Dreamweaver CS5.5 Deleting Code When Copying a File

When I try to copy or duplicate a file in Dreamweaver CS5.5 for Mac, Dreamweaver removes the last five or six lines of code. I have to create a lot of nearly-identical webpages with the same footer information on each page, and it's really tiresome having to go back into each page and re-create the code Dreamweaver has deleted. I've updated both the Dreamweaver and OS software, but it hasn't corrected the problem. It doesn't matter whether I use the "copy", "paste", "duplicate" Dreamweaver functions, or if I simply use Command+C, Command+V. I can't seem to find anyone online having a similar problem. Do any of you know of a fix?
Here's an example:
The code at the end of the original page:
  <p><a style="color: #FF6600; font-weight: bold; font-size: 10px" href="http://osu.okstate.edu">OSU Homepage</a> <font style="font-size: 10px">|</font> <a style="color: #FF6600; font-weight: bold; font-size: 10px" href="http://admissions.okstate.edu">Admissions Homepage</a> <font style="font-size: 10px">|</font> <a style="color: #FF6600; font-weight: bold; font-size: 10px" href="mailto:[email protected]">Contact Us</a> <font style="font-size: 10px">|</font> <a style="color: #FF6600; font-weight: bold; font-size: 10px" href="http://admissions.okstate.edu/getmail" target="_blank">Get Mail</a></p></center></html>
What ends up on the copied page:
<p><a style="color: #FF6600; font-weight: bold; font-size: 10px" href="http://osu.okstate.edu">OSU Homepage</a> <font style="font-size: 10px">|</font> <a style="color: #FF6600; font-weight: bold; font-size: 10px" href="http://admissions.okstate.edu">Admissions Homepage</a> <font style="font-size: 10px">|</font> <a style="color: #FF6600; font-weight: bold; font-size: 10px" href="mailto:[email protected]">Contact Us</a> <font style="font-size: 10px">|</font> <a style="color: #FF6600; font-weight: bold; font-size: 10

On the remote server side, I can right-click, say, index.html and copy or duplicate it. It's in that process that the code is being chopped off.
I never work that way and wouldn't want to for a variety of reasons. 
Best to open index.html in your Local Site. 
Hit File > SaveAs "some-new-filename.html"
Try doing that a few times and report back with your results.

  • When copying raw files from Extreme IV card to hardrive, finder copies a few files then exits task and wipes the card clean of all images.

    When copying raw files from Extreme IV card to hardrive, finder copies a few files then exits task and wipes the card clean of all images.  Have tried new card and card-reader to no avail.  Have done this many times on other macs with no problems.
    Can edit files off the card, in CameraRaw, prior to 'copying' them, ie can 'save as' to the hard drive, so files seem okay on card, before I try to copy them using copy and paste.
    Running OS 10.8.3 on a new macbook pro.

    Rita,
    The process for determining what is causing the files to be corrupt can be a tedious one depending on the following:
    1. Can you review the images on your camera's LCD screen without problems? If not then the problem is most probably either a corrupted/faulty memory card or a faulty camera. If this is the case then your best bet at recovery (of sorts) is to use a program such as BrezzeBrowser from BreezeSys to extract the embedded jpeg versions of the corrupted RAW files from within each RAW file. Chances are, you won't manage to actually repair the corrupted RAW file but the jpegs are better than nothing.
    2. If the images review ok on your camera but are corrupted when viewing on your computer and there seems to be no other problem with other files on your computer then it may be either a faulty card reader or usb/firewire cable between the card reader and the computer that is the culprit. Try the card reader with a different cable and also try a different card reader to determine the cause of the corruption.
    3. If your symptoms are that you get different files corrupting over time when viewing them on your computer then the problem may be any one of either failing RAM memory, hard disk, hard disk controller or IDE/SATA hard disk cables. This is where the troubleshooting can be pretty tedious testing then eliminating each item from the list of suspicious pieces of hardware. Try the card and card reader on an altogether different computer to see if the files transfer correctly to that computer. If so then the problem lies with your computer hardware. If you haven't already done so at this stage, backup all your important data immediately (hopefully you keep backs anyway).
    Hope this helps.

  • Error code -36 when copying large file

    Aperture (Apple's pro photo software) stores all of it's data (pictures, metadata, etc) in what appears to be a large file called the Library. In fact, it's a large folder with all of the contents hidden so you don't mess around with it. I back this file up periodically to both an internal and external drive. After a hard drive failure and recreating my whole machine, everything seemed fine and Aperture is working normally. I have tried to drag copy my Aperture Library (rebuilt from my Aperture vault, a back up file created by Aperture) file to my internal second drive, a process that takes about 2 hours (300 Gb). The drive I'm copying to has over 451 GB available and was freshly formatted during this rebuild process. A little more that half way through the drag copy I get the following message.
    "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in “Aperture Library” could not be read or written, (Error code -36)"
    Here's what I've done to so far.
    1. Aperture has a function to repair permissions and rebuild the file, done both several times.
    2. I found (by looking at all 20,000 plus pictures) some corrupt picture files and deleted them, then repeted step one.
    3. Tried a duplicate file on the same drive, same error.
    Thoughts? Help? I can't find anything on a Mac OS error -36.
    By the way, I'm running Mac OS 10.5.8 and Aperture 2.1.4 on a Quad Core G5.

    This what it means:
    Type -36 error (I/O Errors (bummers)
    This file is having difficulty while either reading from the drive or writing to the drive. The file
    may have been improperly written data to the drive or the hard drive or disk may be damaged.
    This is almost always indicative of a media error (hard error on the disk). Sometimes (rarely) it is transient.
    Solutions: Try copying the file to another drive. Use a disk recovery software, such as Disk First Aid to examine the disk. You can try rebooting with all extensions off. Once in a while this will allow you to read the data. The file in question should be restored from a backup that was stored on a different disk. Regular backups can reduce the time to recover from this error.

  • Error code 8084 when copying large files from VNX servers

    Hi,
    We are experiencing problems when attempting to copy large files from our central VNX servers (EMC) using the connection format of smb://<host>/.  With Mavericks this will be SMB2, presumably.  Anything over a few MB in size fails with the error:
    The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8084)
    Looking in the Console logs we see the following:
    kernel[0]: smb2_smb_read_write_fill: len got reduced, must be running low on credits
    If we attempt this on OS X Mountain Lion or below we have no problems.
    If, with Mavericks, we connect using the format cifs://<host>/ then file transfers work.
    Has anyone come across this before?  Thinking I should also post a bug...
    Cheers,

  • Dreamweaver CS5.5 hangs when synchronizing files

    I work with a non-profit that has just bought two CS5.5 Design Premium licenses. One of our first tasks is to manage an organizational website in Dreamweaver CS5.5
    We need both users to be able to do updates, one on a Mac (me), and the other user on a PC in a different office.
    Attempt 1: Use the Subversion features, to allow collaboration and versioning. Hmmm — after much research it appears setting this is not meant for anyone but Unix power users.
    Attempt 2: Use the simpler "Synchronize" and "Check In/Out" features. Trouble here too, and many hours now down the drain. It's a fairly large site. Dreamweaver hangs almost immediately on trying to mark a long list of files as already synchronized, while using roughly 100% of a CPU.
    This should be a simple startup task — set up two users' copies of the site as synchronized with the server version, so we can safely begin checking files in and out and making changes from two locations.
    Can anyone give me guidance on how to get this to work?

    You will have to have Live view turned on for BrowserLab to work.

  • Dreamweaver CS3 stops respoding when I open file

    I have a problem with dreamweaver stopping responding when I try to work on a specific file. I can open the file, but once I click on the code dreamweave stops responding. This file is in my testing environment. An identical copy current is in use on the server and works. To resolve the issue I have tried the following:
    Coping the file to a new name, deleting the orginal and renaming the copies to the oeginal name - did not resolve issue
    Opening the file in notepad, coping the code to a new file in dreamweave, closing notepad, saving the code over the orginal file - did not resolve issue
    I am now rewriting the code under a different, but I would still like to resolve the orginal issue.
    Any suggestions.

    OK, I tried coping the file over line by line and doing some simple rewrite. The file was open as a blank ASP and saved under I new file name. Everything work until I closed the file. When I reopened the file I had the same issue as before.

  • TC and WD500 External drive - Locks up when copying large files

    I have a TC with a Western Digital 500GB my Book connected to the USB port on the TC that I use for network Storage. Everything works fine until I try to copy large files or directories from the Finder mounted share. After the copy freezes the external drive can no longer be seen by airport utility. If I look at disks it sees the disk but no partition. I have to power cycle the external drive to have TC see the drive again. Then I disconnect the drive and plug it in directly to the MAC and run disk utility and his repairs the journal. I have to do the repair every time it locks up. Should the external drive be formatted different or does it have to be connected to a USB hub. Or is this just a bug with the TC and afp ?

    I have this very same problem.
    I tried to copy a 4GB+ folder from the Macbook to the 500GB MyBook attached to my TC and it froze.
    Now the the files on the MyBook are invisible when attached to the TC ("0 Items") but are available when the drive is connected directly to the Macbook. I have run disk utility but it hasn't helped. The disk is FAT 32 formatted and the files on the MyBook are still invisible over the network.
    When the drive attached to the Macbook directly I can see a 'phantom' file with the same title as the 4GB+ folder I'd tried to copy. This file is "ZERO KB" and it cannot be deleted (error code -43).
    Anyone have a clue what is happening here?

  • Error Message when copying music files to Nano

    When copying an album to the Nano, I receive and error message with 4 songs left to copy off of the album. Error states: Attempting to copy to the disk "IPOD" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to. With 4 songs left to copy
    I have only used approx. 344.8 MB of memory. I tried resetting the Nano and then also deleting album and recopying and the same files back. Nothing seems to work, please help!

    If you want to use large files you have to reformat it. It will erase any data that is on the drive, If the drive will be used only with OSX, format it as Mac Extended (HFS+) Journaled with the GUID partition table.
    Start Disk Utility (Utilities Folder). Select the drive in the left column (be sure to select the drive, all the way at the left, not the volume indented below it). Select the "Partition" tab. Set "Volume Scheme" to "1 Partition". Click the "Options" button. Select "GUID Partition Table". Click the "OK" button. Enter the volume name and click the "Apply" button.

  • Just new to Dreamweaver cs5 / Deleting a recent Item / Resetting home page

    Hello
          I am new to dreamweaver cs5.  Just purchased the software and teaching myself the basics.  I have created several recent projects and would I like to clean up, delete them and start all over again.  Also have  lost dreamweavers home page and don't know how to reset it.  If anyone can please help.   Is there an easy way to go about this?     Thank you Jon.

    Hi,
    To delete recent files in your file list try the following :
    On Windows, it's a setting in the Windows registry:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Dreamweaver\Recent File List
    Select each file, right-click and select Delete.
    DW must be closed befoire doing this.
    If you are unfamiliar with the Registry (be careful !!!!!!), you can access it by executing the following:
    Start > Run > REGEDIT > OK
    To show (or hide) the Welcome Screen, go to your preference, General Category and chock (or uncheck) the first one.
    Hope this help !

  • Drive Redirection virtual channel hangs when copying a file from server to client over RDP 8.1

    Problem Summary:
    A UTF-8 without BOM Web RoE XML file output from a line of business application will not drag and drop copy nor copy/paste from a Server 2012 R2 RD Session Host running RD Gateway to a Windows 7 Remote Desktop client over an RDP 8.1 connection and the Drive
    Redirection virtual channel hangs.  The same issue affects a test client/server with only Remote Desktop enabled on the server.
    Other files copy with no issue.  See below for more info.
    Environment:
    Server 2012 R2 Standard v6.3.9600 Build 9600
    the production server runs RDS Session Host and RD Gateway roles (on the same server).  BUT,
    the issue can be reproduced on a test machine running this OS with simply Remote Desktop enabled for Remote Administration
    Windows 7 Pro w SP1v6.1.7601 SP1 Build 7601 running updates to support RDP 8.1
    More Information:
    -the file is a UTF-8 w/o BOM (Byte Order Marker) file containing XML data and has a .BLK extension.  It is a Web Record of Employment (RoE) data file exported from the Maestro accounting application.
    -the XML file that does not copy does successfully validate against CRA's validation XML Schema for Web RoE files
    -Video redirection is NOT AFFECTED and continues to work
    -the Drive Redirection virtual channel can be re-established by disconnecting/reconnecting
    -when the copy fails, a file is created on the client and is a similar size to the original.  However, the contents are incomplete.  The file appears blank but CTRL-A shows whitespace
    -we can copy the contents into a file created with Notepad and then that file, which used to copy, will then NOT copy
    -the issue affects another Server 2012 R2 test installation, not just the production server
    -it also affects other client Win7 Pro systems against affected server
    -the issue is uni-directional i.e. copy fails server to client but succeeds client to server
    -I don't notice any event log entries at the time I attempt to copy the file.
    What DOES WORK
    -downgrading to RDP 7.1 on the client WORKS
    -modifying the file > 2 characters -- either changing existing characters or adding characters (CRLFs) WORKS
    -compressing the file WORKS e.g. to a ZIP file
    -copying OTHER files of smaller, same, and larger sizes WORKS
    What DOES NOT WORK?
    -changing the name and/or extension does not work
    -copying and pasting affected content into a text file that used to have different content and did copy before, then does not work
    -Disabling SMB3 and SMB2 does not work
    -modifying TCP auto-tuning does not work
    -disabling WinFW on both client and server does not work
    As noted above, if I modify the affected file to sanitize it's contents, it will work, so it's not much help.  I'm going to try to get a sample file exported that I can upload since I can't give you the original.
    Your help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks.

    Hi Dharmesh,
    Thanks for your reply!
    The issue does seem to affect multiple users.  I'm not fully clear on whether it's multiple users and the same employee's file, but I suspect so.
    The issue happens with a specific XML file and I've since determined that it seems to affect the exported RoE XML file for one employee (record?) in the software.  Other employees appear to work.
    The biggest issue is that there's limited support from the vendor in this scenario.  Their app is supported on 2012 R2 RDS.
    What I can't quite wrap my head around are
    why does it work in RDP 7.1 but not 8.1?  What differences between the two for drive redirection would have it work in 7.1 and not 8.1?
    when I examine the affected file, it really doesn't appear any different than one that works.  I used Notepad++ and it shows the encoding as the same and there doesn't appear to be any invalid characters in the affected file.  I wondered
    if there was some string of characters that was being misinterpreted by RDP or some other operation and blocked somehow but besides having disabled AV and firewall software on both ends, I'm not sure what else I could change to test that further
    Since it seems to affect only the one employee's XML file AND since modifying that file to change details in order to post it online would then make that file able to be copied, it seems I won't be able to post a sample.  Too bad.

  • Error -1309 when copying a file from internal to external HD

    I am trying to copy a disk image of an iDVD project over to an external hard drive.
    I want to transfer the file to my laptop which burns DVDs at 8x as opposed to the 2x of my iMac 20.
    During repeated attempts, near the very end of the copying process, I get this error:
    “Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred
    (Error code -1309)”
    I can find no reference to this error code number in Apple’s site or from a Google search.
    I have verified and repaired permissions on the disk being copied from (the startup disk) and have verified the disk of the external (Western Digital 120GB).
    I have also verified that the file in question plays correctly in DVD player on the iMac 20.
    I have also tried copying other files to the external (including disk images) and they copy fine, which leads me to believe there is a problem with this particular file.
    I can try re-creating the disk image again in iDVD, but because its almost a 2 hour program, it took most of the day to do that.
    So before I take that step again:
    can anyone please shed some light on what my problem could be, or ways to troubleshoot further? Thank you.

    Can I reformat in Disk Utility?
    Yes - keep in mind that reformating will erase anything on the drive.
    From the Disk Utility Help files:
    1. If you want to erase an external disk, connect the disk to your computer.
    2. In Disk Utility, select the disk or volume in the list on the left.
    3. Click Erase.
    4. Choose a format from the Volume Format pop-up menu. Usually you will choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    5. Type a name for the disk or volume.
    6. If you're erasing a disk and plan to use the disk with Mac OS 9, select the checkbox to install the Mac OS 9 drivers.
    7. You do not need to install the Mac OS 9 drivers to use the disk with the Classic environment.
    8. If you want to erase the entire contents of the disk by writing zeros, click Security Options, then select the option you want and click OK.
    9. Click Erase.

  • Copying hangs when copying large files from DVD

    I'm having trouble copying large files (>2GB) from DVDs to my built-in hard drive. When I drag the file icon from the DVD window to the desktop, the progress bar pops up almost immediately, and says "0 KB of 2.3 GB copied" and "Estimated time left: 1 minute" -- and then it just sits there, doing nothing. In some cases, after five minutes or so of inactivity, the copy finally begins... but most of the time it never does. Force-Quit doesn't help; the only way out is to do an emergency restart and try again.
    This problem began when I upgraded to Tiger, and several members of my office group have been experiencing the same problem on their own computers as well.
    I've poked around the forum looking for answers but the only thing I could find that looked related was a conflict between iSight and some third-party external hard drives... but none of us have iSight, and none of us are using third-party external drives, so clearly that's not the issue we'rehaving.
    Any help out there?
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Michael, I occasionally notice anomolous behaviour when files get dragged between volumes. Mostly the copying window shows an accurate and immediate indication of what's going on, but other times it just looks like nothing's happening, the display never changes, yet, it is in fact copying the files over. Now, if you're copying 2gb files from DVD to HD, it's gonna take some time, more than 5 minutes, so I'm wondering how long you've left it before forcing it to quit?

  • OS X 10.4.7 server: Samba leaking ram when copying large files from windows

    Hi.
    I'm having problems with:
    Copying files from windows clients to OS X Server 10.4.7 uses up the RAM needed for the files to be copied.
    If I copy a 3GB file, it uses 3GB of RAM
    If I copy a 5GB file, it uses its 4GB of RAM, plus VM.
    If I copy 11GB of files (that is several little files, plus some big by dropping a folder to the share), it consumes all the RAM the machine has, and because of VM paging, whatever other clients are reading from the disk (XRaid) start to have hiccups.
    The RAM of the machine NEVER gets flushed after the copying has finished. So Samba is unusable as it is. I have four Xserves with 4GB of RAM, with 4 XRaids connected each one to each Xserve with its Apple Fiber Channel card and cables.
    I already did the ack=0 thing, got the size of inet.tcp.sendspace and rcvspace to 8388608 and the buffer to 16777216.
    The transfers rates are up to 70MB/s with 2 channel 1gb trunking, and at very sustained rates..
    We are using these to edit video content (DV 25) in Sony Vegas with 2 or 3 clients for each server.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks very much.

  • Error message when copying .mov files

    Hello,
    I'm trying to copy .mov files to back up from my desktop and from an external hardrive (250gb) to a new external hardrive (350gb) but each time I am getting the an error message saying the operation can not be completed due to unexpected error (error code 0). The files i am trying to copy are between 7gb and 20gb. Does anyone what what the error message means or how I can get around it please?!
    Thanks!

    If you want to use large files you have to reformat it. It will erase any data that is on the drive, If the drive will be used only with OSX, format it as Mac Extended (HFS+) Journaled with the GUID partition table.
    Start Disk Utility (Utilities Folder). Select the drive in the left column (be sure to select the drive, all the way at the left, not the volume indented below it). Select the "Partition" tab. Set "Volume Scheme" to "1 Partition". Click the "Options" button. Select "GUID Partition Table". Click the "OK" button. Enter the volume name and click the "Apply" button.
