Could not open a volume

Hi!
As getting sensible german support is next to impossible I try it here
I've just installed Windows 8 and CS6
When I start Photoshop I get a message like "could not open a volume...." and "could not initialize Photoshop"
photoshop did create an empty "Adobe Photoshop X64 CS6 Prefs.psp" in "C:\Users\users\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings"
It does start as Administartor but I don't want  to start Photoshop as administrator all the time.
how can I use Photoshop for the first time?

Th00ht have you tried creating a new standard user account to see if you experience the same difficulties there?  The fact that Photoshop is launching successfully under your administrator account would seem to indicate that the User account you are currently using might be too restrictive to allow you to launch the application.

    Hi, Mathew -
    Here is a method that should work provided your G4 is an (AGP) model or later -
    Restart. Immediately press the Option key, keep it held down until Startup Manager displays.
    Article #106178 - Startup Manager: How to Select a Startup Volume
    Once Startup Manager is up, press the Command-. (Command-period) keys. That should open the tray for the optical drive.
    If the drive has a disk in it now, there's an additional technique - boot the machine, immediately press and hold down the mouse button, keep it held down. That's a hardware-based command to eject all removable media.
    If the drive has a button on the door, you can also try restarting, then immediately begin pushing the button - there's a point during the first part of startup where the drive is energized but has not yet begun to spin up, and it should respond to the button push at that time.
    If all attempts fail, it's time to consider whether the drive has failed, or if its cable connections have worked loose.

  • Is my HD Dead? Reformat Disk Utility Error: secure disk erase failed with the error could not open disk.

    Hi,
    Fed up with seeing the spinning beach ball I decided to reformat my MacBook Pro...
    After backing up everything on an external hard drive I put in the OSX install DVD, restarted the machine and held down 'C'.
    I followed the install prcedure, clicking next a few times etc...
    I then went into Utilities > Disk Utility. I chose 7-Pass to erase the Macintosh HD and set it off erasing.
    I checked the process an hour in and message on screen read:
    Secure disk erase failed with the error:
    could not open disk
    The internal hard drive no longer exists in the disk utility so I cant retry erasing it.
    The only thing that appears in disk utility is the OSX install DVD.
    I can't even shut down the mac as everything under the apple tab is greyed out!
    I'm guessing this means my hard drive is broken right?
    If anyone has any other ideas of what to try I'd really appreciate that.
    How do I turn the machine off?
    If my hard drive is gone then should I consider getting an SSD drive?
    Any recommendations for such a drive would be great.
    Hope you can help!

    Did you partition the drive?
    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.

    Istvan

    Hi Istvan! Sorry for the delay in our response! we are in the process
    of building a list of error codes for everyone! in the meantime the 110
    means the following:
    // Couldn't create a new network interface
    #define CC_STATUS_CCS_CANT_CREATE 110
    Is this an NSM integration installation?
    Also, remove the alternate hostname.
    If you don't mind, let's move this support issue to
    filereporter"@"novell.com!
    Thank you!

  • Could not erase target volume, operation timed out

    Hi All,
    Using Netrestore,to image g5 ppc, I can netboot fine, but when they go to erase the target volume, I get Could not erase target volume, operation timed out. When I try to use disk utility in the netrestore, and then get another message that says Macintosh HD could not be unmounted.
    Tony.

    As you've discovered, the system is unable to unmount the internal hard drive. This means that some process is using, or has opened a file on, the internal hard drive.
    If you can get into the terminal, doing an lsof may tell you what process is using the drive.
    The other possibility, if you're trying to NetBoot into a volume and then restore, is that the drive is in use for the shadow file. If that's the case, you should be able to work around this by enabling diskless NetBoot.

  • Could not open PS CS6 because disk not available - new info

    Running PS CS6 on a Mac Pro, Mt. Lion 10.8.1, 10 GB RAM, 3.6 Tb on 4 internal drives. A new problem cropped up just today.  Launching PS brings error msg Could not open because a dik was not aviable, and a 2nd msg Could not open a scratch file . . . .  Removing Prefs  file works, but there's a BUT: I can't change some prefs without the problem reoccurring.
    I can reproduce the following:  reinstall PS CS6, Change 1 preference, namely make another disk the scratch disk, move it to 1st place.  Problem reappears.  It appears I must leave the boot disk as the primary scratch disk.  All my disks are OK, repaired & permissions verified by Disk Util.
    Even if I just clear prefs, verify releaunch is OK, and change this one preference, I get the prob.
    FWIW here are the last few lines from the Console log:
    9/2/12 3:57:12.000 PM kernel[0]: proc 2934: load code signature error 2 for file "Adobe Photoshop CS6"

    The permissions verification (and repair) functions of Disk Utility will not tell you whether a permissions problem is preventing Photoshop from using your non-boot scratch disk. That only checks to see whether directories and files have permissions which match the permissions that they were given at the time of creation or modification by Apple software installer packages.
    My primary "scratch disk" is a non-boot volume. Here are the volume's permissions as seen at the bottom of a Finder Get Info window.

  • InfoSpoke fails with message "Could not open file on application server"

    BW Experts,
    I created an InfoSpoke that is configured to extract to a flat file. The name of the file is specified using a logical filename. During extraction, the infospoke reports the error message "Could not open file on application server" adnd  marks the extraction process as red(failed). I have tried to run the InfoSpoke in background mode and in dialog mode and the same error appears. After i run in dialog mode, i checked SU53 for authorization errors and did not find any. I also tried changing the Logical filename setup in transaction FILE to a more "friendly" directory in which i'm sure i have authorizations (e.g. my UNIX home directory) and im still getting errors.
    Can you please share your thoughts on this? Any help will greatly appreciated. I also promise to award points.

    Hi Nagesh,
    Thanks for helping out.
    If i configure the InfoSpoke to download to a file using "File Name" option and also check the "Application server" checkbox, the extract works correctly (extraction to the defualt SAP path and filename=infospoke name). If i configure the InfoSpoke to download to the local workstation, the InfoSpoke also works correctly. It's only when i configure it to download to the application server and use the "Logical filename" option, that i encounter a failed extract.
    Here are the messages is the Open Hub Monitor:

    hmmm. okay, if you're currently just getting the "itunes has encountered an error ..." let's try the following technique.
    preliminaries
    download and save a fresh copy of the itunes 6.0.1.3 installer to your hard drive. (eventually we're going to run the install from there rather than online.)
    iTunes 6.0.1.3 Installer
    switch off any antivirus and antispyware applications prior to any uninstalls, installs or repair installs.
    uninstall
    use the complete uninstall instructions given in the following document to remove your existing itunes and quicktime:
    Troubleshooting iTunes, iPod Software, and QuickTime installation on Windows
    ... and if you run into problems on the uninstall, try using the Installer Cleanup utility:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    reboot after uninstalling.
    reinstall
    remember to switch off your antivirus and antispyware.
    reinstall itunes using the 6.0.1.3 installer you downloaded previously.
    if you get the "itunes has encountered a problem ..." error message again after that install, first check to see if your Quicktime will launch. if you get an error message when you try to launch quicktime, try using the following technique:
