    Hussein,
    Checked the last 2 notes and the patch we already applied and other one is for R12.
    Yet to check the first note in detail.....
    Meanwhile i see a bug 8945245 which has the same issue as we have and it seems to be fixed, but not able to get any details from that bug. Any idea on what would be the fix mentioned in the bug.....

  • DOES THE STAGED APPL_TOP APPROACH CAN BE USED TO APPLY ATG RUP 6

    All,
    We are planning to upgrade technology stack from ATG RUP 2(11.5.10 CU2) to ATG RUP 6
    With our complex apps env. with staged APPL_TOP approach the downtime requirement will be reduced to half.
    i, Now the issue is that :
    Metalink Note:242480.1 stats that :
    " AD level of your Staged and Production Applications system must be identical and The Staged APPL_TOP approach cannot be used to apply AD mini-packs"
    i.e
    Section 2: Prerequisites
    4. Apply prerequisite patch 3285255
    This patch provides the adphmigr.pl utility used in Section 5.
    Note
    The AD level of your Staged and Production Applications system must be identical. This is
    required to successfully export and import patch history information. The Staged APPL_TOP approach
    cannot be used to apply AD mini-packs or the new products patch associated with a Maintenance Pack
    (such as 2644311).
    Now in prod as we said we don't have ATG RUP6
    13:31:48 CRP01a> select bug_number from ad_bugs
    13:32:25 2 where bug_number in ('4712847' ,'5161676','5161680','4229931','4605654');
    BUG_NUMBER
    4229931 ====> Post AD.I..1 Consolidated 07/27/05
    And in dev instance where we followed normal procedure for applying ATG-RUP6 , we have
    SQL> select bug_number from ad_bugs
    2 where bug_number in ('4712847' ,'5161676','5161680','4229931','4605654');
    BUG_NUMBER
    4229931
    4605654
    5161676
    5161680 ==> PATCHSET 11I.AD.I.DELTA.5
    As you can see patchset levels are 11i.AD.I before & after ATG RUP6 upgrade.
    And in the note when it was mentioned
    "The AD level of your Staged and Production Applications system must be identical. "
    Finally my the question is that : Do they mean AD PATCHSET level or the consolidated / DELTAS released on top of AD.I ?
    Any help is appricated.
    Thanks,
    Sashi.
    901-674-1290

    Staged APPL_TOP can be used to apply maintenance packs, so ideally you should be able to use it to apply ATG RUP 6. For the AD minipack, you should apply patch (5161676) - 11i.AD.I.5 as a pre-req. patch before you apply ATG RUP 6.

  • About ATG RUP 7 Restore

    Hi all,
    EBS 11.5.10.2, DB 9.2.0.8 on AIX 5.3.
    Last weekend I applied ATG RUP 7 with all its prerequisites and patches mentioned in known issues. Currently we have a very serious problem which is affecting us very badly. All of our pdf reports give signal 4 error. I have logged an SR and consulted for DBA help but we are not nearing any solution. Since weekend so much thing has changed in database, so my question is can I return from backup of ONLY APPLICATIONS I took before I began any prerequisites of ATG 7? The database won't be restored, only applications. I know this is a weird question but we are very desperate right now.
    The answer is probably NO since I think tables and data are affected by patches, but anyway I need to hear it. Also how long and hard would it be to revert all those patches to the beginning or until the error stops?
    Thanks

    Last weekend I applied ATG RUP 7 with all its prerequisites and patches mentioned in known issues. Currently we have a very serious problem which is affecting us very badly.

The database won't be restored, only applications. I know this is a weird question but we are very desperate right now. Please post more details about the issue. Is it with custom or seeded concurrent programs? What is the type of the reports that fail to run (text, postscript, pdf, xml, ..etc)?
    What is the complete error message? Please post the concurrent request log file here.
    Can you find any errors in the CM/Database log files?
    Do you have any invalid objects in the database?
    Have you relinked all the executable files via adadmin?
    Have you applied all the patches in (Known Issues On Top of 11i.ATG_PF.H.delta.7 (RUP7) - 6241631 [ID 858801.1]) after applying ATG RUP7?
    The answer is probably NO since I think tables and data are affected by patches, but anyway I need to hear it. Also how long and hard would it be to revert all those patches to the beginning or until the error stops?As you already know the answer, this is not supported as your application patch level will not match the database patch level. There is also no supported way to rollback the application patches except restoring ALL the database/application files from the backup which was taken before you applied those patches.

  • Failed Hardware Scan and other issues E440

    Hi all,
    This is probably more rant than anything, but I wanted to give a heads up to others too.
    I have a ThinkPad E440 that is a year old. From the very first time I turned it on, there have been issues. The first hardware scan (via Lenovo Solution Center - LSC) showed a warning for the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 Local Connection Test. There were also tons of System Events that always show up in the "Configuration History" part of the LSC. You can look at the calendar and tell exactly which days I used the computer because there will be System Events generated each day. Things like app crashes and failed drivers.
    In July 2014, I got the first warning for the 16 GB SSD - the SMART Short Self-Test. By February this year it showed as failed for each hardware scan (these were initially set up to run monthly).
    Also the whole time I've had it the touch screen would just stop working at some point and I would have to reboot to get it working again.
    I finally called Lenovo on March 30th, before my warranty expired. When I called that time, I didn't realize the hard drive failure was the SSD. So they sent me a new 500 GB drive. I also added the other things into the case when I talked to them. For the wireless issue they suggested making sure the driver was up to date. I did this and let them know when I called back that it was up to date and still having the warning. So I called them to tell them to tell them about the wireless and also that I realized it was the SSD having the failure, not the main drive. The first case had already been closed even though none of the other items were addressed.
    So they opened another case (this is #2). They said to mail them the laptop since the wireless issue would probably be on the board and it wasn't something I could fix myself. They sent a box with a prepaid overnight shipping label. I was very sick for a few days so I sent it back to them on April 10th (a Friday). Via UPS I saw it was delivered on Saturday. Work was performed on it Monday, April 13th and sent back to me that very day. I received it on April 14th. This part of the service has been excellent - very fast response.
    Being in IT, I included a letter with the laptop that outlined the issues that should have been in the case. I also printed the hardware scans and what the system events looked like.
    When I got the laptop back, the sheet inside said they had replaced the Speaker because of Distorted Sound. This was not even on the list even though I had noticed it. I didn't even power up the laptop before calling them again - yes, I was furious! Plus our power was out...
    So this was noon on the 14th. They opened case #3 and sent me ANOTHER BOX so I could send it back.
    After our power came back on the 15th, I powered up my laptop. I opened the browser (I have it set to restore the previous session) and there was a sexually explicit video on YouTube. I opened the other browser and there was a different video on YouTube. So this person was watching YouTube instead of fixing my laptop. I looked through both browser histories and there was quite a bit of activity while my laptop was at the repair center... I ran the hardware scan - still failed and a warning for the wireless. They really hadn't done anything.
    I also found two pictures of the repair person in the recycle bin...
    So I called back. I was LIVID! They opened another case (this is #4). And sent me ANOTHER BOX. I finally learned the other day that once a case is opened, it cannot be edited or added to at all. Instead, they close the other case and open a new one. I guess their turnaround time for closing cases is excellent! I've never seen a system like that - and I've used a lot of them.
    I got a really nice, patient fellow on the line. He took all my info (again). I emailed him the pictures, screen captures of the YouTube videos, the letter I had sent - everything. He entered as much into the new case as he could - he talked to one of the supervisors to make sure he did it right. Somehow he flagged it so that the laptop would get more attention (time) at the repair facility. He also opened a separate case (an escalation ticket?) for a supervisor to call me regarding the person's conduct at the repair facility. He said they would call me that day. (It's now the 25th and I've never heard from anyone)
    So, he sent me ANOTHER BOX. I've built up quite a stack of them.
    Our power was out AGAIN from the 17th through the 19th (don't get me started).
    I noticed a hardware scan had now gotten a failure on the main hard drive. So I called them on the 21st to add this to the case before sending the laptop back. The girl said they can't add anything to an existing case or edit it at all once it's opened. She would have to open a new case and SEND ME ANOTHER BOX. I told her to forget it because I was ready to send it in and didn't want to wait for another box. I also asked for a status on that "escalation case" where the supervisor was supposed to call me. In order to do this she, yes, wait for it, had to open ANOTHER CASE!! So they would know I wanted a status. I'm completely dumbfounded.
    So I sent it back on the 21st. This time I practically wiped it. I had already removed all my files the last time, but I had left my bookmarks and browser history intact.  I set up a guest logon with admin privileges. I updated my letter and printed off more stuff to include with the box. On one sheet I had only the case number, the serial number and machine type. On another sheet I had "DO NOT SEPARATE THIS PAPERWORK FROM THE LAPTOP" and the case number. I put this sheet on top (The guy on the 15th said my letter and stuff may have gotten separated from the laptop once it was delivered to the repair facility). I used a ton of staples so it would all stay together. I included in my letter the failure on the main hard drive and asked if they could look at it. I wrote about having to open a new case if I wanted to include it.
    They received it on the 22nd. A nice gentleman from the repair facility called me that day asking about the password. that. was. written. on the sheet they have you fill out. I told him what happened last time and also mentioned the hard drive failure and asked if he could look into it. He said they would.
    I received my laptop back yesterday morning.The sheet that came with it said they had "replaced the following parts to complete the repair of your laptop."
    Part Description                                           Symptom
    IMAGE                                                             Replaced due to engineering change
    System board                                                 Network card error
    Hard disk drive                                                Network card error
    ECA-WIRELESS                                            <no symptom listed>
    There was also a sheet saying they had installed a factory preload of software and I needed to install Lenovo and Windows updates.
    When I booted it up, the first thing I noticed, in the lower right corner was:
    Windows 8.1
    SecureBoot isn’t configured correctly
    Build 9600
    I ran a hardware scan. Well, I tried. It stopped part way through and said it finished successfully but most of the tasks showed up as cancelled. I tried to run it again - issues - rebooting ensued. It said the LSC wasn’t available and that I should try again or reboot.
    Tried several times. Then got what I guess is the new BSOD - kinder, gentler:
    Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We're just
    collecting some error info, and then we'll restart for you. (xx% complete)
    If you'd like to know more, you can search online later for this error: DRIVER_CORRUPTED_EXPOOL
    Even though the LSC said my Lenovo files were all up to date, I ran the Update. And first I had to download a new version of Update. Then I downloaded all of the Lenovo updates and installed them (there were quite a few). The BIOS update failed. While I was doing the Lenovo downloads, I got a light blue screen but no text (I was out of the room so I'm not sure what happened). Did CTRL-ALT-DEL and it shows only IE and Task Manager as applications that are running. Could not “Switch to” IE. Hitting window key to go to start didn't do anything. So I had to restart.
    By 3pm yesterday there were 34 system events in the configuration history.
    I ran the hardware scan again after I updated the Lenovo files, and you guessed it! Failure on the SSD (SMART Short Self-Test) and warning on the wireless. Nothing had changed. Except hardware scan is acting different than it did before I sent in the laptop for repairs. When it finishes, it instantly closes and just shows 100% complete. When I click on "see last results" it shows a screen called
    Log Information,
    Canceled 04/24/2015 n:nn pm 
    You have not done a hardware test on your computer
    And the calendar in LSC only shows the very first hardware scan I did on Friday. Even the hardware scan screen shows the date and time of the last scan. It also shows the error code. In order to see exactly what is failing, I have to sit there and watch it very closely and snap a picture of the screen as soon as the error (or warning) shows up.
    When I would try to run Windows update, it would hang up PC Settings. I couldn't even kill it using task manager because it didn't show up as a task. During this, I got a flag saying the firewall wasn't turned on. I tried to turn it on, but clicking on Turn on Windows Firewall didn't do anything. I tried to setup my Microsoft account but that just hung too.
    I ended up running Windows Update FOUR TIMES to get all the updates installed. Every time I ran it, it said "Done!" and I would run it again and more would show up. The last time was this morning.
    At some point, the error about SecureBoot went away.
    Then, I created a bootable BIOS update disk. Following the ReadMe instructions, I went through ThinkPad Setup and verified several values. Of note:
    Secure Boot was DISABLED. According to the ReadMe file, this should be ENABLED in Windows 8.1. I enabled it.
    Under Startup/Boot, according to the ReadMe that came with the BIOS update, UEFI/Legacy Boot is supposed to be set at UEFI Only for Windows 8.1. Mine was set to "Both". I changed it.
    In Startup, OS Optimized Defaults was DISABLED, even though it says right there (and in the BIOS update ReadMe) it should be ENABLED to meet Microsoft Windows 8 Certification Requirement.
    After these updates, I flashed the new BIOS.
    Then, I ran hardware scan again...
    Now I have TWO failures on the SSD: Random Seek Test and SMART Short Self-Test. Great.
    In the Event Viewer (that I recently discovered), it says my disk has a bad block. It just says The device, \Device\Harddisk\DR1, has a bad block. I assume this is the SSD...
    There are 867 events in the event viewer - Critical, Error, and Warning...
    Fifty-two of these are from October 7, 2013 - before my little laptop was a glimmer.
    The rest are from when Lenovo had it and yesterday and today.
    64 of them are the disk error.
    341 are from DeviceSetupManager. 65 of those are from failed driver installs. 69 are for not being able to establish a connection to the windows update service. 64 are from not being able to establish a connection to the Windows Metadata and Internet Services (WMIS).
    3 times it's rebooted without cleanly shutting down
    60 of them are from Service Control Manager and say The TDKLIB service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified.
    One of them says {Registry Hive Recovered} Registry hive (file): '\??\C:\Users\Default\NTUSER.DAT' was corrupted and it has been recovered. Some data might have been lost.
    16 are warnings that various processors in Group 0 are being limited by system firmware.
    12 say the certificate for local system with thumbprint <bunch of hex numbers> is about to expire or already expired.
    108 are warnings for failure to load the driver \Driver\WUDFRd for various devices
    16 are application errors
    One is for the computer rebooting from a "bug check"
    15 are for name resolutions timing out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.
    10 are for SecureBoot being disabled.
    14 for services terminating unexpectedly
    15 are for WLAN Extensibility Module has stopped
    61 are for applications not being able to be restarted because the application SID does not match Conductor SID
    12 are for activation of CLSID timing out waiting for the service wuauserv to stop
    So, I'll call them on Monday and open. a. new. case (#5?) - but really 7. And get A NEW BOX.
    I'll keep you updated!

  • My hard drive failed and during the setup of Illustrator CS4 on my new hard drive/pc, I was told I had reached the maximum number of licenses

    My hard drive failed and during the setup of Illustrator CS4 on my new hard drive/pc, I was told that the maximum # of licenses for my serial number had been reached and so I am unable to install Illustrator on my working computer.  This happened a couple of years ago and I called Adobe and they were able to 'reset' things but I don't see any way to talk to someone now to resolve this problem.  BTW, I have the failed hard drive slaved in my new computer and am able to access files and such things, but have no way of uninstalling the Illustrator on my old drive.  How do I fix this issue?

    Contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations.

  • Email and Contact Issues

    My emails are not coming through to my phone unless I manually refresh. I have three accounts setup (Yahoo! and 2 school email accounts). Both school accounts, when I sign on from a computer says something about Outlook: one says Mircosoft outlook and the other says Outlook live.
    I contacted my school and got the correct settings for each account. They work because I get the emails as long as I manually refresh. I initially had my phone set to check for mail every hour but after realizing it was not automatically doing this, I set it for every five minutes. That still didn't help.
    Out of frustration, I called Verizon who told me they knew nothing about such an issue. They connected me to Samsung who said the same thing. Apparently they were both lying as I have Googled this issue and see that it has been posted since Sept 2010. I just have not noticed a solution (possibly overlooking it).
    The solution that they gave me was so a hard reset (didn't work), delete then re-add the accounts (didn't work) or use a workaround. My response to their last suggestion was that I did not feel it was necessary for me to do that when the phone I purchased was supposed to handle email. This has been an issue since I got the phone in Nov 2010 when I switched to VZ. I didn't really notice it until this month because I was having text messaging issues which they didn't fix until this month.
    Samsung ended up telling me to send them my phone and they would troubleshoot it but I had to contact VZ about getting a loaner phone as they were going to have it for a week. When I called VZ back, they told me they would just send me a replacement phone and to not send the phone to Samsung because they could have given me a defective phone. The order wasn't placed because their system was down that Friday and the guy was supposed to call me back. He never did so I called VZ a third time.
    The tech support rep told me that she was positive that if I got a brand new phone I would still have the same problem because its a known issue that Samsung has yet to fix. Also she had the same phone and also some other people she worked with. She told me to make sure I deleted junk mail, sent stuff, kept the inbox down, and empty the trash and that should help. She was supposed to call me back and see if it helped (which it didn't). She never called back....that was Monday and today is Friday.
    Now I'm feeling like they are lying to me because they don't want to replace my device. Then on top of that they told me it would more than likely be a refurbished device instead of a brand new device even though I still have a warranty. Should I push for a new phone or is this really a known issue with Samsung that they have yet to fix? If it is a Samsung issue, what's the workaround until they actually fix it?
    By the way, Gmail works almost instantaneously. They told me to forward all of my mail there but that didn't work for my two school accounts. I don't like that anyway.
    As for the contact issues, I just noticed two weeks ago that my Facebook and Twitter contacts are unsyncing themselves. I don't have all of my Facebook friends or Twitter followers in my phonebook but those whose phone numbers I have, are linked to their Facebook and or Twitter accounts but I notice that both of these accounts unlink themselves. I have no idea why this happens. I keep having to go back into my phonebook and relink about 30 people to their Facebook and or Twitter profiles. Any idea why?

    In your email app, have you tried going into each account, pressing the menu button, account settings, and setting email check frequency to the desired time?
    If that's not the issue, then perhaps pressing the menu button at the home screen, going into settings, accounts and sync, and clicking the background data option is the issue.
    The reason why Gmail works well is that instead of polling (which is what the email app uses, where it queries the account to see if there's anything new), it pushes your email through meaning that it's virtually instantaneous.
    With regards to the Twitter and Facebook issue, try going into the accounts and sync area that I mentioned before.  There, you will be able to set the SNS sync interval and sync the contacts, birthdays, and whatever else it allows.  You'll probably have to click on each of those accounts to check various options before it will autosync.
    My frequency is set to every 5 mins. That hasn't worked. 
    The background data sync option is clicked already.
    The Twitter and Facebook SNS syncing is set. I have noticed though that sometimes when I go in there, the sync arrow is red by Twitter and Facebook. I uncheck the box and recheck it and then it turns green again. What I don't know is why it randomly turns red in the first place. I'm assuming this is the reason the Facebook and Twitter stuff unsyncs itself. 

  • Multi-Lang support and slides issue

    First, is anyone here using slides-based Flash documents at
    all? Whenever I post my (IMHO well-researched) questions/reports,
    like the one linked to below, I never get an answer. By now I'm
    ready to give up completely on slide-based documents and ready to
    convert it all to "flat" Flash docs, but I'm just curious why the
    numerous horrible bugs in slides get no response, did everyone else
    but me know not to use them???
    (older problem, actually more a report because there is no
    solution, it's clearly a bug IMHO:
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=15&catid=288&threadid =1255720&enterthread=y)
    Anyway, I found a new issue, which, like last time, I first
    successfully and easily recreated using a fresh (slide-based)
    document to make sure my AS code isn't interferring.
    Doing the same experiment with bot a "normal" Flash document
    and with a slide-based one, I created a dynamic text field and
    followed (Macromedia/Adobe) instructions to setup multi-language
    support (en,de) for the text field, using the Strings dialogue.
    It all worked as it should in the regular Flash doc, but
    nothing worked in the slide-based one. Right now I'm trying to see
    if I can still get it to work using the Locale class and AS code,
    but that doesn't seem to work either.
    Again, by now I've pretty much decided to abandon slide-based
    layout because of the bugs and the non-existing feedback, I'm only
    curious if I was the only one who ever even tried slides...(?)

    this should work. One thing to keep in mind is that Swing components have fonts set on them, so if the font you are using doesn't contain the characters, then you get garbage sometimes (I see this with japanese characters when they pump into an app I'm currently writing, even though I know I got the right character codes out of the email).
    Try base64 encoding the content before it is sent and save it (the base64) to a text file (Don't send the base64 text, send the actual content). Then base64 encode the content when it is recieved and compare it to the stored file (without the whole displaying thing). If they match, your issue isn't javamail, it is probably swing, or you aren't setting the character encodings correctly. If they don't match, javamail.
    Just taking bets I would say the two will match and your issue is simply the swing font thing.

  • Can I create a custom location for Premiere and AME presets?

    Our institution has volatile user accounts meaning that all user specific preferences, presets and files are deleted on log off.
    However I would like to make some custom Premiere sequence presets and AME export presets available to all users by default.
    Can anyone suggest a way to store these presets in a non-user specific location and still have Premiere and AME locate them?
    Alternatively if anyone can suggest a way of packaging up these presets and copying them into the appropriate user locations on logon that would also be of interest!?
    Any suggestions appreciated (some further details and system spec below)...
    thanks,
    Darryl
    Typical location of presets as far as Im aware:
    Users/[USER]/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/6.0/Settings/Custom/
    Users/[USER]/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Common/AME/6.0/Presets
    Premiere Pro CS6
    AME CS6
    iMacs with 10.8.4 (2.7 Core i5 8GB)
    (Also looking for Windows 7 solution for same issue)

  • Windows 8.1 Audio and Video issues

    I recently updated Windows 8 to 8.1 on my 2012 MacBook Pro and it now appers that Headphone/Line In have stopped working.
    This only occurs in Windows mode, when running in OS X Mavericks the issue does not occur so I am assuming that it is a driver related issue rather than hardware.
    I also have an issue with dual monitor setup, if I attempt to change the resolution or go from Dual to Single then back again, it fails to locate the second monitor again.  Once again, this all worked with no issue before the 8.1 update and no issue occurs while running OS X.
    Has anyone else experienced these issues and/or know how to resolve them?
    I have gone through device manager and it indicates that all drivers are up to date.

    i too have the same issue.  I did a fresh Bootcamp install of Windows 8.1 64-bit on my mid 2011 iMac and my built in audio and headphones have stopped working on the Windows side.  OSX Maveriks is ok. 
    i also went to the device manager and all of my audio drivers are up to date...still no sound.
    i have uninstalled and reinstalled all audio drivers, disabled then enabled them several times...still no sound.
    i have unistalled the graphics driver (i read somewhere else that there was an issue with it)...but still no sound.
    can someone help us out?
    NOTE: i have a usb audio dongle that works on windows.  but it only controls my headphones.  when i plug in the headphones into the built in audio jack on the iMac it doesnt work.

  • Audio and speakers issues with the new iTunes 7

    Hi,
    I also have an audio problem after installing the new iTunes 7. It seems after iTunes have finished "determining the gapback playback information", all audio from iTunes and Quicktime only comes through my two front speakers. I have a 5.1 setup for my computer and it seems is only a iTunes and Quicktime issue since Windows media plays the audio just fine. Anybody know what the issue could be? I'm on Windows XP by the way.
    I have checked my speaker setup and sound card and this problem does not occur in Windows media or any other media software. It seems that it only occurs with iTunes and Quicktime.

    Yet another person with the exact same problem, with the same sound card. Everything is up-to-date. I've tried all of the other "fixes" but its either done nothing, or given me use of my rear speakers but added an awful awful ear shattering static. I've tried everything. I even stood on one foot.
    Furthermore, my EAX options do not work with iTunes 7 either, though they work with the older versions. I can't even adjust the speaker balance (front to rear, right to left). This is an isolated problem, only with the new iTunes and QuickTime. Everything else on my computer works just dandy, and cooperates with my speakers (5.1 surround) and my EAX settings.
    Edited because I said video card, not sound card.. I'm tired, been trying to fix this for an hour.

  • PPro and AME crashes...all the time. When you start them up, when you work, when you export, ever since I downloaded the updates last week.

    I've been trying to edit and export timelapses I've shot in July. It's been an uphill battle since then.
    First Lr gave me mountains of issues (seems to be doing ok now) and now Ppro and AMe is doing the same. Since I've downloaded the update last week they have both just stopped working. AME doesn't even want to start up anymore. Ppro starts ok but won't export anything anymore. The is one older project that I've finished before the update. That exports fine. But any new project I've created since refuses. I'm dropping the images into a 4k sequence, the dropping the 4k sequence into a 1080 sequence so I can ad some movement. Bet even if I take the images directly to the 1080 sequence it crashes the moment I hit export.
    The timeline on this project is KILLING me! It's not supposed to take this long.
    Please help!

    Sorry to hear that. I'll raise the issue with my superiors a bit later this today. I have heard our chat software is disconnecting randomly in some cases. We are updating that system, but I can find out more later.

    I am responsible for handling this forum and other products in the digital video realm. Because of the volume, it is not possible to answer every post. We do rely on the community to help out for posts like this, but some of them simply get by us. Yours was especially neglected and I apologize for that. Our forums are very good most of the time, but for a guaranteed response, you were doing the right thing by contacting support. The fact that both the forum and support failed you is very troubling and I'll see to it that you get the help you need. Since chat is not working for you, try the phone. Once connected, ask for the "video queue" so that you will be routed to the appropriate support team immediately.

    I have restarted, reinstalled, tried to re-write the preference file, 8 new project file, re-exported all the images and could manage all but 3 time-lapses. They simply will not export. Not in ANY format from Pr CC 2014 nor via AME.
    You may want to trash preferences for both Premiere Pro and AME. See the instructions below. I will also include troubleshooting steps I have been giving users. These steps may help you, as well.
    Try the following:
    Quit Premiere Pro, then reboot the computer. Launch Premiere Pro once more
    Sign out from Creative Cloud, restart Premiere Pro, then sign in
    Update any GPU drivers
    Trash preferences
    Ensure Adobe folder preferences are set to read/write in all 3 locations.
    Delete media cache
    Delete preview files: usually located here: Documents > Adobe > Premiere Pro > 8.0 > Adobe Premiere Pro Preview Files > [Your Project]Delete the preview files in this folder by dragging them to the Trash.
    Remove plug-ins
    If you have AMD GPUs, make sure CUDA is not installed
    Repair permissions
    In Sequence Settings > Video Previews, change the codec to one that matches your footage
    Disconnect any third party hardware
    If you have a CUDA GPU, ensure that the Mercury Playback Engine is set to CUDA, not OpenCL
    Disable App Nap
    Reboot once more
