Dreamweaver CS5 on Lion Opens but then won't work

I'm using Dreamweaver CS5 with Lion 10.7.2 on a new iMac 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7. I've had the machine about 2 weeks and Dreamweaver worked fine. Yesterday what happened was that I can launch the program but cannot use it. Anytime I click any menu item in the program like the file menu or help menu I get a spining ball. I can't open files in Dreamwever from outside or inside it. I can't do anything at all in Dreamweaver. I wait a long time and the spinning ball doesn't stop. I didn't do anything new except add ram to the computer and the ram works fine and shows up in "about this Mac" and has caused no problems. This Dreamweaver is a part of CS5 Web Premium and whatever the problem is it has not effected Photoshop CS5. In fact I have no problems anywhere else on my computer except for Dreamweaver.
I've tried the following solutions that I saw in these and other forums and nothing works:
1) in Dreamweaver preferences changed the following:
[REMOTE DOWNLOAD]
remotedownloadcachesize=50
remotedownloadallow=TRUE
to
[REMOTE DOWNLOAD]
remotedownloadcachesize=50
remotedownloadallow=TRUE
resolveremoteurltoipaddress=FALSE
That didn't work so I changed it back.
2) repaired disk permission on my hard disk from disk utilities, then verified the hard disk and it was ok, restarted various times.
3) tried replacing preferences and app support from previous days in time machine when it work but no change.
4) deledted com.adobe.Dreamweaver.11.plist from preferences. That didn't work so put it back
5) checked and remade permisions for user at ~/library/application support/adobe/dreamweaver cs5 but the permissions were already at read & write
6) renamed ~/library/application support/adobe/dreamweaver cs5 folder and restarted Dreamweaver
7) renamed ~/library/application support/adobe/dreamweaver cs5/en_US/Configuration and restarted Dreamweaver
8) deleted ~/library/application support/adobe/dreamweaver cs5 and restarted Dreamweaver
9) uninstalled Dreamweaver using Dreamweaver's uninstall app and reinstalled it from my disk and updated it.
10) tried using Dreamweaver from a different user login and it worked, but I need it to work in THIS login. I can find no way that this user is corrupt.
I hope someone has an idea of what to do.

New info. My husband just installed the older version of Firefox, and it is also not responding. Again without ever seeing a request for a response from him.

My old computer died so I am installing my Adobe Premiere Elements 10 on my new laptop with 8 gb Ram, 1 tb storage and Windows 8.1. When I click on the icon to open it it can take up to 5-6 minutes to open and if it does, when I try to close it, it won't close. I just get programs fails to respond. Can any body help me?

What video card is your Windows 8.1 (assumed 64 bit) computer using? NVIDIA GeForce or other?
Please check the Device Manager/Display Adapters to confirm the video card/graphics card and how many cards.
Is the card driver version up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
Are you working from a User Account with Administrative Privileges? And, do you have QuickTime (latest version) installed on
the computer with Premiere Elements?
Are you using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
Please consider the above and then we can decide what next.
Thank you.

Dreamweaver CS5 will not open. It shows the splash screen and terminates with non admin login but works fine with admin login.
OS - WinXP Sp3
Things I tried.
1) Gave full rights on dreamweaver folder in program files.
2) Disabled welcome screen
3) Updated to Dreamweaver CS5 11.0.4
4) Reinstalled
5) Formated PC
But issue persists, please help.

Have you tried deleting or renaming the Dreamweaver configuration file?
See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811
This can solve many problems and create one in that any snippets that are installed are lost, but you can get them back. Instead of deleting the config file, just name it config.old. When your system is working, just copy the snippets from the .old file to the new one.

Dreamweaver CS5 will not open

I just downloaded Adobe CS5 Design Premium and installed. Every application opens without problem except Dreamweaver which will not open at all. I tried installing again and that didn't work. I even tried removing all of my preference files, old Application Support files and even Library Application Support files. Uninstalled CS4 and CS5 and installed a fresh copy of CS5.
Dreamweaver CS5 will not open. It gets to just before the splash screen and stops. It's not hanging either, I can click the dock and quit the app without a force quit. It appears that the open sequence is missing something.

The "solution" you referred me to didn't fix my problem. Did it help anyone else with Dreamweaver CS5 and FileVault?
I'm sorry about that. It appears to have sorted out the problem for Jim Bloom, but as far as I know, he's not an Adobe employee (neither am I).
I'm NOT turning off FileVault to use Dreamweaver CS5, nor am I going to use it under a different user account. I'd rather continue using Dreamweaver CS 4 with FileVault turned on...
OK, if that's the best solution for you at the moment.
I just want them to work and I paid a hefty fee for this privilege. And, asking that this "restriction" to be documented by Adobe doesn't solve the problem. Nor does providing me a link to Apple support on FileVault that states:
"Because your home folder is encrypted, some tasks that normally access your home folder may be prevented."
I know what FileVault is.
The bottom line is, if other applications can be made to work with it (even Microsoft's), and Adobe has been successful doing so in the past, they should be expected to do it now. I think Adobe just overlooked something before the program was released and expect that they will address this issue promptly.
Maybe Adobe will. I certainly hope so for everyone's benefit. But, unless you have been on Mars recently, you're probably aware of the fact that Apple isn't exactly cooperating with Adobe to get Adobe products to work on the Mac platform. It benefits neither company nor their customers.
If it's an Adobe oversight, it's inexcusable. If it's a case of Apple moving the goalposts without informing the developers of software intended to run on its OS, it's equally inexcusable.

My CS2 Illustrator goes through all the motions to open but then at the end, nothing happens. It has been working well for years, but then out of the blue it just won't open. I reinstalled it and the it still won't open. HELP! I'm under a big art deadline and this is ridiculous. Thanks.

Or you may try to Move the folder or the Other options

Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu and shut it down from there. If that doesn't work, save and close everything you can, and then use the Activity Monitor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to force quit the loginwindow process.

Hi,
Have you try to un-select the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) setting?
Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Excel Options.
Click Advanced, and then click to clear the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)
check box in the General area.
Click OK.
If the problem cannot resolve, the Run as administrator may selected.
Go to Office default install location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12.
Right-click EXCEL.EXE > Properties >
Compatibility tab.
Under Privilege Level, uncheck Run this program as an administrator
check box.
Best regards.

I forgot my password and am trying to reset my ipod, but it won't work.It says that my ipod is in recovery mode and that I must restore it. I click ok, and then click on restore and update. Then it says connecting ipod software update server and a screen pops up with ipod software update on the top and iOS 5.1. It lists a bunch of stuff this update contains and on the bottom it says next, which I click and nothing happens, it just goes back to the ipod restore page. Help, what am I doing wrong?

Update to the latest version of iTunes. Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) users may need to download iTunes 10.6.3.
Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

Hey janicem42177174,
Adobe no longer supports the installation and use of Acrobat 6 as it is a very old version which is not compatible with Windows 7.
I would suggest you to please use the latest version of Acrobat i.e. 11.0.10 which is fully compatible with your OS with its enhanced features and functions.
You might download a free 30-day trial version of Acrobat from here:
Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat XI Professional
Let me know how it goes

Seems to capture but then won't quit after ESC pressed?

We have new XRAID with Apple FC interface & running on Mac G5 and 10.3.9. We use FinalCutPro 4.5 and it all seems to capture but then won't quit after ESC pressed. The pinwheel spins and the Mac is unaccessible then after maybe 3 hours it finishes and everythings ok. Way too much time for a 15 minute capture! Aja Kona2 capture card and they have had me adjust the settings in the xraid admin but no change. Capture of a few seconds are usually finalized instantly. Any Clues?

Same problem if you don't choose capture now ?? I've always though capture now to the raid was a BIG NO NO.

Safari tries repeatedly to open a page. The page partially opens but then Safari reports that there's something wrong with page and I get an error message. This is happening at too many web sites for one site to be having issues.

I have a similar problem, Safari cannot load a complet page. It stalls e.g. ["38 of 42"]. sometimes it will complete loading after a long wait. just as often it will never complete the page,
The same thing happens in chrome and firefox but safari on my iPad works just fine.
I have the latest version of everything
I assume there is a system problem but cleaning up permissions does not help

IPhoto opens but then the spinning rainbow wheel appears and I can't do anything. I have opend iPhoto with the Option key pressed and rebuilt the library and it still happens. I want to at least access my photos and copy them to an external drive.

iPhoto opens but then the spinning rainbow wheel appears and I can't do anything. I have opend iPhoto with the Option key pressed and rebuilt the library and it still happens. I want to at least access my photos and copy them to an external drive. Anyone have ideas on how to get to them?

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

Hi jennya,
Can you uninstall your software and reinstall, and let us know? It has worked for some of our users.
Thanks,

Hold the shift key upon boot, that will disable any boot loading third party kernel extension files.
Once you get in:
1: backup your user file folders to a external storage drive
2: go around and update all your third party software everywhere, including right clicking on third party system preference panes and removing them if necessary
3: any third party software that can't be updated, consider removing.
4: Look in your Console log files for "kernal protection" type messages to get a clue what's causing your problems.
Read about Gray, White and Blue, Kernel Panics here, they are usually always caused by third party software incompatibilities, but not always.
