Premiere & AE CC will not launch/respond on new iMac

I bought a brand new iMac last week in order to complete a video project.
I'm running OS 10.9, and installed the Premiere Pro and After Effects CC Trials yesterday.
NEITHER program will complete launch with the "Admin User" account I imported from my old Mac, but they WILL launch and work fine from a NEW "Admin User" account I created as a test.
I ran the Adobe CLEANER, did uninstalls and re-installs of BOTH programs and the Adobe CC Desktop. No luck.
This is what happens:
Premiere spends a couple minutes trying to launch...and then fails. The launch graphic sits there for a couple minutes, then seems like it might be making progress. "Loading ExporterQuickTimeHost.bundle"hits the progress screen, and after 30 seconds of that "Adobe Premiere Pro CC quit unexpectedly."
After Effects gives an error immediately upon launch
"After Effects warning: Could not rename the file '/Users/drleek/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/12.1/Workspaces.2147.1407351242514081.xml' to 'Workspaces.xml'."
with an additional error
"After Effects can’t continue: unexpected failure during application startup"
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Hey blankenship and cmiller815,
Not sure if you ever got the problem fixed, but I was having the same issue you described and was able to find a solution. I tried all the troubleshooting steps outlined in this discussion; deleting prefs, uninstall, re-install, etc. and found that the answer was to go to the folder in the prefs /Users/username/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/12.1/Workspaces.2147.1407351242514081.xml' and to set the permissions to allow read and write for all users on the machine on the main 12.1 folder. I should add that I also ran a permissions repair using disk utility thinking that it would resolve my issue but it didn't. It seems that for some reason the permissions got messed up after doing my data migration with migration assistant to my new iMac.
I was prompted to try this from because of this thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/5863018#5863018
I hope this helps and that you figure out your issue.

Elements 8 will not launch on my new imac.I

I have just purchased an imac so new to this os and i bought elements 8 at same time ,however when the disc is inserted the icon appears in right hand top corner but the disc does not launch- any ideas????

There is no auto run for the mac version. Double click the disk to open it. Double click Photoshop Elements. Double click Setup.

Foxfire 4.0 will not launch, just down new loaded, to MAC G4 and clicked on new Icon. Any Help.

Downloaded upgrade 4.0 into Mac Applications and dragged New Icon into Shortcuts. The a window popped up stating a new security update needs to be installed. Clicked install and it run ... connecting to server for several minutes, but never seemed to connect.
In the mean time I tried to open 4.0 from shortcut and was prompted with will not launch -10661? Why? And the update, is probably still running to connect to server on my other computer for all I know, and not connecting.
I also noticed that in the install window where you drag the product into the application box, right above the Icon to drag there was a confusing statement that said 1 of 2.
So after I dragged Icon once into applications and finished install I dragged the Icon a second time to see if there was a second part. But all that happened was an over write to the initial install. How can I get this new version to run?
Never had any sort of problem downloading and running on my Sony PC, by the way ... there both laptops.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

External startup disks will not start with my new iMac

My external devices which are startup disks will not start when connected to my iMac, although it appears in the bootable drive selections after the chime sound, using the option (Alt) key. I get the bootable drive selections and when selecting it all I get is a gray screen with the apple logo and that is it. No matter how long I wait the start up does not happen. I am sure that the external device is not damaged because there is no problem to use it as a startup device when connected to my MacBook Pro.
Otherwise the devices work as they should. If I connect them to my iMac then they will appear on the desktop, etc. The only thing which does not work is that they cannot be used as startup disks, even though they work fine as startup disks if connected to my MacBook Pro.

Based on your description it is very hard to tell what is going on.
You appear to have an i7 iMac. That model was delivered with Snow Leopard (10.6.x).
My guess is that your external disks may have a version of OS X that predates the version supplied with your new iMac. You cannot run an earlier version of OS X than what was delivered with your Mac.

Premiere Elements 12 will not launch while using McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention Service

We are planing to use Adobe Premiere Elements 12 in our corporate enviornment and it appears as though the product installs without issue but fails to launch. After troubleshooting the issue it appears as though the application is trying to do something that the McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention Service is catching and thus preventing the application from launching. If the McAfee HIPS service is stopped the application will launch without issue - so far we have been unable to identify the reason for this and were hopeful this may have been brougt up before?

HT3669 I have an Epsom 1250 photo scanner that will not work with my new iMac. I get an error report indicating 'scanner ot available' and the indicator light on the scanner goes to red.

When I try to use the scanner I get error message 'scanner not available' and the scanner indicator goes red . I have contacted Epsom who advised me to run System update on my Mac several times which I havedone to no avail. The scanner is in working order as it works satifactorily with my 'Windows' laptop. The scanner is listed as being included in the driver updates but It would appear that the driver on my iMac supplied in any update is not suitable.
I am currently running OSX 10.8.4
What steps should I now persue to be able to use the scanner?
Alan.

Howdy Susiesdad,
I would suggest the troubleshooting steps from this article named Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
Don't let the name throw you off, the troubleshooting is relevant for scanners as well.
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
All the best,
Sterling

FCP will not open on my new iMac G5 (iSight)

I have i have FCP 4.5 and just recently accquired a new 20" iMac G5 (iSight). I installed FCP on my new mac and it doesn't want to start up. I get a message that says "Configuration error: This software requires hardware or software which is missing. AGP graphics card."
Has anyone else heard of this problem and if so how can you fix it?
I greatly appreciate in advance to any and all help.

Well I found the Final Cut Pro 4 'info.plist' (Made a copy of it first) and opened it and found 'AGP' and replaced it with and typed in 'PCI'.
(The 'info.plist' file opened up in some software called 'Omni Outliner', any idea what this is?)
Clicked on Final Cut Pro 4 and now it works!
No idea how it has worked but Im impressed and very pleased that it has! Thank again for that link.

IPhone will not back up to new iMac

I have been using my MacBook as my main machine with my iPhone since I bought the phone. Just a few days ago I decided to buy an iMac. All of my media was on an external hdd which I hooked up to the new iMac and dumped into iTunes. All of my apps and I guess my iPhone backups as well were on the MacBook internal hdd, which all got deleted when I reinstalled OS X on it. My problem is that now when I hook up the iPhone to the iMac it just charges. It still shows up in iTunes and says "Syncin iPhone" but that only lasts for a second and stops. Is there a way I can get my apps transferred to my iMac or at least have the iPhone start backing up to the iMac? Please help! Thanks.

When your iPhone is connected and recognized, open your device page in iTunes and click the Applications tab. Make sure "Synch Applications - All" is checked. If it already is, reinstall iTunes with the latest version (8.1.1).

BB Desktop Software will not launch

PC, running Windows XP - Upgraded to new BB Desktop Software. Was working for about a month. Now, Will NOT launch - getting Windows Error
Error Signature:
EventType : clr20r3     P1 : rim.desktop.exe     P2 : 6.0.1.18     P3 : 4cfdab9c
P4 : microsoft.practices.composite     P5 : 2.0.1.0     P6 : 4cfdaa3a
P7 : 12b     P8 : 50     P9 : sclhiaanmqhkf4zdfpvvwejkphnm1zuj
I re-connected to BB and loaded the "fix" versus the fuill version and still cannot load.
From the Windows Control Panel - Removed the BB Desktop Software and re-booted the PC. Re-Loaded the full Desktop Software from the BB website. Still NOTHING - except for the Windows errror.
Dead in the water. Cannot launch the BB Software to connect and synch BB Storm! iPhone on Verizon is looking better and better. Mid-February is NOT coming soon enough.
Help!

OK Instead of dueling each other, the issue is my Problem. If you want to 'duel', please take it off-line.
No one is "dueling" , we are tying to fix your problem.
Re-stating my Problem:
1. I had loaded BB DM6 on a Windows XP PC about 3 months ago with no problems. In fact, it linked with all aspects of Outlook that I needed (Calendar, Task and Contacts). Yeah!! This did not happen with the 'original' BB DM that I loaded January 2009 when I bought the BB Storm from Verizon, but I lived with this short coming of BB. Built my calendar and contacts directly into the BB Storm.
So the original installation of the desktop manager software loaded in January 2009 did not correctly function with Outlook.
2. OK. So something happened last week and the BB DM6 will not launch without getting the error message that I put in my 1st Posting of this Problem.
"So something happened". We can only go on your description of the problem. If you have no idea what happened i couldn't possibly know. The only "guess" would be an there was an auto update to existing software or you have added software.
3. I went to BB and loaded the "Fix" for PC. Also, this did not Launch BB DM6.
4. Unloaded the BB DM6 with the Windows XP Control Panel "Remove Program". Re-Booted the PC. Then, went to BB and reloaded the BB DM6. Same error message and no Launch.
Try using the repair/modify option in the Remove Program function on the DM installation currently loaded on the PC.
5. I am far from the "Techie" that the respondants to this Problem are!! I am a SIMPLE End User of this BB Storm having mucho problems ... all of a sudden ... last week after using BB DM6 without the problems.
6. What can a SIMPLE, non-techie End User do? From the Respondants Postings .. I am reading about Loading Roxio for BB DM from the Roxio website? Also, reading about that the Unload from the Windows XP Control Panel, Remove Programs, is incomplete for the removal of the BB DM6. I am being directed to removing 'hidden' files/keys as directed in a BB Problem Solving Posting for the CLEAN Removal of BB DM6--- which is surely not written for the SIMPLE, non-techie End User!!
The error indicates a problem with some Roxio software. If you were using DM with Media manager prior Roxio was a part of that software, or you are running Roxio software.The Roxio information I gave you was to remove Roxio drivers not load Roxio software.
In your description of the January 2009 install there were problems with the install that were never correctly addressed. What we are suggesting is to remove all traces of the Various installation of desktop manager which includes editing the registry. That is why using Windows remove programs is not sufficient.
Once complete you will be installing a fresh copy of DM on your system, this will ensure that the DM software can correctly integrate wit both Windows and MS Outlook
The install procedure is SUGGESTED as the best resolution to your problem. Whether you run it or not is your decision.
7. In simple non-Techie language for this SIMPLE, non-techie End User ... what can I do to fix the problem and be able to launch BB DM6 from my Windows XP PC??
This is as plain "non-techie" as I can write it.
Thanks,

ITunes 6.1 will not launch

After upgrading from iTunes 4 to 6, iTunes will not launch at all. Neither will the new version of Quicktime 7 that I installed at the same time. After clicking on the iTunes icon in the dock, the icon bounces once, but the application will not launch or respond to any command but Force Quit. Does anybody have an idea why this is happening? I'm also on OS10.3.9

SOLUTION FOUND for iTunes not opening after upgrade to 6.0.1!
This took a lot of time and effort and the expertise of 2 long-time, devoted Mac users! Apple could not even come up with this. As I said in earlier posts, I believed it to be a code issue in the upgrade program, and so it seems. The upgrade doesn't delete the old iTunes version's "preferences" as it should, thus creating a conflict.
Here goes the solution:
-Close out of all applications running
-In your Finder go to the 'Go' menu and slide down to 'Home" and open it
-Double click on the 'Library' folder to open it
-Double click on the 'Preferences' folder to open it
-Change 'View' for all this folder's contents to 'list' format to make the next step easy:
-Drag "com.apple.iTunes.plist" AND "com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist" to the trash
-Close all windows and try starting iTunes from the dock. If you have no iTunes icon in the dock, open your applications folder off your hard drive, find the iTunes application. Click once on the iTunes icon and drag a copy of it to the dock. Once it's in the dock, click on it. It should open as a new version of iTunes (set-up) allowing you to transfer/organize your music, and so-forth.
Cheers!!
Paul

Itunes for mac will not launch

Hi b noir,
Thanks for the link. I had seen something like it but it didn't work. This one however worked a treat!
I only deleted the first file (com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig) and it worked straight away.
Fantastic, thank you!

ITunes64 will not launch

Downloaded & Installed iTunes v. 10..6.3.25. App will not launch; got any ideas?

From the Premiere Elements Information FAQ http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1042180
•What version of Premiere Elements? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Elements 9 with the 9.0.1 update).
•What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac"
•Are you using an account with Administrator Privileges?
•Have you installed any recent program or OS updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
•What kind(s) of image file(s)? When talking about camera raw files, include the model of camera.
•If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
•What were you doing when the problem occurred?
•What other software are you running?
•Tell us about your computer hardware. How much RAM is installed? How much free space is on your system (C:) drive?
•Has this ever worked before? If so, do you recall any changes you made to Premiere Elements, such as adding Plug-ins, brushes, etc.? Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers; or installing/uninstalling any programs?
And some other questions...
•What are you editing, and does your video have a red line over it BEFORE you do any work?
•Which version of Quicktime do you have installed?
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
