CS6 Does not open file due to program error

I have been using CS6 for quite sometime with no much issues at all. All the sudden, today, without any changes being made in my computer (iMAC IOS 10.9) the software stopped opening files when I went FILE/OPEN and selecting the file to open (jpg).
CS6 opens "finder" and then quickly the finder window dissapears (so no time to make any selection,,this is not related to a type of file since...I can never get to even select one..) and the message "Could not complete your request because of a program error". The only option is to click OK and that is it....
I now need to go and open finder and then navigate through to the file and the right click and choose Open with CS6 (anf the file opens)....
Any ideas about this? like I said..nothing has been done (except the lates PS update a couple of days ago ver. 13.0
Thanks,
Alex Viademonte

I tried reseting the Photoshop presets (which takes a lot of practice but
eventually got a "do you want to delete the Photoshop Presets" which I
did.... no changes with the behavior when trying to Open a location from
photoshop...
then I read about turning off Coverflow (but the only instructions I could
see were for Safari 4 ....and I'm running Safari 7".... anyway, is this
instruction supposed to be typed as one single instruction when accessing
Terminal ?
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4IncludeFlowViewInBookmarksView
-bool NO
everywhere I look it seems as two separate commands like this... but
I couldn't get Terminal to type in two different lines.... so I typed
it altogether.
defaults write com.apple.Safari
DebugSafari4IncludeFlowViewInBookmarksView -bool NO -
at any rate,,, the problem is still there....
Once again, upgrading the software is NOT always a good idea.... clearly
the Apple guys ......got some issues here....

Photoshop CS6 does not open files

I am trying to get Photoshop CS6 on my PC running under Windows 8 to open files. The open dialog box comes up, but it is frozen and I end up having to CTRL ALT DEL and end the task to get out of it. This has only happened since the last update. I noticed that people had this problem back in 2013 but there was no answers given. I am unable to open any file and therefore not really able to use Photoshop.

Ok. What I'm about to suggest is Uninstall-Clean-Reinstall
Read this Help Document, follow the instructions and download the Cleaner tool.
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Uninstall
Run the CS/CC Cleaner. It will remove anything the uninstall missed. Those could be problem files or registry entries that are fouling things up.
After you clean do a fresh Reinstall.
Hopefully that fixes it.

PSE9 does not open – cannot initialize because program error?

Hello all,
I have Photoshop Elements 9 installed on my computer (MacBook Pro running Lion). However, I had not used it for a couple of months because I was using the CS6 beta, which finally expired. When I tried to open PSE9, the splash screen loads fine and finishes loading everything, but when it disappears I get a dialog of "Cannot open Photoshop Elements because of a program error."
This is while running on my main admin account. It opens normally on another admin account which I do not use often, except for some text encoding issues which were not present before.
I tried repairing permissions, but no luck.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you very much.

Hi,
Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
Solution 1:
1. Close Elements.
2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down CMD + alt/option + shift as you click Editor.
3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
Solution 4: Remove tha TWAIN plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else if you have moved it in past.
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/twain-installed-photoshop-elements-9.html
Now launch PSE and check if it works.
Any further info and clear steps would help further if not sorted. Also just to be on safe side if you can edit your admin name with normal letters (and not any localized one like in german or french) amd then try.
Thanks,
Garry

PSE 9 suddenly will not open pse files - due to "program error"

The program was working fine yesterday and now suddenly will not open pse files created yesterday or today. The error message reads "could not complete action due to program error." Am I going to need to deactivate and reinstall - and if so, how do I do that? Will I lose all brushes loaded into presets, all files currently unable to be opened if I do that?

I have the same or at least similar issue - When try
ing to open a Photoshop Elements 9 slideshow I get this message
"This application has requested the Runtime
to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact
this application's support team for further assistance" I first saw this problem today - can't think of why now. I've had the program since last Christmas.
I sure would like a solution as I'm in the midst of a project with it.

Photoshop CS6 will not open files

Right after rebooting my computer (Windows 7 Pro) I can open one photo file in CS6 using any normal method of opening a file in Photoshop. After closing that file I cannot open any more files using any method such as>Open Recent, File>Open, or right click open using Photoshop, by selecting the file, double-clicking to open it etc. I also cannot open a file in photoshop CS6 from Lightroom 5 using Photo>Edit In> Photoshop CS6. Everything works in Lightroom when I use Photo>Edit>open in CS6 Photoshop opens but the file doesn't.
If I reboot my computer I can then open one file using any of those methods, but when I try to open an additional file it will not open. I have run through all the opening Photoshop without plugins suggestions and all the other suggestions about what may cause this problem which I have found on Photoshop Help and Support Center and nothing has worked.
This started while Lightroom 4.4 and CS6 were on my machine and had been working well for months. Then, suddenly, I couldn't open anything in Photoshop. I know of no changes made to the computer. After trying various suggested solutions I reinstalled Photoshop CS6 and things seemed to be working so I went ahead with updating to Lightroom 5. The same problem popped up in CS6 again. Lightroom 5 and Lightroom 4.4 have both worked with no problems and still do. Photoshop seems to be the problem. I've also run an antivirus which found nothing.
Any suggestions?

Others have this same problem. See discussion at Re: Photoshop CS6 does not open or create files
I finally got CS6 to work but have no idea what I did that caused it to start working properly again.

Adobe Reader XI does not open files with a command line "path" argument. Version X and lower all worked fine. I have deleted and reinstalled the program with no success. Is this a bug?

Hi Daniel,
What is the make of the printer and is it using PCL or PS driver.?
Do you have Acrobat installed on this machine as well?
Please check if 'Print Spooler' service is running on the machine.

I REINSTALL 10 TIMES SO DON'T TELL ME THAT!!!
I'm piss because i need firefox working again so i can finish reseaching my speech in 5 days.

Which files do you have in the defaults\pref folder in the Firefox program folder?
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
See also "Other solutions":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 22.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

I got a new Macbook pro in March and transferred all of my old files into the new macbook from my old one. But ever since then, my iPhoto just does not open up. It says 'error' every time I try to open it, but I am still able to attach the iPhotos saved

I got a new Macbook pro in March and transferred all of my old files into the new macbook from my old one. But ever since then, my iPhoto just does not open up. It says 'error' every time I try to open it, but I am still able to attach the iPhotos saved to emails. Help! How do I get my iPhoto back?

Thanks, Sig.
The old computer is a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
The new one is a 2.3 GHz intel core i7
In going over this, thanks to "tallking it out" with you, I did discover the Text Edit problem. Because I've still been unable to get the new computer text size (fonts or whatever) to match the old computer, I did not notice that the curser is now different--the line midway down the curser has to be placed on the line I am working upon, otherwise the edits go elsewhere on the page. Now, with a bit of difficulty, I am able to get Text Edit to work correctly.
If you have any ideas as to why my menu bar and Text Edit type are still so slow, I'd love to have them.
(I went through the process you suggested earlier, re my Trackpad preferences, and found no improvement.)

Extended CS6 trial Bug ends..and now CS6 does not open

Another brilliant move by adobe. First they suggest they inadvertently included a bug that required one to manually decline the extended version every time CS6 is open;now the "trial" ends and CS6 does not open. Is this what we expect from adobe? Maybe so, I guess.

There actually is a way to update Photoshop without running it.
You might visit the following pages, for example:
Edit: Hopefully these links are fixed now.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?platform=Windows&product=39
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?platform=Macintosh&product=39
Of course, these links don't help Creative Cloud users at all. I guess they're expected to use the Application Manager.
