My photoshop won't open, it says that the preferences file has been deleted. What do I do?

I was just working in my photoshop with no problems, I had just downloaded a free trial pluggin (Filter Forge) but that wasn't working, so I tried to close photoshop to re open it and it wasn't responding so I had to force quit it, and when I went to reopen it this box pops up..... "Could not initialize photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted)" I looked up how to fix this and I went under the library on my MAC to try and find the preferences file to move it because they said that would help, well I forgot.....the file has somehow been deleted. My other option that I haven't tried yet is to open photoshop and do the shortcut keys that resets everything but Im nervous to do that because I don't know what will get reset. Any help will be awesome I have several projects Im working on and need to finish!
Thanks

If you have not saved your custom presets for some time you should naturally lose those when opening with cmd-alt-shift pressed and selecting to "delete settings file" – but you can consider this a learning experience.
Apart from the presets you also need to set your Preferences (Interface, Performance, …) again after that if you had in any way changed them from the default settings.

A friend of mine downloaded an app from the internet onto my iPod Touch 4 so I could play pokemon on my iPod, I deleted the app but now iTunes and the App Store won't open, they say that the certificate for this server is invalid. What should I do?

Unable to initialize Photoshop because the preferences file has been removed

Hello
After a week without using photoshop, I can no longer open it. As soon as I try this message appears: "Unable to initialize Photoshop because the preferences file has been removed."
So, I went to look for this preferences file that I've never deleted and I can't find it.
I tried to reset photoshop with keyboard shortcuts preferences, it does not work. I also uninstalled and reinstalled the software, it does not work either.
What else could I do ...?
Thank you for your help.

Seems odd that such a problem would crop up on its own. That kind of sounds like a registry or permissions problem. What other things did you do with the computer between the time it worked and it didn't?
And if you're willing to uninstall / reinstall to try to recover operation, it might be prudent to try the Adobe cleaner tool to really be sure you've uninstalled everything...

My iPhoto won't open it says that the library is locked

I cannot access the photo library and all my iphone pictures are stored there and lots of pictures from my work that i dont have anywhere else

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

But it is not getting delivered by email.
When we checked wf_notification_out table, it says it is sent.
Can anyone please help us on this.
Thanks,

So help me understand here... Some system sends an email with an attachment to a SharePoint email-enabled library, saving the attachment. This occurs each morning. You then want the SharePoint library to send you an email after each time this happens?
Why not just set up an alert on the library instead of workflow? Or have the source system send out the alert as well?

Why does my computer say that the software update has been tampered with and cannot download?

I recently wiped my computer's hard drive and was updating my software when it told me that. What does it mean? Is there anyway to bypass it?

Hello, are you really still on 10.5.6?
Which exact SW or update is this, & do you have a link?

When I start up the computer, the dialogue box opens and saying that the procedure entry point splite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll. I tried to fix this problem by redownloading itunes, but the problem still

When I start up the computer, the dialogue box opens and saying that the procedure entry point splite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll. I tried to fix this problem by redownloading itunes, but the problem still persists. How can I fix it? thank you.

With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Reboot and see if all is well
In case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Paste file "SQLite3.dll" to the location.
5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
Good Luck

My iphone 4 won't connect to my apple id account it keeps saying that my account limit has been reached

my iphone 4 won't connect to my apple id account it keeps saying that my account limit has been reached

you can only use your apple id on 10 devices, so if you have signed into devices, and not signed out, that would be your problem

I have just been sent an email to say that my apple id has been used to download ibooks. I have now changed my passport but want to know if I will be charged as I did not download this ?

I have been sent an email to say that my apple id has been used to download ibooks. I have now changed my password as I have not downloaded ibooks. I would like to know if I am going to be charged ?

Was it a genuine email from Apple or a phishing attempt to try and get your account and payment details ? Whether you will be charged will depend if anything was downloaded on your account, and whether or not it was a free item - we are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know if anything has been bought on your account.
The iBooks app is free app, but if you haven't already done so then check to see if anything shows on your account's purchase history : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store.
If a purchase shows there and you didn't make it, and nobody else has access to your account or devices and made it, then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

How can I download my past purchases that are not in my icloud? Somehow I lost songs that I purchased they say that the orginal files are gone but I did not delete them

How can I download past purchases that are not in my icloud? Somehow I lost songs it says that the orginal files can not be located. They are still available in the store but it doesn't give me the option to download them. I did not delete any songs or files but I am missing a lot of files

The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.
If you have to resort to trying to pull back the library from your iPod see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
Note also that if iTunes has an entry for a song, even if that entry is broken, then it won't offer that track for download since it "thinks" you already have it. If you can't find the original files or recover them from a device, then you may need to delete the broken entries, close iTunes and reopen before you can access the past purchases.

After having to get a new computer, I tunes repeatedly asks to authorize the computer to play/sync purchased music. However, ITunes is saying that the computer is already authorized. What do I do?

You can transfer all the iTunes purchased music from the iPod Touch to your new computer.
From iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer:
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod has your purchased content from the iTunes Store, you can transfer the content to a computer that is authorized for your Apple ID.
Note: This option only works for content you purchased from the iTunes Store (as opposed to content from other sources, such as CDs you may have imported). For content you did not purchase from the iTunes Store, synchronization occurs in one direction only. This means your content can be copied from a computer to your iOS device, but cannot be copied from your device to a computer.
Open iTunes.
From the Store menu, choose Authorize Computer.
In the dialog that appears, the Apple ID button is selected by default. If you have an AOL account, select AOL.
Enter your Apple ID or AOL account and password. Then, click the Authorize button.
Connect your device your computer. If it is synced with another iTunes library, the following may appear:
If this alert appears, click Transfer Purchases.
If you were not offered the option to transfer purchases:
After connecting your device to the computer, its icon appears in iTunes. Click the icon.
From the File menu, choose "Transfer Purchases from 'Your device name.'"

Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Or quit the settings app and restart.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
