Premiere Pro CS6 with Mavericks Crash

Question

I am running CS6 on a Late 2012 27" i7 iMac. I read the initial statement from Adobe saying that everything should work fine with Mavericks, so I upgraded. Now, in Premiere it seems to open fine but as soon as a try to open any media in the media browser it freezes. When I navigate to the destination folder in the browser and the individual clips come up they get stuck on Proccessing.... then I get the beach ball, indefinitely. I tried this with clips both on my hard drive and on external harddrive. I also reinstalled Premiere. I can get it to open a clip if I just put one short one in a folder, but much more than that and it locks up. I never have had any issues whatsoever, until Mavericks.

Answer 1

I managed to talk to someone on Adobe.
He took remote control over my computer, opened up the ROOT user ability, then we logged in using that admin account. When we then went to Prelude, it worked fine with the videos crashing the system before.
His conclusion: something is wrong with my current user settings. System functions at root level. This means I should create a new user with fresh settings and then carry all my files and folders from the existing one to there, and delete the existing one.
I spoke to someone on Apple on how to do this and got some tips (it's by using migration of the user data from one to another, so that I could keep my older data). That did not work. Then I just created a fresh account with no settings transferred. That also failed.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe CS6 several times with different combinations with the above actions. That also didn't do it.
I can re-create the proper functioning under root level. So, clearly, the videos are fine, my system is not, and the way I am dealing with it is also not fine. I will keep digging. Perhaps I can find someone on Apple tomorrow to tell me what next I can try. I worry that I will have to format my computer and start all over again with all the apps and settings.
