  • Adobe CC products either closes almost immediately after Startup or closes after giving the message "Could not validate license"

    Okay, so I recently got all the products I wanted from CC via the student subscription. It was a bit of a pain getting everything working, as windows explorer crashed and reopened during installation of CC and during an update. Once I finally got in and got everything installed, I thought I was golden, it was then that I discovered my troubles had only just begun. Whenever I tried to open a program it either closed almost immediately after Startup or closed after giving the message "Could not validate license". Thus far I have not found a solution, as the much touted log out and log in method failed me.
    Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated as I am honestly at a loss on what to do.
    Technical details:
    The programs I tried were After Effects, Audition, Photoshop and Premiere.
    I am using Windows 7.

  • Illustrator dialog boxes dissappear almost immediately after they appear SOLVED

    Illustrator dialog boxes dissappear almost immediately after they appear. Save As, or Open. I am able to double click and open a file, but not via Open dialog.
    If I do open a file, I can not do a "Save As".  The dialog box pops up momentarily, but is gone before I can select a destination or new file name.
    Some programs in creative cloud function okay, Illustrator does not. This is on a Macbook Pro. This worked for a number of months, and recently "broke".
    On my own I:
    1. updated Illustrator
    2. uninstalled Illustrator
    3. reinstalled Illustrator
    At tech supports suggestion I:
    uninstalled.
    removed various config files
    reinstalled
    uninstalled again
    ran adobe cc cleaner
    reinstalled.
    ...some other things I can't recall...
    Still no luck. Created new user.
    SUCCESS.  However, this created a huge headache to move an entire user configuration.
    I had an idea to try 'one more thing'.  I updated OS from 10.9 to 10.9.1.
    SUCCESS. I could now run in the original user.
    FINAL RESOLUTION:  I updated OS from 10.9 to 10.9.1.

    Does anyone know if these dialogs use Java Access Bridge? Because when I alt-tab back to iTunes in its frozen state, its labeled as "Access Bridge status" which might indicate a problem with Java, if it in fact uses Java.
    Again, thanks to anyone who can offer some help.

  • Print job disappears almost immediately

    This behavior started in LR2. Thinking back it may be related to OSX upgrade to Snow Leopard. After I hit print, the print job is sent to the printer and almost immediately “disappears” like nothing was sent. I have also gotten an error message of “/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpll.app/Contents/MacOS/rasterto escpll failed”. This only occurs in Lightroom. My workaround is to take the image into Photoshop and print from there. This happens with both of my Epson printers and also with an HP LaserJet, so I think it is a LR problem and not an Epson problem. All drivers for all printers updated to latest available for Snow Leopard. The behavior continued with LR3. Fixed itself for awhile, then in the middle of printing a series of prints, started again. I cannot print from within LR at all. MacBook Pro 2.16 core 2 duo, OSX 10.6.4, LR3, Photoshop CS3.
    Through google searches I found the “rastertoescpll failed” issues reported after Snow Leopard, but they were related to Epson printers, and not just LR related and fixed with driver updates. This has not worked for me.
    I really like the LR print module and any help would be appreciated.

    I realise this is well after your first message - but I am having the same problem now printing from my Mac OS X (Mountain Lion) through Photoshop to my Epson R1900. The print job appears then quickly disappears... Did you manage to solve this problem? I have uninstalled and reinstalled everything...

  • My imac turns it self back on almost immediately after putting it to sleep.  Why and how do I fix it?

    This is new as of a few days ago.  I can't find anything in preferences to make it better nor did I change any setting.  Not sure what's going on.  The computer seems to be working fine except for that.

    It's not supposed to do that, so there is no setting for it.  Be sure you have shut down (powered off) the Mac and started it back up, if you have not since this problem occurred. 
    If you are manually putting it to sleep, make sure you are not "bumping" the mouse immediately after giving the Sleep command.  Also, does this happen when the Mac goes to sleep due to timed inactivity?
    Resetting the PRAM may help
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
    It may also help to reset "power management," which is called PMU, SMU, SMC, and other things depending on Mac model.  The reset procedure depends on iMac model.  If you can post back with the specific iMac model, I can link to the correct procedure.  This is a list of all iMac models
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/index-imac.html
    A faulty USB device can cause this behavior.  You can try disconnecting all USB devices including hubs, except for standard mouse and keyboard (if used).  See if the problem recurs.

  • Iphoto crashes almost immediately after payment taken for book order

    Hi
    I'm trying to upload my first iphoto book. I make the payment and almost immediately iphoto crashes - it then prompts me to repair which I do and then I try again and the same happens?
    I've tried safe mode as suggested elsewhere to no avail?  Support is now shut is there anything else I can try?
    Thanks
    R

    Boot into Safe Mode,  Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and create a PDF file of the book as described in this Apple Document:  iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture. Proof the book for any errors, typos and others, before starting the ordering process. 
    If the PDF file is OK then order the book while still in Safe Mode.  Keep the PDF file to compare to the printed copy when you receive it.

    If it's crashing in Safe Mode and only worked with much older versions then the issue mayb be related to your IE browser.  The newer versions of Skype rely on elements of IE to function.  I would suggest you perform the following maintenance.

  • After upgrading to Aperture 3.4.1 (and really since 3.4), aperture becomes unresponsive almost immediately after I open it.  It tears through over 1GB of memory within a minute, and I am forced to either force quit or open the terminal and "killall".

    How do I fix this issue?  I haven't been able to use Aperture or load new photos into Aperture for weeks.  Since upgrading to Aperture 3, from Aperture 2; I've noticed that Aperture 3 is a major memory hog.  I had to upgrade my unibody macbook to keep up with Aperture, otherwise my whole system become unresponsive when trying to simply look at my photos.  I have about 15,000 pictures in my library, but the program is designed to organize large libraries.  Why has it been so buggy the past year?  Should I just jump ship and go to Lightroom?
    Thanks

    Matt,
    it is normal, that after a crash a library repair is required. Aperture is a database, and if a crash happens, transactions may not be completed, so the library may be left in an inconsitent state. Usually the built-in repair methods can take care of this. But I assume, you have a backup of your Aperture library. If not, now would be the time to create one, just in case.
    I doubt, Aperture is causing this crashes - it may be a coincidence; kernel panics quite often are due to an overfull hard disk, incompatible frameworks or kernel extensions, or to failing hardware. Run a hardware check, check the available disk space and file system with disk utility, and try to remember, if you installed anything else lately, that might have added incompatible kernel extensions. Turn off any helper apps, start up items.
    Your kernel panic occurs when accessing the graphics card. Sometimes this can be resolved by booting into safe mode, this will disable advanced features and reset the card. Note: Aperture will not run in safe boot mode, see
    Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
    Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode
    Browse MacBook forum and Mt. Lion forum, to see, if anybody else has problems with Mt. Lion and your particular Hardware configuration and card.
    As a last measure reinstall your MacOS. You may also have a look at Thomas' Tech Corner » Understanding upgrade nightmares

  • CS6 crashes almost immediately after startup of a program

    It doesn't matter after I run PS, Illustrator, or Premiere Pro, as soon as I start a CS6 application, it will load for a few seconds only, and then crash out.  I do not get any warning or messages to know what is the reason for this happening.  I have tried reinstalling multiples times already, removing preferences each time, but cannot figure out the reason why the entire CS6 suite has now shut down 5 seconds after the launch of any program.  If anyone has any experience with this, please let me know, thanks.

    Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details like the actual crash info/ logs.

  • Why does iMovie freeze almost immediately after opening the program?

    Hi there!
    iMovie '09 was running fine a few days ago until who knows what happened. Suddenly, each time I open iMovie I immediately cannot open anything when I click on things - ex. Project Library/the scroll icon/etc. The project I'm working on is still in iMovie, and I can see it play in the preview screen on the right hand side. The problem is, I can't see any of the clips I have on the left. They seem to be invisible, but when I pan over the editing area (left hand side) I can see the clips playing in the preview screen. I literally have no idea what happened. I can't edit anything and I can't seem to fix the problem. I can't access anything - can't edit, can't scroll to find the video I want.
    So far I have done these things to try and fix the problem:
    +Deleted the iMovie and iPhoto preference files: Library > Preferences > com.apple.imovie.plist
    +Reboot my computer and reloaded iPhoto and iMovie
    +Gone into Disk Utility and ran the Repair Disk Permissions
    +Done force quit so many times
    +Tried running iMovie without any others apps open
    I'm hoping someone out there has a few tricks up their sleeve to help with this problem. Additionally, I've seemed to have run into the problem of not being able to play any of the cutaways I have in the video except for the FIRST one. When the video plays and pans over the next cutaway, the video freezes until the cutaway ends and proceeds to play the rest of the video.
    So, anyone out there know how to help a gal out??
    Thanks!

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • PPC MacMini shuts down immediately after boot, LED blinks

    A client gave me his PowerPC MacMini which boots up but then shuts down after a few seconds. Unfortunately, there's not enough time to open the system preferences between booting and automatic shutdown.
    I've tried to boot the computer from a system DVD and with "T" pressed for target mode, but it always boots up completely from the internal drive. Booting with "Shift" pressed boots in safe mode, but the machine still shuts down after a few seconds.
    Interestingly, the power LED blinks about once per second. I wasn't able to find anything about this on the Net.

    AndyO wrote:
    If, on the other hand, the mini is starting up, and then failing, and the light isn't so much blinking as pulsing, then the system may be suffering protective shutdown as a result of overheating. That can be tested by seeing whether it runs longer after being left unplugged for several hours, thus being cold, than it does if it's been running (or attempted to be run) for some time, and is thus already warmed. In that event, the mini will need to be disassembled to some extent to try and identify whether the fan is running, the CPU heat-sink is firmly attached and the thermal pad which is squeezed between the underside of the logic board and the base of the system is replaced.
    I have a Mac Mini Intel Core 2 Duo that is suffering almost the same symptoms (shut-down almost immediately after startup); however, it DOES appear to be for a variable length of time based upon how much time I let it sit and 'cool' down; therefore, I believe I'm experiencing an over-heating issue.
    I've installed a matching 1GB pair of RAM about 1.5 months ago and all has been fine until now. The unexpected (which is now expected) shutdown after startup is occurring on both Mac OS X 10.5.2 and Windows Vista (on Boot Camp partition) ... of particular note ... the Windows side shuts down more quickly (likely due to it not having the same system monitoring/energy handling tools that would be available to the Mac OS X side ... so I would suspect it to over-heat sooner on the Windows side).
    Successfully completed Hardware tests (simple & extended) reported memory and other system hardware was fine. 'Check/Verify Disk' on Mac/Windows side reported no issues with either partitions.
    Attempts to reset the PRAM and SMC have not solved the problem.
    There was one instance, after startup, that the fan ran at full speed continuously and noticed that the power light was not on at all ... at the time, I was on the Mac startup disk and it stayed up and running for about 20 minutes or more until I decided to shutdown and test the Windows side. Upon restart, the fan did not run continuously, and the Windows side shut-down shortly after start up.
    Overall, I'm fairly convinced it is an over-heating problem. If anyone has any ideas or reference material to confirm or how-to-do "the CPU heat-sink is firmly attached and the thermal pad which is squeezed between the underside of the logic board and the base of the system is replaced" that would be greatly appreciated.
    I am not ruling out sending the machine into the retailer for servicing/diagnostics; however, if there's a relative quick fix so that I don't have to identify and remove confidential/sensitive info first, that would be preferred.
    Thanks.
