Scripting System Preferences/Adobe Version Cue Preferences

I'm trying to disable the Adobe Version Cue CS2 status bar menu on a number of machines at the same time. I can't figure out how to reference the check box for it though.
tell application "System Preferences"
activate
set current pane to pane "com.adobe.versioncueCS2.VCPrefPane"
tell application "System Events"
[click the box, darn you!]
end tell
end tell
So far, I can successfully bring up the version cue preference pane. everything i try in the system events section of the script, i receive a "NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4" From reading on various sites, I conclude that I'm just not references the check box correctly.
I've found the following information about the checkbox from UI Element Inspector:
<AXApplication: "System Preferences">
<AXWindow: "Adobe Version Cue CS2">
<AXTabGroup>
<AXCheckBox: "Show Version Cue CS2 Status in menu bar">
Attributes:
AXRole: "AXCheckBox"
AXRoleDescription: "check box"
AXHelp: "(null)"
AXValue: "1"
AXEnabled: "1"
AXFocused (W): "0"
AXParent "<AXTabGroup>"
AXWindow: "<AXWindow: "Adobe Version Cue CS2">
AXPosition: "x=512 y=584"
AXSize: "w=357 h=18"
AXTitle: "Show Version Cue CS2 Status in menu bar"
Actions:
AXPress - press
Can anyone provide some guidance?
Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

The code above contains multiple typographical errors.
The code below should work.
tell application "System Preferences"
activate
set current pane to pane "com.adobe.versioncueCS2.VCPrefPane"
end tell
tell application "System Events" to tell process "System Preferences" to click checkbox 1 of tab group 1 of window 1

  • Help with CS3 Adobe Version Cue Server problem.

    Adobe Version Cue Server (CS3) doesn't display in the system prefs, niether will install a working copy off of Install disc after removed. There seems to be no way to fix this, In bridge it can't connect. All I get is a bunch of errors.

    CS3 is known for the worst version ever of Bridge and also not supported any longer, you are using Bridge version 2 and current CC version is Bridge 6.
    Also Version Cue has been discontinued per CS5
    There is a blog post about a fix for a certain problem but not sure this is what you need (it is for a Mac), you can give it a try:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2008/03/a_tip_on_photoshop_mac_stability.html
    Also keep in mind Bridge is not developed nor official supported for use over a network.
    And in general, when something happens with Bridge first thing to try is resetting the preferences holding down option key (Mac) or ctrl (Win) while restarting Bridge.
    But also I'm not sure you are in the right forum. Do a forum search about Version Cue using the Adobe Forums as source and see what result you get.

  • Program uninstalled incorrectly (Adobe Version Cue CS 2)

    Hey all!
    I'm a fairly new mac user and when i recently wanted to uninstal Adobe Version Cue CS 2 i accidentally deleted the program files without running the uninstaller. The result is that OS X (I'm using 10.4.5) now thinks that Version Cue is still installed and displays it under system preferences while none (or at least most) of the files are actually not on the computer. I obviously tried reinstalling Version Cue but the installation CD wouldn't let me as it also detected that Version Cue was already installed. Does anyone know how i can "tell" OS X that Version Cue is not there anymore so I can reinstall it?
    I was thinking of installing Version Cue on one of my friends mac and then copy the program files (especially the uninstaller) to mine. I'm guessing this could solve my problem but it would obviously be a lot easier if I could fix the problem by myself.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi, PsychoNiko.
    See the Adobe Support document "Manually remove Adobe Creative Suite (2.0 on Mac OS X)." Follow the steps therein pertinent to Version Cue. You may want to compare those steps with the Adobe Support document "Message "Version Cue is already installed on this machine..." appears when you reinstall Adobe Creative Suite (Mac OS)." The latter seems to apply to CS1 and comparing the two documents indicates some of the Version Cue file names have changed from CS1 to CS2.
    When you have questions about third-party programs, it is often best to start your search with the Support Web site of the firm that publishes the program. I found the above in minutes by searching the Adobe support site.
    To avoid uninstall problems like this in the future, see my "Uninstalling applications" FAQ for important advice on uninstalling software.
    Good luck!

  • Adobe Version Cue CS2?

    Hi everyone,
    Sorry for posting this question in this forum, but I thought i'd get a quicker response than on the Adobe forum as there doesn't seem to be much life about it.
    What exactly does Adobe Version Cue do? i've no idea, and it's pinned to my top menu bar and does not function. It's stuck on update 2.0 and I cannot update it to 2.1 because it keeps saying update failed.
    Just looking to know if I can delete it or will it come in useful? I run the rest of the programmes that came along with it in Adobe Creative Suite C2 like Photoshop, InDesign etc... but not this Cue.
    Thanks in advance!

    Adobe Version Cue is revision management software intended to arbitrate conflicting changes when multiple people are editing the same documents at the same time. If you're familiar with Unix or software development, Version Cue is like CVS, Subversion (SVN), Mercurial, or GIT. In general, if you don't already know what Version Cue is, you don't need it.
    The Mac implementation of Version Cue has never worked right, so the best advice I found is to avoid installing it in the first place. When I recently had to re-install my Adobe CS1 on Leopard, I just did a Custom Install, and unchecked the Version Cue option. Everything has worked perfectly since then.
    I found these directions on removing Adobe Version Cue from CS2 in the middle of this page:
    http://www.macfixitforums.com/printthread.php?Cat=&Board=Forum36&main=775306&typ e=thread
    "I used System Preferences to turn off Version Cue, then followed MacFixit's fix....
    delete the following files (or place them in a separate folder for safe-keeping):
    • Adobe Version Cue folder from the Applications folder
    • VersionCueCS2.prefPane folder from the Library/PreferencePanes folder.
    • com.adobe.versioncueCS2.plist file from the Library/Preferences folder.
    • AdobeVersionCueCS2 folder from the Library/StartupItems folder.
    then restarted my mac."
    Hope this helps.

  • Disable adobe version cue?

    hi
    the problem is, the adobe version cue (cs2) has a "preferences error" when you try to access it in the preference pane. i assume this is because it's on rosetta and some things don't work properly until the universal version.
    but is there another way to get rid of the version cue icon & menu from the taskbar?
    it causes my shapeshifter theme to look weird because that part is being left out.
    thanks for suggestions in advance

    Since it's an Adobe product, you may want to post your question on the Adobe forums: http://www.adobe.com/go/gntraysupp_forumshome

  • SMC Firmware update NOT compatible with Adobe Version Cue

    After 2 days of SMC Firmware install & reboot problems (and many other folks in this forum), I went to my Apple Store Genius who resolved the issue by turning off Adobe Version Cue at startup.
    It is now a know problem at Apple.

    Now it seems logical that if OSX can boot in Safe Mode it's probably a StartUp program conflict ... and NON-universal programs are likely culprits according to the Apple Genius.

  • Adobe Version Cue CS4 -- startup entry in Windows 7

    Greetings,
    I want to know if something will go wrong with Version Cue if I will disable it in Windows startup list.
    Is it really necessary to keep it enabled if I use it very rarely? Will the program function correctly if I'll start using it without this entry?
    Thanks.

    I was of the understanding that CS4 was available in 32-bit and 64-bit varieties?  I was aware, of course, that only some of the software was truly 64-bit, but is it the case that by owning CS4 in general, I actually do have the 64-bit version?  That's a relief... if I'm understanding correctly.
    I'll only be running 4GB of RAM, unfortunately, but I don't do a lot of intensive things with CS4 anyway--I mostly picked up Web Premium to learn some of the Adobe tools for my future work life, and to play around with some basic Web design.  I'm sure 4GB's will suffice.  If not, I can always upgrade later!  I definitely plan to do a fresh install when I my copy of 7 arrives... I'm still rather superstitious of OS "upgrades" after the days of Windows 95 and 98 upgrading. heh
    I actually had a bit of a computer problem that prevented me from deactivating my previous install... hopefully it won't cause me too much difficulty to get it back up and running!
    Thanks for the information, Bob!

  • Fatal Error: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Version Cue CS4/Client/4.0.0/VersionCue.framew

    Hello All,
         Running on a MacMini running 10.7. Running Photoshop CS4 11.0.2.
        Running a brand new MacMini that came with 10.7 installed. I restored from a backup that was running on 10.6.
         Photoshop will run if I only click the app. However, if I try to open a file using Photoshop or attempt to open a file from within Photoshop, I get this error:
    I have run the "remove launch" script that was provided by Adobe to address the PPC issue. Now that I am in 10.7, when I go to system prefs and attempt to open Version Que, it quickly flashes the version que window then closes it, leaving me unable to edit any of the version que settings.
    In photoshop settings, I have verified that version que is unchecked.
    I have also turned off all options in the bridge application:
    Any suggestions appreciated. I am completely at a halt at this point and a sad camper.
    Thanks,
    R

    So here is the update.
    Deleting the old install and re-installing worked like a charm to get me at least able to open documents. Thanks for all the help!
    However, as a warning to others, if you do import from an older Mac OS and find yourself in the same boat as I did, once you re-install, you will find that when you select "Update" under help in Photoshop or any of the other apps, it will not find an update, even if there is one.
    In my case, I have photoshop 11.0 and having it go off looking for an update does not find one. I suppose that there are two ways to solve this. 1) Delete whatever left over file is being used by the updater to determine what needs downloading or 2) Manually download the latest update and run it.
    I am off to search for the manual download. Does anyone know where I might find the file that needs deleting in this case?
    Thanks,
    R

  • Trying to set up a version cue server

    I'm new to Version Cue, never used it. I'm trying to use Version Cue through Bridge. In the Content window I see Browse Servers and Recent Projects, but not Start My Server. In the Bridge Preferences Adobe Version Cue and VersionCueSDKLoader are checked.
    I checked both my original PS CS3 installation disk and the Adobe Installer utility to see if I needed to install anything but Version Cue doesn't come up as an item to install.
    I'm using OS 10.5.2 on a MacBook Pro.
    Would appreciate any advice.

    I have a similar problem. I started to set-up my server, but when my browser launched I only got my home page, not the version cue set-up screen I was expecting to see. When I went back to the bridge I no longer had the option to start a server. Where do I go from here?

  • Exorcising old, unwanted Version Cue CS2 out of OSX System Preferences

    I just switched over to an Intel Mac and have deleted my old Adobe CS2.
    However I can't get rid of the "Version Cue CS2" from my System Preferences.
    When I click on the Preference Pane, the following error shows up:
    "You cannot open Adobe Version Cue CS2 preferences pane on this computer. Contact the developer of this software for a newer version."
    I have a lot of lingering things from my PPC G5 iMac that I transferred over onto my new Core2Duo iMac. Any help on banishing CS2 Sys Pref? Thanks!

    Locate the preference pane in either the /Library/Preference Panes/ or /Home/Library/Preference Panes/ folder and drag it to the Trash. Empty the Trash.
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Most applications create preference files which are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can located them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.
    There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
    AppZapper
    CleanApp
    Yank
    SuperPop
    Uninstaller
    Spring Cleaning
    Look for them at www.versiontracker.com or www.mackupdate.com.

  • Version Cue won't install G4 Mac

    I just downloaded and installed CS3 (standard) last night and after two complete installs, Version Cue won't load. When I try to configure it via System Preferences, there PreferencePane isn't there. Does anyone know what is going on?? I just spent a lot of money on CS3 and I was expecting it to work out of the box. Please help if you can.
    Another thing I've noticed is that there are no startup scripts in when you choose "Reveal in Finder" in Bridge Prefs. Is this normal?
    Thx!
    James

    @ John
    Sorry to hear that. Not sure what happens.
    Are you sure that your machine is now completely cleaned before you did a new install?
    There are some smaller things that are not cleaned by the CS3CleanTool.
    This could be an issue with pre-release versions of Version Cue. The Version Cue client is a part needed by PS, AI, ID, IC and Bridge. (And though older, pre-release versions have been on your machine!)
    I'm not quite sure what you mean with update?
    As far as I know you have an upgrade CD set or DVD and you install the CS3 but you only need the old CS2 number to install, right!?
    Do you have the CS2 still on your machine?
    I spent a lot time to test the cleaning of my MAC system and install the shipped CS3 on a system where a lot pre-release versions have been before and it works.
    But I learned to clean it by hand.
    If you have the guts to install again, delete the following and then do a repair install of the Version Cue server with Premium CS3 installer:
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Version Cue CS3/Client/...
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CS3 Extensions/Adobe Version Cue Extension/...
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Startup Scripts CS3/Adobe Version Cue/...
    /Users/Library/Preferences/Adobe/workflow..
    This should help even if the AUm updates the VC to 3.0.1.
    It does on my Macs. And - unfortunately - I had to install the whole suite three times this year because I changed my machines so often....
    Good luck :D

  • CS3 Version Cue not loading in Bridge

    I'm trying to access a version cue server in bridge, but there is no button to access version cue in bridge. i know there is supposed to be a button in the favorites panel, but its not there, and there is no way to 'check it' in preferences. its checked under the startup scripts panel in preferences.
    version cue server is started and running, its in my task manager as well as my taskbar.
    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling bridge and version cue several times, and that hasn't fixed the problem. I've tried unchecking version cue and sdkloader, then restarting bridge, then rechecking them, restarting bridge, to no avail. there is nothing in my inspector panel, nor in the inspector panel preferences. i even tried reinstalling all of CS3, that didn't help. but - i had the reinstaller save my preferences, b/c im apprehensive to lose all my custom workspace settings. i tried resetting the preferences in bridge with 'alt-ctrl' on load, didn't help.
    any ideas would be great. if i can avoid completely removing CS3 (my preferences mainly) i would appreciate it.

    You should see Version Cue under menu Edit => Preferences => and then select the General category. Version Cue should be the top left checkbox in Favorite Items at the bottom of the General category.
    If you don't see Version Cue listed there, start the Version Cue server, and then start Bridge and try the above again. An easy way to start the server (provided that it has been started before, and is thus installed as a service) is to type the following at the Windows Command prompt:
    net start "Adobe Version Cue CS3"
    NOTE: You must include the quotes as shown immediately above.

  • Uninstall version cue cs2

    I've installed CS3 but the version cue cs2 icon still appears on the menu bar. I can't access CS2 from system preferences, "You cannot open Adobe Version Cue CS2 preferences pane on this computer. Contact the developer of this software for a newer version." the menu bar,"You cannot open Adobe Version Cue CS2 preferences pane on this computer. Contact the developer of this software for a newer version." or from the applications folder clicking on the uninstall version cue shows and alias which can't find the original version and inserting the original installation disk doesn't make the uninstaller magically reappear.
    The uninstall pdf (uninstall CS2- all together)says "Double-click Activity Monitor.app in Applications/Utilities, select AHCRemind, and click Quit Process." Fine, until I get to AHCRemind which isn't in the activity monitor.

    I no longer have Creative Suite 2 on any computer. But, as I recall, when Version Cue CS2 is installed, you should see an "Adobe Version Cue CS2" folder in the Applications folder. Within that folder, there should be an Uninstaller application. Run it.
    If that doesn't work, I have a list of files you can manually delete.
