Why can't my edit program open? It shuts down when I press edit...

When I try to open photoshop 12, I click on the icon on my desktop, as I have done numerous times before, & the beginning page comes up where you choose if you want to organize or edit. As soon as I press edit, the screen shuts down. I did notice that when I put my mouse over Edit, it is just an arrow not a "hand"...tried
several times. Have used this program successfully for the past week many times as I am in a photo show. Please get this working again for me...I have a deadline \
to meet !!

If your program is Photoshop Elements 12 (photo editor), you are in the wrong forum. This is the Premiere Elements Forum (video editing).
Please repost your question in the Photoshop Elements Forum here or wait for a moderator to see your post and move it from here to there.
http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements
As an aside starter....have you tried deleting the Photoshop Elements settings file by shortcut or other?
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/preference-file-locations-photoshop-elements. html#main_Photoshop_Elements_preferences_
If you really do have Premiere Elements 12, please let us know, and we will troubleshoot that program's issues.
Thank you.

Illustrator CS5 won't stay open it shuts down when started?

I have the CS5 creative suite and I bought it when it was first available. I have used it for several years with no major problems. In the past two days every time I start up my Illustrator program it goes through all the start up proceedures and as soon as it has come up it shuts the program down. I am on a MAC and I am experienced with the computer.

Hi again,
OK, I added a new user account and Illustrator opened just fine in the new account. Can you tell me why and what I will have to do in the original account to get Illustrator to work again?

How come my program doesn't shut down when all windows are closed?

As of Java 1.5 (maybe earlier) java is supposed to exit when all windows have been closed. I have confirmed that this happens in a simple case of displaying 2 JFrames and closing both. Can anyone tell me why it's not happening in the case of 2 frames and 1 dialog here?

After installing Photoshop, it opens but shuts down when files are opened.

Photoshop installed from CS5. After opening new document or opening an image it closes with a message saying "Adobe CS 5 has stopped working"
It has been uninstalled and re installed several times.

try resetting preferences by holding down shift-ctrl-alt (win) or shift-cmd-alt (mac) while starting ps. you'll see a confirmation dialog if done correctly.
if that fails uninstall, clean and reinstall per, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

Why can't I edit phone numbers in the dialer?

If I find a number on the Internet, it is often (at least in Sweden) typed in with country code and then an optional 0 if you're calling domesically, e.g. +46 (0) 8-402 60 00. This number isn't dialable because of the extra 0 inserted there from misguided benevolence.
My phone is also inside a switchboard and I need to add either a 0 or replace the first 0 with +46 (for a Swedish number) in front of every number to be able to make a call. Unfortunately the only way I can find to edit a phone number in the phone number dialer is to erase them from the last digit. Not very efficient if you want to replace the first digit!
Why can't I edit phone numbers anywhere in the string of numbers as anywhere else in the phone and its apps?
Now I have to copy the number either into a new contact or the notepad, edit and then dial.

Copied from my answer to your other thread for your convenience:
Unlike the iPhone, Android allows developers access to basic system functions. Although this means there are lots of apps that do interesting things like scheduling text messages (the one thing I really miss from when I had an Android), it also means the OS is significantly less secure. Apple's choice was security and stability. Google's was open platform at the expense of security and stability.

Why can't I edit the Word doc I converted from a PDF?

Why can't I edit the Word doc I converted from a PDF?
Help! That is why I bought this software!

Hi linda007,
If you can't edit the file once it's converted to Word, it could be that the PDF was created from a scanned page, and then image text wasn't converted to searchable text. ExportPDF should perform Optical Character Recognition by default, but it can be disabled in Reader. Do you know whether OCR was disabled when you converted the page? If it wasn't, make sure that the correct language was selected for OCR. This option appears at the bottom of the ExportPDF panel in Reader, and in the Document Language (for Text Recognition) pop-up menu that appears after you select your file to convert in the ExportPDF online service.
If everything seems to have been set correctly, and you still can edit the text, please try triple-clicking to select the text in Word. Did that do the trick?
Best,
Sara

Why can't I edit or delete Address Book "On My Mac" or sync with iCloud?

Why can't I edit or delete Address Book cards on my Macs, now that I've migrated to iCloud? I can edit/delete if I go to iCloud, but the changes don't sync with my Macs. What's happening, and what's a solution? Just wait for Apple to fix a bug?

On your mac, if your look at the left panel of the Address Book, you'll find general categories of "iCloud" and possibly "On my mac" - if you have contacts in the latter, then they are only local to your mac, they are not shared with iCloud. If you don't have an "iCloud" category, then your mac(s) is not set up of iCloud. Go to system preferences and look in iCloud. Is the mac signed into iCloud, are contacts turned on for syncing?

Why can't I edit my signature under email settings.

Why can't I edit my signature under email settings. I want to unbold the "Sent from my iPhone" and it will only unbold it when it is in italics I don't want it in italics.

Hi Sssswm,
If you'd like to edit the email signature that is appended to email which you send from your iPhone, specifically to change the text style, please see the information below.
Select text. Tap the insertion point to display the selection options. Or double-tap a word to select it. Drag the grab points to select more or less text. In read-only documents, such as webpages, touch and hold to select a word.
You can cut, copy, or paste over selected text. With some apps, you can also get bold, italic, or underlined text (tap B/I/U); get the definition of a word; or have iPhone suggest an alternative. Tap to see all the options.
Edit text - iPhone
Take care,

Why can't i edit my project in imovie anymore?? (over 1 hr long) - is this a bug ?

why can't i edit my project in imovie anymore?? (over 1 hr long) - is this a bug ?

Hi
There is a limiting factor that's easy to miss.
• FREE SPACE on Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk
When this goes low then iMovie, Mac OS and all applications runs into problems. So to get a safe way to work (for me) I set a minimum that I try to never go lower than. (Sorry for strange sentence)
I never let my Mac (Macintosh HD) go lower than 25GB free space. If it does - then I move away things to an external hard disk (always Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted - as nothing else will do for VIDEO)
Else - in iDVD Time is the limiting factor. (iMovie - I never run into any - my monster Vacation epos is >>6 hours)
iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
• Best Performances
(movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.
About double on DL DVDs.

Why can't I edit this setting?

Hi,
I'm using WL 9.2.2 on Solaris. When I click on Deployments, select my deployment, click on "Lock and Edit", the checkbox next to "Path" is still disabled. What I want to do is change my path from the WAR file that is entered to a directory where I can explode my WAR and more easily edit files on the fly. I have verified that my server is shut down when I'm attempting to make these changes.
Any suggestions or thoughts? Thanks, - Dave

Thanks for your suggestion. It did not fix my problem but I continued poking around and fortunately I discovered this solution:
File > Export to> Numbers '09
The new file opened ans I was asked if I wanted to upgrade it.
I answered YES and I now have a fully funtional spreadsheet.

Firefox covers the whole screen so I can not see other programs opened at the bottom of screen

firefox covers the whole screen so I can not see other programs opened at the bottom of screen

It is possible that the screen is too high and that the status bar and scroll bar fall off at the bottom.
Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.<br />
If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.
