Could not initialize Photoshop because an unexpected end-of-file was encountred.

I have a problem with Photoshop, I can run it and work in it. After the start of reports this error message: Could not initialize Photoshop because an unexpected end-of-file was encountred.
I do not know we mopped PC, defragment, and uninstall of Photoshop installed. You do not know what to do?

Try resetting your preferences. If that doesn't work, consider a complete uninstall and reinstall.

    Thanks

    That message is indicative of a corrupted file.
    Since you've already tied re-installing, the Photoshop preferences file comes to mind.  Re-installing without first removing the Preferences file is futile, as you end up right back where you started.

  • I have this message today: Could not load actions because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered.

    i have this message today and I don’t know what to do, I have PS CC : Could not load actions because an unexpected end of file was encountered

    See whether a reset of Preferences solves 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.

  • What to do when Photoshop says could not import clipboard because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered

    I have PC, with adobe Photoshop CC 2014 and windows 8. Every time I open Photoshop it says: could not import the clipboard because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered. If I exit the message I still cannot create files or open anything... any suggestions?

    When you load Action and when you create new actions they are saved into you Photoshop Preferences into Actions Palette.psp.  This File is read when you start Photoshop.
    Apple and Microsoft both like to hide important files on users.  Windows search and Apple finder will not find and show hidden files unless you change Mac and Windows setting.  I you getting the error when you start Photoshop there is a shortcut to reset preferences. Hold down Alt, Ctrl, and Shift keys (Mac: Command, Option, Shift) while starting up Photoshop you should be prompted to for an OK to delete preferences.
    If this keeps happening perhaps you have a bad spot on your disk.  Loaded actions are saved into that file so they should show up in the Actions Palette when Photoshop Start Up and read that file during start up. Photoshop Writes that file when you load action sets, when you record and edit actions and most likly also when you close down Photoshop.

  • CS5 won't start - "Could not load actions because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered"

    It's version 12.0.2. When I click ok, it says "Could not initialize photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted)".
    Any ideas what I could do to get the program to start? I've restarted the machine several times.

    I managed to sort this out now - by deleting preferences

  • When trying to open in external editor I get this warning when going to Photoshop CS6: Could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered.

    Aperture: When trying to open in external editor I get this warning when going to Photoshop CS6: Could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered. I can export and open via Photoshop or open directly from file-just not through external editor. Gerry

    Hi gerry,
    does this happen for a particular image only, or for all images?
    And does this happen only from your account or also from other user accounts?

  • File Error: could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered

    I saved a painting I was working on in photoshop for the past week, went to open it up this morning and got the following error: could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered.
    I tried opening it up in other programs with no luck. Any suggestions?

    Probably not good news I'm afraid. Hopefully you use Time Machine to keep regular backups of your work?
    Have you tried to open the file in Graphic Converter (shareware application)?
    I find file corruption practically non-existant these days. I would suggest that you maintain your machine. This can be done with Onyx http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html. Run all the tasks in the "automation" section of this application. 
    If you can do a drive check - checking your hard drive for physical issues might also be a good idea. 

  • "Could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered."

    I have gotten this error message a few times now. "Could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered."
    My file many layers... a total of 100mgs+.  But I work with this kind of file often, so... hmm. It won't open.  Is it corrupted?  Any way to restore?  I can go back in time with our 'time machine program... but that brings me back to having a previous version and many hours of lost work. 
    I use a Mac OS x 10.5.8, Photoshop version 6 from the 2003 CS suite. 
    Thanks for any input or advice.  Rebecca Doyle

  • "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.

    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.

  • CS 5.1 Mac....  Could not initialize Photoshop because of a program error.

    CS 5.1 Mac....  'Could not initialize Photoshop because of a program error.'
    I changed my security preferences and still get the same thing poping up.  I am not able to open PS CS5.1 on my mac.
    What should I do or even where do I go if I need to re-install CS 5.1? I have my Lic#

    I don't think the application installation would be corrupt because I uninstalled and re-installed according to adobe and all the times I did so, it was from adobe website.  and I am thinking about the OS, if that were corrupt, a lot more applications, ... would be giving me problems.
    It is only PS. I am almost at wit's end trying to solve this issue. I would have thought re-insatlling program (prob did this about 10 times), would solve any issues.  I did use the cc cleaner but only yesterday as a last resort. I just don't know where to go with this problem.
    when 1st happened I just uninstalled and reinstalled a few times and when that didn't solve anything, also then ran utility programs a few times.all the while deleted prefs

  • Could not initialize Photoshop because the file is locked

    I have the problem where you get the Could not initialize Photoshop because the file is locked, where the solution was to fix the properties in the jpg. I did that and tried the Ctrl-Alt-Shft thing too. I pressed them in time and got the message to delete the settings. When I click yes, I still get the "file locked" message. If it is the scratch disk setting problem, I can't get PS open to change it. This problem started when I was opening a locked jpg from a relative. (Now none of my previous pics will open either). Any other ideas other than these that are already listed in the forums? Thanks for any help.
    Technical: Windows XP 5.1, HP7680, Photoshop CS2, 2g ram, more than enough work drives. (no Vista)
    Sequence of events: 1) recd a jpg from a relative in an email and saved it to hard drive. 2) with Photoshop unopened, I rt clkd on the jpg and chose "open with CS2". 3) PS started loading and then stopped with the "file locked" msg. Clkd on OK and PS closed. 4) tried to open PS from the shortcut (and from explorer) and got same result. 5) researched the problem and then used the Ctrl-Alt-Shft approach, got the window that asks to "delete settings" and chose ok, PS closed again. 6) went to the jpg and displayed properties and saw "This file came from another computer and might be locked....", so I clicked "unblock". 7) retried step 2, then 4 with same results. 7) tried to open an old jpg with step 2 and same result (got file locked msg). 8) no longer can bring up the "delete settings" window with the the Ctrl-Alt-Shft approach as it looks like it deleted the settings the 1st time.
    Any ideas???? Thanks again.

    Bob,
    I do not know why a locked JPG would mess up PS. I could see if you always tried to launch PS, by dbl-clicking on the JPG in Windows Explorer, but not from your Desktop shortcut, or from the PS.exe file.
    For the locked file, there is a freeware utility, Unlocker. I do not have a URL handy, but Google should find it for you. It has worked on some network assets, that seemed to lock up on me.
    Good luck, though this might not address your PS launch issue.
