Correct answer JJMack

see i've already done that and it keeps happening...what should I do now :/


If this is happening when you start Photoshop. Stop Photoshop. Then use finder and set the mac settings to search for hidden files and find "Actions Palette.psp" rename that file so it still exists and occupies the space allocate to it. Then start Photoshop it should not find the renamed file and create a new default "Actions Palette.psp" file one with only the default action set loaded.  You should not get the message.  Next start loading you action sets one at a time. They should load without any error message.  Once all are loaded close down Photoshop and the restart Photoshop.   You should not get the error message and all your actions should be in the Actions palette.

I am having the problem mentioned but can't figure out how ti fix it.  I need it put to me like I'm a toddler, because when it comes to software/photoshop stuff I practically am.  The command+option+shift thing doesn't work for me.

For those who have experienced this, is there any way to get their previous actions back?

If that is happening when you start Photoshop it may be because one of your user ID Photoshop preferences files is corrupted. Namely "Actions Palette.psp". This file is normally hidden on both the Mac and PC platforms.   For example Windows 7 "C:\Users\Your User ID\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings\Actions Palette.psp". That message may also happen if you try to load and action set where the ActionSetName.atn file is bad.

If it happen when you start Photoshop try resetting your userid Photoshop preferences.

I am having this problem and get this error when photoshop tries to open. I have checked the computer for this C:\Users\Your User ID\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings\Actions Palette.psp as you suggested but this is not on my computer.
I have reinstalled Adobe twice now and it dosn't solve the problem. I can open Illustrator, I can save a PDF. I can't open Photoshop.

I am running win7 and have CS6.

If you do not see that file on your system. You may have one or more of the following problems.

You have not set your system options to let you see hidden and system files so you can see them in File explorer or finder.

Your userID security does not have the permission to write into your Photoshop preferences folder.

The file is most likely on your system but is not being updated.
