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?

'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.

Downloaded Camera Raw plugin 9.1, but 13 elements still does not allow me to open the raw files from Nikon D750. Why?
Did you install that you downloaded?

I installed the 12 elements, it does not open, a screen will appear with the options e-12 and 4 other languages. When I click on 12 items, a screen will appear with a red install icon, I click and it askes for the serial number. It won't let me type in letters digits only. Already, I have the serial number once. How to make this work? I don't want to be a programmer!

The operation did not complete because the disk management console view is not updated.
Disk title management error: Windows 7 original by adding a drive letter
Well, I don't know why this is happening, but if I try to add a disk to my windows system, it will not automatically add a drive letter, but it will add a drive letter to my USB and USB external drives without problem. It's just when I plug it in sata he's going all wobbly. I see the HARD internal disk in disk as a disk, but windows disk management Refuses anyway shape to add a drive letter, even with diskpart automount enabled. This is the error I get when I try:"The operation failed to complete because the disk management console view is not updated. Refresh the view by using the refresh task. If the problem persists close the disk management console, then restart disk management or restart the computer. »
Absolutely nothing works. I tried Diskpart, acronis, AOMEI, EausUS, chkdsk, sfc/scannow, Microsoft fixit. Nothing works to get the drive Manager to add a drive letter to an internal HARD disk. Like I said, sticks and USB drives are no problem. I looked all over Google and I have not seen one solution to this problem short of a total erase and start again, and at this point, I'm not be done with everything I installed and might have to reinstall.
I have other systems that do not have this problem. Just this one windows 7 install x 64. Can anyone shed some light on why this happens and how to fix it or if there is even a fix for it.
Thank you
Methadras
Just to follow and finish this, the old MAIN drive has had some problems and was
continues to worsen, it ends up by crashed. scannow revealed some Windows system
Files were corrupted and could not be repaired. After the crash, I used the blank hard disc 500 gig
and did a restore of the system since the disks created with the purchase and restored the system to
"DAY 1". Yes all the data and installed programs are missing, but I reinstalled my software.
Adding external or internal disks worked without any problem now.
I created a Windows 7/64 system repair disc.
I created an Image of the system.
I have a backup plan.
I do the scheduled backup.
I learned a lesson...

How can I convert .ai files in jpeg format? It seems that I am only able to get the .ai files and my Adobe Photo Elements program does not recognize the file.
I want to continue my membership with Adobe, however, not if it requires some additional software purchase.
For .ai files, you will need to use or know someone who uses Illustrator or another program compatible .ai to convert. If you access a page of image details before license you can see the file type.

If you could help me out, that would be great!

"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 = 0So 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?
Popular clues...

work drive must be HFS +.
also check the permissions of the property in the Infolog to get for the reader scratching. You may need to ignore permissions for this volume.

I read up on the subject and found that I have to re size a partition. Anyone know what it could be? I can't find anything that looks like it has something to do with VMware. Does anyone know what size and what file system is it?
