While editing some images the family dog jump up and landed on both the keyboard and mouse. Now my Actions dont work correctly. The Actions will work if I use one at a time, but any Action that has more than 1 Action with in it pops up a message-  The object "History state -30" is not currently available. The message will change depending on the Action played, but its always the same basic message- xxxx is not curreently available.

Can you capture screenshot when problem occur? We need Actions panel with problematic step expanded to perhaps understand what is actual problem and why you are seeing error message. If you have recorded additional steps by accident those steps should be at the bottom, that is my guess because to record step in between other steps you must have action expanded and step selected. When you see error message, when action stop playing or before?

Corrupted actions are hard to repair forensically especially when you have no clue what went wrong or where.

If you kept the actions on another computer, copy them into your actions folder replacing what's there now.

Most likely, action recorded a command to return the history state a certain number of steps back. Try to find and remove it yourself, or upload a expanded screenshot of your actions

I wish that would be the case but I imported all the actions from another computer/photoshop and it still does the same thing. I will make a whole new action with 2 or more Actions and it will stop mid strem of running the Action and it will display something is not available. But if just run one action at a time it will work fine no matter what Action I use.

OK. Let's say you have a return operation for a certain number of steps in your actions.

 

How many steps of history are set in your settings? (edit -> preferences -> performance)
