Photoshop CS5 issue with Mac OSX 10.9.4

I recently bought a 27inch iMac, and booted it up using a time machine back up of my old MacBook Pro (that also ran OSX 10.9.4). Once things were running on my iMac, I tried opening up Photoshop, and this window popped up;
When I closed Photoshop this window popped up;
I did go through all Photoshop files in my finder (both in the App folder and the Library preferences), and changed the permissions, but the issue is still happening, plus other random ones. For example, I can't open a psd file right away. The first window will pop up when Photoshop is booting up, and then nothing happens. I then have to open the psd file again for it to come up. Another example; changes to my workspace don't stay when I reopen Photoshop. Lastly some of the drop down menus won't work when I click them. I have to click the photoshop icon down on my dock, and then the menu will appear.
All my other Adobe products are working just fine. I would want to reinstall Photoshop, but I don't know how to do that when the iMac doesn't have a disc drive. Also my old MacBook Pro can't connect to the new computer in order to use it's disk drive.
Is there a fix for this issue, or do I need to reinstall Photoshop again? If so, how? Thanks in advance!

As the error says - you need to fix the permissions on your preferences folder, and it sounds like you may be missing part of the Application Support folders or have a permissions problem there as well.
It sounds like something weird happened to your system that messed up permissions -- we see that happen often when people try to use Apple's migrate utilities between systems or disks (it doesn't copy everything, and messes up permissions).  Fixing permissions with Disk Utility can help, but you may need to reinstall Photoshop to replace missing files/folders, and you'll still have to fix the permissions on your preferences folder.

    Are there compatibility issues with Mac OSX Leopard V. 10.5 and Word 2004 11.6.3 when installed on a PowerMac G5? I understand the Leopard upgrade is okay on the later Intel Mac, but what about my G5 PowerPC Mac?

    I do not use Microsoft Excel much but when i do use it it works fine on my G5. my powerbook has excel to but sometimes freezes on the powerbook. but not the G5 so give it a try you can always uninstall it if it does not work good

  • File encoding issues with Mac OSX?

    I really love DreamWeaver and I think its the best editor our there, except for one thing - the file encoding!
    I tried setting the default encoding to UTF-8 under Preferences -> New Document, but that won't cut it.
    Dreamweaver always creates/saves new files as Western/ISO format, so I always have to open them up with another text editor and overwrite the file with UTF-8 format.
    Is there a fix to this or a extension to download?
    I'm using CS4 on Mac OSX Leopard.

    CS4 should automatically save files as UTF-8. It's the default setting. You shouldn't need to do anything special.
    One thing you could try is removing the Prefs file. On a Mac, it's located at <username>:Library:Preferences:Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 Prefs.

  • Photoshop CS5 - Issues with 3D Text and Reppouse

    Recently, I downloaded Photoshop CS5. Whenever I try to transform normal text into 3D with the Reppouse feature, I this error:
    "Your 3D scene now exceeds the limits of lights and/or textures for the video card's hardware-accelerated 3D Rendering. As long as the limits are exceeding, 3D rendering will be done in software only, and some features (e.g. Reppouse) will be disabled."
    If anyone has tips or advice on this problem, please fill me in because I will be gradly appreciate it. Thank you.

    1. Yes, many Laptops  that have onboard video chipsets are not good enough.
    2. Yes, your card does support some OpenGL and in this case this error reveals your card  does not support the 2 default Lights that are generated whn creating a Repousse mesh.
    3. Repousse requires OpenGL, other 3d functionality dos not require OpenGL

  • VirtualBox compatibility issues with MAC OSX Mavericks

    Hi All,
    I am just feeling I should have stuck to 10.8. I upgraded to 10.9 (Mavericks) and am no longer able to use the host adapter settings on VM. Upon further looking around, it was suggested to upgrade to Virtual box version 4.3 and I did that. So far so good. Now, unlike in the past, when i tend to shut my machine - the display lingers around and when I tend to open any apps (like safari) a pop up message - your machine is already shutdown is displayed!! . I had to physically forcelly push th power button.
    Later when I log in back, the Virtual Box had to be reinstalled, as I found the same issue with Host Adapter settings.
    Is anyone else facing this issue?
    ALso, is there any way I can get my mac book rolled back to 10.8?? I am still in warranty if that helps.

    FYI, some bugs were fixed in 4.3.1 but there's still a blocker that VirtualBox prevents the Mac from shutting down.
    The bug ticket is: #12241 (VirtualBoxVM Application can't quit) – Oracle VM VirtualBox
    And today a dev posted an explanation:
    The problem is two-fold. The first problem is that VBoxNetDHCP does not terminate automatically and prevents VBoxSVC from shutting down (4.3.0 regression). We fixed this problem and the fix will be available soon. The other problem is that the VBoxNetAdp KExt has to be disabled. This is a Mavericks regression and finding the fix is more difficult. We are working on it.
    Comment 4 describe a work-around:
    I have found that this problem (at least in my case) is caused by the host-only interface ("vboxnet0" on my machine). If I don't have a host-only interface active on a given VM, it will stop cleanly. If one is active, the "stuck" behavior will be exhibited, the VM will be unable to be Force Quit and will prevent shutdown or reboot from the GUI. The machine can, however, be rebooted or shut down from the command line via "sudo reboot" or "sudo shutdown -h now", although there is a significant delay before the actual reboot/shutdown occurs (up to a minute).
    I have also found that removing the host-only interface via "VBoxManage hostonlyif remove vboxnet0" will clear the condition and allow the stuck VM to finish its shutdown and disappear from the Dock.

  • Aurvana Bluetooth Pairing Issues with Mac OSX

    Have Creative Aurvana Gold headphones and they pair with iOS devices pretty easily; however, on my Mac (OSX Mavericks latest) they now refuse to pair/stay paired. I've tried deleting the device from the Mac and re-pairing several times. Also rebooting, etc. Nothing seems to work.
    The initial pairing goes perfectly and then after 20-30 seconds or so the connection drops. Battery is full. Tried powering the headphones on/off a million times, rebooting countless times, etc.
    In Mac OSX Console I see this set of messages every time:

    Sometimes the headphones will stay paired if audio is playing at the time they are paired, but I can't be certain that's the reason.
    UPDATE: While they are connected I can't really listen to anything / play videos. YouTube just hangs for example. And the console now shows a ton of these messages:

    the headphones are connected: I see a steady blue blinking light on the multifunction button on the earpiece.
    What can I do to fix this?

    It's a third-party application. I suggest you contact the developer for technical support. These forums only provide support for Apple products.
    The application may simply be incompatible with the version of OS X you are running.

  • Photoshop CS5 issues with..everything

    I recently posted a specific question, but it looks like there are more issues then just the original.
    Basically, I will be using the clone tool and all of a sudden I cannot change the brush size with my wacom tablet. I have to quit and restart Photoshop for it to work.
    If I don't restart it and ignore my wacom tablet, I can not use quick selection keys such as undo. The clone stampe tool won't show the overlay (and yes everything is checked.)
    I reinstalled PS CS5 and it was better for a couple days, but now I am running into the same issues.
    Thoughts? Who would I even contact for this? It's not a wacom issue and I haven't made any software updates for my MAC recently.
    All Adobe producs are up to date.

    On and off through history these kinds of problems have been seen (I've seen them myself from time to time).
    While it's near impossible to tell what's really gone wrong, VERY often the problems are solved by getting new drivers or system updates that correct the infrastructure on which Photoshop relies.
    OpenGL drivers have traditionally been buggy, and certainly we've heard of problems with Wacom tablet drivers.  There is also the real possibility that a 3rd party plug-in is at fault.
    Thing is, bugs in any of this software can cause corruption in Photoshop's extensive set of RAM-resident data while it's running, which can lead to trouble seen MUCH later than when the problem originally occured - for example your failure to quit bug.
    I can only advise checking for system updates, plug-in updates, and driver updates.
    I know that in some cases in the past, actually using an older version of a driver (thinking of Wacom, for example) has been advisable.
    Keep the faith, it can work right.

  • Webcam Issues with Mac OSX 10.5.6

    Hi All
    Hope you can help here. When I set up my new Mac Mini (10.5.6) All went OK with my Logitech Quickcam pro USB Web Camera. Then after using a website that had a webcam flash control - it stopped working.
    I tried installing maccam - all worked - but the image quality is poor, then I tried the IOXPERS driver - quality was good - but I dont want to pay 20 bucks for something that should work with OSX native (it did!!)
    Any ideas how I can resolve this issue? Im pulling my hair out!
    Cheers
    Dave

    Hopefully
    Im sure its some sort of driver issue or something wrong hanging around in the Library directory!
    Can anyone help?

  • Photoshop Elements 8 with Mac OSX Lion

    Photoshop Elements 8 quits after I click on the 'HELP' menu option, or if I request further help from a popup menu. I recently updated my imac to OSX Lion.

    Yes, what Brett N said. Go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
    com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 settings
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 paths
    Opera preferences
    and also any lockfiles with the same names. Also repair permissions before launching PSE again
    In lion that library is hidden. To see it, in the finder, click the Go menu and hold down the option key. It will appear below the little house for your user account.

  • Is adobe photoshop cs5 compatible with MAC OS 10.7.2

    I need to update my CS3 version of PhotoShop which has been completely incapacitated by the recent update to Lion. The spinning rainbow of death.  But before I purchase CS5 I need to know that it actually works under Lion?
    Thx for any advice.
    Barb

    Appreciate the reference but I've already visted that site. To be honest, I don't trust a single thing Adobe says about its products and product compatibility. So I turn to users.
    My CS3 was working fine even when I upgraded to 10.7.2 but that recent little patch Apple released to upgrade thunderbolt and my epson printer for some reason put cs3 out of commision. It launches but when I move the cursor to the menu bar the rainbow swirls until I do a forced quit.
    This update is hundreds of dollars for me. It is important I understand how the two products co-exist.
    Thx!

  • Color and Color Management boxes in Print Settings greyed out. Using PS CS5.1 with Mac OSX 10.9.5.

    For some reason, the above boxes are now greyed out when I go to Print Settings and I am getting prints that are badly distorted. Was working perfectly a few days ago and can't understand why this has suddenly happened ?  Am now confused as to what settings I should have in the Color Management dialogue box in order to get back to the correct operation.

    I've also been having this problem. My computer now consistently shuts down between 10 seconds and 2 minutes of startup. This only happens if my computer is not plugged in. (my battery has been between 70-90% the entire time.) If I keep it plugged in...no problems.

    You don't. Since you have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

  • Issues installing Photoshop CS5 in my Mac Book Pro

    I have heard that there are issues installing Photoshop CS5 in case sensitive Snow Leopard drives. How do I know if I have a case sensitive drive. I was able to download the 30 trial version of Photoshop CS5. My file system is listed as - Journaled HFS+. Is anyone familiar with this issue and will I have this issue installing Photoshop CS5 on my Mac? Thanks.

    As you had already downloaded the installer, give it a try. Well if your file system is Journaled HFS+ installer will not report any error related to file system.
    To check the file system -
    Finder > File > New Finder Window
    Select only the volume under Devices for which you wish to get the file system information.
    File > Get Info
    Under General tab check Format:
    I believe it would be just "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" in your case. For case-sensitive it would be like -
    "Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled)" or "Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive)"
