I found the problem.  Your site files must be loaded within the hard drive directory as opposed to "...user/whatever."  I have no idea why this is.

Copy your site folder (with files), open Finder (which you might be in since you're copying a folder), click on your device name, open the hard drive ( I named mine macHD ), and then open the Applications folder.  Create a New Folder (name of your choice) within Applications and paste your site folder (with files) within this new folder. When D/W prompts you to enter the Spry folder, choose the browse button, and in Finder click on whatever your device name is under "Devices," click the hard drive, open applications, open then new folder and click (highlight) your site folder.  Hit save in D/W.  Took me five days to figure this out.  I have no idea if other folders within the hard drive will work.  I just put mine in applications because.

I think Adobe needs to fix this issue. I know that there are a few frustrated users out there.

Agreed but you need to let them know via the official form

https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

Adobe repeatedly insists that they read info submitted to them via that form. There's no guarantee that they'll see this thread in the forums.

If you tell them officially, they cannot say they weren't told.

I worked with the Adobe guys for 2.5 hours yesterday and even they had no idea what the deal was.  I saw your post on another site (or maybe the same, it was through bing and I was binged out) and it gave me the idea to try this.  Adobe TV needs to have a video on HOW TO INSTALL DREAMWEAVER ON A MAC.  Would have saved me days of frustration.  Best wishes to all.  Once D/W gets up and running, it's a pretty bad-A product.

Well for once

They "bugged" the AP elements "pallette", so it's now completely useless.. Thank god one knows how to code the stuff manually,

Judy:  Are you trying to install Dreamweaver?  If you are, you don't  need to rename anything.  It just needs to be installed in the  applications folder.  I fought and fought with Adobe and they had no  idea how to fix this problem.  I just installed the whole works in the  applications folder and it worked for me.

Hi, no, I have had cs5 installed for a while, and I have used it successfully for ages.

Now suddenly it is not working.

I can't even create a NEW site without this asset folder issue, so it isn't just the site I am trying to manage.

I am about ready to scream.

Judy:  That was exactly what DW displayed when I tried to use it outside of the applications folder after installing it for the first time.  You said your DW was already installed.  I just updated my DW and it deleted my password and user name.  Second time it has done this.  Did you just update?  If you did, I don't know what to say that will help you.  It's possible that DW changed a setting in your account info.  I don't understand why Adobe can't, or won't, fix this issue for Mac users.  

Sorry,
