Photoshop will not open, just continually loads. Any ideas why?

When I open photoshop it opens to the workspace but then a white box comes up and the program becomes non responsive and continually loads. Anybody else experienced this?

Try holding down Command - Option - Shift [Mac] or Control - Alt - Shift [Windows] while you are launching Photoshop. Answer "yes" as to deleting the preferences file. That will restore the default settings and, hopefully, fix this.

  • Mail App will not open....any ideas?

    Recently, while opening the mail app, I received an error message stating "You can't use this version of Mail with this version of Mac OS X - You have Mail version 4.5 (1084/1085). It can't be used on Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 (Build 10K549)." My software updater indicates that all software is up to date.  I tried using my recover CD and reinstalled Mail 4.0, but gives a similar message.  Any ideas on how get my software in order?  All help is appreciated.

    Just replaced my hard drive on my Mac book pro. Photoshop will not open error 150:30

    This is more of a Photoshop question than a Mac question. I typed the error into Google and there seems to be multiple threads about it in the Adobe forums. Here is one:

  • HT2476 cannot find java runtime and photoshop will not open

    running OSX Lion on iMac Photoshop will not open. It says I need to update Java Runtime, but I do not have any updates. It says I am not connected to the internet and I am obviously since I am here. Help!!!!

    Also, I just downloaded an upgrade to Topaz and it says cannot install on this computer...it is my main plugin for PS
    If you have gone to the Topaz developer's site and see no update for Photoshop in Lion, then all you can really do is contact them to see if they ever intend to update it.  What verion of Photoshop are you using by the way?

  • Photoshop will not open unless as Admin but that causes other problems

    Hi all,
    There are two problems:
    1.  If I don't run photoshop as an administrator
    2.  If I run photoshop as an administrator.
    1.  If I don't run as administrator, Photoshop will NOT open.  I can't even open .psd by double clicking them.  Can't open from the installed directory, can't open from shortcuts.  It only works if I right click run as admin or set properties to run as admin. 
    I am the only user for the system, and I have even taken ownership of all files.  Yet, it still requires me to run as admin.  I am running CS5 with windows 7 64bit.
    2.  If I run as admin I cannot drag or drop files into PS.  As detailed in here - http://forums.adobe.com/message/3640635.  I can open files manually through file menu, but dragging and dropping is disabled (shows a circle with a slash when i drag into PS). Their solution in the forum was to remove running as admin.  But if I do that, I get problem 1.
    Any ideas?
    Jason

    Option 1:  Clearly something went wrong when installing Photoshop, or you have changed permissions on your system for some part(s) Photoshop needs to access.  Verify, for example, that you have Full Control access to the root of the hard drive you have identified as scratch.  A reinstall of Photoshop might correct this.
    Option 2:  Windows UAC is likely the culprit here.  Some folks choose to turn off UAC completely, which means you'll be running everything as Administrator all the time, but that should not be done without FULLY understanding what UAC does for you and what additional measures you'll take to ensure your system doesn't get infected with malware.

  • Photoshop will not open some of my files

    I recently had a hard drive crash. I sent it to a recovery company and they returned my files on a new hard drive. Many of the images were recovered but some show up as CR2 files or psd files that photoshop will not open. The message says that this is a file format that PS does not recognize. These files seem to be no different from my other CR2 files and psd. files but the thumbnails don't show up in Bridge and PS will not open them. Can anyone tell me how to get these files to open?

    I thought this following suggestion to use GIMP to open stubborn PSD files was brilliant:

    you may also want to try using the DNG converter with your CR2 files:

    it's worth a try, but it's a long shot.

  • After installation CC, Photoshop will not open. Program error?

    I got a subscription on Creative Cloud. Downloaded CC and Photoshop, but Photoshop will not open. After the splash-screen, it says something about a program error, and then it stops. I deleted CC and PS and reinstalled everything, but still the same result. I work on a Mac, and all software is up to date..

    1. try resetting your preferences:  hold down shift-ctrl-cmd while starting ps.  you'll see a confirmation dialog if done correctly.
    2. if that fails, uninstall, clean and reinstall following the help here, http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html

  • Some new purchased songs will not sync to IPhone.  Any ideas on resolving this?

    Some newly purchased songs will not sync to Iphone.  Any ideas to resolve this issue?

    Similar issue:
    I purchased several complete albums from the iTunes store on my laptop. Everything syncs fine with my iPhone except for two tracks from two seperate albums. I get the same error for both tracks: "iTunes could not copy ..... to the iPhone because the file could not be converted."
    From what I can tell both tracks are the same format as the other tracks on those albums - m4a (purchased AAC audio file) and wouldn't need converting (except that I have "convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC" checked... but the other tracks convert just fine). Files play just fine on the laptop.
    I checked that everything was purchased with the same user accounts. Not sure what to try next... any ideas?
    In case it of any use here are the tracks:
    Being Single Again (track 2 from Louis C.K.'s album Hilarious)
    Letters to Magazines (track 15 from Paul F. Tompkins' album Impersonal)
    Maybe the tracks are just so funny that the iPhone is cracking up too much to transfer them over.
