Audition CS6 does not exit properly on OSX Maverick - how to resolve?

Hi -
I run Audition CS6 on OSX Maverick (10.9.5).
However, whenever I finish a job and exit the application, whenever I bring up a terminal I see the following processes permanently in the process table:
501   692   164   0  4:13pm ??         0:21.76 /Applications/Adobe Audition CS6/Adobe Audition CS6.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Audition CS6
501   694   692   0  4:13pm ??         0:00.32 /Applications/Adobe Audition CS6/Adobe Audition CS6.app/Contents/Frameworks/AdobeCrashReporter.framework/Required/AdobeCrashDaemon.app/Co ntents/MacOS/AdobeCrashDaemon 692 Adobe Audition CS6 5.0 /Applications/Adobe Audition CS6/Adobe Audition CS6.app/Contents/Resources/appIcon.icns /Applications/Adobe Audition CS6/Adobe Audition CS6.app/Contents/Frameworks/AdobeCrashReporter.framework/Required/Adobe Crash Reporter.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Crash Reporter 0      
501   695   692   0  4:13pm ??         0:00.00 (adobe_licutil)
The application seems not to be exiting properly.
Is there a fix for this?
Note that all other applications run well on this high spec MacBook Pro (early 2011, 17", Quad iCore7 2.3GHx, 16GB RAM, 512 GB SSD).
I do not wish to go the Cloud model - so upgrading to CC is not an option.
Thanks,
Kevin Nolan.

Thanks for replying.
I've looked in the User Diagnostics but there are absolutely no entries of any kind - it's empty. The System Diagnostics Reports likewise contain no Adobe entries.
But note - this is not a crash. I manually exit from the application and it appears to exit (as in the GUI shuts down) - but - the application just continues to run and can be seen in the process table (via ps -ef in a Terminal). Subsequently, I cannot rerun it - if I click on the app Icon it does not bring up a new GUI. I need to reboot the machine before I can restart the application /GUI.
This is repeatable and has been a long standing issue for me - including with OSX 10.8 so it's not a Maverick specific issue. I'm surprised I did not see a plethora of other posts on this issue when I finally decided to look for a solution today. I can only assure you there is absolutely nothing out of the ordinary with my Mac, or the installation of Audition CS6 - I'm a long standing user (since 1.0 on PC) so I am quite familiar with the install routines. My Mac has the latest version of Maverick, but as mentioned in my first post, everything else I run - Protools, Logic and a plethora of plugins all run without issue.
Unfortunately I have no diagnostics to send you; but please let me know if there is anything else I can do to provide further clarity.
Thanks most sincerely for your time and reply.
Regards,
Kevin.

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you mean by not working properly? Explain in detail.

  • File Export menu in CS6 does not work properly?

    Two main issues:
    1. If I downsample a 96kHz audio file to 44k1 for example I have the option to impose an anti-alias low-pass brickwall filter in the export path or not. This is a good idea. However as implemented in the Audition CS6 system we have, Adobe has the tick-box configured incorrectly. With the box ticked the filter is switched out, and with the box unticked the filter is switched in. This should be debugged and fixed. It makes me worry that other configurations might be wrong.
    2. The defaults for the implementation of dither in the export of a file are inconsistent. The default should be that whenever audio data are changed by any processing, dither is applied in the exported file. This is inconsistent in Audition CS6 on our system and we have to go through all the setup for each export.

    Thanks Steve.
    I agree about the quality of Audition's sample-rate conversion. It is very good indeed and one reason we bought Audition. I also agree about the perverse logic of Audition having a tick in the box to turn the low-pass filter off, rather than on. This is is counter-intuitive, even if the excuse is that it is how it has always been historically in Audition or maybe even CoolEdit (which I have never used). Maybe Adobe could consider retitling this function so the logic is more obvious to newcomers. The riddle of how to combine requirements for 96k/24 high-res masters for one market with the needs for 44k1/16 delivery for CD, downloads and streamers remains a riddle if we are not to make our 44k1/16 masters (the main market) sound inferior to having made them 88k2 or 44k1 originally.
    As for dither. My experience has been that one stage of unintended truncation does typically approximately five to ten times as much damage (irreparably) to a clean recording as does one stage of unintended dithering. I am only talking about default settings which can or should be easily overridden either in 'settings' or 'preferences' somewhere within Audition, or overridden on any single or multiple instance of exporting. The mathematics are against you on this one. If you have a 96k/24 original file and want to export a straight 96k16 file or 44k1/24 or 44k1/16 version, for me dither is obligatory. The same if you are exporting a 96k/24 file after processing. Whatever happens next. If you are exporting 96k/32 then maybe, I stress maybe, no dither is ok. Otherwise you get truncation errors, with a shower of unwanted side-effects and squeaks. That is one problem with digits rather than analogue. With digits you don't get extra random relatively benign noise with repeated undithered generations of copying, processing, transfers. The artefacts are much better described as errors and they are a shower of correlated noises. They are programme related, clock related or a combination of both so the ear is much more likely to pick them out as something less benign than two bits of pk-pk flat dither.
    I understand the effects may depend on the programme material, but even two bits of pk-pk flat dither of a 16bit stream is typically 16dB to 20dB below the broadband background noise of a classical chamber music recording in a typical real-world venue. With commercial music the dynamic range tends to be compressed, so the dither will be even less perceptiable because there are fewer extended quiet sections of programme. I would prefer the effective noise level to increase by even a dB or so, if the alternative is gradually making a violin sound more and more like breaking glass from the effects of truncation.
    We have been doing listening tests on dither in association with the development of new high-res delivery products. It has been interesting that no listeners detected dither as a noise 'problem' during any of the tests - even when we tried adding a lot more than 2bits' worth. In general either one noticed no change or a slight improvement subjectively with more than 2bits' worth of dither. The only negative thing we detected was that adding multiple layers of so-called random dither sometimes brought attention to the fact that it was sometimes not quite as 'random' as it should be.

  • Audition CS6 does not play audio

    Audition CS6: My problem is that after importing an audio file and clicking on the play icon, I cannot hear any sound.  I'm using Windows 7 (all updates installed) on a desktop work station.  I began working with Audition CS6 two days ago while following a Lynda.com tutorial.  I installed the ASIO4All driver because the tutorial indicated it would provide the most features.  I did not attempt to play a file before the ASIO driver installation so I cannot say whether or not it caused my problem. [NOTE: I did create a restore point before installing the ASIO driver.]   Bottom line, I can play a song with Windows Media Player (WMP) but if I run Audition I get no sound and if I return to WMP I get a message that it is busy with another application; even after I close Audition.  Any suggestions?
    Bob

    Hi Bob,
    That depends on why you are trying to install an ASIO driver.  ASIO drivers, when provided by the manufacturer of your audio device, allow direct access to your audio hardware from Audition.  This can result in lower latency, more simultaneous input channels, and better performance.  If you're working on multitrack recording projects, then you might want to use a device that supports ASIO.  But if you're just using the built-in audio chip on your computer, ASIO4ALL won't give you significantly better performance since it's acting as a middleman between the application, OS, and hardware.  What it can provide is a little flexibility if you're trying to use different audio devices simultaneously.
    If you have 2 or more USB microphones, for instance, then ASIO4ALL can provide an interface that "wraps" the different devices and presents them as separate channels on a single virtual device.  Audition thinks it's talking to one driver - a necessity with ASIO - and ASIO4ALL handles the juggling of different device inputs and outputs.  If this isn't the sort of work you're doing, the basic Windows drivers (WASAPI or MME for older devices) should work just fine for most needs.

  • Safari 7.0 not working properly in OSX Mavericks

    I just downloaded and installed OSX Mavericks. Everything seems to be working great except for Safari. I have a Mid-2009 Macbook Pro 13" 2.26Ghz Core 2 Duo 8GB RAM.
    Safari opens, and works in 1 tab only. If you try to open a new tab, or open a page in a new tab, nothing happens. You can't get to the Safari Extensions, or Installed Plug-ins screens, because nothing happens when you click on them. If you try to go Full Screen, nothing happens except Safari freezes and will not respond. Besides all of that, if you hit the red button on the upper left to close Safari without "Quitting" safari, it has and error and says Sarafi Quit Unexpectedly. Is there anyway to wipe Safari 7 off of Mavericks and re-install it fresh? Don't care if I loose my settings/bookmarks etc.

    At the moment there does not appear to be a separate installer for Safari 7. It comes as part of the Mavericks installer. You could reinstall Mavericks and that would reinstall Safari. Pacifist CharlesSoft — software you always wished someone would write  can extract just the Safari installer, however.
    You might try a few other things first, though:
    boot into your recovery partition and repair your HD When to Run First Aid in Mountain Lion's Disk Utility - For Dummies (the title says ML, but it still applies to Mavericks)
    repair your permissions while you're at it
    a safe boot Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
    a test user account Isolating an issue by using another user account
    remove the Safari .plist file
    hold down the option key
    in the Go menu in the finder, scroll down to Library
    in Library, find Preferences
    in Preferences, find com.apple.safari.plist and drag it to the trash
    restart
    you'll have to reenter your Safari prefs

  • IPhoto does not work properly in os mavericks

    The Instant slideshow format only displays one slide and the sequence then terminates.  Using "Select All" and playing the sequence causes the sequence to display in reverse order.  Bizarrely any asssociated music plays the right way.
    Even more curious, Slideshows proper play normally.

  • Dreamweaver CS6 does not open on iMac OSX 10.7.5 after running update.

    Updated Creative Suite CS5 to CS6 the other day. Installed on two computers (27" iMac i7 Oct 2009, and 2008 MacBook Pro 15"), everything worked fine. Ran the updates that Adobe Application Manager said were available. Worked fine on my laptop, but kept getting errors on my iMac. I had to go into terminal and give the installer sudo permissions to get it to run on the iMac, but it finally went. After updating, Dreamweaver no longer opens on my iMac (still works fine on my old MacBook Pro). It only bounces once in the doc - no splash screen, no opportunity to report a crash. I deleted preferences and cache to no avail. I then uninstalled Dreamweaver (using the installer, with remove preferences checked) and reinstalled it without running the update - it still won't open.

    Well, I always seem to come up with questions that stump the crowd and have to figure these things out for myself in the end, which I did.
    I logged in as root user (any alternative administrator account would work), and succesfully opened dreamweaver. I then copied all the preferences and support files to the main hard drive, where I retrieved them when I logged back into my user account. I then transferred those files to their respective places in the Library and Dreamweaver is now working again.

  • ITunes 11.1.5 does not recognize devices in OSX Mavericks

    Can anyone help?

    Did All This: All compliant,
    Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Install software updates on your Mac.
    Note: If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.
    Check USB connections. iOS devices require USB 2.0 to function properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, refer to the computer's specifications.
    Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
    Restart your Mac.
    DID NOT WORK!!!!!

  • Simple Question: Why does this code not exit properly?

    This code is pretty simple. All I want to do is load and play a sound file in an application, but this code to load the sound file does not exit properly. I know that some resources must be allocated which I need to deallocate in order to shut down the process, but I don't know what to call to do a proper shut-down. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize USB PnP Sound device connected  to iMac OSX even when activated in Audio MIDI setup. The iMac(i-7 processor,16 GB)   is working with this USB device without any problem

    Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize the USB PnP Sound device in order to produce a commentary sound track. The USB device has been activated on the iMac OSX by using the Audio-MIDI-setup and is working correctly with the iMac. When opening > presets >audio hardware I can only select between >standard >out  integrated > digital input integrated >microphone integrated. USB PnP is not indicated at this place.
    With the built-in microphone of the iMac I can produce the commentary sound track, but I would prefer a stand alone version for better quality.
    Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Annemarie!

    I'm using a Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 (which has a microphone on the side). I have several other devices plugged into separate USB slots: a keyboard, a mouse, my iPhone, and a Roland keyboard midi controller.
    I've considered that maybe the webcam/mic combo is the culprit. If USB doesn't work at a constant speed, that could very well be causing the issue! The sound begins to lag badly sometimes when it's working properly, so that there's a multisecond delay between speaking and hearing my voice repeated back over the mic which is another sign that something is wrong. I've also caught it making a strange electronic sound during its "hang" time once it stops taking sound input correctly.
    Maybe I should try to use line-in and forgo USB altogether then. I think I'd need a preamp and some sort of converter for that since the Mac Mini lacks a powered mic jack. I'm only a newbie musician so I've never set up such a system but it might be a better solution in the long run.
    I'll check to see if it hangs before or after my computer enters suspend mode, that's a good suggestion too. Thank you for your help!

  • Flash player does not work properly on Windows 7 32 bits

    Hello,

    some games in http://www.kongregate.com/ => black screen instead of games, right click gives flash context menu
    I have no problem with shockwave in http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/
    No problem too with flash player on http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    But in the Global Privacy Settings panel (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.htm l), I cannot change any settings :
    I cannot check boxes,
    My changes are not saved.
    In most of flash animations, videos, ...,
    when I click on parameters, I cannot do anything, even closing.
    when I am in full screen mode, the message "press escape to exit...." does not disappear.
    Last thing, all those problems was not there when I was on Windows XP, few weeks ago, and appear with my registered Windows 7 premium familly edition, with the same hardware configuration...

    HELP ME!!!! My trial Photoshop CS6 is not installing properly and i am unable to locate and open the application on my mac. I am just going around in circles from file to file and back to the starting "intall" icon

    I am on the Adobe Download Assistant. It was stuck at "less than a minute" for an hour and a half, showing that the installation was basically done, since the installation bar was full.  But it was stuck.  Now it has stopped all together, and is restarting the download from scratch.
    Apparently it does not save the download, or only saves a small portion.
    c:\adobe/CS6MasterCollection/MasterCollection_CS6_LS16.7z.adadownload
    It is at 85.6 MB, even though a short time ago it was close to 99.9% done with the 6,352 MB download.
    My internet connection is fine, all is working, and I am able to browse, etc.
    I have been careful to keep activity minimal on the computer, so as to avoid conflicts.
    The conflicts are with the Adobe Download Assistant.
    I amabout ready to just give up, and look for alternatives.
    Please help.
