  • Premiere Pro 7.1 is not opening on iMac running the Mavericks

    System Specs: OS X Version 10.9, 3.4 Ghz i7 iMac, 20GB of RAM, AMD Radeon HD 6970 M 2048 MB.

    All products creative cloud put to update to the latest version.

    I will be happy to provide you with the accident report if it is useful.

    In simple terms, first Pro CC will no more run. When I try to open the app, I see the splashscreen and it starts to load plugins, etc., but then crashes before arriving at the new project window. I can't open via opening a project or directly open the app.

    I tried to reset the preferences, uninstalling, CC Cleaner-ing and re-install the application. I repaired disk permissions, reset the pram... basically every classic OS X 'fix' I know.

    Any other ideas on how to get my machine operational? Any thoughts on the culprit?

    The plugins only I know on this machine are products of the red giant (Colorista II and Denoiser), FilmConvert and FxFactory. All have been updated to the latest versions.

    Hi David,

    Some S.redgiant plugins are not quite ready for the Mavericks. Try disabling plug-ins and see if you can start then.

    Thank you

  • Impossible to get CS4 to work on the new iMac with the Mavericks

    I just bought a new iMac running the Mavericks and used Migration Assistant to migrate my old iMac. (I did twice!) Since then, I am unable to use CS4 on my new iMac. He asked my serial number that I type in but keep get a big red X next to it :-(

    I disabled CS4 from my old iMac, including the removal of the serial number.

    I downloaded and installed Java for OS x

    I followed solutions 1 and 2 on http://helpx.Adobe.com/x-productkb/global/error-licensing-stopped-Mac-OS.html

    Solution 1 resulted in nothing (there was no FlexNet folder in my library or anywhere else on my computer)

    Solution proposed 2 download the licenses Adobe, but the LicenseRecovery111.dmg file repair utility was not recognized, so does not open so it's not very useful!

    Solution 3 suggests repair disk permissions - as this is a new download of the Mavericks, I have not tried it yet

    Solution 4 suggests reset the permissions on the folder of FlexNet Publisher licensing service (Solution 1 suggested to delete it in the Library/Preferences folder and yet it is now apparently in the folder/Library/Application Support!)

    Solution 5 suggests reset permissions on the Adobe PCD folder - there isn't one on the new or the old iMac!

    Solution 6 proposes to delete the cache.db - journal in the Adobe PCD folder - see above

    Solution 7 suggest re-formatting the drive in a file system that is not case sensitive! Not really inclined to do

    Solution 8 - reinstall - new iMac doesn't have a DVD drive then how so I do? No doubt it will not solve the problem in Solution 7 anyway?

    Solution 9 - contact Adobe support - I did and spent some time on the chat with them that to say that I don't a not qualify for their help and to go to the forums

    I have searched the forums and tried various suggested corrections but no luck.

    Please can someone help before I have pull out all my hair

    Download the demo and activate it with your serial number:

    Be sure to follow the instructions.

    You probably need to run UN-install it first to clean up the old files.

  • The update of creative cloud worked for Photoshop.  However, it shows my LR 5.4 'up-to-date' and the CC version will not load.  Advice has been uninstall LR using the program uninstall Adobe, but it does not exist on my iMac with the Mavericks.  I am supp

    Sorry for the long title.  I thought that I was actually asking.  Why can't I update my LR LR CC 5.4?  I have an iMac 27-inch running the Mavericks.  I have a lot of space on my hard drive and have 16 GB of RAM.

    Long titles seem to happen a lot since the last forum updated software isn't just you!

    There is no CC Lightroom. You get the latest version (currently 5.4) with creative cloud, and the CC app so right to say that your LR is up-to-date. Unlike most other Cloud creative applications and Photoshop, Lightroom is not labelled as 'CC' because it is also available separately as a product standalone perpetual license. When 5.5 (or 6.0 - or even a CC version only) is available in the future, the CC app should invite you to update, and then in the meantime, you good to go.

  • Can I run the Mavericks and Snow Leopard on my MacBook?

    I have a mid-2009 MacBookPro (4 GB of RAM, 2.26 GHz) running Mavericks 10.9.5. I wish I never upgraded to Snow Leopard and was planning go back from iTunes (12.3.1) is now unable to find my library when I copied the files to my Time Capsule to a new HD post with the intention that the HD Ext. would be the new home for my iTunes library. I researched how to change the location of the library and followed the instructions but no luck. Many people, including my local tech, have suggested that this is because the Mavericks and editions of the latter to iTunes doesn't play well with my old MacBook and it has been suggested that I come back to Snow Leopard. I'm ready, but use the latest version of Aperture requiring (3.5.1) of the Mavericks, and given that Apple no longer supports opening there is no way to get 3.2.4, which is the last version that can run on Snow Leopard.

    I'd be able to keep the Mavericks and use it only if you use Aperture while being able to install Snow Leopard, and use it for everything? My MacBook seems better to work on Snow Leopard but opening works well on the Mavericks.

    I suppose that if I went down to iTunes 10.7 it would automatically get upgraded to the top without asking my permission, so there is no interest in any downgrades iTunes and it works on the Mavericks as a possible solution.

    Boot from the DVD and use disk utility to create a new partition on the internal drive. Install Snow Leopard. You can then start in which operating system never sought.

  • Early 2009 iMac running hot. Hard drive problem?

    Hello world

    I have an early 2009 24 "iMac. (iMac9, 1, 2.93 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo). I am currently using OS X 10.11.4.

    This problem started, summer 2014. My iMac has been in storage a year since March 2015. Here's the problem, when it started it was summer and very hot. I didn't have air conditioning. I got this iMac from April 2011. Bought from Mac of all trades. Obviously, they heat up on top, or at least this one does. The hard drive is a Western Digital WDC WD1001FALS-40K1B0, 1 TB drive.

    At the point where I was running DiskWarrior, who reported that my hard drive was running too hot. The reader otherwise verified fine and so I downloaded Fans of Mac control, looked up what the operating temperature should be for this hard drive and set it to increase the fan speed, if necessary. Now 5182 rpm, it turns the hard drive cooling fan, and he reports 127,4 ° F. The room temperature is 82.4 °.

    Now, let's move forward to this last week. I've had my Mac for storage, he had been in the garage of a friend of year-round, is his box. From the beginning it upward, it froze soon after establishing the office. I started on the recovery partition, and DiskUtility found that it could not solve problems. So I started from the eDrive TechTool Pro partition and run DiskWarrior. That was fine until the computer froze again. To reboot the partition e could not climb. The recovery partition would enter to Midway through the boot process and then hang. It's the same problem I was trying to start normally.

    So after a long day of trying everything (I don't have a disc of starting of any kind, that I still have stuff in storage), the Mac finally started in the recovery partition. I ended up having to reformat the hard drive, make a new installation of 10.11 and restoration of my Time Machine backup.

    After another day of tweaking, everything worked fine. Except the drive is always hot.

    Today, it's back to freezing on me. I started the eDrive and TechTool Pro check sensors and generate a SMART report. The SMART report verified the reader, but watch it turns slightly on the warm side. And that was with the fans to run fast.

    Then, after all that, I'll try to get an opinion on the health of the hard drive. If I put the fans for normal speed, now it is 2638 rpm and increase, and the reader is 138.2 ° F. This seems too hot for me. You can't touch the top of the computer for a long time. It is too hot.

  • First pipette CC 2015 does not not on imac with the Mavericks

    The pipette for any tool with color selection capabilities especially "ultra-key" does not allow me to choose a color.  Color box flashes and then returns a black value when you click it.

    As I said I use mavericks 10.10.3 on a 2011 27 "imac which has an AMD Radeon HD 6970 M to 1024 MB graphics card.  I don't use any external monitors.

    Thanks for any help.

    In case anyone is wondering I finally fixed it.

    I tried trashing preferences, uninstall all software adobe, re - install, CC cleaner, do a utility disk permissions fix and even manually turning all permissions "read and write" and all to no resolution running.

    Then, I ran as a root user and ran to first, magically fixed the problem.  I went back to my normal user and it has always sucked.

    SO, I had to create a new admin user, copy all my files from personal documents, then delete the old user and use the new user as my default.

    Now, everything is good.

  • mid-2010 iMac slower afer is upgraded to El Capitan

    Hi all

    I ran EtreCheck (thanks Allan!); details below.

    Also ran AHT & it showed no problems

    I installed an SSD in December machine considered fast - then installed El Capitan and he slowed, & I think it's gotten worse in recent weeks.

    Symptoms:

    • delays of beach ball
    • Some applications and files are very slow to open
    • using bluetooth keyboard & mouse - cursor seems to get hung up in emails, etc. (& same jumps around tasks randomly once in a while - JUST started using the mouse & keyboard cable; so far, not sure they are better.)
    • using iCloud for most documents.  The files are slow to open, but Cnet speed test shows that 20-30 MB/s download speed.

    I do not know is that a "clean install", but I had no problem (obvious) El Cap installation.

    With the SSD and 20 GB of RAM, this machine should always work for some time, Yes?

    Thanks in advance for your thoughts and advice.
