Dreamweaver mx 2004 will not start on Mac running OSX 10.6.2

Right after installation I go to run Dreamweaver (or any of the mx 2004 suite), the item bounces, then dissepears and does not start up. I looked in the console and found the following item... "translate: MACH_RCV_PORT_CHANGED - INVALID POINTER, RCV BUFFER NOT SWAPPED".
Now, I have found hundreds of people on the internet having the same issue, and the standard replies given, (by the way, never work!). Re-installing does not work, clearing out the preferences does not work, re-installing the OS is not an option (I have a brand new laptop with OSX 10.6.2).
I did see that Adobe had received this error question, but they have removed it from their site. It seems that they do not want to address this issue for some reason. I would like to know how to fix this error. Let's put it this way, Anyone who buys a new Mac, then installs their MX Studio 2004, it will NOT work under any circumstances. I have seen hundreds of other people with the same problem, and never get it resolved. So, do I toss dreamweaver out for good or is there a fix that Adobe will allow anyone to talk about?

Re: "Alternatively, if you don't want to do this, the only other option I am aware of to solve this problem is to buy software like Fusion or Parallels and install Leopard (10.5) as your OS and run MX 2004 within a virtual environment."
Just so this is perfectly clear..... NO CAN DO
I have VMWare and Parallels on a Brand New MacBook Pro. It came with 10.5.11 and that is absolutely the OLDEST Mac OS I can install in a virtual environment. Believe me, I tried Tiger, Panther and Jaguar to no avail.
If the Mac in question came loaded with Snow Leopard, it has a "Snow Leopard or better" firmware write on the logic board and it will not allow an older OS to be installed.... even in a virtual environment, unless there's a secret that nobody I've spoken to in support for both VM clients knows.

Dreamweaver CC (2014)- will not start up

Jun 23, 2014
11:08 PM PDT
I too have the same problem. I installed Dreamweaver 2x and removed it 2x. Still No startup. Just bounces in dock for about 1/2 sec.
Mac Pro 4,1
10.7.5
16GB RAM
I have repaired permissions, checked the logs for errors- NONE.
What else is there to do. I really need this to work.
PS CS CC 2014, Audition, and Muse all work fine.
I cleaned the app and uninstalled.
Please add this to the locked discussion going on.
My Dreamweaver CC (and 2014) will not start/open up.

11:31 PM PDT
Hi,
New development this evening but I still need the conference.
I installed it on another drive in my Mac Pro whose system is 10.8.5- It
opened fine with the welcome screen.
Then I installed it on my main startup drive where all my applications are
and did not attempt to open it.
I then went to the 10.8.5 drive and moved all information regarding DW CC
2014 to the problem drive EXCEPT the actual application.
I pulled information out of /user:/Library/Adobe App. support, Library-
Adobe App. Support, and the /user/Library prefs folder.
Some of the information was merged with existing files and some were
replaced. Including all of the information from the Application folder
(again; except the actual application)
I then repaired user system preferences (just for the heck of it). I only
moved applicable information relating to Dreamweaver not other Adobe apps.
I then started up the Dreamweaver application and it started up fine. But I
didn¹t get the usual Welcome tutorial screen and when I want to open a file
in the resulting dialog box to navigate to a file it also shows all the
invisible files on my drive. Very odd. So yes it does work but there may
be other problems since this my be a symptom or just an isolated anomaly
which does not affect the use of the application.
I tried all my other Adobe apps. perpetual and subscription and they all
work fine.
When do you want to do the remote conference?
Thank You

Pages 09 (updated) will not start up using Lion OSX

iWork Pages 09 (updated) will not start up using Lion OSX. It did work at one time but now it won't. I reinstalled iWork several times with updates but the applications say to reinstall or check the developer. I'm using an i-Mac Intel with updated downloads for all applications. Thank You in Advance for your thoughts to solving this concern.

What else have you been doing just before this problem started? Any other updates on the computer? If you need to reinstall iWork which some has when upgrading to Lion after a complete uninstall.
To uninstall correctly iWork, go to Yvans iDisk :
<http://public.me.com/koenigyvan>
Download :
For_iWork:iWork '09:uninstall iWork '09.zip
Expand the archive and run the script.
Now you can instal iwork again and do the updates.

Adobe CS4 Indesign will not start on Mac OSX 10.9

Hi everybody,
I recently ported my Adobe CS from an older Mac to a new machin under OSX 10.9. (Mavericks), i.e. i installed the suite from the originals DVDs. No errors were reported. I checked that all programs I need should be campatible. Acrobat Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator run fine. Indesign, however, does not start but signals an "Error 5". No further explanation. What could possibly be wrong?
Best regards,

Might be permissions to write the prefs. See Cant launch new inDesign CC | Adobe Community

Dreamweaver CC 2014 will not launch on Mac OS 10.10

When I try to launch Dreamweaver the icon will bounce 2 times on the dock then nothing happens. Please let me know if there is a fix for this?
MacBook Pro 15"

Hi,
Please try recreating the preferences
http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/restore-preferences-dreamweaver-cs6-cc.html
in case it doesn't help then please delete all the files at the location : /Users/<current user>/Library/Logs
Then try relaunching Adobe Dreamweaver again.
It will create these three files PDapp.log , amt3.log and oobelib.log on the location /Users/<current user>/Library/Logs
Collect these files and send to me over a private message.

My iMac will not start up after running on Yosemite since Beta 4

Hi!
I have successfully been running Yosemite since the Beta 4 on my late 2012 iMac (se spec below). But I did notice that the boot process delayed for some time after approx ⅓ of the progress line was passed.
Today it did not pass this point. I had it running overnight, but it would not start up in normal mode.
It does start in safe mode.
I have run diskrepair
I have unplugged all peripherals
I have run the Apple Diagnostics (or AHT), no problem there whatsoever.
Is there anything else I can do except reinstall Yosemite or go to an apple workshop for repair??

I have the same problem (and have posted it elsewhere) and I have already rolled the system back to Mavericks to keep working. That seems to be he only course open for now, but will leave us with an increasingly obsolete system and future problems with new/updated apps. Not only that, but my iMac has plummeted in value.
Faced with a £1000 12-month old iMac that can't be updated, I seem to have an expensive paperweight and am beginning to regret the unkind things I said about Microshaft.
A solution is still needed, and none seems to be forthcoming from Apple.

Firefox 8.0 will not start on my Macbook OSX - claims it is already open

Mac OS X - 2.4 ghz intel core 2 Duo
Firefox 8.0 will not open. Uninstalled old versions of firefox.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Captivate 30 day trial version will not start on Mac OS 10.7.5

I installed Captivate 6 on my Mac Pro OS 10.7.5 and I keep getting this message when I try to start the program.
Any advice?

Try to disable IPv6, also check for other solutions.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Error_loading_websites#IPv6
You can try to reset (power off/on) the router.
You can also try to uninstall (trash) and reinstall Firefox.
You can find the latest Firefox release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
*Firefox 18.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html

Firefox will not start, advising already running, but WIN 7 Task Mgr says nothing else running. This is big prioblem!!!

Can't get Firefox started. Instead advice given that it's already running and to close it down. BUT, Windows 7 Task manager advises that neither Firefox nor anything else is running. The only way I can remedy the problem is to restart computer, and I am getting a bit weary of this. I've had this problem before I recently updated Firefox.. I never have this problem with Explorer or AOL, both of which are and always concurrently running just fine.

This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up.

Safari 3.1.2 will not install on Mac witg OSX 10.5.5

My Safari was acting erattically. Not finding helper applicatione like Adobe reader etc...
So I uninstalled it (Dragged it to the trash and went for a new install)
When I run the installer I get a message thst says
"You cannot install Safari on this volume. This update requires Mac OS X 10.5.2 or newer."
I'm running 10.5.5
Prithie! How do I get Safari to install again?
FYI This is a Mac Server

First of all, if you're using Mac OS X as a server, do you have Mac OS X Server installed, or just the regular Mac OS X?
Secondly, it appears that you don't know what you're doing, since there was nothing wrong with Safari, but you deleted it anyway, without considering the consequences of your actions. Then you expected to download and install it again.
*You cannot do that.* What you downloaded is an updater, which means you had to have Safari 3.0.4 already installed to be able to update it. But you deleted that and so it won't work, no matter what you do. The filename clearly says it's an Update. If you want to reinstall Safari, you must do this:
1. Repair Permissions.
2. Insert your Mac OS X install disc and navigate to the Optional Installs folder and open the Optional Installs.mpkg file.
3. Check the box to install Safari and run the installer; this will install Safari 3.0.4.
4. You can then attempt to apply the Updater you downloaded for Safari, but since you already have 10.5.5 running, it will in all likelihood not work. You will need to download and reapply the 10.5.5 Combo Update to update to Safari 3.1.2.
5. Repair Permissions.
To avoid these problems in the future, don't treat your Mac like it's a PeeCee, where deleting and reinstalling something is a common fix for application issues. On a Mac, the problem is rarely the application, so don't create more work for yourself and others.

New X220 will not start up when running on battery

I just received my new Thinkpad X220 4286CTO and found that when the computer is unplugged, I cannot start the computer after hibernation or shutting down.
The battery will charge just fine, and the laptop can run on battery just fine (drained from 100% to about 82% in two hours of use). When running on battery only, the computer can wake up from sleep. However, if I hibernate or shut down and then try to turn it on when unplugged, there is no response (no lights or anything). Then, when I plug the computer back in, it will turn on immediately (without pressing any keys), which surprised me. During this whole time the battery was between 80 and 100% charge.
One other quirk I noticed is that if I turn the laptop back on very quickly (press the power button within 5 seconds of finishing hibernating or shutting down), it will come back on, but if I wait more than 5 seconds, it is completely unresponsive until I plug it back in.
Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it? I will probably just send it back for possible motherboard / battery replacement, but I was wondering if there was anything I could try to fix it and avoid this. Thanks!

I think you need to call support. Sounds like a defective battery or motherboard, as you suggested.

MSI Gaming app will not start up or run

I just installed a new MSI GTX 960 Gaming 4G and also installed the MSI gaming app. When I click on the app to open it appears in my notification window, but as soon as I mouse over the icon it disappears. The app stops running. I have uninstalled and re-installed like 12 times and restarted the computer 15 times. I'm kind of a noob when it comes to using new stuff so any help would be nice. Thanks

It's an issue with Gaming APP that is currently not fixed. Open a ticket with MSI support to add more cases for MSI to check and find the problem: >>How to contact MSI.<<

Any Ideas??

Try resetting PRAM with cmd-opt-P-R at boot.
Continue holding that combination until the system beeps several times.
there is also an open firware method of doing that, but I can't recall the coorect sequence...
If that doesn't work, try holding down the OPT key at power on. Continue holding until the screen changes. (It shoulf go the the blue screen, then display icons of any drives it finds, including CDs)
Select the drive with the appropriate OS logo superimposed, then click the arrow that points to the right.
If that works, then open the control pane and reselect the appropriate drive as your system startup disk.
