After launching Adobe CC many processes show as (Not Responding) in Activity Monitor

I'm running Adobe CC on a new Apple MacPro 6,1 (12-core with 64GB RAM). I find that many processes get into a (Not Responding) state as displayed by Activity Monitor.
Typically, when one sees a process (Not Responding) there's really not much that can be done other than using Activity Monitor to Quit or Force Quit the process. I've done this but the (Not Rsponding) processes even after being Quit/terminated, get relaunched with a different PID and will go into the (Not Responding) state almost immediately.
Here's a typical situation I captured today. In this example it's the Qmaster process.
This is becoming very annoying. However, I'm not sure what the implications of these (Not Responding) processes are. They do hold onto memory resouces but obviously aren't consuming/stealing CPU cycles. The Adobe CC does however become sluggish, so I'm thinking there's definitely a problem/bug here that Adobe needs to resolve.
Any insights or help resolving this issue is most welcomed. Thank you.
Is the Apple's Mavericks "App Nap" feature somehow involved with this I wonder ?  I do have that box unchecked in Energy Saver preferences.

You have a program running that is incompatible. What third-party sound or audio applications are you running? It will be one of those. If you quit them the problem should disappear. You will have to force quit coreaudio and UserEventAgent via Activity Monitor or restart the computer but do not run the third-party application(s).

  • Both After Effects & Adobe Media Encode CC giving are not letting me export.

    Dear All,
    Both After Effects & Adobe Media Encode CC giving are not letting me export movies.
    Some times they will, but after one file both programs give me the following error messages.
    After effects:
    “[file path and name].mov. An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-1610153464)"
    AME:
    "Can't read from source."
    I've went through the forum and found threads & pages discussing the problem.
    E.g.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2013/08/solutions-for-problems-with-quicktime-files-in -after-effects-cc-12-0-because-of-conflict-with-dvcprohdvideoout-quicktime-component.html
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1252092
    After following all the tips and suggestions (from deinstalling quicktime components & audio components to completely reinstalling CC) I'm still experiencing the problems.
    Which leaves me in a bit of a squeeze. I need to export over 144 movies in the coming 2 days and the only way to do this is to quit and open media encoder (or AE) after each single export.
    Not really an option.
    Both problems have the process Adobe QT sever in common, I took this from the console:
    9/26/13 1:02:44.517 PM com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[171]: ([0x0-0x42042].com.adobe.Adobe QT32 Server.application[331]) Job appears to have crashed: Segmentation fault: 11

    I don't no why Adobe puts out such a buggy piece of software (I know it has to with Apple's poor 32bit quicktime implimentation, but hey, this was known information no?).
    Upgrading to CC has given our office nothing but problems.
    Hope someone can help to find a work around until Adobe realeases a proper update and solves this problem once and for all.
    All help is much appreciated.

    Hello Tim,
    Thanks for the really quick response!
    Regarding the crash log: it doesn't reference com.apple.audio.CoreAudio (though it did before, so I followed all the steps in your blog post before I posted to this forum).
    I've uploaded the crashlog to:
    http://martijnlambada.com/TMP/AdobeQT32servercrash.zip
    If you want to inspect it. It mentions the DXV codec (which I also uninstalled), but the crash keeps occuring. Also I need to export to DXV since it's the only codec the d3 media
    server accepts (http://d3technologies.com).
    I followed all the steps in the troubleshooting steps.
    Codecs used: I've tried everything from animation to Apple ProRes (including: h264/motion jpeg/uncompressed). With all codecs the Adobe QT32 server keeps crashing (though I can't always reproduce).
    Export destination: Internal SSD (same as where the OS is installed on) + External raid (via firewire & thunderbolt) + external HD via usb 3.0 (tried everything).
    When does the problem start: Really hard to specify, sometimes a day without crashes, sometimes every export for days on end. Sometime after restarting (tried logging out, restarting, switching off and on the computer). With other programs running and with out. Now checking every process active when exporting, and comparing log files.
    Can you export to other formats: See question 1, sometimes I can, sometimes not.
    When you launch AE and/or AME, is QT32 Server running? At what point does it stop running?  Still runing when I open the program. It crashes when exporting (ofter after finishing the first export).
    What component files are in your Library/QuickTime folder?: Currently the folowing:
    AppleAVCIntraCodec
    AppleHDVCodec.component
    AppleIntermediateCodec.component
    AppleMPEG2Codec.component
    AppleProResCodec.component
    DesktopVideoOut.component
    DVCPROHDCodec.component
    DVCPROHDMuxer.component
    DVCPROHDVideoDigitizer.component
    DVCPROHDVideoOutput.component
    DVCPROHDVideoOutputClock.component
    FCP Uncompressed 422.component
    iChatTheaterPreview.component
    IMXCodec.component
    LiveType.component
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,

  • When i want to go another from a tab,it shows firefox not responding, for a while then opens that tab!this is embarrassing me a lot by taking so much time!!why

    I have two inconviniences with fire fox..
    1)when i want to go another from a tab,it shows firefox not responding, for a while then opens that tab!this is embarrassing me a lot by taking so much time!!why it happens?
    2) every time when adobe flash player is updated, it shows flash player can't be installed and it crashes! it says 'disable real player' though i never installed real player!!
    plz Let me know why it happens to me????

    1. Update firefox to the latest version 2. and disable real player in menu->addons->plugins.
    Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox 13 are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.

    hi help unlock the phone happened after we installed a new programa we can not get the activation password and ID, I know and still does not stop the phone bought in Israel and what documents should be sent to confirm that my phone Please read through the help

    What I am saying is ..........
    The iPhone HAS to be active making calls on the UK carrier network for the carrier to identify as "theirs" and therefore eligible for the Carrier to unlock
    The way to achieve this is to use a PAYG sim making and receiving calls to establish a customer relationship  with the Carrier and then follow the Carrier's process to unlock
    With a PAYG it usually means adding a specified (by the carrier ) amount  usually £15 /£20 depending on the carrier
    This is how O2 function and according to Gemma  this is how Vodafone work

    First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

  • IE11 Shows :Program not responding, on Desktop, after IE File is closed out

     Hi, I am looking for help with this odd problem and cannot find any other question like it.
    My PC has Windows 7 64bit installed on HP pavilion g7 notebook. I use 32 bit browser I mostly go to in private as I have to erase all Temp internet files manually.(Different problem)   
      I always open IE , not in private first, and again before I close out to insure some needed      files are in temp internet files. I have done this for 3 years as this PC has a quirk and am       
    telling this just so you have all information. Still EI will close out, as below, no matter what!
    After IE 11 update KB2962872 IE works well but very often after closing out IE file a message appears on my Desktop saying that the program is not responding....looks for solution.....then says to close out IE. But I had already closed it out???? The
    message takes 1 to 3 seconds to appear on my Desktop. Makes no sense and I have tried many things. Tried a compatibility       trouble-shooter and when  I give the file for IE it said this program cannot be tested.
    IE does not show up in Programs and Files , from my control panel?
    Event viewer shows Error:
    Faulty Application name: IEXPLORER.EXE, version:11.0.9600.17207,time stamp:0x53a20c50

    Hello Picpansnap & Rob,
      I encountered a similar problem, as Picpansnap did "After IE 11 update KB2962872 IE works well but very often after closing out IE file a message appears on my Desktop saying that the program is not responding....looks for solution.....then
    says to close out IE." This happens now every time I open IE.
    I agree Rob that this is likely a 3rd party add-on problem. In my case I tried the consumer solutions 1st.  I myself did try all the recommended solutions and even ran the good old fixit tool. However I was not ever able to get to Tools>Internet
    Options>Advanced as my browser would crash shortly after opening. This became very frustrating so being an IT professional myself, I of course came to technet to check the forums.  KB2962872 is a recent update at the time of this writing and as such
    the consumer site may not quite be aware of the need for an advanced solution as of yet.  Picpansnap showed some advanced level understanding by sending an event viewer output, it was the similarities between his output and mine as well as your mention
    of 3rd party add-on's that prompted me to remember another method to turn them off as I had tried Tools>Internet Options>Advanced unsuccessfully due to the quick crashing of newly opened IE page.
    I remembered how to diagnose an individual IE add-on so I opened internet properties and from the program tab clicked the manage add-on button and proceeded to disable all IE add-on's and bring them up one by one to see which one was the culprit. In my case
    it was the avast online security add-on that was the cause. With that add-on disabled Internet Explorer is now working fine. I have a subscription to avast internet security and am passing on this information to them as well as to http://answers.microsoft.com
    I would like to wholeheartedly thank both of you for providing me with the clues to get my own IE working again. I had just performed a re-install of Windows 8 due to AMD's 14.4 driver hosing my USB, sound & DVD drive. I was able to get the sound &
    DVD working again without the re-install but after spending hours in forums and trying solutions I was left with the re-install & update all the way back to Win 8.1 as my only option (recovery image was on external USB drive , of course). That was a battle
    and I really do appreciate the posts here in technet where many problems with Microsoft programs are resolved 1st.  I usually am a reader only & this will be my 1st post, I hope this can help others with similar issues.
    Chuck ;)

  • Livecomm.exe process showing as not verified

    When using process explorer I noticed that the only process that was not signed(verified) was Livecomm.exe.
    I reinstalled windows 8, used process explorer, the livecomm.exe was verified.
    I upgraded all updates, used process explorer, the livecomm.exe was verified.
    I upgraded to windows 8.1, used process explorer, the livecomm.exe was NOT VERFIED!!!
    Just before it had finished updating to Windows 8.1 a message popped-up stating ' The group policy client service failed the sign-in. The universal unique identifier (UUID) type is not supported.
    What do I have to do to make sure Livecomm.exe is signed????????
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Livecomm.exe is a mail process, when the mail app is opened, the Livecomm.exe is activated, your problem does lie in the Livecomm.exe, it is because the Group Policy Client service failed the sign-in, when a user logs on a system ,
    Winlogon communicates with the Group Policy service through an RPC call upon system startup for computer policy and with user logon for user policy. If RPC communications have already been established, Winlogon can no longer contact the Group Policy service,
    this results in the error message.
    Besides, I want to know how the Windows system is deployed?
     The problem can be solved by checking the SCCM side in the following way:
    Separate the Group Policy service into a separate SVCHOST instance. Implement the following command in the System Center Configuration Manager task sequence to set the corresponding
    registry entry:
    cmd /c reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\gpsvc" /v Type /t REG_DWORD /d 0x10 /f
    Detailed steps as below as a reference:

  • Adobe Reader 11.0.0.9 not responding on start up.

    Adobe Reader 11.0.0.9 has been not responding on start-up resulting in a program crash. This also has been happening when trying to print. I've tried uninstalling the program and re-installing with no luck. I've also tried using the uninstall utility and re-installing Adobe Reader 11.0.0.9 and it will still crash just a few seconds after starting up.
    Any ideas what might be causing the problem?

    Thanks for the quick response, unfortunately it'll lock up before I am able to make the change.
    The fix we had been using is to set it into WindowXP compatibility mode and launch the program. When launched in compatibility mode it starts with a prompt that allows you to disable enhanced security on start up. The deal breaker with that is that non admin users are required to enter admin credentials when launching Adobe.
    I'm just curious why on a brand new clean installation of Adobe reader, on a brand new clean installation of Windows 7 Professional, is crashing on start-up. Are there any known issues caused by group policy?

  • Adobe Reader 11 w/Windows 7 not responding

    Why does Adobe Reader 11 fail to respond sometimes?  Re-installing allows it to function several times then we get a "not responding" message.  A plank screen is displayed and the number of pages but NO text!  Using repair produces the same results.  Upon 1st use of the repaired/reinstalled reader 11 we also get the adobe message "Cannot find or create the font "Times New Roman".  Some characters may ot display or print correctly".  The text is mostly displayed at this point.  The second attempt to display the same PDF or another displays completely w/out any error message at all.  At some point during the testing process Adobe Reader 11 stops working!  Restarts don't help.  Shutdowns don't help.  Seems only a re-install or repair allows us to correctly view our PDF document a number of times before we have to repeat the process.  Is help available?

  • The Adobe Flash storage setting panel does not respond?

    It stays in the middle of the video and does not respond whether clicking agree or disagree. Am using the latest version of Opera and have not had this problem until recently. How do I get rid of it?

    Hi, I guess this is (almost) the same for Windows 2000 users? I have several folders with older Adobe/Shockwave appdata in my German Windows 2000 installation, e.g. C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Hans-Jürgen Bardenha\Anwendungsdaten\Adobe\Flash Player and/or C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Hans-Jürgen Bardenha\Application Data\Adobe\Shockwave Player 11, created on the date or shortly after OS installation. So it's safe to simply delete them with all their content if you have this issue of a freezing Adobe Flash setting panel?
    By the way, I'm asking because I also experience freezing problems now with Flash content on sites that worked fine before the update to the latest plugin. Disabling hardware acceleration in v10.1. didn't help either, I'm using the newest Opera 10.60 final, but on a very old computer.

  • Some processes are called (null) in the Activity Monitor

    In the activity monitor, some processes (i.e.: Word, Entourage, Excel (but not power point), Photoshop CS3 Extended, Adobe Acrobat Professional 8) are called (null).... They are still running perfectly but it just annoys me...
    Anyone has the remedy of this problem??
    Thanks a lot...

    Ok, thank you! Someone said he wouldn't do it, then my friend said that in the worst case I'll just have to restart my computer but I was still worried about it.

  • Why does my firefox 9.0.1 occasionlly stay open after I have closed it and it's not displayed on my monitor?

    I still use Win XP sp 3. My firefox browser doesn't do it very much. I will have everything else closed out except my firefox. I'm not doing anything differently than should be done to finish. I will click the X to close. Then, I want to go right back into firefox and what happens next is the point I'm talking about. When I click my desktop icon, a box comes up that says, "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. You must first close the existing firefox process or restart your system." The problem being, is that there is nothing on my screen but my desttop.

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />
