Photoshop :: Error / Could Not Initialize Photoshop Because Disk Is Not Available

Mar 1, 2013

Version 8.0 / I have 2 Macs, MacBook with 10.6.8 and iMac with 10.8.2.  Previously ran Version 8.0 on both for years with 10.6.8 before updating iMac to 10.8.2.  I know that version 8.0 will not run on 10.8.2, so I made a startup disk from the MacBook to run 10.6.8 and version 8.0 on the iMac.  Works fine, except that I cannot start version 8.0. 

I get the screen message:  "Could not initialize Photoshop because disk is not available. "

What can I do to run my old version of the iMac?

Photoshop :: Scratch Disk Can't Be Created / Disk Error

Mar 29, 2012

Windows 7, had everything working fine. Added SSD and installed system from scratch on SSD. Old drive is now my second drive.
 
Trying to put the scratch disk on the second (old) drive to reduce wear on the SSD. But every time I do, I get the disk error message and it erases all my settings (so annoying!)
 
I figure it's a permissions thing since I've had to deal with that already to some degree, but I don't know how to fix it since I don't know where adobe is trying to save the scratch file.

Photoshop :: Error / Could Not Initialize PS Because There Is Not Enough Ram

Apr 13, 2013

I have CS5 and lately I have been getting this error message: "could not initialize photoshop because there is not enough ram." I have a new computer that is running Windows 8 and has 32 Gigabytes of ram. Whatever the problem actually is, it's not because I don't have enough ram! I can fix it for a while by reboting my computer.

Photoshop :: CS6 Program Error On Launch - Could Not Initialize

Apr 16, 2013

Come across an issue when starting Photoshop CS6 and a windows error prompts with:
 
"Could not initialize Photoshop because of a program error"
 
I had x1 Illustrator file open at the same time as I launched the Ps app. I had to close the .ai file and re-try opening Photoshop again. There are a lot of little glitches with CS6 that I'm encountering more & more of. Is this common? or just a local problem with my hardware?I'm running Windows XP (32bit) with the latest service pack, & all CS6 apps were downloaded via Adobe Application manager.

Photoshop Elements :: 9 Does Not Open - Cannot Initialize Because Of Program Error?

Jun 6, 2012

I have Photoshop Elements 9 installed on my computer (MacBook Pro running Lion). However, I had not used it for a couple of months because I was using the CS6 beta, which finally expired. When I tried to open PSE9, the splash screen loads fine and finishes loading everything, but when it disappears I get a dialog of "Cannot open Photoshop Elements because of a program error."
 
This is while running on my main admin account. It opens normally on another admin account which I do not use often, except for some text encoding issues which were not present before.

Photoshop :: Error :: Could Not Initialize Photo Shop Because The File Is Locked

Aug 21, 2008

Upon starting Photo shop CS, I get the message "Could not initialize Photo shop because the file is locked. Use the 'Properties command in Windows Explorer to unlock the file."

Which file are they referring to "unlock"? And I don't see an option in Windows Explorer that allows you to "unlock" a file.

This problem started after I improperly tried to create a new scratch disk. I can't get back into Photo shop to recreate a proper scratch disk.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: INTERNAL ERROR / Cannot Initialize ASI On Program Startup

May 6, 2010

This is happening in both Map 3D 2011 and Civil 3D 2011 directly on startup and I can seem to get a straight answer as to what is causing this, or how to fix it. The automatic response was to download a fix for the language pack, but that didnt work. Standard AutoCAD 2011 works without any issues, same with ecotect.

Ive already uninstalled and re-installed both of the problem programs.

Im running Win 7 Pro 64-bit.

Photoshop :: (Could Not Print Because Of A Disk Error) - CS 5.5?

Oct 30, 2012

System specs:
MacPro3,1
2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
OS 10.6.8
18 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT graphics card
Photoshop 12.1 x 64
 
So I just purchased and installed my first copy of an Adobe Suite and now I can't print. Back story: I had CS4 on my machine from my last job and it printed fine. When I lost my job, I went the legit route and installed the demo for CS 6 until I was able to aquire my own copy. CS 6 also printed fine.

I found a version on eBay of CS 5.5 and was eager to install. Yes, it is a full legit version with original disc and packaging; the seller even went so far as to have the liscence transfered over to me. I used the "AdobeCreativeSuiteCleanerTool" to remove all previous versions before doing a clean install of CS 5.5. Everything else in the suite seems to be running normally except printing.
 
I've looked on the forums and tried several of their suggestions to no avail:
1) I tried changing the "Color Handling" in the print options box.
2) I tired running it in 32 bit mode.
3) I tried fixing permissions.
4) I trashed my preferences and tried the Shift-Option-Command trick
5) I updated the Adobe software (no updates for Photoshop)
6) I reinstalled my printer drivers.
 
I just printed last night from CS 6 and now no luck today.

Photoshop :: Scratch Disk Error

Lately when I try to crop an image in Photoshop CS2 (9.0.1) I get the message that the function could not be completed because the scratch disk was full.

I only have a "C" drive and I have over 15 gig free. I have optimized the hard drive and that didn't do anything . Can someone help me with this problem?

VideoStudio :: Error / Failed To Initialize Video Capture Plugin

May 1, 2012

After not having much luck with the last video card, I changed my video card to a device with the Philips 713x chipset

Now when I select video capture I get the following message:
failed to initialize the video capture plugin
Open driver failed
(15200:43:0)
(15023:4:2)
cannot create the video capture filter

I have just installed card (SAA7130 TV PCI card) with latest drivers excluding the software so Video Studio 12 pro is the only capture software on the machine . I also re-installed both card and Video Studio after doing a complete system restore and used CC cleaner to remove any residual data before re-installing.

I need to use video capture within the Video Studio software as I need to use the scene detection functionality.The reason I had to change the card in the first place is that video studio only allowed me to capture in AVI 320x240 and gave 'capture failed' errors with anything else.

Photoshop :: Scratch Disk Error OSX Lion 10.7.3

Apr 8, 2012

I have had Photoshop CS5 installed on my system for over a year, and it worked fine all this time under Snow Leopard. Now that I've upgraded to Lion, Photoshop will not open due to these messages:
 
-Could not open a scratch file because the disk is unavailable.
-Could not initialize Photoshop because the disk is unavailable.
 
The scratch disk in question is an 80gb partition of a 1tb internal hard drive. If I delete the preferences file (by holding down cmd-shift-opt when starting PS) then it starts up just fine. If I go into preferences and reset it to use the scratch disk, then next time I try to reopen the program I get the same 2 error messages and I have to ditch the preferences again.
 
There is nothing wrong with the disks, I verified them. And anyway, I've been using that scratch disk with Photoshop for the last year with no issues. It was only after I switched to Lion that this started happening.I need to be able to take advantage of the performance increase that a scratch disk offers.

Photoshop :: CS6 - Your Request Could Not Be Completed Because Of Disk Error

Jul 30, 2013

photoshop cs6 was working fine a few weeks ago. After not using it for about 2 weeks, I try opening a RAW file and I get this error every time. JPGs open and work fine. I have extensively searched on the internet for solutions and have tried everything such as: disk checking, deframgenting, playing around with photoshop preferences, deleting temp files, resetting preferences, clearing disk space. I have assigned two hard drives for photoshop, one with 16 GB free and the other with 8 GB free.

Photoshop :: Document Damaged By Disk Error

Mar 2, 2009

I'm getting this error when opening two specific PSD files in Photoshop CS3 on Windows XP Pro:

"This document has been damaged by a disk error..."

I've been testing hard drives and memory, as well as looking at other files, and as of now I think it's not a systematic problem; rather, I suspect that these two files were damaged when migrating from my old computer.

I have two questions for anyone out there who has troubleshot this issue before:

1. One of the files has a violent green stripe 50-100 pixels wide in Photoshop, but when opened in Gimp it looks fine except for two individual pixels that are pure green. The other has a blue stripe across it in Photoshop, but looks fine in Gimp. (I am comparing specifically the background, without any layers.) Why would the Photoshop and Gimp views of the same image differ so widely?

2. Does anyone know of a script that can check all files for this error? Sitting there opening all of my thousands of PSDs one at a time seems like a royal pain, and something that could be automated by someone who knows how...

I am on a Dual 2 GHz G5 with 3 gigs of ram OS 10.3.5 There is 40 gigs of open space on the harddrive. Photoshop CS the file is located on the desktop and I am attempting to save it in the same folder.
