Premiere will not open - stuck on loading

OK - tech stuff: Macbook pro 2009, OSX 10.6.2, 4 gig Ram, Premiere version 4.2.1
So premiere crashed rendering out to Media Encoder (also crashed) and now will not open anymore - I just get the spinning beachball! Opening the force quit menu has premiere marked as not responding. There is no Adobe crash dialog or anything it just freezes. Please don't ask about removing preferences - been on a Mac long enough to know that's always step 1.
So what's the remedy - and please don't say reinstall?
I do get an error log after force quitting if that will help - link as a txt file below.

Thanks Guys,
Was checking the other similar post http://forums.adobe.com/thread/387177?tstart=0 and came across a solution (running activity monitor pointed to ImporterProcessServer):
Thanks  to Bill and Bob - I searched for ImporterProcessServer posts and found  one that said that turning off and on your machine usually solves any  issues. Yeah, I know it's tech support 101 but hey sometimes the most  obvious answers! So seeing as it was the simplest solution I tried it  and VIOLA!
So  yes Premiere is working again! I was able to open the project I was  working on - so no corruption with the original file.
So I guess  the question is what the hell happened??? Why did premiere crash out of  nowhere and then refuse to open???
I guess the answer lies in the mysteries of  the ImporterProcessServer....
So big thanks to Bill and Bob!
Hopefully that works for others suffering similar issues....

  • Premiere will not open clip in Adobe Audition

    Working on some  footage and I've noticed that Premiere will not allow me to open the clips in Adobe Audition...the menu selection is greyed out.
    See below...
    It doesn't matter what the footage is or what camera its from.
    Any guesses?

    Hi avanishdivya,
    I checked all the things you suggested, and all of them are greyed out, except when going to the Edit menu, there is an option to edit the Squence in Audition...not the Clip.
    See below:
    System info:
    Windows 7 Ultimate sp1
    Adobe CC Suite all up to date.

    Everything seemed to work fine in CS6, haven't installed any new software/plugins etc.

  • Firefox will not open Gmail, or load all the data on the google tab and will not load Outlook lite on a webpage correctly.

    In the last couple of days when I start Firefox it will not properly load the Google home page I set up. It will not load the calendar or Date and Time. When I try to open gmail it will not open. I use Internet mail using outlook lite and it does not open properly formatted. All of these problems did not exist until two days ago. I have even gone back and did a system restore 8 days ago to see if that would correct the problem.
    Thank you

    For the settings to check to ensure that Firefox opens your email client, see [[changing the e-mail program used by Firefox]]. I don't know why it shows the wrong email address.

  • App will not open, stuck on title screen.

    As simple as the title says. The app will not open for me.

    Make/model of tablet? OS version?
    Try uninstalling/reinstalling?

  • IPhoto will not open completely, just loading

    iPhoto is just loading, it does not open fully... I have tried repairing the library and also tried opening it in safe mode but it still doesnt work. How can I fix this?

    Try this fix posted by houseboats in this topic: spinning beachball suddenly every time now at launch
    I just called Apple Support for the same problem, and it is now working great.
    He had me delete my SystemConfiguration folder and reboot... pure magic after
    The folder in question controls your network settings etc....
    It is found.... Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Macintosh HD being your computer root... not the user.
    Let me know how it works for you...
    IAN.
    NOTE: Check your System/Sharing preference page to remember your Mac's name before trying this fix.  The fix will cause the Mac's name to revert to a generic name which can mess up any sharing you've setup. Don't delete the folder right away but put it on the Desktop.  If the fix works  rename your Mac to what it was before.  If the fix doesn't work you can move that folder back replacing the new one that was created.

  • Photos will not open, stuck on "Use iCloud Photo Library Page"

    I have had my photos app running for three days now and it still hasn't created a library. It is stuck on the Second screen after initializing the app for the first time which gives you the choice between use iCloud photo Library and not now. When I try to quit the app a dialog box pops up saying "Photos is creating or opening a library - cannot quit while it creating or opening a library"
    Can Photos be re-installed?
    Bit of background, I have a 3th fusion drive iMac from late 2013 and I am a photographer with about 1tb of photos on the local drive, is it overwhelming Photos?
    Thanks

    Hi VtBoomer,
    Lets see if we can clear this up. When you turn on iCloud Photo Library beta, you are essentially switching from a collection of photos that is stored on your iPhone and moving the photos to iCloud. It does actually use iCloud storage when you do this. What this accomplishes is if you have multiple devices, then they will be in sync across all other iOS and your computer. Take a look at the FAQs page below to answer any other questions you may have.

    Take care,

  • Photoshop will not open, just continually loads. Any ideas why?

    When I open photoshop it opens to the workspace but then a white box comes up and the program becomes non responsive and continually loads. Anybody else experienced this?

    Try holding down Command - Option - Shift [Mac] or Control - Alt - Shift [Windows] while you are launching Photoshop. Answer "yes" as to deleting the preferences file. That will restore the default settings and, hopefully, fix this.

  • Firefox will not open error: "cannot load XPCOM"

    Tried to get on FF and I keep getting this message "cannot load XPCOM"
    Also, I red directions on how to "reach" my profile, and I get 3 messages telling me my profile cannot be read.
    I am s'posed to be the "administrator" but I can['t make any changes Help!

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    *Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.

  • Premiere will not open for me.

    It worked fine the last 2 years, but I get only a flash of the starting screen, then nothing. Suggestions? I already restarted my pc with no luck there.

    Nobody can know. You have not provided any system info or other technical details. We don't even know the program version.

  • Illustrator CC 2014 will not open, gets stuck on loading page

    My illustrator CC 2014 trial will not open.
    It gets stck on the following loading page...
    I have re-booted my computer, signed out of creative cloud, done all software updates but still no progress.
    Any suggestions to re-boot my illustrator would be more than welcome!
    Thanks,

    I have given up trying to solve this problem and gone back to Illustrator CC which works just fine.  Every time I try to start up CC 2014, it gets stuck at that screen you see above and each time is is a different font.  Reading fonts...various font name here.  Sometimes it's an English font, sometimes it's an Asian alphabet font of which I have zero use for. 
    Maybe someday someone will figure out the problem and reply here.  Or maybe I just made a suggestion to someone else trying to solve the problem and they'll just go back to CC as well.  Keep paying for CC 2014 and use an old version.  Good one Adobe. 

  • Adobe premiere Elements 12 will not open editor

    I had Adobe Premiere Elements 11 on my laptop and worked fine. Decided to upgrade to Elements 12 and did but version 12 will not open editor, says sign in, I sign in but no editor. Organizer opens and loaded my Photos and videos. I purchased full retail version for download. My laptop runs windows 8.1 and has an Intel Core i5 dual core processor and 4GB ram.

    actll
    Have you gone to Computer/Manager/Event Viewer/Windows Logs/Applications and looked for error entries that appear to be associated with this problem?
    Did you purchase Photoshop Elements 12 as well as Premiere Elements 12, and does Photoshop Elements 12 Full Editor open whereas Premiere Elements 12 will not open to its Expert or Quick workspaces?
    You have probably tried it, but can you open to the Premiere Elements workspaces from the Elements Organizer workspace?
    More later.

  • Adobe Premiere CS3 will not open!

    Adobe premiere CS3 will not open.  When I click on the Adobe icon on my desktop, I get this message:  This application has failed to start because prm.dll was not found.  I've tried several things such as:  uninstalling the program then reinstalliing it.  I tried to open Adobe by clicking on one of my projects by opening MY Computer from start on the taskbar, then click on c drive, etc. but it will not open.  Before I started getting the error message stated above, when I clicked on the icon, the program would load to the point of showing the top portion of the page (file, edit, etc.) then stop.  It would never fully load.  HELP!!!!!   I'm in the middle of trying to meet several deadlines.

    First, search your system for every instance of prm.dll. See if you have one (could be corrupt, but a Repair Install should have repaired it) in your PrPro CS3 folder hierarchy. Do you have any more? How do the dates and sizes compare to the one, if there is one, in PrPro? Here is a LINK to a .dll site. I do not know this site, so cannot even comment on their .dll's. I'd do the first suggestion, well - first.
    Also, I do not know this .dll. It could be a VST from an Audio editing program, or similar. Some of these have been known to bring PrPro to its knees, at launch. Might be worthwhile to check into it a bit more.
    Also, take a look at Event Viewer. This ARTICLE will give you some tips on what to look for. Could be more happening, than the error message might lead one to believe.
    Good luck,

  • Project will not open. blank screen after load

    I have a pretty major issue, I just finished a rough cut of a feature film and I decided to change my hard drive drive letters so they were more organized. Now premiere pro 2014 (up to date version) will not open the project properly.
    The file loads then it says looking for media then that goes away and it sits at a blank screen forever.
