  • Photoshop CS5 "Could not complete your request because of a program error." on Save As

    Hello all,
    We just got a new iMac with 10.9 on it.  Photoshop CS5 is having a major problem.  About 80% of the time we get an error on Save As, "Could not complete your request because of a program error."
    It appears like it might be related to saving JPEGs, as we get the message when saving as JPEG and Photoshop PDF.  Saving as Photoshop and PNG work fine.
    Running 10.9.3
    Photoshop CS5
    Creative Cloud is also installed on this machine.

    Alright, something on your system is causing odd problems.
    Third party plugins would be the first suspect.  If you have third party plugins, disable them.
    Corrupt font files or corrupt OS font cache would be the second.
    See this for tips to troubleshoot font issues:  http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-fonts-photoshop-cs5.html
    After those 2 causes, it would have to be something invoked, like a scanner or printer driver.
    Then we get to bad installs, bad RAM, bad CPU, etc.

  • Photoshop cs3 "could not complete your request because of a program error"

    I have PS cs3 on powerpc mac ox 10.5.8, and have been using it for 3 years
    or so perfectly. I started getting the "could not complete your request
    because of a program error" when I was trying to open an ai eps (like I've
    done before about 1000 times). Now, every time I open any file, I get this
    error.
    I removed everything PS cs3 from my computer (with the install disk) and
    clean installed the program (after just throwing out the prefs, settings,
    rebooting w/command/option, etc.). and now, same thing.
    I called adobe support, and he said to go online, so here I am - wits end.
    1. why do you think this happened initially and still (seems to be related
    to fonts or the type tool because of error right away when I click that)?
    2. what can I look for other than the prefs/settings that could be causing
    it?
    3. how do I fix it?
    thanks for your help,
    dan ([email protected])

    Thanks, but I found that this worked in another post below:
    I think it was a font issue, so I cleaned out some otf and ITC TT fonts (from Classic era)
    and Deleted ~/Library/Caches/Adobe folder  - think this is the key!
    restarted PS and it's working now!
    thanks!
    Happy Macing

    Re: "Could not complete your request because of a program error"
    FWIW, I just fixed this problem (I think) with the following:
    Quit PS
    Moved Stone Sans OS ITC TT out of the /Library/Fonts/ folder
    Moved Stone Sans OS ITC TT out of the ~/Library/Fonts/ folder
    Deleted ~/Library/Caches/Adobe folder
    Restarted PS

  • Photoshop CS4: Could not complete your request because of a program error.

    Hello,
    I find myself in an interesting dilemma. I've had CS4 for a bunch of years now and have loved it. Unfortunately, my MacBook Pro's hard drive crashed a month or so back. Luckily, I have been using an external hard drive to back up my computer, so when it crashed, I lost very little in comparisson to some horror stories I've heard.
    My Ps was able to retuned to my new hard drive with virtually no problems. However, the error "Could not complete your request because of a program error" shows up in rapid succession 5-10 times after I select the text tool. Interestingly enough, if I weather that storm, I'm able to use all the fonts, actions, etc. with no problems. Originally, it was simply a nuissance that I dealt with, but it's beginning to hamper my work, especially today when I was on deadline.
    Doing some research and reading around the web and given the most culpable reason seems to be something wrong with a font, but I don't know which font I'm missing, need to update, whatever.
    So here's my question: how do I get this thing to go away? Is there some file or something like that buried in a backup that I didn't bring over to the new hard drive that's causing the problem. At first, I was just happy to have the thing working after the crash, but it's getting pretty annoying.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Well, I don't know which fonts came from where, to be honest. It's kind of a mix of whatever I've done over the past 5+ years, if that makes sense.
    I'm perfectly fine deleting all the fonts and reinstalling just the ones needed for PsCS4 if there's a file of that.

  • Could not complete the command because of a program error

    I am running CS3 and for some reason, I get this error on many of the filter options. To reproduce:
    - load any picture - it does not matter what format I use
    - create a new layer by selecting the new layer icon at the bottom of the layers pallet
    - with the new layer selected, going to the menu item filter/blur/Gaussian Blur
    I have reset the preferences by pressing ctrl/alt/shift while bringing up Photoshop.
    I also have reinstalled (repaired) Photoshop.
    I've tried many different pictures with several formats (raw, .psd, .jpg) with no luck.
    Interestingly enough, the filter Lens Blur does come up with the screen.
    What am I doing wrong? This should not be rocket science.....
    Thanks,
    Steve

    "...create a new layer by selecting the new layer icon at the bottom of the layers pallet..."
    That produces a blank layer. With this blank layer selected, you should get the message "Could not complete the command because the selected area is blank".

    The above error just started recently when I do cntl A to select all  the cntrl C to copy.

    I don't know why there is an error but you may be able to prevent it by disabling clipboard export in preferences.

    Please help
    thanks

    Try using the purge command and see if that helps, its possible there is something corrupted somewhere, failing that you could always try a fresh reinstall. I haven't had any issues with Mavericks on my iMac, so I don't think its specific to that OS update.

    Without proper system information and other details like what files you work with  nobody can tell you much. From corrupted prefs to issues with your PS swap file to actual problems with the fiel storage this could be anything.

    Could not complete your request because of a program error. Getting error message every time I open the program and try to do anything. Have to Force Quit to close. Using a Mac. Your expertise is appreciated!!

    Have you tried removing all 3rd party plug-ins?
    Also, resetting preferences to defaults may help...  Press and hold Command - Shift - Option immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be really quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your current preferences, which will lead to the establishment of a fresh default set. If it does not prompt you, you haven't been quick enough to get the keys down.

  • When opening a file in Photoshop CC I get 'Could not complete your request because of a program error.'

    I can see this is a generic error message('Could not complete your request because of a program error.') and I have done my best to read through many of the responses.
    It occurs on the second, third, or sometimes fourth file that I try to 'Open', however I can still use the 'Open With' command through Finder.
    I have tried resetting the preferences as per Julieanne Kost's recommendations, I have reinstalled Photoshop CC 2014, Generator isn't turned on, I don't have any Third-Party plug-ins loaded, I have tried running it in Safe mode, and I have reset my iMac's PRAM.
    Photoshop doesn't appear to be writing a PSErrorLog.txt file?   (~/Library/Preferences/Photoshop CC Settings/PSErrorLog.txt)

    Please can you help me?

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

  • Adobe Photoshop Could not complete your request because of a program error

    I brought home a Photoshop CC file from work to work on at home. It opened fine, other than some missing fonts which I then installed. I worked on the file for a while and then went to "Save As" a new version. I got a dialog box saying "Could not complete your request because of a program error." I tried "Save" instead of "Save As" and got the same result. I tried saving it to different locations, but I keep getting the same error message. I have been using Photoshop CC for almost a year now and have never had this problem. Does anyone have a fix?
    The software is Adobe Photoshop CC v14.2.1 x64, and the OS is 10.7.4. Thanks to anyone who can help!

    Did you reset your Preferences and Photoshop tools.  Photoshop Preferences are not removed with an un-install and an Install does not install preferences.  Preferences are created  for a user id when a user ID start Photoshop  and there are no preferences for the user ID.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended Could not complete your request because of a program error.

    When starting Photoshop CS6 I get this error message, Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended  Could not complete your request because of a program error (-- OK --).  This happens on the main screen immediately.  Once I click OK the program seems to be alright.  But some part of it, that I haven't discovered yet, may not function properly.
    I am running Windows7 Professional Service Pack 1 64 bit with Intel i7-4770k CPU and 16 GIG Ram.
    This problem just started recently, everything has been fine up till now.  I must have done something when trying to defragment the Registry or get rid of temp files.
    I have uninstalled Photoshop CS6 and reinstalled it with no effect.  I have tried to run Photoshop CS6 32 bit in Safe Mode, but it will not run.  It hangs up on Reading Memory.
    Is there any kind log file that would tell me what is causing this to occur?
    Does anyone know what might cause this?
    Thank you in advance for any helpful information.

    Oh, dear.
    If you use PSE as your external editor for iphoto, you need to save the images back to iphoto by using Save, not Save As and not changing anything like the name or format that would bring up the Save As window. (You may need to adjust the editor prefs>saving files>on first save to save over existing.)
    OR you can export the photos from iphoto to the desktop, use file>open in the editor and then change whatever you want and either import the saved image to the organizer or import it back to iphoto as a new file. What you are doing is extremely risky, particularly to the iphoto library which you may easily damage by your workflow.
    I would start the organizer holding down the shift key, then create a new catalog and switch to the new one. Then try opening the editor without opening an image and see if you get any farther.
    PSE and iphoto are not designed to be used as you've been doing. You are trying to write to the iphoto library from outside iphoto, which is the fastest known way to corrupt the library and lose all your photos.

  • When I click on Define Custom Shape, I get an error message: "could not complete your request because of a program error."

    I'm using Photoshop CC 2014. When I click on Define Custom Shape, there is an error box that says "could not complete your request because of a program error."  How can I solve this problem or work around it? I've looked on the internet for answers but could find no solutions to this. The custom shape tool is 99% of what I use!

    Consider resetting the Pen tool by right clicking here
    and if that doesn't solve the problem a logical next step would be to reset your Preferences.
    To reset Preferences:
    If Photoshop is already open on your screen, close it (Quit). Then hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and start Photoshop.
    A dialog box will pop up asking if you want to delete the existing Preferences file (the "Settings"). Click Yes in the dialog box. The existing Preferences file will be scrapped and a new one will be created.
    By the way, if "The custom shape tool is 99% of what I use!" have you considered Illustrator?
