Photoshop's GPU requirements have increased for 22.0. Try the solutions here: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/known-issues.html#ProgramErroropeningfiles 

If your card is not supported you may need to upgrade your graphics card.

Have the same issues after updating to 10.10.1 -I can open a PSD file on first launch..then after that receive the error message "Could not complete your request because of a program error." Removed preferences and same result. First file opens fine.... and thereafter no dice.

Adobe Photoshop CC 2014
Yosemite - 10.10.1

Is Generator enabled?

If you got to Preferences>Plug-ins... and uncheck Enable Generator and restart, does the problem go away?

Hi Jeffrey, As suggested, I updated to 10.10.1 and do not have 'enable generator' checked. I still have the issue both opening and I also noticed 'placing' causes same dialogue box. Thanks.

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)

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.

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?

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

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.

My guess is the application support folder for Adobe is messed up. (I've see OS upgrades or user Migration Assistant mess permissions up like this more often than I'd like to see.)

/Users/jtranber/Library/Application Support/Adobe

You need to use Method two in this document to access hidden user library files in OS X 10.7 or later: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/gl...

What does your dialog look like under Sharing & Permissions?

I dove in late last night - First, I uninstalled Creative Cloud, Photoshop CC 14, Indesign CC and Lightroom 5. After that I reinstalled Yosemite. Then I installed Creative Cloud - followed by PS and Indesign but, since it was late, I spaced out and forgot to install Lightroom 5. Photoshop is working great atm. The problem is solved for me. And altho likely not related, I'm feeling a bit cautious about installing Lightroom - will wait until I need it for my project.

Good call - Yes this is for the damaged use account...but per your second question - the "CoreSync" subfolder had "Custom" set for staff and everyone.
