Photoshop CS6 & CC shuts down right after startup

Hello!
I've just got my self new lisence for adobe Lightroom, PS CC & CS6. Previously I had just PS CS5. Problem is that I can't get PS CS6 nor PS CC to start up, or more accurately to stay on more than one second. Now I'm asking help to get just the CS6 to work, as when that problem is solved, I believe also the CC -problem is solved too, as the problem is excatly the same. Lightroom works fine.
What happens when I now start up CS6; everything loads just fine, no errors or anything that is abnormal. At first time when I started CS6, I got a warning message (this is a translation from finnish to english so it might not be to the letter): "photoshop detected graphic cards that are not officially supported. If there are problems, remove the selection from settings, performance settings - use graphics processor". I haven't seen this message later (except when I tried CS6 with different windows account).
When cs6 (or cc) is started there's time about one second to open a menu window, when a window is succesfully opened the program stays on, and I can use any menu window that I want, and I can change any options. Right after menus are closed, the program closes. Mysterious. But, because of that, I'm able to go to the "performance settings" and try different selections - I've tried deselect the "use GPU", and I've tried to use all of the advanced settings (basic, normal, advanced), but the "USE OPENCL" choise is allways grayed out, and i'm not able to select that. Also cs6 detects my gpu right.
I thing this has something to do with GPU as the above message says, I just don't know what to try anymore.
Now what have I tried and what's done (using admin rights):
- updated both nvidia gpu drivers (three different drivers been tried) and intell drivers
- installation and removing
- removed ps cs5
- used adobe cleaning tool
- used two differend registry cleaning tools (cc cleaner / wise cleaner) before installations
- used shift when starting
- disabled the gpu sniffer
- tried logging out from creative cloud
- deleted FNTCACHE.DAT from /system32
- Tried different 3d settings from NVidia control panel only for the photoshop.exe (tried forcing Nvidia GPU, tried different cuda GPU settings

Hi!
Win 7 64bit, tried in safemode with networking enabled, no help, same issue.
One funny thing more, I opened a pdf -file through explorer in cc and it asked me if i wanted to save the changes before closing application. I couldn't do anything for the pdf file, except to save it. ;]
What I want to say is, CC (or CS6) is not crashing, it's closing itself.

Imac g5 shutting down right after startup

My computer had until today been operating perfectly. When I came into my office it was shut down ( I usually leave it on all the time). After restarting, I worked for about five minutes and then it suddenly shut down. The same thing recurred after 5 or 6 restarts before I gave up. Any suggestions? I assume this is an overheating or power supply issue.

This is the wrong forum for this topic, This is a forum for the new Intel iMacs.

Photoshop CS6 continually shuts down when I save a file I am working on. Any ideas how to fix this?

Photoshop CS6 continually shuts down on me when I go to save a file I am working on. I work primarily in this software, and this continual shut down happens at least 10+ times a day. Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!

Does that happen with that file only or with any other files as well?
Did you try to create a new file and save it?
What error message do you get? Please attach an error screenshot.
Which operating system do you use?
Since when are you facing this issue? Did it ever work before?
What changes did you make after which you are facing this issue?

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

Final Cut Express Shuts down right after capturing

Hello all:
I am using FCE 3.5. I have used this for about a year now and I have developed a problem with FCE shutting down right after I hit escape. I run a lab for a university and it is doing it on ALL of them so it isn't an isolated incident. I repair permissions, reset the PRAM, trashed the prefs and I don't know what else to do.
I am running imac G5's using 10.4.11 and the new imacs running leopard. Both sets are doing it.
Any help would be appreciated since our classes start soon.
Thank you.

Can you tie the crashes to a recent event: a software update, a new piece of hardware? What else is connected to the computers?
(You have, of course, triple-checked that the FCE Easy Setup matches the footage you're capturing, yes?)
After the program crashes, is the captured footage saved?
What's the lab setup? Does each student have an individual user account? On each computer?
Lots of questions, I know...
Here's a suggestion:
Use Disk Utility to repair permissions. Create a new admin account on one computer. Set the FCE Scratch Disk to the internal drive. Disconnect everything but the camera. Try to capture. See what happens.

Macbook pro 2012 shuts down right after start up!

macbook pro 2012 shuts down right after start up. I tried the recovery mode but disk doctor cannot repair Mac osX hard drive.This is the second time that I have to format hard drive and install agin all applications. please advise!

I am not familiar with "disk doctor" but if you used Disk Utility to repair or reformat the hard disk, and it failed again, it is very likely the drive itself needs to be replaced. It cannot be repaired.
If Disk Utility cannot repair a hard disk it definitely needs replacement.
All 2012 MacBook Pro models are less than a year old and therefore covered under Apple's standard one year warranty. Have them fix it.

Mac Mini auto shuts down shortly after startup chime...what should I do? Thanks.

Whenever it is powered up, the mac mini auto shuts down shortly after the startup chime. What's wrong. How can we fix it? Thanks a lot.

Troubleshooting: My computer won't turn on
Mac doesn't boot

MacBook Pro keeps shutting down immediately after startup chime

I booted into Windows 7 on my boot camp partition and was about to play Dirt 3 for the 1st time. I was in the options menu of the game and my MacBook Pro just shut down/turned off instantly.
I turned back on, holding in Option so I could boot into Windows again, but the computer just turned off immediately after the startup chime. I turned on again, this time I didn't hold in Option, so I could boot into OS X (my default startup volume) and the same thing happened - MBP shut down immediately after the startup chime. I tried again, same thing. I tried again, and this time it booted fine into OS X, and all seems ok.
Any idea what's going on?

Hi. When you were in the recovery drive doing permissions, did you try and run a repair of the boot drive? Did you try single user mode? Try these first and then go back and try to reinstall the operating system.When I say repair boot drive I don't mean permissions. There are both options in disk utilities.When you open disk utilities ,you will see in the left column two drives plus possibly a boot partition that look like an external driv. click on the second drive and in first aid use repair disk. If you still can't boot and it will not let you restore, you may have to do a clean install. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18869?viewlocale=en_US

PS5.1 shuts down right after opening file.

PS shutss down right after opening jpeg and other files. Win7 32bit.... What gives?

Most likely a bad font. Do you have any 3rd party fonts?
Also could be driver for video card, printer, scanner.
If these are all OK check your Event Log (see OS help)

Macbook shuts down right after update.

IMG_5528.jpeg
I downloaded the last update. When the Mac shut down and restarted to install the update.. The computer shuts down. Not sure what is going on. Hope someone can help
I attempted to add picture

Hi DBolick5,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your Mac is not starting up after installing an update, first try booting into Safe Mode:
Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
Starting up in Safe Mode
To start up into Safe Mode (to Safe Boot), follow these steps.
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key.
The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
After the logo appears, you should see a progress bar during startup. This indicates that your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.
To leave Safe Mode, restart your computer without holding any keys during startup.
Regards,
Jeremy

Mac book shuts down right after start up

my macbook shuts off after initial start up

Assuming no issues with power adapter or power source, do an SMC and PRAM reset. If those don't work, take it in to Apple for service.
SMC:
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM:
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Bondi iMac shuts down immediately after startup button light turns green

Is my Bondi blue baby (purchased at the midnight launch of the original iMac) finally dead?
When I push the startup button, it glows amber and the startup chime sounds. A few seconds later, the button glows green for an instant, and the power shuts off. The button then won't do anything unless I unplug the power supply for a few minutes and plug it back in.
I have tried using a paper clip to push the reset button, but to no avail. Also tried zapping the PRAM, as well as starting from a CD, but neither helped.
I know the unit has little value other than the sentimental, but my mother-in-law (who inherited it from me) is used to it and is hoping that I can bring it back to life.
Is there anything else I should try before carting it off to the recycling depot? Thanks!

Hey H S,
This is from the service manual for the Bondi:
"The battery on the logic board controls the stored system settings,
such as date and time. It is important to note that the battery does
not affect power at startup."
However this is from page 11 of the s. manual for the 400, SE and DV:
"7 Press the power on button on the front of the computer again.
If the computer won’t start, go to the next step. If the
computer does start, you may have a *bad battery*."
So I always check the battery. Altho' all the won't start cases I've seen where the battery was the cause did not exibit the starts up and shuts down symptom.
Also from the manual:
"Resetting the logic board can resolve many system problems (see
the Symptom/Cure tables for examples). Whenever you have a
unit that fails to power up, you should follow this procedure
before replacing any modules.
1. Unplug the computer.
2. Disconnect the cable that runs from the power supply to the
power filter board on the bottom side of the logic board/mass
storage chassis.
3. Press the Power On button on the front of the unit.
4. Remove the logic board/mass storage chassis from the unit.
5. Remove the battery from the logic board.
6. Wait at least 10 minutes before replacing the battery.
7. Make sure the battery is installed in the correct +/-
direction.
8. Reassemble the computer and test the unit."
There are protection circuits in the iMac and usually a bad PAV ( flyback and HV caps in particular) are the cause of this particular failure symptom.

Powerbook shuts down immediately after startup

Hi
Our PowerBook has started to automatically sleep immediately after starting up or being woken from its sleep.
For some reason prior to starting up it has always run through a black screen with code similar to the initial DOS code that you'd see on a Windows PC.
This code stays on screen just long enough to read a message that indicates temperature issues, however the mac is not hot in any way.
We also find that if it is shut down for a long period, it will start and run some time before giving up and going back to sleep.
Our guess is that there is a temperature sensor malfunction of some kind. If this is so, what can we do to resolve this.
Craig

There have been many discussions about this problem in these forums, but unfortunately the search feature is currently disabled. However, if you feed Google with the appropriate keywords (e.g. PowerBook narcolepsy temperature sensor) you will find lots of material on this topic including potential cures.

My Creative Suite CS6 products shut down immediately after I open them. They were working fine before. What happened? What can I do to fix this?

I bought a boxed version of Creative Suite CS6 (Design & Web Premium) in March and all the products were working fine for a few months. But now they shut down as soon as I open them. Any advice??

It sounds like something changed on your system to cause the problem. You should not have to sign up for Creative Cloud.
The safe thing to do would be to first clean up your copies of CS6 with the Adobe Cleaner tool:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Then reinstall with a clean file. You can download it here:

Used safe start to try and fix issues with safari on MacBook Pro but it shuts down right after it stops. What can I do.

Safari kept shutting down and someone suggested trying a safe start to correct issue. All this did was create a new oils sue as my MacBook Pro OS X 10.9.1 system only begins the safe start within lay a small portion of the bar filling and then shuts down. Now I cannot even get back to my regular screen.

artbyval,
what is an “oils sue”?
Have you tried booting into your recovery partition? To do so, hold down a Command key and the R key as you start up. It should eventually show a Mac OS X Utilites menu, from which Disk Utility can be selected. In Disk Utility, select the disk that your MacBook Pro boots from (typically named “Macintosh HD”). Once the disk is selected, press the “Verify Disk” button; if it shows problems, press the “Repair Disk” button. Once the verification/repair is complete, restart normally, to see if you can login as normal. Once you can log in again, see if Safari still has the same problem with shutting down.
