Help. Photoshop CS5 files saving in another format?

Ok,
So I'm using photoshop in CS5 to animate, but I'm coming up with a saving problem. I am saving the file as a PSD, but when I go to open the file the next day to keep working, its saying that the file is not compatible with my version of photoshop. I only have CS5 and I am not changing the file type when I'm saving, I always save as a PSD. Can someone shed some light on why this is happening? Its incredibly frustrating as I keep losing my work. I've lost about 10 seconds of animation due to this, so far, and if anyone actually animates traditionally, you will realise just how much work this is. Please, please help, its really getting me down.

Have you tried saving as another layer-capable format, tif or psb?
Is there anything notable about the files – extraordinary number of layers, size or whatever?
Other than that have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, font validation, etc.)?

PHOTOSHOP CS5 file saving name question (.png .jpg)

Hi,
If I open a new file and go to save it the extension names show up (.jpg or .png). However, if I open an illustrator file in Photoshop and try to save it, the extension names are not there (it's saving them as the proper format, but I want the files to have the .jpg or .png in the name without me typing them in myself).
Anyone know why this is or how I can fix it?
(I tried flattening the image first. I made sure the file is in 8bit mode. I made sure the image is a RGB file too. But still, the extension part of the name (.jpg) is not showing up). Sometimes, it works for certain .ai files, but others it doesn't. Yet, they appear to be the exact same file type. I tried restarting Photoshop and restarting the computer. Still, for certain files it doesn't work.
Please see attached picture.

No, the fly window isn't hiding the file names.
For some reason, it seems to be only occurring to a set of files that I have in a certain folder. I believe I saved all these illustrator files the same way as other files (that are working properly - meaning the file extensions names are coming up for them).
Not sure why its just hiding the extension name on these certain files....?

Photoshop CS4 file saving problem...

Photoshop CS4 file saving problem: When no file name is specified, Photoshop saves file to the root directory of the drive instead of the current folder. It auto names the image with the name of the folder that was active. Can this be fixed?
BTW: I was using "save for web"--not sure if it that matters.

Bug reports should go in the main forum.
And yes, SFW has it's own file code so that is a very important detail.

Strange error message when saving Photoshop CS5 files

Once in awhile, and only with some files, I get the following pop-up message when I save an image that I've been editing in Photoshop CS5:
"The disk copy of <filename> was changed since you last opened or saved it. Do you want to save it anyway?"
Unless I'm missing something, this is the most idiotic message I've ever seen. OF COURSE I want to save it. And why? Because the file has changed.
Can anyone tell me why this message pops up and whether I need to do anything about it?
Thanks!

The details shouldn't really matter. But OK: I'm running Photoshop CS5 on a 2010 iMac 3.06GHz i3 with 8GB of RAM and OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 installed. I save my files the old-fashioned way: Command-S.
I've been using Photoshop since version 1.0 and have never seen this message before. An explanation would be appreciated.

Please help: Photoshop CS5 - Yosemite locked permissions?

Please I hope someone can help!
I just updated my older iMac with Yosemite, and reinstalled Adobe CS 5. What a mess. Neither Illustrator or InDesign will launch. Photoshop will work, but has problems. (Thank God I've not touched my newer, main studio working iMac's OS, where CS5 still runs fine.)
In trying to quit Photoshop (which won't respond to quitting and must be force-quit), I am getting the error message, "Could not save Preferences because the file is locked or you do not have necessary access privileges. Use the 'Get Info' command in the Finder to unlock the file or change permissions on the file of enclosing folders."
I searched around and found what was sure to be a promising fix posted some time ago (see below, "Here's the Fix"), but the problem is, when I hold down Option > Go ... Library to navigate to the "Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings", the damned folder is actually EMPTY! There is no file to click on in order to get info on it! So I cannot even tamper with permissions. Ugh. It's bad enough the neither Illustrator nor InDesign will launch. What a sorry mess. I will not TOUCH my MacBook Pro laptop or main iMac. I will leave well enough alone. So glad I only messed with this one computer I rarely do anything on anymore. It could be that this is an old early 2009 iMac, sure, but I don't trust the new OS.
Anyone encounter similar, and have any workaround? Thank you in advance!
HERE'S THE FIX:
Navigate to /Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings
Select that file File>Get Info
At the very bottom under permissions, hit the + icon.
Add your user name from the list that pops up.
Highlight the user just added.
Click the gear icon to the right of the +/-
Choose make owner.
Click the gear icon again and choose apply to folder contents.
Open Photoshop.
That should do the trick!

Photoshop CS5. Saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop

I am hoping someone has experienced this problem. I am working at a clients
office which has a large Konica Printer. When I first started using Photoshop at this office I
could print directly from PS to thier printers. Then a printer driver change or something I cannot pinpoint changed and I began getting the Error Message: The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop, or the saved printer is no longer available. You will need to check your printer settings before printing. I click OK and the second Error Message appears: There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a priner and reopened any documents. The radio button has the single response word "Cancel". After clicking that button the printing is grayed out and until I go into Color Settings and change the setting drop down box to something else, close PS and reopen the, or any file and the same thing occurs. Ihad the IT department down here and after an hour he clicked on settings and tinkered around until all of a sudden the printing was enabled. It worked until the printer driver was updated. Once again the IT guy was down here and didn't remember what he did, tinkered around and after changing the color settings to: Monitor Color, it printed. Here we go again, printer settings were randomly changed so we reinstalled the printer driver and again PS is not printing.
Is there anyone who has experienced this issue who can help me make sense of this insanity. Is there a sequence of setting changes, opening of the program and file that is allowing the color management to stop interferring with my printing other than Gremlins in this machine? I have not found anything Googling on this issue. Please help me . . . Annette

I don't think I have an answer for you about exactly what went wrong, but one thing that can help with understanding the messages (and maybe can help you and your IT people figure it out) is this:
Photoshop saves the information about the last printer the document was printed to as metadata in the document file. So if you make a print then save the PSD, the printer info is in the PSD.
If recently you opened an image that had previously been printed at another place (and which didn't have an exact match to the printer available in your current location), then you can start to imagine these error messages making a bit more sense. Things like "The saved printer information" begin to have meaning.
Hope this helps.

Photoshop CS5 'file info' pemissions problem

I recently had to replace the had drive and reinstall Photoshop CS5. I used to be able to access the file info box and add metadata or read the camera settings. Now the file info box loads but the fields are not available. if I log out and use the guest account on my Mac it works fine so Adobe support told me it is a permissions issue that prevents the box from loading. I have no idea where to correct this.
I am running Photoshop at 32 bit so my scanner will work, but I tried it at both 32 & 64, but the file info box doesn't load regardless of this setting. I also tried unistalling & reinstalling Photoshop. I have obviously messed up a user permissions setting somewhere but I don't know where to fix it.
Here is a screen capture showing the two views. The top is logged into my usual account and bottom is on the guest account.Thanks for any suggestions!

Issue during install of Photoshop CS5 - files do not completely extract.

"A problem occurred while extracting some files. Check available space on your computer and the write privileges on the destination folder" - trying to install Photoshop CS5 after hard drive crashed. New install of Windows 7 64bit. Downloaded install files and get this message part way through the extraction.

are you installing on a partition less than 1tb in size? if not, partition your hd so you can install on a less than 1tb sized partition.

Photoshop CS5 file format.

Im working on a big art project and have had to make a few modifications on a background picture I've been working on. I named the file its original name but added "v1.2" on the end of it. The problem is that it reads .2 and now it says its in the file format of 2 and photoshop cant open that file. Anyone have any ideas? or am I screwed and need to start all over? please I need some help project due soon.

Do you mean that you changed the file extension? If so just add .psd (assuming that's how you saved it) to the file name and all will be fine.
I don't know how Apple does things, but if you are on a Windows system Explore might be set to hide file extensions. That is the default. Open the containing folder, and click on Organize (top left) Then on Folders and Search options and finally on the View tab. Untick 'Hide extensions for known file types' and you'll be able to see what's happening with your file.
I'm sorry if you knew most of that, but if so, just ignore the egg sucking lesson.

Photoshop CS6 file saved thumbnail makes file blank??

Hello,
I've recenlty seen this problem, the file i process in adobe photoshop CS6 comes blank and the previous thumbnail also disappear. I've checked the settings in finder and adobe photoshop cs6 but i didn't change anything there. Can any one help??
i need to submit wedding pictures but blank thumbnail makes me lost track of pictures. I'm attaching a picture below, the first row is what i've processed with adobe photoshop cs6 and the thumbnail disappeared.

I have to make a lot of color corrections because this is film taken from the early 40s to the early 50s. I tried doing it in Avid Studio, Pinnicle studeo and Corel Draws Video Studeo which is what Avid Studio became. None of them alow for the amount of correction allowed in Photoshop. I already owned Photoshop 5 so I upgraded to 6 to take advantage of its advances in video. The plan was to break the converted files up in smaller peices so that Photoshop could handle it and use Premier Pro perhaps to do other post production editing. The origional avi files are a movie about 1 hr and 15 min long and another one about 45 min long. The CODEX is MJPG in avi.

Photoshop CS6 files saved to User/Library/Caches/Temporary Items

Many of the users on my school network cannot save their Photoshop files to a specified folder. Instead the files are automatically saved to User/Library/Caches/Temporary Items folder.
I've changed the File Handling Preferences with no results in changing this issue. Since a couple users did not experience this problem, I'm wondering if it might be a permissions problem.

With the new versions, you have to be more precise with Folder redirection :
com.apple.MCXRedirector

MPEG movie files converting to another format for iDVD

Hey,
Friend of mine recorded video of a concert. The files from her memory stick are in MPEG movie format.
I burned them from the memory stick to a disc. Now I'm trying to insert one of these MPEG movie files to a current iDVD dvd project. BUT for some reason or another it is not letting me.
Could someone please let me know how to take a MPEG movie file and insert it into a iDVD project.

Ive not actually tried protected iTunes Store files with this solution so not sure if it works (if not, yes, you would need to burn them to Audio CD and re-impot them unprotected.)
AACs are compatible with the PSP as-is however, it's just the PSP does not like the .m4a file extension. Simply renaming the extension to .mp4 will address this.
On a PC, you can create a batch file on your PSP memory stick with the following command:
rename *.m4a *.mp4
Run this batch file after copying your iTunes AACs to the memory stick and they will work fine.
I'm sure the same can be achieved on a Mac with AppleScript or Automater, I don't have experience with those to achieve the same results though - perhaps someone could create a rename multiple files example?
