CS3 Pro 8.1 won't open

I installed the CS3 pkg with Acrobat Pro 8.1. Whenever I try to open a pdf a box pops up and says Pro 8.1 can't open without another CS3 module open. When I open one it still gives me the same pop up. Now I can't open any pdf's on the web. I loaded Reader 8.0 but it only works if I save the pdf first - which I don't always have that option. Also, I can't uninstall Pro without uninstalling the entire CS3. I had the full Acrobat 7.0 but when I try to reinstall it I get a popup that says I have a newer version so it will terminate my installation. HELP PLEASE!!!!!

I'm having the same issue too - brand new laptop!
Did you guys ever get anywhere with fixing this? 
I have a strange problem where the time is wrong for the region that I'm in. It's an hour out and I have checked within the clock in the corner and everything is definitely set up correctly so I can only assume that the issue is related.

  • Premiere Pro 4 File Won't Open

    Hi all
    I have an adobe premiere pro file that won't open. When I double click on it, the load project bar gets to about four fiths of the way, then it just stops. The last time I saved the file, I saved it to my computer, then I saved it to a portable hard drive to back it up (around four minutes later). Both versions of the file won't open. The previous file will open, but I have done 30 hours more work since then (on the new file). I thought it was enough to be saving every few minutes, saving back ups to a portable hard drive... I also have a raid 1 configuration! I was never expecting this. When I leave the Premiere Pro on the Load Project screen, it stays there for hours.
    If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it.

    Hi John
    Thanks for getting back to me. I just looked in autosave. The file that won't open was last saved at 11:02pm on the 16th. There was an autosave project at 10.25pm on the 16th, and that wouldn't open either (it crashes at exactly the same place as the other one). However, there was an autosave file at 6:17pm on the 16th that would open. Curious though, it doesn't seem to have a lot of the changes I thought I had made by this time. It seems to be earlier than this (although perhaps my memory isn't serving me correctly). Should there be more autosaves that this? I had the program open pretty much that whole time, and nothing between 6:17 and 10:25.
    Anyway, that's a start! Something must have happened between 6.17pm and 10.25pm that'd made the file go kaput. I would love to know what, so I can avoid this happening again. First things first though, it'd be fantastic to get the file that isn't opening working.
    Thanks for your swift response too, Jim. I opened PP and tried to open the file from the interface. The load project bar stopped at the same place. I can open other projects fine. As to your last suggestion, I created a new project, and went to File/Import then clicked on the file in question. It started importing, then the progress bar froze at exactly the same place. I'm not sure if I did this correctly. Is there another way to import a PP file into an existing PP?
    Thanks again for your time. It's just nice to speak to someone about this because I really freaked out when it happened.

  • Premiere Pro CS5.5 Won't Open - Mac

    At first I had problems with AE not opening (hanging at "Initializing Media Core") and the dynamic link to some of the composiitons in my PP project, so I called support. I spent an hour and a half with a lady controlling my computer, and my AE problem seemed to disappear. We hung up, and then I opened my PP project again, and the dynamic link 'started' to work, but then PP randomly shut down. And now I have a PP problem...
    I tried reopening and it loaded the project, glitched a little bit on the screen, then it said "Sorry a serious error has occured that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project." Now I get it EVERY time I open a project.
    So I called support again, and after spending 3 hours with a guy, he told me I had to create a new user account and migrate all of my information there, but he said he could offer me no assistance in this area. I must find out for myself. So I followed the instructions here.
    "pick a short user name for your new account. then run the following terminal commands
    sudo mkdir /users/newshortname
    sudo ditto ~ /users/newshortname
    You'll have to enter your admin password (which you won't see) after the first command. that's normal. This will copy your current home directory to /users/newshortname. Then go to system preferences->accounts and create a new account with the short name newshortname. You'll get a popup saying that a home directory by that name already exists and asking if you want to use it. say yes."
    As I figured (after waiting a day for all of my files and preferences to transfer to the new account) I had the same problem. I've tried deactivating, re-installing, removing the media core and then putting it back (with the help of Adobe support), and nothing is working. I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    Someone, please offer some assistance. I have been out of commision from editing for three days now, and I have a bunch of deadlines coming up.
    HELP ME!

    Hi Vinay,
    1. I am using third party plug ins, and I understand that might be causing an issue, but I've also tried opening a new project with nothing in it at all, and that won't open.
    2. Premiere Pro quits after the project loading bar or after I create a new project.
    3. I used a lot of files! mov, mts, psd, ai, png, jpeg, and AE compositions through dynamic link.
    4. The project has about five sequences. They range from 1 minute to 4 minutes.
    Thanks!

  • Premiere Pro CC 2014 won't open "because it is not responding".

    When trying to open Premiere Pro CC 2014 it won't open and I get the message "You can't open the application "Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014" because it is not responding.
    I've done my updates, uninstalled it, reinstalled it. Even did a clean re-install of the Yosemite OS but nothing. It opens up fine on my laptop.

    A variety of issues can cause PPRO to crash on launch. Here are some of them:
    a problem with the Preferences, or some other pref-related file in the Profile-<USERNAME> bin.
    the graphics driver
    having an integrated graphics chip as well as a graphics card. Disabling the integrated chip often fixes this.
    having Nvidia CUDA drivers installed on a system with an AMD card
    third-party plug-ins
    a problem with the cache files.
    a problem with the project file (if you're loading a project...)
    folders that Premiere writes to being set to read-only
    the user not having administrator rights
    a conflict/incompatibility with some OS setting
    a problem on the licensing/authentication side.
    The fact that you've done a fresh installation of 10.10 eliminates some of those possibilities.
    After a crash on launch, does a dialog box eventually come up prompting you to submit a crash report to either Adobe or Apple? If so, please click "information" or the like to access the crash log and copy/paste the report here.

  • Direct link from Premiere Pro to Speedgrade won't open and stops at the post processing bar.

    I've just installed the new version of Speedgrade and every time I try to open a direct link from Premiere Pro to Speedgrade, it opens and starts to load, but when the post processing bar appears it stops there and doesn't open, I've gone back to the original versions of both programmes and that same thing happens, HLEP!

  • Premiere Pro CS4 Setup won't open

    Ok, so I searched and couldn't find anyone with a similar problem: I just downloaded the trial version for Premiere Pro CS4 on Adobe website, but the setup file won't open. I'm on Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, more than 10GB of available disk space; meeting all the system requirements. I can open and browse the .DMG, but when I open the Setup, its icon briefly appears on the Dock, then disappears.
    Does anyone know what I should to do fix this?? Many thanks in advance!!

    I formatted my HDD, did a clean instalation of Snow Leopard, opened the setup... and it worked just fine!!
    That is great news, and thanks for reporting.
    Now, there have been some stated issues with Encore and Snow Leopard. If you plan on using Encore for authoring, you might want to pop into the Encore forum and look around. Do not recall the issues, or any resolutions, but there were some issues.
    Good luck,

  • XP Pro on computer won't open Blackberry Desktop software

    I have been unable to synch my BlackberryTour with Outlook 2010. We run XP Pro as an operating system on the computer in question. Various versions of the Blackberry Desktop software haven't helped. Either they will open the BB Desktop Software (Version 5.0) but won't synch to Outlook 2010, or the BB software loads apparently successfully, but won't open on the computer (Version 7.1). My husband says he tried all the BB desktop versions in between unsuccessfully. Any ideas of what to try?
    Solved!

    Hi dmrincon,
    To clarify, are you unable to launch the BlackBerry® Desktop Software or does it launch and you are just not able to sync?

  • My MacBook Pro (Late 2009) won't open specific website

    Hello!
    I have a problem with opening hotfile.com website. In any browser (I've checked in Safari, Chrome and Firefox) it won't open. The weird thing is that on my wifes' PC there is no problem to open that page. Moreover, I CAN open that page, but only using online proxies (tried on zend2.com), and Windows 7 via Parallels…
    I've cleared cache of browsers many times but with no results. I've checked "hosts" file also, but there was everything fine.
    Through Terminal.app trying "ping" and "traceroute" gives both "unknown host".
    Using same commands on my router displays connection with hotfile.com properly.
    I don't know, what's wrong. :/
    Hope there will be somebody, who will help me.
    Best regards,
    Maciej from Poland

    It sounds like a DNS issue. DNS (Domain Name System) is how your system translates the name you type into your address bar into an actual address. When you enter the name hotfile.com... you system goes out and queries a DNS server which looks up the name to get the correct address and then sends you there.
    I would suggest that you just change your DNS server. Use this page as a guide on how to change it, but don't use the DNS server info they provide (as it's specific for the school giving the instructions). Instead use the OpenDNS addresses which are:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    If there are currently DNS servers listed, just delete them.
    http://ucdb.grinnell.edu/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Help.MacDNSIssues
    You may need to make the DNS change for your ethernet connection as well if you're experiencing the same problem.
    Let us know how you make out.

  • PS CS3 very strange behaviors (won't open only some jpegs)

    I have been having weird problems with PS CS3 all week. I finally resorted to wiping out my login identy for Windows and making a new one and then later of removing all adobe products and then resinstalling them. Still it is doing weird stuff.
    I have two folders of jpegs open. One I can drag into PS and they open find. I can also use the open dialog box and it works great. LR will open anything into PS. Except thsi one folder. It will not recognize any files in this folder. I get the message
    Could not complete your request because of a program error.
    I understand that the techs at Adobe don't care about a set of software that is a couple of cycles back and rarely take the time to look at any concerns with it, as my questions on this forum are rarely resolved and I get help on other sites much quicker, but I am wondering if any PS users out there have encoutnered this kind of ridiculous behavior that seems at the least improbably if not impossible to explain.
    XP pro on a self built intel motherboard with P4 processor
    (lots of plugins - NIK, OnONe etc)

    Thank you for your response Noel. I was under the impression that there were admin that were actual Adobe employees present. My mistake.
    These files will open in any number of other programs - Windows file viewer, Nero, etc.
    There were exported via lightroom and saved as SRGB jpegs to be uploaded onto a webserver. I don't use camera raw (via PS or Bridge) all that often, and never with these particular files.

  • HELP!! Since upgrading to Mac OS x 10.3.2 my Pro Tools sessions won't open!

    Can anyone please help me. I was running Mac OS 9 and Pro Tools 5.1 on my Mac G4. I needed to upgrade to add a new piece of equipment. So I was told to update to Mac OSx 10.3.2 and Pro Tools 6.0. Since doing so, when I try to open my Pro Tools, it opens, but when I try to open a new session, I keep getting a small screen that says I must restart my computer. AFter restarting and repeating the above, I get the same message over and over. I tried updating to Mac OSx 10.3.8 and the problem is still occuring. Can anyone out there give me some advice on what to do next??? Thank you!!!

    Hi Susan,
    I dont know what the specific issue is but will try to be helpful anyway.
    If this were my problem the first thing I would assess (preferably from Digidesign) is - is PT 6.x known to be compatible with Mac OSX 10.3.x ?
    Once this hurdle has been cleared, and assuming that the compatibility is there,
    then I would want to know if your install/upgrade to 10.3.8 is 'clear'. Meaning, you've run Disk Utility *from the Panther Retail install disk* and DU is showing no errors, either with Permissions or with "Repair Disk". The logic being an app cant be expected to work right on top of an OS that isnt even healthy.
    Next, you say PT launches. You seem to imply that either:
    a. File/Open/sessionX
    or
    b. 2x clicking a session
    causes some kind of window to appear. Is that a PT related window or OSX type window ?
    Does the window occur with either a. or b. above or with only one method or what ?
    Can you do a "File / New ..." and not see the window appear ?
    Best,
    Chris

  • Mac Pro optical drive won't open - it could be virtualbox!

    I use Virtualbox to check websites in IE and other windows browsers.
    To get the optical drive to work in windows, I had to allow VB to "take over" the optical drive when VB was running.
    So when my optical drive would not open this morning, and just before panic set in, I remembered that I had left VB running an hour ago, and was probably not letting me open my optical drive from Mac OS.
    As soon as I shut down VB, I had full control of my optical drive again.

    I'm having exactly the same trouble with my Pioneer BDR-208D (SATA).  I have swapped bays and swapped drives with the earlier BDR-207D, but the same symptoms occur with both, so I do not believe it's a problem with the drive itself. It is as if power stops to the optical drive buses.
    My machine is a mid-2010 model Mac Pro 2 x 2.4 Ghz quad core running OSX 10.7.5.
    Any luck with the energy saver solution? I'm going to give that a try right now.

  • Premiere Pro CC project won't open on another computer

    Hi, I am working at a Premiere Pro CC project with a collaborators.
    We share and external hard drive with the footage structure, do some edits then pass the hard drive to the other person and so on.
    Recently, after passing the hard drive, my collaborators can no longer open the Premiere Pro project on her computer.
    Does anybody know what the problem is?
    Thanks

    What exactly are the symptoms?  What happens when they try an open the project?

  • Premiere Pro cs6 projects won't open

    I'm working on multiple Mac systems, 2 Mac Pro (3 years old) desktops and one fairly new macbook pro.  Recently, I've run into a very serious problem.  My projects that I've been working on for days, will suddenly not open any more - on any of my machines.  This is happening with different projects on different machines.  Whenever I try to open them, I get the never ending stopwatch icon and nothing happens from there.  Last night, I opened a fairly new project, worked on it for about 2.5 hours, then came in this morning and tried to launch it on the same machine and it wouldn't open.
    As I said, this is happening with completely different projects on completely different machines.  I'm losing my mind.  I've tried trashing my prefs by holding shift-option down on launch, this hasn't worked.  Has anyone seen this before?
