CS4 Mac Reconnect Footage locks up?

Greetings!
I rencently wiped my hard drive for a fresh install of my new CS4 Production Premium. The location of my media now sets in a different location. No problem! The media is still on my Mac.
When I load my old CS3 projects, it tells me X number of files are offline. No problem! I highlight my video clips > reconnect footage and it re-links all clips. No Problem! I highlight my other files (and I've done this in every possible order, psd, eps, ai, jpeg) and I do a search for the individual clip thats offline, and as I click OK it says XY number of files were found ... pinwheel. After Effects locks up! ?? I've even left the project clips offline, and Saved As CS4. Pinwheel if I reconnect footage.
I've tried this on ALL of my old CS3 projects! I've reversed the order in which offline clips I select first. Pinwheel.
What's going on??? Why won't After Effects reconnect my footage without locking up? I'm up-to-date 9.0.2.

Yes, if I manually loacate the file, then it WON'T lock up. If I perform a search for that file (in the After Effects Replace Footage window), it DOES. Strange.
In Apple's Final Cut Pro, the Search function for reconnecting media works quite well so I'm certain this is not a MacOS files system issue.
I've had this same thing happen to me in AE. I just figured it was a minor bug, something ugly between the MacOS Spotlight and Adobe? They're not getting along with each other. I gave up trying to figure it out and simply use your same workaround.

Fireworks CS4 Mac fails to quit. Any HELP appreciated.

I ALWAYS HAVE TO force quit FW CS4. This has been happening
ever since I
first installed it.
This is the console log:

Same here. I have never ever been able to quit FW CS4 the
regular way since the very sad day I installed it.
Furthermore, I experience crashes whenever I rearrange my
menue floaters (I already tried deleting my user prefs).
To crown this, today I closed my "document library" panel by
accident and probably will never see it again. Too bad, I really
got used to have it around...

Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

InDesign CS4 Mac starts but then freezes

Indesign CS4 Mac starts up but freezes from there. Trying to open files or create new ones results in the filename appearing at the bottom of the Window drop-down menu, but the file doesnt appear on-screen.
The same result occurs when opening files using "Open Recent File" as well as double-clicking the file in Finder or using "Open With" in FInder.
It couldnt have picked a worse time to crap out - right in the middle of an urgent contract!! Dang Cleetus!!
Any suggestions - apart from re-installing the program?
Cheers,
John

Tried renaming InDesign Saved data and InDesign Defaults and restarting InDesign - that didnt seem to fix the problem - after re-starting InDesign it seemed the program didnt write new versions of the files on re-start.
Will head back to the office & connect to my 23" display & see if ID works OK with that - that would confirm that it's a screen pointing issue?
Would re-installing ID help?
Cheers,
John

InCopy CS4 (PC) / InDesign CS4 (mac) not working

My client and I are trying to establish an InCopy CS4 (PC) / InDesign CS4 (Mac) workflow. Neither of us has ever used InCopy and we are all getting frustrated now that our first production cycle has come and gone and the client is not recouping the money they invested on this software. Our trial system was successful for awhile and then it just stopped. The client says she can't open the icma/icml files and they need the indd file. So I send a new batch of files with the indd included and still no luck.
I'm saving the assigments like I've been saving in our initial trial run. In ID I go to Incopy > Export > Add all Stories to Assignment. That creates the content folder and the .icma files. I zip everything and send it off via email attachment.
Is there something I am doing wrong? Something my client needs to do? I prefer not to have to send the indd file. Should I have to do that for them to edit in Incopy? I appreciate any advice. Thank you. Lynn

Don't zip the files, that won't work.ID/IC is meant to work on a local server w/local staff. For a remote workflow you have to use a special technique.
After you create the assignment, use the Package for InCopy command in the Assignments panel.That creates an ICAP file that you send to the client.
When the double-click the ICAP file, it unpacks (it's like a zip file) on their computer and the assignment opens in InCopy. They work on the stories, and when they're done, they use the Return for InDesign command in *their* Assignments panel menu. That creates an IDAP file that they send to you.
When you open the IDAP file, it unpacks, looks for the INDD file (be sure not to rename or move it in the meantime), and updates the stories w/the editors changes.
Those are the broad strokes. It's covered more thoroughly in the online help file of both ID and IC ... you *and* your client should read up on it. And I cover it very thoroughly (4 videos ... Chapter 15) in my online Lynda.com tutorial on the CS4 workflow:
http://www.lynda.com/home/DisplayCourse.aspx?lpk2=651

Since updating to Mavericks my mac book pro locks up about 3 to 4 times a day, only way to recover is a hard reboot

Since updating to mavericks my mac boook pro locks up 3 to 4 times a day, the only way to recover is to hard reboot the system. This started 2 days ago - about 15 days after upgrading. All teh apps are visible just can't do anything with them.

Please determine if the problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.

CS4 Mac Compatibility

I'm sure I'm asking the obvious, but since I'd like to
upgrade to CS4, I want to make sure before I buy.
The system requirements for Flash CS4 (Mac) mention Mac OS X
v10.4.11–10.5.4. I have OS X 10.5.5.
Does this make any difference?
Please reply when you get the chance.
Thank you,
Peter

probably export from pc to something decent and import that to mac...
might be best solution
ps...just built this camera and fcp on mac does good job of using QT intermediate files etc for editing...even with prores...and so on...
theres no such thing as "pc vs mac" ...its more like "what works well "...and in the long run ( I might add ) its probably dpx stuff for final...which neither one has a handle on at this point...

ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR CS4 MAC pierde la ruta de las imágenes enlazadas

Hola,
ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR CS4 MAC pierde la ruta de las imágenes enlazadas, en cuanto lo gravas para originales. Si lo abres desde un cd tienes que volver a vincular, y puede crear confusión al proveedor ¿existe alguna solución? gracias

Hola creo que no me explicado bien,
Tu tienes una raíz de trabajo con archivo .ai y sus imágenes en una carpeta, lo gravas en un cd para el proveedor.
Abre el cd y el .ai no encuentra las imágenes, que siguen estando en la misma carpeta que hemos gravado. Por lo tanto tienes que tener desperdigadas
dentro de la carpeta de .ai, si no se pierde el enlace. También pierdes el enlaze se mueves la carpeta con todo el contenido. Es un error de programa los
demás programas no dan este problema. Se tiene solucionar.
Gracias

Prmiere CS4 / Encore HD(footage) on dvd4.7gb problems

Hi guys!
I like to create a nice custom build dvd (standard dvdR 4.7gb ) with menus and transitions from my recorded video clips (" AVCHD Video (.mts) ") with my JVC camera. i know how to work in encore cs4 and premiere pro cs4. the only thing i dont know is what formats to use and resulution so i will not loose any of my hd quality.
Can i use my HD footage from my camera ( those .mts files), and have them pre-rendered with premiere pro as .m2v files and import them to Encore so i can build my project and play them on my dvd player on tv without loosing any quality?
Can anyone help me out telling my i can do best and why? so i have more understanding of how to keep the same quality of my " AVCHD Video (.mts) " files or atleast a very high quality for my DVD4.7gb dvds if HD is not possible.

thank you so much everyone out here for the great support. i really appriciate it.
@ Ann
Re: Prmiere CS4 / Encore HD(footage) on dvd4.7gb problems
You have several options;
[quote]
1. To keep it in highest quality you will have to burn it to BluRay (BR), which means a BR burner and a BR player
If you do not have a hdtv and a standalone BR player you can play your BR on pc (e.g. Power DVD) or Playstation.
[/quote] This is minor issue at the moment, but in the future i will surely buy one .
[quote]
2. Burn your movie to DVD in HD quality. This means you make a BR iso (fully authored with a menu) and burn it to DVD with e.g. Nero.
You do not need a burner just a player: either pc, or standalone. About 20 minutes movie length on a SL and about double on a double layer although not all players like DL.
[/quote]
[quote]
3. You burn your movie in SD to DVD. Downscaling of the HD footage either in Premiere or in Encore.
[/quote] this is actually what i did Ann, i scaled the origional footage (*.mts ) in my "DV Ntsc(720x480)widescreen" sequence in premiere and then EXPORT Media and have Adobe Media Encoder render it out as m2v files with i supose the same quality, but i guess here is the problem were it went wrong. im not sure though.
doest is matter what sequence type i choose and if so whats the best one for my AVCHD footage?
i set my sequence to "DV Ntsc(720x480)widescreen" coz i know that a dvd , standard-definition video needs to be :
Frame rates and sizes for standard-definition video formats are as follows.
Standard
NTSC
PAL
Frame rate (frames per second)
29.97
23.976*
23.978*
24*
25
Frame size (pixels)
720 x 480
720 x 486
704 x 480
720 x 576
704 x 576
Frame rates and sizes for standard-definition video formats are as follows.
so i choose the in green displayed formats for my widescreen dvd, thats correct right ?

RAW-Converter CS4 MAC - "Benutzerdefinierte Einstellungen" nicht übertragbar

Im RAW-Converter CS4 MAC kann man zwar, wie gewohnt, mehrere Bilder synchronisiert mit denselben Einstellungen bearbeiten, wenn man aber nur ein Bild aus der Liste bearbeitet und dessen "Benutzerdefinierte Einstellungen" auf das nächste Bild übertragen will (nächstes Bild anklicken und in der Liste neben "Grundeinstellungen" auf "Benutzerdefinierte Einstellungen" klicken), so geschieh nichts! In CS3 funktionierte das! Weiß jemand Rat und Hilfe?

Ich habe CS4 in Windows. Damit kann ich die ACR Einstellungen speichern

Leider kenne ich mich mit der deutschen PS Version nicht aus, kann daher die

Video Filter missing: AE.ADBE Fast Blur - Premiere Pro CS4 mac

Hi, I own the master collection package of the cs4 products for Mac, and I'm having this problem when trying to open a project made on premiere pro 1,5 (win). All files, effects and tittles where imported perfectly on my Mac after opening and saving the project on win premiere cs3. The only problem is the fast blur plugin. I get this error when opening the project on premiere cs4. I need to have the fast blur plugin working because I don't want to re-create the whole transitions of this 1 hr length project.
I tried copying the Fast_Blur.plugin from after effects and pasting it on my premiere pro plug-ins folder (/Applications/Adobe Premiere Pro CS4/Plug-ins) but with no luck, apparently premiere ignores it. Also tried to copy it to /Applications/Adobe Premiere Pro CS4/Adobe Premiere Pro CS4.app/Contents/Plug-ins/Common but this gave me several errors and the application not launching.
What can I do to use this plugin in premiere cs4 Mac?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Placed the afx cs4 Fast_Blur.plugin on /Applications/Adobe Premiere Pro CS4/Adobe Premiere Pro CS4.app/Contents/Frameworks/MediaCoreUI.framework/Fast_Blur.pluginand nothing... ignored as when placing it on Plug-Ins folder...
Where is this mediacore folder on win?
Thanks for the suggestion, but I think that the Mac CS4 afx "Fast_Blur.plugin" isn't comptible with the Mac CS4 Premiere.
I don't own a CS3 mac version... does anyone knows if it has the fast blur? I could try to use that file...
