After Effects CS6 Won't Launch After Mavericks Upgrade.

Hi All,
I have seen a few posts regarding this and have scoured the web for few hours looking for answers. So far all I have found are patches from Adobe and their asking that we uninstall and reinstall the app.
None of this has worked so far.
In fact I've gone from an error of "Can't use this version" to adding the patches to now getting "After Effects Cannot Be Opened Because Of A Problem". It goes on to add this...
Check with the developer to make sure Adobe After Effects CS6 works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X.
Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple.
Two questions:
1. Is there a fix for this?
2. If not, how can I revert back to 10.8 without losing everything.

Ok, I found one more article talking about upgrading to 11.3 upgrade instead of 11.4(latest). Finaly worked. Hope this helps someone else, this was painful.

  • After Effects CS6 won't open: "After Effects warning: An unknown Adobe Player Engine error has occurred. Scripting will be disabled."

    I cleared my computer but I managed to get After Effects CS6 back by looking in Windows old on my hard drive, every time I try and open AAE I get this error message "After Effects warning: An unknown Adobe Player Engine error has occurred. Scripting will be disabled."
    What should I do?
    Thanks.

    Does it launch after that error message?
    What version of CS6 is it? 11.0.4? If not, try updating to it.
    Why not simply reinstall from your original disk or download?

  • Newly installed After Effects CS6 won't launch.

    Error: "You can't use this version of After Effects with the current version of OS.  Using Mac OS 10.9.4  Adobe system requirements as follows:
    Mac OS X v10.6.8, v10.7, or v10.8**  All other applications in Production Premium launch and function as normal.

    Updated AE CS6 to version 11.0.4.  Did the trick! (Of course, I had to defeat the AdobeCrashDaemon using the Mac Activity utility before the update would install).

  • Dreamweaver CS6 won't launch on Mavericks

    Hello,
    Dreamweaver CS6 won't launch on Mavericks.
    I've tried reinstalling Dreamweaver. I've tried removing Java. I've read the online suggestions.

  • After Effects Cs6 Won't Open. Error Code: 16

    I use After Effects Cs6 on a daily basis but now when i try opening the program, an error window pops up saying that i need to uninstall and reinstall the program but i don't want to lose all my plugins for the program. What do i do?

    ...i don't want to lose all my plugins for the program. What do i do?
    First thing, make certain you actually have to reinstall.  For example, what happens if you just turn off the computer, go have a cup of coffee, then turn it back on, launch AE and open a project file?  Or if you mess with your multiprocessing settings, and double-check the drivers for your third-party card?
    No Joy?
    Write down all the pulgins you installed.  Gather all the applicable installers.  Follow Mylenium's advice on the Cleaner Tool when uninstalling, then bite the bullet and reinstall the plugins.  It's a Right Royal Pain, but you'll have to do it.  Sorry, no shortcuts here.

  • 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

  • Premiere (and After Effects) CS6 won't open anymore!

         Hi everyone,
    Recently, I've been working on a project which required a dynamic link between After Effects and Premiere CS6 on my MacBook Pro, which runs OSX Mountain Lion. Everything worked great until yesterday, when I got an error message that said something along the lines of "Adobe Premiere has encountered an error. We will try to save your project and restart Premiere again".
         I re-opened Premiere, and although the same thing happened again a few times, I was finally able to get back to my project. Today, however, the same message appeared when I opened it again. I went through the same routine again, opening it and then exiting out, but this time, it didn't work.
         Not only is Premiere not opening, it is no longer even showing the error message. It simply goes to the loading screen and the the infamous "Spinning Beach Ball of Death" appears. I've force quit multiple times and re-started my computer with every application closed. I've also relaunched Finder (I honestly don't think that would help, but I tried anyways) - still, the loading sign freezes and the SBBOD appears again.
         Instead of sitting there trying to fix it and wasting my time, I tried opening After Effects to at least work on the linked compositions that were in my Premiere project. I then get this message before After Effects force quits automatically:
    "Last log message was: <140735255806336> <GPUManager> <2> Sniffer Result Code: 3
    Generating crash log, which may take a few minutes."
    So, apparently this has something to do with my GPU or CPU? I'm not really that educated when it comes to GPUs, so I'm not sure what to do now. I have a CUDA Driver Version 5.5.47 on my computer (I'm not entirely sure how it got there in the first place...), and System Preferences has been notifying me that it needs to be updated. I heard somewhere, on a different forum, that this may have something to do with it, so I downloaded what I thought was a newer version of the driver, although this just turned out to be the same version (5.5.47) that I already have (which seems to be the newest one).
    So, what do you think I should do? Is there something very specific that should be done? Does it have something to do with this CUDA thing? Is the best option to just uninstall and then reinstall?
    If you have any ideas, let me know!
    Thank you!

    Thank you so much, Mr. Curtis! I'm not sure exactly how that worked, but it allowed me to get back on both AE and Premiere Pro. 10 points to you!
    Also, for the  other people that may have similar problems and are viewing this forum, definitely try this out. Listen to Jim's advice, don't use the most recent version (which is currectly 5.5.47) - instead try a slightly older one. The one I had installed was version 5.5.24.
    Once again, thank you! You saved my project!
