Photoshop has crashed and it will not reopen.

I was working on a file and just had saved it. After it had completed the saving process, i proceeded to open my next file, but it wasn't there, it had disappeared. So I proceeded to restart the program. It wouldn't close so I had to force quit, and then my computer froze. I then had proceed to do a hard restart. I logged in, and tried to open photoshop and gave me two windows: 1. could not load actions because an end-of-file was encountered. 2. could not intialize photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted). So i tried resetting photoshop to find out that the file that i needed to that, was mysteriously absent. I then proceeded to check my external hardrive to make sure that i had the files, those too had disappeared.

If the whole computer locked up, you're looking at an OS bug, a low level driver bug, or defective hardware.
From the sound of it, your disk might be going bad.

    I use 10.3.9 and I have no idea why yahoo mail stopped working today. I have firefox installed on my machine. BTW - firefox is able to serf the web without issues on all of my sites. I often wonder why apple wanted to build a browser, why not just use firefox and contribute to it's development for the mac environment?

  • My mail just crashed just after it started up and it will not reopen.  Even after the prompted mail assistance reloaded it.  Any ideas?

    I'm having issues with mail starting up.  After it crashed it will not reopen.  The time wheel just spins with nothing happening and I have to force quit mail to stop it.  What can I do to get mail working again?

    Here is a photo of what I see when I tap on the mail icon to open it. It stays there for a second or two and then goes dark. Then I actually have to put my iPad into sleep mode in order to use it again. The app will NOT close no matter what I do, just shutting it down or put it in sleep and then restart  it.
    here is when I tap the mail icon. It looks like an empty page but you will see the format of the mail page. Next photo is what is see after a second. And the last photo is what I see before the iPad locks up or Les blank. I hope this makes things clearer as to what the problem is. Thanks for your help, hope this helps! Diane May.

  • Firefox will not connect to another web site and it will not reopen after I close it.

    I have removed Firefox and reinstalled it. I have tried to disable addons but it still will not open unless I reboot my computer. If this problem cannot be fixed easly, I will have to remove Firefox for good. When it is open, it will not connect to any URL I enter. When I close it it will not reopen and I get a message that says I have to restart Windows. This bug needs to be fixed. It worked one day and the next day it would not work.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    Also, everytime I try and open a file in photoshop cs5, it crashes. I get a GPU warning sometimes as well in Yosemite.
    Thanks,

  • I have photoshop elements 12 and it will not let me sign in to edit my photos, why?

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled it and everytime I press editor it just keeps telling me to sign in to my adobe account, I have signed on multiple times and it just will not open up to allow me to edit my photos on my computer, why could this be?

  • Adobe flash 11.01.152 is crashing and firefox will not close properly

    when I go to a site such as Castle Empire Adobe Flash crashes and hangs up fire fox then eventually will report the crash. When I close firefox then try to open it again I get an error message of firefox still running. This does not show in task manager as an Application running but does as a process. I have to stop the firefox.exe*32 before I can open firefox again.
    I'm running Windows 7 and have all the latest updates.

    It is not generally advised to install software in Windows Safe Mode. Only a small subset of the Windows operating system is loaded in Safe Mode. Some software will not install at all in Safe Mode. Some users installing software in Safe Mode have ended up with problems "down the road".
    If you can not install software in regular Windows mode, that '''''may''''' indicate a problem with your Windows installation which needs to be investigated, sometimes by a professional.
    You may sometimes be advised to un-install in Windows Safe Mode when a program will not otherwise un-install, but the un-install is not as complete.

  • Touch crashes and Backup will not install

    I installed the 2.0.2 update a few days ago, after my Touch crashed and refused to reboot.
    I wasn't able to restore from a previously made backup. It just told me, the backup was "not compatible" with my iPod... thought maybe it was about 2.0.1 vs. 2.0.2.
    After setting the whole thing up from scratch (a real pain with about 30 apps and 16GB) I made a fresh backup. It took about 5 hours to complete, but I did not interrupt it.
    Yesterday I installed an app over iTunes and while installing, my Touch crashed again. Instead of rebooting, it just hangs on the Apple-logo forever again... and it refused to restore my fresh backup with the same message about the incompatible iPod again!
    Why will this d... thing not boot. Why will it not use the backups. And why do this d.... backup take forever to complete?
    Any Ideas?
    Please Apple get this fixes ASAP

    I just installed about 16 of the previous 30 installed apps and the Touch is running without any crashes so far...
    Am I the only one with trouble using old backups to restore my Touch? Or did I miss something here?

  • I have one app that just randomly started crashing and now will not open

    I have an app- Game of war, that I liked to play. well one day it just crashed. I did all sorts of things; reset my warnings, deleted it, rebooted, even upgraded to the newest firmware and it still wont work. it just opens to a crash report screen, but even if i put in the report, it just quits. I went to the website and have been talking to the "developer team" and they cannot figure out what is wrong. I even sent them my crash reports. that was two months ago. anyone have a clue? This is the only app that does it. No other app does.

    Backup the iPad first, delete the app, reinstall tha app and then restore from the backup in order to recover your data.

  • Powerbook G4 crashed and OS will not reinstall, can you help?

    hello everyone. Yesterday at 11:46 my powerbook, which was operating normally, crashed and
    will not restart.
    1 I get a filefolder with a blinking face.
    2 reinstalling the OS, it will not recognize the disk
    3 diskwarrior will only green light the hardware
    4 zapping the PRAM did nothing
    5 I have OS on an external which yesterday would not boot, but today does
    how do I get the original disk to respond so I can reinstall OS?
    any help would be apreciated. BTW, I'm in Spain for the next several months,
    so going to the genius bar is not a solution.
    tks

    Hi drozman, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    I think your Hard Drive is a goner, Laptop Drives are prety short lived.
    Have run the extended Apple HW Test? Do you jave that CD?
    If not, Here's the list and downloads for AHT...

    Watch it closely, sometimes with a bad HDD it just skips that test and is the only way you can tell.
    Good luck!

  • HT201210 i am trying to update my wifes phone and something keeps crashing and it will not update.  this is getting frustrating.  can someone login to my computer and fix this.  i tried updating this on saturday morning and my wireless modem kept crashing

    i tried updating my wifes phone on saturday morning.  my wireless modem kept crashing and it restored her phone and it is blank.  i cannot get it to upload anything so the phone is useless.   can someone help

    No one on this user to user forum is going to log into your computer to help you. Why would you want a stranger in your stuff anyway?
    My suggestion is to take the phone to the nearest Apple Store and let them restore the phone for you. Then get your Internet problems sorted before trying to update any other iOS devices.

  • Firefox crashed and now will not start. Cannot create new profile or start in safe mode because Mozilla Crash Reporter appears and will not restart.

    Browing the web, Firefox crashed. Typical "this is embarrassing" window appeared and I could choose to restore or start new session. I tried to restore, and nothing happened. Mozilla Crash Reporter appeared, the option to quit Firefox seems to work but restarting just brings back the Crash Reporter. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but Crash Reporter persists. I tried looking through your articles on crash on startup, but I cannot open Profile Manager, nor start in safe mode, nor anything else, with that Crash Reporter popping up. I can't give you a crash ID as I can't type anything into Firefox address bar if I can't open the program. I'm running Windows 7 starter edition on a netbook. Honetly really only use Firefox on this machine, so help would be appreciated! Thanks.

    Maybe you did't understand my previous statement. There are no crashes in FF 3.6, There is no previous evidence FF 14 was ever here, I completely uninstalled all trace of Firefox, no app data, no preferences, no cache. I will upgrade to FF14 so I can send IDs,
    so here ya go.

  • While on Firefox my computer crashed and firefox will not open. Everthing else runs fine, how do I fix this?

    I'm using a new Asus netbook and have no idea what caused the crash. I tried restarting firefox in the crash pop up window, nothing happens. I tried quitting firefox and then restarting in the crash window, it sends a report and that's all. I cant open firefox. I have power cycled the computer several times, tried to checking and install all plug ins, re-install firefox, uninstall and then reinstall ( could not reinstall), I restored the computer to the previous day and it still wont open. I tried opening it safe mode, I tried opening the computer in safemode, I still can't open firefox. I also tried to test for a virus by creating a notepad document on the desktop and naming in firefox.exe. Notepad ran fine. I also renamed firefox.exe to firefox3.exe. This didn't work and changed the name back.
    What do I do now?
    The computer I'm sending this from is not the one that crashed

    Both your Conduit Engine, particularly, and Alexa Toolbar are known troublemakers. I would advise Googling both for advice and removal instructions.
    I'm not sure it is a good idea to have both Foxit and Adobe Reader.
