Dreamweaver CS6 doesn't open files

Hi Forum,
I have installed DW CS6 from the cloud on my Mac. I have exported the sites from DW CS3, and then imported them in CS6.
After first time installation, none of my files would open after double-clicking on them ( I allways got the 'design-notes', even if I have switched it off in the site preferences). I could only open them by using right-click -> Open with Dreamweaver
After deleting DW6 and re-install, opening works with one site, but when switching to another site, the same anoying issue happens...
Design notes pop-up and the document doesn't open, only when using right-click -> Open with Dreamweaver.
Looks there is some kind off cache somewhere which is corrupted, but thats only a wild guess.
Please help, because for the time being I am switching back using DW CS3.
Regards Will

Hi Nancy,
its Mac OS X 10.8.2, and all associations are ok. ( Double clicking on a file in the Finder works ok ).
In the meantime I have found the problem;
After deleting the folders of the sites in Users/<name>/Library/Application Support/Dreamweaver CS6/en_US/Configuration/SiteCache, and restarting Dreamweaver, all works ok.
And again, thanks for helping !
Regards Will.

  • Dreamweaver CS6 hangs when opening file

    Starting recently Dreamweaver CS6 hangs for 30 seconds or more, sometimes saying not responding, when I open an HTML file. It appears to do this when the file contains links to external places. To test I created a file that contained nothing except the "new HTML file" basic headers, saved the file, then opened. This test file did not hang.
    I have tried the registry fix "ResolveRemoteURLToIPAddress FALSE" and deleting the personal configuration directory (with Dreamweaver closed). Neither of these solved the problem. Dreamweaver still hangs when opening a file.
    Any other ideas?
    Barry.

    Once the document opens, check the code for any protocol relative links (links that start with // rather than http://) and change them to http:// links, at least during development. It is a know issue to Adobe and will cause what you describe.
    If you don't have any protocol relative links, links to third party sites can cause issues from time to time if their servers are slow or have any kind of conflict with your network. Unless you absolutely can't, you may want to copy those external scripts to your local site and link to the local versions instead, again, during development.

  • DW CS6 doesn't open in OS 10.9.5, even after deinstallation and reinstallation (multiple time)

    DW CS6 doesn’t open in OS 10.9.5, even after deinstallation and reinstallation (multiple time).
    I tried deleting all prefs with the name Dreamweaver in the Library/preferences and in Apllication Support/adobe. Doesn’t change anything.
    Is there a conflict with something else? Is there something else I can do ?

    Hello Claude,
    in this case I would download a really new trial version of your program in question (DW) and change it into a "real" version later, BUT because you said, that you "re-installed" already, so it will become a little bit more complicated. It would be necessary that you have to use "Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool".
    Here an advice for that (The order varies depending on your individual needs. Please read all my proposals first, so you can better choose the first step:)
    1. Maybe you have to activate/deactivate, so please have a look there:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html
    2. Sometimes, we know in the meantime, the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
    3. You did you already try "uninstalling and re-installing". Be careful with (de)installing aso. by (de)installing by your own resources. As much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
    I quote: Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
    Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
    4. If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and if "open" please use the chat, I for my part had the best experiences. I quote from Adobe's employee Preran: The chat button is activated as soon as there is an agent available to help.

  • Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my address book after importing the files from my Power mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

    Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my Address Book after importing the files from my Power Mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

    For your addressbook, export the files to vCard on the PowerMac, then bring them over to your Mac Pro. For your iPhoto, copy the Users -> yourname -> Pictures folder to your Desktop on the Mac Pro, and open iPhoto on the Mac Pro holding the command and option keys.  Select the library file from that Pictures folder and open it.  It should import all the pictures into iPhoto as part of the rebuild process.  Other PowerPC to Intel migration issues are covered here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295

  • Preview: double-click doesn't open files AFTER they have been modified

    Since a few weeks (maybe since I upgraded to OS 10.6.6 ?) Preview doesn't open files any more by double-clicking AFTER I have modified and saved them. They open when I drag them to the dock icon of Preview.
    For instance, photos downloaded from a camera open by double-clicking them. However, if I rotate or crop them and then save, Preview doesn't open them any more but shows two subsequent error messages: (1) "The application can't be found", (2) "The operation can't be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -43)".
    I found one workaround: when you close and reopen the folder in which these files are, they open again by double-clicking.
    Quicklook works fine.
    Looks like a bug in OS 10.6.6. Any other fixes?

    In the Finder, select one of the image files you want to open with Preview. Choose "Get Info" from the contextual menu or the File menu. In the "Open with" section, choose Preview from the pulldown menu if it's not already selected. If it is selected, choose another application (any other), then re-select Preview. Click the "Change All" button and close the dialog.

  • Textedit doesn't open files. I think I have an old version, version 1.1. How do I update it?

    textedit doesn't open files. I think I have an old version, version 1.1. How do I update it?

    What OS are you on?
    Are you certain it is not compatible with this OS?
    Is there an error message presented?
    What type of file are you trying to open?
    TextEdit is a built in app, shipped with the OS, it can't be downloaded from the store, have you copied TextEdit from a backup or is it trying to run from a backup disk or other copy of the OS - Spotlight can sometimes find & try to run other versions. Eject any backup disks & retry.
    Try opening directly from /Applications (the Finders 'Go menu > Applications' will take you there).
    If you need to restore the App you will need to have it in a backup or use the OS installer.

  • I have dreamweaver cs6, How to open .inc file in design view?

    Hello
    I changed mmdocumetsTypes.xml file, I removed .inc from code view in the preference. But still I cant open .inc in design view. Can someone help me in this matter?

    Hi,
    and this?
    http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/change-add-recognized-file-extensions.html
    esp. "Edit in Code View preference
    The final step is to check the File Types / Editors preference settings (Edit > Preferences) and make sure that this file extension is not listed in the Open In Code View field. By default, the INC file extension appears on this list. Remove ".inc" from the Open in Code View list and files with this extension should now be viewable in Design view."

  • Dreamweaver CS6 uses old, deleted files: How can I get rid of them?

    Hi Everyone,
    this is my first posting... I have a problem that is really annoying. Using Dreamweaver CS6 on a Win-7-64bit desktop computer, I had external help for transferring a website into html5 and CSS3. When the site was nearly done, I imported the whole site and worked on it by myself using Dreamweaver CS6. This worked well, until I had external help again in the index.html file. I imported the new index.html file that was worked on externally, but dreamweaver does not allow this: It keeps showing the old index.html file that I had deleted before, even when I try to re-import the site etc. In the web, I found that it might be helpful to remove the file history using regedit. I did that, and also tried my very best to remove every remnant from the old version, aftzer that, used CCleaner and Tuneup Utilities 2014, and again, this did not help. I then thought the only way would be de-installing Dreamweaver CS6, again cleaning my whole computer for any probably remaining filed or .bak files, and then after several re-starts and cleaning processes, I re-installed Dreamweaver CS6, in the hope it would work now. However, Dreamweaver again came up with the same problem. Somewhere in the mists of the harddisk, dramweaver still must have access to long deleted files, and again does not allow me to work on the new corrected index.html file. Does anyone of you have an idea how I can get this working properly? Thanks sincerely in advance, and best regards from the Salzburg Lake District, Giraldus

    Something seriously strange is happening on your system.
    You deleted the index.html file from your machine and DW is somehow still opening it?
    Can you have both the new and old one open at the same time within Dreamweaver?
    If so, go into Source View and copy all the code from the new one. Highlight and delete the code from the old file and paste the new code in. Hit Save on the old file.
    If that doesn't fix the issue, you'll need to contact your IT guy to have the wombats cleared out of your system. DW only works with the files on your hard drive, it doesn't store them, so if you've tried to delete something and DW can still see it, it's still on your system (the deletion attempt failed). You may have some kind of permissions issue or something more serious going wrong with your OS.

  • Photoshop CS6 will not open files

    Right after rebooting my computer (Windows 7 Pro) I can open one photo file in CS6 using any normal method of opening a file in Photoshop. After closing that file I cannot open any more files using any method such as>Open Recent, File>Open, or right click open using Photoshop, by selecting the file, double-clicking to open it etc. I also cannot open a file in photoshop CS6 from Lightroom 5 using Photo>Edit In> Photoshop CS6. Everything works in Lightroom when I use Photo>Edit>open in CS6 Photoshop opens but the file doesn't.
    If I reboot my computer I can then open one file using any of those methods, but when I try to open an additional file it will not open. I have run through all the opening Photoshop without plugins suggestions and all the other suggestions about what may cause this problem which I have found on Photoshop Help and Support Center and nothing has worked.
    This started while Lightroom 4.4 and CS6 were on my machine and had been working well for months. Then, suddenly, I couldn't open anything in Photoshop. I know of no changes made to the computer. After trying various suggested solutions I reinstalled Photoshop CS6 and things seemed to be working so I went ahead with updating to Lightroom 5. The same problem popped up in CS6 again. Lightroom 5 and Lightroom 4.4 have both worked with no problems and still do. Photoshop seems to be the problem. I've also run an antivirus which found nothing.
    Any suggestions?

    Others have this same problem. See discussion at Re: Photoshop CS6 does not open or create files
    I finally got CS6 to work but have no idea what I did that caused it to start working properly again.

  • Dreamweaver & Microsoft Office cannot open files on target disk

    I've set up my Macbook in Target Disk Mode and connect it via Thunderbolt cable to my iMac. (I'm trying to use the Macbook as a storage drive so I can use the iMac's screen, keyboard & mouse but not use up the hard drive space.) I'm able to access folders and files on the target disk (Macbook) from my iMac when programs like Keynote or Pages try opening them, but for some reason when I try to open the same files using Dreamweaver, Excel, Word and PowerPoint, I get messages like:
    "PowerPoint cannot open the file /Volumes/Macintosh HD 1/Users/[file path]...The file may be corrupt, in use, not a type recognized by PowerPoint, or the file extension may not match the internal format of the file."
    Or:
    "Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example, \/)."
    Please keep in mind the files I am trying to open are .html, .doc, .docx, .pptx, .xlsx files, etc. So they should be opening easily with Dreamweaver & MS Office. Also, when I copy the files I want to open from the target disk and paste them onto my iMac, I am able to easily open them with Dreamweaver & MS Office. It's only when I try opening them directly from the target disk that I run into issues.
    One more thing adding to my confusion is that when I use a Windows VM via Citrix Receiver to access my files on the target disk, I'm able to save & edit the target disk files with no problem.
    Any idea what could be happening to cause this? Here are the specs of my machines below:
    iMac specs:
    OS X v10.9.4
    Processor: 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory: 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    MS Office 2011 v14.4.3
    Dreamweaver CS6 v12.0
    Macbook specs:
    OS X v10.9.4
    Processor: 2.8 Ghz Intel Core i7
    Memory: 16GB 1600 MHz DDR 3
    Thanks!

    I believe I've solved this problem. It looks like even though a 1 was being added to the target disk's name (Macintosh HD 1), my iMac ignored it and looked for the files I was trying to open on its own hard drive. I changed the name of my target disk to "Macbook Macintosh HD 1" and I can now open my files.

  • InDesign tries, but doesn't open files on server.

    When using a finder window to open CS3 and CS4 InDesign files from our server, I get the opening effect but not the open file.  I'm using Snow Leopard on a Mac. Double-clicking will not work, dragging the file into the application icon will not work, only the File > Open menu does the trick and opens the file. Note: double-clicking and dragging into the app icon does work for local files. Any fixes for the server file issue? Thanks!

    i have this problem too at random, i click on the indesign cs4 file in the snow leopard finder, indesign actually makes that temporary whatever it is in the finder but the layout pages don't open. my workaround is to quit indesign and start again and this usually works. but i am wondering if there is any other solution? when the file doesn't open it doesn't help to try to open it through the file menu. so i just quit and start again. (this may be a feature of indesign since sometimes at random the font sizing buttons don't work.)

  • ICal doesn't open files (my own music files) when an event's time arrives.

    Hi apple community, I have a problem. I use to remember things by creating events in iCal with a music file added, but now I can´t, I have updated my iMac to Mavericks and iCal only remembers me an event but doesn't open the songs (with iTunes). (Some times I use events with music files to wake me up jejeje). How can I solve it? Thanks.

    I'd like to comment too here. I used to wake up all the time to music played in iCal, and before 10.8, I also used Applescript iCal events (all of this on my late 2011 Macbook Pro) in place of automator workflows. Since updating, my alarms simply haven't gone off, iCal not opening iTunes the way it should. I would be eager to find a solution.

  • Dreamweaver CS3 no longer opens files

    Greetings,
    I am not sure where to post this, so I will post here - already have a question open on the Dreamweaver forums.
    I have run into an unusual problem. I can no longer open files either on my local machine or remote server without Dreamweaver CS3 freezing. I am using OS X Leopard - 10.5.2 on an Intel MacBook Pro. A week or so ago I was able to open my .asp files just fine. Now, Dreamweaver simply freezes when I try and open them - either locally or remotely. I tried deleted the preferences file and removing site information from Manage Sites with no luck. I can create and open new files, but cannot open the existing files.
    I copied the files in question to a PC and opened them just fine using Dreamweaver 8.02. I just don't know enough about the technical aspects to properly troubleshoot this problem. I already tried reinstalling also.
    By the way, I am able to access, open and edit my files from the remote server using my PC and version 8.02.
    Any ideas?

    It seems this is a known issue with Dreamweaver. I was able to access the files just fine by deselecting "display external links" in the view menu. Strange that I did not have to do this before.
    For anyone interested, here are some links about this: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=12&catid=18 9&threadid=1262486&highlight_key=y&keyword1=design%20mode and http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb401608&sliceId=1

  • Adobe Indesign & Illustrator CS6 will not open files off server after Mac Maverick update.

    I updated to Mac OS X Maverick and all the sudden my InDesign and Illustrator will not open files off of my works network.  I read somewhere about installing the new Java update may help fix it, but I tried it and it did not. I have restarted my computer and reset the connection to the server multiple times, but it does nothing.
    The exact message I get is:  "Cannot open the files "xxxx.indd" Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file may be missing, or the file may be open in another application"  I know for a fact that it is not open in another application so it is not that. I have tried multiple files on the server as well.
    For Illustrator, I try to open a file from the server and it just freezes and does not respond so I have to force quit.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help!

    If you had asked before you did this I would have told you not to move to Mavericks unless you were prepared for problems. I’m not a proponent of upgrade installations for operating systems and there’s no way to eliminate that as the cause.
    That said, before you start erasing the whole machine, try uninstalling CS6 and then reinstalling it. You might want to run the cleaner tool after the uninstallation.
