Dreamweaver 8 on Leopard

I have Dreamweaver 8 and I wish to buy a new mac book and wonder if it will effectvely work on an intel system.

Thanks. I'm somewhat optimistic now. I'll look into whether or not I'll go
with Snow Leopard. Maybe I will just have pony-up and get Logic 9.

Dreamweaver crashes in Leopard and Snow Leopard

Hey guys, so this issue has been going on for about two weeks now. I am trying to get Dreamweaver running on my computer to start my own site.
I went to adobe.com to try the Photoshop and Dreamweaver trial and installed it to my iMac (3.06GHz, 2GB RAM, OSX10.5.8). The photoshop trial works perfectly and have been using it for about two weeks now. However, every time I try to launch Dreamweaver it bounces in the dock, then the rectangular Dreamweaver Splash comes up, hangs then crashes. Normally the splash rectangle has like initializing... but nothing. Just the blank splash and a crash. I have reinstalled atleast 6 times in one day with no luck (Photoshop is still running great).
I've looked here for help so far:

Yesterday I got my new MacBook Pro (13" 2.26 - Fresh install of Snow Leopard). I redownloaded the trial from adobe and installed. Same crash.
This is the crash report:

I just installed the 10.6.2 update and can report that Dreamweaver hasn't crashed all day. Quite a change since 10.6.1 where it would crash every 5 minutes.

Dreamweaver local site root no longer recognized after Leopard installation

Hi, After installing Leopard, my Dreamweaver CS3 local site root is no longer available, although files and folders still exist in it. Any suggestions? Thanks!

You can reconnect the local root folder to the site from within Dreamweaver.

Will Dreamweaver CS4 work properly with 10.6.1 Snow Leopard?

Hello
Can anyone tell me please, if Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 work properly with my MacBook OS 10.6.1 Snow Leopard? Adobe state "Mac OS X v10.4.11–10.5.4" in the system requirements, but does this mean, in practise, that Dreamweaver will not work properly with Snow Leopard?
I have tried to find info about this here, but have spend ages wading through masses of complaints about various applications crashing for people after they upgraded to 10.6.1 Snow Leopard. Personally, touch wood, I've had no problems with Snow Leopard, but I only really use it for Internet surfing and word processing (my work, music stuff on Logic Pro 8, is done on my Mac Pro which came with Leopard and which I am NOT upgrading - not yet!).
I have also attempted to get an answer from Adobe - I 'phoned their "Pre-sales enquiries" number 0800 028 0148 (in the UK) and spoke to someone who sounded as if she was on the moon and who clearly had absolutely no idea what I was talking about. I gave up with them! They didn't give an email address to ask on.
I'd be very grateful if anyone can give a clear, authoritative answer please - if possible.

I've been a Mac user since 1987 and have never upgraded the OS too soon after a new version was launched. Any new OS, like new houses, will have a 'snagging list' - unforeseen problems that arise and need to be sorted before your purchase is truly habitable and functions as expected.
But the stability of OS X 10.5 paved the way for my lapse of judgement when I upgraded to Snow Panther last week, while its compatibility with some major software is still clearly too buggy.
I've been using Dreamweaver (DW) CS4 successfully on OS X 10.5 for some time. Since installing OS X 10.6.1 I now have problems with DW, which I've alerted Adobe to.
When using Design View in DW CS4, any formatted text - from html tags to css tags - disappears from the Design view. The code appears correctly in the Code window and even if you highlight text that has coding attached in Code view - eg text with a url link attached - the Design view continues to ignore it and removes the text from its view. I've discovered that my heading tags (h1, h2, etc) all make the text disappear in Design view in a way that would be the envy of members of the Magic Circle! The only thing that seems to get through is text that is surrounded by paragraph tags.
Thing is that 'Preview in Browser' shows the page correctly (except in Opera, which I've only installed since installing Snow Leopard, so I can't say how this displayed in the previous OS versions).
Also when I upload the site to the server it all seems to display more or less as it should.
So currently it seems that DW CS4's Design view is no longer WYSIWYG! Expect to find lots of text hidden in Design view and have to use Code view much more.
It would be nice to think that Apple and Adobe would talk to each other and work it out between them.
re: Dreamweaver, I'd check back to Adobe.com regularly to see when they upgrade the OS requirements to 10.6.1 (I hadn't spotted before I bought Snow Leopard that they only go up to 10.5 in their OS recommendations).
My advice if you're thinking of upgrading to Snow Panther: delay it until it more of it works compatibly with your major applications. Check the OS spec from each software manufacturer first. Meanwhile I'll just have to wait patiently for Apple & Adobe to get their act together...

Dreamweaver CS4 Crashes on Startup [ OSX Snow Leopard]

I would greatly appreciate any feedback regarding the problem I am finding below.
For some strange reason all of a sudden Dreamweaver crashes everytime I open the application. I have recently upgraded to OSX Snow Leopard but have been using Dreamweaver without any problems since upgrading. I have tried uninstalling the full Adobe CS4 suite and have reinstalled from scratch but this hasn't made any difference. I have also removed the preference files, to no avail. I am not sure if this is a Apple problem or a Adobe application problem. All the other CS4 applications open without a problem.
The error I receive is as follows:

I'm not a Mac user so don't have first hand experience - but there's a rather lengthy thread relating to issues with SL that may be of some help:

If not, then the only suggestion I can offer is to contact Adobe Support.

Leopard/Dreamweaver/Flash Problems

Although Dreamweaver and Flash will both start, i cant get them to display any of my files or any new files- is this another Leopard/CS3 compatibility problem? Anybody have a solution? I can run Photoshop CS3 no problem.

Hi Murphy101;
I have Dreamweaver and Flash on my Macs and have no problems with opening my files in Leopard. Have you repaired permissions?

Adobe products (Dreamweaver CS 3 and CS4) and FTP failures in Snow Leopard

Hi all, this is a bit of a cross post, sorry, but I wanted to be a bit more precise about the nature of a problem many folks are voicing. That is, Dreamweaver and Adobe products are trouble it seems, particularly around the FTP function (there are other issues too). Yet it does not affect machines universally.
For instance, initially after the Snow Leopard update CS3 (Dreamwearver) worked fine, the for me poof the FTP client in Dreamweaver failed with the ubiquitous Permissions error.
On line forums suggest:
1) recreating all Dreamweaver accounts with ==> various reports of success.
2) Using a direct IP address to the server in question....==> also mixed results.
3) Reinstall CSx--==> not a fix.
So for those of us tearing hair out over the problem, Adobe itself has been no help, anyone find a patch or have an untried idea?
thanks.

See if this helps:

Dreamweaver 8 & Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard)

I upgraded from mac OS 10.4 to 10.5 Leopard and encountered
various troubles on the sites created with Dreamweaver 8 (version
8.0.2).
1/ for all sites, I got the following message : "The local
root file does not exist. Please select a new local root file by
clicking the Manage Sites button".
I reselected the root folder, and it refused to acknowledge
it, but the software finally rebuilt the root file.
2/ When opening the index.html file of any of the sites, I
always get the same error message : ids_err_unable to create vm,
which I imagine means java script virtual machine (?).
All flash text elements on the page are unreadable, and
cannot be edited : when I try to edit them, I get an "unknown
error" message
3/ The PC's processor seems to have a hard time with the
software anyhow, and it generally quits unexpectedly after 10
minutes.
Any idea where this comes from and how to fix it ? I
downloaded and instaled the latest version of flash player, with no
change.

There is no javascript VM. JAVA requires a VM, but
Dreamweaver doesn't make
it.
It likely refers to Virtual Memory (dependant on your hard
drive...is your
Hard Drive close to being full?)

Dreamweaver CS4 Crashing under Snow Leopard

I am having issues with Dreamweaver CS4 and Snow Leopard. Dreamweaver application opens fine, however, when I try to make edits to code on an HTML page, the program crashes.
Background info:
A Clean install of Snow Leopard was made on a new hard drive on my Intel Mac G5. (OS 10.5.7 Leopard is still loaded on another hard drive).
Adobe Creative Suite was then installed on the Snow Leopard drive.
Any feedback to try and work around this issue will be greatly appreciated.

I spent the whole holiday weekend troubleshooting this on my MBP. Dreamweaver would crash mostly in system dialogues but sometimes randomly.
What didn't work initially:
1. Clean install of SL but when it finished, I migrated my old user account minus apps.
2. Installed my usual apps and immediately had crashing at system dialogues with Dreamweaver CS4 and a few others.
3. Hit all troubleshooting blogs and forums including adobe and apple. Tried all the cache flushing, preferences rebuilding, plist deleting til the cows came home. Nothing was working.
Luckily I had carbon copy cloned my leopard install to a firewire 800 drive for a back up so I always had a way back but figured I would try it again.
So here's what did work for me:
1. Wiped my drive, installed SL cleanly, and upon completion I did NOT migrate ANY user settings from other computers or previous systems.
2. Installed CS4 first thing and tested. It worked straight away so I did a time machine backup and started adding other apps and bringing folders over by hand all while doing intermittent testing and time machine backups in case I hit some snag that started things crashing again.
3. I had iSynced my mail, address, calendar, bookmarks etc so that helped ease the pain of not migrating somewhat.... so I resynced everything back as a last step.
4. And Voila. Been enjoying rock solid performance for several days since... and zero crashing... even under intense use.
A little manual? Yes. Should it have been necessary to go to this length? Probably not.
But I will say my MBP is snappier than ever and everything is running tip top. So if you have the time, I still recommend doing it. Plus doing it a little manually helped cull my drive of a lot of crap I don't use or need anymore.
If you want pure automation and no maintenance maybe wait for an update.

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.

Dreamweaver 8 install on Mac OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard

Hi all,
I have just done a fresh install of Mac OSx Snow Leopard (10.6) and am trying to install our copy of Dreamweaver 8 onto it. However I have now run into a few problems. Firstly it came up with an error message stating that some old format is no longer supported or something. I cant get the error message back up now, as now the CD will not mount within OSx!
Can anyone assist with this? Thanks.

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again 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
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (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), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

Dreamweaver MX versus Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard

Hello, I am new in this forum and would appreciate any help I can get..
I recently bought a new iMac Intel computer with Snow Leopard 10.6 installed. When I try to connect to the remote site, the program crashes every time.
I have since been told, that this version (more than 10 years old) cannot be updated, will not be compatible with Snow Leopard.
If this is correct, I can save myself many hours of trying (I am not an expert) and can start saving up some money.
Any advise is very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards, Monique

If you didn't want to wait for Adobe you can see your options here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/upgrade/
If you have PS CS4-CS, then you can upgrade to Design Premium for $1,399 or Web Premium for $1,299. Basically they are the same suite with one difference.
Both include, Dreamweaver, Acrobat Pro, Illustrator, Fireworks, Flash, Media Encoder, Device Central.
The Design Premium includes InDesign (which is a great program for print layout imo).
The Web Premium includes Contribute and Soundbooth.
I chose the Design version this year after using the Web last year because InDesign to me is a better value because I never used Contribute and since I have a Mac, Soundbooth serves a duplicate purpose to GarageBand.

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:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405970.html

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.

Dreamweaver and font activation error messages on Leopard

Since I've been using Dreamweaver CS4 on my iMac (Leopard 10.5.6)
I get font error messages all the times (I mean every 20 seconds!)
Mainly about Helvetica, but also Myriad.
Does Dreamweaver activate its own fonts or manages fonts in any way?
I stop getting font activation warnings when I don't use Dreamweaver (when it's off).
Did anyone ever heard of such a problem?
Thanks
