Photoshop cs4 & cs5 will not deactivate

I have done this several times for both. Deactivate button works. Photoshop says it is deactivated and quits. Yet I can fire it up again and it still works.
I need to reformat this drive and start again and don't want to run into activation problems. Can't find this problem in a search.
Any help...please,

Hi Robbin,

  • Photoshop CS4 Extended will not open file from Bridge.

    This is 2nd time this has occurred.  Last time I uninstalled CS4 and re-installed to fix it.  Prefer to not do that again.
    System: XP Media center, SP3,  3 GB memory, Athlon 64x2.  Generic - motherboard graphic card.  18 GB disk space remaining.
    Typical work flow is edit DNG files in Lightroom.  Once done, select DNG files in Bridge and under Tools run the Photoshop Image Processor which changes color profiles, sharpens and converts to JPEG and saves.  Done this probably a thoudand times.  Ran a batch Sunday afternoon fine.
    I may have interrupted an Image Processor batch that was just starting and glitched something.
    Now Bridge will open Photoshop but nothing gets imported with the Image Processor.  Also Bridge will not run a Batch.  Bridge will open Adobe Raw for editing a DNG but cannot load it into Photoshop.
    Once I try any of these things, Photoshop will usually not close/exit and many menu items are shaded out.  For example, opening a file or starting a new file is not available.  Activate/Deactivate not accessible.  Can Deactivate and Activate through InDesign. Photoshop seems OK otherwise if re-started after re-boot.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you.

    So far, no good.  Here is what I have done and current symptoms.
    1) I backed up all the settings and workspace files, then deleted them.  No change.
    2) No matter what I do, everytime I hold down the control, alt and delete keys when starting PS CS4 all I get is the Windows start settings "Adobe Photoshop CS4 Properties" box where you can select "Target" and "Start In" paths.  I do not get any dialog or confirmation to reset anything.
    3) Bridge successfully reset preferences using the Control key while starting it up.
    Everything about Bridge has appeared to function corectly before and after these changes.  But when the Tools/Image Processor or Batch is called, it starts Photoshop OK but nothing in imported to be processed.
    Photoshop opens (either from import or stand alone start) with menus partially functioning.  Under the file tab, nothign important works.  Cannot open a file, cannnot start a file, cannot exit - all grayed out.  But keyboard shortcuts do work and I can open a file or start a new file using the shortcuts.  Once I get a file open with the keyboard shortcut, most of the menu functions come back under the file tab and can be used and can exit PS.  The "X" in the upper right corner to close the program still remains greyed out and not functional.  The Activate/Deactivate options under Help remain grayed out.
    4) I deactivated the Suite from within InDesign and the I uninstalled only PS using the Windows uninstall utility.  I reinstalled PS from the CS4 Suite which of course reinstalled Bridge and some other utilities.  I reactivated from within InDesign and ran all updates from within InDesign since updates were still grayed out in PS. Encountered an error (Adobe CSI CS4 1.0.1,Adobe Drive CS4 1.0.1,Adobe Extension Manager CS4 2.1:Failed to install.)
    Problems still exist as described.
    5) Finally I deactivated again from within InDesign and re-installed the whole CS4 Suite without uninstalling anything before hand. I noticed that process did an uninstall before each module was re-installed.
    Problems still exist as described above.  I did notice that Photoshop showed itself still Activated (but grayed out) in the help menu even though I had previously deactivated the suite before the re-install.  Ran complete Updates from within Bridge.  Encountered an error (Adobe CSI CS4 1.0.1,Adobe Drive CS4 1.0.1,Adobe Extension Manager CS4 2.1:Failed to install.) but continued on. Everything else updated OK.
    I looked through the registry settings for the settings path as noted in referenced forum links and all looked correct.
    Additional Notes:  I installed the OnOne Plugin Suite 4 a few weeks ago.  Everything has run smothly since then until this problem poped up.  After the Uninstall/reinstall the OnOne menu option appears as normal.  As do my old Nik plug ins.  I doubt this has anything to do with the issue.
    Any more ideas outside of starting all over on a clean drive/machine which I really dread even contemplating?
    Thank you.

  • CS4 & CS5 will not edit Home Page. All other pages edit fine.

    Called tech support and they said to make this duplicate post, so I will.   I am using CS4 Trial in XP 32 bit, and CS5 Trial in Vista 64-bit.  Neither version will edit my home page.  All other pages edit fine. http://www.audiofilesolutions.com.
    I have checked to be sure I am listed as Admin on both versions.
    When trying to edit the home page, all text and content collapse and will not allow editing.  Very top and very bottom menu bar remain.  Here is a pic.
    As you can see above, there is nothing to edit other than the top and bottom hyperlinks.
    Here is a pic of what the edit view should show.  This is another page and not the home page.
    This is a freshly designed site and I can't edit it until this is resolved.  Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Bridge is not tied to any restrictions in terms of activation or requiring specific components to be in place, hence it almost always works. Do you correctly run the install with administrative privileges?

    "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application."
    -CS4 Photoshop

    I've been at this for days, I've uninstalled, reinstalled, clean scripted, everything i could think of. I have no luck with anything! What is strange is that Bridge will still work, but just Photoshop alone won't.
    If anyone could help .. in anyway at all, it would be greatly appreciated!

  • Photoshop CS5 will not open

    My photoshop CS5 will not open either from the desktop or from the program list. I can open Bridge but when I then try to view a photo in photoshop I get a message that says Bridge has stopped working and will have to close down.

    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

  • Photoshop CS5 will not start after Outlook

    If I start Outlook (Office 2007) as the first application after loading OS (Win 7 Ult, 64 bit), Photoshop CS5 will not open (message: "needs to close down). I then have to log off and in again and start Photoshop before Outlook to get it to work. I seem to remember having this kind of problem some years ago - but do not remember whats caused this problem. Is there anybody out there having the same kind of trouble? Or even better - the solution?

  • Photoshop CS5 will not launch

    Photoshop CS5 will not launch either from the desktop or program list. The only way to launch is to log out and restart the computer. At the end of each session I reset the preferences in the Workspace.  I am running Win 7 ultimate with 4GB of ram. System is 64 bit .  Display is ATI Radeon HD  5700 series. Adapter type is AMD Radeon Graphics Processor (0x68B8). The computer has an Intel(R) series/3400 Chipset Family.
    When I installed from the disk I received the message  Exit Code 6, 0 fatal errors, 21 errors, 1 warning. I have reinstalled several times and still get the same message. Tried disabling start up items while installing but same message.

    One thing that sort of jumps out at me, regarding running the program, is that 4GB of RAM. With a 64-bit OS, 4GB is just about the minimum to run the OS, with little to nothing left over for a program, like Photoshop. I would bump that up, and to 12 - 16GB, if possible.
    For the installation, I think that Mylenimum has posted some very useful links.
    Good luck,

  • My current Camera Raw 5.7 for Photoshop CS4 Extended does not support Canon EOS 6D. What can I do? Will there be a Photoshop Camera RAW for that?

    You would need Camera Raw 7.3 or later to open those files. Adobe is not going to update CS4. You can either get a newer version of Photoshop that comes with a current version of Camera Raw, or you can use the DNG converter to save your files down to the ACR version that works with CS4.

  • My photoshop cs5 will not recognize raw photos from my canon eos 70d

    my photoshop cs5 will not recognize raw photos from my canon eos 70d

    No.  DNG is a RAW format.  There are a few small manufacturer specific items that are left out when converted to RAW (for example, Nikon's Active D lighting) that aren't maintained, as well as some Meta data and focus points, etc.  Personally I never noticed the difference, but perhaps some do.  There is no impact to the image quality, you have just as much post production freedom with DNG.
    I did it for a couple years before upgrading to CS6.  It's an extra step, but you get used to it and it's not a huge deal.  I would put my card in my reader, and download to a temp file.  While that downloaded I would go to the fridge and grab a beer [Edit - you can substitute the beverage of your choice ].  Then I would run the RAW to DNG converter, and drink my beer.  It was usually done before my beer (if not I got another).  I saved the CR2 files as a backup at first, but once I got comfortable trusting DNG I stopped doing that.
    Another option is to get Lightroom and use that for your developing.  You can then send over a TIFF file with the edits.  But in this situation you couldn't send the image over as a smart object (I think, I assume this would use ACR?).

    I purchased Photoshop CS5 for my windows vista operating system. I purchased a canon 7 D some yrs ago no problem. I purchased canon 7D mk 11 in December 2014. The supplied software will not work with vista. Photoshop CS5 will not accept canon7D mk11. Can someone please tell me how i process canon 7D mk11 photos ?????. (is it possible to bypass camera raw and open the photo straight into CS5 without using camera raw first. if so how do i do that. if not how do i process pictures).
    Thank you.
    Brian in the UK.

    Photoshop by itself cannot process raw image data. That is why the Camera Raw plug-in was developed. You could try the DNG converter and convert your images to the DNG format and then the Camera Raw that you have would be able to open them. I can't recommend Lightroom because you are using Vista, and Lightroom 5 cannot be used with that operating system. It may be time for you to get a new computer and upgrade your software.

  • Bridge CS5 will not open camera raw - but hangs!!

    Just installed CS 5 web premium upgrade from CS4 web P - but Bridge CS5 will not open camera raw - it hangs!! - but camera raw can open via Photoshop ext. 64 bit on my Windows 7 pc.

    In that case I would try resetting Bridge preferences by holding down Ctrl as you start Bridge.
    Before that, ensure that there isn't a hidden copy of Bridge running under Task Manager > Processes.

    nope... this is a known issue for users. Hopefully will be resolved soon (not holding my breath though). Some people have suggested resetting pram, uninstalling flash, quitting Safari, updating java, installing third party mouse driver software etc... but for me nothing has worked yet.
    I have 2 monitors and this happens quite a lot, but ONLY on my iMac monitor. If i move the mouse cursor to my second screen it's visible there, move it back to my iMac screen and it disappears.
    My workaround is to hover over the dock to claim my cursor back, but that is really just an annoying thing to do every 5 mins.
    I am convinced this is a OSX issue but the two companies are just pointing fingers which will not result in any fix any time soon.
    Thinking about selling my two Apple machines because of this bug.
