Photoshop CS4 quits responding when using 3D

Photoshop CS4 quits responding when selecting new texture in materials section under opacity in 3D. I have not had this happen till just a few weeks ago. It was working just fine. I run an IMac with 2 gig of ram. My graphics card is a ATI,RadeonX1600.

Ok I have tried turning off OpenGL and it seems to be just the Opacity, but it still locks up even if I just raise or lower the opacity level or pick new texture. By the way I called apple tech yesterday and they offered to roll me back to previous update but if anything occurred as a result of it, it would cost me $49.00 per incident. The tech also said that adobe needs to be the one with an update for the problem. Man what a mess. Well that all being said I will just have to use my MacBookPro for my 3D work. I have no problem with Photoshop on it. How do I get Adobe to do an update for the problem.

Hey High Socks,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, iTunes isn't working when you try to launch it. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

Recently my CS5 illustrator and Photoshop is not responding frequently. How to rectify?

Recently my CS5 illustrator and Photoshop are not responding frequently. keep crashing. Any solution?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mylenium,
My imac processor 2.66GHZ intel core i5
Memory 8G 1067MHz DDR3
Mac OS X 10.7.5 (Lion)
When I try to launch CS5 illustrator, sometime it is not responding. It also happen after I launched illustrator and I was just doing some basic design, change type and zoom in and out.
If I opened both CS5 illustrator and photoshop, while I was working on illustrator and when it start not responding, photoshop also become not responding and vice versa.
I hope this information is adequate for you and troubleshoot for me what's wrong with my mac.
Thanks
Mike

Photoshop CC not responding on Windos7

Photoshop CC not responding on Windows 7

Hi Patsphoto,
First, make sure you have all the Photoshop updates installed - you should be on 14.1.2.
Then make sure that all your drivers are up to date (especially the video card driver, which should be updated from the GPU maker's website http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cs6-gpu-faq1.html).
If you have any third party plugins, try disabling them.
Same goes for Flash panels.
Thanks!

Please do not use the post title to post the entire question (no offense, it just makes the forum look ugly). As for your question - you really did install it? I mean with serial and install disc? If so, the update would work, because it would find the proper install info. That not being the case, there are a few things that may be wrong:
- due to you language settings, the installer cannot find the folder because it has a different name (though on Vista, that shouldn't be an issue)
- at some point, you used the CS4 Clean Utility/ Script to remove install info
- you are using a pirated copy that you may have bought on eBay or elsewhere that has a modified installer to circumvent licensing
- you are using an unlicensed version a "friend" gave you and that never was installed, but merely copied to the harddrive
That pretty much covers the immediate options, now it's up to you to tell us, which one may apply. Assuming, we are talking about perfectly legit software, re-installing it from the original media should take care of the problem. For illegal software, you should understand, that you are utterly on your own and nobody will help you, much less on the forums of the company producing the software.

Why is my Photoshop CS4 not installing both 64 and 32 bit versions?

Hello,
I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit.
I purchased and downloaded Photoshop CS4 Extended and it installed as a 64 bit program. Now I need a 32 bit version also (for some Nik plugins), but the installer didn't install the 32 bit version (it would be in Program Files (x86). It should have installed both as a default.
Also, I didn't change the default pathing as I know that can screw the install up.
I ran the install program again and it runs through the complete install without giving me the Options Panel to select which version 64 or 32 (or both) to install.
Should I completely uninstall PS and reinstall to see if I get the install Options Panel? Other Ideas?
Thanks!
Chris

"it is not possible to just install the 32 bit version without an uninstall?"
It's a great idea, but I don't know how. I have the downloaded the PS CS4 file from Adobe that I used to originally install PS. I re-ran this install program and it reinstalled the same 64bit program that I already have; it never gave me any options as to which version to install.
I'm think I'll just have to de-activate, uninstall, reinstall to get the PS install Options Panel.

Photoshop CS3 "not responding"

I can open the program and it will allow me to open a blank file. But, when I try to open anything else (photo, graphics, etc.) the program freezes and I end up having to force quit the program because it shows up as "not responding".
This is my first mac and I've only had it a few months. I am lost. Any help is greatly appreciated.
ETA- yesterday the internet ran very slow, at times it completely froze up. it appears to be better today after i restarted the machine. i don't know if these are related.

It could be bad TWAIN or WIA drivers, Printer drivers, corrupt fonts, buggy plugins (has happened twice), etc.
The most command hang at launch is due to printer drivers timing out (we're just asking for the default printer name and basic information - we have no idea why some drivers sit and twiddle their thumbs for 20 minutes, but they do).
TWAIN is no longer installed by default in CS4, but could be a problem if you installed the TWAIN plugin.
WIA is active by default, but doesn't cause problems that often.
If you have a lot of fonts, especially a lot of off-brand or freeware fonts - one or two bad ones could cause a serious slowdown (as our font parsing tries to make sense of them).
Corrupt plugins usually crash, but we've seen a few buggy plugins do nasty things at launch (one tried to contact a server for activation - that got fixed PDQ).
That's all I can think of offhand.

Photoshop CS4 not seeing all RAM on Mac?

I just noticed my Photoshop CS4 is not "seeing" all of the RAM I have installed on my MacPro (2x3Ghz), running Snow Leopard 10.6.1.
My "About This Mac" reports (correctly) that I have 6GB of RAM installed.
However, Photoshop's Preferences > Performance window says there is only "3072 MB" available -- or half what I have installed. I know there is system overhead for the OS, but this is with no other applications running.
I know the Windows version of Photoshop is limited to seeing 2GB RAM because it's 32-bit, but I didn't think that limitation applied to the Mac side.
I've run the memtest application on the Mac, and it doesn't report any physical problems with my chips.
Is there anything else I can check or try to get Photoshop to recognize all 6GB of RAM?
Thanks,
Robbie

Surprise... you are running a 32bit app as well. That is why you cannot see more RAM for Photoshop.
(Windows installs a 32- and a 64-bit executable. Mac only installs a 32-bit app)

Photoshop CS4 not autoloading scripts into menu

Hi all,
I've just done a fresh install of CS3 Suite and then CS4 right after. I have two HD's, one is meant for OS and Apps, the other - for data. I keep a folder called "Photoshop Files" in the data HD; that folder contains my actions, scripts, whatever. This is good for if/when I need to reinstall apps or even the OS.
After installation of the Adobe suites, I made symbolic links that point to each necessary folder. ex., "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Presets\Actions\myScripts" points to "D:\Files\Photoshop Files\Scripts". Remember these are symbolic links, not just shortcuts.
Everything works OK in Photoshop CS3 - I can find the scripts in the File > Scripts menu. However in Photoshop CS4, I cannot see the scripts. Anyone have an idea of what's going wrong?

Re: How much RAM can PS CS4e use in Mac OS 10.5.x?
The answer is more complicated than that, and the amount of RAM that Photoshop can directly access has indeed changed as of CS3. Elementary computing math. Both Panther and Tiger, under which Photoshop CS3 was developed and released, are 32-bit operating systems. The 232 limitation still holds for all 32-bit applications (minus overhead/application footprint 231). Because one bit is reserved, the calculation has to be 231, which works out to2147483648, and that's why up through CS2, the Photoshop limit was around 2 GB as it was for any other applications because of the limitation imposed by the 32-bit OS. In CS3, the Photoshop engineers devised a workaround to circumvent the limitations of the 32-bit OS to let it access about 3 GB. (There's some overhead and rounding off.) So, be thankful for the resourcefulness of the Adobe folks, rather than rant against the forces of nature and mathematics.

CS4 Not Responding on new PC

I recently moved my Photoshop CS4 installation from my old XP machine to a new Win 7 64-bit PC. Now, whenever I open or save a file, the program pauses for about 10 seconds and "Not Responding" appears in the title bar at the top. Eventually, this disappears and the save or open is completed, but it's very annoying when it happens with every file. Can anyone suggest a cause?
Thanks
Peter

Double check to see whether you have any drives mapped that are pointing to systems not currently online, or shortcuts (or entries in your Favorites list) with similar issues.
Are you configured to use HomeGroup networking in Windows 7? I normally turn that off because sometimes it causes more problems than the convenience it adds. Without HomeGroup networking you can still reach other computers - basically just like the older systems with Workgroup access.
I have set up and use the same (Administrator) account on all my systems on my LAN (exact same username, same password), which makes networking quite seamless.
Here's how to shut off HomeGroup networking, if you want to try:
Click Start then type sharing in the search box.
When Network and Sharing Center comes up, click it.
Click the Change advanced sharing settings link at the upper-left.
Expand Home or Work, scroll down to the HomeGroup connections section, and choose the Use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers setting. To reverse this change, choose the Allow Windows to manage homegroup connections (recommended) setting.
Reboot

Photoshop CS2(Not Responding)

My photoshop cs2 program has been running very well for the past year or two. I have started saving files back and forth between cs3( at school) and cs2 (at home) for a school project. All the sudden, as I was painting a background to place in my project (magic wand>move tool) my cursor becomes an hourglass, all panels become blank, and at the top is says Photoshop (Not responding). This has happened 4 times now and I have lost my work each time. Can anyone help me?

This is a generic occurance on any program on windows basically asking you not to touch it until it has figured it out. It is a result usually of system resources being too low, meaning you need to upgrade your computer ideally in order to see less of the problem. If you press Ctrl+k, it prings up preferences. goto the Preformance panle, and if you can, set the memory usage for photoshop to what it says is an ideal range above it. This could help if you don't have anything else running with photoshop. Note that you must restart photoshop for the options to take effect here.
Also note that interactiing excessivly with windows during a "program not responding" period can cause the program to completely fail and loose your work. It is best to leave it along until it goes back to normal, then quickly save your work, then keep working.

Edit in adobe photoshop cs4 not working

Hi there!
I have Lightroom 2.3 & Adobe Photoshop CS4 installed.
The "edit in adobe photoshop cs4" function is not working for my RAW files (DNG). When I select "edit in adobe photoshop cs4", Photoshop is started up, but it doesn't load anything. It is working for other formats like JPG/TIF/PSD, as an -EDIT version though.
Anyone any idea? Thanks in advance!

Normally, when this happens it's because the version of Camera Raw installed with Photoshop doesn't support your camera. You haven't mentioned which camera you are using, but it's probably worthwhile downloading the latest version of Camera Raw (currently 5.3, but there's a release candidate of 5.4 available from http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Camera_Raw_5.4

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
