Photoshop CS5 not loading?

Everytime I open it, it loads for a second then it says "Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working" and ti does that every single time. I re-installed it and still got the same thing. Helps?

You're not telling us anything useful. System info, operating system, other relvant info like printers, scanners etc....

My photoshop will not load, error message 148.3

my photoshop will not load, error message is 148.3

This is a licensing error. The usual fix is to reinstall the program after running the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool. also read this:
Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Windows
Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Mac OS
If you can't fix it, you will have to provide more info like system specs and what version of PS you actually use...

Where/How to get download for Photoshop CS5 (not Extended)

I am setting up a new computer (Mac) and am not transferring data from old computer (clean install). I own Photoshop CS5 (not the Extended), and need to re-download that version (I had upgraded via Adobe website). The only version I see offered is the Extended, which I do not need or want.
How can I find the download I need? I have all the serial numbers going back to Photoshop 2.
This always fills me with dread, with these applications- most unfriendly.
Thanks

Thank you both.
My account (Your Adobe Product and Online Service Registrations) shows the purchase of Photoshhop 12 (which I assume is CS5). However, the other section which shows purchases is missing this one and several others, whioch were supposedly corrected the last time I went thru this.
I don't see where to figure out whether CS 5 or CS 5.1. I had upgraded when the CS5 came out, and have updated it as updates are available. I guess I can download whatever is available and see if my activation codes work; if not, I guess I can uninstall and talk to Adobe next week.
Thanks!

Update/ adjust your graphics card driver. Both crashes seem pretty clearly related to issues with graphics acceleration not working as required by both programs.

Thanks

i did not load anything on 10.4, when i goto the new imac, i just loaded 10.4 and then immediatly updated to 10.5. i have CS3 on my pc, so i just want to test CS3 on the new mac, to see which runs better. if i like it then i will buy the mac version. so far, my pc will surf the net about 3-4 times faster than the mac. i did not get the mac for net use, only for sound video and photo editing. but i do surf google for images.

Photoshop CC not loading on MacBook Air with Mac OS 10.9 (Mavericks)

Photoshop CC is not loading at all after updating my 2013 MacBook Air with Mac OS 10.9. The error message (in German as I am using the German version) says "Konnte Photoshop nicht initialisieren da ein Programmfehler aufgetreten ist" ("couldn't initialize photoshop since a program error occurred") . Application launcher is updated to the latest version and deinstalling and re-installing photoshop CC didn't change anything. What can I do?

Why does Camera Raw 6.7.1 w/ Photoshop CS5 not convert raw files from a Nikon D610 camera?

I just upgraded my Nikon D90 camera to a D610. I've been using Adobe Bridge to manage my photos made with the D90, and Camera Raw 6.3 to convert the raw files for use in Photoshop CS5. The new D610 writes different raw files, so I upgraded Camera Raw to the latest version (6.7.1) which is said to be compatable with the latest Nikon cameras.
The D90 files still convert fine with Camera Raw 6.7.1, but the raw files from the D610 cannot be read. Does anyone have any insight into why not?
Thanks,
JoelP

There will not be another update for Camera Raw 6.x which is the version that is compatible with Photoshop CS5. So you will not have a way to natively open your NEF files from the Nikon D610. But you can download the DNG converter (version 8.3 RC) from Adobe Labs and use it to create digital negative copies of your NEF files. And then you can use those with the Camera Raw that you already have. Other alternatives would be to upgrade to Photoshop CC, or Photoshop Elements 12, or add Lightroom to your workflow. If you choose Lightroom you would have to use the 5.3 release candidate at this point to have support for your camera. It will, of course, be supported in the final version of Lightroom 5.3 as well as all subsequent versions of Lightroom.

Photoshop CS5 not working as editor in Lightroom 3.

Photoshop CS5 is not working as the default external editor in Lightroom 3. It works as the Additional Editor but then I cannot use any of the functions associated with the primary such as Merge to HDR, Open as Smart Object, Open as Layers. I have not been able to find an answer althought there are many similar problem threads.
What happens? When I try to edit in PS5 primary external editor, photoshop opens and nothing happens with .dng files. Tiff files open. Raw do not open Not sure about psd. Cannot do anything with multiple files as they do not open at all (PS5 opens as usual- Nothing happens if PS5 already open)
Mac 10.8.3
LR 3.6 Camera Raw 6.6
PCS5 12.0.4 ACR 6.7
If anyone has solved this, please help me!!! I know its old software but it's what I have and would like it to work.
Thanks you!

You are seeing this Apple caused bug:
Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file? at startup / Tools act strangely.
There is a link to an unofficial Adobe fix.
Any word from Cupertino when this might get addressed?
edit:
10.6.7 is in sixth beta. I HOPE it addresses the bug affecting Photoshop:

Photoshop CS5 not working with Lucida Grande Regular font

On my iMac Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz, I am running OS 10.6.7.
When using Photoshop CS5, if I try to use the font, Lucida Grande Regular, it causes an error.
"Could not use the type tool because of a program error."
When I try to open an existing file that has type layers that include the font Lucida Grande Regular, Photoshop will not open the file. I have several of these files that I want to use. I can open them on another Macintosh and everything works fine.
First I get a message window that says, " Some text layers might need to be updated before they can be used for vector based output. Do you want to update these layers now?" I click on update and then get the following message. "Could not complete your request because of a program error."
I have updated Photoshop CS5 to the latest version, 12.0.4.
I have run the FontTest.jsx script and it shows an error for Lucida Grande Regular.
(IOError: General Photoshop error occurred. This functionality may not be available in this version of Photoshop.
- <no additional information available>)
The other 100+ fonts on my machine did not create errors.
Since Lucida Grande Regular is an essential font for Mac OS X, I re-installed OS 10.6 in order to have a new version of Lucida Grande Regular. After that re-install I am having the same problems with the font not working in Photoshop.
It also does not work with Adobe InDesign CS5. The font does work in Microsoft Word.
The program Font Book verifies Lucida Grande Regular.
Other fonts including, Lucida Grande Bold, work fine in Photoshop and InDesign.
What can I do to get Photoshop CS5 to work with Lucida Grande Regular?

Wow, I'm so glad I found this thread. This problem has been dogging me for years, and it's so sporadic that I've been afraid of breathing the wrong way lest I somehow incur that diabolical Program Error dialog. I'd managed to reach a truce with Photoshop CS5, getting it into a barely working state, and avoiding all updates... until Lion came along today. Then I updated to CS5 12.0.4, and the Program Errors were back again.
Now I see that the problem does seem to be related to the Lucida Grande font. If there's a layer with that font in it, not only can I not edit that text, but I can't marquee select anything, nor drag any shapes. Deleting caches and massaging fonts are completely ineffectual measures... but if I delete the Lucida layers entirely, we're back in business.
At least so far.
Funny to think that of all the innovations I'd like to see Photoshop adopt, the fixing of this one issue is the thing I'd like to see most. I'll be keeping my eye on this thread, and any updates by Mr. Cox.

Photoshop CS5 not printing correctly

I am trying to print a jpeg from Photoshop with no luck. I get a thumbnail sized image every time. One thing to note, if I use larger paper the thumbnail scales up.
HP Compaq 8100 Elite running Win 7 Pro x64 SP1
Adobe Photoshop CS5 patched to 12.0.4
Xerox Phaser 7760DN PS
Any help would be appreciated. Trouble shooting steps have included adjusting every print option I could find.

Xerox Phaser 7760DN PS
Well, PS stands for PostScript and there are multiple language levels/ versions of it. If the driver allows, choose a more compatible older one, e.g. level 2 in favor of level 3. Similarly, the printer itself or the driver may offer means to control how specific sub-sets are interpreted, for instance with regards to font handling. Such printing errors often come down to "bad" PostScript being misinterpreted by the printer. If all else fails, also look whether you can install it with PCL emulation or similar wit ha different driver. That may also work...

Photoshop CS5 not actually saving files to SMB shares

Since upgrading to OS X 10.6.6 (and still in 10.6.7) Photoshop CS5 will not reliably save documents to SMB shares on my file server. When I "Save As" a new document, Photoshop goes through all the motions of saving the file. It seems to complete successfully. No error messages. The asterix in the documents title bar disappears as if the file saved. If you command-click on the document's title bar icon it will display the file path properly, as if the file was properly saved and exists. If, however, you go to the folder on the server where the document was supposedly saved using the Finder (or on a Windows machine in the Windows Explorer) the file does not exist. It was never actually saved.
This seems to happen mostly with larger files (over, say, 100MB in size) as oppsed to smaller files. If I change my connection to the server to AFP as opposed to SMB(CIFS) the file saves correctly without any problems.
Has anybody else ever encountered this problem? I have only noticed this issue since upgrading past OS X 10.6.5.
Thanks!

This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
See:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

Photoshop cs5.5 - loaded on windows 8 - way too small! top and side

Hi,
I just loaded CS5 (and 5.5 updates) onto my windows 8 microsoft surface pro 3 computer.
the top and sides are soooo small you can't even read it.
I mainly use photoshop; but I loaded the entire web premium set of dvd's.
is there anything I can do?
thanks!

No, I'm on the Cloud now. I've owned Photoshop 5 (1998), 6, 7 CS CS2 CS3 CS4 CS6 CC and now CC 2014.
Just went from Windows to Mac.
Photoshop Elements is a permanent license. You buy it, you keep it. Elements has its' own forum where those who know the program will answer your question.
Anyway thanks for the "correct". You only give it out if anyone settles your questions and you need no further discussion. It closes the case.
"Helpful" awards 5 points towards a score and "like" is recognition of good information.

ITunes Video Podcasts and Photoshop CS5 not playing together.

i just got a MBP with all the trimmings and have been having a problem since i got it.
As a photographer I need Photoshop CS5 and have installed it as normal on my new MBP.
Every time I am playing a video podcast from my iTunes library and let's say I open CS5 to work side by side with a video tutorial, strange things happen like everything becomes sluggish, CS5 might **** down, the video will start and stop, the screen will change into a pixelated color mess.. i could go on but i think you get the idea. Most times when this happens, which is every time I open the two programs, I need to end up doing a hard shutdown as the computer becomes un responsive.
Now I can work on CS5 alone or with Lightroom and I can watch a video or video podcast alone but when I open up the two they can't seem to play together, at all...
I have been on with Apple tech support for the past 10 days, and even re installed my OS on Friday. Applecare told me to re - install the OS and try each program one at a time to try to identify the issue. As soon as I installed CS5 this started again.
i don't know if it's Adobe or Mac... i have an appt with the Apple Store tomorrow but would love some help from you before I go so we can hopefully come up with an answer.
Bottom line, I just switched to a top of the line $2500 Mac laptop from being a PC.
I can get by without Mac but can't get by without CS5... I am really bummed with my new Mac but really want to make it work..
Thanks, and advice would be great.

Two questions for video? Are they iPod compatible? iTunes should warn you if not. Where are you looking for the videos? Check under videos menu of iPod then video podcast menu.
With iPod plugged in, go to audiobooks tab. Is checkbox checked to include audiobooks?

Photoshop CS6 Not Loading: Actions & Preferences Errors

Photoshop CS6 has been working like a dream, and recently it has pushed some very large files.
But, upon trying to open Photoshop this morning, I get these two messages:
Could not load actions because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered.
Could not initialize Photoshop because the Preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted).
          - although the file was still in the AppData...Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings.
Tried to 'restore' Preferences:
Keyboard - CTRL ALT SHFT upon clicking PSD icon
Said 'Yes' to allow changes to system
Still received same two messages
Removed the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Prefs.psp
          Restarted Photoshop, still received same two messages.
          Tried resetting, CTL ALT SHFT, again still same two messages.
Read Adobe thread to 'rename' the Actions Palette.psp, but keep it in the folder:
I renamed it 'renamed' and left the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Prefs.psp in the folder as well.
Did not receive the 'load actions' error, but
Still received the 'Preference file was invalid' message.
Tried CTRL ALT SHFT to reset,
Still received the 'Preference file was invalid' message.
Left the Actions as 'renamed', but removed the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Prefs.psp file as well.
Still received the 'Preference file was invalid' message.
Tried CTRL ALT SHFT to reset,
Still received the 'Preference file was invalid' message.
Do I need to do a re-install?
Thanks bunches,

I am having only the single issue:
Could not initialize Photoshop because preferences files was invalid (it has been deleted).
What happened was that I had to do a force quit (Mac OSX 10.8.4) due to Spotlight and Parallels Win 7 running a system slowdown.   I don't believe my new HD is corrupted. BUt there has to be a way to get PShop working again.. I've tried shift start and not loading 3rd party plugins, but nothing is working.
UPDATE: Download and reinstall fixed it after uninstalling and removing preferences. However, you can't use the CC Applications Manager to do so. You have to do a direct download.

Photoshop Cs5 not opening files

I'm not actually completely sure if this is an issue with Mavericks because the problem started about 2 1/2 weeks ago, but my Photoshop Cs5 won't open files anymore. As soon as the app launches, I can click on "open..." but as I'm selecting the file, the window will close and after that, every choice on all the drop-down menus is grayed out and can no longer be selected. I've already installed Java for OS X 2012-006 with no luck, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling PS Cs5 with no luck. Help pleaseeeeeee D:

Reset your Photoshop preferences: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776
Uninstalling and reinstalling WON'T do that unless you used the CS Cleaner from Adobe to uninstall.
Also, check your Performance preferences:
Toggle OpenGL drawing, quitting Photoshop between changes.
