How do I completely restore Photoshop CS settings?

I need to restore ALL the original Photoshop CS settings/preference including the file-saving preferences. How???

Have you done the usual ctrl-alt-shift during startup to erase prefs? If
so, which preferences were not reset?

Yes. Just make sure to deactivate the license on both systems using Apple menu --> Deactivate while one of the suite programs is running.

Boot from the Reinstall Drive (USB thumb drive) that came with your MBA.
(Restart and when you hear the startup sound, hold down the C key until the gray pinwheel appears)
When the OS X window appears, select your language.
On the next screen, select Utilities from the Menu Bar.
To restore to an earlier point in time from a Time Machine backup, select Restore System from Backup
To make your machine look like it did when new, select Disk Utility, then select the system drive and click the Erase button.
This will reformat the drive and you can then reinstall the OS from the main menu.

Best way would be to just grab the pen tool and recreate the illustration using your photo as a guide, or if you trust your precision just use the brush tool and draw on top using sampled colos. Restoration using pixel-based methods will be time consuming, there's too much texture and too many cracks.

How do I completely uninstall Photoshop CS ?

I have Photoshop CS (2003). I've been using it on a regular basis without any problems. Two nights ago I was using it and not having any problems, and printed out a few pictures. I left it open while it printed a huge file and in the morning I noticed Photoshop wasn't responding. So I had to use the task manager to close out the file. Then I tried restarting it and it froze up again. So I did a cold boot of my system. Same results. So I tried uninstalling via the control panel. I chose the option to keep the activation info but then on reinstall I had the same freezing up. So I tried uninstalling via control panel that would also remove activation info. Then I tried reinstalling. What I get now is "An error has been detected and the product cannot continue. Please reinstall the application." Well, I've tried. And I don't have any luck. And I also tried going in and deleting the program file, but that didn't help. And instructions on how to remove registry info and go to 'documents and settings' do me no good since my operating system is so sophisticated (I think it is Windows 7, but I can't even figure out how to find that out - give me Windows XP back!) that I can't find those anymore (I'm an ex-assembly language programmer so it's not that I don't know what computer code does - it's just gotten too sophisticated and it left me in the dust). When I start Photoshop, the 'credits' window opens along with the photoshop window and then the credits window disappears and after a very long time, this error message pops up. Meanwhile if I click my cursor inside the Photoshop window the message at the top banner next to the name Adobe Photoshop says 'not responding'. My two standard side windows come up that show the basic editing tools and the layers, but I can't access any of that. Oh, and the Adobe help desk attendant informed me that they don't offer any support on this anymore. Any suggestions how I can get this working again?

Read this and this. It doesn't cover any specifics of CS2 (was already out of fashion when I wrote this stuff), but you should be able to take hints and clues to know what you must do (especialyl dealing with caps-db and licensing issues).

How can i completely restore safari?

I've made the mistake of putting an extention i dont want in and now it is absolutely anoyying, it reverts all my searches to bing and takes hours for access to sights online. and it also is not accessable from the menue

You installed the "Genieo" search-hijacking rootkit. The product is a fraud, and the developer knowingly distributes an uninstaller that doesn't work. I suggest the tedious procedure below to disable Genieo. This procedure may leave a few small files behind, but it will deactivate any version of the rootkit that I know of.
Back up all data. You must know how to restore from a backup even if the system becomes unbootable. If you don't know how to do that, or if you don't have any backups, stop here and ask for guidance.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/etc/launchd.conf
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.
If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder may open with a file selected, or the file may not exist, in which case you'll get a message that it can't be found. If it does exist, it's a configuration file created or replaced by the Genieo installer. Any software installer that does this should be considered ipso facto malware. Move the file to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password. Then restart, empty the Trash, and continue as below.
IMPORTANT: If the launchd.conf file exists, you must move it to the Trash and restart before continuing. Otherwise the system may become unbootable. In that case, restore from your backup and start over. That's how badly Genieo has sabotaged your system. If you're not sure you can complete this step, stop here and ask for guidance.
Some installations of Genieo don't include the launchd.conf file, perhaps because it has already been removed. The absence of that file doesn't mean that Genieo is not installed.
Step 2
Quit the Genieo application, if it's running. Force quit if necessary.
Move each of these items to the Trash in the same way as above:
/Applications/Genieo.app
/Applications/Uninstall Genieo.app
/Library/Frameworks/GenieoExtra.framework
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.engine.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client.plist
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client
/usr/lib/libgenkit.dylib/usr/lib/libgenkitsa.dylib
/usr/lib/libimckit.dylib
/usr/lib/libimckitsa.dylib
There's no need to restart after each one. Again, some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
Restart and empty the Trash. Don't try to empty the Trash until you have restarted.
Step 3
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including ones called "Genieo" or "Omnibar," and any that have the word "Spigot" or "InstallMac" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Your web browser(s) should now be working, and you should be able to reset the home page and search engine. If not, stop here and post your results.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install this undesirable software. Chances are you got it from one of the Internet's open sewers such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. Typically the ad is a large green button labeled "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to mislead people who want to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Genieo developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. It must be said that this failure of oversight is inexcusable and has seriously compromised the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You cannot rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
Finally, be forewarned that when Genieo is mentioned on this site, the developer sometimes shows up under the name "Genieo support." If that happens, don't believe anything he says, but feel free to tell him what you think of his scam.

How Can I COMPLETELY Restore My Macbook/Recover My Lost Bootcamp?

Hey guys,
I'm new to the forums but have been snooping around reading topics on my issue for a while. I haven't found any solutions so I decided to actually post.
I have a late 2008 unibody Macbook (250 GB, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce 9400m, etc.) that I bootcamped with Windows 7 64 bit about six months ago. I did this so I could use some coding environments and other applications for school that were only available on Windows as well as some gaming. Everything worked great. I had allocated 130 of my 250 GB hard drive to the Windows side to allow for more space for games and such. It was all great and I could easily switch between the two using the keyboard startup disk shortcut.
...Until I upgraded my OS X side to Mavericks...
I had switched back over to the OS X side to upgrade to Mavericks. I did it, it worked smoothly, whatever whatever. After upgrading I wanted to switch back to Windows, and the Windows partition was unavailable. I couldn't boot into it through the Startup Disk in System Preferences or using the keyboard shortcut. It simply disappeared. I freaked out.
After checking my Disk Utility, my Windows partition had changed it's name to something like "disk0s4" or something like that. It was unaccesable through any method on the OS X side, but the 130 GB of space was still being taken up by something (Bootcamp I presume). I couldn't get to it. It's honestly not that big of a stress, as all my school documents and stuff is stored on Dropbox in the cloud, but it still really bothers me. Of my 250 GB hard drive I can only use 120 GB of it. I don't care about the Windows side anymore. I just want to restore the 130 GB of space to the OS X side and start over.
I read online somewhere about someone with a similar problem after upgrading to Mavericks, and their solution was to COMPLETELY wipe the HDD and start over loading Mac OS X from a disk. Honestly if this is the only solution, I'll do it. I can always re-bootcamp and re-download software.
Since all my important documents and stuff are stored on the cloud, there's nothing too important on my hard drive right now (Mac side or Windows).
Here are some screenshots of what my Disk Utility looks like:
Any solutions or help to completely reset my computer or recover that 130 GB back to the OS X side would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks, guys!

How to reset or restore to factory settings A205-S4617 satelite

I have a A205-S4617 Satelite that I bought just over a year ago from Circuit City and I am having alot of problems with it . I think it would be easier and faster just to return it back to the way it was when I first bought it . I want it to be the way it was when it was new . It also seems not to be able to read a DVD oand it will not burn anything to a DVD . But i can use a CD in it just fine . I seems like either its not able to see a DVD and is not configured correctly or its broken . I have never tried to use the DVD until now so either way it was like this when it was new . I have the 2 Recovery and Applications /Drivers Satelite A200/A205 Home Premium disks and have tried to use the the way it says to ( hold down the C key when it boots up ) when i turn it on but this doesnt do anything . It deoesnt seem to see the DVD . And when I put a DVD in the drive it always says please insert a dick into the drive , it doesnt see the DVD . So how do I restore my laptop to the way it was when it was new . Randall

The DVD 'side' of the CD/DVD drive has probably failed, since you cannot boot from the recovery DVD nor read any DVD at all.
Since the recovery DVD must be run from the internal drive, your only option is to have the drive replaced.

Ipod 5 disabled how to fix without restoring to factory settings

My ipod touch 5 is disabled and says connect to itunes. The problem is that itunes will restore the ipod and everything i have will be gone forever. I DONT have a backup. Is there a way for me to fix this without resetting it. Thanks in advance

Maybe a data recovery company can help. It is not easy since the Disabled/screen-lock passcode is a good security feature.

How can I completely Restore my Macbook Pro W/Retina Display?

I want to restore my Macbook Pro to its factory settings because I feel like its been going too slow, BUT I want to keep the pictures and some Documents. Is there any way I can do that? Restore my mac but make sure the pictures and documents i need dont get deleted?

Either move the stuff you want to keep to an external drive or do a full backup first. If you go the full backup route you can restore just documents (which would include pictures) via Migration Assistant.

How can I completely restore my mac when I haven't made a backup and my hard drive can't be repaired with Disk Utility?

If I use FireWire target disk mode to copy the entire hard drive to another external drive can I then erase the damaged hard drive, reinstall Lion with it's handy recovery function and copy everything back as it was?
I have an iMac (using Time Machine) which contains much of what is on the damaged MacBook Pro but the laptop has music and photos that only exist there... So can I restore the laptop from the iMac's Time Machine backups?
Just wanted some advice before I take the plunge...
Thanks,
Joe

Maybe. But you'd be better off to make a "bootable clone," via CarbonCopyCloner, SuperDuper, or the Restore tab of Disk Utility. Then you can start up from the clone (hold the Option key while starting and select it from the display you'll get after a few moments), and make sure everything's there (at least as well as on your internal HD).
I'd then strongly recommend also making a second backup, on a separate HD, "just in case" something goes wrong with the first one before you get this fixed. That doesn't happen often, but it does happen.
But . . . are you sure you have to erase the HD? If it's directory damage, you may be able to fix it. See #6 in Using Disk Utility, start with the yellow box there.
I have an iMac (using Time Machine) which contains much of what is on the damaged MacBook Pro but the laptop has music and photos that only exist there... So can I restore the laptop from the iMac's Time Machine backups?
Yes, you can do that, by erasing the internal HD, installing OSX, then using Setup Assistant when it first starts up, to set it up just like the iMac. See Using Setup Assistant on Lion.
But try to fix the problem first; if that doesn't work, try the "clone" method. If it works, you won't lose the stuff on the MBP.
I guess I don't need to remind you, once this is sorted out, to make regular backups of the MBP, do I?
