Problems opening photoshop in G5-computer wants to update

Help!!
I've finally run the G5 firmware update that's supposed to keep my computer from freezing, but everytime I try open any adobe program, I still get a message that it's "updating adobe online components" and something about AWEXfiles.txt and nothing ever happens and I can't open the program. I have to force quit the program and try again, but I keep getting the same thing. How do I keep this from happening?

Hi--
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Your problem sounds more like it's a Photoshop/Adobe trouble and not Mac OS X (or firmware). The error about AWECfiles.txt would be very important. Can you post the errors you get exactly?
Alternatively, look for a folder called "Web" in this path: /Library/Application Support/Adobe. That's the "Library" folder that's in the top level of your hard drive, not the one in your home folder. If there's a "Web Folder" there, drag it to the desktop and try to run Photoshop and see what happens. If Photoshop launches, you've found your culprit.
You might want to copy that folder to a CD or somewhere for a backup just in case. The delete it from your Desktop.

No way to open photoshop on my computer?

Hello, I'm running windows 7 on my laptop, I've recently installed photoshop cs6 trial and it comes up on creative cloud. All the program files are on my computer but there are no photoshop icons or shortcuts to actually open the application anywhere on my computer? How can i open photoshop? Very confused, all help appreciated

Usually photoshop cs6 puts the photoshop cs6 shortcuts at the top of the Start>All Programs menu.
If not there, you can go to either
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)
or
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6
right click on the Photoshop.exe and choose Send to>Desktop (create shortcut)
Then double click on the shortcut created on the desktop to open photoshop cs6

Whenever I try to open Mozilla Firefox my computer wants to open up OS 9.0. Does OS 9 have to open up?

When I try to open Mozilla Firefox my computer tries to open OS 9.1. Why does it have to open an old operating system? Does it have to open OS 9.1?

I don't think Firefox ever ran in OS9 so this seems very strange. What version of Firefox?
You have posted in the Tiger forum but your profile shows your OS as 9.1.
If you are using Tiger BDAqua's suggestion makes good sense.

I have new computer, want to update itunes on new computer?

I want to update itunes on new computer with my old iPod nano version 4. How can I do this?

If you already have iTunes on your computer, then open it up.
Go to the menubar at the top of the screen, and select "Advanced"
In there, you will see the option "Check for Updates". Select that.

Problem opening Photoshop and Illustrator

I've been using CS6 Photoshop and CS6 Illustrator for months now through Creative Cloud. All of a sudden they stopped opening/crash everytime I try to use them. I updated to CC yesterday to try and fix this. I still have the same problem however, and can not get the apps to open successfully. I've tried trouble shooting, and there was indeed a problem detected, but that's all I know. I have restarted my computer and Photoshop/Illustrator many times since then. How can I solve this issue?

Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by pressing command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift while starting Photoshop until the appropriate dialog appears after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)

CS2 Error message-can no longer open Photoshop on my computer

Bought/downloaded/installed CS2 in July, 2006. Tried to open it today and got the following message: Your Adobe Photoshop user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid. This application cannot continue and must now exit. My computer no longer allows me to open it. It has opened fine up until today, and the other programs (such as Acrobat) in the Suite still open. Do I need to re-install Photoshop

I'd sure try deleting the preferences file before reinstalling it, just in case that file has become corrupted.
Press Ctrl - Shift - Alt immediately after starting the application, and confirm at the prompt.

Having problems opening photoshop 7.0 in windows 7

I installed photoshop 7.0 on Windows 7 (64 bit). When I try to open it I get the following prompt:" Could not initialize Photoshop, Scratch disks are full". I contacted Microsoft, they were not able to resolve the issue, they suggest I contact Adobe and get back to them, if problem is not resolved. Is there a fix for this problem?

try resetting your preferences by holding down shift-ctrl-alt while starting ps. you'll see a confirmation dialog if done correctly.
if that fails, use a hd less than 1 tb
if that fails, uninstall and reinstall using compatibility mode (with a compatibile os).

Problems opening Photoshop

I have Photoshop cs3 on my Mac. Recently, everytime I try to open it it gives me this message:
"You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting you IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help."
I've done the uninstalling/reintalling thing but I still get that message.
Someone help!?

I once saw that very same message when our internet connection was down. It had nothing to do with reinsatlling. Make sure the machine in question has a solid connection to the internet. If it does, check to see if any firewall / antivirus software has been updated or changed.

Problems opening Photoshop Elements 7

I recently formated my PC back to factory settings (I have Vista) and re-installed Elements 7. When I try to open it, it says that Windows has encountered an error and searching for a solution. Then it closes. It will open if I pick "Organize" but I then go back to problems when I pick edit? Any thoughts? I installed a fix (Elements 703_Patch), but that didn't help. It worked just fine before I re-formatted. Thanks. Mary

Best guess without more info is that you have a TWAIN device driver installed, such as one for a scanner, or possibly a digital still camera or webcam, and that driver is either malfunctioning or otherwise incompatible with the Editor.
Use the info in this document to determine if that's your issue:

Problem opening Photoshop Elements 11

I just installed the Photoshop Elements 11 but I'm unable to open it.

Hi,
Please run the .exe file that would have downloaded in parallel to this .7z file. Invoking that .exe file would start the extraction of .7z (a compressed file).
Once the extraction is done, you may please invoke the installer exe from inside of the Photoshop Elements folder
thanks.

Problem opening photoshop

Please can you tell me what this message means. Try to explain in a simple lamans language so i can understand
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the photoshop cs6 extended version 3 times but i still get this message.
What do i do?

I don't recall that dll, but I would assume the msvcp means microsoft visual C++. If thats so, then it maybe a dll needed for the runtime. Try reinstalling the runtime library. You can find a copy on microsfts website in the downloads section do a search for visual C++ runtime. Then choose the library for your system, whether it is a 32 bit sytem or 64 bit system. It matters which one you choose. You can find out by looking at your system specs. They can be found in the control panel then bdl click the sytem icon, the sytem information app (start button>all programs>accessories>system tools>System Information {windows xp, vista and 7} or type system information in the start buttons search), Photoshop's help menu has its own system information as well.
If that does not do it, you can find an app on microsofts website called sysInternals. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/default
This is a collection of apps(if you choose the entire suite), one of which is autoruns and should be availible by it self. This app will tell you everything that is loaded into windows at startup. It will tell you what files that it can not find and what folder they should be located in. Knowing the folder location may tell you what program created the files for that folder, or at least give you a hint. Then it should be a bit easier to reinstall the app that is creating that error.
Because, this error is aimed at photoshop, my guess is the runtime files. In fact, you could uninstall photoshop, uninstall the runtime, then reinstall photoshop. Photoshop is suppose to install the runtime, if it can not find it. Doing it this way, may save you a bit of agravation. Assuming this is the problem.
I wish I could be of more help, but like I said, never ran across that issue before. Hopefully, I am pointing you in the right direction, if not I appologize.
