Could not complete the define custom shape command because of program error

I am using the pen tool to draw a shape and then select it to create a custom shape. I use path: edit - define custom shape = "could not complete the define custom shape command because of program error"
The error message appears once I click the define button.

Also, I solved this another way, seems to happen to me often. I click on the path panel, near layers panel and clicked on 'load path as a selection' (3rd icon on bottom from left), then click 'make work path from selection' (4th icon on bottom from left). Then you will see that the whole work area is part of the selection, including your desired shape/path. In order to change this, just select 'path selection' tool and highlight each corner and delete each point from each corner, then you are left with the desired selection to create a shape. I am self taught and this seem unorthodox, but it works.

I have cc2014 and I want to bridge to DAZ Studio .duf file. In PS I choose File Automate DAZ Studio 3d bridge - get error message "could not complete DAZ Studio 3D Bridge command because of program error". What's going on.

I get error message when trying to open DAZ Studio 3D bridge in PS 2014 from the File and Automate Menu.
Error reads "could not complete DAZ Studio 3D Bridge command because of program error?"
According to User Documentation I should get a dialog box which allows me to click on "Launch DAZ Studio"
Why is there a problem?

You have something messed in with your Photoshop or OS install. You need to troubleshoot that first.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, video card specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.
A screen shot could be very helpful too.

Could not complete the video frames to layers because of a program error

Whenever I try to import video into frames to layers on photoshop, I get this error. (could not complete the video frames to layers because of a program error)
Why is that and how do I fix it???

You see my C:\ drive is quite small as it's a SSD, so I made Adobe install programs on my E:\ drive too, however this was the main cause for Adobe not to function.
After adjusting the settings to install everything back to my C:\ drive, it fixed my issue above and allowed me to run the 64bit version.

Could not complete the define brush command because no pixels are selected

I have created brushes before, but I keep getting this message when I try now.

Since you've done it before, I'll assume you know you need an active selection, but are you sure you're working on a layer with pixels in it (as opposed to an adjustment layer, for instance)? Which version of PSE?

Could not complete the camera raw command because of disk error

Hi,
First off, I am using a Mac (OS X ver. 10.9.2) and Adobe Creative Cloud Photoshop (2014). I just downloaded the preset pack off VSCO for Adobe Camera RAW and I am having trouble getting it to work.
When I try to launch the "Camera Raw Filter", I get the message 'Could not complete the Camera Raw Filter command because of a disk error.' (this also happens sometimes when i try to import the RAW files into photoshop...I don't know if it's the way i'm importing them or what...?)
I've tried uninstalling and re-installing photoshop cc several times and restarting my computer and have searched online but cannot find anything at all to help me (or i just don't understand, urgh).
Please help!

I'm getting same error and I think it's related to Adobe Camera Raw. I see several manifestations of this problem:
1) Open a RAW file (.NEF) directly using Photoshop CC 2014 - I get an error "Could not complete your request because of a disk error."
2) In Photoshop CC 2014. I go to Filter > Camera Raw Filter - I get an error "Could not complete the Camera Raw Filter command because of a disk error."
I can do the following successfully:
1) Open and edit a RAW file successfully in Lightroom 5.7
2) Open a RAW file successfully in Photoshop from Lightroom 5.7 (when I do an "Edit in Photoshop CC 2014" from Lightroom 5.7)
I was previously on LR3 and Photoshop CS5 on Mac OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) and bought an upgraded MacBook Pro last week.
My upgraded system is now:
Mac OSX 10.10.1 (Yosemite)
Photoshop CC 2014
Lightroom 5.7
I've uninstalled / reinstalled Photoshop and Lightroom numerous times and the problem still occurs.
Anyone else having the same problem?

Itunes Could Not complete the music store request, the store may be busy,

I get the error "Could Not complete the music store request, the store may be busy, check your internet connection or try again later." I have uninstalled and reinstalled, I have complete firewall access to it and I have no clue what is wrong with it. It used to always work but it hasn't worked at all in the last several months.

are you getting an error message number with that message? (i was thinking that the message itself looked a bit like the message that comes with the -50.)

"Could not complete the custom command because the ICC profile is invalid"

I got the above message when I attempted to soft-proof an image in Photoshop CC on Windows 7 64-bit.
I had downloaded the ICC profile from drycreekphoto.com, specifically:
http://www.drycreekphoto.com/icc/Profiles/IccFiles/Arizona/Costco-AZ-Tucson-NW-Lus.icc
and installed it by right-clicking on the downloaded file and selecting "Install profile"
Windows installed the profile in the following directory:
C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color
Then in Photoshop CC, I did
View -> Proof setup -> Custom
But when I selected the above profile from the dropdown list, I got error message
"Could not complete the custom command because the ICC profile is invalid"
Does this mean that the profile is really invalid, or am I doing something wrong?
FYI I am new to color management. This was my first attempt to soft proof an image.

I can't quite figure out how it got that way - it has part of an ICC profile structure, but quite a bit wrong. Even debugging tools can't read it as an ICC profile.
It's probably the one file - let drycreek/costco know so they can replace it.

Nik Software Crash: "Could not complete the Color Efex Pro 4 command because of a problem with-"

Nik Software/Photoshop Crash: "Could not complete the Color Efex Pro 4 command because of a problem with the filter module interface." Define, Viveza work fine, the others, Color Efex, HDR Efex, Silver Efex don't. I called Nik and they said they were familiar with this problem and that it was an Adobe problem. They helped me uninstall and re-install the latest version of the filters. Didn't fix the problem. I called Adobe technical support, they confirmed that indeed it was an Adobe problem, but, they can't help me because they no longer offer support on CS5. I'm on an iMac with Mountian Lion 10.8.5, running Photoshop CS5.1. I searched the internet and found this problem mentioned in several places, just couldn't find the fix. Interesting coincidence - I had been using Photoshop and the Nik software perfectly fine, even the morning of the day it began to crash. I got a pop-up message from Adobe asking if they could anonymously monitor my usage to better their products. I clicked on "Ask me later." Then, my product crashed every time I tried to use the above-mentioned Nik software filters. ??? Why would they want to monitor my usage of a product they won't/don't support anyway? Help someone please - I really love the Nik software. I paid top dollar for it back in the day because people like Dan Hughes actually answered your questions themselves. The customer support was the best in the industry. The opposite is true of Adobe, is it not?

Thank you so much Chris. I know I'm not the only person to run into this as both Nik/Google and Adobe acknowledged this problem. I did however try something else to try and isolate the issue further. I tried editing with Nik/Google Color Efex & Silver Efex, etc., in Aperture, and sure enough, the Nik/Google filters wouldn't open, or they would crash Aperture. So - it's looking like a Nik/Google problem. They used to be so good. The crazy thing is that I had been using Photoshop with the Nik filters just fine, even earlier that very day. What could have gone wrong? Was there some kind of automatic update Saturday 3/1/14? And it was especially weird that it happened immediately after I refused to allow Adobe to (anonymously) monitor my usage. I'll call Nik/Google back tomorrow and tell them what you've told me, as well as letting them know their filters crashed Aperture too. I'll report back as soon as I find a fix. I know I'm not the only one out there who's experienced this.
Thanks again!

Could not complete the export command because of an application error

Every once in awhile I get the error, "Could not complete the export command because of an application error" when using the Save for Web option. It's really confusing because the error is not consistent. I don't get it all the time. In fact, 99% of the time I can save with no problems. When I quit Photoshop and reopen my files they seem to save just fine. Does anyone know why this happens, and how to prevent it from happening in the future?
Here are my specs:
Macintosh: iMac
OS: 10.6.8
Photoshop: CS3 (v10.0.1)
Any help is greatly appreciated!

No idea about the specific issue, but I like to pass on some general advice I have received myself here over time:
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 pressing command-alt-shift 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.

Could not complete the export command because the file could not be found

When I try to save for web, Photoshop pops up a dialog box that says "could not complete the export command because the file could not be found".
What is the solution for this?

Please provide more information (Photoshop version, OS, target volume, …).
Does the file’s or one of the folders’ name contain problematic letters (slash etc.)?

Could not complete the last command : problem with toast 10

Hi, I am trying to burn blu ray content with Toast 10 Pro (blu-ray content burned to DVD). I have created the content (Quick Time movie) with FCP 7 (into an MOV file). And then added it to Toast 10. Then I tried to create disk image. It gave me this error:
could not complete the last command because there is a problem with the source material: Error code - 18771.
I tried to directly burn DVD also, and also not successful. Anybody has the same error and how to solve it?
Thanks a lot, and happy new year.

I posted some more experiences with using TOAST on Roxio forum. I thought I'd share them here.
1. 98 video clip limit. I have been helping my parents and some friends to produce un-edited videos after their vacations, etc. And I quickly ran into this 98 video clip limit, to the point I had to produce multiple DVDs for them.
2. Error 18771 issue. This happens if the individual video clips are too long. If I edit the video using FCP or FCE, and produce, say, half an hour of video, put it into a MOV file. Then add it into Toast. It will encounter this issue. So, the way I dealt with it, was to produce shorter video clips. So far it has been working out for me.
3. Between video clips, I am not sure how to do transition. So far, between clips, there is this annoying pause. I would rather, either it just immediately jump to the next clip. Or, out of my own choice, insert some kind of transition. Not sure how to do that. If fellow toast users can point me in the right direction, that will be certainly appreciate it.
4. I have not been able to get the Chapter Markers from FCP to effectively show up and be reflected in Toast as it defines the menus and chapters. Again, this may be because of my own lack of knowledge. If somebody can give me the pointer to do it, again, very much obliged.

Why am I getting this err -Could not complete the Split Extrusion command because of a program error

To recreate this error, draw 2 simple shapes in Illustrator CS6, copy and paste them together as a Shape layer in Photoshop CS6.
Then go to 3D > New 3D Extrusion from Selected Path. I just accept the defaults.
Then go to 3D > Split Extrusion.
The error is thrown at this point. No matter what I do, I can't get it to work.
I've tried rasterizing the shape, but then I get a different error. When I select 3D > New 3D Extrusion from Selected Layer, I get the error: "Could not complete the New 3D Extruions from Selected Layer command because the path is too complex." This is ridiculous. I can't get the 3D to work at all.
Is Photoshop just this buggy or am I trying to do something that should not be possible? If so, the error message certainly should be more helpful than what I'm seeing.

You may have answered my question. I AM using the 64bit version of Illustrator CS6. I had no idea there were bugs in it that affected paths copied and pasted from Illustrator to Photoshop.
A bit more about what I'm trying to accomplish... I'm trying to follow Deke's tutorial (http://www.deke.com/content/dekes-techniques-018-creating-a-3d-pie-chart) which is already difficult since so much has changed between CS5.5 and 6, but then on top of that, I keep getting errors!
So I created the pie chart exactly as he shows and copied and pasted into Photoshop exactly as he does. Before submitting this post, though, I tried drawing just two very simple triangle shapes, copying them both and pasting them into Photoshop as a shape layer. The shapes weren't overlapping, but they were a part of the same shape layer just like the pie chart tutorial.
Thanks for your help. If there is anything else I should try before just giving up because of the 64bit bugs, please let me know.

Error message "could not complete the video frames to layers command because dynamiclink is not avai

So I decided to try my hand at making gifs and so I attempted to upload a video by going to file -> import -> video frames to layers. Before even letting my pick my video it comes up with an error message saying "could not complete the video frames to layers command because dynamiclink is not availible." I then tried file -> open -> and then selected the video and no matter what file type or size I chose I ended up with the same error message.
I looked this problem up and attempted some of the solutions but to no avail. I tried clearing my preferences and restarting photoshop many times in addition to restarting my computer. I also checked to make sure it wasn't being blocked by any firewalls and it wasn't. My opperating system is Windows 7 and I'm using photoshop cs6. I've looked everywhere for an answer to this problem so if anyone is able to help me solve this problem I'd be much obliged.
