AME CS6 hangs upon clicking "start"

Hello all,
Forgive me if this has been discussed previously. I have searched the forum and come up empty handed.
I am running OS X Snow Leopard with AME CS 6 and Premiere CS 6. I encounter problems when I try to queue files from Premiere, or even when I plain import them from finder. I choose my settings (often H. 264 / DV Widescreen 24p) and click start. The screen hangs with no motion and the "encoding" bar doesn't budge. Strangely, I can still cancel the job from within the program. It is not completely frozen.
This problem occurred after 48 hours successful use of the utility, and I changed nothing in the process. I have reinstalled AME and Premiere, and performed preference resetting by holding shift upon AME startup.
Can anyone else suggest a solution? Thank you so much.

Also you may need deal with that PDF stuff that Apple hide/ suppress on newer versions of OSX. Not a current Mac user, though, just throwing out recollections from things I've read here and there...

SAP BW 640-----SAINT HANGS AFTER CLICKING START

Hi Everybody,
We are on stack 9 on the source BW 640. I am trying to take the stack to 22 as a prerequirement for unicode conversion, and the upgrade to BI 7.0.
In this regard there is a dependency on PI_BASIS to be on 2005, and BI_CONT to be on 353. Currently we are on PI_BASIS 2004, and BI_CONT 352 on the source.
We have extracted the appropriate installation packages for the above components. When we run SAINT to install these components, and click START it just hangs. It does not take me to the next window.
At least SAINT used to take me to the next window after clicking start, but one change I did was to update the kernel to 221, saint was still hanging after clicking start, again updated the kernel to 274 which is the latest release for NW 2004. I also have the latest version of R3Trans, and tp. SAINT still hangs after clicking start button. No logs are getting generated in \usr\sap\trans\log. No files are getting generated in \usr\sap\trans\tmp.
I restored the database to what it was before we initiated the SAINT process. Still SAINT hangs after clicking start button.
In STMS-overviewu2014system-sap system-all the checks work fine(connection, transport directory, transport tool). Likewise in SAINT-utilities-check-transport tool----every thing looks good.
Why is SAINT hanging after clicking start button, can we downgrade the kernel to what it was before (level 155).
Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Ramesh Srinivasan.

Thank you so very,very much. We are currently using a 640 gui. We tested with 710 gui and saint after clicking start does not hang.
So we are assuming that 710 gui will solve the problem.
Thanks once again. A very timely help. You bet I'll touch base with you if I run into issues.

Windows 7, CS4 Media Encoder freezing and crashing upon clicking "Start Queue" - every sequence!

Windows 7, CS4 Media Encoder freezes when queue starts with sequences from Premiere. However, sequences opened from Media Encoder's "Add Sequence" export fine. Have re-installed (without first un-installing), issue is ongoing. I have several important deadlines fast approaching, please help! Media cache has been cleared (both automatically and manually), computer has been defragged and scanned for disk errors... I am absolutely stumped!

I've checked the anti-virus (I didn't think of that!), but it doesn't seem to make any change.
I've had Window Task Manager running while trying to export, it would seem that the problem occures when PProHeadless.exe opens. If I manually close it right before clicking "Start Queue", AME doesn't freeze until PProHeadless.exe re-starts once more.
Any information on forums regarding PProHeadless.exe seem more to do with an error message, not that the application itself is causing problems. I've tried multiple different sequences, all with different footage, different types of files and all with the same result.
Would a complete reformat or Windows and CS4 be the only answer? I dread the thought but I'm getting desperate.

Audition CS6 Crashes Upon Clicking "R" to Prepare for Recording

I've tried uninstalling and re-installing. Would not record but could press the R. The second time opening Audition, started crashing when I pressed the R.
I'm working on an iMac with the Fusion Drive. Trying to record with a Blue Snowball.
I have had success recording on this device on the same settings before but it's just suddenly started doing this recently.
I will take any suggestions I can get... Very frustrated.

Hello
you wrote "I've tried uninstalling and re-installing".
Please be careful with (de)installing aso. by (de)installing by your own resources. As much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
Sometimes, we know in the meantime, the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html or http://helpx.adobe.com/de/contact.html and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.
Good luck!

Dreamweaver CS6 Hangs Upon Exiting "Manage Sites"

Anytime I edit an existing site or add a new site under "Manage Sites" and click "Done", Dreamweaver will hang with the spinning beach ball for 5-6 minutes. During that time the app is unusable. A pretty bad bug. After the hang time, the app works fine.
Help?

I have the same problem.
Windows 7 x64, 12GB Ram, Dual Xeon 2.66 processors (12 threads)
Dreamweaver CS6 v12 build 5808.
It will freeze for 3-4 minutes and it is unusable. Then it works as normal. Seems to freeze when I open a file, save or switch between files in the app.
I tried to Disable Dreamweaver's Resolve To IP Address feature:

it did not help.

AME CS6 won't even start

I have an issue where AME won't start on a win7 system, it doesn't even show the startup splashscreen.
It will show up very briefly in the task manager processes and then it just disappears. I have tried the usual remedy (which helped once before with AME 5.5), deleting the AME preferences folder inside the appdata folder, but that doesn't help at all, AME still doesn't start.
I think this has something to do with the 6.0.3 update, AME did work without a problem before I applied the update. Everything else works
Any ideas?

It's possible you simply have a defective battery. Try going down to your local Apple Store and try one of their batteries in your MBP. If it works then simply replace it.

IPhoto 11 just hangs upon click, won't open

I get a gray screen as if an import is about to happen and a spinning wheel. Nothing else.
Any suggestions?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Illustrator CS6 Hangs on Start-Up/Launch

Hi Everyone,
I have a client that installed CS6 Productiom Premium with a volume license on multiple Mac Pros and is saying that Illustrator hangs upon launch, meaning, it will take 1-2 minutes to launch the program. Out of all the computers he has installed the software with, one does not have an issue with start-up and launches almost immediately. He is currently looking on his end what is different on that machine compared to the others.
But what I need help with is suggesting to him what else can he try to rectify the hang-up issue? I have walked him through the steps in deleting his Font cache and resetting his preferences and he still reports a hang-up on launch.
Does any one have any other suggestions? He has Mac Pros with Lion on them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

CS6 PC, AME keeps hanging. 3 dif. projects on 2 dif. computers

CS6 PC, AME keeps hanging. 3 dif. projects on 2 dif. computer. Cant output from mpg2 files to mpg2-dvd ntsc. Can't "match seq settings" in ame also.-hangs at dif points each time.
Too much to get into right now as i am wayyyy behind now.
Are there any known issues with ame cs6?

Well, you posted in http://forums.adobe.com/message/4407577 on May 14 so it would seem that you know that AME has been updated

AME CS6 painfully slow loading large quantities of clips.

I'm using AME CS6 to transcode clips to prepare clips for delivery to a client that will only accept OP1a MXF's. I have hundreds of clips to transcode and AME CS6 is unbearably slow loading them. Usually I set up a watch folder but in this case I have two batches to run, one with about 750 individual clips and one with about 450. Using watch folders just completely brought AME to it's knees trying to transcode a file while updating the queue. I've just spent two hours loading the clips into AME by dragging/dropping them into the queue (that time includes time spent waiting while AME hangs while trying to change the codec/output setting).
Earlier versions of AME were no where near as slow as this. Even just scrolling up/down the queue that used to be fluid is now a click, wait, update..click, wait update process. I could have copied the files from drive to drive in less time than this took to load/index. Is there anything that can be done to speed up this process?

lasvideo, thanks but that's not the same problem I am having. Appreciate you chiming in though!
Stephen, thanks for writing. It's a pretty massive project and because clips often criss-cross between segments I have been working everything inside the same edit. I also wanted to see just how hard I could push Premiere (I've been using Premiere for 7 years now). Mind you once everything loads it still does just fine. Edits like a champ. Just was a bit frustrating with the load time.
On #1, I don't have time machine set-up anymore as I ate up all my space.
On #2 this is an interesting suggestion. I'm letting project manager analyze my project right now. I've never used project manager to break off individual edits so this should be interesting. Yes, just me on one machine. I'm shooting and editing at the same time and also doing graphics so I reckon by December. I have two full backups of all footage and edit files and save to a new edit file every couple of days (plus I have auto-save rolling).
And for whatever reason, today when I opened a different project and then went back to the large project, suddenly the problem dissappeared. Weird but there it is. All 20,000 clips now load again under 4 minutes.
Thanks for the assistance.
Best, Dare

Photoshop CS6 hanging

I am running Mountain Lion on my late 2009 iMac. Every time i launch Photoshop CS6, it hangs. I have resolved all font issues.
Please help.

Try clearing your preferences to defaults by pressing and holding Command - Shift - Option immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you get the keys down quickly enough, it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your current preferences.

Firefox hangs upon startup

When I try to start firefox it does nothing. Via CLI it does the same - nothing. It just sits there and appears to be hung up. No pid, nada.
Deleted ~/.mozilla and tried to run firefox -profilemanager. Same thing, just hangs.
Tried to run firefox -v just to see if it return the version -no joy. Hangs.
no locks present and did a killall firefox before each attempt.
Uninstalled via yum and reinstalled via yum. Same.
Is there a log file I can view to try to determine whats hanging upon startup?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
<b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

Using OSX 10.8 DW CS6 when I click "live" it says "flash plugin" "not found".

Using DW CS6 when I click "live" it says "Flash Plugin was not found. To view Flash content in Live View install the Firefox Flash Plugin from www.adobe.com."
My default browser is Chrome. DW uses Chrome as the primary browser. (FFox is secondary.)
I do have Firefox and do not have Flash on it. I open Flash content Chrome, and I installed an HTML5 video viewer add-on in FFox (but haven't tried it yet).
I also have the Dreamweaver HTML5 Video View add-on, so why am I getting that message? Furthermore, the HTML code doesn't have any Flash objects. (The code is the source HTML from www.google.com page, without any changes.)
How do I make DW display the "Live" view of the code without giving me an error? (My end goal is to find out what google does when you enter something in the search box and hit the Enter key, actually, I'd like to see why the result of the search is displayed the way it is - default should be Web view, but Image view shows instead. I want Web to show!)

"Why would anybody paste Google's source code into their own web page?" To learn from it.
I'm sorry Phil, but you can't learn much from Google's source code because search engines are dynamically programed with behind-the-scenes code and content from databases that you can't see. You're just spinning your wheels here. If you want to learn how to make a search engine, I'd be happy to point you to some relevant PHP & MySql tutorials.
The issue still remains that DW is giving me the error (flash plugin not found)
When DW starts acting weird, the first thing to try is Deleting Corrupted Cache in DW

Photoshop Elements 13 running in Windows 8.1 hangs immediately after starting

Photoshop Elements 13 running in Windows 8.1 hangs immediately after starting. Has to be shut down by Task Manger. Task Manger shows that it is still using some CPU. Ran Procmon (part of Sysinternals) which shows that it is in a loop. Stack trace shows it is executing code in AMTValidateProductLicense.dll. Started happening about a month after I installed PSE. Everything used to work fine at first. Have tried going back to an old image of Win 8.1 on a different hard drive, otherwise same computer, and installed PSE 13 from DVD. That installation never worked, it aways hangs. If I do a clean boot, it sometimes runs long enough for me to click on a menu item and then hangs the same way. And, yes I bought a new DVD to run on this computer, never been used in any other way. Any ideas how I can get PSE running properly?

It really doesn't look like a licensing issue, it seems to be code in the area of license validation that isn't working.
I took your suggestion and initiated a couple of chat sessions with support, but so far still no luck. The latest session with Neeraj seemed to be promising. After some investigation he asked to reinstall. First he uninstalled with Revo Uninstall, which seemed to be pretty thorough. That required a restart, so he set things up to restore his conference session and took my phone number. Unfortunately I guess his connection didn't come back. When I didn't hear from him after a couple of hours I tried installing Photoshop and Premiere myself. As before, Premiere works and Photoshop doesn't. When I start Photoshop, the window opens and for a couple of seconds menus open when I click on them. Then the window freezes and I have to use Task Manager to kill it. So basically, I've tried several things but I'm back where I've been all along, I can't get Photoshop to work. I'd really appreciate suggestions about something else to try.
I wish someone at Adobe was interested in the Process Monitor traces I've made, because I'm sure someone who knows the code would be able to figure out pretty quickly what's happening. Is it trying to read a file that's not there, failing to write a file, failing to make an internet connection or what? It really shouldn't be this hard to figure out.

Photoshop CS6 freezes upon opening

Running CS6 64-bit on a Windows 7 machine. Everything is updated, and it was working fine yesterday and every day before for the 2 months we've been running it on this machine. New today:
Open Photoshop and it opens the window but you can't click anything. It's like a pretty image file of what your PS experience would look like. Can't close it because even the little red X doesn't register as anything. Have to force quit from Task Manager. Restarted the system (full shut down, pause, start, not just a system restart).
Deleted the Preferences file and restarted the system. That kind of helped. Now we can open and click around for about 25 seconds. That's enough time to change my performance preferences and close the program before it freezes. So I did that and restarted the system. No change. I can also open the "open file" dialogue, but the second that opens, everything freezes back into that pretty picture of what it would look like if I were to be using PS.
Nothing else on the system freezes while PS is frozen. I can do webby stuff and work in other Adobe programs, check my email, dig around in my explorer, pretty much anything I want as long as it isn't PS.
Exception: If I open Bridge, I can use it just fine until I try to open a file from Bridge in Photoshop. Then both programs freeze until I force quit PS. After that, Bridge is happy again. If I try to use Bridge to run a PS process, I get the message window that PS is currently running another process, would I like to queue this one. No matter what I hit, everything gets angry until I force quit Photoshop.
I spoke to a nice man on the customer service line who was very good at reading suggestions like delete preferences or completely reinstall the suite from his list of fixes, but didn't seem to understand at all what I was asking him. So I turn to you, oh forum of knowledge. Anyone know how to fix this? We've reinstalled video drivers. We're currently trying running a repair off the Windows OS disk.
We would like to not have to uninstall and reinstall the whole suite. Everything else works great. AE is happy, Illustrator is happy, Bridge is happy so long as we don't make it talk to PS. If there's a way to just reinstall or run a repair on PS without affecting the rest of the suite, that would be an option too.
