Adobe Connect and Mavericks

Report · Dec 12, 2013

Now that I have Mavericks loade on my Mac, Adobe Connect will freeze randomly, especially if I am using the Mic and switch or share views with another program or screen.

It's very hard to carry on a discussion when the program is freezing and I have to re-boot or re-start Connect all the time. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mitch Pendleton

me too... been doing webinars on wifes computer w/Leopard waiting for the fix but tried today and connect went bad once in 30 minutes...

One thought is the new mavericks flash power saver thing... maybe this is turning adobeconnect off?? I can't find any settings for the powersaver except in safari advanced to stop plugins to save power but the problem is not just safari....

spent time w/adobe support but no fix (yet)

I am having very similar problems since upgrading to Mavericks. I did multiple upgrades at the same time including a new SSD and migrating to full disc encryption using FileVault 2. However I do suspect having troubleshooting it to be a Mavericks and Flash interaction now?

Like bswenk, I suspect either the flash power saver (which I have turned off) or the sandboxing of Flash in Mavericks.

I am seeing multiple "kernel: adobeconnectaddi[387] Unable to quarantine: 93" in the console logs in a pair when the freezing occurs.

I am also seeing the following which I am not sure if it is related:

So from a session this morning, here is an extract of the log between freezing periods:
