Error message - can't run CS6 After Effects

Installed on my macbook pro with OSX 10.9.5 is the CS6 student edition master collection and for the past year I've been able to use all programs I've tried to use, however, when I went to use After Effects yesterday for the first time, I was unable to. I received the following error message: "You can't use this version of the application 'Adobe After effects CS6 with this version of OSX. You have Adobe After Effects CS6 11.0." So, I went to adobe.com and tried to download the upgrades 11.0.1, 11.0.2, 11.0.3, and 11.0.4. After downloading 11.0.4 and clicking on the red folder, I received the following error message for 'After Effects Trial - 11.0.4-mul-AdobeUpdater: "Update Failed. Could not be applied. Contact customer service." Tried this multiple times, no luck. So then I read more on the adobe site and ended up registering for Creative Cloud to obtain the updates for CS6. Adobe recognized that my computer had CS6, provided me with a list of updates, I chose to update all (which took an hour), then, according to the creative cloud, all of my software has been updated. Then I restarted my computer. However, when I clicked in finder/applications on AfterEffectsCS6, I received the same error message. Creative Cloud still says all of my apps were updated. However, After Effects still won't work and looking at the application on my computer, it still says version 11.0 and the date is last year. Why does Creative Cloud show that my programs have been updated and yet my applications don't reflect that? What do I need to do to get CS6 After Effects working? I have a school project due and I've already spent way too much time trying to figure out this problem at the expense of my project. Please help!

Chocchocm have you removed and reinstall Adobe After Effects CS6?  I would recommend using the uninstallers available in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder to remove your installed Adobe Creative software.  You can then reinstall Master Collection CS6 utilizing the retail installation files available at Download CS6 products.
If you need to locate your registered serial number it is available under you account at http://www.adobe.com/.  You can find additional details on how to locate the registered serial number at Find your serial number quickly.

  • Error message "You are running an operating system that After Effects no longer supports. Refer to the system requirements for a full list of supported platforms." when trying to download free trial of after effects. What do I do?

    I need help, I am an idiot and have an assignment due today at 1:30pm. I thought that I would be able to do a simple download, but I get this error msg and I don't know what other options I have. Is it 100% impossible for me to download this on my machine?

    Hi ,
    I am afraid you would not be able to use After Effects CC 2014 and CC, as there were not testes on version 10.6.8.
    I have two suggestions to make for you.

    Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
    Mac OS X v10.8 or v10.9
    4 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended)
    5 GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive fi le system or on removable flash storage devices)
    Additional disk space for disk cache (10 GB recommended)
    1440 x 900 display
    OpenGL 2.0–capable system
    QuickTime 7.6.6 software required for QuickTime features
    Optional: Adobe-certified GPU card for GPU-accelerated ray-traced 3D renderer
    Internet connection and registration are necessary for required software activation, validation of subscriptions, and access to online services.*

    Many thanks.
    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Error message "Can't open the illustration." - HELP

    I work for a small company in the product development area and we use AI every day, all day. We work on PCs (windows 7) in AI CS6 design standard.
    About a week and a half ago, I got the error message "Can't open the illustration." I then proceeded to recreate my file that was lost, once saved and closed, the same error message popped up after trying to reopen. The file was recreated by another person, and the same error message occurred. This has now happened to 5 of my files and a handful of files created by coworkers.
    The error seems to be completely random, as we have been able to create other files without a glitch. The other odd thing, is that the one person who uses a mac in our creative department was able to open our 'lost' files as single pages on her AI CS4.
    Please help!
    Thank you.

    We have tried both saving the files on our company server and on our individual desktops - neither of which will open the files.
    Fonts are ok - they are all created and saved in CS6.
    Printers, I believe are all correctly set up.
    We tried a complete reinstall on one PC - still running into the same random files ending up 'lost' with the same error message.
    Originally, the cs6 design standards (6 licenses total) were loaded to the server/shared drive and then downloaded onto each PC from there - we believe this may have something to do with the corruption, but this problem has just begun within the last month and the programs were all downloaded over 6 months ago.

  • I can't update itunes. I get error message can't find "itunes.msi". What can I do?

    What can I do to download updated itunes. I get error message can't locate "itunes.msi." folder.

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
