Any know how to help with PS Elements ERROR Cannot complete your request because of a program error?

I just opened PhotoShop Elements 12 and tried saving a file and keep getting the ERROR: Cannot complete your request because of a program error. I cannot save a single file One person said hold SHIFT key while PS was loading and Click Yes about the 3rd party plugins. This did NOT solve the issue. Please any help would be much appreciated!

That's a well known bug on MacOS 10.10. Apple is aware of it, and working on a solution.

Opening psd file in Photoshop coming up with "could not complete your request because of a program error"

I spent roughly 6 hours on a (motion) project in Photoshop, saved as psd, and now every time I try to open it, it comes up with "could not complete your request because of a program error". This really annoys me, for one, it DOESN'T TELL ME WHAT ERROR! How can I get help from Adobe if they have no clue what error it is?
I'm running windows 8.1 64 bit
I'm using Adobe Creative Cloud
I've tried everything people say to do, but nobody else but me seems to be using Photoshop for video editing. I really need this video.

Does anyone have any other ideas as this is very frustrating.
Thanks,
James

Problem with FX (CS6) "Could not complete your request due to a program error."

This only happened after I got the master collection. FX effects in Photoshop CS6 do not work, at all. Attempting to use any of them result in the above quoted "Could not complete your request due to a program error."
I've trashed the prefs, uninstalled/reinstalled, updated drivers, REFORMATTED MY HARD DRIVE, contacted customer support, and about every other troubleshoot short of sacraficing a goat. No cigar.
Error log gives me the following:
" ..\..\sources\UPattern.cpp : 1670 : REQUIRE failed"
Same error, every time.
Windows 7, 64x
16gb DDR3
AMD FX(tm)-4100 Quad-Core Processor [3.61 GHz]
AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series
Not running this 'Suitcase' thing. At a complete loss.

Removing the whole folder worked, which, is good enough for me. I think what happened was a finaggle with the install, as I already had PS installed when I overlayed the master collection on top of it, still doesn't explain it not working after the reformat, might have been linked to my backup/scratch disk in some fashion and broke it. I'm not quite sure how the problem persisted.
Don't install ps over ps, I guess ^^
Aha, it was Prefs.
Thank you! Greatly, been sitting on this problem for months now, no ammount of Googling would help. I can finally go back to work (that I've been sitting on this whole time).

Does Save As-work?
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated?
As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by keeping command-alt-shift pressed on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html
Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)
If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.

Photoshop elements editor Could not complete your request because fo a program error

I am running PSE 8.0. On some of my photos I cannot save the image.
Even if I do no editing on the photo and just do a "save as" in a completely
different folder I get the error message Could not complete your request
because of a program error.
I have set the RAM preferences to 1100MB and the history states to 20.
What is the program error?
Looking at the discussion forum, this problem has been there since 2007.
Doesn't Adobe fix its software?

I would suggest you to reset the preferences file of photoshop elements and then try. Follow these steps
1. Close Elements.
2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.

I can not open folders from my documents. it closes with notice Could not complete your request because of a program error.

…photoshop need a recovery or auto save system.
tworules,
You haven't mentioned the exact version of Photoshop you are running. As the always helpful and knowledgeable JJMack told you, new versions of Photoshop do have auto save and recovery when enabled in your Photoshop Preferences.
However, no auto recovery and/or autosave is a match for a defective machine. As suggested by Mr. Cox, you should do a thorough inspection of all your hardware ASAP.

After Installation of Photoshop 7.0.1 on the first look everyting was fine.
But after some time i tryed to use the selection tool and after that the paint bucket.
This worked one or two times then Photoshop stopped with the screen:
"Could not complete your request because of a programm error"
I tryed tu use the compatibility mode for XP SP3 and XP SP2.
The same error appears.
What can i do?
Best regards
Rheintrutz

Got a 1 Tb Harddisk - but this Harddrive works on xp and PS7 before.
But this seems not to be the problem.
I coppied the .psd Files to the 250 Gb large System Disk C.
Then i tried to work from there.
Unfortunately the same problem...

CR2 files from which Canon camera?
Supported cameras are listed here
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras

How do i fix this, i have only been using Photoshop elements 11 on my computer, now it's saying ' could not complete your request because file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements' BUT I HAVE ONLY BEEN USING THIS PHOTOSHOP.

Photoshop Elements 11
Only Been using it
saying ' could not complete your request because file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements'
What do i do

Which operating system are you running on?
Do you get this error when loading or using the organizer or the editor?
What are you trying to do when you get this error?
If you are using raw files, which camera (make and model) do you use to create the raw files?
If you can load the editor, which version of camera raw do you have loaded? - see Help -> about Plug-in -> Camera raw

CS5 RAW Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information.

I rented a Nikon D600 & D610 and CS5 cannot open the RAW files, i do not have any issued with my D700 RAW files. I am getting this error message -
Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw.
Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information.
Can anyone please help?

Sorry, I am on a MAC. I downloaded the link you provided and it's giving the same error message as above. Running CS5.
The error message you gave is from Camera Raw. I thought you said that DNG Converter didn't work?
The link I gave you is an article on getting your raw files to open in Camera Raw. Did you read it? I lazily gave you the link because this is one of the most common problems in this forum, and I get tired of saying the same thing over and over again. I could break it down for your specific case, but I was hoping you could read through the article and work it out for yourself.
But, here goes:
Your cameras are newer than your raw converter, so it won't understand them.
CS5 comes with Camera Raw 6, which can only be upgraded as far as 6.7.1. You can find out which version of Camera Raw you are running in three ways: in the settings title bar (Cmd-K), in the plug-in title bar (press F to start/stop full-screen mode to reveal the title bar), or Photoshop's Help menu (About Plug-ins).
Downloading raw files from newer Nikon cameras with old versions of Nikon Transfer will actually make them unreadable in Adobe software. They can be fixed with a free utility. Again, it's all in the linked article. You should be using up-to-date Nikon Transfer, or Adobe Photodownloader to avoid this problem.
All being well, you have good raw files on your computer. You can convert them to dng using Adobe DNG Converter. IF you are on OSX Leopard or Snow Leopard, you CAN'T use the latest version, because Adobe stopped support. But, if you ARE on a later OSX, you can download DNG Converter 8.6.
DNG Converter is designed to convert FOLDERS of raw files at a time. You select a folder of raw files, and tell it to create DNG copies. BUT, you have to set up the converter before you start using it...
If you load up DNG Converter, you'll notice a button labelled "Change Preferences". Clicking this, you'll see the first option is "Compatibility". Here, you must select the appropriate setting for the version of Camera Raw you HAVE (see above). If you can't work this out, just pick "Camera Raw 5.4 and later". THEN pick a folder of raw files and convert them to DNGs.
All the above is already in the article, but I gave you a personalised response. If you still can't get it to work, please give us more than one sentence. Tell us exactly what you tried, and describe exactly what happened. Which version of OSX you're running, what device and software you downloaded your raw files with, how you used DNG Converter, and so on.
I really should be in bed.

Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photosho

I just tried to open a file that I had saved last night and I got the message:
"Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop."
Normally I would just chalk it up to a corrupt file and redo the project but I've had this happen to me 5 or 6 times in the past two weeks. I dont know what to do!
Things I've tried that haven't work:
Opening in ImageReady and Gimp, changing file extention to .tiff, dropping into photoshop as smart object, opening in Illustrator, re-installing photoshop, deleting old actions/plug-ins that might glitch up the system.
I just started a new job and I'm working on a 2.5GHz Mac Mini (OSX ver. 10.7.4) with Photoshop CS6 (16-bit).
I am NOT saving over a server or anything like that.
I did NOT close photoshop too quickly last night.
I do NOT have any Nortan Anti-virus anything.
I've spend hours reading up on this and every fix that I've found doesn't work.
I've been using photoshop for YEARS and I've NEVER had this problem before.
Please HELP!

There is a problem with the latest update, Mac, and saving a PSD file. Apparently it may not open in CS6, but will open in other versions. They are working on patch.

I have an existing disk of elements 3 which I loaded onto my Mac desktop. When loading onto my Mac book, I receive a "could not complete your request because of missing or invalid personalization information". Why?

I have loaded elements 3, from disk, on my mac desktop, when loading onto my macbook i get a message "could not complete your request because of missing or invalid personalization information". Why?

Thank you for your fast reply!
Sorry, I am not savvy enough to know what a serial is! Guess that means stealing it. No, that is not me.
Hmm...
I thought sure it was free with the computer, along with a whole package of other stuff. It was a sale/special. Everything else still works, except the Photoshop. I bought the Mac new at the Mac store in Marin County...
Maybe it came with the printer I bought too...? Who knows now.
The computer is several years old (copyright 1983) and I had money then! LOL! It's the economy, my dear!
Do not understand 'software'... I just use the computer. I told you I am a technophobe!
You must be young: I am very old, and did not grow up with computers.
But now from your reply, I think it must have been a free sample, or whatever... or I am confused!
I have IPhoto... that must be what came free with the Mac. But it doesn't work either. I get a message: need to upgrade, but then it says it is not responding...
Anyway, thanks again!
P.S. As I said, I had everything stolen, and do not have any registration info.
But I appreciate your reply.

Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop

Hello,
I'm a beginner in PS. I was edit TIFF file in PS. Size of file is 21x89.1(22.6 MB). Then suddenly power - cuted. But after 5 min turn on PC and PS can't open my TIFF file.
Error is (could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop)
What should I do, how I open this TIFF file? I realy need to open this file?
Please help me...
Regards, Suvd.S

Out of curiosity, were you actually saving the file at the moment the power cut off, or had you just saved it?
If not, I don't understand the reason the file should have become corrupted. If it was successfully saved on disk from the prior save operation, just shutting off the power on Photoshop would lose your current edits, but the file should still be intact.
