Neither Photoshop CC nor Photoshop CS6 will launch

Since yesterday, I've been unable to launch either Photoshop CC or CS6: they just sit in my Windows 8 tray and never come up. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling PS CC but the same thing happens. Is this related to the outage that Adobe had over the past couple of days and if so, when can I expect it to be fixed. I need my Photoshop!

Photoshop CS3 (nor CS2) won't launch since CS3 install

Since installing Adobe Creative Suite 3 Production Premium I can no longer open Photoshop. It repeatedly crashes on the launch window. For the sceptical, my CS3 Production Premium collection was all legitimately authorised and registered.
Of the other CS3 apps that installed (can't install Encore, Premiere or Soundbooth on PowerPC) they all open and run perfectly fine.
I uninstalled all CS3 and re-installed CS2. Now Photoshop CS2 won't open either (but everything else is still fine). Exactly the same problem, Photoshop crashes during the launch window.
What has CS3 changed to my system that prevents Photoshop opening and can I correct the issue? From searches on this subject Someone suggested repairing permissions before and after installing CS3. This had no effect.
Thank you for any help.
//-- edit- the crash seems to happen when 'Building TWAIN menu items' --//

You can try trashing and regenerating Photoshop preferences when you launch.
Hold down command/option/shift while launching Photoshop. You will be asked if you want to get rid of Photoshop settings. Choose yes.
See if this works; you may have to reset some of your Photoshop preferences afterward. I'm not sure why you can't install the other applications.
Also, it may have something to do with activation; did you activate your copy of CS3? You should be able to have CS3 and CS2 both running as far as activation is concerned, but are they on the same drive? This might be a problem if one version is trying to read the other's settings during launch.

EPS placed in InDesign CC, clicking "Edit with Illustrator CS6" will launch application but not open document.

Happens irregularly, if you can call "several times a day" irregularly. Solved by quitting Illustrator and restarting. Coworkers report seeing the same issue.

Ah yes, the "change your decades old workflow" solution. I think I'll try verifying my disk permissions first. Wait, what's a PDP file?
If you are using EPS files between Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign you should definitively change your workflow as EPS does not support color management nor transparency.

Neither wireless keyboard nor wireless mouse will connect

After a power outage, Bluetooth on my IMac remains "Not available". The keyboard and mouse lights go on, then blink and then go out. I installed Yosemite, restarted, consulted these help pages, but NONE of the suggested solutions worked. In the Bluetooth pane, no devices are locatable, so set-up assistant will not work. What can I do?

If you have not tried the SMC reset, do that as a last resort to see if that may help.
Otherwise, there may be a hardware problem behind the symptom you noted...
•Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support
Troubleshooting the BlueTooth wireless component in the computer may be required.
Hopefully you have a good hard-wired USB keyboard & mouse available.
Good luck & happy computing!

Photoshop CC or Photoshop CC 2014: which should I be using?

This may be a dumb question, but I'll ask it anyway: I have both versions of Photoshop installed on my Windows PC: CC and CC (2014) I only want one version because two versions is confusing (see below). Which one should I be using?
Here's why two versions is confusing: When you do ctrl-E (cmd-E on Mac) in Lightroom 5 to edit a photo in Photoshop, then if no version of Photoshop is running, Lightroom 5 will launch the most recently installed version of Photoshop. In my case, the most recently-installed version is Photoshop CC 2014, which I installed using the Creative Cloud Desktop App when Adobe released it. I did not have a problem until one day I manually launched Photoshop CC from an old desktop shortcut and installed some action sets. The next time Lightroom launched Photoshop, my actions were missing! Yes, I know I installed them in the wrong version, and it is my fault. But this would not have happened if there was only one version installed on my PC. Or if Adobe gave better guidance. Their FAQ is confusing.
So I'll ask again: I want only one version of Photoshop. Which one should I keep?

If the latest version performs well with no problems, then that's obviously the one to keep. This is the one that gets updates.
Careful about uninstalling CC with CC2014 still on the system. The earlier version may take file associations with it - sometimes easily fixed, sometimes not. The safe procedure is to always uninstall in reverse version order, then reinstall the newer version you want.

After installation of latest Bridge and Photoshop version (2014.2.2) *.CR2 files will not be displayed correctly, neither in preview nor in Camera Raw dialog.

After installation of latest Bridge and Photoshop version (2014.2.2) *.CR2 files will not be displayed correctly anymore, neither in preview nor in Camera Raw dialogue.
Some pictures have white squares with blue and red diagonal stripes that cover almost the complete picture.
When opening those files I have the same problem in Camera Raw dailogue and even in Photoshop eventually.
I tried to open the same same pictures on another computer with the same version of Bridge and Photoshop but the problem remains the same.
It seems like the files itselves are still ok, because if you open an explorer window the previews of the pictures are all ok. And the pictures' sizes remain the same.
I tried to clear the cache in both programs but it didn't help.
Has anyone an idea????

First see if a reboot of your PC helps. If not,
Resets may be in order:
Photoshop: Press and hold Control - Shift - Alt immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be VERY quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your established preferences, which will lead to them all being set to defaults.
Bridge: Start Adobe Bridge and immediately press Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS) until the Reset Settings dialog box appears. Select all three options--Reset Preferences, Reset Standard Workspaces, and Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache--and then click OK.
Outdated graphics drivers can also cause display problems. Go to your GPU maker's website and be sure you have the latest drivers for your card model.

Trying to open Adobe Bridge from Photoshop CC 2014 will launch Creative Cloud

As written in the subject, I have the problem that Bridge doesn't start anymore since updating to Photoshop CC 2014.
Instead the creative Cloud desktop application is launched and tries to reinstall Bridge CC (although it is already installed)
All old Bridge version were uninstalled without result.

I have the same issue when trying to Browse in Bridge from Photoshop CC 2014. When I click "Browse in Bridge" in Photoshop CC 2014, the Creative Cloud desktop client window opens up and asks "Are you sure you want to install this version of Bridge"?
Like you, I also thought it was an update so I clicked' "Yes, install this version" option.
Bridge will launch from the dock icon I have set up, but not from within Photoshop CC 2014.
Any solutions to this bug anyone?

Adobe Photoshop CS6 will not install on my Mac.

It's strange that you ran the cleaner tool and still didn't worked
you can try to login to Root user account and then run the cleaner tool , and then check.

I redownloaded my Photoshop CS5 and Camera Raw will not accept my RAW files nor will the Adobe Bridge display the picture view of these files.

Photoshop CS6 will not open any graphics files

Photoshop cs6 will not open graphic files, i have reset the settings. I get to see all the files in preview but when I try to open a file nothing happens, no error messages, no file opens, nothing.
When I use bridge I try to open the file with open in photoshop cs6 but again nothing happens. I found that if I reboot my PC photoshop will work correctly until I shut photoshop down but if I reopen it later before rebooting my pc now graphics files will open.
