  • 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.

    My business is at a halt cannot find a fix from Apple

    Did you run the cleaner after uninstalling and before reinstalling?

  • 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#

    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

  • "Could not use the ***** because of a program error"

    I'm using Photoshop CS CC on the new Mac which looks like a rubbish bin, and keep receiving "Could not use the ***** because of a program error". Does anyone know a work around or fix as I can't work with photoshop.

    There seem to be recurring permissions errors for Photoshop running under OS X Mavericks. You might check into disk utility : repair permissions, or very carefully manually altering permissions here and there.
    Not entirely sure this relates to your issue, but it might help:  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1404674?tstart=0
    And  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1403095?tstart=120
    And I'm sure you can search for several more threads related to permissions issues with Mavericks. I think Apple needs to do an update to Mavericks. But with careful permissions alteration, you can probably get PS working.
    Once you're pretty secure in what permissions can change and what permissions should never change, you can Google a permissions utility called BatChmod. It rocks, is extremely powerful, and in the wrong hands can destroy your entire system.  :+)  So be careful ...

  • 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. 

  • 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.

  • PSE 6- Error: Could not load style because of a program error.

    I have PSE 6 on Vista. My program has always run fine until a few days ago when it started up a small white window pops up with a red X that says Could not load the styles because of a program error. I hit ok and the box keeps coming back. I can't do anyint in PSE and I have to end task to close out of the program. How do I fix this.

    Delete MediaDatabase.db3 file from location C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\7.0\Locale\en_US and launch elements again.
    This would rebuild the layer styles and all.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Could not complete request because of a program error

    I am constantly getting the aforementioned message when I try to import video frame to layers and open video files on Photoshop CS6. I'm running on OSX 10.10.2 I've gone thru all the discussion boards on adobe communities as well as the instructional videos in an attempt to solve this problem and still nothing. Moreover, I uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times are there any other that will effectively address my problem out there?
    Thanks in advance.

    See if the video opens in Bridge, then from Bridge, right-click and open in Photoshop.

  • 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?

  • Photoshop CC constantly bringing up error "Photoshop could not complete request because of a program error" Help!! How do I fix this?

    I have recently been having an error message pop up every now and  then in photoshop CC.  It usually happens after editing every other photo.  It goes away if I close out of photoshop and load it back up. But then it comes back after another couple photo edits. Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this?
    Thanks!
