AE CS4 Won't open with my Snow Leopard Install

I just finished installing Snow Leopard and a fresh install of my Production Studio CS4, everything works accept for AE. It just bounces on the start bar, then stops. Nothing more. Any Ideas why?

I'm having this same issue: fresh install of CS4 on clean install of Snow Leopard, all apps work except AE.  No preferences to delete - it's a clean install.
Here's what the console says:
09-09-03 7:24:06 PM [0x0-0x25025].com.adobe.AfterEffects[239] /System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Support/LaunchCFMApp[239] Launch failed with error code -2857 (cfragCFragRsrcErr) for application /Applications/Adobe After Effects CS4/Adobe After Effects CS4.app/Contents/MacOS/After Effects

Anyone have any suggestions?

  • My computer won't restart with the snow leopard install

    my computer won't restart with installing snow leopard

    Unclear what your problem's all about. You can't boot the machine with the SL install disc or, after installing SL, the machine won't boot. Provide amplifying info and maybe we can help solve it.

  • Lower DVD drive won't open/close since Snow Leopard upgrade

    Hello,
    I have 2 optical drives in my Mac Pro: 1 Superdrive in the upper slot and 1 DVD-ROM drive in the lower slot (a HITACHI DVD-ROM GD-7000 which came with my old Dual G4 450).
    Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, I can't use the lower drive anymore, it won't open or close (I used the alt-eject keys, nothing happens). The drive also is not listed in the eject-menu in the menue bar, but it appears in system profiler as:
    HITACHI DVD-ROM GD-7000:
    Modell: HITACHI DVD-ROM GD-7000
    Version: 016J
    Seriennummer:
    Absteckbares Laufwerk: Nein
    Protokoll: ATAPI
    Einheiten-Nummer: 1
    Socket-Typ: Intern
    Low-Power-Polling: Nein
    Ausschalten: Nein
    Anybody any ideas what I can do to get that 2nd drive to work again?
    Thanks in advance,
    Peter

    Today I had a little time do do some testing:
    The tip with the SMC RESET button didn't help.
    Zapping the PRAM/NVRAM didn't help either.
    The jumpers were on "cable select" on both drives, I tried to set one as "master" and the other one as "slave". Problem still exists.
    I changed the position of the drives to check if the cable is ok. Still the same.
    I unplugged the other (working) drive and had just the one plugged in. It shows up in system profiler but not in the drives menue nor in the disk utility application.
    I booted from my 10.5 installation DVD and tried the disk utility from there. It's not on the list.
    Any other ideas?

  • Attempting Disk repair with Snow Leopard install DVD. Prompted to restart several times

    Hi,
    I'm trying to do a disk repair with my MBP (2010, OS X snow leopard). I tried  to enter Disk Utility with my Snow Leopard install DVD by pressing down "c" during startup but it gives me a grey screen in several languages prompting me to restart again. Restarted and I get the same screen.  Can anyone help me?

    You are getting a (kernel) panic crash booting from the installer dvd?  Hmmm.  That's doesn't sound good.  Try resetting smc and pram.
    If that doesn't fix it try to boot the Apple Hardware Test and check your machine -- assuming that will boot?
    Also look inside if you get that panic crash and see if there are any diagnostic leds lit.
    If this continues you might try disconnecting all unnecessary peripherals (usb, fw, extra drives).

  • Is it possible to use the snow leopard install disk for bootcamp setup?

    I'm going to be installing a windows 7 partition through bootcamp on my macbook, but I can no longer find the two original install disks that it came with. So my question was whether or not its possible to go through the bootcamp process with the snow leopard install disk?

    Do you mean a "Retail OSX Snow Leopard Install DVD for USD 29" ?
    If so, then yes. use it.
    Sounds to me like the Original Install Discs you refer to are OSX 10.5 Leopard ones, right ?
    These won't work with Windows 7 since Windows 7 requires OSX Snow Leopard DVD at minimum for the Driver Installation and BootCamp Assistant version 3.x as well, which is also only avaiable in OSX Snow Leopard.

  • Recovered CR2 files won't open with CS3

    Hey, I need help with this!
    I worked in a photoshoot with a Canon EOS Rebel XSi and SD memory; then I had troubles trying to download them because the memory wouldn't let me do it, so I used the 'PC Inspector Smart Recovery' and I recovered all my CR2 files indeed. BUT! some of them won't open with Photoshop CS3, most of them do, but there's just some others that won't open and I really need to get this job done
    My camera files always worked perfectly with photoshop CS3, plugins are installed, I really don't know what went wrong.

    I am having a similar problem.  I downloaded CR2 files from my camera to my computer and CS3 Bridge will not recognize the files, allow me to open in Camera Raw or open in CS3 Photoshop.  I also stuck the same memory card in a Lexar mem card reader and attempted to download to my Mac in CS4 Bridge and that version of Photoshop and Bridge won't recognize the files either, however the CR2 files do appear, where I can view the thumbnails, in iPhoto.  All original files are still on the memory cards (4 cards worth of wedding photos!).  I've downloaded Camera Raw updates for both cs3 and cs4 on my windows pc and my mac and still no luck.  I'm at my witts end! Help! 

  • CS4 won't open now

    Can anyone help me understand why PPro CS4 won't open all of a sudden?
    I've tried rebooting, not sure what happened in the last 12 hours.
    I assume i'll have to reinstall the software, but does anyone know why this happens?

    Do you have SoundFlower installed?
    Do you have a lot of VST's installed?
    Those are two things that can affect the launch of a couple of Adobe programs. This ARTICLE (though written for the PC), might offer some things to ponder.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - there are some similar threads, where Mac users have had to do something with their log-in. They did not have to really modify things, IIRC, but just open up the control console for it. Wish I could give you more details, but I'm a PC-guy. There are maybe three threads recently.

  • InDesign files won't open with double click

    InDesign files won't open with double click on my MacPro with Snow Leopard although they do open from external hard drives when I double click.

    Thank you very much,you were correct, it appears the mouse clicks were set too fast. Thank you very much indeed for taking the time to answer my question.

  • Just had Snow Leopard installed.  Iphoto won't open.  I'm supposed to photograph 300 people on Friday.

    I have no idea why Iphoto won't work.  The icon bounces once, and then does nothing although I see the details at the top of the screen.
    I've used it extensively since I had Snow Leopard installed last week.  Did not upgrade to iphoto11 after much negative feedback from my photographer pals.
    I did notice that when I opened a couple of photographs to edit them that once in a while a green or red background appeared, but it was random and only happened on a couple of photos.
    I have tried Shutting Down the computer, force quit iphoto a few times........Nothing.
    I am 3 hours away from an Apple store and have the largest assignment of my year in less than 48 hours.
    Can anyone help me out?  Many thanks.

    Thanks for sharing so much of your life story, though I'm not sure what relevance it has to your issue, which, I believe is that you can't open iPhoto.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
    Regards

  • IDVD won't open with OS 10.5.8 -can't record on to blank DVD discs

    When I attempt to open iDVD application, message says it won't open with this OS. Also when I insert a blank DVD (Verbatim) disc am unable to record a film on to it as I get this message: "The disc can't be burned because the device failed to calibrate the laser power for this level of media." I've seen this message on a previous post on this forum but could not see any solution posted. I have recorded onto DVD discs in the past (different make of disc and before I upgraded to Leopard).
    I can record on to blank CD audio discs without any problem however.

    The first thing to try (IMO important) is not to import directly from your camera. Get a Firewire-connected card reader (USB works also but is slow on Macs) and use the Mac's Finder to copy images from the card to a folder on the Mac hard drive. My description below describes a CF card, but the workflow is the same for an SD card or whatever.
    I feel pretty strongly that camera-to-Aperture handling of original images puts originals at unnecessary risk. I suggest this workflow, first using the Finder (not Aperture) to copy images from CF card to computer hard drive:
    • Remove the CF card from the camera and insert it into a CF card reader. Faster readers and faster cards are preferable, and Firewire is much preferable to USB2.
    • Finder-copy images from CF to a labeled folder on the intended permanent Masters location hard drive.
    • Eject CF.
    • Burn DVD copies of the original images (optional backup step).
    • Eject DVDs (optional backup step).
    • From within Aperture, import images from the hard drive folder into Aperture selecting "Store files in their current location."
    • Review pix for completeness (e.g. a 500-pic shoot has 500 valid images showing).
    • Reformat CF in camera, and archive DVDs of originals off site.
    Note that the "eject" steps above are important in order to avoid mistakenly working on removable media.
    Good luck! The camera-to-Aperture workflow may or may not be the cause of your specific problem this time but in any event card-to-finder long term will provide a more solid workflow.

  • PDF file won't open with double click

    Mac OSX 10.6.8/Acrobat 10.1.3.
    Suddenly pdf files won't open with a double click, I now have to open Acrobat and file>open.
    Also, once they're open, they won't close by clicking the red close dot, I now have to go to file>close.
    Very frustrating!

    Even reinstalling doesn't work with the standard Creative Suite installer. Except for the double-click bug, Acrobat doens't respond to dock-tasks either, like <right-mouse-click> on dock icon and select <quit>.
    In this version of Acrobat, the repair function doen't seem to exist anymore. Sadly....
    So the problem keeps existing, even with the laterst 10.1.4 version.
