error could not complete because it is not the right kind of document please help!!!

I recently upgraded my system I am now having an issue when trying to open cs6 files it gives me the the error could not complete because it is not the right kind of document. I tried closing and reopening the program rebooting my computer and updating both my AI and PS as well as trying multiple file types. I have never had this issue before any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi 11rplace
Please confirm the type or format of file you are trying to open and with which adobe application you are trying it.
Screenshot of the problem would be great help.

Trying to import video"Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document"

When I try to import a video into Photoshop CS6 I get the error: "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document".
I have tried multiple formats with no luck.
I was able to improt it into Photoshop CS5 by dragging and dropping.
Im using Photoshop CS 6 64bit, have tried 32bit with no luck
If I try to drag and drop it, I get this error: could not place the document. Because no parser or file format can open the file.
I have tried opening a .mov, and a .avi file. I thought it might be a codec thing but why can cs5 open it but not cs6?
I noticed other posts with the same issue but they did not get resolved. Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Josh

Vurgano, Powelly 100, and izzysanime,
Has the issue been resloved?
If so, how was it resolved?
I see Yesughei and Powelly are on Win7.
Izzysanime, which Win OS are you using?
Vurgano, what platform/OS are you using?
We are still investigating this issue and would appreciate your assistance.
To rule out problems with the files you have, could you please verify the Photoshop CS5 sample file "CheeziPuffs.mov" will also not work? (program files\adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\samples)
Also would you please verify the following:
Virus/security/parental control software hasn't trapped parts of Photoshop, Bridge, Premiere, Lightroom, or any Adobe app using DynamicLinkMediaServer. (Make sure the Adobe apps are added as exceptions if needed.)
Ensure you have the latest version of QuickTime
Close all Adobe applications - wait more than 30 seconds, then launch Photoshop and try to open the file.
- If unsuccessful, view Task Manager/Processes to verify necessary processes started up when importing video (dynamiclinkmanager.exe, dynamiclinkmediaserver.exe and Adobe QT32 Server.exe)
- If unsuccessful, please capture the full error message text.
4. Close all Adobe apps, wait 30 seconds - launch Bridge and try to open the file.
If everyone is on Win 7, it makes me wonder about permissions...

"Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document" Why not?

When I attempt to open a Canon .CR2 image in CS3, I get the following error: "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document" What is the source for this problem?

What camera do you have?
Before you resign yourself to using the free DNG converter, which adds a step to the process each time you want to open raw files, you might want to double check to see if you have installed the latest Camera Raw update, and whether that version actually handles your camera.
Check your version by choosing Help - About Plug-in... - Camera Raw in Photoshop. 4.6 is the latest for Photoshop CS3.
Check the list of supported cameras in the ReadMe file for Camera Raw 4.6 (the latest version that will install with Photoshop CS3) here:
http://www.adobe.com/special/photoshop/camera_raw/Camera_Raw_4.6_ReadMe.pdf
At the root of all this is that every different camera makes a slightly different format .cr2 file, even though they're all named .cr2. If your camera was designed/released after the last update of Camera Raw for CS3 was made (i.e., when PS CS4 was first released), then it will not be supported by that version of Camera Raw. Adobe stops adding new camera support to each version of Photoshop when the next major release goes out. If you find yourself in this situation, then the DNG converter, as Silkrooster has said, is what you'll want to use.

Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.

This problem has been re-occuring for a day now, and I honestly have no clue why, I followed the directions. I updated my camera raw plugin, and photoshop to the lastest version. I am trying to open an avi file but it won't open it. About 4 seconds long. Usually I could but yesterday when I tried opening it, it says "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." Any suggestions because I'm trying to make gifs but I can't because photoshop won't let me open the avi. file.

Thanks, but I have a 64-bit pc, I do have photoshop cs5 64 and 32 bit but it's only avaiblable for 32 bit, i'll use it for now but if anyone has a solution for 64 bit photoshop it'd be great.

When I try to open a file in photoshop CS, Elements or Lightroom I get the message "Could not complete request because it is not the right kind of document" This just started happening today.

When I try to open a file in photoshop CS, Elements or Lightroom I get the message "Could not complete request because it is not the right kind of document" This just started happening today. The only thing I have done differently is change my file handling to raw + jpeg on my Nikon 7100.

I downloaded camera raw 8.7 and I am now able to open my raw and jpeg files. Thanks

Problems installing plug-ins (and even Adobe updates) to Photoshop CS5 Extended on a new Win7 64-bit laptop.Instead, a message box pops up on the CS5 screen saying "could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document."

Problems installing plug-ins to Photoshop CS5 Extended on a new Win7 64-bit laptop. (Same CS5 and plug-ins installed OK several years ago on a Vista laptop. Now I'm just trying to migrate everything over to the new laptop.) Even some Adobe updates won't install. Instead, a message box pops up on the CS5 screen saying "could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." Any solution?

CS5's automatic update mechanism is broken, perhaps because it is no longer updated and can't cope with the newer ways of updating.
So this means you will have make a list of the updates that failed, go here: Product updates
and manually download/install from there.

I cant updated Camera Raw to accommodate my Canon 550D Raw images on CS4 - its saying "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document" HELP!!!

Ive tried downloading the latest version but then always brings up CS4 and says not the right kind of document...? ive tried going to Updstes in help and says all updated but I have version 5.0.0.178 of Camera Raw

Adobe Camera Raw did not support the Canon 550D until version 6.1 for Photoshop CS5.
The best way if you do not wish to upgrade is to download the 8.7 DNG converter and convert your Canon 550d raw files to dng so that Photoshop CS4 can open them in your version of Camera Raw.
Where to get the DNG converter:
Camera Raw 8.7 and DNG Converter 8.7 Now available

PNG: Could not complete your request...not the right kind of document

Suddenly, I am unable to open any PNG files or even "Save as" png with Photoshop. I can't open test tiff files and save as png through "save for web."
But when I try to open those test files, I get this error message "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document."
I was able to open them yesterday.
I thought my plugin might be corrupt, so I downloaded and added a new one. Tried to drop it in File Formats. No work. Then into Adobe Photoshop Only > File Formats folders. Also didn't work.
Maybe I need to change preferences?
Any suggestions or pointers to documentation for a fix? I need to use PNG.
I hope to upgrade to CS4 this summer, but right now, I'm still using CS.

My OS is 10.4.11. on 2 GHz Intel iMac.
I reread my orignial post and noticed a typo. I can save png's with PS "save for the web," but can't open those just-saved png files.
I did lots of things before I noticed that the png wasn't working. Don't know which may have caused a problem. Likely things? Well, I added a plugin for Ico. format. I deleted it because I thought it might have caused the conflict.
Assuming that was the problem, what can I do to restore the png file format?
I don't have disk warrior. I did run the maintenance utility yesterday. It runs crons, clears caches, deletes cookies, that kind of stuff.
I've never had a problem with it disabling plugins or causing any problems. Haven't run disk utility for a few weeks. Would that help?
I didn't download the replace png plugin from Adobe, but the original wasn't working anyway. I looked for a backup on the exernal drive, didn't find one, and downloaded another.
Next, I did a Photoshop reinstall thinking that might fix the problem, but it didn't. Which plugin folder should the png plugin be place in. I've never been sure why there are two format folders; the folder in plugins, and the folder in Photoshop only.

My macbook turns off randomly but not completely because when I tap the touchpad it goes to the password screen and I am back to it in seconds. It's really annoying. HELP!!!

1. Non volatile random access memory (NVRAM) is where the computer stores user's settings, like time and date, speaker volume, energy saver settings etc.
2. Reseting NVRAM has no impact on anything on your hard drive, or anything else on the computer.

NEF file doesn't open "because it is not the right kind of document"?

Hello-
I just installed photoshop on a new computer and am trying to open NEF files. It gives me an error message that says "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document". I have never had this error message when opening NEF files on other computers. Any idea what I need to do?
Thanks!

It would be useful to know what version of Photoshop you are using and what version of Camera Raw you have installed...odds are you need to update your ACR plug-in (or use the most recent version og DNG Converter).

Unable to open PNG files "not the right kind of document"

I just noticed this error today when I tried to open several PNG files, some of which I created with Photoshop: "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document".
I'm running Photoshop 9.0.2 on Windows XP Pro. Opening other file types (gif, jpg) works fine. I also noticed that in the save as dialog box that PNG is not a listed file type.

PNG certainly is listed as a file type. I have saved many of them using Save As, many quite recently, using PSCS3; and I just did a couple in PSCS2. Here's the Save As box in PSCS2 with an 8-bit flattened image being saved as PNG:
 
<a href="http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1PSNAANh2tPbX1MMDLjmQLbHFqm91" /></a>
<img alt="Picture hosted by Pixentral" src="http://www.pixentral.com/hosted/1PSNAANh2tPbX1MMDLjmQLbHFqm91_thumb.png" border="0" />
 And here's the Save As box in CS2 with a 16-bit layered image being saved as PNG:
 
<a href="http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=145dp6qArIbj9k8JG23J1jGojM4imR1" /></a>
<img alt="Picture hosted by Pixentral" src="http://www.pixentral.com/hosted/145dp6qArIbj9k8JG23J1jGojM4imR1_thumb.png" border="0" />
 
 Both PNG images opened properly. The second one opened as 16-bit, flattened (layers aren't preserved in PNG).
 
 And both of the above images were Saved As PNG from PSCS2, also.

Not the right kind of document?

Downloaded optional plugin earlier of Adobe's ExtrackPlus. Each time I click on icon I get the error message: "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document!"
Photoshop CS4 Extented
ACR 5.7
Win7 Ultimate 64-Bit
RAM 6GB

Zeno, - Thanks again, the information you provided was very helpful. Unfortunately after manually installing the plugin, still no extract tool in the 64-Bit version. It seems Adobe InDesign Premium Suite CS4 provides two versions of PS CS4, 32 Bit and 64 Bit PS CS4 Extended. 32 Bit version of PS4 installed Extract plugin problemlessly. 64 Bit version of PS4's Extended error message stated: "Could not complete the Extract command because this version of Photoshop does not supply the services required by this plug-in module. Any suggestions Zeno?

"not the right kind of document" -- eps & ps

This seems to be quite an issue with photoshop, as I see.
The weird thing is that Photoshop CS2 could open EPS and PS files, which was handy for generating hi-res tiff from InDesign layouts. Now suddenly it cannot open neither postscript file — and reads "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document".
I re-installed the Photoshop from the CreativeSuite CD; I also tried to apply the steps from here http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/329/329945.html , however the only relevant "solution" was to recreate the preferences file, which hasn't helped either.
Any clues? Thanks in advance.
System: Win XP, SP3 / Adobe CS 2 Premium with updates / 3Gb RAM

As Chris Cox points out, PS wants, and needs, to see things in certain locations. Attempts at "housekeeping" can have catastrophic results.
The same thing with many 3rd party plug-ins. Many require that you "install," while some just require that you copy the plug-in over to a particular folder. You need to follow the instructions closely, and comply.
Unlike Premiere surveying one's system for all .VST's, PS likes things a certain way with regards to plug-ins.
Good luck,
Hunt
