Cannot initiate photoshop

Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked, you don’t have necessary access permisions, or another program is using the file. Use the proprerties command in windows explorer to unlock the file.
Could not initialize photoshop because the file is locked…
this is the message i get

It very much tells you what it says - you don't have sufficient user privileges/ file permissions to create a scratch file. Check the PS prefs and define anotehr scratch disk and then fix your permissions. Right-click the drive, choose Properties, then be eneawed by the magic of the Security tab...

How do you get of hold of anyone at Adobe for help? Cannot download Photoshop CC.

I could not update Photoshop CC from Creative Cloud desktop or online. I need Raw 8.3 to be compatible with Lightroom. It is impossible to get a hold of anyone at Adobe for help. Found their chat link once after much searching, someone finally answered then told me they were closing for the day and to call back the next day. Could never find the chat link again. Tried uninstalling PhotoshopCC because I saw that somewhere in the forum but still cannot download Photoshop CC. Got error code U43M1U49 and said to retry or contact customer support. Yeah right! Totally frustrated with Adobe. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Triste,
If you're having difficulties getting updates for your tools using the Creative Cloud Desktop app, then you can try downloading them without it by using the direct links for the CC updates on Windows or on Mac OS, for all CC apps.

Then stop trying to use HomeShare and use one of the other options listed in the document from which your question was posted.

Cannot install Photoshop CS4 on Windows Vista Business

Ok people, looking for some help with this. I have a new PC (less than 2 months old). I cannot get Photoshop CS4 installed at all. I'm sure there have been a million threads like this before asking the same question. Although I am a newb to Photoshop I am certainly not when it comes to computers, this is what I do for a living. I can't even believe I am actually having to ask for help.... :\
Anyway, help appreciated. I have Windows Vista Business SP1 (32-bit), and its running on a Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 @ 2.5GHz with 4 gig of RAM. I have plenty of free space on my hard drives.
When the install completes, I get the same error message, installed with errors. When I click to see the error info it says something about language packs (I can get the exact error if you want, just installed and uninstalled about 10 times but hey).
Things I have tried a few times have been to follow through all the other threads and the Adobe support pages - Uninstalling the product through Programs first, running Windows Install Cleanup, running the Adobe CS4 Clean Script - when I do these things in this order both of the cleanup utilities don't find any installs of Photoshop CS4, so it doesn't appear they are doing anything. I have disabled everything on the PC, done a selective startup, turned off UAC, firewall, anti-virus - everything suggested. Still, the same error persists.
I have even run my Registry Mechanic and cleaned up that, and of course checked registry permissions etc. Please help!

You may want to install Vista SP2. It contains a lot of fixes and has the newer 4.5 installer.
Also if Vista is set for English then CS4 has to be set as US English upon install (I think someone already pointed that out).
Before install go services and set the windows installer to auto and start it. Also good idea to turn off windows defender.
Go to MSconfig and turnoff as many start up items that you don't need running (you will have to reboot).
Ensure nothing Adobe related is running in the back ground before install. (someone already mention this I think)
Anti-virus: I turned mine off during install.
I did not install AIR nor Device Central on my system as I would never use them.

Anyone else have any idea what might be causing my problem? The other thing I was going to try was contacting Adobe support, but can I do this for the trial version? When I tried to log a case it kept asking me to select my product, but I don't have one yet....
Thanks.

I just bought a new iMac and used the Migration Assistant to transfer my files. Initially, all was working, but now a week later, I get the message that the application manager is missing, and I cannot get Photoshop and InDesign to launch.

Cannot get Photoshop Elements 10 Trial to Install - Windows 7 64-bit

Hi,
I cannot get Photoshop Elements 10 Trial to Install - Windows 7 64-bit. I downloaded the trail of Photoshop CS6 just fine. I am trying to download the trial of Photoshop Elements 10. I get the adobe installer window and I login in and select my PSE 10 Trial and the installation begins and I have it saved to my desktop. When the installation finishes nothing happens. There is a Photoshop Elements folder on my desktop but it is empty. I have tried a couple of time with the same result.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi Ken,
I apologize for not making myself clear. What I meant by "saving to desktop" was when I I went to download the the trial of PSE 10 the install window will ask me where I want to save the file. It is defaulted (highlighted) to save to "my documents" but I selected to save the file to my desktop. I tried to install the trial of Photoshop Elements 10 again and this time it did install and is working.
Thanks again for responding.

You cannot run Photoshop CS on a new Intel-based Mac running OS X Mavericks. CS is far too old.
You'll have to buy Photoshop CS6 or Photoshop Elements 12. Or subscribe to CC.

Cannot use PhotoShop CS6 after trial expired, even after purchasing Creative Cloud Student Edition

Hi.
I had PhotoShop CS6 trial, which expired.
I have purchased Creative Cloud student edition, I receive a message that my PhotoShop trial has expired.
I am prompted to purchase the product to extend it, or type in the product's serial number
(I never received a serial number.)
I paid for Creative Cloud and have an order number, I should not be having this issue.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled PhotoShop CS6 multiple times, I also use DreamWeaver and am fearful that I will encounter the same issue. How can I use the Photoshop CS6 after I have paid for it?
Curonda in Milwaukee, WI.

Hi.
The trial expired 2 weeks ago - Monday.
I purchased the Cloud Yesterday, also 2 weeks ago Monday 10/15/2012.
I purchased it twice thinking 1 purchase did not complete.
I still will need to request a refund for 1, I've been too busy between, work, school, and kid. I'm at work now.

Curonda,
Can you let us know the date when your trial expired and when you bought the Creative Cloud Subscription?
Thanks

Cannot start Photoshop Elements 8 - scratch file error

Admittedly, I posted this in the wrong forum: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3020052#3020052. Also, I resolved my issue, but I'm posting this because it's apparent other are having the same issue and maybe this will help them.
When attempting to launch Photoshop Elements 8 on a brand new, core I7 MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard, I got an error message that PSe was unable to create a scratch file due to insufficient permissions. I've seen others having this issue, and here is what I have tried:
1. Use Disk Utility - repair permissions -- no change
2. Allow my account, which is an administrator to read/write to root drive (manually changed permissions). No change.
3. Started PSe while holding Option Command and attempted to change scratch file location from "Start" to "Macintosh HD" - no change.
4. Multiple uninstalls, manually deleted plist/prefs followed by reinstalls - no change
I read all the posts I could find on this topic and advice I received was:
"2) Check your disk/folder permissions -- because they are messed up, as previously discussed in this topic (even though it's about Windows)."
This did not resolve the issue. I think this is a PSe bug that should be filed/fixed. As I said, this is a brand new machine and fresh install.
What did work for me after trying the above: Plugged in a FAT32-formatted Western Digital USB external drive and started PSe. PSe was able to start and I've been able to use app.
Again, I think this is a PSe bug.

Ahh, a point I failed to see Have you tried resetting the Photoshop preference file? Hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Opt+Shift as you initiate Photoshop's startup. Select "yes" when asked if you would like to continue with reset.
