Cannot close CC applications because they do not appear to be running - therefore cannot update to CC 2014 applications

Mac OS 10.9.4 . . . Trying to update my CC apps to latest versions of CC (2014) InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop (and even Bridge CC). I keep getting messages specific to each update –e.g. InDesign CC (2014) Update, Please close the following applications to continue: -Adobe InDesign C. ALL Adobe appear to be closed. None of the application icons are running. No Adobe apps are listed in Force Quit as running and none are listed in Activity Monitor as running. In Activity Monitor, I have tried quitting all Adobe related items: Adobe IPC Broker and Adobe CEF Helper (those were the only two items running that seemed related to Adobe), none of those steps helped me complete the updating process. How can I close apps that are not running? Where are they running? Should I try to uninstall them?

Hello, and thank you for your suggestion, Sarthak.
No luck with that either, evidently.
I restarted, then noticed in Activity Monitor that restarting my machine had also restarted several of the CC (2014) apps even though I did not launch them manually. I used force quit on them in Activity Monitor, then attempted to perform the updates in Creative Cloud. I started with InDesign CC (2014) Update and got the same instructions to –Please close the following applications to continue: - Adobe InDesign C

iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format

Items in the iTunes library can't copy to the iPhone because they could not be found.

Everytime I try to sync my iPhone4 to my PC, a notification pops up saying that some of the items (ringtones) cannot be copied because they could not be found. I tried syncing it about 5 times and the same thing happened.

Problem solved.
Thanks everyone.

Since downloading Yosmite on my MAC I have not been able to download photos to LR 5. Error message: "the following files were not imported because they could not be read (335).I have been working with several forums and have dtried going into preference

LR 5 - using it on a MAC-
Error message: "the following files were not imported because they could not be read (335).
I have been working with several forums and have tried all recommendations and none have worked.
I have tried reloading new LR 5 - and it worked for a short time and then stopped.
Very frustrated that I cannot talk with someone at Adobe.
The folks that have made recommendations are great but once their suggestions dont work they drop the link,
Is there someone or someplace I can take my computer to fix this issue.
It seems to be a problem between LR and Yosemite.

The permissions have been changed on the destination folder where the photos are to be copied into.
You must make sure that the permissions are set to Read and Write.
Or perhaps the destination folder has been changed accidentally to something else, and you need to change it back to whatever it used to be.

I get an error message "the following files were not imprted because they could not be read (266) on Lightroom 4 on my desktop.
No problems importing the files onto my laptop. Using a SANDISK card reader and card. What's going on on the desktop?

Leanne, check the write pernissions on the folder/drive you are attempting to import into on your desktop. The message usually means "cannot be written" - a not so clear message.

There is no way around the activation lock. You apparently decided to use the phone with someone else's ID set up for an iCloud (and find my iPhone) account before updating. Since Find My iPhone was active, updating to iOS 7 has automatically turned on the activation lock. If you do not have the Apple ID and password that were previously used, then the phone is now useless. You can't activate it without that informaion.
Talk to whoever you bought the phone from if you can. If you can't, buy a new phone.

Please help me to find my iPad and iPhone 5C. I lost all of them last night. I set up icloud for my devices but i can't find them because they were not connect to the Internet. Please guide me other ways to find my "best friends".

Dear Apple,
Please help me to find my iPad Air 2 64 GB and iPhone 5C 8GB. They're in IOS 8.0 maybe...I lost all of them last night. I set up icloud for my devices but i can't find them because they were not connect to the Internet. Please guide me other ways to find my "best friends". They're very important to me. Many important files for my job in here and it has sentimental value to me. My boyfriend gave it for me so i don't want to lose them. And because i just lost my iPad Air last 3 month, and now i just bought iPad Air 2 two months ago. I'm so sad and lost. I want to catch the thief to the police so bad because they keep my bag and many other important things. I can not do anything without them. Please help me and contact me via my email or my phone. Thank you very much. Hope to receive your answer soon.

I was trying to sync my itouch with my new mac, and some songs won't download because they are not authorized for this computer. But even after my computer was authorized they still won't sync. How do I fix this?

I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.

Since I downloaded iTunes 11, I get a message when syncing my iPod that some of my songs were not copied because they are not authorized on this computer, I go to Store Authorize This Computer, a message pops up telling me that this computer is already.

So I am unclear, did you purchase these songs or import them from a cd?
If you imported them and still have the CD try importing them again and see if they work the delete the others.
Or if you purchased from itunes re-dowwnload and see if they work. Maybe they are corrupted files and this should resove it.

Starting in 2015 I get the following error when I try to import my photos. "The following files were not imported because they could not be read" -DSC8416.NEF I've been importing the same type of photos with no errors then 2015 came along and now I can

The error message is misleading, the problem is that you need WRITE privileges added to the destination directory tree.
Assuming you are using the "date" structure that LR defaults to, find the directory that contains the 2014 folder (the one that works) and add WRITE rights to the parent of "2014".
While you are there, if you want, add "2015" folder to beside "2014" and add READ and WRITE rights to that new directory.

Thank you for the help, have sorted it through Restrictions in General settings now : )
No more mysterious app purchases on my c.card now thank god !!
You would think they would set as default that Password was required - Imediatly . But they know there likely to get more purchases the way the default set it..
Thanks again for prompt reply!!!

After upgrading my iPad to iOS 6 some of the music playlists from iOS 5 no longer work, because they are not available on iOS 6, eg. recently added, recently played. Should I delete them?

Since the upgrade to iOS 6 some of my music playlists from iOS 5 do not work, eg recently added, recently played, probably because they are not available on iOS6. Should I delete them.

I should mention that I have the same issue with my Iphone 4s, now using iOS6.

Syncing "file name", were not copied to the iPad because they could not b

Hi,
This problem has bothered me for a couple of weeks. Copied here is the exact error message iTunes delivers when I try to sync a video library over to my iPad.
"Some of the items in the iTunes library, including "file name", were not copied to the iPad because they could not be found."
What is so weird relates to the randomness of it. I have 19 video files that show in iTunes. When I sync to the iPad, I only get about 5 that move over correctly. The others get an error message as noted above.
Does this issue have to do with the files (i.e. attributes, type (.mp4), or any thing else)?
Is this really an issue with the iPad syncing software?
Getting a little frustrated. Anyone else?
Thanks for any help one can provide!

I also get the same problem, this is very tedious but if you edit the song somehow and re-save it then it will copy. Not sure what the problem is at all, tried contacting Apple about this to no avail.

Within Contacts, tap Groups at top left. Make sure all contact groups are checked to show, then tap "Done" at top right.
