  • Ai CS4 keeps freezing when I try to open a file - HELP!!!

    Mac OS X Tiger - Ai CS4 freezes when I try to open a file from either dbl-clicking on the file or opening within Ai. This happened all the time with Ai CS3 so I upgraded, now its happening with the new version. Do I need to allocate more memory to Ai?  If yes, how do I do that? I worked when I first installed, but now it will not allow me to open any of my files.  I do not receive an error message, and I have to force quit the app after it freezes. Can anyone help me with this problem?

    Download OnyX, clean out your system caches and repair permissions. If it occurs in eitehr version of AI, it hardly qualifies for the usual trash the prefs, but of course that is never wrong, too...

  • Illustrator & Photoshop CS3 Freeze When I Try to Open a Document

    I have CS3 installed, and just since yesterday, when I open photoshop or illustrator and then try to open a document (just from file-open), the entire program freezes and won't let me click anywhere. I have to ctrl-alt-del to get the program closed. I have restarted my computer numerous times. If I don't have photoshop or illustrator open and go to my computer and find the file I want to open and double-click on it, it will open that document. But while that document is open, if I go to file-open, it then freezes again. Anyone know how to fix this?

    That is I take it Pages '06? Which is a bit long in the tooth.
    I'm trying unsuccessfully to find the minimum requirement for OSX 10.6, but yours may not be compatible with Snow Leopard.
    Your contacts are no doubt using either Pages '08 or Pages '09 which as later versions can open yours but you can not open theirs.
    Updating from Pages '06 is a no brainer IMHO.

  • Adobe Reader X freezes when I try to open recent files

    When I try to open recent files, Adobe Reader X will freeze up and will stay that way until I restart the computer. Even logging off won't work. I recently left it alone for around 5-10 minutes and Windows finally did end up stopping the process, but this is not normal. Any ideas for a fix?

    Nope. That didn't do it. It won't even let me end the process AcroRd32.exe. I confirmed that after around 10 minutes, it finally closed on it's own. I just also confirmed that it's a problem with accessing files on my network, not local files. The odd thing is that I can use the Open tool, go the folder and open that file fine, but when I try to open the same file under the recent files, it freezes up. This may have to do with the fact that this is a mapped network drive. Any fix would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • Photoshop CC crashes when I try to open a file. CS6 is working fine?

    When I go to open a file (any file, jpeg, psd, tif) Photoshop CC launches and begins the process of starting up. The file image appears for a brief moment then the program closes (aka crashes) and that's it. I then try CS6 and it opens the file just fine. Has anyone seen this before and found a fix?
    Thank you.

  • Why does cs6 freeze when i try to open a psd file?

    I have two files that will not open, the program just freezes and i have to control alt delete out. how can i open this file?

    These file may be corrupt if Photoshop CS6 works otherwise.  If you upload them to a file sharing server and post a link to them I will download them and see if I can open them in the versions of Photoshop I have installed on my machines.

  • I can't set the photoshop CS6 as a default program to open jpg file on my windows 7 64bit computer?

    I reintalled 3 times for CS6 but the default program associated with jpg file still is unknown application.
    I try to change the default program, I can see the photoshop cs6 icon at the Adobe program folder.
    But just can be selected.

    I would recommend contacting Adobe Tech Support for this as playing with registry is quite dangerous , your computer may crash.
    Still if you want to try , first create the System Restore point and Backup your Registry , just incase something goes wrong.
    In regedit: Navigate to Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications and find your .exe name.
    Navigate under its name to shell>open>command. In the Default change its location to the actual location of the executable, hit okay and then try and reassociate the file type as you normally would.

  • Why does Photoshop 6 crash when I try to open a file?

    After opening Photoshop 6 I click on "open" to open a file. sometimes the program just closes down, and sometimes it opens a folder but I then get "Photoshop has encountered a problem and needs to close." Effectively, I no longer have the use of the software. What can I do to eliminate this problem?
    (I am using Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3.)

    Is that photoshop 6 or photoshop cs6?
    I'd reset the photoshop preferences by holding down the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys just after starting the launch of photoshop.
    Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the adobe photoshop settings file.
    Press Yes because you do.

  • I can't open Nikon D800.nef (raw) files in my Photoshop CS6 (64 bit), however, I can open .jpg files

    I just purchased and installed Photoshop CS6 (64 bit) to use with my Nikon D800.  However, I can't open the .nef (raw) files but the .jpg files from the same camera will open.  What do I need to do to open .nef files from the D800?

    Hello! By default, Photoshop CS6 cannot open the NEF from a D800, you need to have at least Camera Raw 7.1, as explained in this document: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    Go to the Help menu, and select "updates" and you'll launch the Adobe Updater that should suggest to install Camera Raw 7.2 that supports the D800, and many other cameras.

  • Why Does photoshop quit unexpectedly when i try to open a file from my desktop?

    I've always been able to do it previously but today i've had to reinstall all my files and applications (long story) and now for some reason it won't open any files from the desktop.
    It seems to be fine if i open the same file from my documents so it just seems strange.
    If anyone knows why its doing this that would be great

    You mean it crashes?
    We can't tell you why it's crashing without seeing the detailed crash log.
    But first, make sure you have all the updates installed.

  • Photoshop CS5 freezes when I try to open photomerge

    I am using PS CS5.1 from the Creative suit 5.5 design premium on an iMac with the 10.7 Lion operating system. The latest 12.1 photoshop update has been installed.

    Boilerplate-text:
    As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by pressing command-alt-shift on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
    System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html
    Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)
    If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.

  • My MAC freezes everytime I try to open a picture in Chrome.

    Every time I try to "save as" a picture in Chrome, my MAC freezes in Chrome.  I can click outside of Chrome and use the picture, but cannot get Chrome to comeback, even if I Force Quit and restart it.  Also, doing a soft "Restart" will not fix the problem...I have to manually press the on/off button of the MAC to be able to use Chrome again.
    I guessed OS X (10.6.7) on the operating system (because I always install the latest updates)...I was unable to get any response when I clicked on "About this MAC".
    Any help is appreciated!!!

    You have posted in the PPC iMac forum. Chrome does not run on PPC Macs, only on Intel macs.
    If you are really running Snow Leopard 10.6 you have an Intel Mac as Snow Leopard does not run on PPC macs.
    So no confusion here at all!
    But either way, you have made a good case for getting rid of Chrome!
