Photoshop cs6 - How do you stop the "Help Improve Adobe's Products" window from appearing?

EVERY time I open Photoshop CS6 I get the damn "Help Improve Adobe's Products" box appearing. I've clicked 'Participate' and answered all the questions ... I've pressed 'Do Not Participate' ... many times ! 
The darn window still opens every time I open PS6 .... driving me nuts!!
PS ... on a Mac ... in Australia.
There must be a way of getting rid of it ...
AND ... further ... on one of my machines ... my Mac Air ... for a while Photoshop CS6 would HANG completely (spinning beach ball) when the "Help Improve Adobe's Products" window opened BUT with no text in the box ... yup ... CS6 hung when the box opened completely empty of text !!
Would not like that to happen whilst on an assignment 'on the road' !!!
Plaese advise !!! Thanks

I am told MacKeeper causes problems. Hopefully you did not install that.
The only idea remaining is to uninstall/clean/reinstall.
Let's go over that:
No need to deactivate, so skip that.
In your CS6 folder is a shortcut to the uninstaller. I would like you to check "Remove Preferences" when you run the uninstaller.
When that's done, download the CS-CC Cleaner for the Mac.  Run that.
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
As far as your Mac goes, Run Disk Utility on your volume.
Verify Disk
Repair Permissions.
Then reinstall CS6 and updates.
It's is a "nuke and pave" approach, but if you do not want to be messing with internals you do not understand, it's the best way to go.

  • How do you stop the help window from floating to the top?

    Is there way to change the help window's behavior so that it acts like a normal window?
    It takes so long to set up seeing the problem and the help at the same time, then go back to reading and then back again.
    The floating to the top is a very unwellcome "Feature" and microsoft-like not Apple-like.

    That depends on your POV. Some may prefer the default behaviour, because it doesn't allow the help window to be hidden by the working window.
    Also, keep in mind that you can use the Minimise (yellow) button in the window's title bar.
    However, if you really want to change the default floating window, there is a preference you can change with the defaults command:
    $ defaults write com.apple.helpviewer NormalWindow -bool true
    Alternatively, you can enable Help Viewer's developer mode
    $ defaults write com.apple.helpviewer DevMode -bool true
    (See

  • How do you have the help file .chm hold its window position when the user resizes the help window.

    One of my customers is complaining that the help contents will scroll out of view when the window is resized.  Is there a way to anchor the position while the window is resized?

    My CHM is a help file for an application. The application uses F1 to open specific topics for help.  Therefore the help file needs to be visible but not cover the application to much. The Content in this situation is text however the help project contains Images, tables, text, etc. 
    If the user searches for the word "audio" in the search and it takes them to a section or sub topic that is half way down in the Topic, they would like that section or subtopic to stay in the same place as they resize the help window.  Using Bookmarks if the topic is large enough clicking the search link will place the results in the top left of the doc view window, however this is not necessarily the top of the topic. 
    Im not sure how else to explain what the user is seeing, sorry.
    Please explain "Also whether it remains consistent depends on whether an absolute or percentage value has been added to it."

  • How can I get past the "Help Improve Adobe's Products" dialogue box?

    No matter what I push, Do not Participate or Participate ... Photoshop hangs.  I am using a new Macbook Pro.  I installed Photoshop several days ago - everything working fine until this morning.  I have no problem with Lightroom 5.

    Yes I did.  I talked to Adobe who had me rename the "Adobe Photoshop CC Settings" to Adobe Photoshop CC SettingsOLD".  This file was then bipassed on startup and the issue is now fixed.  Thanks for your suggestion.

  • How to you stop the health app running in the background?

    How to you stop the new Health App from running in the background? Its its always running collecting data on how many steps I have taken and how far I have walked.. I walked 12000 steps and travelled 4.1km DRIVING my kids to school this morning according to the app.

    I never intend to use the health app because I do not need an app on my phone to help me live a healthy lifestyle.  Therefore I find it intrusive there is no way to stop it from tracking my steps or whatever else it may be doing.  I found a way to force the app to crash and maybe this will stop it from running in the background.  Open the app, tap "Health Data" at the bottom of the screen, tap "Fitness" then "Steps" and tap "Add Data" type in a huge number - a very huge number with 30 or more characters, you can even add more than 1 decimal point.  Repeat this for "walking + Running Distance".  From this point forward the app will crash when you try to look at the data.  Maye this prevents it from recording new data, I'm not sure but I really like the fact the app crashes.  Hopefully Apple will add a feature to allow us to turn off data collection altogether or even better, allow us to delete this app.

  • How do you stop the keyboard from covering what you are typing

    How do you stop the keyboard from covering up what you are typing- one of the worst features of the new iOS

    What kind of problems are you having with the iPad?
    If the keyboard is split and covering your text, Pull the two ends of the keyboard together - into the middle of the screen. You can also tap and hold down on the little keyboard icon in the lower right corner of the keyboard and select - Dock and Merge.
    If the keyboard is up on the middle of the screen, but not split, and you want to move it back to the bottom - tap and hold down on the little keyboard and icon and select - Dock
    You can turn the split keyboard off in Settings>General>Keyboard>Split Keyboard>Off.
    if none of those are the issue, reset your iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
