Doubt performing an action

Hi friends,
What should I do when I get the message (The command "select" is not currently available) when I'm executing an action? Or (The command set)?
Thank you very much!

This is usually an issue with an action trying to make a selection or layer or something else that the current file state isn't permitting. You need to look at the very first error message and then look at the action step that is erroring, and ensure that the file state matches the action step. You may need to look a few steps backwards to see what is going on.

 

Look at the action step when the error is displayed:

 

Select layer "-Sky Color-" 

 

However, your image only has a flattened Background layer!

 

Same for the second screenshot, you need to ensure that the file state matches the action step.

Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Actions with the fully expanded Action, Options Bar, …) visible?
