Photoshop CS5 trial will not open - "illegal seek" message

I have Mac OS X 10.7.3 installed. The Adobe Download Assistant is stuck in extracting mode, which I can't seem to get rid of even after deleting the Adobe Download Assistant dmg and reinstalling it. Since I was not able to open the Photoshop CS5 dmg (I received the illegal seek message), I deleted it. I have tried redownloading the Adobe Download Assistant, but I can't seem to get it out of its extracting state. What do I do? I have tried 2 different internet connections also... since I saw that was recommended on someone else's post that had the same issue.
Thanks

  • Hi please can you help me. I have photoshop CS5 extended, I bought a new camera Nikon D610 I want to edit my photos adobe camera raw , but when I try to open photoshop CS5 it will not open. Please can you tell me how to download and install the camera raw

    HI bought a new camera Nikon D610 , I am using adobe photoshop CS5 extended, I want to edit my photos in camera raw but it is not possible to do so . I need to download camera raw plugin for CS5 can some tell me how to do so or if there is a link for the camera plugin.
    Many thanks Pitt.

    For that Nikon model you need ACR 8.3 that means CS6 or CC.  Or you can download the DNG converter convert your Nikon RAW files to Adobe RAW files. And then process the Adobe RAW files with CS5 ACR version  6.7

  • Photoshop CS5 suite will not open files or any pictures

    We are seeing a problem with our CS5 suite with Photoshop only. The actual Photoshop program will open and allow us to browse the menus, but we cannot open and recent files, or open any new pictures with it. Also we are not able to create a new file with Photoshop.
    We have reinstalled the CS5 suite twice now with now changes. We have also verified that the CS5 suite is up to date with all the latest updates and patches needed. All other parts of the CS5 suite work on the computer.
    Please let us know what other information you may need to help resolve this problem we are faced with.
    Thank you very much!

  • Photoshop CS4 Trial Will not start. Error message will pop up saying ...

    "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application."
    -CS4 Photoshop

    I've been at this for days, I've uninstalled, reinstalled, clean scripted, everything i could think of. I have no luck with anything! What is strange is that Bridge will still work, but just Photoshop alone won't.
    If anyone could help .. in anyway at all, it would be greatly appreciated!

    Bridge is not tied to any restrictions in terms of activation or requiring specific components to be in place, hence it almost always works. Do you correctly run the install with administrative privileges?

  • CS5.5 will not open...

    So I just re-installed CS5.5 on my computers, (clean install, I used Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool to remove any previous versions) and every other Adobe application opens except for Adobe Flash Professional, Adobe Flash Builder and Adobe Flash Catalyst.
    I went into AppData and checked for fontinfo.txt, but because Flash never ran; it isn't there.
    I also tried waiting for Flash to open, but whenever I wait, it closes itself.
    ** EDIT **
    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1

    Anyone else having a problem with this?
    Thanks in advance

    I'm sorry, this is not an answer but another person with the same issue.
    My Flash CS3 works fine, I have installed the trial Flash CC and it runs fine, but my Flash CS5.5 will not open either.  I have tried similar things you have, all of my other CS5.5 programs open and after a lengthy Norton check it has not found a virus.
    If anyone has found a resolution it would be greatly appreciated.

  • Saving a Photoshop CC project from a Mac (in .PSD format) to a thumb drive and trying to transfer it to a Dell laptop with Photoshop CS6.  Will not open...Error message: could not complete your request because it is not a valid photoshop document.

    Saving a Photoshop CC project from a Mac (in .PSD format) to a thumb drive and trying to transfer it to a Dell laptop with Photoshop CS6.  Will not open...Error message: could not complete your request because it is not a valid photoshop document.

    The file was corrupted somewhere along the way (assuming it was still readable on the Macintosh).
    The platforms don't matter, but you still need file transfer that doesn't corrupt files...

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 will not open photo files

    Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 will not open photo files

    You are rude, to say the least.  It is adobe's fault for marketing it as compatible.  Yet another reason why I want nothing to do with adobe.  The fact they marketed it as compatible when it is not is what I have a problem with.  I am not blaming the software, I am blaming the company.

  • Photoshop elements 6 will not open!

    Purchased photoshop elements 6.  My dad has that one and recommended it for what I want to do with photos.  It was the only elements in our budget and since my dad uses it, I figured instant help should I need it.
    I tried installing it.  It said it was installed, but it will not open.  Tried uninstalling it then reinstalling it and restarting computer.  Did not work.  Tried to run it as an administrator.  Did not work.
    I have windows vista 64 bit.
    If I can't get this to work, I know I won't be buying anything from adobe ever again and will tell all my friends that want to get into editing their photos to stay far, far, far away from photoshop elements.

  • My recently purchased Photoshop Elements 12 will not open.

    My recently purchased Photoshop Elements 12 will not open. Clicking to open, will not reveal the usual “edit” or “organize” choice windows. Only the main “edit” working window opens. In a moment, a smaller window within will also open. It states “Photoshop Elements 12 Editor 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 am running it on a Dell laptop with six gigs of RAM and a Core i5 processor.
    Should I attempt to reinstall? During original installation, the only thing I was not asked was to give blood! So, if reinstalling on the same machine is the solution, will Adobe allow this?
    Thanks,
    Frank

    I have tried and failed.  It was loaded from disc just purchased at Best buy.  It loaded fine but will not start up at all.  I have looked for the launch program and tried other methods but no success yet.

  • Photoshop Elements 7 will not open

    Photoshop Elements 7 will not open.  Indicates an error message upon trying to
    open application in Windows Vista.

    Can you try some of teh trubleshooting steps at this link http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm.
    Also try this once:
    On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
    Go  to c:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements  9\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain  plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere  else.
    Now launch PSE and check if it works. Let me know your comments.
    Thanks,

  • I recently bought an Epson Artisan 837 printer. I installed the driver and now Photoshop from CS3 will not open. It quits when the Twain portion of the program starts loading. Does anyone know how to fix this so my printer will work with Photoshop??

    I recently bought an Epson Artisan 837 printer. I installed the driver and now Photoshop from CS3 will not open. It closes every time it gets to the point where it is loading the Twain portion. Does anyone know how to fix this so my printer and Photoshop will work together? Thanks for any help I can get!

    You're welcome. 
    But, no, don't look to  Epson for fixes to their  driver in newer versions, and Adobe has deprecated the TWAIN plug-in.  Hoping for a solution there is futile.  That has not happened and it's never going to happen.  The consensus is that it's pretty foolish to tie up Photoshop to scan.  Honestly.
    Any improvement in the behavior of newer versions of the Epson drivers in that regard would be pure coincidence.
    You need to understand that you never, ever scan "within" Photoshop, as Photoshop has no scanning capabilities whatsoever.  When you use the Import > Twain plug-in all you are doing is blocking Photoshop while you call up the stand-alone Epson scanning software.  If you think about it, its most inefficient.
    VueScan has a pretty powerful scanning plug-in that can be called from the Impost menu—if you insist.  VueScan is not free, but it's a pretty good value, IMO.
    As for the Epson CD printing software, I have no clue.  Sorry. 

  • Photoshop from LR will not open

    When I am in LR and want to edit using photoshop the program will not open directly. In LR, I click on the photo, choose "edit in photoshop", a pop up box opens asking me to choose what to open. I click "edit a copy with LR adjustments and then PS does not open. Any suggestions?

    I was also having this issue, and I did some more searching and found this answer in the Adobe forums: Re: Photos from Lightroom 5 to Photoshop CC (2014) and back.... The issue appears to be caused by having not updated Lightroom to the latest version prior to having CC2014 installed (wow that's stupid). The trick seems to be to uninstall Photoshop CC2014 and to then reinstall it after having upgraded to Lightroom 5.5.
