Photoshop CS3 disk error?

All of a sudden I can't open Photoshop CS3 or the work associated with it - window message: an unexpected and recoverable problem occurred because of a disk error. Photoshop will now stop.

Help!

I'm on Tiger, never had this problem before.

Linda

Most likely, there is a serious problem with your drive.

Furthermore, I believe that the message says: 'unrecoverable problem' - so bad that Photoshop can not continue.

You must make a backup as soon as POSSIBLE and check the drive for errors.

  • Photoshop Scratch Disk Error OSX Lion 10.7.3

    I got Photoshop CS5 installed on my system for over a year, and it worked fine all this time under Snow Leopard. Now that I've updated for Lion, Photoshop does not open because of these messages:

    Cannot open a file because the disk is not available.

    Could not initialize Photoshop because the disk is not available.

    The disk in question is a 80 GB of a 1 TB internal hard drive partition. If I delete the preferences file (pressing cmd-shift-opt when PS is started) then it starts very well. If I go into preferences and reset to use the scratch disk, then next time I try to open the program I get the same 2 error messages and I have to give up the preferences again.

    There is nothing wrong with the disks, I checked the. And anyway, I use this drive work with Photoshop for the last year with no problems. It was only after I switched to Lion that he began to arrive.

    I need to take advantage of the increase in performance that offers a scratch disk. Anyone have any ideas on what is happening or how to fix this?

    Chris,

    Thank you for responding. I think you're onto something. I looked in the disk utility to see if I could fix the permissions on the volume to zero, as suggested Lundberg, however the option to do so was intoxicated because of this message: ' not available because the selected disc is set on ignore permissions. So I went to the score, shot to the top of the box to get the information and saw that the "Ignore ownership on this Volume" checkbox is unchecked . I checked to see what would happen, and that is always dimmed in disk utility to repair permissions, now Photoshop starts perfectly, even with the scratch partition defined as Photoshop Scratch drive problem.

    It's the wrong way to do the correct answer?

    Regarding your other suggestions, I was able to go on record to reach the record partnership, and I saw that he said I could read only. I could add my user account and give him permission to read/write through the dialog box get information (I'm afraid Terminal unless I have clear instructions). I want? I also looked in the /volumes folder and there is apparently nothing that it contains, unless folders are hidden I guess. I checked the permissions of my primary drive (boot drive, on which all my applications reside) and they claim that I have read/write privileges. However I'm just viewing it in the box to read the information. is not the right place to see/change? Because all this time the partition scratch claimed also that I have read/write permissions and who was obviously not true, as alone, he started to work right after I checked "ignore ownership on this Volume". But it is incredibly confusing because I was able to Save files on the Photoshop scratch disk. I couldn't just pick as a scratch disk.

    The question is: is it ok that I simply chose to ignore permissions on these discs and I messed with the partnership, file, or should I do something else?

    In previous decisions, the problem has been a file missing that the required printer driver or a permissions problem.

  • In Photoshop CS3 sPSActionDescriptor-> Make (& desc1) error

    Hello

    In Photoshop CS3

    "sPSActionDescriptor-> Make (& desc1)" returns null and code execution breaks while same source works for CS5 and CS6.

    Please help me to resolve this issue.

    Thank you.

    What version of the SDK are you using? My guess is that you use CS6 or previous SDK and the version number of this suite is more recent and CS3 does not expose the version of the suite you want.

    Try changing the version of sPSActoinDescriptor to use kPSActionDescriptorSuitePrevVersion. Make sure you check for NULL for all functions before you use them. If I remember correctly that only PutInteger64 and GetInteger64 routines are for the version 3. You can also add in two versions of the sPSActoinDescriptor and try to acquire the new version and if this fails, try to acquire the old version.

    If this does not work you can try using the CS3 SDK.

Maybe you are looking for
