Photoshop CC recovery never works

Hey everyone, I've been having this issue for a while, but I'm just now trying to figure out what the heck is going on. The problem is in the title, the recovery function never works in Photoshop CC for me, no matter what I do or what auto-save intervals I set it to. Last night I lost 4 hours of work because of a crash and nothing came up once again. I even tried looking in the folder where PS CC supposedly auto-saves and once again nothing was there. I was hoping maybe someone could shed some light on the matter of why it's not working?
I'm running PS CC on Windows 8.1
Any help at all would be much appreciated!

  • Photoshop Elements 12 installed on my PC has never worked.

    My Photoshop Elements 12, which I installed as an upgrade to Photoshop Elements 11 on my PC running under Windows 8.1 has never worked.  In cannot find a catalog. My Elements 11 worked fine under Windows 7 and still works fine after I upgraded to Windows 8.1.  I have spent hours on the phone with Adobe techs and have had my local PC professionals examine the PC.  They both concluded it is a bug in Windows 8 but if so I do not know to proceed.  Help would be most appreciated.

    did you see the confirmation?
    if yes, uninstall, run the cleaner and try reinstalling - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
    if no, google a youtube video on how to reset preferences.

  • Photoshop Recovery not working

    Hello, I need SERIOUS HELP!!! My photoshop autosave IS NOT WORKING. Last time it crashed, when I re-opened photoshop, the 'recovered-digital painting' DID NOT LOAD! I tried uninstalling the program than re-downloading it immidiately afterwards but that did not solve the issue.
    I know it did not solve the issue because when I created a test digital painting, waited 15 mins, than did more edits, waited another 5 mins than use taskmanager to shut down photoshop, than re-opened photoshop the test did not re-appear as 'test digital painting - recovered'.Autosave has been set to 5 minutes. Still does not work.
    I NEED HELP PLEASEEE IM BEGGING YOU!!!! WHAT CAN I DO!!!!

    When Photoshop CS6 and or CC is installed properly and  your user id Photoshop preference File handling has Automatically Save Recovery Information check
    there should be a user id Photoshop recovery folder for each version of Photoshop autorecovery is enabled for.  The location varies for OS versions and Photoshop installation configurations.  You user ID also needs to have write rights to these folders.  Locate them and make sure you can write to them. These folders are empty normally. On My Windows 7 systems  I see mine are:
    "C:\Users\John J McAssey\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC\AutoRecover" and
    "C:\Users\John J McAssey\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\AutoRecover"

    Thanks for the log info. We've seen instances of that "ntdll.dll" as the faulting module before, see if this Adobe document helps, even though it's for Acrobat:

  • Photoshop CS5 Bridge not working

    I have windows 7 and cannot get the Bridge from Photoshop CS5 to work this is a real problem as most of my photographs are taken in RAW and I can't see the picture in the folder
    I have tried most of the answers to this problem from the forum. Launching from start menu and through Program Files doesn't work. Not sure how to change from 64 bit to 32 bit in Windows 7
    Adobe if you read this why not solve a problem instead of just bringing out a new version and expecting us to purchase this?

    You need to give more details.  Why does it not work - error message, crash, freeze, never worked, worked yesterday?
    Does it work when launched as seperate program from Bridge icon?

  • Photoshop cc won't work. Crashes almost immediately.

    I have the student version of Creative Cloud. Adobe Illustrator works fine. After I bring a photo into Photoshop CC, as soon as I do anything to it , the program stops working and closes. I own Photoshop CS6, and have never had a problem like this.

    It crashes.I am using windows 7. The message says :Adobe Photoshop CC has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

  • Adobe photoshop elements 12 organizer works, but adobe photoshop elements 12 editor does not work--it thinks it is a trial version

    adobe photoshop elements 12 organizer works, but adobe photoshop elements 12 editor does not work--it thinks it is a trial version.HELP
    If I try to register 4 boxes circle endlessly.Why should I have to register editor separately from organizer?

    jaroFocb'15 wrote:
    This is almost the same as the problem I had. I'm my case the Editor installed but not the Organizer! Adobe chat told me they no longer have chat or any other services for Elements 12. I guess they want people to buy their new Elements 13, but that leaves us in a bad place and doesn't say much for how Adobe cares about their customers After it moves on to their next version. I posted a message like yours over a week ago, and only got one email from an Adobe staff person, asking me to answer a couple of clarifying questions, but he never followed up on my response, so my problem is still unresolved. If you are luckier and are given a solution please let me know what it is -- it might work for me too, and I'd be very grateful!  My email:  [email protected]  
    Good luck.
    Have you checked whether you have folder for PSE Organizer?  It is normally at this location in Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1:
    <C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer>
    If the folder is there then try double-clicking on the file called:  PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe
    If the folder isn't there at all then you need to re-install the package again using your original disks or from download from Adobe website.  <Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10>
    Hope this helps.

  • Edit in Photoshop CS6 doesn't work with Nikon D800E NEF files in LR 4.1 RC

    The "Edit in Photoshop CS6" menu item or shortcut (cmd+e) doesn't work for NEF files from a Nikon D800E in Lightroom 4.1 RC.  What happens is that LR looks like it goes through all its normal paces, and launches Photoshop, and the CPU spins, but then nothing happens in Photoshop, the image never opens.
    This works fine for NEF files from other cameras.

    Set up CS6 as an secondary editor, and then it will use LR's built-in ACR to process the files, instead of the external ACR with CS6. The external ACR 6.7 also processes D800, just not ACR 7 just yet.

  • Bridge updated unexpectedly, now Photoshop Tools don't work

    Hi, all;
    I have Web Premium CS 5.5, which I am quite happy with, but I also have a Cloud subscription so that I can use CS products on my laptop (my management decided it was easier to do that than dig up the physical media when my laptop was purchased).
    Recently, I needed InDesign (not part of Web Premium) and installed it from my Cloud subscription. Now, when I select Browse folder with Adobe Bridge, it brings up the CS6 version, not the CS5.5 version. I wouldn't mind much, but the PhotoShop tools menu item doesn't appear (this is about 50% of what I do with Bridge). I can manually open the CS 5.5 version, but of course this is not as convenient as the right-click option, plus the CS 5.5 version is no longer stable (it crashes a lot).
    How do I either get the PhotoShop Tools menu to work in Bridge? Alternatively, how can I get the right-click menu to point to my unstable version of 5.5? I can live with the instability if I can keep it open long enough to at least do what I need to do.
    Thanks;
    Amy

    if PhotoShop tools can't be made to work properly from Bridge CS6, launching CS 5.1 from the right-click menu would be an alternate fix that would be acceptable.
    Bridge works version specific, so CS6 is not easy to use with CS5.5 due to the start up scripts used for the menu Tools. Indesign, Illustrator and I believe also Premiere Pro are the other applications capable of working with Bridge and when only installing one of these apps from the Creative Cloud they also install Bridge CS6 form the Creative Cloud.
    All settings for some reason auto select the newest version, on a Mac for example the finder always used to set itself to the latest installed Photoshop version as default application to pen with, I recall this was hard to avoid, maybe it is still the issue.
    However you still have the CS5.5 installed that will offer the wished behavior.
    You could try to start Bridge CS5.5 manual and the restart Photoshop holding down shiftoptionCommand (Mac, don't know the Windows equivalent) to reset its preferences and force them to the open CS5.5.
    But personally I would not use the Browse in Bridge command in PS itself. I always have both Bridge and PS active and running from log in and never use the Browse in Bridge command.
    Using this command does need to open Bridge or auto switches to the latest version, Having Bridge already up and running saves time in caching and with a work space customized with a folder panel in view is much easier to navigate
    And of course, there is no objection to download also PSCS6 from the CC, I really don't agree with earlier versions being better. Only Bridge CS3 was a very bad version, yet it was in its way better then the first version of Bridge that appeared in CS2. CS3 had much more options but was very unstable (not unusable if you dumped the cache and prefs every few weeks).
    The difference between Bridge CS5.5 and CS6 is a different Cache structure. It claims to be again faster and more stable but some Windows users on this forum sadly enough can't confirm this due to slow criteria building.
    Personally I experience CS6 faster and better then CS5

  • IPhone 5 won't start or charge or turn on and was not dropped recently and the power button has never worked

    My iPhone 5 was not dropped recently however I went to use it and the screen was black, I plugged it in and nothing happened. When you call it it goes right to voicemail. The power button on it has never worked it always turns on when plugged in... Any ideas?

    Are you certain that the battery has not run out? Have you kept it plugged into a wall outlet for at least 30 minutes to see if it is just needing to be charged?
    If it does not come on after being plugged in for 30 minutes or so, then without a functional Power button you cannot reset it, so you are going to have to try to put it into Recovery mode and restore it:
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    You may not even be able to do this since you cannot proactively turn it off, but you can try.

  • Satellite A100-998: Brightness & DVD Hotkeys never worked from new

    My 2-year-old Satellite's screen brightness could easily be adjusted by the Fn + F6/F7 keys, but not this new one. Also, the keyboard Play/FF/Rewind keys for the DVD player don't function.
    The Toshiba Hotkey Utility shows as a 1.37 MB file on my add/remove programs list. Could a solution be to remove and re-install this program? If so, would my recovery disks, as supplied by Toshiba, allow me to re-install the Hotkey utility?
    Many thanks for all feedback.

    Hello
    Sorry but I can not believe that Brightness & DVD Hotkeys never worked from new. With factory settings all should work well.
    Before we start any discussion can you please check your notebook model? A100 is pretty new one and can not be 2 years old.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS4 has Stopped Working on Windows 7

    Hey guys and girls. I recently got a new computer running Windows 7 64bit. I still have good ol photoshop cs4 and wanted to use it on this new computer. The install process was completed and as I started the program, I get the "Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working" box. I've looked through some forums, and a lot of them mention the wacom tablet issue, which is not the issue since I've yet to install the drivers for my tablet. Has anyone come across this problem at all? This is what shows up when I get that error box.

    Please help, thanks in advance

    The first thing that I would do is insure that you have the latest video driver installed (but do keep any older ones, just in case you must roll-back - newest is not always the best).
    If that does not help, then open Even Viewer, and check for all warning, or error messages in System and Application tabs, for the time that PS crashed. If you find any with links, follow those links - be patient, as some might take a few moments to send data to MS, and then for MS to process it, to open the proper page for that link plus the data gathered. This ARTICLE goes into a bit more detail, and I do not think that it is too Adobe Premiere-centric.
    Good luck,

  • Photoshop CS5 has stopped working and shuts down

    I purchased Photoshop CS5 in March 2011 and after trying to install software I was unable to do anything in Photoshop without getting the following error message:  "Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working".  A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.  I was unable to open any psd file or new file withouth that error message.  After you close that error message window, Photoshop immediately closes down. I had someone from Adobe remotely fix this problem.  Now it is appearing again and I am unable to use the program.  I need help with this.  Please.

    why is my adobe photoshop elements 12 not working. it says initializing then error and shuts itself down.

    Three things you can try:
    1. Clean the superdrive with a proprietory CD/DVD lens cleaner that uses tiny brushes.
    2. Perform an SMC reset:
