"The operation could not be completed" at startup

I have been trying to figure this out for the last 3 days and have come up with nothing.  I still think my permissions are off somehow, but have not been able to get the program to work.  This is the error that displays when I go to start Bridge:
I have reinstalled OS X 10.6.4
I have used a couple of sudo commands to reset the permissions, I might not have used the right commands though. They may have been for Photoshop...  Im not great with the commands yet. 
I have reinstalled Photoshop hoping that reinstalling would have an effect on Bridge. 
At this point I am not willing to uninstall the entire suite.  If there is a simple solution for this problem I would love to hear any advice.  Why does the entire CS5 suite work except for Bridge? 
Thanks for the help!

At this point I am not willing to uninstall the entire suite.  If there is a
simple solution for this problem I would love to hear any advice. 
If you reinstall the Suite without deleting all preferences that probably
won't give a solution.
David thinks a new user account test will help to narrow the problem.
Although this is usual a good idea you already state you reinstalled the OS
itself??
Assuming you did not install from scratch but used archive and install the
user account should be refreshed.
Have you already tried the reset preferences for both Bridge and PS and also
in combination with that deleted the plist files from both applications??
And I tend to keep away from Terminal and don't  understand why you did not
use Apple Disk Utility for check and repair permission (or Cocktail for a
daily schedule??)

  • 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!

    2. Install "User Dumper" following Microsoft's article
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/241215
    3. Open "Control Panel -> Process Dumper", switch to tab Page of "Processing Monitoring"
    4. Click button "New", input "Bridge.exe" for "Application Name".
    5. Select "Bridge.exe" from list box, then click button "Rules", 
                    Select "Use Custom Rules",

  • 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 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?

  • Save for Web & Devices, The operation could not be completed

    I keep getting this error when I Save for Web & Devices: The operation could not be completed.
    I have saved for the web before for many more complex, larger images without a hitch.
    I am using a psd format with an image that I designed. It is no more complex than others I have done. It is small, just a horizontal navbar about the size of the one on Apple's website.
    I tried exporting it, flattening it, slicing it removing the slices.
    I think it is a problem with the application itself.
    I have tried repairing my permissions, restarting, and holding Cmd, Opt, Control, Shift during PS startup to reset the settings. Any insight would be appreciated.

  • 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 :-)

    Hi Friends...
    I’m trying to delete a back-up file on mu TC but I get the message “The operation could not be completed because the item “bands” is in use. I’d like to start the Back from scratch, could help me out with deleting the current file?

    Sorry, I am very confused. I asked the following question....
    Is this the only backup file on your Mac, or do you have other backup files and data on the Time Capsule disk?
    The answer that you gave was....
    This is the only one
    Now you are saying that....
    But I have lots of other files on Time Capsule! The back up file is only one of them.
    Can you clarify, please?

  • IMovie error message "The operation could not be completed"

    I am trying to create a new movie and got this error message " The operation could not be completed" after selecting the Themes.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    My problem was because I had moved my Movies folder from the system drive (which is an SSD) over to another drive with a larger capacity. I then created an Alias in my home folder.  Turns out this is what was causing the problem. I shoulda known. Some apps absolutely hate this. iMovie, being the dumbed down garbage that it is, simply MUST have it's library in a certain folder, apparently. Would be nice if we had a choice about it.
    I find Premiere Elements is actually the better (and friendlier) program. However in this case, I had to slum it with iMovie due to the Quicktime file I was working with.

  • The operation could not be completed because an item with the name xyz already exists

    I am trying to make a click and drag backup on an external FAT 32 drive to compliment my Time Machine backup (long story) and I've done this each time by dragging my critical folders into the drive. I get a message asking me to stop, replace or skip, and whether to apply to all items. i click replace, apply all, and let it go.
    however, one stubborn folder refuses to comply. every single time I click and drag a group of folder that includes that one, I get a message saying "the operation could not be completed because an item with the name xyz already exists" even after I selected the the "apply all" prompt. at which point, the Mac stops transferring ALL the other files.
    I figured, OK, i'll just transfer the other folders individually and then deal with this folder later. so I do that, and once I get to the offending folder, I try to transfer just that one folder into the drive. no good; I get the operation message again. I decide to just transfer the contents of the folder, rather than the folder itself. No good, I just get the operation message about one of the folders within the main folder.
    anyone know the cause, or at least a fix?

    If you've installed a system modification called "TotalFinder," remove it according to the developer's instructions after backing up all data. Log out, log back in, and try again.
    Otherwise, open the Info dialog on both the source and the destination volumes. What is the Format of each? For example, it might be "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".

  • 'The operation could not be completed. Access is denied' during delete.

    Hello World,
    Something happened while working in my Visual Studio 2010 Professional environment.
    When I delete a member from my Solution Explorer, it disappears from the memberlist, is marked as 'locked, deleted' and can be removed from TFS using Check-In. But during the delete process I get the message 'The operation could not be completed. Access
    is denied.'
    I'm an Administrator on my computer (manually adding/deleting members in my workspace and/or directly in TFS is not a problem). I get this message for every delete I perform, even in other Solutions!
    The member will remain in my workspace however. 
    Can anyone help me with this problem please?

    I'm using the new iMovie 10.0.6 with OS X Yosemite 10.10.
    This is the first time I access to iMovie after upgrade to Yosemite.
    When I try to begin a new movie and after select a theme the following message is shown:
    "The operation could not be completed.
    No other information is available about the problem"
    The technical information obtained from the console is:

    So, I can't use iMovie as I expected...
    Is anybody have this problem ?
    Thanks

    I had the exact same problem, working with apple support I had to uninstall iMovie and all the files connected with it and then download iMovie again.  The problem is you iMovie is not creating the library file it needs to save your work.
    Apple support was great at walking me through which files had to be deleted.
    good luck
