Photoshop CS6 didn't detect my VGA after installing Catalyst 13.6

I have a ATI Radeon HD 5670 (640 sp version). Yesterday I updated my VGA driver from Catalyst 13.4 to Catalyst 13.6 (driver code 13.101) and Photoshop CS6 stopped detecting my VGA. Now I can't enable any GPU-related features to improve the performance anymore. When I tried running sniffer_gpu in cmd, it reported correctly but the "system info" tool in Photoshop still didn't recognize my VGA. I tried rolling back to the old driver and even tried uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop but the problem still persisted. Please help me
My system:
- Intel E2200
- 2GB RAM
- ATI Radeon HD 5670 640sp
- Catalyst 13.6 (13.4)
- Windows 7 pro 32 bit

Am I mistaken or does that screen shot say you are running an illegal, cracked version of Photoshop ("Portable") ?
Apologies in advance if I'm misreading the info.

Photoshop CS6 does not detect display adapter after upgrading to Windows 8

Hi, I just upgraded my 3 year old Dell XPS 16 which came with a AMD (ATI) Radeon HD 5730 (1GB) graphics card to Windows 8 (along with a new SSD hard drive), and reinstalled CS6, and now I get messages that the program is no longer detecting my dedicated graphics card. I updated the drivers from both Dell and AMD, and I get the same result.The Graphics Processor Seting box is greyed out in Preferences, and it says it detected an error in my display driver. Everything was fine with the same graphics card under Windows 7.
I suspect that when Windows 8 was installed it installed a generic AMD driver, and even though I have updated it from Dell and AMD several times, something is not quite right because I can't find the AMD Catalyst Control Center. So it might be a WIndows 8 & AMD issue, but I don't really know for sure.
If anyone has any ideas how to get the graphics driver working properly for CS6 I'd be very happy.
Thanks

Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice.
I finally gave up and called Dell (thank god for my 3 year XPS warranty). Screen shared with a techncian who was surprisingly knowledgeable, and even though he tried updating different versions of the driver for about an hour, he finally suceeded when he went through this link on the AMD site, using the driver verification tool:
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonmob_win7-64.aspx#1
Then he downloaded the file:
13-1_mobility_vista_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc_whql
He was finally able to load up Catalyst Control Center and the proper AMD driver. CS6 now sees the graphics adapter.
Hopefully this thread helps some other poor W8 upgrader like me.

GDM doesn't show up anymore after installing catalyst, Xorg works fine

Hi,
I just installed catalyst-hook from Vi0L0 and my situation is this: when I boot my computer the output on the tty1 gets stucked after the checking the filesystem with systemd-fsck and nothing appears after that, no blinking cursor, no prompt that asks me for a login, no nothing, nothing progress in both textual and graphic modes ; however, if I switch to the 2nd terminal with ALT + F2 I can login and start Xorg via the usual
startx
and apparently no session is ever being initiated before that so whatever is happening on tty1 must prevent xorg from even starting a new session.
What I tried
The main problem is that I have absolutely no idea what this is about, It could be anything ranging from modprobe to gdm, but since I have an audio card that only works properly when the appropriate configuration in
/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
gets loaded and I can even start a desktop session, I'm assuming that the core stuff on my system ( kernel modules and Xorg ) is working properly .
[ Test 1 ]
aticonfig --acpi-services=off
doesn't fix anything and doesn't make a difference at all
[ Test 2 ]
/etc/gdm/custom.conf
# GDM configuration storage
[daemon]
AlwaysRestartServer=true
[security]
[xdmcp]
[greeter]
[chooser]
[debug]
Apparently this should fix the same problem experienced by KDM users; as far as I can tell this changes nothing .
Bottom line
I can't get to the GDM login anymore after installing catalyst-hook, I can use the fglrx without any major issue, I can start a desktop session with startx from tty2 and tty1 gets stuck before anything "graphical" can actually appear on the screen and probably non even Xorg gets any chance of running on tty1 .
What kind of problem is this ?

What happens with another different DM?
Also I can't find that package with pacman, I also would like to fix this by myself, not because I don't trust the author of the package, but I just don't want to install too many packages and for the core things I would like full access to the essential configuration .
Anyway it looks like that GDM is the problem this round.
You won't find it with pacman, because it is in the AUR and you will to compile it to install it.

OS Yosemite and Photoshop CS6 didn't work correctly

After i have been update to Yosemite, i notified that during painting in Photoshop CS6(13.02) using brush, i can't some time use my short keys on wacom tablet and on keyboard too. After i turn another tool then back to brush, shortcuts works well. Also most nervouse thing happening its during drawing i use color picker tool by shortkey and when i press out button "alt' its has some delay before it turn on to brush again, about 1-2 sec. Why? On last OS before updating it works well.
Any suggestions?

If you are having problems with CS3 on Yosemite, it's likely the same situation as CS5. Reinstall CS3 and updates.

Reinstalling Photoshop CS6 and/or is it necessary if installing CC

I tried to update Photoshop CS6, but got a U44M1P7 error which said I had to uninstall the app and then reinstall it. Great, I uninstalled it, but it is still listed as being there under Applications. How can I reinstall it? Secondly, do I even need to if I install the CC suite of software?

Hi AuronV,
If you can still see the app that you have uninstalled in AAM / Creative Cloud please try: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html
If you need more information on uninstallation try: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs6-install-instructions.html#id_8480
If you have CC software then there is now specific need to have CS6 software on your machine, still it's your choice whether you want to have it or not.
In case your are still getting error U44M1P7 try: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-u44m1p7-installing-updates-ccm.html

Is Photoshop CS6 extended usefull if I have already installed the CC version ?

It seems useless to keep Photoshop CS6 extended version installed on my computer, now that I have installed as well, the CC version. Right ?

It's totally up to you whether you want to have both Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CC installed, or just the CC version. Either is fine

Photoshop CS6 no longer detects graphics driver

Hello,
For some reason, most of the GPU features in photoshop (scrubby zoom, 3d, etc) no longer works for me. When I checked in the Preference->Performance tab, nothing shows up on the "Detected Graphics Processor" tab. I have no idea what could've caused it other than a crash, and a windows 8.1 update. It used to work just fine, and now it just won't detect the driver no matter what.
I run Windows 8.1 64bit with NVIDIA GeForce GT720M as my graphics card. I believe my resolution/other specs are not a problem, since as I've said before it used to work just fine before the crash.
I have tried updating the driver, rollbacking the driver, updating it again, tinkering with the NVIDIA control panel, reinstalling photoshop, resetting photoshop preferences, everything. Nothing changed.
When I tried running the sniffer_gpu.exe, however, I was met with this message:
Could not connect. Error code = 0x80041002
Vendor string:         NVIDIA Corporation
Renderer string:     GeForceGT720M/PCIe/SSE2
Version string:        2.1.2
OpenGL version as determined by extensionator...
OpenGL Version 2.0
Has NPOT support: TRUE
Has Framebuffer Object Extension support: TRUE
OpenGL ok
Does the error code has anything to do with it? I tried updating the driver multiple times and it persists, and I've also tried renaming the sniffer_gpu.exe itself
Help would be much appreciated.. I've tried everything I could find online and nothing helped. Do tell if you need more info regarding my device. Thank you.

No, I've been using win 8.1 all along and it worked fine at first. One day the OS just froze though, forcing me to do a forced reset (pressing the power button). I don't really know if that was the cause, but it's one of the only 'major' things that happened that could've possibly caused the problem. That, or a win8.1 update.
I have just tried fixing registries too, but to no avail. I tried updating nvidia to the newest version, rollbacking and updating again, but I have actually yet to reinstall nvidia. I guess I'm going to do that now...
Edit: I missed some lines on the sniffer_gpu.exe output
OpenGL ok, version 1.1 CUDA 4.2.1
Return code: 3

Photoshop (CS6 64Bit) wont detect GPU (GTX 590)

This just recently started happening, before it was fine. But now when I go to enable OpenGL, it says it doesn't detect my card (GTX 590). The drivers are updated as well. Is there a way to force photoshop to use OpenGL?

A driver update? If windows, then check the driver's date in device manager.
301.42 was released on 22nd May, which sounds recent to me.
I am using a GTX570 but with a much earlier driver, and I have issues that I am aware of.

Photoshop CS6 can't save to server after upgrading to Mac OS Yosemite Server from Mac Lion Server

We recently upgraded our server from a Mac Pro 2008 with OS X Lion Server to a Mac Mini 2014 with LaCie 20TB 5Big Thunderbolt 2 RAID drive. Everything is working fine with the exception of Photoshop. It does it intermittently but once it happens it will continue to do so. We get message like "Can't save to disk because of disk error" and "Can't save file because of program error" . Sometime we are able to do a "save as" and save over it. Most of the time we have to "save as" with a different file name and then rename and recopy the file. We have check permission on all the file as well as the server HD has ignore ownership checked. Again only three things changed. 1) Sever hardware change from Mac Pro to Mac Mini. 2) Server software upgraded from 10.7 Lion to 10.10 Yosemite(both have the latest update). 3) Drive when from internal on Mac Pro to External Thunderbolt 2 LaCie drive. We have no problem with Illustrator or Indesign. Only Photoshop. Anyone with any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately you seem to be using Photoshop in a way that Adobe discourages, so you may not be getting a lot of helpful advice.

My adobe photoshop cs6 extended crashes on start up after without having any errors

My PC specs are: intel core i7 3.40 ghz
32gb of ram
asus gtx 660ti gpu
120gb ssd
4tb harddrive

Mine is too and I noticed it coincides with their update to Creative Cloud. Worked just fine last night, no issues. Today can't do anything. Trying to get answers from them now. So frustrated.

I still can't download and install photoshop CS6. How do I download and install and how can I back it up to avoid doing this from the website again?

I already asked and didn't get a very good response. I'm getting frustrated. I paid for CS6 I had it downloaded on my cintiq companion, and then I had to return my cintiq because it was faulty. I have my new one now and need to download CS6 again so I can get to work. I downloaded a free trial of winzip to see if that would help but just got a ton of random files and nothing to click on to install once I downloaded it again. Where can I just plain download and install CS6 again?
In addition is there a way to back it up on a hard drive for future reinstallation if necessary so I don't have to go through all this crap again next time? REALLY hoping for a speedy response. Thank you.

Only Premiere Pro CC and CS6 won't launch on startup after installing CC 2014

Ever since I downloaded CC, I cannot open Premiere Pro on CC or CS6 -- which CS6 worked fine before. However, all other installed apps on CC work fine, including After Effects. My specs are all up to date, (2012 Macbook Pro, 8GB RAM, 64-bit, etc) and figure there's some kind of bug within Premiere. My Adobe preference folder is set to Read&Write and don't know what to do. I have read that people downloaded and ran CC Cleaner but to no avail to fix the underlying issues. Need help ASAP. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Launch Premiere while holding the Option key on the keyboard. If that doesn't help, try this:
Go to the following locations:
Location 1: When in Finder, click on Go > Go to Folder > ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Location 2: Go > Go to Folder > ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe
Location 3: Documents > Adobe
In all the locations, rename the 'Adobe' folders to 'OldAdobe'
Launch Premiere, accept the License Agreement and see if it works.
Note: You will lose your customized workspaces and keyboard shortcuts.
Thanks,
Rameez

Photoshop CS6 beta hangs my macbook pro during install

It always starts the install but hangs at about 40 to 50% into the install. The whole macbook pro freezes including force quit and a hard boot is necessary. Any ideas as to how to resolve this issue

Try the following in order:
1.) Unmount all the other DMGs (if any) and then try with only Adobe PS CS6 DMG mounted.
2.) Reboot the system and then try.
3.) Copy the PS CS6 installer files to a folder on desktop from DMG and then try to launch the installer from the locally copied installer.
Let us know if any of these works.
