Flash 8 will not launch

Hi,
I just purchased the Adobe Creative Suite 2 Web bundle with
Studio 8 and for some reason I can't identify it will not launch
Flash 8.
DreamWeaver ,FireWork and all the other software in the suite
launch fine. Its only Flash that doesnt seem to want to launch.
Has anyone had this happen before? Any insight on this
problem would be greatly appreciated.
I'm working on a G5 running OSX 10.3.9

Well I decided to reinstall OSX to see if that would help,
and that seemed to fix it. I'm still not sure what the problem was,
but a fresh install seemes to have fixed it :]

Flash will not launch unless Mac is booted in Safe Mode

This Flash app. is part of Adobe MC CS5 Suite. The computer is iMac with latest update. All updates recent on CS5. All other apps. in suite are good.
Flash launch hangs when initializing Tools. After about 10 minutes it completes it's launch but frequently crashes after awhile.
I have deleted the plist, uninstalled/reinstalled. The only way it will work is if I boot the iMac in Safe Mode.
Any thoughts?

You are SO right! I discovered Wednesday there were
TONS of fonts installed over the summer from the Folio Collection. They were inside a folder within the Fonts folder and I didn't go far enough down the fonts list to get to "F" where they ended up alphabetically.
You get the prize.
What is still a mystery is why Flash reacted to excessive fonts and not the other apps. in the Collection? I will, however, not lose sleep over this.

Adobe Illustrator will not launch when Flash is running

A few of our users have reported that once Flash is running Adobe Illustrator will not launch. We are moving from Windows XP SP2 to Windows XP SP3. The version of both Illustrator and Flash is CS2 (will be upgraded later to CS3).
This used to work on SP2 - anyone can give some hints on this?

Nobody ever solved this

Flash CS3 will not launch

After years of using Flash CS3 on our Windows 7 computer, it would not launch. So we did a system recovery -(everted to factory image), re-installed Windows and updates, installed Flash CS3, then successfully did the license verification. But Flash CS3 will not launch.
We copied the Flash Icon from the Start Menu to the TaskBar. This is the icon we clicked on to do license verification, but now we can't use it to launch Flash CS3.
Thanks for any ideas.

IE 9 and 10 will not launch flash player

This is in regards to my desktop. About three weeks ago I started having issues with the Flash Player not working when called upon by a website as an add-on to IE 10. So I called Microsoft Support and they did all manner of system restore and now the computer is all hosed up. One of the things they did do was uninstall IE 10 and reinstall IE 9. While IE 9 was more stable, IE 9 will not launch the Flash Player either when prompted by a web site. Flash Player WILL launch if I use Chrome or Firefox. The solution that everyone throws my way is not to use IE, but that doesn't fix the issue of getting IE 9 to luanch the flash player when called upon by a web site. Microsoft seems bamboozled by this and their tech support overseas has no idea how to fix this short of a clean install and startiong over from scratch - which seems like the most likely scenario. My desk top is running Windows 7 - build 1. IE Explorer is version 9.0.17. The machine is a 64 bit Intel Core i7 CPU with 870 at 2.93 Ghz. AV is ESET, udated, runs everyday. I have tried putting sites on the on the pop-up blocker allow list and have shut Microft's pop-up block oiff completly with no behavioral change form the computer. I have also disable all of the add-ons and re-enable them, with no change. The most recent version of Flash Player is the one I installed this morning from the adobe web site.

Close the Notes app on the Task Bar and re-launch.
1. Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar
2. Hold the Notes app down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close app
4. Tap area above Task Bar to return to Home screen

Why will Creative Cloud not open on my laptop? It just flashes for a second (after clicking on it) but will not launch. Thanks

I just updated to Mavericks on my laptop & tried to launch CC. After double clicking on the app it will not launch. What do I need to do in order to make this launch. Thanks

We can't know. You have not provided any proper technical information like what operating system and what hardware.

ITunes 12.01 will not launch

I have updated to Yosemite and iTunes 12.01 on a MacBook Pro. All find except iTunes will not launch. It just flashes and nothing happens. I booted in Safe mode and tried - no good. Also reinstalled iTunes but still nothing. Connected my iPhone and still no iTunes.
Anyone any ideas?

Other people seem to be having the same problem.
There was a solution posted in another thread.
1) Remove iTunes. Instructions can be found here: http://www.tekrevue.com/tip/uninstall-itunes/
2) Reinstall iTunes. It can be downloaded here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If that doesn't work, I fixed the problem on my system (before seeing the above instructions) by installing Yosemite on an external drive, then booting from the external drive and copying the iTunes app from the new install back over to the main system. This will be version 12 so you will need to go through the normal update process again to get the latest version.

QuickTime 7.55.90.70 will not launch properly

iTunes 8.0.1.11 / QuickTime 7.55.90.70
Dell Dimension 4600, Intel Pentium 4 at 2.8 GHz w/1MB cache, 1024MB DDR SDRAM at 333MHz, Integrated Intel Extreme Graphics 2
Windows XP Home Edition Version 5.1, Service Pack 3
I've been successfully running iTunes and QuickTime on this system for over a year. I often use QuickTime to watch iTunes Store-purchased videos when I'm offline.
The problem started yesterday evening.
When I launch QuickTime, the window flashes open for a split-second and closes. The program button still appears in the toolbar; however, everything but Move, Mininize and Close are greyed out.
I tried the following fixes. All have failed.
1. Ran Windows System Restore to point before problem occurred.
2. Ran Repair QuickTime from Start Menu / Programs.
3. Uninstalled QuickTime from Start Menu / Programs.
4. Downloaded QuickTime from Apple website and installed. QuickTime would still not run and iTunes stopped working, with error message that QuickTime was missing.
5. Uninstalled iTunes and QuickTime from Control Panel.
6. Downloaded QuickTime + iTunes from Apple website and reinstalled.
7. Deleted all QuickTime preferences files (I found four).
8. Re-entered registration number for QuickTime. (I upgraded to QuickTime Pro earlier this year.)
iTunes is now working normally but QuickTime still will not launch properly.
It's possible that yesterday I launched iTunes while QuickTime was running; it's the only thing I can think of that might have created this problem.
Thanks in advance for your help.

It sounds as if you have more of a problem than I did. I'm not an expert and I'm hesitant to make suggestions that might make the problem worse.
In the meantime, I do recommend that you back up all of your iTunes music before you do anything else, and get into the habit of backing up on a regular basis.
Then you might want to try this: completely uninstall both iTunes and QuickTime (using Revo, unless you know how to clean up the registry on your own). Then reinstall both programs (available at the link I posted earlier) and see if that takes care of the problem.
If this doesn't work, I suggest you start your own thread describing the problem and asking for help. Hopefully an Apple rep -- or at least someone more experienced than I am -- can help you.
Sorry I can't be more useful, and good luck.

Mail will not launch after upgrade to Leopard

I just installed the Leopard OS. My previous OS had been Tiger 10.4.10 and had been recently updated. Now, the Mail program will not launch. When I click the Mail icon, the little blue ball under the icon flashes a few times, then stops. A window opens to say that Mail has unexpectedly quit and asks if I want to send a report to Apple. I sent the report, but this of course does not help me to access my e-mail. Any ideas?

Exact same problem, resolved thus just now:
Finder, Search for Mail.app. Open the version 3.0 (Quick Look from Finder/File will help here...) and you'll be prompted to upgrade your mail stuff; from there, you're happy.
My guess is that the Sidebar didn't upgrade correctly. Mine evidently still references v2.1 of Mail.
On to that problem next...

Since installing Mac OS 10.10.1 photoshop will not run, it will not launch. A window indicates that it needs JAVA SE6 to run. JAVA SE6 is installed. I have re-installed and restarted but photoshop will not run and I get the same message window that I need to install JAVA SE6. How do I make this work?

Have you added any Photoshop Add-on that uses an external JavaScript. Photoshop itself has is own ScriptingSupport Plug-in and does not use an external java. Also Java SE6 is old and has security issues you should update to version SE8

BB Desktop Software will not launch

PC, running Windows XP - Upgraded to new BB Desktop Software. Was working for about a month. Now, Will NOT launch - getting Windows Error

I re-connected to BB and loaded the "fix" versus the fuill version and still cannot load.
From the Windows Control Panel - Removed the BB Desktop Software and re-booted the PC. Re-Loaded the full Desktop Software from the BB website. Still NOTHING - except for the Windows errror.
Dead in the water. Cannot launch the BB Software to connect and synch BB Storm! iPhone on Verizon is looking better and better. Mid-February is NOT coming soon enough.
Help!

OK Instead of dueling each other, the issue is my Problem. If you want to 'duel', please take it off-line.
No one is "dueling" , we are tying to fix your problem.
Re-stating my Problem:
1. I had loaded BB DM6 on a Windows XP PC about 3 months ago with no problems. In fact, it linked with all aspects of Outlook that I needed (Calendar, Task and Contacts). Yeah!! This did not happen with the 'original' BB DM that I loaded January 2009 when I bought the BB Storm from Verizon, but I lived with this short coming of BB. Built my calendar and contacts directly into the BB Storm.
So the original installation of the desktop manager software loaded in January 2009 did not correctly function with Outlook.
2. OK. So something happened last week and the BB DM6 will not launch without getting the error message that I put in my 1st Posting of this Problem.
"So something happened". We can only go on your description of the problem. If you have no idea what happened i couldn't possibly know. The only "guess" would be an there was an auto update to existing software or you have added software.
3. I went to BB and loaded the "Fix" for PC. Also, this did not Launch BB DM6.
4. Unloaded the BB DM6 with the Windows XP Control Panel "Remove Program". Re-Booted the PC. Then, went to BB and reloaded the BB DM6. Same error message and no Launch.
Try using the repair/modify option in the Remove Program function on the DM installation currently loaded on the PC.
5. I am far from the "Techie" that the respondants to this Problem are!! I am a SIMPLE End User of this BB Storm having mucho problems ... all of a sudden ... last week after using BB DM6 without the problems.
6. What can a SIMPLE, non-techie End User do? From the Respondants Postings .. I am reading about Loading Roxio for BB DM from the Roxio website? Also, reading about that the Unload from the Windows XP Control Panel, Remove Programs, is incomplete for the removal of the BB DM6. I am being directed to removing 'hidden' files/keys as directed in a BB Problem Solving Posting for the CLEAN Removal of BB DM6--- which is surely not written for the SIMPLE, non-techie End User!!
The error indicates a problem with some Roxio software. If you were using DM with Media manager prior Roxio was a part of that software, or you are running Roxio software.The Roxio information I gave you was to remove Roxio drivers not load Roxio software.
In your description of the January 2009 install there were problems with the install that were never correctly addressed. What we are suggesting is to remove all traces of the Various installation of desktop manager which includes editing the registry. That is why using Windows remove programs is not sufficient.
Once complete you will be installing a fresh copy of DM on your system, this will ensure that the DM software can correctly integrate wit both Windows and MS Outlook
The install procedure is SUGGESTED as the best resolution to your problem. Whether you run it or not is your decision.
7. In simple non-Techie language for this SIMPLE, non-techie End User ... what can I do to fix the problem and be able to launch BB DM6 from my Windows XP PC??
This is as plain "non-techie" as I can write it.
Thanks,
