AE program not running but service in task manager visible
So, as title suggests, I dont' have my AE CS3 opened, but I can see it running in task manager. So when I want to run update it won't let me, because the service is running.
Oh, if 'end process' would help, I wouldn't be posting this topic. Is there any other way to kill this process? And why is it running?
I have Production Suite CS3 installed, any other versions are not installed.
Thank you for help.
What do you mean by "service"? If you are referring to the Adobe Update Manager (AUM), then yes, indeed, these are severe bugs. Nobody seems to have an idea about them. I'm affected by them myself. I simply recommend deleting the updater.exe so it doesn't start automatically and instead downloading all updates manually from the Adobe site.

Got a new iMac 27" for Christmas (well a little after) and tried using Migration Assistant to transfer some files. I can't get past a window on the PC that pops up indicating Quit Other Programs Before you can transfer your information, the following programs must be shutdown: Windows Mail Close these programs and run Migration Assistant again. If these programs do not appear to be running, restart your computer and try again.
I've rebooted. I've searched Task Manager - Applications, Processes and Services and there are no references to WMail. I don't or haven't knowingly used Windows Mail and Outlook isn't even installed on my PC. Does anybody know how to get around this without using external drives, USB flashdrives, etc.Lots of fun.... The superdrive in my Macbook seems to have gone off kilter since my install. Now the CD-R won't work regardless of which operating system I use. Normal CD's and DVD's are fine, but any CD-R is taken as a blank disk.
Using an external CD drive solved this problem. -
I-tunes 10.2 will not Launch, but appears in Task Manager Processes
Hi all,
apologies for the repost here, but i have yet to find a solution and im new to the boards (i hope im not breaking etiquette!)
My problem is with Itunes not launching in windows 7 64 bit.
* I have uninstalled/reinstalled all itunes/quicktime components - no luck
* I have tried disableing the bonjour service - no luck
* When i try to launch the application it shows in task manager as a running 32bit process, but there is no GUI.
* I have tried a new user account, no luck
* I have gone through the apple support suggestions around launch issues
* I have run msconfig and closed off all processes bar itunes, still no luck.
* I have deleted the itunes config files.
* I have tried loading with another library.
* I have updated windows with all updates and SP1.
* i have tried to download an old version of itunes and install it, and even now it wont work!
At this stage i have tried every suggestion on every forum i can find, barring two that i found this morning which i will try in an hour or twos time (im in work haha), 1 - to simply repair the installations of itunes/Qt/Bonjour, i think thats a longshot, and 2 - to delete replace the icuuc40.dll file with a version from an older release of ITunes.
im beginning to think that i-tunes 10.2 just doesnt work on the windows 64bit OS! At this stage im thinking ill have to use songbird or winamp to transfer files to my apple devices, what a shocker.
I would greatly greatly appreciate any help or advice anyone can offer as im pretty stressed about it now!
Many thanks,
Dave
p.s. as ive ran a clean boot is it fair to say that its not a conflict issue?Wow, Amzingly guys i think ive stumbled upon a solution. i used system config (msconfig) to reboot stooping all startups and all service (hiding microsoft serviced before disabling all)
upon reboot i ran itunes... nothing happened and i went into control panel, thinking id uninstall some bits n pieces... 5 minutes later i was prompted from itunes telling me that bonjour was inactive and asking if i wanted itunes to attempt a repair, i said yes. Sure enough a couple of minutes later itunes was up and running.. i had hope.
I used MSconfig to reinstate a normal startup.
And sure enough itunes seems to be working fine now.
This was an UBER frustrating time. I hope my post might help SOMEbody out there!

Firefox will not launch, but shows in task manager, after updating graphics drivers to AMD's 13.1.
Hi,
After updating to the AMD 13.1 drivers, on my 5770, Firefox will not launch; it does, however, show in the task manager. I should note that it will start in Windows safe mode; when I had it open in safe mode, I used that time to disable all plugins, add-ons, extensions, and created a new profile. This did not help. I also tried launching Firefox in to its safe mode, and had no luck with this either.
I experienced this problem once before, when trying to update to a previous version. I believe I was moving from 12.1 to 12.4, but I'm not 100% sure of that. Ultimately, my solution then was to retrograde back to my previous driver. The steps mentioned in the previous paragraph did not help at that time, not did a complete reinstall.
15 years of computer repair experience, and this has me baffled.
Thank you to anyone who might be able to help.
Possibly relevant specs.
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
AMD Phenom II x4
6BG Ram
AMD 5770 graphics, running Catalyst 13.1By any chance, did you disable Firefox's use of hardware graphics acceleration? To avoid a round-trip through Windows Safe Mode, you could try adding these to your prefs.js file while Firefox is closed.
To quickly open the folder with the correct prefs.js file, you can use
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Because Firefox may overwrite change to this file at shutdown, you should edit it after closing Firefox and allowing a few moments for Firefox to finish updates to the files.
These are the preferences I think are most relevant:
user_pref("gfx.content.azure.enabled", false);
user_pref("gfx.direct2d.disabled", true);
Does that make any difference? -
Firefox will not load, but shows in task manager
Sometimes when I try to open firefox the program will not open, but it appears in task manager.
I can end process, sometimes I can open then and other times it will not open.
Then I have to reboot for it to open. I was using ver 36.0.0.4 then upgraded to 37 with no change.
I went back to ver 28 and tried it and it worked, but I did not try that many times.
It will work for 4 or 5 times then stop working and I have to reboot.
I am using windows 7 32 bit.Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems. See "Creating a profile":

Can't get Firefox started. Instead advice given that it's already running and to close it down. BUT, Windows 7 Task manager advises that neither Firefox nor anything else is running. The only way I can remedy the problem is to restart computer, and I am getting a bit weary of this. I've had this problem before I recently updated Firefox.. I never have this problem with Explorer or AOL, both of which are and always concurrently running just fine.

This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up. -
Please help. My ipod classic could not be recognised by itunes when I connect my ipod to PC. Previously it has been recognised before I updated. This was a while ago now and so I removed all apple files and re installed the latest itunes but am having the same problem.
When I download itunes, it says that Ipod Service failed to start. I checked the services under task manager and when I try to start it, it says access denied. How to I get access and for the ipod service to start and run?Some anti-virus programs (e.g., McAfee) have this rule that can be invoked under the "maximum protection" settings: PREVENT PROGRAMS REGISTERING AS A SERVICE. If that rule is set to BLOCK, then any attempt to install or upgrade iTunes will fail with an "iPod service failed to start" message.
If you are getting this problem with iTunes, check to see if your anti-virus has this setting and unset it, at least for as long as the iTunes install requires. Exactly how to find the rule and turn it on and off will vary, depending upon your anti-malware software. However, if your anti-virus or anti-malware software produces a log of its activities, examining the log may help you find the problem.
For example, here's the log entry for McAfee:
9/23/2009 3:18:45 PM Blocked by Access Protection rule NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe \REGISTRY\MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\iPod Service Common Maximum Protection:Prevent programs registering as a service Action blocked : Create
Note that the log says "Common Maximum Protection: Prevent programs registering as a service". The "Common Maximum Protection" is the location of the rule, "Prevent programs registering as a service" is the rule. I used that information to track down the location in the McAfee VirusScan Console where I could turn the rule off.
After I made the change, iTunes installed without complaint. -
The Flash Player is not running but it is there and it is enabled and Active X is not checked. The Player version is 16.0.0.305. I have the latest ie11 and the latest W8.1. I have used the Adobe tool to delete the Flash and subsequently I have updated or reloaded Flash using your updater. I have gone into IE options and insured that the settings are supportive of Flash. The Adobe mini Flash test program on your site says it not enabled or Active X is enabled - not true - all is set as it should be. I have gone through your forums but to no avail. I've looked in MS forums but nothing that made any difference. What's going on and what can I do about it?
Try using Firefox. Flash usually works on Firefox when it won't on Safari. I noticed that the Safari does not show the same version as Firefox does. Iwonder if that could be the problem. Safari on the left shows 10.1, Firefox show 10.3

GSS snmp is not running but should be
Hi all,
I was trying to turn on the SNMP service on GSS appliance. I believe there are not so many CLIs I can use to turn it on. But the SNMP service on the device doesn't look like working for me.
Can anyone help me out of this? I am about to open a SR in TAC.
Thanks,

Just installed Firefox 3.6. Firefox will not start and Firefox safemode does not start either. Using Task manager I do not see if started either. If I create a new profile and start from that window, Firefox starts up. I see no error windows/messages. I do have it listed in my Firewall as an exception program with Permit All. What is happening?

When I close Firefox, then later want to start up again, I get I message that Firefox is still running. With "START TASK MANAGER", I need to close Firefox in order to start again.
I have the same problem. Firefox won't unload regardless of how long I wait. Literally hours ... I must go in and 'end the process'. This has been a real hassle for a while now. Even considered giving up on firefox. Please look into this! An additional problem; I have to run firefox to get the updates, but I can't get the updates to take because I can't get firefox to unload so I can restart it.

So one day when I opened my mozilla firefox Ive got the "Firefox is already running but not responding.To open a new window,you must first close the existing firefox process,or restart your system."
So I checked my task manager but there is no process,I then checked hours in the internet to find a solution.Yes,I also checked for solutions in this site.Then,I try uninstalling and restarting,it also didn't work,Next I also tried downloading profilemanager and tried to run it but as unlucky as I can be,it also didn't work. Please help :(The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

AppLocker service issue: AppIDSvc not running, but enforcement working.
I have a strange problem with AppLocker. I configured the service (AppIDSvc) and some policies using group policy and deployed it to some computers in my domain. I logged onto one of the systems and verified that AppIDSvc was running, and that
enforcement and logging were working correctly.
Later, I decided to expand that policy to more computers. I reorganized the policies somewhat, but the RSOP is the same. I logged onto one of the new machines that I applied the policy to, and noticed that the service was not running and nothing
audited in the AppLocker logs. When I try to start the service, I get "System error 31 has occurred. A device attached to the system is not functioning."
This is strange, but what is more strange is that on the first set of systems I deployed AppLocker to, I am seeing the same behavior from the service: not starting, and attempts to start result in the same error. However, AppLocker is still working!
It is still enforcing the original policies I created, and is still logging events.
I did a little more investigation, and I see that the AppID service (which AppIDSvc depends on) is running, and must be the service doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes. When I prevent the AppID service from starting (by removing it from [HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services]),
and restart the system; the enforcement/logging stops. When I put it back, it restarts. But, I cannot get it to start on systems other than the original test group, and obviously something is wrong that the AppIDSvc won't start.
It's as if the enforcement mechanism (provided by AppId.sys?) cannot be called by the AppIDSvc, or AppIDSvc cannot access the resources in use by AppID; or something to that effect. I have tried auditing the behavior of the system using procmon, but
haven't made much headway yet.
Any insight into this issue, or how to better troubleshoot it would be greatly appreciated.Despite hours of troubleshooting, just minutes after resorting to posting about this problem I solved it!
The issue ended up being that when I updated my group policy to ensure that the AppIDSvc was enabled, in my due diligence to ensure that everything was set correctly, I selected the radio button for "Log on as: Local System account." In fact, this
service must run under the "NT Authority\Local Service" account, not the Local System account. Once the account settings were corrected, the service started no problem.
I have updated my group policy to fix the issue and all seems to be well. -
But when I try to open Firefox again, I get this error message: Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system. But I can't find any way to close Firefox. Twice, I've tried removing and reloading Firefox, but it's still happening. Any ideas how to deal with this?
Open the Windows Task Manager > '''Processes''' tab and look for '''firefox.exe'''.
