Program error message - Photoshop CS4 for Mac

I started to get the message "Could not complete your request because of a program error" a little while back, but it would go away after restarting photoshop, so I wasn't too worried about it. But now I've encountered this one file that won't let me do anything to it. As soon as I open it it pops up with the error message. No amount of clicking makes it go away, and I have to force quit photoshop. Always the same  thing. I read up a little about how to fix it but I haven't found anything that works (I tried the file info>copyright idea and deleting Photoshop's preferences, even getting rid of extra fonts, and clearing the library>cache.) Any ideas? I'm not sure what to do!
More info:
It's a psd file.
There are only 2 layers on the files, one is a vector smart image.
I opened the file and was able to edit it fine on a friend's computer, no error messages whatsoever - so it's not a corrupt file. (But that doesn't solve my computer's dilemma.)
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have this same problem. I use Font Agent Pro and I only have about 50-ish foundry fonts activated. I'm wondering if anyone else has found a fix? The second I open Photoshop I get an error message and I have to force quit, let's not even begin thinking about opening a file.
I'm on OSX 10.6.8, running CS4. This is getting frustrating. I'm considering reinstalling the whole suite, there goes my entire evening.

  • Photoshop CS4 for Mac What can cause the error: Plug-in failed to load - NO VERSION

    With Photoshop CS4 for Mac I install the Kodak Plug-in DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional v2.1.0. When Photoshop starts I get an error:
    Plug-ins that failed to load:
       DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional v2.1.0 NO VERSION -  - from the file “DigitalAIRProv2.plugin”Flash:
       Connections
       Kuler
    This plug-in works fine on my Mac Pro with Photoshop CS4 and OS 10.6 but fails on a new Macbook Air.
    Reinstalling the plug-in did not make any difference. What can cause this error?

    Thanks Chris, That was my first thought too but this same plug-in works on another installation of CS4. This is a Mac installation and the plug-in is Universal so it should work. Is there any other possible cause for this error? Would Photoshop refuse to load a plug-in in a low memory situation?
    Also, The Flash extensions:Connections and Kuler are working OK, I just copied a little more out of the System Info report than I needed to.

  • Program error sur photoshop cs4

    could not complete your request because of a program error sur photoshop cs4 au moment de l'enregistrement

    Sounds like it did not install correctly. Uninstall, then reinstall. If that does not help, use the Adobe CC cleaner. It will remove all traces of your Adobe programs. Then do a normal install. If it still is not working, let us know.

    does anyone know what settings need to changed on outlook to be able to send and receive my me.com email?
    Worked perfectly since changing over earlier today.
    The message is

    Mail could not be received at this time.
    Account name: "Me"
    any ideas???

    you can't use icloud and outlook 2011 / Entourage 2008 for Mac. The app is not supported.  Maximum is Mail via IMAP, but no contacts,tasks,reminders will work.
    icloud works only fully with Apple Mac Lion built-in apps : ical, Mail, adress book.
    On a Windows-PC, Outlook is a complete different story and there it works with icloud.

  • Error message photoshop cs4 need help with

    I get this message when in view of pdf open - how do I do what it says to do win7 pc
    TIA

    There's not much you can do about that message. Depending on how much video card memory you have and the resolution of your monitor you'll only be able to open a limited number of windows and still have OpenGL acceleration. You'll have to either lower the resolution of your monitor (not recommended), buy a video card with more memory (i doubt it'll help a lot when dealing PDF's with a ton of pages), upgrade to Photoshop CS5 (it slightly sidesteps this issue) or just live with that limitation.
    Also, that's not an error message, it's just a warning telling you that you won't be able to use the OpenGL features on more than 25 (in your case) windows/documents at a time.

  • How to install english language adobe Photoshop CS4 for Mac OSX 10.7.5 ?

    Hello,
    I am in Germany and need to switch Photoshop to English.
    The option is not available in the language preferences (attached screenshot)
    I could only find an update for Mac OSX 10.4, but not 10.7?
    Please help!
    Thanks in advance!

    Languages are serial number specific. You cannot change them on the fly. If your serial number supports it, you would have to install it in English. anything beyond that is a hack like stripping the localization files from the app package...

  • Photoshop CS4 for Mac

    Looking at buying a new mac book air to replace my ageing iMac. Will my Photoshop CS4 still work on it? And as it has no disc drive, how can I get it installed?

    http://prodesigntools.com/tag/ddl
    Whether it will work or not is another question, but with a little manual intervention it should be possible.

    No, if you subscribe to Cloud it is not OS dependant and you can run either one.

    Looking to upgrade to CS4 on my mac, where can I purchase a copy with a serial number

    If you're upgrading, why would you want to just get CS4 and not CS6 - or CC?
    Chuck, you might be surprised when I tell you that, if it weren't for the advances in ACR since version 7.4, I would be doing all of my work in CS4, and that I know others who feel the same way.
    I still have versions 7.x through CS6 13.0.6 installed on my Macs.  I resort to CS4 very, very often. (Grain Surgery plug-ins that Adobe bought and killed, etc.)
    There are many folks who use Photoshop as our digital darkroom exclusively who feel more recent versions are just plain bloated.
    In many ways, even Ps 7.0.1 is plenty, if not for ACR.

  • How do I update camera raw plugin on photoshop cs4 for mac?

    I've just reinstalled PS cs4 on a new macbook pro - my camera raw files from a canon 5d mark 2 are not being recognized...
    I found out that I need to update the camera raw plugin to version 5.2.  I downloaded the plug in and the computer said it successfully installed the plug in
    but the camera raw files still aren't readable.... Any ideas?

    This the manual installer for camera raw 5.7
    Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Camera Raw 5.7 update
    The profiles are installed by double clicking on the downloaded Camera_Raw_5.7 dmg and double clicking on the cameraprofiles.mpkg
    Install the camera raw.plugin by going to (Macintosh hard drive)/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS4/File Formats and dragging the existing camera raw plugin to the Trash.
    Then drag the new camera raw plugin from the dmg to the same folder.

  • Maximize work area in Photoshop CS4 for Mac

    I just re-installed eveything due to the Snow Leopard incedent.
    Before, I used to be able to open a psd file or any file for that matter with photoshop and the entire screen was used. Now it opens to the size of the file I am opening. Is there a way to set it to defualt when I open a new file that it is in full screen mode?
    Attached is a screen shot of how it looks when I open a file:
    Foregive the incorrect shot, the tools menu is gone due to using the screen capture feature in my Dashboard. But i would like to open the file and have it fill my monitor instead of just the size of the file. I can set it to open full screen but I have to do it manually. I would like this to be default.
    If anyone has an idea of what i'm trying to doi, please let me know!
    Thanks,
    Michael Sigouin

    One last thing . . .
    I am using two monitors. My secondary monitor has all my tools as far as layer panels, colors, swatches etc...
    The main monitor has just the "artwork" area and main tools for the application.
    Ok, I think I know what I want it to do. I would like the file to open to "Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar". Also, when I open another file, have them tabbed at the top.
    Thanks again!

  • How do you get faux italics in photoshop CS4 for Mac

    I have some text that I need to make faux italics, but since macs do not have a right click, I do not know how to do so.  I have searched every menu and cannot find it.  Any help is appreciated.

    Mac do have a right-click provided you have a two or three button mouse , have had since the begining of OSX. It brings up a Context menu. You can emulate a Right click on a one button mouse, by holding down Control/Alt key then clicking Mouse.
