Photoshop CS5 interface locking up and windows disappearing in OSX Mountain Lion?

Hi,
This has suddenly started happening to me using Photoshop CS5 on my mac running the latest version of Mountain Lion.  When I open a PSD file at first it doesn't appear to be there.  If I check under the "view" menu the interface says that the document is open.  If I use tab to switch between views, the document appears and the palettes on the right disappear. Tab again and the interface reappears around the document,  palettes are still gone but they are replaced by transparent grey blocks where the palettes should be.  I can't bring up any new palettes and I can't move the document window.  If I have multiple documents open, one remains in front even though the titles in the title bar change.
I've reinstalled Java.  Unistalled and reinstalled Photoshop CS5 but nothing is working.  I've opened Photoshop CS3 and it works fine.
Has anybody else expereinced this or have any idea what's going on?
Thanks for any advice

Hi Chris,
No I don't have any utilities or haxies.  The only thing that I know I did before the issue was remove a trial version of Flash CS6 and I installed Flash CS3 (I was working with an old FLA and the new text tools in Flash CS5 were making editing difficult).  That's why I thought reinstalling Photoshop might help.  I thought perhaps I'd overwritten or removed an important file.  There have also been a few minor updates to the OS recently.
I ran a diagnostic with tech tool pro and as far as it can tell the video card is good.
Regarding Java: when OSX Lion came out users were required to download and install run time for Java in order for Adobe Products to function. Some of the issues seemed similar to what I'm experiencing. This is from adobe help: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/install-java-jre-mac-os.html

    This is not difficult and you will not have to download from the app store.
    your computer has what is called  a recovery partition that came with it.
    simply hold cmd+R while you boot up. let go a second after you hear the chime.
    you will boot into the recovery partition.
    Use disk utlity to format your usb drive and then exit Disk utlity and go to Reinstall Mountain Lion.
    it will ask  you which disk you want to install ML onto. Choose your new USB drive.

  • How to sync hotmail contacts and emails on Mac OSX Mountain Lion?

    I have problem in setting up my hotmail synchronization on my macbook, specially my contacts and my calendars, including about my 10 years business conections and records. What shall I do?

    The extra content will be in the HD/Library/Application Support/iDVD folder.  Check to see if that folder is still present. Or check in the Home/Library/Application Support for the iDVD foldler.
    If you find it in either of those locations launch iDVD, go to it's Advanced preference pane and point iDVD to the location of the iDVD/Themes folder:
    Otherwise you'll need the disks that came with your Mac to do a custom install if iDVD and the addtional resources.  The disk will be similar to one of these:

  • Photoshop CS5 has stopped working and shuts down

    I purchased Photoshop CS5 in March 2011 and after trying to install software I was unable to do anything in Photoshop without getting the following error message:  "Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working".  A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.  I was unable to open any psd file or new file withouth that error message.  After you close that error message window, Photoshop immediately closes down. I had someone from Adobe remotely fix this problem.  Now it is appearing again and I am unable to use the program.  I need help with this.  Please.

  • Photoshop CS5 32 Bit Installation Errors, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Today I did a second install of Photoshop CS5, in a 32 bit Windows 7 virtual machine that is otherwise in fine health (up to date, yada yada).
    The Photoshop installer package I had used prior to do a perfectly successful installation on my x64 Windows 7 system didn't have quite as good luck on my 32 bit system...  It wouldn't do a default install at all, and even when I disabled UAC and configured all the options disabled (no need for 'em for my testing), it still emitted some errors - though in the latter case it actually completed the Photoshop installation and I was able to run Photoshop.
    Note that after the first failure I disabled UAC.  All installs done from an administrator account, though I did not run the installer as administrator while UAC was on.
    This is not a big deal - what I needed to test with did finally get installed, but I thought Chris or someone at Adobe might like to know what the installer barfed on.  Here's what it reported:
    First install, failed utterly:

    This is for people who might find this thread via a search:
    The errors I reported above (e.g., those with the .otf fonts) are related to the configuration of the "3 gigabyte address space" option, invoked by the switch /3GB in boot.ini (XP) or bcdedit /set increaseuserva 3072 (Windows 7 and Vista), which is what I was experimenting with when doing this installation.
    I dropped back to the default 2 GB setting (bcdedit /set increaseuserva 2048) and tried a reinstall to confirm, and indeed the install went through smoothly.
    Trying to increase your address space in a Windows 32 bit operating system through tweaking has known downsides; consider moving up to an x64 operating system instead to be able to access more RAM.

  • I have Photoshop CS5.5 Design Premium and need to open Nikon NEF files

    I have Photoshop CS5.5 Design Premium and need to open Nikon NEF files.
    I just downloaded the plug in for CS5.5 and it does not work. I put the Camera Raw.8bi file in the correct location as specifiec in the "read me" file.
    Can someone guide me on how to do this, adn make it work?
    Thank you.
    Jay

    so far no luck.
    I ran DNG program for Windows (I have Win 8) and ran the menu to convert
    the files on the same memory card from the camera.   Of 135 files, the
    status column for the first 68 files said "converted," but the for all the
    rest, it says "There was an error writing the file."
    Of the files that "converted," they do not open, and I get the same error
    message as before: "Could not complete your request because it is not the
    right kind of document."
    So, what a mess.
    I get conflicting indications of the version of Photoshop I have. When i
    click "About Photoshop in the Help menu, it says CS5 Extended.    The Error
    message for the dng files says CS5.1 Extended.  Does it make a difference?
    I've been at this three hours now.  It's a pain.   For many years I had no
    problem with NEF files, as I had installed the plug-in as required. This
    time it is not working. So I am not new to this.

    Hi Kenton,
    Adding to what James mentioned, this stands true for both Lightroom and Photoshop. In other words, you don't need to necessarily install the previous versions but while installing the latest versions, in this case Lightroom 5 & PS CS6, you will need the serial keys for previous versions as well along with the current ones.

  • Photoshop CS3 (Ver. 10.0.1) on a MacBook with OSX Mountain Lion (10.8.5) will I loose access to my Photoshop if I upgrade to Yosemite?

    I'm running Photoshop CS3 (Ver. 10.0.1) on a MacBook with OSX Mountain Lion (10.8.5) will I loose access to my Photoshop if I upgrade to Yosemite?

    There's just a flurry of complaints about CS3 crashing under Yosemite. The upgrade is known to damage CS5 installs. Adobe only certifies CS6, CC, and CC 2014 as being tested for Yosemite.
    I would not advise it. You would more than likely have to reinstall CS3 and its' updates, as well as your printer drivers and no guarantee it will be the same.
    If your work depends on CS3 functioning, hold off for now, or until you upgrade Photoshop.
    You are taking chances you probably don't need to.  If it works, don't fix it.

  • Mountain Lion won't install on 10.7.4. Suggestion from Apple is to completely erase harddisk and install Leopard Snow Leopard Mountain Lion. Is there no other way to install Mountain Lion

    Mountain Lion won't install on 10.7.4. Suggestion from Apple is to completely erase the harddisk and install Leopard > Snow Leopard > Mountain Lion.
    Is there no other way to install Mountain Lion?

    I tried and failed for several hours to install Mountain Lion, and was repeatedly getting the "Recovery System" cannot be created error.  I tried all the tricks: resizing the drive partition, booting from an external boot drive, all to no avail.  After reading other users struggling with the same issue, I had determined it to be a boot camp drive error.  However, I didn't want to have to erase and begin anew when I came upon a possible solution.  I had long ago renamed my boot camp drive with a "." (".windows" for me) in order to avoid having the partition show up on my desktop.  So, I boot into windows and renamed the c: drive without the "." ("windows"), and reboot into os x.  The install then went off without a hitch.  I hope this will be helpful for others struggling with this issue that may have renamed their boot camp drives in a similar manner.

  • Why ilife disappear after reinstalling mountain lion?

    why ilife disappear after reinstalling mountain lion?

    The 10.8.3 update should have left your iLife apps intact - did you do a clean install, erasing your drive? If so, then you should be able to go to the Mac App Store and download the iLife apps using the Apple ID with which you registered your computer.

    HI,
    In Message Menu > Preference > Accounts you should at least have the iMessage Account (Which is Enabled) and th Bonjour one that most likely is not.
    After that if you had iChat type AIM valid Screen Names or Jabber IDs in an earlier OS then the System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars should list them and have them set to be used with Messages.
    There is a vague chance that you have not set these up yet (you can do it in Messages or Mail, Contacts and Calendars)
    Once you have a t least one other "Account" other than th iMessage one in Messages then the Buddy List option will appear next to CMD and 1 in the Window menu list.
    NEXT
    If you go to the General Section of the Messages Preferences you can unlink several Buddy lists if you have them (By default they are shown as one gathered Buddy list)
    I Have several Accounts logged in (AIM valid and Jabber ones)
