Photoshop Help Opens By Itself

This has been reported before but the topic was closed. I am having an issue where Photoshop CS6 is opening 4 tabs in Chrome that all go to http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/topics.html whenever I click anywhere on the screen. This began when I was using the color picker and pressed CTRL-V to paste a hexcode. It might have occured before I was pressing CTRL-V because I didn't notice at first popping a ton of tabs open on my other monitor. I did not accidently press F1. I cannot access anything else in Photoshop now because every click will just open four new tabs. There were no answers in the last thread about this, but since it has been closed and it is still happening, I thought I should report it again. Any suggestions are welcome.

This has been happening in Photoshop for years (decades maybe).
No one has been able to nail it down yet.
Best guess I've ever had is that it's some kind of memory corruption due to problems in other operation that manifest as a failure in the event loop. Specifically, I had it once and a display driver update cleared it right up. That doesn't mean that it's always a display driver problem, but it wouldn't hurt to ensure your display driver is up to date.
What video card do you have? Generally you want to go to the web site of the maker of the card and download/install their latest driver, but AMD's latest released driver isn't working well with Photoshop and there's a specific version (13.3 beta 3) you'd want if you have an ATI card.

Help opens by itself

WIndows 7 x64 | PS CS6
For no rhyme or reason, Help often opens itself. Just now while attempting to edit a Channel Mixer adjustment layer's creation dialogue's settings, about 15 browser windows (not tabs but individual windows) trying to load Adobe help docs all popped opened simultaneously.
Killed Firefox's process and went back to PS.
Every time I went back to PS though, it would happen again, when I clicked in the Channel Mixer settings.
Got out of the loop by mashing the ESC button as I switched back to PS, which successfully killed the Channel Mixer dialogue.
I've seen this behavior in PS for about 4 versions now, but never this severe. How dysfunctional.
Any comments/thoughts?

It's apparently more or less severe (all the way to non-existent) depending on some unknown factors. Best guesses seem to be that it's "general memory space corruption".
I once had it pretty bad with Photoshop CS5 then it was solved completely by a display driver update.
There's a big, long-running thread on it over on the photoshop.com forum.

Photoshop is opening multiple times...WHY??? (please help).

When I double click on an image (from Bridge for example) to open in Photoshop it will open up CS6 and then sometimes when I open another image, instead of opening up in the same open Photoshop program, it will open up an additional Photoshop program. Both CS6, Version 13.0.6 x64. Super frustrating when sitting with a client and trying to add an image to a document and it opens up in a different program... Is there a way to see where Photoshop is opening from? Why would CS6 be opening multiple times???
I don't think I noticed this happening before I upgraded to Mavericks (yes, this has been happening for a while). I also have a back-up program called SuperDuper that mirrors my system on a separate hard drive. Could Photoshop be opening from there, too?
Thanks for any possible help!

I need help!!!! My iTunes has gone wild Itunes 10.5.3 starts, skips,fast forward and open by itself randomly?

One day out of the blue, Itunes began to open by itself interrupting pandora and playing at the same time with other videos and/or music that is playing on my computer. I have called The guys from mac support and they re started my computer, deleted Itunes helper, widgets are off, checked on activity monitor. It works find for couple of hours and then Itunes open automatically, even after I force quit i tunes. I change the headsets with no resolution. I even loaded up again Lion and nothing. Yesterday, after I sync my iphone 4 and I was listening to a video, Itunes began to do the the same as on my MACBOOK PRO 2011. I rebooted the phone and it appears to be working find. What is this bug that Itunes 10.5 seems to have? I have tried to delete Itunes form application folder and is not deleting it. Also I redownloaded Itunes again and it worked find for a day or 2 and then the problem persisted. th e CDs that came with the laptop to reset to original donot work because I loaded up Lion. Please I need help? thanks

Photoshop Online Help Opens on it's own and will not close.

While using the Layer style editing window in Photoshop CS6,
Photoshop Online Help opens randomly when I click inside the layer blending box. If I have clicked the box more than once the help will open in multiple windows (sometimes over 10 windows). Then an error message pops up and when I click "ok" it doesn't close. I can't work in photoshop again unless I force the program closed with the task manager and then I lose any unsaved work. I'm not sure which error it is because I forced the window closed before writting this message and since it happens randomly I can't make it happen again in order to find out which error it is. Has anyone else had this issue? If so, is there an update that I can install that fixes the help page error?

You are not the first to report this problem, but to the best of my knowledge Adobe has never figured out what causes it.
The gravity of "never" in that context is increased by the fact that people have been seeing this problem on and off I think as far back as Photoshop CS or possibly earlier.
Yes, really.
Nor has anyone discovered a solid workaround, though the advice to generally ensure everything is up-to-date is always good.
I had this same problem for a time on and off with Photoshop CS5, specifically when manipulating layer styles, and it immediately ceased when I updated my display driver - so from my perspective it seems to be brought about by latent memory corruption caused by another factor elsewhere, and Photoshop happens to respond to that corruption by popping-open Help.
My first suggestion is to go to the web site of the maker of your video card and download and install a fresh display driver.
If it is an ATI video card, I STRONGLY recommend upgrading to their Catalyst 13.3 beta 3 driver, as the currently released version is known to cause problems with Photoshop.

How can I stop Itunes from opening by itself?

Itunes keep opening by itself and it's getting pretty irritating at this point. I haven't purposefully gone into it in days, but it keeps popping up and starting to play music anyway. I quit it every time, but then, sooner or later, the same thing happens again.
I've done some searching to see if I could find any solutions, but the suggestions I've found haven't done anything. For one, I took "Itunes Helper" off of my "Login Items" under my account, but that didn't do any good. I also checked to see if I have any Itunes widgets running on the dashboard and I don't. I even disabled the Itunes widget. I've read that other programs could be opening it, but I don't have any new programs on my computer, so if this wasn't occurring before because of something else, I don't know why it would be now.
This is kind of driving me insane, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Pure guesswork, but when I had problems with iTunes launching again and again, the reason were my external speakers. I simply had to unplug the speakers from the line-out socket, and iTunes stopped launching on its own.

Problems launching Bridge from Photoshop and opening files as smart objects in Photoshop from Lightr

I am running Photoshop CC (up to date as of today) and Lightroom 5.2. I am hitting 2 major problems. In Photoshop if I select File/Browse in Bridge I get the following message
"Could not complete the Browse in Bridge command because Photoshop was unable to find the JavaScript plug-in".
However if I simply launch Bridge as an application it works ok (now I have reset the default application for all the appropriate file extentions to Photoshop CC rather than Photoshop in Bridge preferences) and opens the file in Camera Raw 8.2 in Photoshop when a Raw file is double clicked.
The second problem is associated with opening raw files in Lightroom 5.2, editing and then trying to "photo/edit in/Open as smart object in Photoshop" . In this case Photoshop opens with a blank screen and nothing happens Eventually about a minute later this message appears in Lightroom 5.2
"The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CC could not be launched."
Rather strange message as the first thing that happened was that Photoshop CC opened!!
Same thing happens if try "photo/Edit in/Edit in Adobe Photoshop CC" except that having shut down photoshop I see a message from Lightroom 5.2 saying
Lightoom was unable to prepare the selected file at ..... for editing. It will not be opened.
When I click the OK button on this message low and behold the tif version of the RAW file opens in Photoshop. ready for futher editing with all the Lightroom edits applied.
Can anyone help me in sorting out this problem please
Operating system is Windows 8 64 bit and I am running the 64 bit Adobe applications.

Solved the problems by uninstalling Bridge and Photoshop then going into Creative Cloud App and re-installing both.

Hi
I actually dont think its Lion (sorry i put that as couldn't remember) as not on that computer at the moment, its at home, I am at work. I know CS2 is compatable with whatever OS I am using because I can using CS2 indesign etc and I was able to use CS2 photoshop until I updated the Camino browser (I believe this is when it stopped working). I have CS5 but it wont work at all on my Powerbook G4.
I can send a message later with the OS I am using and maybe you can suggest other help? They told me in the MAC shop to try and get the installation discs. They also said I would be able to get these via Apple's 'media replacement programme' which I cannot find anyway! To be honest, I am not even sure getting the install discs will work but I'll try whatever I need to try and get Photoshop working on it again!
Thanks

Photoshop cannot open EM5 II RAW files even with 8.8 ACR?!

I have an active Adobe CC subscription so my Photoshop is already the latest version, but when I try to open EM5 II .ORF files, I get message "Photoshop cannot open this file." (see attached screenshot)
EM5 II is already officially supported according to Camera Raw 8.8 announcement page so why can't Photoshop open it? I thought there's something wrong with my setup so I downloaded and installed Camera Raw plug-in installer manually but the result is still the same.
I even uninstalled my Photoshop CC 2014 using Creative Cloud and reinstalled it, I just keep getting the same message.
Any other things I can try?

You are right, when I go to Help > Camera Raw, I see plugin version is only 8.7
But I've run the Camera RAW plugin installer specified in my post above, and DNG Converter is already at the proper 8.8
Why is Camera RAW not updating to 8.8 via Creative Cloud or the manual install? Inside Photoshop, I also went to Help > Updates but it's telling I already have the latest update.
Help!!!

ITunes opens by itself!

Hi, I hope somone can help with this... Since downloading and installing the latest iTunes update, iTunes keeps opening by itself for no reason, even when my iPod is not connected. I've repaired permissions and still it opens by itself. Anybody else having this issue? Hope someone can help, thanks.

There are several topics about this problem in this Discussion.

Hi Mac Attack,
My computer will not disconnect from the internet. It seems to find a clone router and continues even when I shut down and unplug my my own home iy
Your main question was 'chopped' in the title. Please reply in the body of a reply box with the full question and anything you have tried. And no, the long report was not helpful .
If the same website is opening each time you launch a browser (Safari?) hold down the shift key as you launch to prevent previous pages from opening.
Have a look at your settings in Safari > Preferences. Especially General and Privacy.
Reset Safari to remove cookies and other stored data.
System Preferences > General
