I am having exactly the same problem.  I installed Mountain Lion in place and after installation, CS6 applications crash.  I have uninstalled all CS6 applications and reinstalled and the problem still occurs.

The crash log shows the following:

Thanks for all the advice.  I have installed all updated and the problem persists, unfortunately.  I am now preparing to do a clean re-install of Mountain Lion and will let you know if this resolves the issue.

Just did a fresh install of Mountain Lion, installed all updates then installed Create Suite 6.  Same problem.  Crashes on launch of Dreamweaver and Fireworks.  Tried installing latest CS6 updates, same issue.  Unbelievable.  On the Adobe website they say there are no known compatibility issues: http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/creativesuite/faq.html

indesign creashes for me as well

I just installed the 7/30/2012 update. Same crash thereafter. I'm wasting a lot of time now, not a happy camper!

As an iOS developer, I know that these kind of crashes are usually the fault of the program developer, not Apple.

I'm not sure if that will help any of you or not, but it seemed to work for her and someone else.

-Good Luck

Tried the java fix but it didn't work for me, unfortunately.  I've logged a bug now so I hope Adobe will address this soon.

This is killing me! has there been any resolution to this issue? mine seems to be caused by trying to restore previous files. And no amount of preference clearing or re-installing seems to work!

Any news from Adobe on this? It's really annoying that half the products became useless after the ML upgrade..

Bob surely you will have to agree with me that clean installs and formatting before upgrading an operating system is Windows-style behavior and it's exactly the reason why I've switched to Mac in the first place.

As I understand from the forum there are also plenty of people who have completed a clean install and still have the same issues.

I am happy for you that your CS6 runs smoothly and as expected, but for those people out there that are experiencing the same issues as I am it would be nice if Adobe would come up with some fix. Cause the way it is sitting now I have a paid a lot for a couple of bug reports..

Cheers,

HI Bob,

Thanks for your fast reply. First of all you wanted an example look at reply number 10 in this post. Same issues after a clean Mountain Lion install.

And my MB Air is less than 3 months old, I refuse to believe I managed to clutter the OS so badly already that it needed a new install rather than an upgrade.

I will try a clean install tonight, however I don't have fate that it will solve my problem.

Cheers

I could resolve the problem by deinstalling CS6 with all the prefs, reboot, reboot a second time, reinstall CS6. Strangely enough I had to follow this procedure twice in a row to have the desired effect (rather by accident as I had been interrupted doing it for the first time).

I refuse the idea that we must go to all the work of doing a complete clean reinstall of Mountain Lion! This is an Adobe problem.

I tried uninstalling Dreamweaver, then reinstalling.

On launch, it came up as far as the welcome screen, and then crashed as always. Next time, immediately as the welcome screen came on, I closed it. No crash. I was then able to open my website. So I turned off the welcome screen feature.

I just tried to launch. Crash. On 'reopen app', this time, an Adobe message came up 'Last time, the application crashed on attempting to reopen open windows. Do you want to launch without opening windows?"  When I chose that, it successfully launched. So that may be a clue.

So I'm going to try closing all windows before quitting, and see if that stops the crashes. At least I can work again. And this was without reinstalling OSX.

I sure hope Adobe is working hard on this. It's annoying that they don't tell us anything, when so many people are having crashes.

Your perrogative.

Bob,

Clearly you are siding with Adobe on this, and assume it's normal for people to have to spend days of their life trying to figure this out. However as I've mentioned before, and I am not alone on this: even a clean install is not a guarantee to solve this issue. I and many with me have tried every possible fix we could find out on the forums and at best have to make due with an unreliable crash-heavy piece of software.

So I have to agree with snorkeler on this, it is ridiculous that we are expected to put so much time and effort into getting an application to work that we have already spent a lot of $$ on. I reckon I should start billing Adobe for my lost time.

If the adobe creative suite cost 10$ I would not be complaining, heck I wouldn't even expect it to work properly. But with Adobe's licensing fees the least we should be able to expect is some proper support and a timely fix to such a critical problem.

Cheers..

I think Adobe changed. I installed ML, then installed Adobe CS6. All worked beautifully.

Then, I recollect, Adobe did an update to Java (Apple didn't change anything) and suddenly some of the Adobe apps started crashing.

Everything else non-Adobe seems to be working very well. So I'm inclined to think it's an Adobe issue.
