Extended CS6 trial Bug ends..and now CS6 does not open

Another brilliant move by adobe. First they suggest they inadvertently included a bug that required one to manually decline the extended version every time CS6 is open;now the "trial" ends and CS6 does not open. Is this what we expect from adobe? Maybe so, I guess.

There actually is a way to update Photoshop without running it.
You might visit the following pages, for example:
Edit: Hopefully these links are fixed now.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?platform=Windows&product=39

Of course, these links don't help Creative Cloud users at all. I guess they're expected to use the Application Manager.

I made an upgrade to Mavericks and my iPhoto does not open, what should I do to recover iPhoto with all my photos?

what happens? What version of iPhoto do you have? For Mavericks you must have iPhoto '11 version 9.5 - if you own any version of iPhoto '11 it is a free update - if you own a previous version then you must purchase iPhoto '11 in the App store

Photoshop / Bridge CS6 does not open the selected image thumbnails.

Hello,
When I open an image with the "Open Camera Raw" in Adobe Bridge CS6, I get the error:
"Bridge's parent apllication is not active.
Bridge requires que qualifiying the product has been launched at least once to enable this feature."
My OS is Windows Vista with all automatic updates.
Grateful for any help.

When you remove the obvious,
that which is left must therefore be the truth -- Sherlock Holmes
Short version:
When I created a new lightroom catalog, and imported a single, standalone file, It worked fine. But when I imported to the new catalog, any photos from my existing catalog, it would fail.
Turns out that I was doing something a bit out of the ordinary with the IPTC Copyright field. In order to make my copyright information look "different" when I would export a file.
One would normally put in that field something like "© 2009 someone". I discovered a few months ago that I could make this field display as a multi line entry.
ie.
if you wanted to put XY into the copyright field, but wanted it to display as:
X
Y
all you would have to do is to put a carrage return between the two characters. (hint ctl^enter). Now when you displayed the "copyright" in an output file, it will display
vertically instead of all the characters in a horizontal line.
After being frustrated by this for a couple of weeks, I simply started removing every option that I might have applied to photographs that I would import with Lightroom. One of the last ones was the "vertical" information I put in the copyright field in a Preset. (when you remove the obvious...).
Funny thing is that no program really cares about the formatting of that field, or if it has multiple lines in the data, or special characters.......It even opens up just fine in Photoshop / Gimp / PSE / etc. with no problems.
But, if you have multiple lines of data in the Copyright Field (and I suspect others as well),
AND you want to open up the file from Lightroom in Photoshop, using the standard menu item of " Edit with Photoshop CS4", for some reason Photoshop will start, but never open the designated file. I would expect some parsing something just giving up after it encounters a CR.
But.....All is well that ends well. Now I can quit obsessing, and move on to something else...
Best,
Jim

Photoshop CS6 does not open files

I am trying to get Photoshop CS6 on my PC running under Windows 8 to open files. The open dialog box comes up, but it is frozen and I end up having to CTRL ALT DEL and end the task to get out of it. This has only happened since the last update. I noticed that people had this problem back in 2013 but there was no answers given. I am unable to open any file and therefore not really able to use Photoshop.

Ok. What I'm about to suggest is Uninstall-Clean-Reinstall
Read this Help Document, follow the instructions and download the Cleaner tool.
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Uninstall
Run the CS/CC Cleaner. It will remove anything the uninstall missed. Those could be problem files or registry entries that are fouling things up.
After you clean do a fresh Reinstall.
Hopefully that fixes it.

CS6 does not open after EXTENDED trial is over

Hello everybody , I bought last september Photoshop CS6 on CD . Lately an EXTENDED trial version installed itself without my full consent ! now over one month later when I ask for CS6 Adobe Manager tell me to activate, if I try to connect it will not do it the wheel keeps turning (anyway I do not want EXTENDED) and I cannot even open CS6 ! (My serial number is already registered on my Adobe account) . What should I do ? - I am on Macbook) ? Thanks GB

Thanks everybody for all the information. Finally, after few hours of work :-) I solved my problem by uninstalling everything regarding CS6 from the macbook, cleaning it with Onyx, reinstalling CS6 from the original DVD. Then I could open CS6 which said approximatively "EXTENDED version is out, you are back to CS6 standard" BUT it said also " you have a 7 days trial, you have to activate CS6 during these 7 days" !!! In fact, right from the start I have never been able to connect to my account with the Adobe Application Manager, although I can do it directly from the Adobe site ... The Adobe chat support told me that this problem is out of their expertise !!! therefore I had to go thru the burden of registering according to the off-line procedure.
I am not really willing to update, fearing that Adobe will introduce again their EXTENDED version trial :-(

Photoshop CS6 does not open or create files

I am using Adobe Cloud. And have downloaded Photoshop CS6. Using it locally.
It was working fine. For weeks. The application still loads without error. But if I open a file nothing happens. No error message. But no file appears. And if I try to create a new file the same thing. No error message. But no new canvas to work with. In both cases nothing appears in the layers panel.
The Help menu gives me the option of deactivating. So I am assuming it is not an activation issue.
Fireworks works fine. Illustrator works fine. Only Photoshop has this problem.
I am running Windows 8. 64bit. 12gb. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 2gb. Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0 (13.0 20120315.r.428 2012/03/15:21:00:00) x64. No optional 3rd party plugins.

Update 03/2/2013
I had enough I uninstalled Creative Cloud and secure wiped the Intel 520 SSD and the wiped the RevoDrive 3 X2. Installed windows 8 clean install and re-downloaded and installed all the Creative Cloud Apps.
1. After the install was completed clicking on Photoshop CS6* causes nothing to happen. No tasks open, nothing in task manager showing photoshop opening. It's like the request just goes away.
2. Figured maybe I need the updates, opened bridge clicked on help - updates.
3. All products had updates and updated them all.
4. All updates successful except for Photoshop and DynamicLinkmanager.
Photoshop Update Failed
Adobe Photoshop 13.0.1.1
Installation failed. Error Code: U44M2P7
So then I search the forums and find the option to manually download the CS6 update from Adobe.com. I did that and still nothing.
So in Windows 7 I could open Photoshop once per reboot and work. Now in Windows 8 I can't even get it to open.
There has to be an incompatibility with either:
1. Nvidia GTX680 4GB cards
2. Nvidia WHQL Latest Drivers
I draw that conclusion because PS CS6 has worked just fine until Nvidia Updates were installed. I know in 3D Mark III the card only reports as a 2GB and they claim it's purely cosmetic reporting. It also works fine on my Quadro 5000 card in another box.
Unable to open Photoshop CS6 in Windows 8 Pro
Unable to open using program Compatibility Troubleshooter Mode: Windows 7
Unable to open images in Adobe Camera Raw or Photoshop from within Bridge. No Errors it's like the request simply disappeared.

Hang logs don't mean a thing to me, unfortunately. We normally ask users to convert hangs to crashes using activity monitor, then post the crash log (see Adobe Forums: InDesign CS5.5 Not Responding), but at this point it's entirely moot since trashing the prefs solved your problem.

Designer Window does not open: User already logged In: Reset Users,Continue

Hi,
When I try to login to Business Objects XI 3.2 data services Desginer-> It opens the 'SAP BusinessObjects Data Services Repository Login' Window. I eneter the ODBC data source, Username and Password correctly.
It gives a message: The following users are already logged on: Do you want to 'Reset users', 'Continue', Exit.
When I click on either 'Reset Users' or 'Continue'.... it opens the splash window, yellow color, 'SAP Business Objects Data Services XI' and hangs there....
I tried re-installing 3.2, but that did not help...
Also the user which it mentions in the error message, The following users are already logged on: , is the user which I use to log in to my system.
Could anyone pls suggest, how do I resolve this, so that it opens the 'Designer window'.

Hello LaRaju
Is better to late than never...
when you start BO you have got "cannot initialize application BODI 1270039" error message.
I got that message on Business Objects XI 3.2 installation.
Root cause of problem - BO uninstaller dont delete keys from Windows registry.
you should to do next:
1) uninstall BO when uninstaller asked you for reload your PC ask - NO (later)
2) load registry editor
3) find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects
4) delete that branch
5) go to the BO installation directory -delete it with all content
6) reload your PC
7) repeat installation process
after that all will be work fine

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,
Alex Viademonte

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....

Dreamweaver CS6 does not open on iMac OSX 10.7.5 after running update.

Updated Creative Suite CS5 to CS6 the other day. Installed on two computers (27" iMac i7 Oct 2009, and 2008 MacBook Pro 15"), everything worked fine. Ran the updates that Adobe Application Manager said were available. Worked fine on my laptop, but kept getting errors on my iMac. I had to go into terminal and give the installer sudo permissions to get it to run on the iMac, but it finally went. After updating, Dreamweaver no longer opens on my iMac (still works fine on my old MacBook Pro). It only bounces once in the doc - no splash screen, no opportunity to report a crash. I deleted preferences and cache to no avail. I then uninstalled Dreamweaver (using the installer, with remove preferences checked) and reinstalled it without running the update - it still won't open.

Well, I always seem to come up with questions that stump the crowd and have to figure these things out for myself in the end, which I did.
I logged in as root user (any alternative administrator account would work), and succesfully opened dreamweaver. I then copied all the preferences and support files to the main hard drive, where I retrieved them when I logged back into my user account. I then transferred those files to their respective places in the Library and Dreamweaver is now working again.

IDML file saved in CS6 does not open in CS5

Hi there,
Trying to figure out this problem. A file created in InDesign CS6 we saved it as a idml file to be opened from cs5. When cs5 tries to open it it complains about plugins are missing.
Has anybody run into this problem?
