How do I stop photoshop from loading photos

Photoshop has been loading my photos (a 12,000 photo file) for over 18 hours now and I cannot stop it. I think that there is a problem and I would like to just stop it and start over. How do I do this?

move cursor to APPLE logo at top left of menu bar. press and drag down to FORCE QUIT, and then let up. (click on apple logo, drag to force quit....)
A panel will appear, hightlight photoshop to force quit it.

Mac OS X: Double-Clicking a File Opens the Wrong Application - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2291
-= Changing the application used to open all files of a certain kind (written with reference to OSX 10.4 but may not have changed) =-
1) In a Finder window highlight a file of the kind you want to change the application to open that kind of file.
2) While that file is highlighted, select File > Get Info or press command (apple or propeller icon) + i to get a file information window.
3) In the lower part of the info window there is an "open with" menu with a list of applications.
4) If your application is already in the box then it is the default application for opening that kind of file and you don't need to do anything more. Close the get info window.
5) If the application showing in the menu is not the one with which you wish to open the file then select a new application. If your application does not appear there then select the "other..." and track down the application (usually in the Applications folder at the main level of the computer).
6) If you wish to change all files of this type to open with this application in future, make sure the "change all" button is selected.
7) Close the get info window.

TA22992 Trying to sync new photos from iphoto withou having the old photo synced on ipad2 but when I select sync from iphoto the old photos are already included. How do I stop itunes from preselecting photos? Already try "selected albums, events, etc" no

Trying to sync new photos from iphoto without having the old photo synced on ipad2 but when I select sync from iphoto the old photos are already included. How do I stop itunes from preselecting photos? Already tried selecting "selected albums, events, and faces, and automatically include" then I enter "no Events" with no success the photos still are being synced along with the new photos. I want to be able to add new photo and remove old photos. Please help this has taken a lot of my time trying to figure it out.

If I knew the answer I would have given it - but since it is not an iPhoto question I suggested
You might try the iPad forum - or the iTunes forum - this really is not an iPhoto question

How can I stop Photoshop from colour correcting images?

I'm trying to put all our art assets into a computer game engine.. but everything is more muted then in the final version. I spent a long time getting the GFX looking good but as soon as I save them they are blow out super saturated and over exposed.
How can I get the saved version to look like the version in photoshop?
Here is an example
This a screenshot of windows. The image on the right is photoshop, and the image on the left is the same image saved as a PNG.... see how they look compleatly diffrent? Why is this and how can I stop it?

I typed that in a hurry last night, so not to give the wrong impression I should add that I know PECourtejoie knows better. He probably read it in a hurry too.
Reading the article again shows that Marc Edwards has some things right, but fundamentally misunderstands the basic concepts behind them. What he seems to not get is that the RGB values on-screen are in the monitor color space, they are not in the original document color space. It has nothing to do with the operating system.
This has a practical implication: Photoshop will not match display in a non-color managed environment. This is because Photoshop has converted from document to monitor profile. The RGB values sent to the display are simply not the same.
There is a very simple solution - suspend the color management chain temporarily by using the same profile for both document and monitor. This can be done permanently, but then of course you're flying blind. Much better to proof to Monitor RGB just for the match. This will show everything as if no color management existed.
People should just use ctrl/cmd+Y more.
And while I'm at it: Discussions regarding color management often tend to spiral downwards - despite the best efforts from the people who know how how it works. Red herrings and confused statements always come in from the flanks, to the point where we all lose track completely. But color management isn't all that difficult, and I don't know why this myth that it's totally impenetrable has become so widespread.
In this case, the key probably lies in the very first reply by c. pfaffenbichler.

How can I stop Firefox from loading automatically when I startup my computer?

A while ago I setup Windows so Outlook and Firefox opened automatically when I log on. Now I want to stop FF from opening automatically. I have gone into the Startup folder and removed the shortcut to FF several times but it keeps coming back. I changed the name of Mozilla Firefox in the Windows Programs Directory to xxMozilla Firefox and that didn't keep it from loading. If necessary, I will remove FF from my computer altogether but I would rather not do that.

Aaarg! I tried Matt's suggestion of using msconfig, restarted my computer, and it seemed to solve the problem. Today when I turned on the computer it hung up before loading Windows. I had to use the F12 button to get it to load. I did and it did and Firefox did not load.
Now, this evening, I turned on the computer, the startup procedure was normal, and there's Firefox fired up and ready to go!

How do i stop quicktime from loading pdf files

Why is Quick time loading pdf file and how do I stop it .

I have the same issue with Safari opening Web PDF links in Quicktime. When I click on a PDF URL the Quicktime logo will display in Safari, then the first page of the PDF will come up, and only the first page will be available, there is no way to scroll to subsequent pages. I have not found any settings in Safari, Quicktime, or Adobe Reader to turn that off. How can I get Quicktime to not be the default imbedded reader for PDF in Safari.

How do i stop photoshop from opening all the recovered photos

i realize that i probably caused this problem but i need to fix it.... dozens and dozens of photos open and it takes forever. closing them doesn't work, they just come back the next time i open cs6.

Beyond manually finding the files for removal, consider this:
Photoshop is supposed to remove those backup files itself after you've successfully closed them.
That it's not doing so implies possibly a permissions problem, where deletions of files from within your scratch PSAutoRecover area by you are not allowed. You'll want to look at the permissions of those folders/files and change them so that you do have access. I'm sorry to say I do not know the specific commands, as I am not a Mac user.

How do I stop Photoshop from launching when I turn on my MacBook Pro?

I subscribe to Adobe CC. Every time I turn on my MacBook Pro, Photoshop CC launches. I want this to stop. When I right click on the Photoshop app > Options > Open at Login is NOT checked. And in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items > Photoshop is not there. What can I do? I am sure it is a simple fix. Thanks!

As I mentioned when I right click on the Photoshop app in the dock > Options > Open at Login is NOT checked. And in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items > Photoshop is not there in the list. I do not have any utilities installed that automatically launch applications and I do not mess with scripts or even know how to.
I tried calling Adobe's poor outsourced customer service and was told there was a 2-5 minute wait, but after waiting 22 minutes, I had to hang up.

How do I stop Photoshop from flipping my image when I print?

Whenever I print a photo on Photoshop, it always prints the image as a mirror, or a "horizontal flip" in the position on the page that I'm placing it. This proves to be quite frustrating. How can I fix this?

That is not normal check all the setting in your Photoshop print dialog and printer settings. I see an option my printer has that could be used to do what you're getting,
