Os yosemite, cs6 ext, this is what I get when trying to open,Could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted). please help me

Yesterday it was working fine, this morning I tried to open cs6 and I get the message above. Tried to put the file back in from my laptop ( copied on a thumb drive ) and when I close all the windows the files does not show up again, and ps6 shows me that same message above. I use an iMac 27" computer. I installed a plugin ( WhiteWindowworkaround.plugin1_0_6.zip ) for correcting my cursor problem. PLEASE HELP ME.......

The first thing I would try would be to manually reset the preferences. If that fails, try uninstalling the plugin and see if the problem goes away.
In case you don't know how to reset:
Reset Preferences
1) Close the program and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Win)/Cmd+Option+Shift (Mac) during startup (not reversible)
or
2) Move the Folder. See:

CS6 Photoshop reads this when attempting to "Could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted). HELP!

Finally got a call this morning from an Adobe Rep and he explained to me the issue. He explained that I needed to uninstall the adobe product, in this case Photoshop CS6 and download it again and reinstall it! So, I did that and get the same message when attempting to open the newly downloaded software: "Could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted). Please, if someone could help me as soon as possible! I am very anxious to remedy this situation. Thank you!

This seems to have cropped up a lot recently. What has seemed to work so far is intentionally resetting your preferences:

After a forced computer shutdown, OS X 10.9.5, I have received this message, PS could not initialize Photoshop because the preference file was invalid (it has been deleted).

One idea is to hold down the cmd-opt-shift keys and start Photoshop. It will ask you if you want to delete the settings file. Answer "Yes" and it will create a new Preferences files. Photoshop should continue to load.

Delete the ipsw file and allow iTunes to download it again.

HT201210 what does it mean when i get a message "my ipod could not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible"

iPod version shown in iTunes as "4.3.4" (not listed in the OS drop-down associated with setting up this post. Appeared to download the update OK but as soon as it went to install it came up with "The iPod "xxxxx" could not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible" Why and what do I do now? I'm pretty sure it was trying to install 5.1.1

- Are you updating clicking on the update button in iTunes?
Try a reset. Nothing is lost.
- Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try deleting file and try again. It is located:

In trying to update I received this message: Firefox 3.6.3(2).dmg.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.

In trying to download an update I first received: "There were problems checking for, downloading, or installing this update. Firefox could not be updated because: No data was received (please try again)" It also gave a link to download manually. When I tried from the Firefox website I got: /Users/(deleted for privacy)/Desktop/Firefox 3.6.3(2).dmg.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.
Try again later, or contact the server administrator. I tried this 3 times.

Recently got a new computer and installed itunes from external drive - all music shows up in the library, however when i click on a song i receive this message "the song could not be used because the original file could not be found". What do i do?

I recently got a new computer and installed itunes from which had been saved onto an external drive - all music shows up in the library, however when I click on a song I receive this message "the song "abc" could not be used because the original file could not be found". What can I do?

I was given the option to locate the file where the song is held. If so select "locate" and direct it to the folder / file where the song is and open it. itunes then will give you the option to use this process to update all of your library. OK that as this will do it automatically instead of doing them one by one. I hope this helps.
