When opening a file of any type in Photoshop (CS4), the windows will not appear in Ps.

When opening a file of any type in Photoshop (CS4), the windows will not appear. Photoshop will open and I can see the layers on the right but the document window will not come up no matter what I try.  I try closing down everything, double-clicking a layer, opening multiple windows, etc.. Any thoughts?

Can you post a screenshot of your entire Photoshop screen with a file loaded in and the layers panel showing?
It helps if we see the same problem you are seeing

    Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
    Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
    If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
    It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
    If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library
    Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
    In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
    Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
    The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it.

    I have an Iphone 4, I have music files that appear on my phone that I want to delete, when I link it to my computer the songs on the phone will not appear in Itunes so I can delete them, Is there any way to delete these song off the phone without going through Itunes?

    Nope, it either needs to be plugged in or turned on with the power button.
    A replacement iPhone 4 is $149, but at least the whole phone is replaced.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
    there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
    Seriously? It's physically broken!

  • I right click on link, click, open in new window, then nothing happens. Or, windows within a page will not open, for example, on gmail, when I click "details" the window will not open.

    When I right click on a hot link, then click, open in a new window, a window will not open. Alternatively, I can click, open in a new tab, and a new tab will open. Additionally, if I'm at a website with a chat feature, the chat window will not open, or, as another example, if I'm at gmail, and I click "details", the window that opens giving the summary of when your account has been opened and the IP addresses it's been accessed from, will not open.
    I have on the computer, Aurora too. I doubt that it's a source of the problem, but I had to throw that into the mix. For clarification, this problem is happening while using the Firefox browser.

    You can middle-click a link to open the link in a new tab.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Firefox opens, and preview shows when hover on the task bar link, but the window will not maximize, or show up at any size on my screen (Windows 7) Help?!

    I am running Windows 7 and just updated Firefox to the 7.0 version. I can open Firefox, in the sense that I can run the application. I can see that it is open because the link shows up on my task bar, and when I hover over it I can see the thumbnail preview - which, incidentally says "You're almost there!"; but I can not open the window! I have tried clicking once on the task bar link, and once again (just in case I was clicking to minimize instead of maximize). I have tried double clicking the shortcuts on my desktop, then the one in my program files, as well as the one in my start menu, and the static one pinned to my task bar. I have tried accessing Firefox from every path available on my computer and I can open it every time, but *never* not even once have I been able to view it on my screen. I can't understand what would cause this and maybe I'm just an idiot but can anybody help me... please? Oh, and I don't know if it makes any difference, but I did try restoring 6.0 and I re installed 7.0 again, all to the same end... Many thanks to anyone willing to help me fix this!

    -> [[Software Update Failed#w_run-as-administrator|Run as Administrator]]
    -> right-click Firefox icon and choose Properties
    * go to Compatibility tab
    * click Use Resolution 640x480 pixels
    * click OK and start Firefox
    -> Firefox will now start but you should be able to change the size of the window.
    * Close Firefox and now Uncheck the 640x480 resolution
    * Start Firefox again and now all should be fine
    Check and tell if its working.

  • Win7 64 bit, FF 3.6.12, Acrobat Reader 9, can only open pdf file if I run FF as an administrator. Will not open if FF is run as a standard user.

    If I run FF in a standard user account (non-admin) pdf files will not open. If I start FF in the standard user account but right-click FF and "run as administrator" the same pdf file will now open fine.

    ( links in emails )
    this is what fixed my issue with links in my windows live mail
    in Firefox go to tools >options >advanced > general tab > at the bottom click the check now button to make sure Firefox is your default browser . if its not click yes to make it default now your links in emails should open in Firefox properly

  • When opening Firefox I get a Java Scripts error message and Firefox will not always open

    When opening Firefox browser I get an error message from JavaScript Application: "TypeError:components{cid} is undefined. Sometimes the Firefox browser will not open; sometimes it does. Very annoying!!
    Richard

    This can be caused by an add-on that says it is compatible with Firefox 4 but isn't quite compatible. This thread has more information: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/729606 Javascript pop errors stating: TypeError: Components.classes&#0091;cid&#0093; is undefined | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].

  • When I try to email a picture the space to type a comment with the picture does not appear

    When I try to email a picture with a message, the space to type a message does not appear. Why?

    If you get no response after starting 6 threads on an issue, it's worth looking at question you are asking over and over. Perhaps you need to re-think it. Perhaps you need to give more details - how you're emailing, with what apps, a fuller description of the issue and perhaps even a screenshot, anything that might help other people understand what you're asking.

  • Adobe Photoshop elements - the catalog will not open on the new laptop I just bought.

    I installed the Adobe software for Elements 5.0. The catalog won't open. The new laptop uses Windows 7. Could that be the problem? If so, how do I rectify the problem?

    Hi,
    Actually, I did eventually get it to open. However, the photos are no longer tagged. I recovered the photos from my external hard drive, which is where I always stored them.
    So you are saying that I would need to actually to a BACKUP from ELEMENTS itself? If I do that, the tags will still be attached to the photos? I have over 6000 photos. I do not want to have to reorganize and re tag them again.
    Thank you for any suggestions you can provide!

  • I am having trouble opening links from websites I am currently on. The window will pop up but the content is blank. What should I do?

    I do not know if this is a result of something I did, or something that happened when I updated Firefox. Any help would be appreciated as I really need the windows to show the content I want to see. An example of what I am talking about:
    I was on Verizon's website and I wanted to sign up for more information on the iPhone. When I typed in my e-mail address and hit the submit button, another screen pops up and where there would be a web address, it says "Search Bookmarks and History" but will not show me the content.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

  • HT202213 When I have downloaded and paid for music several time the song will not play, saying that my computer is not authorized.  When I follow insturction to authorize the computer says it already  authorized and song or songs will not play...... Help.

    Authorized music purchased will not play says unauthorized to play and when you follow instructions to fix the issue says authorized...

    If only a few songs on an album are doing that, that suggests the tracks are damaged.
    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
