Photoshop CS6 is not responding when leaving PS and coming back again

A weired problem: My new installation of Photoshop CS6 (OS X Mavericks on a new MBP) is not responding when leaving PS and coming back again.
Example: i open a new file in PS - then i click on the desktop - when i go back to PS again, it is not responding to any click on any window (except for the menu bar).
I can solve the problem when i try going back several times or when i go back to PS via the icon in the dock.
But it is still very annoying in a quick workflow.
I would appreciate any idea what i can check more, cause i tried everything and i can’t find this issue on the web…
Thanks…

Problem solved… The troublemaker was the Trackball Works Driver for Kensington trackballs / Expert Mouses…
I’m now using a generic driver for USB devices and everything is fine.

My Photoshop CS6 is not responding.

My Photoshop CS6 is not responding when opening. What should I do. thanks.

Also look at this one. Unable to start Photoshop CS6 - could not open a scratch file because the file is locked (Windows)
It's a good lesson as to why things go wrong and whether it is actually a problem with Photoshop.
And this: http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2012/07/photoshop-basic-troubleshooting-steps-to-fix-mos t-issues.html
Maybe I can't give you the right answer at this moment, but I can hopefully give you a ride to where you can get to it.

You really need to install the CS6 updates. You haven't installed any of the updates.
And you need to update your Intel video card driver.

Not responding when I try to go back to an old project

Please help I edited a film and then went onto another project and now I wish to go back to the previous film to do more work on it but when I try and load the previous film final cut says not responding why is that happening

You click on the little film wheel down to left and your projects will show up. Double click to open it in Timeline. A good utility to manage events and projects is this http://assistedediting.intelligentassistance.com/EventManagerX/

Adobe Photoshop Elements does not respond when quicktime is installed

I currently have a Windows Vista PC with Photoshop Elements 5.0. Photoshop seems to work fine, however when Quicktime is installed, Photoshop stops working (sometimes immediately and sometimes within a few days). When Quicktime is installed, Photoshop will start, but freezes and never loads pictures. I read a post at another website with the same problem suggesting that I could unistall Quicktime and then reinstall. I tried uninstalling and Photoshop started working immediately. However, when I reinstalled Quicktime the same thing happened. I've tried this numerous times, both by installing Quicktime separately and as a package with iTunes. I would be fine w/o quicktime on my computer, however it seems that I need it in order to use iTunes. Any advice on what to do? Thanks.

FYI, I'm using a Mac with the latest OS, whatever that's called.

Mac 10.5.8 system preferences not responding when opening print and fax

My HP photosmart printer has stopped responding. The pinwheel comes up and freezes the computer when ever I try and access the printer, or anything to do with the printer. I have also tried going in through system preferences and the I cannot even access it. The pinwheel again pops up. I have not added any software lately. I have tried to update my software both for the Mac and the printer. There are no updates available. I am using Mac 10.5.8
Any ideas / solutions????

First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

After effects cs 5.5 not responding when I open up a project file

I was recently working on an intro for a youtube channel and my project had been running smoothly the night before. But now all of a sudden I open it up today and it starts not responding when I try and open the file. It is running on a mac with 8 GB of memory and a 2.1 GHz intel i7 processor, I have no idea what's happening and I really need help. Thank you for your time.

I can understand that my info was vague, but I am as well a novice in after effects. I have a good bit of experience with it, but not a professional standard. I have 1 video file of average length, a photoshop file, and a word layer, no other effects really. My comp size is 1280 by 720, and I don't know what other info I could give. My other projects run fine, it seems to just be this one now that you mention it. Should I try starting a new project and just working off of that? I can understand that you need to know a lot more, but I was also just asking a general question because I felt that it might be common issue of a setting that I may have had to change, so I'm sorry my info was so vague, but that was my reasoning. I don't believe that saving and backups are my problem, but if you believe it's a means to the solution then by all means please justify that. Thank your for your time and help.

When trying to open in external editor I get this warning when going to Photoshop CS6: Could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered.

Aperture: When trying to open in external editor I get this warning when going to Photoshop CS6: Could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered. I can export and open via Photoshop or open directly from file-just not through external editor. Gerry

Hi gerry,
does this happen for a particular image only, or for all images?
And does this happen only from your account or also from other user accounts?

My Photoshop elements 11 and 13 organizer suddenly exits. photoshop elements is not responding. Message occurs when the error is found. solicit help

My Photoshop elements 11 and 13 organizer suddenly exits. photoshop elements is not responding. Message occurs when the error is found. solicit help, That's all.

We really cannot know. So far you haven't told us anything about your system nor is there any feasible way to diagnose what this "missing file" could be, no matter what. That is, short of elaborate tracking and observation using specialised system diagnosis tools. The welcome screens can be brough back via the Help menu, but well, this might bring back the problems as well. Anyway, this is most likely nothing that a forum can help you with. If you know a computer geek, give him a call. Otherwise I don't see what we could do for you.

LR4 Problem: The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS6 could not be launched.

Is there a fix for this? When I try to edit an image in Photoshop from Lightroom 4 (CTRL+E), Photoshop CS6 launches immediately but with no image. In Lightroom 4, after about two minutes, the message box appears saying "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS6 could not be launched." When I click OK, the image promptly opens in Photoshop CS6 like normal. This wan an itermittent issue for me after the LR4.1 release. I was hoping that LR4.2 would help, but now I get the error every time.
System
Lightroom 4.2 x64
Photoshop CS6 v13.0.1 x64
Bridge 5.0.1.23 x64
Windows 7 Pro x64
AMD Six Core / 3.9 Ghz
16 GB Memory
NVidia Quadro 1 Gb Video
Scratch space on three drives

This may be a cooincidence, I starting having problems after I started using a Nikon D800, which has 36MP files. LR4 released at the same time as the D800. LR4 shows signs of struggling with the larger files, which are typically 280MB TIFFs for the D800, like freezing for several seconds when using an adjustment brush or going into a spasm with the crop tool. Because Photoshop does not have similar large file issues, I'm doing more basic work in Photoshop, like cropping, dodge and burn, exposure adjustment, etc.
Because Photoshop otherwise runs fine, and appears to read all the prefernes properly mid-issue, to get a better idea of what's going on, I turned on Process Monitor from Technet. For what it's worth, LR4 appears to touch the Photoshop preferences before it launches Photoshop. LR4 must have a memory leak in that corrupts the Photoshop preferences file in a way that makes no difference to Photoshop.
My weekend project is to try Capture One to see if I can spend more time on photography and less troubleshooting Adobe problems. As it stands, LR4 is not usable for me.

Photoshop CS6 will not open any graphics files

Photoshop cs6 will not open graphic files, i have reset the settings. I get to see all the files in preview but when I try to open a file nothing happens, no error messages, no file opens, nothing.
When I use bridge I try to open the file with open in photoshop cs6 but again nothing happens. I found that if I reboot my PC photoshop will work correctly until I shut photoshop down but if I reopen it later before rebooting my pc now graphics files will open.
