Photoshop CS6 will not allow me to save anything I work on.

It was part of Premiere CS6 Production Premium. Worked for a while -- now nothing but this message -- "Could not save as "xxxx.psd” because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to ensure the file is unlocked and you have permission to access the file. If the problem persists, save the document to a different file or duplicate it in the Finder." -- Have tried everything I can think of -- resetting prefs, pram on Mac, repariring disk permissions, unistalling and reinstalling Photoshop itself. This is really a huge issue and causing me lots of problems on big projects right now. Anyone have a solution?

Good day!
Have you checked the permissions of the specific files and the folders containing it?
What other applications are open?
Have you tried starting from a new user account?

Photoshop CC will not allow me to save files

Photoshop CC will not allow me to save any files. It will bring up the "save as" window, but then it immediately disappears when trying to select a save location. No error messages, it just disappears. Any ideas? Running it on a Mac OS X Mavericks. Have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, created a new profile which worked for a few saves, but started doing it on the new profile as well.

Curt Y, you are a mad genius. That seems to fix the problem. You've saved me a lot of time and trouble, thank you sir!

photoshop will not allow me to save to web any more?

I uninstalled Photoshop CC along with the preferences.
I restarted, and logged back into Creative Cloud
where i reinstalled Photoshop CC.
Began immediately working in the program
and of course testing the save for web feature along with the other save options.
Seems that all is well. I hope this works for you as it did me.

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 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.

"Program Error" in PS/CS6 does not allow me to save in any format.

"Program Error" in PS/CS6 does not allow me to save in any format. I can't save as psd, jpg, tiff, large document format, etc. My only option is to quit without saving an hour's work. This has happened a dozen times sporadically.

Hello, Indesign 6 will not allow me to save and close my file

Try exporting to .idml. If that works, openthe .idml and save as a new .indd.
If it doesn't work, force quit ID and then restart. Auto-recovery should kick in and reopen the file at about the last state, then try again.

The trial version of Photoshop CS6 will not activate

The trial version of Photoshop CS6 will not activate and gives the message that I do not have Internet connection, yet I do but it is hardwired via university LAN. My IT person cannot find a fix for it either. I obviously have internet connection since I am sending this question via the same PC.

What exactly are you trying to do? Trials require no serial, but full versions do. Are you trying to activate a trial to convert it to a licensed version?

InDesign will not allow me to save my work. Why is this? Time sensitive project.

I downloaded the free trial for InDesign, and have been using it to work on an important project. I have had the free trial for a little while, but I am not exactly sure how long. I opened it about an hour ago, and it still offered the "continue trial" option, so I clicked it, but now it will not allow me to save or export my file to PDF. I am near completion on the project. It is due today, but if I am not able to save the file, I will not be able to submit the assignment. Is my inability to save the file a result of the trial running out mid-session? If so, what can I do to recover the work I have done?

Try a Save As
Create another document and move pages from the problem document to the new - attempt to save
Create a simple, one word document and try to Save or Export
I cannot answer to how the trials work.
I expect you have an acount - (most) current releases are subscription based - check your account status
Check the date stamps in your Program Folders pertinant to InDesign
Find the first InDesign file you made, what is the date history?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Photoshop CS6 will not open files

Right after rebooting my computer (Windows 7 Pro) I can open one photo file in CS6 using any normal method of opening a file in Photoshop. After closing that file I cannot open any more files using any method such as>Open Recent, File>Open, or right click open using Photoshop, by selecting the file, double-clicking to open it etc. I also cannot open a file in photoshop CS6 from Lightroom 5 using Photo>Edit In> Photoshop CS6. Everything works in Lightroom when I use Photo>Edit>open in CS6 Photoshop opens but the file doesn't.
If I reboot my computer I can then open one file using any of those methods, but when I try to open an additional file it will not open. I have run through all the opening Photoshop without plugins suggestions and all the other suggestions about what may cause this problem which I have found on Photoshop Help and Support Center and nothing has worked.
This started while Lightroom 4.4 and CS6 were on my machine and had been working well for months. Then, suddenly, I couldn't open anything in Photoshop. I know of no changes made to the computer. After trying various suggested solutions I reinstalled Photoshop CS6 and things seemed to be working so I went ahead with updating to Lightroom 5. The same problem popped up in CS6 again. Lightroom 5 and Lightroom 4.4 have both worked with no problems and still do. Photoshop seems to be the problem. I've also run an antivirus which found nothing.
Any suggestions?

Others have this same problem. See discussion at Re: Photoshop CS6 does not open or create files
I finally got CS6 to work but have no idea what I did that caused it to start working properly again.

Photoshop CS6 will not read my raw files

I have both a Canon 5D Mark 3 and a Canon 70D and CS6 will not read my RAW files. I have to convert them to DNG to work on them. Suggestions?

According to this Adobe help link, the 5D Mark III had support since Camera Raw version 7.1 and the 70D had support since version 8.2, which CS6 should support fully. (CS6 supports up to the latest Camera Raw, which is version 8.7 as of this post.)
Is everything updated? (Help > Updates in Photoshop.)
