Could not complete your request - But I never asked !

Quite simply, I seem to get periods where my PSE 6 all of a sudden jumps up proclaiming "Could not complete your request because of program error" when I've been doing something in an entirely different application, like an audio editor . . and not using PSE 6 at all !
Anybody else get this ?
And if so, is there anything I can do short of a reinstall ?
My install disc is currently among possessions I can't access for awhile these days.
Thanks !

Hmm . . .
I go to "username>library>preferences" and find Photoshop Elements 3.0 Paths & Photoshop Elements 3.0 Settings !, But no 6 ?!
I did indeed have PSE 3, but it's stashed away in a folder within applications, certainly not open or in the dock.
And Opera preferences is full of mostly empty folders.
Hang on ! . . . I just found that PSE 6 Paths & settings are listed as Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 Paths, so they're there as well.
I may be confused now.

Tried to "Open As" in PS a NEF file I modified in LR. Got the following error message: "Could not complete your request because the file format module cannot parse the file." I can "Open" the file in PS, but then the changes I made in LR (and saved in the associated meta data file with the "Control S" command) are not applied to the opened PS file. HELP!

If you are working with a file you modified in Lightroom, you should go to the Lightroom Photo menu and choose Edit in... and the version of Photoshop you want to open it in.
There a dialog will ask if you want to transfer the LR settings you made to your photo when you open in Photoshop.

…photoshop need a recovery or auto save system.
tworules,
You haven't mentioned the exact version of Photoshop you are running. As the always helpful and knowledgeable JJMack told you, new versions of Photoshop do have auto save and recovery when enabled in your Photoshop Preferences.
However, no auto recovery and/or autosave is a match for a defective machine. As suggested by Mr. Cox, you should do a thorough inspection of all your hardware ASAP.

How do i fix this, i have only been using Photoshop elements 11 on my computer, now it's saying ' could not complete your request because file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements' BUT I HAVE ONLY BEEN USING THIS PHOTOSHOP.

Photoshop Elements 11

What do i do

Which operating system are you running on?
Do you get this error when loading or using the organizer or the editor?
What are you trying to do when you get this error?
If you are using raw files, which camera (make and model) do you use to create the raw files?
If you can load the editor, which version of camera raw do you have loaded? - see Help -> about Plug-in -> Camera raw

[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

Does Save As-work?

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.

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 get this error when trying to open "obj" files exported in various 3D programs. I looked up a few similar questions about this error message but the don't seem to relate to me since this installation of PS is new and I never had a previous version on this computer. Also, I tried a somewhat newer and better video card than I had before and I'm still getting this error message.
Here is my system info. Any help is appreciated!

Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photosho

I just tried to open a file that I had saved last night and I got the message:
"Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop."
Normally I would just chalk it up to a corrupt file and redo the project but I've had this happen to me 5 or 6 times in the past two weeks. I dont know what to do!
Things I've tried that haven't work:
Opening in ImageReady and Gimp, changing file extention to .tiff, dropping into photoshop as smart object, opening in Illustrator, re-installing photoshop, deleting old actions/plug-ins that might glitch up the system.
I just started a new job and I'm working on a 2.5GHz Mac Mini (OSX ver. 10.7.4) with Photoshop CS6 (16-bit).
I am NOT saving over a server or anything like that.
I did NOT close photoshop too quickly last night.
I do NOT have any Nortan Anti-virus anything.
I've spend hours reading up on this and every fix that I've found doesn't work.
I've been using photoshop for YEARS and I've NEVER had this problem before.
Please HELP!

There is a problem with the latest update, Mac, and saving a PSD file. Apparently it may not open in CS6, but will open in other versions. They are working on patch.

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.

Getting "Could not complete your request" error all the time

Whenever I try to do anything in Fireworks CS6 (CC desktop version) I get the error message "Could not complete your request. An error occurred". The only exception is when I try to preview an image I get "Could not render the database. An error occurred"
This literally happens with any action, from opening a file to changing any attribute of an object (e.g. colour, position, size). Try to draw a new object - same error. Delete one - same error.
Weirdly it does seem to complete the action after I "Ok" the error message.
Any ideas?
I am running this on Mac OSX 10.9.1 on a pretty new MacBook Pro. I've checked for updates and I'm running the latest version. (I'm running the trial version, as I am trying to decide whether or not to switch over to CC from my desktop apps, but I would hope it is the same as the full commercial version)

For me the Fireworks stopped when it got to "Intializing Tab Windows", then a crashed and displayed "Could not complete your request. an error occurred" and would never load. Basically dead. I couldn't use it at all. My whole workfow came to a stand still.Fireworks-Error.jpg
BACKGROUND
Just before this happened, I was trying a new feature from within Dreamweaver. While inside Dreamweaver, I could double-click an image file and it opened in my Fireworks to be edited. I thought . . . Wow, this is really cool. I edited that image and closed it and continued on my work. Since then, that "Connection" between applications has become permanent. Fireworks "THINKS" it is still connected to Dreamweaver. Later Fireworks would NOT open/load at. I would always get the above error.
PARTIAL SOLUTION
BTW: I had to do this twice, because the first time, I missed a file somewhere.
I had to completely uninstall all ADOBE applications. I mean everything! I had CS3 & CS4 and Adobe Readers on my system.
Since I'm on the mac, I went through the "Application Support" both user and system and the "Preferences" for both user and system and deleted everything that had either "adobe" or "macromedia" in it. There was also a file in the "Launch Agent & Daemons".
I emptied the trash and did a power off restart. Then I reinstalled CS6. Now Fireworks at least loads and I can use it again, but it still isn't the same.
OBSERVATION
Fireworks and Dreamweaver are still "Connected". It won't save an existing PNG file as itself, it displays an error, "That file is open in another application", which is NOT true. I have to use the "Save As" option, and use the Finder to rename that file. I also notice an extra file labeled ex:0000056 which looks like the file I tried to save.
So at least I can use my Fireworks again although it is irritating. I don't know how to "CUT" the connection between applications. Uninstalling & reinstalling did NOT reset this, the only option left would be a backup, wipe and fresh install of my entire laptop. I just don't have time to do that right now. Hope that helps someone else.

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.

"could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered. what can i do?

I've been working on a motion file in photoshop for my thesis and i tried opeining it today and it wont let me open the file. it says "could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered".
I've saved the file every 5 minutes or whenever I do work but now i cant even open it at all. I NEED HEEEEEELP PLEASE!

If it is in the forums (and actually, all over the place on the web) and it is a Photoshop issue in both Windows and Mac, I just assumed is.
The unexpected eof could be a hardware issue or possibly owed to individual set-ups as it is not an issue that plagues all (or even an ostensible majority of) users.
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.

CS4, Save PNG: "Could not complete your request. An error occurred."

Using Fireworks CS4 (v10.0.3.011), when I have been working on an image for a long time, with a long undo history list, if I attempt to save the image as a PNG, I receive an error "Could not complete your request. An error occurred."
I am on Windows XP SP3 (32-bit). This error typically occurs when page file usage is around 2.4GB.
If there is a limit to how much RAM/pagefile Fireworks can use, can a warning not be implemented?
eg. you are about to pass the point of no return, at which stage your document will become unsaveable.
Is there no way undo history can be purged while an image is open?
This would dramatically reduce RAM/pagefile usage and potentially make the image saveable again.

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.

Could not complete your request - But I never asked !
