Photoshop CC Hangs on Opening Screen "Reading Preferences"

Mac OS X 10.8.4
I've rebooted a couple of times, and uninstalled/reinstalled via the CC Control Panel. Even more comical is when I try to retrieve information about my installation I get this error from the Adobe CC site: We're sorry, something seems to be wrong on our end. Please try again later.
Help!

Thanks for the suggestion. I disconnected and fired up Photoshop, and this time, while it took longer than usual, it did open up!
Then I got back online, shut down and opened again, and worked. Not sure what the deal was, but something was stuck with regard to being online.
Thanks again!

  • Photoshop CS3 Hangs when opening files

    PS hangs when opening, duplicating images. The longer it's on the longer the wait. I'm talkin' 15 - 20 seconds. Deleted the prefs multiple times.
    Anybody else having this problem?

    Set your default printer to something local, that is actually hooked up.
    When Photoshop creates the document, it asks for the default printer information - and your printer driver is taking a nap while trying to connect to the printer.

  • Photoshop CS3 hangs on open -  NO DVD inserted!

    I just installed 10.5.2 and NOW PS hangs at open. The other apps had a problem but dragging out the plist for them corrected them. I tried opening PS with another and with that user it crashed and gave a box to notify Adobe.
    I also ran the CS3 update and it would not install. I tried the version que update and that did not seem to help.
    Both softwares are driving me nuts.

    get rid of Version Cue.

  • PhotoShop CS3 Hangs on Splash Screen - New MacBook Pro w/Mavericks

    I just loaded CS3 PhotoShop and Illustrator onto my new 15" Retna MacBook Pro running Mavericks.
    The programs begin to start up but get hung up at the splash screen.
    There's nothing I can do except Force Quit the application. All of the top menu items are grayed out rendering the programs useless.
    I've attached a screen shot of what it looks like when PhotoShop loads.
    How do I resolve this?
    I've let the applications just sit for over 20 minutes but nothing happens. They're just stuck.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    disconnect from internet
    start CS3
    when error message shows say never
    connect to internet
    Should solve problem

  • READ button on A1 opening screen says application not installed

    How do I associate a reader app with the opening screen READ button such that when the READ button is selecter the app will automatically start?
    Many thanks for any help.

    It depends on the version of the Optimus that you have, it can only be installed on the Optimus Z. If you have another version of the Optimus you may be able to use the experimental ARMv6 version, for details see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android#System_Requirements (note that the ARMv6 builds are broken on some devices and will not work at all)

  • CS3 hangs up on reading preferences

    All of a sudden CS3 hangs up at the splash screen while reading preferences, I gave it 5 minutes but the busy circle just keeps spinning and the program won't open.
    I have a brand new laptop running Windows 7 and  CS3 was working!

    Thanks I will keep this in mind, but finally after just letting ti go, it opened!  Then I closed it and reopened it and it opened normally without haning up, just a weird glitch I guess?

  • Touchpad Adobe Reader stuck at opening screen

    Hi,
    I downloaded the update for adobe reader version 10.3.351 and now the reader is stuck at the opening screen. I have tried opening my pdf files through quickoffice, restarted the touchpad and nothing seems to work. WebOS doctor is not giving me any solutions as well. Does anyone have any other suggestions.
    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    What have you tried so far? You mentioned webOS doctor; have you run this app yet to bring you device back to its defaults? After using webOS doctor you would have logged back into your webOS account and reloaded you apps to your device, this would have reloaded Adobe 10.3.351 which is the latest version of the app.
    Adobe 10.3.351 is the latest version available and is working fine on other Touchpad devices including my own. I am not sure why it would be hanging on your device. Have you installed Preware? If so did you install this back to your device after webOS doctor?

  • Reader xi hangs on opening

    I am running windows 7 and have installed the latest version of Reader xi.  The highlight functions stopped working, so I clicked opened "help" there was a window that opened on the right hand side with a status circle.  This circle frose and then reader closed on me.  I have restarted computer, unistalled and reinstalled reader xi, searched for all abobe files on C: and erased them manually and every time I reinstall reader it hangs and closes.

    Three possibilities
    Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • Desktop & Screen Saver pane won't open in System Preferences

    Whenever I go to open the Desktop & Screen Saver pane in System Preferences, it won't work and I get the message "Preferences Error: Could not load Desktop & Screen Saver preference pane." Please help. Thank you very much.

    This thread sounds pretty much the same as yours.....

    The only thing I can think of might be a corrupted System Preferences .plist file
    Home folder > Library > Preferences > com.apple.systempreferences.plist > drag that .plist to the desktop and try System Preferences again.....
    A new plist file will be created when you open System Preferences again....

  • Photoshop Elements 8 in Windows 7 open screen runs indefinitely....

    When I open Photoshop Elements 8 in Windows 7 the starting screen reads "Gathering User Info.." and this color bar runs continuosly, but the program never fully opens....

    Let's create a shortcut for Editor on the desktop, by-passing the welcome screen:
    Go to C drive>Program Files (x86)>Adobe>Photoshop Elements 8
    Right click on that, >>Send to desktop (create shortcut)
    Double click on the shortcut. Does Editor open now?

  • Photoshop PDF wont open in Reader at Service Bureaus

    I have rasterized 6 illustrator files in Photoshop and saved as PDFs. They display fine on 3 computers at home in Reader. But when i go to kinkos or Alpha Graphics a blank page appears with an error message about a drawing problem when opened in Reader. However the photoshop pdfs will open in photoshop at the service bureaus, but not in Reader. i went home and carefully converted and saved AI files as Photoshop PSD and took care to put them on flash drive correctly and eject usb volume the right way. I have never had this problem before and service bureau employees were stumped. they figured just resaving, renaming and being carefull with flash drive would solve problem, but no.

    same problem with 10.1.6 and it seems more to do with links with % in the url ... first time no problem, sencond time it can not find the page for some reason or a popup occours saying that i need to close Acrobat Reader if it is still opened somewhere.

    What kind of advertisement?  In Adobe Reader?  Can you post a screenshot of that: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933
    Regarding the crash, can you try disabling Protected Mode through the registry: download, unzip, then run the registry script https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/49eeb48b-07c5-4502-984c-8a25259914fa
