Launch of program stalls out at Starting up Service Registry
When I go to launch the InDesign program, it starts to load then stalls at the Starting Up Service Registry point and won't finish loading. I've tried to reinstall but it made no difference. How can I fix this?
I'm running an Alienware M17XR3 with Intel Core i7-2820QM CPU @ 2.30GHz, 8 GB of Ram on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit operating system. I've had to uninstall the InDesign program since it was failing to finish loading and started to cause general problems with my computer and other programs. After uninstalling and selecting to include preferences in the uninstall then deleting C:\Users\(my user name)\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign file, I reinstalled the program from Adobe Application Manager and its still not loading completely.
This is where it stops and sits forever. Why won't it finish loading?

"starting up service registry" makes InDesign crash?
I am trying to run a trail version of CS5 InDesign from my Mac tower. 10.5.8 version of OSX.
Other program like Photoshop open no problem, but Indesign crashes when the intializing window gets to "starting up service registry".
What does this mean? How do I get InDesign to open?
his is the 2nd free trial I have installed - I have uninstalled it twice.
I would buy it - but given the problems I am having I am very reluctant to invest. This project seemed like a good opportunity to test it out.
Thank youThis is very often associated withthe SING system. The knowledgebase has little about it for CS5, but check out http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/328/328886.html and http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408816.html
You may find some more advice on disabling the SING plugin (only required for working with Asian languages) or renaming the SING folder if you do a search on this forum for SING. Use the localized search widget onthe discussions page, rather than the general search at the top of all pages: -

CC C6 Programs stall out during installation?
I have purchased the CC CS6 but I am having a very difficult time with the AAM or with downloading and installation. Downloading from the AAM takes a lifetime even though I have a high speed connection. Then the installation always stalls out usually at the 29% mark and I can never finish the install. I have tried downloading the trial and then installing but the same thing happens. Its now been ten days since I purchased and I am getting very frustrated and may have to cancel the subscription. Another thing that I have noticed is that the stall usually occurs when the installer is trying to install AdobeHelp. I could use some help.. anybody have suggestions?

Not able to consume any service out of ESR or Service Registry
Hello Guys,
I have installed trial version of SAP NetWeaver CE 7.1 EHP 1^with ESR. I have also install Visual Composer. I want to make some exercises to make my concept clear but I am not able to find any service from the Find option in the VC. I have also tried to consume any service in Webdynpro project and trying to create model from ESR or Service Registry but It does not connect to ESR.
Your recommendations are welcome.
Regards,
Naeem KhanHi Manohar,
Can you please explain something in more detail????
Because I have already configured ESR and SR accoding to installation manual and I have also seen the webminar of installation of SAP NW CE 7.1 with ESR line is here
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/elearn?rid=/library/uuid/704fe668-2cf4-2a10-a38c-8604e4989d49&overridelayout=true
One thing I am not sure about is, when I go to configure initial setup by using configuration wizard. There is one error (file missing on importing XI content) when I am going to execture "Configuration of ESR in CE" task from the task list in the configuration wizard. I think becasue of that I am not able to consume services in VC and webdynpro projects!!!
What do you say???
If also think the same then can I install some how missing xi content to ESR??? I have seen on service market place when I go to ESR - component list.
Or you recommend me to install PI/XI on my server then this missing component should be installed automatically???
Regards,
Naeem -
Auto start BI Services for OBIEE 11G
Hi,
We have installed OBIEE 11.1.1.7 on Windows 2008 64 bit operating system and we have restarted the server after successful install.
Now the issue is OBIEE is not accessible after reboot,it is running only if i run the Start BI Services under All Programs --> Oracle Business Intelligence --> Start BI Services and
this not accessible once i log off from the server.
I don't want very time login and start the obiee using all programs,instead i want to install a Windows service that will all run the BI Services,so that Users can access the OBIEE independent of
my login.
I tried many times installing the services for Admin and BI Server but even though the services are install/running successfully,but still not able to access the OBIEE URL.

Start as Service - process name confilcts
Lookuout v5.1 running on Windows XP SP2
We have Lookout set to run as a service. When we log onto Windows then attempt to open the Lookout procees file we get a "Cannot open file: process name confilcts with that of currently running process." error. The only thing I can find related in the help file is the requirement to Log On to Lookout, but I get the same error after logging on to Lookout then trying to open the process. Any idea what I am missing here?
Thanks in advance,
EdI believe that you get that error because the process is already running as service.
The user interface should appear once the service is started. The problem is why you can't see the user interface when it is running.
Lookout 5.1 starts up as service on my xp computer without any problem. It's running just like I launch lookout.exe.
If you start the service manually, will lookout start up and user interface appear?

IPhoto stalls out importing videos only - doesn't make it to "finish import"
Problem for the last 6 months - pretty sure when I upgraded to Mavericks. Tried everything as I am a bit of a problem solver with this kind of thing but I can no longer try.
My system:
MacPro Early 2009
2x2.66 Ghz Quad Core Intel Xeon
16GB RAM
MacOS 10.9.4
iPhoto 9.5.1
all current.
It started about 6-8 months ago when I tried importing a batch of photos and it did the spinning wheel of death somewhere in the middle. other days, it wouldn't do it at all. I finally figured out that it was stalling out on video imports only. These are videos taken only from my iPhone 5 running current software (always current). So upon isolating the issue - commanding the iPhoto to import a sample 11 second video - iPhoto imports the video - then immediately stalls before it makes it to "finishing import" - it looks like this with a spinning wheel of death for eternity until I force quit.
Upon re-opening of the program, I get the following prompt.
If I say yes, then it goes through that whole process again and I have to force quit. If I say no - I get the following prompt.
If I open that folder - there is the movie file in its entirety and it plays fully and completely if I open it in QT player. No problems at all.
So then I decided to try importing a video from SOMEONE ELSE'S iPhone 5 to see if it was my PHONE that was the problem. But the same thing happened. Then I tried using someone else's computer using the exact same software but it is a MacBook Pro. And this worked no problem - so my phone is able to have photos imported into iPhoto, but it's not on my computer.
I rebuilt the iPhoto library using the command+option on opening. I repaired permissions on the MacHD. I tossed the preference files in the /Library/Preferences for iPhoto. I restarted, rebuilt and retried.
Nothing works. I created a new iPhoto library on an external drive in the hopes that maybe my iPhoto Library had become corrupted. Still didn't want to import.
Image Capture brings all things in but keeps them isolated from iPhoto so not the best scenario since I want to keep all of them in folders on iPhoto.
Nothing seems to work.
Can anyone think of anything that I have NOT tried, and/or anything I can do to get my videos from my iPhone into iPhoto? I know its not the ideal software program anymore, but I would like to be able to at the very least have them as part of the library so that I can get them off my phone in case something were to happen with my phone!
Thanks in advance...
TimTry reinstall then.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always. -
Error from debugger: Error launching remote program: security policy error
Hi all,
I bought yesterday the license for Iphone Developer, I'm programming
an app and would like to start testing it on my iPhone (EDGE, OS 2.1).
I'm using osx 10.5.5 on a MacBookPro, and latest SDK. Developing
and testing on simulator is ok, I followed all the procedure for requesting
certificates, downloading them, the provisioning file and dragged on
Xcode, I can see the iPhone with my provision name enabled for developing
in the Organizer view, and I followed instructions to configure Xcode to develop
on my device changing relevant options in the targets as explained online.
When I try to develop on device I get all the process, file is transferred
on device, but when launching I receive the error
Error from debugger: Error launching remote program: security policy error
Also when I try to launch the app from the phone it says there was
an error and it's not possible to lauch the app. Is that an error in my
steps configuring Xcode or is it something else?
Thanks,
GiancarloNever mind, I found it out, if you follow the exact guideline of apple, you will... get this error always
What you need is to make sure you have filled out the proper fields such as your bundle ID, although apple says it's auto-filled, it's not, in my case. you will need to change it from 'com.yourcompany....' to the one you set up on iphone dev site, such as 'com.toughgamer.testApp' in my case.
