[Mac] Could not complete your request because of a program error.
Hello, I've got the problem with opening the file. It was saved in Photoshop CS 6, everything was ok, but after opening the file in few seconds here the message "Could not complete your request because of a program error." What should I do?? It was making all day long!
[Title Edited to reflect OS for clarity - Hunt]
Olga Chu,
Thank you for that information.
Yours is not a common error, though I have read of it before. In about 2 decades of using Ps (for most daily), I have never encountered it. However, there are some great folk here, who have seen about everything, and will probably have some solutions - though there might be a few additional questions. You have given them something to work with, so all is not lost yet.
There is likely something specific to your installation (maybe something as simple as a Permissions issue?), or to your system. Since I am a PC-only person, I will not muck about trying to guess what might translate from my PC's to your Mac. Since the Ps Forums were combined, we have a bunch of Mac experts, who are also experts in Ps. Give them a bit of time, to see your post. I am also going to Edit your title, to reflect the OS, and that should trigger those Mac-users to rush in to help.
Unless you have a deadline, give them a bit of time, to sort this issue out - I hate to have to redo my Images, if not totally necessary.
Good luck,
Hunt

Error: "Could not complete your request because of a program error" (photoshop CS2 9.0.2 on MAC OSX
Today I started my program (photoshop CS2 9.0.2) and opened a JPG file. When I went to print the file the program crashed and closed. When I restarted the program and went to open the file I got this error message, "Could not complete your request because of a program error".
I have tried several different file types/sizes and all result in the same error message since the program crashed. It will not open any file I try to open. As I indicated above I am using Photoshop CS2 9.0.2 it is on a MAC with OSX 10.4.11.
I called Adobe and the Rep directed me to Tech Note 331307 and told me to Re-create the Photoshop preferences files. Which I did and restarted the program, but when I tried to open a file (any file) I still get the same error message so it doesn't appear to be the preferences.
Does anyone have any info as to what the problem may be and how to correct it.
ThanksThanks for the response. OK... This is the first day I have been able to get back to the problem.
My system I am running Photoshop on is a Power Mac G4, AGP Graphics ATY Rage 128Pro chip set 16MB VRAM LCD 1280x1024 32-bit color, 500MHz, 1.75GB of memory, 1 MB L2 Cache, 100 MHz Bus Speed. I had installed the latest security update and repaired the permissions the day the problem started.
Now to day I started the system and went in and created a Guest Account. I logged into the guest account and started Photoshop. Low and behold it worked just fine. So I logged out of guest and logged into my main user account And started Photoshop. Wouldn't you know it.... It works just fine. I can open any file I want with now problems.
I got to thinking after I had done all of this that I wished I had tried to open a file in Photoshop today prior to creating the guest account to see if it still had the problem in my main user account.
I did not change anything else on the system and all seems to work fine now. So at his point I am really not sure what the problem was.
Again thanks for taking the time to respond to this issue. -
Photoshop CC: When I'm trying to draw a rectangle I can't fill it or create a stoke because there is a message telling me; "Could not complete your request because of a program error. What can I do?
It is a mute point now. PSE12 finally failed to the point it locked up the MAC. I had to restore the MAC OS from backup to a point before the PSE12 update.
The MAC now operates correctly and so does PSE12. I don't think I'll be updating PSE any time soon. -

Type layer error: Could not complete your request because of a program error.
I am trying to rebuild text in a photo. I clicked the type tool, clicked on the background layer (knowing a new one should form) and got this error:
Could not complete your request because of a program error.
Then I made a new blank layer, clicked on it and got the same error.
I quit, relaunched started typing the new layer without a hitch. But when I selected to change the font (to any font), I got the same error
I switched to Firefox to search for the problem and went back to PSCS5. Now I can change the font! After switching applications and clicking on the type layer, I get the error again! Then it's fixed. Then it comes back.
Anyone have this problem or a solution?
I'm using Mac OS 10.5.8 with PSCS5 12.0.1Most likely you have a corrupt font which is causing problems for some of the type/font code.
Try validating your fonts with FontBook as a first step. -

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. -
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? -
Installed PSE12 in July, Installed and operated without issue. Received a message on the iMac 21.5 running OS X 10.9.4 about an update for PSE 12 being available. I downloaded and installed the update. Now when the Editor of the app is launched, I get a message that says "could not complete your request because of a program error". If I click "OK", the editor will usually continue and operate without problem but sometimes it will launch to a full gray screen and with just the border and will not close, can not quit, and prevents the MAC from shutting down. I have the force quit the app to continue to use the MAC. I have tried safe mode and user admin with same error. I can't find any posting specific to this issue. I thought there was a method to reinstall PSE without uninstalling it but I can't find it. Should I just simply uninstall PSE 12 anad start over???
It is a mute point now. PSE12 finally failed to the point it locked up the MAC. I had to restore the MAC OS from backup to a point before the PSE12 update.
The MAC now operates correctly and so does PSE12. I don't think I'll be updating PSE any time soon. -
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.

Constant: Could not complete your request because of a program error
Hi Guys,
Last week I upgraded from CS3 Design Premium to CS4 Design Premium, everything is working perfectly bar Photoshop 11.0.1
I am running OSX 10.5.8 on a Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 with 5.5GB ram
I am getting the error message "Could not complete your request because of a program error" repeatedly when using PS or even if I just launch it and have it run in the bg it will come up with the error
The error stays there if you click ok it instantly re-appears and does not go away so you basically have to force quit PS
I have tried the apple+option+shift on program launch and it seems to fix it for a few min passibly enough time to open an image do a quick colour levels and save but any more than that it starts the error process again.
I have also tried reinstalling from disk with no luck
I cant thing of anything else to do has anyone else got any ideas?
Cheers,
Dandano4127,
I was having the exact same issue. Running Mac OS 10.5.8 on a PowerPC. Started having the issue in CS3 just about the time I was going to upgrade to CS4. I installed CS4 , and it was working great. Then boom! Started getting the perpetual "Could not complete your request... blah blah blah" error.
Through quite a bit of my own digging (and let me tell you I am no geek by any stretch) from Apple and Adobe, I found a suggestion to delete my font cache files - since sometimes they get corrupted and cause all sorts of weird behavior. I did this using a free download called FontNuke (http://www.jamapi.com/pr/fn/). It collected and deleted all my font cache files.
And so far so good!
When you are done, you may want to validate your fonts through FontBook (if you use it), and get rid of any that are corrupted as well.
Hope this helps! -
Could not complete your request because of a program error after text layers prompt
For the past 4 months I have been receiving a message saying "Some text layers might need ot be updated before they can be used for vector based output. Do you want to update these layers now?" In the past I simply click update and go on with my business but now I am receiving a an error message saying "Could not complete your request because of a program error." If I click no on the update it loads the PSD file but then if I try to edit anything on the PSD file I receive the same error. I have done the following troubleshooting:
1. reinstalled photoshop
2. repaired mac permissions
3. deleted preferences settings in photoshop
I did create a generic photoshop file and saved it and loaded it with text and everything but with no error. But I did not receive the text layers update prompt either. This works fine, so I basically can say that I narrowed it down to the specific file or something in the file. But also I have tried 10+ different PSD files that prompt for the text layer updates and all receive the same error now.
Any thoughts?You have a bad font on the system and it knocks out the text engine. Remove it.

"Could not complete your request because of a program error" upon Open
Hi,
I've spent over 2 hours on the phone with Tech Support trying to troubleshoot the following error: Could not complete your request because of a program error.

"could not complete your request because of a program error", PDF format, cs2, xp
1. When edit picture from pdf (from acrobat 7.0.8) in photoshop cs2 901, source pdf can't be saved after closing image in photoshop.
2. When opening picture in photoshop pdf format, program return "could not complete your request because of a program error". Pdf is saved from same photoshop on same machine.
What is that with cs2? I have buy 24 tlp licenses cs2 premium packets and i can't work like in previous version? This is big disapointed for me from adobe.
How i can resolve above problems?
OS is legal xp with all s. packs....this problem is frustrating me now, running intel mac, 10.4.9, PShop 9.02, tried everything without a solution yet, my program error occurs right on launch, change a preference, leave it running in the background, then the icon in my dock starts bouncing at me for attention...
...boot from cd and run disk utility - failed
...trashing all preferences and settings - failed
...re-install pshop, update to 9.02 - failed
...boot in safe mode, start pshop and quit, reboot normal mode, start pshop - failed
...recreated printers in printer set up - failed
...program errors occur when software conflicts arise due to an updated operating system.
...so the conclusion i have come up with is it's (according to adobe, apples problem for updating the operating system, and according to apple, adobes problem for updating Pshop), the problem being it is always someone elses problem...
...rosetta has a few issues I'm sure with CS2, not sure adobe want us running CS2 in rosetta really, perhaps we'll all get annoyed enough eventually to have to get the CS3 instead...
...sod the 9.02 update, uninstall it, reinstall and update to 9.01...
...works fine...
...except for illustrator cs2 that is, he is quite happy crashing in the background too...
...making quark xpress on rosetta look fantastic. what a headache for everyone...
...this post might sound intolerable, as it goes i'm very tolerable, my boss ain't though waltzing round wandering why he spends his money on this stuff, well, customers money really...

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

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

On Mac OS 10.8.5
Error Message: Could not complete your request because of a program error.
Help! My CS6 photoshop was working before I upgraded my operating system to OS 10.8.5. I uninstalled photoshop and reinstalled it. Still doesn't work. I can't do anything in Photoshop, it comes up with that error everytime I try to open a file.Hi,
Thanks for the information. I tried it and the message "Could not complete your request because of a program error." comes up when I open the program or try to do anything in the program. So when I went to edit preferences it pops the same message up. It won't let me do anything in photoshop. I am up to date on the operating system but that didn't fix it either. Any other ideas would be appreciated. I cant use photoshop on my main computer at all!
Thank you!
