CS6 (6.0.2) crashes on quit every time, any ideas?

[Michael Cox]

I have noticed one thing which may be a cause (but not the only cause) of this hang: quitting Adobe Premiere while AME is running, AME might be accessing Premiere (i.e. to transcode audio); this happened just now, and once AME had finished importing the soundtracks Premiere closed.

Thank’s for that heads up regarding AME!
I rarely use it so that could not be an issue in my case though.
AME is a whole story by itself that Adobe needs to take a serious look at.
In my case I can’t batch export AME anymore for instance.
And then there is the pixel aspect issue when trying to get an SD FHA from an HD source….

Hi everybody !!

I had the exact same problem (PPro CS6 was crashing anytime i tried to quit). I don’t know if my solution will work for everybody but it worked for me !!

The crashes started three weeks ago when i accidently open “Disk Drill” (HD manager,cleaner). At first i didn’t make the conection because i tought i’d close “Disk Drill” right away. The thing is, “Disk Drill” wasn’t close, it was on background operating…

Once i’ve notice that, I closed it (for good this time), and VOILA PPro stoped crashing.

So my solution is : close every HD manager, cleaner or any other software related to HD (that must be some kind of conflict in the autorisations).

Hope it will work for all of you or at least driving you to your own solution !
