PPro CS6 doesn’t Quit normally! Unexpectedly Quits everytime.

One more reply then I’ll quit.
Try a Raid 0 for your two internals and then just back up your projects to the raid 5 or get another drive internally to back up to. You can use SuperDuper or equivalent program to automatically back up only NEW files to another disc, keeping file structure intact. Actually why not just blast 4 HDD’s in the box for a screaming raid 0? It’s so cheap, why not? That raid 1 is doing you no favors at all, because it’s only a two disc raid 1, it is actually slower than a single drive. A single drive will do what, 60MB sec? Now you are trying to write to one drive while it is concurrently trying to back itself up to it’s Siamese twin? Download the AJA system test and check on your read write speeds.Get an NVidia card! Why on earth would you spec an Adobe system without NVidia for graphics is beyond me…really.

Hey no worries. Gives me a chance to dive deeper into specs and learn! Chose RAID 1 just for mirroring alone for the project files. That is the only thing on that drive. PP, FCP, AE & Motion files, that’s it. I only did that because everything I’ve ready said both FCP and Premiere work best with project files on separate drive from media and not on the system drive. I could remove the RAID 1 and go back to 2 regular HDDs and use 1 as a back up. Media on RAID 5 external. Below is test speeds for RAID 1 internal. Averages about 80-90Mbs. Not bad, haven’t had any issues with it.
This system was built a while back for my predecessor, who was mostly a AE guy (not that these are good specs for AE either), but the IT guy, is just that IT. Not post-production IT and doesn’t know the ins-outs of post workflow. Its a different ball game! So I’m trying to change things.
I was a long time FCP guy and with FCP 7 no longer supported and X not being up to par for us, I made decision to move to Adobe CS6. I would love a Cuda card for the acceleration but this was system built before the switch was made, so I’m now having to deal with it.
Also, just bought Motion 5, which could be causing some issues with everything too. I’ve noticed weird things happening is that was installed. Love Motion and slowly making the the switch to AE.

Just setup the two internals as a raid 0.
4 drives, Raid 0 in my i7 “Mac” running flawlessly for over a year. I have an external 4 Drive Raid 0 as well and another 2 disc Raid 1 for project backup. Never had a problem and “I loves me my speed” on the internal raid. I actually have 6 drives in the machine. A “cache” drive(that’s where you should be using the SDD), a “project raid” 4 3TB drives in raid 0, a Mountain Lion install partitioned with a “backup” ML lion just in case an update goes wrong(used SuperDuper to create the backup partition).
Try removing third party plugins. These could easily be causing an Adobe shutdown hang.

I’d agree with the folks pointing to the Hack setup. Sorry, looks like something in Premiere is not happy with whatever the system is that was set up for you.
I’ve seen this on rare occasions with CS6 across our 6 Mac systems, but very rare. Without a proper Mac system, it’s hard for me to make any further suggestions except that PPro runs equally well in Windows so perhaps just switch your systems over to Windows?

Coming a little late to the party, did you ever try the Repair Permissions process? And while you are at it, did you also delete the prefs?

Erik, just a question regarding the internal RAID 0. If only project files are being read and written to my RAID 1, why would I want those speeds of the RAID 0. There’s also no redundancy then either. I’m just more curious as to why I would want RAID 0 for only project files. My media is being read and written to on my RAID 5 external, which is plenty fast enough for full HD and ProRes workflow.
As for Hackintosh, why would that matter since all the drivers and hardware are apple compatible. The OS sees the same things it sees when loaded on any other Mac. Could just be the GFX card then.

I did try both things. I launced Prem and held down Shift+Option to trash prefs. Opened project, everythings all good there. Edit fine, export ok, but still can’t Quit properly. Icon stays active in Finder, but app isn’t running. Check the Force Quit menu and see this:

What’s different between your Hack and the other one? Anything?
Does that other machine have the same issue?

Well it was worth a shot. I hate to say it, but it maybe time to think about uninstalling and reinstalling.
Has it always had this issue or did this develop over time?

Sorry for not mentioning this but the other Hack is not used for post work. It’s used by the IT manager.
