  • Could not initialize Photoshop because of a program error" with PS CC 2014

    I get "Could not initialize Photoshop because of a program error" with PS CC 2014 on a 2099 Macbook Pro running Mavericks. Then the program closes. Can anyone help?

    Could be corrupt preferences, a problem with the OS font cache, or some other problem with the OS.
    First, try resetting the preferences.

  • CS 5.1 Mac....  Could not initialize Photoshop because of a program error.

    CS 5.1 Mac....  'Could not initialize Photoshop because of a program error.'
    I changed my security preferences and still get the same thing poping up.  I am not able to open PS CS5.1 on my mac.
    What should I do or even where do I go if I need to re-install CS 5.1? I have my Lic#
    MikeNewsome.com

    I don't think the application installation would be corrupt because I uninstalled and re-installed according to adobe and all the times I did so, it was from adobe website.  and I am thinking about the OS, if that were corrupt, a lot more applications, ... would be giving me problems.
    It is only PS. I am almost at wit's end trying to solve this issue. I would have thought re-insatlling program (prob did this about 10 times), would solve any issues.  I did use the cc cleaner but only yesterday as a last resort. I just don't know where to go with this problem.
    when 1st happened I just uninstalled and reinstalled a few times and when that didn't solve anything, also then ran utility programs a few times.all the while deleted prefs

  • Photoshop CC: Could not open Photoshop because of a Program Error. How do I fix this?

    Photoshop CC: Could not open Photoshop because of a Program Error.
    How do I Make sure your OS X user account has Read & Write access for the following path:
    /Users//Library/Preferences/Adobe

    Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details like the actual crash logs. From your description it simply sounds like your graphics hardware is acting up, so update the graphics driver. Likewise, you may simply run out of disk space for the PS scratch file, so check that, too.

  • Can not open photshop CC 2014     ERROR  could not initialize Photoshop because of a program error

    Hi
    I can not open Photshop CC 2014
    ERROR
    could not initialize Photoshop because of a program error

    I've had the same error happen to me.  I deleted the preferences file, updated JAVA, etc.  none of which worked.
    I've spent days systematically working to isolate the variable that seems to make Photoshop work one day and "not initialize" the next.  I simply can't afford to stop work when Photoshop doesn't want to initialize due to: PSOWLListenerProxyBaseCocoa.mm : 52 : REQUIRE failed
    Apologies, but I REQUIRE YOU TO INITIALIZE!
    I think that I've isolated the problem.  I have a dual monitor set-up.  Sometimes I use the second monitor and sometimes I don't, sometimes monitor 2 is powered on and sometimes it's not.  It's really the only thing with any variance on my system.  I disconnected my second monitor.  Then I clicked the Photoshop icon and the program opened...
    I am running OS X 10.9 and Photoshop CS 5.1
    There appears to be a link between Photoshop not wanting to initialize and Graphics Card / Monitors.

  • CS5 Could not initialize Photoshop because of a program error

    Friday I did work as usual editing and cropping images from my PSD files. Over the weekend I did not work but checked email and performed an Apple update, the new one where iPhoto goes away and now I have Photos. Monday I tried to open Photoshop and got the above error. I took my machine to my local expert. He tried deleting preferences and  deleting the settings file. Still I get the error. I created a new user and Photoshop works l fine. This is frustrating. I have searched the web and have tried every solution possible to no avail. Why would performing the latest Apple update screw up Photoshop. I am extremely frustrated. Has anyone found a solution?

    Excuse the delay Mioweb. I had to be away for some business, but I hope to stay with this. Seems you got some good technical help as well.
    So I'm surprised the update did not work. I might warn you CS5's Help > Update function is outdated. It doesn't play well at all with Adobe's update servers at all and should not be used. I recommend the direct download links I gave you and the manual install.
    If you go to Help > System Info  Look at Photoshop Version on the first line, it should be 12.0.4 not 12.0 The update link I gave you is for English, are you using a foreign language edition?
    So we could look at third party plugins or Extensions you installed in your account.
    Hold down Shift when starting up disables plugins and you can see if that stops the crashes.
    You have Extension Manager CS5 Adobe - Exchange : Download the Adobe Extension Manager
    And CS5's Extension Manager is now at version 5.0.3 Updates here: Adobe Extension Manager Updates Downloads
    Then you can check and uninstall any suspect Extensions.
    Printer Drivers can cause problems too. Try seeing if the problem goes away if you uninstall and update them.
    While I sure your Tech did a fine job reinstalling your system, If he retrieves your account account from backup and the problem is in there, the problem remains.
    So that should be enough for now.

  • PS CC stopped opening. Error message:"could not initialize photoshop because of a program error."

    I bought PS CC yesterday. It's been working fine, including earlier tonight. I closed it and tried to open it again and got the above message. Thank you for your help.

  • Can't open Photoshop CC.  "could not initialize photoshop because of a program error"

    What's the latest fix-it for this.  Many of you have the same issue but there are so many different answers.  Confusing (especially since I am a novice at this).

    Do you receive a download or update errors... or does the program install but then will not run?

  • Could not initialize Photoshop because of a program error.

    This is the first time I've had this problem with photoshop. I'm not sure what to do. I have Adobe CC. I want to unistall it and then reinstall to see that helps but Im not sure how to do that.

    Yesssss. I'm hoping I didn't get stiffed too. We shall see. I have now successfully installed on my laptop so that's odd. I opened Even Viewer but it's all Greek to me. Could that be an incorrect Windows language setting . So I'm not sure where to look in that. Can you help any further? I truly appreciate your help.

  • My partner deleted my itunes (10) library. I use a WD external back-up and retrieved my itunes library, but when i try to play a song i get the message 'could not be used because the original file could not be found Would you like to locate it?'

    My partner deleted, by accident my itunes library. I have an iMac 10.6.7, Itunes 10. I use an WD passport as an external back up and retrieved my itunes library but now get the message "could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" so itunes is not recognised the exclamation marked songs, how do i get the retrieved files recognised. At times I get fed-up with Apple blocking files being used, although I like the product its restrictions are so silly!

    You not only have to retrieve the library file from the backup drive but the actual music files (usually stored within the "iTunes Media" folder) as well.

  • I am unable to add Firefox for some reason. I get a message that "the addon could not be downloaded because of a connection error on Mozilla.addons..."

    I am running Firefox 10 on my MacBook Pro. I have tried several times to download the Firebug addon, but get the following message:
    "The addon could not be downloaded because of a connection error on Mozilla.addons.org"

    Type '''about:config''' in the Location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key. When you see a warning, click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' button.
    -> right-click somewhere, click '''New''' -> select '''String'''
    * name it '''xpinstall.enabled''' and set the value to '''True'''
    -> Close the '''about:config''' tab and then Restart Firefox.
    All the downloads should work now. If you delete this value some time later it still works.
    Check and tell if its working.

  • When I try to open a file in photoshop CS, Elements or Lightroom I get the message "Could not complete request because it is not the right kind of document"  This just started happening today.

    When I try to open a file in photoshop CS, Elements or Lightroom I get the message "Could not complete request because it is not the right kind of document"  This just started happening today. The only thing I have done differently is change my file handling to raw + jpeg on my Nikon 7100. 

    I downloaded camera raw 8.7 and I am now able to open my raw and jpeg files.   Thanks

  • I keep getting " The song**** could not be used because the original file c

    Ok, I'll try not to get my problem too confusing or complicated. Had a virus and had pc repair store wipe and reload my operating system. They backed everything up and put it in a folder on my desktop. I reinstalled i-tunes. Opened i-tunes. checked my library. Everything is there but duplicated. I manually dumped all duplicates.(That was fun!) I try to play songs. I keep getting " The song** could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
    I locate my i-tunes files in C drive, docs/settings, my docs, i-Tunes, i-Tunes music. I see an icon showing MPEG4 with a musical note and little "lock" symbol in the corner. I double click that icon and i-Tunes opens up and the songs starts playing. If I shut my pc down and restart it, go to i-tunes find that song and click it it always plays now. Okay that's one song fixed. Also if I find the icon in C drive again the little lock symbol is gone. Now down to the meat of my question; am I going to have to do this individually with all 2700 songs? Please tell me a faster way.
    Thank you

    If you know where all songs are located on the computer, I'd suggest just removing everything from iTunes and then adding it back in.
    Edit > Select All
    Edit > Delete
    *Choose the option to Remove from library
    *If prompted to move to recycle bin, choose Keep File
    Then click File > Add Folder to Library and navigate to the folder on your hard drive that has your music in it. You can choose your iTunes Music folder, for example, and this will incorporate any subfolders you have stored in there.
    The lock icon suggests that the file is "protected," so most likely purchased from the iTunes store.
