Photoshop CC won't quit

I've been having this issue for many months now. I'm finally over waiting for a self fix. When i quit the app, it re-opens itself. I'll quit it several times before i finally have to force quit the app. That usually does it. But even then, sometimes it re-opens itself. Can anyone explain why and how to fix this? It's extremely annoying. Especially when i'm in a hurry and have to battle Photoshop not wanting to quit. It's funny because all i find on similar issues is PS quitting by itself. But i'm having the exact opposite issue.
Thank you to any and all that chime in and hopefully help resolve this issue/bug/annoyance. \m/

Turn off Monotype Skyfonts and contact Monotype for an update to fix the bugs.

Photoshop CC won't launch

I have a weird problem. I have been using Photoshop CC 64 bit quite happily for the past few weeks. This morning I used it OK, but later when I clicked on Photoshop - nothing at all happens. No error message, no launch - nothing! The same when I went to launch the 32 but version.
Yet my old Photoshop CS 5.1 still works OK, as does Lightroom CC and Bridge CC.
I run a Windows 7 PC. Everything on board is legit and licensed. I have tried restarting, and right clicking (open as administrator) and even going into Program Files and double-clicking on the Photoshop.exe file - nothing at all.
It worked fine a few hours ago, and I have not (knowingly) made any changes. Does anyone have any suggestions as I am at a complete loss. I am no computer novice, but I've never seen any program do this before.
Help!

Thanks for your suggestion. I had previously registered and activated the product and had been using it for about two weeks.
About two minutes before your message, I managed to 'fix' the situation, but I still don't really understand what happened. After running virus scans, restarting the PC twice and signing in and out of creative cloud, I went in to Windows task manager and ended every Adobe Service, including one where the service name was meaningless, but the description said something like Adobe Product Manager. When I tried to restart Photoshop, it came up with a new screen welcoming me to CC (not the usual CC window) and asking me to create or sign in with my Adobe sign-in.
When I did, it said "This product is now registered to (my name)". Even though it already was, and showed up in my CC Account. From that point on, PS CC stared up OK (so far).
So even though the product had been activated, and showed as being one of my CC products online, somehow, something on my computer had changed and decided that it wasn't. Hopefully this won't happen again, but if it does I know that one thing I can try is to manually stop ever Adobe Service and restart.
Thanks for the suggestion. MAybe my experience might help someone else?

Adobe App's won't quit.

Suddenly all of my Adobe app's, (Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat), refuse to Quit.
When I choose Quit, they all just hang indefinately, so then I have to 'Force Quit', which works but I then I get that dialogue box asking if I want to report the problem to Adobe. Anyone else getting this? and is there a fix?
Mac G5, OSX 10.5.8, Adobe CS4 Suite.
Thanks.

This has been happening for years
Adobe applications take minutes to quit, refuse to quit, on "Force Quit" they will become inaccessible but they won't show as inactive. Meaning you can't access them, but they still show in the dock as though they are launched and you have to restart to be able to launch them again.
The worst are Adobe Acrobat and InDesign followed by Photoshop, Illustrator some and Bridge is typically pretty good. It's a much more common complaint than you see on the boards here. It has been and is ongoing. I have encountered it on various Mac platforms and with various versions of CS.
Adobe will claim it is a system error or an install error, etc. . . The problem is that it is ONLY Adobe applications that I have every encountered this with. And it is always the SAME Adobe applications. I do find that it is even worse when the computer is connected to a server.
I am a huge fan of all of the Adobe products, but this is and has been a problem in the applications and I never see any discussion from Adobe about actually trying to figure it out. Russell Goodman -above- is correct it has been going on for years.
Get it fixed.

I use a windows 7 pro and have no problem like that from bridge cc when I select a thumbnail then use menu Tools>Photoshop>Image Processor.. I see Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 start up then I see the Image processor dialog and that one file is selected in the bridge I the complete the dialog and click run. The image files are created. Photoshop remains open after the image files are create with no open documents. I need to click on the bridge in the task bar to bring bridge back into focus.
What does you system configuration?

I've tried to troubleshoot downloading Firefox but it won't open on Windows XP. The Firefox Update box with the hour glass symbol runs for hours. Then I have trouble even shutting down. When I click on Firefox, no window, program won't quit, etc....

Windows XP. I used to use Firefox and it worked okay. I'm not sure why I downloaded a new version but it won't open. The window that says "Firefox Update" continues to try to load. Hour glass symbol, for hours. If I try to click on the Desktop symbol, Nothing. Then when I try to shut down, it's slow, programs won't quit, or it freezes. I've removed Firefox completely and tried downloading again with the same results. Even with the latest version. Shit. Whassup?

Hi zenithtwc, to test whether this is a settings issue, could you do a three-minute experiment?
'''Create a new Firefox profile'''
A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
firefox.exe -P
''Don't delete anything here.'' Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
Click the Create Profile button, assign a name like Test731, and skip the option to change the folder location. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
Can it reach the internet?
When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.

I have photoshop 6 on a dead pc laptop with windows XP. Have a pc laptop that has been upgraded from Vista 64 bit (where phootshop 6 wouldn't install) to windows 7 professional 32 bit (clean install). Photoshop still won't install. Also having reinstallation issues with pse6 on this same pc. Pse6 was installed and working on vista 64bit version of the OS, now won't install on rebuilt windows professional 7 32bit (keeps giving me serial number not valid errors). I'm not trying to pirate these programs. Just want to reinstall them.

you need,
Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 4, 5, or 6a, or Windows Millennium
Microsoft Windows 98/Millennium/2000/NT 4.0 (Service Pack 4, 5, or 6a required)

IPhoto 09 Faces wheel spins forever and/or won't quit

Hope someone has insight or it helps others...
For the last several days any import into iPhoto will set it into spinning the Faces album waiting wheel forever. There is no way to Quit. Other times just simple quitting won't work.
Activity shows 40-50% iPhoto CPU usage, lots of context switches (270,000 in 5 minutes of CPU time) but no hangs, no faults. I have previously let it run overnight, in case it was somehow reanalyzing 18000 images, but even then the problem remains.
Console shows: 10/12/09 3:55:58 PM iPhoto[653] * -[NSPathStore2 getCharacters:range:]: index (8) beyond bounds (3)
as most recent item from iPhoto in the log.
Looking inside the iPhoto Library folder the face.db database, iPhotoMain.db etc. have no activity going on. ( I tested by changing the face info on one picture, the Finder last modified date immediately changed, showing the processes are running fine, but just some runaway process won't quit.)
Another console item showed iPhoto finding wrong architectured PGP plugin in contextual menu items, so I have trashed that. And, it finds a Chronos Notes related issue (contextual menu item in library and same named alias in user/library) throw an exception. I also informed ChronosNet.com of this....in case the recent iPhoto acting up is related to the SOHO update that was recently installed.
"I've had iPhoto start acting up (fails to quit) since SOHO NOTES latest update... checking the Console shows a possible problem....
You have a contextual menu entry (alias) in user/library and same name (original item) in library. That makes apps like iPhoto throw exceptions...
10/12/09 4:29:33 PM [0x0-0x40040].com.apple.iPhoto[653] objc[653]: Class SBContextualMenuHelper is implemented in both /Users/imran/Library/Contextual Menu Items/ChronosNotesCM.plugin/Contents/MacOS/ChronosNotesCM and /Library/Contextual Menu Items/ChronosNotesCM.plugin/Contents/MacOS/ChronosNotesCM. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined."
Let's see what they state.
Now.... Force quitting now to see what it shows in the logs:
It did not show any quick console messages. I'm surprised an OS X "report this crash to Apple" window did not open up.
Now relaunched... will see if it happens again...

iPhone is not "hung" in the traditional sense in that you can do several things within it while it's non-stop Faces spinning wheel displays. I do NOT find it responsive and it does NOT Quit when Faces is spinning forever. tgardner, your experience appears to be different.
Checking in Activity Monitor shows that interestingly there are no hangs or errors. But, looking into contents of iPhoto library shows NO files are modified even after 24 hours or running. In other words, maybe it's not dead, but it is comatose.
Also, checking in Console I always see a variable out of bounds error when this happens.
I have 19000 images and of those maybe 5000 have faces, of about 50 people. ALL of those images are already processed with Names info. Even if Faces needs to update some data, 24 hours of nothing but iPhoto running ought to be enough but it is not.
Others may want to check Console and Activity Monitor and add their experiences here.

Mail.app using 80% CPU and won't quit - any ideas?

Hi, I'll try and cut a short story shorter...
I tried to begin using Mail.app last night instead of Entourage and Thunderbird just to see what it was like. Having never used mail.app before, I use the bundled import wizard to retrieve the settings from the Entourage account (POP, wifes ISP account) which seemed to work ok. I didn't test at this point as I have another account (POP again, my gMail) stored on Thunderbird which I also wanted to import.
To import the mailboxs from Thunderbird I copied the relevant folders from the ~\Library...\myprofile\... folder to the desktop and added the .mbox extension. Then used the import wizard 'other' option to bring them in.
All seemed to go ok. I recreated my 'other' account manually and sent/received some test mails etc. then marked everyting in all mailboxes as read.
At this point the laptop went very slow so I checked Activity Viewer - this showed Mail.app hovering between 70% - 80%. I thought this was a bit odd so I tried to Quit Mail, but it just hung. I then force quit and the CPU calms down.
I opened Mail again and it was ok for about 3 minutes until I try to view various mailboxes. Mail is still responsive but the mailboxes are empty! I use the rebuild function and they show the messages again, unless I look at a different one and then go back to the rebuilt mailbox - it's empty again.
Then the CPU/won't quit happened again. CPU is up at the same levels, Mail.app has 7 threads. I thought there may be some indexing going on so I went to bed. I got up this morning to find the G4 fans going crazy and CPU still consuming the CPU?
Any ideas?
I'm thinking I may trash both accounts and rebuild from scratch tonight.

Hi Ian.
Aside from whatever the problem is here (which I don't really know), you shouldn't add an .mbox extension to mbox files in order to import them into Mail. Mail uses that extension for something else. Also, you'd get better results using Eudora Mailbox Cleaner to do the conversion.

Print Proxy Queue Won't Quit

On my Brother MFC connected by USB, the printer proxy app won't quit after the print job ends, and you have to click the proxy app's icon in the Dock, then quit the app manually. (You have to close it, as the computer won't sleep by itself after x amount of time if the proxy app is left open.)
This is only intermittent. You can tell in advance if this is going to happen by not seeing a little piece of paper icon superimposed over the printer proxy app's icon in the Dock. No piece of paper icon = proxy app won't quit.
Tried reinstalling all drivers, archive/reinstall, using Printer Setup Repair to "reset the printing system," permissions, Cocktail to deep clean caches including printer caches, all to no avail. New printing cables, connected directly without a hub. Happened on my HP LaserJet 3330 which died, and now on my Brother MFC-2070. Happened when I was using a Titanium laptop also, before the current G4 tower. Happens across many apps, although Office seems to provoke it more frequently.
Ideas anyone, short of trying a totally clean install and reinstalling all apps an drivers from scratch to see if that helps? The OS install I'm working on is back from 10.2.0, and has been upgraded and archive/reinstalled multiple times, and has been used on multiple computers over the years. My Word 2004 Normal template dates back to Word 5.1 and has been converted/upgraded several times (6.0, 98, 2001, X, 2004; could this be a culprit as well); should I rebuild it from scratch (hours and hours of work there, many custom menus, etc).

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
