ProRes has stopped working on Mac...

Hi. I've got to work on an old Power Mac (OS X 10.5.8) that, up until very recently, handled ProRes and mp4s fine. Suddenly it has decided that it can't play anything ProRes (sound, but no image), and won't even recognise mp4s. No updates, to my knowledge, have been installed, and nothing significant has changed, but overnight it's decided that ProRes just isn't valid anymore. Quicktime is 7.6.9, and all the ProRes components are in the relevant Quicktime folder.
Now I know many would suggest that the machine is so old and I should just upgrade, but it's not my machine, nor my money behind it, so it's not my decision.
Is there a known reason behind this issue? And is there some sort of workaround/fix?

Hi. Thanks for the prompt response. Unfortunately there's no helpful info there, as the last messages are from August last year. I've seen suggestions to reinstall the codecs, but I can't find the old versions, with the only one that seems available being 1.0.3. And that installer won't run on such an old machine. I managed to extract the components from the installer and place them in the relevant folder, but still no luck. No ProRes image playback, and it's reading as 'apch' as the Compressor in FCP. Stumped.

  • PSE 13 solves "Error: Licensing has stopped working" on MAC OS X 10.10.2?

    After some years using my reliable PS8 I've got this nasty message and I am unable to work since then.
    I've been working on solving the "Error: Licensing has stopped working" on MAC OS X 10.10.2 for a while without success.
    Does PSE 13 solves the problem? I just want to be sure that if I buy the new version it is going to work or if I am going to lose another US$ 99 on a piece of software that requires more "MAC OS X" expertise than I have.
    Any help, clue or piece of advice is welcome.

    Thank you, but it is exactly the paper I've been trying to follow.... I can't go through solution 2 because I got an error when using “sudo python “.
    After trying for some days I am thinking about buying the newest version (PSE 13), I just want to be sure I am not going to have the same error.... ;-)

  • Magic Trackpad - 2 finger scrolling has stopped working in Mac Mail - works in Safari

    Hi,
    I've been happily using a Magic Trackpad for a couple of years but just recently the two finger scrolling has stopped working in Mac Mail. It still works fine in other apps eg Safari so this seems like a very odd problem ie I can't imagine you can configure it to work in one app and not another! Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Rob

    Thank you merleau.  I had the very same problem and found your solution perfect. This helped me tremedously.

  • CS4 "licensing ... has stopped working" on Mac, error 150:30

    We have an early 2009 iMac with CS4 installed in 2010. CS4 including Photoshop no longer loads. We now get the message, "Licensing for this product has stopped working" and a reference to error 150:30. We just want to get another year or two out of this computer with disk- not cloud-based Adobe CS. It now runs OS X Mavericks but the error message came up before the upgrade with Mountain Lion. We have the original HDD.
    It's also annoying that Adobe says "we want to help in any way we can" but that turns out to be: go to the online forum. No chat with Adobe let alone phone support. This is one case where we wouldn't mind paying a couple dollars for the right answer the first time.

    You can get to Web Chat:
    Adobe ID, sign in, and account help
    Click on the "Still Need Help?" link and you'll have that option.

    trying to launch photoshop cs3 on a mac running OS10.6.8 i keep getting the error message: Licensing for this product has stopped working  you cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT adminstrator or Adobe customer support for help
    I already Uninstalled and reinstalled the product and it still does not work.

    Hi,
    Try to uninstall the software again and you have to manually
    Delete the following folders:
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/caps
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/backup
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/FLEXnet Publisher/
    Go to Applications-->Utilities-->Disk Utility, Open it and Select the MAC HD and then click on Repair permissions.
    After that try to run the cleaner tool as mentioned by kglad.
    Restart machine and then try to install again.
    *** Make sure , you only delete these folders if there is no other adobe applications installed on the machine. As if you have any other Adobe application of the suite ( not free applications ) then it will be a problem.

  • Transferring CS4 from an old Mac to a new one, I get a notice saying "licensing for this product has stopped working" Error 150:30. Don't know what to do? Thanks.

    I'm trying to migrate my CS4 from my old Mac to my new one. When trying to open photoshop, i get a message saying "Licensing for this product has stopped working." And "Error: 150:30" I don't know what to do from here. Can someone help me? Thanks.

    "Migrating" and/or "transferring" an application is not just asking for trouble but demanding it!
    Always install an Adobe application from scratch, from the original media: CD or download.

  • CS3: Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Mac OS with Lion Upgrade

    Hi:
    My trusty Adobe Photoshop CS3 has quit working with the upgrade to Lion on my Intel iMac.
    Specifically, when I try and launch it now I get "Licensing for this product has stopped working. You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem ..."
    I went to this site for advice: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/error-licensing-stopped-mac-os.html
    I followed Solution 1: Delete the FlexNet Publisher preferences folder
    It didn't work.
    Now I'm trying Solution 2: Run the License Repair Tool
    I get to step 5g and type:
    sudo python /Volumes/LicenseRecovery\ 11.6.1/LicenseRecovery/LicenseRecoveryLauncher.app
    I enter my PW.
    Then I consistently get an error that reads:
      File "/Volumes/LicenseRecovery 11.6.1/LicenseRecovery/LicenseRecoveryLauncher.app", line 1
    SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xfe' in file /Volumes/LicenseRecovery 11.6.1/LicenseRecovery/LicenseRecoveryLauncher.app on line 1, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details
    Can anyone help? Thank you very much!

    This worked for me (Mac OS) :
    1) you should have opened the LicenceRecovery111.dmg file and you should see in the LicenseRecovery directory a file named LicenseRecover.py
    2) clic on the right of the mouse, do a copy of the LicenseRecover.py and renamed it at the end .pyOld
    3) find in your Mac in the applications the Smultron.app editor (you may need to use a text editor that keeps encoding of the file when it read and save it, Smultron seems to do that), launch Smultron
    4) in Smultron do menu : file - open and find, in the LicenceRecovery directory, the file named LicenseRecover.py chose it to open it.
    In the options, I did not have to chose, because the default encoding (Occidental Mac OS Roman) worked for me (with menus in english then), but I think you may chose in the option when you open the file the coding : UTF-8
    4) the first line in the LicenseRecover.py file was 
    # encoding: utf-8
    . replace it by
    # --*-- coding: utf-8 --*--
    . save the file
    5) try to re-execute the process as mentionned (sudo python ...)

  • Using PSE8 on a Mac, OS10.94. Error message "Licensing for this product has stopped working." Error 150:30 Followed all of Adobe's suggestions for the fix, nothing works. I need to know how to make this software work again. I also need contact details for

    What, you want all that AGAIN?
    Windows here I come ...

    Unfortunately when Adobe products are restored from backup, especial CS4 and especially Mac, it breaks licensing.
    There is a python script included in the license recovery kit that should work if you are familiar with Terminal.
    If not, you must reinstall your CS4 suite.  You don't need to delete your preferences, so it should be the same as before.

  • The "enter" key on the numeric keypad of my external mac keyboard has stopped working. Help!

    The "enter" key on the numeric keypad of my external mac keyboard has stopped working with my Macbook pro.  If I plug the keyboard into any other computer, that entier key works fine. I'm using a standard Mac wired keyboard, & it's worked fine for 2 years now. Help!
    This is the keyboard I am using: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB110LL/B/apple-keyboard-with-numeric-keypad
    Not sure what I might have accidentily done to disable the enter key. (The normal enter key works fine, just the one on the numeric keypad.)
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi there,
    Do you have any resolution to this problem in the end? Because it happened to me an exact same thing.
    Please share if you have found a solution to your problem. I also cannot think of what I did wrong to disable the Enter key.
    Best Regards,
