Photoshop CC not saving preferences

Hi,
i am on OSX 10.9 and my Photoshop CC is not working properly: everytime i close the application (not forced quit!) it is not remembering any settings. Neither my workspaces nor any preferences i did manually. It always goes back to the default view on every time is start up Photoshop. It saves my workspaces in the Preferences folder physically but they seem to lack of any information.
I already took a look on the user rights of the Preferences folder and its fine.
I also reinstalled Photoshop and the most awkward thing is, that i also did a complete clean reinstall of my system. Still the same problem, which is really annoying.
Regards
Ben

Same problem here. No answer from Adobe except "try restarting"

How do I prevent Lightroom from creating duplicates if the edit in photoshop is not saved?

Hello!
How do I prevent Lightroom from creating duplicates if the edit in photoshop is not saved?
So... Quite often I choose to 'Edit in photoshop' from Lightroom but then end up not saving the result. (for example, because I just wanted to experiment with the photo, or I'm not satisfied with the results)
However, Lightroom always creates a copy of the original photo, which stays in the catalog even if the photoshop changes aren't saved.
Is there a way to stop this, and only add a photo if it has been edited in PS?

THANK YOU!

Select 'Open the Image in PS as a Smart Object'. The image will be rendered by ACR in memory without being written to disc until you save it from within PS.

Lion not saving preferences

I just switched to a new retina macbook, with os 10.7. I'm having trouble with Linotype Font Explorer X not retaining its settings - previously, you could turn a font on & it would stay on. Although sometimes it does retain some of the font settings, but not all.
I've also noticed other programs occasionally not saving preferences.
Is this a known issue with Lion?

Make sure the systemprefs plist file is not locked. If it is, unlock it. If it isn't, delete it then restart.
To find the file
1. Make Finder active. Choose 'Go' from the menu bar, hold down the option key.
2. Choose Library (you must have the 'option' key held down).
3. Go to Preferences > com.apple.systemprefereces.plist
4. Right-click (or hit 'cmd-i' on the keyboard) and choose 'Get Info'. If the 'Locked' option is ticked, untick it. Then Restart. If the 'Locked' option is not ticked, close the dialogue, remove the file to trash. Restart.
5. What happens now is that system will restart at default system prefs. However, it should now save your new settings. To test it, just set one of the setting that you know didn't 'stick before', then restart and see if all is good.

Photoshop not saving preferences

I am having an issue with Photoshop not saving my preferences. I have created my own workspace but everytime I quit the application and restart it I still have to go through and reset all my preferences. Any thoughts on this?

I believe that would be the date that our tech team installed CS5 on my new computer. As a side note, our tech team consists of all PC people, there isn't one Mac expert among them and they didn't seem too confident setting the user accounts up. The entire team has had nothing but issues with our brand new macs + CS5. But I am not sure what part of that is Apple/Adobe/Tech fault.
When I "get info" on the settings folder my user account does not appear in the list. I changed the settings so that everyone has read & write permissions and that solved the problem. But that seems odd to me. Like I might have a much bigger permissions issue...?
Anyway, problem solved! Thanks Chris!

Photoshop edits not saved in iPhoto

I've set up Photoshop CS4 as my external editor in iPhoto, and this has been working well for quite a while. I usually edit in Photoshop and save over the original (both jpeg files) in iPhoto. However, today I noticed that my edited work was not showing up in the gallery view (i.e. even after saving over, the original version of the photo was shown in my gallery). On close-up I can view the edited photo, but once I edit another photo the previous photo I edited reverts to its original form. I've tried repairing the library and permissions by pressing option + command on startup, but the problem still remains. None of my edited work is saved once I close and reopen iPhoto. Please help! :-(

You are saving as a jpg (if the original file is a jpg), right? Check this workflow and see if you're doing anything significantly different than what's described. Screenshots are from Photoshop CS3 but should be similar to later versions.
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts 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..
With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Screenshots are from PSE 10
Note 1: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
Note 2: editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.

Yosemite Mail mail not saving preferences

OS X 10.10, Mail 8.0
I have several mail accounts set up, a mix of POP and IMAP
One IMAP account does not use secure authentication.
If I set the preferences for the account under the Advanced tab, and tick 'Allow insecure authentication', then save preferences, I can send mail to the account.
However if I return to Mail after 5 minutes or so the preference has changed back to disallow insecure authentication, and that mail account no loner works. I get a message:
"Mail cannot send your password securely to the server. You can remove this restriction in the Accounts preferences by setting “Allow insecure authentication”, which could put your password at risk."
I have a POP account for a different email address with the same provider, and the preference to allow insecure authentication is saved.
I have tried deleting the account and setting it ip again, but the IMAP presence to use insecure authentication is still not saved.

I have this issue as well. This includes the inability of font preferences to stick, and the toolbar changes to be retained.

Photoshop changes not saving in Aperture

Greetings,
I'm having a frequent but inconsistent problem that when I open images in Photoshop. After saving the changes and closing the PS file, the copy is still there in Aperture but it remains a copy of the original, it does not record any changes made in PS. When I quit out of Aperture and restart, I get the stacked images thumbnail but with only one image in it, and only marked as one image in the corner (whereas it said two and there were two images in it before quitting Aperture).
any ideas?

Hmm! hadn't done that yet (this happens both ins PS CS3 & CS4 by the way, saved as either 8 or 16 bit TIFFs) and maybe this is a piece of the puzzle--went to show package contents and found the original files, including all the copies, which were each given individual folders with successive numbers. For example, the original files is "Bottega_432" and can be found in its folder names as such. Each PS saved version was given its own folder with the same name but numbered successively in brackets after the folder name. Should these be going into the same folder and are not for some reason? The images themselves seem to be fine. I'm guessing it has something to do with Aperture not seeing the new folder it created for the new version? directories? this is beyond me.

Photoshop CS6 not saving

I am using Windows 7 with an i7 core and 18gb of RAM. I recently purchased a CC subscription.
In Photoshop CS6 I have noticed that at times after having saved a .psd file, after I come back to it later the changes are gone. At first I thought perhaps I fogot to save, but last night I saved several photos I had been restoring and was careful I did save them. This morning once again the changes on one of the photos were not saved, they had reverted to the original file before the restoration was done.
Has anyone else noticed this problem? What could be causing it?

Well, they never save properly on the operating system level or something on your system is restoring older versions of files. There's literally a gigazillion potential causes like PS's own recovery mode restoring files, because the app crashes on exit, Windows' system restore, backup tools, virus scanners interferring in the safe process, permissions issues preventing file writes or even genuine hardware issues with your harddrive and its controller. Impossible to know. Definitely not a general PS fault. If at all, I might imagine something being awry with history states, but that would still be fixable by simply picking the correct state on the saved file...

JDeveloper 11g Not saving preferences

Hi.
I'm not beeing able to save my IDE preferences. For example, by default the option Line Gutter - Show Line Numbers, is not checked. If I check this option, and click ok, when I open the preferences again, the option is not checked.
This is happening for any option I change, another example is the option JSP and HTML Visual Editor - Show design time messages in log. I cannot set this property.
Any idea on how to fix this ?
Thanks a lot,
Sincerely,
John

I think I've solved the problem.
I started JDev, in console mode (using jdev.exe).
When I clicked ok in the preferences dialog, I got the following stackTrace:

This led me to think that my proxy configuration was wrong. Went to the proxy configuration option, and I noticed that "Proxy server requires authentication" was checked, but my user and password were null. I filled these fields and clicked test Proxy. Got the same stackTrace, and after clicking ok, returning to the prferences dialog box, the user and password was not saved. What I did was, wen to the Check for updates under the help menu, and when it tried to connect, it couldn't because there were no user and password information saved. It showed me a dialog to put the user and password. After I've filled these fields, it did connect to Oracle update site. Closed that window, and went back to the preferences dialog. Then the user and password were saved correctly. Clicking on the test Proxy button, did not give me any stackTrace. Tried to change the Line Gutter setting, clicked ok, and the re-opened the preferences dailog. The properties was saved correctly.
Thanks for all the help.

Photoshop prefs not saving

Numerous issues since trying out some of the CC 2014 offerings including
Unable to update any apps in the Mac OS desktop app since first updating Premiere and After Effects. Premiere updates and load After Effect 2014 won't open
Seems related to preferences and permissions. Message from Photoshop 2014 on close:
Could not save Preferences because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to ensure the file is unlocked and you have permission to access the file. If the problem persists, save the document to a different file or duplicate it in the Finder.
Trying to find those preference files without any luck. Hidden files?

Photoshop elements not saving edits/captions

I am perplexed how to get my photoshop elements 4 to save my photo edits and captions. It has worked well for many years but something happened a couple of months ago and now it is not saving either my photo editing or captions in organizer...HELP!

DJ, My computer is windows 8, below are the system requirements for PSE12 - looks like it will run in 64-bit. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
No, you have seriously misunderstood what I said. PSE will not run as a 64 bit application under Windows. Even though you have a 64 bit version of Windows, PSE will NOT run as a 64 bit application under Windows. It will run as a 32 bit application under Windows 64bit, giving it a maximum of approx 3 GB of memory to work with. I don't know if that will make your problems go away or not. Please download the 30-day free trial of PSE 12 and see if your problems go away or not before you make a purchase.
From the system requirements
all other applications run native on 32-bit operating systems and in 32-bit compatibility mode on 64-bit operating systems

Photoshop CC Not saving properly

Ok, I have tested this with a few different computers that all have the latest update of Photoshop CC and they all do it... When you have a photo open and you go to Save As, if you hit enter (which should save it), the dialog box drops you into a subfolder if you have subfolders, and then hitting enter again saves it in the subfolder, which if you dont catch this, could lead to files being saved where it's not supposed to be saved to. You have to physically click "save". please help fix this bug.

What operating system are you using?
It's not working the way you describe for me on Windows 8.1. When I choose File - Save (or Save As), then just hit Enter, the file saves in the folder that was selected by default.

Photoshop EPS not saving vector data?

I have a Photoshop CS3 file with 2 layers that use vector masks. I saved the file as an .eps and checked "Include Vector Data." I placed the .eps in an InDesign document. On screen everything looks fine, but if I print to PDF the vector mask layers are missing; likewise if I open/rasterize the .eps file in Photoshop the vector mask layers are gone. It prints fine if I place the original .psd file in the InDesign doc. Any ideas why .eps doesn't appear to save the vector data? Thanks...

I understand that eps doesn't support layers, and that vector data will be rasterized if I open the eps in photoshop. That's not the issue; the issue is the vector layer data is being *discarded* and is not making it through the workflow: eps placed into an InDesign document and distilled to PDF.
Update: I merged all layers in the psd file except for 1 vector layer & saved as an eps. When I reopened the eps in photoshop, it tells me it's rasterizing eps data, but when the file opens the imagery from the vector layer is missing. Likewise, if I place the eps in InDesign and distill a pdf, the imagery from the vector layer is missing, even though it appears in the onscreen preview in InDesign. Maybe something is screwy with that mask?

Not Saving Preferences

When I open Bridge in the mornings I have to set my preferences and the settings stay all day. But if I have to close Bridge or when I open Bridge the next day the preferences all not set to the way I set them the day before. What do I need to do or look at to get the preferences to stay?
I know questions about preferences have been asked before but when I do a forum search for things about preferences it comes up no results. It comes up no results no matter what I type. Don't know if this is on our end or not.
Thanks...

You either need to disable:start Bridge at Login" (adv. preferences) or close Bridge with the Exit - clicking the X is not the same.
Personally I do not like Bridge to run in the background as it can cause other problem, downloads, external drive recognition for a few seconds it take to load it manually.
