Photoshop CS6 still running in Background Processes, won't close

Lately, I've been having a problem with Photoshop CS6 where, even after I close the program, Photoshop.exe is still running under Background Processes in the task manager. Hitting "end task" on the program doesn't do anything. It takes up quite a big portion of my processing power, and it usually closes on its own if I just wait a good 5-10 minutes. Even weirder, while this "Ghost Photoshop" is running in the background, I can launch a new version of Photoshop, that will run at the same time without any trouble (aside from the expected slowness when a chunk of my processing power is being eaten up by whatever Ghost Photoshop is doing). I'm running Photoshop CS6 on Windows 8, with just one extension installed-- Coolorus 2.0.

They were using the little red "x", file > quit allowed her to reopen the program etc. I find it weird that it wont close with the "x" but if I right click the icon on the task bar, it wont allow me to reopen or do anything with it so I was under the assumption it was stuck open.

  • How do I run a background process which is under WLE control

    Hello folks:
    How can I run a background process that runs under WLE's control.
    What I am looking for is a way to have a process that runs in an
    infinite loop and polls the database to see if there is any background
    work that needs to be done. But I still want the process to be managed
    by WLE for fault tolerance.
    Thanks,

    The easiest way to do this is to write a Tuxedo server (i.e., using only
    ATMI and no CORBA stuff) that does the following:
    1.) In tpsvrinit(), the last thing that it should do is a tpacall to the
    service contained in this server (and nowhere else) with the TPNOREPLY
    flag.
    2.) In the method that implements the service, do your database work, sleep
    for a little while, do another tpacall to itself with the TPNOREPLY flag,
    and return.
    Hope this helps,
    Robert

  • Is photoshop cs6 still available and is Illustator files able to be opened in photoshop CC as well as am I able to download Photoshop CC and keep Photoshop CS6?

    I have a logo created in Illustrator cs6 but I am afraid that it won't be compatable with Photoshop CC. Is Photoshop cs6 still available for download. Can Illustrator  cs6 files be converted opened in Illustrator CC. I heard there were some conpatablity issues.

    You can get Photoshop CS6, CC, and CC 2014 all from the Creative Cloud application.
    But I HIGHLY doubt that files that Photoshop CS6 can open would not be compatible with Photoshop CC.  Photoshop CC is, when you brush away the clouds, just an evolution of the product that's being licensed a different way.  All appearances are it's compatible with files made before.
    I know nothing about Adobe Illustrator.

  • How do I start Photoshop CS6 without Run As Administrator

    I was encouraged to post this here (updated from post to the Photoshop forum)
    I've seen several similar threads with problems with Bridge ()for beta CS6), nothing recent with run issues with Photoshop CS6
    I have installed most of the programs downloaded from the Cloud. Most run. So far, from my user account I've found Bridge, Encore and Indesign encounter a "Problem" upon opening and close with no further message or details. Dreamwever, Flash, Illustrator and Premiere run as far as I've tested. Everything seems to start fine from an admin account.
    From my user account Photoshoip CS6 brings up a message about a locked scratch file and cannot run. I can start PS CS6 using Run As Admin and everythig seems to run fine. I've tried changing some permissions on discs and on my user account still has PS  CS6 fail to start. (I need to check this again) I've read similar posts on earlier releases. I have tried purging the preferences, both manually and using the crtl+shift+alt start. I still cannot get PS CS6 to run from my user account.
    CS5 prograams from Design Premium start/run fine AFAIK
    I did not instal the CS6 beta
    FWIW
    Gigabyte MB, w/ i72600k
    Windows7 64bit
    SSD for C:
    standard disk for user accounts (moved /user to this disc)
    standard disks for scratch and file starage (each its own disk)
    I tried the uninstall/reinstall game without any change.
    I'm out of ideas.
    Kevin

    Actually the problem is not unique to Photoshop CS6-64:
    In PS6, I can launch it (after I launched as Admin and set cache preference to another drive), but if I try to save a project as PDF, I get this message:
    "(X) Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in Windows Explorer to unlock the file."
    Since the only user choice in PS is in Preferences/Performance, I have no way to know what file and where it may be located. But I suspect the issue is outside of PS, perhaps in Acrobat?
    I also cannot launch Encore for what appears to be the same reason (locked cache/scratch file), so the issue goes beyond PS.
    One thing that seems a common thread is that these issues seem to affect only users with SSD C: drives using Win7.
    Can't someone at Adobe chase down these issues that are affecting so many of us. At the very least, tell us the locations of the locked files and a method of unlocking them. I have tried giving blanket permissions to as many likely folders as I can find, and not only does the problem persist, but I am worried about my system security.
    Please help. Please?

  • How to run a background process in a J2EE App ?

    Hi guys,
    Here is the requirement which totally stumped me.
    " The web app should have a feature like a background process or something like cron jobs.. which keeps on running in the background and at a particular time each day calls a method". User intervention is not an option.
    Now had this been a stand alone app .. I could have done this using Threads.. but i cant possibly use threads in a J2EE app. Any pointers.. how I can go about realizing this
    Thanks for your replies.
    Cheers!

    You could take the approach that SoulTech mentioned and spawn a new thread from the Servlet's init method. To have the servlet invoke this method with no intervention, you would need to set the following parameter in your servlet definition in your web.xml:
    <servlet>
      <servlet-name>MyStartupServlet</servlet-name>
      <servlet-class>com.my.company.MyStartupServlet</servlet-class>
      *<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>*
    </servlet>When you deploy your application, the servlet will be loaded, and its init method will be called.
    If your application is running in a servlet container, I believe you are allowed (by the specification) to spawn your own threads, but you should do so carefully. Since you're writing a scheduler and not some kind of worker threads that are messing with your database, I think you should be okay. Still, just to keep it clean you should add any clean-up logic you may need to your servlet's destroy method. I know that in an EJB container, spawning your own threads can definitely be a problem and the container makes no guarantees that they will function correctly. The J2SE Timer class could be used if you're not using EJB, but the Timer class doesn't have support for J2EE - that's at least part of what led to the introduction of the timer beans in J2EE 1.4. If you're already using EJB, especially EJB 3.0, then the timer service provides a convenient built-in mechanism to do exactly what you want.
    There are always multiple ways to solve any problem...

  • When MRP run through background process in MDBT open PR and PO not comming?

    Hi,
    When MRP run through backgroung process in MDBT open PR and PO not coming in MDBT result.
    Pls advise accordingaly.
    Regards
    rk

    Ram,
    Either I am totally misunderstanding your statements, or your business people are misinformed.  
    The output of MD01 (MRP total run in foreground) and the output of MDBT (MRP total Run in Background) ARE IDENTICAL, provided you have selected the same parameters.  
    Neither output contains a discrete listing of open Purchase orders and Purchase requisitions.
    Standard output of both MD01 and MDBT are:
    1.  List of materials processed, with exception messages
    2.  Statistics
    In addition, both of these programs also write MRP records to the MRP databases, provided that the "Display Material List" parameter is set.  In this case, both of these programs will produce data that can be further reviewed and managed in MD05 and MD06. MD06 is the tool that most planners use to process the MRP database info.
    If you wish to see a listing of the entire MRP results (either MD01 or MDBT), then execute transaction MDLD.  This will produce either a spoolfile or a printed document.
    For the PO or PR listings, review my earlier suggestions.
    Rgds,
    DB49

  • Applications become unclickable, still run in background?

    Some users (important note: _All running Intel Macs, All ran the Migration Assistant, 10.4.10_) are finding that certain applications (Microsoft Office, Mail ... ) are becoming "orphaned" from the window server.
    They launch fine, after a while however, they become unclickable!
    You can see them in the background, but you cannot bring them to the foreground. Clicking the dock icon does not bring the application to the front - the dock does not even acknowledge the application is running!
    You can control the application by holding control down (as if it were the inactive window, which it is)
    It also means you cannot quit the application without terminating the process in Activity Monitor.
    Also note these screenshots: http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/7282/picture11kl2.png
    http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/2607/picture10tp7.png
    Notice in the latter image, that the mail process no longer has the dock icon -- this is when it has became "orphaned" from the WindowServer.
    I've tried reinstalling the Combo Updater, Diskwarrior, Repairing permissions and swapping the app for a replacement application off a different machine. I think there is a rather large bug in the Migration Assistant.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    If the program has logic to transfer the data to appliacation layer, then it works. Other wise it is not possible to download the data into your desktop by running in Background.

  • Java code running as background process in Linux causes high CPU util.

    I'm running a piece of java code as a background process in Redhat 7.1 . When I specify to run it as a background process (using the '&') at the command line, I get CPU utilization at around 5% and it dips.
    When I edit the script that runs the java code to specify running it as a background process withint the script itself (java ..... &) and then go to the command line and run the script, the CPU utilization shoots up to 95% and stays at the low 90's - very high 80's range for the CPU utilization..
    I'm hoping someone has any idea for this behavior and a way to fix it.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sarat..

    This is an interesting post and i'm sory i don't have time to
    experament before i answer
    you could of course run the script as background
    *.sh &
    but that's probubly not what you want
    I think the solution lies in giving the
    proccess a job number %n
    then setting it %n &
    it might even work to
    put something like %java &
    Anyway when it's running fullout
    it is because it is in the
    current terminal process group PID.
    wish i could help more

  • Photoshop CS6 trial runs at 25% CPU constantly

    I'm using the trial of Photoshop CS6 extended but shortly after I start working on a document, I get a warning that it is taking up high CPU. When I check the windows task manager I can see that it's running at 25% CPU contstantly. I have a quad core so I'm guessing it maxes out one core? The files I'm working on are tiny 40x40 px icons so I don't see any reason this should be happening. If I can't get this resovled I'll probably just stick with my current version of PS. Any suggestions?

    I have problem too in photoshop CS 5.5 and 6. I am checking method from: http://forum.wacom.eu/viewtopic.php?t=9252&p=37820
    At last, some progress!
    After a few experiments, I finally managed to isolate the the problem.
    In CS5, the cause was the option "Anti-alias Guides and Paths" under the OpenGL Settings.
    CS6 appears to be working in OpenGL Basic Mode with all options disabled.
    Not sure why that issue happens only with the wacom drivers installed, but I'm glad it has been resolved (for the record, I have 2x GTX 560 Ti GPU's).

  • ATP Re-Run in background processing for sales order

    Hello All,
    In sales order i need to re run the ATP check for the quantity confirmation in background processing.
    Scenario is :
    I have created orders with order quantity 100.
    while creating the order stock for the same material was only 20 so ultimately it will not confirmed the quantity.
    After the some period i m increasing stock of same material by 120. Now, same order which i created before can be confirmed as i need only 100 quantity in that. but for the same I need to manually run the ATP again and then it will confirm the quantity.
    instead of manually re run the ATP again i want to do this activity in background processing so that it will automatically confirmed the stock once inventory increased.
    Is there any provision in sap to avoid this manual task with the help of background processing or any program?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Rasik

    Hi,
    This can be achieved by rescheduling the orders .
    << Moderator message - Cut and paste response from http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/93/744c0c546011d1a7020000e829fd11/content.htm removed and points unassigned. Plagiarism is not allowed in SCN >>
    You reach the Sales screen.
    Select Environment ® Backorders ® Rescheduling ® Execute.
    You can  also simulate the backorders for rescheduling before confirming by selecting the simulateevaluate option.
    Prerequisite for rescheduling the line items of the order is that at schedule line you should not flag the  field fixed date and quantity field. Also for ATP you must have defined the scope of check with checking rule BO(i guess) for that particular plant in combination of checking group .
    Hope this will help you.

  • How do I change photoshop (CS6) to run as a 64 bit permanently

    I downloaded the 64 bit but but it reverts to 32 bit.

    Hi,
    What operating system are you using?
    Your using a 64 bit operating system?
    On a windows 64 bit os, there should be two photoshop cs6 versions installed, 32 and 64 bits.
    The 32 bit version is in
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6
    The 64 bit version is in
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6
    So, perhaps the shortcut your using to start photoshop cs6 is pointing to the 32 bit version.
