Photoshop CS5 for Mac.  Is no longer able to open the program after reinstalling on MacBook Pro.  Download the message «end of file unexpected met»  Then get "failed to initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been removed)." 

Someone at - it advice on how to open Photoshop CS5 for Mac.  Is no longer able to open the program.  Just get the emblem of blue PS and the message "unable to load actions because an end of life unexpected has been met.  Could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted). "I tried to reinstall the program from the original disc.  Is this a problem with the operating system?  Thanks for any idea.

Now try control-alt-shift key (Ctrl-alt-shift on Windows) and start Photoshop. An option button will open and opt for delete the settings file - see if that helps any.

  • How can I move bookmarks to new Mac when the synchronization page says "this module has been removed by its author"?

    I tried to move the favorites by creating a synchronization profile, but he gave me the message "add-on has been removed by its author" and I don't know what that means. Within the forum, I found a message stating I can do by the first update for Firefox 9 or something, but my current OS is stuck with the version of Firefox 3.6.26 and will not be upgraded further until I update my OS on my newer computer.

  • Why the Flash button to insert feature has been removed in CS4?

    I do my first website, and I was eager to use the flash, I had experienced with them in an earlier version, but this option has been removed! I was wondering why, and whether it has other options to make animated buttons? (not the rollover buttons, they're boring! ) )

    Adobe removed the buttons Flash CS4 for web accessibility reasons.  They are not friendly to search engines, translators, screen readers or people who do not have Flash enabled in their web browser.  It would be wise to steer clear of navigation flash for all of these reasons and use menus CSS style instead.

    In all recent versions of firefox (that I remember), I was able to type in any word in the address bar and it would take me to what was usually the first result of google, now it takes me just a google search.
    For example, I could type in "Wikipedia" and it would take me the wikipedia House directly, now it takes me to a google search the word "wikipedia".

  • Why the feature "I m Feeling Lucky" has been removed from the Firefox awesomebar in all versions after version 3.6?

    Firefox 3.6, when I type something specific, like "wikipedia steve jobs" in the url bar, I am taken directly to the page of Wikipedia for Steve Jobs, and if I type something less specific, I am taken to a results page of Google search for what I typed in the bar (unless it was a URL, of course). in the current version of Firefox, however, I am taken to a page of Google search results for whatever I type in (again, not a URL, of course), even if the page I'm looking for is obvious - how I can avoid this extra step and find the functionality of Firefox 3.6 "I'm Feeling Lucky"?

  • Why the wheel of favorites to friends has been removed in ios3 in update? How to send a message unless someone has already sent me a message?

    So, I was excited by the new OS3 for Apple Watch update and I have now downloaded and installed. Only to find one of the features I've used a lot seems to have disappeared forever. The wheel of 12 favorite contacts friends went completel, the problem is that I used this a lot to launch messages quickly when I'm stuck in a meeting.

    Workaround for this problem seems to be to open messages and find a message from the person you want to contact, but what happens if they don't have not sent you a message? How would be feasible send their text or digital touch? The only application of contacts part of the phone app and it only allows me to call.

    Maybe that is not something that many people used but I did and I'm upset his party. There is no need to be attached to a button, but you could keep it as an application that I could add to my dock. Now I feel I lost the update functionality to the last update.

    Hi bokononist,.

    I suggest you go to your network card making and download / install the latest drivers.  I suggest that you check your system for corrupted files.  You use the tool (SFC.exe) System File Checker to check and repair corrupt system files.  To do this, follow these steps:

      1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

    2. type the following command and press ENTER:

    sfc/scannow

    The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

  • the ibm product recovery feature has been removed from this system

    I have a thinkpad R51, and recently, I decided to reset to the factory settings. However, I also had installed linux and when I tried this it has failed and to restart, there was a grub error. As I was doing before, I put a CD in XP randomly and did a fixmbr, but this time, when I tried to restart the entire disk had disappeared. So now, windows no longer existed. Then I installed linux again and followed the instructions here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Rescue_and_Recovery to allow grub to access the partition rescue and recovery and tried again.

    However, this time when I click on the "content of factory restore", all I get is a saying "the recovery of product feature ibm has been removed from this system"

    Is it still possible to reset this top of the Tower, or I have to install my own OS as if he is not a thinkpad?

    Thank you

    Whenever you close Illy, the current preferences (which may have been changed while you worked on files) are recorded, and every time that you start Illy, these preferences will be used.

    Usually, corruption of preference probably appears randomly, caused by the operating system, but if something in your files to change preferences to something that is not viable, you will get an error like this.

    You can press Cmd + Option + shift during startup, which will replace the current preferences with the default values, and no doubt you you get rid of the error message. It is probably not a cure, however.

    If the error is persistent, the cure would be to get rid of things that are implicated in the files you are editing.
