Dreamweaver CC won't open (Mac)

Downloaded Dreamweaver CC along with several other CC programs. Only DW won't open. No error message. No warning. No nothing. The program simply won't open.
Macbook Pro (2009) running OS 10.9.2
Got the message regarding Java, installed. Followed directions to uninstall DW, fix permissions using Disc Utility. Restart. Reinstall DW. Still nothing.
Tried chat support but was given a runaround and zero help.

  • Dreamweaver MX won't open mac 10.4.8

    I just installed dreamweaver mx (education version) and the
    hotfix and dreamweaver bounces in my dock for a moment, then a
    splash screen shows up for a second then disappears and dreamweaver
    won't open. The other applications in the MX suite (flash,
    fireworks, etc) open just fine.
    If i have the hotfix and have uninstalled and reinstalled,
    are there any other ways to fix this?
    I should also mention I am using a macbook pro.

    Michael, my guess is that you've installed a third party utility to modify the OS in some way, and it's broken. We've seen, for example, people who installed utilities that were supposed to improve network operation unable to get reliable network connections as a result.
    There's a utility that can remove unnecessary components from the OS. Unless used with caution, it can kill Rosetta.
    Haxies can break after an OS update. That's not Apple's fault, and it's a reason I don't install haxies such as Shape Shifter, for example.
    Does this happen with other PPC applications that have to run under Rosetta?
    What to do: If you've installed third party utilities that modify OS functions, remove them one at a time and restart. Try Entourage after each restart.
    BTW I don't suspect smcFanControl as the culprit.

  • I've stuck with Entourage way too long. Now I don't dare install the Mavericks OS because all my Entourage files will go away. And my iMac won't open Mac Mail (probably because I've never opened it in the 5 - 6 years I've owned the Mac.) Any suggestions?

    If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
    If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
    As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.

    Hi, pmajor. Welcome to the Adobe user-to-user forums!
    I noticed that your error report indicates that you are using build 4909 of Dreamweaver CS5, which is the release version. There have been some updates since, so I would suggest that you install the latest, 11.0.4 (build 4993), and then see if the problem persists.
    You can get the latest update by going to Help > Updates in Dreamweaver, or by downloading it from the following page and then installing it: http://adobe.ly/DWUpdates

  • Dreamweaver CC Won't Open Files

    I'm a DW newbie, and I just installed DW CC after getting a CC subscription. Upon opening up DW, I discovered that it won't open any locally saved HTML files; the interface will flash for a millisecond, as if the file is about to open, but then...nothing. This happens whether I use the File...Open command, double click a file in the Finder (with DW defined as the default program for opening HTML files), or define a site in DW and double click a file in the Files panel. I've uninstalled (including Preferences) and reinstalled the program a couple of times, but it still doesn't work, and I have the necessary specs that are defined for DW's System Requirements (including the latest version of Java installed). I've noticed some users have had the same or similar problems with earlier versions of the program, but couldn't find a definitive "fix" anywhere. I'm running DW CC 13.2 on Mac OS 10.7.5
    HELP!!

    Hi Nancy,
    Thank you for your time and patience following this issue up with me.
    I won't try to create a new Mac User Account though.
    The following answer is not to you, rather to the team @ Adobe.
    I have nothing "bizarre" or "unusual", all other Creative Cloud software works just fine. Adobe is the one who should be taking the time to sort this out, not me.
    It really amazes me that I have a paid subscription and "all of a sudden" I am working with multiple scenarios, deleting or renaming files when all I want is to receive the product/service that Adobe agreed to charge and offer
    to me.
    I already moved to Coda, not using Dreamweaver anymore. I don't have time to debug other people's software.
    Thank you

  • CS6 Dreamweaver software won't open, how do I solve this problem?

    I have CS6 (not cloud) installed on my computer, I use Photoshop and Illustrator regularly with no problems.  I recently got a freelance job that requires me to use Dreamweaver.  I've used it in the past but it's been some time since I've opened the program.  Recently I've tried to launch CS6 Dreamweaver and the Application won't open, but my Illustrator and Photoshop programs open just fine.  I tried to update my software through the Adobe Application Manager but its claiming that the update has failed and cannot be applied.  Is there a reason my applications are not working properly?

    If you have turned on your hidden folders (which is necessary in both PC and Mac to see the folders at the correct locations) and they don't exist, a full reinstall is going to be the only thing that will get you going most likely.

  • Premiere Pro CS5.5 Won't Open - Mac

    At first I had problems with AE not opening (hanging at "Initializing Media Core") and the dynamic link to some of the composiitons in my PP project, so I called support. I spent an hour and a half with a lady controlling my computer, and my AE problem seemed to disappear. We hung up, and then I opened my PP project again, and the dynamic link 'started' to work, but then PP randomly shut down. And now I have a PP problem...
    I tried reopening and it loaded the project, glitched a little bit on the screen, then it said "Sorry a serious error has occured that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project." Now I get it EVERY time I open a project.
    So I called support again, and after spending 3 hours with a guy, he told me I had to create a new user account and migrate all of my information there, but he said he could offer me no assistance in this area. I must find out for myself. So I followed the instructions here.
    "pick a short user name for your new account. then run the following terminal commands
    sudo mkdir /users/newshortname
    sudo ditto ~ /users/newshortname
    You'll have to enter your admin password (which you won't see) after the first command. that's normal. This will copy your current home directory to /users/newshortname. Then go to system preferences->accounts and create a new account with the short name newshortname. You'll get a popup saying that a home directory by that name already exists and asking if you want to use it. say yes."
    As I figured (after waiting a day for all of my files and preferences to transfer to the new account) I had the same problem. I've tried deactivating, re-installing, removing the media core and then putting it back (with the help of Adobe support), and nothing is working. I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    Someone, please offer some assistance. I have been out of commision from editing for three days now, and I have a bunch of deadlines coming up.
    HELP ME!

    Hi Vinay,
    1. I am using third party plug ins, and I understand that might be causing an issue, but I've also tried opening a new project with nothing in it at all, and that won't open.
    2. Premiere Pro quits after the project loading bar or after I create a new project.
    3. I used a lot of files! mov, mts, psd, ai, png, jpeg, and AE compositions through dynamic link.
    4. The project has about five sequences. They range from 1 minute to 4 minutes.
    Thanks!

  • Bridge won't open-mac

    I just reinstalled CS3 and Photoshop works fine, but bridge won't open. The icon bounces and the dock indicates it is open and force quit is necessary to clear the dock below the icon but bridge won't come up. I updated when I reinstalled, btw.
    Do I need to reinstall again?

    Hold down the Option key as you launch Bridge, then click the boxes in the dialog box that appears.
    Routine maintenance is imperative.
    I still advocate Repairing Permissions (with Apple's Disk Utility) before AND after any system update or upgrade, as well as before AND after installing any software that requires an installer that asks for your password.
    I have seen software installations go sour because the installer did not find everything as and where it should be.
    I have also seen software installations go bad because the installer did not clean up after itself properly and did not leave everything as and where it should be.
    This is just my own personal opinion and practice based on my own observations. Others may disagree and that's OK. I can only base my routines and my advice to others on my own experience and conclusion. I don't pretend to know why others believe otherwise.
    Repairing Permissions after the fact (i. e. not immediately before and after an install) seldom helps.; Try it anyway, though.
    ====
    Additionally, if your machine does not run 24/7 so that it runs the daily, weekly and monthly Cron Scripts in the middle of the night as intended by Apple, run Cocktail (shareware) as well.
    Cron Scripts are maintenance routines designed by Apple to run on a daily, weekly and monthly basis in the middle of the night.
    If you don't run them, you WILL run into trouble, sooner rather than later.
    Here's an excerpt from the Apple tech doc
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107388
    Mac OS X performs background maintenance tasks at certain times if the computer is not in sleep mode. If your computer is shut down or in sleep at the designated times, the maintenance does not occur. In that case, you may want or need to run these manually.
    Mac OS X periodically runs background tasks that, in part, remove system files that are no longer needed. This includes purging older information from log files or deleting certain temporary items. These tasks do not run if the computer is shut down or in sleep mode. If the tasks do not run, it is possible that certain log files (such as system.log) may become very large.
    Also, from:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106978
    The disk activity generated by find is a normal part of file system maintenance, used for tasks such as removing invisible temporary files that are used by the system. It is scheduled to occur early in the morning at 03:15 everyday, 04:30 on Saturdays, and 05:30 on the first day of each month.
    NOTE:
    There have been comments to the effect that Apple "fixed" this in 10.4.2 and later versions of the OS, but I have not been able to verify this to my satisfaction. The reference in the 10.4.2 release notes are far from explicit on this subject.

  • Dreamweaver CS5 won't open any files from a project

    Hi,
    I'm working on a simple website. I work on it from 2 different locations (home and work), and the files are stored on a removable USB disk. The problem is that for some reason Dreamweaver won't open any files made on the other computer. It shows the sitemap, eveything. But when I click on a file, nothing happens.
    I've tried a couple of things:
    1. recreate the site in the site manager - still the same problem
    2. remove the preference folder - still the same problem
    The only solution is that I have to copy the files to my desktop, recreate the website in the sitemanager and then it works. But only if I copy the files to my desktop, any other location on my HD (not the removable USB disk) simply doesn't work.
    Does anybody know why this happens? Or even better, does anybody have a tip of how to workaround this problem?
    thanks!

    Hello all. I installed CS5 Web Premium on a Windows 7 machine. Every CS5 application works except for Dreamweaver.

I also disabled the registry key that gives Adobe CS5 the ability to automatically search for updates. Please help.

  • My safari won't open (Mac)

    I downloaded something by accident, but moved it to my trash can. Ever since then, when I try and open Safari, the little light under the ap says its open but it isn't. When I right click the Safari in my dock, at the top it says "Application Not Responding". I tried restarting my computer, and even turning it off for hours and it still won't open. It freezez and at the top of the safari toolbar, there is the spinning rainbow wheel not allowing me to select anything from the toolbar.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
