Purchased CS6 this morning, but will not open

"Could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted)"
I have this error message and can not open CS6.. just purchased.  I had a trail version of it, but when I deleted some plug-ins (as per the manufacturers instructions, as they are not compatible with CS6)... now I have this message.
I went to a forum where they said I had to:
Go to your home folder.
Go to the Library folder.
Go to the Preferences folder.
Delete the “Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings” (or similar name) folder.(Folder name may differ depending on what version you have)
However I don't have any adobe files in my Preferences folder.
HELP!!!!!

Ask such specific questions on the PS product forum.

    Yes, water and electronics do not mix. Water damage can get worse with time.
    You should've left it to fully dry out in a bag of rice for a few days, and hope that the water hasn't corroded any of the electronics inside.

  • Just downloaded Creative Cloud yesterday but this morning it will not open how do I get it to open?

    I need help in opening Creative Cloud, it just doesn't respond when I try it.

    Try deleting the entries from the Movies part of your library (i.e. where you are trying to play them) and see if you get the cloud symbol next to them for re-downloading in the Purchased link
    As your screenshot shows your account id I've asked the hosts to remove it

    i have a canon 70d and just purchased elements 12. It will not open a raw file for me. I have been advised to download the latest version of camera raw, i have done this and it still says my camera is not supported. I really need to open my raw files. Can anybody help me.

    You'll need to update to at least ACR 8.2 for the 70D to be recognized.  The normal way to update PSE12 to the latest CR is to use Help / Updates in the Editor which should update to ACR 8.5.
    According to Adobe's website PSE12 shipped with ACR 8.1 and you say it says yours is reported as ACR 8.0.
    Are you using PSE 11 and not 12?  PSE 11's maximum ACR version is 8.0.

  • Acer Aspire E5-511. touchpad/mouse move cursor but will not open any programmes other than McAfee,

    Just purchased this laptop, initial thought it was a great improvement on my 3 year old Aspire!!!   Latest problem after doing a complete scan with McAfee is the touchpad or remote will move the cursor but will not open any programmes other than McAfee.   The Windows symbol (bottom left hand corner) does not light up when the cursor is over it and I am unable to use windows key + C to get charms bar.  For background I have been unable to install windows updates since I have had this computer, two days, hence doing a scan to look for reasons.

    Thanks for your suggestion Acer-Justin.   Sorted it by a switching off/reset using keyboard.   Sorted update problem using Microsoft who found a problem with update system then installed Windows 10 - all appears ok for now.

  • ITunes installs properly, but will not open

    I have just upgraded from iTunes 6.0.1 to 6.0.2
    Everything installed correctly, and I am receiving no error messages; the program simply will not open. I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times, and I have exactly the same problem each time.
    My music files (including ones that I purchased from Apple's music store) will open with other players, but will not open with the newly installed v6.0.2
    I am running Norton Internet security, but the problem still occurs after I disable the program.
    Any assistance is appreciated.

    Well, that annoying. So, I am a bit confused here. Does iTunes launch at all or sometimes? BTW, You need to Configure Norton to allow iTunes to open. Otherwise, it will continue to block it silently.
    Do you see, under your Processes tab in your Windows Task Manager, both Quicktime and iTunes?

    Ok, that's plenty of space.
    Check the S.M.A.R.T. status on your HD: Boot from install disc (insert disc > restart > immediately hold down the c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”) > at first screen select the language and click Continue > click on the Utilities Menu in the menu bar > select Disk Utility > select your HD in the panel on the left side (the name of the HD’s manufacturer and the model number, usually the top item in the list) > look at the bottom of the main window next to S.M.A.R.T. status and see if it says “Verified” (good) or something more ominous like “Failing.”
    If S.M.A.R.T. status is "Verified," run Repair Disk > click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility (such as DriveGenius, TechToolPro, DiskWarrior) or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD which will need to be replaced (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quit the installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.

  • I placed my aperture library on a 1 TB external drive (the file is 300 GB) and Aperture churns and churns but will not open the file. I don't know if the file is too large or if it is the external drive or what? any ideas? Smaller files will open.

    If this is an external USB drive, you must understand that USB is really, really slow. There may be nothing wrong except for that.
    In my opinion, USB external drives are only acceptable for backups, and to get "near Hard Drive" performance, you need FireWire.

    Hi, Ken -
    Since you have a new install of OSX, you may be missing Stuffit Expander, needed to expand downloads encrypted/archived in a Stuffit format. That problem confronted me with a new machine running OSX 10.6; a download and install of Stuffit Expander fixed it.
    You can download Stuffit Expander from this webpage -
    http://www.stuffit.com/mac-expander-download.html
    Note - be sure to get the version that matches your OSX version.

    Does this happen immediately after you log in? If so, one of your login items is probably causing it.

    I imagine this is a bit late for you, but to anyone else running into this problem, try the trick mentioned by VFSchreiber in this thread:
    Re: Why won't my iTunes movie rental play or download?
    This worked for me when I ran into the same issue (can scroll through rented movie but can't play it).  Just switch iTunes to the MiniPlayer (in the Window menu) and then back to the normal player.  Apparently, you may need to do this a few times. It sounds odd (and I didn't really expect it to work), but it fixed the problem for me.

  • I have a Macbook Pro. I updated to 10.9.4 an downloaded the trial for Creative Cloud. It downloaded and installed but will not open. I shut down and tried reinstalling. Same problem.

    Thanks.

    I stumbled upon the solution. In addition to downloading Creative Cloud, I needed to go back to the website and  download trials for the programs I want to use--Photoshop and Lightroom. Once I did that, I was in business. Would save trouble if that was made clear on the download site.
    Thanks

    You're very welcome!
    I meant holding the "option" (or "alt") key on your keyboard as you click the Outlook icon on the Dock, and continuing to hold it until you see the Microsoft Database Utility come up. Alternatively, you can open the utility by navigating to Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/Office and then double-clicking the Microsoft Database Utility app.
    When you rebuild your database using that program, a backup copy of your original database (containing your account info, contacts, mail, calendars, etc) will be created. As a security precaution, you should also ensure you have a backup of your database (which you can find by going to Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 Identities/ and copying the contents of that folder onto an external drive).
