Dreamweaver CC won't launch

I've downloaded Dreamweaver CC, but it won't launch. The icon bounces and then that's it. I've uninstalled, reinstalled and I get the same result. Any ideas?

Hello,
There could be various reasons behind that.
1. Corrupt or insufficient Permissions at the Disk
To fix this Repair permissions using Disk Utility. Mac OS X Tutorial: How To Repair Disk Permissions - YouTube
2. Corrupt Preferences Folder.
Please go to ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe and Rename Dreamweaver CC to Dreamweaver CC_Old and then try to launch Dreamweaver.
Please go to ~/Library/preferences/Adobe and Rename Dreamweaver to Dreamweaver_Old and then try to launch Dreamweaver.
3. Corrupt Profile.
Create a new Admin User profile and try to launch it there.
Please try the 3 suggestions above. If it still do not fix the issue please let us know.
Regards

Dreamweaver CC won't launch - Mac OS 10.8.5 - No Crash Logs Created

Dreamweaver CC won't launch at all on my machine anymore. All the other Adobe CC applications work just fine.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled all my CC applications and done it again for good measure. I've uninstalled all my fonts and reinstalled the normal Mountain Lion fonts and the fonts installed with the Adobe CC apps.
Creative Cloud desktop is installed. It has update Dreamweaver to version 13.0.0.6391. I'm aware that there is a version 13.1 out there, but Creative Cloud tells me I'm up-to-date and I have no more requests.
When launching Dreamweaver, It bounces in my dock for a brief second, then disappears. No crash log is created. The Console app shows the following entry after a number of attempts to launch Dreamweaver:

Dreamweaver CS6 won't launch on Mavericks

Hello,
Dreamweaver CS6 won't launch on Mavericks.
I've tried reinstalling Dreamweaver. I've tried removing Java. I've read the online suggestions.
But, Dreamweaver CS6 still won't launch. Darn it.
Any ideas?
Thanks very much in advance

Dreamweaver CC won't launch in Mavericks

This is a new download and install of Dreamweaver and it simply won't launch!
I'm running OS X Mavericks (10.9)

There have been a lot of issues with 10.9, most of them are cleared up by installing Java SE 6. Here's a thread discussing some of the problems and fixes...

Dreamweaver 2014 won't launch in Mavericks... has anyone experienced this problem?

I downloaded the new 2014 version of Dreamweaver today & it won't launch in Mavericks... also dowloaded it to my PC & that works OK. Has anyone had this problem?

Hi Harald,
Looks like this is happening because of some issue during installation of the product.
Can you try the following:
1. Un-install DWCC 2014. Note: Before un-installing, I would suggest you to backup any user preferences files, extensions or site settings.
2. Log out from your Adobe ID login in creative cloud.
3. Log-in back again and then download and install the product.
I am suggesting it since the same process helped one another user. Hence seeing if you are also encountering the same issue.

Dreamweaver 2004 Won't Launch

Tried installing again and again but no luck getting
Dreamweaver 2004 to launch on my E-mac. Worked just fine prior to
installing Tiger, at least that's what it seems.
Thoughts?

Good morning ArtieTet,
I had the exact same problem and came across your post. I've since solved it on my computer. I'm not sure what your level of computer expertise is and whether or not you're comfortable editing your registry, so I've dumbed-down the following instructions a bit - forgive me if they're too dumbed-down!
1. Click Start
2. Click Run
3. Type regedit
4. Click the OK button
5. Double click the HKEY_CURRENT_USER key (folder) on the left
6. Double click the SOFTWARE key
7. Double click the MACROMEDIA key
8. Right click the DREAMWEAVER MX 2004 key
9. Click Rename
10. Type a new name for the key, such as OLD DREAMWEAVER MX 2004
11. Press Enter
12. Try to start Dreamweaver again
If all goes well, Dreamweaver should open and re-create that DREAMWEAVER MX 2004 registry key from scratch. There's likely some corrupt data in it, though I haven't been able to figure out what. If I do, I'll let you know.

Dreamweaver 8 won't launch

This is probably a simple problem, but any help would be
hugely appreciated.
I've been working successfully in the older DW 8 on a iMac
20" Dual core, but suddenly
having uplink issues to my server, and when attempting to
restart, I get a consistent
"...application has quit unexpectedly." Now, I can't even get
the app to launch! With my other Adobe apps, like Illustrator, I
would tend to go and throw out the preferences file, to get a fresh
start, and that would solve it.
Are there similar prefs or ? that should be trashed?
Reinstalling the software got no results...
Thanks for any help that could be offered!...

I am using Dreamweaver 8.0.2 on a PC. A couple days ago, my
DW 8 wouldn't start-up. When I do start it, I get the green opening
banner, but no flashing in small fonts as it loads the various
parts or functions of DW 8. Eventually I have to force close
(right-click on tab>Close on tab at the bottom of my screen) or
do a Ctrl+ALT+Delete. Sometimes if I wait, after SEVERAL minutes,
DW starts. I don't know how reliable it is though when it does
start.
I don't know what happened or changed. I saw online somewhere
that if I go in and make a copy of the 'Configuration' folder of
DW, then delete the old 'Configuation' folder, when DW restarts, it
will make a new 'Configuration' folder. I did that and it works
great, but I have to reset my palettes, which is fine.
But I also noticed that ALL my DW extensions are turned off
in 'Extension Manager'. So I go through them all and turn them all
on. Now my DW is back to hanging and not restarting. I tried just
loading a couple extensions I really need and it still starts
properly, then I turn on another one and it's back to hanging.
This is really frustrating and I really need to get some work
done. Help!!! What do I do so I can get DW 8 up and running again
with ALL my extensions like it was for many months/years???
Please get back to me ASAP. You can send e-mail response to
wildbarry[at]shaw[dot]ca. Thanx

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.

After migrating to new Mac Pro Dreamweaver won't launch, says missing menus.xml file. How do I resolve this?

After migration to a new Mac Pro Dreamweaver CS6 won't launch. It says it is missing menus.xml file. How do I resolve this?

Hi rustyg12,
Go to Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CS6/Configuration/Menus/menus.bak
You'll see a menus.xml there - it is a backup copy of the actual menus.xml file that DW uses.
Copy it from that folder, paste it 1 level above (in Menus folder).
Fire up DW. See if it works.

Dreamweaver CC 2014 won't launch

Just switched to a new Mac Pro. Per Adobe's instructions, I downloaded and installed Creative Cloud. Then from Creative Cloud I selected the Adobe apps to install. Several of the apps run just fine--no issues. However, no matter what I try, I can't get Dreamweaver CC 2014 to launch. The icon in the dock bounces a couple of times and that's it. No splash screen, no crash dialog. I checked CONSOLE and it has nothing showing for "Dreamweaver" or "Adobe" in the message. The ~Library/Logs/CrashReporter has no crash logs (user and root). I've repaired permissions (even though that has no impact on Adobe apps) and rebooted, but nothing works. I've also uninstalled and then re-downloaded and installed Dreamweaver CC 2014, but that didn't help.
What do I try now?
MacOS 10.9.4
Mac Pro 3.5 GHz 6-Core, 32 GB 1867 MHz DDR3

Hi All
I am hoping it is not rude to add my bit here but I am having exactly the same problem. I unistalled Dreamweaver and installed the 2014.....now I click on the icon it bounces twice and does not launch.
I have seen that the extension manager was used to resolve this issue by Montylee.....please can you tell me step by step how you did it as I have adobe extension now and keen to resolve this issue.
Also how do I unistall all traces of earlier versions I have that may be causing clashes?
Many thanks in advance.....
Getting desperate.... I am a relative novice so please treat me gently.....HA HA

Dreamweaver in 10.7.5 won't launch

I upgraded to 10.7.5 and now my CS3 apps won't launch.

OK, that seems to have resolved the issue. Apologies for the panic! I'm not sure what the problem was as I had already restarted and repaired permissions before the problem manifested, and DragonDrop works fine on my other computer running 10.8, and I have successfully restarted the program now on 10.7.5 without a recurrence of the issue. But if it happens again I'll update this thread.
Whew.

Yahoo Pagebuilder won't launch

Ever since I did the security update in early March I can't launch Pagebuilder anymore. It worked fine previously to that.
As best I can tell, something in the update prevents yahoo from accessing it's cookie on my mac.
It's NOT a browser issue, it's NOT a compatibility issue- all system requirements are met, it's NOT an individual user issue. It is definitely an issue with mac computers themselves, but what?
And, I'm not the only one with this pagebuilder problem, or with this app:
aol users are having trouble accessing their e-mail, too.
Something Apple did is messing things up for us mac users!!
PageBuilder works fine on pc's still, but I have a mac!
Thanks,
Julie

Dreamweaver CS4 won't start

I have the CS4 Web Premium Package installed on XP. Every appli
cation works fine except for Dreamweaver. When I try to run it, it gets to the welcome screen, then crashes. I've tried:
Removing the Configuration folder.
Removing the cache file.
Reinstalling Dreamweaver.
Disabled Firewall.
Installed new display drivers.
I have Homesite installed on this machine. I'm wondering if there are any conflicts between the two programs? Any advice would be appreciated.
Actually, Contribute won't launch either.
Thanks.
