Do you know whats going on with cs 5?
Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator …
THX!!!
Hi Robin,
Photoshop CS5 will install and run on 10.10 (but you do have to install Java (JRE) which was used for CS Live services in CS5). OS X will prompt you to visit a webpage to download the JRE for 10.10. CS5 was not as extensively tested as CS6 and later.
Just upgraded yosemite and photoshop cs5 would not work Java did not work either. I uninstalled photoshop and reinstalled it and it works fine now , except for the fact that you can’t drag and drop to the photoshop icon . You have to drag from “Photos” to the desktop or folder first and then to Photoshop or opened file. not nearly as user friendly as “lion” and “iPhoto”. if anyone has better method would enjoy hearing from them. Thanks
Sounds like a bug in Photos.
CS5…..ID works, AI works, DW works… Photoshop doesn’t. Unless someone has a fix? The Java update hasn’t helped. I’ve reverted back to Mavericks for now… Reloaded off TimeMachine
It appears that the OS updater is corrupting PS CS5 if it was installed prior to updating to Yosemite. Please try and reinstall CS5: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/problems-with-photoshop-cs5-after-installing-yosemite-version-10-10-on-imac
I’ve had this same problem. Downloaded the JAVA script as prompted and still no avail. Ive installed a trial of photoshop CS6 and still have the same problem. When i open the photoshop application nothing appears other than the menu selections at the top i.e. file, edit etc. none of the photoshop features/tools show on the screen. When i open the drop down menus to try an open a file it doesn’t let me click on anything. Its only Photoshop I’m having an issue with all other apps are fine. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
You need to install “Java for OS X 2014-001” from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572
It supersedes Java 6 SE.
Hi Robin, i have same problem on Photoshop CS6 (13.02) so when i using brush its not reply to any shortcut like zoom in or out, panning and etc, and yea after choosing another tool and then back to brush its works. Also i notified some slow loading application, opening files and when use color picker tool then back to brush its has small delay. Have you same? Have you solve this problem?

Thanks a LOT Jeffrey for this solution : “WhiteWindoWorkAround.plugin”!
This problem of shortcuts drove me really crazy!!… I could not have find by myself that it was a problem with the Wacom tablet. But now all works. Thousand times Thanks.
You are my hero Jeffery!!! I didn’t know it was a tablet issue either! Thanks so much! You ROCK! I’d been trying to figure it out for the past 2 days and you don’t know how much you use that “X” short cut key until the bloody thing doesn’t work for you anymore!
Jeffrey thank you so much, the “WhiteWindoWorkAround.plugin” solved all my issues. Like Kazar and Mandi I had no idea it had to do with my Wacom Tablet. You saved me from hours of frustration.

Photoshop CS6 have a problem, the problem is short cut delay( press X switch color, and some tool ) when use brush
Hi Talken, I wasn’t able to reproduce this off-hand. Have you tried restoring your prefs? Instructions here: http://bit.ly/Troubleshoot_PS
i have try use “”Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS)”” to reset. But , i still can not use short cut, after i use brush tool.
i need press another tool icon ,shortcut will working again
I DO have the exact same problem. After using brush-related tool, screen got stuck and have to manually choose the other part of the photoshop and it comes back.
One another thing is, applying shortcut like command +z or, changing between foreground and background pressing X, have to press several times.
Is there any solutions?

I have to say that I have the same issue, except it isn’t just the brush as it is any tool. Using hot keys in quick succession ie: brush(b) to eraser (e) so I will be stuck on the brush tool even when I hotkeyed for the eraser tool, etc. It will change if i keep clicking the hotkey or if I click on a layer, however it’s still very troublesome.
I also looked it up and apparently this is an issue with other PS users where the hotkeys delay or do not work properly.

Thank you so much for this info.
This solved my issue!
I have this same issue. I have Yosemite installed on one of my IMac’s, running Photoshop CS6 version 13.0.6. I do have the whitewindow workaround plugin installed. No short cut commands work periodically (sometimes do, but usually don’t), and I’m forced to use the toolbox to switch tools. Very frustrating. I find issues with short cut commands for actions and scripts also, not just tools. I did reset and issues still continue. I do use a Wacom Intuos, updated all drivers there. Any info on getting to work better is appreciated. At this point I’m strongly urging all others I know to hold off on updating, and will be reverting to my other computer until this is solved.

I want to upgrade to Yosemite. Has anyone had issues with CS5 and Yosemite after installation?
The only issue I’ve experienced so far is when I try to use the space bar to activate Hand Tool. Not working. This has happened in the past (before Yosemite) but was fixed by closing Safari. This time that solution didn’t work.
Are there any other apps running besides PS? Quit or Exit other running applications one-by-one until the keyboard shortcuts work in Photoshop. http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-stop-photoshop-mac.html
Also, can’t get proportional scaling working while holding down SHIFT key. Hopefully I can find the solution to these frustrating annoyances. Hopefully these problems are fixable and not permanent under Yosemite.
After the Yosemite Upgrade my PS CS 5.5 is crashing regulary ! :/

Will CS 3 work with Yosemite? And do I need a patch for CS 3 in 10.9.5 Thanks
Hi Sean, I’m not sure. I haven’t personally tried CS3. You can certainly try it on a test partition to see if it works well enough for your needs.
Whoops. I didn’t know that some apps might not work on Yosemite. I have Adobe CS3 and my Mac is updating to 10.10 right now. I’ll let you know if anything fails…
CS3 does not work on Yosemite without downgrading to java SE 6
Wesley does downgrading to Java SE6 effect other programs
I have had a slight issue with my Intuos 4 (with latest supplied drivers) in Photoshop CC 2014.2, in which there’s a slight delay between a pen stroke and the stroke appearing on the canvas. Drawing with the mouse doesn’t exhibit this effect, and other drawing programs haven’t been affected.
I reset my preferences file, and the issue seems to have been resolved. I’m not seeing any other differences in terms of performance. I appreciate this blog post.
Glad to hear restoring the prefs fixed it:

have a new problem with Photoshop and I wonder if you could help resolve it as I am still using CS5.
Just upgraded my iMac 27 to OS to Yosemite version 10.10. Looked fine.
Then working in Lightroom 4.4 I tried to send a photo to Photoshop CS5 for further processing. Message came back saying I needed to download and install Jave ForOSX2014.001.dmg.
Did this.
Then tried again LR to CS5 and got very helpful message. “An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred. Photoshop will now exit “ Quit
Tried opening CS5 directly……same result.
Tried opening iPhoto (OK) and sent an image to CS5 from there (used to be automatic by clicking edit) …with the same result.
As I use CS5 all the time I’m a bit up the creek.
Any ideas?

So frustrating! I have been having this issue since I updated to Yosemite a couple weeks ago. I have installed the plungin and worked great for a few times. Then, for no apparent reason the problem would come back (shortcut keys not working, specifically the brush tool). I reinstalled the plugin again, restarted my computer and it would work again for a few images then bam it would happen again. This is now my 4th time and it’s happening AGAIN. Beyond frustrated. I can not work like this. Are there any better solutions in the works???

I just bought the Dreamweaver CS6 online and my MAC has been upgraded to OS X Yosemite. I tried to install the Dreamweaver CS6 on my MAC, but the .exe file keeps saying that ‘You can’t open the application “Dreamweaver_12_LS16.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X’. Could I ask what should I do now??? I am so confused. Thanks for any help
Hi Victoria, it looks like you purchased a windows version of Dreamweaver CS6. Older licenses, CS6 and earlier, are platform specific (and language specific). Note: Creative Cloud licenses are cross-platform and cross-language. You will need to do a platform swap and exchange your windows license for a mac license. I’ll have someone contact you about doing that.
I may be having a similar problem. I just downloaded CS6, but none of the files will open on my Mac. They are all .exe files, so it appears that I got the PC version instead of the Mac version. How do I fix this?
Hi Ken,
Yes. Looks like you accidentally purchased the windows version instead of the Mac version. I’ll have someone do an exchange for you.
You can download the mac trial of your product here and use the trial while you get sorted: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/other-downloads.html
HELP! I’m having issues with photoshop CS5 crashing, when printing (epson 2880). mY drivers are to day with Yosemite. Any Ideas resolving this issue? or am I SoL.

Same problem! CS5 crashing everytime I try to customize paper size now that I’ve upgraded to Yosemite. No update from Adobe for CS5 past what I have, (CS5 extended, 12.1) nor my printer (canon pixma 9000)
HELP 🙁
Hi Daisy,
I don’t recommend that customers upgrade to Yosemite without doing their own testing to ensure that it will work for their needs with their current hardware and drivers (especially with an older printer like yours).
If it’s not obvious, you should never upgrade your critical production environment before testing. Always use a separate partition or drive.
I also recommend that you do a clean install of the OS and your software.
Not upgrading is not an option when one has to buy a new computer.
Is there a comprehensive list somewhere of what works and what doesn’t in PS CS5 (12.0.4 64) installed fresh on a new Yosemite system?
There are two issues with running CS5 on Yosemite:
1) the updater damages the install. Reinstall CS5 to fix: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/problems-with-photoshop-cs5-after-installing-yosemite-version-10-10-on-imac
2) You need to install the latest Java Runtime. See the details here: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/photoshop-cs5-not-working-in-yosemite

I have been running Adobe CS5 in my MacBook Air for three years, trough software updates through Mac OS Mavericks without a problem.
When I installed Yosemite two days ago Photoshop — was up to date — would not start and asked to download and install Java JRE for 10.10, which I did.
Now Photoshop tries to open but immediately get a message “An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred. Photoshop will now exit.” — it never opens.

I had upgraded to Mavericks and I wanted to see if the same issues are being discovered upgrading to Yosemite before I waste the time upgrading. I noticed two problems that the WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin didn’t resolve. One of them was that the names for the color swatches wouldn’t pop up when I hovered the cursor over them. The other problem was the issue with the brush tool. I could brush a few times but it would stick and I would have to tap the screen again to get the tool to respond. The work I do switches from selection tools to brushes very fast. The lack of cooperation between Adobe and Apple have made it difficult for me to continue working.
I ultimately had to downgrade just to get Adobe PS CS6 to work better but still don’t have a 100% flawless program. I doubt I will upgrade to Yosemite until I see that you update adobe PS CS6 to work properly with Apple’s newer operating systems. From what I am reading here the problems are the same and the fix isn’t any better.

Hi Bill,
Two problems.
1. You don’t have all the Photoshop updates installed: http://adobe.ly/PS-Up-To-Date
2. You don’t have the whitewindows plug-in installed correctly: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-menus-turn-white-mac.html
Do both of those, restart everything and let me know if that makes everything happy.
I don’t have the whitewindows plug-in installed at all since i downgraded my OS to Mountain Lion. Doe the plugin help with that OS as well?
The plug in is still necessary for brush and keyboard shortcut issues for 10.8 through 10.10. (The plug-in just isn’t needed for the white menu issue which was an early Mavericks bug fixed in 10.9.2 and later)
Outstanding! I can already see an improvement. Thank you.
Jeffrey, on the link you provided regarding Whitewindows plugin, there is one note:
NOTE: This step is for Photoshop CC (2013) and CS6 on only. Additionally, the plug-in is not compatible with Mac OS 10.10.x (Yosemite).
So if it’s not compatible with Yosemite, why do you offer this as solution?
Thanks…
Sorry, that was an error. If you’re on CS6, you can/should use this plug-in with Yosemite for issues with brushing and keyboard shortcuts.
CS5.5 with Yosemite.
When I type in Photoshop … it’s super slow! Everything else appears to be ok so far but typing is slow! That could explain the people having issues with shortcuts.
It’s not just when I type using the type tool, it’s like all typing … if I type to find a font, if I change the name of a layer … even when I go to save a file!
Hi Matt, Try clearing your font caches (http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-fonts-photoshop-cs5.html) and try again. If the problem persists, I would suspect a bad font and do solution #8.
Hello! I have just done a clean install of OS X Yosemite. I own a Mac license of Creative Suite 5. I installed Photoshop and Illustrator (and of course Bridge, Extension Manager, and Camera RAW install too with that selection). I ensured prior to installation that I had the latest Java runtime, no problems there (though I wish I didn’t have to install Java!) I am however having a continual issue with updating my CS5 apps (even after I have activated and launched the applications successfully… and rebooted my machine several times for good measure!) Whenever I run the Adobe updater, the updates appear to download (I can see my capped bandwidth disappearing!), but right when it goes to install, it errors out thus: “There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later.” I have tried multiple times over a couple of days to update my CS5 apps, to no avail 🙁 The updater worked fine on OS X Mavericks, but I keep getting this same error message on OS X Yosemite. And I know the updates are downloading too… ~200MB each time I try!! I realize CS5 isn’t officially supported on this OS, but I’d love to get it going, as I can’t afford anything in the way of upgrades currently. The updater indicates I should contact Customer Support if this error continues to occur… hence this post! Thanks in advance for any light you may be able to shed upon my particular problem 🙂
Are you installing by selecting Help>Updates… from the apps? Or are you downloading the updates directly from Adobe.com through a browser?
I am trying to install via Help > Updates from within the apps (I’ve tried from Bridge, Photoshop, and Illustrator). I was unaware there were any direct links I could use in a browser, I’ve always used the built-in updater successfully in the past on all prior OS X versions.
I just found Adobe’s page for updates here: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html I carefully cross-referenced what the built-in Help > Updates told me I needed, and downloaded those disk images. They all installed perfectly, and now my built-in Help > Updates confirms my CS5 apps are up-to-date 🙂 Thanks again for your help, I had no idea one could download these off your site, instead of using the updater!
I did a clean install of OS X 10.10 Yosemite, and restored content from Time Machine. The rest of the apps work fine, but Photoshop CS6 (normal) is performing abominably. Simply zooming in 1x takes about 20 seconds to register, after producing the pinwheel. Selecting another brush, switching between open documents, all produce the pinwheel, and up to a minute of delay. The brush strokes themselves lag about 2-5 seconds, and many times the entire program does not respond at all (i.e, I have a regular cursor, not a brush, and though Photoshop is selected as the active program, I cannot interact with it at all when it does this. This usually lasts for about 5 minutes). It performed phenomenally in Mavericks. At this point the program is essentially unusable. I’m a concept artist by trade so this is a serious issue for me. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried restoring your prefs? http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2012/07/photoshop-basic-troubleshooting-steps-to-fix-most-issues.html#Preferences
Thanks a million Jeffery, that seems to have been the problem. 8 years of daily Photoshop use and I never knew about that fix!
Well it seems I’ve spoken too soon. Upon first restart of Photoshop, it worked fine. I quit for a bit and came back to it, starting it up for the second time since the pref reset, and it’s doing all of the same things again. Currently not responding to any commands, seemingly prompted after attempting a ctrl+z undo action.
Also, it’s burning my CPU up like crazy. It’s gone up by 15 degrees celsius since freezing.
Hi Haven, It may help if we could see your Photoshop System Info. Directions for sharing your system info from Photoshop:

I’ve read the various comments and am struggling. I downloaded the Legacy Java version as recommended and all worked well including Photoshop. That is until today – two days later – when Photoshop says it has an unrecoverable error and goes no further. All of my other CS5 Creative Suite apps appear to be working. I have re-installed the Java runtime but not yet re-installed Photoshop.
Ideas?
Hi Paul, please read the comments above. Reinstall Photoshop to fix whatever corruption the OS upgrade did.
My MacBook died this weekend. I’m trying to load CS3 onto my iMac (27-inch, Late 2013). I still have the original disc. Everything seems to do well until I go to actually load CS3. Then I get the error “Required Resources are missing”. I’ve read through various comments with other problems, but haven’t found this issue.
I tried installing prior to, and then again after, upgrading to Yosemite.
Need to know what to do, now. Thanks.
Did you try copying the contents of the installer to your desktop and run from there?
Otherwise, try downloading the installer from here: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs3-product-downloads.html
I’m having the same problem when I try to install Adobe Illustrator CS4 on Yosemite — “Required resources are missing.” I can’t finish the installation. (I’m also using the install file provided by Adobe on their website).
Any other ideas?
the keyboard shortcuts, such as zooming in/out, undo etc, intermittently do not respond.
I have to click on another tool in the tool bar to get the keyboard to respond again.
The problem returns intermittently and seemingly not as a result of the Auto Save function.
Any of the plug in does not work
Yosemite
Imac 2013
Wacom Bamboo Pen
Photoshop cs6
I upgraded it, reinstall tablet, added all the plug in on this forum and any i could find in other forums… and still i cannot use shortcut in photoshop. It just stop responding…
I would be grateful for any lead I could follow to fix as I animate in photoshop daily and i use the brush, erase, zoom in out and every 2 seconds… my workflow is stupidly slow now
photoshop system info
Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0.6 (13.0.6 20131025.r.54 2013/10/25:21:00:00) x64
Operating System: Mac OS 10.10.0
Optional and third party plug-ins: NONE
Install this plug in: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-menus-turn-white-mac.html
Restart Photoshop and let me know if that makes everything happy.
The plugin works great thanks!
When I upgraded to Yosemite my PS CC (14.2.1) started acting funny when working with my Intuos Pro Tablet: shortcuts didn’t work properly, the program did get stuck with one tool and I had to click outside the canvas to carry on working, etc….
After a few days struggling with this issue I re-installed PS CC and the problem was still there, but I decided to try the whitewindows plug-in (http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-menus-turn-white-mac.html) even though someone said it is not necessary with Yosemite.
Well, IT WORKED.
It’s not necessary for the White menus issue, but it’s still required for the shortcut/painting tools issues with a Wacom tablet.
I obviously missed the post where you specify that, otherwise I wouldn’t have posted my experience.
Thanks anyway for the tip.
Hello. I just downloaded Yosemite last night and now am having issues with photoshop elements 11. I’m super frustrated because I was in the middle of a workflow editing photographs for a wedding and need to have them done ASAP! I’m hoping someone has a solution here. My brush tool and eraser tool will not drag. They only make dots. How can I remedy this??
Try using a mouse instead of the trackpad. http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/pse-stops-responding-yosemite.html
Photoshop cs 6 on os yosemite the keyboard shortcut sometimes not working as I am using dodging tools and try to switch to command+w to close and save they not working. Os have been updated and the same with photoshop. I have tried to reset the preferences too and not working. Please give solution to this problem.
Install this plug in: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-menus-turn-white-mac.html
Restart Photoshop and let me know if that makes everything happy.
How you install it the plugin?
it just said need to update the os
Thanks
My illustrator CS5.1 which occurred in yosemite delay selection tool , select the object when the mouse moves ~ object will stick together………I can not work smoothly , this bug will be fixed it?
It’s unlikely there illustrator team would ‘fix’ this in an old version that wasn’t originally designed to run on Yosemite. They may have a workaround. Contact them here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&loc=en
Thank you Jeffrey Tranberry ,
This fixed the problem, my tools, brush resizing etc are now back to normal and Photoshop feels more responsive in general.
Anyone else that is having similar problems I suggest you follow the link and download the zip that Jeffrey Tranberry posted above.
Thanks again.
I am having problems with Bridge in CS6 and Yosemite. First I apply my adjustments to my RAW files in Bridge, allow the images to render, and then renumber the images. Then, all the adjustments disappear and the images go back to the original state. Help…thanks!
Hello Jeffery,
I’ve installed Yosemite as an upgrade and running CS6. Noticing some of the issues others have, I installed the WhiteWindow file and restored Preferences.
Unfortunately, when working with brushes, there is a slight lag when going back and forth between the color picker and actually brushing. I swipe the brush and it takes a brief moment for the stroke to happen.
Any advice would be helpful.
My system is quite capable of handing this and it worked well with Mountain Lion.
27″ iMac – Late 2012
3.4 GHz i7
32 GB RAM
2GB Graphics
A little bit more info: Mouse works quickly without lag in Photoshop. I am using a Wacom Bamboo tablet with all the updated software and drivers. This might be a case Wacom and Photoshop not liking each other at the moment?
Hi Scott,
I see you are using a Wacom. I have seen some threads where they recommend using driver version # 6.3.8.

I’m trying to decide if I should move up to OS X Yosemite on my iMac, I have PS Elements 9 and would like to know if it will be compatible.
Hi Maureen, Elements 9 is not compatible with Yosemite. Elements 13 is the first version compatible with this new OS.
I’m using photoshop elements 11 and since i’ve updated my mac to os x 10.10 my move tool in elements is wacky. the only way i can move something is with the arrow keys. the move tool snaps back to the original spot. i don’t have any snap to selected. ideas?
thank you!!
Best bet, use a mouse or upgrade to Elements 13.

Re CS4 Photoshop links to Illustrator: “Error. Plugin: Photoshopimport.aip”
How do I fix this?
Have you tried reinstalling PS and AI?
Hi guys, after updated to yosemite I’ve got very odd problem with photoshop (cc2014.2.1). After i press cmd+Q photoshop quits but then starts over again by itself. Only way that i find to quit is force quit. Maybe somebody have same issue.
When will Adobe cs6, like all the indesign, illustrator, and all those cs6 programs work with os x Yosemite?
When we installed Yosemite a few days ago, various problems began to happen.
I use a Cintiq Companion Hybrid, and I just updated it in hopes that the driver was the main problem. It only helped slightly, but Photoshop still didn’t work properly.
My problem is the immense lag that Yosemite has caused to Photoshop’s (I use CS6 by the way) performance. The biggest issue was using the tools. The lag was very, very unpredictable and would be the same no matter the document size. The brush tool and paint bucket tool is the worst of them all, once taking 30 minutes for a single, no-pressure opacity/size change stroke to process. A relatively short one too.
Is re-installation the key to solving my problem? I already installed the white windows plugin.
Have you tried restoring your Photoshop prefs? http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2012/07/photoshop-basic-troubleshooting-steps-to-fix-most-issues.html#Preferences

Hi Bob, did you install the JRE? Did you try and reinstall Ai, Fl and Dw?
Jeffrey, Please help. I have posted this previously but it may have got lost. I have uninstalled CS5 and re-installed after installing Yosemite trying both your link and my CS5 UPGRADE disc. In both cases I can open Photoshop and Bridge but in order to use Bridge for my Nikon D7000, an update was needed. Updating resulted in a download error message – ‘there was an error downloading this update please quit and try again later.’ I am not techie savvy and don’t know how to attached the relevant screen shot. I am desperate as I need Photoshop urgently.
Hi Lionel, how were you downloading the update? From Adobe.com directly? Or did you use Help>Updates…from the Bridge application’s Help menu?
Hi Jeffrey, I used Help>Updates – tried to install from both the Bridge application help menu and PS help menu. Both produced the downloads error.
Hi!
After I upgraded the OS X Yosemite, I can’t open my photoshop’s filter gallery any more.
I don’t know if the problem is about the new MAC system or photoshop?
Thanks!
Does it give an error? What version of Photoshop?
I can’t even open a file with CS5 anymore. Every time I try, Photoshop freezes and my Mac restarts. It only does this with Photoshop and not with any of my other applications. Is anybody else having this problem?
Hi Jade, your whole system restarts? That’s very low level failure, like a bad driver, bad OS install, hardware failure or possibly a font activation issue.
For the unrecoverable problem in cs5 after upgrade to yosemite, I did the following steps to get yhe photoshop cs5 working again:
I did not have to uninstall. I selected the photoshop icon, and then right click in this icon, go to “show package contents” -> contents -> and move info.plist into the trash.
After that, try to open photoshop again. It worked like a charm. I hope I can help some desperate one, like I was.
Hi Jeffrey, I have once again tried to install the updates from help/ updates but with no success. What do suggest I should try?
Hi.
I’m having problems with Photoshop (as well as Illustrator, both CC 2014 version) after upgrading to Yosemite. Every time I try to open filter gallery in Photoshop, an error message saying unable to continue pops up and the only choice left is to click ok. I doubt it’s a problem regarding photoshop filters because when in Illustrator, I’m also unable to apply effects categorized under photoshop, while those categorized under illustrator still work.
Tried uninstall then reinstall both PS & AI but nothing changes.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

I suspect it may be a graphics card driver issue.
Thanks for your reply, Jeff.
However, I’ve tried all the troubleshooting steps but none was successful. I called Adobe tech support and was informed that this seemed to be a pretty common problem among Yosemite users, and an update ought to be delivered sometime in November (fingers crossed).
I don’t think it’s a graphics card driver issue since this happened to both me and my colleagues (iMac 2009, iMac 2012, MBP 2011 & MBA 2010). But perhaps how Yosemite configures the GPU?
Has anyone else had a problem with “Save As…” dialog boxes not dismissing after saving in inDesign? I am able to save my file correctly, the dialog box disappears as normal, and then it reappears almost instantly over my work. The dialog box can be moved around normally by grabbing the title bar and dragging, but it cannot be dismissed and the buttons are unresponsive.
I installed CS5.5 freshly on a fresh install of Yosemite. I have run all available updates. inDesign 7.5.3

Hi could anyone tell me if Photoshop cs4 is compatible with OS X Yosemite.I don’t want to upgrade if it compromises it
Thanks very much
Unfortunately I’ve encountered some problems with CC after updating my IMac (2013) to Yosemite.
In the beginning everything seems to be okay. But after opening a couple of photo’s first the picture is completely disordered. It suddenly (It just occurs) loks like some kind of collage, containing several photographs (which some I openend in Photoshop a long time ago) or just a variation of colors. Note; the little preview at the layer-block still shows the original picture.
After a short while, the whole working area (The picture + the grey field) turn completely black.
For all this time I can still use my computer normally, the tools in Photoshop still ‘work’.
I’ve tried updating the software, but CC then comes with ‘error code 1’.
What can I do to solve this? It’s getting really annoying, for I have to work through a lot of photographs.
(Apologies if there are any misspeld words or sentences in this message, English is not my mother tongue. (Netherlands) )
Thanks in advance for any answers which might help me!
Sounds like you’re hitting a video card driver issue.

We are having same problems. iMac 2013 with Photoshop CC 2014. After upgrading to Yosemite and using Photoshop after opening a few NEFs and working them into Photoshop the images get turned into some kind of crude collage for lack of a better word. Also last night images that were edited were no longer visible on their individual tabs within Photoshop yet we’re still clearly visible in the layers palettes. I updated Java and uninstalled Photoshop CC. I reinstalled through Creative Cloud Manager and still same issues. We are really at a loss for what to do. With images piling up fast we need a fix quickly.
Sounds like a video driver issue. Did you update Yosemite to 10.10.1?
I have installed DreamWeaver CC 2014 twice (uninstall, reboot, reinstall) on OS X Yosemite.
Install goes OK, but clicking it to launch it just blinks and nothing happens; it will not launch, period. There is no error message of any kind and I can find nothing in the console log.
hi Lloyd, I’m not terribly versed with Dw issues. I’ll have someone contact you directly.
Hi Jeffrey,
A small question. In your screenshot, the text layer “Add your hero t…” has another font then the other layers. In my version this happens to every other layer (some text layers, shape layer, pixel layer etc). Is it a bug or some feature?
Thank you in advance
Kindest regards

Hi Christopher, Not a new behavior. Any time a layer name is too long to fit it switches to a font to show more characters
Aha! That makes sense. Thank you for the answer 🙂

I am having the same problem with keyboard shortcuts not working, or working only sporadically. This seems to happen most with “X” to switch foreground/background, the brush and clone stamp tools, the move tool, the eraser, the wand, the patch — oh heck, it happens with every tool I use frequently. I am using a Wacom Intuos Pro (although I don’t know how that would affect the keyboard), a wireless keyboard, iMac (circa 2009 or 10), and Yosemite. I’m using Photoshop CC 2014, latest update, and I’ve installed the “whitewindow” plugin. I’ve trashed preferences numerous times on PS, uninstalled and reinstalled, uninstalled and reinstalled the Wacom driver numerous times, and nothing works. Clicking on keyboard shortcuts frequently results in no action, or in PS selecting the previous tool I used.
Have you accidentally enabled Mouse Keys? Select System Preferences>Accessibility then select “Mouse & Trackpad” Is Enable Mouse Keys enabled?
If so, uncheck it. Then click on [Options…] in the same dialog and make sure “Press the Options Key five times to toggle Mouse Keys” is unchecked.
Thanks for your reply. Both of those were unchecked, though.
I currently have OSX Lion and want to upgrade to Yosemite but I’m not sure if all the installed adobe suites I have(cs5) will be carried over without me having to buy or get a newer version for Yosemite.. please clarify, thanks
Photoshop CS5 runs but hasn’t been extensively tested on Yosemite. You should create a partition and install Yosemite and your software to make sure it works nicely for you needs with your hardware and drivers.
Hello I update to Yosemite, but after installing Adobe InDesign and Photoshop don’t recognize .psd or .indd files! There is a black icon like terminal icon.

Mr. Tranberry, I appreciate the support. Will the solution offered in this link (http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/pse-stops-responding-yosemite.html) work with Elements 9?
It may, it hasn’t been tested with 9.
I think Adobe has a file sharing issue with Yosemite. We share files at work from Mac to Mac. We all have Yosemite now. We can “save as” and create a new document in the shared folder, however, when we make changes, we cannot save over it. It tells us the file is “currently in use” and to rename it. As a graphic designer I save a lot and I don’t want to have multiple saved files of the same design. What makes it worse is we can’t delete the old file names as it’s still “currently in use” – This only happens with Adobe products. Everything works fine with other non adobe apps. We’re running off CS6. Anyone have the same issue?.
Hi Just updated to MacOS 10.10 Yosemite and running Adobe Photoshop CS3. I needed to install Java SE6 to get it to work. Now photoshop will open. Trouble is when I use the file info for a caption. You can caption all you want but you can’t save or cancel the caption the program just won’t respond. The only thing you can do is quit photoshop. As a workaround I use photomechanic for all the caption work and photoshop CS3 for color adjustment. Anybody have a idea to fix the caption part in CS3?
I have recent upgraded my system to Yosemite on my MBP. Now, when I tried opening Illustrator, it gave me an error which said “To open “Adobe Illustrator CS6.app” you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime.” Can anyone help. where can I download it from? and is there any other thing I have to do to solve this problem? Can I go back to my previous OS ‘Mavericks’ instead? I want to bring back my life as soon as possible, I will install this OS update after these bugs are fixed.

Hi. I just went through the “photoshop isn’t working in Yosemite” fight. Got it working (Ps5), but now, when I close the program it informs me that it cannot save my preferences.

Sounds like a permissions issue. Try creating a new Admin user account and run Photoshop from the new user account to see if the problem goes away: http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2012/07/photoshop-basic-troubleshooting-steps-to-fix-most-issues.html#Permissions

Is creative Suite 6 compatible Yosemite? I am currently running maverick and CS6 and was unsure if I should upgrade or not. I really don’t have money to switch to creative Cloud at this time so having my CS6 Work is a must.
Photoshop CS6 runs fine on it, however, CS6 wasn’t designed and nor extensively tested to run on this new OS. I don’t recommend that customers upgrade to Yosemite without doing their own testing to ensure that it will work for their needs with their current hardware and drivers.
If it’s not obvious, you should never upgrade your critical production environment before testing. Always use a separate partition or drive.
I also recommend that you do a clean install of the OS and your software. I see far too many issues introduced via upgrade and with user migration assistant. (like this one and other permissions related issue)

With all due respect, it would be great if Adobe could put up a software compatibility page. Something that can enable us to determine compatibility with Yosemite (etc.).

Hi –
I have never seen Photoshop operate slower than on OS X Yosemite 10.10.
I have a:
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014)
2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB
1TB SSD
I have a document created on mavericks which works flawless there. But moving about ONE group containing 10 layers takes about 6 minutes.
All apps I have incl. other adobe ones, run faster in general on 10.10. But Photoshop is really suffering a whole lot.
I keep a Mavericks Partition for this exact reason so I am not in a dilemma here… but to claim that the current version of photoshop is a good performer on 10.10 would be downright wrong.
Yes, Photoshop will launch and create a new document for you. But there is a little bit more to being compatible than that.

Hi Morten,
I haven’t heard this reported from other users. What troubleshooting steps have you tried? If you save a copy of your current prefs and restore them does the problem go away? http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2012/07/photoshop-basic-troubleshooting-steps-to-fix-most-issues.html#Preferences
A pretty new discovery – those who are continuously having lag problems and you’re on CS6 Photoshop, Yosemite with a Wacom (or variation), try turning off your rulers in Photoshop. (CMD+R) That cleared up the brush lag. I’m not sure how that works with CC.
I’m not sure if Adobe is aware of it yet, but there’s part of the problem.
Rulers shouldn’t make a difference in brushing performance. Have you tried restoring your prefs, then enabling the rulers again?
Hi Jeffery – I’ve restored preferences a few times, restarted and most other advice on this board. Other than doing a complete clean re-install of CS6 and Yosemite, I’ve done it all. I’ll probably do that over the holidays.

Hi. Hoping I’ve missed something after reading all comments and applying various remedies without much improvement. I’ve installed Yosemite, upgrading my imac from snow leopard. After install I discovered Photoshop CS5 didn’t work and after reading this post and comments I reinstalled and update JRE as suggested. That resolved the initial problem. However, Photoshop performance is now close to cardiac arrest. Simple tasks like resize an image and Save for Web taking so long that I’ve visibly aged by the time it completes. Any ideas or suggestions? I only use one central drive so scratch disk is local. Would it help to partition or use external drive as scratch disk? I welcome any advice that may help as this is having a huge impact on productivity.

I didn’t find out about time machine until it was too late, so I can’t go back to the previous operating system. I’m having a similar problem, but it’s with Adobe Illustrator CS5.1. After I had run the new operating system update, icons from my launch pad had disappeared. I made a new icon for Illustrator and when I clicked on it, I got a window saying that the application has been moved. “The application has been moved, and its path has changed. To update the product configuration, click Update.” I went ahead and clicked update, and like photoshop, the menu box for the tools wasn’t available along with multiple others. I also got an error when trying to open files saying ” This file contains elements that are not managed by plug-ins that are not currently available. You can delete or expand these elements but you cannot manipulate them in other ways.” It also gives me a list of the missing plug-ins at the bottom. I ended up making a new Illustrator icon and the program works fine, but I have to remember every time when I open the program to not hit update.
I really don’t know what to do here. I’m afraid to even try using the program with my small fix. Help please!

What versions of PS and AI? What troubleshooting have you done? http://bit.ly/Troubleshoot_PS
Go to “http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572′ and run the downloader it will fix all issues. I tried to download the newest Java first and that didnt work, then I went to the website above and downloaded the file. All is well and all of CS5 is working properly. Good luck.
Hi, I have just installed the CS5 on an iMac running Yosemite 10.10.1. Now, I cannot print from Photoshop with an Epson stylus 2100. PS is closed as soon as I click “Print”, whereas printing out of InDesign CS5 works fine with the same environment. I have the Java 6 runtime installed (as recommended) as well as the latest Epson driver. The CS5 and the same printer were working fine in OS 10.5.8 and OS 10.8.
What does the crash log have in it? Have you updated the driver? Some customers report that just updating the driver may not work. You need to delete the driver, delete the printer, install the latest driver then install the printer.
I don’t recommend that customers upgrade to Yosemite without doing their own testing to ensure that it will work for their needs with their current hardware and drivers. If it’s not obvious, you should never upgrade your critical production environment before testing. Always use a separate partition or drive.

Hi, I’m having issues with my old computer and I’m therefore about to buy a new computer (an iMac with Retina 5K display) but the operating system on this new iMac is OS X Yosemite. I would like to install Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium (purchased in June 2013) on this iMac (currently I still use CS5, so I will possibly also install CS5 on this new iMac). Before I purchase this iMac I wanted to inform whether installing (CS5 and) CS6 on this new computer might cause problems because of the operating system (as most of the questions above relate to software issues after having updated the operating system, not to issues when first installing software on a computer that runs on Yosemite). Thanks in advance for your reply!
It should work fine. You’ll need the latest JRE for CS5: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572
If you use a Wacom tablet, you’ll want this plug-in: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-menus-turn-white-mac.html
Jeffery: the link you’ve provided, http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572, does not work. It opens to a blank page and nothing happens. I’m having the same issue as everyone else. I’m using photoshop cs4 and every time i try to open it I receive a box telling me to install the legacy Java SW 6 runtime. once I do, it says it’s installed and then when I open photoshop I receive the same message.
It’s working here. Try a different browser, or clear your cache/cookies for apple.com or contact Apple.
There is a long-standing, strange bug at the Apple support site that can display a blank page when links to support.apple.com tech notes are opened directly. To get around it, first visit the top level of the Apple support site (support.apple.com), and then when you revisit the link you were trying to view (such as the Java updater page) it will finally show up.
I think this may be why the Java page is blank for some and visible to others, though I don’t know what the cause is. It may be better to post the direct download link:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/DL1572/en_US/JavaForOSX2014-001.dmg
I’m getting a message saying photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver and has temorarily disabled enhancements which use the graphics hardware!
It’s causing my machine to freeze though I can move the cursor around and if it does work it just doesn’t look sharp like normal!
I’m running cc2014
Are you on Mac? If so, is your Photoshop up to date (2014.2.2)? http://adobe.ly/PS-Up-To-Date
Hello all,
I just recently upgraded to a newer/used iMac running OS X 10.10.1. My older (Power Pc) iMac was running a little sluggish especially with web browsing.
I have been using Photoshop CS and Illustrator CS2.
Would you be able to tell me if they are compatible or not? I haven’t had a chance to install just yet.
If it doesn’t support it, is there a way around it?
I can’t afford the $599.99 price tag on CS6
Thanks
Hi Anthony, no CS1 and CS2 will not run on 10.10.1 or the latest Mac hardware. They were designed to run on PowerPC processors and the latest Mac’s use Intel processors.
The cheapest way to get Photoshop is this plan: https://creative.adobe.com/plans/photography
The Creative Cloud Photography Plan includes Photoshop CC, Lightroom, Lightroom mobile, plus get all the product updates/upgrades as part of your membership.
I just upgraded to Yosemite and can’t run CS4. I followed the prompt to upgrade Java, and I get Error 150:30. After an hour of googling a fix, the result is a tired and cranky me. I don’t have time for this and am leaving for vacation, where I planned to spend time overhauling a non-profit’s web site. I appreciate any input. Adobe’s site has been the opposite of helpful. Thanks, Sarah
Hi Sarah, the solution to fix the damaged Yosemite did to licensing is here: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/error-licensing-stopped-mac-os.html
The Photoshop team has tested the following versions of Photoshop on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite) and found no issues specific to this operating system… ha ha ha ha ha yep, we can assume this to be rubbish. If t did;t crash all over the place this forum wouldn’t be here Adobe.. but of course no one at adobe is listening.. and never has.
Hi Mike,
What version of Photoshop? (I don’t see any registered/owned versions of Photoshop under your email address)
what sort of troubleshooting have done? http://bit.ly/Troubleshoot_PS
Do you have a crash log? http://adobe.ly/gNJWVY
I was using InDesign CS4 on my old iMac, which used Snow Leopard. I now have a new iMac and Yosemite 10.10.1. InDesign works but crashes when I try to print. I can export files to PDF and print from there. What can a infrequent user do to use this program? I’m not a power user.
My son and I shared the original purchase and he now uses your creative cloud.
Is your driver up-to-date? Just updating the driver may not work. You need to delete the driver, delete the printer, install the latest driver then install the printer.
Also, see this document from Apple on troubleshooting printing on OS X: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201539
Did it work properly prior to upgrading to Yosemite? I don’t recommend that customers upgrade to Yosemite without doing testing to ensure that it will work for their needs with their current hardware and drivers.
Photoshop CS4 does run on Yosemite, however, CS4 wasn’t designed and nor extensively tested to run on this new OS. I don’t recommend that customers upgrade to Yosemite without doing their own testing to ensure that it will work for their needs with their current hardware and drivers.
I am running Photoshop CS5 from the Design Standard Suite. I recently upgraded to Mac OS X 10.10.1 on my 27″ 3.5GHz iMac. I have the same issue on my 13″ Macbook Pro too. When I attempt to save any file type to my Mac Mini Server that is running 10.9.5 that I have administrative access to, I get the error “Could not save as “filename” because write access was not granted. I have tired both Illustrator and InDesign to see if I can create and save files to the same folder on the server that I’m attempting to in Photoshop and I have no problems. I can even reopen them and re-save the files. On the server I have done a permissions repair and restart of the machine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried creating a new Admin user account and run Photoshop from the new Admin user account: http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2012/07/photoshop-basic-troubleshooting-steps-to-fix-most-issues.html#Permissions
Jeffrey…I created a new admin account and tried all the above steps that I had done before with all three Adobe Programs. The results were the same when I tried signing into the server with another server admin login. This issue is baffling to me. I’ve even tried creating and saving various Microsoft Office files and Apple’s iWork Application files, and they all allow me to create and save just like InDesign and Illustrator. Photoshop is the lone software that doesn’t allow me to save. Would you suggest uninstalling the suite and reinstalling? Any advice would be greatly appreciated as now I am saving all work to my desktop and then dragging and dropping onto the server. Obviously that adds an extra step that I would like to eliminate. Thanks again.
Sorry, did you try new Admin on the client machine? (As opposed to the server) The problem is more likely on the client machines.
Jeffrey…I tried both. I created a new admin on the client machine and had the same error. I then tried a different admin on the server with the new admin on the client computer.
And just to confirm, this did not happen with 10.9?
Jeffrey…yes you are correct. This did not happen with 10.9. It only happens with 10.10.
I have upgraded my computer to Yosemite. Ever since doing that I have had problems with Photoshop. I had CS5, after I upgraded to Yosemite, I downloaded CC2014.
I am constantly having to quit the program because when I open files in the programs, I have issues. The photos are a jumbled mess instead of the actual photo. I can send examples.
It is very frustrating. How can I correct this problem? I hate wasting time having to constantly quit and reopen the Photoshop.
Thank you
Apple released an update for Yosemite (10.10.2 update). Install it and it should fix the issues with graphics preview corruption.
Thank you!!! So far so good. It’s been driving me crazy!!!
Great to hear!
photoshop quit unexpectedly What can I Do ???????? Last 3 Months Is Problem Started Please Help Me
Did this start when you updated to Yosemite? Are you using an old version of Photoshop like CS5? Reinstall to fix the damaged files.http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/problems-with-photoshop-cs5-after-installing-yosemite-version-10-10-on-imac
Would like to install CS 5 on Yosemite 10.10.1.
Is this recomended?
Thanks for reply
Should work fine.
Before Adobe CS 5 i installed JAVA 6. Then CS 5.
It works.
Thank for all the comments.

Have your tried restoring your preferences?: http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2012/07/photoshop-basic-troubleshooting-steps-to-fix-most-issues.html#Preferences
After the 10.10.2 update, photoshop CC crashes every time.
The message which it gives is disabled display drivers and then it just crashes when I click OK. My machine is MacMini 2014, i5 2.6, 8GB, intel iris.
If anyone knows the reason for this to be happening (all software is up to date), please do tell. It’s kinda urgent to have it working by tomorrow night.
What does the crash log say? Have you tried to restore your prefs: http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2012/07/photoshop-basic-troubleshooting-steps-to-fix-most-issues.html#Preferences

I got PS CS5 to work with Yosemite and upgrading to Java from the new link Java for OS X 2014-001 but when opening psd files I created last year it says Could not complete your request because of a program error
Have you tried restoring your prefs?
How do I do that. I know a lot about macs but this is something I have not done in the past.
Does anyone know if you don’t want the creative cloud crap on your computer and just want to purchase newest version of PS how or where you go to do that. Cant get anyone on the phone and VERY FRUSTRATED with this whole new online subscription system I JUST WANT TO DOWNLOAD AND PAY FOR THE NEWEST VERSION OF PS not RENT or subscribe to anything. I upgraded to Yosemite and nothing but issues with Adobe products. WHY DID I do this and why does Adobe not do anything to fix issues. I can’t open any PSD files for my work and its gives me an error “Could not complete your request because of a program errror” Now trying to get back to Mavericks
I Have the same issues! I hate your Yosemite!
Yosemite is an Apple product, not Adobe.
Doe anyone know if PS CS5 works no issues with Mavericks or Lion.
Well, I fixed the issue with pulling another hard drive and that had snow leopard on it and reverting back. I will not upgrade again, Apple needs to fix these things notably for PS as it’s the most used in many industries. I have never had issues with Snow leopard and will only upgrade to Lion or Mavericks if they are running without issues. Made a regular business day when PSD’s needed to be modified a real pain in the $(&%%()#. Never agin !!!!
Hi,
I use new imac retina 5k (i7, 16gb ram, r9 m295x) and still encounter some lag issues in CS6/CC. Painting is a bit laggy (rulers turned off) but most problematic is color sampling (with GPU/Picker Ring it’s laggy as hell, sometimes ‘thinking’ animation pops out, just little less laggy with GPU turned off).
Only thing i could think of is adding some more RAM, but still, my old MBP from late 2008 is faster (Mountain Lion) in Photoshop.
Help, i need to paint. :<
We’re investigating some slowdowns on Yosemite and new 5k iMacs.
Mr Tranberry, I don’t actually have a problem with CS5 under 10.10. I just wanted to commend you for your patience and thoroughness on this forum. You have answered some of the same questions numerous times for different people, instead of just saying “see previous reply” or ignoring their posts altogether. I don’t know if you practice Transcendental Meditation or something, but I wish I knew whatever your trick is! After several years in customer service myself, I must applaud your efforts. In these days of robot-like tech support reps following scripts, it’s refreshing to witness real customer assistance still being administered. As I know that most people only reach out to vendors when there is a problem (I am guilty of this as well), I thought I should make a point to say: Thank you.
(PS also very much appreciate the Weird Science reference on your blog)
Hey. Thanks Michael! Appreciate that and glad you got the reference. 🙂 I think you’re the first to get it.
Jeffrey…I too want to second Michael’s thoughts. I really appreciate your helping out. My issue was never resolved, but I am waiting to see if it something on Apple’s end that will get corrected. Again, thank you for the help and advice you were able to provide.
I don’t know whats going on but the cropping function is so slow it is non-existent, also the program keeps quitting and unable to open itself again so I have to restart my computer. Said this before and will again, very unimpressed with Yosemite and wish I had never upgraded.
Did you try restoring your prefs? http://bit.ly/Troubleshoot_PS
Am I understanding this correctly, Java will not work on the latest Apple upgrade (OS X Yosemite V 10.10.2? I have tried 3 times to update it on my iMac. Each time it says I was successful, only when I open up Photoshop, it tells me “To open “Adobe Photoshop CS%.1.app” you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime.” I follow the instruction and it still won’t open. Now what?? Help?
You need to install the specific Java runtime for Yosemite “Java for OS X 2014-001” from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572
Every time I am working with Photoshop CC (newest version) on my Macbook Pro (almost 1 year old) Yosemite 10.10.2 my whole Mac is freezing and I can’t do anything but start it new with the power switch. Please help!
A system hang or freeze requiring a computer restart usually means a low level failure such as a driver (video card driver, etc), failing/damage hard disk, damaged OS installation, or failing hardware (hard disk, video card, etc). May be time to run to an Apple Store to run some system/hardware diagnostics.
Just installed yosemite on my I-mac and now its causing photoshop cc to not fill the screen on my cintiq 12 wx, theres a small gap between the menu bar on the cintiq and photoshop and everytime i try to move it it jumps back to the original place.
I believe this is a bug on 10.10 with monitor arrangement/alignment. Try changing the alignment of the screen from either the tops of the screens aligned or the bottoms of the screens aligned in the OS X “System Preferences” for Displays.
Ah cheers Jeffrey really appreciate that.
I have a similar that was inquired about back in January 2015 where we are running Photoshop CS5.5 from the Design Standard Suite. When we attempt to save a Photoshop file to a Mac Mini Server that is running Yosemite 10.10.3 and Server OS X v4.1 that we all have administrative access to, we get the error “Could not save as “filename” because write access was not granted. Both Illustrator and InDesign (and all other apps) work fine. We can even reopen them and re-save the files. On the server I have done a permissions repair and restart of the machine. Mac clients (iMac and MacBook Pro’s) are all on Yosemite 10.10.3. This was working fine when the Server was running OS X 10.9.5 and OS X Server 3.2. The only recent change to the server has been the upgrade to Yosemite and the new Server software. Any updates on why this is happening?
Would sincerely appreciate some enlightenment on the issue of the shoe-lace bug and other bugs with Yosemite/Cintiq24hd/Photoshop
These are the current options for Yosemite + Photoshop in terms of brush line quality on Cintiq:
1) Photoshop CS5= Good:good line quality. Bugs: flickering cursor on corners of palettes, search engines also have flickering when window is above PS, PS crashes when color of frame is selected in full screen. (this is with all updates)
2) Photoshop CS6 without White window workaround= Good: good line quality. Bugs: delay when using zoom tool with Cintiq. Delays by other keys as well.
3) Photoshop CS6 with White window= Good: No more delay. Bugs: pressure sensitive lines end with shoelace effect where line does not taper off to minimum and instead awkwardly retains size for a distance.
4) Photoshop CC: same as Photoshop CS6
5) Photoshop CC2014 Smoothing on: White-window has been integrated into program resulting in poor line quality but zoom is smooth
6) Photoshop CC2014 Smoothing off;jagged curves which are horrible and rapid taper which is better than shoelace, but not great.
As you can see on Yosemite there is currently not a SINGLE bug free option for using Photoshop with a pressure sensitive Cintiq 24hd. According to friends things were not this way on Mavericks.
WhiteWindow plug-in is not necessary with CC 2014 and latest Yosemite updates.
“WhiteWindow plug-in is not necessary with CC 2014 and latest Yosemite updates.”
Thanks for your response.
I suspect Whitewindow has been integrated into the software itself because I see the effects of it on the shoe-lace bug.
Either way that is totally irrelevant to the main point.
As of now with latest Yosemite and Photoshop there is a shoe-lace effect bug when using a pressure sensitive screen such as a Wacom Cintiq 24hd (irrelevant of which wacom driver) The only way to ameliorate the bug somewhat is to turn off smoothing which causes segmented curves.
I was just bringing up the Whitewindow plug-in because in previous versions such as CS6 if you did not use the plug-in you would not have the shoe-lace bug in Yosemite. However you would have the other problems.
Here is the bottom line:
As of now there is NO WAY to draw a simple pressure sensitive straight line in Photoshop CC 2014/ Yosemite without an ugly shoe-lace effect at the tapered end of the line. I would consider that a significant problem. Do you know of any solution other than turning off “smoothing” which messes with the curves?
Also, as I pointed out, according to my colleagues this problem does not appear in Mavericks – only Yosemite with White Window plugin OR CC2014 with or without the plugin (which as you pointed out is not necessary for CC2014)
Still hoping for some enlightenment on the shoe-lace end stroke bug issue. Isn’t it noteworthy that Photoshop is incapable of making a decent pressure sensitive brush stroke in all it’s versions other than Cs5 on a Mac running Yosemite?
Why would it not be a high priority for a painting program to be incapable of its most basic function?
I would be extremely grateful for some acknowledgment regarding the shoe-lace bug issue in all versions of Photoshop CC.
There is simply no way to paint a line that has a consistent smooth tapered ending— unless you turn the “smoothing” off which results in jagged curves!
How could this not be a major issue that Photoshop is incapable of painting a smooth line?
Hi,
Im using Yosemite on a MacBook Pro and photoshop cs6 isn’t responding at all outside of the program.
I try to force quit and nothing happens, it seems to be completely frozen but everything else on my computer is working fine, I just can’t open or quit photoshop.
HELP PLEASE
Try these steps to fix most issues: http://bit.ly/Troubleshoot_PS
Controls for lighting effects in CS6 using a iMac (2013) and OS10.10 do not work
The controls for Filter/Render/lighting effects in CS6 do not work on a one-year old iMac running Yosemite. According to the many forums I have visited it maybe caused by 64b, which needs to be changed to 32b for the Photoshop app. Unfortunately when I do “File get info” the option that used to be there to check 32b is no longer available in Yosemite. I also made sure to changed image to 8bit – does not work
Opened in CS5 and installed legacy Java SE6. Image is 8bit, but still cannot see Filter/Render/Lighting effects using legacy Java. Please help. Thank you.
Lighting Effects requires a video card that has 512MB VRAM. It may help if we could see your Photoshop System Info. Directions for sharing your system info from Photoshop:
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/photoshop_how_do_i_share_my_system_information
This is the system info. I have also restarted in “safe mode”, but when I do this the lighting effects are grayed out.

Thank you, Jeff.
You have a ton of 3rd party plug-ins and panels (many of them older, potentially incompatible). I would disable your Plug-ins folder and reset your preferences.
Are there instructions on how to do this? I assume that I would do this to test the lighting effects and if they still don’t work there is a way to reinstate the plug ins? Thank you for your help.
Yup. Easiest way is to put a ~ in front of the plug-ins folder name (e.g. “~Plug-in”) and relaunch PS: http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2012/07/photoshop-basic-troubleshooting-steps-to-fix-most-issues.html#Plugins Take the ~ off the name and relaunch PS to have the plug-ins load again.
To restore prefs: http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2012/07/photoshop-basic-troubleshooting-steps-to-fix-most-issues.html#Preferences
So, to troubleshoot:
1. Disable 3rd party plug-ins
2. restore prefs
Run Photoshop and see if everything works normally.
After resetting the preferences, lighting effects are working fine. I disabled the 3rd party plugins, but they were not the problem. Thank you for your help!
Great. Thanks.
I’m having a terrible time with Photoshop CC on a brand new Retina 5k iMac. The 2.0 or above versions do not work. It says an unrecoverable error has occurred. I have reproduced this 3 times on s clean install of Yosemite with NOTHING else installed. The only version that works is 1.0 and 1.1. Does not do this on my MacBook also with Yosemite.
One time I got it to run. I restarted the computer and same error…
Unfortunately uninstalling, removing preferences, and running cleaner did not fix it
Once that error pops up.I have to erase the hard drive and do.a clean install of Yosemite. I think it may be related to the app store. Updating anything screws up Photoshop CC permanently
Extremely frustrating.
Also don’t ever install java on. Yosemite if you hope to run Dreamweaver CC. On one of my many system installs I followed advice to install java first. DW would not open. Again uninstalling java and reinstalling DW did not fix. Had to wipe the system.
I’m not seeing a membership under the Adobe ID email you’ve used to post here. Is it possible it’s under a different email address?
i have some problem with photoshop cc 2014.2 and Yosemite.
I’m trying to open a file video but PS crashes every single time.
Do you have a membership? Did you install from Adobe.com or another site?
I recently installed Mac OS 10.10.3 on my iMac, installed the newest Driver for my Epson 3800 printer, and then downloaded & installed Photoshop CC v. 14.2.1.
Photoshop CC itself works perfectly well. When I try to print from Photoshop, however, I get a dialog box saying, “There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents”. After that happens, the printing options in the Photoshop menu are dimmed out until I close and reopen the program.
I have tried everything, from simply restarting Photoshop, to turning the Mac off and restarting, to reinstalling the newest Epson Driver, and a dozen variants of the preceding. Nothing works — I still get that same dialog box response each time.
Curiously, I can still print perfectly well from my copy of Photoshop CS4, as well as from Adobe Acrobat, and from every other program in my computer. Photoshop CC is the ONLY program on my computer that fails.
Why?
The 3800 is an ancient printer and wasn’t designed to work with modern OSes, print API, etc.
Did it work properly prior to upgrading to Yosemite? I don’t recommend that customers upgrade to Yosemite without doing testing to ensure that it will work for their needs with their current hardware and drivers.
If it’s not obvious, you should never upgrade your critical production environment before testing. Always use a separate partition or drive.
Also, see this document from Apple on troubleshooting printing on OS X: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201539
After leaving your site yesterday, I found a thoroughly wonderful video made by Juliane Kost (also on the Adobe site) that explained how to reset Photoshop’s Prefs file — and that solved the problem! In other words, the underlying source of the printing problem traced back to ADOBE, not to Epson or Apple.
So before you dump on everyone else as the source of a problem, perhaps you should first look closer to home for a solution. If I were to follow your directions, I would spend endless hours setting up partitions, running tests, and perhaps spending a thousand dollars on a new printer — and still would have been no closer to resolving the actual problem.
Restoring prefs (and the video that Julieanne made was by my request) is part of our basic troubleshooting steps: http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2012/07/photoshop-basic-troubleshooting-steps-to-fix-most-issues.html You said you tried everything, so I moved onto other solutions. Sorry for trying to help…
With IOS 10.10.3 and Lightroom CC, I was unable to import photos from Aperture. I spent several hours with Adobe help trying to accomplish this. Is there a fix in the future. Since Aperture in longer being supported, I would like to migrate to Lightroom.
How big is your Aperture library?
Hi,
Im running on Yosemite 10.10.3 and I am unable to download CS2 program. Is this because the system Im on is too new for the old CS2 program or is there a way around it? Any input would be kindly appreciated! Basically I just want to brush up my skills for a while on illustrator before I go ahead and purchase. Thanks.
CS2 will not run at all on in Yosemite.
I am going to buy an iMac, I have a photoshop for Windows. Do I need to buy another program for my new computer?
You would either need to swap your Windows for Mac: http://adobe.ly/PlatformSwap Or get the CC version which gives you a cross-platform license for both Mac and Win: https://creative.adobe.com/plans/photography
Hi,
I use new imac retina 5k (i5, 24gb ram, AMD Radeon R9 M290 ) and still encounter some lag issues in CS6/CC2015. Painting is a bit laggy . ctrl + z will be delayed.
Help!
This is a very long thread, tried my best to go through it all, have not seen my issue yet.
I just upgraded to Yosemite, I have Photoshop CS6.
When using the spot healing brush, it shares my selection like always, but then I does not just perform the healing and go away like it used to. The shaded part stays there until I click with the brush somewhere else…
Anyone else having this issue or know of a solution?
Is your Photoshop up to date?
I bought a new MBP with Yosemite 10.10.4 and cannot get PS4 to open. The error message says that Licensing has stopped working
Error 150:30
I have the original CD and serial number and I really want to get it working. I don’t have time right now to learn a new version of photoshop. Any help getting it working is much appreciated.

Usually a reinstall will fix the licensing file that was damaged by the OS update.
Ok, I had that link before. What was really tripping me up was that after I found the library folder, there was no flexnet publisher to delete. Then when I went to step 2, I kept trying to open the license recovery launcher by double clicking on it rather than doing it through the terminal screen (it won’t let you open it this way saying that “Power PC apps are no longer supported”). For anyone else trying to do the fix, first open the terminal screen. Once I opened the terminal window and typed sudo python (and yes, I confirmed you actually need the space after it for it to work), I had to drag LicenseRecover.py, not LicenseRecoveryLauncher to the terminal window and then after following the directions…..it worked!!!!! Thank you so much. I have been working on this for almost two weeks and it seems to be finally working. Two thumbs up!!!
New guy here. Having the same License issue. Tried the drag-drop of the python script but get a SyntaxError. Not a heavy-duty user so might have missed an assumed step? Any updates on the method for Yosemite that doesn’t include a re-install?
Running the installer is probably the easiest way to correct the licensing issue.
Hi,
I have Photoshop CS6 and I’ve just installed Yosemite. Since that, my toggle dialogue on/off in action doesn’t work. But when I run my action in CS5, it’s working. Just to precise, I create my action in CS6.
Is there a solution for that?
TY
I’ve never heard that issue. Have you tried restoring your prefs to see if the problem goes away?
Hello Jeffrey,
I installed Yosemite last August and am running the latest version of CS6 (13.0.6). The only issue that I noticed was a very slow boot time for CS6 which I asked your advice on how to rectify it. I followed all the steps (Preferences, Plug-ins check etc.) but no change. Now I’m getting the following dialogue box when I boot CS6, but even with this, all the functionality of CS6 is intact with no problems processing any image. The only software change that I’ve made on my system that is coincident with the appearance of this warning was an update to the latest version of Java. I would presume that that is indeed just a coincidence.
“One or more files in the Adobe Application Support folder, necessary for running Photoshop, are missing. Please run the Photoshop installer and re-install Photoshop.”
Any thoughts/suggestions? Thanks for helping!
Regards,
Gerald
I would run the CS6 installer over itself to repair the installation.
Jeffrey,
p.s. I also removed the Adobe Flash Player as per the removal instructions posted by Adobe.
Hello Jeffrey,
Thanks for your help! Does a reinstall reset preferences, workspaces, custom keystrokes? Is there any effect on plug-ins or any other aspect of CS6 that I would have to redo to bring to it my current operational set-up? I ask this simply because the hassle of a reinstall might not be worth it given that the image processing funtionality is unimpaired. I appreciate your counsel!
Regards,
Gerald
Does photoshop cc for Mac require Java?
I am debating subscribing to Photoshop CC for my Mac which does not have Java installed. Is it necessary to install Java in order to install and/or run Photoshop CC? I have the same question regarding Flash, which is also not installed on my Mac.
No. Photoshop CC does not require Java.
Jeffrey,
Thanks for your quick response.
Stuart.
Dear Jeffrey,
really seams so, that you are the profi here :-). fine, hope you can give me best advice:
I am using OS X 10.7.5 and want to update to yosemite 10.10.
very important: using indesign CS 5.5., Photoshop CS 5 and Illustrator CS 5.1.
Can I use all three after installing yosemite further?
Or there will be some greater problems?
Thanxs for your answer before!
CORA
Photoshop CS5 should run fine. Not sure about Illustrator or InDesign. Note: CS5 wasn’t designed nor extensively tested to run on this new OS. I don’t recommend that customers upgrade to a new OS without doing their own testing to ensure that it will work for their needs with their current hardware and drivers.
If it’s not obvious, you should never upgrade your critical production environment before testing. Always use a separate partition or drive.
I also recommend that you do a clean install of the OS and your software. I often see issues introduced via upgrade and with user migration assistant. (like this one and other permissions related issue)
