"Program Error" on PS CS3 start up

Hi, I just downloaded an Apple Security update ["Security Update 2010-003" (1.0)] AND downloaded the Acrobat and Reader updates. Both of the updates installed properly.
Now Photoshop CS3 on my Intel iMac AND PowerPC G5 tower will not complete startup. Before I do anything at all, I get the error, "Could not complete your request because of a program error". The palettes are visible, but the final shortcuts splash screen has not yet appeared on the screen.
To get out of this I must force quit from the dock icon.
I have seen this error before, but it was always associated with a corrupt file or corrupt font in the file. Now the error appears before I do anything - the dialog is also very persistent, you can click OK until the cows come home.
What can I do to fix it?
Thanks much,
Craig

This may be no use but 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, etc.) might also be beneficial.

Getting a program error while Photoshop CS3 is running.

I am running Photoshop Version 10.0.1 on a Mac Pro desktop running OS X Version 10.5.8. It is usually running as I normally do not quit the application. When I bring the Mac out of screen saver mode I have been getting notifications that it cannot perform a certain request because of a program error. I do not have any file open in Photoshop. How do I get the messages to stop?

Yeah, it's a MacOS bug in the screensaver code. Apple thinks they fixed the bug in MacOS 10.6, and I believe we worked around it in Photoshop CS4. In CS3 and 10.5.x, there's not much you can do.

Program Error Message on CS3

Just downloaded CS3 to new computer. I get a message "cannot use because of program error" when opening the clone tool. What do I need to do?

Trash the prefs as per the FAQ. Other than that, such messages can point to missing system DLLs (MSVC runtime and such), which has also been discussed a couple of times, so do a search on this forum.

Photoshop cs3 "could not complete your request because of a program error"

I have PS cs3 on powerpc mac ox 10.5.8, and have been using it for 3 years
or so perfectly. I started getting the "could not complete your request
because of a program error" when I was trying to open an ai eps (like I've
done before about 1000 times). Now, every time I open any file, I get this
error.
I removed everything PS cs3 from my computer (with the install disk) and
clean installed the program (after just throwing out the prefs, settings,
rebooting w/command/option, etc.). and now, same thing.
I called adobe support, and he said to go online, so here I am - wits end.
1. why do you think this happened initially and still (seems to be related
to fonts or the type tool because of error right away when I click that)?
2. what can I look for other than the prefs/settings that could be causing
it?
3. how do I fix it?
thanks for your help,
dan ([email protected])

Thanks, but I found that this worked in another post below:
I think it was a font issue, so I cleaned out some otf and ITC TT fonts (from Classic era)
and Deleted ~/Library/Caches/Adobe folder - think this is the key!
restarted PS and it's working now!
thanks!
Happy Macing

Moved Stone Sans OS ITC TT out of the ~/Library/Fonts/ folder
Deleted ~/Library/Caches/Adobe folder

CS3 "Could not complete your request because of a program error" message

I am running Photoshop CS3 and I just upgraded to leopard 10.5, the latest version of leopard. My processor is a dual 2.5 ghz powerpc G5 and I have 4.5 GB DDR SDRAM.
Upon opening the program (whether I'm opening a file or just opening the program) I'm getting a "Could not complete your request because of a program error," error message.
After clicking ok, I get infinite dialog boxes and have to force quit the program.
Any known solutions for this?

Yes, I had that happen this morning as well. That message appeared after I opened a psd file, when it asked if I wanted to update text layers. I clicked ok, the file opened (it's layers appeared in the layers palette), and that that program error dialog popped up immediately after. I never could get it to go away, it just kept appearing in succession. Were you trying to open the file over a network?

Photoshop CS3 Program Error

Since upgrading to Leopard I run Photoshop CS3 and I get a programming error message. I say OK and continue working. It also happens when I use the text tool.
Anyone else? Solutions?

Hello,
First try emptying your cache in your home directory folder (Home>Library>Caches). Trash everything located in the folder except the folder itself. Quit Photoshop if open and try again.
If that does not work, try deleting the preference file(s) for Photoshop (make sure Photoshop is closed).
If the above did not work at all, then I recommend uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop CS3.
I hope this helps!

'Error 8 occurred when starting the data extraction program'

Hello Experts,
I am trying to pull master data (Full upload) for a attribute. I am getting an error on BW side i.e. 'The error occurred in Service API .'
So I checked in Source system and found that the an IDOC processing failure has occurred. The failure shows 'Error 8 occurred when starting the data extraction program'.
But when I check the extractor through RSA3, it looks fine.
Can someone inform what might be the reason of the failure for IDOC processing and how can this be avoided in future. Because the same problem kept occurring later as well.
Thanks
Regards,
KP

PS CS3: "could not complete your request because of a program error"

Hi,
I am using Photoshop CS3 on Windows XP Pro (Upgraded from PS v7.0 a few months ago) on about 10% of my images I'm getting an the error:
"could not complete your request because of a program error"
when trying to save the file after doing changes to it. Oddly enough I do NOT get the error when doing "Save As" even after the recieving the error on a save. Nor do I get the error if I open one of the affected files in PS v7.
I believe from searching on line that the problem is "something to do" with the format of the metadata in the images. I am not sure exactly what, nor am I sure why it only affects about 10% of my images - all of which have been processed, captioned and keyworded the same way. However it is noticable that I cannot open "File info" dialog box in PS CS3 for any image that won't save. The error given is: "Could not complete the File Info command because of a problem with the File Info module"
Oddly, I CAN open the same File Info dialog box in Bridge CS3, I can change metadata via Bridge but then even after doing that the problems still exist when the image is opened in Photoshop.
At the moment, the ONLY work round I have is for each effected image, open it, do a "save as" - to save it under a different name delete the original image and then rename the image back to it's original name to ensure that my DAM can still locate the image.
I am a professional photographer with over 25,000 PSD files. As you can imagine it is impractical to manually open every image to see is affected. Can anyone think on any automated method to locate which images have the problem?
Does anyone have a fix to this problem? The workround above has one MAJOR drawback. Like most/all DAM users I locate and open my images from within my DAM (IMatch in my case). If I use the save-as/delete/rename method while the DAM is open I lose the data records associated with the image in the DAM. (The data is lost when the original image is deleted).
Any help would be appreciated. This is becoming a MAJOR problem for me.
Thanks,
Ian M Butterfield

Hi Rob,
I've uploaded one of the images to my server....
http://www.iphotos.co.uk/downloads/tmp/FA0309A-E02305.zip (30Mb download).
I wouldn't say that the "image" is corrupt - the "image" is fine and in fact "Save As" to a new filename corrects the problem altogether. What I would say is that PS CS3 isn't handling the metadata in some of my images correctly. I use a lot of different programs to view/edit/update both image and metadata. PS CS3 is ONLY program I have found that has any problem with the files.
I only have two makes of camera Canon 5D and 10D. I can't say for certain whether it affects 10D files as the vast majoity of images I'm working on are from my 5D. What I can say however that not all images from a given shoot with the 5D will be affected - only a small proportion of them.
Anyhow, please download the zip file and extract the PSD to a suitable location. Then open the image in PS CS3 from that location. Make a minor edit to the image and you will see that PS CS3 can't save the file. Quit. Open the image again and select "File | File Info" and you will see the other error message. If you open the file and do "save as" to a new filename and repeat the above step everything works as it should.
If this was just a single file that I was having problems with I'd put up with the work round of "Save as" to correct the problem. But with 25,000+ PSD files and at a guess a random 10% of my files being affected you can imagine how frustraiting this is.
Thanks,
Ian.

PS CC 2014 can't start on Mac OSX "Unable to initialize Photoshop due to a Program error"

I just downloaded and installed Adobe Creative Cloud including Photoshop CC 2014 and Lightroom on an iMac and a Macbook, both with OS OS X 10.10 (14A389).
On both Macbook and iMac i get the same error when I try to start PS CC 2014: "kon photoshop niet initialiseren vanwege een programmafout". Or in English: "Unable to initialize Photoshop due to a Program error".
In PSErrorLog.txt (~/Library/Preferences/Photoshop CC 2014 Settings/PSErrorLog.txt) I see:
2015:01:24 13:57:05 : /Volumes/workarea/PS_15_Mac_Daily_Retail/20141204.r.310/photoshop/main/photoshop/sources/ UColorState.cpp : 737 : REQUIRE failed
I uninstalled and reinstalled: doesn't help
The use of Cleaner Tools didn't solve the problem
How can I get PS CC 2014 up and running ??

On another simular question was the answer:
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.
Those files are missing. Uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't put hem back in place.

I keep getting message in cs3 "could not print (filename) due to program error!" why?
