1. Re: device central 5.5 keep crashing.. why?
Jens Nandi Jul 19, 2011 9:45 AM (in response to sbmannkoh)Hi Ann,
What you can try is to delete or rename the "Adobe Device Central CS5.5" user folder.
Depending on your OS, the folder can be found here:
- Windows XP: C:/Documents and Settings/<Username>/Local Settings/Adobe/Adobe Device Central CS5.5
- Windows Vista: C:/Users/<Username>/AppData/Local/Adobe/Adobe Device Central CS5.5
- Mac OS: Volumes/<Users>/<Username>/Library/Application/Adobe//Adobe Device Central CS5.5
If the crashes continue, then we will need to investigate further.
Thanks,
Nandi

2. Re: device central 5.5 keep crashing.. why?
sbmannkoh Jul 21, 2011 2:21 AM (in response to Jens Nandi)Hi Nandi,
i have located the directory on my C:drive and delete it.
When i restart device Central 5.5, it shows initialising and it rebuilds the directory. However it still hangs, this time round showing device 0-802...
Could it be any of these factors?
- an older version of CS4 running on the same machine?
- memory issues?
- running on windows 7
Alternatively, i realise the device directory stores the xml files of all the devices. Is there any url where i can download a zip containing all the xml and then extract and put them into the device directory.
Thanks for your help

Jens Nandi Jul 21, 2011 3:05 AM (in response to sbmannkoh)Hi Ann,
In the same location where you deleted the "Adobe Device Central CS5.5" folder, look for the "Adobe Device Central CS4" folder and rename it, and then try again and see if it helps.
Thanks,
Nandi

sbmannkoh Jul 21, 2011 3:21 AM (in response to Jens Nandi)Hi Nandi,
tried the following but still same result.. crash and close app while updating
1. delete cs5.5 and copy cs4 directory
2. copy cs4 and rename as cs5.5
3. delete cs5.5, start device central, and copy device directory and device.txt from cs4 over to new cs5.5
I notice, cs4, device.txt show 129 .. but cs5.5 device.txt show 299. And in both method 2 and 3.. the device.txt automatically updates to 299 once i start apps.
If you have a cs5.5 directory that is working, maybe can send over as a zip.. I try to extract and try to load the apps.
Thanks
Ann

Jens Nandi Jul 21, 2011 3:24 AM (in response to sbmannkoh)Please don't copy from CS4 to CS5.5, that is destined to create problems
Once again, rename or delete CS5.5 and CS4 folders, make sure that both applications are not launched at that time, then launch CS 5.5. Lets give this a try and let me know

Jens Nandi Jul 28, 2011 2:01 AM (in response to sbmannkoh)Hi Ann,
Really sorry to hear of your problem. It is the first such case that we are hearing of and since our workaround suggestions are not helping, we are s bit in the dark about the it.
To help us investigate, can you please list as many details as possible about the machine that you ae using?
Details like..
- OS name and Service Pack version
- 32 or 64 bit?
- How many versions of Creative Suite simultaneously installed, or whether upgraded?
- Connection type, whether in a company intranet with restrictions (if so can you try a different network?)
- Does Device Central of another version function?
- Any other Adobe product that is causing similar problems?
We will try hard to figure out what might be causing the problem. Presently we are unable to provide/suggest any other workaround than the ones already discussed.
Thanks,
Nandi

Jens Nandi Aug 1, 2011 5:57 AM (in response to sbmannkoh)Hi Ann
Thanks for providing the information.
If the crash is always reproducible, and you have the time to go through the steps described here "Creating Windows Mini-Dumps" http://kb.acronis.com/content/2191 to create a log and post/send it, we can then have a closer look at it and maybe be able to suggest a solution or at least provide you with an explanation.
Also, if you have a possibility of trying to connect to another internet connection, outside your company net, it would be worth a try to see if the same problem occurs.
As already mentioned, since this is the first time we are hearing of such a problem, we are unfortunaletly unable to provide you with any sure solution yet.
Thanks for your patience
