OS X 10.9 Mavericks / Dreamweaver CC Issue

[andychamberlainuk]

I hope someone can help, am a bit stuck.

I (foolishly) upgraded to OS X 10.9 and now cannot load Dreamweaver. I'm being asked to install Java SE 6 (which I have now done about 20 times) but the application never loads.

I have uninstalled, including settings. Reinstalled. Rebooted. Repaired Permissions.

Any suggestions..?

It seems that Adobe CC bundles its own Java and internal list of trusted certificate authorities. To add the two CA-cert files to the Adobe keystores I needed to download the "new_keystore.crt" and run this from the command line:

sudo find / -mount -name cacerts -print -exec keytool -import -alias an_appropriate_alias -file new_keystore.crt -keystore {} -storepass changeit -noprompt \;

You will need to know the name of the *.crt file that you want to add and the alias to be used for the new entry. This actually fixed a few other jab-based applications as well.

I hope that helps someone out there!

Hi all:

I am trying to install DW CS6, which is new to my son and I, on a new MacBook Air that arrived today.

I have spent hours trying ALL of the suggested fixes on this post, to no avail.

The strange thing is I set up another account on hi MBA and DW launches and runs from there, but won't run in his account.

I don't know where to go from here, and frankly, I'm a little ticked off that Adobe doesn't offer any free support for people like me who just bought CS 6.

We can't afford the cloud.

Does anyone have any other suggestion? I have tried everything mentioned here to no avail.

Thank you

Rich

DW requires that you have Java SE 6 on your system.  I believe Mavericks ships with 7.

Thanks Nancy O.

I have already done all of this, but will try it all again in a different order.

I am downloading Java SE 6 right now.

APP Nap was already disabled so I don't think that has anything to do with my problem.

Keep those suggestions coming. I have spent 3 hours of my life (that I will never get back) trying to get this damn thing to work.

Thank you

Since it runs in another account on the same machine, it's unlikely to be the Java issue.

Have you tried a new installation after running the Cleaner tool?

I didn't see that in this thread, granted I whipped through the earlier posts pretty quick skimming for it and may have missed it.

The issue "could" be a little corrupt file that's getting left behind in a standard reinstall.

Running the cleaner tool will get rid of absolutely everything.

Hi Jon Fritz II:

This was a good suggestion, but it didn't work.

I ran the uninstaller, then ran the cleaner, then deleted everything I could find that had "Adobe" in front of it.

Fixed permissions, restarted, reinstalled DW 6, still won't launch.

Extensions Manager will launch, and DW will launch from the other user I set up.

Very frustrating but I think you are on rthe right track. There is "something" in the main user account preventing DW 6 from opening. Can't be Java....

Not sure where to look....

Thanks again...

Does the "Main User" have full admin-level privileges?  This is required for reading & writing to files that DW creates.

In addition, you might want to install the 12.03 update for DW CS6. There were several bug fixes that came out after initial 12.0 product release.

Hi Nancy O:

Two very good suggestions.

I had NOT updated the CS 6 installation to the latest, which I did, but it still won't load.

I am a full admin---not a Mac beginner by any stretch.

Still won't launch....

Thanks again...

I have solved my problem!

I have deleted the DW 6 installation, and re-installed DW 5.

Everything works fine now.

I will be waiting for the day there is a viable alternative to Adobe Dreamweaver, and then moving to that.

Thank you all for your help.

have you tried Coda 2, works nice, and they have a trail

[Richard_Lefko]

Going to look at Coda now.

Thanks
