My Photoshop just stopped working

I do not have a disc & believe I got it when I bought this desktop in 2011. All other software in the Creative Suite works fine but Photoshop says: "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory. Please reinstall the application." Can anyone help me???

Let me revise my first post...the Photoshop application folder has disappeared. I have tried to locate it through CTRL + "i", etc. but it is gone. I need this for work. Any suggestions?
Thank you.

  • Photoshop Elements 5 just stopped working and will not open my catalogue.

    I have Photoshop Elements 5 running on Vista 64 bit.  It was working fine, but just stopped working out of the clear blue outside of regular Microsoft patches.
    The intro screen opens but when I click on Organize my photos it starts to open the next window but just sits there trying to open my catalogue file of pictures.  I've left it there trying to fully open for hours and nothing progresses beyond that point.  Any suggestions?

    Please re-post your question in the correct forum.

  • Can't open a dng or raw file in cs5, just stops working. So many problems in cs5!

    I totally feel for you. Just upgraded from cs4 to cs5 and it was the  biggest mistake i ever made. It will probably end my livelihood as a  photographer since EVERY time i open a raw file it crashes photoshop,  makes it freeze up after i have adjuted the file in camera raw then I  hit open; i get a few bars then it just stops working.
    Even got  tech help, which helped when i was on the phone with them. The next day  the problem came back even when I danced the same jig that I did when I  had the guy on the phone - he had me move a raw file on to the desktop  rather than take open from my hard drive, then I was able to open it, so  we came to the conclusion that my drive was corrupt. I had the same  information backed up on a brand new hard drive so we compared files  from the each drive against the other. The files from the new drive  opened successfully. Yesterday. Now Photoshop cs5 doesn't open any raw  or dng files at all from anywhere so it can only be a problem with  photoshop. We thought we had the problem solved but we did not. This  never happened on CS4 unless i was trying to open 30 or more raw files,  and even then it gave me a warning that it had no more ram, it didn't  just lock up and do nothing. I'm at my wit's end. Even though there are a  lot of great new things in cs5, they aren't very useful if you can't  use the product to do the simplest thing.

    1) Install the Photoshop 12.0.1 update
    2) Install the latest ACR update.
    If problems continue after that, then there probably is something wrong with your system.

  • Premiere and Photoshop Elements Stopped working

    Been using both for a year. Over the last couple weeks every time I would start one up I'd get the Adobe free trial or subscribe to the Cloud option. Finally, neither (of the paid for programs) would load. Nothing changed on my system. No new software. No other problems. If it just stopped working that would be one thing. The fact that I started getting the sign up screen to trial or subscribe right before it stopped working leaves one to wonder, doesn't it?

    Good to hear from you. Hope that we can help you get your Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 7 64 bit working again.
    My Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 7 64 bit experiences were like yours much of last year. For me, Photoshop Elements 12 was months without resolution and each had its problems with Sign In.
    1. I strongly encourage you to take the opportunity to click on License This Product if you get that tryout dialog popping up and then to follow the instructions to get the program activated. There is no escaping the Sign In which comes with an automatic registration. That is an easy and quick resolution.
    2. Please review the the following to determine if you feel that these choices and continuing choices seem relevant to your situation
    Regarding Sign In

    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Adobe ID/Password Requirement for Sign In.
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Sign In Failure (Connect to Internet or Fix Computer Clock)
    3. Have you included a product like the free ccleaner as part of your uninstalls/reinstalls troubleshooting to remove any leftovers from
    incomplete uninstalls reinstalls?
    CCleaner - Download
    When you do the downloads and installs, have you been disabling the antivirus and firewall(s)? This factor seems to have the most impact
    on the Adobe Application Manager file (.exe) in the .exe/.7z required files.
    Has exploration of the Event Viewer/Windows Logs/Applications errors and warnings offered any insights to pin point the issue as in one
    of the examples in one of the blog posts cited above?
    Think about the merits of troubleshooting one program at a time. Maybe we might get lucky, and one fix will fix both at the same time.
    Often after install/reinstall, deletion of settings files in Photoshop Elements 12/Elements Organizer 12/Premiere Elements 12 might still bring some
    resolution.
    Thanks again for reviewing the above.

  • Please help! "Photoshop has stopped working"

    Please help me - message: "Photoshop has stopped working" - know what to do ... I can not use the newly installed photoshop program.
    My problem is that as soon as (or about 5 seconds) after I opened Photoshop CC, I get an error message stating that "Photoshop has stopped working". I can not use my newly installed photoshop programs.
    I have just the "factory reset" my HP PC with Windows 7 operating system. I have updated everything to be updated in Windows and signed me for Adobe CC at Adobe.com. Now I have installed Photoshop CC, CC Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat Pro X1, ExtendScript Toolkit CC and Extention Manager CC.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled photoshop to see if the program works for it - but no, it does not. I have also tried holding down the three keys Shift - Ctrl - Alt, In connection with that I open the program (I googled the problem and someone tipped off that there could be a solution to the problem) but unfortunately also without success.
    The thing is that all the other Adobe CC program works fully on the computer (InDesign, Illustator and pdf tool Acrobat Pro X1). They work flawlessly.
    What to do?
    Best Regards
    SyssleOscar

    Provide exact system info and the crash logs.

  • Get photoshop has stopped working error on Launch on my Win 8 pc

    About two weeks ago I downloaded Adobe CC for students, my problem is that photshop is not working. When I start the program i get the following message:"photoshop has stopped working and needs to be closed, windows will tell you if there is any solution in the future" I have tried to re-install it twice, and I just updated the program.
    I got windows 8
    Hope to get some help soon! Thanks!

    Does this happen only with Photoshop CC or with other Adobe apps like InDesign CC & Illustrator CC?
    What version of PS CC do you use?
    Try updating to Win 8.1 and that should install all the required windows updates and then check the same.
    You still want to install the video card driver from the manufacturer website, as already suggested by Chris, to be double sure that you have the right GPU drivers installed.
    In case your PS still crash, check Event Viewer for the Faulty Module and let us know.

    Look for "Error" in red color and check the Application name and faulty module.

  • Eraser in CS5 just stopped working

    I am working on a floor plan in CS5 Photoshop. Just basically tracing over an original document and erasing what I trace over. I do this all the time and it has been working fine. But now the eraser won't work at all. When i turn off all the layers except the background layer I can erase things, but then when I turn the layers back on, it doesn't show up erased. I've tried resetting the tool and that didn't work. I'm so confused as to why it just stopped working. Any suggestions????

    1. Select the Move tool (V) and in the properties bar under the may menu check Auto-Select and make sure Layer is selected on the menu next to it.
    2. Click on the spot you want to erase and watch what layer is selected (highlighted) in the Layer's panel. This is the layer blocking the area on a layer below that you want to erase.
    I always use the Move tool in Auto-Select mode and when I don't want it I hold Ctrl key down which toggles the mode. So, if the Move tool is with its default setting to not auto select, you can keep it like that and just press Ctrl while clicking with it to temporarily engage the auto-select mode

  • 'Photoshop has stopped working' (branched)

    I am working with a new system running win 7 pro with all the latest updates.  I just purchased CS5.5 Web Premium and installed it.  DW and AI are working but I cannot get PS to stay up long enough to do anything at all before I get the "Photoshop has stopped working ... " message as described here for ID.  It sound very much like the same bug.  I have both the 64bit and the 32 bit versions and they both behave exactly the same.

    Hi John, Peter:
    Well it could be the same problem.  In my case I now believe it was the nVidia driver, but went through hell getting it fixed.  In the process of updating all my system drivers I flashed the mobo BIOS and although that worked Win 7 decided it now had some new ideas about booting into a diff version of Windows. Got that fixed by disconnecting the SATA cables from 3 other drives so Windows would see the right one and doing Win 7 repair.  Then I uninstalled the nVidia and reinstalled (same version - I had upgraded this right away when I had problems!), but the last time I noticed a check box to do a clean install.  I checked for clean and after the driver reinstalled my Photoshop CS5.1 now appears to run perfectly
    Sorry I got into the ID pile.  A search on the problem put me here initially.  But just in case you have nVidia display cards, make sure you find that clean install check or it will keep whatever is the problem when you reinstall those drivers.
    Cheers,
    Ron

    I have full membership to CC and have been using it for 4 months. Randomly Photoshop stopped opening jpgs, so I uninstalled and re-installed. Photoshop then stopped working all together. I signed out of the app manager and when I signed back in all my info was gone and only "TRIAL VERSIONS" of CC apps were available. I paid for this software. I need to be able to download it again.

    Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum.  Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is.  Apple is not here.  It's users, like you. 
    If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.

  • Creative Cloud Illustrator & Photoshop 'has stopped working' - 'windows is checking for a solution..

    Hello,
    Up until recently, Photoshop & Illustrator stopped working. When I would open the program it would begin to load and then come up with the message ' Adobe Photoshop has stopped working'
    After which there would be another message ' Windows is checking for  solution to the problem'
    and then finally ' A problem caused the program to stop working correctly, windows will lose the program and notify you if a solution is available.'
    Indesign on startup seems to load normally and is fine.
    Do help, time is of the essence.
    Thank you,

    This is the simplest fix, if you're still having a problem with it.  I had the same problem, am running Windows 8.1.  Just be sure to reboot after you copy the dll (dynamic link library) file indicated.
    Copy QTMovieWin.dll from:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    Let me know if you have a problem.

  • While trying to open printer properties, Adobe Photoshop CC stopped working. How can we resolve this?

    Hi everyone,
    I've some problems about Adobe CC Series. For example, when I'm working in Photoshop then try to open printer properties, Adobe photoshop cc stopped working. Illustrator and InDesign have same problem. I've not got this problem in Adobe CS6 Series. Can you help me pleae?

    Hi Gguadagno,
    For the problem that the issue is not happening on a different Account, Adobe does have a KB trying to save your orriginal account:
    Windows:http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-unexpected-behavior-user-account-2. html
    Mac:  http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-unexpected-behavior-user-account.ht ml
    Folowing these steps should actually result in either that you are able to work on your original Account, or that you at least did everything possible (according to Adobe) to save your account.
    You should not be required to use a Second Email for using Photoshop, This does not make much sense, Your AdobeID and OS Account are (or at least should) not (be) linked to eachother.
    Hopefully this will help you to work with the original Account again.

  • Hi, i have an IPod Touch 4g. One of the earphones just stops working after while,no matter how many times i replace them. What do i do?

    Hi, i bought my IPod 4G about 7 months ago. After about a mont of buying them, one the earphones just stopped working which became extremely annoying..so i bought a new set of earphones and they worked well for about 5/6 months and then one of them stopped working as well. About 2 weeks ago, i bought a new set of earphones and now the right earphone of that has stopped working as well. The thing is, the earphone doesnt just stop working on my IPod, it also stops working on my laptop...and now i am very confused as to where the problem lies. I can't keep buying headphones every other week cos that is just too expensive and i dont know if the problem lies with my IPod or what! The same thing is happening to my sister's IPod as they were purchased at the same time. What do we do??

    My Ipod touch 5 just stopped working. The screen got black and now I can't use it or start it.
    I have tried to charge it but it doens't start and when I tried to connect it with my computer it didn't work either.
    I saw that you could hold down the "home" button and the "power" button at the same time but my home button doens't work so I can't do that.
    Is there any other way I can fix it or do I have to go to an apple store?

    my ipod classic got wet back in August.. it seemed to work fine for about a month, but recently is not working at all..screen appeared to get cloudy and then it just stopped working. thanks.

    Most likely, water damage.
    You can try putting your iPod in a tupperware, half filled (maybe half inch) with rice grains, close the cover for about a week.
    If you have done this, as soon as it got wet, higher chances of success, now looks like the water moisture is getting to the LCD screen.
    Then you can always bring it to Apple Genius bar, for a an overhaul. (may cost you half the price of a new iPod classic.)
