Photoshop CS6 stops responding. Will not allow saving of a document.

System is Windows xp pro 32 bit with 3GB ram. Cannot save or even close out photoshop. Need to end task and start over again. Sometimes documant will be recovered sometimes not.

I scoured through the event viewer and have seen nothing in terms of error messages or warnings. System overall is quite stable which is why I have been slow to upgrade OS's. With regard to programs, processes and services, I have reexamined this list to ensure nothing was shut off inadvertently. Over the years I have tuned this OS to run quite efficiently eliminating unneeded resource hogs. Thank you so much for providing ideas and suggestions.
What I find quite odd is that when the program becomes unresponsive or maybe unstable is more accurate, some filters still function while others do not. Usually it's the larger filters like liquify and others that refuse to show up when called. It’s also that time when the program refuses to save, save as etc. but I can still do small tasks within the program like paint, add layer etc. There seems to be adequate resources available yet if I either try to save through the menu or through key stroke nothing happens. You can’t even close a document by X’ing out. It just ignores the request.
Thankfully, I can work around the issue by saving frequently and closing and restarting. But this is quite annoying.
Thank you to all for offering tips and suggestions.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled GarageBand many times,

Is it an iCloud bug or a GarageBand bug?
Any ideas?

Photoshop CS6 - Batch function will not save files

OK, I have used the "Automate/Batch" function well over a hundred times, so this situation (first time using it in CS6) is VERY frustrating!
Running Adobe CS6 extended v. 13.0.1 x32 on a Win XP sp3 OS.
I have a slew of photos that need nothing done except to resize from the native file size to 6 in x 4 in @ 150 ppi and save into a new folder (to not override the original). I have recorded the action multiple times now and each time I run the action, the files do not save! Here are the various parameters I've used:
Attempt #1:
     Action Steps Recorded -
Open
Save for web (set size parameters here)
Close
      Batch settings -
Play Set: correct folder selected; Action: correct action selected
Source: folder - selected folder where native files are located (on desktop)
NO checkmarks next to any options
Destination: folder - selected folder where small files should be saved (on desktop)
NO checkmark on override action
Did not change file naming parameters
Result #1 - DID NOT SAVE FILES
Attempt #2:
     Action Steps Recorded -
Open
Save for web (set size parameters here)
Close
     Batch settings -
Play Set: correct folder selected; Action: correct action selected
Source: folder - selected folder where native files are located (on desktop)
Cehckmark override Action "Open" commands
Destination: folder - selected folder where small files should be saved (on desktop)
NO checkmark on override action
Did not change file naming parameters
Result #2 - DID NOT SAVE FILES

Please help! This has never been a problem before CS6 and I truly am at my wits end trying to figure out why the files will not save. I have several hundred files that I need to run this on, so doing it individually is not an option.
Thanks in advance for any and all insights!

I'm having a problem with Automating > Batch as well. Strange enough, I did a batch of other photos and it worked fine. Selecting a new set of folders is not working at all; the files simply pop open and then close but the destination folder remains empty. It also doesn't appear the actions are occuring since I don't see them highlighting as the automation runs. I have no idea why it would work then not. BTW, "Override Action "Save As" is unchecked.
~CG
UPDATE: I put a "save as" command at the beginning of the action, then checked the "Override Action "Save As" box and it somehow works now, but not before stalling on an image (normally the last in the folder) and complaining that the image was being used in another program. The only other program opened was Bridge so I'm unsure why it had a problem. I closed both programs and ran the automation with nothing else opened and it worked ... ?? Confused, but not complaining (for now).

Reader 9.4 will not allow saving completed Form from Pro v8

I've just created a new form that Reader 9.4 will not let me save the completed changes on. It will only allow viewing, modifying, printing, but not saving the changed form content. If I open it with Pro v8, it works fine.
I opened some forms I created a while ago, and they're working fine - view, navigate, print, and save changes. It's just this new form that won't save.
Is there a setting somewhere I've inadvertently set that's causing this? My client really needs this form, but it's useless if they can't save the changes.
Also, I Check for Updates on my 8, and it's now at v8.1.3. I uninstalled Adobe Reader and reinstalled - no change. It also does the same thing (not allowing saves) on two different machines.
Thanks in advance

That was it!
Thanks

Pages will not allow me to retrieve documents any longer. No update available, but the message tells me to update in the App Store!

I'm completely updated, except for two unimportant apps that seem to have some sort of glitch, and no new update is showing up for Pages, yet when I try to retrieve my documents, the message says, "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document". The only thing that I see when I go into the App Store is a new version for $19.99. How can I update without paying? I just want to print my documents for safety and then never use Pages again.

Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
Note: Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Photoshop CS6 for windows will not install.

I have already copied the lesson files to my hard drive as the book instructs, however there is no autorun screen, or even a shortcut/icon that says Adobe Photoshop, the same applies for Adobe Bridge. What am I doing wrong? I need this for a college course and have already missed an assignment because I cannot get it to work. Please help?

Products
Here is a link to the Student Store -- you should be eligible for a discount through your school. I don't see CS6 on there, so you may have to get the cloud instead to get the discount. (You can find out from the chat window that will show up if you stay on the page for a few minutes). If you just need Photoshop, the Photographers bundle is the best deal.

Photoshop CS6 64 bit will not open Bridge C6

Hi,
Anyone help a fairly first poster? (hopefully in the right forum)
I just upgraded from CS4 direct to CS6, all looked fine until yesterday When attempting to open Bridge CS6, the CS4 version kept opening.
After2 hours 'Talking' to Adobe (remote) it was suggested I uninstall PS 6 and Bridge (after deregistering). I carried on working, then first thing this AM, I set about uninstalling, but... I thought I'd try Bridge CS6 first, wooo hoo it works, another BUT...
When I open Bridge it I am presented with the annoying UAC popup -Why? I AM an admin, and none of the other Adobe progs as this.
The other issue is, when I select from PS6 FILE > Browse in Bridge. NOTHING happens.
How can I get Bridge to start from PS CS6 as it should.? (mini bridge works fine)
How can I get rid of UAC only on Bridge CS6?
Windows 7 8GB ram, latest versions of BR, and PS, in task manager bridge.exe IS running BEFORE I attempt to run it from the PS CS 6 menu option.
Any suggestions, or should I uninstall PS6 and BR6 then re-install? (I don't really want the faff if I can avoid) I am an admin on the PC, and I REALLY want to avoid the suggestions from other folk about setting up a new user.
Any help, suggestions gratefully accepted.
McP

Hi,
Checked this, bridge.exe, does not appear until I click on the Bridge icon, or menu item so it's not that..
I have not got this problem on two other machines, when I click Browse in bridge form PS6 on the other two machines it runs straight away.
bridge Preferences > Advanced Start Bridge at Login is NOT checked.
ALSO, when I start Bridge on its won, I am forced to plead with Win 7 UAC to let me use it. This does NOT happen with ANY other bprogram in the Adobe suite, any suggestions?

Photoshop CS6 Extended Upgrade will not install

I have Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 Extended installed and activated on my system. The installation for the upgrade from disk for CS6 extended doesn't recognize that the CS5 Extended installation exists or accepts its serial number and I can't proceed. It also doesn't give me CS5 Extended as an option in the drop down menu for previous installations. CS5 shows as being activated on my computer. I did have to do a full system restore to a new hard disk some six weeks ago when my C drive crashed.

As Baljeet said, please clarify. Could be thast you simply have the wrong installer. if so, you may wish to get in touch with support. they can eitehr help you generate an install code or advise about exhanging the wrong media.

I installed the trial version of Photoshop CS6 but it will not let me open the program.

When I go to open it an error message comes up saying that "it may be damaged or incomplete". But when I go to Adobe Applicaion Manager it says that it is "up to date". How can I fix this?

Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and let it install again.

Illustrator and Photoshop CS6 both will not allow me to print from them

Illustrator and Photoshop CS6 both will not allow me to print from them. InDesign will, but illustrator keeps popping up with "can't print the illustration." i have read other forums and i understand outlining typefaces, and spot colors but, it still will not allow me to print. Even if i open a completely new file and just try to print a black square it will not allow it. the problem might have started with an emailed EPS file? but im not 100 percent sure. i have disconnected and re connected the printer but the problem just seems as if all Illustrator, and Photoshop files will not print from the program and the connection with the printer is non existent (even though it says it is). please help!

Reset your illustrator prefs
Hold fingers over Shift Alt CTLR (PC) or Shift Opt Command (Mac)
Boot Illustrator
Immediately after booting depress the 3 keys as fast as you can.

I saved my Form Central spreadsheet file once as a excel file but it will not allow me to save it a second time as an excel file. It says that I cannot complete this action because the file me be open in another application, but it is not open in another

I saved my Form Central spreadsheet file once as a excel file but Forms Central will not allow me to save the file a second time as an excel file. I am informed that I cannot complete this action because the file me be open in another application, but it is not open in another application. What is the problem, and how do I solve the problem. Thank you. Jeff

First check the version of the document with Jongware's script "Identify.jsx" (ExtendScript/JavaScript).
You can find it here:
[Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
If it is CS 5.5 or above, you need someone to open it in the version the script says and export an IDML representation from that. Another way would be to install a 30days version of CS6 or above (CC) and do it yourself.
In regards of the script showing a result for InDesign files higher than CS6:
CS7 = CC v9
CS8 = CC v10 = CC-2014 or CC2014.1

Photoshop Elements 10 will not allow me to back up the entire catalog.

Photoshop 10 will not allow me to back up the entire catalog. During its initial set up, when it runs the space needed, it stops at 18% and will not go beyond that
Here is what I am doing. In Elments Orgainizer, I am going to FILE, then selecting Back Up Catalgo to CD,DVD or Hard Drive, then I select- Full Back Up, then it goes to Calculate Total Media Space and that is where is stops at 18%

Thanks for the response
My OS is Win 7 Home Prem
The catalog is over 60GB and over 31,000 images
There are only a few videos in the catalog
I am backing up to a hard drive that is a 2TB drive
I can not even get to select the drive, as the system stops as it calculates the amount of space needed.

Photoshop CS6 stops responding. Will not allow saving of a document.
