I have Photoshop CS5 Extended. I have had this programme several years now, which I use on my Mac. 10.7.5. I have today tried to open an image in my photoshop and is giving me all sorts of trouble. What can the problem be?

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?

Hmm... I have CS5 Master Collection, and MS Office 2007, and I have never had any problems opening ANY program, in ANY order
My hardware and OS is linked here... http://forums.adobe.com/thread/652694?tstart=0 - you might want to post details in case someone is able to spot a problem based on more information

Photoshop Elements 7 does not start (after 3 years i used it)

Yesterday, when i opened my Photoshop Elements 7 (I use it on my PC from 3 years), after the splash screen, an alert windows says to me that there is an error and suggested to restart PC or reinstall product. The program automatically closed itself.
I'm not able to write the exact sentence of the alert, because now PE7 does not start at all. Not even the alert with the error message.
I always used this product in this 3 years (from this PC), without problems.
PE7 was preinstalled and pre-registered by the constructor of PC (Sony-Vaio). So, now i have not even the registration key to reinstall PE7.
Furthermore, I tried to open Adobe Premiere Elements 7 (also, preinstalled and pre-registered, but never used), and after splash screen the program automatically close itself.
What can I do??!?
Thanks you all.

No result by disconnecting from the network. Even if I restart PC.
But.... I SOLVED the problem!!!!!
The problem was "FLEXnet Licensing Service"
Thanks to last tip, that leads to another failure... I remembered that 2 days ago I tried to optimize my PC by stopping some service with MSConfig. One of the disabled services was "FLEXnet Licensing Service".
Searching in google, now i know that "Flexnet Licensing service is used by most Adobe products to prevent piracy".
So, some Adobe products do not start, if Flexnet Licensing service is not running.
Thank you very much for tips, and help in general... very helpful (to investigate the nature of the problem).

Photoshop CS5 Extended NOT in CS5 Production Premium?

Hi!
A few days ago I purchased CS5 Production Premium. I already had Photoshop CS5 installed and registered on my PC. However, after installing Production Premium I still have Photoshop CS5, but not Extended. I checked again on the What's Is Production Premium page, and sure enough Photoshop Extended is listed right below "What's Inside" near the bottom of the page. I did not uninstall Photoshop prior to installation as I don't recall being told to anywhere.
Just for kicks I started the install process again and stopped to look at the programs being installed. Photoshop CS5 (64bit) is listed, not CS5 Extended. If I click on the Photoshop.exe icon that is in the either of the Adobe folders (rather than using the Start menu, just to be sure), one in the Program Files (x86) for the 32bit apps, and the other in the Program FIles for the 64bit apps, I still don't have Extended for either version.
I also noticed the modified dates of those Photoshop folders are from close to my original Photoshop CS5 installation date. Nothing was changed when I installed the Production Premium package.
Also, I was emailed four serial numbers (two are numeric only, the other two much longer and contain letters and numbers). However, during the install only one was ever entered. Besides Photoshop I've only tried Premier Pro, After Effects, and Illustrator and they all seem fine.
What should I do to get Extended working?

That did the trick! Thanks for the quick response.
Weird thing is that the Deacitvate option was greyed out on the 64bit version. I looked in the 32bit version and it was available there. I permanently deactivated it, exited Photoshop (32bit) to check the 64bit version again. This time a CS5 Production Premium window appeared with the option to install Photoshop CS5 Extended. I clicked install and Photoshop opened up almost immediately; all Extended options now available.

Photoshop CS3 Extended "Not Responding" after selecting horizontal type tool.

Hello,
When I start my PhotoShop CS3 Extended v10.0 and load up a jpg and
then zoom in and go select the horizontal type tool and click on my
jpg, PS just freezes and then I click the main screen and then it
tells me infinetly that it has "Stop Responding"
I am running Win XP Pro SP2 (2600) 2GB DDR, ample HD space, Intel Core
Duo processor 1.66GHz.
Can some one tell me whats going on?

I have deleted the pref file vie the Crtl + Alt + Shft Meathod.
It still won't load up.
How did I get to the Crtl + Alt + Shft Meathod?
Good question..... I right clicked the .exe icon and selected
Run as , Current User and --> Unchecked <-- "Protect computer and data
from unauthorized program activity"
And SP started up with no problems.
BTW I wasn't being sarcastic with my last post as I see you used
all Caps in your reply which on the internet is considerd yelling.
If I had something sarcastic to say i would put in quotes "said with
a sarcastic tone", but i did not. I was mearly implying what the words
ment. I say what I mean and I mean what I say, period. Thanks for your help BTW and for now that problem still remains when clicking
the .exe file. Nothing has changed other then I can start PS when
following the directions I have stated here in this reply.
What are your opinions on this?
I would love to hear your thoughts.

Photoshop CS5 extended not recognizing all of my system memory

I reinstalled photoshop CS5 and prior to that the 3D repousse tool was not working properly but the performance section recognized all 16 GB of memory I have. After the reinstall, it only recognizes 3.5. This is very strange and I am at a loss of how to solve this issue. My system is dual quad core AMD opertons with 2.01 GHz of speed. 16GB of DDR2 RAM and a Nvidia GTX 285 Graphics card. OS is Windows 7 premium. All drivers have been updated as of today. Please let me know if you had the same problem and let me know how you fixed it.

Are you running Windows 32 bit? That prevents 64 bit apps from running.
If you are running a 64 bit version of Windows, and the 64 bit version of Photoshop -- then Photoshop should see most of your installed RAM (can use all of it because of OS overhead and the size of the binaries).

Manages Exchange server health Service is NOT starting after installing EDGE role using Exchange2013 SP1+CU5 setup

I used Exchange 2013 SP1+CU5 to install Edge role on Windows server 2012 R2 workgroup machine
then after installation the service "Exchange server health Service" was not starting automatically or manually with the following error "Error 1075: The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion"
and in the Event Viewer I have this error:
Event Id: 7003
The Microsoft Exchange Health Manager service depends on the following service: MSExchangeADTopology. This service might not be installed.
please advice

The Exchange 2013 Edge Role has a reduced set of services compare to a CAS or MBX server role:
Active Directory Web Services
Microsoft Exchange ADAM
Microsoft Exchange Anti-spam Update
Microsoft Exchange Diagnostics
Microsoft Exchange Credential Service
Microsoft Exchange Health Manager
Microsoft Exchange Service Host
Microsoft Exchange Transport
Microsoft Exchange Transport Log Search
The above one was from Exchange 2013 Sp1. Not sure whether Microsoft Exchange Health Manager service has been replaced from CU5.
Just restart the edge server once again and ensure that you are able to see this service again in services console.

Photoshop CS3 Extended Not Responding after Installation

A couple of days ago, I purchased a copy of CS3 Extended and was ecstatic. I got home and installed it on my computer, only to find that when I opened the program, it would just not respond, so I was left with a white window. I was afraid it might be the software, but my dad tried it on his computer, and it worked just fine. I'm really not sure what setting or anything might be causing this issue. I've read the troubleshooting from cs3, but it did not appear to help at all. Any help would be appreciated. I'm also willing to post computer stats or whatever may be needed in determining the problem.

Make sure you download the dot release (10.0.1).
And all white display sounds like 2 bugs we know of: video card drivers (common), and a flaw in some Pentium4 processors with Hyperthreading (an updated BIOS can patch around it).

Photoshop CS6 - failure to open after 2 year's use due to adobe message.

An Adobe message to confirm a trial of PS CS6 Extended has suddenly appeared to prevent me from continuing to open my photoshop application ( non extended) which has run OK for two years. No other options are given. How can I get rid of this message to enable me to use application? Adobe Chat suggested deleting some adobe files but this did not work and then they suddenly discovered that CS6 was no longer supported on Adobe chat! Can you help me?!

Help gives merely version 13.0 x64 (windows) But I have found a solution & I think the following gives the sequence:
message first appeared after my computer's card reader stopped working pro tem, so I downloaded the card from the camera via USB using Bridge CS6 downloader, something I have not had to do before (ie from the camera). The message above gave only one option, but of course, CS6 extended or otherwise is not now available from Adobe anyway. By attempting to open Photoshop CS6 offline the message option to license the product now appeared as well with requirement also to sign in my Adobe ID. By entering the licence serial number again of my unextended product (although it was already recorded as licensed on my account) and my adobe ID I was then immediately able to open Photoshop. Possibly some piece of software recognised an unusual procedure (piracy prevention)? Anyway it now seems to work perfectly again.
Many thanks JJM for your interest and I hope this account may also be of use to someone else out there!

My Comp will not start after 2 weeks of Use!!!

Alright, so i have had my macbook for about two weeks and it has routinely had problems with turning on. It started the second time I tried to boot it up...I had to unplug the battery and plug it back in for it to start..and when it did turn on it would say that Mac OS unexpectantly turned off.. this happened two more times until yesterday when it wouldn't respond to anything that i did...I dont know what to do..Is there a quick fix or should i just demand a new one from the closest store? I have tried the commmands as well.. so any suggestions?

Here's what I did when my MB shut in my face this morning:
#1: Take off the battery but leave the power adaptor plugged in. Push the start button and hold it. The white LED in front of the MB will light up, then flash. You will hear a big BIP sound, then the usual Apple chime. Wait until everything appears, then put back the battery. Restart and see what it does. Try with and without the AC plugged in. By the way, this procedure can also be performed with the battery stiil plugged in. I don't know if it makes a difference. (I read to unplug the battery, did it, but tried another time without doing it)
#2: Shut down the MB. Take off the battery and unplug the power adaptor. Push and hold the power button for 5 seconds (nothing will happen). Put the battery back and plug the AC. Restart wait to see what happens. Try gain with and without the AC plugged in.
Here's the warning: I don't know exactly what these two procedures do (the second reset the PMU as far as I know [search Apple for more details]). For me, sometime it worked, sometimes I had to try again. Still, I was finally able to restart (after the PMU resetting I think), unplug the AC and use my MB, as well as restarting without the AC. HOWEVER, i got another problem, which that now, my fan is either always on, or starting frequently for no reason, going very fast and loud and then shutting down.
Hope this black magic helps...
**After thoughts: zapping the PRAM might help..? alt-cmd-P-R on startup. Push and hold until the second chime.

PhotoShop CS5 (PS CS5) will not start

While configuring PS CS5, I removed the check
mark on my c:\scratch disc because I do not want
scratch files running on my systems disk. I kept
the scratch disks on my e:\, k:\, and g:\ drives and
configured them to be used in that order by PS
CS5.
After completing the configuration, I restarted PS
CS5. Now, when PS CS5 starts the initialization
process and begins to load the scratch disks, the
startup routine fails.
I get a dialog box with an Adobe Photoshop CS5
Extended error box, which contains a red circle
with an X that indicates an error, and the message
"Could not open a scratch file because the file is
locked or you do not have the necessary
privileges. Use the 'Properties' command in
Windows Explorer to unlock the file."
First the dialog box does not name the file to
unlock, so I do not know which file suffix indicates
what is and what is not a scratch file. Secondly, I
do not want to use my system drive, c:\, for a
scratch disk. Finally, how do you configue PS CS5
to properly restart, after the scratch disk
configuration is changed, after installation? This
seems to be the primary problem and I have never
observed it in any other release.

The other problem is that there does not appear to be any means to make a scratch drive on any drive, unless you also make one on the system drive, which is c:\. If you do not make a scratch drive on c:\, you will get the same error that I posted about.
Hi Luther, what you say isn't the normal case. I actually have my scratch drive pointed at D: only and don't see the problem you are seeing.
It still sounds as if Photoshop cannot write to your other drive. These kinds of problems can arise if a disk is moved from a system to another system, or if a different user sets up the system initially.
Do you see the problem if you start Photoshop via "Run as Administrator" (as Kathleen suggested above), or temporarily reduce your UAC level?
Keep in mind you're not actually running with privileges on Windows 7, even though your account may be an administrator account. You have to elevate the privileges (or disable UAC, which has some downsides if you don't fully understand the security model).

Hi please can you help me. I have photoshop CS5 extended, I bought a new camera Nikon D610 I want to edit my photos adobe camera raw , but when I try to open photoshop CS5 it will not open. Please can you tell me how to download and install the camera raw

HI bought a new camera Nikon D610 , I am using adobe photoshop CS5 extended, I want to edit my photos in camera raw but it is not possible to do so . I need to download camera raw plugin for CS5 can some tell me how to do so or if there is a link for the camera plugin.
Many thanks Pitt.

For that Nikon model you need ACR 8.3 that means CS6 or CC. Or you can download the DNG converter convert your Nikon RAW files to Adobe RAW files. And then process the Adobe RAW files with CS5 ACR version 6.7

Problems installing plug-ins (and even Adobe updates) to Photoshop CS5 Extended on a new Win7 64-bit laptop.Instead, a message box pops up on the CS5 screen saying "could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document."

Problems installing plug-ins to Photoshop CS5 Extended on a new Win7 64-bit laptop. (Same CS5 and plug-ins installed OK several years ago on a Vista laptop. Now I'm just trying to migrate everything over to the new laptop.) Even some Adobe updates won't install. Instead, a message box pops up on the CS5 screen saying "could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." Any solution?

CS5's automatic update mechanism is broken, perhaps because it is no longer updated and can't cope with the newer ways of updating.
So this means you will have make a list of the updates that failed, go here: Product updates
and manually download/install from there.

Photoshop CS5 Extended 64 Bit (trial) crashes on start-up

Hi,
I have both, the 64 bit and 32 bit trial versons of Photoshop CS5 Extended. The 32 bit program works, but the 64 bit crashes on startup. It just tells me it has "stopped working". I am using Window's 7 (64 bit), and have an "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670" video card, so it should work. Can someone please help me. I'd like to buy the 64 bit version but no sense if I cannot get it to open.
Thank you

Does that help at all?
Also, if you change the registry, will that keep you from doing anything important in the program? I've read on the forum that it keeps the 3-D part from working correctly?.... or not.
