Photoshop CC 2014 (same happens in illustrator). Filter gallery (not greyed out, file is regular 8bit rgb) will not work. Error message "the operation could not be completed". Tried throwing out preferences etc.

Anyone know why this happened after last photoshop update?

Type Terminal in Spotlight (The magnifying glass or to the right of your name on the Mac menu bar) and double click it to start it up.
Copy and paste the command at the prompt ($) and it should look like this. Press Enter, type your password, then Enter again.
What I'm think is that if the permissions of the App Support folder were altered, that might explain why things are refusing to work properly
It's an idea, it won't hurt anything, and if we are lucky it will fix the problem.

    You could also post/submit your crash report from running in 32bit with your email address. That may yield some additional clues.

  • What does "The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 0 (error -1)." mean, and why does it keep happening?

    So I've been trying to export a video file from Motion 5 (and FCPX), and I keep recieving the message "The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 0 (error -1)". I've found the problem has something to do with a video file in the project, Ive tried multiple versions of said file, in multiple formats (.mov, h264, etc.), and I keep getting the same result.  The file was originaly a 640x480 wmv file. Any suggestions?

    I ended up figuring out a solution, but I'll get to that in a sec.
    To answer your question, I converted the .wmv file in a program called Media Converter (available in the App store), and converted it to an h.264 file (then later to a .mov file, and then to an .mpg). I could view the file, and work with it in projects, but any project I tried to output with any version of said file, would result in the afor mentioned message, with the same results in FCPX (and Compressor 4 as well).  I tried multiple frame rates, resolutions, files types, re-converting the file, all with no luck.  My impression from said experiments, and reading other discussions was that it was a corrupt file. 
    Then I got frisky...and a little desperate. I brought the converted file (the .wmv to .mov) into Motion 4... and an export worked first try.  So I exported a pro-res file from Motion 4, and used that file in the already built Motion 5 project, and voila! 
    So, who knows what that means in real terms, as for the whats and whys.

    Hi
    And without info - it's near to impossibly to help. Try my general troubleshooting note:
    Troubleshooting note
    When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
    iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
    problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
    Creating a new User-Account and log into this
    This forces iMovie to create all pref. and cache files new and error free
    Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
    a Codec is used that doesn't work (even though iMovie and/or iDVD tries to / they fail in the end)
    version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
    preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
    other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
    External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
    ( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
    USB-flash-memories - usually do not work
    Net-work connected hard disks - usually do not work (most often not fast enough and WRONGLY FORMATTES as DOS etc)
    iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie. When iMovie starts-up it first look trough this iPhoto library and if faulty it all Halt’s.
    This You do by
    First -  close iPhoto
    Secondly - on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
    Thirdly - now select all five options presented
    THEN - WAIT a long long time (>20 hours are not strange)
    free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
    external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
    GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
    Screen must be set to million-colors
    Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
    Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
    Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
    Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
    In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
    (I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)
    buenrodri wrote
    I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
    Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

  • Photoshop elements 13 will not print to my new epson wf-7620 error message;default printer could not be opened

    frustrated! photoshop elements 13 will not print to my new epson wf-7620 error message;default printer could not be opened

    I haven't been able to try this fix, but someone emailed me the below fix:
    I had same problem.Elements13 would not open my new default printer, but worked ok on four other versions of Elements. No help from Adobe, after three days of searching & phoning adobe , I found out by:- Going into Elements 13, Press Edit button, down to "Preferences and across to general. Press the "Reset Preferences on next launch". I then suggest you go through each section to make sure that your chosen preference are still ticked/checked in.
    It worked for me. Hope same for you.
    I'm planning on trying this fix soon.  Let me know how it goes for you if you get to try it before me.  Will do the same.  Thanks,
    Chad

  • SQL Server 2014 Management Studio - "The operation could not be completed"

    Hi there!
    I've recently installed SQL Server 2014 Express Edition to my Windows 8.1 x64 computer. It was working fine for one month or so. Now, when I try to open Management Studio I get the error "The operation could not be completed". A few seconds into
    the splash screen. Then the application shuts down.
    I don't have any errors or warnings on Event Viewer. Not even any information lines related to SSMS when opening. I've tried to use ProcMon but I can't see any events related to SSMS.exe that could give this result. I've already installed Cumulative Update
    2 for SQL Server 2014 with no luck. Also, I've repaired SQL Server installation and even reinstalled this instance with the same outcome.
    I know this topic has already been written before but it was related to Windows Server. The response marked as Answer was not applicable to my case. As I said, I'm using Win 8.1 x64.
    I'm out of options for now. Can you please give any help?
    Thank you so much.

  • Oil paint filter: The operation could not be completed

    And this is just one of the problems I am getting. I'm running Win7 64bit, photoshop cs6 (also 64bit), have an i7 2600 and 16GB of RAM and an ati 5870 card running the latest drivers (12.8)
    So, the operation could not be completed whenever I try to run the oil paint plugin and when I try to use the iris blur, my canvas goes blank. If I pull it out of docked mode and put it in a window, it's still blank until I move the window about and I can see my image, but as soon as I stop moving the window around, it's blank again.

    Thanks for the advice. I had found that suggestion elsewhere on the site after I posted and just finished a reinstall of drivers. That fixed the problem with liquefy and oil paint. However, I still have issues with the first three Blur filters: field, iris, and tilt shift. All three cause the canvas to go black when run and no matter what I do I cannot restore the image without exiting photoshop. If I close the window that is now black and reopen the original file (unsaved after the error) without exiting I still get a blank canvas. In order to be able to view that file again I need to close down photoshop completely. Then upon restart I can open and view the file.
    If I completely disable "Use Graphics Processor" in the performance preferences then the filters work like normal.If I reenable they go back to the the black canvas behavior. I also tried leaving the "use graphics processor" enabled and changing the subsettings such as Drawing mode and none of those changes helped... the graphics processor needs to be completely disabled.

  • I have a B200 error message on my Canon MP560. I tried taking out the ink cartriges etc. to no avail

    I have a B200 error message on my Canon MP560. I followed the posting that said to take the ink cartriges out, lift the grey bar and remove the printer board. I did that, replaced it after a few minutes, replaced the cartriges, turned the printer off and unplugged it. After waiting well over 10 minutes, I plugged it back in and when it was turned it on, the same message came up. 
    Now what?
    Thanks,

    I'm glad I was able to help.  I kind of wish mine hadn't worked because I ended up being one of the "lucky" individuals where my phone didn't restore from the backup and I lost all of my contacts, calendar appts, notes, etc.  It took me an extra 2 hrs last night to rebuild the next month worth of appts and try to rebuild my contact list from my yahoo contacts.  Oh well.  I will be getting an android at my next upgrade.  I'm tired of all of the BS that comes with owning an iPhone.
