Photoshop can't save files because of a program error

Annoying!!

Yeah, but frankly so are posts like yours. Since you have not provided even a shred of technical information like system specs, save options and so on nor bothered to actually explain your issue properly one can only question your motivations to even post here...

  • Can't save a file because of "a program error"

    PSE 8 doesnt' save files with error "Could not complete your request because of a program error".
    when PC is restarted PSE does save one or two files and then the error appears...
    looks very ugly, such a basic fiture is not working

    First thing to try is resetting the preferences by holding down
    the Shft+Alt+Ctrl keys (windows) Cmd-Shift-Option  (mac)
    as you start the pse 8 editor and then click yes in dialog.
    Some more information might help such as which OS (windows or mac)
    and how much ram you have and if this has worked before or never worked and
    the format your trying to save your files in.

  • Can't open documents because of a program error (pop-up)

    Working in Photoshop i want to open other document, when opening a pop-up appears with the message: Can't execute your request because of a program error.*
    I keep on working with: Go to finder en drag the document in photoshop and go on, but it's not what we want.
    I updated CC after I updated my mac to Yosemite and think there's something wrong between CC and Yosemite

  • Can't save file because it is open

    When I try to save a file that I've been working on to the folder from which I got it I sometimes get the error that it cannot be saved because the file is already open or in use.  This can happen whether or not I use a plug in during editing or not.  I have to rename the file in order to save it.  It only seems to happen with jpeg files.   OSX MacPro
    Any ideas?

    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated?
    As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by pressing command-alt-shift on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
    System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.

    Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)
    If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.

    In view of your comments in the topic at the link below, and location of Masters vs simple Previews that Aperture may have in its Library please clarify exactly what images you have sent to Photoshop and you disconnected drive?

  • Firefox will not open on startup and takes over system resorces. Uninstalled. When attempting to reinstall, installer will not run from website, and can not save file to HD. No error message, it just never appears.

    After a system reboot, Firefox would not open. I opened the task manager, and saw that Firefox was using alot of memory, and was using 50% of the CPU. I ended the process, and restarted. The situation just repeated several time.
    I uninstalled Firefox using uninstall programs from the control panel.
    I then tried to run the Firefox installer from the website, it would open the download window, then the "run the install" window. After clicking "Run", the window just closes. So I attempted to just download the install file, and clicked "Save". I tried to save the file to several different locations. A download window would open, and run, but the file would not be there.
    I was running 3.6.12, the current version. And that is was I tried to install. After that failed, I also tried to install the beta 4, with the same results.
    No error messages have opened, and I have run scans for malware/spyware, and didn't see anything that jumped out as a problem. I am running Win Explorer right now. And it is running fine, but I much prefer my Firefox.

  • Photoshop CC constantly bringing up error "Photoshop could not complete request because of a program error" Help!! How do I fix this?

    I have recently been having an error message pop up every now and  then in photoshop CC.  It usually happens after editing every other photo.  It goes away if I close out of photoshop and load it back up. But then it comes back after another couple photo edits. Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this?
    Thanks!

    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.

  • Could not save 'file name' due to program error mac CS6

    Please help reguarding this question.
    Its not ok.

    Installing the update does require restarting Photoshop.
    The majority of the file saving problems we've seen are with file servers.
    Are you having trouble with a particular format, or just one document?

  • Updated photoshop cc and I can't save files now

    Updated photoshop cc and I can't save files now

    No, but before anyone can help you, you'll need to tell us what version of Photoshop you are using, and what your new update status is. Plus we need to know what your operating system is.
    [edit]
    Whoops.  Just noticed that you mention CC, so I guess you are talking about 14.1.  So what is your OS?

  • Using PhotoShop CC v2014.1.0 I can't save files as PDFs - I get a program error

    I have tried a couple of different files now. In the past I could save my files as PDF copies, but just recently it has been generating errors. I thought the first one was due to the size of the file but I just tried it again on a small file with the same "program error".

    So the question then becomes, what do the files that won't save as PDF have in common but at the same time they don't share with other files.
    And when I said that a font would cause the issue, this was in regards to using a specific font. Generally one that is corrupt in some fashion or was poorly created. First, try the steps here: Troubleshoot fonts | Photoshop CC, CS6, CS5

  • Can't open file: "Could not complete your request because of a program error"

    I have a Photoshop file that suddenly won't open.  Last week I upgraded to CS5--the file had been created in CS3 prior to that.  When I try to open it, I receive this error message (in CS5): "Could not complete your request because of a program error."  I tried to open the same file in CS3; there, the file opens, but as soon as I try to do anything I get the same error message....which, annoyingly, re-appears the second I click "OK," so the only thing I can do in CS3 is force-quit.
    I've used Time Machine to retrieve versions of the file that were saved four days ago, seven days, and several weeks ago, and I get the same message every time.  Even on versions that were last saved with CS3 (before I installed CS5).
    Naturally, this is one of the most important files in my life right now....it's a 300 MB file that contains hundreds of layers and dozens of comps.  So the fact that I suddenly can't open it, after shelling out $1200 to upgrade to the latest and greatest Adobe has to offer, is, to say the least, distressing.
    Any advice will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    TheWocky

    First thing I would do is investigate hard drive issues and the health of the OS.

    Without proper system information and other details like what files you work with  nobody can tell you much. From corrupted prefs to issues with your PS swap file to actual problems with the fiel storage this could be anything.

  • 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,
    James

  • Photoshop CS5 "Could not complete your request because of a program error." on Save As

    Hello all,
    We just got a new iMac with 10.9 on it.  Photoshop CS5 is having a major problem.  About 80% of the time we get an error on Save As, "Could not complete your request because of a program error."
    It appears like it might be related to saving JPEGs, as we get the message when saving as JPEG and Photoshop PDF.  Saving as Photoshop and PNG work fine.
    Running 10.9.3
    Photoshop CS5
    Creative Cloud is also installed on this machine.

    Alright, something on your system is causing odd problems.
    Third party plugins would be the first suspect.  If you have third party plugins, disable them.
    Corrupt font files or corrupt OS font cache would be the second.
    See this for tips to troubleshoot font issues:  http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-fonts-photoshop-cs5.html
    After those 2 causes, it would have to be something invoked, like a scanner or printer driver.
    Then we get to bad installs, bad RAM, bad CPU, etc.
