After Effects CS6 Won't Uninstall!

I am trying to uninstall AE CS6 but everytime I do it comes up with a message saying uninstalled failed and to either restart my computer, exit all applications or uninstall again. I have done all of the about and it still will not uninstall. Please, if you know the answer to why this is happening help a stranger out

try reinstalling over your current installation > then uninstall.

Adobe After Effects CS6 - how to uninstall/reinstall or transfer license to a new computer

My old computer has crashed, and so I built a new one recently. I have been installing all the applications for it, downloading files, so on and so forth. I recently insterted one of the hardrives from my old computer, and was able to see the files I had from my old computer. All of my adobe applications are on there, and I can see them, however; I cannot use them, which is okay, since most of them were free applications that I could download from the website. But Adobe After Effects CS6, which is the application I really need, does not open it; instead, it reads: "Configuration Error: Please uninstall and reinstall the product. Error: 16". I bought the CD for After Effects last summer, but I cannot find it anywhere. I heard you don't need the CD to transfer the license to a new computer, but I can't figure out how to do this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, since after building my computer, I have absolutely no funds nor interest to buy another After Effects CD.
Thanks,
John W. King

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. 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.

What exact update are you trying to apply, and how? Give as much detail as possible.

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!

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:

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).
Thanks for the help!!

Had a tech connect to my computer, tried a number of things, this was the culprit:

My After Effects CS6 won't update from the Creative Cloud

Can anyone help me? I tried customer support and there was nothing. The support sucks.

Trouble installing After Effects cs6 on my new Yosemite system.

I then attempted to install all the software from my old computer. Installed Entire cs6 suite, after effects is greyed out.
When i tried to open, i received an error " You can’t use this version of the application “Adobe After Effects CS6” with this version of OS X. You have “Adobe After Effects CS6” 11.0. "
I then read online that there was fix by updating to After Effects to 11.4. Due to the fact that i cant open program to update from within i downloaded update and tried to install via the installer. I acts like it it will start even giving a timeline of how long it will take then closes and says update failed.
It then says you can look at error log, when i do it says " Adobe After Effects CS6 (11.0.4) update Update is not applicable. Error Code: U44M2P28 ".
Anyone knows how i can fix this issue and get after effects working? Thanks in advance

There have been a few people having problems getting updates and a few different solutions. It all depends on what's messed up on your machine.
It could be as simple as fixing permissions: fixing permissions problem that impedes start of Adobe applications
Somewhat advanced, but it worked for somebody: Unable to upgrade to 11.0.1 for AE CS6
You may have to defeat a daemon... Newly installed After Effects CS6 won't launch.
One solution for a different OS and AE version, but might solve it: Mavericks and AE 12.0/12.1/12.2

Hi Yovanniflores,

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 CS6 (Macintosh) won't open/work on Yosimite

After Effects CS6 (Macintosh) won't open/work on Yosimite
Can someone provide a solution to correct this matter? Thanks
Additionally, i'm not able to do an update on Adobe for some reason. I'm getting the following error message; server is not responding; it might be offline temporarily, or the Internet or firewall settings may be incorrect. I highly doubt it's my firewall settings.

All updates are listed here:
http://adobe.ly/DVA_updates
Install the most recent CS6 update.
Don't install the update manually unless you encounter a problem with the automatic way. To use the automatic way, open any Adobe application (like Bridge) and choose Help > Updates.
