"Operation cannot be completed because of an unknown error." [CANT]

This started happening with my Illustrator CC - everytime I start the program, it has the error "OPERATION CANNOT BE COMPLETED BECAUSE OF AN UNKNOWN ERROR. [CANT]"
Anyone else have this same issue?
Have the 2014 Macbook Pro w Retina Display | Yosemite
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Did you migrate the application or do a clean install? The more recent Adobe products don"t do well with migration. Uninstall, run the cleaner tool and reinstall is the usual remedy.

  • Operation Cannot Complete Because of an Unknown Error [CANT]

    I have been using version CS6 since its launch. I had my operating system upgraded to Windows 8 in the New Year and loaded my programs afresh then.
    I used Illustrator extensively in April and May and haven't used it much since then. Yesterday, when I came to do some work with it, I couldn't start a new document without this message appearing, after clicking OK the program became unresponsive (an operating system 'ding' sounded on each mouse click) and could only be closed using Task Manager.
    I managed to open a new file from a template or open an existing PDF. However, when I tried to save it under a new name, the same issue happened.
    I can only think that whatever is causing this happend after an update between now and last May/June as I was using the program freely before then.

    Hey,
    I had the same problem any time I tried to open .svg files. I resaved the files as .eps and they opened without issue.

    When I called Adobe, I was pretty much told that they would not offer any assistance. I offered to purchase the incident support, but they said that wasn't an option with this problem. I had to badger the guy just to get him to say that he believed it was caused by an inability of our network account users to write to the local hard drive. What is below is the results of my attempts to research and solve the problem from that point.
    The way we addressed it was to make a second partition (only 10GB) on the local computers and give full read & write access to it for everyone. Then, we instructed our students to set their Scratch location to that new partition. This does indeed resolve the [PARM] error and some problems trying to save and open large files. It does not address the SUITEPEA errors we are getting in our console log though.
    To change the Scratch location:
    - click Illustrator in the menu bar
    - select Preferences
    - click Plug-ins and Scratch
    - use the drop-down menu to change the Primary scratch disk
    - click OK
    Sadly, the above must be done per each individual user and I have not yet found a way to push the preference using Workgroup Manager since the Illustrator preference file is not a normal .plist and the Scratch portion is a rather lengthy string of characters. Adobe did not make this one easy on us and they're not willing to support it (or weren't in my case).
    I wish the rest of you better luck than I have had on this issue.
    The funny thing is - if Adobe used /Users/Shared for the default scratch location instead of whatever location it currently is, I don't think this would be a problem since all users (in a default Mac OS X install) have full access to /Users/Shared

  • The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. [Parm]

    I manage computer labs for a small college and we recently installed Adobe CS3 Design Premium on our Macintosh labs. When a user launches Adobe Illustrator CS3 (13.0.2), they see a widget with the Ai (Adobe Illustrator) icon and the following text "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. [Parm]" and an OK button. At the same time, the console log (~/Library/Logs/Adobe Illustrator CS3/AISuitePea.log) is flooded with something called SuitePea throwing errors, such as these below (this is only a small portion of those thrown):

    Some google searching suggested multiple means of dealing with this, from Disk Utility Permissions Repair to plug-in issues/removal. So far, nothing I have tried has yielded any results. My latest attempt was fully uninstalling CS3 using the utility on the CD, and then manually removing all remaining portions I could find on the hard drive (prefs, remaining folders, etc...), rebooting, and then resintalling, but have found I encounter the same result.
    Does anyone know what this SuitePea is or what to do about this kind of error?
    System Information:
    Clients are running Adobe Illustrator 13.0.2
    Intel-based iMacs running OS X 10.4.10
    User home directories are on a network share, not local
    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you,

  • Solution to error: "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. [CANT]" ???

    Hi,
    I'm working with Adobe Illustrator CS3 for Mac and suddenly the software started to prompt "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. [CANT]". I deleted my prefs and the problem is still present.
    Some times the machine freezes after this error.
    I'm performing normal operations, nothing that requieres large amounts of memory or so.
    The problem only happens in Illustrator.
    Any possible solution?
    thanks in advance.

    I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2.2 GHz. My hard drive has 50% of free space (80GB free)
    It was defragmented 2 months ago. No reports from SMART or any issues with directory. (tested with Drive Genius and Disk Warrior)
    I read in several posts about problem with scratch discs. My system has only one partition.
    Hope this info might be helpful.

  • This operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. [UKCO]

    I use Illustrator CS4 and recently updated my Mac to Maverik. The problems started not long after an update. When i try to open some tools this message appears.
    This operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. [UKCO].
    Can anyone offer a solution.

    Check the permissions on the library folders and such. Mavericks changes this stuff and the program may simply notz be able to access certain prefs and tool presets.

    You can try to repair the permissions for the Firefox application files and folders.

  • When I try to upgrade to the newer version of Firefox, this is the message I get (I am using OS 10.4.11): The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.

    I have recently dropped Earthink as me dial-up provider. I now am using Virgin Mobile Broadband2GO. I was using Safari. I am now using Yahoo! Mail Plus. It suggested I switch to Firefox. I had an older version of Firefox (2.0.0.6) and started using it. It suggested I needed to upgrade because many of the newer web sites wouldn't work well on this older version. I downloaded the newer version and proceeded with the installation and it would tell me this: '''The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.''' I have re-downloaded and tried it again two more times. I haven't a clue what that means or what to do about it.
