Initializing mediacore... how do I return CS5???

Not that I want to... but so far I have gotten NO help from adobe on this issue and can't find a solution.
I have both CS4 and installed CS5 on to my W7-64 system. AEFX CS4 work fine. CS5 stalls on Initializing MediaCore and then after 10 min it starts but says QT components not installed (but are). Funny thing is that if I create a new user profile and log in, AEFX CS5 starts fine. I don't get it... I have tried some of the solutions noted in various posts, but to no avail. I have:
- uninstalled and re-installed
- pulled out plug-in folder
- started in safe mode
- deleted preferences folder
- started AE as Admin
NOTHING IS WORKING AND I NEED THIS TO WORK IN MY CURRENT MAIN USER PROFILE!!!
Please, please, please ADOBE help me!!!!!
Thanks,
Todd

You don't have proper permissions to load system drivers and start services, most likely. I suggest you do a little reading here. This should give you the right idea what to change and where to look. If managing services manually doesn't help, changing your group policies (gpedit.msc) is the otehr alternative, at the cost of reducing system security, because you need to include your user to allow meddling with system services, even if not admin...

AE CS5 stops @ 'Initializing Mediacore' Windows 7

I'm currently trying out the trial edition of After Effects CS5, and all was going well. I was learning how to do Typographys and other animations. Til just recently, AE wouldn't load. The Splash Screen would come up and it would reach 'Initializing Mediacore' and it would just stop and not respond.
Now I have done my research and tried countless different thing to make it work.
I've tried:
Reinstalling Quicktime.
Downgrading Quicktime to 7.3
Reinstalling AE CS5
Restarting Computer
System Restore to when it was working
Disabling Firewall and Norton Firewall
Running as administrator
Using a different user account to trying running AE
Removing all the files in the mediacore folder
Removing all 3rd Party Codecs (Never had any)
The thing is, I did stop using AE for about a week and in that week I installed two big programs, avast! and ZoneAlarm Free Firewall, I have uninstalled both completely but still no luck.
Adobe Premier Pro too is not working and is getting stuck on 'Loading ExporterQuickTimeHost.prm.
Computer:
Windows 7
4.00 GB Ram
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66GHz
64-bit Operating System
How do I fix this annoying problem?
Thank you.

Adobe Premier Pro too is not working and is getting stuck on 'Loading ExporterQuickTimeHost.prm.
Pretty clear...?! I would assume your virus scanner/ firewall have done something weird to specific Quicktime components and they are permanently flagged or their permissions have been set in such a way that they cannot be accessed. Those tools may also have enabled DEP and ADSLR, which are not compatible with QT and iTunes. Similar could have happened with some recent Windows Updates or QT itself. In any case, I don't see an easy way to fix this. There is certainly something wrong, be it just some Registry key or on the file level. The only way to get to the bottom of this, short of a full W7 reinstall, is to use Sysinternals' Process Monitor, set it to filter on AE and monitor which files and reg keys it accesses. The only other thing might be some issues with QT's hardware acceleration and legacy CoDec compatibilty and that only takes a short trip to the QT system control panel...

Cs5 freezes on initializing mediacore

after effects cs5 freezes on initializing mediacore...pleasehelp...i have through tons of stuff online on solvin the issue done all of them and nothing worked in my case. and i have been using cs5 for sometime on my pc...am using windows 7,64bit..and have xilisoft video conerter installed..if it might help...i usind the cs cleaner tool ....removed quicktime, quit qt32server...plus the opposite..i logged in with another account same issue......and i have installed and reinstalled appropriately like a dozen times.....please help......

Have you flushed the media cache? If not, try that. Also trash the prefs. Other than that I'm not sure what to advise, but perhaps your system event viewer may provide some details abouzt those crashes.

Preview opens all of my graphics how can I return the preference to Adobe CS5 as it was before 9.2

Since installing 10.9.2 I cannot initially open any graphics with Adobe CS5; "Preview" has assumed that role and it is annoying to say the least because I can't find a way to change a preference.
2012 27" iMac on Mavericks
Can anyone help me ?
Thanks

Highlight a file you wish to open with CS5 and press CMD i, this will open the get info window for the file. There should be an option to make CS 5 or any other application you have installed the default for all that file type.

Adobe After Effects CS 5 and CS 5.5 Freezes (Initializing MediaCore)

For about 3 days now my adobe after effects cs5 and cs5.5 freezes with "Initializing MediaCore".
I tried reinstalling, changing a bunch of things, disabling my firewall, etc.
Before it was not freezing at all, but I think the problem is because I have too much fonts, could it be the problem ? I installed about 15, 000 fonts and then it keeps freezing.
Please help me,
Maxime.

I installed about 15, 000 fonts and then it keeps freezing.
RLY? That's bordering on being certifiable for the asylum! Even print people never use that many. Sure, it could be a huge part of the problem - there may be damaged/ "bad" fonts among them or the sheer number could consume tons of memory. Really, get rid of 99% of them. Not only is it a hinderance in your work, but just using insane numbers of typefaces doesn't compensate for any typographic deficiencies. How many fonts do you intend on using, after all? Other than that MediaCore issues could point to corruptred media caches, so flush them. also check your CoDec setup. If you have installed some equally unnecessary CoDec packs as you have done with fonts, get rid of them...

After Effects freezes, and "Initializing MediaCore" issue.

I've been looking around for hours to solve this problem but I can't fix it...
I have been using AE CS5 for almost a year without a problem but the other day it suddenly frooze and now every time I try to start CS5 it freezes when "initializing mediacore" in the splash frame. Sometimes after restarting the computer I am able to start CS5 but it then freezes after a coulpe of minutes and then I can't start it again...
I've read about the mediacore issue but I can't solve it, my firewall in deactivated...so there shouldn't be a problem with it stopping ae from communicating with QT?
Also I've tried installing an older CS3 version, it starts, but keeps freezing at the same place everytime I try to render my project...
Any that knows how to fix this?
Im using OSX version 10.6.8, 3.06 GHz i3, 4GB 1333MHz DDR3, the latest Quicktime

Thanks for your time guys!
When I took a closer look at the QT files i realized I'd been in the wrong Library/Quicktime...
So how do I know which files to keep? Just trial and error until it works or do you know which files specifically should be there as default?
thanks again

I just upgraded on May 11 and find I cannot open a fold for bookmarks. I research and bookmarks are my lively hood. How can I return the bookmark functionality?

MS 7 and long time user of Firefox so this is the recent upgrade of May 11. Unlike the prior bookmark functionality, I cannot indicate I want to bookmark a link and designate a new folder for a new topic in two to three clicks. This is critical to what I do for a living. How can I return the prior format and be sure bookmarks are backed up automatically. Does going back to the older and more functional tool bar restore this? And why does clicking the bookmarks toolbar show getting started, most visited and the printer icon? Getting started takes one to a new user set of instructions. But there are no functional operations in the tool bar? I am not going to go thru a lot of commands, this should be a automatic as before.

'' the bookmark facility is not functional in 29 ... Bookmark puts all bookmarks there into "recently bookmarked" ''
It does not.
It works much the same as the old system does. Or at least it should do and does do for me.
* Carefully reads the following article so you are certain what should be happening '''[[How to use bookmarks to save and organize your favorite websites ]]'''
# From an unbookmarked page click the bookmarks star.
#* That results in the bookmark being added, and yes initially it is just as an unsorted bookmark. (No doubt that is where most people put most bookmarks)
# IMPORTANT click the star a second time. (But not so rapidly it counts as a doubleclick)
#* You now have the options you had in the old version of Firefox Create new folders Save to a recently used folder Show all bookmark folders - and expand nested folders
If your bookmarks are not working possibly the file is corrupted in which case see
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox#Damaged_Places_database
I am hoping it is just that you are doubleclicking the star too quickly.

Initializing MediaCore CS6 Freeze

On starting After Effects CS6 on my MacBook Pro, it perpetually hangs at "Initializing MediaCore" and will not start up.
I've checked system updates for OS X and all the Adobe CS6 Apps (I'm using Creative Cloud), and all is up-to-date. Removed all my third-party plug ins, and uninstalled and re-installed After Effects--each time rebooting the machine. Nothing seems to fix the problem.
I've seen a few similar threads for CS5, but no suggestions seem to fix the problem.
Anyone else have this problem w/ AE CS6? Or (hopefully) found a solution?
Thanks!

I am having the same problem. Although I have uninstalled "Perian", which I didn't know I had. But when I spotlighted it, it came up in my "system preferences pane" with an uninstall button. SO I uninstalled it and tried to restart AE. But it still hangs at "Initalizing MediaCore". I did a permissions repair and restarted. But still it hangs at the same spot. This just started two days ago. I have not loaded any other plug-ips or add on's. I am using CS6 Production Suite. On a Mac Pro 2x3 GHz Dual Core Intel Xeon, with 16 GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-Dimm. Running 10.7.5 Lion. And as luck would have it, I'm on a deadline. I saw the Media Encoder comment and wanted to go that route, but now I can't get back in. It's just hung at this part of the loading process.

How can I return in a native method a Java type?

Hi,
i want to return in the native methode ja Java type java.awt.Dimension!
How can I do this?
Java code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
public native java.awt.Dimension getSize()
generating the JNI header file
JNI header code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JNIEXPORT jobject JNICALL Java_Video_getSize(JNIEnv *, jobject)
my c function looks like this
code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JNIEXPORT jobject JNICALL Java_Video_getSize(JNIEnv *env, jobject obj)
return ???????
how can I return in C an object like jawa.awt.Dimension?
Thx
Ronny

Here is my 2 cents for a way we pass data between Java and C via the Java Native Interface. This excerpt is an example of passing an int value through a locally created Integer wrapper class, which must be adapted for local use. Note that because of the wrapper, return values are not needed.
1. Create the Java class file.
* This class encapsulates a Java <CODE>int</CODE> primitive.
* This class was created to allow programmers to change
* the value of an existing integer object without being
* forced to create a new object (as is the case with the
* Java Integer object).
public class LocalInteger
 private int value;
 * Creates a LocalInteger object and initializes
 * it to 0 (the default in Java).
 public LocalInteger ()
 super ();
 * Creates a LocalInteger object and initializes
 * it using the given int value.
 * @param i Integer value to use in initializing
 * the object.
 public LocalInteger (int i)
 super ();
 value = i;
 * Gets the value of the object.
 * @return The value of the object.
 public int getValue ()
 return (value);
2. Create the jni header file.
DLL_EXTERN void jni_GetValue_from_LocalInteger(int* LocalInteger, JNIEnv *env, jobject thisLocalInteger);
3. Create the C file.
/*start of jni header****************************************
*NAME/TITLE: jni_GetValue_from_LocalInteger
*DESCRIPTION: This routine copies the integer value
* from the Java LocalInteger object to the
* C 'int' variable.
*CALLING SEQUENCE: jni_GetValue_from_LocalInteger (LocalInteger,
* env,
* thisLocalInteger)
*PARAMETERS:
* Type Name I/O Description
* int * LocalInteger I/O C variable
* JNIEnv * env I JNIEnv pointer
* jobject thisLocalInteger I Java object
*RETURN: N/A
**end of header*********************************************/
/* ********************** BEGIN CODE ********************** */
DLL_EXPORT
void jni_GetValue_from_LocalInteger(int* LocalInteger, JNIEnv *env, jobject thisLocalInteger)
 LocalInteger = (int) (env)->GetIntField(env, thisLocalInteger, LocalInteger_Value);

How do I uninstall CS5 in Windows 7

I just purchased CS6 and installed it -- everything works. But I also have CS5 -- Windows 7 Professional 64-bit -- How do I install CS5? CS5 does not appear in the Control Panel "Programs" listing.
Is there an "uninstaller" somewhere??

Thank you -- however, it was installed and working BUT even though I "unhid" all files, Windows 7 still not report it -- no idea why.
It doesn't even report CS6.
But, as you suggested, the Cleaner Tool -- not for the "Cloud" did the uninstall. I will have to go into the Registry and remove any remnants.
Thanks again,
Prof. G.

How can I return my ipad 1 to pre OS5?

how can I return my ipad 1 to pre OS5?
Ive been reading the forums all over the place to find the solution to my ipad 1 continually crashing. it does it mainly in safari and the app store.
Its really annoying when you're halfway through composing a long e-mail message and it just reverts back to the home screen.
I'm perfectly happy to give up the advantages of IOs 5, because I would rather have a stable machine (like it used to be) than use the cloud and multitasking. (I don't use them anyway). I know that some of my apps might stop working but its more important to me that the basics work.
cheers
Andy

You cannot downgrade the iOS. Once you upgrade, you're stuck with it.
Part of your problem is that your iPad is old and it probably having difficulty keeping up with the data and protocols for the newer software. It's probably time to send a note to Santa.

How to get return value from Java runtime.getRuntime.exec?

I'm running shell commands from an Oracle db (11gr2) on aix.
But, I would like to get a return value from a shell comand... like you get with "echo $?"
I use a code like
CREATE OR REPLACE JAVA SOURCE NAMED common."Host" AS
import java.io.*;
public class Host {
public static int executeCommand(String command) {
    int retval=0;
    try {
        String[] finalCommand;
        finalCommand = new String[3];
        finalCommand[0] = "/bin/sh";
        finalCommand[1] = "-c";
        finalCommand[2] = command;
      final Process pr = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(finalCommand);
      pr.waitFor();
   catch (Exception ex) {
      System.out.println(ex.getLocalizedMessage());
      retval=-1;
    return retval;
/but I do not get a return value... because I don't know how to get return value..

Hi,
Have your tried pr.exitValue() ?
I think you also need a finally block that destroys the subprocess

How do I return two values from a stored procedure into an "Execute SQL Task" within SQL Server 2008 R2

Hi,
How do I return two values from a
stored procedure into an "Execute SQL Task" please? Each of these two values need to be populated into an SSIS variable for later processing, e.g. StartDate and EndDate.
Thinking about stored procedure output parameters for example. Is there anything special I need to bear in mind to ensure that the SSIS variables are populated with the updated stored procedure output parameter values?
Something like ?
CREATE PROCEDURE [etl].[ConvertPeriodToStartAndEndDate]
@intPeriod INT,
@strPeriod_Length NVARCHAR(1),
@dtStart NVARCHAR(8) OUTPUT,
@dtEnd NVARCHAR(8) OUTPUT
AS
then within the SSIS component; -
Kind Regards,
Kieran.
Kieran Patrick Wood http://www.innovativebusinessintelligence.com http://uk.linkedin.com/in/kieranpatrickwood http://kieranwood.wordpress.com/

Below execute statement should work along the parameter mapping which you have provided. Also try specifying the parameter size property as default.
Exec [etl].[ConvertPeriodToStartAndEndDate] ?,?,? output, ? output
Add a script task to check ssis variables values using,
Msgbox(Dts.Variables("User::strExtractStartDate").Value)
Do not forget to add the property "readOnlyVariables" as strExtractStartDate variable to check for only one variable.
Regards, RSingh

How do I return an unopened refurbished iBook for a complete refund?

I ordered a refurbished 14 inch ibook a while ago and it has been sitting in an unopened box ever since. It cost about $1050. I bought this before the new intel MacBook's came out, and now that they are out, they are much better than the ibook's. Plus the iBook 14 inch is a weird ratio.
How would i return my unopened ibook for a complete refund and only pay like 50 bucks more for a new macbook?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
It depends on the store you bought it from. Read the policies of the store you bought it from, if they are posted on the web. Your "awhile ago" doesn't tell us anything about the number of days. If you have no idea when you bought it, but bought it by credit card, you can usually call the store and ask them with your credit card number to verify when that was. Most stores I've seen have a time limit on returns. Some do not accept refurbished products back. It is best to check with the individual store.

Please let me know how I can return to the original look and feel of the iPhone surface I bought my phone for.

You had plenty of time to look at screenshots on the internet and read various blog posts about iOS 7.
