    Hi ZICI and pacificachris,

     

    Would you please email me the log file /Users/<user>/Logs/PDApp.log (Mac) or %temp%/PDApp.log (Win) to muse-support@adobe.com (with the subject FAO James)? That will help us to diagnose the cause of this issue for you, and provide a resolution.

     

    Thanks,

     

    James

    Hi James, I can't find the file you are referring to. It has been 3 days without my main piece of software and it's costing me money. Cheers Rose

    Mac OSX 10.7.x hides some folders.

     

    Go to "Go to Folder..." in the "Go" menu in the Finder and type "/Users/<yourusername>/Logs" and click "Go". In the folder that appears, find the PDApp.log file and please send it to muse-support@adobe.com with a link to this thread and ATTN James. Thanks.

    Hi Rose,

     

    If you open Finder and then select Go > Go To Folder from the top menu, then type in ~/Library/Logs that should take you to the correct folder (even though it may be hidden, in 10.7/Lion and later versions of Mac OS). There, you should find the PDApp.log file.

     

    Best,

     

    James

    Still no fix here? Going off ST Mikey Mike's post there's a mixup of account subscriptions, and it seems to be affecting quite a few people.

     

    Just downloaded an update, same error. Win 7. I have the .db file in OOBE.

     

    We have to individually email muse-support@adobe.com to have it fixed?

    There are multiple different causes of login failures. In order of frequency:

     

    1) opm.db file becomes corrupted and must be deleted. We're working to isolate the cause of this.

     

    The opm.db file can be found in the OOBE folder in:

     

    on Mac: <yourusername>/Library/Application Support/Adobe

    on Windows XP: <youruser>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe

    on Windows 7: <youruser>\AppData\Local\Adobe

     

    Deleting this file will often address the error.

     

    2) Inability to get to the internet. This is most commonly due to unusually strict firewall settings or anti-malware software. Muse must be able to reach:

     

    https://na1mbls.licenses.adobe.com

    https://ims-na1.adobelogin.com

    https://adobeid-na1.services.adobe.com

    https://na1r.services.adobe.com

     

    You can go to these links in your browser to verify they're accessible from your machine. If they load a webpage from Adobe, then the connection is working as expected.

     

    3) Muse incompatibility with some USB broadband connections. If your connection to the internet it through a USB broadband card, you many need to connect by other means to start your trial/subscription. We're working to address this incompatibility.

     

    4) Account issues that require server-side fixes. To my knowledge STMikeyMike's situation is the only one to-date that's required a server-side fix.

    i can get to the first one, but i'm getting "there's a problem with this website's security certificate" on the other three.  is there any way to overcome this error?  i'm running windows 7 and IE 8.

    Hi,

     

    Have you tried deleting the opm.db file? That seems to fix the issue for most of the users.

     

    Also, what kind internet connection do you have, wifi or usb? Try to create a new user account from the control panel and launch Muse from there and let me know how that goes?

     

    Regards,

    Abhishek Maurya

    I am also experiening the 'unexpected error' problem with Muse. I am a tiny ant in a large corporation: I asked them to change their firewall settings just for me and I was told to get lost. Is Creative Cloud really designed to be incompatible with businesses? Should I cancel my account, it being effectively useless?

    Hi,

     

    This has nothing to do with business or personal pc. Muse just needs to be able to contact the activation server. So, even if it is non corporate environment, if muse is not able to contact the activation servers then it will give this error.

     

    Also you should try the troubleshooting steps posted in this thread,

    "An unexpected error occur processing your request." when launching Muse.

    - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/987242?start=36

     

    Refer to the Zak's post # 36.

    Hmm, linking to the very forum thread that we're in at the moment is unhelpful or sarcastic. I've tried the recommended solutions but they don't work. I cannot reach three out of the four Adobe URLs quoted in Zak's post, so I have concluded that it's a firewall issue on the computers at work. There's nothing I can do about this.

     

    I remember when Quark used to bully users over online activation that didn't work properly but refusing to do anything about it. Now Adobe's the bully. More than a few people have raised this issue in the forums concerning Muse being unusable due to its activation method, and Adobe's response appears to be that it's our fault for working at companies with secure computers. Duh, silly us.

     

    Seriously, Adobe's reaction to this problem is extremely disappointing. Adobe's a big, professional company full of highly skilled and hard-working people. To watch them simply shrug their shoulders over this is appalling.

    Zak,

     

    I still get the "An unexpected error occurred..." message after deleting the opm.db file and restarting several times.  I have deleted and reinstalled the application and the error still occurs.  I have tried to open the program while utilizing wifi and while having an ethernet cable pluged in (wifi disabled) the the Macbook, and there seems to be no difference.  Photoshop and other cloud applications open normally, just Muse seems to be affected.

    After upgrading from trial Muse (which worked great) to a subscription,

    Same unexpected error when trying to activate.

    Says to try again later,

    hit the retry button

    and the "working on it" rotating square just sits and rotates going on 15 minutes now.

     

     

    I looked in the OOBE file

    PDApp folder

    I have a pim.db but no opm.db

     

    I am working on a Macbook Pro

    with Lion OS 10.7.4

    airport WiFi

     

    Quit and uninstalled Muse and AIR

    reinstalling trial now...

    Hi All

     

    Have been through all these advices - with NO result at all.

     

    But look at this. No one should go through all this crap just to activate something that you already have paid for!

     

    If any of you find some kind of solution - please us know.

    Well for some strange reason all of the trouble I had last night with getting Muse to start has been fixed.

    I reinstalled and then uninstalled Muse trial and subscription last night three times to no avail.  I left the "needs activation" page up from my latest attempt last night, and this morning when I clicked activate, it said "unexpected error".  After pressing try again, I got sent to the sign up for feedback to adobe page, which I signed up for. Now Muse is working.  I don't know if it's full Muse or just the Trial, but at this frustrating point, I DON'T CARE!!!

     

    Thank you ADOBE???

    I followed the path you recommended, but on my computer I had to go to the Shared folder to find the folders you speak of:

    Users

    Shared

    Library

    Application support

    Adobe

     

    The only folder I am seeing in here is for AIR

    This is just absolutely maddening. Perhaps it's time for another shout out to twitter to the world. Adobe why isn't this been resolved yet? We pay for software, and you tell us we are so happy to be in the cloud, but clearly it's something is wrong with MUSE and not your customers. I have been trying to use this software for over 2 months now, and still I can't get access. I don't know where this file is located on my windows 7, but it seems to be a login issue, as why is this the only software in the suite that is asking me to login again? I have uninstalled and reinstalled it. It's the code on this app, when are you going to fix it? Why are we going through all this without any effort from Adobe. I just don't get this! There should be a patch to resolve this issue! We shouldn’t have to go into the files of this app, there should be a patch where it deleted this file or whatever it needs to do, to resolve this issue. Script!!!!

    I had a hard time looking for it at first to. For those of you who are also try this:

     

    1. Open windows explorer and in the explor field at the top type %appdata% and press enter (this will take you to a folder within appdata called roaming so you will need to go a folder up)

     

    2. Back in the explorer bar at the top press appdata.

     

    3. The first folder listed in appdata should be local, open it.

     

    4.The first folder listed in local should be adobe, opent it.

     

    5. Scroll down to OOBE, opent it.

     

    6. Delete opm.db file.

    If you are working with Win XP just keep the error window open, move it to the side and work with the programm. The programm opens in the background and works fine.

    Hi, I have tried on and off over the months since I joined the CLOUD and nothing has worked.  I even made sure the opd thing was still "gone".  I tried to relaunch just now, and it gave me the opty to download the new version, so, I'm hoping that clears it up once and for all!@  fingers crossed@

    Problem not solve.

    (Muse trial version, Win 7 x64)

     

    What I try:

    • version 2.2
    • version 2.3
    • Deleting opm.db
    • Configuring proxy and firewall
    • Launching Muse on several computers

     

    Each time to login we have in MuseLog.txt this errors:

    • Build 50: Nov 7 2012 15:03:50.929: Error: CSI: IMS: Fetch Account: Error Code: I-70 Error Message: Unable to retrieve account information (Note: this may not be an error)
    • Build 50: Nov 7 2012 15:03:50.934: Error: CSI: IMS: Connect: Error Code: I-200 Error Message: No Account

     

     

    About adobe authorization sites.

    For example when I trying to connect this site https://ims-na1.adobelogin.com (IE9) it seems to be opened, but shows nothing. IT Security engineer says that he allow all access to this 4 sites.

     

    If I type wrong password Muse give me an error "The Adobe ID and password do not match. Please try again"

    If I type correct password Muse thinking 5-10 seconds and give me I-200 Error (see screenshot in attach)2.png.

     

     

    Any ideas to solve this error and launch Muse?

    Out of pages and hours of reading... this was the only one that worked for me.  Thanks! For me deleting the opm.db file definitely worked... but ... when I restarted Muse, after deleting the file, I had to fo through the "re-subscribe" option one time... then I was back in! All my files were still accessible and all back to normal.  Hallelujah!

    An Update: There are three known causes for an I-200 error. Of these three, number 1 is the most common. We're continuing to work with the Adobe subscription/trial team to isolate the cause of the opm.db file corruption and to improve the error reporting in the case of a firewall or security software interfering with Muse contacting the subscription/trial servers.

     

    1) The "opm.db" file has somehow become corrupted. If this is the cause, deleting this file will resolve the error. (Muse will automatically generate a new one.)

     

    Please delete the "opm.db" file found in:

     

    on Mac: <yourusername>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE

    on Windows XP: <youruser>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\OOBE

    on Windows 7: <youruser>\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE

     

    If you're not familiar with how to navigate to hidden files/folders on your computer:

     

    on Mac: Use the "Go to folder" item in the "Go" menu in the Finder and enter "~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE" (without the quotes). Delete the opm.db file.

     

    on Windows: Click on Start. Type run and press Enter. Type "%localappdata%\Adobe\OOBE\" (without the quotes) and press Enter. Delete the opm.db file.

     

    2) Anti-virus or anti-malware software on your machine is blocking Muse' ability to connect to the internet to verify your trial or subscription. If you're running McAfee or other security software, please verify it's configured to enable Muse to connect to the internet.

     

    3) A corporate firewall is blocking Muse from being able to connect to the internet. Muse needs to be able to reach the following four https URLs to verify your subscription:

     

    https://na1mbls.licenses.adobe.com - should load a page that's clearly from Adobe

    https://ims-na1.adobelogin.com - should load a blank page with no errors in your browser (no server not found or 404)

    https://adobeid-na1.services.adobe.com - should load a blank page with no errors in your browser (no server not found or 404)

    https://na1r.services.adobe.com - should load a blank page with no errors in your browser (no server not found or 404)

     

    If any of these four URLs fail to load in your browser, you'll need to adjust the settings of your local firewall (or more likely) need to work with the IT department for your corporation to adjust the settings for the corporate firewall.

    Hi! Just in addition to what Zak and others have mentioned - I found the "opm.db" file, but in the folder in the following path:

     

    C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE

    Zak, thank for detailed answer. Do we need a connection allowed with other ports than 80 or 8080? If yes wich ports we need  to open?

    Nov 20, 2012 12:03 PM   in reply to AdobeMuse3

    80 and 8080 should be sufficient. Muse also uses ports 33333 and 33334, but only locally for the Preview in Muse and Preview in Browser features so these ports would need to be enabled on your local machine, but I would not expect them to need to be enabled in your corporate firewall. (Note that if these ports are used by other processes, Muse will start trying consecutively higher port numbers, 33335, 33336, etc.).

    Zak thanks again. But I don't think that I clearly understand you.

    Do we need a connection allowed with ports 80,8080 and 443? Or port 443 refers to Preview features (I think Muse can launch without this features)?

    Hi Zak,

     

    I've gone through all of these steps and no solution for me on my Mac... and those links on your #2 all work fine for me btw. I've contacted support and even sent my log file to them, but I guess I'm waiting for a response.

     

    I know this has everything to do with the fact that I first downloaded Muse as a trial.. then within a few days upgraded to Creative Cloud.. but Muse continued as a trial not the full version, even after I updated it. Now the trial ended and Muse no longer works for me..

     

    So everytime I load Muse, it makes me login like I don't have creative cloud (which I do) and then I get this error (An unexpected error occurred processing your request. Please try again later. I-200)

     

    I've also re-installed, etc... I'm betting I actually need the server-side fix?!

     

    Can you help? I'm hoping to launch some important sites very soon. Thanks for you hard work!

    This morning I too was faced with the dreaded "

    I-200" Error when launching Muse (I am a full Cloud Member and have used Muse for several Months)

    I too have a pim.db but no opm.db inside the OOBE folder: well its actually an alias in the folder pointing to the> Ulitities/Adobe Application Manager/ folder. I am tempted to try deleting the pim.db, but would like further info from anyone before trying.

    I have several clients sites in limbo and don't know what to do next. It seems its been several months since this issue was addressed here on the forums
