    i didnt work to delete all the adobe prefs in library/preferences and since yesterday i cant paste  anything and o get this:


    You need to delete files in your home directorys preferences ~/Library/Preferences

    ~ means home dir. So this is how the path usually looks like: "Macintosh HD/Users/username/Library/Preferences"

    How to open the dir:

    Select in Finder Menu: Go->Go to Folder and write there ~/Library/Preferences and Finder will open the correct folder for you.

    The ~ (tilde) is essential part of the address. Without the tilde you will open the Library in your System Disk. That folder does not contain user Preferences.

    In fact the library in homedir is hidden now in Lion. The Go menu is probaply the easiest way to get there.

    And in the ~/Library/Preferences -folder delete all adobe -containing files and folders.

    Same problem here, DW CS 5.5 working just fine before the OS X 10.7 (Lion) update, I'm in the middle of the development of an important web site and I just can't rely on an application that crashes every 5 minutes, any patch, trick, workaround or solution would be very much appreciated...

    I'm running CS5.5 on Lion without any issues so far.  What are you doing when it crashes?  Have you tried disabling extensions?  Was this an upgrade to Lion or a new Mac with a fresh Lion install?  Any more details you can provide would be helpful to see if I can reproduce as well.

    My specs are: MBP (mid-2009) 2.8Ghz, 4GB ram.

    Hello:

    I'll try to explain my situation according to your questions:

    1.- When it opens and just before it crashes, I start organizing the windows into my two screens, other times crashes when I finish doing that and start working with the HTML and CSS3 file parameters, but generally just launches and suddenly crashes, very frustrating in deed...

    2.- I don't think I'm working with extensions at all, if I do, I dont't know which ones I'm using neither know how to disable them... As a matter of fact, I can't even get to work with the widget browser 'cause Adobe AIR won't let me install it...

    3.- Lion was an upgrade from the latest version of Snow Leopard, the Lion installer was downloaded directly from the App store...

    I was working well with Dreamweaver CS 5.5 before installing Lion (Just with the widget browser issue, but everything else was stable and functional) Now, I'm affraid to use DW 'cause it "sounds" (you can hear the inminent crash by the sound of the hard disk) unstable every time I even try to use it to work on my web site project...

    I've been reaserching on the web and it seems that Lion's developers changed the structure of the main Library and this DW bug has something to do with the runtime of Java that uses to work with, it seems that it's not where it supposed to be when it first was developed...

    I hope this info helps to figure something out...

    Thanks in advance
