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

Launch PB in CS5 and get "The operation could not be completed."

I had been using the PB plug-in previously and it worked fine. Since that time, I have installed no new hardware or drivers but have installed Topaz Adjust 4 filter. Now, when I have an image opened in PS CS5 and I click Filters -> Pixel Bender -> Pixel Bender Gallery... I get a modal dialog with the title Error and the message "The operation could not be completed." I tried reinstalling the extension and no luck.
Here's some relevant info:

I take it you've rebooted your machine a few times since all this has happened? Something must have changed to cause this problem. You could try deleting the Photoshop preferences and the Pixel Bender plugin preferences. You doublechecked that you have the latest drivers from nVidia (and you did so by manually comparing the result provided on the nVidia driver page with the driver version found in the Display preferences? Are you running on a laptop? If so, who is the manufacturer?

PS CS5 The operation could not be completed. A file system I/O error has occurred

Howdy...
I'm using Photoshop CS5 and when I go to use a handful of filters such as Liquify or Lens Correction I am suddenly getting an error message saying:
"The operation could not be completed. A file system I/O error has occurred"
Doesn't matter if it's a massive file or a small one. Sometimes the Liquify box will actually come up, but after I make one or two strokes, the beachball comes up and moments later I get the error message again. It doesn't actually crash PS, it just prevents me from using those filters. Each time I click, the error message comes up again. I've also tried it with my PS CS3 on the same Mac and it does the same thing. However on my 4 year old MacBook Pro, it's absolutely fine. Grrrrr!
I have my PS set as default on 64 bit. I have a scratch disk with nearly 500gb free (which is not my start-up disk) I am running a Mac Pro 2.8 GHz 8 Core Intel with 16gb of ram, so it's not a memory problem. Running Mac OS 10.6.7 but did the same on 10.6.6 too.
I have repaired the disk permissions on the start-up disk. I have reloaded a fresh copy of PS (a few times). Even did a hard Un-install with maccs3clean after trying a regular Un-install with no success.
I had an 1.5hr conversation with an Adobe Tech guy earlier today and he's scratching his head, so I'd thought I'd throw it open to you guys hoping someone has had the same problem and can save the rest of my hair from being pulled out.
HELP!

Hi Guys,
I know this is an old post but I need to bump it.
I work for a image processing company and we all sit on top spec mac pro's with 16-32 GB of RAM, top graphic cards and SSD drives.
All of my collegaues' computers are working fine when it comes to using liquify and all of the filters that come with CS5, but it sure doesn't work on my mac at all.
We have a tech guy who has re-installed the OSX on a new SSD drive now two times and we have started from scratch with installing CS5 but it still will not work. I keep getting "the operation could not be completed..." every time i try
to liquify or do any other filter work.
I am 100% sure it doesn't have to do with any disk permissions or broken drives in my case.
Could there be an issue with the graphic card or any other hardware component since it's clearly not a software related issue?
Any help would be much appreciated because we are very much in the dark here.
Best regards,
Anders

Bridge CS5 freezes after error message...."The operation could not be completed, there is not....

Error - The operation could not be completed. Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.
After this happens I have to close Bridge as it is unresponsive to any further commands and I often I have to use the task manager to close it.
I have scoured these boards and the web for a solution and have found others w/ the same problem (even people w/ much more RAM) but have not found a solution beyond the usual advice of changing cache settings, increasing page file, or making sure there is enough hard drive space.
I have two 1TB hdd's w/ over 80% free space on each but I only have 2 GB RAM (all my old motherboard can handle). However, this error message occurs even when Photoshop is not running (only Bridge) and my RAM usage meter shows that I still have plenty of unused RAM available. I did not have this problem w/ Bridge CS4. The error msg. of not enough storage doesn't make since considering the available RAM showing and ample space on the hard disk assigned to the cache (which is a different physical drive than my OS or the Bridge program.)
Here are some of the things I have tried:
reset Bridge preferences at startup, changed the location of the Bridge cache, its size and options, purged the cache, changed the page file size on both drives to the max, defragmented drives, disabled Norton anti-virus, etc.
-What else can I try?
-Would creating a new partition on my 2nd hdd to be used solely for the Bridge cache make any difference and if so, why?
Please help, I am willing to try anything to get this to work. It is a personal challenge at this point.... and I am determined to get Bridge CS5 to work on my machine......
Thanks in advance for any advice or insturctions you may offer!

PS CS5 Save for Web and Devices reports "The operation could not be completed" ?

I teach in a lab of 27 computers, 110 students and part of the curriculum is teaching students to "Save for Web and Devices" this year for some strange reason none of my students can access "Save for Web and Devices" they get the error message "The operation could not be completed-A write permissions error has occured."
It has stumped our district top network support guru.
We are running PS CS5 12.0.4
He tried this posted fix but it did not work
http://involution.com/2010/06/13/adobe-photoshop-cs5-write-perimissions-error-on-snow-leop ard/
It worked once last Friday but today it failed, I'm getting very nervous about being able to prepare my students for the ACA exam without this function.
In a discussion forum they suggested "zipping and deleting" the save for web preferences, I tried that. Shut down Photoshop reopened it and that did not work.
I am at a loss. Seems like a bug.
Any ideas.
We are using iMacs running Mac OS X 10.5.8

The error message may not simply address the location to where the students will save a single file. The error likely applies to the temporary location where the various optimized versions might be automatically saved as you preview the image as JPG/PNG/GIF. I would wager that you would not see this error when you are logged into one of the students' computers as an admin.

The save for the web function has stopped working in my copy of photoshop elements 12. I get this message, " The operation could not be completed. The system cannot find the path specified" Resetting preferences did not fix.

Whenever I close down Photoshop CS5 I get the message: "Could not save Preferences because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges. Use the get info command in Finder to unlock the file or change permission on the file or enclosing folders." What on earth does it mean? How can I stop this message from appearing?

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.

"The operation could not be completed" when doing Save for web

Hi
I have just installed Photoshop CS5.1 on my new iMac with Mac OS 10.7 (Lion). Everytime I try to do a 'Save for web' I get this error message "The operation could not be completed". After that Photoshop also hangs. I've tried many solutions offered in forums and the like, but nothing helps. I am getting quite desperate...Anybody?

I found out the following:
When I write in Terminal:
sudo chmod -R u+w ~/Library/Preferences
sudo chmod -R u+rw ~/Library/Application\ Support
The error message disappears, until I do a restart of the computer. Then the error is back.
My suspiscion is that the error came up after moving files from my old computer to my new one.
It happened even before I installed Lion...
So now I'm thinking of doing a complete new install on Lion, not an upgrade and then install Photoshop again. But I am not really looking forward to this :-(

I cannot get Bridge to open - I get the message that "the operation could not be completed"

I cannot get Bridge to open in my new CS5 Suite - I get the message that "the operation could not be completed." Photoshop comes up fine, but no Bridge. I have a MacBook Pro. Thanks.

I am having the same issue.
MacBook Pro, OSX 10.6.4
Photoshop CS5, Bridge CS5
It will not open, I have reinstalled, cleared the cache, & reset preferences, + installed the patch.
I do have Bridge CS3 that came with my PS Elements, & that works. Do not have any Norton, or other software running.

Error while consolidating. The operation could not be completed.

Error while consolidating. The operation could not be completed. Cocoa error 13. (null)
Got this when I was trying to consolidate some referenced photoshop files. If failed to create a new version as well when I tried to open the files in Photoshop. I rebuilt the the library and it displays and exports both masters and version just fine, but it won't let me consolidate the master to the library.
What gives?

I think that error was due to the fact that I hadn't upgraded MAC OSX after installing it. I have done that now and now I get another error saying the masters are offline.
I found this old thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1965601?start=0&tstart=0 which seems to be the same problem. This is a whole other topic so I will start a new thread, but leave this in case anyone gets the same problem as me. Upgrade your OSX. That's the solution :-)

"The operation could not be completed" Error

Every time i try to open the pixel bender filter I get an error that says "The operation could not be completed" Any Ideas? Windows 7 i5 processor and 8 gb of ram. I tried re installing, and several images from small to max size.
Thanks

Perhaps your issue has been resolved by now. I read all the responses as I was also having the Error:
The operation could not be completed." message and this is how I resolved it. I have Win XP with
3Gb Ram,and the same graphics card you referenced, by Nvidia. I looked as the document size and it was at 370 dpi so I dropped it down to 72 and saved it. Then I had no problem opening Pixel Bender and using the various filters in it.

File Save for Web = Error: The operation could not be completed.

Installed photoshop CS6 trial Version 13.0 on Windows 7 Ultimate running in hyper-v virtual machine. Created a small image and clicked File Save for Web. This produced the error dialog "Error: The operation could not be completed."
I tried the following trouble shooting steps:
1. deleted the preferences
2. created a new user
3. re-installed both the operating system and photoshop
4. looked for permission issues
5. monitored procmon.exe to look for unusual errors
I'm not sure what I'm looking for, but it simply does not work.

Save for Web - The operation could not be completed. Access is denied.

Hello everyone! I was hoping it wouldn't have to come to this, but unfortunately, I really need help with my Adobe Photoshop. I run on Windows 32x and my program is Photoshop CS6 (Portable and its 64 bit), which I've had for about a year. Yesterday, I made a GIF and I tried to save it but along came the message saying "The operation could not be completed. Access is denied."
I reset my preferences (more than once!), restarted my laptop and cleared up a bunch of memory on my hard drive. The mode is set to 8 Bits/Channel and RGB Color. I really have tried to look at every thread I could, but alas I could not find anything. I would really appreciate some help. Here is my system info!
Any advice would really go a long way to helping me, and I am desperate. Thanks.

Make sure that you have read write access to the foldler that you're trying to save your file to. Save for web doesn't save in the same location as where the file resides. It remembers that last location used, and you may not have access to that.
