Photoshop files won't open outside the app

I have recently reinstalled Mac OSX 10.4.11 on my G4 PowerPC Mac Mini and Photoshop 8 files no longer open outside of the application ie by double clicking. I had this problem when I first upgraded my system and was advised to delete a particular system file. This solved the problem then but I can no longer remember the culprit file. Can anybody help?

    In more specific terms. The apps that came on the iPod like the weather and maps and whatnot have been working flawlessly. It's just when I download an app and then disconnect from wifi it's almost like I'm on a timer until the app stops working. It acts like it wants to open, the screen flashes black then resets to the home pages. I've tried all of the basic fixes, rebooting, reseting, uninstalling then reinstalling. But like in my...long...question, the reinstalling option only seems to be a temporary fix. I just recently downloaded the 5.1.1 udate (I think that's what it was) does that have anything to do with it, or am I just derpy when it comes to iPods?

    FCE 4.0.1 won't open when I click the icon in the Dock or in the Applications icon of FCE. It had been working well but I had trouble when I trashed the reference Scratch disk to a project and I was asked to get it back. I checked all my drives through verify in Disk Utility and a couple needed repair - eventually were given the OK. I then Shut Down and rebooted, I then trashed the FCE App and reinstalled from the Install discs and , finally, I tried opening a FCE project. None of these caused the FCE App to open with Browser, Viewer, Canvas,. Time Line. All that happens is the the first FCE window, the one that says FCE registered to...and the other that says loading AE Effects, Video Effects does show but then nothing except my Desktop with it's various folders and files I also downloaded the Plug In Tom Wolsky suggested to a recent query.
    All I can think of is to backup everything to HDs and take this iMac in for a service.It is only six months old - I reckon it will be poor driving by it's proud but unskilled driver!

    Don't panic . . . . . yet!
    You may not have trashed FCE properly.
    Deleting the application icon is useless as there are a number of files hidden elsewhere which may be corrupt.
    Download this free app to uninstall FCE completely and then reinstall it.

    I know it is called FCS Remover but it also works for FCE.

  • Photoshop files won't open in an way but inside Photoshop

    I just set up a new Intel Mac Pro and installed Photoshop CS4 on it.
    Now when I try to open Photoshop files by just clicking on them none of them will open in anything but Preview.
    The only way I can get any to open is through the "file - open" window inside Photoshop, which is a big waste of time.
    Everything worked fine on my other Mac, but now on this new one many things have changed even though it's the exact same program.
    And I can't find any settings that effect this.
    How can I change it?
    THANKS!

    Click once on a closed file (to highlight it) then from Finder go File>Get Info. In the Get Info window chose Open with: Photoshop CS4 and click the Change All button.

  • Hi, I have an iPhone 5s. I just downloaded the Hulu Plus app from the app store and it says that I can open it while I'm in the App Store however, it won't open and the app icon is not anywhere on my actual screen. What can I do to fix this?

    Hi, I have an iPhone 5s. I just downloaded the Hulu Plus app for my iPhone and in the app store it's as I can open it however when I hit open, it does not open in fact, nothing happens. Also there is no icon for Hulu Plus on my home screen so I'm confused as to what exactly to do I'm going to settings and there's only one thing that you can do which is reset. I tried that. nothing.

    Have you restarted your phone?
    If so, try a reset. Press and hold the home & sleep/wake buttons until the screen goes blank, ignoring the power off slider if it comes up.
    Check for the app again after the phone starts back up.

  • Premiere Pro 4 File Won't Open

    Hi all
    I have an adobe premiere pro file that won't open. When I double click on it, the load project bar gets to about four fiths of the way, then it just stops. The last time I saved the file, I saved it to my computer, then I saved it to a portable hard drive to back it up (around four minutes later). Both versions of the file won't open. The previous file will open, but I have done 30 hours more work since then (on the new file). I thought it was enough to be saving every few minutes, saving back ups to a portable hard drive... I also have a raid 1 configuration! I was never expecting this. When I leave the Premiere Pro on the Load Project screen, it stays there for hours.
    If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it.

    Hi John
    Thanks for getting back to me. I just looked in autosave. The file that won't open was last saved at 11:02pm on the 16th. There was an autosave project at 10.25pm on the 16th, and that wouldn't open either (it crashes at exactly the same place as the other one). However, there was an autosave file at 6:17pm on the 16th that would open. Curious though, it doesn't seem to have a lot of the changes I thought I had made by this time. It seems to be earlier than this (although perhaps my memory isn't serving me correctly). Should there be more autosaves that this? I had the program open pretty much that whole time, and nothing between 6:17 and 10:25.
    Anyway, that's a start! Something must have happened between 6.17pm and 10.25pm that'd made the file go kaput. I would love to know what, so I can avoid this happening again. First things first though, it'd be fantastic to get the file that isn't opening working.
    Thanks for your swift response too, Jim. I opened PP and tried to open the file from the interface. The load project bar stopped at the same place. I can open other projects fine. As to your last suggestion, I created a new project, and went to File/Import then clicked on the file in question. It started importing, then the progress bar froze at exactly the same place. I'm not sure if I did this correctly. Is there another way to import a PP file into an existing PP?
    Thanks again for your time. It's just nice to speak to someone about this because I really freaked out when it happened.

  • Keynote '08 files won't open after cable replacement

    After what I've read, I'm so glad I didn't have the Apple Store install Maverick when the cable had to be replaced in my MacBook Pro as a work around to a possible drive failure. I thought I had successfully reinstalled everything via disk and back up restoration, but no, my Keynote '08 files won't open in the original program that created them and need "a newer version." Not acceptable. Can someone help me with this? I teach and need my original files for editing!

    I presume you mean Keynote version 4, part of the iWork 08 suite, (there is no version 08)
    1 -  Delete the complete iWork 08 installation, you must use an application removal tool to do this correctly.
    2 -  (Appcleaner from Mac Update is free and works perfectly for this)
    3 -  Re-install iWork from the Installation CD and test

  • Canon CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop CS4

    I'm using a Canon EOS 600D (aka EOS Kiss X5), Photoshop CS4 (ver 11.0.1) with Camera Raw 5.7.0.213.
    CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop, though the thumbnails are clearly visible and open in Windows Explorer.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Yes, absolutely all of the quality and dynamic range is retained in the DNG, because it is still raw data.
    Outside of upgrading to Photoshop CS5, which can open your files directly with Camera Raw 6.4.1, your only choice is the extra step of converting the .CR2 files to .DNG with the free DNG converter.
    While you'll get all the quality your Camera Raw 5.x converter can deliver, you should keep in mind the Camera Raw 6.x converter has an entirely new, additional "2010 process" for converting raw images, which (depending on your settings) can actually deliver a higher quality conversion than the one you're getting with Photoshop CS4.  I think it's worth the cost of the Photoshop upgrade, personally.

  • Canon 7D Mark II files won't open in bridge or photoshop

    I am using photoshop CS5 and purchased a canon 7D Mark II and my files won't open. I updated to the photoshop 8.7.1 and my files still won't open. How do I fix this?

    …I updated to the photoshop 8.7.1…
    Assuming you mean ACR (Adobe Camera Raw plug-in) 8.7.1, not "Photoshop" what you write makes no sense.
    ACR 8.7.1 needs at least CS6 to run.  You will never be able to open your raw files from that camera directly in CS5.  There will be no further updates for the obsolete, unsupported CS5 applications.
    You have to go the free, stand alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.7.1.  Locate it, download it, install it and then launch and run it on ever folder of raw files to convert them to raw DNGs you can then open in your CS5 setup.

  • Photoshop CS5 won't open .kmz files

    Photoshop CS5 won't open .kmz files. I did a fresh install of Google Earth, opened it, saved a place, and saved a .kmz file. It reopens fine in Google Earth.
    When I try to open it in Photoshop, this message pops up:
    File Format Error
    This file is from a previous version of Google Earth or it is not a Google Earth file
    I get this message regardless of the following:
    - ps is closed and i right click the kmz and choose ps (rather than google earth) to open it
    - ps is open and i double click the kmz
    - ps is open and i choose file/open and select the kmz
    - ps is open and i have created and saved a new psd file, then choose 3D/New Layer from 3D File/ and select the kmz
    I have tried the usual remedies, change rwx permissions, repair permissions, delete prefs. No luck.
    Any thoughts? Software versions are below.
    Thanks.
    - Photoshop CS5 Extended 12.0.4 x64 (doesn't work in x32 either)
    - Google Earth 6.0.3.2197
    - OS 10.6.8

    I was trying to see (since Photoshop Extended touts the ability to open kmz files) if I could open a 3D Google Earth file and edit it in Photoshop. A file like this for instance http://ecotope.org/anthromes/maps/. After more research I've learned that kmz is nothing more that a container format - you can change the extension to zip and see what's in it.
    I ran across this tidbit in the Photoshop CS3 Extended forum:
    Photoshop CS3 Extended supports the ability to import .kmz files created from Google Earth 4 or exported from Sketch-up in the Google Earth 4 format. Photoshop CS3 Extended cannot open Google Earth files. If you have a Google Earth file, you can convert it to a Google Earth 4 format with the free version of Sketch-up.
    So, theoretically if I could get a kmz into Google Earth 4 format, I could open it in Photoshop. But I haven't had any success importing a kmz or kml into SketchUp. Even just making a native sketchup file and trying to import that in psd gives a ram error.
    Probably I'm wishing for the moon.

    Help!
    My Illustrator file won't open - it starts to, then after 1 second I get the error message: "Photoshop file is not readable"
    Any suggestions?

    Right now I am also having the same problem! Eeek! If anyone has a workaround that'll be awesome. Unfortunately, this is the only post I've seen that someone else has the same problem.
    Anyway, this is what I did...
    I made some images in photoshop and I linked them to my illustrator file. I saved several various versions of my illustrator file... but now all 10 versions of them won't work! I can't figure it out. I tried re-saving my PSD file (that I had all the images in) and yep.. no cigar.

Or, you can use the Find my iPhone app on your mom's iPhone, but the service would still need to be turned on on your iPod.
    Unlike Compukid said, Apple will not assist in locating a lost device without the Find my iPhone service.
    I found that out 2 years ago, it's just that I thought Apple might have changed that.
