Why do I get a program error when changing colors?

I get a 'Could not complete your request because of a program error' when I try to change colors on both the forground/background palette or from the color picker palette.  Is there a patch for this?
I am using Photoshop CS6 version 13.0.1.x64

Hi. Because this forum is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I'm moving your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum.

  • Why do I get a program error when trying to save a file

    I've loaded and reinstalled photoshop elements 3 times. I can not save any files. all i get is cannot save file do to  program error message'
    this is a brand new product with a program error and they want me to pay them to fix there problem. it ain't right.

    which version of Photoshop Elements are you using? Also, do tell us about the flavour of Operating System you are using and the format in which  you are trying to save your file.
    You can also try saving your file to a different location( e.g. desktop) to check if your computer has any permission issues

  • Windows 7: CS6: Getting a Program Error when flipping foreground and background colors

    Yesterday, I started getting an error when trying to set the default colors and then flipping them. I also get a program error when I try to click on the foreground color and manually assigning it with white.
    This is a Windows 7 Ultimate, with PS CS6.
    I closed the program twice and ran into the same problem, then rebooted and got the same errors.  As far as I can tell, this is the only tool or feature acting up, other than the actions which have this step in them.
    Looking for an easy fix first, of course.  Like maybe deleting the Prefs file? Mac people seem to have to do that regularly.
    But, if nothing works, will I need to uninstall PS and reinstall it? Would that also mean I'd have to install all of my filter packages again, too?
    Thanks in advance,
    M. Jackson

    Noel,
    To date, I have only restarted PS, and only rebooted and restarted PS.
    I have not done any other steps. I am open to anything that keeps me from having to reload, mainly because of all of the filters, presets, actions, and so forth I'd have to find to reload from scratch.
    And, please note, I am on a PC. The Command-Shift-Option is a Mac command. I assume, on a PC that would be Control-Shift-Alt?
    Thanks again,
    Mike Jackson

    Why am I getting a -50 error when moving music to my iTouch?

    As Jim as stated, you do not want the OS, video app, and media all competing for hard drive access.
    It may have worked before, but that doesn't mean will work henceforth, as you have learned.

  • Why am I getting the 404 error when on pinterest?

    Why am I getting the 404 error when on pinterest?  This is happening on my iMac and macbook.
    I have tried to clear my history, tried in safari and in firefox, enabled and disabled Javascript, and allowed 3rd party sites.
    Please help!!

    No you are not alone. I tried to create an apple ID and then access the app store and itunes and got the same error code. Spoke with tech support for over 45 minutes and we tried everything. Tech support seemed to think that it had something to do with credit card registration. Suggested that I use a different credit card. I modified my account settings with a different card and still had the same errors. At this time I have no confidence that Apple has any idea what the problem is.

  • Why do I get "unknown validation error" when I sign into MobileME and Aperture on my laptop?

    I am unable to sign into my Mobile Me in System Preference and therefore Aperture will not load photos from my stream.  When I attempt to do so I get "Unknown Validation Error    Your MobileMe member name or password may be invalid. Please enter a different name or password"
    Yet I am able to sign into iCloud and all my devices with the EXACT same Apple ID and password. What's up?

    I hate to break it to you, but MobileMe no longer exists.

  • Why am I getting a Program Error?

    When I am trying to change color from the foreground/background palette or from the swatch color palette?  This is an example.
    I am using Photoshop CS6 and the 13.0.1.x64

    I can hover over the foreground color icon and the color palette with show up.  I click my selection of color and click on OK and the error popup  says ‘Could not complete your request because of a program error’ and this happens when I want to select a color from the swatches.
    I have a quick video to show if you need to see it.

  • Why am I getting an URL error when iCal tries to access my google apps calendar?

    My previously synced and normal google calendar for work was syncing fine with OSX's native Calendar app. Then I updated to to Mavericks, now my Calendar app is showing a URL error when trying to access my work calendar.
    Our company uses a google apps business account, so our domain isn't gmail.com - in fact our domain acutally uses .asia.
    Any ideas on how I can solve this? I've tried to re-link the account numerours times.....

  • Why do I get an undelivered error when sending pictures via iMessage?

    When I send picture messages to other iPhone users, I get an error that it was undelivered even though the other person received the picture. I have to send the message as a text to remove the error on my phone. Then the other person receives the same message multiple times. I do not have this issue when I send a picture to a non-Apple phone

  • Why am I getting Installation Failed error when running Install package?

    Enterprise license holder here. Mac. I've installed ccplauncher, run it, and am now trying to run the Install.pkg. I'm getting an error:
    Already tried running disc permissions, still nothing. Erased all old versions of CS (5, 5.5, 6) from my HD using AppCleaner so no resources or plists left behind before installing CC.

    Jeff,
    You may want to use /Utilities/Console and look at /Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers to see where the failure is actually occurring. Even though it's one install package, it's installing each application in sequence. If only one fails (and all the others succeed) you'll still see the message you received. There can be a lot in the logs, but you can use the Spotlight field to filter out the lines with "return code." Anything other than "0" (zero) indicates something that didn't complete. You can also look for words like "error" or "fail".
    There are a bunch of things that can cause an error. I've sometimes had a problem with packages that include a lot of updates but rebuilding them seemed to fix it. Finding out exactly where the error is happening is a big help when you contact support.
    I realize this isn't a solution, but hope it helps.

  • Why am I getting a "connection error" when trying to buy a paid app in the Mac App Store?

    Okay, so I am currently running OS X Mountain Lion on a brand new Macbook Pro 15 inch (early 2013). I haven't had any problems so far. However, today I tried buying a $10 app in the app store, and when I put in my login credentials to validate the purchase, it showed a loading wheel for about five minutes, then showed in red text, "Connection Error," just below the login fields. I've researched this issue and found it to be a bug in Lion... but no solutions for Mountain Lion. Any ideas?
    I tried doing the thing with the Keychain Access, but there were no blue pluses under "Certificates." I should also mention that my network connection is fine.
    Thanks in advance fellow Apple dudes!

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Select "/var/log/install.log" from the file list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, start over and note the time. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
