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 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?

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!

Adobe After Effects CS6 11.0.2 Error Code: U44M1P7

Hello all,
after trying to install the standalone updates failed, also rendering photoshop and illustrator unusable, I've managed to solve the problem with this procedure (I'm on os x):
- run the cleaner tool
- remove ALL apps, all versions
- checked my applications folder for 'adobe' applications folders that might be left and deleted them
- manually deleted all adobe utilities in the utility folder
- manually deleted all the adobe folders under application support (both in the system and user libraries)
- downloaded the latest adobe application manager
- redownloaded + installed necessary apps
- ran updater
everything went well. A funny thing was that after After Effects was installed, while everything else was being downloaded, I've ran the standalone 11.0.2 updater and it worked fine. After the installation of the rest finished, I tried the standalone updaters for Illustrator and Photoshop I had downloaded yesterday, and both of them failed to install.
So I ran the updater and it managed to update all apps automatically.

I just updated to OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.3 because After Effects CS6 would't open anymore. But it still does't work. Does anyone know what to do. Please in simple English, because I'm from Germany.

After Effects CS6 Crashes Upon Opening

Here is the problem:
I have After Effects CS6, and it and other creative suite programs have been working just fine, until recently. This just started a few days ago after every time I open After Effects to start a project it immediately closes and I receive this screen. I don't even make it to a project panel.

I have tried to "check online for a solution and close the program" but not results come of it.
Potential source of problem : I was uploading a Camera Raw sequence into AE when it decided to stop responding. Upon trying everything to revive the program I had to force quit. Since then the program has been acting funky on me.I was able to open AE successfully twice by right clicking the AE icon in my bar then selecting a specific project from the pop up menu.
But since then, this quick fix no longer works I have uninstalled the program once, then re-installed the program, upon which it worked for 2 days, then stopped working and here I am. My exact steps when trying to open the program are 1. turn the computer on 2. click on the AE icon in my taskbar 3.Error screen
Here are my system specs:
I have done all of the recent updates available
If there is anymore information I need to provide please let me know. There is no other third-party hardware or related items on this computer.
thanks in advance

So I updated After Effects, It all seemed to be working just fine. And then a day ago it started doing the same thing. I have updated everything for the computer and on AE. Any idea how to fix it? If it is the caches, trash, etc.. how do I deal with this problem?

Adobe After Effects CS6 cannot be opened because of a problem

Hi,
Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place - I can't find sections navigation on these forums.
Running Mac OSX 10.8.5
I tried uninstalling AE CS6 and then reinstalling AE CS6 - same issue happened.
AE was working fine until I tried to open it today. It's probably been a couple weeks since I last used it.
I don't know if I'm able to get any help here. It' just an issue I don't know how to troubleshoot.

Todd,
Thank you so much for your help!
I am trying to follow your advice and install AE CS6 through the Creative Cloud application, but it seems that I can only install AE CC through the Creative Cloud application.
The text on this page ( http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-cc-and-cs6-apps.html ) seems to indicate that I can choose a version to download, but when I navigate to the linked download page ( https://creative.adobe.com/products/aftereffects ), I am not given the option to choose which version to download. I can only download AE CC through Creative Cloud.
Below is a screencap of what I see when I am on the download page - this differs from the screencap shown as an example on the page instructing me to go there.

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 Will not open // Does not work with MAC OS X

I recently installed and reinstalled CS6 Production Premium, numerous times. All of the programs work except for After Effects. I get a message saying that I cannot this version of Adobe After Effects CS6 with this version of OS X. You have Adobe After Effects CS6 11.0
I have OS X 11. Am I missing something obvious here?

So I have tried to update, and after looking up the error code on the log I still cant figure it out. Through Adobe App Manager I have updates it looks like for all programs in CS. I have tried a few times to update these programs to a U43M1D204 error. Is this a bandwidth issue? I have tried troubleshooting through the FAQ and still cannot figure it out.

AFTER EFFECTS CC WON'T UPDATE - Error U44M1P28

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

if that's an 'update not applicable error', you should probably uninstall, clean and reinstall per http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

After Effects CS6 Update fails with the code (U43M1D204)

I was just downloading and installing the latest updates on both my windows workstation and my Apple MBP. Everything went fine on the windows machine but I keep getting the following error when my MBP attempts to update After Effects CS6:
Update Failed
The download appears corrupted. Please try again after a few minutes.
(U43M1D204)
I am running the latest version of Yosemite (10.10.2). Is there some half downloaded file I can delete to make this work? I've waited. I've rebooted. I'm VERY reluctant to delete my current installation of CS6 if this is what is required. I'm an instructor at a local community college. The college currently only runs CS6. I teach an animation class that uses After Effects and as such I need CS6 working on my MBP. If this update is non critical I'll just let it ride. Oh, yea and I also keep AE CC and AE CC 2014 for no other reason than I can take a students CC 2014 file all the way back to CS6 so they can work in class. I'm guessing I'll need to add CC 2015 or what ever they call it so I will have 4 installations of AE just to do file conversions..... but that is another thread.
Any help on the current install issue would be appreciated

What update is it? What current version of CS6 do you have?
It may be a permissions thing. Mac OSX goes all screwy in the permissions whenever it updates. Try fixing that first. fixing permissions problem that impedes start of Adobe applications

Hi.

It worked fine yesterday, but when i tried to run it today it kept giving me, Error:16.
Please help me as i have a project to finish this week.

Well, that's information you didn't give in your original post. We're going to need a lot more information in order to help you. For starters, has it ever worked before? What are your system specs? What exact version number of AE CS6 are you running?
