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.

  • 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,

  • CS6- FW- When saving file, I get "Could not complete your request"

    In great anticipation, I downloaded the trial version of Fireworks (CS6). I loaded all my custom Styles; Swatches; Symbols; Keyboard Shortcuts...
    Spent a few minutes in my document. When I tried to save my document, I got the same/dreaded dialog (see attachment) I've endured from CS5:
    "Could not complete your request.
    An error occurred."
    Ugh... this is the most frustrating dialog (it isn't very descriptive or prescriptive; and i can't save any of my work). this is a known issue (at least since 2009) and yet they haven't fixed it. this upgrade suddenly is useless to me. Same bug I experience for CS5.
    Any advice/suggestions?
    Thanks in advance,
    Sasha

  • Error? We could not complete your request. What the...?

    I keep getting: "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The network connection was refused."
    The network connection is working fine.
    My software is all up to date. I can log in to the Apple Store, access my account.
    I am logged in to iTunes and access the iTunes store but now I get the error above.
    I rebooted, repaired permissions and restarted.
    I restarted the router/Air port.
    I checked all the network preferences and renewed the DHCP lease.
    Nothing seems to work.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks...

    Hi, I am having exactly the same problem. I have 325 downloads available but every time I try and view them, itunes store logs me off with "network connection lost" I contacted itunes support and they say it must be a problem with my Mac? Problem only started when I upgraded to itunes plus. Hope someone can help?

  • "We could Not Complete Your Request" Error

    Got an email yesterday saying that i'd failed to reset my Apple password even though i havent tried so i was a little concerned, I've tried to connect to my account, I can see the iTunes store fine and download free podcasts that dont require a log in, but if i try to log in to my account i get the error "We could not complete your iTunes store request. The requested resource was not found. There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later." anybody got any ideas?

    I have a similar issue.
    I had major problems with my iMac G5 which required my taking the machine to an Apple Store (still covered by AppleCare). They essentially rebuilt the entire machine. However, when I tried to get back into iTunes, I found that I couldn't play any of the music I had purchased. It told me to re-authorize my machine, but when I tried (and continue to try), I get the message:
    "There was an error in the itunes store. Please try again later."
    I am now in touch with Apple Support via email to see if the can fix the problem. I cannot find the error code I receive anywhere (-9813), and neither can Apple.
    So far, I haven't had any luck either, but if this adds to the pool of information to generate any ideas, this is my story thus far...

  • Im running cs 5.5 and every time i launch the program i get, "could not complete your request becaus

    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Your post is incomplete, so no one can reasonably answer you.
    Standard restorative advice often includes this, however:
    Reset Photoshop Prefereces to defaults.
    To do this, press and hold the Control, Shift, and Alt keys (Command, Shift, and Option on a Mac) immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop.  If you're quick enough - and you have to be extremely quick - Photoshop will prompt you to confirm deletion of your current preferences, which will lead to creation of an brand new, fresh default set.
    Another possibility is:
    Try running without added plug-ins.
    Still another possibility is:
    If you have a Windows system, visit the web site of the maker of your video card to see if they've made a fresh display driver update available, and install it if so.
    Good luck.

  • 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.

  • Could not complete your request because Photoshop Elements cannot recognize the file extension. (-25600)

    im trying to add a water mark to multiple photos but I keep getting  Could not complete your request because Photoshop Elements cannot recognize the file extension. (-25600) error. how do I fix this?

    If you open up editor then expert mode then you click file and the it's manage multiple or something like that. It will pull up a box asking you where you would like to get the photos from. I picked a folder where I just edited the skin tone and then saved it. I'm thinking it has something to do with the way the files save but I'm not sure how to get it to change. But after the box comes up you can add a water mark to all the photos in the folder. I found the video of how to do it on here.

  • Transport Monitor could not complete your request (16)

    Transport Monitor could not complete your request (16) is the message I keep getting lately when I try to hotsync my palm IIIc with my 24inch imac running OSX 10.4.11. I'm also using Keyspan serial adaptor for the palm to a USB port. I've been able to hotsync on this machine before the only thing different was that I unplugged the cable once from the USB port to use a flash drive. Now everytime I try to enable hotsync via the hotsync software setup panel I get the above message.
    Any ideas about what to do? Thanks in advance.
    Post relates to: Palm IIIc

    I have recently been receiving a "Transport Monitor could not complete your request" error, though with the tag (-4960) at the end.  This error appears upon computer startup, ever since I had to reinstall Mac OX 10.5.2 on my computer.  Everything worked fine with the same computer until that reinstallation.  Now, nothing happens on my computer when I try to USB-synch my Treo 680, though it works fine on other computers.
    I have tried repairing disk permissions.  I have also tried deleting all the files for Palm Desktop and reinstalling it.  When I did so, I received the same error message during the installation process!
    What can I do?
    Thanks 
    EDIT: Perhaps relatedly, something seems to be malfunctioning in the HotSync Manager application.  When I open it, the default window with "HotSync Software Setup" does not open.  I can select other menu options (e.g. "Install Handheld Files" ), but if I select "Setup" from the HotSync menu, nothing happens.

  • "Could not complete your request because the path is too complex"

    I'm trying to render 24 characters of text with line breaks in 3D, because, as we know, 3D can be very spiffy... but I get:
    "Could not complete your request because the path is too complex"
    Interesting, I'm on a rocketship workstation with a fairly stealthy config. All is updated to the latest ver., 13.1.2.. Not the greatest card in the world (Quadro 2000), but it seems more than ample for this task..
    It works fine with 9 characters on one line... Ok, possibly (or rather likely) I have too much text (24 characters? Line breaks? Trebuchet?), but frankly, I'd be surpised... What are the limitations here? Tips?
    Thank you!

    In this case, I have photoshop doing all the number crunching through GPU:
    Also, my performace settings (this is 32-bit PS, so it only sees 4GB):
    We'll see what any Adobe folks say, thank you very much for your time and insights!

    Oh, dear.
    If you use PSE as your external editor for iphoto, you need to save the images back to iphoto by using Save, not Save As and not changing anything like the name or format that would bring up the Save As window. (You may need to adjust the editor prefs>saving files>on first save to save over existing.)
    OR you can export the photos from iphoto to the desktop, use file>open in the editor and then change whatever you want and either import the saved image to the organizer or import it back to iphoto as a new file. What you are doing is extremely risky, particularly to the iphoto library which you may easily damage by your workflow.
    I would start the organizer holding down the shift key, then create a new catalog and switch to the new one. Then try opening the editor without opening an image and see if you get any farther.
    PSE and iphoto are not designed to be used as you've been doing. You are trying to write to the iphoto library from outside iphoto, which is the fastest known way to corrupt the library and lose all your photos.
