Cannot open Dreamweaver CS4 in Mac OS 10.9.4

When I try to open my copy of Dreamweaver CS4 on my iMac with OS 10.9.4 I get the following alert:
Licensing for this product has stopped working.
This product has has (sic) encountered a problem which requires
that you restart your computer before it can be launched.
If you continue to see this message after restarting your
computer, please contact either your IT administrator or Adobe
technical support for help, and mention the error code shown
at the bottom of this screen.
Error: 150:30
I contacted tech support and they said that my Dreamweaver was too old for them to offer support
and that I should try the Forums.
Help! I just need to correct one small bit of text, and I cannot see buying a newer version to do such a small thing.

That is not the same situation. I had the same error today after restoring a Time Machine backup on a new drive. I'm using Os 10.8.5 and CS4 worked just fine with it before the restoration. Here is some help...which so far hasn't worked for me, but it might work for you. ;-)

  • 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.

  • Slow synchronization with Dreamweaver CS4 on Mac

    I've been using Dreamweaver for 13 years on a PC and just recently cross-graded to Dreamweaver CS4 for Mac. During the time I used a PC, the process of synchronizing with a remote folder (I use the Local/Network option) would take just a few seconds. However, now that I have switched to the Mac (running Snow Leopard), synchronizing takes several minutes. I have done Internet searches on this topic and haven't found anything relevant, so I am assuming that this is not a common problem. So I am wondering if there is some simple configuration setting that I could change to make this problem go away.

    The usual way on a Mac to increase the size or zoom of a page (pretty much any page) is to press [command]-+.
    So I did this. And the only thing that will expand (I'm using CS3) is the Design view. Additionally, there is a command from within Dreamweaver itself that allows you to zoom (or reduce) the size of the page you are working on -- but this capability goes away as soon as you look at any code.
    It would appear that Adobe is ignoring Apple's Application Programming Guidelines, because [command]-+ works for every other application that runs on a Macintosh (though I'm not using BBEdit which I would imagine would be a similar code editor).
    So, there is a workaround that will work, though it's kind of nasty.
    Open up your System Preferences. Click on Universal Access. With the "Seeing" tab selected, turn on the Zoom.
    Hold down [option]-[command]-+
    The area you are working on will zoom in.
    You can turn on and off Zoom assistance using [option]-[command]-8 if you don't want to have to go into your System Preferences>Universal Access controls to get this turned on quickly while you are writing code.
    I do note that in Leopard (I am not using Snow Leopard) the Universal Access control tells me that zoom in is [option]-[command]-= and that is true on the regular keyboard, but I have an extended keyboard and I am used to pressing the "+" key on the number keypad (which works).
    I realize that using this control is a workaround and that it would probably be a good thing for Adobe to try to get their applications to better fit Apple's guidelines.

  • I am trying to create a new profile, but I cannot open profile manager in Mac OS 10.5.8. I get the following error: "dyld: unknown required load command 0x80000022 Trace/BPT trap".

    Hello,
    I am trying to repair my Firefox profile, but I cannot open profile manager in Mac OS 10.5.8. When I follow the directions for opening profile manager in my Terminal utility, I get the following error: "dyld: unknown required load command 0x80000022 Trace/BPT trap".
    At this point, Firefox (v 5.0 or previous versions), is not running.
    Thanks.

    [http://asqueella.blogspot.com/2010/12/dyld-unknown-required-load-command.html Here's an Explanation]. Basically you need to add "arch -i386 " at the beginning of the command because 10.5 is 32-bit only and more recent versions of Firefox default to 64-bit.

  • I cannot open a pdf on mac - am running 17.0.1 on mac os 10.6.8

    Hi, I cannot open a pdf on mac - am running 17.0.1 on mac os 10.6.8.
    I followed the instructions here: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/pdf-files-are-blank-and-cant-be-downloaded-mac?esab=a&s=pdf+mac&r=0&as=s but the problem is not fixed - I just get left with a blank screen in a new tab when trying to open pdfs (the downloads folder is also empty).
    For example here:
    http://unetealfuturodeltrabajo.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/esthetic-world-dic-2012.pdf

    You may need to both change your Application preferences AND disable the Adobe Acrobat plugin. To disable the plugin:
    Tools > Add-ons > Plugins category
    Any luck?

  • I cannot open iTunes on my MAC.

    I cannot open iTunes on my MAC.  I receive error code -45054.  I have updated to 11.1.3, checked for software updates, deleted plist files in the library, and restarted my computer multiple times.  Still cannot access and play any of my music.  Any recommendations?

    Boot from your Snow Leopard install DVD, run Disk Utility and run Disk First Aid.
    Reboot.
    Then Apple menu > Software Update.
    Then reinstall iTunes.

  • Editing text in Dreamweaver CS4 on Mac 10.6.2 causes paragraph ends to disapear

    Editing text in Dreamweaver CS4 on Mac 10.6.2 causes paragraph ends to disappear.
    When adding bold in design view (strong) to two words at the start of my paragraph the last line of the paragraph disappears. This is somewhat worrying as it means any editing I do in dreamweaver could do massive amounts of damage to the content.
    We are pasting the original content into the code view so as to strip the formating Dreamweaver then decides to take the last line break in the source code paragraph and then delete it see example below:
    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aenean dignissim nisi id risus varius ut scelerisque massa consectetur. Vestibulum non tortor augue, sit amet dictum lacus. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Curabitur ultrices felis et dui tincidunt sit amet tristique est pulvinar. Nulla a lectus quis erat ornare ultricies. Sed ac elementum magna. Nulla aliquet accumsan nulla. In dictum accumsan tortor eget consequat. Suspendisse potenti. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nunc et orci eu augue condimentum sodales quis id mauris. Nam enim nisi, convallis eu volutpat non, malesuada quis nulla. Sed auctor nulla et tellus vehicula lacinia interdum odio lobortis vehicula lacinia interdum odio.</p>
    So when applying Strong with the Bold button in the design view to the first words 'Lorem ipsum' the last part of the paragraph 'lobortis vehicula lacinia interdum odio' will be deleted. Bizare and very dangerous especially for Annual Report content.
    Any experience of similar or solutions would be greatly received.
    PS. I have restarted, repaired permissions, checked dreamweaver is up to date trashed plist's and removed duplicate fonts.

    It could be a problem in the templates.
    In all honesty, I just tried pasting text into the Design section of a page.
    It doesn't even work on my Mac, and it took three tries to get it to actually paste in VIsta.
    I had to go to the code and reformat it after it did paste, but it eventually went.
    I don't work with templates much.
    Well, that actually makes me feel a little better, if it makes sense to feel better to learn that it could be the expensive software and not just us. I guess I will view this as an opportunity to improve me coding speed :-) Thanks for the feedback.

  • Cannot open PDF files on Mac

    I cannot open PDFs on my Mac but can open the same files on my PC.  When I create a PDF from the computer and when I send it to our office printer as a scan-PDF, I cannot open either.  Have downloaded Adobe Acrobat, etc., and still waiting for a response from them.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Don't use Acrobat, use Preview. Preview is already pre-installed on your computer. If you cannot locate it, type Command-Shift (opens Spotlight) and type in Preview and hit return.

  • Cannot open InDesign CS4

    I cannot open InDesign CS4 all it does it show errors and then closes. These are the errors I get.

    If you have the serial number with you then you can download the trial version of  ID CS4 from Prodesigntools website: http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html. If you had a CS4 Suite then download the appropriate suite and if you had point product i.e. just InDesign then download from the links available for ID CS4 only. You have to be on the trial page of Adobe.com to be able to download from the links. Replace the http://www.prodesigntools.com/ with http://trials2.adobe.com/ <rest of the link here>.

  • Unable to open AE CS4 on Mac

    Hi I have just opened my brand new Master collection CS4 for Mac and have successfully loaded everything onto my brand new Macbook. I have just tried to open the AE software with no luck! the animation at the bottom of the screen on the icon starts to flash but then nothing. i tried opening Photoshop and On location and had no problem opening any of the other software in the collection, it just seems to be AE and the one piece of software i bough the collection for. I don't think there is a problem with my spec's on my Macbook and i have more then enough space on my HD. I am running Mac OS X version 10.6.2 i don't know if this might have something to do with the problem. anyone have any idea what i can do?
    Cheers

    Try applying the 9.0.2 update. Choose any other Adobe product that launches and go to the Help->Updates menu. That will launch the updater and grab the patches. Many products needed to be patched to work well with 10.6.2 so you'll want to grab them all.

  • HT6114 After the latest OS X update (10.9.2) I cannot open Outlook (Office for MAC 2011). Outlook flashes briefly then nothing happens. How can I get Outlook to open?

    After the latest OS X update (10.9.2) I cannot open Outlook (Office for MAC 2011).  Outlook flashes briefly but does not open.  How can I get Outlook to open?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

  • I have purchased a new Mac power book 10.9.2.  I cannot open illustrator CS4 and get the error message 150:30.  Can you help?

    I have purchased a new Mac power book 10.9.2.  I cannot open adobe illustrator CS4 and get the error message 150:30.  Can you help?

    You are welcome, Sharon.
    You should be aware that the newest version, CC, is only available as a subscription.
    CS6 can be purchased at Adobe, or second hand, see below.
    Older versions such as CS5 can only be bought second hand, with a licence transfer through Adobe, requiring that the licence has not been used as a basis for an upgrade.

  • Cannot open InDesign files on Mac that were saved on PC

    I subscribe to Create Suite and have it installed on both my Mac and PC. So, they should both be the most current version, right? All updates are current.
    A few (not all) InDesign files that were created/saved on a PC will not open up on my Mac. I get this message:
    Cannot open [file name] because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CC (10.0).
    You must use that version or later to open the file. To then enable it to be opened in these version, choose Save As InDesign CS4 or later, or export to IDML.
    "Save As InDesign CS4" actually has IDML in parenthesis, so it's all one option. When I bring the file over to my mac, it doesn't open properly (for example all the images are gone).
    Could it be possible that there is a newer version of InDesign only for my PC and my Mac can't open those files? Seems ridiculous.

    You would have no problem opening a file in version 10.0 if it was saved in 10.1, just as you would have no problem opening any other version dot release file in ay dot release of that version.
    The problem here is the PC was updated to CC2014 and the Mac was not.
    The OP also mentioned missing pictures when using IDML. IDML removes the previews, but you would need the linked images in any case for output, regardless of whether  you use .indd or IDML to move the file.
