• After updating Photoshop Photoshop update 2014 CC - CC "cannot save preferences because the file is locked...". "Error

  Last update of the latest Version of Photoshop on brand new Photoshop CC 2014 CC. Everything worked fine before the update! After installing Photoshop CC 2014, when I try to change Photoshop CC preferences, I get the error ' after updating Photoshop CC to update Photoshop CC 2014 - "cannot record Preverences because the file is locked, you don't have the necessary access permissions or another program of dissemination of the file" when I want to close Photoshop for the changes in preferences in force... ". So what to do? What file doesn't have enough permissions? Where can I find the file? And why it has worked before and not now? An idea for a fix? Running on a new Mac Pro with the OS X Maverics 10.9.3 latetest

  I had the same problem on Mac OS. And I could not migrate the settings. Launch as resetting preferences suggest here, has not solved the problem. I had to go to the library main folder Preferences and reset the permissions for the file Photoshop CC 2014 paths Photoshop CC 2014 folder and Settings. I am disappointed that Adobe has shipped an upgrade with such a fundamental flaw. I think I should say something derogatory and disparaging about Adobe, quality control, on the way as a loyal customer, using Photoshop since version 2.5 and a Subscriber CC, expecting better. But I'll leave these comments for others.

• cannot save as # because the file is not found

  Using photoshop elements 11 (updates are current) using window 10 operating system... after installation of the updates of Windows 10 (without a restore point saved... yes I'm a fool)... photoshop began to act up.  On all but the drive root (C :), when I put them in a file jpg for editing and then try to save it with a changed name using the command file save as...) I get the message noted.  It makes no sense since I am trying to rename the file by using the Save as command for a new unique name.  The Save command works fine as long as I don't have to rename the file.  The previously described problem does not happen if I do this using the main C: drive, but it occurs on all the other drives. E:, W:, Z; J: etc.  I can't restore so I went to reinstall photoshop like my only option unless someone has a solution.   Thank you

  Reinstalled Photoshop elements 11 with no changes or improvements to the problem.  I've found a workaround which is a pain in the Azz...

  Whenever I have photoshop edit a JPG image, I always hit "save under" and add an E in the back of the name of the image... it always worked well until recently (as explained above)... to get the message "can not save as # because the file is not found". ""   The workaround works is that a PAIN is to type "E.jpg" instead of just "E"...

• The action cannot be completed because the file is open in Windows Explorer.

  OK, it seems to be coming a lot but no one was able to respond (including Microsoft) so I'll ask, and be as specific as possible.

  Because I work with vector art that I constantly have to save files by crush the and everything was cool with WinXP pro.  I have Win7 Pro and everything was cool, until recently.  Whenever I tried to overwrite my files, I would get an error message saying that the file was either dead or opened elsewhere, but it has happened about 50% of the time.  A launch the re-registration of files with different names.  After obtaining the files re-registered I then try to remove and rename files, but found I couldn't do it anymore, as I was constantly getting the error message "The action cannot be completed because the file is open in Windows Explorer."  Closing and reopening the browser do nothing.  Someone said if not empty the trash bin works, but not for me.  The files are on an external drive, I tried to disable the cache of writing by Device Manager and Windows Management Console (or other) frozen and took the pc with it (nice work, MS!).  Reboot seems to fix the problem for a bit, but he returned quickly and randomly.  It also seems to randomly select to lock files.  Some files I can not change, some that I can.  Others begin to operate after some time of inactivity.

  I tried to disable thumbnails in Explorer and even added a DWORD NoThumbnailCache in the registry, but it still happens.  Basically, I'll have to save all of the new files over and over again and that from time to time be able to remove the "old" while being only randomly too write others.  This question seems to be infestation Vista and Win7 and people have waited for a fix, Microsoft, but was mum on the issue.  If anyone can come up with a solution, it would be great.  It is killing my productivity!

  Common guys...
  Im having this problem too and I've been thought IE9 is at the origin of the problem, some how, I don't want to disturb...

  Here are some solutions:
  Please note that I'm looking, there is not any solution patch for this program by Microsoft, you can maintain it yourself. And correct solutions in this way losses.

  Solution 1: Use CMD.
  0 - note the following 3 steps will complete the process explorer.exe, so your desktop and windows Explorer all open files and any associated process would stop.
  1. run the Task Manager. (by pressing ctrl + shift + esc or etc)
  2 - go to the processes tab.
  3 - find "explorer.exe" and click on the button "complete the process". If you find several explorer.exe, kill them all.
  4. now, click the menu file-> new task (run...)
  5 type CMD, and then click OK.
  6. now you can do something you couldn't have done before with this user interface. Some useful commands:
  -cd: change the current directory. Use 'CD..' to the 'button' in windows Explorer.
  -dir: lists the existing file and folders in the directory current. Use ' dir/p' to the list in the pages.
  -del [file name]: removes the file [filename] existing in the current directory.
  -Rename [name of file] [new file name]: rename the file [old file name] existing or a file existing in the current directory to [new file name].

  Solution 2: Use a different file manager.
  0 - install and run another Manager file as "XYPlore".
  1 Note that the following 3 steps will end your explorer.exe process, so your desktop and windows Explorer all open records and all other related processes would cease.
  2. run the Task Manager. (by pressing ctrl + shift + esc or etc)
  3 - go to the processes tab.
  4 - find "explorer.exe" and click on the button "complete the process". If you find several explorer.exe, kill them all.
  5. use XYPlore UI and do what you want.
  Please note that the problem could happen with this kind of external explorers too. So close any file and go into a secure after your working directory.

  Solution 3: Do it yourself!
  If you can program, there are some codes that might help you. These codes which talks about Im, says MS Windows to remove your annoying pinned files just before you shut down the system.
  Here is an example:
  MoveFileEx ('C:\windows\system32\ld21E.tmp', nil, MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING or MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT);
  This code will work correctly in Delphi from Borland compilers, and as you can see, the "ld21e.tmp" file is deleted after compiling this code and restart your windows.

  I wish I can do better, as to publish an Explorer that do what you want automatically, so I hope that these can be useful.
  Some how you can check this thread too, it may be useful:

• Try to remove a CD image file, get the error message "this action cannot be completed because the file is open in another program.

  I am trying to remove a file from CD image (.img) of my office

  When I try to put it in the bin I get the message

  "The action cannot be completed because the file is open in another program close the file, and then try again"

  First, I checked the obvious things like if the .img file was mounted in a virtual drive - it isn't so I then used LockHunter to find which application is using the file so I can close by the Task Manager.

  Unfortunately LockHunter told me that the file is used by 'System' - which cannot be closed through the TM.

  Any help?

  The problem is that the program that allows you to mount the image always uses the image.  In my case I used the magical disc. Go to the start menu find the magic disk or folder folder, there should be an option to uninstall the magic disc. I tried UN-installing conrtol add and remove programs but it wouldn't let me. You can also click on computer in Start menu and see if the file you want to remove is always mounted (appears as a CD image). In this case that you can click the eject disc hit.

• The Action cannot be performed because the file is open in another program

  I get an error after a few seconds of trying to move several files from my PC Win 7 for Mac OS Maverick, that there is a file already in the destination on Mac. This is true, but it was just put there because I copy over to the same action.  It reads 0Kb and wasn't there until I started.  Then I get an error: the Action cannot be performed because the file is open in another program.  Close the folder or file, and then try again...

  If I click on it a bunch of hold or wait, it takes about 45 seconds. I have to do with all the files, and it occurs when copying from PC to Mac.  PC-to-PC was never a problem.  I even rebooted both computers, so nothing is using all the files.  If I copy a file at a time, I get no error.

  So, I have a single file to not move, no problem.  If move 5 files, the first is fine, but it presents all 5 files in the folder at a time.  All the other files that the first show 0kb. I get the already existing for the error file, and select move and replace.  Can I get the Action cannot be performed because the file is open in another program.  I wait or click several times until it starts to move the file.  This file tells something then other than 0 kb.  When it's done, the error process starts all over.  In Mac, nobody seems to have any idea.

• How can I fix Camera Raw in CS6? I get "cannot complete request because the file was not found."

  How can I fix my Camera Raw in Photoshop CS6? I tried to view a NEF file in CS6, but he said that I had to update my Camera Raw to 7.3 (I had 7.0). I went online and the only thing I could find was 8.6 download so that I started with it and installed something and it did not work and then he told me that I could not download 8.6 because my OS X isn't 10.7 (I 10.6.8). Now when I return to photoshop it gives me this error "cannot complete request because the file is not found" and I can not open JPEGs in photoshop.  I tried to turn off my computer, hide, delete and uninstall photoshop and put it back. Still no luck. No idea how can I fix?

  Follow these instructions to manually update your plug-in ACR to 8.3 of ACR, which was the last version compatible with your operating system:

• Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 - unable to complete your request because the file is locked...

  I support a user of Photoshop CC 2014, which attempts to open multiple .jpg on his local computer files, but gets an error message: could not complete your request because the file is locked, you don't have the necessary access permissions or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in Windows Explorer to open the file. However, not all the files are affected, and many display a thumbnail of the image and allow the user to open the file. I checked the properties of the file and everything seems normal, and the user is a local administrator on the computer. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  

  Kind regards

  Hi martyw,

  If the problem is only with few files, whether they are corrupted or locked (only permission to read)

  Please try to open the file in any other image editing program and save it as a Jpeg again.

  Then try to open the file duplicate in Photoshop.

  Kind regards

• Anyone know how to solve my problem? I can't import my photos from Iphone to computer. Sign says: Photos in the camera cannot be imported because the IPhone is locked with a password or read. My phone is unlocked. I've tried everything

  Anyone know how to solve my problem? I can't import my photos from Iphone to computer. Sign says: Photos in the camera cannot be imported because the IPhone is locked with a password or read. My phone is unlocked. I tried everything, every single idea. Without success! Any other idea?

  For example, you specify that the device does not display the lock screen, correct? Do you use Touch IDS? If so, try to put your finger on the device to see if it's what he wants.

  See you soon,.
