Photoshop CC2014 does not launch. Error message ' cannot initialize photoshop because of program error

Hi, I get this error message (cannot initialize) after the splash screen.
I have chatted with Adobe staff and spoke to one. I have un-installed and re-installed, created new administrator and installed, fixed permissions, deleted preferences, you name it.
In previous chat on a forum I read about the PsErrorLog.txt file.
Mine says:
2014:08:23 10:50:20 : /Volumes/workarea/PS_15_Mac_Daily_Retail/20140730.r.148/photoshop/main/photoshop/sources/ UColorState.cpp : 737 : REQUIRE failed
2014:08:23 10:54:42 : /Volumes/workarea/PS_15_Mac_Daily_Retail/20140730.r.148/photoshop/main/photoshop/sources/ UColorState.cpp : 737 : REQUIRE failed
I cannot locate the ColorSettings.csf in the photoshop preferences folder and my System Preferences / displays / color says iMac.
Any tips how to solve this issue?

Either your default color settings files are corrupted, or they are missing (they're in the system application support folder).
Uninstalling and reinstalling should put the default files back in place.

I have cc2014 and I want to bridge to DAZ Studio .duf file. In PS I choose File Automate DAZ Studio 3d bridge - get error message "could not complete DAZ Studio 3D Bridge command because of program error". What's going on.

I get error message when trying to open DAZ Studio 3D bridge in PS 2014 from the File and Automate Menu.
Error reads "could not complete DAZ Studio 3D Bridge command because of program error?"
According to User Documentation I should get a dialog box which allows me to click on "Launch DAZ Studio"
Why is there a problem?

You have something messed in with your Photoshop or OS install. You need to troubleshoot that first.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, video card specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.
A screen shot could be very helpful too.

Getting error message "cannot sign in due to server error"

Why am I getting error message "cannot sign in due to server error" when I try to sign in to iCloud?

A software fluke or hiccup perhaps. Try closing the mail app completely, reboot the iPad and see if the message goes away.
Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Mail app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Could not complete the define custom shape command because of program error

I am using the pen tool to draw a shape and then select it to create a custom shape. I use path: edit - define custom shape = "could not complete the define custom shape command because of program error"
The error message appears once I click the define button.

Also, I solved this another way, seems to happen to me often. I click on the path panel, near layers panel and clicked on 'load path as a selection' (3rd icon on bottom from left), then click 'make work path from selection' (4th icon on bottom from left). Then you will see that the whole work area is part of the selection, including your desired shape/path. In order to change this, just select 'path selection' tool and highlight each corner and delete each point from each corner, then you are left with the desired selection to create a shape. I am self taught and this seem unorthodox, but it works.

When I try to open a .jpeg in Bridge CC2014, I get the error message cannot find Photoshop CS6.

I have associated my .jpegs with Photoshop CC2014. I had to do this manually. Now, every other program opens them in Photoshop, except Adobe Bridge CC 2014.
If I try to Open a .jpeg (or any other file associated with Photoshop) Photoshop from bridge, it says It cannot find the photoshop cs6.exe file. Of course not! I uninstalled it before I installed CC. Maybe two years ago. And now Bridge CC2014 goes looking for that as the CS6 default Photoshop.exe?

I finally got it to work by going into Bridge->Edit>Preferences>Default settings. After choosing a file that is supposed to open in Photoshop, I chose to change it and browsed to Program Files>Adobe>Adobe Photoshop CC2014 and manually linking each filetype to the photoshop.exe.
I have spent the better part of a week getting Adobe software to work again after the Adobe CC2014 install. I will never trust Adobe CC updates again. They failed to warn me that CC2014 installs as a completely different copy rather than an update of CC. As a result, I ended up uninstalling CC apps after installing 2014. A mess that has cost me more than *30 hours* of chasing around forums, manually re-associating files. Even a registry hack! Found by a user, not by adobe.
Ordinary users shouldn't have to do this sort of thing after a normal install from the Creative Cloud panel. The genius software engineers at Adobe are being totally undercut by the keystone cops in the cc updates and install department.

PhotoShop Elements does not launch

I purchased PhotoShop Elements; did not download the trail version. It worked nice; I liked it. I then had to do a system restore unrelated to Photoshop. Afterwards, I re-installed PhotoShop. When I launch PhotoShop I have the option to select the Organizer or Photo Editor. I can't launch either; a message appears that says my trial has expired. I have spent 3 hours with Adobe tech support and they could not get it to work. I was told if I still had the issue, call tech support again...this isn't exactly tech support. They also told me that re-installing this software will cause it to NOT launch. Has anyone else experienced this? Maybe someone out there has and found a solution that will work for me. Thanks!

Good day!

ITunes Error message: cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the selected items.

My Iphone 4S still shows that I have 26G of free space yet I keep getting the same error message when trying to sync to itunes. I know for sure my selected music library + photos are only about 1G combined. I've unchecked sync music and photo which removed the files from the phone. Then resynced and getting the same error message again. Any idea what's causing this and how it can be resolved?

Try resetting the iPhone.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Error message for contact sheet II command - program error

I am trying to create a contact sheet in photoshop elements editor (I have done this before so I know how to do it), but when I go ahead and click on the button an error message pops up: " the operation could not be completed. the file or directory could not be found. then I click on OK and another error message: could not complete the contact sheet II command because of a program error. HELP. this command was working fine 2 weeks ago

Which operating system and version of photoshop elements are you using?
The cause is usually because the folder that had been specified in the contact sheet ii dialog has been moved, deleted or renamed.
If your on a mac os go to
(user) Library\Preferences\Adobe\Plugins\Adobe Contact Sheet II PSE12\Elements
and delete the
Adobe Contact Sheet PSE12 Prefs
hopefully you should be able to use the Contact Sheet II plugin again.
To see your user Library, in the Finder Go menu press the Option key and then you should see Library listed on the Go menu.

Error Message: Cannot import files because they cannot be found.

What do I do? I just purchased this! I tried restarting and I just installed it about an hour ago. I shouldn't already have this problem!

A couple of questions/assumptions. The folders panel on the left side of the screen should be pointing to the location of the the files you wish to import and the panel on the right side should be pointing to where you want LR to store the imported files. Are you doing a move, copy or DNG conversion or are you telling Lightroom to just leave the files where they are and just import them into the catalog? Are you importing from a camera/card reader? The message indicates that LR can't read the folder that you pointed it to so there could be a number of reasons for that including security issues. More details would help.
If you are importing directly from a camera or card reader, sometimes copying the files from the card to a temporary folder on your desktop and them importing the files from there works better but I can't explain why. This is what I do as part of my own workflow but I have read other posts where people have said that doing this first copy worked for them.

Error Messages "Printer needs to be installed" "Program Error"

I've been printing all day and now am getting a message that I can't print unless I install a printer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled printer to no avail. I have also uninstalled Photoshop CS4 and reinstalled it. I am getting the same message. I am able to print from other programs (Word) but not photoshop. What do I need to do next?

Linda,
There are
always preferences saved. No way around that; there's always a full set of preferences saved, even if they're just the defaults. And preference files can get corrupted any time.
See the FAQs of this forum if you don't know how to trash your preferences.

Sybase Control Center Does not launch

Hi All,
Why Sybase Control Center on my PC does not launch (Internet Explore cannot display the webpage) ?
I checked at my service, Sybase Unified Agent already started.
Please help me ...

Typically it is because you have not set JRE_HOME or JAVA_HOME. Surce where the jave.exe or the jre.exe exists and add this to the environment.
Also we you are having these types of issues.......the best way to debug this is to open up a DOS window and run the "D:\Sybase\Shared\Sybase Central 6.0.0\win64\scjview.exe" executable from that directory. This way you can see the eeror being pushed out instead of having it flash to the screen.

I cannot open a file from lightroom into CC2014 unless I open it as a smart object. CC opens, just will not display my image. i am given an error code when I save an image, and can only save to my desktop or other locations, not automatically back into my lightroom.
I am using LR5 latest update, as well as CC2014
Below is the error message:
Line: 1 -> photoshop.notifyLightroomDocClosed ('lightroom-2.0', 'B53AFA39-A49B-4709-A9BD-0B6467C175C3', 'Macintosh HD:Users:BPexposures:Desktop:_DSC5962 as Smart Object-1.psd');

I was also having this issue, and I did some more searching and found this answer in the Adobe forums: Re: Photos from Lightroom 5 to Photoshop CC (2014) and back.... The issue appears to be caused by having not updated Lightroom to the latest version prior to having CC2014 installed (wow that's stupid). The trick seems to be to uninstall Photoshop CC2014 and to then reinstall it after having upgraded to Lightroom 5.5.
