Photoshop 5.1, work-space snaps randomly, snaps to top, work space snaps

Hi,
I have a new 2.7 GHz iMac, intel core i% with 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3. It has OSX Lion, version 10.8.4. I am running Photoshop version 5.1, which came with CS Premium 5.5.
My problem is that the work space snaps to the top of the PS work-frame every time I try to move it or re-size it. Because It will not let me re-size the window, or move it I Can't place multiple files on the desk top and move them where I want, because they always snap back to some place or to some size that is not what I wanted. I have done the following:
Setting is Standard Screen Mode
Shut off snapping to anything in "View"
Disabled "enable gestures"
Shut off other programs running
Re-booted
Re-loaded Photoshop 5.1 from the original disk
Run MacKeeper to optimize the machine
Disconnected my Wacom Intuos 3 Tablet.
The re-install fixed the issue for a couple of hours, but it returned. The disconnect of the wacom tablet also seemed to help.
This is a real problem and I need help. No other forums seem to shed any light on this. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Hi Babaji,
Do you have the Application Frame turned on?
This will group all your windows in one:
But you can turn it off by going to Window > Frame > Application Frame
Which allows you to have multiple windows:

  • Hi.  I have Snap To Grid and By Kind enabled in Lion but it's not working.  When I trash an icon, instead of snapping the remaining icons to the By Kind grid, a space is left where the trashed icon was.  Any suggestions on how to get Snap To Grid working?

    Hi.  I have Snap To Grid and By Kind enabled in Lion but it's not working.  When I trash an icon, instead of snapping the remaining icons to the By Kind grid, a space is left where the trashed icon was.  Any suggestions on how to get Snap To Grid working?

    Where are you talking about the Desktop?
    I don't see where it is possible to set both Snap to Grid and By Kind they seem to be mutually exclusive.
    And then
    If I have Snap to grid set I get the behavior you describe. If I have By Kind set the icons stay together and close up the space from the deleted icon.

  • I can edit on Premiere Pro 6 files, but after a dozen keystrokes, the space bar and cursor keys stop working while the save function works

    I can edit on Premiere Pro 6 files, but after a dozen keystrokes, the space bar and cursor keys stop working while the save function, render workspace function, export file are still operational. How can I fix it so I may complete my assignment?
    Besides DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Creative Suite 6 is the only software on the machine. I am using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Operating System on AMD FX 6100 six-Core Processor at 3.31gHz and 32 GB RAM memory. There are two SLI-bridged GTX680 NVidia cards.
    The software was very stable for the last six months, working with 720P proxy files from 2.5K masters (Blackmagic Design Camera). I am working on a feature-length project that exceeds 1000 edits. I have broken the file into 2 one hour segments.
    I have deactivated the software before reinstalling the entire OS from scratch. PP6 was very stable for 48 hours. Then the freezing space bar returns. After a dozen strokes into the project, same problem.  I have made cache files store next to originals, I have deleted preview files if they were corrupted and causing instability. Am I missing something?
    I have Microsoft Security Essentials for virus protection. I double checked the memory for damage/defect. Nothing says that the motherboard or other components are damaged.
    I am in film competition overseas and need to have deliverables in less than a month's time.  I lost the last two weeks troubleshooting and this crisis came at an inopportune moment of the project.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Still getting software freezes but found a way to mitigate for the mean time.
    Upon launching Adobe Premiere Pro, hit CTRL-ALT-DEL to launch TaskManager as well.
    You will want to highlight Adobe QT32 Server.exe
    Right click and select "End Process Tree"
    You will get considerable stability in the program, long enough to get timing of cuts done. Be sure to save often.
    If the program freezes, do not hit Save. You definitely want to avoid saving the corruption into your TimeLine
    CTRL-ALT-DEL to relaunch the TaskManager and highlight Adobe Premiere Pro.exe
    Right-click to "End Process"
    No need to reboot the whole system; just launch Premiere Pro again and continue with the session. Note that your work reverted to Last Save.
    Hope this helps until the bug is fixed.

  • I just upgraded to Photoshop cs6 so that my new camera (Nikon D7100) would work in Camera Raw.  However, it will not download from the  "Update" option in CS6.

    I just upgraded to Photoshop cs6 so that my new camera (Nikon D7100) would work in Camera Raw  (I was told that the Camera Raw update 8.3, which is available for CS6, included this camera).  However, it will not download from the  "Update" option in CS6.  I have tried over 10 times - it just says update is not working. and I cannot find an alternate way of downloading this file. So I still can use my camera, even thought I paid to upgrade.  HELP please.

    What OS do you have?  You say you have explained what you had (computer/opsys) but I honestly don't see it here.  If you had mentioned that my advice would have been different; I believe you can only upgrade as far as Camera Raw 8.3 on an older Windows system.  There is more information here (look specifically for the "Revert to 8.3 ..." titles).
    Adobe Camera Raw Help | Camera Raw/DNG Converter 8.4 on Mac OS 10.6, Windows XP, and Vista
    What you've done/written in your last post confuses things further, unfortunately.  Photoshop 13.1 is strictly a Creative Cloud version.  The highest you can go is Photoshop CS6 13.0.1.3 with perpetual license.
    And as far as I can recall, that version can work on Windows back to XP:
    System requirements | Photoshop
    I don't think you're out of luck, but you seem to be leaping into doing things without having the full story, and are jumping to conclusions a bit too quickly.
    Here's what I suggest you try:
    1.  Remove Photoshop entirely with the Creative Suite Removal Tool: 
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    2.  Install Photoshop CS6 from your original media or from here: 
    Download CS6 products
    3.  Update the application using its own Help - Updates process.  That really should get you the latest Camera Raw version that will work.  If that does not bring you a Camera Raw that works with your Nikon, use the "Revert to 8.3" instructions above.

  • Just upgraded to Photoshop CC 2014 and it's playing havoc with my work flow.

    I've just upgraded to Photoshop CC 2014 and it's playing havoc with my work flow.
    i)  From LR5.5, when I click edit with "Photoshop CC 2014" - it opens PS CC 2014 but doesn;t open the image
    ii) Whenever I try and use Nik Viveza it crashes PS CC 2014 when applying the changes from viveza.  I've checked that I have the latest version of Nik software.  It was working fine PS CC
    I'm now going back to CC until these can be resolved.
    Thanks
    Chris

    I was going to reply that I have multiple monitors and have had zero problems with Viveza used with PS CC 2014.  Then I realized two things. One I didn't know if the OP was on windows or the Mac and, two, if the Mac was it a Big Cat or geographic system.  The display characteristics differ greatly between the three systems.
    It sure would be nice to have a one line signature specifying the poster's system available for use on this board.

  • I just installed Photoshop CC 2014, but Latest version of Bridge will not work when I want to open it from PS

    Any idea why is Bridge latest version not working when trying to open it in Photoshop CC 2014 ? (French version) ? When trying, Creative Cloud app will open to ask if I want to download newest version, which I did numerous times now.
    Thank you

    Hi Eric,
    Here's how a similar problem was resolved between PS and BR.
    The issue was confirmed by ChunXiaYang at Adobe staff and solution put in the forum discussion on June 19 (no. 13). Here's a copy:
    I have confirmed that this is a known issue before release. And the workaround is to uninstall and reinstall PS 2014. Then Bridge can be launched by selecting 'Browse in Bridge' in PS2014.
    Please try the installation, and let me know whether it works. Thanks!
    It woks just fine since I unistalled and reinstalled PS 2014.

    I did this with a fresh install of the entire CC package. As soon as the CC packages updated, CC Bridge broke. Unistalled CC PS, reinstalled again, CC Bridge works, but CC PS updates itself again, and breaks CC Bridge.
    You know... The whole move to CC has been a massive cluster... I've struggled with the CC packages for my entire subscription year, and now I'm 1.5 month away from needing to throw down another $720 for no reason what-so-ever, just so we can Beta test your really screwed up subscription services.

    The CC version will not activate with your perpetual CS6 license. Download the version from here:

  • Photoshop Extended CS 4: 32 bit & 64 bit has stopped working with an error 131:4

    Dell XPS 720 Quod Processor 8GB Memory Running Window 7
    Both Photoshop Extended CS 4: 32 bit & 64 bit has stopped working with an error 131:4. which stated to reboot to solve the problem. After several attempts at rebooting the computer, I received the same error message.
    I was in the process of updating all my Adobe software in order to tackle an Adobe Media Encoder problem: when I sent a stream from the time line to be converted to an AVI file from Premiere Pro CS4 to Encoder the window appeared & hung.
    I want to treat the Photoshop problem first. How do I proceed?

    Unable to Re-install Adobe Photoshop cs4
    A few years back my brother bought me a Dell Studio XPS 8100 running Windows 7 pro.
    I have 8 gig's of ram and has a 32 and x64 bit system, right now it is enough for my needs and I can easily spare a gig or two for this program.
    I cannot install this program again. I have used iYogi, Adobe Tech, support and am wondering if it makes any difference whether I install it on a x64 or 32 system?
    Why can't i re-installl the program. I used it a lot and I do miss it.

  • Using Photoshop (v12.0.4) on a cloned disk isn't working.

    Using Photoshop (v12.0.4) on a cloned disk isn't working.  I've cloned (for years) my main hard drive to another for safety.  Recently my main drive shows signs of going bad and needs replacement.  When I boot to the cloned drive (no problem) I can't start Photoshop, getting the messages "Could not open a scratch file because the disk is unavailable" and "Could not initialize Photoshop because the disk is unavailable."  I'm using Mac OS 10.6.8.  Suggestions??

    I've never heard of anyone having a lot of success running a copied installation, but just to be sure, there's a key combination you can hold down during cold startup that will cause Photoshop to prompt you for scratch disk selection.  On a PC it's the Control and Alt keys.  I'm guessing Command and Option on a Mac

  • Hello, I have installed Reader, Adobe Acrobat, trial versions of Photoshop and Illustrator. Some more than once. They work for a few days at most then I am told to re-install. I cant look at any pdf file even though I can still see reader in my programs.

    Hello, I have installed Reader, Adobe Acrobat, trial versions of Photoshop and Illustrator. Some more than once. They work for a few days at most then I am told to re-install. I cant look at any pdf file even though I can still see reader in my programs. What is going on and what can I do to fix this?

    Unfortunately no, It says "Adobe not responding" as well when I try to open a pdf. It has done this a few times where I had to uninstall and reinstall. Also, Illustrator tells me to uninstall/reinstall as well.

  • I have installed Photoshop element 12 trail version in my system and i worked also for some days but it given error that "cannot load default brushes because scratch disk is full " but scratch is 158GB free

    Hi,
    I have installed Photoshop element 12 trail version in my system and i worked also for some days but it given error that "cannot load default brushes because scratch disk is full " but scratch is 158GB free why whats the problem am not getting.

    That thread helped for a time.  But now it seems as though my computer is back to slow again.  But, some of the jargon is over my head as well.  Not sure I knew quoite everything they were talking about.  But thanks a lot for that, it helped I probably just need to reread it and follow the instructions again.  Thanks so much.

  • My Photoshop CS4 has stopped working - Error 148:3 (Licensing has stopped working).....help!

    My Photoshop CS4 has stopped working - Error 148:3 (Licensing has stopped working).....help please?
    I've not changed anything since the last time I used it but it's just refusing to work.

    Ed,
    It seems that there might be some gremlin in the licensing module. The PS CS4 board has several similar instances. I do not know exactly what the problem is, but this should be an easy reset by Adobe. It has worked for the PS users and requires one free telephone call. I am with Harm on this. I doubt that many, if any, users can be of much help. The installation issues *used* to be simple and quick, but I have not had to make that call, since Illustrator 3. Have your S/N handy. If you purchased from the Adobe Store, a receipt # might come in handy too. Once your product has been verified, you'll probably be asked to enter a key, and away you go.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
