Site Definition Help - Please
Dreamweaver in CS3 on Windows XP Prof: Very very beginner:
Before I've chosen a folder or site or anything:
When I begin to define a site - in the Site Definition window
- in Site name: box, "Unnamed Site 2" always appears;
In the 'Local root folder:' box, the words C:\My
Documents\Unnamed Site 2\ always appears as does C:\
Why? and how do I change this so that no site name at all
appears in the 'Site name:' box?
Why? and how do I change this so that only C;\ appears in the
'Local root folder:' box.
Thanks to anyone for any help
DW will just give a site a name when you first try to define
a site. That pop-up box which says those names should give you the
option to click in the text areas and change the name and path to
whatever you wish.
To answer your questions I will say the following:
1 - To do this would would serve no purpose I will explain
why with the answer to #2.
2. I wouldn't recommend putting only C:\ in the local root
folder box. That would potentially cause issues down the road
because then DW would have access to work in the WINDOWS directory
and this is not good. I would highly recommend keeping it in your
user account on Windows XP (this is anything inside the
C:\Documents and Settings\Username folder, which includes your My
Documents folder). Now to jump back to #2. Without defining a
proper directory you would not be able to use its functions for
PHP, ASP or any server-side script. You would also not be able to
insert Flash files onto your web pages nor would you be able to use
the new features such as Spry. This is because DW needs a folder to
work in so that it can create the associated files and folders
which accompany making those types of scripts and functions. You
don't necessarily need to connect it to a remote website if you do
not have one, but you do need to specify a local folder to work in
and I would highly recommend it. Thus defining the Name only gives
the site definition a way for you to reference the site, even if it
is for testing many sites. For instance I put my sites in a folder
called "Sites" and then inside that folder I have many subfolders
which are defined sites in Dreamweaver. Each folder has a name
which corresponds to it that DW sees.

Site definition Help needed....Thanks
I am working with Dreamweaver 8. Vista operating system. My problem is a simple one but I am really
stuck on it.
In the past I have learned that to set my site definitions
to always work OFF line and then transfer changes to my hosing company. For some reason this has changed to working
ON line in the ftp:\\ mode.
I am unable to find a way to get back to the SITE
DEFINITIONS PAGES to change back to “Edit locally and then upload to remote
testing server.” Need help, PLEASE

Last week Firefox began "crashing" about once a day. Today it started not responding about 5 minutes after I sign in, no matter what site I am on. My son could not do any school work (online program) because it kept freezing. My computer is protected from malware and viruses (supposedly) I've downloaded the latest version of Firefox and ran a scan, nothing shows up. Please help. Thanks!

I want to open a domain.site2 file outside the default folder (User/Library/Application Support/iWeb) with iWeb11, but iWeb only opens the domain file in the default folder. If I delete the default domain file, iWeb wants to create a new site. Does anyone have the same problem or know how to fix it?
In Lion the Finder folder is now invisible. To make it permanetely visible enter the following in the Terminal applicaiton window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an applicaiton.
Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate

Will not display maps like APRS and photo's from some sites. Help please
I am unable to see the maps that I try view on screen. The page comes up and says:" Sorry, we have no imagery here". The terrain details are not visible, names however show up.
>name="Banner" --><img src="banners/2.jpg"
alt="banner"
Sounds like the work of Norton. Don't ever use the word
'banner' in any part of your images. Rename the image and alt text
and see if that works. -
Please help me to understand how to name a newsite with and
existing site name. I have an existing site created in Dreamweaver
and live. I have created a new site within a folder Unnamed Site 3/
on the same local drive (not within the root folder) where this
existing site lives. I did not want to name it the same name as my
existing site name,so not to confuse any of the files- since I had
to use some existing files and also create new ones. I have never
entirely replaced an existing site with another using the same
domain name. Obviously all my template files and pages have a path
of Unnamed Site 3/Blah/Blah throughout them. How (please tell me
this is possible) do I change the path throughout to the existing
domain name throughout the site files. I hate to seem so silly but
I never had to put up a replacement site before. Do I use Change
links sitewide? I have so much done already, it just wouldn't make
sense that there was not a way.Name the new site "Original name NEW". Give it the same
Remote site
definition as the old site. When the time comes, move all of
the original
site files folders on the remote server into an archive
folder (preserving
the hierarchy) on the remote site (or even just delete them,
and upload the
new site. Bada bing, bada boom.

Hi Again!
I posted this problem here before, but since I really need to access the sites that receive this error message in less than a month, I had to re-post; hopefully someone who didn't see it before will see it & have a solution for me.
Here are the details: I'm running windows 8.1 & I use Firefox 33.1.1, Pale Moon 25.1.0 or Opera 26.0 as my browsers, (I have IE installed & up-to-date, but I never use it). I followed the 10-point checklist on Adobe & everything was done, except for "uncheck Hardware Acceleration" in Flash 'Settings'; I tried to uncheck it on this site, where it's indicated, as well as in my 4 browsers when I'm doing something that uses Flash, but no matter how hard I try, I can't 'uncheck' the check mark in that tiny box! Since this error problem only affects 5 web sites, & I can watch streaming media on all other sites, I don't think it's an issue.
Here's how this problem began: I was watching a live, streaming nest-cam on 5/09/14 around 11:00AM, (yes, I DO know the exact time & date, because it happened so suddenly while I was watching this website that I'd been watching since the end of February, 2014), when my screen went black. I thought it was probably an Adobe Crash, but when the usual Crash Report window didn't show up, I just closed Firefox & reopened it, expecting to resume watching the nest-cam. When I went back to the site, I got the black screen with the "Error loading plugin: Plugin file not found" message. The chat portion on the site still works, though. I know there are other sites with this nest-cam feed, so I started trying them, but it took several tries for me to find one that didn't get the error message! I posted this problem on "Windows BBS" forum, & someone else posted that the same thing happened to them AND on the same sites! They didn't have a solution, either. I cleared my cache, rebooted my PC & even did a System Restore, but whatever happened in that brief second made using ONLY 5 sites impossible. Here are the sites that receive the error message:
http://pixcontroller.com/eagles, (but I CAN go to http://pixcontroller.com, but there isn't any streaming media)
http://cbslocal.com/eagles
http://westmorelandconservancy.org/BlueBirdwebcam-1.htm
http://wildearth.tv/cam/pittsburgh-bald-eagles, (I get the error message on ALL cams on this site)
http://aviary.org/BE-NestCam1 (I get the error message on ALL cams on this site)
Now if any videos from the 5 websites above are uploaded to YouTube, I can watch them perfectly...no error message if I watch the videos elsewhere. Luckily, I found Ustream, & they have most of the nest cams I watch, but I need to fix this issue, because it's nearing nesting time! I'm an amateur nest-watcher & it's vital that I have access to these 5 sites, so if anyone knows how to fix this, PLEASE tell me!
Thanks for taking the time to read my post.
All suggestions/solutions are gratefully accepted.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Help please!
Live preview also not working.
I have exactly the exact problem described below but do not have a folder with the same name as the volume created under the volume. Please can someone help - I've tried everything. This problem only happened when I upgraded to Dreaweaver CC!
"On launching Dreamweaver on your Macintosh if your Welcome Screen is not loading and if you see a "File not found" error, please check if you have a folder with the same name as your volume created under the volume. For more info on this please go through the attached pdf document. Other dialogs/panels in dreamweaver that will be blank due to this issue are Jquery Swatches panel, Adobe Edge Webfonts tab in Manage Fonts dialog,W3c Error Info dialog, Externalise Javascript dialog and svn revert dialog. After following the changes mentioned in the attached document please check all the affected dialogs/panels to confirm everything is working as expected."
Thanks,

Hello ..do you have a history on the phone? did you get it wet? was it dropped? have you been using an authentic ORIGINAL apple charging cable?
this problem occurs when there is a short circuit in the phone... you most likely got it wet at some point and maybe didnt even realize it? The moisture in the phone hasb probablly oxidized one or several capacitors, integrated chips thereby short circuiting the phone. that is why he phone is acting erratic because these short circuits inadvertently "activates" other circuits.. eventually the phone will not turn on anymore- the heat will stress the citcuit board and you will have discontinuity along your main power lines and the phone will cease to function..i see this alllll the time in our shop
the fact you upgraded to ios6 will even work the phone harder because its a more powerful operating system taking full advantage of the A4 chip.. -

Putting site problem. Please help.
Hi - if anyone can help me it would be fantastic...
I try to put my web site onto the remote site, which
according to the split 'Remote Site/Local Files' view, it has done.
But when I view the web address in the browser (safari), it is
still the old site... which I have actually deleted from the remote
and local views... I have tried clearing the cache and the other
suggestions I found on the video 'trouble shooting dreamweaver'
section on this site. I am stuck, I had a similar problem with this
particular site when using MX 2004 too (am using the trial CS3
now).Check your Remote Site Definition in DW and make sure you
have specified
the correct Default Folder on the server. You may have
uploaded your
files to the web server, but not to the actual site root
folder on the
server.

Need help : cannot anymore select local info in site definition only remote
Hi
I made the mistake choosing in site deffintion for remote info and not local info
Now it seems impossible to reverse it cannot anymore select local info in site definition only remote
So now I can not make the site normally.
I've closed dreamweaver a couple times and tried it again and even my pc but it seems to be something irreparable?
Does anyone know a better idea than reinstall?
thank you
PaulYou are on the Basic Tab of the Site definition dialog in DW CS3. Unfortunately, that's also the more confusing way to define a site. Nevertheless, you'll note that there are 3 selections across the top of the dialog:
1. Editing Files
2. Testing Files
3. Sharing Files
Have you already filled out the first two?
A site definition in DW *could* only have the first of those three filled out - you really only need the local site defined until you are ready to upload your files (assuming you are only creating static pages - that is, pages without server scripting).
To define most remote sites, all you need to do is to select that you connect to your remote server using FTP, and then to state the folder within which your website files are stored on the remote server (often this is a folder called 'www' or 'wwwroot' or 'public_html').
In my mind, the better way to define a site is to go right to the Advanced tab - it's less confusing because you just fill in all of the fields without going through this 'wizard-type' interface....
So - does that help at all? -
Have 60 gig ipod classic will power up will go to songs but will not play any songs just sits there on 0 I can fast foreword but it still will not do a thing just sits at new spot in song and will not play , help please.
Update!
This is what I did to fix both the skipping songs problem and the iPod verifying forever & not able to restore problem (because of iTunes 9):
a) I used Disk Utility to reformat my iPod while in Disk Mode using the instructions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363?viewlocale=en_US
and here:
http://www.methodshop.com/gadgets/ipodsupport/erase/index.shtml#backup
b) Do not unplug your iPod after reformatting (mine showed up as a firewire disk) - simply launch iTunes ( I went back to 8.2) and follow the Restore instructions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1339
iPod is recognized, syncs and doesn't skip songs anymore after that miserable experience with iTunes 9!!!
