Premiere Pro CC asleep? Won't respond to anything when I go back to it.

So, I've been having this issue for a week or two now, and I can't seem to figure out why it is happening. I usually have Premiere Pro CC (most recent version installed running in OSX Yosemite) open in the background of my computer when I'm not editing anything, but when I go back to it after varying periods of time, and try to do anything, nothing happens. I hit the space bar to play, scrub the playhead in the timeline, source, and program windows, double-click to open clips from my bin, switch tools, etc., and nothing happens. The playhead in the windows will move, but no audio or video plays - whatever is in the source and program windows at that time will stay there, like it's frozen. But there is no spinning pinwheel of death/spinning beach ball or anything. If I right-click on the PP icon in the dock, it doesn't say that the program isn't responding. There's no indication that anything is wrong.
Occasionally, Premiere will wake up after a minute (sometimes more, sometimes less) and work fine. Sometimes I have to save the project (by pressing Command-S or by using the File menu) to get it to work, but that doesn't always fix it. I Command-Tab to other programs and then go back to PP - sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't. Closing and opening the program always works, but that's an annoying fix just to get the program to wake up.
Has anyone else had these issues? I can't be the only one.
Computer Specs:
Mac Pro (Mid 2012), running OSX 10.10.1
32 GB memory (4 GB reserved for other applications - 28 for PP, AME, AE, PS)

Premiere Pro 4 File Won't Open

Hi all
I have an adobe premiere pro file that won't open. When I double click on it, the load project bar gets to about four fiths of the way, then it just stops. The last time I saved the file, I saved it to my computer, then I saved it to a portable hard drive to back it up (around four minutes later). Both versions of the file won't open. The previous file will open, but I have done 30 hours more work since then (on the new file). I thought it was enough to be saving every few minutes, saving back ups to a portable hard drive... I also have a raid 1 configuration! I was never expecting this. When I leave the Premiere Pro on the Load Project screen, it stays there for hours.
If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi John
Thanks for getting back to me. I just looked in autosave. The file that won't open was last saved at 11:02pm on the 16th. There was an autosave project at 10.25pm on the 16th, and that wouldn't open either (it crashes at exactly the same place as the other one). However, there was an autosave file at 6:17pm on the 16th that would open. Curious though, it doesn't seem to have a lot of the changes I thought I had made by this time. It seems to be earlier than this (although perhaps my memory isn't serving me correctly). Should there be more autosaves that this? I had the program open pretty much that whole time, and nothing between 6:17 and 10:25.
Anyway, that's a start! Something must have happened between 6.17pm and 10.25pm that'd made the file go kaput. I would love to know what, so I can avoid this happening again. First things first though, it'd be fantastic to get the file that isn't opening working.
Thanks for your swift response too, Jim. I opened PP and tried to open the file from the interface. The load project bar stopped at the same place. I can open other projects fine. As to your last suggestion, I created a new project, and went to File/Import then clicked on the file in question. It started importing, then the progress bar froze at exactly the same place. I'm not sure if I did this correctly. Is there another way to import a PP file into an existing PP?
Thanks again for your time. It's just nice to speak to someone about this because I really freaked out when it happened.

I touch won't respond to anything!! help!!

I recently updated my Itouch with iOS 5.1.1 update. For about an hour after I did this update,my itouch was frozen on a screen with the apple and a loading bar that wasnt moving. Then, my itouch "restarted" by itself and froze on a white screen. I tried restarting it myself, and it restarted, but again froze on the white screen. I have done this at least 12 times. Now it won't respond to anything, even when i hook it up to my computer, the computer is not recognizing the connection. My itouch was working absolutely wonderful before the update, i have not dropped it, or gotten it wet, and it is only a few months old, (January 2012). I haven"t had any issues with it before now. If anyone else has had a similar problem or has any suggestions, i'm willing to try anything. thank you!!

Premiere Pro CC 2014 won't open "because it is not responding".

When trying to open Premiere Pro CC 2014 it won't open and I get the message "You can't open the application "Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014" because it is not responding.
I've done my updates, uninstalled it, reinstalled it. Even did a clean re-install of the Yosemite OS but nothing. It opens up fine on my laptop.

A variety of issues can cause PPRO to crash on launch. Here are some of them:
a problem with the Preferences, or some other pref-related file in the Profile-<USERNAME> bin.
the graphics driver
having an integrated graphics chip as well as a graphics card. Disabling the integrated chip often fixes this.
having Nvidia CUDA drivers installed on a system with an AMD card
third-party plug-ins
a problem with the cache files.
a problem with the project file (if you're loading a project...)
folders that Premiere writes to being set to read-only
the user not having administrator rights
a conflict/incompatibility with some OS setting
a problem on the licensing/authentication side.
The fact that you've done a fresh installation of 10.10 eliminates some of those possibilities.
After a crash on launch, does a dialog box eventually come up prompting you to submit a crash report to either Adobe or Apple? If so, please click "information" or the like to access the crash log and copy/paste the report here.

What to do? Premiere Pro CS5.5 has quit responding and won't play project. Windows no recognize

What to do when CS5.5 Premiere Pro does not respond. Will not play project. Seems to mess up even going to help.

John,
Great links on how to ask for help. Thank you. I recently installed a PNY quadro 2000 video card. Have 24 gigs of ram, Areca Raid Card with Raid 5 with four hard drives in Raid 5, i7 920 cpu not overclocked. Velociraptor C drive. Everything seemed to be working fine until I returned to this video today and was to burn another copy on encore. It did not function right and did not burn. Went to see what was wrong and the whole thing seems to be acting strange. I ran two virus checkers and nothing was reported.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

Premiere Pro CS5.5 Won't Open - Mac

At first I had problems with AE not opening (hanging at "Initializing Media Core") and the dynamic link to some of the composiitons in my PP project, so I called support. I spent an hour and a half with a lady controlling my computer, and my AE problem seemed to disappear. We hung up, and then I opened my PP project again, and the dynamic link 'started' to work, but then PP randomly shut down. And now I have a PP problem...
I tried reopening and it loaded the project, glitched a little bit on the screen, then it said "Sorry a serious error has occured that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project." Now I get it EVERY time I open a project.
So I called support again, and after spending 3 hours with a guy, he told me I had to create a new user account and migrate all of my information there, but he said he could offer me no assistance in this area. I must find out for myself. So I followed the instructions here.
"pick a short user name for your new account. then run the following terminal commands
sudo mkdir /users/newshortname
sudo ditto ~ /users/newshortname
You'll have to enter your admin password (which you won't see) after the first command. that's normal. This will copy your current home directory to /users/newshortname. Then go to system preferences->accounts and create a new account with the short name newshortname. You'll get a popup saying that a home directory by that name already exists and asking if you want to use it. say yes."
As I figured (after waiting a day for all of my files and preferences to transfer to the new account) I had the same problem. I've tried deactivating, re-installing, removing the media core and then putting it back (with the help of Adobe support), and nothing is working. I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8.
Someone, please offer some assistance. I have been out of commision from editing for three days now, and I have a bunch of deadlines coming up.
HELP ME!

Hi Vinay,
1. I am using third party plug ins, and I understand that might be causing an issue, but I've also tried opening a new project with nothing in it at all, and that won't open.
2. Premiere Pro quits after the project loading bar or after I create a new project.
3. I used a lot of files! mov, mts, psd, ai, png, jpeg, and AE compositions through dynamic link.
4. The project has about five sequences. They range from 1 minute to 4 minutes.
Thanks!

Direct link from Premiere Pro to Speedgrade won't open and stops at the post processing bar.

I've just installed the new version of Speedgrade and every time I try to open a direct link from Premiere Pro to Speedgrade, it opens and starts to load, but when the post processing bar appears it stops there and doesn't open, I've gone back to the original versions of both programmes and that same thing happens, HLEP!

Premiere Pro CS4 Setup won't open

Ok, so I searched and couldn't find anyone with a similar problem: I just downloaded the trial version for Premiere Pro CS4 on Adobe website, but the setup file won't open. I'm on Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, more than 10GB of available disk space; meeting all the system requirements. I can open and browse the .DMG, but when I open the Setup, its icon briefly appears on the Dock, then disappears.
Does anyone know what I should to do fix this?? Many thanks in advance!!

I formatted my HDD, did a clean instalation of Snow Leopard, opened the setup... and it worked just fine!!
That is great news, and thanks for reporting.
Now, there have been some stated issues with Encore and Snow Leopard. If you plan on using Encore for authoring, you might want to pop into the Encore forum and look around. Do not recall the issues, or any resolutions, but there were some issues.
Good luck,

Premiere Pro CC 2014 won't play anything.

Today I launched up a brand new install of Premiere Pro CC 2014 (it's a trial) on a brand new iMac (3.5 GHz intel Core i7, 32 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB) and my project that was working fine yesterday on my MacBook Air will not play anything. The footage is all DSLR H.264. My sequences won't play, my clips won't play, my merged clips won't play, my multi cam sequences won't play. You hit play and the play button changes to a stop button, but nothing happens. I tried logging in as root but it won't play there either. All the footage is sitting on an external 4TB Lacie thunderbolt drive.
Any thoughts??

Premiere Pro and Soundbooth won't play video/audio for more than a second.

Ok, so my issue is that Soundbooth won't play audio for more than a second. It plays a quick bit then stops. Premiere Pro also does the same with video, it plays a quick bit then stops. I don't know if it is connected or not but when I try to change the audio output in Soundbooth to System Default I get this error:
I set the permissions to premiere and soundbooth to full but it didn't work. I've tried UnInstalling and ReInstalling but that didn't fix the issues either. All of the other programs seem to work. Any help would be much appreciated!!

Here is the fix.
1. Open Finder and navigate to /YOUR_HD/Library/Preferences
2. Rename or move to the Trash the file: com.apple.audio.AggregateDevices.plist
3. Relaunch The Program

Need to Download Premiere Pro CS3 (CD won't install)

Hi there,
My laptop's HDD recently crashed, and when I went to reinstall the Premiere Pro CS3 cd, I get to the screen where install progess is shown (after I've entered my S/N). The installer seems to hang on 'instaling 3rd party content' and takes FOREVER for the green bar to 'move'. Then, after hours of letting it sit, I get a window that says install has failed... pretty sure that it said 3rd party content DID install, but PP itself and something else did not. I tried twice, with the same result.
The CD is clean, no real scratches... just been sitting in its case for years.
FWIW, I'm running Vista 32bit.
I'm hoping there's some CS3 files still hidden on Adobe.com that I can DL in place of the CD.
Don't really edit from home much anymore. Just need my copy of PP to work so I can recut my resume reel, which is a fairly important task.
Thanks,
Joe

Thanks for that link. Got it downloaded.
It appears that something is wrong with my laptop... because the downloaded file stalls at the same point as the disc. While it still says "Installing Shared components". This is when the green progress bars stop(about 10% of the way) and the HDD activiity light on the laptop stops as well.
Back when I reinstalled windows, I had some issues updating. Once I got to a certain point, one of the updates would render my laptop screen completely blank.... so after reinstalling a few times, I stopped installing updates at a certain point... though I did make it to Service Pack 2.
That's the only reason I can think of, as to why the program won't install. It's really odd.
BTW: I did shut down the antivirus while attemptinng Premiere install.

Premiere Pro CS6 just won't work

What am I supposed to do? It's been months since I've been able to edit because Premiere CS6 won't load any footage. It hangs up for hours simply trying to open project folders to import footage. I've been using Premiere for more than eight years, and I've never had it behave this way...everything was perfectly fine under CS5.5; but, once I upgraded to CS6, the program became useless.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Master Collection suite and Premiere Pro individually more than once and nothing works. Short of taking the software and external hard drive home, I have no other Macs with which to edit.

I will almost guarantee your Premiere broke when you upgraded to Mavericks.
Why did you wait so long before asking?
