Photoshop CC Launch Problems

I updated Photoshop yesterday and now it will not launch.

I have the same Problem.
I updated today from Version 14.1.2 to 14.2.
Yesterday all fine - today PS CC crash directly at startup. Only the Windows intern "Application Error" Screen comes up.
Looks like only the 64bit Version crash - the regular 32bit start up, but Function like Photomerge don´t work.
Any idea how to fix the 64bit Crash ?

  • Photoshop CS2 launch problem

    Most of the time I attempt to launch Photoshop CS2 it fails. I have to try 2 or 3 times before it's successful.
    I've put a new alias in my dock and still have the same problem. It's ok when I double click on the icon in the application folder.
    I've repaired permissions and disc and it still happens.
    There are some times when it works ok, but mostly it doesn't.
    If any suggestion is to re-install the application, do I just install over the old app or do I have to delete the old app before the new installation?
    Has anyone any advice as to what the problem could be?
    Thanks

    Hello Frank,
    Sometimes preference files can get corrptped and perhaps that is the issue with your Photoshop CS 2 software. Locate this file or one that looks similar: com.adobephotoshopcs2.plist
    /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Locate that file from the Preferences folder, drag it to the Desktop. Try to launch Photoshop. If it functions as it should, drag that bad .plist file to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. It's ok to delete a pref file as Photoshop will create a new clean one the next time you launch Photoshop. You will have to reset your Photoshop preferences, but that's one sure fire way to correct a bad pref file.
    If that doesn't help... same path... locate this file: com.apple.recentitems.plist Same routine... see if that helps.
    And, always, when applications are stubborn... run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions. Disk Utility is in your Applications/Utilities menu.

    Help ma boab did you migrate over your applications and settings from your old computer?  It does appear the installer was unable to create the Adobe Photoshop CS5 folder since your current User account did not have sufficient access to either modify they Applications or Adobe Photoshop CS5 folder if it already exists.
    If you migrated/copied any files or applications from your old computer then I would recommend running the uninstaller from the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  Once you have uninstalled please run the CC Cleaner Tool prior to reinstalling Photoshop CS5.  Please see Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html for information on how to use the CC Cleaner Tool.

  • Photoshop CS5 launches Help without asking

    Ocassionally PhotoShop will launch the Help applet without being asked.
    It generally seems to happen while playing with settings in the Blending Options / Layer Styles window, though I've had it happen very rarely when doing other things too.
    I can confirm that this bug goes right back to at least version 7 -- I've been experiencing it for years in various versions, and it was there in CS1 and CS2 (my last upgrade before CS5). I was pretty sure it would be fixed by now, but nope, it's still there in CS5 too.
    It seems more likely to happen when I've been working in PhotoShop for a long session and resources are low.
    I'm using PhotoShop CS5 Extended x64 on Windows 7 x64.
    Any solutions?

    Hi again. I played around with changing my scratch disks and allocating more memory to PhotoShop, but this problem never went away: Help still launches itself randomly. (And my other reported problem about keyboard focus being didn't improve either.)
    Is it worth reporting these as bugs? I reported some other stuff as bugs, but didn't hear anything back, not even a confirmation that they had been received.

  • Photoshop will launch, not open iPhoto

    I have set up iPhoto '08 so that when I click "edit in external editor", Photoshop (v8) will open. This sorta works, in that Photoshop will launch, but the photo does not open. Is there something I am doing wrong? I have tried everything I can think of to no avail.
    Thanks

    Can you open Photoshop from outside iPhoto and edit an image file that way? Not necessarily an image file inside iPhoto but any image file.
    FWIW here are some tips in using PS from within iPhoto. This may be preaching to the choir.
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • How do I stop Photoshop from launching when I turn on my MacBook Pro?

    I subscribe to Adobe CC. Every time I turn on my MacBook Pro, Photoshop CC launches. I want this to stop. When I right click on the Photoshop app > Options > Open at Login is NOT checked. And in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items >  Photoshop is not there. What can I do? I am sure it is a simple fix. Thanks!

    As I mentioned when I right click on the Photoshop app in the dock > Options > Open at Login is NOT checked. And in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items >  Photoshop is not there in the list. I do not have any utilities installed that automatically launch applications and I do not mess with scripts or even know how to.
    I tried calling Adobe's poor outsourced customer service and was told there was a 2-5 minute wait, but after waiting 22 minutes, I had to hang up.

  • DNG files will not open in photoshop when launched from lightroom

    This just started, I can't open DNG files in photoshop when launching from within lightroom.  Not sure how to fix this.  the dng files launch fine from bridge.

    As for your issue with DNGs in CS, did you bother to update ACR to version 2.4?
    See the detailed instructions on the download page.
    >What I need to know is whether or not my PS CS will work with files converted by Adobe DNG.
    Of course ACR will, if you correctly install Adobe Camera Raw 2.4.
    No version of Photoshop opens raw or DNG files, only ACR does, hosted by Photoshop. But you do need at least version 2.4 of ACR, which was the first to support DNGs.

  • PHOTOSHOP CS6 PLUGIN PROBLEM; I have PS CS6

    PHOTOSHOP CS6 PLUGIN PROBLEM; I have PS CS6 & a mac osx 10.7.5  I have downloaded the pluginhttps://sourceforge.net/projects/panotools/  I drag it to the applications folder  (applications/photoshop/plugins) and it shows up there, but it does not show up when I reopen photoshop, can anyone tell me if this is a valid plugin or what I am doing wrong?

    Thank you for the link, I don't see where the licensing is listed at all, I also don't see where it says it is for existing CS2 users only & the line install a special version that does not require activation -                                   
    doesn't scream it'd be a problem to load it especially since I already own a later version that I can't use the plugin on - …I don't find the site all that informative.  I appreciate all the answers & responses to my use of CS2 but I'd really just like to receive an answer to the original question of if the plugin works with it or not…if anyone has that answer I'd appreciate it.
    Is there a place I can purchase it?  I will gladly do so if I can get the plugin to work-that is my goal.

  • Sb x-fi xtreme audio console launcher problems on windows 7 32bit

    Asb x-fi xtreme audio console launcher problems on windows 7 32bit'sI recently installed windows 7, because I was tired from Windows XP, but unfortunately after installing all the drivers for my hardware I realized my 5. isn't working quite as expected.
    My first problem was, that the Crystalizer didn't work, after installing tons of different software, found on creative labs forums the crystalizer started working.
    Then I realized that the CMSS-3D wasn't (and still isn't working). How do I fix that ? I've tried numerous ways but nothing happens, while in windows XP everything worked fine after installing the drivers.
    I also miss some configuration options in the Creative Console Launcher, namely the check boxes:
    ?"Automatically enable headphone settings" and "Automatically mute speakers".
    Where the hell did they go?! I use them, I need them. How do I get them back? Is XP somehow privileged than 7? Isn't it supposed to be the opposite?
    I also can't change the speaker configuration - it's stays 5. whatever I do, and the drop-down menu with the choices is missing?! Auto-detect option doesn't work, and if it did worked - I don't need it.

    To : woj2322, You may need to download and install the Dell Notebook System Software version 5.0.5. This installs patch fixes to solve the PCI ExpressCard device not work correctly. This is only for the DELL Inspiron 520 Notebook (See Below). Microsoft patch fix info below also. Also, I see there's other people that are having the same issue, maybe you to need to download and install the patch fix for your notebook's on dell's website. It's called "Dell Notebook System Software" under "System Utilities"

  • Acrobat Launch Problems

    Acrobat 9 will no longer launch.  What can I do to correct this?

    Windows 7
    I don't know of anything that changed.
    I tried to open a document I had just downloaded and nothing happened at 
    all.  Same thing when I tried to open the program itself
    I decided to restart my computer, and after I did that, it is now working 
    again.
    It has done this on several occasions before and once I had to download 
    some sort of patch or update to get it going again.
    Thank you for the reply!
