Photoshop CS6 will not launch on MacBook Pro. Adobe icon appears then disappears.

On a macbook pro.photoshop will not open. i've tried everything all that happens is an adobe icon appears and then quickly disappears. i have photoshop cs6 suite for a little over a year now. no problems until today. please help - i have a project due tomorrow.

Hello:
I am sorry but I am a Windows user and so I am not sure I can help you. I do not know if you have enough time before your project is due but if you do not get an answer here you may want to just call Adobe. They have techs that can walk you through everything. They can take over your computer and fix it for you. They have done this for me many times when I have had problems and I have always been helped.
I do not know if Mac is the same but have you tried going to your Program Files? Like... your C drive > whatever > whatever > program files? and then right + click to open it from there ...?? does Mac have something similar??
I totally wish that I could help you more than this!! Best of luck and I really do hope you can get your project done or an extension!!

Have deleted (secure delete) and reinstalled several times. Got it to open once right after download... Usually crashes/hangs upon attempted start-up, then shows as "Application unresponsive". Must be forced to quit.

Adobe Photoshop CS6 will not install on my Mac.

Adobe Photoshop CS6 will not install on my Mac. Adobe Application Manager is seeing the Beta version of Photoshop CS6 on my machine.
I have unistalled/deleted any previous versions of the software, and used the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner tool to flush my machines. Sadly,
I am still getting the following error:
Photoshop CS6 Installation Failed
A beta version of this product exists on the computer. Please quit and uninstall that version before continuing.
I have unistalled/deleted any previous versions of the software, and used the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner tool to flush my machines. I am now stuck!
Any help would be appreciated.

It's strange that you ran the cleaner tool and still didn't worked
you can try to login to Root user account and then run the cleaner tool , and then check.

Photoshop CS4 will not launch after installing Yosemite.

Photoshop CS4 will not launch after installing Yosemite. All the other CS4 apps open. I upgraded Java. Genius Bar could not get it to launch.

Here's the fix I found, by way of an explanation...
Snow Leopard prompted me on my first startup with the following error:
"There is a conflict with the _______ font file. This font file contains a font name that conflicts with a system font required by Mac OS X to display onscreen text. You should move this font file to the Trash."
The fonts it said were conflicting: Helvetica, HelveticaNeue.dfont, Lucida Grande, and Monaco. I figured Snow Leopard probably wanted to replace these fonts with newer versions, and so I clicked "Move to Trash" on all four.
Apparently 10.6 trashed these fonts but didn't replace them. This was causing Photoshop to crash on load.
So I restored my ~/Library/Fonts folder from a backup made just before upgrading and this time after a reboot I said "Allow Conflict" on all four dialog boxes and launched Photoshop... everything is back to normal!
Not sure what kind of "conflict" it's referring to, but apparently moving these font files to the trash as OS X prompted me to do broke a number of apps. Should I report this as a bug?
Thanks for the ideas!

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.

Photoshop CS5 will not launch

Photoshop CS5 will not launch either from the desktop or program list. The only way to launch is to log out and restart the computer. At the end of each session I reset the preferences in the Workspace. I am running Win 7 ultimate with 4GB of ram. System is 64 bit . Display is ATI Radeon HD 5700 series. Adapter type is AMD Radeon Graphics Processor (0x68B8). The computer has an Intel(R) series/3400 Chipset Family.
When I installed from the disk I received the message Exit Code 6, 0 fatal errors, 21 errors, 1 warning. I have reinstalled several times and still get the same message. Tried disabling start up items while installing but same message.

One thing that sort of jumps out at me, regarding running the program, is that 4GB of RAM. With a 64-bit OS, 4GB is just about the minimum to run the OS, with little to nothing left over for a program, like Photoshop. I would bump that up, and to 12 - 16GB, if possible.
For the installation, I think that Mylenimum has posted some very useful links.
Good luck,
Hunt

Photoshop CC will not launch after deleting and re-installing Lightroom

Yesterday, I contacted Adobe support because I could not get my Lightroom trial version to convert to my CC subsciption. I was told to delete the Lightroom app by dragging it to the trash and re-installing. I did this, and it fixed my problem with Lightroom, but now my Photoshop CC will not launch. I am on Mac OS Mountain Lion. I have tried launching from the dock and from the finder both.

Reinstall the original 5.2 and forget the CC version for now. It's exactly the same piece of software. What you did get was a second license, useful if you have more than two machines, but completely redundant if you haven't.
The situation is different when Lr 6 comes out. You'll get that as part of CC and don't need to purchase the upgrade. So at that point you can just install CC and leave 5.x where it is.

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?

Photoshop suddenly will not launch

Hello,
photoshop suddenly will not launch.
a dialog box displays: "Can not open a work file because the file is locked or you do not have access privileges necessary Use the command." Properties "in Windows Explorer to unlock the file." appeared 2 times every time I want to run photoshop.
Win 7 64bit
SSD (temporary files on another partition)
Photoshop 64bit
It is possible to open photoshop as qu'adminsitrateur but I do little more import files drag and drop. (Very unpleasant, I lose a lot of time)
This is the second time it happens, I reformatted my PC for 8 days, it is parfairtement own.
A tool, an idea?

Your response in no way applies to my message to you. I did not submit a print screen nor did I submit a image to you of any dialogeue box. Your canned response is simpy pathethic. Due to your and Adobe's inabilty and/or lack of interest in supporting paid customers' difficulties with your software, I will continue to run assorted fix-it scans and attempt to fix Adobe's inabilty to launch on my own.
I will be seeking an alternative to your software - I can no longer rele y upon Adobe - which I have been using for at least 12 years...please notify Adobe that they have lost the long standing allegiance of a user - of the largest winery of the world. BIG mistake! Once I find an alternative, I will now do my best to convert the entire winery to the alternative. All of this originated because I purchased the Photosoft 7.0 software for use to benefit a local non-profit that the winery has been supporting for 45 years - HUGE mistake on Adobe. Hopefully, this will teach them a lesson.
Just because a customer appears to be a individual user does not mean that they do not have influeunce elsewhere...the company that you suport is about to lose a huge looser. It is Adobe's loss...there are plenty of other alternatives out there.
I work full time to support myself financially...and I volunteer my time to a local non-profit art gallery (where I am on the executive board) to support my artistic interests....shame on Adobe for ignoring the individual just because they appear to be a simple user. By the way...I also sit on two boards at the local college....my research on alternatives to Adobe will certainly be shared with them - especially in these budget cutting times.

CD will not eject and MacBook Pro won't restart

CD will not eject and MacBook Pro won't restart.

Do a SMC reset, that hopefully should get you booting and while booting, hold the option/alt and trackpad button down at the same time. Once a row of icons appears and if the disk hasn't ejected via the trackpad method, then press the eject key on the keyboard until it does.
Click the arrow to boot up OS X.

If this doesn't work, then take the machine in for service.

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.
