  • Premiere & AE CC will not launch/respond on new iMac

    I bought a brand new iMac last week in order to complete a video project.
    I'm running OS 10.9, and installed the Premiere Pro and After Effects CC Trials yesterday.
    NEITHER program will complete launch with the "Admin User" account I imported from my old Mac, but they WILL launch and work fine from a NEW "Admin User" account I created as a test. 
    I ran the Adobe CLEANER, did uninstalls and re-installs of BOTH programs and the Adobe CC Desktop. No luck.
    This is what happens:
    Premiere spends a couple minutes trying to launch...and then fails.  The launch graphic sits there for a couple minutes, then seems like it might be making progress.  "Loading ExporterQuickTimeHost.bundle"hits the progress screen, and after 30 seconds of that "Adobe Premiere Pro CC quit unexpectedly."
    After Effects gives an error immediately upon launch
    "After Effects warning: Could not rename the file '/Users/drleek/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/12.1/Workspaces.2147.1407351242514081.xml' to 'Workspaces.xml'."
    with an additional error
    "After Effects can’t continue: unexpected failure during application startup"
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

    Hey blankenship and cmiller815,
    Not sure if you ever got the problem fixed, but I was having the same issue you described and was able to find a solution.  I tried all the troubleshooting steps outlined in this discussion; deleting prefs, uninstall, re-install, etc.  and found that the answer was to go to the folder in the prefs /Users/username/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/12.1/Workspaces.2147.1407351242514081.xml'  and to set the permissions to allow read and write for all users on the machine on the main 12.1 folder.  I should add that I also ran a permissions repair using disk utility thinking that it would resolve my issue but it didn't.  It seems that for some reason the permissions got messed up after doing my data migration with migration assistant to my new iMac. 
    I was prompted to try this from because of this thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/5863018#5863018
    I hope this helps and that you figure out your issue.

  • Photoshop elements 13 will not print to my new epson wf-7620 error message;default printer could not be opened

    frustrated! photoshop elements 13 will not print to my new epson wf-7620 error message;default printer could not be opened

    I haven't been able to try this fix, but someone emailed me the below fix:
    I had same problem.Elements13 would not open my new default printer, but worked ok on four other versions of Elements. No help from Adobe, after three days of searching & phoning adobe , I found out by:- Going into Elements 13, Press Edit button, down to "Preferences and across to general. Press the "Reset Preferences on next launch". I then suggest you go through each section to make sure that your chosen preference are still ticked/checked in.
    It worked for me. Hope same for you.
    I'm planning on trying this fix soon.  Let me know how it goes for you if you get to try it before me.  Will do the same.  Thanks,
    Chad

  • Photoshop Elements 10 will not launch from it's tile in windows 8

    Photoshop Elements 10 will not launch(open) from it's tile in windows 8,if I restart the computer then try it, it launches. but once I close the program and try to launch it agian from the tile it won't launch  (open)
    What going on ?

    You might unpin (Unpin from Start) the photoshop elements 10 shortcut from the start screen and then go to
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10 and right click on the PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe and choose Pin to Start.
    And/or if you want an shortcut on the actual desktop you can use Send to>Desktop (create shortcut)
    Perhaps the shortcut directly to the pse 10 editor will work better when using the start screen.

  • Help Elements 12 will not launch

    Please help, Elements 12 will not launch..no problems with previous versions or Premeir Elements 12 or Lightroom 4.

    Hi Barbara,
    I'm running Win7, i7 precessor, plenty of RAM. I've purchased/upgraded from Elements/Premier 9,10,11 without issue..Since upgrading to Elements 12 the software opens sporatically at best. I've spent 15+hr's and $60.00 with Adobe Support and still not resolved. Cannot open PremierElements or Lightroom 5 either. Here's what happens..I click on the icon and the timer spins for 5 or 6 seconds and stops. This happens most often after my computer re-boots for maintenance. I've changed the permissions and thought it was fixed but after a week the same thing happens..I've unistalled and reinstalled more times then you can imagine.
    I do appreciate any help you can offer..works fine on my laptop runnning Win8
    Thanks,
    a very frustrated Mike

  • Photoshop Elements 4 will not launch

    I have installed Photoshop Elements 4 on my MacBook. Photoshop Elements 4 is a PowerPC app. (not Universal). From what I've read, it should open with Rosetta. But every time I try to open it, I get an error message: "The application Photoshop Elements quit unexpectedly." I've uninstalled and installed several times.
    I've tried going to File>Get Info so see if I could make this PowerPC app open under Rosetta, but that choice is not available under "General".
    Is there any way I can use this non-universal program in my intel-based Mac?
    I guess what I'm really asking is whether Photoshop Elements 4 for Mac (PowerPC) is supported by Rosetta (since it's not a universal application). If it's not supported, I suppose that means I can't use it on my intel-based MacBook.
    Thanks for the help.
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Barbara---
    I have had PE 4.0 running on my MacBook Pro 17" for about a year. Two days ago I tried launching PE 4.0 like normal and it fails. On the advice of Apple I tried creating a new account. The error message on install says a file is missing. It does not say which file. Installation continues until completed but PE 4.0 will not launch. I also trashed absolutely every Adobe file I could find, including preferences, repaired permissions, etc., reinstalled PE 4.0. Still no joy. I am running 10.4.9 with the last update about two weeks ago. PE 4.0 would lanuch and run fine until two days ago. Any suggestions?
    Thanks...

  • Any fix for why my photoshop elements 12 will not launch?

    Hi - had to get new computer after old one died... reinstalled (twice) Photoshop Elements 12 and now it will not launch.  When I click on icon, the first screen open allowing me to select between the Organizer and Editor.  When I click on Editor, nothing happens... never launches.  Seems this has happened to others, anyone know how to fix?
    Thanks!! 

    Did you ever use Help> Sign In to activate it? Both entering a serial number and signing in are required (once signed in you don't ever sign out unless you want to deactivate the software).
    The advice here - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1452533?tstart=0 - should allow the software to restart so that you can activate it.

  • Elements 12 will not launch (either)

    I have been using Elements since version 3. It has been a great program - until version 10 arrived. It works, but not satisfactorily. If I quit the program it will not launch unless I reboot, and the welcome screen does not launch at all.
    Version 11 never worked. Task manager shows that it is loading, but nothing else happens. No error messages.The Editor seems to work, though, but the Organizer does not. So for a year I have been very frustrated, not being able to use the program I had paid for. Nevertheless I bought version 12, and hoped that this version would work. Bur so far I have had no success. The Editor launches, but the Welcome screen and the Organizer do not. I am using Win7 64 bit, 8 Gb ram. None of the suggestions in this forum have been to any help. So what do I do? Øivind

    I have tried different suggestions - especially to make PSE 11 to work. Deinstalling and reinstalling and running the organizer.exe file as administrator from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 11 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe" or "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe" (this works in PSE 10). There is no status.dat and psa.prf to delete, they were probably never created in PSE 11 and PSE 12. I have posted the log file from PSE 11 - it is very short:

    Something happens when "Begin AMT Library calls" is running in PSE 11 and 12. I do not know what this is, and no one have commented this in my earlier postings. I have been adviced to run a utility called " Adobe Creative suite cleaner tool", but I am afraid that it will remove my PSE catalog as well, and that would be very inconvenient. I have more than 40 000 photos in my catalog. Øivind

  • Edit function of Photoshop Elements 8 will not launch, suggestions?

    When the "edit" buttion is selected it simply times out/resets itself and will not launch the application however, the organizer still seems to be functioning.

    If PSE8 uses an Unwelcome Screen, bypass the Unwelcome Screen by creating Desktop shortcuts for the Organizer and the Editor, and restarting your computer.
    The Editor's executable is:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    The Organizer's executable is:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
    The Unwelcome Screen leaves a zombie process running which prevents the actual program from launching again.

  • Foxfire 4.0 will not launch, just down new loaded, to MAC G4 and clicked on new Icon. Any Help.

    Downloaded upgrade 4.0 into Mac Applications and dragged New Icon into Shortcuts. The a window popped up stating a new security update needs to be installed. Clicked install and it run ... connecting to server for several minutes, but never seemed to connect.
    In the mean time I tried to open 4.0 from shortcut and was prompted with will not launch -10661? Why? And the update, is probably still running to connect to server on my other computer for all I know, and not connecting.
    I also noticed that in the install window where you drag the product into the application box, right above the Icon to drag there was a confusing statement that said 1 of 2.
    So after I dragged Icon once into applications and finished install I dragged the Icon a second time to see if there was a second part. But all that happened was an over write to the initial install. How can I get this new version to run?
    Never had any sort of problem downloading and running on my Sony PC, by the way ... there both laptops.

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

  • Photoshop Elements 10 will not launch any longer in VISTA

    I have had PSE 10 for a year or 2 and never had a problem.  It was working on Friday, had a Java Update, then on Saturday PSE will not launch in Vista.  We have recovered the computer to a previous date and that did not work.  We uninstalled PSE and reinstalled and still will not launch.  Need to know what the fix would be to correct this.
    Any help out there?
    Thanks, Dean

    What isn't working? The welcome screen, the editor, the organizer? Can you launch either of the latter if you go into the program files and try directly from their .exe files?

  • Photoshop Elements 8 will not launch

    I have Photoshop Elements 8 on my Sony Vaio (windows 7 Home Premium 64bit). Whenever I launch it a License Agreement pops up and when I accept it
    the software does not launch. There is no application open in my Task Manager.
    I thought I would uninstall it and reinstall it but when I go to My Products page in Adobe I can see Photoshop Elements 8 as a
    product in use but I cannot download it.
    I installed Photoshop Elements 11 Trial version but have the same problem.
    Please help

    If Organizer fails to launch, try following steps –
    - Delete the Organizer preferences. For that, go to Start>Run>Type %appdata%. In the launched folder, browse to Adobe>Elements Organizer>11.0>Organizer- Delete the file psa.prf and status.dat.
    - Try re-launcing Organizer.
    Or
    It could be that your catalog got corrupted.
    To fix that, hold down your Shift key while launching the Organizer. This would open up the Catalog Manager. Highlight your catalog at the bottom of the window, and choose "Repair" and then "Optimize".
    If that does not work either, try renaming the following folders and then try launching the application again:-
    1) Online Services
    2) Elements Organizer
    These folders are present at :- C:\Users\<current user>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe.
    Hope any of these work for you.

  • Photoshop Elements 10 will not launch

    I get the message Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 has stopped working - a problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
    I've tried suggestions on the web, and have got it to reopen such as holding down shift and CRTL at the same time as launching it, that worked once. I then make the mistake of closing the program, and then it won't relaunch.
    I've turned off my virus program, and it opened once. And then I closed it like a dummy.
    I've rebooted.
    Now, I'm stuck and have a deadline to meet.

    Hi,
    Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
    Solution 1:
    1. Close Elements.
    2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
    3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
    Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
    Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
    Solution 4:
    On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
    Go  to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements  10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain  plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere  else.
    Now launch PSE and check if it works.
