Why wont the After Effects Setup work??

Hi guys,
I keep downloading the program trial off of Adobe, and once the downloading is
finished, I unzip the files to install the program.
However, when i click on the setup.exe, it doesn't do a single thing,
its like i didn't even click anything. It's very, very frustrating.
Any help would be gladly appreciated!!

What screen resolution do you run at? The installer is very picky and will not install on some notebooks/ netbooks just because they have too small a screen. Also make sure, you have enough free space in your user Temp directory (C:\Users\Frosttt\AppData\Roaming\Temp). The installer needs about 1GB there as well. As for the software - I'd only get rid of Acrobat, if at all. There are some known conflicts, but they appear not on all systems.

Why doesnt the after effects trial not download

The download of the after effects trial wont download why?

Do you receive an error message when you are trying to download?
You may want to review the discussion in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/993296 as it maybe related.

The After Effects NON working new cache....

One of the main reasons we purchased upgrades to all of our machines, and even new licenses for AE CS6 was the announcement of the new cache... we purchases SSDs for the cache.... and the thing is really a big mess that rarely works fine....
All of our machines are either HPZ800 or Z820 or MAC PRO, the same issues on all of the machines.
Specifically talking about my personal machine, even when the problem is on all of the machines, I'm only going to concentrate ont his one, even when I'm pretty much sure no one from Adobe will ever read or accept the issue.
My machine is a brand new:
HP Z820 with 12 cores, 32 GB or RAM, a Solid State Drive of 500 GB (actually a SDD RAID) with read and write speeds of over 1000 MB/s
A RAID 0 Serial SCSI of 6TB with tested speeds of about 700 MB/s read and write
An external 96 TB RAID 5 connected over iSCSI with a 10 GigE card with tested speeds of about 900 MB/s
a Quadro FX 5800
Black Magic decklink card
I have tested using each one of the drives as a cache drive, with the cache folder empty to start the test. Rendered to RAM a project moderately complicated in 1080P. 30 Seconds, about 2 seconds render per frame, no crazy plugins other than some levels, masks and color corrections and animated titles... I can see how the RAM preview is saved to disc since the cache folder gets populated as soon as I finish rendering and stop the playback, about 10 GB are used for this 30 seconds Ad.
Save the project, quit AE, restart AE, then the render is ignored and the blue line never shows up, but the cache is not deleted, it satys there.... render again to RAM, stoip... another 10 GB is saved..... again, after restart its not used.... what for is saved??? why is not deleted if is invalidated?
second... in MANY occasions, the green line just vanishes after I stop playing. This happens, with and without having the Decklink card activated.
we have 6 machines running AE, all with similar configurations, the caching doe NOT work on any of these machines.
Reported to Adobe, not not avail, never an answer, never a bug ID, never someone contacting me to show they even care about the costumer after purchasing.
Way to go Adobe!!!!

Adobe, or lets say Adobe After Effects is becoming an application, where new features only work after a makeover on a new revision.
The new cache seems to be not different. I have most of the problems you describe, too.
Funny enough, when I came here with some of my problems, the advice by the "pro"'s here was to disable the cache "since it can cause bugs"....haha, very funny....the main reason to buy CS6 is causing most of the bugs.

Why wont the spell check function work in a fillable form? Please help deadline looming.

Spell check wont work. Have read through various internet help solutions but no luck so far.
I have windows 7 64 bit.
The forms are on a CD-Rom (from about 10 years ago) but I have up to Adobe date software on my PC.
Edit-Preferences-Spelling shows I have English United Kingdom selected and the check box, check spelling whilst typing is ticked.
When I press F7 and start it finds nothing even though I have made deliberate mistakes to check if it's working.
Any help would really be appreciated.

It's possible the author of the file disabled the spell-checking option for this field.

Has anyone solved or worked around the After Effects CC red flash frame glitch?

I can't find any mention on any forums of the After Effects CC red flash frame glitch later than Feb. 2014. I just installed 12.2 (which was my first CC version) on my macpro and started getting the red flash frames randomly, but with increasing frequency, in my projects. I have never had this problem before on any previous computer or version for AE. The forums I've read have referenced ProRes source footage, outputs to ProRes, and lens blur. My project uses all of these things.
If there is a universally accepted solution/work around, I haven't seen it definitively. Do I not use ProRes source footage? Do I not render to ProRes 4444? Do I not use the lens blur effect? Do I give up and go back to CS6?

Hi Keith,
I have the "same" issue with the red frames in AFX CC
I have seen them first, as I resized a prores4444 HD to a smaller format and saw the redframes in the preview window.
Setup in AFX: I created a comp from the HD Prores4444 footage and put this comp in a comp with resolution of 960x540.
The output format was again prores4444.
I shuttled through the clips in the small comp and I saw the red frames too.
When I switched to the HD comp at the same position everything was fine.
I "solved" the problem by flushing the cache, twice. Because after the first purge I was only able to render the first clip. The second one had the red frame problematic again.
Maybe It has something to do with hardware accelerated layers.
I'm using a MacPro running OSX 10.8.5 with a Nvidia GTX680.
Cheers
Michael

After Effects not working. It hangs before getting to the interface and I can't upgrade neither!

I juust bought adobe after effects for the creative cloud. I can't get it to work. I installed the Afx through the app manager and launch it and didn't work. It freezes. Then I though it was because I had a previous version trial installed in my computer. The Cs 5.5. I downloaded the Adobe cleaning software and cleaned the HD. Then I reinstalled everything and now stills not working and won't patch neither. What should I do?

Nobody can tell you anything without system information. The most common issues why the app won't launch are GPU issues or DynamicLink problems, but again, we really can't know without more details. Provide system specs and the crash info and while there, also comb the articles on my site. It is, after all, the After effects error Code Database...

Why wont the contextual menu for imovie appear even after I've turned on advanced tools?

why wont the contextual menu for imovie appear even after I've turned on advanced tools?

Hi
And You are doing it right
• draging a clip ontop of other clip in Project - or -
• ctrl-click on clip in Project
If it's not that - then my wild Guess is that the iMovie Pref file got corrupted.
• TEST - Easy by creating a new User Account / Log into this / re-try iMovie - if it now works then I would trash the pref. file

Why is the scroll function not working after accessing the voice feature in settings?

Why is the scroll function not working after accessing the voice feature in settings?

For some prerecorded audio files the Transpose slider will not work reliably. I found no clear pattern, when it does and when not.
If all fails, create a loop from the audio file. Select the region in the track and use the command "File: Add region to Loop library".
Set the current key and tempo, name the loop, and save the loop.
Now add it from the loop browser to a new track and delete your old track. The search field in the Loop browser will help you to find the loop quickly.
You will be able to transpose the sample as described above, like a regular loop.
For example - a audio file turned into a loop and transposed:

How is the After Effects CS5 (10.0.1) update working for you?

The After Effects CS5 (10.0.1) update is available. It fixes a lot of crashes, errors, and other problems, and it adds some capabilities for RED (R3D) footage and the Apply Color LUT effect.
After you've installed the update, let us know how it's working for you.

Todd,
I installed it over the weekend after seeing it mentioned in my RSS feed and have been using it heavily for a few days. The updater launched from within AE did not find the update. I had to go to the download page that was linked to in the feed. Installed from that download with no problem on Windows 7.
AE 10.0.1. has crashed on me twice over the weekend. Both times I was scrubbing through a composition that uses a pretty intense plug-in (Video Gogh). I would submit a bug report to Adobe or the plug-in developer, but the problem has not been repeatable. Also, an AE composition dynamically linked to PPro may have made PPro crash. I wish I could give more details on that but I was, as usual, trying to do too many things at one time.
Other than that, everything went smoothly during many hours of compositing in AE.

I believe you've posted this multiple times. Once is all that's needed. Also, please don't use all caps. Aside from the fact it means you're shouting it's also harder to read than mixed case.
The error means a bad fan motor or the HDD has failed. In your case it's the latter. You can try the following:
Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
When formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the OS X installation.

Why wont the new version of aperture work with Nik complete software. I uninstalled and re installed Nik and it still wont work.

Why wont the new version of aperture work with Nik complete software. I uninstalled and re installed Nik and it still wont work.

I believe that Nik is having trouble adhering to Apple's "identified developer" requirements.
there is a FAQ on Nik site regarding problems with their installers.

Why doesnt the youtube and imessege work on my ipad

why doesnt the youtube and imessege work on my ipad

For iMessages there is some troubleshooting on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
Has the YouTube app previously worked on the iPad, and have you ever synced the iPad with your computer ? This page for YourTube (which refers to a "Cannot connect to YouTube" error message) says :
To use certain services, iTunes must download and install an authentication token on the device. Because iPad and iPod touch do not require an active Internet connection to activate, these tokens may not be downloaded and installed during initial setup.
You can resolve this issue by verifying that iTunes has an active Internet connection. Use the following steps:
Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
Verify that your Mac or PC has an active Internet connection by accessing the iTunes Store in iTunes.
Connect your iPad or iPod touch to your Mac or PC.
After the sync completes, verify you can access YouTube.
