• "Could not initialize Photoshop because the disk is not available."?

  I've been happily turn Photoshop CS (1) on my Powermac MDD for years.

  But today, she is facing upward.  Here's the problem: I get the error message "could not initialize Photoshop because the disk is not available."

  I have studied this problem and see that it's been covered in the thread:
  http://forums.Adobe.com/thread/370672?start=0 & tstart = 0

  So I trashed preferences and the SFW prefs also.
  Now Photoshop starts... BUT as soon as I go into the preferences and assign a scratch disk, he failed once more to throw with the same error: "could not initialize Photoshop because the disk is not available."

  I tried to slide on the copies of the utility Photoshop of my backup disk files... but the same strange behavior persists.

  My Scratch disk is on a second internal hard drive.

  This all started when I had to restart from OS 9 order to use my SCSI scanner, which only has an OS9 driver.
  I used it for years with no problem... until today.

  Was it because once I saved the file in Photoshop 4 and OS9 on an OSX file that somehow the preferences got screwed up?

  Hello

  Maybe if you check Photoshop on the cover page of the victory 8 and choose Run as administrator from the options bar at the bottom of the page and then do the Ctrl Alt Shift.

• Error "could not initialize Photoshop because of a program error."

  When I try to open Photoshop cc on my new Mac, I get a message error that says "could not initialize Photoshop because of a program error."

  I brought all my data in front of my previous backup of my Mac hard drive.

  I had this problem before.

  How can I fix the problem?

  Forgive me for asking what is obvious, but did you actually download and install Photoshop on your new computer?

  The installation routine makes the necessary changes to your computer's system files.

  With Adobe products, simply by moving Applications from one computer to another will not work.

  After a week without the help of photoshop, I can no longer open it. Whenever I try this message appears: "Failed to initialize Photoshop because the preferences file has been deleted."

• Yosemite OS, cs6 ext, that's what I get when trying to open, could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it was deleted). Please help me

  Yesterday it was working fine, this morning, I tried to open cs6, and I get the above message. Tried to put the file in my laptop (copied to a USB key) and when I close all the windows files is not displayed again, and ps6 shows me this message above. I use a 27 "iMac computer. I've installed a plugin (WhiteWindowworkaround.plugin1_0_6.zip) to correct my problem of cursor. PLEASE HELP ME...

  The first thing I would try would be to manually reset preferences. If this fails, try to uninstall the plugin and see if the problem goes away.

  In case you don't know how to reset:

  Reset preferences

  (1) close the program, and then press Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Win) / command + Option + shift (Mac) (not reversible) starting

  or

  (2) move the folder. See:

• Could not initialize Photoshop because of a program error. Once again

  I believe that this question was asked several times but no seems to have an answer.

  I'm getting an Adobe Photoshop CC when who to launch "could not initialize Photoshop because of a program error."

  The error messesges of the PSErrorlog.txt are as follows:

  2014:03:07 11:49:35: Volumes/workarea/PS_14_Mac_Daily_Retail/20140207.r.570/photoshop/main/photoshop/xcode/... /sources/UActionsCore.cpp: 5206: REQUEST failed

  2014:03:07 11:49:36: Volumes/workarea/PS_14_Mac_Daily_Retail/20140207.r.570/photoshop/main/photoshop/xcode/... /sources/UActionsCore.cpp: 5206: REQUEST failed

  It is an end of 2013 Macbook Pro with OSX 10.9 Mavericks perfectly up-to-date.  Photoshopp CC is listed as up-to-date in the CC Manager and any other Adobe application seem to be carried out.

  Deleting the prefs and repeairing disk permissions have not helped.

  Any ideas?

  He has got to work!

  I don't know why, but remove the 'Adobe Photoshop CC Prefs.psp"reinstall after that worked.  I remove before reinstalling and it did not help.

  Best I can say is that the last update failed to install properly and in some sort the file above has been altered in the repair process.

  To sum up;

  -Save preference files

  -Remove the preferences using the uninstall Applications and Photoshop file

  -Quit and then relaunch cloud Creative Manager to update the list of applications

  -Download and install Photoshop from the CC Manager

  -Replace the workspaces and other necessary files excluding "Adobe Photoshop CC Prefs.psp" in the Preferences folder.

• has could not initialize photoshop because an unexpected end of file was encountered? Does anyone know how to fix this?

  Everything I try to open my CC photoshop I get "could not initialize photoshop because an unexpected end of file has been detected" is this someone knows how to fix this?

  I think the fix for that we should reset the preferences in Preferences > general.   I really hope it works, because I hate to put things the way I like them after a reset of preferences.

  Good luck
