Newly installed After Effects CS6 won't launch.

Error: "You can't use this version of After Effects with the current version of OS.  Using Mac OS 10.9.4  Adobe system requirements as follows:
Mac OS X v10.6.8, v10.7, or v10.8**  All other applications in Production Premium launch and function as normal.

Updated AE CS6 to version 11.0.4.  Did the trick! (Of course, I had to defeat the AdobeCrashDaemon using the Mac Activity utility before the update would install).
Thanks for the help!!

  • After Effects CS6 Won't Launch After Mavericks Upgrade.

    Hi All,
    I have seen a few posts regarding this and have scoured the web for few hours looking for answers. So far all I have found are patches from Adobe and their asking that we uninstall and reinstall the app.
    None of this has worked so far.
    In fact I've gone from an error of "Can't use this version" to adding the patches to now getting "After Effects Cannot Be Opened Because Of A Problem". It goes on to add this...
    Check with the developer to make sure Adobe After Effects CS6 works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X.
    Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple.
    Two questions:
    1. Is there a fix for this?
    2. If not, how can I revert back to 10.8 without losing everything.

    Ok, I found one more article talking about upgrading to 11.3 upgrade instead of 11.4(latest). Finaly worked. Hope this helps someone else, this was painful.

  • Trouble installing After Effects cs6 on my new Yosemite system.

    I then attempted to install all the software from my old computer. Installed Entire cs6 suite, after effects is greyed out.
    When i tried to open, i received an error " You can’t use this version of the application “Adobe After Effects CS6” with this version of OS X. You have “Adobe After Effects CS6” 11.0. "
    I then read online that there was fix by updating to After Effects to 11.4. Due to the fact that i cant open program to update from within i downloaded update and tried to install via the installer. I acts like it it will start even giving a timeline of how long it will take then closes and says update failed.
    It then says you can look at error log, when i do it says  " Adobe After Effects CS6 (11.0.4) update Update is not applicable. Error Code: U44M2P28 ".
    Anyone knows how i can fix this issue and get after effects working? Thanks in advance

    There have been a few people having problems getting updates and a few different solutions. It all depends on what's messed up on your machine.
    It could be as simple as fixing permissions: fixing permissions problem that impedes start of Adobe applications
    Somewhat advanced, but it worked for somebody: Unable to upgrade to 11.0.1 for AE CS6
    You may have to defeat a daemon... Newly installed After Effects CS6 won't launch.
    One solution for a different OS and AE version, but might solve it: Mavericks and AE 12.0/12.1/12.2

    Do I need to re-download? Is there a funky setting on my system?
    Looked in the forum and used the Adobe Support Advisor.  It sent me to log files to look around and all I see is the same info.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Unistall any ACR Betas on your system you may have used. Also simply run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and reinstall everything Adobe.

  • After Effects Cs6 Won't Open. Error Code: 16

    I use After Effects Cs6 on a daily basis but now when i try opening the program, an error window pops up saying that i need to uninstall and reinstall the program but i don't want to lose all my plugins for the program. What do i do?

    ...i don't want to lose all my plugins for the program. What do i do?
    First thing, make certain you actually have to reinstall.  For example, what happens if you just turn off the computer, go have a cup of coffee, then turn it back on, launch AE and open a project file?  Or if you mess with your multiprocessing settings, and double-check the drivers for your third-party card?
    No Joy?
    Write down all the pulgins you installed.  Gather all the applicable installers.  Follow Mylenium's advice on the Cleaner Tool when uninstalling, then bite the bullet and reinstall the plugins.  It's a Right Royal Pain, but you'll have to do it.  Sorry, no shortcuts here.

    And not to point out the obvious: a 13" MBP may not meet the system requirements due to the limited screen resolution.

  • After Effects CS6 won't open: "After Effects warning: An unknown Adobe Player Engine error has occurred. Scripting will be disabled."

    I cleared my computer but I managed to get After Effects CS6 back by looking in Windows old on my hard drive, every time I try and open AAE I get this error message "After Effects warning: An unknown Adobe Player Engine error has occurred. Scripting will be disabled."
    What should I do?
    Thanks.

    Does it launch after that error message?
    What version of CS6 is it? 11.0.4? If not, try updating to it.
    Why not simply reinstall from your original disk or download?

  • Desperately need help ASAP!!! Issue with installing After effects CS6 trial version

    I downloaded the After Effects CS6 trial, but when I tried to run the patch installer, it told me to download adobe app manager. I did so, but when I try and run the patch installer again, it says in app manager that "Update failed. Update could not be applied." Please, I have really important work that I need to do, and I just cant get this thing to work. PLEASE HELP

    it says I need to update, but when I click on updates within aam, it just says "you're good! No new updates" Is there somewhere specific I need to go to update? Because the only options I have are all & Updates :/

  • Premiere (and After Effects) CS6 won't open anymore!

         Hi everyone,
    Recently, I've been working on a project which required a dynamic link between After Effects and Premiere CS6 on my MacBook Pro, which runs OSX Mountain Lion. Everything worked great until yesterday, when I got an error message that said something along the lines of "Adobe Premiere has encountered an error. We will try to save your project and restart Premiere again".
         I re-opened Premiere, and although the same thing happened again a few times, I was finally able to get back to my project. Today, however, the same message appeared when I opened it again. I went through the same routine again, opening it and then exiting out, but this time, it didn't work.
         Not only is Premiere not opening, it is no longer even showing the error message. It simply goes to the loading screen and the the infamous "Spinning Beach Ball of Death" appears. I've force quit multiple times and re-started my computer with every application closed. I've also relaunched Finder (I honestly don't think that would help, but I tried anyways) - still, the loading sign freezes and the SBBOD appears again.
         Instead of sitting there trying to fix it and wasting my time, I tried opening After Effects to at least work on the linked compositions that were in my Premiere project. I then get this message before After Effects force quits automatically:
    "Last log message was: <140735255806336> <GPUManager> <2> Sniffer Result Code: 3
    Generating crash log, which may take a few minutes."
    So, apparently this has something to do with my GPU or CPU? I'm not really that educated when it comes to GPUs, so I'm not sure what to do now. I have a CUDA Driver Version 5.5.47 on my computer (I'm not entirely sure how it got there in the first place...), and System Preferences has been notifying me that it needs to be updated. I heard somewhere, on a different forum, that this may have something to do with it, so I downloaded what I thought was a newer version of the driver, although this just turned out to be the same version (5.5.47) that I already have (which seems to be the newest one).
    So, what do you think I should do? Is there something very specific that should be done? Does it have something to do with this CUDA thing? Is the best option to just uninstall and then reinstall?
    If you have any ideas, let me know!
    Thank you!

    Thank you so much, Mr. Curtis! I'm not sure exactly how that worked, but it allowed me to get back on both AE and Premiere Pro. 10 points to you!
    Also, for the  other people that may have similar problems and are viewing this forum, definitely try this out. Listen to Jim's advice, don't use the most recent version (which is currectly 5.5.47) - instead try a slightly older one. The one I had installed was version 5.5.24.
    Once again, thank you! You saved my project!

  • Can I install After Effects CS6 and CC12 on the same computer?

    I'm using CS6 in a class, and one of my students used CC12 to complete his project. Since CS6 can't open a CC12 project, I want to install CC12 onto my computer to open and view it, but I want to make sure that it won't screw up my ability to open up everyone else's projects who are using CS6. Also, I don't want to use CC12 because our school only has CS6, and I don't want to do anything at home that I can't bring to school.
    In the past, I've had trouble with installing dupliate versions of a software, and don't want to have to uninstall, and reinstall CS6...

    This is standard practice for most users when they upgrade. There are no conflicts.
