Photoshop CS5 opens but without the chosen picture

After choosing a picture (jpg) in Bridge CS5 to be opened in Photoshop CS5 Photoshop is being started but keeps empty. The picture isn't opened. If I choose 5 pictures there will be opened 5 empty instances of Photoshop but no picture will be opened. I notice this behaviour since having updated to Raw 6.4.
Any ideas? Thank you Hans-Georg

Hi Noel,
i just tried to see a rule in what Photoshop does, but it is not always the same that happens.
First I marked 5 jpgs in Explorer an tried to open with rightclicking an choosing "open". --> Photoshop was opened and all pictures were shown. I closed Photoshop.
Second I opened Bridge and marked five jpgs and tried to open them with rightclicking and choosing open with Photoshop. --> Photoshop opened but without any picture. Photoshop keeps open...
Third I tried to open one single picture via dubbleclick in explorer.--> another Photoshop opened but without the picture.
Fourth I tried to open two PSD-files via marking and rightclicking and choosing "open". --> two other instances of Photoshop opened without pictures.
At last I tried to open 5 jpgs via marking and rightclicking and choosing "open" (in Explorer). --> five other instances of Photoshop opened without pictures.
so this looks strange:
what I'm wondering about:
normally if Photoshop is already opened, every additionally clicked picture will be opened in this one Photoshop-instance.
Why does Photoshop open without opening the picture?
It drives me crazy because I have to edit a lot of pictures during the day and the usual workflow doesn't work...
Any other ideas? Thanks in advance Hans-Georg

When I click on Safari Icon it opens,but under the Desktop picture.How can I get it on top,so I could see it?

I would open a guest account and see if the problem persist in this new enviroment.
Boot into Safe Boot Mode and see if the problem is present, this turns off third party plug-in's and extentions.
This will give us something to go on and recommend the next step.

Hi mariad91843143,
To enable the non-destructive workflow and the powerful features of Photoshop CC, the RAW image will need to be opened into Photoshop whilst, in the meantime, keeping our Lightroom changes so that we can work on them later. Instead of using the ‘Edit in Adobe Photoshop’ option in Lightroom – CMD +E (Mac) or CTRL +E (PC) – the option ‘Open as Smart Object in Photoshop’ will be used.
This is a very useful tutorial to understand how to manage the workflow between Photoshop and Lightroom Canon Professional Network - Lightroom & Photoshop CC workflow (Pt. 1): Smart Objects ....

There is no such thing as a "pay once, use forever CC". It's strictly a subscription model that you can use as long as you pay for it. Your CS5 will give you a discount for the first year.

Dreamviewer CS5 opens but shuts down right after first view again and again...without no error information

I have Adobe Premium CS5 for MAC. My Dreamviewer CS5 opens but shuts down right after first view again and again. With no error information.
I have tried to download it again (web download link) with reopening the computer, but still it does not work.
Did not ask any serial numbers at all so I assume I was able to "smell" existing program on computer.
As Dreamviewer is part of bigger package, do i have to install only this program, web design set or what?
Do I have to download some other programs to get it work? All other graphic and web programs open and work properly.
What to do? Will it install it again if not uninstalled first?

For something like this, I would try clearing the program cache first: Deleting a corrupted cache file
Then restore preferences if the cache trick didn't work: Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6
And finally, if neither work, reinstalling using the cleaner tool instructions here: Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

Hi
I actually dont think its Lion (sorry i put that as couldn't remember) as not on that computer at the moment, its at home, I am at work. I know CS2 is compatable with whatever OS I am using because I can using CS2 indesign etc and I was able to use CS2 photoshop until I updated the Camino browser (I believe this is when it stopped working). I have CS5 but it wont work at all on my Powerbook G4.
I can send a message later with the OS I am using and maybe you can suggest other help? They told me in the MAC shop to try and get the installation discs. They also said I would be able to get these via Apple's 'media replacement programme' which I cannot find anyway! To be honest, I am not even sure getting the install discs will work but I'll try whatever I need to try and get Photoshop working on it again!
Thanks

Whenever I reply to an e-mail the window comes up but without the paper airplane in the top left corner. The only way to send the reply is to close it and save as a draft. Then I can pull it up from Drafts and it has the airplane on it.

IPhoto opens but then the spinning rainbow wheel appears and I can't do anything. I have opend iPhoto with the Option key pressed and rebuilt the library and it still happens. I want to at least access my photos and copy them to an external drive.

iPhoto opens but then the spinning rainbow wheel appears and I can't do anything. I have opend iPhoto with the Option key pressed and rebuilt the library and it still happens. I want to at least access my photos and copy them to an external drive. Anyone have ideas on how to get to them?

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
