Dreamweaver CC won't launch. All other CC apps work fine.

I have been through the forum logs and have seen the notes about reinstalling Dreamweaver and installing Java. I have done both (uninstalled Dreamweaver, reinstalled/downloaded Dreamweaver CC from iCloud. I have downloaded and installed Java. Rebooted my machine. The icon bounces longer, but never gets to the splash screen.
I am running OS X 10.9.2 (Maverick) on a 2.93 GHz Intel Core i7 iMac with 16GB of ram.
Can you help??
Thanks,
Jane

I just spent over an hour on the phone with Adobe's support. It is finally resolve. It was a permissions issue. Basically, what the tech had to do was create a "root user" account, sign out of my account, sign into root user, uninstall Dreamweaver, then re-install Dreamweaver in the root user account. Since the root user account has full permissions, it worked. I definitely would not have figured that out without calling support and having a rep walk me through it. I didn't come across this solution on any forums I searched.
I also had a duplicate Macintosh HD drive apparently in the root user account that caused some confusion with install, so he had to pull that out onto the desktop also to avoid confusion with the install, but my guess is that wont be an issue for others.
If you can't solve it on your own, try calling the same # I called: 800-833-6687 Mon-Fri 5am-7pm PST.
Hope you get it resolved.

    Susan,
    Weeding out in older plugins seems to have helped some in some cases.
    It also seems that JAVA Runtime may be involved.

  • TS4050 iCloud on Safari will not open Reminders -- I've tried using other browsers, and all other iCloud apps are fine. Any ideas?

    -- I've tried using other browsers, but no luck
    All other iCloud apps are fine via Safari (mail, calendar, etc.). Any ideas?
    I've tried clearing cache, logging in and out, switching off iMac.
    I'm using latest OS X and Safari versions.
    The problem seems to have crept to my iOS devices, which now register non-sync'd versions of my reminders lists, and which will not update via iClou

    Gawd, how have you managed not to update it?! The current version is Version 3.1.2 (4525.22)!
    Small wonder it won't work with 10.4.11.
    Have you ever used Software Updater to check whether there are any updates available for your Mac?
    I would recommend that you download the latest version from here:
    http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
    But please make sure that you download the version for Tiger and not for Leopard.
    BUT before you do so, and before you install it, please go through the following routine:
    Repairing permissions is an important part of regular maintenance, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
    Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
    In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
    This only takes a minute or two.
    Background information here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751
    and here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
    If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
    Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

    If all is OK, install the new Safari, and REBOOT, then repair permissions again.

  • Dreamweaver fails to launch, but other CC apps run fine

    I've been subscribed to Creative Cloud for over a year. I'm running 10.9.2 on a MacBook Pro. Just today I tried to launch DW and its icon bounced a handful of times and then disappeared. I uninstalled DW and then re-installed it, but got the same result. Other CC apps run fine (Muse, InDesign, PhotoShop, Audition), so I'm not sure what to try next.
    I don't "live" in these apps everyday and may launch soem of them once or twice a month. It's possible I've not launched DW since upgrading to Mavericks two months ago. Does DW have trouble running in 10.9?
    I am signed in through the CC Application Manager and everything with my account seems to be fine. Any ideas about what to try next?
    Thanks for any advice!

    It was difficult to find specific information about this, especially as it would seem to be a widespread Mavericks problem. I posted here because I initially thought the problem might have to do with Creative Cloud's authentication process.
    It turns out that Dreamweaver CC has some Java SE 6 runtime dependencies, but Mavericks comes with Java 7. I'm not sure why this hasn't been remedied by Adobe by now. Apparently some Mavericks users had been prompted by DW upon launch to install Java 6—which could explain why the problem hasn't shown up more on the forums as it was quickly remedied—but my copy never got that far. I did have some trouble tracking down where to download Java 6 for Mac, as it's not on Oracle's site, but found it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    After uninstalling DW (again!) and installing Java 6, I re-installed DW and it opened.
    The other suggestions about given had to do with older CS6 apps not working and weren't helpful to my specific problem.
    I'm posting this in case any other user has experienced the same problem in the same way.

  • Message app not loading but every other bridge app works fine

    i have a Torch 9800 (up to date) and a Playbook (up to date). All my bridge apps work except for messages, which is probably the most important app. When i launch the messages app it just showing the loading circle hour glass thing and never actually displays my messages. New emails come in and i can open them but none of my previous emails appear and the loading circle hour glass thing keeps going. I've tried reinstalling bridge and i've tried pairing the device again over bluetooth, any other ideas? I know i could just factory reset the playbook but i'll loose all my data.

    Hello rudeboouy,
    I have a few questions:
    What version of the BlackBerry Bridge do you have installed? (BlackBerry Bridge 1.0.0.83)
    How long have you allowed it to hour glass?
    Does an error message display? 
    Thank you.

  • 1 DV Movie Won't Play - - All other DV Movies Play Fine

    Okay, so my DV Movie files play video and audio in iMovie 9 - - except one of them which does NOT play the audio track.
    All of the DV Movies play video and audio in Quicktime so I know the audio is there, but iMovie doesn't play / recognize the audio track.
    What else can I do to make this audio track play in iMovie?

    John:
    You can get that using Stories. Check this Stories Tutorial (from www.kenstone.net).
    You'll get your Chapters and Play All buttons working fine.

    No bad form to worry about, just the reduced attention to your problem that a solved designation causes.
    If I remove my gmail account, I'll be able to get all the emails back when I create my new one - because it's imap?
    Yes, but check 2 things,
    1. That it is setup as Imap (POP is possible but is not the default) and 2 that you have not created any local folders that house mail from the Imap account, if you did then you must export them before removing the account.
    What do you mean by verify both passwords? You mean imap and smtp?
    I assume I should be using the application specific password in my mail settings?
    Thanks,
    Bob
    Imap and SMTP should be the same, but check.

  • TS1398 My iphone 4s does not show any of the Wi-Fi networks.  All other devices are working fine on Wi-Fi.  help?

    Worked fine last night, trying to update to IOS6 and Wi-Fi decides not to work anymore, I mean, there are no list of networks to even try to connect to a Wi-Fi.  Tried the reset network, power on power off, the whole nine.  Any other ideas???

    Give this a whirl and see if this helps.
    Forget the network on the device and turn wifi off.
    Turn bluetooth off. (Not sure why, but seemed to help with others)
    Turn on airplane mode and then off again.
    Reconnect to you network and open up a browser to confirm connection.

  • Imac crashes when i try to start itunes...all other programs are working fine....help !!!

    imac crashes when i try to start itunes.... have updated everything...still crashes...please help...

    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    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
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the BOOT_TIME log message that corresponds to the last boot time when you had the problem. Now clear the search box to reveal all messages. Select the ones logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
    If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    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 rarely helpful.

  • Indesign CS5 will not fully open. All other CS5 Applications work fine.

    I bought the student CS5 a few months ago, and havent needed indesign until recently. But when I got to open I select document (have tried other options with same result) file opens and I automatically get the spinning wheel of death. This never ends, and has continued for over an hour. So, I cant use Indesign at all.
    Is there something I can do? I am completely updated and do so regularly.
    A un/reinstal of Indesign?
