Dreamweaver CS4 not responding well on Mac

I just upgraded to CS4 yesterday. It seems every other thing I do in Dreamweaver, it doesn't respond to my click, then turns to the colorful spinning disc for a minimum of 10 seconds. This is for nearly every click action... it is very annoying and inefficient. I deleted the configuration files but that didn't work. This same problem happened periodically in CS3 as well, but appears much worse now. Any ideas? I'm on a Mac Pro, OS 10.5.7 with 4 GB of RAM.

Thanks Jon very much for your suggestion.
I work on a Macintosh iMac with a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running on 2GB 667 MHz memory. I am running no extensions on Dreamweaver.!
I usually pull down any files from my clients' servers then work on the files locally. Once I am happy that the files have been altered appropriately I then send them back up to the server.
Up till now the files have worked relatively well although they can take a little while to load. I notice that if I view the files in code only there is no problem but since I am fundamentally a designer I like to see what it is I am doing and tend to avoid working with the files in code.
I have done exactly what you have suggested although I have done that before thinking it would 'clear out' the system. Sadly, despite my meticulous attention to removing all the files associated with Dreamweaver the problem still persists.
There are some points to note in all this. While trying to pin down the problem I have noticed that it is the larger file sizes that jam Dreamweaver BUT it is a relative problem. Big files on one of the clients sites are small files on other client sites - one minute it will not open a 50k file for one client the next it will be a 372k file on another site that stalls!
It is interesting just how many people there are out there having the same issues that I appear to be having.
Thanks for all your help
If I come up with a solution I'll let you know.

Dreamweaver cs4 not responding

Hi,
I have just installed CS4 on my work computer which has a Windows OS.
I am finding that when I open files in Dreamwever from the local site, i get a "not responding" message from the task manager and the files take 1-2 mins to open.
Even moving between open *.xhtml files takes 1-2 mins!
I have followed advice on some adobe support pages and upped the page file size, performed a disk cleanup, recreated the Configuration folder in my profile version of Dreamweaver CS4, installed all the latest updates - with no luck
The local version of the site is quite large with over 350 files.
In the Dreamweaver site conifig have also attempted turning of the site cache and removing the remote server setup. (also turned off the check in/out feature)
This did not help either.
The local version of this site is on a network server which is accessed via a mapped drive on my pc - this requires a username and password when i first connect to it, but after the initial connection it does not prompt me again.
I have another local site with files stored on my C: drive which i have no problem opening whatsoever.
Can anyone pleeeeeease help!
This is preventing me from working in Dreamweaver at all....
The next alternative for me is to copy the local site files to my pc for working on - which is really not a good idea as it is not backed up.
any advice would be appreciated!

Dreamweaver cs6 not responding on a mac

I tried opening dreamweaver cs6 and it never got passed the welcome window. I updated with the latest updates, no change. I reinstalled DW and the same story. My OS is 10.7.5 mountain lion on a quadcore mac pro. Has anyone else have this issue?

When you reinstalled, did you run the cleaner tool?

If not, I would reinstall again and use the cleaner. DW can leave behind files on an uninstall that can affect a new installation. The cleaner gets rid of everything.

Dreamweaver CS4 not working under MacOS 10.9

on starting DW CS4 it asks for Java Runtime engine 6, but Mavericks has Java v.7 installed. Since Java 6 was part of the OS of previous systems, I cannot install it seperately, besides it would probably cause conflicts with OS 10.9. Do I have to trash my DW, or is there a workaround.
Thanx

If I follow click the instal button on
I get the progress bar for about 1 sec and then the message about a supposed
network problem
which is unreal, since my network works perfectly for any other task and I
had even tried disabling the firewall and little snitch. Things are still
not working

HELP DREAMWEAVER CS4 NOT SHOWING SWF FILES

I have a presentation in 2 days in Tokyo. And I'm panicking.
I'm on am Intel Mac OS X 10.4.11.
I have the latest version of Flash Player 10 installed. (Not the brand new beta version).
I created a great website in Dreamweaver MX a few years ago.
I never had ANY issues with .swf files displaying until using Dreamweaver CS4.
I updated my photography portfolios in Adobe Bridge, and used Dreamweaver CS4 to link the updates.
NOTHING MORE THAN THAT!
Then, NONE of the .swf files that were always viewable are showing.
There is absolutely NO Flash content showing on any page of the site now.
Not even in browser view in Safari, or Firefox.
I uploaded the files along with the newly created SCRIPTS folder to my server, and still no .swf files are viewable.
These are NOT FLV files they are .swf files that were imbedded properly, and were always viewable. Until now.
I have to go to Tokyo in two days and give a presentation of this site.
What is the problem?
The attached files show the view in Dreamweaver CS4. The view in Safari, and the view in Firefox.
I'm screwed for a desperately needed job in Tokyo if I can't get this fixed ASAP.
Please help.

i think you are on to something here. but i am not sure how to go about fixing this.
are you saying the "../s
should be replaced with "S
where is this code located? in the source code of each page that has the swf files? i should replace it with the correct version you copy and pasted? and that should resolve the problem?
big thanks if this is the issue.
<script src="../scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
The correct link to that file would be this -
<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Note the "S" in place of the "s". *nix servers are case sensitive.

Dreamweaver CS6 not responding (freezing)

I am running Windows Vista and performed the most recent update of Dreamweaver CS6 (I am using Creative Cloud) and my Dreamweaver program continues to not respond if I need to go out to another program and then back into Dreamweaver. It was not responding before the update, as well. I am using a Typekit script on all of my pages and this freezing/not responding thing just started happening, though it had worked just a few weeks ago. I have done the following:
disabled Javascript
disabled all extensions
turned off "Display External Files"
Currently defragmenting my computer
Performed a disk cleanup
My site is not linked to any outside site. This issue is making my development double in the amount of time and I really need this fixed. Any other suggestions would be great.
Thanks, Amber

and was told that my operating system, Windows Vista cannot run the new Creative Cloud CS6 products
That's complete rubbish. I'm using Vista with Creative Cloud and have no problems. Vista is essentially Win7.
There are a couple of 64 bit products I can't use on my 32 bit operating system but the rest work fine.
I suggest you delete your cache and/or personal configuration folder.

Dreamweaver CS3 "Not Responding" every 15 seconds or so

As with this post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3649355#3649355
I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 on Windows Vista, though on searching Google the problem seems to be occuring occasionally on CS4 and CS5 too. Working in code, all activity stops and (Not Responding) appears in the title bar. Nothing can be done for about 10 seconds, when suddenly everything works again. I've tried closing Dreamweaver and deleting the WinFileCache-AD76BB20.dat file and restarting. All works fine for a few minutes then the problem returns.
I'm currently adding twitter/facebook/google plus buttons to my pages, each of these requires its own script.
Can anyone suggest any possible solutions to this problem?

Any chance of anyone having a guess at what I might explore to resolve this issue? At the moment Dreamweaver operates similar to junk - i.e. useless to the nth degree.
ever hopeful,
Kevin

No Fix for Dreamweaver CS4 not loading?

I am seeing more and more recently that people are experiencing the crashing DW effect. Does anyone have a fix for this, or are we stuck until adobe finally corrects the issue? I have read tons of posts on here and other forums, but nothing seems to fix the problem. All I know, my DW worked fine for a very long time, and all of a sudden it no longer loads. When trying to start the program I get an immediate crash (doesn't let the program even get to the splash screen). Now this happens all the time, and I have tried every fix I have read about so far. I even formatted and started all over from scratch. I only installed adobe products after the format, and let the updater do its thing. Once I did this, DW started crashing all over again. This is definately a problem that needs to be corrected ASAP. I see a current download for CS5 to fix the crashing with that program, but nothing even remote to fixing CS4. Has anyone experience these problems after an adobe update?

Yes, I think it is the installer doing something as well. Here is what I did.... I have been using the download link from my account on adobe to install dreamweaver cs4. After numerous times of not working I tried install the new cs 5.5 and it works like a charm. After this I tried installing my old dw 8 and it also works like a charm. So, after 2 versions installed that work, I have come to the conclusion that the cs4 download from adobe has to be the problem. Once I figured this, I called support. Let me tell you, this was the most terrible experience ever. 3 and a half hours of numerous people connecting to me and transfering me back and forth to get no end result. I called again today (1 and a half more hours), another rep connects and does everything the others did to no solution once again. I say look 3 people, 2 supervisors and nothing is fixed, can you just give me another version (cs3, cs5, cs5.5, ANYTHING) so I can get back to work. Basically I am told they are going to escalate and I now have to wait for another call back and go through all the same steps as before. Adobe is seriously lacking in customer support or appreciation for buying these expensive products.
To break it down, 3 people connected...uninstalled, installed, deleted a ton of stuff, reinstalled, created a new user account disabled all start up services and installed dreamweaver and still isnt fixed. They have tried everything, and they cant fix it.... 2 of them even said the installer seems to not be doing something correctly, and the other tried to feed me a line of bull saying dreamweaver cs4 wasnt supporting vista 64??? I had to laugh and explain that I am running fw cs4 and acrobat pro 8 and flash and other progs that work just fine on vista 64 lol.

Dreamweaver CS6 "Not Responding" with TypeKit on Windows 8

My Dreamweaver CS6 (Cloud Install) on Windows 8 freezes up when i type code in "code view" to "Not Responding". It seems that it is the two lines from TypeKit that cause the problem (<script type="text/javascript" src="//use.typekit.net/xxx.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript">try{Typekit.load();}catch(e){}</script>). When I remove them it works fine. I run this against WAMP localhost install. Every time I write a DIV or another closed tag, Dreamweaver goes into "Not Responding" for 10-20 seconds. I have tried to turn of View > Live View Options > Disable Javascript but it doesn't work. I also tried to uninstall Dreamweaver and a reinstall but the same problem. Anyone knows any solutions? Thanks.

My guess is DW is trying to connect to external scripts on TypeKit's server. TypeKit is probably looking for a web browser, but since DW isn't a browser, it's hanging up. Go to View > untick Display External Files.

CS4 Not Responding on new PC

I recently moved my Photoshop CS4 installation from my old XP machine to a new Win 7 64-bit PC. Now, whenever I open or save a file, the program pauses for about 10 seconds and "Not Responding" appears in the title bar at the top. Eventually, this disappears and the save or open is completed, but it's very annoying when it happens with every file. Can anyone suggest a cause?
Thanks

Double check to see whether you have any drives mapped that are pointing to systems not currently online, or shortcuts (or entries in your Favorites list) with similar issues.
Are you configured to use HomeGroup networking in Windows 7? I normally turn that off because sometimes it causes more problems than the convenience it adds. Without HomeGroup networking you can still reach other computers - basically just like the older systems with Workgroup access.
I have set up and use the same (Administrator) account on all my systems on my LAN (exact same username, same password), which makes networking quite seamless.
Here's how to shut off HomeGroup networking, if you want to try:
Click Start then type sharing in the search box.
When Network and Sharing Center comes up, click it.
Click the Change advanced sharing settings link at the upper-left.
Expand Home or Work, scroll down to the HomeGroup connections section, and choose the Use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers setting. To reverse this change, choose the Allow Windows to manage homegroup connections (recommended) setting.
Reboot

Encore CS4 not responding on start-up

I was just working on a series of DVDs for a client (needed multiple DVDs for menu screens for restaurant client) I've burned these before, everything worked great and just as I'm on deadline (always happens this way Adobe and we don't get to bill for asprin fees) I'm needing to burn another copy of a Encore file that was previously made and now Encore is not responding at startup.
What's the fix???? Is there some key-stroke command that can clear the settings or some DLL file that needs to be removed to get Encore to startup again?
If I need to rebuild my project that's not a big deal, that will take 10 mins. but to deal with this hanging issue's a pain in the butt you guys!
Some more info; the hang seems to be at the 'Transcoding' loadup. That's where it just stops starting. It started fine multiple times prior this startup... so I'm thinking of a couple things that was/is different during this last starup; a) I had iTunes open, because my iPhone was on cradle... b) I had closed a previous Encore project and switched to another project file. (while iTunes was open).
This is the only difference between yesterday and today...I'm thinking there's some DLL or something within the startup string in Encore that's now corrupted. Anyone know what needs to be removed (which DLL I guess) in order to have Encore startup clean again.

Premiere cs4 Not Responding after a few mins use

Hello,
I have been using premiere cs4 to make stop motion videos for awhile on this computer and have started having problems with the software.
Everytime I try to use it after a few mins sometimes 5 sometime less it goes white and says not responding resulting in having to close the program. Im starting to get late on deadlines and this is becoming a problem. Ive resorted to doing one step saving then having to close the program and repeat the process.
My system...
i5 750 OCed to 3.5ghz
8gb 1600mhz ram
I know its not the best but untill now its done this work for me fine. I am using stills at a res of 1920x1080 at 150 dpi and there are thousands of stills but again This is a new problem and I have been doing this for awhile with no issues.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I did attempt a small batch sized as you stated but it did not help. It doesnt seem to matter what I'm working on within the program I could have no content and just click different menus and within mins the system will stop responding. That being said the final video must be in 1080p.
Here are the the items requested in the FAQ given.
i5 750 OCed to 3.5ghz also tried stock clock settings.
8gbs 1600mhz ram
2 hhd set up as follows
500gb 7400rpm hdd, program Pagefile, Media cache
1tb 7400rpm hdd, media, project file, previews
4gb virtual page file
win 7 fully updated
premiere pro fully updated
No Audio used
Ive tried various file sizes and settings to match those files all with same result.
As I state above the actual conent size, type and quantity doesnt seem to matter 3-5 mins in and it just stops responding.
Things ive tried so far.
I did extensive mem tests on my ram with no issues
reverted my over clock to stock settings
reinstall the software several times.
Also of note my ram never goes over 50% usage so Im not using all my ram.
I hope this helps i tried to include everything mentioned on the listed FAQ

PS CS4 Not Responding

I have had no trouble with PS CS4 until just today. When I launch CS4, it looks fine. Then when I click anything, I get the black bar of death on top that says "PS CS4 Extended Not Responding".
Then if I try to click anything the screen goes white and it says it stopped working.
I have the most current version
I changed my options to administrator (although it was fine before the way it was)
i reuploaded my driver for my wacom
i debugged
really the only thing between yesterday and today i did different was update my itunes...which i woulnd't think would have anything to do with PS.
I didn't reinstall yet becuase i am in transit to a new house and my disk is in storage.
any help would be greatly appreciated!
