Known Preference conflicts?

Are there any known preference conflicts for CS3? Everything crashes on my Admin account, but works fine on my other user account. Tech Support told me to just use it on my User account, which isn't acceptable. Preferential Treatment turned up nothing. I've been through my preference folder over and over looking for possible conflicts, but nothing works.
Any help?

You have corruption in your main account.
An Archive and Install of the OS will give you a fresh system and user account and keep all your settings and apps intact.

  • Earthlink Total Access Preferences conflict/error message with Mac 10.4

    I'm running 10.4.11 and have had Earthlink for about a year now. I have the latest edition of Earthlink for Mac installed from disc. Everything is fine and my connection (unfortunately, dial-up) works great. However, I have never been able to use the Preferences button in Total Access on Earthlink. I keep getting an error message on the Mac that says: "You cannot open TotalAccess preferences pane on this computer. Contact the developer of this software for a newer version." I talked with Earthlink and they say there is some conflict that is preventing the Preferences from opening, but they cannot help. It is on the Mac side. Does anyone know what this conflict is and how to resolve it? Thanks.

    Hi Aaron,
    FWIW, I have to agree with BDAqua, and to switch. Earthlink was "the" internet provider for Mac OS for years but with recent upgrades to the OS and competition they have really fallen off the map IMO. Their support, while at one time, was probably the best that you could get for Mac OS is now not much more than barely adequate. I finally had enough a couple years ago and switched myself and am glad I did. I don't know what their internet fees are these days but I do know that when I switched they were the highest around and their service and support of Mac OSX got worse and not better. Even Apple, who at one time, included Earthlinks software with new computers no longer does I believe. I would check into switching to another ISP....one that is most likely cheaper and with better support for Mac OS X!

  • Any known GB conflicts with "Sound Studio" 3  ?

    I have ordered a new iMac desktop with latest OSX 10.8.x and iLife suite.
    I currently use Sound Studio 2.2.4 on this PPC, and plan to buy latest SS 4.x for the new desktop.
    I've never played with GarageBand yet.
    Are there any known conflicts having GarageBand and Sound Studio on the same platform?
    Thank you in advance.
    c²

    What conclicts are you thinking of? Sound Studio produces audio files that you can import into GB as long as they are in a supported format. That's independent of the OS. I am using both programs and am happy with it.

  • Browser fill not loading consistently in Chrome - is there preferences conflict?

    http://mayandco.com/grazzini/index.html
    Sometimes the browser fill loads and other times it doesn't. I have asked this question before, but I was using and older computer with an older OS. I now have a new computer and am running Mavericks, so that's not the problem. This happens in Chrome (Version 39.0.2171.95) only when I navigate from page to page. If I hit refresh then the background appears.
    Can there be a conflict if both the Site prefs and the Page prefs have redundant settings?
    -DM

    Oh! This also happens on multiple sites.

  • Preferences conflict

    I have two Keynote presentations. With mirroring off, one of them starts with the main Keynote window displayed on the laptop which allows me to use the laptop to click on the Play button in the upper left at which point the presenter screen is displayed on the laptop and the slide on the projector. The other presentation is just the opposite. When I open it, the main Keynote window displays through the projector with the laptop screen blank which forces me to move the mouse to the projector in order to click on the Play button on the upper left. Both run fine after clicking on the Play button but I would like to have the main Keynote screen appear on the laptop for both presentations. Thanks for any advise.

    In the Keynote Preferences, under Slideshow, at the bottom of the panel choose "Present on Secondary Display". This will send the presentation to an attached projector or monitor.

  • Any known software conflicts with Leopard

    I am really frustrated. I've been an exclusive mac user since 87. I have had major problems with leopard that remind me of the pre-OSX days. Apps hanging, crashing, not shutting down (and I'm talking Apple apps like Safari). My computer hangs on shut down while Updating Boot Caches (I've let the thing run over night hoping I was just being impatient.). I have even had some kernel panics. I've run disk utility, TechTool Pro, and DiskWarrior. When I run these apps, some times they find problems and sometimes they don't. The hardware checks are okay. I have done a clean install of Leopard. And of course, everything is up to date. I have even had trouble syncing with dotmac with the syncs getting out of sync and constantly asking me which one I want to keep.
    I never, ever had these problems with Tiger.
    My final guess is that maybe there is some rouge piece of software that doesn't work well with Tiger.
    Is there a list.
    Any help?
    Ever so frustrated,
    Paul

    What you did was an erase and install.
    Check with each application vendor for software compatibility. The way you can tell if an application is compatible is if the actual update is said to be compatible.
    I.e, when it says:
    10.4.x and above means 10.4.0 and 10.4.1 compatible.
    10.4.x and 10.5.x and above it means 10.4.0 - 10.4.11, and 10.5.0, and 10.5.1 compatible. No assurance though exists for Intel compatibility, unless it says Application Universal in the Finder menu -> Get Info information about the application. Rosetta applications are typically PowerPC compatible, with dependence on PowerPC drivers and may not always work with Intel Macs.
    10.4.x and 10.5.0 to 10.5.2 it means it is compatible with the most recent release. The Intel Mac disclaimer applies here as well.
    10.4.x and 10.5.0 to 10.5.2 PowerPC and Universal means it will work with PowerPC and Intel Macs running Tiger and Leopard to present day.
    10.3.x and above does not mean 10.4.x compatible, nor does it mean 10.5.x compatible. There are some exceptions if the software was developed within the framework of Rosetta.
    Visit http://www.macupdate.com/ and http://www.versiontracker.com/ for the most current info on application compatibility. If there are any applications you are uncertain about their compatibility and want to make sure you remove them entirely, use http://www.appzapper.com/

  • Known iPhoto conflicts, ie Bridge?

    I am starting to provide small business clients with D.A.M. services & advice. Mac only. Have not been much interested in iPhoto until '08 when the organizing side got competitive (in my view). However, the proprietary issues have me concerned. TD mentioned Adobe Bridge will wreak havoc in iPhoto Library. Ah. Good to know. What else? Or point me to great D.A.M. discussions, thank you very much. Min.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. iView MediaPro is not longer available (well it is but not supported and has some problems with Leopard) and has been replaced byMedia Expression by that dreaded organization Microsoft. It's a good DAM application but the user interface is cruddy. It can be purchased at a 50% discount right now. Go to http://store.microsoft.com/microsoft/design/category/601.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Flash Player Conflict with OSX 10.4.11 ??

    Hi All! I recently tried to upgrade to new version of Flash Player 9. Install was successful, but I can't access any online Flash content. Tried to uninstall and reinstall several times, to no avail. Any suggestions for troubleshooting? Any other known software conflicts with Flash Player 9? Thanks for any suggestions you can offer! Sue

    Hello and welcome, there was once a problem/conflict with Quicktime. Sometimes Quicktimes preferences has it set up as the default viewer for flash content.
    To change this open Applications>System Preferences(or just click on it if it's in your dock) and click on QuickTime. From the tabs in the window select "Advanced".
    At the bottom of this window click on the "MIME setting..." button. A drop down list will appear. At the bottom is "Miscellanious" click the small triangle to expand it. In that list is "Flash media" UNcheck it. Click OK and restart your computer.
    Hope this helps...Cheers,

  • Upgrading to 10.3 or 10.4-software conflicts?

    I have a Power PC G4 (Dual 867 MHz Processor). Running Classic 9.2 and OSX 10.2.8. I'm looking at the pros and cons of upgrading to 10.3 or 10.4. And I want to minimize upgrade purchases and conflicts for my existing software.
    Any known software conflicts with OS X 10.3 or 10.4 and older Adobe products? I'm using Photoshop 7.0, Illustrator 10. I'm also using Dreamweaver MX 2004, Microsoft Office 2004, Quark Xpress (am upgrading to 6).
    Also, what's the best browser and email program to use with 10.3 or 10.4?
    Thanks!
    Dual 867 MHz ProcessorPC G4    

    Is there a particular reason you need to update? Do you use your computer and software in conjunction with a business or job? In the case of the latter you should never upgrade when you depend upon mission critical software or hardware until you have verified compatibility.
    In your case you should contact the individual software developers/companies and inquire about version compatibility with different versions of OS X. Sometimes you can find this out by visiting their respective websites and reading the System Requirements information. You can also use the resources at www.versiontracker.com to find out about OS X version compatibility for your various titles.
    For Tiger you can also consult these resources:
    http://www.macintouch.com/tigercompat.html
    http://www.macintouch.com/tigerreview/incompatibility.html
    Personally if you are planning to upgrade I would upgrade to Tiger because it is current. However, before upgrading I would plan to make a bootable backup of your current system to an external Firewire drive. In case you have any problems or change your mind you can always restore the backup. To make a bootable backup you will need an external Firewire drive equal to or greater in size than your internal hard drive. You wil need to download Carbon Copy Cloner from www.versiontracker.com and install it. Carefully read the documentation for CCC to learn how to use it properly to make a bootable clone. After you make your clone test it by trying to boot the computer with it.
    In my opinion the best browsers for OS X are Safari and OmniWeb. The best email application is Entourage (part of Office X 2004) or Power Mail. However, you will not find much consensus on either of these applications. Everyone has their opinion. The best suggestion is try them all out and see which ones you like best. Trial versions can be found at www.versiontracker.com for the shareware or commercial products.

  • Indesign can't install because of conflict with InDesign

    When trying to install trial version of Indesign CS3, I get an error message that states...Adobe InDesign CS3 cannot be installed because of a conflict with Abobe InDesign CS3...
    I have run search and can not find any instance of "Adobe InDesign CS3" on the computer. Suggestions? HELP?

    Try calling Adobe tech support. I'm not certain what the policy is on supporting installation of trial versions, but it can't hurt, and if they'll talk to you they should do it no charge.
    If not, the best I can recommend is to run MSconfig and turn off all non-Microsoft services and all non-essential startup group items, and to make sure any firewall is disabled and no virus scanners are running before trying to install.
    Other things known to conflict are iTunes, instant messengers, browser toolbars, and flash player (for which you'll find removal instructions at http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=1).
    The only other major hurdle I can think of is that some new systems don't have jscript.dll properly registered. To do that, go to the start menu and select RUN, then type (without the quotes) "regsvr32 jscript.dll" and click OK. You should see a message that it was registered successfully, and doing it again won't hurt anything.

  • Macbook Pro 2.6ghz i7 2013 system freeze when using Premiere/AME CC 2014

    I have a Macbook Pro i7 2.6ghz form late 2013 and I have been experiencing some serious problems with my system freezing while using Premiere Pro and whilst rendering from AME.
    I am running the latest version of CC (8.1) on OSX 10.9.5.
    GFX card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB
    RAM: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    I have CUDA enabled, I need the performance boost so rendering previews of the CPU is not much of a option for me.
    I have experienced this problem since I started running Premiere on my laptop (3 months ago). If I am doing any GPU hungry processes within Premiere or AME the system will freeze, when it freezes nothing will respond and the screen stays frozen, I have to do a manual shut down.
    I went as far as replacing the whole laptop with Apple as they put it down to a faulty GFX card, the new one has the same problem which leads me to think that the problem is with how Premiere and AME work with the new Macbook Pro's.
    These crashes happen up to three times a day if I'm doing a full day of editing and I have to make sure I don't push the system to hard to avoid it, the crashes don't tend to happen when I am editing 5D footage but they are quite frequent when editing 4k GH4 footage. I am working off multiple hard drives with valuable data which are put at risk when the system crashes. I normally work on a 6 core Mac Pro but next week I'll be pushing my laptop pretty hard with a full week of editing and I'd love to avoid these crashes.
    If more info and specs are needed to identify the problem, I'll be happy to provide them.
    Cheers, Moja.
    ps.
    My system just crashed twice today, once while writing this message, I had a project open in Premiere but I wasn't even editing, its currently 30 degrees in Melbourne, one of the hottest days of the year yet, which leads me to believe that the heat is contributing to the GFX card or CPU overloading.

    mojareeves1 wrote:
    I forgot to add that I have also updated to the latest nvidia card driver.
    My music seems to keep playing when the crash occurs which suggests the hard drive and other components are still running fine, its just the GFX card that is crashing.
    The GFX card may be a red herring if it still crashes in software mode and with the internal card.  The fact that you have music playing, however, may be a clue.  Programs that can access your audio hardware (like Soundflower) at the same time as Pr have been known to conflict and cause crashes.  Turn off any background audio processes.  Check your system audio settings, as well as Pr's audio and audio hardware settings. If you can, change the source of Pr's Desktop Audio in Preferences>Audio Hardware.  Try changing the ASIO settings.
    The next (and most painful) step would be to work your way meticulously through this document:
    Troubleshoot system errors, freezes | Mac OS 10.x | Adobe software
    The "Re-create Adobe application preferences" step often helps a lot.

  • Cannot open documents via doubleclick. must navigate thru folders

    I am helping an elderly gentleman. Suddenly he finds that doubleclicking on an Appleworks document does not open it. He has to navigate through the Finder-which is slower and confuses him.
    IF he reboots his Mac (iMac 17") everything again is ok and he can simply double click..
    But then the problem returns and he cannot open the documents again unless he reboots.
    Not sure what triggers the problem-it is not a corruption as the problem clears when reboot. Unless some sort of temporary cache or permission is involved?
    Slight suspicion this is related to updated Fax software but not sure. (PageSender)
    Has anyone had similar problem? Any known application conflicts?
    Responses welcome ... and Happy Holidays

    A couple of things might help. Whenever you do an update, & installing software can fall in this category, it's a good idea to do two maintenance tasks, one for the system (Repair Permissions) and one for AppleWorks (delete preferences). (Thanks to Barry for this way to format this very common answer.)
    To Repair permissions in 10.4.x, launch Disk Utility, found in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder, click on First Aid, then on Repair Permissions.
    To delete AppleWorks’ preference files, go to HD > Users > Library > Preferences. Find and delete the file com.apple.appleworks.plist. Find and open the folder AppleWorks in this Preferences folder, then delete all of the enclosed files (with the exception of the Button Bar Preferences if you have customized the Button Bars). AppleWorks will recreate the preference files as it needs them.
    Partly because AppleWorks 6 is actually an OS 9 application carbonized to run in OS X, there can be some confusion between AppleWorks files & OS X because pre-OS X systems don't use file extensions.
    Sometimes, merely "telling" OS X that AppleWorks is to open these files will work. Click a known AppleWorks document in the Finder to highlight it & choose Get Info from the File menu. In the Get Info box, click the triangle next to "Open With." Click on this drop-down menu & choose AppleWorks 6. If AppleWorks 6 is not a choice, choose "Other" & navigate to the AppleWorks 6 application. Now click the "Change" button under the text that asks if you want to open all documents like this with AppleWorks 6.
    If that doesn't work consistently, you can add the .cwk extension to the file names. This user tip explains how you can add the extension to whole folders of files at a time.

  • [Flash Pro CS5/.5] Debugger Launch Failed

    When I press Shift+Ctrl+Enter, I get this message:
    Happens with:
    Adobe Flash Professional CS5 and CS5.5 (I have both, happens with both)Happens with fresh installs of either - I haven't set any weird settings
    Actionscript 3 (any functional AS3 scripts)
    Operating system:
    Windows 7 x64
    I used to be able to debug, around April 2011, but for many months I have not been able to.
    I've search every thread on the internet regarding this problem and none of them have helped.
    I've tried:
    Uninstalling CS5 (or CS5.5), including deleteing preferences
    Uninstall Flash and ActiveX and reinstall the latest
    Changed my Windows "hosts" file to include "127.0.0.1 localhost"
    Uninstalled many programs such as VirtualBox, WinPcap, Wireshark
    Reinstalled Flash, Java, Adobe AIR
    I have no anti-virus or firewalls what-so-ever, there is no malware on my PCI have previously installed ClamWin AV and Malwarebytes, but they are now uninstalled
    Latest drivers for all my hardware - my PC is new (few months old)
    Running CCleaner
    I have used ComboFix on my PC
    Played with settings on my network adapter (disabling IPv6, change advanced options etc)
    I am able to ping myself successfully (ping 127.0.0.1, ping localhost) - both work
    What could be causing this problem?
    Are there any known software conflicts with Flash Professional?
    If anyone can help resolve this, you will certainly win thousands of internets. I've been at this problem for months.

    I had this same issue just this morning after updating from cs5 to cs5.5. I took a sort of shotgun torubleshooting approach to it, so I'm not sure what actual step did fix it but it did start working. I checked for updates through adobe help and updated(didn't fix it). I did the host thing as stated above, and restarted flash, didn't work. So i undid that. I then moved my cs5 fla file to a new folder only taking my images that were associated with it along too. I then cleared the debug log. I tried debuging and it worked. I think what really fixed it though was that I also go rid of the old debug xml file that gets created. When I moved to the new folder, I didn't take that file with me. It recreated when I tried debugging after the move. Hopefully this helps someone else that had this issue.

    [BUG FIXED, see "EDIT 2" at the end of my post]
    I'm on Firefox 3.6.21, and I got this problem today after a Greasemonkey update (To version 0.9.10, apparently).
    Disabling Greasemonkey solved the problem, and re-enabling it reproduced the problem (middle-clicking links to open in new tab did not work, merely highlighted the link).
    I should also note that while Greasemonkey was enabled and the bug was affecting me, Ctrl+Click to open links in new tabs was also broken.
    I hope this helps!
    EDIT: It appears this is a known incompatibility/conflict bug between current versions of Greasemonkey and Tab Mix Plus. Read more here:
    https://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/issues/1406
    EDIT 2: GREASEMONKEY HAS NOW BEEN UPDATED with a workaround to fix the problem. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/versions/ to install the update manually. It hasn't been reviewed by Mozilla yet, so it won't be an automatic update for another day or two. All credit to "cannonfodder" below for noticing this; please mark his post as helpful!

  • I can't launce Photoshop CS 6 from within Lightroom Properly.

    I'm using LIghtroom 4.1 RC2 Camera Raw 7.1 RC, CS6 Master Collection Trial Version, Windows 7
    This is a known issue / conflict with the Photoshop 6 Beta and Windows UAC that seems not to have been resolved (See detailed description below)?? If anyone knows of a workaround I would be VERY Grateful… Turning UAC off is not an option nor does it rectify  the problem.
    When I select an image right click and choose Edit In “Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS6…” Windows throws a UAC User Account Control warning “Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer” choosing yes opens Photoshop CS6 but the image is never created. I have to exit out of Photoshop. After Photoshop has closed (And a few minutes) Lightroom will then display “The File could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS6 could not be launched…” I then get a second UAC User Account Control warning “Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer” and the file is created and opens up in Photoshop. (The last part never happened in the Beta but at least Lightroom now creates a .psd file (In the Beta, I had to first create the PSD using Photoshop 5.1)
    However I still can’t get Lightroom to open a dng as a smart object in Photoshop Edit In /  “Open up in Photoshop as a Smart Object” to work at all!! This is ultamatly what I would perfer to be able to do.
    This info below was posted here - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1002135
    Unfortunately it doesn’t seem that the problem with User Profiles (where the user profile doesn’t reside in the default location C:\Users\XXX) has been resolved… took two days but I finally was able to down load and install Master Collection…
    In Windows there is an Administer Icon on lower 1/3 of the Photoshop Icon, indicating that you need to “Run As Administrator” which wasn’t present in the Beta. And when application is launched “User Account Controls” does prompted you “Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer”
    On the - Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe I have changed the “Change Settings for All Users” to “Run this program as Administrator” but as with the Beta I still get the User Account Controls prompt each time I launce Photoshop!
    It was a real problem with Lightroom 4… I was never able to create a smart object  psd in Lightroom. And creating a psd file required that I create the PSD using Photoshop 5.5 and only after creating the 5.5 PSD could I open the file in Photoshop 6.
    Is there some stem that I have missed or some other work around???

    I tried the solution I posted last night (http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/edit-photoshop-command-missin g-photoshop.html) and it didn't work uninstall / reinstalling CS6 also doesn't work!! Finaly I went into the Registry and removed all referances to Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 (there are a number of them) and pointed them to Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 but that also doesnt work!!!
    The only solotion sofare is what I posted earlier... adding a pointer in "Edit In" to the 32bit version of Photoshop. Dut as I stated it still dosen't alow me to open in Photoshop as a Smart Object -- I GIVE UP!!!!
