Photoshop CC won't initialize

I've called Adobe about this issue and not understanding the tech the only thing I got out of the call was to establish another user profile on my new iMac.  I did this and can run Photoshop CC under the other user but this is terribly inconvenient.  I'm not a comupter genius but why will it work under another user but not under my original user profile.  It used to work under this origianl one.  All the other Adobe programs work just fine.
I'm not satisfied with this "fix" but Adobe is only interested in closing out my case even though I've told them the problem isn't fixed.  I've seen that many other people are having the same issue and it seems that Adobe  has a definite problem that they aren't interested in fixing.
I've noticed they haven't quit charging my charge card each month for Photoshop CC.

I don't do Macs, but have had vaguely similar problems when some apps had different language settings.  Sounds odd, but one was English North American, and the other English International.
I don't like the sound of using a different profile.  That sounds like two seperate accounts, which you know will go pear shapped sooner or later.  Go through the profile carefully looking for anomolies.

  • Photoshop cs6 won't allow me to highlight my existing text layers. Does anyone have experience with this problem?

    Photoshop cs6 won't allow me to highlight my existing text layers. I select the text tool and the text layer I want to edit, hover over text and each time I attempto to edit a new layer is created. Does anyone have experience with this problem?

    Be sure you go to Adobe's Web Site and make sure there are no Updates for CS6
    http://www.adobe.com
    Remember if you have trouble with a software issue it is the software and not caused by the Mac you are using
    Many users simply don't remember when you upgrade software you normally have to go to 3rd party web sites and update software as well.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS5 won't launch after Mac update

    I updated my mac yesterday to Maverick and now Adobe Photoshop CS5 won't launch.  Can you tell me what files I need to delete to get it to launch.  I tried reinstalling it, and that didn't help.
    thanks

    It's very strange.  When I try to double click on the program to open it,
    it's like I'm doing nothing.  it sort of blinks like it's going to open but
    does nothing.  That's the way it is if I control click and try to open too.
    I did try to reboot.  Is there something I could delete in the Library
    file or something?
    thanks

  • Photoshop CS5 won't open .kmz files

    Photoshop CS5 won't open .kmz files. I did a fresh install of Google Earth, opened it, saved a place, and saved a .kmz file. It reopens fine in Google Earth.
    When I try to open it in Photoshop, this message pops up:
    File Format Error
    This file is from a previous version of Google Earth or it is not a Google Earth file
    I get this message regardless of the following:
    - ps is closed and i right click the kmz and choose ps (rather than google earth) to open it
    - ps is open and i double click the kmz
    - ps is open and i choose file/open and select the kmz
    - ps is open and i have created and saved a new psd file, then choose 3D/New Layer from 3D File/ and select the kmz
    I have tried the usual remedies, change rwx permissions, repair permissions, delete prefs. No luck.
    Any thoughts? Software versions are below.
    Thanks.
    - Photoshop CS5 Extended 12.0.4 x64 (doesn't work in x32 either)
    - Google Earth 6.0.3.2197
    - OS 10.6.8

    I was trying to see (since Photoshop Extended touts the ability to open kmz files) if I could open a 3D Google Earth file and edit it in Photoshop. A file like this for instance http://ecotope.org/anthromes/maps/. After more research I've learned that kmz is nothing more that a container format - you can change the extension to zip and see what's in it.
    I ran across this tidbit in the Photoshop CS3 Extended forum:
    Photoshop CS3 Extended supports the ability to import .kmz files created from Google Earth 4 or exported from Sketch-up in the Google Earth 4 format. Photoshop CS3 Extended cannot open Google Earth files. If you have a Google Earth file, you can convert it to a Google Earth 4 format with the free version of Sketch-up.
    So, theoretically if I could get a kmz into Google Earth 4 format, I could open it in Photoshop. But I haven't had any success importing a kmz or kml into SketchUp. Even just making a native sketchup file and trying to import that in psd gives a ram error.
    Probably I'm wishing for the moon.

  • Why applet won't initialize

    I had the following applet running but I changed some of the code around
    . Now that I deleted whatever I was working on, the applet won't initialize. Where is the problem in the code:
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.Graphics;
    public class ClassAverageApplet extends JApplet

    Hi mdiamond1,
    Your code worked for me on a Windows 98 machine with Micro$oft Internet Explorer 6 with the java plug-in version 1.4.1_01.
    Perhaps you can supply some more details about your environment and the exact error message and stack trace you are getting?
    Cheers,

    My computer crashed.  I bought a new Mac Book Air, but my Photoshop CS4 won't download.  It keeps wanting a serial number from my last product.  I put it in, but it isn't taken.  I am frustrated and furious!  What can I do?

    Bateman777 I reviewed your account and it appears the full version Photoshop software title you purchased was Photoshop CS3.  As Kglad suggested please make sure to utilize your previous full version serial number.  You can find details on how to locate your registered serial numbers at Find your serial number quickly.
