Trouble with clipping layers in Adobe photoshop CS5

Posting in forums is new to me, but I am desperate for help, so I apologize if I am not doing things correctly.
I just purchase cs5 recently because I changed from a pc to a mac. I had cs4 on my pc and felt pretty comfortable with it. I am a photographer so by far the majority of the work I do on photoshop is with photos.
The problem I am having is when I am working on a photo some of the layers are automatically clipping to the layer below it. I don't see a pattern to why it does it sometimes and not others. This happens when I run actions, change levels, curves, hue and saturation, etc. It is adding some time to my post production because I have to release the clipping mask every time it shows up.
This didn't happen with cs4 on my pc. I don't know if this is a new thing with cs5 but it is kind of driving me crazy. Is there a preference I need to change?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks so much!

Try unchecking clip to layer as shown below.

Need advice - "Adobe photoshop CS5 has stopped working" upon startup

Hi All,
Hopefully someone can assist me with this as this seems to be a fairly common problem.
Basically, upon starting up PS it comes up with the error message:
"Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working..."
I'm just working off a surface pro 2 with 256gb ram, i5 processor (I think)
I’ve installed no new drivers of late and not undertaken any system changes that I can think of that would affect the program.
Funnily enough it’s the same problem across all the adobe suite e.g. illustrator and indesign both won’t start up (illustrator has the same message whereas indesign’s error message mentions that it requires a certain amount of free disk space).
Hopefully that is enough info. Please ask if there is anything else that you would need to know in order to ascertain the problem.
For reference here is the excerpt from the windows error log:
Faulting application name: Photoshop.exe, version: 12.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4bbc5b10

Fingers crossed someone can help as I’m at the end of my wits here (my laptop died recently leaving me my tablet to finish some artwork for a deadline and now PS etc won’t work leaving me with nothing!).
Cheers

My scenario and history:
Windows Vista Ultimate and now Windows 7 Ultimate
NVidia Quadro Fx 4500 driving 4 monitors total SLi on or off - makes no difference. Drivers irrelevant.
2 x Xeon 5160 (so total 4 cores)
24Gb RAM
PS CS 4 or 5
4 monitors - - yep it is the 4 monitor thing.
Fails everytime as you describe.
Observation - If you Remote Desktop Connection onto the computer - and so in effect are using only ONE monitor - PS works fine.
A WORKAROUND for 4 or 5 - I don't consider this a fix because you lose some functionality but it gets you 99% there and is the same workaround for CS4 or 5
Go to<drive>:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64bit)\Plug-ins\Extensions\ (or CS4 - depending on version)
Locate File:
ScriptingSupport.8li
Disable this extension by renaming the file with a tilde in front of the file name. Thus:
~ScriptingSupport.8li
Start Photoshop - it works and is mainly functional.
The only real downside I have discovered is that disabling this scripting extension means you cannot use some of the built in scripts under FILE - SCRIPTS - the biggest PIA for me being the Contact Sheet builder no longer works. But as I now use Lightroom to create contact sheets - this is not a big loss. Other scripting functionality - I am sure is affected - but not to a point I find PS unusable.
ADOBE - if you read this - it has been that extesion now for the last two editions of PS.

Trouble with clipping paths in Photoshop CS5

Hello everyone, I am having trouble with clipping paths in Photoshop CS5. When I start a new path both path and anchor points are not visible. working on a Layer not background 0 and a Path Layer was created.I've also noticed that Photoshop started running pretty slow. All other programs are fine. Any Ideas or suggestions? Thank You

What do you mean by "a Path Layer was created"? Path are in the path palette, there is a path in shape layers and they is a path in a vector layer mask. I have never seen a reference to a path layer before this. When a path in the path palette is selected activate it wall also be shown in the image window. Does not matter if there is a targeted layer or not. Control points may or may not be displayed. Using Path tool you can select and select segments and show some or all control points, Path are editable.
View the following image in a new tab and scale to actual pixels for a clear image this site scales image poorly.

I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended and am having trouble with it.

I just reinstalled Photoshop CS5 Extended from my original disk because I was having trouble with it. I did do an uninstall before installing. Every time I quit Photoshop I get this message: "Could not save Preferences because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to unlock the file or change permissions on the file or enclosing folders." Can you tell me what to do to fix this? I went to get info and made changes to read and write, but it made no difference. Thanks for your help.

Some folders are hidden in the Finder. Use the "Go to Folder" command for that.
Go menu > Go to Folder, enter:

E520 w/ 6630M 2GB card won't work correctly with "Advanced" OpenGL setting in Adobe Photoshop CS5.5

I'm having a problem using the "Advanced" OpenGL setting in Adobe Photoshop CS5.5. While I can select "Advanced" as an option, none of the advanced features are available to use (like flick panning and animated zoom).
I've updated my system with the latest video drivers (8.840.7.3000/6.14.0.3074) and BIOS (1.22/1.10/1.02), however, that's not working.
The video drivers packaged on the Lenovo site aren't the latest listed on the AMD site for the 6630M and I can't update my system with drivers from the AMD site.
This is a real issue for me since I bought the laptop as a design production machine and can't utilise the graphics card to its full potential. I wrote to AMD to ask them, which resulted in them pushing it back as Lenovo issue.

With other images same problem, no matter how large selection or small. There is always transparent silhouette of selection.
On other devices with the same images, tool work perfectly.
Sorry for my english.

as you can see, absolute new hardware...
now photoshop tells her that her graphic card wouldnt fit the requirements, and allways switches to "software-sides" rendering.
this can't be true, this mashine is running hardchore grafic apps, and has the newest ATI Raedon Gra-Card (2 of them) which even now has a native support for open GL.
the computer has all latest drivers (no newer versions available)
so what to do?
i can't even tell photoshop manually in the settings to enable open GL...
i defenitally reached the end of my knowledge here.. i tried everything, also changing (as suggested by photoshop) the open GL settings of the graphic card card. no changes ...
need help with this one..
thank you already for your time and hopefully help

Can you Install Adobe Photoshop CS5 on Win 8 with no disc.

I recently acquired a HP ENVY Touchsmart 15 Notebook PC, which comes with Windows 8. I am currently attempting to transfer my programs from my old computer (which was Windows 7) to my new computer, which includes re-installing Adobe Photoshop CS5.
However, as this computer that I currently have doesn't have a CD drive (I was not aware of this as it was a gift), I am unable to put in the CS5 installation CD. I still have all of my licensing information, though. So, that leaves me with the following questions: Is it possible to install CS5 without a disc? And if so, does Windows 8 even support CS5?

You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.
CS5: http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
To see if there are any special provisions you should follow for installing on a Windows 8 machine you should search this forum using terms like "Windows 8 CS5" to see if anyone has encountered issues that needed attention

Adobe Photoshop CS5 is not working with Lion.

Adobe Photoshop CS5 is not working with Lion. It is totally non responsive to a point where i cannot work. all other CS5 programs seem to be running well so far. any advice? if no, then how do i revert back to Snow leopard?

I had real problems with all Adobe apps - it said I needed to install a version of Jave Runtime, but kept saying that I wasn't connected to the internet to complete the action. This was not the case - I was connected to the internet.
I followed this link : http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1421 to install a version of Java and all Adobe apps fire up now. Haven't done much testing within the apps, but at least I'm further ahead than I was.
So thanks to the message boards for helping me out.

Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working with (Wacom CINTIQ21UX)

Has this been addressed?
I have been following this thread pretty closely
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/633937?tstart=0
It clears up the issue with multiple screens but doesnt address the issue with Adobe Photoshop CS5 not being able to load with the latest Wacom Cintiq 6.1.5-3a driver. I have tried the 6.1.2-5 driver able to load photoshop CS5 and calibrate my pen. but Photoshop wont recognize pressure sensitivty, rotation, tilt, any of the brush settings from the drop down it flags a caution yield sign, which is better than not having any pen.
Just wanted to know if someone found a way around it. or if Adobe or Wacom is actually working on a patch to address the error. At this point I am thinking about reverting back to Adobe Photoshop CS3.

You'll need to reinstall Photoshop CS5 after installing the MacOS 10.10 update -- for some reason the OS updater stomps on some of the Photoshop files.

3D Text with Repoussé in Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended | CSInsider | Design | Adobe TV

In this episode of CSInsider, Rufus Deuchler, Worldwide Design Evangelist at Adobe, introduces you to how easily you can extrude text in Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended to create fully fledged 3D objects. These 3D objects can then be rendered using Photoshop's own Raytracing engine, including cast shadows. This feature lets you add a 3D flair to your 2D images.
http://adobe.ly/yzsIs4

When I go into either CS 5.5 extended, the 3d features are ALL greyed out??? What is wrong?
