My Adobe CC apps no longer work at all (Windows 8) - they just crash

I successfully used Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Pro on my laptop (which uses Windows 8) for a full year. Creative Cloud version. While it wasn't ideal, and some day I will switch to a Mac, I was able to get the job done. Two months ago, Premiere Pro stopped working. It crashed every time I opened it. I removed it from my computer and re-downloaded it - no improvement. Photoshop then started to get REALLY slow, I did the same process (removed and redownloaded), and no improvement. Last week, it started crashing every time. So now, I'm paying $50/mo for software I cannot use. At all. I can't even crop a photo. Can someone please help me figure out why this is happening and what I can do to fix it - or even to figure out how to go about diagnosing the problem? Everything else on my laptop is working just fine as far as I can tell. No crashes unless I try to open my Adobe programs.

Photoshop and Premiere Pro have STRONG ties to the graphics adapter and driver, and Windows Updates have a LONG history of breaking drivers
What is your exact brand/model graphics adapter (ATI or nVidia or ???)
What is your exact graphics adapter driver version?
Have you gone to the vendor web site to check for a newer driver?
For Windows, do NOT rely on Windows Update to have current driver information
-you need to go direct to the vendor web site and check updates for yourself
ATI Driver Autodetect http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/auto-detect-tool
nVidia Driver Downloads http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
Dual video problems
Go to the Windows Control Panel and select Hardware and Sound and then select Device Manager... In Device manager you click the + sign to the left of Display Adapters... and see if 2 are listed
IF YES, read below

  • HT204407 This App no longer works. All I get is location cannot be found now

    Find my friends no longer works.

    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
    You can try if it works if you disable OOPP (Out-Of-Process-Plugins).
    You can set the prefs dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.* to false on the about:config page to disable the plugin-container process.
    dom.ipc.plugins.enabled (currently false by default)
    dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll (Flash)
    dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npctrl.dll (Silverlight)
    dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npqtplugin.dll (QuickTime)
    To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
    You can also try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player: [[Cannot view full screen Flash videos]]

  • Adobe Flash Player no longer works

    Adobe Flash Player no longer works. I can't access FB games, videos, YouTube and other items needing Adobe Flash Player. I've uninstalled, re-installed, tried to update but was told not necessary as it is updated yet constantly get an error message that I have to have Flash Player before I can use that app. Any advice or suggestions? BTW, it worked Monday night but not Tuesday a.m. with no changes to anything in between.

  • Brand new IPOD Touch Apps no longer work after upgrading software

    I got a Ipod touch for my wife Today at Wal-Mart. I brought it home, connected to wifi and downloaded some apps and also payed for some. They all worked fine. Then I connected to computer to transfer songs. It told me to upgrade the Ipod software so i Did. After it restarted none of the downloaded apps work anymore. I have read MANY MANY MANY discussions on this and there is no fix. I am not wiping out all the songs and reload everything all over again. It will take forever. My wifes BD is Friday and this is making me so mad after I just dropped $300 on this thing. APPLE!!! Where is the fix? I deleted the apps and reinstalled they still don't work. Anybody got this figured out? I am getting ready to get my money back and tell everyone to avoid buying ipod until they get this upgrade bug fixed.
    Message was edited by: 2009 IPOD TOUCH

    I have the same problem. Brand new two days ago. I synched the touch with Itunes but wasn't hooked up to the internet at the time so didn't do the software upgrade right away. Then I downloaded about a dozen apps (free and paid) with wifi directly to the touch. They all worked fine. Then I plugged it back in to Itunes and had it upgrade it to 3.1.2. It locked up Itunes several times since then and the downloaded apps no longer work (they start to open then disappear).
    The problem is, no one is listening to this problem (including Anna above)! Everyone says "just do a hard reboot, or restore to factory settings, reload the apps, etc." I've tried all the standard troubleshooting but none of it fixes this. It sure seems to me this is a problem with 3.1.2 but Apple isn't helping out here. Where are you APPLE? Use some of those outrageous profits you're making to fix the problem you have created. Here's $300 of my hard earned dollars pretty much down the drain.

  • I have ios 5.1.1. When I sync to iTunes, my purchased apps no longer work. They blink but do not open. The only way I have been able to solve this, is as follows: I delete one of the apps and then re-download and install it. Then, all my apps work.

    My new iPod touch 64 Gig has a problem after syncing with iTunes. My purchased apps no longer work. I touch them and they seem to try to open but they do not.
    The only way I have found to fix this is as follows:
    I delete one of the purchased apps. Then I go to the App Store and re-download and install the same app. After that, all my apps work again.
    Please help.

    Download/install an app is a know possible solution.
    3. Install another app from the App Store
    If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
    Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

    Thanks for responding. Since I upgraded ITUNES to IOS 6, my IPOD Touch no longer works at all. I had numerous apps, music and videos on this touch. It made me restore to factory reset and it still does not work!!! Nothing I do will work on this touch now. I have so much data on this, I don't want to loose or have to restore!
    Can you help me?
    Thanks

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • IPad app no long works after upgrading to iOS 7.1.1

    iPad app no long works after upgrading to iOS 7.1.1

    Did you try deleting then reinstalling the app?  Sometimes developers will need to update their apps for compatibility.  If it still doesn't work after reinstalling, wait a few days to see if an app update becomes available.

    my ipod app no longer works. Everytime I go to open the ipod app it stays open for a second and then shuts down. I am not able to get anything to play either through the standard ipod controls or the multitasking control panel. I'm sure there will be an update soon to correct this, i just wanted to see if anyone else was having the same problem.
    wen i open ipod in my iphone ,, it gets stuck ,, and get backs to the menu ,,, and doesnot play anything ,, not video nor song

    If your phone is not officially unlocked by the carrier in the UK, you can not use the phone using another SIM, unless you modify the software or the SIM, which can lead to unexpected results, such as non functioning apps.
    Unauthorized modification of iPhone OS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues
    Problems resulting from those modifications can't be discussed in these forums, due to the Terms of Use

  • Mail App no longer working after 2.0 upgrade

    I upgraded to 2.0 on my IPhone Edge and now my mail application no longer works AT ALL. If I try to open it, it simply shows me a blank mail screen, waits for a few seconds and then returns to the home screen. Strangely enough, I have been able to send email photos using the camera application.
    Email is the most important application for me on the iPhone! Has anyone encountered this problem? Is there a fix available?

    I recently stopped by the apple store and have fixed my mail app! The problem as described to me was caused by a installing apps. Turns out that apps can mess with Mail setting in some way and perhaps due to a bad setting or a bad combination of settings my mail application stopped working. The way I fixed it was to do a restore to New Iphone which, unfortunately, wipes everything! But after syncing back up including re-installing all of my apps, mail works again! Of course, I lost all of my notes, various settings, and lots of other stuff. Turns out that a simple restore, since it backs up your phone beforehand (backing up bad settings at the same time) is not the silver bullet but a full restore to new iphone probably often is. Hope this helps others.

    Dear ladies and gentlemen!
    I recently received on my notebook, operating system 8.1, the message "Adobe Acrobat is no longer working properly". I also found myself that I can copy from einerPDF file excerpts not without problems in another document. My Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro has released version 9.0.0. Two updates this version is not listed. Please inform me how I can fix this problem.
    Sincerely, Walter Hacksteiner
    mailto: [email protected]

    The first thing I would try is to update Acrobat 9 to the latest version 9.5.5
    The next thing would be to run Acrobat 9 in Windows 7 or Vista or XP Compatibility Mode.

  • You Tube App no longer working iPad1 Workaround loses all my saved favorites Why?

    Hi everyone!
    The default youtube app on my iPad1, IOS 5.1.1 stopped working about a week ago, presenting "cannot connect to You Tube " as the only Error message.  No Explanation.. no choices... . It shows a sign in screen, no data can be accepted as it says it "cannot connect to You Tube".
    I tried contacting You Tube by various means.  Almost impossible to get through.  I got a phone number.  But they had overload for a week or two now, so saying call back at another time for the "You Tube" choice 3.  Now it says Choice 5 for You Tube questions and a recorded message (no possibility to speak to a human) directs us to go to "You Tube" .com / support.  No help there...  old old connection problems solved back in 2009 and iPods, iPhones  NO iPads at all...  Frustrated...I left that avenue.
    I went to this Help Forum called reddit (before I realized they stole your apple logo) but their answers said to try using the Internet version of You Tube to get around this problem.  So I managed to get the You Tube "mobile" connection on the web to work instead.
    BUT!  All my saved/favorites from the iPad 1  are missing!
    Instead there is a hodgepodge of various You Tubes I've views on other computer devices I've used to access the web from the same ISP, but NOT the sign in /log in for the iPad1!
    How to get my old iPad login working again for all of my favorite You Tube (mostly valuable computer tutorials?  Mostly they are on how to use various apps on the iPad that would take long time or "forever" to search again to get back.
    How to get all my years (five!!) of saved favorite You Tubes  I carry with me on the iPad back again?  (I can't carry a desktop computer around, right?).
    What is going on here?? 
    Does anyone else experience this problem?
    The initial question here came up empty as no one on Apple Community has asked this question before!  Does that mean I'm the only one here asking about the You Tube App on the Apple Community?
    Thank you for reading my long trial and error in trying to repair this issue.

    From what I have been reading on other sites, the app stopoed working when the iPhone 4S was released since it includes Siri. If you look at the box on the right of this thread, you will see other threads just like this one on how the app no longer works.

  • Apps no longer working on Original iPhone...

    Acckk!
    As each new upgrade happens some of my apps no longer work and there is no access to older versions of these apps.
    Scanforlife, on this day, etc. now refuse to load on to the phone. Have had issues with AOL Radio which no longer works and was on my main screen, but had to take it off as it wasn't working.
    Appears that one way or another our original iphones are truly being set out to pasture.

    Do you have backups of your hard disc/library to restore the original Apps (ips files) after deleting the updated ones ?
