Photoshop CC hidden tools won't open

Hidden tools won't open.

Sounds like the updater failed and you still have older plugins, or you copied plugins from an older version that you shouldn't have.
Not launching Photoshop means that the binary is corrupt or the updater failed.
Usually uninstalling and reinstalling, then re-updating, is the quickest way to solve it.

What won't open? Photoshop, or the photos that you "stored in iPhoto"?

Photoshop CS4 extended stopped opening fully (no tools, won't open files). Re-installation didn't solve the problem.

Photoshop CS4 stopped opening fully...(It seems to open, the menu is there but no tools and files won't open)... I re-installed from a downloaded file and the same thing is happening. Any suggestions?
Many many thanks,

When you uninstall, check "remove settings", then run the CS cleaner tool.

Help please!Photoshop Elements 8 editor won't open any files (windows 7)

I have Photoshop elements 8 for my windows 7 laptop. I updated my laptop and now Photoshop won't open any files. I click on the psd/jpeg/png that i want to open(file,open) and nothing appears in the editor. even if i try by double clicking it the editor will show up but no file.i have tried restarting the laptop but it still wont work. I can't uninstall photoshop because it came pre-installed on my laptop and no disc or installer came with it. If anyone can please help me i'd be very gratefull.

Quit the editor, then restart it while holding down Ctrl+alt+shift. Keep those keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

Photoshop Elements 8 Files Won't Open

Just got my 1st IMAC on Friday and am trying to figure it out. I have downloaded a trial copy of Photoshop Elements 8 and am not having any luck opening the files I download.
The .zip file downloads into the downloads directory, I double click on it (had to google how to unzip a .zip file on a mac) and move it to my folder called scrapbooking. However, when I start elements and go to files > open file and go to the scrapbooking folder I can scroll up and down through the .jpeg and .png files and I can select a file to open, but the open button is greyed out and it won't open.
Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated!

Wait, wait. You're not installing Elements at all, by the sound of it. PSE does not install by drag and drop. Get that installer out of the scrapbooking folder (for your general info, programs need to go into the applications folder, not wherever you like. Sometimes it doesn't matter, but any program that has any kind of update function will not ever find itself if you put in some random place.)
Starting from the zip file: double click (click once if you're accessing via the downloads stack in the dock) to unizp it. Find the unzipped file and double click that to mount the disk image. Double click the disk image. Double click Setup in the files you see there to run the installer. Do NOT change the installation location from what PSE suggests.
However, your post is very unclear--I can't tell for sure if you already did install it in the wrong place, in which case you will need to uninstall it before doing all this. Uninstall by means of the uninstaller, which for PSE 8 is in the program's folder.
Apple has some very helpful videos for switchers on their website.

Photoshop Elements 9 Editor Won't Open

I have PSE 9, and the editor won't open (organizer will, but not editor). When I click "Edit" from the welcome screen, the welcome screen just disappears and nothing happens. I tried accessing the editor directly from the program files folder, and again, nothing happens . I tried right-clicking on photos and telling them to open in PSE. Nothing happens. No error messages or anything-- it just won't open.
It worked fine on my old computer in Windows 7, but I recently got a new computer with Windows 8. I tried running in compatibility mode for Windows 7, but that doesn't solve the problem. I also tried uninstalling and re-installing.
Please help me-- this is driving me nuts! Thanks.

Yes, but the odds are that you chose the logical file instead of the correct one. The actual editor is hidden away inside the support files folder for PSE 13 and the file at the top level of the Applications>PSE 13 folder is just an alias to the Welcome Screen. You really want this one:

Photoshop cs6 scratch disks/won't open ps.

Okay, so I got the 'scratch disks are full' message when I tried opening new projects. After googling, I read to just change the location to another hard drive instead of the main one, so I went into preferences, unchecked the C drive & checked the E drive. Now photoshop won't let me open it. I get this message:
"Could not open a scratch file because the fil eis locked, you do not have nexassary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file."
.... how do I do this, exactly?
also any help on clearing/sorting out my scratch disks would be appriciated, too.
Thanks!

Photoshop Elements 7-Organizer won't open

Photoshop Elements 7 was working fine, then I tried to download pictures to print using the Share feature. It froze. I rebooted, and since then have been unable to open the Organizer either from the welcome window or from within Edit or Share. From the Welcome Screen, it starts loading but gets hung up at "Initialize Plug-in."
I tried opening it going through c:\programfile\adobe\photoshopelements6.0\photoshopelementsorganizer.exe No luck with that either.
Is my only option to uninstall and reinstall the program?
And what happens to all my albums when I do reinstall? Do I lose all the albums that I had previously edited? (No, they are not backed up-thought they were, but discovered otherwise when I tried to retrieve them.
Thanks

You're still looking at the wrong folder. In the tech note:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408913.html
step 2 refers to the following folder for XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\[your user name]\Application Data\Adobe\Online Services
You substitute your user name for [your user name]. Your user name is the account name you use to log into Windows; e.g. I log into Windows with the user name "ellis", so the folder to navigate to would be:
C:\Documents and Settings\ellis\Application Data\Adobe\Online Services
Also, the note in step 2 says to make sure that you can view hidden files in Windows Explorer, but the link provided no longer works. Here's the correct link:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404856.html
Once you've completed step 2, proceed to step 3 to delete the indicated subfolder.

Photoshop Elements 7.0 won't open

I have Photoshop Element 7.0 on a PC. Until last week it was working fine but now it won't start at all.
Can anyone help please?
Regards
Tom

Hi,
If it doesnt work after applyign patch try the below solutions:
Solution 1:
1. Close Elements.
2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
Solution 4:
On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.
Now launch PSE and check if it works.

Photoshop Elements 8.0 won't open, keep getting an Error message from windows

I am running Windows Vista on a toshiba laptop and I've owned the software for a little over a year now, everything was working quite fine the usual few crashes every once and a while. Though I had thought to myself oh well here it's time for some new photoshop brushes and fonts. So I went to sites such as Dafont.com and Deviantart.com to get brushes and fonts. Installed them all and tired to open up photoshop Elements afterwards and I kept getting an error message as shown in the picture.
Any help would be appericated, Also added information that may help, Yes I have tired removing the brushes out of the folder and running the program, and yes I have tried removing the fonts I installed. Neither worked. I also have not Restarted my laptop computer since I had installed that brushes/fonts.
Thank you for looking/reading/answering!
Have a nice day. (:

? Photoshop Elements 8 Organizer won't open on Windows Vista ?

I installed Photoshop Elements 8 onto a Windows Vista computer and registered. The Organizer opened with broken thumbnails throughout and I could not update the thumbnails. Therefore, I closed the Organizer and opened it again, hoping it would clear up. Instead, the Organizer would not open at all, and I've not been able to open the Organizer since.
Despite several Support cases, Tech Support could not help. They said to uninstall Elements and reinstall it, but when I uninstalled, the disc software screen said I must first deactivate my serial # by launching Elements 8 and going to Help > Deactivate.
However, when I launched Elements 8, a screen appeared with a choice of either a free trial or to enter my serial #. I entered my serial # and got a red "X", and it would not accept the serial #. Tech Support said there is nothing wrong with my serial #.
Tech Support then said to download the Trial Version. I did that, but could not open the trial version either!
Message:
"Files in use. Some files that needed to be updated are currently in use."
"The following applications are using files that need tro be updated by this setup.
Close these applications and click Retry to continue.
Organizer - Photoshop Elements"
So it thinks my Organizer is open and using files, and it's not open. I can't get it to open!
I clicked RETRY and got the same message.
I clicked IGNORE and it was installing files, got almost to the end, said "registering product", then said "rolling back action" and started going backwards.
I had uninstalled my Elements 7 software because I intended to now use Elements 8. I decided to reinstall Elements 7 to use that while I was dinking around with version 8, and now it gave me the same message:
the serial # is in error, or is already in use by someone else!
Now I can't use either 7 or 8.
HELP! Does anyone know how to deactivate a serial # when the software has already been uninstalled? Can it be done?

Hi Ankush
Thank you for your reply!
Unfortunately, I can't try out your suggestion until next summer, because in early November I moved to my winter home in Florida. I left my Vista computer in Colorado Springs in its sorry state of nonworking Adobe Elements versions 7 and 8. I took the software discs with me.
When I arrived in Florida I bought a new computer. I had left Colorado without being able to deactivate the Elements 8 serial number, so would not be able to use that software disc in Florida. Therefore, I asked Adobe for a refund. (Some of the tech support cases regarding the problem were still open and unanswered.) Adobe replied that the month warrranty had run out so they wouldn't give me a refund. I argued a little, then gave up.
Therefore, I bought a new Elements 8 software program. And the old XP Florida computer contains Elements 7 and I have the disc.
The new problem: I must know how to DEACTIVATE a serial number before I dare install the new Elements 8 softtware, in case anything goes wrong, or in case I have to reinstall Windows 7 for some reason, which would wipe out any 3rd-party software. I also must know how to DEACTIVATE the Elements 7 serial number on my old XP computer so that I can install it on my new computer.
I opened a CHAT session with Adobe and asked how exactly to do this, because their FAQs and other information aren't at all clear. Here's what the tech said to do. Launch Adobe. You will see "Help" on the "toolbar". Click "help" and select "deactivate". Well, all I get when I launch is a Welcome Screen and there is no toolbar with help there. So I thought, maybe he means, open the Organizer or Editor and look for the Help menu. I opened the Organizer, clicked on Help, and there was no deactivate option listed. So I opened the Editor and clicked on Help and there was no deactivate option listed.
I just opened a case with Adobe asking what I have to do to deactivate a serial number. I don't see why they can't explain this.
Have you any idea how this is done?

Photoshop Elements 7 editor won't open

I have Photoshop Elements 7. The organizer, create and share tabs work fine but when I try to open any 3 of the editor modes I get the error message: Unable to continue because of a hardware or system error. Sorry, but this error is unrecoverable.
I tried restarting my computer because I heard that someone was able to fix a similar problem that way, but it didn't work. Any suggestions?

Hi,

1.. Close Elements.
2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
