Photoshop no longer allows me access after update

Today I was told by Adobe Application Manager that Photoshop needed to update (both 32-bit and 64-bit versions) which I did.
After that I tried opening Photoshop only to be told that my Photoshop trial license had expired. I have a yearly Creative Cloud subscription and have never installed a trial version of Photoshop to the best of my memory.
I opened Adobe Application Manager to check the state of affairs and was told that application manager needed to be updated so I allowed that to go ahead.
After opening the updated application manager I was asked to sign in to Creative Cloud again which I did. Then all my applications except Dreamweaver were listed as simple "Install". However, I can open Illustrator as normal so it's clearly installed. I installed Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Photoshop and a few others in exactly the same way so I have no idea why they are all treated differently.
I then received an email from creative cloud confirming my email address. Not sure why. I have always used the same address and I get the confirmation mails at that address each month from Adobe reminding me that they are billing me.
I re-installed Photoshop from application manager and it installed and ran correctly when launching from the application manager. Then I closed it and opened it from the Start Menu. It opened successfully then it promptly shut down after about 1 second and displayed a window saying I have 9 days left in my trial and asking me if I want to join the creative cloud. This is not very funny. I search in vain for the button that says, "Actually, I am already paying a fair sum to be in the cloud and you know it, now let me in."
I tried loading the application manager and launching Photoshop from there but now there is no "launch" link.
I checked if there are two versions of Photoshop installed alongside each other but there are only the two executables (32-bit and 64-bit). Quite frustrated about now. Double-clicking "Photoshop" in the application manager doesn't do anything either although at least it recognises I have the latest version isntalled.
Now I go to open Illustrator and it says my trial has expired too. Oh, did I mention it's Christmas and I'm at work. (Wow, that automatically turned into a smiley! First thing to work so far! Things are looking up!)
(As for the user name apparently screen names 'frustrated', 'frustrated22', 'frustrated99', 'veryfrustrated', 'frstrated' are all taken. This was after I searched in vain for a support contact only to find an international phone number in a completely different time zone that has already closed for the day)

For others who have this problem, I found the solution here: http://www.seangw.com/wordpress/2012/08/help-photoshop-cs6-asks-for-serial-number-after-si gning-up-for-creative-cloud/

    Did you repair permissions?

    Are you using any non-Apple routers to connect to the modem?
    Is this with a notebook or a desktop Mac?

  • IPhone 5s no longer holds battery charge after updating to 8.1.1

    Immediately after updating to iOS 8.1.1, my iPhone 5s battery will no longer hold a charge. At 7:30 am (EST) it was 100% - by 10:30 am I had to plug it back in as it was down to 8%!!   From 100% to 8% in 3 hours ...
    I NEVER had a problem with my phone in any way before updating the software.  PLEASE HELP!   Thank You. 

    The same thing happened to me. However, I was 7 hours from home in the Baaken. I was in a situation that requred I keep the phone on for saftey reasons. My Iphone 5s died and is now a brick!
    I just ordered my first Android phone. It's unfortunate that Apple post Steve Jobs doesn't perform adequate testing on software. They are becoming just "another" company!

  • 3Gs no longer charges in car after updating to iOS 5

    I got a weird problem after updating to iOS 5. In addition to the battery drain, my 3GS will no longer charge via a 12 volt car adaptor. I know the cable and the adaptor work because my son's iPod and wife's iPhone 3G both charge from them. The cable also has no problems charging my phone when it's plugged into the computer or a wall socket.
    The battery drain is a bummer, but combined with no longer being able to charge in the car makes this a killer combination.
    Any help with this would be much appreciated.
    Regards,
    John

    You can try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If still problem then the iOS broke full compatibility. you have to then wait for either Apple to fix the problem in an iOS update or for Honda to fix it via a firmware update/
    Have you contacted Honda?

  • Windows 7 Bootcamp is no longer available in startup after updating to Yosemite 10.10

    I updated my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) and then after updating I could no longer see my Windows 7 bootcamp when starting up.  I followed this tutorial to try to get it too work again without losing any information: Windows 7 Removed after update Yosemite.  I got to the part where we rebuild the MBR, but I got to part 8 and then it said that partition 4 is either too big or does not exist. 
    I do not know what to do from here and was wondering if I had done something wrong and/or what I can do to fix it?
    Thanks in advance

    You seem to have found the correct partition. The following table has your values. (ASC thinks I have invalid characters in my table, so this is a screen shot of the MS Excel spreadsheet).
    Leave your Testdisk display and start a new Terminal Window. You need to use the following steps. If you see any error messages during the following steps, please stop and post back here with the error message. The following steps have values from your Testdisk output (and you can verify) in Steps 7 and 8.
    Rebuild GPT4 using start/end offsets
    Sudo gdisk /dev/rdisk0
    P  (print the full list of parts)
    D  (delete)
    4  (part 4)
    N  (new part)
    4   (part 4)
    589682688 - Start offset in bytes  (start point for Bootcamp part)
    +387422201 -  (Size offset as opposed to End offset)
    0700     (Windows part type)
    P           (print list of all parts just to see what changes will be made)
    W         (Write the new GPT)
    Y           (Yes! really write the new GPT)
      This will delete and re-write the GPT partition info for /dev/disk0s4.
    Rebuild MBR to match the new GPT information thus resetting the Hybrid MBR. Use defaults for other questions (like partition codes). The only values that need modifications are the Boot flags and step 6. Accept all other defaults that Gdisk offers.
    Sudo gdisk /dev/disk0
    P  (Print list of parts)
    R   (Recover)
    H (chooses Hybrid)
    Partitions numbers to be hybridized: 2 3 4
    Y (Good for GRUB question)
    N (part 2 boot flag)
    N (part 3 boot flag)
    Y  (part 4 boot flag make NTFS bootable partition)
    W  (Write the new MBR)
    Y    (Yes! write the new MBR)
    Reboot
    Here is a sample Q and A for the second set of Gdisk steps.
    Place EFI GPT (0xEE) partition first in MBR (good for GRUB)? (Y/N): Y
    Creating entry for GPT partition #2 (MBR partition #2)
    Enter an MBR hex code (default AF): Press Enter/Return
    Set the bootable flag? (Y/N): N
    Creating entry for GPT partition #3 (MBR partition #3)
    Enter an MBR hex code (default AB): Press Enter/Return
    Set the bootable flag? (Y/N): N
    Creating entry for GPT partition #4 (MBR partition #4)
    Enter an MBR hex code (default 07): Press Enter/Return
    Set the bootable flag? (Y/N): Y
    Test 1 - Does Bootcamp Volume show up in Finder?
    Test 2 - Can you see files in Bootcamp Volume?
    Test 3 - Can you select Bootcamp in System Preferences -> Startup Disk?
    Test 4 - If Test 3 is successful, select Bootcamp and Click Restart.

  • Form field no longer allows pinpoint placement after upgrade to Adobe 10.1.2

    We use Adobe to make all of our forms.   Placing a form field Checkbox, Text Field, or other requires placement of the field where we need it.   After upgrading to 10.1.2 the form field has a mind of it's own and no longer allows placement of the form field where you need it.  Could it be that more video memory is needed.  

    I found a solution...
    In main.cf I've change the line
    mailbox_transport =
    with
    mailbox_transport = dovecot
    I also found a second similar line which I removed.

  • Noob Warning - Shared Computers No Longer Appear in Finder after Update

    I recently (last Saturday) purchased a new MBP. I do a lot of photography and Photoshop work, and it was time to make the jump (especially with CS5 due out by the end of the month).
    Prior to the 10.6.3 update, the other computers in my home workgroup all appeared under the Shared section of Finder. Now, after the 10.6.3 update, they're gone. The other computers are a laptop running Win7 Ultimate, another running Vista Ultimate, and a third running WinXP Pro. I sometimes need access to these in order to work on images or Word/Excel files.
    Would appreciate any guidance as to how to get these computers back and appearing under Shared.

    Ouch!... I'm seeing the same thing.  Playlists that were seen prior to yesterdays update are no longer seen.  Don't see any options to disable them so hopefully this will get fixed.

  • Printer no longer seen in Classic after update

    I just loaded the latest 10.4.7 combo update. I can print to my Lexmark Z32 printer in OSX apps but not using the one CLASSIC program I use (and depend on), Quark 4.1. The OS9 chooser no longer sees the printer and the printer utility cannot locate the printer. This was never a problem before the update. I have re-loaded the latest Lexmark OS9 driver (several times, both with the printer attached and with USB unplugged) with no luck and have repeatedly deleted printer preferences. Have also loaded the latest Lexmark OSX driver with no change. My MacMini (pre-Intel chip) communicates with the printer via Appletalk. Can someone help???? Many thanks.
    Ron S

    Thanks for the suggestion but no luck. LW8 sends the file to the printer as Temporary Cusom PS file. Printer utility says job is printing then reverts to jobs stopped. Does not print. (This is probably a side effect of another new problem I've had since the update: after I have quit out of Classic I cannot print again in OSX until I have restarted.) Also I do need the print quality options available with the Lexmark driver.

  • Flash no longer working on Firefox after update

    Moments ago I installed the Flash update after it came up on my screen asking to update, after doing so Flash is no longer working on Firefox, it works fine on other browsers. I cant view videos, look at flash objects etc. It was working perfectly fine before up untill the update. Anybody know how to resolve or fix this issue?

    Dear Chris:
    Yes, turning off Protected Mode indeed solves the problem!
    Specifically, we today (June 9, 2012) installed the new Adobe Flash v. 11.3.300.257 on several Windows 7 PC's, all running Firefox v. 14 (Beta), and none of the Firefox installations would confirm that the installation was performed successfully.  For example, the Adobe Flast test/about site, https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about, would not work.  And, likewise, YouTube videos and other Flash-encoded videos did not work either.
    So, we tried your suggestion to disable the new Protected Mode, and it worked.  That is, every single machine on which Flash did not work in Firefox now functions perfectly.  So this conclusively demonstrates that there indeed is some kind of bug in the implementation of Protected Mode.
    Can you please let me and the other Adobe users know when this is fixed.  Thanks.
    Also, could you likewise let us know the risks of turning of Protected Mode (although we really don't have any choice, as Flash will not work on Firefox with PM turned on).
    Thank you.  Much appreciated.
    Kind regards,

  • Imac no longer going to sleeping after update on July 8, 2014

    just did the latest update on this week to 10.9.4 Build 13E28 on my iMac 2.5GHz Intel Core i5 and now my iMac well not go to sleep on its own.
    have already reset SMC
    pulled the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
    reset PRAM
    reset power setting in system Preference panel
    anyone else having this issue? my system was working perfect before this update..
    really don't want to wipe and rebuild my system at this point.

    Test after each of the following steps that you haven’t already tried:
    Step 1
    Take all the steps suggested in this support article. That's the starting point for any further effort to solve the problem. Skipping any of those steps may mean that the problem won't be solved. Note that, as stated in the article, the computer  will not sleep if Internet Sharing is enabled.
    Step 2
    From the menu bar, select
               ▹ System Preferences ▹ Accessibility ▹ Speakable Items: Off
    Step 3
    Select
               ▹ System Preferences ▹ Bluetooth ▹ Advanced...
    and uncheck both boxes marked
              Open Bluetooth Setup Assistant at startup if...
    Step 4
    Reset the SMC.
    Step 5
    Disconnect all wired peripherals and test. If you use a wired keyboard and/or mouse, use different ones. You must rule out the wired keyboard and mouse as possible causes of the problem.
    Step 6
    Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal. Don’t launch any applications at first. If sleep still doesn’t work properly, back up all data and reinstall the OS. After that, if you still have the issue, make a “Genius” appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
    If sleep now works as expected, go on to the next step.
    Step 7
    Still in safe mode, launch the usual set of applications that are running when you have the problem, including your login items, one at a time, testing after each one. Some applications may not work; skip them. You might be able to identify the cause of the problem this way.
    Step 8
    If sleep is still working after you’ve launched all the usual applications, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and test again. If sleep still works, you’re done, at least for the moment.
    If you still have the sleep issue after restarting out of safe mode, post again.

  • Flash Player stopped allowing full screen after update....

    Some where arround 10.0 the flsh player on my XP and Vista computers stopped going to full screen when using the little square in the lower right corner of the viewing area... The screen switches to blank white screen while audio continues in the backround... hitting excape brings back the previous screen with the small movie viewing area in the middle of the computer screen.    I noticed some where around this time hovering over the square that used to switch to full screen no longer brought up the text telling what the square was supposed to do....ie switch to full screen for the movie...At first I thought this was a Hulu move to get me to purchase the movies... The same results were on YouTube as well and other sites... I noticed that for a time Internet Explirer was able to switch to full screen but Firefox was not... I found that an update of the flash player on IE caused the same loss of full screen as on Firefox... (switch to blank white screen..)  Chrome has the same result... Blank white sceen with audio in the background...A search of the forum messages seems to point out a problem that comes and goes as versions come and go... I have found google search results that should lead one to a site that would let you go back to a version that worked for me, but everything leads me to the site that will down load the latest version included the last version that indicated it was fixing my problem and may have for the other hardware and software combinations... but not for any of my computers with XP or Vista... If there was a paid version of Flash player that would allow me to expand the movie beyond the size of a post card, I would buy it... I found a telephone number that apparent linked to India or somewhere where they will support for money but the operator did not give me any confidence that he would do anything other than take the cash....If any one has a "fix" for this, I would sign up for the support, or buy the version or what ever Adobe wants me to do to fix my problem... My email is [email protected]  I know that complaining about "free software" is frowned upon, but when the use of the software is demanded by having Hulu and others work only with their software, I think some effort to make the software work can be expected....Should we take the position that if we have a version that works, don't allow any updates...

    I haven't read the full text of your post, only "blank white screen on fullscreen".  If there are any other important info in the long text that follows, please let me know...
    Most issues with fullscreen can be corrected by either
    disabling Hardware Acceleration (Flash Player Settings)
    or installing the latest available device drivers for the video card

  • Firefox will no longer display Unicode symbols after update?

    I am using Firefox on Mac OS X Mountain Lion. Just about two Firefox updates ago (roughly Firefox 14), Unicode symbols suddenly stopped displaying that had been displaying fine—switching to boxes with numbers in them.
    I have changed my Encoding options to include every single form of Unicode available to me; I am not sure if that has any effect. (Screenshot here: http://puu.sh/QcF6 ) The best part? After doing so, restarting the browser makes the Unicode symbols appear again! No more boxes with numbers! Fixed, right?
    ''Nope''! When I come back to that page a week later, they are numbers in a box again. In fact, in some cases, the symbol will display temporarily (say, if I had saved it into a blog page), then when I go to edit that blog page, the symbol immediately switches back to box-with-numbers.
    This is driving me mad, and was not previously an issue. What can I do to fix this?

    Sorry for the late reply, I was waiting for the issue to re-occur. I have cleared and checked for damaged fonts, to no avail; the problem still exists. :(
    '''Edit:''' In addition, I've just checked in both Chrome and Safari, and the Unicode symbol that I'm attempting to display are working fine in both of those browsers.
