Captivate 6 does not launch - flashes briefly then disappears

I just installed the subscription version of Captiavte 6. When I try to launch the app, the screen briefly flashes for a second or two, and then disappears. The app itself does not launch.
I am on Windows 7, 64 bit. I have a prior version of Captiavte 5.5 (which for various reasons I have not uninstalled yet). Help!

You can have any number of Captivate major versions installed on your PC and they don't usually interfere with one another. (I happen to have versions 3, 4, 5.0, 5.5, 6.1 on my laptop.)
Are you launching Cp6 using Run As Administrator?
If you had previously installed a trial version of Cp6, did you delete the Preferences folder before upgrading or installing 6.1? If not, then do so.
Sometimes Captivate crashes due to corrupted fonts. The usual debug process is to go to your Windows > Fonts folder and cut/paste all non-default fonts out to another folder so that you can check if this is in fact the issue. If Captivate then launches successfully, you start re-installing fonts until you find the one/s responsible for the crash.

Android AIR does not launch - app opens then immediately closes

I have created a very simple app using Flash - AIR for Android extension. I have confirmed that my Droid2 device is connected via the DDMS through the Android SDK, and have published the app to the device following the instructions here: http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/devices/pdfs/device_lab1.pdf. When published, the APK was packaged successfully, but get the following warning:
Application has not specified its permission requirements in application.xml. This thread touches on it http://forums.adobe.com/thread/740905, but doesn't say whether to fix it, or what persmissions are necessary.
On the phone I can navigate to the app, however when I tap the app icon, the app closes as soon as it opens.
Any thoughts on what is causing this and how to fix it? Thanks for any help!

To test AIR runtime is working on my device/phone, I downloaded an Adobe AIR app from the Adobe Showcase, and discovered this app does not launch either, so I suspect the Adobe AIR application on my device/phone is not working.

Captivate does not launch after clicking application icon

I just downloaded and successfully installed Captivate. And elected to use the Trial mode. But when I click on the application icon, whether in the applications folder or the alias I placed in the dock, nothing happens.
Help please.
Thanks, Chris.

@Arunkumar: Yes, I ran the AM tester and I am able to see the results properly for all the VOs and levels.
I created a sample on the HR Schema and tested. I see that when I click on the Employee node for expansion(can be checked with the data or the short description), it hangs with the load icon.
I do not see anything in the log other than:
<RegionRenderer> <encodeAll> The region component with id: r1 has detected a page fragment with multiple root components. Fragments with more than one root component may not display correctly in a region and may have a negative impact on performance. It is recommended that you restructure the page fragment to have a single root component.
I do not see any upload options here to give my testcase. So, I uploaded to this link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vybip3owzuziz86/HRHierarchyViewer.zip
Please let me know if I can do this elsewhere for easy access.

TS5174 We have iPhotos in a shared folder. When my partner tries to view some photos(not all) they flash open, then disappear. This doesn't happen when I log in and open them. Any ideas would be welcome. Thanks.

We have iPhotos in a shared folder so both my pertner and I can access the pictures.
Recently, when my partner tries to open some of the more recent pictures, they open briefly, then disappear. This doesn't happen with all of them, and there doesn't seem to be any link between those that do, and those that don't.
When I try to open them, they open with no problem, and remain open until I close them.
Has anyone any solutions, please?
Thanks.

A shared folder is not sufficient to share an iPhoto library. When you open the library from your account, the ownership and permissions of library items changes.
The safest way to share a library is to put it onto a separate disk or disk partition with the "Ignore Ownership on this volume" flag set. See this document on how to achieve this:
iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198

Flash Player does not launch full screen upon Windows restart

We have a Flash application file (flash.exe file) saved on the Desktop of our client's 46" touchscreen. We've created a shortcut to the application in the Windows Start/All Programs/Startup menu as we have 4 reboots scheduled during the day for this application. Upon reboot, the application does not launch full screen but if I cancel out of the application through the Task Manager and go to the Startup menu and double click the shortcut to the exe file, the application launches full screen. The size of the screen and application is 1920x1080.
Other information:
Windows XP SP3
Flash Player 10
(Please note I have fixed the Window System Error that you see in this screen shot)
Thank you for your help!

Do you have set it to Maximized ?

Pictures in iPhoto 6 library flash and then disappear but leave a box

OSX 10.5.8 iPhoto 6
pictures in library flash and then disappear but leave an empty box

Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Can't open documents - File select screen just flashes and then disappears

In Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Standard - When I open Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. and then try to open a document from one of these programs, the screen where you would select the file to open just flashes and then disappears. This locks me out of the program because it is waiting for a response from me - I can't even exit the program. I have to go to the Task List and close the program from there. This is a new issue - Have had Creative Suite for a while. Does not happen in Word, Excel, etc. I have already tried removing and reinstalling the software - No change. I have minimized all other windows - Still cannot access the file selection screen.

If you have an LCD monitor, make sure it is running at its maximum resolution. After the dialog disappears, try pressing Alt + Spacebar, then M and see if you can find it on the edge of the screen and move it in by pressing arrow keys, press one a few times, then the opposite to bring it back if it didn't show up.

Thank you for the prompt response, guru Cox.
Deleting the com.adobe.crashreporter.plist file had no effect. I have never changed files inside any application bundle; however…
…I was able to launch the Adobe Crash Reporter successfully from inside the Bridge CS4 application bundle. The preferences were already set as desired. Comparing the two Adobe Crash Reporter app icons, I noticed that the one inside the CS4 app bundle (the one that will not launch) has its Owner set to system, while the one inside the Bridge app bundle that launches successfully has it set to myusername. Changing that ownership on the non-launching copy of the crash reporter had no effect. I had Repaired Permissions on the disk a couple of times today, with no effect.
Now I wonder whether it's more prudent to leave things as they are, inasmuch as (1) I can't even remember the last time Photoshop crashed on me (the last time Bridge crashed was in March) and (2) now I know the preferences are set as desired.
Later today I'll try re-installing Ps 11 without un-installing first, and I'll report back.
Thanks again.

The "edit in" does not launch if I make any develop changes. I am using LR 5.6 and all of my plug ins are properly installed, up to date and were working just fine. Edit in does work if I reset the image or load an unmodified DNG.

I am using LR5.6 on a Windows 7 machine with plenty of memory. LR, CS5 and all of my plug ins have been working just fine. Tonight I've found that if I make any kind of significant adjustments to an image, and the go to "Edit in.." that function does not launch. I can use the Edit in command on an unmodified image, or if I reset the modified image. I have the issue with all of my plug ins, including Photoshop, all of the Nik software, RadLab, and OnOne. I believe that all of the plug ins are current. I've been working with them yesterday and I had no issue. I cannot recall anything that has changed since then, and I have not installed any software. I'm at a loss!! Please help!

I have traced the problem to a corrupted profile. When I captured the images in question, I also used Color Cherckr to create a profile for processing. When I apply that profile to the adjustments I make, I can no longer "Edit In". If I use another profile, even one that I created using Color Checkr at a different point in time, I don't have the issue. Something seems to have corrupted the new profile. I will re-create the profile and see if the issue is resolved.

Lookout 6.1 build 27 OPCClient does not launch the Opto 22 OPC SEVER

In the same computer, with the same Lookout 6.1 a few weeks ago, I had communication between Opto 22 OPC Server and Lookout using the OPCClient in Lookout. Settings in OPCClient were for a really fast scanning rate (50 milliseconds) and de deadband was set to zero in order to see all the inputs changes with the best resolution. These I/O units are Opto PAC EB2 brains, and the OPC Server belongs to the suite of PAC 8.0 (I tried also 8.1) of Opto 22. The I/O Configuration and the OPC configuration was done with the same OPTO22 software version.This was a test done in order to see if I can get 20 samples per second from all the I/O's. It did go well, even a little faster than required. It was informed to my bosses, then I had the 'go' for the project I'm working on. That was the main concern of everyone here; the fast communication between Lookout an the Hardware.
The computer runs windows XP SP2, has two ethernet ports; one with dynamic IP address on motherboard (for the company network), and a PCI ethernet cad with a fixed IP address in the range of the IP addresses of the Opto 22 brains dedicated to talk to these I/O units.
I called first to the tech support of OPTO 22. They shown me how to double check and to launch manually the OPC Server, there is a tester software for it. The OPC Server was launched and I saw it in the task manager under processes tab.
When I create the object in Lookout, it does not see the server, neither launches the server. I can see the data members of the OPCClient, but I can not see the variables or tags from the server.
Again, it did work a few weeks before in the same PC, with the same Lookout and the same Opto 22 as a test. Now I need to add the OPCClient to my application and make the corresponding connections, but I can't.
This is becoming a kind of hurry, time is running and the application can not get to work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

When the OPC Client object is created, I can select the OPTO22OPCSever.2 in the dropdown list of servers. It is there, and the object can be configured normally. I must see in the object explorer (expanding the OPCClient object) the tags configured in OPTO 22 Server,but they are not there. The Client object only shows its data members. Once Lookout is open with the OPCClient, the task manager/services does not show Opto22OPCSever.exe running, that tells me that Lookout's client does not launch the server and that's why it does not show the tags configured in the server.
I have uninstalled Opto 22 software and re-installed, I called Opto 22 tech support and they shown me a way to launch manually the server, even how to monitor some of the values of its tags. I saw the Opto22OPCServer.exe in the processes list of the task manager, I read values of some tags with the OPC tester, To me, the server side is working fine.
Then, I installed Lookout .During this process there was an error 1922 and a message saying that files mssgl.mdf, mssgl.mdl, and mssgl.ldl are not found, These files must be located in C:\ Program Files\ National Instruments\Lookout 6.1\ Database. During the first installation of Lookout 6.1, I followed the instructions in the README file, where some specific commands must be typed in the run windows and executed to create the database properly. It was done, no errors were displayed during the first installation.
The thing is that this OPCClient/OPCServer DID WORK before. For some reason it does not work NOW.
this computer didn't have any previous version of Lookout installed, there is no possible old database messing here.
Again; the computer runs windows XP SP2, it has a dual core processor.

Unable to launch PSE12, I sign in, but app does not launch

I double click on the shortcut, I am asked to sign in and when I do, the box disappears and application does not launch.
I have updated the PSE using the Adobe updater, I cleared the preferences file and nothings.
Any suggestions?

If you launch the editor and organizer directly from the .exe/application files do they work?

Desktop Icon does not launch program on Mac after download

Purchased from Adobe via internet. Akamai interface downloaded and then Photoshop Elements 11. Both icons on Mac desktop. Double clicking on PE 11 does not launch program. Is it fully downloaded? I get Read Me file in four languages as well as a PE 11 icon after double clicking the desktop icon.
Thanks

Thank you. The download directions did not include the part about double clicking the desktop Elements icon, double clicking the elements icon within the box that opened and then clicking on "install." Okay, so i am not computer savvy, but the directions gave the impression that the download was complete after following the supplied instructions. Who knew? I did not want to duplicate a download, so was apprehensive to take this action. Did it anyway out of frustration and it worked. Obviously, the application was not entirely downloaded. Now, i get to learn a whole new application as IPhoto bites! I spent hours and hours, days upon days scanning and editing old family photos in IPhoto only to learn that the program re-sorted my photo order when i tried to make copies for family. I lost my edits, lost my photo notes and had to retrieve my entire library before presenting several hundred multi generational family photos to everyone in my extended family! Hopefully, this application will be an improvement!
Thanks again for taking the time to respond!

External Browser does not launch

I'm using ColdFusion Builder 9 on Mac.
When I run ColdFusion Application, external browser (Safari) does not launch.
I went to Adobe ColdFusion Builder>Preferenceces>Web Browser and made sure that 'use external web browser' and 'Default system Web browser' are selected.
In case, 'Default system Web Browser' is not working for some reason, I try to define a new external web browser (Chrome).
I enter the followings for the required fields:
Name: Chrome
Location: /Applications/Google Chrome.app
Parameters: -url http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
When I hit OK, 'The location value is not a valid path name' dialog appears.
Any help would be appreciated

Still having the same issue. I want to use Google Chrome for debugging my Flash app from Flash Builder 4. I tried inserting
/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome
/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/
"/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome"
'/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome'
in the "Edit External Web Browser" dialog, to no avail.
The space in 'Google Chrome' is tripping FB4 up apparently.
I also tried launching a script with "open -a /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/" but in that case, while that is accepted, it fails to connect to the debugger.

P20: Hidden reset button? Windows does not launch

My Toshiba Satellite P20 laptop (XP Media Edition )does not Start up
The last actions were :
A memory stick was ejected.
Two explorer windows were closed.
Clicked on the "Start" button.
The "Start" button did not respond and the display froze.
The P20 was not reacting to anything except the movement of the mouse. Ctrl-Alt-Delete did not work.
I tried to switch the P20 off but the on/off button would not respond. The P20 was left alone for 30 minutes to switch itself off.
Since switching off the P20 has refused to start up.
If the On button is pressed the fan starts for a couple of seconds but then the P20 cuts out again.
Windows does not launch.
I checked the inlet fan is clean & working.
I tried switching on and hitting the function buttons in turn e.g F8, F1 to F4 for booting up in safe mode, in case of accidental switch to hibernate or to a separate screen etc.FN light comes on but screen stays dark.
I have taken out the battery and left it to comtemplate its navel = P20 does not start up.
I have had the hard drive checked by PC World and they said it was working properly. There are two different technical opinions on what might be wrong with the P20.
1) Problem with the motherboard.
2) It is stuck in hibernation mode.
I am faced with the prospect of paying over 300 for repairs (estimate supplied by repair company Mastercare).
Is there a form of emergency restart of the P20 just in case the problem is software and not hardware related?
Could not see the 'paperclip' socket on the machine and nothing in the manual.

Hi Noelma,
When you press the power button try pressing the ESC key. This should show you the BIOS load process. If you still get just a black screen then I suspect a problem with your mainboard and the quote your got from Mastercare would be quite reasonable for this to be replaced. :(
Hopefully you will be able to see the BIOS process in which case you should be able to see where the load process stops.
Best of luck

Mail does not launch

Mail does not launch I tried everything I know Please advise I did upgrade to Yosemite few days ago

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.
