How do I fix "Could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid JPEG marker type is found"?

Could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid JPEG marker type is found
The above messagecomes up on a lot of my photoshop files that have been recovered from a damaged disk - can this be fixed?
Thanks, Phil.

That's a pretty good indication that the data inside the files is corrupted.
You *might* be able to get some of the image back by opening it in different tools that can open JPEGs.  But very likely none will be able to recover all the image data perfectly.
Check Irfan View as a viewer with some resiliency for opening corrupted files.

  • Error: Could not complete your request because an unknown command was encountered.

    I've been working on a file in FreeHand 11 for a few months
    now, and for some reason after saving and closing the file about a
    week ago, I can no longer open it - on either of my computers (both
    PCs, one running XP, one running Vista). When I attempt to do so, I
    am presented with the following error message:
    Could not complete your request because an unknown command
    was encountered.
    Is there any possible way to fix this?

    Haha. I know. I was stupid... The last backup of the file is
    four months old. Unfortunately I've done quite a lot of work on it
    since then...
    One interesting thing though, is that I can still see the
    thumbnail picture in Windows Explorer. Also, I'm able to open the
    file with Fireworks, but none of the hidden layers (most of my
    work) are there.
    I just tried to open it again on my desktop. Same error
    message (but in German)...:
    "Ihre Anforderung konnte nicht ausgeführt werden. Ein
    unbekannter Fehler ist aufgetreten." :S

  • Error Message - "could not complete your request because the preset contains invalid data"

    I am trying to open a file, and every time I do it comes up with the following error message:
    "Could not complete your request because the preset contains invalid data"
    I am using Photoshop CS4 on a Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.2.
    I have tried:
    - restarting my mac
    - opening different files created at different times
    - deleting photoshop from my app folder and the app support folder from my /username/library/application support/adobe/ folder and copied them back from a Time Machine backup from a few days ago.
    I was using Photoshop all day today with absolutely no problems. I have searched Google and this forum and have come up short. No one has this exact error anywhere.
    Any help? Thanks so much in advance!

    The one thing you didn't do is reset your Photoshop preferences.
    Most likely the preferences got corrupted, and reference a corrupt preset.

  • Could not complete your request because of missing or invalid user personalization information on Vista?

    I recently tried to install PhotoShop CS4 on a Vista machine.  I could not get it to activate, found out from Adobe that it was a bad serial number.  So, I uninstalled it, and tried to reinstall my good old standby - Creative Suite 1.0.  This has worked for YEARS!
    Now, I get the error "could not complete your request because of missing or invalid user personalization information" when I try to launch PhotoShop 8.0.  All other applications of the Creative Suite are working.  There is no serial number posting in the window of PhotoShop when I launch it.
    I am sure it is something in the registry.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times with no success.
    Can anyone help?
    Thank you,
    Jennifer

    You need to run the CS4 clean script to remove traces of the installation.

  • Could not complete your request because of missing or invalid personal information.

    After installing Photoshop Elements in osx 10.6.4 I try to launch and receive the error "Could not complete your request because of missing or invalid personal information." I have deleted and re-installed with the same results.

  • I have an existing disk of elements 3 which I loaded onto my Mac desktop.  When loading onto my Mac book, I receive a "could not complete your request because of missing or invalid personalization information". Why?

    I have loaded elements 3, from disk, on my mac desktop, when loading onto my macbook i get a message "could not complete your request because of missing or invalid personalization information".  Why?

    Thank you for your fast reply!
    Sorry, I am not savvy enough to know what a serial is!  Guess that means stealing it.  No, that is not me.
    Hmm...
    I thought sure it was free with the computer, along with a whole package of other stuff.  It was a sale/special.  Everything else still works, except the Photoshop.  I bought the Mac new at the Mac store in Marin County...
    Maybe it came with the printer I bought too...? Who knows now.
    The computer is several years old (copyright 1983)  and I had money then!  LOL!  It's the economy, my dear!
    Do not understand 'software'... I just use the computer. I told you I am a technophobe!
    You must be young:  I am very old, and did not grow up with computers.
    But now from your reply, I think it must have been a free sample, or whatever...  or I am confused!
    I have IPhoto... that must be what came free with the Mac.  But it doesn't work either.  I get a message: need to upgrade, but then it says it is not responding...
    Anyway, thanks again!
    P.S.   As I said, I had everything stolen, and do not have any registration info.
    But I appreciate your reply.

  • Fixing "Could not complete your request because the file is empty."

    Why am I getting this message? I don't get it on my iMac but only on my MacBook. I tried opening in Photoshop CC and CS6 with no luck. Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    If you look at file in Finder with MacBook is it empty?

  • Error: Could not complete your request because of missing or invalid personal information

    I'm using photoshop 7.0 with windows Vista and I keep getting that error message when I try to launch the program. I lost my cd. Is there a work around to fix this issue beside reinstalling application?

    Your best bet would be going to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features and double-clicking Adobe Photoshop. It has a "Repair" and an "Uninstall" button, so maybe you can try clicking "Repair" and it won't ask for a CD? Make sure you have backups of your settings and extensions if possible!
    Other than uninstalling the program altogether, I can't think of any other way to fix Photoshop without it starting up first. Good luck!

  • Could not complete your request because an unknown command was encountered

    So I'm working on a file, I close it, then I can't re-open
    it. Bizarrely, the same file WILL open on another PC OK. (a puny
    IBM ThinkPad)
    This is deeply frustrating as it's a file I've been working
    on for days.
    Help me please!

    Did you have 'Remember layer info' turned on in Preferences
    when you created
    the group?
    I have had document corruption when a complex group was made
    of a number of
    nested groups. The subgroups were saved with 'remember layer
    info' on. The
    group went through several revisions, while the layers in the
    subsequent
    documents had the same layer names but were in various
    orders. Some elements
    were added via the Paste Behind command.
    This shouldn't cause a problem, except that when you do
    ungroup, bits and
    pieces are going to go to unexpected layers.
    For this reason, I usually work with 'Remember layer info'
    off, and only
    turn it on when I need it for a specific purpose.
    Did you have 'remember layer info' set the same way on both
    computers?

  • "Error: Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop document." How can I fix this on a mac?

    I was working on a project and I closed it after saving and closed photoshop. Then later when I came to make another adjustment to my PSD I opened the file and it said "Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop document." How can I fix this? I didn't shut off my mac while saving it. Someone please help

    Okay, I just talked to the person that originated the document.
    When this usually happens to me, it's because I've done something stupid like saved a .jpeg as a .psd. So that's what I tried. I tried a few other extensions as well, so I thought that it was not an extension problem. Well, the originator told me it had originally been a TIFF, which was the ONE FILE EXTENSION I DIDN'T TRY. :\
    Anyway, that fixed it. Usually this error indicates either a corrupt file or the wrong extension, just in case anyone ever digs this convo up later.

  • How do I fix this error? "Could not complete your request because DynamicLink is not available?

    I tried to update and it keeps telling me to get the Application Manager. And this is what happens
    Adobe Application Manager failed and it told me to download the Adobe Support Advisor.

    I followed the instructions it gave me to correct this issue:
    If you receive the error "Installer has detected that a machine restart is pending. It is recommended that you quit the installer, restart try again," do the following:
    #Restart the computer and try the installation again.
    #If the installation fails, delete the InProgress registry key:

  • 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
    Only Been using it
    saying ' could not complete your request because file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements'
    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

  • I keep getting a message saying "Could not complete your request because of a program error"

    I keep getting a message saying ( Could not complete your request because of a program error??
    Does anyone know what this means or how to fix?

    blucoast,
    Can you please be more detailed? When are you getting this - what is causing it? Any specific tool or while starting Photoshop itself?
    Do you see an error number or error code or a report? Can you post that here?

  • What causes "Could not complete your request because of a program error"?

    I am trying to edit some pictures from a recent shoot and every time I try to open one a message pops up saying, " Could not complete your request because of a program error." What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    Welcome to this forum!
    I’m happy to help but can do a better job if I have more information about your situation.
    What version of Photoshop do you have?
    What is the make and model of the camera you used for the shoot?
    Could you also include a screenshot of your entire screen as the error message pops up? To include a screenshot in your post, click the word “Reply” below the post you’re reading right now and then click the camera picture to embed the image.

  • Could not complete your request because of a program error photoshop cs4

    My first frustration right now is that I can't search the forums... anyone got an answer to that? on the right hand side (if I'm logged in) I type in a search for anything and it always shows no search results found! Why? is the search function not working?
    Anyway, my problem is that when I try to save a multi-layered psd file into psd or jpg I get this error message: "Could not complete your request because of a program error."
    What is causing it?
    I checked for updates and PS is up-to-date. I restarted, and it worked great for about 3 saves (different pictures). (I'm basically running through some shots and just doing a quick levels and curves adjustment and running an action putting in my name watermark.)
    After that quick edit and trying to save - same error message again.
    It started suddenly yesterday - after having used PS for about 1.5 years without a problem. I haven't done any changes to it as far as I'm aware.
    Any one seen this before, or have a solution to this?
    Thanks!
    Computer specs:
    Windows 7 Pro - 64-bit
    12 GB Ram
    750 GB OS hdd where PS is installed
    2 TB Media drive where the files are being pulled up from/saved to.
    Intel i7 x980 3.33 GHz
    GeForce GTX 470 with 1280 MB dedicated memory
    Logged in as administrator.

    Did you update or change or plug-in or remove anything else on your computer just before it happened?  Photoshop relies on other system libraries to do things and maybe one of those changed.
    No, I did not change anything; I was editing pictures - from a quadding trip where they asked me to shoot for them - and suddenly I started getting the message on most pictures.
    Hard drives are not nearly full. (.99 TB free on media drive and 588 GB free on OS {C} Drive)
    scandisk error check? I probably need that.. (I've had some problems with BSOD and had the BIOS corrupted recently that I had to flash the BIOS again. Could that cause something like this?)
    How do you reset preferences? Is it the Ctrl + Shift + Alt key immediately after PS starts? I did that and it didn't fix it.
    Saving in odd location? No, I don't think so; I save to the same place I save other stuff and I have a solid directory base and I always follow the same procedures. I save back into the same folder I open the file from and save back to the same filename + "edit". That way I can compare side by side and have a backup copy of the file.
    The only USB device plugged into the computer is a logitech wireless combo of keyboard and mouse. (And a wired USB keyboard that sits to the side and that I use only when the batteries in my wireless dies.
    I can't think of anything that has changed that would cause PS to act like this.
    If I can't get it working soon, I'll re-install. I have the Production Premium CS4 version - can I just reinstall PS or would I have to do the whole suite?
    Thanks!
    PS. I don't know if I was clear enough on what I'm doing: I open anywhere from 1 - 20 pictures at once, and then do a quick level or curve adjustment and save to a different file name. The confusing thing is - some pictures I have no problem with, but others - even though I do exactly the same thing - this error message comes up. I'd say about half of my 107 pictures from the quadding trip refused to save.
    It almost makes it seem like some pictures are corrupt or something - and yet, I'd be really surprised to have soo many corrupted images suddenly.
