I am getting a photoshop error could not load photoshop because the preferences file was invalid and cln't load actions because of an unexpected end of file encountered.

I am getting a photoshop error could not load photoshop because the preferences file was invalid and cln't load actions because of an unexpected end of file encountered.

Are you trying to open Photoshop directly, or open it by double clicking on a Photoshop document, like a PSD file?  If the former, then you might need to reinstall.  Resetting Preferences would be the firs step, but I am not sure if that will work if Photoshop is not opening in the first place.
Try doing so anyway.  Hold down Shift Alt Ctrl (Shift Opt Cmd) while opening Photoshop. OK the message to delete Preferences.
If you get the unexpected end of file error while trying to open Photoshop via a PSD document, then there is more than a good chance that that file is toast.
If still stuck, we need to know Operating System, and Photoshop version.

  • Photoshop CC: Could not open Photoshop because of a Program Error. How do I fix this?

    Photoshop CC: Could not open Photoshop because of a Program Error.
    How do I Make sure your OS X user account has Read & Write access for the following path:
    /Users//Library/Preferences/Adobe

    Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details like the actual crash logs. From your description it simply sounds like your graphics hardware is acting up, so update the graphics driver. Likewise, you may simply run out of disk space for the PS scratch file, so check that, too.

  • Can not open photshop CC 2014     ERROR  could not initialize Photoshop because of a program error

    Hi
    I can not open Photshop CC 2014
    ERROR
    could not initialize Photoshop because of a program error

    I've had the same error happen to me.  I deleted the preferences file, updated JAVA, etc.  none of which worked.
    I've spent days systematically working to isolate the variable that seems to make Photoshop work one day and "not initialize" the next.  I simply can't afford to stop work when Photoshop doesn't want to initialize due to: PSOWLListenerProxyBaseCocoa.mm : 52 : REQUIRE failed
    Apologies, but I REQUIRE YOU TO INITIALIZE!
    I think that I've isolated the problem.  I have a dual monitor set-up.  Sometimes I use the second monitor and sometimes I don't, sometimes monitor 2 is powered on and sometimes it's not.  It's really the only thing with any variance on my system.  I disconnected my second monitor.  Then I clicked the Photoshop icon and the program opened...
    I am running OS X 10.9 and Photoshop CS 5.1
    There appears to be a link between Photoshop not wanting to initialize and Graphics Card / Monitors. 

  • HT5622 When trying to sign in to Face Time, I continually get Face Time Activation "Could not sign in.  Please check your network connection and try again"  I have reset my Apple ID and my Password and I am successfully logging into Safari.  What am I doi

    When trying to sign in to Face Time, I continually get "Face time Activation"  "Could not sign in.  Please check your network connection and try again".  I am able to access the internet via Safari, so my network connection seems to be working.  What am I doing wrong, and how can I access Face Time?

    Hey sklingen,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues signing into FAceTime. The following article may help to resolve your issue:
    iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268
    You may also want to reset your network settings:
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Note: this will delete any network related settings (saved Wi-Fi passwords, etc), it will not erase any content from your device.
    Thanks,

  • I am trying to sign into iMessage. Error--Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again.

    I am trying to sign into iMessage. Error--Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again.

    Any other thoughts, mario49?
    I've no trouble connecting to or using iMessage on my iPhone or my iPad; and no trouble accessing iTunes, the iTunes Store, the (iOS) App Store from my iOS devices, the (OS X) App Store from my MBP.  So, my Apple ID is still functioning just fine, thank you very much and my network connection is not an issue.
    My hosts file has not been tampered with, and I'm not blocked by any firewalls--the failures occur where ever I am.
    This issue has been happening only for the last 2 days, but I'm completely locked out of Messages from my MBP.
    So, what's the deal?

  • "Could not purchase album. The network connection was reset."

    I have been trying to download the Pokemon X&Y soundtrack from iTunes for about a week now, and every single time I get one of two messages... "Could not purchase [album]. The network connection was reset. Make sure your network connection is active and try again." will appear when clicking "buy" before I can even put my username and password in. Occasionally it will let me put in my username, but then takes me to a slightly different box that I can't get it to do right now, but it says something to the effect of "Unable to download album. The connection was reset."
    I looked on the Apple Support site and took its suggestion of performing a DNS flush, but that didn't change anything. I do not have the most reliable internet here, but I just downloaded an album a couple weeks ago on this network so it has worked before.
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    I have also been trying to download the album from my phone. I will click buy, it will say downloading for a minute, and then the buy button will just reappear. I try to click it again and I get a notice that my account is temporarily unavailable... what is going on??

  • SSRS Database Configuration Manager Error - Could not connect to server: The type initializer for 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection' threw an exception

    I'm Getting the "Could not connect to server: The type initializer for 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection' threw an exception" Error on an existing Instance of SSRS that had been working previously (lots of installs/patches since).
    Any time I try to hit the "Test Connection" button on existing connections or create new ones from the SSRS Config Mgr., it throws that error.
    I know the SQL Server connectivity works (I have SSMS installed on there and can cut and paste server Login to connect). The problem is I can't really get any more details on the error...Event Viewer isn't logging anything, I have upped the trace level
    to 4 in the reportingservicesservice.config file, I have even watched it with procmon and nothing obvious pops up.
    Let me know if anyone else has been down this path and what they have tried.

    Hi BillOlive,
    Based on my research, the issue may be related to user access permission. You can refer to the following method to troubleshooting the issue:
    Open C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG folder | right click on the machine.config file | Properties | Security | make sure your domain account has FULL CONTROL permission on this file.
    If above steps still do not work, please backup your machine.config file to somewhere else and replace with the attached one from my Windows Server 2008 environment.
    Alternatively, app.config file also may cause the same issue. There is a similar issue, you can refer to it.

  • 10g Admin/Desktop error :could not locate or parse the .dbc file error

    Hi there,
    can any one help me how to fix this error i get this while connecting to Discoverer Admin/Desktop edition 10g ver 10.1.2
    Unable to connect to: username@crp2
    Failed to connect to database - could not locate or parse the .dbc file
    c:\oracle\BIToolsHome_1\discoverer\secure\us-oracle3.dbc corresponding to the given Oracle Applications instance
    i had created the system environment variable FND_SECURE and i've placed the .dbc files in the folder (C:\oracle\BIToolsHome_1\discoverer\secure)
    but, i still get error
    Thanks,
    Max

    Hi Russ
    Here's some additional info from my own library:
    1. Set or check the following registry settings on your Admin PC:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Oracle\Discoverer 10\Database\EnableTriggers should be DWORD with a value of 1
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Oracle\Discoverer 10\Database\DefaultPreserveDisplayPropertyForRefresh should be a DWORD with a value of 1
    2. You need to create for yourself a folder called SECURE under your ORACLE folder:
    e.g. mkdir c:\oracle\secure
    3. Copy the DBC File from the E-Business Suite database and place it in the secure directory. It will be located in the TOP directory in the database.
    4. Create a Windows System Variable FND_SECURE with the value as in step 2 above: e.g. c:\oracle\secure
    5. Update your %ORACLE_HOME%/network/admin/tnsnames.ora to include an entry for the E-Business Suite database. The database name must match the two_task entry in the dbc file.
    6. You may have to rename the dbc file so that it matches the name by which you are referring to that database in your TNS Names file
    Does this help?
    Best wishes

  • Error message for Photoshop CC2014:  Could  not initialize Photoshop because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered

    Any suggestions as to how to fix?
    I uninstalled and then re-installed with no success
    Running Windows 7 Pro
    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.
