Photoshop won't open DNG files or says get are absent?

Suddenly, ,most of my photos show up in Bridge as DNGs and when I try to open them with PS CC I get one of two messages: PS does not recognize this format or that the photo is missing. But when I use another program, it shows the photo.

Hello, Gene,
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I got shunted to the forum while
waiting for a chat session. When you answered I was already in it, so
figured I would go ahead. Chat took only took 2.5 hours and two technicians
to figure out that Camera Raw had been corrupted. When it was reinstalled
all was good.
Thanks again,
John

CS4 won't open DNG files

I've converted some Olympus RAW(ORF) files using DNG converter 6.7 that supports my camera. The files converted, the icons are in the folder, but if I try to open the file(s) all I get is "Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."

You need to set the DNG preferences for compatibility to "Camera Raw 5.4 and later" for CS4 (I think).

Photoshop won't open any files!

application opens fine, but won't open any pics(jpg,tiff,psd,etc.) It won't even open a new file image. Please help!!!! This is a school emergency

If you go to up to the top menus and look under the Window menu, do you see your file listed at the bottom of the Window drop down? If so, it's open but not visible. Did you ever have a second monitor hooked up to the computer? It could be that Photoshop thinks the monitor you are looking at is the second one instead of the main. You may have to go into your display settings to make sure you don't have a second monitor that you're not using, or have your main monitor set up as your secondary. If all else fails, try to delete the Photoshop settings file. Hold cmd-alt-shift (for Mac, or the PC equivalent in windows) while Photoshop is opening and confirm to delete the settings file when prompted. That usually clears up most problems.

Photoshop won't open GIF files.

I'm running Photoshop CS5 64-bit and I can't open GIF files. I don't know why or where to start searching for an answer. Anyone with some ideas on what I might do to try and resolve this problem will be much appreciated.
Mike

Hi Mike,
Do this trick ..
lets say the file is image.gif
1- Rename file to whatever to be as video i.e. image.avi
2- Photoshop (CS3 & higher) : File -> import-> video to layers
3- unmark the keeping animation .. and its done

Photoshop won't open .png files

I had a trial version of Illustrator on my computer and when I went to open a .png file in Photoshop, it automatically opened it in Illustrator. Since I don't know enough about Illustrator to move the open .png file from AI to PS, I deleted the trial version. Now the .png doesn't open in anything but Paint. It doesn't give me the opportunity to browse for other programs to open it with. How do I get it to open in Photoshop again, please? Thanks very much for your help.

That didn't solve it for me. Trying to open a PNG file, with PS association, I got: "file-format module cannot parse the file."
I installed a PNG plug-in. It didn't help.
I created the file, but don't have much control over it; it's from a web cam.

Elements 5.0 Won't Open DNG Files

I used Adobe DNG Converter version 8.3.0.141 to convert .rw2 files created by my Panasonic Lumix FZ200 camera. These files won't transfer into the Organizer and, when trying to open them from the Editor, I get an error message saying the file can't be opened "because it is the wrong type of file".

Works for me. I used Adobe Camera Raw 4.6 in PSE, and the DNG Converter set to compatibility "Camera Raw 4.6 and later".
What version of Adobe Camera Raw are you using? (In the PSE Editor, use Help About->Plug-Ins->Camera Raw)
What compatibility are you selecting in the DNG Converter?

InDesign update CS5.5 won't open new file / can't get monitor RGB colors

My biggest problem...a job to do a b&w booklet for a 50th class reunion ready for printer. Tried PS. Downloaded trial of Publisher, but haven't tried. Upgraded Creative Suite to 5.5 to use InDesign. Everything I set as prefs, formats, etc. as soon as I hit enter I get a full screen empty page and a cursor that twirls until I force quit. Do you know why? Do I need to uninstall the earlier version of CS? I should be done with this project and haven't begun. Should I just go to PS and create a tabloid format master and do it all manually? Should I try publisher? Can I get InDesign to work? My reputation is at stake and I want to get the job done rather than tell him this late that I can't do it!
While trying to set the template for the book in InDesign, somehow I now only have 2 colors... blue and graphite, for my display of everything. Tried ColorSync, DigitalColor Meter, tried to find out what resolution to use, I'm lost! NEVER had these problems b4! Please help me ASAP if you know the answers!
How will I know if someone answers?

Does this happen with all CS4 files or just some?
Do those files work in CS4/on other computers?
Where are those files from?
Are they perhaps on a networked drive? An USB stick?
Can you save a new file and open that?

Aperture won't read DNG files

I'm sure there's a simple solution I've missed, but Aperture 3 won't open DNG files converted from Olympus RAW (ORF). Any suggestions?
Brian

Aperture 3.5.1 and the camera is the Olympus OM-D E-M5.
And yes, Aperture will convert the RAW/ORF files but the devil is in the details. And since you asked (sort of), here are the details:
I own and have happily used Photoshop CS4 for the layered compositing I like to do, but it won't support ORF files
I tried importing/converting them in Aperture then editing in PS4 ... but Aperture 3 and PS4 don't play together well, so many come back as "unsupported file format"
Apple can't fix the problem and Adobe no longer supports PS4... put another way, Apple can't do anythig but they care, and Adobe could do everything but they don't care
It got worse when I upgraded to Mavericks, so to get around that I had to upgrade to Photoshop CC and pay the monthly "rental"
Aperture and Photoshop now work, but the demands of running them both are beyond my aging iMac that can't be upgraded, so I have to buy a new one, but the monthly fee (which everybody assumes will only go up in cost) + purchase of a new iMac for a guy on a fixed income are too much
So, I thought if I used DNG to convert the ORF files I could import them into Aperture for all the basics and organization, then use PS4 for the compositing... but Aperture won't read the DNG conversions.
And that, as the man used to say, is the name of that tune,
Brian

Photoshop CC 2014 won't open any files, not even create new ones

I have a freshly installed version of Photoshop CC 2014 and it just won't open any single file no matter what I do. I also have Illustrator CC 2014 installed for the past week, and it is behaving fine, and even opening up the files that Photoshop won't open (jpg, psd, png, etc.).
I've tried uninstalling completely, and reinstalling it, and it still won't open any files. Basically, nothing happens after I click the "Open" button from the Open File dialog window.
I've also try resetting my user preferences using this video tutorial, and it also didn't resolve the problem: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/preference-file-names-locations-photoshop.html
Has anyone else experienced this or can give information on how to resolve it?
Thanks!

Well, I finally got it to work through trial and error. Here were the steps that I used to get it to work:
1) Make sure that you are not behind any firewall/VPN/etc, just a direct connection to the internet (if possible). I use Adobe for my work laptop, and I was informed that this could potentially be an issue during installation processes.
2) Uninstall Photoshop via the Creative Cloud application interface.
3) Right-click on the Creative Cloud icon from the system tray and "Quit" (it was automatically started for me from a previous bootup)
4) Right-click on the Creative Cloud desktop icon and choose "Run As Administrator"
5) Re-install Photoshop
After performing the above steps, I can now open any png/jpg/gif/etc file, as well as start a new file. I have no clue why it works or if my steps played any role in fixing it, but I thought it was worth sharing for others to try if they encounter a similar issue. It could be either the firewall I was behind, or the permissions (I don't think Creative Cloud boots up running as administrator). But I am in no position to say I know the exact resolution. Hope this helps!

Photoshop won't open my raw files and Bridge won't show thumbnails

Hi,
I'm having trouble with my Photoshop CS6 and Bridge CS6 on my Mac. It's been working fine until a few days ago, but now the image thumbnails won't load in Bridge, and I'm not able to open RAW-files in Photoshop (same thing happens when opening both from Bridge or in Finder).
When trying to open the files in Photoshop a pop up message shows up saying this:
"Photoshop cannot open this file.
If you are attempting to open a raw file from a digital camera, make sure you have the latest Camera Raw update installed via Help > Updates.
If the problem persists, visit the following link for more information:
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111"
I'm not able to click on updates, so that won't help me much. What can I do to get it back to normal again?

I do not use a Mac but Windows as delivered from Microsoft does not generate Thumbnails for RAW files or even Photoshop Files like PSD in order to seen the in Windows UI like Windows File Explore (Mac Finder) or in File Open and selection Dialog one needs to install some windows add on. I use FastPictureViered Codec Package, When installed on Windows I can have the thumbnails your looking for. Perhaps You need some Mac add on or Apple Update the see thumbnails for RAW files. I see things like this on the web Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 4.06

Photoshop shut down while I drew a picture, now the file is broken and I can´t fix it, photshop won´t open the file and I have tried repearing it with different programs. What should I do?

Photoshop shut down while I drew a picture, now the file is broken and I can´t fix it, photshop won´t open the file and I have tried repearing it with different programs. What should I do? I spent 6 hours on the pic and I dont even have a screenshot or anything.

You don't even say what platform you are on, or any other details that may help others assist you.
If you are on a Mac, try opening your file in GraphicConverter (they have a demo version) if that doesn't open it, nothing will, in my experience.
I assume you have tried Adobe Illustrator already to recover.
You may also have a JPEG of your complete file (flattened) in Bridge Cache.
On the Mac you'd find it in your User ~Library (NOT the Root Library ):
Users > yourname > Library > Caches > Adobe > Bridge CS6 > Cache > 1024 > jpg(fileID)number Filename.psd.jpg
The user ~Library is hidden, but you can make it visible for an moment or two. Ask Apple if you don't know how.
I don't do Windows.

My iTunes won't open! It keeps saying 'The iTunes Library.itl is locked on a locked disk or you not have write permission for this file.' Please Help!

My iTunes won't open! It keeps saying 'The iTunes Library.itl is locked on a locked disk or you not have write permission for this file.' Please Help!

this may happen on external drives if:
The external drive was hotpluged (removed) without going the correct "eject" way
The iTunes library (database) got corrupted
First Aid for external drive
Close iTunes
Unmount (eject) external drive the right way.
Mount drive again
Go to Workplace -> right click external drive -> choose "clean up" This will force the filesystem to rescan the file structure of the drive and rebuilding the file system table and journaling file.
After the tool shows "done" (could last some time depending on size of drive) restart iTunes
If your iTunes library is on your internal drive, this may happen
The system was not shoot down correct, e.g. "pulled the plug"
The iTunes library (database) got corrupted
First Aid for internal hard drive
Close iTunes
Reboot system
Go to Workplace -> right click external drive -> choose "clean up"
After the tool shows "done" (could last some time depending on size of drive)
Reboot system, restart iTunes
If none of the above fixes your problem, post here.

I am trying to use the trial creative cloud software on a PC windows 8.1 - I've downloaded and removed Photoshop CC 2014 two times - every time I open the file it says there is a problem and it shuts down and closes. I can open indesign and maybe other apps but photoshop no. Any ideas?

I don't think I can access the crash report? Excuse the ignorant questions I'm about to make am a relative tech novice.
Soo - as mentioned every time I open photoshop it crashes - it just says there's an error and the program will shut down and if there's a solution windows will notify me. Then nothing...
I've tried to look in photoshop files for the detailed crash report & the system event viewer but cannot find a file with those names. I've also looked in the windows files for files with those names but cannot find them either - so I don't know where to look.
Any guidance would be great.
