Adobe CC/CS6 - Error 16 and no SLStore or PCD File

Hey all, i was wondering if the Adobe community could help a guy out. My problem is regarding Adobe CC/CS6 on Mac OSX. I have had CS6 for about 2 years and all the apps have worked fine up to now.
Yesterday, 3rd Feb 2015, i tried to open photoshop (and then all the other Adobe Apps i have)  and was greeted by this error message:
Curiously, Lightroom 4 opens, but then asks for a serial number, which i would have provided all those years ago.
After searching the internet for a few hours, i found that this is a common problem and i ended back on this site and a lot of the suggested solutions appeared to be similar, they all mentioned Permissions for the PCD and SLstore folders.
Then arrives my second problem, on the CS Help section, i came across this
Upon following the instructions, i found that i didnt even have the SLstore nor the Adobe PCD Folders. This meant alot of the proposed solutions i found were now no good to me.
What does this mean and what do i do about it? How is this solved? I didnt want to go right ahead and reinstall if another solution could be found.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as these programs are an integral part of my work, so i need them running as soon as possible.

  • Ordering Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended Student and Teacher Edition possible? or offline versions in general?

    Hello all,
    I wanted to buy the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended Student and Teacher Edition which I would be eligible to buy
    but as it seems, the Paypal option in the adobe store  doesn´t seem to work.
    I already contacted the customer service "Kundendienst" but they told me that they don´t offer paypal - odd because as you can see it is on their own site..?
    Since I don´t own a creditcard nor do I ever want one *, I also asked for a secure and good payment method called "Lastschriftverfahren" so I could easily give adobe  money from my bank.
    that option also isn´t available.
    * http://www.golem.de/news/datenhack-adobe-warnt-deutsche-kunden-vor-kreditkartenmissbrauch- 1311-102806.html
    is there a way for a student to order a full offline version of Photoshop?
    I really don´t want to stand in the rain of that cloud.

    like being forced to stay of photoshop just because a hacker again compromised the adobe servers.
    I would be actually glad  to give money to adobe but what would be a possible way now?
    there are alternatives like Photoline, Corel and so on but I would love to try it with Adobe first.

    Amazon oder MediaMarkt oder Gravis oder, oder, oder...

    there is no specific trial for S&T. It's just the normal program. S&T is a licensing/ pricing thing, not some technical difference.

    Hi,
    I have a new laptop and I am trying to download CS3. The site on adobe gives an error message and the one I tried from this forum downloaded CS3 extended, so my serial number does not work. Does anyone have any suggestions. Regards Vicki

    The trial is always extended. The serial number you enter determines whether it runs as standard or extended.
    I'm getting through fine with that link, so it must be a browser issue or some such thing. Try another browser.

  • Can I use InDesign cs6 to open and work with PM6.5 files?

    Can I use InDesign cs6 to open and work with PM6.5 files?

    Lrak wrote: "It sounds like I should to that before endeavoring to transfer the manuscript?" (re-link)
    It should be much easier to re-link in the Pagemaker file, as, with any luck, you can get the filenames from the Graphics Manager.  After conversion to InDesign, any out-of-date linked images get their names converted to something like "image 123.jpg", and are themselves converted to an embedded low res representation of the image.  Even vectored art.  Pretty hard to figure them out, unless you are VERY familiar with the file, which you may be.
    It may be that any cropping gets lost, too?  I do prepress work, we do some set up for our customers, but most comes in pretty much ready to go, so I don't often have to did too deep into fixing such issues. On the other hand, any problem that can happen has probably crossed my desk, or it seems that way some days!

    My daughter just took a photography class at her H.S. and used Photoshop in that class.  How close would anybody guess that Photoshop CS6 Extended Student and Teacher Edition is to what she used.  I don't know the version of what she used.....

    Hi thritchie,
    You can check the version of Photoshop by launching it, and selecting 'About Photoshop' from the 'Help' Menu at the top.

  • Need help on resolving the issue with adobe output server - error MSG256 & MSG 210 not in .ini file

    Hi,
    I am using adobe output designer 5.5 for designing the label template and using the Adobe output server for printing process.
    In the Jfmerge.ini we given the condition "DiscardUnknownFields=Yes" for ignoring the unwanted fields in the .dat file.
    During the process, I faced some issue with the output server in printing the labels.
    When the .dat file is placed in the Data folder of adobe, the label is not getting printed in the printer.
    The file is move to the error folder and an error file is getting generated which contains the error message as given below:
    090826 02:59:02 D:\Program Files\Adobe\Central\Bin\jfmerge: [256]** Message Msg256 not in .ini file **
    090826 02:59:02 D:\Program Files\Adobe\Central\Bin\jfmerge: [210]** Message Msg210 not in .ini file **

    The output server is a new installtion and I verified the Jfmerge.ini file. It contains the message details of Msg256 and Msg210.
    I also verified the license and it is a valid licence.
    Kindly help me out in solving this issue.
    Thanks
    Senthil

    I assume this is too late to help you, but other might need a hint.  I had the same problem, and found some possible causes that I posted on http://codeznips.blogspot.com/2010/02/adobe-output-server-message-msg210-not.html.
    It is quite likely that you are missing some double quotes around the path specifying the ini file (-aii), if its installed under "Program Files".
    Hope this helps anyone....

  • Adobe Premiere CS6 'Create new Trimmed Project' Crash with .MXF files

    Yesterday I started to back up all our students work, and found that the "Create New Trimmed Project" no longer works in CS6 with .MFX files.
    Adobe Premiere CS6.0.3,  crashes when I try to "Create New Trimmed Project" under "Project Manager"
    This only happens when there are .MXF files in the Sequence.
    As we use Panasonic P2 cameras at this university, this is a problem, as this is the format that they shoot in.
    As a test I have made a Project with only one .MXF file placed on the sequence, and it crashes.
    This happens on my Macs and Windows machines with Adobe Premiere CS6 .
    Adobe Premiere CS5.5 works fine, and does not crash.
    Unfortunately I cant save a CS6 project as a CS5.5
    If you don't have any .MXF files to test this,
    You can make your own .MXF files by exporting any video file as "MXF OP1a" or "P2 Movie" Format, (the Preset setting is irrelevant - any preset will cause it)
    P.S.
    Using "Collect files and Copy to new Location" under "Project Manager" works fine, but does not reduce project size as much.

    I also discovered this behavior last summer.  Unfortunately the best (lame) answer I could find was that "Some formats, such as Long GOP based media files, cannot trim media, or add handles."  Source:  http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS1c9bc5c2e465a58a91cf0b1038518aef7-7c72a .html
    That's not very specific, but in my case at least (and it sounds like in your case, too) .MXF may be another file type that cannot be trimmed.  If I remember correctly, the answers I got from others was that they were able to export fine.  My machine (and maybe yours) has an issue that nobody else seems to have encountered.  So none of the prescribed remedies allowed me to move forward in this regard.
    After much searching, asking and several suggestions from various Premiere communities, I gave up and moved on. 
    Use Remove Unused and then Collect Files and Copy to New Location.  At least that can help you if you have a lot of clips.  In my case, it didn't help much, because my very short clips were edited from very long takes, so as Premiere sees it, not much was "unused".
    Be aware that "Project Manager does not copy and collect After Effects compositions that are dynamically linked to an Adobe Premiere Pro project. Project Manager does save the Dynamic Link clip in the trimmed project as an offline clip, however."
    Wish I could offer you more.
