Photoshop Creative Cloud flickers and blacks out

I posted this in the Creative Cloud forum, but was told to post it here. I am sure it is only a Photoshop Creative Cloud problem.
I am using Photoshop Creative Cloud, on trial. I have been using Photoshop, desktop version, for 20 years. Never saw this problem on it.
PS CC flickers and blacks out. Many times, many different files, many different actions cause this. Right now, I am editing a photo, and using the Magic Wand tool to select areas that I will remove from photo. PS CC is flickering on my screen, on/off. Sometimes it goes completely black.
I can see the menus, but the image itself is flickering on/off. Mostly off.
Thanks

Yes flecking is a common problem. If happen for many bugs. That is why I posted the search instead of trying to answer your question for you posted little information bout your problem. In the guidelines you will see
=============================
Supply pertinent information for quicker answers
The more information you supply about your situation, the better equipped other community members will be to answer. Consider including the following in your question:
Adobe product and version number
Operating system and version number
The full text of any error message(s)
What you were doing when the problem occurred
Screenshots of the problem
Computer hardware, such as CPU; GPU; amount of RAM; etc.
=================================================
Information like that help to identify if you have a known problem from what your using and help pinpoint where the problem may be . Even if you have the latest OS it its updates. The latest video driver and the latest Photoshop update does not mean you will not have any software and hardware bugs. Just because there have be problem reported about flecking in Photoshop in all supported Platforms OS versions does not mean that there is a single common problem in Photoshop. All it means is that flickering is a common side effect caused by bugs.

Apple Screens of Death, Flickering, and Black-outs Galore

Should I downgrade to the older version? 2.0 seems to be filled with new problems.
Since I upgraded it, I've gotten the apple screen of death several times, including today. I can usually fix this problem by resetting it.
Today, it just blacked out. I couldn't get it to work. I tried syncing it and it seemed like it was syncing, but I still couldn't see anything on the iPhone. Not even the Apple logo.
I disconnected and reconnected it, and it attempted to upgrade its software (even though I'm on 2.0). Tried again, and it couldn't detect the iPhone anymore and said it needed to restore.
Still no screen. I did one final sync, and the screen showed up and it was working again.
At work today, I received an important business call. While speaking with a prospect, I had to look something up in Omnifocus on my iPhone. As soon as I clicked on the app icon, it gave me the Apple screen of death. I wasted about 10 minutes resetting it.
On 1.1.4, I had always had issues in the "voicemail" section where the screen would flicker on and off. I've got the same issue now; it's just work. I try to listen to my voicemail, and instead I have to wait for my screen to actually show up as it flickers on and off, with long periods of "off."
Then there's the battery life issue. I was only in work for 6.5 hours today, and it was fully charged when I arrived at work. I had 3 or 4 phone calls on my cell, lasting about 30-40 minutes altogether. That's pretty much all I did on it. Once it was time for me to leave work, I had under 20% of battery life left. That's pathetic.
What is Apple doing to address these problems? The MobileMe homepage still isn't up for most users yet.
Who else has these issues? Has anybody managed to solve them? If I need to restore, I will. I just don't want to do that if it won't fix it.

Do this.
Go to the Apple Support page and type in your serial number. When the screen comes up showing that Serial number having Applecare extended warranty take a screen shot of it or Print it out to a PDF file and then Print a Hard Copy of either of those things. Take that with you when you take your Mac in to be looked at.
Good Luck with the Lenovo. I hear they are the same quality as when IBM was making them. Personally I have always used Dell Business Class notebooks and have never had any problems with them. Still have one that is going on 11 years old and it still runs as good as the day I bought it, actually a little better because I've upgrade the CPU, GPU. RAM and HDD.

I'm recent Creative Cloud member and logged-in. In the past I downloaded photoshop but now when I atempt to use Creative Cloud Manager I receive an error message and a notice to contact customer service?

Hi There - can you tell me what error message you recieve? when you say creative cloud manager - are you referring to the "adobe application manager?" One suggestion is to navigate to http://creative.adobe.com and log on with your Adobe ID, then click on "apps" menu and select the product you want to install - you can choose Photoshop even if you already have it, this will potentially upgrade your Adobe Application Manager if it is out of date and may resolve the issue for you.
thanks,
Todd

Has anyone started out with creative cloud photography and later upgraded to the full bundle?

Has anyone started out with creative cloud photography and later upgraded to the full bundle?

Lenora, I'm curious about the same thing.
I currently have the cloud's Photoshop and Lightroom program, and would like to upgrade to the full Creative Suite.
The listed pricing doesn't distinguish between types of previous customers. I don't know if I'm considered an existing CS customer because I have other individual cloud products, or if I must have already purchased the entire suite in the past. Any insight would be grand.

Can I cancel my Creative Cloud membership and still use Photoshop on my computer?

I have the month-to-month Creative Cloud membership and am curious if I would be able to cancel my Creative Cloud membership and still have access to everything still involved with my Photoshop downloaded onto my computer?

If you have licensed versions of software that you purchased separately from your Cloud subscription you can still use them. There is a chance that the Cloud will have taken over for them in which case you may have to uninstall, clean things up, reinstall.

Try resetting Photoshop Preferences. Use your Photoshop start icon to launch Photoshop and immediately press and hole Shift+Ctrl|CMD+Alt|Option keys Photoshop should Prompt you with Do you want your Preferences deleted. Reply yes. Photoshop should then delete your user ID preferences and then create a default set of preferences for your ID and start successfully.

How do I get my plug ins (Nik and Topaz) to work on Photoshop Creative Cloud? [was:Plug ins?]

How do I get my plug ins (Nik and Topaz) to work on Photoshop Creative Cloud?

Contact the makers of your third party plugins and see if they have updates that work correctly with Photoshop CC 2014.
Also, make sure you ran the installers for the plugins instead of just copying them, since you may be missing necessary support files for the plugins.

Photoshop Browse in Bridge option opens the Creative Cloud window and not Bridge

Hi,
In the Photoshop CC File menu the "Browse in Bridge" opens up the Creative Cloud window and asks whether I want to install a different version of Bridge. I did the new installation once already but the problem is still there. The situation is the same over and over again. What to do? It's possible to get fro Bridge to PS but it's not possible to get from PS to Bridge.
Thanks for help.

I updated my Photoshop to the Creative Cloud version and my purchased filters are gone

I updated my Photoshop to the Creative Cloud version and now all the filters I bought such as Nik are no longer listed. How can I get them reinstalled?

They are not gone they are just not installed in CC 2014. CC 2014 is version 15 of Photoshop yon must likely only installed them into Photoshop CC which is Photoshop version 14.
