Trouble with Photoshop CS.5.1 activation

A few weeks ago I installed my old copy of Photoshop CS5.1 onto my new computer, entered in my code and it was working just fine. Then on Saturday it stopped working, saying it needed to be "activated". Every time I tried to get it to activate itself, it said that I was not connected to the internet, even though I could surf the Internet just fine. I tried taking down the firewalls, restarting the computer and turning network connections on and off, all to no avail. The server is to the best of my knowledge working just fine as is the update service, but Photoshop won't turn on. Can someone help me?

Thanks for your response.   I may not have emphasized in my initial outline that all my other programs print fine on the Epson 7890; only printing from Photoshop is problematic.  Do you still think it is an Epson problem?

  • Trouble with photoshop(cs4) manages colours

    Hello there. I have callibrated my printer, and have callibrated my monitor monthly over the three months since I purchased my Color Munki. I have set up a printer profile that I want to use.  I have CS4 and using a "two up view" for soft- proofing, the copy to be printed (on screen) was at first rather  dull with a green cast and with blacks greyed off compared to the master copy and very difficult to match the master even closely. The prints were passable after a lot of fiddling but not as good as I had hoped even compared to prints I produced  before I used my own printer- paper profile .. However recently  the prints have got even worse. They are really, really dark when printed even though they dont look so on screen.They also still have the colour cast etc. I have been selecting "no color management' in the printer dialogue along with the printer- paper profile. I have had to resort to using "Printer manages colour" and a generic printer paper profile  again as I used to do.  I am  getting far better prints with  good colour matches this way so it would seem that there is nothing wrong with the printer.  I have concluded that it must be a problem with the colour management in my CS4 Photoshop. I have an Epson Stylus photo 1410 printer, a Dell flat screen U2410 monitor and a nikon D90 camera. I feel so disappointed after forking out for the Color Munki etc hoping to get really top class prints. .I would really appreciate some advice.

    You have to make sure you have configured everything to work together - i.e., to make the printer driver expect that Photoshop is going to do the color transform.
    However, there were some posts last year implying people with Epson printers were seeing "double profiling" - meaning somehow two color transforms were being invoked, and they couldn't turn the behavior off.  I think at least some people just broke down and bought new printers, as Epson apparently would not fix the drivers to work properly with Photoshop CS5.
    I don't know whether yours might fall under the same issue, but you could double check with Epson.com and see if there have been any newer drivers released for your model.

  • Still having trouble with Photoshop CC

    Hi,
    I've continuing to have problem painting in Photoshop, and was wondering if anyone else was encountering the same problem. The issue is not so much a brush lag
    as it is a spilt second freeze/stall just before a brush stroke. It doesn't happen continuously, just every few minutes and primarily on thin lines (5-10 pixels) on higher Opacity.
    It's very distracting. I'm tried all manner of different things after having gone through forum posts (Photoshop preferences, Wacom driver updates, raising and lowering performance).
    Unfortunately nothing seems to remove this momentary freeze. At this stage I can't tell whether it's an issue with Photoshop, the Wacom (an Intros 4), or my iMac. Everything put the Wacom
    was purchased within the last two years.
    Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    thank you,
    Dave

    My Intros 4 is close to five years old, and I'm wondering if it's age is the problem. Overall, Photoshop/Wacom work but it just seems to freeze/delay when I either use a fine pixel size, or go to another section of the screen to paint. I've had an issue like this in any Photoshop version I've run. It began with Photoshop CC and I've not found a solution yet. I feel like i've tried everything but purchase a new Wacom.

  • Trouble with Photoshop CS3 FullScreen Mode and Win7x64

    everything was OK while i was using WinXP and later Vista... But now i have to use Win7 and i have a problem.
    then i switch to "full screen mode" (doesn't matter how: by pressing f key or by menu command) i have windows 7 task bar still visible and window border on right side of screen (it's photoshop window border --  if drag it, photoshop window will resize)
    Does anybody got same trouble? Is it problem with win7 or CS3? Any ideas how to fix this?

    Thanks. It works somehow... :))
    First, i switch to "simple style" --  and OOPS -- full screen mode in photoshop works asshould
    Second, i switch to "classic style" -- full screen still working...
    ...and Third --  i switch back to "Aero" -- full screen still working!
    So, the only question remains - wtf it was?....
    Thanks...

  • Anyone having trouble with Photoshop CS6 with Intuos3?

    I've been using CS6 since just after the Beta was released and I like many of the new features. I would probably love the software if not for one huge problem I'm having... no pressure sensitivity with my Intuos3.
    My Intuos3 works fine with CS2 and CS3 but not with CS6. I even unistalled all versions of Photoshop except for CS6 in case there was some sort of conflict going on but still no pressure sensitivity. Reinstalled CS3 and it works fine in that application, and still not in CS6.
    Does anyone else have this issue? I believe it must be a CS6 issue and not an Intuos3 issue for the fact that my tablet works just fine with previous versions of Photoshop.

    No, Wacom tablets are working fine for most people.
    Those who've had trouble found that updating the driver or reinstalling the driver solved the problem.
    If you continue to have trouble, you probably want to contact Wacom and have them help you troubleshoot the driver.

  • I'am having trouble with Photoshop Elements 12

    In Photo Elements 12 I can open the organizer but  not the Editor. I am afraid that if I uninstall and install again I will loose what I have edited on certain photos. Please help, I need to edit a few pictures and I can't do so.  Once I open it,
    it says Photoshop Elements 12 Editor has stopped working, then Windows starts looking for a solution for the problem, at the end it says, " A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." I hit the close program button and it just closes all out. HELP PLEASE!

  • Trouble with Photoshop Elements 6.0

    I bought several years ago the Photoshop Elements 6.0 I´m having some problems with it. I cant see the images on the screen, I only see sand clocks and it is "generating thumbnails" all the time. Im looking for an update for this Photoshop. How do I fix the problem? Thanks.

    1) In the Organizer; under File->Catalog, select your catalog and click Optimize. OR
    2) In the Organizer; under File->Catalog, select your catalog and click Repair. OR
    3) Try rebuilding the thumbnails as per these steps:

  • Trouble with Office 2013 and KMS activation.

    I have a KMS server running on Server 2008 R2 that was serving out activations for Windows 7 and Office 2010.  I ran the Office 2013 activation
    pack on the KMS server and now it also shows our KMS key for Office 15. I realize that I need a minimum of 5 in the count field in order for activations to happen.
    We use VMware VDI and I spun up a pool of 10 with Office 2013 installed on the master. Before creating the desktop clones, I rearmed the master and then shut it down, snapped it and created the desktop clones. I have logged onto most of the clones
    with a number of different user IDs and when I look at the KMS server it now shows that the count is 9 - so I would assume that my copies are being activated.  However, when I look at Office on the VDI clones or on my own personal computer that has 2013
    installed I see that the product still needs to be activated.  
    Yes we have the VL service record in DNS pointing to the right server - it's been there for ages taking care of Windows and Office 2010.  I did not have this issue with either of the other products and KMS.  I am at a loss as to what
    to do next.
    Thanx...

    check the client-side event logs for the SPP events (request/response), is the client (your pc for example), hitting the expected KMShost, and what response resulted?
    Also check the KMShost event logs, is the request from your pc arriving there, and what came in, and went back as a response?
    If you're not familiar with how to "decode" the events, check here:

  • Trouble with Photoshop Updates.

    For about 3 weeks Photoshop will not update when message comes that new updates are available.  I have the Creative Cloud subscription.  All the other applications update with no problem.  Any thoughts?  A solution?

    Finally -  got the Administrator enabled successfully.  Thanks for the
    additional instructions.  Restarted the computer after trying to update
    Photoshop and getting another failed update message thinking it needed that
    to make the Administrator enabling effective.  After the restart, attempted
    to update again and the got the same error I've been getting all along
    that there was an problem updating Photoshop CS6 and to see the box below
    for specifics.  The box info stated "errors occurred during installation
    (U44M1P7) and gave a link for more details.  When I opened the link, it's a
    listing of all the applications with various dates that something
    occurred.  There is an entry for Photoshop with today's date.
    What is the problem here?  I pay a monthly subscription for this service
    that seems to work for every application other than the one where  I'm
    currently taking a class.  This is crazy!  This application update has
    failed since June.  I need a refund for not getting the services I've paid
    for under my contract.

  • Trouble with Photoshop Web Galleries

    Hello,
    I am trying to create a web gallery. I have created several in the past, but I have a problem with the way the captions display.
    Here is a gallery from an event at my campus last week:
    http://www.alasu.edu/video/forensics/gallery.swf
    In order to get the captions to display, you have to click the "?" icon on the bottom right. It's the same way with all the galleries I have created, but I would like for the captions to show by default without having to click something.
    PLEASE HELP!

  • Trouble with photoshop cs6 (global override) shortcuts

    hi there,
    at work my boss recently upgraded my cs5.5 (mac, mountain lion) to cs6, and deleted the cs5.5 version of the program before testing cs6, afterward we found that cs6 failed to migrate presets, and indesign failed to open at all, after a lengthy call to support and many attempted reinstalls we were told that the only workaround for the problem was to create a NEW USER account on the mac, then go into that new user account (effectively starting afresh) and reinstalling there, which worked.
    now, my problem is that in cs5.5, i had many shortcuts which overrode the f1 - f12 system keys, assigned to actions in photoshop. (ie shift f3 would flatten and convert to cmyk)
    when i loaded the action files in to the new installed psd cs6 (on the new user account side of my computer) suddenly the shortcuts would no longer work, and would default back to say, hitting some combination with the f key and it showing the desktop or some other system function instead of the photoshop action assigned to it.
    i have tried going to system preferences - keyboard and turning off ALL keyboard shortcuts to just about every other program, and i can't see anything about it in photoshop preferences either that would allow psd to override global shortcut keys, but i remember I set this up years ago when i got a new machine, and im sure it was something simple in either system prefs or photoshop prefs that i simply checked on or off that allowed psd to override....but i have no idea where!
    ive logged back onto the 'old' user account and tried to check out the difference between shortcuts, but i just can't see anything different between the two setups but something is obviously still not letting psd do its thing...
    please help if you have had a similar experience freeing up the 'f' keys for actions!!
