Photoshop CC freezing!

I've had Photoshop CC for about a good month now and it's been working fine until about a week ago! I always make GIFs using my Photoshop CC, so I'm always using the File>Import>Video frames to layers button BUT now when I press 'Video frames to layers' my Photoshop freezes completely and never unfreezes or am I able to close Photoshop until I restart my laptop.. Thank you in advance! (I'm using windows 7 and my Photoshop has every update installed)

Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by pressing command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift while starting Photoshop until the appropriate dialog appears after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)

Adobe Photoshop CS5 Freezing on Eyedropper tool, please help!

Hello all! I would be so appreciative of any help I can get with this.
I am working on a some graphics that need to be completed very soon, and suddenly photoshop is freezing on the eyedropper tool. I've tried force quitting, which does not work, and then restarting multipe times, but this has not worked either. Every time I reopen my file (which is an 8.5 x 11, 350 ppi,grayscale image), and try to work with the paint bucket tool, the problem persists. I'm not able to click and change the tool, use any options under file/edit/view/etc, go to another layer, click out of the window/close photoshop. I am still able to zoom in and out with keyboard short cuts, but that is about it.
I am working with CS5 on a Mac OS X 10.6.8 , 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon procesor.
Please let me know if there is any more information I can provide to help explain the problem.
Thank you!

Have you tried resetting the eyedropper tool?
Click on dropdown box of tool in upper left hand corner. Then click dropdown box arrow in right corner of the window.
If that does nothing reset the preferences.
Start photoshop and immdeiately hold down the option + command + shift keys. (Windows Alt Ctrl Shift).
You should get a reset window.
It is a little tricky so if you see the splash screen you are too late.

Photoshop CS6 Freezes on launch - Windows 7 64bit

Photoshop CS3 Freezes When Opening/Creating New Files

My System: Mac OSX 10.5.8, 2.1GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo, 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
My Problem:
It seems to be that if I download print drivers Photoshop will freeze anytime I want to open or create a new file. This problem arose when I downloaded a new print driver (unfortunately after deleting several others to ensure the problem was fixed). I was able to delete the print driver resolving this issue, but now it seems to be that anytime I download a new print driver, even though these previous print drivers had been on my computer before it freezes PS again. These previous drivers had worked perfectly fine when I had PS on my system before and I can't understand why all of the sudden now PS won't work with them.

Because of a bug in the printer drivers.
Photoshop asks for basic information ("name of printer", "default page size", etc.) when creating a document.
If the printer driver has serious bugs, then it may hang or crash at this point.

Photoshop CC freezing when opening photo(s)

When opening photos into Photoshop CC, photoshop somewhat freezes. It appears that it is trying to open the file, but nothing happens. I have tried to let it sit for about 30 minutes, to let it runs it course, with no progress. This happens when opening a single photo or opening multiple photos at a time. The only way to get out of this, is to Control, Alt, Delete. I have tried closing out of Photoshop and going back in and even rebooting the computer completely, with no luck. Each time, I get the same thing. This all seems to have started after I ran the newest update.

Have you trashed the preferences as mentioned here?

Photoshop cs3 freezes in leopard 10.6

Hey everyone,
First post here. Up until about a week ago I've been running the Adobe CS3 suite under OS 10.5 with no real problems (except the usual freeze when running too many!) After installing the 10.6 update, photoshop would freeze every time I attempted to use a tool on the image (eraser, brush, etc).
I then read on another separate forum to do a reinstall and backup of OS 10.5 and to NOT upgrade to 10.6. I did this and now photoshop works fine - it works again. Only problem is I'd like to have the new Safari browser and the other features with 10.6.
Apple, do you know why photoshop CS3 doesn't work with the latest OS upgrade? Will you have a patch for this soon?
Please help - thanks!

@ Templeton Peck - Jeez - what crawled up your b* - this guy has a problem which directly relates to an update of an Apple product. His CS3 was working prior to the 10.5.6 update and now its not.
Third party or not this is an Apple forum and therefore a good resource for problem solving issues.
Might I suggest in future you direct more effort into helping people with problems rather than ripping them for seeking help.
+With that in mind...+
I have a similar problem with CS3 on the Mac, try resetting the preference as stated above. Repair your permissions too. It is worth noting that occasionally I have issues with CS3 on my MacPro freezing when I have Microsoft office programs open. It seems to be more prevalent when doing something complex - smart layers or moving images from one PSD to another. The software hasn't crashed (although it says not responding in the force quit box) it has merely frozen. Depending on how complex the artwork it normally comes back after a short while and starts responding again. I am led to believe that it is due to Microsoft Office not being optimised for Multi-core processors. It happens possibly a couple of times a day but there is no hard and fast rule to it happening.
In your defense - I always start here for anything related to my Mac as normally the people here are very helpful (Peck not being a good example), before heading out on a bigger search. (And Especially as the Adobe forum is woefully hard to find any information on easily)
Good luck...
Hope this helps...

Photoshop CS5 freezes when opening files

Since, I belive, the last CS5 update a week ago, Photoshop is freezing for a few seconds (5 or 6) everytime it opens an image, any image, regardless of its size, color mode, layers, etc. This was not happening before. Anyone with same problem?
I have a Mac Pro 2x2.66MHz with 11GB Ram and Mac OS X 10.6.4.
Thx

Yes, here at work we use Font Agent Pro. I tried your 'unspoken' suggestion and the problem indeed goes away when removing the Font Agent Pro auto-activating plugin.
Thanks for the solution. Should we avoid the Font Agent Pro plugins in InDesign and Illustrator too? Is there a better way for auto-activating fonts (Suitcase Fusion)?

Title says it all.. every time I start up Photoshop it freezes at "Building TWAIN menu items" and causes an error menu to pop up where I can choose to send it or not send it. Anyways I've never had a problem before until last night. It doesn't make any sense..
Any thoughts?

I fixed it, just incase anyone else gets the error heres how..
Browse to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Plug-ins\Import-Export
then find the Twain_32.8BA file and rename it to ~Twain_32.8BA

Photoshop Touch freeze

Hey guys. I recently purchased a AGPTEK Tablet that runs Android(Ice cream sandwich) and promptly downloaded Photoshop Touch, my main reason for buying the tablet. The only problem is that the program hardly ever loads past the initial start up screen, and when it does open none of the tutorial/project functions work. I've got plenty of room on my tablet and everything else seems to be working fine. I've even uninstalled/reinstalled the program with no luck. Any ideas?

Toshiba must have or should have provided you with a CD/DVD and seril number with the machine. however, if PSe is freezing then the first thing you need to try is to reset it to default settings. This can be done in two ways but the easiest ay to do is to go to (I am mentioning only the one method here):
<C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\11.0\Editor>
Find the file called: Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 Prefs.psp and rename it to: Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 Prefs.old
For username you need to insert the correct username or Windows profile name. Also, when you are doing this, make sure PSE is closed completely i.e. you should not have it open to do any work.
I am assuming you know how to browse the relevant folders if they are hidden in the system because this is taken for granted here. Also, the file names may not have any extensions but I am sure you know how to make them display on the screen.
Good luck.

Photoshop Elements freezing on os x yosemite

I have updated to os x yosemite and now photoshop element freezes. How can I fix this?

Hi,
We sincerely apologize for the problem customers are facing while using a trackpad with Photoshop Elements 11 & 12 on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
We have been actively working with Apple to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. We're hopeful this will get completely resolved in an upcoming update of Yosemite(MAC 10.10).
In the meanwhile, you have two options to work around this problem:
1. Option1: Use a mouse instead of the trackpad
2. Option2: Install a plug-in which should workaround the problem
Plug-in installation instructions:
1. Close Photoshop Elements
2. Download this zip file to a location you can easily find (e.g. your desktop)
3. Unzip the file, WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin, and move it to the Plug-In folder:
• For Elements 12 – //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 12/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
• For Elements 11 - //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
You can verify the plug-in is installed by launching the Photoshop Elements Editor and choosing Help > System Info... Scroll to the bottom of the text in the dialog and look for the plug-in name "WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin".
Note: This plugin is a temporary workaround and should be used until this issue is addressed in Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). Please remove this plugin once the issue is officially resolved by Apple.
If you are using a stylus in conjunction with a trackpad, you might see issues with your trackpad. Workaround in this particular case is to use mouse instead of the trackpad.
Hope this helps!
Regards,
vaishali

Problem with Photoshop hangs/freezing for users on a terminal server

Dear Forum!
I'm having some trouble with Photoshop freezing over a period of ~20 minutes when you (1.) user the eraser with special brushes and (2.) copy and paste material from a PDF to Photoshop. As you might notice by the size of this post i'm getting quite depserate over here and need some help.
A Little background information...
Photoshop CS6 is installed on a terminal server with ~25 Active users where 3 of them are using Photoshop.
The operating system on the server is Windows Server 2012 R2.
There are no additional add-ons just a plain installation of Photoshop in that matter.
The server uses 40-60% of the memory most of the time (mostly a bit less, some times a bit more but never 100%) and 40% of the CPU.
There's enough space free on the disc.
The problem in detail...
There are two occasions where the freezing has occured most of the time. After it hangs for the first time, it will happen everytime you do any of the operations over a period of ~20 minutes and it's Mutual for all users. When it freezes, the whole terminal session freezes but the program i still responding (it's not getting set to "not responding") when viewed from Another user through the task manager. Ending the process as an administrator sometimes work, although from the moment i end he proces it takes about 10-60 seconds Before the program actually Closes and the user gets back Control. The easiest thing to do most of the time is if an administrator forces them to log out.
1. The first occasion is when you use the eraser with a brush that's not standard but manually added. The names of the brush packages used are:
Extacy__Elemental
KKC_Fractal
Kornkid's_Grunge_Set
and the problem is with all brushes inside those packages. The way i evoke the problem is the following:
     1. Start Photoshop
     2. Create new
     3. Fill the background with any color
     4. Select the eraser tool
     5. Change the brush to one of the ones mentioned above
     6. Program freezes
2. The second scenario when the problem occurs is when the users copy something from a PDF to Photoshop. The way i evoke this is:
     1. Open a PDF
     2. Select area and copy it
     3. Open Photoshop
     4. Create new
     5. Paste into Photoshop
     6. Program freezes
Solutions we have tried so far...
I've been working on this for several round now and i'm not entirely sure on what exactly i have done. I will try and do the following solutions once more but i'm pretty sure that i have tried most of them.
Update graphic card drivers.
Resetting all Tools:
     1. Select options for a tool
     2. choose "Reset all Tools"
Resetting presets:
     1. Hold ctrl + shift + alt while Photoshop is starting
     2. select "yes"
Tested if it matters if i have a pen connected or not, which it doesn't.
Removed the special brushes (but it still freezes when copy/paste from PDF)
Removed "save in background" and "automatically save recovery information" options
Updated to latest version.
Turned off OpenGL
Solutions i haven't, but will try...
Reinstall Photoshop
Change font preview size
     1. Go to "type"
     2. select "Font prview size"
     3. select "none"
Delete system font cache
Close all Adobe applications including the Creative Cloud desktop app (if installed).
Navigate to \Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\Appdata\Local
Delete the *FNTCACHE*.DAT or *FontCache*.dat files.
NOTE: The asterisk (*) indicates various numbers, letters, or words, such as FontCache-S-1-5-21.dat or COFFfntCache.dat.
Delete Photoshop font cache
Exit Photoshop and the Creative Cloud desktop app (if installed).
Navigate to the appropriate folder
Photoshop CS6 and earlier.
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe
Windows 7: \Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe
Photoshop CC and CC 2014
Windows 7 and 8: \Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC or CC 2014
     3. Delete the TypeSupport folder (Photoshop CS6 and earlier) or the CT Font Cache folder (Photoshop CC and CC 2014), and empty the trash.

Hi Mylenium!
Thanks for your reply but since the users work on the terminal server via remote dektop the only data sent through the network is a "Picture" of what is happening on the server. All the operations are handled on and by the server and nothing is executed on the users local machine. Also all files are stored on the server therefore the load on the network is minimum.
We are not the first in the World to run this setup and i know that this is possible to do since i've read about others running PS like this.
Kind Regards,
J. Alm
