CANNOT OPEN A FILE BECAUSE THE DISK IS NOT AVAILABLE

Any thoughts?  I can't open the program.

I have a mac pro with four discs who thought that I just finished a successful legit academic version, installation previously used by myself only.  Production Premium CS5.

  • 'Cannot open file because the disk is not available' Mac

    I recently changed the selection of Photoshop (CS6) Scratch disk to the boot drive by default to one of the other internal drives in my MacPro (OS 10.6.8).

    When I restart Photoshop (CS6) I get the message:

    "Cannot open file because the disk is not available"

    and Photoshop will not start.

    I then restart Photoshop with 'Control - alt - shift' keys

    (suggestion to <http://forums.adobe.com/message/3937003>)

    and reset preferences that allows Photoshop to return.

    (Reset preferences returned the boot drive to drive work status.)

    I have an another MacPro, the - same 10.6.8 OS and Adobe CS6 - and I don't have this problem of allocation of work disk.

    What happens with a MacPro which prevents me from selecting one drive other than the boot drive working Photoshop

    Probably a permission problem.  Run the Apple disk utility to repair permissions.  If this does not work the glance to the non bootable drive and check "Ignore permissions..."  Open the window Info Finder and it came inside.

  • Elements 9 does not open "because the disk is not available.

    Hi all

    I have PSE 9 on my Mac for 18 months without any problem.

    Recently, I upgraded the boot to a larger drive that the original was running out of space. I used a standard drive, cloning tool, and all was well.

    Except... PSE now says he "cannot open file because the disk is not available" follow-up by "cannot initialize because the disk is not available.

    I uninstalled PSE and downloaded a new copy, perhaps thinking that the original has been somewhat altered by cloning. Always does the same thing.

    I have repaired permissions and restarted but still does the same thing.

    Frankly I'm perplexed.

    Anyone got any ideas? It does not even tell which disc he thinks is not available!

    Then, the conflict is with something in your user account and find what could be a lengthy process. Try to restart once more the Editor while pressing command-shift-option, keeping the keys down until you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do. This almost always solves this problem; I don't know why it is not to help you. Using 10.7?

  • "Could not initialize Photoshop because the disk is not available."?

    I've been happily turn Photoshop CS (1) on my Powermac MDD for years.

    But today, she is facing upward.  Here's the problem: I get the error message "could not initialize Photoshop because the disk is not available."

    I have studied this problem and see that it's been covered in the thread:
    http://forums.Adobe.com/thread/370672?start=0 & tstart = 0

    So I trashed preferences and the SFW prefs also.
    Now Photoshop starts... BUT as soon as I go into the preferences and assign a scratch disk, he failed once more to throw with the same error: "could not initialize Photoshop because the disk is not available."

    I tried to slide on the copies of the utility Photoshop of my backup disk files... but the same strange behavior persists.

    My Scratch disk is on a second internal hard drive.

    This all started when I had to restart from OS 9 order to use my SCSI scanner, which only has an OS9 driver.
    I used it for years with no problem... until today.

    Was it because once I saved the file in Photoshop 4 and OS9 on an OSX file that somehow the preferences got screwed up?

  • Windows Photo Viewer cannot open this file because the file seems to be corrupted, damaged or too big.

    I am on Windows 7 and using Photo Viewer to watch 5 tiff files. I can open all tiff files in photoshop or psp, but not in photoviewer. Here, I can open only 2 smaller files. Is there a limit of size on the photo viewer (it seems). The files that I can not open are 1.45

    Hello
     
    a. like you said that the size of file that 1.45, could you give the exact size in MB, GB or KB?
    b. Since the photoviewer is used to display basic tiff files, if the file contains additional metadata information that can not be played on photoviewer it could give you the error message.
    1 copy these pictures on another computer in Windows 7 and check if the files open.
    2. you can also try to change the file format and check if it converts in this format and it opens correctly.
    You can see the following article on changing the file format.
    I hope this helps.
