Portable HD doesn't launch on MAC
Just got another external portable 160GB hard drive from Western Digital-- It doesn't launch on my computer. How can I see the external drive?
Hi sometimes the single plug usb cable does not provide enough power for for those little western digital passport drives.
Western Digital will on request send you a double power usb cable.
Or you can pick on up very cheaply from any good computer store.
or you can try amazon

Illustrator CC doesn't launch with Mac OS 10.6.8
I recently install Illustrator CC on my Mac OS 10.6.8 system and when I try to launch it the icon bounces a few times in the dock then goes away. I did a little digging into this and saw that the system requirements on the web page specific for Illustrator says OS 10.7 is needed, but the main page for CC says 10.6. Also, someone in my department is running OS 10.6.8 and his Illustrator CC is working. The only difference is that his Illustrator says it's version 17.1, mine says 17.0. My Adobe Application Manager says Illustrator is "Up to date".
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
MikeMike have you tried removing and reinstalling Illustrator CC? During the install process available updates will be applied which should allow you to update to version 17.1.0. You can find more details regarding uninstalling and reinstalling at CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.

I recently installed all the of CC 2014 applications and noticed that in Photoshop CC 2014, when I choose the "Browse in Bridge" menu option it doesn't launch Bridge at all. Instead it opens the Creative Cloud desktop application window instead. I have the latest version of Bridge installed as well. If I have Bridge running, the menu option also just opens the CC window and doesn't bring Bridge to the front either. I have PS installed on both a Mac (10.9.3) and Windows (8.1) and the behaviour is the same.
I only Run windows and my install of CC 2014 works correctly and launches Bridge CC. Bridge CC was also updated to launch CC 2014 and not CC 14.2.1.
Hers is my Photoshop CC 2014 help>System info... You may want to compare your windows systems CC 2014 info to it.

Adobe Creative Suite 5 Web Premium won't launch on Mac
I use 13 inch MacBook Air. I downloaded Adobe Creative Suite 5 Web Premium from my college. It has Flash, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Illustrator CS5. But only Flsh and Dreamweaver launch when I click them. When I click Photoshop and Illustrator, nothing happends.
I tried uninstalling them and reinstalled but still not launching. I updated mac to mavericks and installed the java update but still nothing happens when I click them. Also Acrobat Pro I downloaded from my college doesn't launch either.
Let me know if you need any more information about my device.
Thank you for your help.illustrator cs5 has been reported as incompatible, ps cs5 compatible and i can't tell which acrobat pro version you're trying to use.
in any case, here's a user-based mac compatibility table:

Doesn´t launch again
Hello,
my Muse doesn´t launch any more (strange I worked with it yesterday) I talked to the chat, an the support line. I created a new MacUser, logged in and it worked, but on my account it breaks. I repaired the accessrights on the mac, uninstalled an installed Muse, no success.
Only if i restart the computer it works and start muse right after that, it works.
Maybe you have an idea
thanks very muchDid you go to Applications/Utilities and find the upgrader app and then double click it?

Downloaded apps won't launch on mac
My computer died. (2007 iMac). The logic board failed. The internal drive was fine. It is now an external hard drive and is copied to another external for backup. I am using the backup (much younger hard drive hardware) as the boot drive on my MacBook Pro. Problem is...none of my purchased Mac App Store applications launch. They bounce once. If I'm lucky, an Apple ID/password dialog pops up telling me the app was purchased on another computer and to enter my credentials to install it on the present computer. (I learned that the apps have a tie to the GUID, a hardware key, and hence my failed logic board and running now via a surrogate MacBook Pro is tripping up the App Store apps.) So, I click OK and it twirls a moment and then disappears. The app doesn't launch still, automatically after the re-verification of authenticity or by me clicking/double-clicking on it again. Just one bounce in the dock, then nothing. I tried deleting the app, logging out of the Mac App Store, and back in, and going to the Purchases page and the App still says "Installed" so I can't re-download it from the Store. I'm stumped! Anybody else figure this one out, or do we wait for Apple to discover it and release a new Mac App Store with corrected re-verification code?
Many thanks.Try a hard reset and go from there.

Lightroom CC 5 doesn't launch after 2014 update.
Lightroom CC 5 doesn't launch after 2014 update. Mac OSX 10.8.5. Tried the suggestion to log out of Adobe Cloud and log back in. Also rebooted computer. No luck. Photoshop CC 2014 seems to have installed perfectly. Can't install previous version either, can't even find it via Adobe Cloud. Tried re-downloading from Adobe web site but it sits there saying "downloading now" -- but nothing is downloading!
Charr please see Not able to launch Lightroom after updating it to 5.5 from Creative Cloud for possible solutions to allow Lightroom to open.

File compare won't launch on mac
mtn lion
tried two diff file compare utilities
both open fine when launched directly
neither actually open a file compare when trying from within the dreamweaver interface. e.g., select a file and try a compare with remote. or resolve when syncing. just doesn't launch. ideas?Using Mountain Lion as well and encountered the same issue with DW 5.5.
Solution I found was to use use the path to diffmerge shell script (when using diffmerge), instead of to the actual application (.app).
In my case, that was "Macintosh HD:usr:bin:diffmerge". I began to use the steps here (http://xaviesteve.com/3096/compare-files-with-dreamweaver-in-mac-osx-step-by-step-guide/), but found that the script already existed.
Hope that helps. -
Finder doesn't launch properly
My finder doesn't launch properly and does not respond each time I start up my mac. I can't seem to click on anything. I'm still able to open applications like iTunes but my computer will just keep bonging after i've done so. The problem will resolve after I relaunch my finder. Although this may seem like a small matter, the problem keeps coming back as and when I'm using the computer. This started only after updating the system to 10.5.8, when my screen only showed a grey screen post-installaion. I had to off the mac maunally by holding on the power button. I've updated the system to 10.6, but that wouldn't solve the problem.
Utility check is fine.
Will someone please help me? This is the first mac that i have, and i've just converted from windows, having given up hope on it.I'm leaning towards backing up your data, erase the disk, and reinstall SL. There appears to be a system-wide problem that has hung around from your previous system. Trying to hunt down the problem will likely take longer than doing the erase and install and re-importing your data.

illustrator cs3 crashes upon launch in mac os 10.4.11
illustrator cs3 does not complete its launch in mac os 10.4.11.
[i'm running a powermac dual 1.25 ghz power pc g4 mirror door].
the same happens with indesign cs3.
photoshop cs3 launches just fine.
can anyone help?
thanks.You might try trashing the settings folder.
It could be a font issue or a font cache issue as well
to trash the settings folder you go to
User/Username/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings
The font cache that could becuasing the problems would be found by doing a search for AdobeFnt.lst they usually have a number after Fnt like 01 or 11
They can be trashed and new fresh ones will be made but this could be a corrupt font.
This is a bit old but you might look at this as well. But you have an older system so it may apply.

Trying to use portable hard drive on both my Mac and PC...
I just purchased a Toshiba Canvio Plus 1TB portable hard drive for my three Macs. Out of the box, I need to format the drive for Mac, which is fine, but I just found out that my fiance would also like to use it for her work computer, which is a PC running Windows XP. I need your help in finding out how to read and write to this portable drive from both a Mac and PC.
I thought about partitioning the drive but that wouldn't work because we want both systems to access the same data. After doing a few Google searches, I thought formatting the drive to a FAT32 would be the answer but I read that file sizes can't exceed 4GB. Since I purchased this specifically to complement my new HD camcorder, a 4GB file size limit will not work for us.
One last thing, since she has a company-issued PC, I'm pretty sure she's unable to install third party software and/or drivers. So please factor that in.
What would be our best solution? Thank you so much for all your help.

two possible ways:
(a) format the drive for Mac and install MacDrive on the winsloth machine(s)
(b) format the drive NTFS and install the _*NTFS 3G*_ driver on the Mac(s)

I just purchased a software upgrade to OSX Lion. I received an e-mail that says, "To install your software, you simply launch the Mac App Store, click "Redeem"• found under Quick Links and enter your content code(s). How do I "launch the Mac App Store?"
Assuming you are running OS X 10.6.6 or later (10.7.x Lion, 10.8.x Mountain Lion or 10.9.x Mavericks), go to the Apple Menu (top left-hand corner of the screen)>App Store and it should become clear from there.
