    Well, when I start working (should I say try to work with FCPX, activity monitor in the %processor column for FCPX jumps rapidly over 100% and reaches more than 200% ??? What the **** is that ?
    200% or more is not strange. Remember that your mac has 4 cores (you say it's 3 months old, so I assume it is a new model), so 200% amounts to using 2 of these 4 cores to the max.
    Regarding the question of creating a new admin user: while it sits in the same system, it may help if the problem is caused by some user-specific preferences or settings. Not likely in your case, since you seem to have reinstalled from scratch, but still it is worth a try. It takes 5 minutes and may help pinpoint the problem.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 (mac) will not completely launch.

    After a few weeks idol my Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 (mac) will not completely launch. It tells me a serious error has occurred, it shuts down and the circle continues. I've even reloaded  the app and it happens again. I did upgraded to Yosemite but I can't find anyone else having probs with Yosemite. Any ideas. No luck on the adobe site.

    >did upgraded to Yosemite
    CS6 is about 3 years old... even the latest Cloud versions had to have updates to be compatible... since you have "reloaded" (was that a full uninstall and reinstall?) I have no other suggestions

  • Functionality of Adobe Acrobat Pro for Mac questions?

    Greetings! After 35 years in the Windows environment, I became the proud owner of a MacBook air last night, and I want to install Adobe Acrobat Pro for Mac on it. I would like to know if the features and functionality of the Mac version are the same as those on the Adobe Acrobat Standard that I have been using in my Windows environment for so many years.
    The Windows version gives me everything I need, most importantly the ability to add text as annotations into documents that have been scanned and sent to me as PDFs, fill in forms, create forms, etc.
    Additionally, can someone help me with the differences between the subscription version and the full purchase version? Does the subscription version have any problems, is it just as functional as the full purchase version?
    Thank you so much all!

    If you don't have a physical printer hooked up to your Mac you can still do the Save As Adobe PDF with a "faux" printer setup.  Here are the steps to set that up:
    1.  Go to Apple menu>System Preference>Printers and Scanners
    2.  Press the plus symbol button "+"
    3.  In the Add dialog select IP at the top
    4.  in the Address field put the numbers 127.0.0.1
    5.  In the Protocol pop-up menu make sure that Line Printer Daemon - LPD is selected
    6.  Leave the Queue field bland for the default printer
    7.  In the Name field it will say "127.0.0.1" and you can leave it to that or change it to anything you want.
    8.  Leave the Location field blank
    9.  Leave the Use field pop-up menu field at the default which is Generic PostScript Printer.
    10.  Click the Add button
    11.  You will get the message:
    "Unable to verify the printer on your network.
    Unable to connect to '127.0.0.1' due to an error.
    Would you still like to create the printer?"
    12.  Click the Continue button.
    13.  In the Setting up '127.0.0.1...' dialog click the OK button
    14.  Open up TextEdit
    15.  Type some test text (e.g.  Test Text)
    16. In TextEdit Go to File>Print
    17. In the Print dialog, press on the PDF button on the lower Left side of the window.
    18.  Select Save As Adobe PDF.
    19.  In the Save As Adobe PDF dialog, select your Adobe PDF Settings and whether or not you want the resulting PDF to open in Adobe Acrobat Pro and then click the Continue button.
    20. In the Save window, title your PDF in the Save As: field, navigate to the location you want to save the PDF and then click the Save button.
    21. Done.

    I have not read all you wrote, so I may have missed some points. As I understand it, you installed FP 10 on IE7, but it won't play any Flash content?
    Try this
    download the FP uninstaller from http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
    close all browser windows, then run the uninstaller
    download the offline ActivX installer for Internet Explorer from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
    close all browser windows, then run the installer

  • I bought Adobe premiere 13 for mac and it says blank disc when I try to upload it. Why? and How do I fix this?

    The premiere  elements 13 and Photoshop elements 13 for Mac disc reads as blank when inserted for upload. I bought it at Staples. Now it won't upload.
    Is there a reason for this? Is it a faulty disc or does it need to be activated somehow?

    tarah
    Some places sell the product with a redemption code and not the serial number. Then the user has to go through the procedure of getting the serial number from the
    redemption code. Another factor is whether or not you purchased a Student Teacher version that may have come with a Product Code.

    Serial number, Redemption, and Product codes | Student & Teacher Editions
    Are you saying that you insert a disc marked specifically for Premiere Elements 13 Mac installation, and it opens to give you a blank disc?
    When you write "for upload", do you mean insert disc for installation?
    You can obtain tryout installation files from the following web site and insert your purchased serial number (if that is what you have) into them during installation.

    Just make sure that you carry out the web page's "Note: Very Important Instructions" so that you do not get an Access Denied message.

  • Adobe Premiere CS6 for Mac, doesnt display the "subtitle/closed captions" option.

    Hey there,
    im trying to add subtitles to my Project as it is being described in this Video: http://tv.adobe.com/de/watch/training-f%C3%BCr-videographen/untertitel-mit-premiere-pro-cc -erstellen/ 
    The option im looking for is  "Untertiel" (german for Subtitle) as seen in this screenshot I made of the Tutorial Video
    No if I try to do the same thing i get this:
    The option "Untertitel" is simply not there!?!?! Why?
    How can I get it?
    As is said I use Adobe Premiere CS6 6.0.5 on my Mac
    I would be sooo grateful for any help.
    Best regards
    Michael

    Hi Michael,
    The tutorial you are using as a reference point is for premiere pro CC.
    However you are using CS 6 Premiere pro.
    Closed captioning feature was introduced in Premiere pro CC.
    I am afraid this feature is not present in CS 6 Premiere pro.
    Thanks

  • Does Adobe Premiere CS5 for Mac support .m2ts (AVCHD) video?

    I am trying to import video files encoded into the .m2ts (AVCHD) format into Adobe Premiere CS5 on my Mac.  Does the Mac version of Premiere CS5 support .m2ts (AVCHD) video formats?  I am currently testing this with the trial before I get this new version for the Mac.  Could using trial be the problem that even CS5 Premiere doesn't open it on my Mac?  Do I need the full version?  Thanks.

    The trial does not support AVCHD for either platform.
    Now, the full-paid version has no limitation, AND Adobe offers a 30-day, money-back guarantee, so if you do not like it, you can return it for a full refund, within 30 days.
    Good luck,

  • Why Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 (Mac) fail to import .wma file?

    it's work on window PC, but when i switch to Mac it's not support the WMA file.

    WMA and WMV are not natively supported on Mac. You could try converting the WMA file to another format that is support on Mac (e.g.: AIFF) or look into 3rd party plug-ins for WMA support.
