Photoshop 8 is frozen, won't open can't close with OX Yosemite ?

Uploaded Yosemite last week and today the program is frozen- can't open, can't close

Installing major Mac updates over the top of your existing version of the OS is pretty notorious for damaging permissions. Generally, all you have to do in the case of no longer working Adobe applications is to simply reset the preferences. See this document for further help with that: Preference file locations | Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements
If that doesn't work, then most likely application files in Elements were damaged. Uninstalling and reinstalling should fix it.

I use a Nikon d610 and my Photoshop Elements 10 won't open in camera raw. How can I fix it? The camera version is 6.7.0339

i'm using a Nikon D610 now and Photoshop Elements 10 won't open files in camera raw. How can I fix the issue? The version of camera raw is 6.7.0339

Hi,
The D610 requires camera raw 8.3 which is not compatible with your PSE 10.
You need to upgrade to PSE 12 (or later) or use the free Adobe DNG converter. The converter will take a flder containg your NEF files and converte them to DNG files. The DNG files can then be used by PSE 10.
DNG Converter 8.7

Thank you PatriciaBruhn unfortunately the error is a bit generic. The best I can offer would be for you to try the steps listed in Troubleshoot system errors, freezes | Mac OS 10.x | Adobe software - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-system-errors-f reezes-mac.html. These are generic troubleshooting steps and are great when the exact cause of the problem is unknown. I am not sure if the time and effort of going through the steps will be useful though as you may still run into difficulties. I might also suggest trying Photoshop Elements 10 - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements.html or Photoshop CS5 - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop.html and seeing if either one of those fit your needs. Depending on what you use Photoshop 7 for you may find that Photoshop Elements can do the job plus have additional capabilities not even thought of during the time of Photoshop 7's development. Both Photoshop Elements 10 and Photoshop CS5 have a minimum system requirement of 10.5.8 so as long as your system meets the remaining requirements then they should work fine on your computer.

New Camera RAW in Photoshop CC 2014 won't open multiple Panasonic RAW (.rw2) at the same time from Windows Explorer.

New Camera RAW in Photoshop CC 2014 won't open multiple Panasonic RAW (.rw2) at the same time from Windows Explorer. If I select 2 raw files and click "Open" Camera RAW will only open 1 raw, then when I click "Done" it will close and open the second, sequentially. Previous Photoshop CC and RAW worked fine, it would open mulitple RAW at the same time. How do I fix this?

If it worked for you that way previously there isn't much to comment about. I just tried opening multiple images from Windows Explorer with Photoshop CS6 and Camera Raw 8.6, and the first image would open and when I clicked cancel then the second image would open. But if I wanted multiple images opened in Camera Raw to work on them simultaneously it was necessary for me to open them from Bridge. I just did it as an experiment because I normally use Lightroom. Anyway, IF it was a feature at one time to work as you described, it doesn't seem to be that way now.

To open your domain file in Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with AppleScript Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script"/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"
delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain. Note: you may have to Control (right) - click on the app after uncompressing and select Open due to the Sandboxing feature of OS X. If you have problems with the app create your own with AppleScript Editor.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For Mavericks and Yosemite go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:

Photoshop 5.5 won't open at all & can't reinstall

I have Photoshop 5.5 and 1 gig of RAM. For some reason, lately, I cannot open the program. The window opens, but it is blank, none of the tools load, and there is just the hourglass there. It stays like this. I have to eventually close it (I have to go through the non-responsive bit). When it's locked up like this, I can't even reinstall it. It will just not execute the setup file.
I have tried deleting the preferences file and the .ini file in my settings. I tried rebooting. I have plenty of RAM and harddisk space. I also tried shutting down all other programs, yet still it won't open.
If someone can offer any advice, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

That's a pretty old version (
Released February 1999).
Depending on what version of Windows you're using (you haven't said), it may simply not work. Since I'm not a Windows user, you'll have to wait for further info on that.
And for future reference, Evelyn, it's ALWAYS a good thing to mention which OS version you're using, and to recall what, if anything you might have updated or installed between the time something works, and when it doesn't. Even something you think might be insignificantlike a new video drivermight have an effect.

Photoshop CC 2014 won't open any files, not even create new ones

I have a freshly installed version of Photoshop CC 2014 and it just won't open any single file no matter what I do. I also have Illustrator CC 2014 installed for the past week, and it is behaving fine, and even opening up the files that Photoshop won't open (jpg, psd, png, etc.).
I've tried uninstalling completely, and reinstalling it, and it still won't open any files. Basically, nothing happens after I click the "Open" button from the Open File dialog window.
I've also try resetting my user preferences using this video tutorial, and it also didn't resolve the problem: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/preference-file-names-locations-photoshop.html
Has anyone else experienced this or can give information on how to resolve it?
Thanks!

Well, I finally got it to work through trial and error. Here were the steps that I used to get it to work:
1) Make sure that you are not behind any firewall/VPN/etc, just a direct connection to the internet (if possible). I use Adobe for my work laptop, and I was informed that this could potentially be an issue during installation processes.
2) Uninstall Photoshop via the Creative Cloud application interface.
3) Right-click on the Creative Cloud icon from the system tray and "Quit" (it was automatically started for me from a previous bootup)
4) Right-click on the Creative Cloud desktop icon and choose "Run As Administrator"
5) Re-install Photoshop
After performing the above steps, I can now open any png/jpg/gif/etc file, as well as start a new file. I have no clue why it works or if my steps played any role in fixing it, but I thought it was worth sharing for others to try if they encounter a similar issue. It could be either the firewall I was behind, or the permissions (I don't think Creative Cloud boots up running as administrator). But I am in no position to say I know the exact resolution. Hope this helps!

Why photoshop cs5.5 won't open on yosemite?

I have photoshop cs5.5 (installed on a macbook air running on yosemite), it had been working perfectly and suddenly it won't open. I get a message: "install flash player" (already done, as well as having installed the java se6 /2014 runtime and installed and uninstalled photoshop itself several times) but the only thing I see is that never-ending spinning color wheel. I've been through many threads and forums but haven't found a solution to it. It's worth mentioning that it only happens with photoshop, as i'm able to work fine with other adobe apps (illustrator, in design, bridge,etc)
Does anyone know what might have happened and a possible solution?

Without proper system info such as what Mac and what version of OSX nobody can say much and the logs from your Log Viewer would also help. Well, whatever. As a start run teh cleaner tool and reinstal lthe software.

Photoshop CS 3 won't open Jpgs

I upgraded computers (now run leopard on a mac book) and therefore had to upgrade my Creative suite. Unfortunately, my Photoshop CS 3 is useless. Anything I create in it is, according to other programs considered an invalid file format that other systems won't be able to read and it considers all Jpegs that I try to open as invalid and gives me this message. "Cannot complete our request because an unknown or invalid JPEG marker type is found." Eve those created in CS2
Any other program can open these same files, just not Photshop CS3. I haven't touched preferences. Is there something in there that could be causing this? Does hte program just not work? If not, is there a way to get rid of it without getting rid of everything else and put Photoshop CS2 back on? I'm not the most computer literate but this seems a very bizarre issue to be having.
Thanks,
Sarah

Hi Barbara!
Thanks for the patience; I did succeed in creating a new account/admin. user, but I'm not sufficiently schooled in Mac procedures to know how to install PE 3 from that account. I did (again) delete the two files and the PE 3 folder, and reinstalled the program with the same result - it still won't open.
As a matter of interest, after completing the foregoing steps, I found the MS Word (from Office:Mac 2004) would not open, so had to reinstall that program; that corrected that problem. Have no idea what the connection is - if any between the PE 3 and Word problems.

Photoshop cs5.1 won't open pictures

For about a week and a half now I have been trying to open pictures in Photoshop cs5.1, and they won't open. They are all JPEG files that I am trying to open, I know it is not the files especially because when I try to create a new document nothing comes up.
I would really appreciate an answer as soon as possible. -Thanks

First verify the image is fine, by loading the image in another image editor, there should be a free one included with your OS. If it can read the file with no errors and you can see the image, then the next step it to reset your photoshop preferences. Next is to update your video driver. Can other formats be viewed?

Photoshop Elements 7 won't open at all...

I've rebooted; nothing. I'm not sure if I should uninstall and reinstall, or what. Anyone have any advice? It's appreciated and thanks in advance.
