Repeating what I said last week:
When you upgrade a Mac OS (as opposed to installing the new version fresh), Mac OS will _often_ set permissions of folder and files incorrectly.
You'll see this problem in programs like After Effects in the form of error messages saying that a file can't be written, overwritten, or renamed.
To fix this in the case of After Effects, go to the preferences folder and set the _entire_ preferences folder and all of its contents to be writable, not read-only.
By "preferences folder", I mean whichever of these is relevant for your version:
/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/10.0/
/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/10.5/
/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/11.0/
/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/12.0/
/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/12.1/

Subject: Re: [AE] CS5 After Effects Error - Need Help
I saw this mentioned on the list last week.
You need to go to the prefs folder and get info and make it rewriteable.
Has anyone had this same issue after installing Maverick?
After the project opens it quits immediately.

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
