Photoshop crashes when rearranging layers in layer window.

Photoshop crashes when rearranging layers in layer window. I'm using Photoshop CS4 Extended on a MacBook Pro purchased 5 months ago. I have tried restarting the computer. I am able to rearrange layers with the hot keys.

Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated?
As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by keeping command-alt-shift pressed on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.

Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)
If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.
Does turning off OpenGL in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

What is the exact version and what’s your OS?
What does the crash report state?

Photoshop crashing when I open jpeg or create new

I recently upgraded my Capture One software to v.4 (which included the installation of microsoft .net framework. Now Photoshop crashes when I open a jpeg file or create a new.
I did notice that when it opens the Initializing Type Tool progress bar doesn't show up and I just noticed on the blue start up window something called "Building TWAIN" - I had read in a previous thread about a TWAIN plug in attaching itself to photoshop. Could that be my problem?
How do I find that file?

It's in the plug-in folder!
Since you failed to mention either your OS or PS versions I can't be more specific.

i found out my prob!
here is what you do.
go to the "system preferences" on your dock.
click "software updates".
click "installed software"
if it shows something about a recent update about "EFI UPDATE, FIRMWARE, THUNDERBOLT" or anything like that, exit out of it.
go to mail.
click "mail" at the top.
click "preferences...".
find the account you are having trouble with, once you do, make sure its highlighted, then click the "-" at the bottom of the window (this will only effect that mail account, it will not effect your ical weather or not its synced thought that email account)
hit the "+" (right next to the "-") and add your accout back!
its something with that update that effected mail, i hope this works out for you, if not reply back

Photoshop crashes when trying to start program

Photoshop crashes when trying to start program
Using Powerbook G-4
10.4.11
15 GB available
When trying to open Photoshop it crashes when
the display window is trying to open and the text:
BUILDING MARK TWAIN
is showing. Then it crashes never making it to
the actual program.
I've tried uninstalling the program and installing
the program several times with no luck.
Thank you for any advice or tech support,

This is actually Photoshop Elements forum. try posting it on Photoshop forum.
In case you have some scanner/printer etc installed in the machine it might be causing issue. Try launching with none of the devices attached and anti virus disabled.

Photoshop crashes when I use the marquis tool.

Photoshop crashes when I use the marquee tool. As soon as I make a selection it crashes my computer (every time!) by either rendering the screen black or sometimes all white. I have to force shut down and restart. I'm using MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8 with Photoshop CS6. I am not in a position to update OS at this time. Is there anything I can do to work around this problem? It's extremely time-consuming and infuriating.
Here's the crash report, if anyone is able to make sense of this, I'd sure appreciate knowing what the problem is.

That is not an application crash - that is a kernel panic, which means there is a hardware defect, a bug in the OS or a bug in a low level driver (like parts of the video driver). Kernel panics are not caused by applications, but by defective hardware or bugs in the OS and drivers.
Resetting prefs may avoid the settings that triggered the crash - but the cause remains in the hardware, OS, or driver code.
Since Apple is not going to update the drivers in 10.6.8, your best bet is to update the OS when you can, and hope the new drivers are in better shape. Unfortunately, it is also possible that you just have a bad GPU or video RAM - and fixing that would require replacing the video card or system (in the case of laptops or all-in-one machines).

Latest update, photoshop crashes when saving

Ever since the latest security update, my photoshop crashes when saving a file?? Usually 100% of the time, but on occasion it's OK with a really small file.(??)

Hi Susanbombay,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
The10.4.6 update changed the AFP specification. PhotoShop CS2 uses the older OS9 spec.Does this happen when you're saving to an AFP mounted volume?
There are a couple of ways to sort this out.
1. save to your desktop and copy the files to the server.
2. roll back the AFP version to the one used in 10.4.5.
(contact off forum & I'll send the files to you)

Photoshop CS5 crashes when dragging a new layer

I was searching the forum for similar problems, but non of the threads had a solution (except uninstalling and installing again PS CS5 or even worse - formatting my PC).
I must say that this problem is quite new. PS was working flawlessly for a few months. It crashes when I paste a new layer and drag it.
These are my specs:
* HP Pavilion 9750ej
* Nvidia GeForce 8400M GS with the latest driver 266.58 (I uninstalled the previous one, and had a clean install of the new driver)
* 2GB RAM
* 11.7GB of FREE SPACE on 320GB HDD (I know it's not much, but it shouldn't cause PS to crash, especially when I'm working with low-res pics)
I don't know how to create a crash-log, but I would attach if you could tell me how, and if it's needed.
Thanks!

You haven't said what version of Windows you're running.
You don't need to do anything special to create a crash log; all versions of Windows keep this information already in logs. These logs typically keep information a long time, possibly all the way back to your installation of Windows.
What you want to do is to get into the Windows Event Viewer. On a modern system you can hit Start then type event log into the search box, then when View event logs comes up, click it.
A Photoshop crash will be in the Windows Logs - Application section as an Application Error.
You'll want to copy the textual description, which should include the Faulting module, and paste it here. Usually the Faulting module tells us what part of your system is failing.

Illustrator Crashing when labeling Layers, Groups and Objects - Windows 7

For some reason Illustrator seems to crash (fairly consistently) when labeling Layers, groups and objects with a common label - so ctrl+v each label.
Generally, I can label around 3 in a row before it crashes. I've replicated this error working both on and off the network. Our operating system is Windows 7

Version: Illustrator CC (up to date)
Language: English UK
Group/ object label example: hr.style: gradient transparency.
this error seems to occur when the files are over 500KB - also the files are purely vector and contain very little in the way of transparencies.

CS4 crashes when moving layers

I am running OS 10.5.8 on a 2.66 Quad-Core Xeon Mac Pro with 8G of ram. OFTEN when I simply try and drag a layer above or below another layer, Photoshop will crash. Has anyone experienced this before and have they found a working solution?

I had this problem in Photoshop CS4 when running Leopard, somehow finally got it to stop when I reinstalled Photoshop CS4 and applied the update, now it has migrated to Snow Leopard (a clean OSX install, to boot) much to my displeasure.
It happens whenever I'm not paying attention... I'll "move" a layer up or down a few slots like usual, or attempt to move a layer when Photoshop might be consuming a lot of resources (i.e. finishing off a filter effect), or even if I try and move a layer while the layer is being transformed and has not been finalized.
The times this has happened are numerous and annoying, always seemingly random. I could have only five active layers and it will happen, or 10 tabbed projects all with 20 layers, it doesn't matter.
Never tried using keyboard shortcuts for layer arrangement—will have to try that now. Will also start sending the error reports.
I should note that this problem never occured in Photoshop CS3. There is one good thing that has come of this: I've been relying on, and thus mastering, Illustrator a whole lot more which is rock solid for me. I love it.
EDIT: I've got a 2.4ghz MacBook Pro (the late 2008 unibody model) with 4GB of RAM. I usually run on the 9400M integrated graphics chip... I can't remember if this happens on the 9600 discrete or not.
