CS6 Photoshop Update blacking out my workspace!!!

Someone help me--I am VERY busy as this is wedding season--I have THOUSANDS OF IMAGES and now Photoshop is blacking out whenever I make a selection. The navigation screen still shows the image but the workspace goes blank till I click on it--which undo's the selection!!! Everthing was fine till this morning when I was told there was an update--I want to back in time : (
HELP!!! I am too busy for this!!
Thank very, very much!!

Good day!
Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

I am too busy for this!!
I know that factoring in »unforeseeable problems« is close to an oxymoron but working under a schedule that will not allow for any »unforeseeable problems« seems very optimistic.

Photoshop 5: blacking out when I use certain tools

I have Photoshop 5. Everything is up to date.
Most of the time when I use the crop tool or patch tool, it will black out when I am circling what I want to change or crop. I can't see what I'm cropping, I just have guess, and the same thing with my crop tool. It's been happening for a very long time. Almost since I first purchased it.

Do you really mean the ancient, obsolete Photoshop 5? Or did you mean Photoshop CS5 a.k.a. Photoshop 12.x?
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.

Bridge CS6, preference pane black out

The preferences window in Bridge is mostly blacked out, I have tried un-installing and then re-installing it from my account in the Cloud but it's still the same.
I have tried making the main work area etc as white as possible but it doesn't change the prefs window, it remains mainly black!
Any ideas anyone?window

There was a similar post on photoshop forum where dropdown box was black. May have a similar solution for Bridge. Here is response to question.

MacOS - did you use a utility like Onyx to "clean" or "slim down" your system?
When we've seen this in the past, it's been due to a corrupt OS install, usually from a utility attempting to "clean" the OS install.
Reinstalling the OS solves the problem.
(reinstalling Photoshop won't do anything, nor deleting Photoshop's preferences - which tells us that the problem is not with Photoshop files)
Chris does also not like MacSweeper for same reasons.

Premiere CS6 reference monitor blacks out!!

I am using PPCS6 on a windows 7 machine and it has been fine up until today, now the reference monitors on screen and my external monitors just keep going black and I have to save, exit and open it again for clear it but it only lasts a couple of minutes before it does it again.
No plug ins, updates etc were installed since yesterday when it was working fine.
Any help?

Welcome to the forum.
The first thing that I would investigate would be my video driver(s).
What is the make and model of your video card?
What is the currently installed version and date, for the video driver?
Is that the latest from nVidia, or AMD/ATI? If not, download, install and test the latest version.
Good luck,
Hunt

CS6 Photoshop Update Option Does Not Run

I ran the Update option once, mainly to get the ACR 8.2 version. It looked like all the files downloaded successfully and that the update process started. Then nothing.
- Clicking Update has no effect. There are absolutely no error messages.
- Downloading the ACR 8.2 file and trying to run the AdobePatchInstaller.exe file does nothing.
- Removing the Adobe Application Manager (AAM) Cache accomplished nothing.
- Trying to run the AAM does nothing.
A popup message just informed me that there are 9 Adobe updates available and to launch AAM. Which, of course, accomplishes nothing.
A support person on Live Chat said this is a known issue.
What I need is a known solution. I'm running Win7 Pro, SP1, 64-bit, 8Gb RAM, GeForce GT 630 Nvidia chipset graphics card.
Thank you.

Update AAM after downloading from below link.

Try Help->Updates again, if it still does not resolve your issue, Please let me know.

Photoshop Blacked Out Menu Bug

I have a strange bug I have only been able to find in one or two places online with no answers.
All of my navigation menus are completely blacked out with dark grey text on top. Certain menus are completely blacked out and show absolutely nothing. When I mouseover the text becomes a readable grey but it makes actions much more difficult as I have to mouse over every single option.
Are there any solutions to this bug?
I have uninstalled/reinstalled, updated ATI drivers, contacted support, etc and have found no solution.
I am using purchased Photoshop CS3 & I am running Win 7 x64 w /i5-3570k w/ ATI Sapphire 7950
Here are some screenshots of what happens:

Either you have a corrupt install of Photoshop, a bad video card driver, or some utility on your system modifying the way UI is drawn (like WindowBlinds).

Photoshop Creative Cloud flickers and blacks out

I posted this in the Creative Cloud forum, but was told to post it here.   I am sure it is only a Photoshop Creative Cloud problem.
I am using Photoshop Creative Cloud, on trial. I have been using Photoshop, desktop version, for 20 years. Never saw this problem on it.
PS CC flickers and blacks out. Many times, many different files, many different actions cause this.    Right now, I am editing a photo, and using the Magic Wand tool to select areas that I will remove from photo.   PS CC is flickering on my screen, on/off.    Sometimes it goes completely black.
I can see the menus, but the image itself is flickering on/off. Mostly off.
Thanks

Yes flecking is a common problem. If happen for many bugs. That is why I posted the search instead of trying to answer your question for you posted little information bout your problem. In the guidelines you will see
=============================
Supply pertinent information for quicker answers
The more information you supply about your situation, the better equipped other community members will be to answer. Consider including the following in your question:
Adobe product and version number
Operating system and version number
The full text of any error message(s)
What you were doing when the problem occurred
Screenshots of the problem
Computer hardware, such as CPU; GPU; amount of RAM; etc.
=================================================
Information like that help to identify if you have a known problem from what your using and help pinpoint where the problem may be .   Even if you have the latest OS it its updates. The latest video driver and the latest Photoshop update does not mean you will not have any software and hardware bugs. Just because there have be problem reported about flecking in Photoshop in all supported Platforms OS versions does not mean that there is a single common problem in Photoshop. All it means is that flickering is a common side effect caused by bugs.

27 inch thunderbolt display blacks out after Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2

Bought 2 new 27 inch TB displays for two different machines and after a couple of days the Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2 appears on my Mac Pro with one of the displays installed. So I install the firmware update. Now my display blacks out periodically and I keep getting Graphic Display Errors with a request to sent the errors to Apple. Running a 32 GB Mac Pro (late 2013 circular style) I have three monitors connected (two 20 inch cinema displays and the new 27 inch display). This machine is supposed to be able to handle three 4k monitors or 6 standard TB displays. I've seen the posts about the blacking out with this monitor but I didn't have any problems before the firmware update and now I've got them pretty regularly. I had the blacking out problem on an earlier monitor and took one of the monitors back and Apple gave me another one and this is the replacement. Same problem, but this one only started after the update. I'm hoping someone from Apple reads these messages and can let me know what's up.
BTW, I also have an older 27 inch Apple monitor that ran perfectly on this machine so I'm disappointed that I spent all this money and now get the blacking out issue.
Mac Pro (Late 2013)
Processor 3.7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5
Memory 32 BG
Graphics AMD FirePro D300 2048 MB

I have my Thunderbolt display connected to my MacBook Pro and have been experiencing the same issue, getting worse over time. The folks at my local Apple store did not know what to do about it. So, I looked around and tried different thing.
The one thing that seems to be working is to System Preferences > Build-in Display > uncheck “Automatically adjust brightness.”
I hope this helps.

If you didn't back up the phone to iCloud or iTunes (on your computer) BEFORE attempting the update, the data will be lost.

Web dialoge boxes blacked out after safari update

After the last update to Safari 5.1.7 (7534.57.2) web dialoge boxes are blacked out in google Sketchup Ver. 8. The only reason (we) suspect it was Safari is a recent thread at Sketucation fourm in which many users of Sketchup that use Lion 10.7.4 seem to be the only ones effected by this maybe someone here can shed some light. There seems to be a workaroud in Sketchup by changing some css file but it's not working fo all dialoge boxes.

Since the time i Have updated the firmware screen doesnt gets blacked out, when on call after the new update. Because of this option automatically get selected by getting touched cheecks.
any solution?

Please try to update your plugins [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/] Flash is out of date.
Also the Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
'''For Firefox versions previous to 29.0:'''
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]] button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
'''For Firefox 29.0 and above:'''
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
