CS6 stops opening files

Is anyone having issues with CS6 occasionally not opening files after closing the first file opened?
This issues corrects itself after rebooting the app and seems to occurs sporadically.
- MacBook Pro 2012
- OS 10.8.2
- 8 GB RAM
- Illustrator CS6 v16.2.0

I am having the same issues. I haven't noticed anything about 'after closing the first file opened'. It just seems to happen after about a half an hour, no matter what. I can use Illustrator CS6 for only so long and then it won't open any more files and I have to close it down and restart it. And these are files created in CS6. And as you said, it happens whether I double click the file or use the open command. Very frustrating. I thought it was a glitch in the software or are we the only two having this problem?
I'm working on a Mac Pro OSX v10.7.4
Illustrator CS6 - v16.0.0

  • After Effects CS6 connot open files created with CC 12.1 Mac version

    After Effects CS6 connot open files created with CC 12.1 Mac version. Is there an update?
    I am running Windows 7 Pro and Adobe CS6 Suite with all updates

    You are never able to open projects from one version of After Effects in an earlier version. This has always been the case.
    You can use the command File > Save As > Save A Copy As CS6 to save a version of the project from After Effects CC (12) that can be opened in After Effects CS6 (11).

  • Photoshop CS6 stopped saving file extensions

    I am running PhotoShop CS6 on Mac Yosemite 10.10.2.  Photoshop suddenly stopped saving file extensions.  I can open the files saved on my computer, but others cannot because the file extension is missing.  Under preferences > file handling > append file extension, "always" is selected.  It doesn't matter which file format PSD, JPEG, PNG, etc., the file extension is not saved.  I have the capability to view the file, but if I send it to someone else, or if I save it to dropbox and download it back to my computer, the image cannot be viewed.

    Try 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.

  • Why is my Illustrator cs6 not opening files.

    I'm having a issue with Illustrator not opening files (eps or ai) either from the server or my desktop, opening original from Indesign, double clicking a file or from the menu 'open file'. I have to end up quitting Illustrator, then open the file from one of the methods above. Same days it all works fine then other days it doesn't. Quite confusing.
    I've uninstall then reinstall Illustrator previously and it seemed to work fine for a while then it started doing it again.
    And I've tried finding the info on the forums for Illustrator. If its there please point me to the right place.

    Aaron,
    Here is a list from easy to serious (note the Cleaner Tool as part of uninstalling and reinstalling in 6), and you may have some disturbance from other applications, see the usual suspects in Item 7) in 5), and 1) - 2) may be the first ones to try, before 3) and/or 4) ):
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Photoshop CS6 Cannot Open Files in Mavericks

    I am not able to open files with Phoshop CS6 in Maverics.  All of the files and folders are "Greyed" out with a circle to the left and not selectable.
    Has anyone experienced this issue?

    What OS version?
    Have you tried disabling GPU drawing in Photoshop preferences?
    Have you updated your video card driver from the GPU maker's website?

  • Fireworks CS6 not opening files

    Hi,
    I installed the trial version of CS6 (Mountain Lion) the other day and created some files, the same files opened for me on another computer using CS5 (Mountain Lion) whilst I was waiting for the full version to get installed onto my Mac.
    For some reason now the files are either corrupt or not opening (Could not complete your request, an error has occurred or unknown file type).
    The only difference between the two installations of CS6 is that I only downloaded the trial version of individual products and now I've installed the whole master suite.
    Please help!!

    I am able to open files again after restarting Fireworks (Fireworks CS6 on OSX Mountain Lion). Pretty scary bug though, I really don't like the feeling of not being able to open any of my source files--files that have multiple pages worth of work that I would never be able to retrieve with another program.
    Where is Adobe in this discussion?? Is Fireworks going to be made more stable?
    How I feel about Fireworks right now is not great. I look really unprofessional when people ask me for something and my response is... "Sorry, my files seem to be corrupt let me just take 30 minutes to figure out what's wrong"

  • Illustrator CS6 cant open files on win 8 machine

    Sats something like "file cant be opened/file cannot be found".

    @risepureog ,
    Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums.  So that I can help you out with our issue could you please check out the following link.
    Advice for asking the "Very Best Question"
    As well when you post back can you include the file type you are trying to open.  For the most part you need software to open files.  .pdf requires adobe PDF reader.  .doc would require a word processing software like microsoft word.
    It all depends on the file you are trying to open will depend on the software needed.
    Thank you again for posting and have a great day.

  • Photoshop CS6 not opening files from Lightroom 5.6

    On my mac I updated to Lightroom 5.6. Now it will not open the file in Photoshop CS6 using the "Edit it Photoshop" option. Anyone know how to work around this? I do not want to "render in lightroom" each time. Thanks!

    There used to be a weird bug where this didn't work when there was an accented character (like ø, ä, etc.) somewhere in the path to the file, in the filename itself or in the metadata, the file simply wouldn't open in CS3. Don't know if that ever was fixed, but might be something to check.

  • InDesign CS6 - Error opening files

    I have been using InDesign CS6 with Windows 8 for over a year, and today when I opened the program and attempted to open one of the recent files I got this error message:
    "Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by another application"
    I did not do any udpates, or anything differently than I have been when saving, etc. but I cannot seem to open any of the files i had previously saved with this program.  I have tried everthing I can think of, including a reset but still no luck.  Any suggestions? 

    Usual troubleshooting might be to delete any .lck files in the document's folder (if there are any) or to reset InD prefs.
    Besides that, sometimes on-access virus scan can make a file busy for a short period of time after selecting a file.

  • Photoshop Suddenly Stopped Opening Files

    Suddenly Photoshop CC will not open any files. I was in the middle of processing photos, finished one up, saved it and tried to open a new file... and nothing. No error message. When I try to open a file, Photoshop lets me browse to the file and click on it, but then nothing happens. I've tried using Lightroom (which works just fine) to "edit in Photoshop" and Photoshop opens, but the photo never loads or even acts like it is loading. I've tried RAW files and JPEGS. Other editing software on my computer opens photos just fine. This happened BEFORE I installed the most recent Windows updates, so it's not that. I uninstalled Photoshop CC and re-installed. I've restarted my computer. I've completely shut down my computer and restarted. Nothing works and I've got 35 photos to edit by tomorrow morning. $9.99 a month sounded like an awesome deal, but my old CS4 was at least reliable. I'm on Windows 7. I do not have apps running. Nothing changed in the 10 minutes when I edited a photo and saved it and tried to open another one. There is no malware on the computer. And the only suggestion I've seen in the forums so far is to re-install the OS- which is ridiculous. I'll uninstall Photoshop and move to GIMP before I reinstall my entire OS because Photoshop suddenly quit.
    Suggestions?

    Restart your computer to make sure you have a nice clean working environment.  Open Task Manager, and try to open a JPG.  Do you see any clues under the Task manager Processes tab?  Any double instances of the same process, for instance?
    Is anything else opening with Photoshop?  Plugins, or extensions?  Do you still have Photoshop CC 14.2 installed and have you tried it?  That might get you past the current rush job.

  • Indesign cs6 wont open files

    When I attempt to open a .indd file the file will not open and it creates 1000's of temp file in the foldere the files resides. Indesign itself open however. This has only started happening.

    Operating System?
    How do you open the file? Does this happen with all files? Can you create a new file and save it? Will it reopen?
    Where are the files stored?
    Does it happen if you create a new user account and log in on that?

  • CS4 Stops Opening File at 95% and hangs

    I was working on a project and tried to open it but the progress bar goes to about 95% and then just sits there.
    I read through some posts here and verified the XML is valid with XMLWrench and tried to open the autosave files (same result).
    I even tried copying _only_ the *.prproj file over to my mac (no media files) and had the same result, with both the original file and the auto saved ones. In other words, it had the exact same behavior on both Windows Vista and OS X and when tested on OS X, the media files weren't there so it seems like corrupt media files are not the cause.
    I'm at a loss. Can anyone help?
    thanks,
    Craig

    This happens consistently as my projects get bigger, How long did you wait before bailing out? Many people report waits of several minutes or longer. Seems to get worse the more assets you have, and the more complex the timeline.

  • InCopy CS6 "Cannot Open File" from InDesign CC

    I'm trying to review copy recently posted by my designer. I'm using InCopy CS6 and she recently upgraded to InDesign CC. We never had a problem before, but now I'm getting the following error:
    I'm running Windows 8 and she's on a Mac (not sure which OS).
    Any thoughts?

    For real? I can't believe that the latest version of the standalone InCopy can't play with InDesign CC. My designer is a contractor and just spent a lot of money to upgrade to CC, and my employer didn't want to pay for all of CC, so they just got me Incopy CS6.

  • Cs6 Bridge will not open files in Photoshop cs6, get error message pasted below

    Windows cannot find C:/Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Photoshop.exe
    I installed Photoshop CS6 Upgrade (64bit and 32Bit) to my PC which ran CS5 Extended.  When I deleted CS5, Bridge
    stopped opening files, whether I double clicked on the file or did Open with:  I get the same error message.

    By uninstalling CS5 you have corrupted file associations.  THey want to open in CS5 now and it is not on machine.
    You can either unistall CS6, do a script cleaner, and reinstall.
    Or you can change an entry in the registry.  Here is instructions from a previous post.
    I installed Photoshop CS6, then found CS5 was still there. I thought, hey, I don't need CS5 anymore, so I uninstalled CS5. then I found out that Photoshop was no longer available in 'Open with' when right-clicking an image...
    So I went into the Registry, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\open\command, and changed the (Default) from "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1" to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1" (so changed CS5 to CS6) - and now I see 'Adobe Photoshop CS6' in my 'Open with' list when right-clicking an image...

  • CS6 Does not open file due to program error

    I have been using CS6 for quite sometime with no much issues at all. All the sudden, today, without any changes being made in my computer (iMAC IOS 10.9) the software stopped opening files when I went FILE/OPEN and selecting the file to open (jpg).
    CS6 opens "finder" and then quickly the finder window dissapears (so no time to make any selection,,this is not related to a type of file since...I can never get to even select one..) and the message "Could not complete your request because of a program error". The only option is to click OK and that is it....
    I now need to go and open finder  and then navigate through to the file and the right click and choose Open with CS6 (anf the file opens)....
    Any ideas about this? like I said..nothing has been done (except the lates PS update a couple of days ago ver. 13.0
    Thanks,

    I tried reseting the Photoshop presets (which takes a lot of practice but
    eventually got a "do you want to delete the Photoshop Presets" which I
    did.... no changes with the behavior when trying to Open a location from
    photoshop...
    then I read about turning off Coverflow  (but the only instructions I could
    see were for Safari 4 ....and I'm running Safari 7".... anyway, is this
    instruction supposed to be typed as one single instruction when accessing
    Terminal ?
    defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4IncludeFlowViewInBookmarksView
    -bool NO
    everywhere I look it seems as two separate commands like this... but
    I couldn't get Terminal to type in two different lines.... so I typed
    it altogether.
    defaults write com.apple.Safari
    DebugSafari4IncludeFlowViewInBookmarksView -bool NO -
    at any rate,,, the problem is still there....
    Once again, upgrading the software is NOT always a good idea.... clearly
    the Apple guys ......got some issues here....
