Adobe Premiere has encountered a serious error and needs to shut down.

I encounter this every once in awhile and it's super irritating. I've cleared the cache a few times and even created new project files and saved them elsewhere to try and avoid the issue. Are there any updates or patches available?
Premiere Pro CS6 6.0.1
Thanks!

Yes... several... All Adobe updates start here and select product, read to see if you need to install updates in number order, or if the updates are cumulative for the individual product http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/

Audition has encountered a fatal error and needs to shutdown

All of a sudden, Audition has been frequently giving me this error "audition has encountered a fatal error and needs to shutdown" and shutting down when I select an area using the Paint Brush selection Tool in the Spectral Display. I have made lots of use of this tool in the recent past, editing out noise in recordings. But, this error now makes that tool almost useless.
How can I fix whatever is wrong?
1) MacBookPro with Lion 10.7.4
2) Audition CS6, v5.0 build 708
3) Editing wave files using the Paintbrush tool to select small areas to reduce the level.
4) Does NOT seem file dependent, since this problem has occurred on brand new wave files and previously edited wave files. I do not know if it is restricted to wave files. That is just all record - wave 24/96.
5) The problem generally occurs when I simply select an area. I think sometimes it doesn't surface, until I try to adjust the level.
6) I have used this tool a lot, prior to this problem surfacing. I' had no troubles. then, on a file I hade been making lots of little edit to, to clean up the noise, it suddenly started giving me this error. Since then, any file I have tried to use the Paint Brush tool give me this error. Forces me to save VERY frequently.
Any ideas?
Mike

Hi Mike,
First, let me ask that the next time this crash occurs, please locate and send the corresponding OS X Crash log. To locate this file, do the following:
Open Finder
From the menu bar, choose Go > Go To Folder...
In the "Go to the Folder" box that pops up, type: ~/Library/Logs/Diagnostic Reports/ and click Go
Locate the Adobe Auudition CS6_2012... file that is most recently dated and send it as an attachment to [email protected]
I would then suggest two steps to resolve this:
Update Audition:
Click Help > Updates in the menu bar and update Audition CS6 to v5.0.2
If you still experience a crash after updating Audition, let's temporarily reset the preference files for Audition and see if that makes a difference.
Open Finder
From the menu bar, choose Go > Go To Folder...
In the "Go to the Folder" box that pops up, type ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Audition/ and click Go
Rename the "5.0" folder to something else, such as "5.0_OLD"
Audition will rebuild these preference files to its defaults on the next launch. See if this crash is still a problem.
Thanks!

Photoshop CS2 has serious error and needs to be reinstalled * 3

Hello,
I am running photoshop CS2 at work and had it open very slowly this morning (3minutes) and then give me an error message - Photoshop has encountered a serious error and needs to restart. I did this 3 times and it still is not working. I did a full uninstall each time, trashed prefferences, repaired permissions and restared but with no luck. Capture One is not opening either, but one step at a time here.
Anyone have any suggestions?
thaks

A little more info:
This seems particularly likely to happen when I open a sequence on the timeline that has more than 5 audio tracks.
I'm using OS Mavericks 10.9.5. Video footage is .R3D. I have the crash report if that helps.

"iTunes has encountered an error and needs to close" -Gapless Playback

I've had this problem for a while now and I'm just plain sick of it!
Every time I start up iTunes it does the "Determining Gapless Playback" thing, but when it gets to certain songs it freezes up and I get an error message that says:
"iTunes has encountered an error and needs to close"
This happenes to a lot of songs (a few dozen)and the only way I can actually access my library is by hitting the 'x'next to "Determining Gapless Playback" before it gets to the songs. However, now I can't even do that because it gets to the song immediately.
I need to know if I can disable the gapless playback or somehow debug this (I have reinstalled iTunes, Quicktime works, I have reloaded my library, done a system restore,and changed users/startup programs... nothing works)
PLEASE help!
I run XP if that helps.

Kar,
Check out the steps Roy B posted in this thread. They are long and a bit convoluted, but they seem to have done the trick for many others having this problem.

"iTunes has encountered an error and needs to close" - can't open iTunes

Hi guys,
I'm a huge Apple fan so I obviously decided to upgrade to Apple 7.0.1 the day it came out... installed it. Opened it up, but within just a few seconds i got a Windows message saying
"iTunes has encountered an error and needs to close"
I reinstalled it and still have the same problem.
First few days I could atleast keep iTunes open for a few minutes before the message, but now its down to just a few seconds.
I run Windows XP if that helps any.
Please help me fix this problem or tell me how I can put iTunes 6 back on my computer --- I need my music!
Thanks

After downloading and installing 7.0.1 my iTunes would not open either. Even worse is you can't go back to v6 if you had v7 running--the database is updated.
Luckily I was able to get my iTunes to open again by doing the following:
Click Start/Run
Type in "%userprofile%\application data\apple computer"
Right click on the iTunes folder and rename it to iTunes.bak.
Close the window.
Click Start/Run again.
Type in "%userprofile%\local settings\application data\apple computer"
Right click on the iTunes folder and rename it to iTunes.bak.
Close the window.
Try opening your iTunes again. It may re-ask some general setup questions, but mine opened without the error, and it still had all my music. However, I did have to re-authorize my computer.
I used to never be leary about updating iTunes... guess Apple's software ain't no peach, either.
Hope this helps someone.

"itunes has experienced an error and needs to close"

while trying to import my c.d. collection to itunes, i quite often get the message "itunes has experienced an error and needs to close. do you want to send the error to microsoft?" it usually takes me about 20 minutes to import 1 c.d. to itunes becuase i have to keep re-opening itunes after it closes. i never lose anything i have already imported. sometimes i will get through 5 songs before i get the error message, sometimes i cant get through a single song. whats the deal here??

What if you try importings CDs to your computer (not to iTunes) Is this normally working? If yes the problem is in ITunes and if no the problem is maybe your CD player. If the problem is in iTunes you should try to download the latest version from the Apple pages and then update/reinstall.

ITUNES SHOWS ERROR AND NEED TO CLOSE

Hi,
itunes page shows error and need to close everytime I plug in the iphone to my desktop. why?

+"iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close."+
let's first check to see if this is associated with a problem with your QuickTime. (iTunes needs a properly functioning QuickTime in order to work correctly.)
try launching your QuickTime. does it:
(a) launch perfectly fine?
(b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
(c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)

AME CC 2014: "Adobe Media Encoder has encountered an unexpected error and cannot continue."

Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 on MacPro "mid-2012" (MacPro5,1) running OSX 10.9.3 and getting this error when trying to launch Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014:
Adobe Media Encoder Error
Adobe Media Encoder has encountered an unexpected error and cannot continue.
Have uninstalled, reinstalled. Checked and fixed permissions numerous times. Tried removing all plugins and that didn't fix. Also tried editing the text listings within the .app for OpenGL and CUDA to remove all cards listed - that didn't fix anything either.
At this point it's uninstalled and "hopefully" everything will point to CC (non-2014 version). Adobe Media Encoder CC works fine. Adobe Media Encoder CS6 works fine.
Cannot find any other reports of this issue.

Progress in trying to fix. This workaround was NOT successful on previous attempts, but now appears to be working. Seems like the trick was to have AME CC 2014 started and open BEFORE doing any of this? As always, make sure all of your permissions are set properly - had done that numerous times previously. My issue was NOT directly permission related.
Navigate to the following folder:
You may see a file SHORTCUT that is invalid called "Presets":
Remove/delete this file. It's a broken shortcut.
Move a folder of .EPR files into the "8.0" folder. Call it anything except "Presets". Go to AME CC 2014 and quit. (I was greeted with another crash message.)
Open AME CC 2014 again. Your presets will not be loaded yet, but you should see an XML file that was created in your new folder like this:
Delete this file.
You should see a new folder also created by AME called "Presets". Move your .EPR files into this folder and delete the original folder. Quit AME CC 2014. (I was greeted with ANOTHER crash message.)
Open AME CC 2014. Your preset files should be there at the top under the preset browser:
Probably a good idea to keep a copy of those .EPR files elsewhere

CTIOS encountered an error and needs to close

We frequently get the "CTIOS encountered an error and needs to close" while trying to launch CTIOS desktop( CTI out of box). This usually gets fixed when we reinstall the application. But this issue is so frequent that i am wondering what the root cause may be and fix for that, instead of reinstalling the app every time this issue occurs.Any help on this is appreciated.

Thanks for your quick response Geoff , Unfortunately the desktop does not write anything in the client log files when it shows this error. I assumed that this has something to do with the corruption of DLL files. I am not sure how to trace back to the roots.I have seen many posts in this forum who faced the same problem, so thought some one would have found some alternative solution than reinstalling the application.
Thanks for your help.

Excel encountered an error and need to close

Hello
We suddenly have Excel crashing with one single report among others saying 'Excel encountered an error and needs to close'.
The report run last week and we didn't change it meanwhile, nor did we change the Excel version.
Version: SAP BPC 5.1 on SQL 2005 running with Excel 2003
What we already tried:
- full process of all dimensions
- reinstall of office client
- open/save the report with another excel version (2002) outside BPC
Does anybody know this behaviour and does anybody have an idea to workaround it?
For me honestly a reinstall of Excel or to rebuild the whole report would put in question the quality of BPC in general.
Thanks and kind regards.
Miramar

You could probably try re-house the report into a new excel workbook.
Literally copy across the sheet contents and see if that fixes it.
This technique works sometimes where excel reports/templates can get corrupted...
