Photoshop CS not opening/launching

I've had my new imac 24" for 5 months with no problems.
However,just now when i tried to launch Photoshop CS nothing happened!
I've tried clicking the jpeg files and using open with CS in the finder:ziilch!
Also double clicking the jpeg file..and still nothing.
Everything was working fine a couple of hours ago.
All other apps seem to be working fine.
HELP!!
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Eventually found this fix and it works:
Finally, there's a known bug in Photoshop 7 and later that can cause the application not to launch. Try this:
* Open System Preferences > Time & Date
* Click the "Time Zone" tab
* Change the time zone to something other than it is now (doesn't matter what)
* Close System Preferences.
* Now, repeat the procedure above, this time setting the time zone back to your preferred location.

    With CS5 you must have registered, hopefully under your present Adobe ID.

  • Photoshop CS4 not opening & Wacom Cintiq 20WSX driver problem

    Hello,
    I have been using Photoshop CS4 for quite sometime now with no issues. I have just started using a Wacom Cintiq 20WSX and installed all the necessary drivers and now Photoshop will not open (I have seen other threads relating to Intuos tablets but not the Cintiq 20WSX).
    I have unistalled the Wacom drivers and Photoshop will open, on reinstalling the Wacom drivers the problem starts again "Photoshop cs4 has stopped working".
    I am running Windows 7 Home Prem 64bit. Photoshop CS4 has all current updates and I am using the most recent driver for the 20WSX from Wacoms site.
    Any suggestions as this is really really frustrating. (I have not yet attempted to uninstall Photoshop and reinstall it)
    (Incidently I am using the Production Premium CS4 Suite and everyhting else appears to be unaffected -AE, AI are opening with no issues)
    Thanks!

    Hi. I had the same problems with my Intous4 as well, and since both cintiq and Intuos use the same driver it probably is the same.
    Try this. Uninstall the wacom, unplug it, restart the pc. Then download the latest driver from the wacom site (if you didn't already), and install that latest driver alone, without installing the one that came with the cintiq. This is how I solved my problem, it wouldn't open PSCS4 64bit and AE

  • Photoshop will not open some of my files

    I recently had a hard drive crash. I sent it to a recovery company and they returned my files on a new hard drive. Many of the images were recovered but some show up as CR2 files or psd files that photoshop will not open. The message says that this is a file format that PS does not recognize. These files seem to be no different from my other CR2 files and psd. files but the thumbnails don't show up in Bridge and PS will not open them. Can anyone tell me how to get these files to open?

    I thought this following suggestion to use GIMP to open stubborn PSD files was brilliant:

    you may also want to try using the DNG converter with your CR2 files:

    it's worth a try, but it's a long shot.

  • HT2476 cannot find java runtime and photoshop will not open

    running OSX Lion on iMac Photoshop will not open. It says I need to update Java Runtime, but I do not have any updates. It says I am not connected to the internet and I am obviously since I am here. Help!!!!

    I downloaded and it opens, but everytime I quit photoshop I get a crash report! there is nothing different except that I upgraded to Lion. Can I uninstall and run Snow Leopard and if so....how do I do that?
    Also, I just downloaded an upgrade to Topaz and it says cannot install on this computer...it is my main plugin for PS
    If you have gone to the Topaz developer's site and see no update for Photoshop in Lion, then all you can really do is contact them to see if they ever intend to update it.  What verion of Photoshop are you using by the way?

  • Photoshop will not open unless as Admin but that causes other problems

    Hi all,
    There are two problems:
    1.  If I don't run photoshop as an administrator
    2.  If I run photoshop as an administrator.
    1.  If I don't run as administrator, Photoshop will NOT open.  I can't even open .psd by double clicking them.  Can't open from the installed directory, can't open from shortcuts.  It only works if I right click run as admin or set properties to run as admin. 
    I am the only user for the system, and I have even taken ownership of all files.  Yet, it still requires me to run as admin.  I am running CS5 with windows 7 64bit.
    2.  If I run as admin I cannot drag or drop files into PS.  As detailed in here - http://forums.adobe.com/message/3640635.  I can open files manually through file menu, but dragging and dropping is disabled (shows a circle with a slash when i drag into PS). Their solution in the forum was to remove running as admin.  But if I do that, I get problem 1.
    Any ideas?
    Jason

    Option 1:  Clearly something went wrong when installing Photoshop, or you have changed permissions on your system for some part(s) Photoshop needs to access.  Verify, for example, that you have Full Control access to the root of the hard drive you have identified as scratch.  A reinstall of Photoshop might correct this.
    Option 2:  Windows UAC is likely the culprit here.  Some folks choose to turn off UAC completely, which means you'll be running everything as Administrator all the time, but that should not be done without FULLY understanding what UAC does for you and what additional measures you'll take to ensure your system doesn't get infected with malware.

  • After installation CC, Photoshop will not open. Program error?

    I got a subscription on Creative Cloud. Downloaded CC and Photoshop, but Photoshop will not open. After the splash-screen, it says something about a program error, and then it stops. I deleted CC and PS and reinstalled everything, but still the same result. I work on a Mac, and all software is up to date..

    1. try resetting your preferences:  hold down shift-ctrl-cmd while starting ps.  you'll see a confirmation dialog if done correctly.
    2. if that fails, uninstall, clean and reinstall following the help here, http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html

    The E-M1 was first supported by Camera Raw 8.3 which is only compatible with CS6 and CC. It is not compatible with CS5 or lower and never will be.
    Some options:

    Join the Cloud
    Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all the Raw E-M1 files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5

  • Photoshop will not open/create new files, cannot resize images etc

    Hi to all.
    So I'll start with the basics; I am using Photoshop 7 (And yes, I am using it for a specific reason, I'm not interested in migrating to this new $1000 Creative Cloud rubbish), us Australians are getting ripped a new one and I'm happy with the $50 I paid for my copy years ago. (Please do not tell me the answer to my problems is to simply upgrade and go bankrupt. Again, I've been using 7 for a very long time without issue).
    I've been using 7 for almost a decade without issue. I stick with it because so far, it's done everything I need, has been reliable up to this point, and my plugins do not work properly with newer versions. I'm also running an older-spec system (Windows XP, 3gb ram etc) as I do a lot of work with older game engines, Source Engine etc.
    The issue I'm having doesn't appear to be Photoshop-7 specific however, there are many threads on this that have gone unanswered, and happen in CS3 etc and modern copies as well. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it to no avail. Basically, I cannot open files reliably with it.
    If I right click any image file in explorer and click "open with -> Photoshop", photoshop will launch, however it does not open the file. I double checked to ensure the file was not just opening offscreen, however it is definitely not opening at all (as the "close" option does not become available).
    If I launch photoshop manually, and click file -> open -> It will open that file, HOWEVER it will not open any more files after that.
    It also is very very fickle with simple commands, such as if I hit CTRL + T to go into transform mode and then try to rescale an image, I have to click and drag the corners at least 5-6 times before it will recognize that I am doing so, and it will also ignore the resize that I perform and snap back to normal. Sometimes I have to click things more than once to get them to register. This is not occurring with any other piece of software etc, so I've ruled out that it's an issue with my mouse.
    This has only been happening a day, and I cannot think of any particular system changes likely to result in this (ie no abnormal plugins installed recently, no major hardware or software changes). Unless my keyboard has a stuck key or something strange, I'm absolutely at a loss
    Is there anyone who can help me, or has heard of this issue?

    I am an idiot.
    I guess the scratch disk was full or something else. A simple reboot appears to have solved the problem. (I often have my system running for up to 48-64 hours at a time without reboots) as my workdays are around 36 hours at a time, so it could just be a memory constraint from XP.
    Hopefully this solves the issue for anyone else who encounters it. Reboot your pc once in a while, give it a clean slate of memory to work with.
