After Effects won't update for MAC 10.9.4 even on Root account.

I have previously updated my Mac OS to 10.9.4 and it was only until today that i wanted to use After Effects. I open up After Effects and i get an error, after some googling I am taken to a download page for the After Effects update. I downloaded the update, but when I ran it it said I had insufficient privileges. After a long string of events that involved tricking my computer into thinking it was brand new to make an admin account, i made an admin account and from there got access to the root account. Once on the root account I figured that all permissions would be open, but no, I still get the same error message of, "Please contact your system Administrator if you wish to apply updates on your machine. Updates have been suppressed by your Administrator."
Is there a button I need to press or a command i need to type in the root account that will allow me to update AE? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

This is not about the administrator for the computer; rather, this is about the administrator of your software licenses. Whoever distributed your Adobe software seems to have chosen the option in that distribution to disable updates. You'll need to talk with them.

Difference Between Adobe After Effects Standard and Pro for Mac

Hi Gang
Can anyone tell me the major differences between After Effects 7.0 'Standard' and 'Pro 7.0' for Mac?
Thanx
Mike

AE 7 Pro contained additional features (such as motion tracking/stabilization) and plugins/effects that were not included in the Standard version.
With the release of CS3, Adobe abandoned the Standard/Pro segregation - now there is only one professionally-featured After Effects.

Hi mcclausky, you may need to manually remove a policy setting from the registry. You also should scan for malware that might have created this problem.
This article lists scanning and cleaning tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
To check your Windows registry for policy settings that might affect Firefox or other programs, I suggest consulting a Windows forum or Microsoft's forums. For example:

Video won't run. telling me to update flash player. click on update for mac won't load?

video won't run, telling me to update flash player, click on update for mac won't update. do i need to load flash player and is it ok for mac?

Yes, it's fine for your Mac ...
Most sites such as YouTube require the Flash plugin.
Flash isn't a player per se, but a plugin.
Sometimes uninstalling the current plugin then reinstalling new can help.
Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Make sure and uninstall the old plugin first then restart your Mac.
If you use Safari to view videos, from the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try a video.

Migration assistant update for Mac OS X Snow Leopard

Hello -- I downloaded SNOW LEOPARD successfully that past week. I did a software update as well afterwards.
Now in preparation for upgrading to LION OS X, I read an article that mentions one must make sure to have the MIGRATION ASSISTANT UPDATE for Mac OS X Snow Leopard installed. I am unsure if this was included in the software updates I performed. One would assume it would be there. BUT there is not a detailed listing of what these combination updates include. HOW can I tell if I have the desired version required to continue on to LION?
Another suggestion was for one to perform FIRST AID on the start up disk. It only says to select your Mac HD and then to "verify" ..... do they mean to VERIFY DISK or VERIFY DISK PERMISSIONS. I have on occasion performed a REPAIR DISK PERMISSIONS but not the others mentioned. I do not know what the difference is?
THANK YOU

I have the same console mesages repeating ad-nasium as you do. What is interesting is I do have the StartuoItems directory but it is empty. The problem I have is that the log-in window comes up as normal, but I can not type in it for about 5-8 seconds. This has started after the latest updates which you mention. Don't know if this issue is related or not. Have deleted the loginwindows and loginitems preferences to no effect.

After effects won't download, but premiere pro does. You can't use this version of the application "Adobe After Effects CS6" with this version of OS X.

Adobe After effects better on pc or mac?

adobe after effects run better on a mac or pc?

About the same depending on the specifications of the machine. Both have some issues. This is a question that can easily start an OS war because folks can be very emotional about their OS.
Generally I've had far fewer issues on the Mac side but they have been more OS related than AE related. To be fair I have not worked on a machine with the latest version of the Windows OS installed so I cannot speak to system stability, ease of working on a network, or driver compatibility on Windows 7. I can say that in my shop on the Mac side there have been no OS issues in more than 5 years, no need to reinstall the OS, and only 1 minor issue with an OS upgrade that was fixed in about a half hour by checking the Apple user discussion boards. I can't say that for any Windows machine that I have ever worked with.
I routinely work on a first generation 24" intel iMac that I purchased when it was introduced in 2006. The machine was upgraded to Show Leopard when it was introduced, the hard drive was upgraded to 1.5TB late in 2009 by cloning the original drive not by re-installing the OS. The case has been opened up about every 18 months to remove dust and make sure that everything is clean. The machine is still working just fine today. Adding to my satisfaction with this machine, I treated it like a laptop carrying it around from client to client or from coffee shop to coffee shop in an iLugger case nearly every work day for almost 4 years. Even with all that abuse the display is still nearly perfect (about 2 dead pixels) and the machine runs as well as it did on day one.
All of the shops that I do work for use Macs for all their editing and graphics work. There are only 2 shops that I know of in my area that use Windows machines as their primary platforms. I know that there are many windows users on the forum and that there are many shops that run Windows. Some of them will surely voice their opinion on the reliability and efficiency of their machines.
If I were starting out fresh and had no history with either system reliability would be my first consideration. A couple of wasted days every couple of months fixing OS problems are much more expensive than a few extra minutes of render time on each project because a machine isn't quite as fast. No matter what platform you choose you're going to find folks that are having problems with configuration, the OS, drivers and the compatibility because nothing's perfect.

Up-to-date contacts on iPhone and MobileMe won't won't update the Mac

Hi,
I just got an iPhone GS and there's a glitch that's driving me mad. (I had an iPod Touch before this so it's not all new.)
First of all I had duplicate Calendars and Contacts ("On my Mac" and MobileMe) so deleted those on my mac by following the instructions here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1922950 which just left MobileMe.
After a bit of fiddling and resetting the Calendars now work so that when I update the iPhone it appears on the Mac, and vice versa.
However, this is not the case with Contacts, and since repeating the process (resetting the Mac, deleting on iPhone and starting again) now if I make changes to contacts on the iPhone they do update MobileMe, but MobileMe does not update the Mac. When I update MobileMe on the website it won't update the Mac either.
I've done everything I can think of/have read about and would really love to get this working as it should.
Many thanks,
D

Yet more information:
I went ahead and clicked "Replace" and then got the following error message:
"You are attempting to reset Contacts on MobileMe from this computer.
Contacts have recently been reset on Mobileme. Are you sure you want to reset the Contacts on MobileMe?"
But nothing changed (didn't even lose the up-to-date contact changes on the iPhone) but then I get the error messages again and again and again...
Please help!
Thanks,
D

HT6030 I downloaded Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 and was told it could not be installed because it was from an unidentified developer. Tried installing download from MailUpdate & advised the disk did not meet the requirements for update. Hmmmm.

I downloaded Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 and was told it could not be installed because it was from an unidentified developer. Tried installing download from MailUpdate & advised the disk did not meet the requirements for update. Expect it's due to being at 10.9.1. Mail is still teetering between dysfunctional and non-functional. Advice?

I'm not sure what "Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6" is. Mac OS X 10.5.6 is Leopard, a system that is quite old at this point. There have not been any Mail updates for Leopard in quite some time. If you are trying to install some old Mail update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 in Mavericks, that won't work.
If you are trying to install the Mavericks Mail update manually, that's not necessary if you have updated through the App Store. If the App Store shows no updates, you don't need this. (The error message doesn't make sense, and may indicate some other problem with your system, assuming that you were downloading this update from Apple's site.)
I'd advise you to start a new topic in the Mavericks forum and describe the problems you are having with Mail. Be sure to include specifics, but try to avoid speculating on causes, as responses that may be related to an inaccurate assumption on your part can cloud the issue.

After Effects CS6 upgrade error in mac mavericks

Say hello to everyone.
Now i'm very tired and irritated about upgrading after effects cs6. Because my mac version is mac os x 10.9.5, mavericks so have to upgrade After Effects cs6.
BUT, only upgrade version 11.04 installed, and the others (11.01/ 11.02/ 11.03) still not installed and have an error message : the error code is U44M2P7.
What is this code mean and what should i do next?

If you have 11.0.4 installed, you have everything in 11.0.1, 11.0.2., and 11.0.3
There is no reason to install any update other than 11.0.4

After 10.6.5 update my mac will not reboot

After 10.6.5 update my mac will not reboot. It just spins at the white apple screen. Luckily boot camp works but, all of my important stuff is on the mac side. What can I do? I did not backup(I know that was bad), can I get my old settings and files back? What do I do?

Try sig's suggestion first, then, if that doesn't fix it, try some of the fixes here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2653184&tstart=0
Some of them won't be relevant if you can't even boot, of course.

I cannot import any video into my Lightroom 5.4 (last version updated) for MAC

I cannot import any video into my Lightroom 5.4
(last version updated) for MAC
in the beginnig it was working, just after installation and update... now nomore...
I use .mp4 files
Already tried to use a new catalog, clean caches, and reinstalling
the error says "was not able to import video files"
thanks

Arghhh! A big thank-you to hhps-photo, you just solved the myth bothering me for the last 2 months!
I recently upgraded to Lightroom 5 from 4 and could not import any video. But when I downgrade to LR4 it worked again. I've tried so many other solutions suggested in the forum but none worked including cleaning cache, install divix plugin, install 32 bit version etc. Finally - it's because I blocked LR5 connecitons in my firewall !!!
So simply allowed LR5 internet connection in my firewall settings and LR5 worked like a charm!
