Can't complete your request due to a program error

So I buy a brand new iMac retina 5K 32G Ram, 1T SSD, i7 4.0 - 2 weeks ago.
I spend a few days with software and passwords.
THEN
in the middle of a "timeline" animation Photoshop crashes.
Lots of layers and stuff.
I restart computer and the whole file won't do anything.
Can't save due to program error.
Can't select a layer or... literally anything.
File is useless.
2 days of work on a crunch for product release- all gone!
Spend an hour with an Adobe support person who is reading a manual and largely clueless.
we reinstall and run permissions test and verify disc and all the usual stuff.
They suggest I start the work over.
Work 2 more days on fresh file and WHAM!
Same thing.
Spent an hour with Apple support- we test machine and reinstall everything.
Still can't open the file and have lost 4 days of work.
Thots?
is adobe PS cc 2014 not compatible with Mavericks?
is the the beginning of the end? No help for power users that rely on this to make money?
Only some off shore phone bank with clueless workers?

And it JUSt did it again. This time I selected some text to change its color.
PROGRAM ERROR!!!!!
are u f-in kidding me!

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).

Could not complete your request due to a program error...

When I am saving a jpeg image I keep getting 'could not complete your request due to a programme error' if i save as, or close and save, or just press save. Please could some one help me solve this! As i have no clue how to!
many thanks.

Did you create the file? You can try to save it as PSD file, and then share it with us. Maybe we can find what is wrong with it.

Can't open file: "Could not complete your request because of a program error"

I have a Photoshop file that suddenly won't open. Last week I upgraded to CS5--the file had been created in CS3 prior to that. When I try to open it, I receive this error message (in CS5): "Could not complete your request because of a program error." I tried to open the same file in CS3; there, the file opens, but as soon as I try to do anything I get the same error message....which, annoyingly, re-appears the second I click "OK," so the only thing I can do in CS3 is force-quit.
I've used Time Machine to retrieve versions of the file that were saved four days ago, seven days, and several weeks ago, and I get the same message every time. Even on versions that were last saved with CS3 (before I installed CS5).
Naturally, this is one of the most important files in my life right now....it's a 300 MB file that contains hundreds of layers and dozens of comps. So the fact that I suddenly can't open it, after shelling out $1200 to upgrade to the latest and greatest Adobe has to offer, is, to say the least, distressing.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks,
TheWocky

First thing I would do is investigate hard drive issues and the health of the OS.

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.

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

I am trying to open files with Photoshop and I get an error message
Could not complete your request because of a program error.
I have tried to open inmany directions still I get this notice
Could not complete your request because of a program error.
It started when I upgraded to Marverick

Can you open the files in the Finder?

"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...

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.
Thanks

Thanks 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.

I keep getting a message saying "Could not complete your request because of a program error"

I keep getting a message saying ( Could not complete your request because of a program error??
Does anyone know what this means or how to fix?

blucoast,
Can you please be more detailed? When are you getting this - what is causing it? Any specific tool or while starting Photoshop itself?
Do you see an error number or error code or a report? Can you post that here?

Effects not working? "Could not complete your request because of a program error?"

Hey guys&gals - I have always had this problem when working in RGB/CYMK modes - can anyone help me with that?
More more importantly, now I am getting in in Grayscale mode as of this morning.
I run Photoshop 6 V 13.1.2 x64 and just updated it this AM.
Effects are crucial for my job, so I need this fixed asap!!
I have tried the ctrl, alt, shift start up to no avail. Restarted, shutdown my PC as well.
Please advise!
Thanks,
blaqgranitelaser

Found the places I was supposed to - now what? Photoshop isn't crashing... doesn't give me any info other than a box saying "Could not complete your request because of a program error." And I have no choice but to click OK. This only happens when I try to use the layer effects in any color mode. Originally it was only in RGB/CMYK but now also happens in Grayscale.
I'm not technologically savvy - I know what programs I use, but that is all.

Cannot open files ~ Could not complete your request because of a program error

I can inly open 3 files and then I get this error message ~ Could not complete your request because of a program error
Please help, I am in the middle or a project ...
Thank you,
Linda

There is likely a font on that system that's corrupted or for some reason Photoshop just can't deal with. Fonts are complex things, and it's well known that bad fonts can crash applications.
Ferreting out such a font is normally a matter of removing all but the default fonts, seeing that the problem is corrected, then adding the fonts back in systematically until the offender is isolated. Yes, this can be tedious.
If it's not a font problem, there's a possibility it's a display driver problem. To help diagnose that, go into Edit - Preferences - Performance, disable OpenGL Drawing, then restart Photoshop. If the problem goes away, you'll want to check the web site of the maker of the video card for driver updates. Don't forget to re-enable OpenGL Drawing again after updating the driver.
Good luck.

What causes "Could not complete your request because of a program error"?

I am trying to edit some pictures from a recent shoot and every time I try to open one a message pops up saying, " Could not complete your request because of a program error." What does this mean and how do I fix it?

Welcome to this forum!
I’m happy to help but can do a better job if I have more information about your situation.
What version of Photoshop do you have?
What is the make and model of the camera you used for the shoot?
Could you also include a screenshot of your entire screen as the error message pops up? To include a screenshot in your post, click the word “Reply” below the post you’re reading right now and then click the camera picture to embed the image.

Why is it when I go to open a file in Photoshop cc I get a "Could not complete your request because of a program error". I have uninstalled and re-installed software, It works for a short time then I get that error again when i go to open a file. Thank

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.

Saved Tiffs will not open in CS2 and generate a "Could not complete your request because of a program error".

this was supplied by Ann Shelbourne.
Saved Tiffs will not open in CS2 and generate a "Could not complete your request because of a program error".
These files will often open in Photoshop 7.0.1 or in CS1 but not in CS2.
The trouble may be caused by bad dates in the EXIF data and can originate from an incorrectly-programmed digital camera; or from a scan that was created after after Jan1 of this year (because of a known bug in some scanner software).
If someone runs into the "Could not complete your request because of a program error" problem, and does not have CS1, try opening the Tiff in TextEdit.
The EXIF data is right at the top. Check the EXIF data for bad creation dates and change any incorrect ones there.
Save and close; and then the file will probably open in CS2 without a murmur.

> If iPhoto causes problems why not open the images from the Finder?
I get the error if I open a file from within iPhoto using "OPen in external editor" and then alter it (or do not alter it) and try to save it over itself, or save it anywhere else.
I get the error if I do "Show file" in iPhoto to see the file in the Finder. Then, if I double-click and it opens in PS, and then alter it (or do not alter it) and try to save it over itself, or save it anywhere else.
> And with »save it anywhere« You indicate that You use the Save As-command?
Right.

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)
I haven't had any other issues.
I am running Photoshop on OS X Yosemite 10.10.2.
Please can you help me?

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