Encore CS6 Mac won't start

I'm using Encore CS6 Mac, OS 10.7.3 (Lion). Suddenly, the program wont start, it just hangs up after the splash screen comes on. I can't seem to find any preference files to delete for Encore. Anyone have any ideas?

I don't know the versions by number, but think this page was prior to Lion?
In any event, a variety of options.
Troubleshoot system errors and freezes | Adobe software on Mac OS 10.x

So previously working okay? That often indicates an update (usually non-adobe) has changed a driver or other os file that is necessary for encore.
If you find a solution, I would quickly move to a repair install.

DW CS6 Mac won't start

I just did an upgrade of CS5 Master Suite to CS6 Master Suite. I first did an uninstall on CS5. Then I installed CS6. Every other application in CS6 works fine except DW. It starts, bounces the icon once or twice and then quits. I checked the folder permissions under ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS6 and they are fine (R/W for me and staff)
Any ideas would be appreciated.

I had the exact same problem - however my Dreamweaver wasn't even creating prefs - Adobe Live Chat helped me solve it.
Create a new Admin Login User in your System Prefs>Accounts.
Restart with this new Admin User.
Dreamweaver should now start up and create prefs - User>Library>Application Support>Adobe>Dreamweaver 6
Copy the Dreamweaver 6 Folder and paste somewhere on your HD that you will remember (eg Applications Folder).
Restart with your normal User Account.
Move the Dreamweaver 6 Prefs Folder into your User>Library>Application Support>Adobe folder
Dreamweaver should now start up using these prefs.

Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. How do I get and install the right version of Camera Raw?

Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. I was told to update Camera Raw to at least 7.2. I tried to download this but got a DNG Converter instead. Where is Camera Raw? (it does not show up in a search of my hard drive. There is a folder of camera profiles but no extension or plug-in with this name). How do I find out what version I have already? How do I get the correct version? . . . OR . . . is it the case that Bridge will never open Sony raw files directly and I will have to do a separate conversion process every time I want to use a raw file??. Can someone explain this?
Thanks.

Mac won't start (Kernel Panics)

Hello,
My mac won't start up. It turns on, gets as far as the spinning circle and apple logo then a dark screen comes down with a Kernel Panic message. This occurred roughly three months ago and I ended up taking the mac into the regent street store where it was fixed under apple care warranty. My care has now run out, and the 90 day repair warranty has expired but the problem is back so obviously hasn't been fixed properly. Is there anything that can be done about this?
Every time I boot up the computer the message appears, I have tried rebooting with the safe option as well as re installing OSX from the original disks. The install completes successfully but upon restart it pops up with the original kernel panic message.
Luckily I have everything backed up so am prepared to try anything to get it running.
Thanks.

Let us know, but since you obviously have another machine, have you tried Target Disk Mode and then Disk Utility?
use TDM to access Disk Utility.
1. Click the First Aid tab.
2. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
3. Select your Mac OS X volume.
4. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
Please post back,

Your Mac won't start up in Mac OS X (Mac OS X 10.3.9 or earlier)

I just got off the phone with an AppleCare agent. My iBook OS 10.4 wouldn't start - it just went to a blue screen. I'm happy to say that the agent got everthing working again and said that she would email me an article that would help if it ever happens again. She emailed me "Your Mac won't start up in Mac OS X (Mac OS X 10.3.9 or earlier)" I have 10.4, is this article any use for me or was I emailed the wrong articel. Is there an article "Your Mac won't start up in Mac OS X (Mac OS X 10.4 or later)"????

Thank you for yoiur response. I'll click on that link and add my input..
Don't be put off by the title. The document's just as
valid for Tiger, especially if those are the same
steps that fixed your problem. The article was
revised Feb 2006 and someone forgot to update it to
mention Tiger. Go to
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106464
, click on the It's good, but... link and
tell them it should be updated to include a reference
to Tiger.

TS1411 My Mac won't start

My Mac won't start. I have tried all trouble shooting things like unplug and plug into a different power point. If I leave finger on start button, can sometimes get internal fan to attempt to start then stops. Please help. My computer is less than two years old.

Then, it's time for a trip to an Apple repair station.

My Mac won't start up and Im using DiscWarrior. When I restart the computer with "c" down, the screen goes black. Is this ok? Do I just wait it out?

If it still does not work, Restart using your 10.5 Install DVD as the boot volume holding down C from chime sound to apple logo appearance, then after selecting your language from the menu bar go to Utilities > Disk Utilities, and run Repair Disk on your Mac's HDD. Afterwards, exit DU, exit Install, restart normally.

I Mac won't start -- we get apple logo with spinning wheel, question mark that disappears and then a blank blue screen

My daughter's old I Mac won't start. It is not backed up. We want to get some things off of it if we can.
When we turn it on, we get the Apple logo with spinning wheel for awhile, then a question mark briefly and then a sky blue blank screen. Is there any hope of getting this to work? This computer is out of warranty. Does it seem that if we reinstall the Operating System we might find old data?

First try restarting with the original install disc an run Disk Utility to repair the drive. If you have to re install the OS make sure you select archive and install or else everything will be lost.

Acrobat Pro for Mac won't start, even after restarting the machine. Any suggestions?

Hi Patrick,
Can you please mention the version of Adobe Acrobat that you are using and on what OS version. Also mention whether this problem has started recently and was running fine earlier or is it a fresh install and has never worked for you.
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the product after you started facing this issue.

Mac won't start blinking folder with ?

Hello have a question, my mac won t start, it appears a folder with a ? Inside....can anybody help me.....

That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

Mac won't start after failed OS upgrade

I attempted to upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard using an installation disc. The installion failed and now my mac won't start. It hangs on the apple logo screen for about 2 minutes then dies. I've tried booting from the disc and using the repair disk utility but I get an error saying the disk can't be repaired and instructing me to back up my files and erase the disk. Problem is, I can't get to my files because all I can do is boot from the disc drive. Can anyone suggest a way get the installion to work, or a way to back up my files?
iMac is 3 years old, 4 Gb ram and 2.66 Gh processor
Any help would be much appreciated.

Possibly we can save some of the files.
When booted from the Install Disc...
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
Hopefully you have another external drive and can Image the whole internal drive to an external.

Mac won't start up and shows grey screen

My mac won't start up this morning ? It has a full charge of battery and even plugged in it just shows the grey screen. Any help.

Please restart your Mac and hold the 'Option'-key to see your start-up discs. If you do not see any start-up discs it could be your hard disk cable that is faulty. This is a common problem with Macbooks, but I am not sure this issue has been fixed with the Retina models. I've had this problem with my 2012 Pro, and a new cable did the job. Very easy to do yourself!
You can also start Internet Recovery (need wifi or cable) and start up Disk Utilities to see if your hard disk shows up there.
Please let me know.
