CS4 Soundbooth Mac won't run

Installing the CS4 Soundbooth goes fine on Leopard/Intel, then on 1st run it says needs to download some codecs and that fails after about 25% or so. Then it starts normally and a few seconds later when the full SB interface is open, it just hard crashes closed. You can not click anything on the menu bar. I have tried two different source discs for the install and it has the same result. I have no such issue with photoshop cs4, acrobat etc. Anyone else ever see this on a mac install? Any ideas what else I could try? Thanks.

Durin-
Thank you.
I think I fixed the problem.
I ran Soundbooth with all startup programs turned off and it worked.
I then checked the applications loading on startup and
saw that the application "Hear" was one of those automatically
loading.
I eliminated "Hear" from the startup list and Soundbooth then
worked properly.
Thanks again. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I solved the
problem for good.

  • Updated my 2008 MacBook Pro to Mavericks. Tuneup for Mac won't run w/10.9.  what do I use for housekeeping?

    Updated my 2008 MacBook pro to Mavericks.Lost some programs that won't run on Mavericks.  One being Tuneup for Mac. Used for housekeeping and cleaning up the machine.  Can't figure out how run maintenance on drive w/o this.  Seached for scheduled maintenance in help, nothing.

    "Scheduled" maintenance is all done by the OS - there's nothing you should run for "housekeeping". DO yourself a favor with the new OS and read...

  • Upgrading from CS to CS4 on Mac; won't take serial?

    I've purchased and downloaded the CS4 upgrade and can launch it in Trial Mode, but when it searches for a "qualifying version" to upgrade, it won't take my serial number for the CS I am currently running. I guess it would be CS1 (v. 8.0).
    Also: I downloaded the CS4 upgrade, but in Trial Mode it's called CS4 Extended. Same thing?
    Thanks, from an admitted novice.

    First let's make sure what we're talking about.
    You mention CS being version 8. You're apparently talking about Photoshop, not one of the suites.
    I would suggest posting in the Photoshop forum and if that doesn't help, call Adobe. Install issues are handled free of charge.

  • Photoshop CS4 installs but won't run with Vista OS

    All,
    I have installed CS4 on Vista 64 and completed without any errors. I was able to bring up Bridge and go through it without any issues. However, when I try to run either CS4 or CS4 64 bit, it starts to load and says it has quit working, windows tries to find a fix and does not and shuts the program down. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.ef4a07f/1
    The location is different for Vista :
    C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4
    Note to moderator: needs updating!
    You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
    This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.

  • New install on Mac, won't run

    Just received and installed LV / Lego Mindstorms on a Mac running OS X 10.7. The installation seemed to proceed normally with no error messages. However, the software seems partially dysfunctional. 
    I began the first tutorial where you create a Robot Project. Entered a name, and saw a "path preview", clicked "Create" button. No further progress past this point:
    The "Robot Project Center" window did not appear as expected. It appears that no new files were created, and there is no folder called "Projects" in the NXT Robotics folder. The app then returns to the Getting Started window, and behaves as though I have done nothing.  I can't get any further with the new tutorial project. 
    There is no uninstaller on the disc, and the instructions in "uninstall.txt" are complex, time-consuming, and perhaps dangerous. (I get nervous trying to make a lot of manual deletions in my root directory and system folders. I'm afraid of screwing something up accidentally.)
    I'd appreciate help fixing this. I think I've gone about as far as I can. 

    Hi Dennyc,
    Sounds like the Robot Project Center is functional, but there must be an error creating the project on disk. Do you have write permissions to the NXT Robotics folder?
    The default location is Documents\LabVIEW Data\NXT Robotics\Projects.
    The Projects folder should be created the first time you create an NXT project.
    As a workaround, I have attached a blank robot project you can use as a template. Just double click the lvrbt file and it should open in the Robot Project Center.
    Hope this helps.

  • O.T.  New Macs Won't Run Tiger

    For information :
    Over on another Adobe Forum I came across a thread which pointed out that the latest Mac incarnations will not boot up with the Tiger software. So, if you or your software don't like
    Leopard,now installed as standard, you can't go back to 10.4xxxx

    This is true of all macs, Malcolm. They can never successfully boot from any version of the OS earlier than the one they ship with. So if your mac came with 10.4.7, it is iffish whether you can boot from a retail disk even of Tiger (which would have 10.4.0, of course.)
    That's always been the way. A mac that came with system 9 couldn't run system 7, either.

  • Mac won't run mavericks installer

    I have a problem with my mac. I formated my macbook and after that I tried to reinstall mavericks. It seems like it downloads but after it directs me back to the main menu. When I go into disk utility I can see that it has downloaded a mavericks installer but somehow it doesn't run it after download.
    Any sugestions to what the problem may be?

    At what location is Disk Utilities showing Mavericks ?

  • Mac won't run disk utilities from start-up disk

    I have an older Macbook Pro running OS 10.4.11. I need to run the disk utility from the cd to repair the disk drive, but when I restart holding down the C key, the machine still starts up in normal mode, not in disk utility mode. The disk I'm using is the iMac G5 startup disk, version 1 that came with one of my computers, not sure it came with the Macbook pro. If this is NOT the right disk to use, how can I get a new startup disk? Any helpful suggestions are welcome - this is a good working computer, and I'd like to keep it this way!

    You can call Apple (phone # at the bottom of this page) and, with your serial number handy, order a new set of discs that are specific to your machine. G5's were before Intel machines, so I wouldn't expect it to boot an Intel machine!
    Good luck,

  • Upgrading from Illustrator 10:  CS2 or CS3? (CS4 and CS5 do not run on my Mac)

    Provided I'm able to find a legitimate copy of the upgrade version from a reputable source, which one is the highest Mac version that one can upgrade from Illustrator 10?  CS2 or CS3?  Higher versions won't run on my PPC Mac anyway.
    I'm asking now because I just finished upgrading my ancient Acrobat Standard 5.x to Acrobat Professional 8 for under $29, shipped.  It turned out to be a sealed, unopened box, and I've registered it with Adobe already and collected the registration incentive received from Adobe (11 hours of training at lynda.com).
    Any input will be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    CS4 requires OS10.4.11 or newer.
    Basically, you can go all the way to CS4 or anything short of that. Without moving past the PPC chip and OS10.4.11.
    Since CS4 will work, CS3 will certainly work. I believe CS3 required OS 10.4.8 or newer. Checking my disk.... yup 10.4.8 or newer. I would simply look for whatever you can find, short of CS5. That itself may sort out what you can purchase.
    Actually thinking upgrades.. you're right. Only 3 versions. So for "upgrade" you're limited to CS3 from Ai10. CS3 will run great on a PPC with 10.4.11. I'd search for that if possible. I wouldn't settle for CS2.

    Your MacBook Pro can be updated to run Mac OS X "Snow Leopard". Buy it. That will enable you to run the latest iTunes version.

  • Indesign CS4 in Mac 10.6.8, sometimes won't show files, sometimes won't show tools

    Indesign CS4 in Mac 10.6.8, sometimes won't show files, sometimes won't show tools. Like I click to open a file from the finder, and Indesign makes that temporary file in the finder, but won't display the pages. At other times I can have the pages displayed but I can't open the tools such as the colour swatches or the paragraphy styles. This all happens at random, although I suspect it is more likely to happen if I have been working in some other program such as Typestyler or Aperture, and come back to Indesign. Kind of like Indesign gets snooty at me working in another program.
    I've done the thing of dicing the preferences, but so far the only workaround that has worked so far is quitting and restarting the program. I don't remember this happening so much until recently, in other words the problem seems to be getting more frequent.
    But I am wondering if this has happened with anyone else and if there are any other suggestions for avoiding it.
    Back in the good old days you would reinstall PageMaker and that would settle things for a while. But now I don't know if a program like Indesign CS4 actually gets corrupted and if it does I don't know what to do. Does the program get corrupted? And should you reinstall a fresh copy? If it's a good idea to reinstall the program how do you do that? Is it possible to download a fresh copy? And if I do, what happens when the fresh copy phones home? I've tangled with the Adobe Microsoft corporation before when Indesign phoned home and got a crossed line.

    Other things to try:
    Examine your specific version of Optima by going to Type menu > Find Font, clicking on the Optima font and choosing More Info (I think) and find the specific version number. See if you can uninstall the font and reinstall another Optima font with a different, preferably newer version number. There has (historically) been a bad version of Optima floating around for years. Maybe you have it.
    Use a free utility like FontNuke or FontFinagler to get your Mac OS to reset its font plists. Sometimes that makes the OS feel better.
    Use the built-in Disk Utility to repair file permissions. You never know.
    Export your old document out to IDML and reopen that resulting idml file back into a new freshly written INDD file. This might remove internal database corruptions.
    All these are chicken-soup things to try and they might be good for you.
    Best,

  • I am trying to update my mac to os x snow leopard but the cd won't run on my computer

    I am trying to update my mac to os x snow leopard but the cd won't run on my computer. I'm using an external dvd hardrive but I don't see why that would make a difference in wether or not it runs.

    Well, that may be the cause of the no install problem, as Snow Leopard does require at least 1gB of RAM. The Apple link below will show how it is installed.
