Programmabstürze in Word und Photoshop CS3

Kann mir jemand sagen, ob sich beim Mac auch Viren einschleichen können?
Zuerst hat sich mein Office am Mac verabschiedet und lässt sich nicht mehr installieren.
Und seit ein paar Wochen stürzt mein Photoshop CS3 nach ein paar Minuten ab. Es lässt sich zwar immer wieder starten nach einer Weile, stürzt aber ständig wieder ab. Da das Photoshop Teil einer Creative Collection ist, möchte ich wissen, ob ich nun die ganze Collection neu installieren muss oder nur das Photoshop anwählen kann. Muss ich das Photoshop auch vorher deinstallieren? Oder kann man mehrere Versionen auf dem Rechner haben? Weiß jemand, ob ich um die Neuinstallation herumkomme? Woran es liegen kann, dass sich das Photoshop dauernd verabschiedet?
Fragen über Fragen...
Bitte antwortet schnell!!! Bin am verzweifeln...kein Fachmann weit und breit!!!
Danke und Grüße

If it's a small amount of text with simple formatting you'd be better off redoing it in Photoshop.
If it's a lot of text you shouldn't be using Photoshop anyway. InDesign does this sort of thing properly.

Photoshop CS3 Conflict...HELP!

So I got a copy of the CS3 Master Collection. Everything transfered fine onto my computer but after I entered the serial number the program said it couldn't install Photoshop CS3 because it conflicted with Photoshop CS3.
I then searched the internet and found that you must first remove the trial or beta version of PS CS3 before installing. I read the instructions on how to do that (utilities>adobe installers) but nothing was in the adobe installers area.
Then I just got very pissed off. Erased everything on my computer (at least I think) that had the word adobe, photoshop, cs3 in it (including my previous copies of CS) uninstalled the CS3 Master Collection, reinstalled the CS3 master collection...to no avail.
Very frustrating and I am extremely aggravated and am ready to throw my macbook pro through the dry wall.
Any help? Suggestions?
Thank you so much!

You need the CS3 cleanScript do a search you should find it.
In fact I just did it for you.

Photoshop CS5 und Indesign CS3 frieren seit Mac OS Lion nach Inaktivität ein

Seit Update auf Mac OS Lion (ca. Sept. 2011) frieren vor allem Photoshop CS5 und Indesign CS3 nach einer Weile der Inaktivität regelmäßig ein.
Dazu ist es nicht nötig, dass der Mac (MacPro) in Ruhezustand geht, es reicht schon, dass man z.B. eine Weile in Indesign arbeitet und das nebenei offene Photoshop
ist plötzlich tot und lässt sich nur noch durch Alt-Apfel-Escape beenden.
Bislang habe ich auf dieses Problem nirgends eine Antwort gefunden, vielleicht weiß hier jemand im Forum Rat?
Ansonsten habe ich an den Programmen nichts geändert seit dem Update (sind auch stets auf neuestem Stand).
Bei 10.6 hatte ich das Problem nie.
Durch Schriften ausschalten (der übliche Verdächte) konnte ich auch nichts beheben.
Dennoch könnte, so mein Verdachte, es in diese Richtung gehen, denn:
alle CS-Programme (aller Versionen, ich benutze Kundenbedint CS 3 bis 5) mit Schriften sind betroffen, aber z.B. Bridge nicht.

Vielen Dank für die schnelle Antwort. Ich denke auch, dass es sich um ein Problem mit OS X handelt. Aber da es nur PSD-Dateien getroffen hat und keine PNG-Daten (die ich ebenfalls bearbeitet hatte), liegt es womöglich am Zusammenspiel von Adobe und OS X.
Ich dachte, womöglich taucht das Problem bei jemand Anderem auch auf.
Festplatten scheinen OK zu sein, Rechte auch – habe das aber nur mit dem Festplattendienstprogramm überprüft – von Onyx wird ja generell abgeraten. TechTool muss ich mir erst ansehen.
Habe auch mal den Parameter RAM gelöscht (NVRAM), auch wenn es daran eignentlich nicht liegen kann.
Da die Dateien nur noch 50-60kb haben, ist da wohl auch mit Wiederherstellung nicht viel zu machen, oder?
Allerdings ist ging nur die Arbeit von einem Vormittag verloren, da ich täglich Backups mache!
Womöglich muss ich den Rechner komplett neu aufsetzen... seufz
Sonst kann ich einfach nicht sorgenfrei arbeiten.

Aktivierung Photoshop CS3 ohne Seriennummer und Aktivierungscode

Hallo,
ich habe mir vor ein paar Jahren von einem Kollegen einen Windows7-PC gekauft. Auf diesem war Photoshop CS3 installiert und auch aktiviert. Ich habe mir dann das Upgrade auf Photoshop CS5 zugelegt und auch aktiviert. Jetzt ist leider die entsprechende Festplatte kaputtgegangen. Ich habe mir nun das CS3 von der Downloadseite gezogen und installiert, dabei aber nicht bedacht, dass ich ja keine Seriennummer und auch keinen Aktivierungscode erhalten habe. Mein Kollege hat sich beides auch nicht aufgehoben, so dass er mir nicht helfen kann. Wie kann ich nun das Upgrade auf CS5 weiterverwenden?

Gar nicht, schon weil du das Ganze ohne ordentlichen Lizenztransfer gemacht hast und es somit al ldie Jahre lange rein formal gesehen illegal benutzt hast. Somit ist die Seriennummer auch nirgendwo registriert und der Support kann nicht wissen, was du selber nicht weißt...

Photoshop CS3 wird mit Fehlermeldung beendet

Hallo,
wenn ich Photoshop CS3 beende, erhalte ich immer die Fehlermdelung: Adobe Photoshop CS3 funktioniert nicht mehr.
Ich nutze Vista Home Premium 32bit.
Ich kann das Programm dann schliessen.
Das öffnern und das arbeiten innerhalb von CS3 funktioniert dagegen einwandfrei.
Nur eben, dass beim beenden des Programms die besagte Meldung erscheint.
Gibt es dazu eine Lösung?
Vielen Dank.

Auch ich arbeite auf CS3.
Bei mir vergisst PS mal einfach eine Auswahl, dann kann ich nicht kopieren, verschieben, mal dies, mal das.
Das gleiche mit InDesign-
es macht keinen Spaß mehr, damit zu arbeiten. Das Programm raucht einfach ab.
Ich arbeite täglich seit PS3 mit dem Programm, aber so einen Ärger hatte ich bisher nie!
Systemabstürze hatte ich unter Mac OS X seit 2003 nie mehr. Denke, der Fehler liegt bei Adobe!

Adobe Photoshop CS3 collapse each time it load a big file

I was loading a big file of photos from iMac iPhoto to Adobe Photoshop CS3 and it keep collapsing, yet each time I reopen photoshop it load the photos again and collapse again. is there a way to stop this cycle?

I don't think that too many users here actually use iPhoto (even the Mac users)
However, Google is your friend. A quick search came up with some other non-Adobe forum entries:
.... but the golden rule of iPhoto is NEVER EVER MESS WITH THE IPHOTO LIBRARY FROM OUTSIDE IPHOTO.In other words, anything you might want to do with the pictures in iPhoto can be done from *within the program,* and that is the only safe way to work with it. Don't go messing around inside the "package" that is the iPhoto Library unless you are REALLY keen to lose data, because that is exactly what will happen.
.....everything you want to do to a photo in iPhoto can be handled from *within the program.* This INCLUDES using a third-party editor, and saves a lot of time and disk space if you do this way:
1. In iPhoto's preferences, specify a third-party editor (let's say Photoshop) to be used for editing photos.
2. Now, when you right-click (or control-click) a photo in iPhoto, you have two options: Edit in Full Screen (ie iPhoto's own editor) or Edit with External Editor. Choose the latter.
3. Photoshop will open, then the photo you selected will automatically open in PS. Do your editing, and when you save (not save as), PS "hands" the modified photo back to iPhoto, which treats it exactly the same as if you'd done that stuff in iPhoto's own editor and updates the thumbnail to reflect your changes. Best of all, your unmodified original remains untouched so you can always go back to it if necessary.

Start a newline in a textblock - Adobe Photoshop CS3

How do you start a new line in a textblock in Adobe Photoshop CS3? When I press enter, it simply accepts the text changes I've made. I have found that I can create a new line by copying it out of another program (i.e. - Notepad) and pasting it into the text block in Photoshop, but this is quite a pain. Is there a way to make the enter key create a newline? I've tried Shift+Enter, and every combination of Ctrl/Shift/Alt+Enter I can think of and nothing will create a newline. Is there something I'm missing?

If you have this problem, i guess a good way to geta round it is to tunr off Hyphenate option in the paragraph panel, and instead of just clicking anywhere on screen to start typing, click and drag out a text box roughly the right size. When then typing gets to the end it will automatically goto a new line like in any word processing application. This will work for most things, but other than that if you want something a bit more specific, you'd have to move each word around indervidually.

Cut/Paste from Word to Illustrator CS3 for Mac suddenly not working

This issue regards Illustrator CS3 for Mac on a Mac Pro with 6 GB.
Exactly one week ago I created a number of Illustrator files by cutting charts from a Word 2008 document and pasting them into an Illustrator document.
In the past I have dragged the images (or clip art) or simply used Control-C or even Control-X, but by whatever method I opted for, getting the image from Word to Illustrator CS3 has not been a problem.
Yesterday I got a new chart and a request to replace an old image - one that I had created last week on Tuesday by the Drag/Drop or Cut/Paste method.   For reasons I can't begin to imagine the process simply won't work now.
I also find that if I simply select text in a Word Document, hit Ctrl-C and then try a Ctrl-V in Illustrator I don't get to see my text pasted in - ONLY if I already have a text block open and the cursor in place will I get to see the text copied over into Illustrator. This is very strange and not at all how things have worked in the past - typically I would see the new Text Object just appear, and then I could move it to wherever I wanted.
I have opened up a number of old files that I know were created with copied text and also opened the associated Word files (earlier versions of Word) and again find that I can't copy text over, or even move images over - even though I clearly could do this before. I have also tried entirely new files - also with no success.
I was at an Apple one-to-one session this morning and they were more than mystified by this. I can Cut and Paste into Adobe Photoshop Elements, but I can't even cut and paste from Adobe Photoshop Elements into Illustrator CS3.   I can drag the Photoshop file (from the Finder window) into the Illustrator document and poof - get my image that way, but it's as an image only. If the base image in question is a vector image or something else having a plurality of elements, I can't then select the elements in Illustrator to change their color, delete them, or otherwise play with them.
I have brought up a word document on another Mac system that also has Illustrator CS3 and find that it too can't drag/drop cut/paste between the two applications.   At Apple, we did confirm that such ability is operational in the new Illustrator CS4, but none of their store systems still have CS3 to provide yet a third system to test.
I have deleted my Illustrator CS3 preferences, tried flushing the p-ram, and of course run fix and repair permissions - no dice.
My Mac systems update daily and there is nothing in the main update log that shows anything for Adobe or Office (nor do I think there should be). Adobe Update reports that everything is up to date, and I don't see a history file to know what might have changed in the last week.   Office also reports fully up to date and happy.
As I can cut and paste the images into an email for Mail and into Photoshop, I am fairly certain that it is NOT a Microsoft Office 2008 issue. The fact that another Mac with Illustrator CS3 also can't cut and paste suggests that is is really not something personal to my main system.
It is almost as if this is some clandestine "update" intended to encourage me to buy Illustrator CS4. Given that I bought Illustrator CS3 less than a year ago, I really am not eager to buy the new version.   The greeting on the Adobe Support page that CS3 is no longer the current version and therefore supported was most annoying.
I am really hoping that someone out there has an idea of what to try changing, removing and/or adjusting with respect to Adobe Illustrator CS3.

I tried the Select by Path option - can't believe I missed it - and found it made no difference.
I actually uninstalled and reinstalled the whole app. When I tried to simply re-install (can't remember it's exact phrase) it got part way through and then demanded another disk - but I only have one DVD with the application - the extra DVD is for tutorials and it didn't accept that one either. So I restarted that process and chose to completely uninstall. Then reinstalled - hey with only my one disk - gee, just like the first time.   And then it seemed to work.
I was not aware of the save as PDF option - but yes I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 for Mac so that option is there - and it seems to work too.
There were of course a slue of updates, and I let them all proceed - but even with them all in place the system is fine and I can once again drag and drop / cut and paste things back and forth.   I just tried a text block and "The Quick Brown Fox" pasted in with a clipping mask about 10 times the size of the document, but other than that it was ok.
So I have things working again on my primary system.   Will try and figure out what's wrong with the other one - but a reinstall might be the easiest game there too.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

I have been looking at my error logs to try to see what my problem is and it only says the word error once at the bottom and I can't really tell what the error is for. It says successful on one line and then error on the next line. Is tehre anyone here that knows these logs well and can tell me what my problem is by reading my error logs?

Photoshop CS3 Extended "Not Responding" after selecting horizontal type tool.

Hello,
When I start my PhotoShop CS3 Extended v10.0 and load up a jpg and
then zoom in and go select the horizontal type tool and click on my
jpg, PS just freezes and then I click the main screen and then it
tells me infinetly that it has "Stop Responding"
I am running Win XP Pro SP2 (2600) 2GB DDR, ample HD space, Intel Core
Duo processor 1.66GHz.
Can some one tell me whats going on?

I have deleted the pref file vie the Crtl + Alt + Shft Meathod.
It still won't load up.
How did I get to the Crtl + Alt + Shft Meathod?
Good question..... I right clicked the .exe icon and selected
Run as , Current User and --> Unchecked <-- "Protect computer and data
from unauthorized program activity"
And SP started up with no problems.
BTW I wasn't being sarcastic with my last post as I see you used
all Caps in your reply which on the internet is considerd yelling.
If I had something sarcastic to say i would put in quotes "said with
a sarcastic tone", but i did not. I was mearly implying what the words
ment. I say what I mean and I mean what I say, period. Thanks for your help BTW and for now that problem still remains when clicking
the .exe file. Nothing has changed other then I can start PS when
following the directions I have stated here in this reply.
What are your opinions on this?
I would love to hear your thoughts.

About Using Magnetic Lasso Tool In Photoshop CS3 Extended

Hi All
I seem to be having a problem using the Magnetic Lasso Tool In Photoshop CS3 Extended as when I get half way around an egales beak zoomed in at 66.67% and start to single click around the tight corners the photo is covered over with a white background and the palettes to the right of the Photo e.g. layers, channels, paths becomes white to and all you can see is the paths that the Magnetic Lasso Tool has made around the beak until you click any key on the keyboard but the annoying thing about doing that is that the path automatically becomes selected there for I am unable to draw the paths around the rest of the beak does anyone know of a patch of some kind that will correct this error?
Many Thanks For Reading This And May Be Replying To it.
All The Best. Regards,
Oliver
P.S I have downloaded and installed all of the updates for all Adobe and Adobe CS3 Software.

Oliver,
We have the same exact issue here with the Polygonal Lasso tool. Get anywhere from 20-80% around an object and it hiccups once and then locks up for a moment causing you to loose whatever you've been selecting.
Symptoms include toolbars and palettes turning white and screen freezing for a moment.
Is there an official word on this from Adobe? Or better yet, a solution?
Thanks,
George

Saving Photoshop CS4 file for Photoshop CS3

Hello
How should I save a Photoshop CS4 file so that a client running Photoshop CS3 can open it? In other words is Photoshop CS4 backwards compatible with Photoshop CS3?
Marlene

Just save it. but keep in mind that any CS4 features that you may have used will not be available in CS3.
Always save with maximize compatibility on.

Photoshop CS3 editing does not work in LR 2.0

Just upgraded to LR 2.0 and did the data base conversion everything works just fine. Btw, I did keep the LR 1.4 installed because I wanted to make sure I have a fallback in case I have a problem with LR 2.0.
I do however have a problem. I cannot edit images in Photoshop CS3. If I select any of the Edit in Photoshop CS3 menu options, CS3 fires up but no image is displayed in Photoshop. I did upgrade CS3 with the latest upgrades available from Adobe. I have no problems editing in CS3 under LR 1.4.
Any suggestion what may cause this?

Mea culpa - I was eyeballing the forum but the word "export" did not ring a bell for the problem I am facing. Thanks for pointing me to the thread covering the problem.

Unicode in Photoshop CS3 - is it possible ?

Hi. How can i use unicode characters within a Photoshop CS3 text layer? An example: In Word, i can type
261A
followed by
[Alt-key] C
then i see an unicode character in Word (the left-pointing hand).
This does not work in Photoshop. I also cannot copy-paste the unicode character from Word to Photoshop.
What i can do of course:
- do a screenshot of the character
- print the character to PDF and import it hi-res to Photoshop
But is it not possible to type in unicode directly. On the net, i didnt find a compact solution.
Is there a way to insert unicode smoothly to a PS text layer?
Btw, Id like unicode not so much for foreign languages, more for symbols (I know there are symbol font sets like Dingbats that don't require unicode). To look up unicode, i use decodeunicode.org and unicode.org. What else do you recommend to find interesting unicode symbols, web sites or freeware (for Windows)?
Thanks!

In Photoshop...Use Zapf Dingbats, or whichever font you need that contains the extended character you want to display. It's just the quickest and easiest way to get them into a Photoshop layout.
Using the Glyph Palette (panel) will make your choices handy.
Why do it this way? Photoshop doesn't have a built-in parser to convert code so that it will display as characters.
Online, use unicode or character entities coding. You already know how to do that.

Drop the 100 percent for photoshop use to 60 percent. At 100 percent none of your other software that runs in the background can breathe. In other words your starving your computer of RAM.
Also change your virtual memory to a custom size so it will not expand and contract and fight for the same scratch space.
Ideal is to have 2 internal hard drives. C drive will have virtual memory on it and the other internal hard drive will be for scratch. If you have 2 hard drives you get rid of the problem of the same read write head trying to write to two different areas at the same time and slowing down photoshop.
