PS CS6 (MAC) Can't open scratch file - locked

This is new behavior as I've used PS before on this computer and can't remember anything as having changed (ie. OS or new apps/settings). I get the "could not open scratch file because it is locked or you don't have permission" message and then PS quits.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I've tried deleting the settings file.
I'm using a MacBook Pro running os 10.7.5.

Have you tried to reset preferences? Start PS and immediately hold down shift cmd option keys. Should get a reset window.

Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. How do I get and install the right version of Camera Raw?

Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. I was told to update Camera Raw to at least 7.2. I tried to download this but got a DNG Converter instead. Where is Camera Raw? (it does not show up in a search of my hard drive. There is a folder of camera profiles but no extension or plug-in with this name). How do I find out what version I have already? How do I get the correct version? . . . OR . . . is it the case that Bridge will never open Sony raw files directly and I will have to do a separate conversion process every time I want to use a raw file??. Can someone explain this?
Thanks.

Photoshop CS6 problem - can't open new files

I have been using Photoshop CS6 (Windows 7) for a while now, and it has been working fine. However for two weeks or so I am having constant issues opening existing, or new documents.
I can either drag a picture, or File>New several times and nothing ever happens.
The only time it works, for maybe 15 minutes, is after I restart the computer.
This issue needs to be fixed! I have been looking through threads with the same problem and no one from Adobe has given a solution! And my version is original, through Creative Cloud.
What is there to do? Can I contact someone from Adobe personally to fix this? I am paying for Creative Cloud monthly, Shouldn't there be some sort support for this?
Also I have had the IT manager look into my computer and there is nothing wrong with it. Everything update, functioning smoothly. This is stricly an Adobe issue.

Well, the bad news for you is that this is very likely something outside Adobe which we can't fix for you. From the sound of it you have a "security suite" running amok that is blocking access to temporary files, the clipboard and specific features that allow Windows apps to interact liek that drag&drop stuff. If this is the case, get rid of whatever this tool may be. It's rubbish if it behaves that aggressively and interferes with normal operations. Otherwise check for generic permissions/ user privilege issues that may trigger security stuff plus verify your hardware. Come to think of it this could be a ahrrdrive on the verge of imploding on itself and preventing the system from functioning right because temp files no longer can be written in damaged sectors. Check disk health, defragment, remove unused temporary files and back up your data before it crashes completely and goes *poof*. And finally of course reinstall your Adobe software just to be sure.

I can not open raw files in cs6 extended ,my camera is Nikon D 800E.

I can not open raw files in cs6 extended ,my camera is Nikon D 800E.
Hope some one can help me.
Robert chen

The D800E is definitely supported in Camera Raw 7.1 which is compatible with CS6.
Which version of Camera Raw are you running?
Win: Help > About Plug-In > Camera Raw
Mac: Photoshop > About Plug-In > Camera Raw
If you're already on 7.1, what exactly happens when you try to open Raw files from that camera?

Can't open .jar file, nothing happens when I click, MAC OS 10.6.8

Hello,
I can't open .jar file, nothing happens when I click on the .jar file.
I have MAC OS 10.6.8
The thing it, I have desktop application that I'm building on Netbeans and when I compile and deploy it... it runs from Netbeans folder where I have all the files but copying the .jar on the desktop. It says "The Java JAR file "blablabla.jar" could not be launched check the Console for possible error messages"
Any idea or solution will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Charles

These are Java files. http://www.java.com/en/ is where you can get the latest Java for your operating system. If your Java files need an older version of Java, there are instructions on the web to downgrade Mac Java, but it is difficult, and poses security issues.

"Could not open scratch file because disc is not available" Mac

I recently changed the Photoshop (CS6) Scratch Disk choice from the default Boot Drive to one of the other internal drives in my MacPro (OS 10.6.8).
When I restart Photoshop (CS6) I get the message:
"Could not open scratch file because disc is not available"
and Photoshop will not launch.
I then restart Photoshop with "Command - alt - shift" keys held down
(as per suggestion at <http://forums.adobe.com/message/3937003>)
and reset the preferences which allows Photoshop to come back.
(Resetting preferences returned the Boot Drive to scratch disk status.)
I have another MacPro that - same OS 10.6.8 and Adobe CS6 - and I don't have this scratch disk allocation problem.
What is going on with the one MacPro that prevents me from selecting a Photoshop scratch disk other than the boot drive?

Ignore Ownership worked. Thank you!
I saw this suggestion on another Discussion thread but wondered if that could be the problem since the non-boot scratch disks used on other computers here do not have this property chosen.
"Permissions", "Ignore Ownership", and "apply to enclosed items" remain a mystery to me.
As for Terminal, I've had my hand held a couple of times while I went there and it was not a comforting experience.
Our work setup depends on complete access by everybody to everything (Read&Write Privileges apply to everyone here). We occasionally swap drives between computers which may cause problems, but why should it and how am I to know. The computer that prompted this discussion had its main hard drive replaced a couple of months ago which may have contributed to the problem.
Is there a down-side to ignoring ownership on everything and having "read-write" privileges apply to everyone (aside from lax security)?

Each camera needs a specific camera raw version (ACR). And each ACR is tied to a specific version of PS. See this list http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

Can you open freehand files in CS6?

can you open freehand files in CS6? I have been using both illustrator & freehand for 15 years & have thousands of work files being freehand.
It seems very disappointing to have to keep an old version of illustrator just to open these files. I also find it interesting that many of the key tools that freehand had over illustrator are not translated into the newer versions of illustrator. Something simple like you still can't have a unique picture bullet • before text in illustrator. In freehand you could cut & paste any graphic into the text you were designing.

No. The conversion plugin didn't make it into CS6 so the last import function was CS5.5
It seems very disappointing to have to keep an old version of illustrator just to open these files.
At this point, it is the only way to make your files convert into Illustrator although I've had some luck with exporting to EPS or (if your FH graphics are simple enough) save as AI format. Keep your eyes on this project however : http://www.stagestack.com/

As a fellow FreeHand user, I couldn't agree more. Other users of both programs have said this endlessly over the years here. A litany of features are still m.i.a. since FHMX was acquired years ago... including inline graphics. It's almost comical.

Photoshop CS6 windows can't open a .hdr file

I can't open .hdr files with Photoshop CS6 Version 13 x64 for windows 7.
I just updated and installed the optional plugins just in case that would help but I still get the same error code: "Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file."
I read online elsewhere that this error code means the files are corrupted with other file types, but I wasn't sure with these as I've never used .hdr before.
Sorry if this is a repeat discussion, I saw most other discussions were errors about trying to make one - I'm just trying to open one.

Here's a properties screen shot if it helps narrow down the possibilities?
I haven't ever used .hdr's before so I had to look up what Radiance is [I know I'm a terrible artist] and the wiki stated it's a file type often used on simulators, and that's what I'm working on is simulator environment textures so I think there's a possibility they are a Radiance file ... maybe. Obviously I didn't generate them, but I'm trying to update them. The only thing that seems really odd to me is how incredibly small the files are, it was my understanding these were supposed to be highly detailed images based on photography.
I guess my main goal is to determine there's nothing wrong with this version of photoshop, and instead there's something wrong with the files. I know they work in the simulator as they're currently in use there, it's only in editing them that there is an issue.
Thanks so much for your help on this!

For the D600 NEF's you have two alternatives: (1) Upgrade to PSE 11. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software) Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.3 Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3 You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click.

Can't open Numbers file after moving it back to Mac from Dropbox

Please help! Can't open Numbers file after moving it back to iMac from Dropbox. Says I need the newer version of Numbers each time I tried to open the file. I am 100% sure that I had the newest version. Spoke to the AppleCare guy and after doing the checks he is also sure that I had the latest version of Numbers and AppleCare can't help. He suggested that maybe i should run it on a file repair program...any suggestion?... please help...

I've read reports of people having trouble when storing Numbers 3 documents on Dropbox. I think it's related to the fact that they're not really "files." They're "packages" that look like files. I had thought that Dropbox had cleared this up with their latest update. You should be on Dropbox version 2.4 or later.
If you have Time Machine you may have some luck going back in time and restoring the document from a previous version.
Storing Numbers documents on iCloud works much better, at least for me, and (unlike Dropbox) iCloud facilitates automatic syncing to other Macs and iOS devices signed into the same Apple ID.
Perhaps you could consider keeping Numbers documents in iCloud instead. iCloud is deeply integrated into the app, and now works well.

Hi arewers,
Do you have Adobe Reader installed, by any chance? If so, are you aware if it was the PPC or Intel version which you installed? In any case, for the time being, have a quick look in 'HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/' using Finder and see if there's an Adobe plugin lying around. If there is, try moving it out of the folder and restarting Safari.
