Dreamweaver CS5 on Retina Macbook Pro - When trying to open, nothing happens

When I try to open Dreamweaver CS5 on my new Retina Macbook Pro, nothing happens. It shows the Apple and "Dreamweaver" in the status bar, but no file, window, etc. Also, the launch screen never shows. Eventually, I have to Force Quit, as nothing happens (even when leaving it run for hours)
I have tried the following 'fixes' based on other discussions that I have found with 0 success:
Created a new admin account and tried to open from that
Reinstalled
Updated
Ran the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool
Permission Fix in Disk Utility
Changing permissions on the /User/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver folder
I have also seen some recommendations that I remove/rename the Configuration folder from the en-US folder in the Dreamweaver folder mentioned above. However, I don't even have a en-US folder. Hmm?
I do not have FileVault activated currently, although I will need to eventually, as it is company policy. I am just trying to get it to run first before I turn on FV and troubleshoot that.

Presumably, the folder is empty because Dreamweaver never launches successfully. I was going to suggest reinstalling because you might have a corrupt installation, but it seems as though you have already tried that. I wonder if your installation disk or dmg is corrupt?
There is a dedicated forum for installation issues at http://forums.adobe.com/community/download_install_setup?view=discussions. It might be worth asking there. I wish I could be of more help.

Dreamweaver CS5 on Retina Macbook Pro - Won't open

I was directed here from my previous forum post here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4763592#4763592
Basically, when I install Dreamweaver CS5 on my rMBP, nothing happens. When I go to /Users/name/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS5 I have no language folders, or anything else for that matter.
I have redownloaded the dmg file multiple times, reinstalled multiple times, etc. I have tried every fix that I've found except for resetting the configuration folder in en-US, but only because that folder does not exist
Thoughts?

The screen resolution cannot be set by number (800x600 or whatever) is can only be set to 'scales'
I tried various settings, tried loading my existing install, and still had no success. Should I go to a large scale and try reinstalling it?

Encore cs6 crashes on my macbook pro when trying to use timeline

I have recently downloaded encore for my macbook pro and has been working fine apart from everytime I try to use timeline, either way I try to open it, it crashes. It also crashes when I try to preview the DVD.
Is this the software or my mac? All my other adobe apps work fine and never crash.

A glass fell on my MacBook Pro when it was open and now it won't turn on. Any suggestions?

A glass fell off a shelf onto my open MacBook Pro. It initially started making strange noises, so I tried to restart it and it froze. I then turned it off and now when I try to turn it on, the screen lights up with just a question mark and continues to make strange noises. Any suggestions on what I should do? I think it is insured so would the apple insurance cover this?

Accidents are not covered by the Apple warranty.
If the glass had water in it, you need to keep it turned off and unplugged until full water damage can be determined.
If just a heavy object, then the "questionmark folder" and funny noises suggest the image on the hard drive was injured or the drive itself injured.
I suggest getting it evaluated by Genius Bar. Too many variables currently.

Recent Pages update isn't recognized on my MacBook Pro. Tried to open a document I created and I get a message that says I need to update to newer version to open that document. How do I reload the latest update for Pages in Maverick?

After updates to Pages and several other applications I received an update to Mavericks 10.9, all of which were downloaded and uploaded to my MacBook Pro. After the uploads I created a document in Pages which I saved to my folder. Now when I try to open it I get a message that says I need the latest version of Pages to open this document. What do I need to do to reload the last update to Pages so I can open my document?

In both cases you have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Judging from sterling r's response Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
Note: Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

When I plug in my USB Thumb drive (PNY 8Gb) the MacBook Pro does not see it, nothing happens. Is there something else I need to do?

When I plug a PNY 8Gb USB thumb drive, nothing happens and the MacBook Pro can't see it. Is there something I need to do?

If you are looking for it in Desktop, it's normal that you feel like your Mac doesn't detect it. By default, OS X doesn't show external drives in Desktop, so you have to access to them from Finder. To do it, open a Finder window and choose your external drive in the Finder sidebar, under "Devices".
If you want to show the external disk in Desktop, open a Finder window, go to the Finder menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > General, and mark "External drives"

How do I reinstall Yosemite on my retina MacBook Pro when the only disk option to choose is Recovery HD and it is locked?

I was trying to install windows 8 on boot camp but it said the disk couldn't be partitioned because some of the files couldn't be moved. So I went into disk utility and selected my HD (the second option) and clicked erase but I went super quick and I believe there was an error. Now I am trying to reinstall OS X Yosemite but when I click on "Re-install" Yosemite the only two options for where I want to install it are my recovery HD (which is 650MB total) and my Wininstall bootable windows USB. I don't know if I did something serious or how to reinstall Yosemite when I can't select or do anything with the first main Macintosh HD option in Disk Utility. Please help!

Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
      the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
           because it is three times faster than wireless.

WHAT is the use of a retina display when you can't watch DVD movies? what's the purpose of a super thin retina macbook pro when you need to buy an external optical drive? doesn't it defeat the purpose already?

i don't care if my macbook is a little thicker as long as i don't need to burden myself of an external optical drive just for a simple and common task of watching/listening to discs.

I'm confused, why did you choose to buy the retina model if you don't like it? This is exactly why Apple still manufacture/sell the 'old' style MBP which is thicker and has an optical drive built-in!

I can't download any applications on my macbook pro, it starts but then nothing happens

Every time I try to download any application, for example today I am trying to download Gimp for Mac, the window goes blank and in the browser it looks like it's loading but then nothing comes up. I have tried creating a new user account but the same thing happens when I download in that one. I think it is a system issue but I am not technically minded and so struggle to figure out what is happening. I can download itunes, apps from the app store. But nothing else. Even flashplayer updates don't download. Can someone help me because it is increasingly frustrating! I am needing Gimp for Mac in order to open up software I need for a new course I am doing, which means I need it today!! Thank you to anyone if they can help.

How to install Photoshop CS3 disc on a Retina MacBook Pro?

Just bought a new Retina Macbook pro and trying to install CS3... the program from my old Macbook would not work when moved to the new one. I have the original disc but this will not work on new Macbooks without a drive.
Anyone any ideas?

Feel free to contact support, but they'll only give you the finger, metaphorically. There is no support for old versions beyond sorting out your activation. And you get what was to be expected. All Adobe apps must be properly installed. Copying the installer files to a USB stick will work just fine. If for soem reason that's not possible, download using this method:
Direct Download Links for Adobe Software
You'll still run into trouble, though. CS3 was never tested on contemporary versions of OSX nor will it deal properly with Retina displays. As a minor, you will have to enable the half-res option in your display prefs during install and possibly usage of the program...

Issues with sleep/wake with 2014 retina Macbook pro

Hello everyone,
I have lately been noticing some issues with my 2014 13" retina macbook pro when sleeping and waking. As soon as my laptop goes into sleep while I am using I move the mouse around from the track pad to wake it back up. When i do that it takes the latop around 2 mins to get the login screen up where i put in my password to log on. The screen stays blank for 2 mins and I am just sitting around waiting to log back in. Is anyone else having this issue with there 2014 retina macbook pros? Anyone know of any fixes? I have just updated my laptop to Mavericks 10.9.3 and the issue are still there.

I upgraded my early 2011 MBP to 16 gigs with Crucial. My machine would not sleep properly, because when I tried to wake it, it would wake from its hibernate image file. This is the issue I've seen here in this list.
I tried all the suggestions I saw on these groups. Nothing helped. I contacted Crucial, who suggested that if their RAM was defective, they'd replace it per their warranty process. I needed some proof it was their RAM causing the problem.
I put the original 8 gigs RAM back in the machine (2 4 gig sticks), and it behaved normally. I then put one stick of Crucial RAM in, all by itself. The machine behaved normally. I put the other stick of Crucial RAM back in, and took the first one out. The machine would not properly sleep and wake from sleep. This proved that one stick was causing the problem, and the other was not.
Defective RAM!
I then requested and received an RMA from Crucial to send the defective RAM back. They paid shipping. I got new sticks of RAM about a week later. These new sticks of RAM work properly. No sleep issues.
I'm surprised and disappointed to say that this is not the first time I've received defective RAM from Crucial. I've purchased from them for years, and had GREAT service and received high quality products. The past couple years my experience has been different.
I'm still pretty steamed about this, as I spent a great deal of time trying to diagnose the problem and fix it. I don't really have that kind of time to waste. My expectation was that their RAM was high quality, and unlikely to be at fault.
Perhaps this is just a bad batch of RAM. I get that. I can forgive them once. But this has happened twice in the past three years. I'll look elsewhere for my next memory purchase.
Keep in mind that their customer ratings are generally very high. My experience is probably isolated.

CS5 Photoshop/Bridge/Suite not working on new Retina Macbook Pro, running Mavericks 10.9.2

I recently purchased a new Retina MacBook Pro laptop running Mavericks OS X 10.9.2. I had Apple perform a data migration of all my apps and files from my older laptop onto the new one. Now when I go to open Photoshop CS5 I receive the following error message, "Could not synchronize the color settings because of a program error." Photoshop will then open but I can't do anything in the app. When I go to quit Photoshop I get this error message: "Could not save Preferences because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges. Use the 'Get Info' command in the Finder to unlock the file or change permissions on the file or enclosing folders."
I am able to open Bridge, however the app in entiretly is noticeably lo-res and pixelated looking, so clearly something is not up to speed there either.
InDesign and Illustrator are also having issues.
I have run the System Update and it does not show anything in the CS5 Suite needing to be updated.
Please advise! Thank you.

I do not get the Airplay icon on my Macbook's menu bar. I have checked the box in the Display settings to show mirroring options but still no icon. Airplay Display shows 'No device Detected'. Both AppleTV and MacBook Pro are on the same physical Network (192.168.1.0/24) and connected directly to my home ethernet switch (not wirelessly). I also made sure MacBook's Firewall is disable. Airplay feature use to work before upgrade to 10.9.2. As far as Home sharing from my AppleTV has a similar issue; it just does not find my MacBook after a while of loading and searching my music library. I am logged in to icloud on both devices (appletv and macbook). Also use to work before upgrade. Any ideas or recommendations. Thanks.

Late 2013 retina MacBook Pro constantly restarting when in sleep mode

So I just got my brand new specced out retina MacBook Pro in the mail last night. I began setting it up but didn't finish before I had to go to bed. I left it with the screen closed (and assumed it would go into sleep mode soon after), an external hard drive hooked up, and plugged into the power adapter, and went to bed. During the night, it woke me up perhaps 10 times or so by making the startup sound and spinning up the external drive. The only time a Mac makes that sound is when it starts up, so as far as I can tell, it kept crashing during the night (presumably from trying to wake to do stuff in power nap mode), starting up, going to sleep, and repeating the cycle. When I turned it on in the morning, it gave me a message saying that it restarted due to a sleep to wake failure. Is this a known issue? Is there a way to fix it? Is the laptop defective? Or is it a software issue? Should I take it into an Apple store to figure it out?

You have 14 days to return the computer w/no questions asked. Plus you have 90 days of FREE phone tech support on top of your standard 1 year warranty unless you also purchased AppleCare which gives you an additional 2 years of coverage plus FREE phone support.
Strongly suggest that you take FULL advantage of the above before it runs out. Let Apple deal w/the problems.

Retina MacBook Pro fan very loud and usb mouse disconnecting when restarting the computer

2 days ago, I got a brand new retina MacBook Pro 13 inch with the specs 2.8 GhZ i7, 8 gigs of ram and 512gb ssd. It should definitely be functioning properly since it's a really expensive computer, but I already noticed a few problems that I hope you can help me with.
So first of all, when I play World of Warcraft, the fan seems to go up to 6000rpm and is very loud. I checked the activity monitor and it says WoW is using about 60% CPU, so it shouldn't have to be that loud. I also installed smcfancontrol, but it doesn't seem to lower the speed of the fan.
I ran an apple diagnostics test and it couldn't find any problems, and I also tried resetting my smc, but the fan is still going very loud.
And the second problem I have is, that when I have my mouse usb connected to my Mac, and I restart it, it can't detect the mouse anymore. So I'd have to pull out the usb plug and put it back in everytime I turn on my computer. isn't it supposed to automatically connect to my mouse when it's already plugged in?

Matt,
Try reading this, then go to the section on Resetting the SMC for a Macbook Pro with a battery you should not remove.

Photoshop CS5.1 Won't Load Images On Screen at retina MacBook pro.

Photoshop CS5.1 Won't Load Images On Screen at retina MacBook pro. Any help? Thanks!

I'm surprised that Apple would attempt such a "hack" design... Switching graphics adapters mid-stream is no small task, and I can't imagine that they could ever make it work seamlessly.
Keep in mind that the nature of the complex GPU beast is that graphics hardware doesn't all work the same (or right) and application software has to make decisions about what to do and what not to do, and even when to invoke certain workarounds - or it would never be possible to run on multiple platforms.
Yes, that seems wrong, but it's necessary and it makes developing cutting-edge graphics applications in the real world much more expensive.
The decisions aren't re-made by an application all the time - that would slow things down terribly. Instead, often the run-time environment is characterized at application startup and the features remembered for later use. Modern applications actually even create programs (e.g., shaders or OpenCL programs) to run on specific GPU hardware, and they have to be compiled - something usually done by the application at startup.
Now imagine that someone changes the capabilities of the graphics hardware completely after the application has started - even from one vendor's implementation to another (Intel to nVidia).
Like I said, I'm surprised a reasonable system designer could ever think that swapping GPUs at run-time could be made to work. At least Apple allows you to turn it off!
Does Apple offer any "geek-level" configuration options that can force the use of a particular GPU for a given application? It seems that this could be an automated workaround that would allow a given application to see only one GPU, which is what Photoshop appears to need here.
