Fireworks CS5 not opening.

Hey.
So here's my problem.
I've been using Fireworks (On Windows) for years but have recently jumped over to Mac OSX Snow Leopard and CS5 Master Collection.
Now, my whole suite works perfectly, I can open PS, DW, everything, and they work beautifully.
When I open FW, the icon loads in the dock for a couple seconds and then disappears as if I had just closed it.
As I am fairly new to OSX I am struggling to diagnose the problem,
any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Rou.

Yep, that would do it alright. I thought it was a 64 bit application.
I have contacted Alien Skin to see what the story is with running both 64 bit and 32 bit versions of the plugins on the same machine. I'm assuming that, presuming I can get access to the 32 bit installers, installing them directly into Fireworks own plugins folder will work if the Photoshop Plug-Ins checkbox is unchecked.
I will update this thread when I have a definitive response from Alien Skin.
Cheers
SJ

AE CS5 not opening with 'installizing media core'

I just updated my mac pro laptop to an 0SX 10.9 and installed my adobe suite cs5.

Many thanks for your response. Miraculously CS5 is has just started working on my Mavericks, after a few failed attempts at downloading CSS.

You should have checked the forums or at least system requirements before upgrading to Mavericks. After Effects CS5 is not compatible with Mavericks. You will have to revert or upgrade.

I did not use my computer yesterday, and now all of a sudden, Firework does not open at all after clicking on its icon or starting as a program. I did not download any upgrades or anything else, and I have Norton 360 version 3. I can open Internet Explorer, but that's not my default browser, so I have no problem with the Internet connection.
What could be the problem, how can I restore my browser without losing my bookmarks, settings, etc?

If you close Firefox, then start Firefox in Safe Mode, does the problem still occur? For instructions on starting in Safe Mode, see [[Safe Mode]]. Extensions can sometimes be the cause of problems. If the problem does not occur in Safe Mode, then you can disable your extensions one-by-one until you find out which one is causing the problem.

Fireworks CS5 not finding Photoshop plug-ins

I recently installed Alien Skin Eye Candy 6 and Exposure 3 64-bit plug-ins. They are in my Photoshop plugins folder.
When I open the Fireworks preferences and select this as the Photoshop plug-ins folder, the plug-ins are not available in Fireworks. I just get the standard Fireworks list and "Photoshop Live Effects".
I tried trashing the preferences to no avail, and tried on a new user account - and really just can't understand why it is failing entirely to find the 3rd party plugins. Its no big deal - I hardly ever use them... but would still like to have them in the tank should they be needed for any reason.
Any help gratefully received.
Cheers,

Fireworks CS6 not opening files

Hi,
I installed the trial version of CS6 (Mountain Lion) the other day and created some files, the same files opened for me on another computer using CS5 (Mountain Lion) whilst I was waiting for the full version to get installed onto my Mac.
For some reason now the files are either corrupt or not opening (Could not complete your request, an error has occurred or unknown file type).
The only difference between the two installations of CS6 is that I only downloaded the trial version of individual products and now I've installed the whole master suite.
Please help!!

I am able to open files again after restarting Fireworks (Fireworks CS6 on OSX Mountain Lion). Pretty scary bug though, I really don't like the feeling of not being able to open any of my source files--files that have multiple pages worth of work that I would never be able to retrieve with another program.
Where is Adobe in this discussion?? Is Fireworks going to be made more stable?
How I feel about Fireworks right now is not great. I look really unprofessional when people ask me for something and my response is... "Sorry, my files seem to be corrupt let me just take 30 minutes to figure out what's wrong"

Fireworks will not open local files

I use a Web Page to have students navigate to either web
sites or local (c: drive) files for their classes. I cannot get
Fireworks to open the local files, but I can create hyperlinks in
Dreamweaver and they work fine. I am trying to create a popup menu!
Hyperlink in Dreamweaver =
file:///C|/mts/course/index_mts.html
Placed in Fireworks popup menu, will not open the file.
Any thoughts?

Please note that Fireworks is an image/web graphic editing
application, while Dreamweaver is a HTML authoring application.
Fireworks cannot open HTML files, only Dreamweaver can open
html files. Fireworks only exports simple HTML-generated for
certain simple, basic pop-up menus. But it is not recommended,
though. Best if you create menus in HTML/CSS around Dreamweaver
than Fireworks.

Why does after effects cs5 not open in yosemite?

i haven't used after effects in a year...but in that time i have installed Yosemite
is this the cause of the app to not open?

It's not difficult to find; it's on the system requirements page.
Now, I have heard of some folks getting CS5.5 (and maybe CS5) to run on Yosemite, but without further explanation from you on what sort of behavior you're experiencing, nobody could really help. For example, some folks launched AE with no difficulty, but with any effect that used an eyedropper to pick colors, it would crash. This was fixed by changing the preferences to use the system color picker. Some folks couldn't get it to run at all.
If you can't get CS5 to run and you can't go back to an earlier OS, you could always upgrade. You can still purchase CS6 from Adobe.
However, since you haven't used AE in over a year, perhaps it's more of a hobby? In which case, the upgrade pricing for the Creative Cloud might be a pretty attractive option. I like the Creative Cloud because you can get the latest version (and old versions all the way down to CS6) for a pretty low monthly fee. If you paid to upgrade every new version, the subscription model actually saves a bit of money. It's also less hassle and much easier to deal with than a huge lump-sum payment to upgrade. Plus you get all the cool cloud features too, like being able to save a project to your cloud folder and opening it on a different machine somewhere else.

32 bit HDR from CS5 not opening in Aperture 3

Hello All,
I shoot in RAW and utilize Aperture 3 to do basic edits and archive my photos. When utilizing HDR, I first import to Aperture and then open the raw files in CS5 as PSD files. After running them through HDR Pro and getting either a PSD or TIFF file I then try to import the product back to Aperture 3 where it will not open properly. It is displayed as either a grey thumbnail or what looks like a noisy television screen. I have no clue what is causing this. When I run the PSD files through HDR Pro as 16 bit I have no problem importing it back to Aperture 3. Aperture is currently running in 64 bit mode on my computer. Hope there is something simple I'm overlooking. Thanks in advance!
-Adam

Jim, the point where the file becomes 32bit is not on export from LR, but once you're in the "Merge to HDR Pro" tool inside of PS. Your LR prefs are fine.
When all the images are open and merged, and you're looking at the HDR tool inside of PS, look for the dropdown menu called "Mode" on the upper right. Pull this down and set it to 32bit. All of your tone-mapping tools will vanish, but this is simply because a 32bit file doesn't need to be re-mapped -- it contains all the data anyway. You'll be able to perform all the edits you need back in LR, which will treat this 32bit file somewhat like a real RAW file.
Here's the part where Victoria's advice kicks in. You have to save the resulting file as a 32bit TIFF, or LR won't read it. My computer automatically makes it a TIFF anyway, so it should be pretty easy from here.

CS5 not opening Raw

CS5 not opening CS4 project

This is the message that I get when I try to open a project created in PPro CS4 in CS5.
"This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview present file or codec could be associated wiht this sequence type."
It shows all of the media loading at the bottom and confoming of files but then send me back to the welcome screen after I close the message.
Any suggestions on why CS5 is not playing nice with my CS4 projects?

Sounds logical but I completely turned off the firewall, restarted the computer, and still no luck.
By the way, as a preemptive strike against the posts that will ask me about being an old computer or having a ton of weird codecs - the computer was just built, everything is very clean and CS4 runs like a charm.
Any other suggestions?

Photoshop Cs5 not opening files

I'm not actually completely sure if this is an issue with Mavericks because the problem started about 2 1/2 weeks ago, but my Photoshop Cs5 won't open files anymore. As soon as the app launches, I can click on "open..." but as I'm selecting the file, the window will close and after that, every choice on all the drop-down menus is grayed out and can no longer be selected. I've already installed Java for OS X 2012-006 with no luck, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling PS Cs5 with no luck. Help pleaseeeeeee D:

Reset your Photoshop preferences: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776
Uninstalling and reinstalling WON'T do that unless you used the CS Cleaner from Adobe to uninstall.
Also, check your Performance preferences:
Toggle OpenGL drawing, quitting Photoshop between changes.

CS5 not opening CS5 project!!

I am having this same problem in a FULL install of CS5. I am on a Mac, using all MOV footage encoded with CineForm NeoScene (and yes, I have the most recent versions of the codecs installed for everything). I have one sequence that is dynamic linked from After Effects, and it has given me no trouble so far. The project was started in CS5 about a week ago, and I have worked on it several times since. I have closed, opened, edited and exported it without trouble. Until today.
Now I am getting the dreaded "This project contained a sequece that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type" error. Never mind how unnerving it is that the error uses the past-tense, making it sound like all hope is lost.
I similarly get returned to the "Welcome" pane offering me new or recent projects to open (I should probably disable that), and the project I am trying to open never comes up. It won't open at all, so I can't check the sequence settings to see what's going on. As I mentioned, it all opened and worked fine two days ago, and as far as I know nothing has changed in my system since then.
This is a big problem, since I need to make edits to this project, and I am hoping not to have to start it again from the ground up.
Does my lack of ability to open the project at all indicate a bigger problem? Could it have something to do with Dynamic Link (it doesn't matter if I have that lnked file open in AE, I still can't open the Premiere project). I have restarted and tried opening it fresh, no luck.
Can anyone give me some quick guidance with this? Thank you!
Matt

Yep, turned out it was the dreaded Trial-reversion bug on an update. I uninstalled, cleaned, and reinstalled then updated from Bridge, and everything seems to be working well.
I did have some distinct playback problems at first, but I dug in and found that nVidia had updated drivers for their Mac cards and for the CUDA cores. Installing those cleared everything up and I am now running better than I was before! Thanks everyone.
