If you haven't tried it yet, go to Disc Utility and run a verify and repair permissions on your OS 10.10 volume. That might help mitigate the program error.

Did you try a new Admin user account to rule out permissions related issues?

See the previous posts about issues with MacOS 10.10 and how to narrow down the causes.

This is happening with me too. PS14, on iMac with Yosemite.

After I installed Mac OS Yosemite PS will only open ONE file.
Any subsequent files I attempt to open result in an error message "could not complete your request because of a program error' which then forces me to quit PS as I cannot open any other files.
Am dead in the water - how do I fix this?

Ran PS in safe mode... same issues. I'm noticing a bit of a lag w/the open dialogue window when it works on the 1st attempt.

Generator was not enabled. Also, closed the libraries panel (was open but not visible)...and still same error message after 1st open works.

OK. Few more questions:

1) Is the Libraries panel visible? If you hide/close it and restart PS, does the problem persist?
2) To eliminate other variables, can you try creating a new Admin user account and run in SafeMode to see if the problem persists. (Instructions for both can be found here: http://bit.ly/Troubleshoot_PS)
