All-of-Sudden file hangs on PC. After saving on Mac. Used to take file between systems. What gives?

I began a project on AE CC on my PC with most updated version of After Effects.
I have been moving this project between my PC and Mac with no problem -- for 8 months.
No plug-ins used.
All of a sudden the file will HANG on the PC.
This occurred after making a simple chage or two on my Mac and saving the project.
The change was nothing more than some adjustments to simple effects like HSL effect.
The odd thing is that it has been working fine with this workflow for 8 MONTHS.
Routinely -- I Open on AE CC on PC. Make Changes. Save as CS6 so I can open on Mac AE CS6.
Open on MAC CS6. Make changes. Save
Repeat process. Blah.
8 mos later...White Screen After Effects "TRIES" to preview a frame but hangs indefinately.
I can go back to a way previous version with luck but...
Well, anyone have any ideas to get the project to be more compliant.

What has changed between when it worked and now? What has updated?
Which versions fo the Mac OS are you running? Which version of Windows are you running?
What version of CS6 are you running and what version of CC are you running?
Does it happen in more than one project or just this one?
What happens if you create a new project and import that project into it?

Open the Sharing pane in System Preferences. If the Computer Name is not set, enter a name. You may first have to click the lock icon in the lower left corner and authenticate to unlock the settings.

Hey, can i clone my Macbook Pro internal hard drive and then paste it all onto a formated external hard drive, then make the Mac use the external as the primary hard drive?

hey, can i clone my Macbook Pro internal hard drive and then paste it all onto a formated external hard drive, then make the Mac use the external as the primary hard drive? please help for i only have around 618mb left out of 189GB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If what doesn't work?
If cloning your internal drive to the external drive is not successful, I expect CCC will tell you so. Assuming that doesn't happen, you will have a bootable replica of the internal drive on the external drive once CCC has finished.
You can then do any of several things:
1. Replace your internal drive with a much larger one (320GB or 500GB, or even larger), and clone the external drive's contents onto the new drive so you'll have all your data in one place. Note that if you do this, you'll also need to buy an external drive that's large enough to back the new internal drive up on.
2. Boot from the external drive as a temporary measure while you clear at least 30-40GB of data off the internal drive, allowing you to keep using it and saving small amounts of data to it. The external drive will then contain the only copies of the files you've deleted from the internal drive, so you'll need a seond external drive large enough to back both the other drives up on.
If you can't comfortably clear a minimum of 30GB off the internal drive, you really need a larger internal drive right now, and you shouldn't bother fooling around with the inadequate one you have — you'll just quickly overfill it again.
3. Replace the optical drive in your MBP with a large conventional hard drive, giving you two hard drives inside the machine. You will then need one or more external drives large enough to back up both of the internal drives.
If you sense a theme here — back up, back up, back up — you are correct. It's flat-out foolhardy to own or use a computer without maintaining complete, up-to-date backups of everything at all times.

Save as Reduced Size PDF and Save as Optimized PDF do not reduce the file size. What gives?

Save as Reduced Size PDF and Save as Optimized PDF do not reduce the file size. What gives? I used Acrobat 9 to do this for a long time. I recently received new laptop loaded with with Acrobat 10 and it does not work the same. I typically scan 8-10 pages of receipts, combine the files in Acrobat, and then optimize to reduce the size so I can upload with my expense report. Typically, my files were reduced to 200-400 KB. I have a 2 MB file that will not reduce at all.

Bernd, thank you for your attempt to help but the option dialog windows do not contain the same options. There are numerous other posts on this forum about this issue and there is no answer. Clearly, there is an issue. I have submitted this issue to our internal help desk.

Deleted all Java-related files from system

Hello there, community!
This issue will make me look like a dummy, but here it goes. Basically it is what I did yesterday, I erased all Java-related files from my computer for hideous reasons, now before considering a reinstall, I'd like to know whether there is a solution to this problem. My recovery partition still has Mavericks installed, which is weird, seeing as I am on Yosemite already.
Basically most apps won't start, and that includes Finder, App Store and every other major app/resource I might need to use for a recovery.
I tried to re-download Java from Oracle website and JDK, but .dmg files won't run either.
I'm trying to look for as many solutions as possible before I do a recovery, because again, I don't have a Time Machine, and hope there will be a solution as I have lots of work to finish.
Any type of help will be welcome!
Mid-2011 iMac 21.5, Mavericks 10.10.1

Hello EdNKh,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are trying to reinstall Java but cannot get the .dmg to run. With the information you provided in your post, I would suggest using the information in the attached article to reinstall OS X Yosemite. Reinstalling with this information will keep your files and settings intact.

Have a great day,

Share all folders and files between two OSX partitions

So I have two partitions on my drive, one running 10.9, the other running 10.10 beta. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to make all folders read/write accessible from the other partition. I'd like to be able to access them easily, so that I don't have to change back over to 10.9 every time I want to watch a movie or access one of my files in one of my folders.
All of the info I can find online is totally focused on how to share files between, say, a windows partition and osx partition for example, all the drivers needed etc... and I'm having a hard time just figuring out how to set permissions or whatever is needed to just get those pesky red dots off my folder icons and have them open and available form either partition.
Thanks for any help.
For what it's worth, I've tried hitting "get info" on one of the folders I know I can't get to from the other side (basically, all the main folders in my user except Public), and Everyone has Read Access (I can't even get in for Read at this point from other partition so I'm guessing that's not the right place). My user on the other partition is same username.
Possibly a beta issue with Yosemite, or is there something I'm missing?

This is a screen shot of the shared folder between my 2 partitions (10.6 and 10.9).

All-day events sometimes don't sync from iPod to Mac using Exchange Server

I have an iPod touch (1st or 2nd generation, not sure) which syncs with my MacBook via ActiveExchange and the company's exchange server.
I have been noticing that sometimes when I create all-day events on the iPod they don't show up in my Entourage-calendar. Even if I change their dates on the iPod or change them from all-day to a specific time. Nothing.
I already switched off time zone support or what's it called although all time zones are on the same city.
Any thoughts are highly appreciated. (And no, to be honest I don't think that it's a exchange-server-problem.)

All applications were "?" On the dashboard after time machine restore to new hard drive...what went wrong?

Hi folks
I used the cmd R option on booting the MBP and did a disk scan and it reported errors that could not be fixed/repaired.
So I opted to install a brand new 1Tbyte Seagate hybrid hard drive and restore from my time machine backup.
So I installed the new drive in the MBP...it stated that it needed to restore from the internet and I was treated with a rotating globe for about 10 minutes.
It then gave the normal restore options and I opened to format the new drive as a mac drive etc...
Selected the most recent TM backup from USB drive and pointed it to the new formatted HD in the MBP.
So far so good I thought....it said it was restoring....
waited about 4.5 hours and apparently it completed when I was out so I did not see any messages just a normal looking mavericks desktop BUT with "?" In the dashboard where all the applications icons should be?????
I assume something went wrong somewhere so I reinstalled the old HD and restarted TM and it's not starting to backup all 493Gbyte of disk whichI. Understand is normal after a full restore.
So...what to do now??? I'll wait for the 7 odd hours of TM to complete but how best should I proceed with the new HD etc...should I reinstall and copy mavericks to it from a memory stick and then attempt a new restore from the recent TMS backup? Or will this cause issues....
I also have an Inateck hard drive cloning device (brand new never used) so I had wondered if I should simply install the old drive and new drives into this and start the cloning mechanism? OR will this simply clone the errors that were reported on the old drive when it was in the MBP?
In short I'm not sure what to do for the best now and would welcome helpful suggestions as to how to proceed.
thanks
Nick

<<<<UPDATE>>>>
If at first you don't succeed...
Last night after the new 493 Gbyte time machine completed. I once again installed the new drive and restarted the MBP ...waited 10 min for the internet to download the basic disk utilities...restarted the restore from TM and waited 6 hours...Happy days it worked perfectly and like a rocket...the old disk had a read write speed of approx 50-60 Mb/s the new one (hybrid drive) measures at 100-110 Mb/s...programmes open and close noticeably faster and it's better than when the MBP was new...
Apparently this new hybrid drive "learns" frequently used programmes and caches parts that improves start up time etc as time progresses etc...the MBP now starts from cold boot in less than 1 minute compared to 2 plus before...I know minutes should not really matter but it does improve the user experience. I should add I have 16G of RAM installed which does make a difference with Photoshop and Aperture etc.
Hope this helps others or at least encourages people to try hybrid drives over the much more expensive SSD option.

CS3 Suddenly asking for serial number after 2 years of use.

I have been using CS3 for two years on a daily basis and suddenly it is asking me to input my serial number as if I was installing it for the first time. When I input my serial number it says it is invalid. I am unable to access any application in CS3. Does anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to stop it. This is my job. I need access to the software that I paid for.

All VIs containing MathScript cause a fatal crash after upgrading from 8.2 to 8.5... what gives?

So I finally took the plunge and updated to 8.5 from 8.2 and now when I open a project that was previously done (as in ready for release this week ) it causes a hard crash where LabVIEW closes completely. I've looked and can't seem to find any others complaining of this. My only option that works at this point is to have a coworker open all my VIs containing mathscript and delete the function with his 8.2 enviornment. What could be causing this? There has to be some simple answer...somewhere.
Thanks in advance for all the help!
Regards,
Dave

These VIs work fine for me under LV 8.2 and will no longer work under LV 8.5. The first one is a call to our power supplies, the second uses the math formula node to verify that some color and luminance parameters are valid.
In the meantime I am stuck using a coworkers 8.2 development system with TS 3.5 to deploy which works with no issues. When I try on my new system with 8.5 and TS 4.0 it crashes out.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Regards,
Dave

All the playlists I lovingly and painstakingly made have disappeared, but my songs are still there. What gives?

All the playlists I lovingly and painstakingly created have disappeared. I have Windows 7 and have decided NEVER EVER to get another 'update' of ITunes...grrr Help!

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

My keyboard freezes after using the option key... what gives?

I have a 17" MacBookPro with OSX 10.6.8
The problem: My keyboard key freeze after using the " option key" in Photoshop or when downloading a file using the option key.
I can usually use it 2 or 3 times before it makes a chirping cricket like sound… then my keys freeze up.? The only way to correct it is to restart.
Anyone else have or had this issue? it's frustrating. What's the deal?

Can I just bring my laptop to the nearest service center and get this problem solved directly? You know, usually it will takes several days to receive the backup keyborad, I can't wait
You'll have to phone the service center and ask. (When I lived not far from Lenovo's Canadian service center and wanted to bring in a ThinkPad for warranty repair they said that would be OK with them but my unit would be put on a queue the same as if I'd shipped it in. They simply didn't offer walk-in, while you wait service.)
In the interim it may or may not be possible to reattach the key, even just temporarily, depending on whether it wasn't put on properly at the factory or if it's physically broken in some way. Or you could use an external keyboard until Lenovo sends you a replacement, etc.
I've just call the local service center, he told me that he can not repair individual key, they can just replace the whole keyboard..... How bad luck I am!!!

After upgrading to most recent version, sound is crackly? What gives?

After I installed the latest version of iTunes, the sound playback has been crackly. I didn't have this problem before. Am I not operating iTunes with enough available memory? What do I need to do? The sound is like listening to the wrong radio station that doesn't have the strongest frequency.

hi queeninjun!
let's check through the possibilities in this document. since you're at an itunes 6.0.x now, you'll need to check on the QT 7 sound out settings.

I can't open a web page saved with "save page as" from the Firefox (3.6.16) file menu. What gives?

The icons for the saved page appear in the folder selected (e.g., Desktop)--and the default "whole web page" was selected in the "save as" box--but either double-clicking or right-clicking and selecting "open" on either icon leads to zippo. What am I doing wrong?

Is there a way to find all the locked files my computer?

I am having trouble importing some files into Aperture and I discovered that one of the reasons might be that some of the files are locked. I know how to unlock them but I'd like to find the locked files and unlock them all at once. Is there a way to do that?

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
