I cannot save in Editor.... error message = program error preview cannot be generated.

I cannot save changes in Editor when I work with a picture.
Could not build a preview because of a program error.

Photoshop has no editor so I assume you are working with Photoshop Elements. Ask your question at

jpg does not support Layers.
Just to make sure, what exactly do you mean by "stacking photos" and what do you want to achieve thereby?

Cannot save certain files due to program error

Certain JPG files refuse to allow me to save them. I get a "could not complete your request due to a program error".
Searching for this got me results that assume the problem was all the time; things like re-setting prefs and such. I tried that too, to be sure.
I have checked that I have write permissions on the files, CHMOD 666 on them, copied them to a different volume, all to no avail.
Photoshop is working fine on other files in this directory, AND these files can be opened and saved in Pixelmator without a problem.
Also, if I open the files and "save for the web" with the same name to the same directory, it creates new files instead of overwriting.
Th only thing that I find different about the files is in Terminal if I do an "ls -l":
-rw-r--r--@ 1 stevel stevel 57980 Dec 30 2007 20050905 0100.jpg
-rw-r--r--@ 1 stevel stevel 108070 Dec 30 2007 20050905 0101.jpg
-rw-r--r--@ 1 stevel stevel 80609 Dec 30 2007 20050905 0102.jpg
They have those @ signs.
I can only save these files by copying the pixel data into a new file and re-saving. This is going to be tedious as there is over 100.
Any ideas? I am an experienced Photoshop and Mac user and have not seen this set of circumstances before.
Thanks.

Can you please refer to discussion at below link for saving file :- http://forums.adobe.com/message/5849580

I cannot open photo's stored in my i photo library to edit in Photoshop Elements. Adobe comes up with the message program error. I use a Macbook Air.

No, that is done deliberately, since letting other programs poke around in the iphoto library is the fastest known way to corrupt it and make it wither up and die, along with your photos. If you want to use PSE with iphoto you have two choices:
1. Set PSE as your external editor and send the photos from iphoto. Edit them, then save without changing the name or format and iphoto will remember your last saved edits + original, although you have to lose the edits to see the original again. You may need to set the editor prefs>saving files>on first save to save over existing to make this work.
2. Export the photos from iphoto, use file>open in PSE, make all the changes of any sort that you like, save the file, and import it to iphoto as a new file.

Error Message in PSE 12. Cannot complete request due to a Program Error

Hi,
I have just bought Photoshop Elements 12 and have checked for updates. All ok. My laptop meets the system requirements. The OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. There is stacks of room on the dedicated hard drive I use for Elements. I use a Nikon 7100. When I am editing my RAW images sometimes everything is fine with the edit completed and saved as designed. At other times I do my editing, click on "open image" and I get an error message that my request cannot be completed because of a program error. The only thing I can do to get editing again is to re-start Elements. Sometimes I get the error message at my first edit and at other times on my second, after a successful first save.
I'd be grateful for any ideas as to why I'm getting this message and what I need to do to fix it.
Thanks.

Well, your info is inadequate/ insufficient/ vague. We need exact info about your system, exact memory and file handling settings, what files you work with, what tools/ features/ functions you use when the errors occur and so on. There's always a specific cause.

Not able to install Logic on mac with OSX. 10.8.2. Error message: Logic Studio.mpkg cannot be opened as the power pc programs are no longer supported. I have logic studio 8 software purchased in 2007 and upgraded with logic studio 9 (purchased in 2009)

After an earlier attempt to move Logic from my other mac (OSX 10.6.8) with the migration assistant to my new mac with OSX 10.8.2. I've re-started the whole start up process by erasing the hard drive from the new machine and build it up from scratch. After a new "out of the box" start, I decided to install LOGIC from my disks : starting with my 2007 package Logic Studio 8 and upgrading with my Logic 9 package from 2009. When trying to start to install 2008 I got the error message : Logic Studio.mpkg cannot be opened as the power pc programs are no longer supported.
What does this mean? HOw do I get this working under 10.8.2 as it works flawlessly under OSX 10.6.8. For sure I didn't buy a new machine to have OSX 10.8.2 but I suspect this is the roadblock to installing my logic package.
Help!

Mark,
Sorry...
I completely lost the thread (I actually got confused between you and another poster on a another forum that was asking the same basic question) and somehow ended up thinking you were trying to install on a PPC Mac
My apologies and please ingnore those parts of my last post relating to the PPC Macs...
You have an Intel Mac and therefore Logic Studio 2 Boxed Upgrade set should install/run on your Mac without issue. As I said earlier.. you do not need to try and install from the original Logic Studio 1 /Logic 8 Boxed set...(It won't work anyhow because you have an Intel Mac and that version had a PPC installer) but just install from the Logic Studio 2 / Logic Pro 9 Upgrade Boxed setof DVDs instead...
Have you tried the "Make Disk Image" solution I gave earlier? That normnally works under such circumstances as what you are describing can happen when your DVD drive cannot read the DVDs correctly... I have had this situation myself where one drive read them okay and another failed to do so for whatever reason. Making and then installing from Disk images of those exact same disks resolved the issue for me...
You can try to reinstall directly from the DVDs of course though under some circumstances it may not allow you to reinstall Logic Pro itself if that part of the original installation attempt was successful... in which case you can also try this... (It's probably the easiest method if Logic 9 was already installed and present in your Apps Folder)
If the Logic Pro App is in your applications folder..
Run Software Updates to update Logic Pro to a version that will run under 10.8.2 (The initially installed version of Logic will not)
Run Logic
Go to the menu bar in Logic and select Logic Pro/Install Additional Content and select all content in there..
This content is basically exactly the same as what is stored on the remaining DVDs of the boxed set so you might not need to use the rest of the DVDs to install from but download it all instead from Apple Servers...

ELEMENTS 12 AND ELEMENTS 13
Upgraded to 13 Thinking might resolve the issue.
Was working fine up until we had "Tech" come in the office and "up grade some stuff"
then all of a sudden i started getting this message, something happened but i don't have a clue what.

When I tried to open a fresh iTunes download my computer gave the error message : 'program cannot run in DOS mode'. Since both items are Apple, why might this be happening?

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

Itunes install error message - program not found ...x64/difxinst64.exe

itunes install error message - program not found ...x64/difxinst64.exe
no problems with ITunes on Dell Inspiron Windows 7 until yesterday. ITunes version 11.0.2. iphone won't connect stating required software is not installed. uninstall and install 64 bit version of iTunes. I have 64 bit version already. I have uninstalled and reinstalled 5 times already. When re-installing ITunes get error message c:\programdata\34be82c4-e596-4e99-a191-52c6199ebf6\x64\difxinst64.exe. file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. please install or create an association in the Default Programs control panel. iTunes install continues after the difxinst64.exe error message but then get the iphone cannot be used error message again. therefore, I can't sync my iphone with iTunes until I figure this out.
can't win for losing. had iTunes on my windows 7 laptop for 4 years. first time I've ever encountered this.

I am a PC Tech and had a customer with this issue. Ran across this post in my search and ended up finding the solution on my own. The problem isn't with the iTunes software but the installer for the GEARAspi drivers. Really the issues is with the file type asssociations in the windows registry. On the system I was working on the HKCR key for .exe should point to the exefile key but pointed to nothing. To fix it create a new txt document and paste the following in (only paste what is in between the [code][/code] tags):
[code]
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe]
@="exefile"
"Content Type"="application/x-msdownload"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe\PersistentHandler]
@="{098f2470-bae0-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}"
[/code]
Now change the extension from .txt to .reg. Then right click and select merge. iTunes should now install properly.

I cannot save any file in any program

I cannot save any file in any program. A pop-up message error that says disk drive error appears. Help!!!

Do you have backups?

PS CS5 error message, "The requested operation cannot be performed..."

When trying to save an image under the "save for web & devices" I get this error message, "The requested operation cannot be performed on a file with a user-mapped section open." I have the latest driver on my computer. For a while I would get this message now and then, now it is all the time.

I have this problem too. It only affects Photoshop. It doesn't happen every time I try to save for web, but it happens on all kinds of files, even new files that I have created from scratch in Photoshop. Sometimes, all I have to do is create a new file and click save for web, and I get the error.
It doesn't happen if I turn off my Antivirus program - Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security.
So I would think it was a problem with Trend Micro, but it doesn't occur with any other program and I can save files with Photoshop, unless I use the Save For Web option.

I have the exact same issue. I can print one document and then I get the error mentionned above ("adobe creation cannot continue because acrobat is not activated"). Then I need to reboot in order to be able to print a new document.
I have suite and went to Photoshop as suggested, but this program is already activated. I tried to launch Acrobat Pro but it won't.
I'm using the Design and Web Premium CS6 Suite on Windows Vista.
Thank you so much for your help.

Error message: The selected file cannot be linked because it has 6 audio channel(s) and the clip was

I recently purchased/upgraded from Premiere Elements 5 to Premiere Elements 9 and I cannot open the projects in version 9 that were created with version 5. It shows it as offline. I get a message to open up a file and when I do i receive the error message: The selected file cannot be linked because it has 6 audio channel(s) and the clip was created with 2 audio channels. Can someone help me or tell what I am doing wrong? All of my projects that were completed in version 5 cannot be opened up in version 9.
Thank you.

Bill,
I ran G-Spot on one of the files and here it what I have:
DVD "VOB" format
MPEG-2 Program Stream << { 1 vid, 1 aud }
Sys Bitrate: 10080 kb/s VBR
I guess I am really confused. The project that I am trying to open PrE 9 was completed in PrE 3 w/templates , scenes, etc. The movie was burned to a DVD. I cannot understand why I cannot open it with a newer version of PrE. According to G-Spot (I am assuming this is what you mean above), it is already in 2 channels. To me this should be ok. I put many, many hours into these videos and now it seems all for not.
Here is what I did so far:
I uploaded the required media files to a new project in PrE9 and let them index and conform. I saved the project with the same name in a different location. Do I have to do this to the project files and/or the original media files? Confusion starts here.
The next step is where I am confused. I do not know if I am proceeding in the right direction from here. There is the share tab in the upper right hand corner. Is this what you are talking about? I am truly lost from here.
Thanks.
