Cannot open Dreamweaver in Snow Leopard

I have a MacBook (alum 2009) that I just changed out the hard drive (the original failed). At the same time I installed Snow Leopard 10.6 on the new drive. Ever since I cannot open Dreamweaver CS4 (or Photoshop CS3 for that matter). I get a 150.30 error code having to do with the licensing failing. I contacted Customer Service and have had NO help sent my way that has solved the problem. It seams the tech support people have no clue.
Can anyone out there help me with this problem?
The latest help sent to me by tech support is the following. It did not work and seems to be for Leopard 10.4 or 10.5:

Thanks Snakeyez02.
I did have the drive replaced under warranty. The Apple Dealer I went to allowed me to upgrade my old 250gb drive to a Western Digital 320gb (of course charging me the difference in price). I had backed up all the data on my old drive on a Time Machine. I purchased the Family pack of Snow Leopard and did a clean install on the new drive. I then restored my data from the Time Machine.
This is when I could not use DW and PS. Both give the same error message ( 150.30: see below ) and then the program shuts down. I tried to call Adobe Support and gave up after being put on hold for two 1/2 hour attempts. BTW, I have Acrobat 8 and it works just fine on the new setup.
I then went the on-line route and am in the process of talking back and forth with some guy that can barely write English. Adobe's support is beginning to frustrate me!
I am using the most current install from Adobe (from a download) and am using a new password given to me by Adobe Support. I have done all the things given in the Knowledge Base article linked in my original post. And I have fixed Permissions in Apple's Disk Utility. All with out luck.
I will upgrade SL to 10.6.1 and see if that works, but I do not have confidence that it will. I feel that somewhere on my computer is an old DW file that will not go away when I uninstall the program (yes, I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times using both AppZaper and DW's uninstall program).
Any thoughts??
p.s. Adobe has always had a terrible licensing system from day one. I have been a loyal customer for over a decade, but I am really getting tired of their restrictive licensing that punishes those who pay for their programs.

Cannot open OnLocation with Snow Leopard

hi, i have the cs4 master collection and i tried to use onlocation. I am on a late 2008 15 inch macbook pro. The program starts bouncing on the dock but then it doesnt load or anything. Then it stops and closes itself. No error messages, no loading windows, no nothing. What can i do?

I'm having the same problem. MacBookPro, OS X 10.6.2.
I am able to launch if I go to Terminal, and open the executable file inside the .app package directly, e.g. type:
/Applications/Adobe\ OnLocation\ CS4/Adobe\ OnLocation\ CS4.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe\ OnLocation
A bunch of what look to be debugging messages print out in the Terminal window as you operate the app. But it seems to work.
I guess this will be my workaround for the time being.
Update: 01/04/10
There has been an OL update or two but these don't seem to address this issue, whatever it is. I've created an alias to the executable in the MacOS subfolder, and just use that to launch.

Can you tell me why iPad 2 is not cannot to laptop with snow Leopard it doesn't cannot it

Can you tell me why iPad 2 is not cannot to laptop with snow Leopard it doesn't cannot it

You question is garbled. Are you saying your iPad cannot connect to a laptop with Snow Leopard? Restart your computer. Start iTunes and check for updates. If there are any updates to itunes download and install it. Then restart your computer and start iTunes.
Then reboot your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart.
Finally connect your iPad to your computer. Use a USB on your computer that is not on the keyboard or connected to a hub.
If you do these things and it still doesn't show up in iTunes on your computer report back here and explain clearly just what happened.

Macbook Air with no OSX (Mid 2011) ... cannot install Lion nor Snow Leopard

I have a Macbook Air with no OSX (Mid 2011) ... and I cannot install Lion nor Snow Leopard.
I purchased this Macbook Air 13" and found that the OS had been wiped off. Since then I've been able to get the Recovery Disk Assistant to get me into the Recovery Partition on the MBA... but when I try the "Reinstall Mac OS X" from within Mac OS X Utilities, the download fails after 30 sec. and I get the error message, "Could not find installation information for this machine. Contact Apple Care". This MBA is still covered under Apple's Applecare, but the nearest Apple Store is 3 hrs away and from what I've read, they may not be able to help me.
I know all about Build 11A2063 but cannot figure out where or how to get that.
Also, I've tried making a bootable Lion Drive from my Mac Mini onto a flashdrive, but this too did not work on the MBA (I assume because it isn't Build 11A2063).
I have a huge expensive paper weight with no idea of where to go from here. Any help would be much appreciated.

Where did you buy an MBA without an operating system? Was this from another individual who took the liberty to remove the Mac OS X before selling it to you?
You might try calling Apple customer support and have them walk you through the process, as they can figure out just what version of the OS should be on that machine.

Cannot view pdf in snow leopard in safari, cannot view pdf in snow leopard in safari

I have a MacBookPro Duo Core that I just installed Snow Leopard on, Now I cannot view pdf's online in either Safari or FireFox. And I am getting a message when I open Safari that it does not support community toolbar.

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Dreamweaver and Snow Leopard

i recently did a fresh install of snow leopard and everytime i open Dreamweaver CS4 the dock icon bounces and then it quits. No error message from either Dreaweaver or Snow Leopard. Any ideas for a fix?

Good sir (excuse me if I guessed incorrectly!),
Many thanks for taking the trouble to reply to - er - my troubles. I
really must cease posting these things after dinner...
I am a beginner (at a ridiculously advanced age) in the world of
htmling, so forgive me if some of my answers are based on ignorance of
how things work.
Code: Near the top of the page is the inscription:
... and before various bits of text are things like: I can cause the right (for me) things to happen if I manually change 'Links' to 'Redsub' or similar, but I can't make changes by clicking on the relevant bit in the CSS box. And, as I indicated, if I select the text, then use Text > CSS styles, 'None' is ticked and the options
are greyed out. I can't seem to un-tick the 'None'.
If you can suggest something, I'd be most grateful; if you're as
puzzled as I am, I wouldn't be terribly surprised.
Happy days,
Ol.

Can't open Aperture after Snow Leopard to Mavericks upgrade.

Upgraded to Mavericks from Snow Leopard. Now, the Aperture icon in the dock is greyed out. When I try to open it I get the message that I have Aperture 3.2.4 and it can't be opened with Mavericks. I purchased Aperture from the App Store when I had Snow Leopard and it shows in my purchases list, but when I check for available updates nothing shows. I have US English in my preferences, and Aperture is in my Applications file. I tried to update Aperture with 3.4.4 as an interim step from the Apple website, but got the message that I had to update from the App Store.
Any help appreciated.
Russ

Could there be anything interfering with the App Store connecting to Apple's servers? Firewall, antivirus filters? Any problems with your AppleID? Credit card expired, the answers to your security questions too short, an too simple password?
In some cases it will help, to boot into Safe Mode before connecting to the AppStore. Try to load the updates page while booted into Safe mode, see: Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode

I have a MacBook that is running 10.5.8 and I cannot update it to Snow leopard

I have a MacBook that is running 10.5.8 and meets the tech specs for Snow Lepoard. I am attempting to upgrade to SL using a "Mac OS X Install DVD version 10.6.3". However, when attempting to run the installer from the disc I recieve an error stating "This Mac cannot be upgraded to this version of OS X." No further information is given nor are there any buttons or clicks to recieve additional info. I receive the same error whether I'm running the installer when the Mac is already running or when holding down the C key as the computer starts up.
Does anyone know why this issue is occurring or how to resolve it?
Thanks

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
(NB: PowerPC applications can still be run in Snow Leopard using Rosetta, but they will not work in later versions of OS X.)
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes.
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
iCloud system requirements:

If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):

TM backup disk cannot be found after Snow Leopard install

Message from elsewhere re-posted here after helpful advice from Apple Discussions Team.
Just installed Snow Leopard (with TM switched off though not unplugged) and got all the software updates available. I re-installed the TM installation disk. Everything went ok until I wanted to restore from my Time Capsule. I switched the big switch on. TM is continuing to make backups but when I want to locate folders to restore TM won't go back further than the day I installed Snow Leopard. Having selected the TM disk and entered the password the dialogue tells me that the TM backup disk cannot be found and offers me the select disk dialogue again. I have gone through the unplug/plug routine.
Through Migration Assistant I tried the contents of my Pictures folder (including all my iPhoto libraries) but it just supplied an empty folder. Since I didn't migrate at the time of the Snow install I wonder whether it was migrating the earliest backup it had made after the Snow install. This would make sense if "the Time Machine backup disk cannot be found", as the dialogue keeps telling me.
Anyone any ideas?

I'm not sure just what you did.
Did you reinstall Snow Leopard? Did you do a full restore?
First, just re-select your Time Capsule in TM Preferences.
If that doesn't help, try a "Full Reset" of TM per #A4 of the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip* at the top of this forum.
If that doesn't help, see #E2 there.
If still no help, use the Finder to see if you have two sparse bundles on your Time Capsule. If so, try mounting one manually by double-clicking it, then using the Browse option per #E2.

Mac OS X Lion Mailboxes cannot be read in Snow Leopard mail.

Yesterday I made a backup of my Mail folder from the User Library, because I wanted to remove Lion by the usage of the Factory Disks, because Lion is too slow responsive. Now I am back to Snow Leopard, but I figured out that unlike Snow Leopard, Lion created a subfolder named V2 (which I suppose stands for Version 2). When I import my mailboxes back to Leopard Mail, It brings all the mailbox folders structure but without the contents (emails)!!!...
Any ideas?
Thanks

You cannot go backwards. If you wish to recover your mail, your only option is to reinstall Lion. At that point, you can either resolve whatever problem you were having, or export your mail so that you can use it in Snow Leopard.

Lower DVD drive won't open/close since Snow Leopard upgrade

Hello,
I have 2 optical drives in my Mac Pro: 1 Superdrive in the upper slot and 1 DVD-ROM drive in the lower slot (a HITACHI DVD-ROM GD-7000 which came with my old Dual G4 450).
Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, I can't use the lower drive anymore, it won't open or close (I used the alt-eject keys, nothing happens). The drive also is not listed in the eject-menu in the menue bar, but it appears in system profiler as:
HITACHI DVD-ROM GD-7000:
Modell: HITACHI DVD-ROM GD-7000
Version: 016J
Seriennummer:
Absteckbares Laufwerk: Nein
Protokoll: ATAPI
Einheiten-Nummer: 1
Socket-Typ: Intern
Low-Power-Polling: Nein
Ausschalten: Nein
Anybody any ideas what I can do to get that 2nd drive to work again?
Thanks in advance,
Peter

Today I had a little time do do some testing:
The tip with the SMC RESET button didn't help.
Zapping the PRAM/NVRAM didn't help either.
The jumpers were on "cable select" on both drives, I tried to set one as "master" and the other one as "slave". Problem still exists.
I changed the position of the drives to check if the cable is ok. Still the same.
I unplugged the other (working) drive and had just the one plugged in. It shows up in system profiler but not in the drives menue nor in the disk utility application.
I booted from my 10.5 installation DVD and tried the disk utility from there. It's not on the list.
Any other ideas?
Peter

HT203322 Cannot Install Mac OSX Snow Leopard on MacBook 10.5.8 because Mac Hard Drive has Time Machine on It?

I have an old MacBook (2006?) with OS 10.5.8 that I would like to upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard, which I have on DVD. When asked to select what disk I would like to install the upgrade to, my only option is the Mac Hard Drive icon with a big yellow triangle/exclamation point saying I cannot install there because I am running Time Machine on that disk.
I have run searches using "Find" for any vestige of Time Machine left on my computer. I have deleted the icon from my dock. I have tried to run disk utility to delete just the Time Machine but can't target just that. I have rebooted after each of these steps. Nothing changes.
It is Kafka-esque because I need to upgrade my OS so that I can upgrade my browser so I can read the question section of apple.com related to upgrading to Snow Leopard.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Thanks, seventy one. I do have everything backed up everything to an external hard drive, plus the most important stuff also on Dropbox. Given the age of this laptop, and given that I've been the sole owner and almost the sole user, I'm mystified as to why/how Time Machine is on my internal hard drive. I agree with you that it would defeat its purpose to back up files to the computer they're already on! It reminds me of the time a friend of mine put a bucket under his sink because there was a big leak in the pipe that was splashing into the cupboard. When the bucket was full, he took it out from under the sink and poured it down the sink to empty it. Ooops. Using Time Machine to back up files on the same computer it's installed on feels the same to me.
It's interesting because I've found versions of my question posted by many other users, but I can't find an adequate response. Mostly, there are responses that don't directly address the problem, which in turn are rated by the petitioners as 50% or so helpful.
I'm not sure what I'll do beyond searching a little more on the web and sleeping on it. In all seriousness, though, thank you for your help and suggestions. These Apple Help Boards are amazing, in large part owing to people like you who respond to strange plaints like my own.

Open region DVDing - Snow Leopard

Hello - I have a Mac Book 10.6.8 with Snow Leopard, and trying to find a platform that would play whatever region of dvd I want - I have a few region 1's and some films I want to buy seem to be Region 1 only.
After adding VLC to my secure/allow acces listing, the few Region 1's I have tried with various from VLC {http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html} just result in a "cannot play this file" message?
Any ideas?

DVD regions are stored in the drive firmware, you only get so many attempts IIRC. If you change it too many times the drive gets locked to the last one.
The sidebar also has some more informing threads if you haven't seen them yet…

HP 7210 cannot print wirelessly with Snow Leopard

After updating to Snow Leopard on my sons Mac Laptop his HP 7210 will no longer print wirelessly via airport extreme.
I am able to print with the printer directly hooked up to my computer with USB.
I reinstalled the printer driver, same results.
Then I d/l the drivers from Apple and still the same results.
Airport shows the printer as being hooked up.
Whenever I try to print wirelessly airport says it cannot find the printer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

How do you have the Officejet 7210 hooked up wirelessly? Is it plugged into the USB port on your Airport Extreme (which I assume is the case based on your comments, but I'm not 100% sure)? We have been receiving many complaints about this setup not working (as have other vendors) but I don't have a good answer why yet or how to work around it.
Out of curiosity, have you tried creating the print queue using the IP address of your Airport instead of using Bonjour?
Just trying to nail things down.
