Photoshop won't launch all of a sudden

I'm using Photoshop CS4 on a MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). It's worked for quite a long time with no issues and now (seemingly out of the blue) it won't launch. Here is part of the report I get when it doesn't launch:
Can anyone make any sense of that? Thanks!

Sorry...posting the report didn't work the first time. Here it is. To see it large enough to read you need to click on it for an enlarged view. Thanks.

  • Photoshop won't launch

    For some reason Photoshop will not launch.
    This is on a G4 dual 867 Mac 1.75 GB RAM Mac OSX 10.4.11
    I had CS3 working fine for a long time and things were fine....
    but it has recently stopped launching. When it stopped launching I deleted and uninstalled all Adobe products and tried re-installing Photoshop 7.0 that didn't work either. Still won't launch. Repaired permissions and restarted multiple times.
    Ran Disk Warrior just for grins... still won't launch.
    Deleted all preference files... still won't launch.
    tried re-installing again... still won't launch.
    Tried launching from a different user account just to see if the user account may be corrupt but it still didn't launch.
    Adobe Image ready will run after installing off of the 7.0 disk but photoshop will not.
    any ideas?

    Here is the crash report... if it helps.

  • *** HOME button won't work all of a sudden - help!

    I have a weird problem. My phone hasn't been dropped on the ground or in water but all of a sudden, the home button doesn't work anymore. Nothing feels broken on the phone (i.e. the button doesn't feel like it won't press down) but whenever I'm in an app and need to exist, pressing the home button does nothing! If I'm in my email and want to surf Safari, I have to reboot my phone - which is obviously very annoying.
    I tried restoring my iPhone as both a new phone and from my latest backup but it still doesn't work - bummer. Is my phone broken or does anyone have any tips and tricks that could get it up and running again?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Possibly a hardware problem. Mine developed that issue, although at first a really hard press worked. Apple replaced my phone.

  • After Migration to new iMac, old Photoshop won't launch

    I used the Migration Assistant in Firewire Target Disk Mode to transfer my old Apps and files and folders from my intel Macbook to my new 24" iMac. I had to do it several times since it transferred Applications okay, and all the folders, but the folders were empty on the new machine. I finally had to drag and drop the contents of most folders. Everything seems to be working okay now except for one glaring failure. My old Photoshop 7.0.1, which was working just fine in Rosetta on the Macbook, no longer works at all. It will not even launch. I get an error message that due to an "unrecoverable error" in programming, Photoshop will close now, almost as soon as it tries to start. I have a number of other Power PC applications (even Adobe ones) of similar vintage that are working just fine. I tried reinstalling the Application entirely (still have all my old Apps!), but it had no effect on the failure to launch. I checked with Adobe and they declined to support such an old version. Any ideas on what could be causing this that I might check? Having blown all my money on the new iMac I really cannot afford to purchase a new Photoshop right now.

    Photoshop 7 is not compatible with Mac OS 10.5 and Adobe offers no fix. You'll need to upgrade.

  • Photoshop won't launch after reboot

    Hi Adobians!
    For some time I'm having an issue with PS CC: Every second time I reboot my system, PSCC does not open up, though the process is in the task manager. Everytime I try to relaunch PS, another process appears. Closing any number of then will not result in a successful launch. Funny thing is it works after reboot of the machine, but the next time I reboot, it won't work. So I basically started to reboot my machine twice... but there must be another solution.
    My System is an ASUS ROG G750 Notebook with Win7 64bit installed.
    I have not reinstalled Photoshop yet, since I would prefer to find a solution for this problem rather than find a way to work around it.
    Regards,
    Phil

  • Flash, After Effects and Photoshop won't launch!!

    Hi,
    I've been a CC member for quite some time now, and recently I've had to re-install Windows 7 due to a major crash. Getting almost back to normal, I installed all the apps (above) which are required for my average day job. Only this time none of them will even launch, they don't show the splash screen anymore. Is there a fix for this?
    I'm running :-
    Windows 7 Ultimate (SP1)
    GTX 680 - driver v335.23
    I've signed out the CC panel, tried running but nothing happens. I saw another thread suggesting renaming OOBE, which I did and then I do get an error. I have also tried to uninstall the programs but I can't, it won't allow me as there are no un-install files in the folders.
    Please help, arghhhhhh

    Any ideas on what could be wrong, I forgot to add that Lightroom does launch! I haven't tried my other Apps. I'm thinking this might be a graphics card issue!?

  • Photoshop won't launch, closes on start.

    We have photoshop version 5.5 on one PC (XP) and VS 7.0 on another and though they are old they worked happily for years till just lately, now both fail to launch, "Adobe Photoshop has encountered a problem and needs to close" ??? What could be wrong ?
    Help is apreciated.

    "Are Photoshop and OS fully updated.."
    Not ph shop because it can't be opened, OS - yes
    "  and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop,  just tried that - no luck 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, can't deactivate beacus can't open ph shop.
    system maintenance, I think that is pretty much done font validation, don't know what that is -  surely can't be something like that  ??)
    Looking thru Program files found version 5.0 that wont' open either. Remember, the old versions have been sitting in there for some years with 7.0 working fine. A second PC here has 7.0 on it and it stopped working as well - same behaviour. We have a older PC here as well we hardly use (XP pro as well), it has 7.0 on it which works fine(!!).
    Anyone? :O)

  • I have just installed Mavericks and Photoshop won't launch-Program error.

    I just installed Mavericks to a new Macbook Pro, then installed a fresh copy of CS5.1. Everything works except Photoshop CS5.1, which fails with a "Program error". I've stripped out everything Adobe, Re-installed , re-entering serial number, tried Adobe Suite Cleaner Tool. Still the same. Any more thoughts?

  • The CC app on my Mac won't open all of a sudden...

    I just restarted my laptop but it didn't make any difference. I had the CC in my dock and it always worked fine, no it won't open at all. I have an alias in my apps and found the original in the Utilities. I am not really sure how that distribution happened. I just updated to CC PS 2014 Could that have caused the problem?

    Very vague description. It is difficult to tell from this description.
    Are all of the apps up to date?
    Are they compatible with your iphone software version?

  • Internet won't connect all of a sudden...

    One night I was on my internet, watching a baseball game, and everything was working perfectly. Then the next morning, I went to open my internet and it wouldn't connect. I checked the other two computers in the house (that are using the same AirPort) to make sure it wasn't just the internet, and they both were working fine. I checked my Network Status and the AirPort and AirPort Settings were both green but my Network Settings, ISP,Internet, and Server were all red. I changed my IP Address to match that of the desktop that was working and it changed my Network Settings to green, but now the ISP, Internet, and Server are still in the red. I called in for technical support to our Internet Provider and even they didn't know what was wrong. Has this ever happened to anyone? Does anyone know what I should do? Anything at this point would be appreciated.
    Thanks In Advance....

    Hi. I just received a Macbook myself, and I am having the exact same problems.
    I was wondering if anyone could help me as well.

  • My ipod touch 4th generation won't charge all of a sudden and I'm not sure what to do?

    When I get home from school I instantly put my ipod on it's charger because I use it a lot during the day. i always put in on an ipod dock and play my music while it charges and use my computer until it's completely done charging. So, today I did that and had a friend over and while she was using my computer I asked her to pass me my ipod and she did and I used it without any problems whatsoever. After she left I put it on the charger where it did not work. I figured it was the dock itself so I turned it off then on and nothing it still wouldn't work, then I went and put it on an outlet charger where it acknowledged that it was on a charger and turned on for a brief moment then turned off again and again. It hasn't been used since then and it keeps truning on and off. I was getting worried and tried to look up some solutions online but wasn't getting any until I saw this one that said it could have possibly been from the static shock of something. My friend shocked herself before touching it then I did the same later while putting it on an outlet charger... could that be it? And if so, how do I fix it? Please I really need some help with this.

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
