Please help! I can't open files in Photoshop 2014.2

I installed (and reinstalled and rebooted ad nauseum) Photoshop 2014.2 and now I can't open any files in Photoshop. When I click on a file in Bridge or in File Explorer, Photoshop will open but the file won't open.
I'm running Windows 8.1. I've updated my graphics card driver. My files aren't corrupt, because I can open them on 2014 on my laptop. Please, please help! I'm dead in the water and this is my business!

What have you done for trouble.shooting other than re-installing (which would probably be pretty much moot anyway if one does not uninstall and use the clean script first)?

Please Help! Can't open files

Recently I have been unable to open pdf files to view. Not sure what has changed but I have downloaded the adobe reader several times, open the file and get a message that says adobe is installed, open and running. When I go to view a file, I get a black screen with a message that says " Before biewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End user license agreement then quit and relaunch the browser" I am using Safari as my browser which I have always used but this has been happening for several weeks now. I would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions. Thank you!

Go to: Mac HD/Applications and double click the Reader app. The license agreement will open followed by Reader. You may then open PDFs in Safari.

How do I get rid of the Microsoft Setup Assistant loop? I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word, and stuck in a loop?

I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word (for 2008), and stuck in a loop?
Whenever I select Word Microsoft Setup Assistant appears, asks for feedback, then after selecting okay (both on saying yes or no to feedback) goes on to a registration page. When I click on this it says I've already registered so I just click okay, and then move on to a update page. After this, if I click on Word, the process repeats itself.
As I said, I don't have the disk to reinstall, and can't find the Office Settings to delete as many pages have suggested I should try. Safe Boot restarting also hasn't worked... Really stuck and need Word very soon for work.
If you can help, that would be great, and feel free to ask any questions about the situation as I'm not an expert here.
Cheers,
Jack

First, export your contact from iCloud.com and save them on your computer in a safe spot some where (like you desktop). Use this to help you do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606
Next, on both of your devices, go to Settings > iCloud and turn on contacts and select Merge. Then turn off contacts and select 'Delete form my [device]' when prompted.
Now go back to iCloud.com and select a contact (yes they will all be messed up again) and select Command+A on a Mac or Control+A on a PC to select all of the contacts. Tap the delete key on your keyboard (or right click /control click a contact and select delete).
You iPhone, iPad and iCloud.com should not be empty for contacts.
Go back to Settings > iCloud on both devices and turn on contacts again (you should not see merge this time).
Next, go back to iCloud.com and import your contacts (those exported .vcards). You can either drag and drop them into the empty contacts list in your web browser, or you can use the gear icon to import.
You cleaned up contacts should import correctly into iCloud.com and sync to both of your devices.
Good luck.

Can't Open Files in Photoshop CS6 13.1.1

Ever since I updated my Photoshop to 13.1.1 I can't open files in Photoshop. Everytime I try to use file > browse it hangs when I select a file to open and then when I try to just double-click on a .psd file in my normal Finder it never opens and it hangs the program.
I'm running 10.8.2 on a 15" MBP Retina and using Creative Cloud. Any help would be appreciated since it's preventing me from working on this computer.

Cyndi -
I would start with the easiest thing Archive the preference file to your desktop then we can continue from there if that doesnt work.
- Close PS
- Type this into your run menu
%appdata%/adobe/adobe photoshop cs3/
- Now drag the Adobe Photoshop CS3 Settings folder onto your desktop
- Keep the adobe folder window open
- Launch PS
- If this works then there was something corrupted in the preferences somewhere
- If this doesnt work then delete the newly created preference folder from the adobe folder and drag the one from your desktop back into the adobe folder.
Hope this helps.

Help! Can't open files in all programs since installing version cue upgrade

Please help. A few days ago I got some pop up (I'm in windows XP) saying updates were available for 2 adobe things. I just chose yes and kept working. Now, I can't open files in any of my CS3 programs. I have lost 4 days of productivity and fear losing my mind next!! after doing some research, it appears alot of people are having trouble since uploading some version cue upgrade for cs3. I followed their suggestions and unchecked VC in photoshop (my first offender) and suddenly I could open files again. But now I can't in Illustrator, but in preferences, it does not have VC checked.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the whole package. I've tried just uninstalling VC. Nothing's working and I'm having major deadline problems now.
Please, please help! Thanks.
Anne

You can try a system restore to a point before the update. If you're lucky, it might work, but I often find System Restore will fail when you need it the most.

I can't open files in Photoshop

All of sudden I am unable to open files in Photoshop, either by launching from a folder or opening in Photoshop... all I get is the spinning wheel of death. I've trashed my Photoshop preferences, ran cocktail, repaired permissions and restarted several times but nothing works. I've tried openeing several different files with the same (non) results.
I'm using CS2.
Please help!!!!!

Thanks to everyone who replied to my query.
I repeated the diagnostic steps again (trashed preferences, ran cocktail, repaired permissions) and it worked this time. The only thing different is that I disconnected my peripherals... not sure if that had anything to do with it.

Please Help! Can't open pdf files online.

Several days ago I attempted to update my Adobe Reader. I'm using a MacBook with OS 10.9.3. I have a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. After installing I received an error which says "internal error occurred" After reading LOTS of websites, I finally used my Time Machine and reloaded the old adobe version. It works to open pdf files on my computer, however, when I go to websites, it says that I have to accept the adobe legal agreement before the pdf is opened. So many webpages are locked because I can't figure out where to accept these permissions. Firefox will open these same web pages, but the screen is filled with distorted writing, all which basically curses adobe. I believe your software has a virus and I wonder if you've found a fix. Please help!

Hello Pat,
Thank you for your reply, however, when I launch the older Adobe Reader application, it simply opens and does not ask for me to accept the agreement. When I launch the newer Adobe Reader, I receive an internal error message and then the reader crashes. I have attempted to re-load the new reader many times, I've deleted all of my old Adobe files including the files located under LIbrary/.... For many days I wasn't even able to open PDF files which are saved on my hard drive. Using Apple's Time Machine, I was able to restore an older version of Adobe Reader which I can use to open files on my hard drive. However, with the old reader and with the new reader, I still cannot open files on the internet - many web pages have items that I wish to open (spec sheets for example). I have to send the links via email to myself and open them on another computer (extremely inefficient and time consuming).
I decided to try using Firefox and what I noticed is that when I try to weblinks that are PDF files, they open with distorted lines of text. When you read the lines of text, there are broken sentences that say odd things (some profanity) that are directed at Adobe. I won't repeat the lines here. If someone from Adobe would please contact me directly (you should have my email information), I would greatly appreciate it. It's obvious that there is a virus in your software.
I need help ASAP because my computer is my business computer and I'm really at a halt. I need to have access to spec sheets which I can no longer open - or even download. Buying a new computer to fix my Adobe Reader is not an option.
Please help.

Please please help - i can't open swf files

I have downloaded Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Shockwave Player to play some swf files I have downloaded. These files still say that Windows can't open them though and I don't know why. I've tried uninstalling reinstalling etc but the computer doesn't seem to know the Flash Player is there.
Thanks anyone who will help me fix this!!!

Thanks Lee, I downloaded a stand alone player and now it works. I really appreciate your help!!
Thanks again,

Please help! Can't open the illustration in CS6. Illegal operand.

I worked for two weeks in an illustration and I can´t open the file. Illustrator show the message: "Can't open the illustration. The illustration contains an illegal operand.((((((( -410390914..."
I followed instructions that I found in forums about make an script for recovery files, illustrator maked a new recovered file and a txt file, I deleted the lines that appeared in the error message, but it continues giving me an error and doesn´t open the file. Can anybody help me, please? Thanks!
He estado trabajando dos semanas en una ilustración con la versión CS6 de Illustrator y no puedo abrirla porque me da el mensaje: "Can't open the illustration. The illustration contains an illegal operand.((((((( -410390914..."
He seguido las instrucciones que aparecen en otros foros para hacer que ilustrator intente recuperar el archivo, ejecutando un script. Me genera un nuevo archivo .ai y una versión en .txt en la que elimino las linéas que dan error, pero sigue sin abrirmelo. Alguien puede echarme una mano? Gracias!

Just following up on my results if anyone is interested.
Raghuveer's kind offer to help recover the file didn't yield the results we needed. He was only able to recover the PDF component which was nothing we couldn't do if we tried to open the corrupted file with Acrobat. Opening the file this way isn't editable.
I did however have some success with the developer of the Recovery Toolbox for Illustrator software. The original file that I couldn't recover with the software was able to be recovered by the developers and a subsequent corrupted file was also able to be recovered by their software, but not before I failed to recover it with their software and sent them the new file, which they were able to recover using the software and sent me a copy too.
I was noticing quite a few bugs with their software when I was having trouble recovering the files but it would appear that restarting my computer (something I do quite infrequently as I leave my computer on 24x7 and don't have much need to) may have helped get the software working as expected.
So all in all, Recovery Toolbox for Illustrator is handy piece of software and the developers stand behind it when it doesn't work as expected. But if you are in a bind and need a file recovered ASAP that the software cant do, the time it took tech support to get me the recovered version of my file was was approximately 48 hours. Which in this situation was too slow as we needed it for a presentation that had been and gone by the time they sent the repaired file back. But your needs may vary from ours.

ITunes has gone apesh*t! Please help! (can't locate files)

Good day!
I recently installed iTunes 7 (a few weeks ago, I guess.) For the most part, it has been working fine. But tonight, when I opened iTunes, it asked questions as if it had just been installed for the first time.
Now, all my music is stored on an external hard drive (J: Drive), and it defaulted that it was in my "My Music" folder in "My Documents", so I fixed that, and that didn't solve my problem: It can't locate any of my songs. (Here's the weird part, it can play the handful of MPEG files I have, but not the 99% AAC files. Both types are on the external hard drive). It lists them, but can't locate them, and i don't want to tell it the exact location of almost 5000 songs.
I tweaked a bit with my "iTunes Library" music database file, but that didn't help. Does the XML file ("iTunes Music Library") have any purpose?
Help me out!

I'm having the same problem.
iTunes lost about 100+ of my songs. I can manually go through and fix them but I'd rather not go through each one and track it down. I can see what's wrong in the library xml file but fixing them there doesn't do anything.
I tried recreating my library files and iTunes completely lost the songs along with several podcasts and all my playlists. Thankfully I'd backed up the library files before trying this, so I'm back where I started.
The date sounds about right, was that when the update before 7.5 came out? I also noticed that iTunes had reset my library location around that time(caught it and fixed it though).

Please help, I can not open the word document after I have exported from a PDF

Please help, I have bought this programme to convert PDF documents to word documents. All I find at the moment is that the document is not being converted and will not open once I have saved. It asks which programme I would like to select to open the saved file, and them does not work.
Please let me know where I am going wrong?
Ko

Good day Ko,
It sounds like the file extension may have been dropped when you saved the file to your computer.
Does your converted file have the .docx or .xlsx extension on the end? If it doesn't, try renaming the file and appending the file extension. You should be able to open your saved document in Word or Excel then.
Kind regards,
David

DW CS4 Please help me find my open files menu

I'm running DW CS4 off of my external hard drive that I booted up a 2009 MacBook Pro. The program is working but I cannot find the files window even though it's checked. Any thoughts? Please help. Thank you.

Hi todd85,
Can you try moving to a default workspace and see if it works?

Help,I can not open files

I have windows 7 and I can not open certain files,I am not very computer literate so please bare with me.
I recieved a document which is file type DOC FILE (.doc),when I try to open it I get a message saying adobe reader is unable to open as it is not a supported file or is corrupted.
I can open files if they are pictures sent as an attachment but not Doc format files.
I tried removing adobe reader and and reinstalling it but no joy.
any ideas
Thank you in advance

I'll guess that you are trying to open your .doc files by double clicking on their icons, which in this case would indicate a file association problem. Right click on the icon of one of your documents, select in the Open With box whatever program you use for text files, and check on Apply to All. Wording may be sligthly different because i am on a Mac right now and in any case my OSs are in Spanish.

Can't open files in Photoshop CS3...Please Help!!

So last night I was downloading some pictures off my CF cards and apparently I have way too many pictures on my pc and it's full! So I stopped downloading and started deleting!
But while I was doing that, I tried to open some images in photoshop and it just freezes up. The dialog box pops up for a brief second when I try to open the image and then it just disappears. Then I can't click on anything. I have to "ctrl-alt-del" to even shut photoshop down. Does any one know what's up or how I can fix it?
I'm using CS3 and windows xp if that matters...
I have two drives. The drive that I have photoshop on has 184GB left on it...so plenty of space. The other drive...the one I store photos on...only has 32GB left.
I deleted a bunch of photos (need to go buy more DVD's to back up so I can delete more), uninstalled photoshop, cleaned up both hard drives, re-installed photoshop....and it's still doing the same thing. I don't know what else to do....

Cyndi -
I would start with the easiest thing Archive the preference file to your desktop then we can continue from there if that doesnt work.
- Close PS
- Type this into your run menu
%appdata%/adobe/adobe photoshop cs3/
- Now drag the Adobe Photoshop CS3 Settings folder onto your desktop
- Keep the adobe folder window open
- Launch PS
- If this works then there was something corrupted in the preferences somewhere
- If this doesnt work then delete the newly created preference folder from the adobe folder and drag the one from your desktop back into the adobe folder.
Hope this helps.
