After effects CC won't start in Mavericks 10.9.3

I just reinstalled OS X and updated it. I didn't realize that the 10.9.3 update was out until I found this problem. Anyway after al the OS stuff I installed the CC programs I use but after effects doesn't start. I know that there are compatibility issues between mavericks and after effects so I downloaded the last update from the site (12.2.1). The problem is that it won't install the update either, it says that it's not compatible.. What can I do? I'm stuck with no AE at the moment..
Thanks

The file name of the update I downloaded from adobe.com is "AfterEffects_CC_12_2_1_ftr.dmg", maybe there's a multiple version or some localized version to use since I use italian version of CC. For reference the 12.0.1 update file that I still have it's called "AfterEffectsTrial-12.0.1-mul-AdobeUpdate" (opening that ends with the same result now, with OS X 10.9 was working all right).
Thank you

  • After Effects CS5 Won't Start on Mac OSX 10.6.3

    Production Premium arrived yesterday, and having tried all the software, After Effects is the only one that won't start.
    I'm pretty sure my computer meets the spec needed.
    I have Intel Core 2 Duo processor, at 2.66 GHz, with 4GB of RAM and loads of hard drive space. Premier Pro works fine, it's just After Effects.
    Help!

    I am having similar problems to those described above. I have Master Collection CS5.5 on a Mac running OS 10.6.8. The full suite had been running fine until late October, at which point After Effects stopped loading on launch. Illustrator and Photoshop start and run without problems, but After Effects will/would not launch. It hangs while loading MediaCore. When I launch in safe mode, I get an error with the Verdana font, so I've addressed that problem as suggested above (see my notes below). I successfully launched After Effects one time last week before uninstalling the Master Collection and taking all the steps outlined below, but the software has since refused to launch at all. I have not made any major system changes in the past two months. The most recent change I've made that might be relevant is the installation of FinalCut Pro, but the two packages have coexisted without incident since summer. I regularly use VLC, Quicktime Pro 10 and Quicktime Pro 7, but I have not made any changes to these recently.
    Here are the steps I have taken:
    delete user preferences
    remove VLC and Quicktime
    run software updates on Mac OS; my last update was a Java patch in late October; roughly coincides with when my troubles began. There are no ATI/Radeon patches available for Mac OS 10.6 that I can find, and I believe that the system's "Software Updates" provides such updates
    completely uninstall and reinstall Master Collection and install software updates using "Updates" within Photoshop (have done this sequence three times)
    remove font list ("AdobeFnt11.1.lst" and "AdobeFnt11.lst") in /Library/Applicatio support/Adobe/PDFL/9.0/fonts
    use Appzapper to remove After Effects before reinstalling it
    boot in safe mode and launch either from .app file or from Package Contents/MacOS/ terminal executable
    remove MediaCore components completely by placing them on the desktop
    Please help. I can not afford to lose production time on this machine.

  • Adobe After Effects CC won't launch with Mavericks upgrade

    Since I've upgraded to Mavericks I can't Adobe After Effects CC 12.0 to launch.  I have to use After Effects 6.0.  Has anyone else had this problem?

    Known issue...there is a patch at Adobe.com. The patch will fix the issue

  • Adobe After Effects, Download won't Start

    I go to download the trial for Adobe After Effects, it opens Creative Cloud but does not start the download at all

    Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details. Quite possible your system does not meet the requirements...

  • After Effects CC won't start!

    Installed and uninstalled several times, keep getting the same errors. Mac Pro Running up to date Mountain Lion.
    Any help to solve this would be appreciated.

    I spent two days trying to fix this problem including two very frustrating sessions with Adobe Techs who remotely took over my computer and did the same process described in the bencollier.net link, twice, despite my having informed them that I had already tried it.
    My Verdana was fine all along. But I got the same errors: "After Effects error: CT bad param: TrueType or CFF font expected" I even watched as they activated and deactivated my Arial Rounded with no luck.
    The only solution that the Adobe techs could come up with was to create a new User, log in as that user and launch AE. It works fine then, of course there's no access to anything from my user folder. Adobe's techs concluded that all of our machines have corrupted user files.
    I work in a studio that has 20 Macs. We have 10 licenses for Creative Cloud. On every computer that runs AE CC, the app crashes when AE CC is launched. None of them crash when AE CS6 is launched.
    After talking with some people with tech support at Apple, Extensis, and Gen Arts (all of whom complained about how unstable After Effects is) we opened the Activity Monitor. A process called fontd could be seen running in the background. We Quit Process on it and relaunched After Effects CC. As soon as AE CC launches the process fontd reappears but AE CC runs fine now. No matter how many times we quit and relaunch After Effects CC, it runs fine as long as we don't log out or restart the system. If we do have to log out or restart we just repeat that one step. It's a lot easier than logging in as a different user.

  • After Effects CS4 Won't Start

    Hi,
    I installed AE CS4 together with Master Collection DVD, and tested it then, was OK.
    The version was 9.0.0.346.
    It stops working suddenly, and it seems to be after I've ran Adobe Media Encoder.
    Tried reinstalling AE and also thrashing preferences for AE, and still didn't work.
    Even after the Adobe Updater updates various CS4 including updating to AE 9.0.2.42 (AE CS4), still no luck.
    Wonder what should I do now to get it working?
    Thanks!
    shu

    Hi,
    Mac OS X 10.6.3 Snow Leopard, iMac. Installed with CS4 Master Collection DVDs.
    When i first installed about 2 weeks back, it was working as I checked by starting AE immediately after install, and no problems.
    Now it stopped working after I've used Adobe Media Encoder within Flash. AE just doesn't start. That is before any updates.
    Coincidently when I faced the problem yesterday, the Adobe Updater automatically prompted that new updates are available (it does it by linking to Adobe directly to my Mac), and I just went ahead with the updates hoping it will help. I didn't download the updates myself - it is done automatically by the Adobe updater.
    i.e. with BOTH 9.0.0.346 (original from DVD) and 9.0.2.42 (the updated one updated by Aobe Updater) AE doesn't start.
    thanks,
    shu

  • Bought a Quadro K2000 Video Card, After Effects CC Won't detect it?

    I recently bought a Quadro K2000 for some simple 1080p video editing and rendering. Now there comes the problem, It seems like After Effects is not detecting the card, CUDA is enabled and the card is supported in the list. I have tried many solutions but unfortunately I still have this problem. Also with rendering a video my CPU still takes all the load instead of the GPU, therefore it goes really slow, 5 minute render takes up to 2+ hours. I bought this video card so my render also got quicker but it seems like After Effects just won't use the GPU for rendering. I have Ray tracing 3D rendering on.
    Can someone please explain to me why my Quadro K2000 is not used for rendering the videos but instead it still uses my CPU. I hope the $500 was no waste of money for this card.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sjoerd

    You have given us little information to go by. What exact version of After Effects? What operating system. Show a screenshot of your GPU Information dialog box in After Effects.
    The Quadro K2000 was added to the list of cards tested and supported for use by the ray-traced 3D renderer in this version:

  • Illustrator CC 17.1.0 won't start on Mavericks 10.9.1

    Here is the log I have when I try launching Illustrator.
    Thanks.

    FontExplorer is on the system, but not on the plugins folder.
    I desactivate all fonts to check.
    No other plugins, and nothing in Extension Manager as well…

    Well it's great news that it works in a test user account. Do you use a font manager such as Suitcase or Font Explorer? If so, try turning that off, and see if it works, or at least removing the plugin from the Illustrator plugins. It might be trying to open/activate a font that was added from an external volume. If that's the case, you'll need to identify and remove those items from the library. If you aren't using a font manager, look for some other reason that Illustrator might be trying to open a file from somewhere it can't. Other plugins, or other corrupt preference files.

  • Why After Effects CC won´t let me import an .obj file as AE CS6?

    Why After Effects CC won´t let me import an .obj file as AE CS6? How could I solve this?
    Thanks.

    Hi, it's been a long time. I'm sure it was something silly I was missing.  I'll be thinking about it, as soon as I remember I'll let you know.
    Maybe if you tell me what kind of message is AE giving you or something would help me to remeber.

  • After Effects CC won't update

    Hi,
    After Effects CC won't update on both my computers.
    Every time I try to install the AE CC update, the installer asks me to close AdobeCrashDaemon to continue.
    After quiting AdobeCrashDaemon and checking Activity Monitor to make sure it's not running, the installer keeps asking me to close AdobeCrashDaemon.
    I hope you can help me.
    Thanks,
    Kristiaan

    Hi Jeff,
    I checked the installation log file and found the error notice:
    ERROR: DS015: Unable to read symlink target of source file "/Applications/Adobe After Effects CC/Adobe After Effects CC.app/Contents/Frameworks/mc_dec_amr.framework/mc_dec_amr"(Seq 4)
    I opened the folder Applications/Adobe After Effects CC, and can't find the rest of the /After Effects CC.app/ etc. path inside it.
    What would be the next step to solve this?
    Thanks,

  • AFTER EFFECTS CC WON'T UPDATE - Error U44M1P28

    After Effects CC won't update, I have tried everything... Need this fixed ASAP, fed up!

  • After Effects and Premiere dont start on a new Mac.

    Heyho community,
    one thing up front... my english is not the best, so please be patient if i dont understand everything straightaway.
    my macbook is just a few weeks old, means i am a noob to mac osx.
    i recently installed the adobe creative suite and photoshop, illustator  and flash are working fine. but after effects and premiere wont start. i  sse the starting window and then it breaks.
    i guess that it has somwthing to do with admin rights, something like that i have read in some other forums.
    my main account is admin and maybe i have to start the programs with root rights, but i dont have any idea how to do this.
    anyway... if i am completly wrong with that admin-guess, tell me.
    Another Thing that may help you finding some ideas for solving the problem.
    if i directly start after effects in terminal, it shows inside terminal this error message:
    error for object 0x122a2c1b0: pointer being freed was not allocated
    And another thing... if i start the mac in save mode i can run both  programs, but if i try it in normal mode againt they dont work.
    Any  suggestions?
    Regards from germany

    I have reinstalled everything now, then running the cleanscript and repairung rights with the intsall dvd. now it still wont work. maybe this changelog out of the terminal will help you:
