PSE12 corrupted. Organiser won't launch, corrupted thumbnails etc

On PSE 12 it seems to have corrupted and I can't seem to fix it. Initially Organiser thumbnails appeared as torn pages, then organiser wouldn't launch at all. I've uninstalled and re installed but it still won't launch organiser and when I try and launch editor it asks for my Adobe ID. I enter it but it just keeps thinking and freezes. Please help

since i do not know the answer and this is in the ipod mini section i would recommend u putting it in the imac section
Sorry

Lightroom 3.3 Corrupt Thumbnail Previews

I have just noticed a problem that I have not encountered until I upgraded to 3.3. After I export my images as jpegs, the thumbnail previews are not complete for a few of the files. I get about two corrupt thumbnails in Windows Explorer out of 100 exported images. Here is a screenshot showing what they look like.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1426292/Capture.JPG
The images are fine when I open the files, but the previews are not complete. I would like to fix it so my clients don't get "broken" thumbnail views. Has anyone else seen this problem? Suggestions are welcomed. Thanks.

Re: Lightroom 3.3 Corrupt Thumbnail Previews
LR 3.3 and PS 4 ext. The original was a camera phone jpeg.
No, I have only VERY rarely had this happen. I don't use this workflow. I was trouble shooting an issue for someone that is having a problem. I was quite surprised to see it happen. The computer is an i7 running Vista 64.
Your fix would require ALL previews to be rebuilt. I have a catalog of over 80,000 images. I don't see that as a reasonable fix. If it was a problem, I'd rather try deleting image from catalog and then sync the folder again and see if that fixed it. No need to trash a bunch of good previews for one bad apple. : ) especially since it's just a test jpeg image. I suspect a read/write time with image size and such playing a role.

Corrupted thumbnails??

I use Lightroom 2 to import photos onto my Mac Pro (Snow Leopard OS), then move to Adobe Bridge (most current version) to browse and choose which to open into Photoshop CS4. On a recent shoot, about 5 to 10% of the images (taken on three different compact flash cards) from my Canon 5D Mark II had corrupted thumbnails in Bridge. They either showed no image, just the CR2 RAW logo, or the image showed with a significant portion of it blocked by random colored vertical and horizontal lines. The photos all were fine in Lightroom. I closed Bridge, threw away the cache, and reopened and all was well.
My question is what is going on? Getting rid of my cache is a pain, because I have to wait many minutes for many files to reappear in Bridge. Is there a way to prevent this from happening again? Could it have been related to the fact that I imported 700 or so very large files (RAW files from a 21 megapixel camera are 25 to 30 MB each)? Thanks!!

You first could have used the option to Purge cache for folder using the
Tools/cache menu instead of deleting the whole cache folder.

If you only use LR to import your files why not use Bridge for this?, You
can add several options for it in Adobe Photo Downloader that is in Bridge
(get photo's from camera). Explore the advanced option window.

It might have been a corrupt folder but it might have also been something
else. I tried using LR for import files (include to convert as DNG as I'm
used to for all my Raw files) but have no problems with viewing them in
Bridge. Personally I prefer the renaming options in the Photo Downloader but
that's my opinion )
Could it have been related to the fact
that I imported 700 or so very large files (RAW files from a 21 megapixel
camera are 25 to 30 MB each)? Thanks!!
I really doubt that, (I have the same files, did not try this amount but do
work with this amount, and more in Bridge without this problems) unless you
did something in between with removing card from reader in an incorrect way
or closed one of the apps during caching but still can't imagine that to be
the cause, or if you copied the files manual to an other location, etc. etc.
Nevertheless you might consider to refresh the preferences for Bridge (hold
down option key while restarting Bridge and choose reset preferences)

Reader 10 X won't launch with changed thumbnail icon

Hey guys,
I'm have an issue with getting Acrobat Reader to launch from a 3rd party program. Basically, in this program, you click 'view' and the pdf opens in Reader. However, on one of my computers, this isn't working. It looks like my computer's PDF default was set to launch in Windows Media Center, so I changed the default to launch with Adobe Reader. Now, in Windows Explorer, double clicking on any PDF file will launch Reader, but the icon is weird (see below) and the 3rd party program does nothing, as if it's confused as to what program to use.
------->
See how the Adobe logo doesn't take up the whole icon place? Why is the logo on a white sheet of paper here? I suspect this is causing issues with the 3rd party program.
I have uninstalled Reader 10 and even reinstalled with 9... same issue.
Running Win7 32-bit.
ANY IDEAS?
Thank you!
============ UPDATE =============
I just downloaded Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I changed the PDF default program to X Pro and that's normal now. Normal icon and 3rd party program launches Acrobat. But when I switch the default back to the regular Reader, the icon changes to the image above and my program won't launch Reader. Any ideas other than purchasing Pro? What gives?

The only other idea I have to make sure Reader is uninstalled completely; use the Acrobat Cleaner Tool from http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Note: this tool will also uninstall Acrobat if it's installed on that computer.

My apps won't launch & menu bar missing all top left icons!!!

A strange concurrence of multiple problems:
I am a pretty advanced user and have an iBook G4/1.33 GHz running Tiger 10.4.8, but I am having trouble with my PowerMac G4/500 MHz running 10.3.9 right now. I keep my PowerMac in Panther since it is almost 7 years old and I only have Tiger on my iBook disc.
Suddenly a few things started to happen at once yesterday:
1) NONE of the top right menu bar icons (OS 9 status, modem status, iChat, monitors, AirPort, Volume, clock, etc. show up upon log-in or restart.
2) Virtually NONE of my apps will launch from the Dock or the Finder. They bounce a few times then give up, with no error message.
I peformed successful repairs booting from both the OS X Panther disc and TechTool Deluxe. Although recommended, I can't create a TEST User because System Prefs won't launch, can't repair permissions from the problematic drive because Disk Utility won't launch, and I can't clear out caches because Cocktail won't launch.
I made sure the Application Support Folder in my Home Library had read/write permissions for me and applied to all enclosing folders as suggested. I tried trashing the com.apple.ActivityMonitor.plist preference in my Home Library also as suggested. However, it wouldn't allow me to remove the Launch Services file in the Caches folder of the main Library Folder as I also read here in the discussions.
Aside from successfully running disc repairs from the startup disc and TechTool, I tried repairing permissions from the startup CD as well (since couldn't launch any apps like Disk Utility from regular startup drive). Every time I try to repair in this manner though, after a minute it tells me "Disk Utility lost connection with Disk Managment" and I must quit and relaunch Disk Utility. However, same thing happens when I do, for both my drives running copies of OS X 10.3.9.
Only thing I can think of is to do an Archive/Reinstall of one of the two OS X systems on two different drives. But does anyone else have a clue what is causing this or what I need to try??? I read similar stories on here but nothing will all these symptoms at once.
I would REALLY appreciate some input, thanks!!!
PowerMac G4/500 MHz (1 GB); iBook G4/1.33 GHz (1.5 GB) Mac OS X (10.4.3) (still using 10.3.9 Panther on PowerMac)

Menu Bar Problems ..........
Check the following link for OS X troubleshooting steps. When doing so, following all steps in the order provided:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/repairprocess.html
1 If resetting permissions doesn't help, you may have a corrupt preference file... Delete....
Delete ~/Library/Caches (folder)
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.systemuiserver.xxx.plist
where 'xxx' is a 12 digit (hexadecimal) numeric string
• Then log out and back in again. You may need to go to System Preferences to put back the menu items you need to display.
• Removing systemuiserver.plist will cause the right half of the menubar back
its original pristine default state.
2. Check Preferences Thoroughly;
- Navigate to ~/Library and drag the "Preferences" folder to the desktop.
- Restart and test your applications.
• If this does not work, move the "Preferece" folder back to ~/Library
• If this works, delete the old preferences folder. (You'll have to go through some of your System Preferences and apps to set the preferences back to how you like them).
3. Navigate to ~/Library and drag the "Fonts" folder to the desktop.
- Restart and test your applications.
- If they work start adding the fonts back few at a time.
( A likely suspect is Time RO, also if you do not use Classic you can trash the classic fonts.)
4. Check Permissions Inside Home Folder
- Navigate to ~/Library.
- Get Info (Command + i) on the "Applications Support" folder.
- Open the "Ownership & permissions" flippy triangle.
- Make sure you are the owner, with "read and write" access.
- Click on "apply to all"
- If this is correct, open the "Applications Support" folder and do the same procedure (Command+I) for the folders with the names of the applications you are having trouble with.
Note...The reason to check this is because repairing permissions with Disk Utility doesn't touch permissions inside your home folder.
• Create a new User.... go to System Preferences/ Accounts and click on "+" at bottom left of window..... and test the apps in this new account if they work the problem is isolated to your User
(~ means your home directory)

Finder Won't Launch After Traumatic Re-Install

Hello All,
I've had one **** of a ride. I run 10.3.9. After a bad Mac update corrupted my boot disc, I was forced to reinstall...but since I bought my G4 used, I didn't have the original discs. I needed a computer up and running immediately, so installed the only operating system I could find...10.2.8. Luckily, all my files and apps are intact.
Today, I finally managed to find an install disc for 10.3.4. When I installed 10.3.4, everything was great....except that Finder won't launch. I can still launch the programs in my dock, but I can't get to apps that aren't in the dock...namely Final Cut Pro. I thought I might be able to beat it by installing the combined 10.3.9 update from Mac, but my Finder is still dead.
Any help anyone could provide would be more appreciated than you'll ever know. Thanks!

Welcome To  Discussions Mulcahey!
"...so installed the only operating system I could find...10.2.8."
"...find an install disc for 10.3.4."
What type of discs are these?
Are they a Jaguar Full Retail CDs, and a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs?
The discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.
If not, that may be the problem.

Dreamweaver CC won't launch

I've downloaded Dreamweaver CC, but it won't launch. The icon bounces and then that's it. I've uninstalled, reinstalled and I get the same result. Any ideas?

Hello,
There could be various reasons behind that.
1. Corrupt or insufficient Permissions at the Disk
To fix this Repair permissions using Disk Utility. Mac OS X Tutorial: How To Repair Disk Permissions - YouTube
2. Corrupt Preferences Folder.
Please go to ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe and Rename Dreamweaver CC to Dreamweaver CC_Old and then try to launch Dreamweaver.
Please go to ~/Library/preferences/Adobe and Rename Dreamweaver to Dreamweaver_Old and then try to launch Dreamweaver.
3. Corrupt Profile.
Create a new Admin User profile and try to launch it there.
Please try the 3 suggestions above. If it still do not fix the issue please let us know.

Photoshop won't launch

For some reason Photoshop will not launch.
This is on a G4 dual 867 Mac 1.75 GB RAM Mac OSX 10.4.11
I had CS3 working fine for a long time and things were fine....
but it has recently stopped launching. When it stopped launching I deleted and uninstalled all Adobe products and tried re-installing Photoshop 7.0 that didn't work either. Still won't launch. Repaired permissions and restarted multiple times.
Ran Disk Warrior just for grins... still won't launch.
Deleted all preference files... still won't launch.
tried re-installing again... still won't launch.
Tried launching from a different user account just to see if the user account may be corrupt but it still didn't launch.
Adobe Image ready will run after installing off of the 7.0 disk but photoshop will not.
any ideas?

FCP 7 Won't launch

ok, i've searched around for a WHILE before starting this thread. strange FCP 7 behavior:
i'm running 10.7.4
FCP 7.0
the splash screen comes up, as it's loading my plugins, it gets to "loading master templates" and just stops. no error message.
i trashed the preferences, used the digital rebellion tool to do so
tried a different user on my laptop and it does the same thing
i can't find the plugin folder anymore to try deleting the plugins. could that be the problem?
i haven't uninstalled yet.
motion 4 won't launch either.
i have fcp x and motion 5 and they both work fine.
could some sort of templates be corrupted?
any suggestions on what else i can do to troubleshoot this?
thanks!

ok. i solved it. i had changed the name in my apps folder to FCP 7. i tried to software update and nothing happened. i removed the 7 from the name, software update updated to 7.0.3 and now it works again... so who knows what happened? hope this helps someone in the future...

ITunes won't launch after system re-install?

I had to reinstall Snow Leopard after my finder disappeared (I'm assuming some corruption to finder but who knows). Anyhow, I've spent all day re-installing Snow Leopard and bringing it back up to 10.6.6. Many of my third party apps needed to be re-installed as did major apps like FM Pro 11. But the Apple app. that won't launch is iTunes 10.4.1. Anybody with any thoughts on why this is happening and how I can resolve it? Thank you.

I re-verified permissions, shut down and removed all power (inc battery)- restarted and itunes started when launched from doc. I don't know what the difference was, but it seems to be working.

Safari 2.0.3 won't launch from Mail

Since the new security update yesterday for OS X4.5, my Safari browser 2.0.3 won't launch from the Mail e-mail program.
What do I do now? It was working perfectly before the update.
Kathy : (

I've had the same problem using numerous apps and on different Macs since updating to 10.4.5. Today, using the "check for updates" in Quicken 2006, something corrupted Safari completely and it won't launch at all - double click merely shows the icon in the Dock for a second before it quits. I did all the usual stuff: deleted the cache, cookies, etc. Finally trashed the app but now I can't figure out how to reinstall it alone...

IWeb won't launch

I need help. iWeb won't launch. Everytime I try to launch it, I get the progress bar and it shows about 50% complete… then does not progress… then temporarily freezes my system… then quits and I get the standard dialog box message asking of I would like to quit, re-try or send a report to Apple. I've tried the re-try option sometimes with luck but not usually and I've sent NUMEROUS reports to Apple. I've read the reposrt and it says something to the affect of crashing on thread 4. HELP, my site is a work in progress and I pdate it frequently.

I have the same issue. iWeb loads and I open the media browser. As it is cataloging all my movies, it crashes. I believe it does have to do with "corrupt" movie files, and in my case, .avi files created by my Canon camera. When it gets to one, it closes unexpectedly. If I move these files elsewhere, it goes further until it gets to another one before crashing. Same thing with the ones in my iPhoto library. I haven't "cleaned" all of them out of my Movies and Photos folders, but they seem to be the offending files in my case causing iWeb to crash.
I'm not clear what the 'domain' file has to do with this, though. Mine shows '?????' so it didn't lead to any insight to the "corrupt" files.

Applications won't launch in Yosemite OS X

After installing Yosemite OS X some applications such as Photoshop CS6, Firefox won't launch. The icons of the applications keep bounching in the dock and after a while it will stop bounching with the message "Application Not Responding". Seems like every application which isn't by Apple has launching problems...
Need help to fix this fast.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Classic won't launch after upgrade to Tiger

I have a user who's machine was just upgraded to 10.4.5, and now Classic won't launch.
I copied the system files from the resource folder in case they were corrupt, but it didn't help.
I tried to launch classic with extensions off, no go.
Rebuilt the desktop, no help.
when you try to launch Classic, it opens the start window and just hangs. Left it for half an hour, and it never launched.
I looked for the DivX file in /Library/application support, nothing there.
classic worked fine under 10.3.9.
Any thoughts on what to do next? Is it safe to reinstall OS 9.2 overtop or is a complete wipe and load necessary (hope not, as user has beaucoup third party apps).
Help!
Thanks,
Lisa

Same problem with my PB G4 : Classic won't launch since I upgraded to Tiger.
When I try to launch Classic, the usual start Window appears and then the following message :
The update of the files belonging to Classic presents a problem.
Classic could not update its files in " System Folder" of "Macintosh HD
Didn't find any DivX file
Before, Classic worked fine under 10.2.8
I Installed a new OS 9.2.2 , and renamed the former system " Old System"

10.4.7 Intel- apps now won't launch

I applied the Intel 10.4.7 Combo updater to my 1 month old Macbook and now most applications will not launch. Safari and Camino both will not launch. Luckily I also have Opera which works.
I click on an app; it bounces once and then nothing as if I never clicked it. Other apps that won't launch: Adium, mail, ichat, address book, itunes, iphoto and others
Apps that do work: Quicken, Imovie, prefs, dashboard, terminal, quicken, and others
Ok after writing all of that, I checked console and saw that every one of those applications actually crashes and leaves a crash log. Each crash log has the same error about the address book as shown below.
Here is the log for Safari:
Host Name: mb
Date/Time: 2006-06-27 23:15:07.466 -0400
OS Version: 10.4.7 (Build 8J2135)
Report Version: 4
Command: Safari
Path: /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari
Parent: WindowServer [94]
Version: 2.0.4 (419.3)
PID: 345
Thread: Unknown
Link (dyld) error:
Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/AddressBook.framework/Versions/A/AddressBook
Referenced from: /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari
Reason: image not found

Ok I fixed it myself. Somehow there was some filesystem corruption which caused some important files to disappear. (Disk first aid told me this.) I restarted in single user mode and ran fsck -yf. It gave me all these horrible file system errors but was able to repair the disk! Things are working fine again- for now.
Now I'll really be happy if this update cures the Moo.

PSE12 corrupted. Organiser won't launch, corrupted thumbnails etc
