Photoshop CS5 freezes during save (Mac Os 10.9)

Dear users of Photoshop, I have a serious problem.
Every time I try to save a blank Photoshop file also does not respond and I have to force quit.
Work on a MacBookPro with 8 MB of Ram.
The system is compatible.
Until recently it worked.
I tried to repair permissions.
I tried deleting everything even with the use of Adobe Cleaner and reinstall.
I tried to launch the appicazione Adobe to fix the licenses.
Please help me.
From Activity Monitor I see that the application is not responding.
I'm desperate ... What can I do?
Thank you and by.
Sara

Update: The uninstaller clearly does not uninstall everything. Something is left on or in the flies is corrupt. I have trashed everthing I could find after an unistall and even things that Apple support helped me find. Still crashes after uninstall and fresh reinstall.
Good News: I found a work around for now. I logged into another user account on the same computer. Contribute CS5 opened, I enter the Key and information, and I have access again. At least I have one way in. The trouble is most of the content I want to add is in the other main user account, so I have to put all files/photos into a shared folder so I can get access.
Any other ideas?
Thanks

  • Today after a long time I tired to open photoshop CS5.1 on my mac, however it has vanished?

    Today after a long time I tired to open photoshop CS5.1 on my mac, however it has vanished and I am unable to find it anywhere on my system. I have recently done an update to my system so am unsure if this has affected it in anyway but the only thing I am able to find in Adobe Utilities is an uninstall option? I have tried reopening old saved psd files but these only open up preview. The photoshop I owned was a student version so am unsure if this has something to do with it going away ? Is there a way to get it to come back at all with out having to buy it again?

    Run the cleaner tool and reinstall.

  • Why does Acrobat XI PRO freeze during save or save as tasks in Window 8?

    Why does Acrobat XI PRO freeze during save or save as tasks in Window 8?  It is intermittent, but CHRONIC, and I am forced to "repair" the installation, or reboot by computer.  This has been a problem since upgrading to Windows 8 and installing the only Acrobat XI update.  Feedback most welcome and appreciated, but an Adobe FIX would be the best solution.

    10/4 to all, same problem here with Save or Save As in Acrobat XI Pro using Win 8 Pro, is it Adobe or Win 8 or both causing the problem.
    FYI, I just retired and am trying to archive/reduce my printed material and pictures to pdf, this continuing problem is really the pits.................

    Hi Guys,
    I found the solution on Adobe's forums. Thanks to the adobe guys.
    I have a program "RightZoom" installed. Needed to upgrade that to the latest "Lion Compatible" version.

    Apple provides repeat downloads as a convenience, not a substitute for your computers being the primary source of file transfers.  All your iTunes information such as playlists, ratings, etc. are in a file on your computer, not in the Apple Store.  Typically when you move computers you copy the whole iTunes folder and everything it contains to the new computer.  Moving media files can be done with a drive, or by Home Sharing.  You can also redownload media but let's say somebody desiced Apple may no longer sell a certain album; it cannot be downloaded again but if you already have it on a computer you can move your copy of the file.
    5 authorizations:  Some households have multiple computers.  If you want ot use one with an account it has to be authroized.  It means you can use any computer in the house to make purchaes, etc.
    Okay, my 5 minute typing limit for any one response is up.

    I currently have Photoshop CS5.1 on my Mac and want to transfer it to my newly purchased Mac Book Air. How can I do that?

    Just install it like you did the first time (do not try to transfer it from the old machine in any way) - you can download thru your account if you purchased it as a download originally - otherwise there is a link for downloading below. Your serial number should be available thru your Adobe account online if your registered the software previously.
    CS5 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html
    If you like you can leave it on the first machine as a backup because you are allowed to have two activated installations.  If you wish to remove it from the older machine you should deactivate it first (open an application and choose Help -> Deactivate).

  • Photoshop CS5 freeze after load (Windows XP)

    I've been using Photoshop CS5 for about two months and have been having issues recently.  After the application loads, it will freeze when you attempt to work on a file.  For instance, I have a multi-layed PSD web layout that is only 2mbs in size.  I'll load it from either the desktop or from the recent files list.  I can usually start doing something (like start moving an layer or start editing text) but then the application freezes.  If I open a file and do nothing and let the program sit, it eventually closes up and rarely throws an error.  The Windows application event viewer gives me the following errors when it crashes:
    Hanging application Photoshop.exe, version 12.1.0.0, hang module hungapp, version 0.0.0.0, hang address 0x00000000.
    I also found this error, which I imagine will be much more helpful:
    Faulting application photoshop.exe, version 12.1.0.0, faulting module adobeswfl.dll, version 2.0.0.11360, fault address 0x002d346c.
    I've reinstalled Creative Suite, and each time it was properly updated.

    I've gone ahead and done that and I still get the same results.  I also moved things out of the Application Data folder one by one to test those files as well.  A couple of times I could actually use Photoshop, but when I'd quit, it would stop working when I re-opened it.  I checked the Windows Application Event viewer again and found this:
    Faulting application photoshop.exe, version 12.1.0.0, faulting module ole32.dll, version 5.1.2600.6010, fault address 0x0004b104.
    I'd like to clarify that I am by no means a Windows user, and that I am only running Photoshop on XP for work, so bear with me on that.
    Thanks

  • Adobe Photoshop CS5 Freezing on Eyedropper tool, please help!

    Hello all! I would be so appreciative of any help I can get with this.
    I am working on a some graphics that need to be completed very soon, and suddenly photoshop is freezing on the eyedropper tool. I've tried force quitting, which does not work, and then restarting multipe times, but this has not worked either. Every time I reopen my file (which is an 8.5 x 11, 350 ppi,grayscale image), and try to work with the paint bucket tool, the problem persists. I'm not able to click and change the tool, use any options under file/edit/view/etc, go to another layer, click out of the window/close photoshop. I am still able to zoom in and out with keyboard short cuts, but that is about it.
    I am working with CS5 on a Mac OS X 10.6.8 , 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon procesor.
    Please let me know if there is any more information I can provide to help explain the problem.
    Thank you!

    Have you tried resetting the eyedropper tool? 
    Click on dropdown box of tool in upper left hand corner.  Then click dropdown box arrow in right corner of the window.
    If that does nothing reset the preferences.
    Start photoshop and immdeiately hold down the option + command + shift keys.  (Windows Alt Ctrl Shift).
    You should get a reset window.
    It is a little tricky so if you see the splash screen you are too late.

  • Photoshop CS5 freezes when opening files

    Since, I belive, the last CS5 update a week ago, Photoshop is freezing for a few seconds (5 or 6) everytime it opens an image, any image, regardless of its size, color mode, layers, etc. This was not happening before. Anyone with same problem?
    I have a Mac Pro 2x2.66MHz with 11GB Ram and Mac OS X 10.6.4.
    Thx

    Yes, here at work we use Font Agent Pro. I tried your 'unspoken' suggestion and the problem indeed goes away when removing the Font Agent Pro auto-activating plugin.
    Thanks for the solution. Should we avoid the Font Agent Pro plugins in InDesign and Illustrator too? Is there a better way for auto-activating fonts (Suitcase Fusion)?

  • Photoshop CS5 freezing-up on new iMac

    I've received the new 27" iMac last week, 32GB of RAM, 1Tb Fusion Drive, GeForce GTX 680.  Installed everything, including Photoshop CS5 Premium.  I'm moving-up from a 2008 Mac Pro, where Photoshop CS5 ran flawlessly.  However, on the new iMac, everytime I open up a file (PSD, JPG, anything), Photoshop freezes up for 5-6 seconds.  It may not seem like a big deal, but when I open 20-30 files, Photoshop stays frozen for a good minute. I believe the issues lies in the Mac itself.  Can someone recommend a way to isolate the issue?  Is there something in Terminal I can monitor? 
    On the side note, everything else with the new iMac has been fantastic.  The display, processing power (far faster than my Mac Pro, and USB 3 and Thunderbolt are a welcome upgrade to the USB 2 I was limited to). 
    Thanks a million guys!

    Ok, it turns out, Font Agent Pro 4 was causing the lock-up.  I've upgraded to Font Agent Pro 5 and the issue is resolved.

  • Photoshop Elements freezes during launch

    I have posted this before, and will do so again. I am using Photoshop Elements 13.x with a Mac OS X Yosemite installation. The program freezes during startup. If I follow the advice found HERE:
    A Reminder for Mac Folks upgrading to Yosemite | Barbara's Sort-of-Tech Blog
    And then restart my computer, the program will load and function properly a few times. It might be once, twice... or five times. But soon enough I have to repeat the procedure. It's unacceptable and if Adobe can't offer support or a solution I would like to know how to obtain a refund.

    Hello? Is there anybody out there?

  • Photoshop CS5 freezing on picture open...

    When i go to open a file in Photoshop CS5, the program freezes and goes to not responding.  When I run it as administrator it works fine.
    The problem is there are certain add-ons that were added to Photoshop that will not appear when running as administrator
    What is weirder is that Photoshop was running fine for months, and then suddenly started freezing.  This is a user account logged in to a domain, but Phoptoshop is installed locally.
    What is causing this?
    We even tried a reinstall of the program as well, this is making no sense.
    Even sometimes too, when I go to check for updates, there are none as I installed them all, after getting out of the check update screen it then freezes too.
    What is going on?

    this is making no sense.
    Sure it does. Something you did recently borked your user privileges/ file permissions like installing some security tool or system update or moving files and folders around. And the add-ons do not appear because they are installed in your user folder. You would have to install them again as admin. Beyond that it's impossible to say much because you haven't bothered to provide proper system info and other details.

  • Lightroom 3: Edit in Photoshop CS5 no longer saves a copy as TIFF for editing

    Hi,
    I have Lightroom 3 (LR3) and Photoshop CS5 (non Extended) and Snow  Leopard on OSX.  Both LR3 and CS5 are filly updated.  CS5 updated with  Camera Raw 6.1.
    On one day, when I tell LR3 to "Edit in Photoshop" it would save a copy  of the NEF with current LR3 settings as a TIFF and I can edit it in  Photoshop as a TIFF.  I would see a progress indicator in LR3 that show  it saving a copy as a TIFF.
    The next day, this stopped working.  It goes directly to Photoshop and  opens the NEF itself.   It's is completely ignoring the LR3 settings in  External Handling tab.
    Strangely, when I "save" this NEF in Photoshop, a TIFF is created back in LR3.  That threw me off completely from LR2.7
    Has anybody encountered this?  Does LR3 skip telling you if you want to save as TIFF now if you have the latest LR and CS?
    Thank you.

    What you describe as abnormal is how things are supposed to work:
    If the RAW engines match (where LR3 and ACR 6.1 do), then LR just tells PS what the "conversion recipe" is and PS tells ACR to silently open it with that "recipe" so it doesn't have to be rendered to TIF or PSD on the way into PS. 
    If the RAW engine of PS (ACR's version) is too odl to understand all the LR adjustments then LR knows this and will render to an intermediate file on the way into PS.  This also happens if you use some other third-party photo-editor that can't use ACR to open the file.
    On Windows, at least, there is a way to make LR render to TIF/PSD on the way into Photoshop, I fyou create a duplicate copy of the EXE and rename it to PhotoshopX.exe or some other name that LR doesn't recognize as Photoshop, then LR thinks it is a third-party editor and renders an intermediate file.
    What might have happened is that you updated to ACR 6.1 or maybe PS 12.0.1 which caused LR to re-evaluate the Photoshop compatibility and it determined it was fully compatible and didn't render to an intermediate file on the way in.
    Since Photoshop is a bitmap editor, it has to save as something other than the RAW file on the way out, and LR will see that Save occur and import it automatically.
    Does that all make sense?
