point where I have no idea what else to try, other than a clean install of my OS, however that is a last resort as I currently do not have an external hard drive to transfer my files to do so. So far I have tried these things:
Reinstalled Photoshop many times, even the CS6 BETA is giving me the same error.
Deleted preference files within /Library/Preferences/
Used the cmd+alt shortcut when starting Photoshop to select a different scratch disk location.
Used the cmd+alt+shift shortcut to delete the settings file, which I cannot do as the error message mentioned above appears before the window for deleting the settings file does.
Tried rebooting several times, even into safemode and I still get the same message.
Tried changing the permissions on the Applications folder, Adobe folder, CS5 folder and CS5 application, however they are all set to 'read & write access' for me. I am also set as an administrator.
Cleaned my cache of any unneccessary files.
I have also repaired my permissions using Disk Utility, but that didn't solve the problem.
I have a 2010 Macbook Pro, 4GB RAM running OS X Lion 10.7.3 with 2 patitions on my harddrive (OS X and Windows 7). I have 15GB free on my OS X partition currently, which may not seem like much, however I have run Photoshop CS5 previously as a trial and other versions of Photoshop and the small amount of harddrive space has never affected the software's ability to create a scratch file.
The strange thing, however, is that I can use Photoshop CS5 & CS6 on a guest account that I created recently, which means that the problem I am having is permissions based. Logging into a seperate account is a good enough solution for now, but it is incredibly tedious to keep changing accounts just to use Photoshop.
Has anyone got any other ideas? As I mentioned previously, reinstalling is a last resort as I currently don't have the neccessary resources.
Thanks.

I managed to fix this myself, almost by accident, after failing every method suggested that I came across.
My problem was due to 'read only' access being set to some folders in ~/private/ on my main account, meaning that Photoshop could not create an important, temporary scratch file in this location.
To anyone else who comes across this thread due to having the same problem, here's the solution:
Open finder, then go to 'Go' in the menu bar and select 'Go to folder'
In the window that opens, enter '/private/' and click 'Go'
Then, right click on the folder 'tmp' within /private/ and select 'Get info'
In here, scroll to the permissions section and change the relevent user permissions to 'read and write'
Before closing this window, click on the gear icon underneath the list of users and select 'Apply to enclosed items' and hit 'Ok' in the next window.
Finally, repeat steps 3 - 5 for the folder named 'var', also within /private/ and you're done. Photoshop should now open as intended!
Although this solution was ideal for my home laptop, giving 'read and write' access to important folders like these can probably lead to lowered security so please do it at your own risk.

Can't start Photoshop CS6

I can't start my Photoshop CS6 during I'm using a mandatory active directory user accout to login to the computer. How can I fix it?

If it worked before reset the preferences. Start PS and immediately hold down the ctrl alt shift (cmd option shift on mac) keys. If fast enough you will get a reset window.

HELP: I can not start Photoshop

Today he appeared a strange problem with Photoshop CS4. When I boot window appears with the license agreement (which did not before) I give to accept and close the window.
Nothing more, Photoshop will not start. I am desperate because I did not figure the solution.
Can you help?

What OS do you have? Go to Start, start search, type in MSconfig. Click on MSconfig, startup and ensure Adone CS4 Service manager is checked.
Also try trashing your Prefs by either the keyboard or the manual way by reading this:

Can't open Photoshop CS2 anymore!!

After several months of being a satisfied Photoshop User, I suddenly cannot open Photoshop CS 2. I keep getting the message: "An error has been detected with a required application library and the product cannot continue. Please reinstall the application." Other information is not given.
I tried reinstalling Photoshop CS several times, restarting, deleting even userfiles, and so on. Nothing works. From the message I'm given I take it there's a specific Windows file that is missing or something not from Adobe itself, which I had before. I did have my AntiVirus running before but I can't find any removed files in there. All other applications run fine, only Adobe seems to have problems so far.
I also tried to follow the Support files here on the site, but the solutions they give there do not fix the problem! Photoshop starts normally, I see the startup screen just fine, but then I get that message again.
Is there anyone who can help me out please? I'm quite desperate.

What does any of this have to do with the SDK? I dunno. That's where the original post was. That's where I posted a link directing the conversation to a more appropriate forum.
And that's where you jumped in to continue the thread with sound advice* like "stuff is broken" and "figure it out." Similar to the Adobe corporate response to this issue: spoken with authority, but of little practical value.
*Unaware, apparently, that this attempt at a fix has been tried and found wanting by users everywhere, as a simple Google Web and Group search shows.

Can´t start Photoshop CS3 Windows

When I start PS CS3, by initializing the pallets ("Paletten werden initialisiert" (German message) the window closed and does nothing more.
After uninstalling and new installation the same happened.
What can I do?
Is there an uninstalling tool from adobe, which removes all registry keys?
I hope you can help me.
Greetings from Germany

Try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.ef4a07f/1
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

Updated to windows 8.1 now can't install Photoshop Elements 12, HELP PLEASE

I am having such a terrible time getting Photoshop Elements 12 to install on my computer. I've had Dell software support and Adobe support's help but they could only get to the point of JUST the editor being installed. The organizer and the ability to go online never gets installed. After all the files are downloaded and the installation begins a box comes up and wants to uninstall the program. I couldn't get past this part but the software tech got past it. I have spent hours and days trying to get this installed. I've been a big fan of Adobe products but this is the first time I haven't gotten the HELP I need. It has to be a software issue because i've downloaded other programs with no problems. I even went out and brought an external cd/dvd burner and tried installing from the hard cd only to have the same problem pop up. If it helps, I got the Windows 8.1 update maybe this is the problem. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP ME!!!

Hi @gsh987 ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Notebook and the brightness control on Windows 8.1 not working correctly after an update. I would uninstall all the display adapters that are in the device manager and restart the Notebook. Check to see if if it put an adapter back in , right click on the driver and update.
If that does not help I would uninstall the Graphics drivers restart the Notebook and it should reinstall the correct driver for you.
Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that need updating.
I would be happy to assist if needed. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Please let me know.
Thanks.

Can't Start Photoshop

Ever since I loaded Epson and SilverFast scanning software
Photoshop will not start. I've reloaded Photoshop several times;
no luck. Other CS programs open fine. I've removed scanning
software; no luck. Help. Thanks.

The answer is at
http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/330344.html
basically
1. Go to Applications/Photoshop CS2 /Plug-Ins/Import/Export, and highlight the Twain.plugin to rename it.
2. Add a tilde (~) in front of the name to disable it, or drag the plug-in to the desktop.
However this will disable the ability to scan directly into PS and you are then waiting for the scanner driver writer to fix their driver.
