When i click to open my photoshop it doesnt load for my macbook. The little icon will bounce once or twice but it never pulls it up or anything like that. Any suggestions that might be able to help me out?

Have a look at this Adobe article -

From what I understand, Apple and Adobe are actively working out a fix

Where do I find Photoshop CS3 to down load?

I lost my hard drive and need to reload Phoeoshop CS3

Hi Bob,
It is simple to locate the download link as well as the serial numbers if you have purchased a Download Order.
You need to first confirm whether you have purchased a Retail version or a Volume Licensing order.
* If it is a Retail version Download Order, follow the below steps:
Login to adobe.com using your Adobe ID which is used to place the Order and navigate to "My Adobe" > "My Orders". You will be able to locate the Order date and once you click on it you will be able to locate both the serial number and the download link. You can go ahead and download from there.
* If it is a Volume Licensing Download Order, follow the below steps:
Login to licensing.adobe.com using your Login ID which is used to place the Order and navigate to "Licences" > "Downloads", select the Deploy-to ID or End User ID which is used and click on search. You must see the downloads now. In order to locate the serial number, select "Licenses" > "Retrieve Serial numbers" and select the Deploy-to ID or End User ID which is used and click on search.
If you have purchased a Box version, then you need to purchase the Upgrade to CS6.

Photoshop CS3 help needed

My Photoshop CS3 extended when loaded on my laptop causes all of my desk top icons to turn to photoshop, the only program that will open is photoshop. This program until recently worked great. Anyone with answers would be a big help. Thanks Jess

If I am understanding what you are describing correctly, that sounds like a virus.
Also, it sounds like Photoshop is still working great, but it is the only program that is working great.
Are the icons on your desktop shortcuts? Or are they files? If they are files, it sounds like they have had their file association set to Photoshop. Which means when you double-click them, the OS will use Photoshop to open them. This is something that is set within the OS, not within Photoshop.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 collapse each time it load a big file

I was loading a big file of photos from iMac iPhoto to Adobe Photoshop CS3 and it keep collapsing, yet each time I reopen photoshop it load the photos again and collapse again. is there a way to stop this cycle?

I don't think that too many users here actually use iPhoto (even the Mac users)
However, Google is your friend. A quick search came up with some other non-Adobe forum entries:
.... but the golden rule of iPhoto is NEVER EVER MESS WITH THE IPHOTO LIBRARY FROM OUTSIDE IPHOTO.In other words, anything you might want to do with the pictures in iPhoto can be done from *within the program,* and that is the only safe way to work with it. Don't go messing around inside the "package" that is the iPhoto Library unless you are REALLY keen to lose data, because that is exactly what will happen.
.....everything you want to do to a photo in iPhoto can be handled from *within the program.* This INCLUDES using a third-party editor, and saves a lot of time and disk space if you do this way:
1. In iPhoto's preferences, specify a third-party editor (let's say Photoshop) to be used for editing photos.
2. Now, when you right-click (or control-click) a photo in iPhoto, you have two options: Edit in Full Screen (ie iPhoto's own editor) or Edit with External Editor. Choose the latter.
3. Photoshop will open, then the photo you selected will automatically open in PS. Do your editing, and when you save (not save as), PS "hands" the modified photo back to iPhoto, which treats it exactly the same as if you'd done that stuff in iPhoto's own editor and updates the thumbnail to reflect your changes. Best of all, your unmodified original remains untouched so you can always go back to it if necessary.

I'm trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS3 on a new ASUS ASM11BB001O computer equipped with 64-bit Windows 7. I use a "bundle" approach, first loading Photoshop 6, then upgrading with CS upgrade and then CS3 upgrade. The installation goes smoothly until I add PS CS, and then it balks at the "accept" Adobe conditions screen. I have two other (Gateway) computers with Windows 7, 64-bit, on both of which the PS-6, CS-CS3 pathway worked fine. Any thoughts on how to get this working? Thanks

If your goal is to install and activate CS5 there is no need to install anything preceding it. You will only need to have the serial number from the preceding version that you upgrade from (CS3 I guess).

"Problem with Trial - problem loading trial period for Adobe Photoshop CS3"

Hello,
I installed Photoshop CS3 Trial and whenever I run it and choose to begin my trial period I get the following error message:
"Problem with Trial - problem loading trial period for Adobe Photoshop CS3".
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and even ran the Adobe CS3Clean Script but nothing seems to help.
I should note I never installed any earlier version of Photoshop on my system (I use a fresh copy of Windows XP with only a few programs installed).
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks,
David

Photoshop CS3 Extended error on load

Photoshop CS3 Extended
Windows 7 with all updates current
Error message on load 'could not initialize Photoshop because of a program error'
I'm running:
intel core i5
16 GB RAM
148 GB free on drive C
698 GB free on Drive D
465 GB free on drive E
465 GB free on drive F
2 DVD-R drives
All updates to Photoshop were installed last time I ran it with no problems.
No new hardware has been installed since.
Installed Classic Shell since last use, so I uninstalled it but the error persists.
Installed Diet Tracker but they don't interfere with each on on the system at home so I know there's no problem there.
Nothing else installed except Windows updates.
I tried restoring back to the last time I used it . . . still got the error, so undid the restore.
I tried repairing Photoshop . . . no change.
I uninstalled Photoshop, rebooted, installed Photoshop. it loaded slower then and the last thing I saw load was plugins then something about Python and then the error again.
When I try to open the program, it goes so fast that I can't see what's loaded and where it stops now.
I searched for like problems . . . found one that they found was caused by a sound driver on an ASUS board but it was different. I tried rolling back the sound driver anyway and it didn't fix it so I updated it again. There was a reference to check the Event Viewer which I know nothing about but I tried it anyway . . . found nothing.
Any help will be appreciated or if you know a way to debug the load or slow it down to see what it's trying to load please clue me in. Thank you for any help.

O, OK . . . didn't solve the problem anyway. I am sorry I can't figure this out on my own instead of taking up everyone else's time. Downloading and installing 12.6
New driver installed but this did not resolve problem; still getting the error message when trying to load the program
FIRST!!! I want to thank everyone for your help . . .
While waiting for another idea, out of casual curiosity because I hate Win 7, I right clicked the ocn for PS and checked the list of options. Since this was a reinstall, I clicked on the Troubleshoot Compatibility out of curiosity . . . got a choice to Try recommened settings or Troubleshoot programs; I clicked on the 'Try recommended settings' . . . it came up with recommendation of XP Pro setting and I clicked on it and up came PS and installed some more stuff.
I am sure this can't be the right answer or it would have never worked in the original install, but it worked for the re-install and that gets me up and running for the time being . . . now to further test and make sure it's working right.

LR2 does not load images in Photoshop CS3

When I select an image in LR2,than choose "Edit in Photoshop CS3",Photoshop does load,but after that an "Open" dialog box appears,instead of the selected image.Same with "Open as a Smart Object".
Also in LR2,Develope Modul,Camera Profiles I don't see "ACR 4.5",although I did this update.
What I tried:reinstall LR2.Did not work.Reinstall PSCS3 with all updates.
Didn't work either.
My OS system is a Windows XP Professional Edition,SP3.
Please help with a solution for this problem.
Thanks,
Peter

Dear Paul,
Thank you,but it doesn't really work.
I mean,if you saw Scott Kelby's tutorial about Photoshop Integration at http://www.photoshopuser.com/lightroom2/,he opened a raw file as a smart object from LR2 in Photoshop,without making any copy (tiff) of the image.When I try the same,an "Open As" dialog box pops up in Photoshop,wich means I have to search through the folders to "tell" Photoshop wich image I want to open as a smart object.I tried it with tiff and jpeg,but same thing happenned.
The "workaround" way you suggested creates a copy,plus I have to convert the image into a smart object,instead of having LR2 doing it.
So the "Open as a smart object" and the "Edit in Photoshop CS3" commands in LR2 are just pointless this way.
Thanks anyway,
Peter

Getting error on imac at time of loading photoshop CS3 plugin - "One or more plugins currently not available on you system"

Hi,
I am getting below error message while loading photoshop plugin on intel mac os 10.5.7 in photoshop CS3.
"One or more plugins are currently not available on you system. For details, see Help -> System info"
In System info it is giving error as
"Plug-ins that failed to load:
Dissolve NO VERSION - - from the file “/Applications/Adobe CS3/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Plug-Ins/Filters/Dissolve.plugin/”
I have build this code with Xcode v3.0 & selected settings build configuration as "i386".
Is there any CS3 SDK updated need for intel mac or any build settings need to be done in xcode?
Same plugin is working well on emac, but giving above mentioned error on intel mac.
Please let me know if anyone have any idea about this.
Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a PiPL issue, can you show us your definition?

Trying to load my Photoshop CS3 onto new Mac Book Air. Why does it ask for InDesign CS4 part way through?

Loading my Photoshop CS3 onto new Mac Book Air. Why does it ask for InDesign CS4 part way through? I have a CS5.5 disc. Will suffice?

that doesn't make sense. you will only be prompted for earlier adobe versions when installing a latter upgrade version.
double check your versions.
also, you might want to clean your computer before retrying to install, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

Photoshop CS3 vs CS2 32 bit floating point tiff loading

Hi,
The application I'm developing exports 3 channel 32 bit floating point tiff's.
The exported files could have been loaded into PS CS2, but PS CS3 can't load them anymore, all I get is a message box with this message:
"Could not complete your request because of a problem parsing the TIFF file."
I've uploaded the file here, so you guys can have a look at: www.thepixelmachine.com/dispmap.tiff

Where should I've posted this thread instead? I suppose people here write plugins by programming them (right?), so they suppose to be programmers, not regular PS users. I thought a programmer would be much more familiar with programming related issues, such as tiff file saving c++ routines. Correct me if I'm wrong.
The people who tested the file have Photoshop CS3 and didn't manage to open it, they even sent me screenshots with the error message box. In CS2 however, the file loads perfectly. Also, the single strip version opened just fine in CS3.
You may close this thread, the problem was solved and more than that it looks like I haven't posted it in the right forum.
Thanks.

Photoshop CS3 Register Now/Later Screen not loading

Mac OSX 10.7.5
I have been using the CS3 products (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) every day for many years at work.
Working fine yesterday.
Try to use them today, the register now/later screen won't load properly (blank screen) so I can't select either option and can't use the apps. We usually "register later" without issue whenever it appears.
Any suggestions on what's causing the issue? Console logs aren't useful.
Cheers.

Thanks to all of you! And "rebob," I beg your pardon... I didn't even know my router was working! I was still able to logon to the internet even after disconnecting it from my computer. As soon as I disconnected the router too, and ensure I was indeed off of the internet, it worked the first time! Thanks again!

Re-Down Loading Photoshop CS3

I had to replace my Photoshop CS3 because I crashed my hard drive, so I logged on and went to my old orders and found my order from July 2008.
It had my correct serial number, so I down loaded it. Now when I try to open the program I just get the file where it is located. I have went to the chat program and they transferred me to the technical chat and they referred me to this program.
