Photoshop CC 2014 not responding and cannot uninstall

PS CC 2014 installed on Mac.  Recent update stopped at 74% days ago.  Tried to stop update and now it says "finishing" for the last 2 days.  PS CC 2014 won't open at all.  Tried to uninstall it and Adobe Creative Cloud but I keep getting a message that the Adobe Manger is still running and it closes me out.  This is a serious work stoppage.

Hi Donna, and welcome to the forum
I am afraid I am not familiar with Mac and OSX, but with Windows we have a Task Manager in which we can view all process currently running, and select and stop them.  If you have a similar function with OSX, you can stop the problematic process.
You can also try the Cleaner tool and the other links below

Good luck

  • Photoshop CC (2014) "not responding" at startup

    Hi,
    I've just installed Photoshop CC (2014) on my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013), running Mac OS X 10.10.2. On startup I get the "spinning wheel of death" and my CPU run up to 100%. In the "Force Quit Applications" window I get "Photoshop not responding". After about 5 min photoshop sems to work but it's very slow. I've used Photoshop CC (not the 2014 version) without problems until this morning.
    Any ideas? I've already tried to disabled the GPU without any luck.
    Thanks,
    Calle

    Same problem with Prmeiere, no problems with InDesign..

  • Photoshop CC 2014 not responding mac

    I have installed Photoshop CC 2014 on my new Macbook Pro Retina. On launch of the application it will load but as soon as I do anything (change tools, try to make new file, etc..) I  get the spinning beach ball and the program freezes. I have to force quit to get out. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. Nothing seems to work. In fact I have Illustrator, Photoshop and After Effects installed (all 2014). And Illustrator is the only one that works.  After Effects doesn't make it past the splash screen (loading mediacore). Very frustrating. Attached is a screen shot of my Macs specs.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    I would then look at Folder Permissions:
    In the Finder menu click and hold on the GO menu. Hold the option button and the User library will show up. Click the User Library.
    In that folder go to Preferences and find the Adobe folder.
    Right click on Adobe folder and click Get Info.
    In the Sharing & Permissions section there should be three names.
    All should say Read & Write next to them.
    Unlock the lock, switch them all to Read and Write.
    Then click on the little gear directly under the names or to to the left of the lock and in the pulldown click on "Apply to enclosed items".
    Then lock the lock again.

  • "Program Not Responding" and cannot shutdown the computer? Help?

    I have a TouchSmart tx2, upgraded from Vista to Win 7 Ultimate, 32-bit.  The BIOS version is F.03, Released 2008 11 25.  My computer will not shut down...I get a blank screen and the constant whirrrrrr of the hard drive but it will not shut down and I am forced to do a hard shut down and restart in SAFE mode.   Further, I get the "Program not responding"  problem 6 to 7 times a day while running Outlook, and several other programs.  I'm not sure what to do at this point?  Help?

    Same problem here since an upgrade to the recent xbmc version.
    - hal removed
    - udisks and upower installed
    - my user is in the 'power' group
    I start X via /etc/inittab:
    x:5:respawn:/bin/su lynix -l -c "/bin/bash --login -c 'startx xbmc'>/dev/null 2>&1"
    and my .xinitrc is:
    #!/bin/sh
    nvidia-settings -l
    if [ "$2" == "xbmc" ]; then
    # start XBMC
    exec ck-launch-session /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/xbmc --standalone -fs --debug &>$HOME/.xsession-errors
    else
    # start openbox session
    exec ck-launch-session openbox-session &>$HOME/.xsession-errors
    fi
    Any hints what could be wrong?

  • Photoshop not responding and cannot access my user information from home screen.

    I have Photoshop 9 when I get the home page and click on the organizer a hour glass appears and the software stops responding. I have upgraded to plus members and it will not access my user infromation so I cannot use the benifits.

    I assume you are talking about Photoshop Elements 9.  If so try that fourm at http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements

  • HELP!! -- I have Photoshop Album SE 1.0 and cannot uninstall

    I'm trying to clean up my system and have Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 1.0 installed a couple of years ago and now I want to uninstall the damn thing, but it is asking for a serial number. This was supposed to be a free version back then for 200 pictures are so. Why do I have to provide a serial number to UNINSTALL the damn thing?
    Any help is appreciated!
    *One disgruntled user*

    Hi Vasanth,
    You do not need the serial number. It sounds like it thinks you are
    installing it. May I suggest just deleting the entire Photoshop Album
    folder. It will not delete your pictures because it does not keep your
    pictures in that location.
    You will likely then get an error, but if you use something like
    ccleaner, that should sort out the mess for you.
    Cheers

  • When I try to start Firefox, I get a message that it is already running but not responding and I can't run another Firefox at the same time. I uninstalled and reinstalled. No change. Tried various other suggestions. Help!!

    When I try to start Firefox, I get a message that it is already running, but not responding and that I should close it before trying to run another Firefox. But I cannot find a way to close Firefox program that is not running as far as I can see. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but that did not work. I've tried various other things, but no luck. I thought programs should stop when the computer is turned off, but that didn't work either.

    How are you opening the Profile Manager?

  • My Photoshop elements 11 and 13 organizer suddenly exits. photoshop elements is not responding. Message occurs when the error is found. solicit help

    My Photoshop elements 11 and 13 organizer suddenly exits. photoshop elements is not responding. Message occurs when the error is found. solicit help, That's all.

    We really cannot know. So far you haven't told us anything about your system nor is there any feasible way to diagnose what this "missing file" could be, no matter what. That is, short of elaborate tracking and observation using specialised system diagnosis tools. The welcome screens can be brough back via the Help menu, but well, this might bring back the problems as well. Anyway, this is most likely nothing that a forum can help you with. If you know a computer geek, give him a call. Otherwise I don't see what we could do for you.

  • I am getting this error message, " The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" when I try to go to Firefox home. I have uninstalled add-ons, uninstaleed and reinstalled a fresh new firefox which did not help

    I am getting the following error message, " The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" when I try to go to firefox home. I uninstalled add-ons , uninstalled Firefox and then installed a fresh version. Still have the problem.
    Thanks for the help

    That issue can be caused by a corrupted or incomplete Visual C++ installation (multiple versions can be installed side-by-side; SxS) that is missing some runtime components (Redistributable Packages) that Firefox depends on (problem with an embedded manifest file that specifies a specific runtime version).
    You need to install the missing components (e.g. VisualC++ 2005 Redistrbutable).

  • Photoshop CC 2014 (fresh installed and updated) does not recognize my graphic processor (NVIDIA GTX 840)

    Photoshop CC 2014 (fresh installed and updated) does not recognize my graphic processor (NVIDIA GTX 840) but instead only a Intel HD 4600. How do I ensure that PS is using the full phardware power of my notebook. My OS is WIN 8.1 Thanks for your help, Meik

    In the end it was the NVIDIA software - excluding PS as application for support by high performance graphic processor to save energy - activated NVIDIA card use for PS & LR all fine now.

  • Bought a package photographer, installed photoshop and Lightroom 5.6 64-bit, Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 was Russian, and Lightroom 5.6 64-bit is not and was not in a sample of Russian language. Tell me what to do?

    Well, the quick summary that you are not going to like: This system is pretty short on RAM and processor power, your graphics driver is outdated and you are using two screens with different resolutions, which eats up all graphics acceleration plus your card has only 256 MB of VRAM in the first place, which doesn't meet the requirements. You will never be able to use 3D under those conditions.

    Tamara,
    Did you reinstall using the full three step way (otherwise strange things may linger)?
    Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

  • I am not receiving new emails on my phone.  I am receiving a pop-up that reads "cannot get mail" saying my server is not responding and to check my settings.  My settings are correct. Help!

    Looking for help.... I keep getting a pop-up message on my phone stating that my server is not responding and to check my settings.  My settings are fine.  Any advice on what I can do to receive new emails on my phone?  Help!

    For a few weeks I have been using the GMail app on my iPhone 4S to get mail without problem.  When I wanted to check something in Apple's Mail app, which has worked well for years, I now get a message for my principal email address that the server is "not responding," even though the same server is responding to my GMail app.  For some reason, when I dismissed the message in Mail, it popped up again, but then could be dismissed.  Did something change in Mail that requires some imap addresses be deleted and readded?  Any idea?
    I would not want to think that Mail is programmed to befuddle if it is ignored too long.
