Cc Cleaner Preferences On Mac From Time

Cc Cleaner Preferences On Mac From Time

I decided to restore the mac from time machine, and let it do its thing for 3 hours.

Even this morning everything was fine, but at about 1pm, after I had exported a video from Premiere (deadline nearing tonight) I switched over to After Effects, when AFX was strangely reporting not enough memory for the disk cache.

Strange I thought, there are still 600 gb free on the allocated volume.

It just said that it couldnt find any video drivers and I should install some.

WTF I thought I remembered a thread that was here on the forum about just that problem, but sadly it was never resolved.

Meanwhile I noticed that After Effects stopped displaying ANYTHING in the viewer.

I wanted to switch render engines to software and back to metal, only to notice that it was ALREADY set to software (opposed to my usual settings) and greyed out, so I could do nothing.

Next I thought, hm maybe something messed up with permissions or so, so I checked the user folder and library, but all seemed good, diskutil first aid also didnt help.

I then noticed when I wanted to uninstall after effects, that the Adobe CC app told me that it wasnt even installed.

WTF. I went to my time machine and tried to restore some Adobe folders deep in the library that have helped me in the past, but strangely suddenly time machine tells me that the root folder doesnt exist and asks me if it should create one.

Now this was super weird, as the root folder wouldve been the library or my user folder.

I tried to manually copy over the files from the time machine disk, but it failed every time.

I finally resorted to use the Adobe CC cleaner utility and try to do a fresh install of the entire Adobe suite.

I created a new user account and tried it there, but it also didnt work.

I was losing time quickly and my deadline came closer and I just couldnt work AT ALL because Premiere wouldnt launch and AFX wouldnt display anything.

I tried something from the Adobe website, to boot with only one display attached and wow, suddenly Premiere launches again.

That was the point when I decided I had to wipe the entire machine if I hope to get any work done tomorrow at least.

Clients were already upset, but what could I do, Adobe and Apple also have off on Sunday so I couldnt call them I decided to restore the mac from time machine, and let it do its thing for 3 hours.

WTF I then went to format the whole damn thing and installed Catalina fresh.

Unbelievable. Right now Im installing everything from scratch and trying to figure out where Resolve stores its keyboard shortcuts so that I maybe can recover those manually from the Time Machine backup.

What the hell was this Did the Adobe suite kill my entire mac Was I hacked Did OSX coincidentally mess up some permissions all of a sudden It came absolutely out of the blue, I installed nothing nor did I perform any updates or so.

Really scary experience actually and thank god the clients could push the deadline one day.

If anyone has any ideas on what I experienced, it would be much appreciated.
