Photoshop window disappears

So Photoshop just started this neat little trick today where everytime i open the program, the program window pushes itself to the far right corner of my screen and no matter what i click i can't get Photoshop centered on my screen.  I can't open any files and I can't see any tools except the Photoshop logo and the File button...which I can't select for some reason.  I've tried rebooting the program as well as rebooting the whole machine, but the problem has persisted.
I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I was upgraded to Windows 7 about a month ago...would this cause my Photoshop to operate like this?

Reset your graphics driver by uninstalling it and then reinstalling it. It has stored some bad config data. You may also do this manualyl by sifting through the registry and erasing all stored window positions, but the first methosd would be easier (and safer).

  • Dreamweaver CS4 (Mac OS X) window disappears from desktop

    this is actually not a Dreamweaver-specific problem, because it applies to all Adobe CS4 products. But it is most irritating with Dreamweaver, because users often need to look at Dreamweaver windows at the same time as other applications (such as a web browser)
    Since CS4 (and maybe also CS3) but not the older versions, opened Dreamweaver window(s) disappear from the desktop whenever another application is activated or selected.  This makes it extremely difficult to view both Dreamweaver code/windows, and any other application unless that other application's window is first positioned in such a way that you can see it, but don't need to click on it, then you click on the Dreamweaver application.
    This does not happen with any other non-Adobe application - the whole point of having large screens, multiple windows and multiple processors is to be able to do more at the same time.
    Even without explicitly leaving Dreamweaver, this is a problem, because, if I perform a file comparison between the local and remote file, the opendiff application will be launched; the Dreamweaver file window is still on the desktop for that time. But, the moment I close the opendiff window, all Dreamweaver windows disappear. I have to go to the dock and click on the icon to bring back the window.
    You can imagine how annoying and time consuming this is if you're performing a number of file comparisons, as I have to do often.
    I therefore prefer to use my old version which did not behave this way.
    I could not find any setting in preferences to change this behavior.  Is there a chance this will be fixed someday?

    I've said it before and I'll say it again.
    Your Desktop is just a folder, but it's not like any other folder on your HD. The more "crap" you keep on it, the slower your system will run, because Windows Explorer (not the browser - the one that opens and manages all of your windows) interacts with it ALL THE TIME so the more stuff it has to go through to run DW, or Photoshop or Windows Media Player or whatever, the bigger the drag on WIndows. The same for Mac OS X and FInder.
    Put your site(s) in their own folder in your documents where the most active folder on your HD doesn't have to constantly update with every letter you type in a page.

  • Safari 3.0.4 on OS 10.5.1 not crashing but browser windows DISAPPEAR! Help!

    I know there is a thread in the beta forum with a generic title "Safari acting strange" but I figured a more specific thread title might get more attention from those experiencing the same anomalies.
    Here is my problem:
    I'm using Safari 3.0.4 that came with the Leopard 10.5 disk I installed on my laptop. Safari was working fine for a good couple weeks and then suddenly it began acting strange indeed.
    Now after an undetermined amount of time when I have a Safari browser window(s)/tab(s) open it will suddenly disappear off my screen without provocation (meaning I don't have to perform any action to do this. I can be sitting there not touching the laptop or typing anything; it will just disappear as if some unseen person with a remote control hits the Let's-mess-with-this-guy's-computer button). At first glance it seems that Safari has crashed.
    However when I look to see what happened or perhaps relaunch I see that Safari is still up and running. The menu bars all work. It seems to be in perfect working order. Only problem is the browser windows have disappeared and nothing I do will bring them back. I can try to create new browser windows and Safar thinks it is creating them because I can check in Windows menu and see the fruits of my efforts stacking up more and more as I add new windows and tabs in an attempt to get the browser windows back. However where these windows live is a mystery to me. When I try to quit Safari I get an Alert message asking me if I really want to close the windows with the multiple tabs in them (further supporting the theory that Safari still thinks windows are open and seeable by me)
    When I DO quit Safari and relaunch it, it remains in the same state. No browser window is seen yet looking in the Windows menu I can see that a new browser window is present. The only way to use my Safari again is to reboot my computer. Of course this fixes the problem for maybe 5 minutes until the browser windows disappear again. And that's when I switch to Firefox.
    I've repaired permissions. I've checked for any Input Managers folder for culprits but seeing as this is a fairly new laptop and that I just did an Archive and Install of Leopard with a fresh Safari in toe I have not installed any 3rd party applications so no Input Managers folder exists anywhere on my laptop.
    I have the standard Safari Plug-Ins that come with Quicktime.
    I have Spaces turned off. I am not using dual monitors so the browser windows are not being shot off to a second screen somewhere.
    I see nothing in the crashlog because I actually don't think Safari is treating this behavior as a crash. It's not quitting unexpectedly or anything.
    So I am at a total loss. Any ideas?

    I had this problem as well.
    First: In Safari go into preferences and select the "security" tab. Uncheck "Enable Plug-ins"
    This fixed a lot of bugs for me !
    Second: If that worked than you just need to go to Hard Drive/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    There should be a folder there that is called "Disabled Plug-Ins" I just put all of the plug-ins in that folder, went back and rechecked " Enable Plug-Ins" in Safari preferences, and then one by one added plug-ins back out of the disabled folder while reloading a web page that caused problems before. After some trial & error I think I have a setup that works for now. Hope this helps!! Also as of now I have installed all software updates. My mac has been doing this for a while. Logging out & back in reset safari back to where it was useable.
    I have not had problems with any other programs.

  • ICal week view window is gone. When selected the window disappears.

    Whenever I click on view->week view (or just the "week" button on the bottom row) my ical window disappears. No idea where it is going. If I click on view->day/month the window comes back. However, after it comes back in day or month view, the info sidebar (and button at the bottom to control it, along with the todo and results list buttons beside it) now isn't there.
    Any ideas how to fix this? I think it happened when I plugged my laptop into a 1024x768 projector and then changed my mind quickly and unplugged it, but it has been like this for a couple of weeks now through several reboots etc.
    This is a macbook pro running tiger.
    Thanks,
    Bruce

    Bruce,
    Often iCal display anomalies can be rectified by refreshing the iCal plist file.
    Quit iCal, and drag the com.apple.iCal.plist file which is located in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder to the Desktop. Then log out/in or restart and check iCal for desired behavior.
    ;~)

  • Month View makes window disappear

    HI I am wondering about this - I was using iCal and it was working fine, then I cam back to the computer later, and the calendar had disappeared. I quit restarted, repaired permissions, all to no avail.
    What I am finding is that I can see my calendars in Day and Week view, but if I change to month view the window disappears. It also does thew same if I press cmd+3.
    I only use it on one computer, am not syncing to anything. The only that may have been strange was that I was connected to an LC Projector when i was using it, then I disconnected while it was still open. Afterward it doesn't seem to work. But I have also reset the displays to detect that there is not a second monitor, etc.
    I am using a Powerbook G4 17", 1.67GHz, running 10.4.8, and iCal 2.0.4
    I also can't seem to find an updater.
    And just to try - how does one reset iCal to begin with, and not lose all calendars - I've been using it for about 3.5 years (and have the next 8 months scheduled out on it) and haven't had trouble until now, and don't want to lose everything.

    Hi,
    The window positions are kept in your preferences.
    Quit iCal and try moving the com.apple.iCal.plist file in User>Library>Preferences to your Desktop, then re-start iCal. The preference file will be re-created with the default settings, this will not affect the contents of your calendars.
    best wishes

  • Can't access top of photoshop window under mac menu bar

    The top of my Photoshop window has slipped under the Mac menu bar-and I can't acces it. I've tried re launching PS, it opens in the same position. I've tried the tapping the F key- does not solve it. I've tried different work spaces- still the same. I've tried using mission control- it lets me see the top bar in the photoshop window, then when I choose it, it's still the same.
    Is there any way to hide the mac menu bar when I have PS open so I could grab the title bar and bring it down?
    HELP- Thanks

    I tried everything suggested here and on other sites and nothing* would work for me. I luckily have other monitors plugged into my laptop and when I unplugged one, the top of the Photoshop title bar showed up on another monitor.
    * I tried changing my resolution to a larger resolution and when that didn't reveal it, I changed the orientation of my one of my attached monitor. I could see the top of the title bar then on another monitor, but since I couldn't control my mouse easily and get it back to my main monitor/laptop where the system preferences box was, it timed out on me and I wasn't able to grab the title bar of Photoshop. I only mentioned all that because if someone is not working on multiple screens and the resolution trick doesn't work for them, maybe try changing the orientation...but that was only an option for my attached monitor. So maybe none of this is a helpful tip. Sorry!

  • Open images in the Photoshop window look pixelated, but same images in Acrobat or viewer look fine. Help in resolving? Link to screenshots.

    Some files and images I open in the Photoshop window look pixelated or choppy, but when I open in Acrobat or viewer they look fine. This just started about two weeks ago. I reset my settings, and all of the the help topics come up for blurry images/re-sizing. I have had this problem with .tiff, jpg, and pdf files.
    Thank you!!

    That black degradation in the background at the top looks like an old ATI driver bug where if for a given pixel the red channel reaches zero all three colors of the pixel would go black.  I think that was a couple of years ago we were seeing that.
    See if AMD has released newer drivers for your FirePro card.

  • Problem with two monitors while using Photoshop, windows move from 2nd screen to 1st screen.

    Problem with two monitors while using Photoshop, windows move from 2nd screen to 1st screen.
    I saved a new workspace and it did not help.
    No problem before I went to Maverick.

    I found the fix, go to System Preferences and open Mission Control and uncheck the box to keep monitors as they were (When switching to an application...........)

  • Mail messages window disappear when searching

    Hello,
    I'm using Mail 8.0 on OS X 10.10 (14A389). With French language and localisation. This is something I already noticed in Public Beta.
    I have my Sent folder selected (maybe it would happen with another). I start typing something in the search box. Then the whole main messages window disappear immediately. But Mail thinks it's still visible. Even search suggestions continues to show. Typing cmd+0 to hide/show the messages window does not help.
    I have to restart Mail to get my messages window back.
    This happens randomly. After restarting Mail I can search as usual without the window disappearing. But sometimes later it will happen again.
    Anyone encounters this too? Is this known from Apple? Any better temporary workaround than restarting Mail?

    It still happens and it really gets boring. I have Mail 8.0 (1990.1). It happens from any folder selected: Inbox, Sent, Smart Inboxes...
    How could such a bug remain undetected and not fixed asap? Maybe it's a plot from Apple to get us to ditch Mail and instead buy Unibox, Sparrow or Airmail from the Mac App Store so they get more $$$ commissions?

  • How do I get rid of the Photoshop window my files are docked into?

    all files opened in Photoshop CC are 'docked' or nested in window called' Photoshop Window"? How do I break the relationship, so my files are independent from that window?
    Mind you, 'Float in Window' option is NOT gonna cut it because while seemingly independent, when the 'Photoshop Window' is closed - ALL my documents close as well. Can you help?

    In CS6 is at the bottom so most people miss cause they think alphabetically like me. Though at all possible CC did something with this.
