After Effects won't start up after 11.0.4 update (Mavericks)

Hello,
i have just installed After Effects CS6 11.0.0. I'm getting the message that i can't open the program, because it has to be updated. When i did update AE to 11.0.4, the message "The program Adobe After Effects CS6 can not be opened. -10810"
Anyone???
I did try to install it again, but with no good results..

That's a Mac OS error code that indicates that you have too many processes running. Restart your computer and try again.

Recently installed Creative Suite 6 and am using Acrobat Pro. Suddenly it crashes and now it won't start. I installed the current update but still not. This happened before, in 2012, and was finally fixed. what do I do? Duncan

Hi all,
My recently installed (Windows 8.1) Acrobat Pro (part of CS6) suddenly stopped working - now it won't start.
This happened on Windows 7 in 2012 and was eventually fixed.
Any advice on what I should do? [I can't find where to post a question to the adobe help people]
- Duncan

Well, the computer stopped starting up at all. It could never find the operating system. I tried safe mode and virtually every other non-standard start-up option. I then did target disk mode with another MBP and got the message: "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." I then tried using disk utility and it couldn't retrieve retrieve the data using restore (writing to an external drive). I suspect that this means the hard drive would need to be replaced. In your expert opinions, is this necessarily true? Could this still be just a software problem, or perhaps some other piece of hardware?
Part of the reason I ask is that this laptop is now nearly five years old. It's needed a new battery for two years. If it's a virtual certainty that the hard drive is toast, I don't want to pay $150 for someone to take it out and try to recover any remaining data from it, only to reveal that the data is indeed irretrievable (since the computer itself is probably only worth $300-400 at this point). The nearest Genius Bar is also more than 2 hours away. Am I going about this the right way by using disk utility, given that the hard drive won't mount to the desktop of the other computer? If the hard drive can't be reat in target disk mode, does that confirm that it is the hard drive?
Thanks
Oh also, it does still make the startup noise, even though I can't run the AHT since I can't get it to start up in safemode. I thought this mean that it passing various hardware tests. Does this not apply to the hard drive?

After Effects won't start

downloaded the trial from cloud, it works fine untill I restart my computer, cloud still works fine but when I try to open after effects it simply won't run. double clicking does nothing, the icon is basically a waste of space after i restart my computer. I also notice that after I restart cloud always has an update to fix the bugs in after effects cc, but that doesn't help the start-up either. Can anyone help? thanks!

Without system information, all this is useless.

After Effects won't start Media Encoder

I'm trying to render from After Effects through Adobe Media Encoder, but the link will not work. I tried using Ctrl+Alt+M, and I tried opening it from the drop down menu. AE simply won't work with AME.
It worked before I upgraded to CC 2014, and I can still render out of AME through Premiere CC 2014.

Larchuck on another thread suggested this and it helped me as well. He was using windows 8 and I, 7, but it worked
Get Properties on the AME .exe
Under Compatibily Tab I checked "Run this program in compatibily mode for:" and selected windows 8
Hit apply
AME opens.
I went back to the Compatibilty Tab and unchecked "Run this program in compatibily mode for:" and I also clicked the button above it (Run compatibility troubleshooter)...went through its process and AME is woking again.
Turning it off again didn't work for me though so I'm leaving it on

Powerbook G4 won't start up follwing attempted OS software update

Hello,
My girlfriend has a 17" powerbook G4 to which she just tried to update the OS. She is not too sure about the details, but thinks she may have been running 10.4.6 beforehand and was updating from there. When she tried to update she was told that a component of the update had failed and she would need to restart, which she did however was met with only a black screen. Since then it has got to a stage where there is a black screen for about 40seconds after switching on, then a blue screen with a grey Mac OS X dialog box, at which point it stops and the hard drive remains quiet. I couldn't seem to start it in either safe mode or single user mode. I have tried looking in every forum around and pressing various combinations of startup keys to no avail. We are overseas and do not have the OS X install disk. She is seriously upset - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi benny6011, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this, though you've tried some already...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
May even need to do an Archive and Install if you have room on the HD, but saves all your files and gives a new OS...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.
If you have another Mac you might try FireWire target disk mode...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
Might even have to resort to this...

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Premiere will freeze at loading screen and won't start. Running win7 64bit

Hi, I'm having a bit of a problem here.
I just recently upgraded to CC because I had this issue with the CS 6 versions.
The problem:
Premiere Pro, inDesign, Illustrator and After Effects won't start. They will all get stuck at the loading screen. The weird thing is that Photoshop and Lightroom work without any problems.
I've tried restarting, completely wiping all Adobe Software with the cleaner tool and reinstalling. I've contacted support via chat and the couldn't find a fix. I then looked for weird processes in the task manager and found out that after a while (2-5 minutes) of letting Premiere show a blank loading screen (no "Loading ..." / "Initialising..." etc), suddenly "Loading ImporterPhotoshopProxy.prm" will appear and a process called "PhotoshopServer.exe" will show up in the task manager. If I kill this process then Premiere will start.
Has anyone had similar problems? Can't find anything on Google.
Thanks in advance.

If you had problems with CS6 upgrading to CC or CC2014 will not solve your problems. You must have basic hardware/software problems that only will get worse going to more complex versions. Do you have any third party codec pack installed? You must have rogue processes running. When you start up your system how many processes are running, look at your task manager?
What is your hardware configuration?

ThinkVantage Toolbox Won't Start/Hangs

Recently on my new x201 with Windows 7 x64 the ThinkVantage Toolbox won't start, it just locks up. Eventually Windows tells me it is hung, and checks for solutions but doesn't find anything.
I have tried uninstall/reinstalling the version from the website with no change. (File name: lttsetup_60551460x64)
I searched the forum and saw problems with account names that have spaces, but that isn't my problem. (Single word username, no spaces.)
Downloading the installer from http://web.lenovothinkvantagetoolbox.com/index.html#top didn't help.
Since it won't start I can't use the update option inside it to get an update, what can I do? (Not that I am sure the update would resolve my problem.)

I ended up doing a complete system restore, letting LTT update to the .61 version and then applying the Windows 7 updates and it is working again. I sure hope I wouldn't have to do that on a normal basis.

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.

Trial of After Effects- Cinema 4D won´t start up

I have installed the latest version of After Effects CC, and it runs fine.
The problem is that the Cinema 4D-part of After Effects will not start up.
Have anyone else encountered this problem?

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

Macbook Pro won't start after Yosemite

(Posted this originally in the MacBook area, not seeing that it was the MacBook Pro area I should post. So reposting here. Sorry for confusion)
Hello all, and thank you for reading about my problem.
I have an old early 2008 MacBook. Ran fine, no problems, thing is a tank. I use it for my PhD dissertation. Last week I installed Yosemite on it, and it starts fine the first boot up, I get some work done and go to sleep. Typical night (other than putting the new OS on). The next morning, it won't start. At all.
When the power button is pressed it lights up for a second, the optical drive makes a bzzzt (typical start up noise) the fans start for a second and I heard the hard disk and then it IMMEDIATELY shuts down. Nothing from the screen at all. If I hold down the button, it lasts about 4 seconds before the front light blinks and then the computer goes dead again.
I've tried various combinations with the battery or AC power, used the hotkeys for the (PRAM reset, assuming it is on long enough to register), and waited several days for the battery to go down a bit. Nothing, it just refuses to start and I have no idea why. Nothing has happened to it, no drops, no water, no nothing at all between the time it was working fine, and the next day where it just does not work. Charge light and battery are both green and no problem there. Took out and reinserted the memory just in case as well.
Reset SMC/Tried SMC Bypass. No change.
Nothing, no effect at all.
I'm seriously worried. I've read a bit about the Nvida problem, but not sure if that is in play here. One time in the past it wouldn't start, but it seemed to just be some weird fluke or the battery, and after messing with it a bit, it started up again. A charge issue when it hit 0 charge.
The Apple store here in Japan is a nightmare to make an appointment for recently (probably all the bugs due to iOS and other problems, ugh). So I'm really hoping I'm just missing some possible fix. I can't imagine (and cannot even remotely afford) a fix or let alone a new computer as well. I almost wonder if Yosemite could have some sort of impact, even though it is software.
Please, any ideas? I'm desperate here...

Okay, I just got back from the Apple Store. I can't say I'm satisfied, but it went farther than I expected (although I admit I had rather low hopes).
They tested the computer and decided that yes, the logic board is damaged in some way. They admitted that there were numerous problems with my model. They both agreed that upgrading to Yosemite was the likely cause of pushing the computer over the limit and breaking the board (likely putting extra pressure on the computer).
The result? They offered a 5% discount if I were to buy a new mac at the Apple Store, and gave a new charger for a computer that doesn't work. Apparently, there are no more replacement boards from the US, and that is the maximum discount they can offer. I believe them, and the staff WAS extremely kind and considerate and sympathetic.
However, seriously, Apple you release an OS that kills a computer due to stress, and then offer 5% off on a new computer and that is acceptable? I don't think so... I'm a PhD student and struggling to get by, and I can't afford to just replace computers like paper plates when a new OS is released that isn't tested enough to NOT break older models that it is marked acceptable for.
Certainly unsatisfied right now, and I have a computer that I used for my dissertation that doesn't work. Will be contacting Apple customer service to try to argue that they need to take responsibility for this. I wasn't the only one at the Apple Store, and the guy next to me had immediately had his computer collapse right after Yosemite was installed.
