I can't use Generative fill and received notification: generative fill could not be due used to a connection issue. Anyone has problem and how can fix it?

Generative fill does not work

It says that there is a problem with the Internet connection, but there are no such problems. The firewall is disabled, there shouldn't be any problems. Can you tell me how to solve this issue?

[Милана321828983h3h]

the same problem, no one helps me, I have written more than 3 times and never get an answer, how can this be? Adobe, when will you solve this problem?

[kevin stohlmeyer]

@Милана321828983h3h I believe I've asked before without a response - where are you located?

[ianhgsy]

I think it’s a contention issue with the Adobe servers. I’ve had it several times and it’s not my connection or speed - tried it a second later and it’s fine.

Hello! Can someone help me? When using Generative Fill, it will prompt with this: "Couldn't generate your prompt due to connection issues. Please check your internet connection and try again". My connection is connected and has a speed of 275mbps. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it a couple of times now and still the same problem. I've searched a lot of articles and videos regarding this but still it didn't do anything.

do you have a teams or enterprise or education subscription?

[Miguel Angel33161914i77j]

[Jamie-Zoe]

[kglad]

[MUSplix]

And I have the same problem. The extension doesn't work with merged images, smart objects or other images. It's been 2 days! What to do with this problem?

[kglad]

test with av and firewalls disabled.  if that works, permit ps to connect with internet.

I wanna reply to say that disabling the Rule for "Adobe Unlicensed Pop-up" in the Windows Defender Firewall did it for me.

[kiunnal]

I keep Getting the same thing and I had Restarted my computer plus reinstalled photoshop. And I even tried they windows thing to disable it. Thought it would work and it will then the same prompt will come up agin after it let me use it a couple of times. My internet is strong when I check It. I don't know what's going on and if it's not my problem will they send out an update to fix it or is my computer blocking something I don't know. Major help! 

[kevin stohlmeyer]

@kiunnal did you check your Windows Defender firewall settings per the accepted answers above?

[kiunnal]

I believe I did. And it still not working. I even did the refreshed it in the windows defender. Don't see adobe pop up in the windows icon anymore after I refreshed it yesterday too. I don't know what's going to happen today when I use in photoshop. But like I said im still having problems.

holaaaa...tengo desde hace mas de una semana problemas con internet en ese mensaje y el relleno generativo ...tengo firewall desactivado y NO USO WINDOWS SINO MAC .... he revisado internet , cambiado cables ethernet y llamdo a mi compañia ...todo correcto pero sigue saliendo mensaje y no hay manera funcione relleno generativo ... y tambien he reinstalado photoshop ..... no se que mas hacer ...ayuda porfa

[kevin stohlmeyer]

@kiunnal @alejandra30106612zaln this specific message is factual - meaning you either have very poor internet speeds or your firewall on your router @alejandra30106612zaln this includes Macs is blocking Adobe Photoshop. Connect to the router and confirm that this is allowed.

[CoryShubert]

To echo @kevin stohlmeyer when did this issue start, is it new in the last week/s, what else has changed on your machines/internet? We are not seeing a huge uptick in this issue so it is possible it is a machine/router/internet change outside of Ps.

Do you have the same issue with Ps release, or other Adobe apps?

Thanks,

Cory - Photoshop Product Manager

llevo tress dias con mi compañia internet y me aseguran que no hay saltos en el wifi y señal correcta ...he entrado a configuracion router y he desactivado firewall pero sigue el problema ... falla relleno genrativo saliendo mensaje de wifi ... sin embargo si me conecto a traves de 5 G falla menos ... alguna idea  mas para  cambiar configuracion router de manera que se pudiera solucionar ??? 

[kevin stohlmeyer]

@alejandra30106612zaln its pretty telling that it fails less frequently with different WiFi settings. That means its not the Adobe software. I would still check Windows Defender and make sure Adobe Photoshop is listed and allowed. Disabling altogether should have worked as well, but there are various factors when it comes to routers and WiFi - speed, signal strength, consistency in connections, etc.

The generative fill box is greyed out, even with an active selection, but when I try to use Select Subject or any tool that "connects" to Adobe's servers I get the message that due to connection problems, the selection will be made on device.
I haven't changed my operator for my web / TV services, Router is tha same for 3 years now.

When the version of photoshop came out where the image of Iceland with a house was provided for us to test the generative fill everything worked fine. Now I can't use these functions in both versions

[kevin stohlmeyer]

@Nexus 6 check your router settings - they may not have changed but requirements may have. See the answer above and confirm the settings.
