Photoshop CC stuck on startup.

Every time I try to start it it freezes. I think it's stuck on a the "do you want to send info to Adobe" dialog box but I can't be sure because usually the dialog box doesn't load. I have no idea what to do and it's been two days.

There's what it looks like after being open all night. Also after I uninstalled and reinstalled it. Very frustrating!

  • Photoshop CC crashes on startup - Win7 (64bit)

    Photoshop CC crashes on startup. I've tried reinstalling, rebooting, logging out of the cloud and back in again with no luck. I often recieve a notification stating to complete my user registration. When I do so I get a message from the adobe site saying Photoshop CS5 benefits are no longer avaliable (not sure why).
    Also on startup, adobe updater.exe crashes. I download it again and tried reinstalling. It still crashes (could the be causing the Ps CC problem?). Any help would be appreiciated.

    I've tried contacting NVidia, followed there instructions and they've now told me to try to contact Adobe again (see below). 
    With the new drivers Photoshop will now stay open long enough for me to access a menu. The menu will also stay open indeffinetly but Ps CC will close immediatly afterwards. I was able to see that Photoshop was not using my Adobe ID. Not sure if this is any help.

  • Photoshop CS6 Stuck on Hand Tool in ACR & PS with Mac/ Mountain Lion

    Photoshop CS6 gets stuck in "hand mode" after being open for a few hours. Suddenly, I can't use liquefy because Photoshop gets stuck in hand mode. I can't use ACR to the full potential because I can't use the adjustment brush because all I have is the hand tool. I try to open files, but all I get is the hand tool!
    I know it's not an issue of pressing the space bar, I have tried that. I have closed all the Adobe programs (Bridge, Lightroom, Photoshop), then re-opened Photoshop and it does not go away.
    It only goes away after re-starting the computer, but that is not acceptable.
    I am on a 17" Macbook Pro, Mountain Lion 10.8.1, using CS6 products.
    Can this please be fixed?

    Maybe a corrupt PS cache. Can you try clearing & re-creating your preferences? Follow instructions here: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/preference-file-functions-names-locations.html

  • Photoshop CS4 Crash on startup  msvcr80.dll blamed as culprit

    I have installed entire CS4 premium on a new workstation. Used Uberinstaller All applications  seem to work fine, except for  Photoshop which crashes on startup, while the blue splash screen is visible and it is running through it's list of things it is loading.
    This only happens with a user level ( that is non-admin ) account, works perfectly with an admin account, or if I give the user level account elevated privileges.
    Tried setting permissions on ..\Program Files\Adobe  to change, all users, however it still fails.
    WinXP Pro, SP3, Dell Optiplex 780  3G Ram , 100G SATA HDD partition.
    Thx
    TimeTraveller

    Monitor the splash screen and tell us at which point it is exactly crashing. This might be just one specific plug-in/ extension, not the program itself. also monitor the process with Sysinternals' Process Explorer. Might be just some silly registry key it cannot access as well.

  • Photoshop Elements opening on startup, despite having shut it down prior to closure.

    I am running Elements 13 on a MacBook Air O SX Yosemite version 10.10.
    After installation I encountered the following issues.
    1)       Elements 13 Organiser application opened ok and transferred my photos from iPhoto.
    2)       Elements 13 Application opened o.k
    3)       Elements 13 Editor opened o.k
    But latterly, when opening Elements 13 application after 1 second, the screen reverts to another copy of Elements 13 Organiser.
    I have attempted to check the Installed files, to check if they are in the right location, cannot see any apparent issues.
    Additionally on Start-UP  Elements 13 starts automatically despite having quit the programme prior to closure.
    Maybe if I completely re-installed Elements 13 the problems might go away.
    Your earliest response would be much appreciated.     
    Kind Regards     David A Hullin

    Barbara Hi!
    Thanks for your quick response.
    Sorry for the confusion regarding 2 Copies of Elements 13 Organiser.
    What I intended to say is as follows:
    On my Dock, after installing Elements 13, there are three adjacent Buttons for the Elements 13 Application from left to right:-
    1  Elements 13 Organiser
    2  Elements 13
    3  Elements 13 Editor
    MY ISSUES ARE:
    1  Elements Organiser  opens o.k.
    HOWEVER:
    2 Elements 13      (To import work from the Elements Organiser),  the following happens:
    This section of the application opens only briefly, (1.5 seconds,  headed appropriately  Elements 1  (But immediately reverts to a repeat copy of the Elements Organiser screen) which is activated by Button 1
    Button 3 Elements 13 Editor (opens) O.K.
    P.S   Initially the application was working O.K
    Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Kind Regards

  • Photoshop launches automatically at startup

    Suddenly Photoshop launches automatically at startup. Probably a consequence of running the vacuum cleaner brush over the keyboard live! How can I control this option? I have found nothing related in the startup items folder.
    Thanks!

    Nothing in System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items to do with Photoshop? That's normally the only way things start automatically.

  • Photoshop CS4 Stuck in paintbrush

    Photoshop is stuck in the paint brush, when I attempt to change it to the move or selection tool, it just stays in the paintbrush. I've uninstalled and reinstalled twice. I've deleted all the preferences I can find, to no avail.
    At this point Photoshop is completely useless to me, any help is greatly appreciated.

    We're having almost the same exact problem. All tools will stop working and we will be locked into the hand/move tool, I can use the keyboard to select a different tool and the tool pallet will show that I now have a different tool selected but my cursor will still display only the hand icon. This happens with two different machines and two different versions of PS.
    1st machine: MacPro Dual Quad, OS 10.6.3 CS5
    2nd machine: G5 Dual 2.5, 10.5.8 CS4

  • Yosemite stuck at startup

    I Have a MacBook pro with Yosemite installed and Windows 8.1 via Bootcamp. Couple of hours back I had used Windows and then now when I tried booting to Mac it's stuck on startup. Basically I see the loading bar go approximately 40% and then the display dims with a loading circle showing up below the bar. This circle keeps rotating for sometime and finally just stops. Leaving it idle for 15 mins causes the display to dim to go off until I tap space bar. I tried resetting PRAM and also checked disk and repaired the disk using disk utility but still no luck. Attaching screenshot of the screen

    Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    To restart an unresponsive computer, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly.
    Step 1
    The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
    a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
    b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
    c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
    Step 2
    If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
    Step 3
    Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
    Step 4
    If a desktop Mac hangs at a plain gray screen with a movable cursor, the keyboard may not be recognized. Press and hold the button on the side of an Apple wireless keyboard to make it discoverable. If need be, replace or recharge the batteries. If you're using a USB keyboard connected to a hub, connect it to a built-in port.
    Step 5
    If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
    Step 6
    Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
    Step 7
    If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
    Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
    If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
    If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
    Step 8
    Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
    This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
    Step 9
    If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.  
    Step 10
    Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    Step 11
    Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
    Step 12
    This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
    Step 13
    If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

  • HP Pavilion dv6 7039tx Notebook-It was working fine and then it suddenly got stuck during startup.

    I own a HP Pavilion dv6 7039tx Notebook.  The OS is Win 7 64bit. I made 4 partitions after formatting the 1TB HDD as the C drive would not reduce to the  40GB size I wanted through disk management.
    It was working fine till now and then it suddenly got stuck during startup.
    I talked to customer support and they said it was a OS problem and I should order a set of 6 Recovery DVDs. i want to know if using the HP recovery disk
    1) Has an option to repair the system and leaves the disk partition unchanged?
    2) It resets the notebook to factory condition?
    3) There is an option of recovery disk which I should specifically ask for?
    Thanks!!

  • Satellite L655 Stuck in Startup Repair mode

    My laptop is stuck in Startup Repair mode. A blue bar has been crossing the screen for over 24-hours with a dialogue that says, "Repairing disk errors. This might take over an hour to complete." If I try to cancel, I get a pop-up message that says, "The current repair operation cannot be cancelled."  Shutting down using the buttom and restarting takes me back to the same screen. Shutting down, and using F-8 takes me to the same screen. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to escapte from this "loop"?

  • In BootCamp Stuck in Startup Repair.

    Hello I've Been using Bootcamp to play my windows games and becasue of its automatic update It turned off and i tryied to boot into it and now it's Stuck in Startup Repair and Now its Looping. Can anyone please help me get out of its annoying loop so i can play with my friends.
    Thank you on whoever Helps.

    Backups are always handy.
    You tried booting from the Windows 7 DVD and that too isn't helping?
    F8 Safe Mode can sometimes work and get you through.
    If checkpoints were being made, which is automatic default, you might but some driver updates and others can be trouble.
    If you can run chkdsk that is also sometimes able.
    If you are low on disk space...?
    Paragon Software CampTuneX $19 can redistribute space and check and see if it does more, like make an image.
    WinClone 4.x $29 is Mac utility to make a disk image of Windows (be sure to have non-system drive to use to store it on) and while slow and can fail on restore sometimes does have its uses.
    But try with Windows DVD -- and be prepared to reinstall. Windows 8 has improved the ability to refresh the OS and leave files intact, and added a better File History that is automatic once setup to make backups (but not a system image) and works similarly to TimeMachine in some respect.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT201262 Blue/Gray Screen Stuck on Startup: Best Actions In Safe Boot?

    My husband took his MacBook Pro into the Apple store for this problem a few weeks ago, but the blue/gray screen stuck on startup is back.
    We stabilized the system last time from running diagnostic utilities (Apple, Onyx) in safe mode. Is there anything else we should be doing for self help? He's upgraded to Mountain Lion and made all OS updates. Advice is welcome.

    See OS X Mountain Lion- If you see a blue screen at startup. I suggest the last recommendation - reinstall OS X:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
