The Background File Activity Window Is Annoying. Any tips on removing?

So, I just started using Dreamweaver CC after having been on hiatus from the program for nearly a decade. I have to say, most of the things I hated it for, and stopped using it because of, have been corrected. Kudos, Adobe, for fixing what was everyone's least favorite program in the suite.
Anywho, all that said, I am still annoyed on a very VERY regular basis by the program issuing an extremely pesky pop-up window anytime I attempt to Put files to my Remote or Testing server. I took a screenshot of the nasty bugger and have attached it here. The Background File Activity window closes when the Put action results in no errors or warnings. That's fine, but EVERY SINGLE TIME I put an HTML file that has references to external files (**so ya know like ANY HTML FILE EVER**), the window stays up and requires me to take action on closing it. THIS IS EXTREMELY ANNOYING. The error message displayed in the window doesn't even seem to be accurate (- error occurred - Access denied. The file may not exist locally, may be open in another program, or there could be a local permission problem), because it DOES put the HTML file in question. Perhaps the worst characteristic of this window is that is floats above everything else on my desktop. That means if I want to do a local>remote sync or just upload a bigger bunch of files, and then jump back into Photoshop to keep working on assets in there, I eventually am interrupted by this window popping up. This thing is worse than my cat trying to lay on my hands when I'm typing.
So, if anyone has any suggestions on how to turn this frustrating dialogue off, I would be very grateful.
My system specs are: Yosemite (Mac OS 10.10.1) and Dreamweaver CC 2014.1 (15.0.0.6947).
MUCHO DANKES

its not FTP information, the site is defined as Local
Network. I have a drive
lets say M:\ mapped to \\machine\webroot or whatever and then
point my DW8 site
to M:\webroot
It can synchronize all it wants, all day long for all I
care...... just lose
the focus so I can switch windows??? You don't name something
'background' file
activity when its in your face and causing nothing to respond
appropriately in
the 'foreground' lol.

Set default for background file activity

Does anyone know how to have Dreamweaver 8 have the
Background File Activity to default to
always show details"
? I know it seems like a little thing but I always have to try
to get to the arrow to click it to show Details and when there are
just a few files, it's nearly impossible to get there quickly
enough.
I thought that perhaps DW8 might remember the last setting
but that doesn't appear to be the case. My system is running
Windows XP Pro SP2 with IE 7..
Thank you,
Stretchr

Done! I hope that they listen to our suggestions. I am still
more than a bit wary of how this product will fare now that Adobe
owns it but maybe I'll be surprised.
Cheers,
Stretchr

Background File Activity - wasted time

In Dreamweaver CS6 when I put or drag a file over from the local to the remote the Background File Activity checks EVERY file in the system - not just for what I'm uploading - takes a lot of time away from my work - every time I upload it checks everything and lets me know - not transferred - great but I wasn't trying to transfer anything but what I did! I How do I avoid this function?

I have never run into that before. If I have a file highlighted and click Put, only that file is ever processed. I certainly don't get the "same - not transferred" notation on everything (which is what I would expect in a Synchronize).
I can see why you're frustrated, that has to be a huge time waster.
It's not the standard behavior, so it should be repairable.
I don't know of any settings that would force checking the entire site on a standard Put operation though. Is this something that just recently started happening, or has DW always processed every file for you?

What happened to the file activity window indicator?

In Dreamweaver CS5 and earlier versions when I would upload my files to my web server the file activity window would show the progress as the bits uploaded. Now in CS6 the bits aren't showing... only the overall progress. This is a drag when I'm uploading a large file and can't monitor the progress. The progress bar doesn't really show you as a large file is uploading. Is this a new change or can it be restored to how it use to be somehow?
Thanks,
BC

I found the answer to this problem at this link:
http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2012/06/ftp-improvement-in-dreamweaver-cs6.html
Seems the activity window has in fact changed in CS6. To see the progress you hold your cursor over the file you are transferring.
Not sold on DW CS6 so far to be honest...

Background File Activity Hangs

I've about had it with Dreamweaver because of this one single
problem. If I restart my system and open Dreamweaver, I can work
for a few minutes or an hour, or a few seconds, or a whole day, but
at some point along the way, guaranteed, Background File Activity
hangs during a PUT function or a Save (automatically put) function
and the resulting file on the server corrupts itself and reads a
zero length.
This is particularly annoying because it screws up my site's
styling...GRRRRR.

Just guessing here (I haven't experienced this), but does it help to rebuild your site cache? Site->Recreate Site Cache
Or, commonly these days, follow the steps for removing a corrupted cache file here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/417116
Note that it may take some time to rebuild the cache if you have a lot of files in your site(s). Perhaps longer if the local files are on a different computer (LAN).

Background File Activity incomplete

Hi all,
I don't know what I did to turn this on, but I certainly
can't find out how to turn it off !
I have a project called TestCode. Every time I launch a page
from within Dreamweaver 8
I get the following message:
Background File Activity - TestCode
File activity incomplete. 1 file(s) or folder(s) were not
completed.
Details:
Started: 21/05/2007 10:29 AM
newgrid\dbtest.asp - error occurred - An error occurred -
cannot put dbtest.asp. Access is denied.
File activity incomplete. 1 file(s) or folder(s) were not
completed.
Files with errors: 1
newgrid\dbtest.asp
Finished: 21/05/2007 10:29 AM
This occurs with every file within the TestCode project, but
I have many other projects defined and running
and I don't get this error message.
Can someone please point me in the right direction ???
Driving me nuts with the number of times this popup comes up...
regards,
Matt.

Background file activity

Am previewing from dreamweaver cs3 in Device Central. The
file is a coldfusion page (runners_mo.cfm) . It seems to display
the way I want it on the emulators, but often get a message in
Background File Activity screen that says:
"Mobile\runners_mo.cfm - error occurred - An error occurred -
cannot put runners_mo.cfm. The process cannot access the file
because it is being used by another process. "
Any ideas on what this is about? I don't see any info on
Background File Activity. And, as stated, the display seems fine.
Thanks
Keith

Nobody knows how to remove this pop-up?

Tab through the Close File dialogue window buttons?

In the past when closing a document or file (any app) I could Tab through the different 'Don't Save', 'Cancel' & 'Save' buttons on the close file dialogue window. And also hit the spacebar to select the highlighted button.
But not any more. It could have stopped working when I deleted items (cleaned up?) from my home Library folder, or maybe it happened after the 10.4.10 update?
Does anyone else have the same problem? (Can you Tab through them & hit the spacebar to select the highlighted button?) Does anyone know how to fix it?

Select "All controls" at the bottom of the "Keyboard Shortcuts" pane of "Keyboard & Mouse" System Preference. Control-F7 will also turn it on or off.

"You have to change your router's IP address to be able to access it. It will not give you the internet."
I'm not sure what that means Richard, but I did change the router's IP address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.5.1- isn't that what you meant in your first post. I know that isn't reflected in my screen capture that I took last night, but I did do that this morning after I read your post.
"Log on to your router and change two settings.
Change the setting in Setup from PPPoE to Automatic Configuration-DHCP and click on save.
Click on Advance Routing and change the setting from Gateway to Router then click on save."
I did this and still same results as far as I can tell. Can't get online through the router.
"Click on MAC address clone under setup tab ... click enable & click clone ...click save settings ... Check the IPaddress under WAN page ....
If getting IP in public range .... try going online ...."
I tried this- at least to the part about checking the IP address under WAN. I assume you mean the WAN page in the modem setup- nothing looked any different after trying what you suggested, and I'm not really sure where I would be "getting IP in public range" or what that means.
I'm about to give up and just buy a new router to see if I can get the same lack of results with a different one. My ISP maintains that everything is set up correctly on their end and really can't do anything more for me. The Modem works and is set up correctly and they can give tech support for a router.
Here's what my basic setup looks like now:

Excessive disk usage when I drag the log file viewer window (why)?

When I drag the Log File Viewer window in Gnome, I get huge amounts of hard disk usage and the hard drive makes a loud rumbling noise. This happens only while dragging the Log File Viewer window and no other windows (that I've noticed so far).
Why is this happening?

Elements11DRC
What version of Premiere Elements are you working with and on what computer operating system is it running?
Can we assume by your selected ID, that the program is Premiere Elements 11?
Pending further details, I will assume that you are working with Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
Where is this "My Videos" Folder - on a DVD disc being used as a DataDisc for video storage purposes?
If so, Add Media/DVD Camera or Computer Drive/Video Importer and from there automatically into the project in Project Assets as well as on the Timeline.
If your "My Videos" Folder is a folder on the computer hard drive, then Add Media/Files and Folders to get the video into Project Assets from where you drag the video to the Timeline.
Now for the video that you are trying to import...what are its properties
Video Compression
Audio Compression
Frame Size
Frame Rate
Interlaced or Progressive
File Extension
Pixel Aspect Ratio
Probably answered the easiest by knowing the brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded the video.
Prime interest, that video compression. It could be MotionJPEG which can be problematic for Premiere Elements. It could be AVCHD.avi which cannot be imported.
We can go into greater detail on your project details once we rule in or out any of the factors mentioned above.
By the way, what is the destination for this project....burn to disc DVD or Blu-ray...export to file saved to the computer hard drive...other?
More later.
Thanks.

I downloaded an update for my Safari web browser to "snow leopard". When I click on the .dmg file, a window opens up with a .pkg file but when I click on the .pkg file I get a prompt saying that it doesn't know what program to open it with.

I suspect if you're trying to open a file in 08 that's been opened in 09 the file has been updated to 09 and will not open in 08.

I am trying to reinstall Windows on my macbook pro. I downloaded the support files and Windows 7 iso file to a USB drive. However, when I try to run the setup.exe program I get the message "this program cannot be run in DOS mode."

I am trying to reinstall Windows (would not launch). I removed the partition and started over. I downloaded the support files and Windows 7 iso file to a USB drive. However, when I try to run the setup.exe program I get the message "this program cannot be run in DOS mode." I was successful before, what am I doing wrong this time?

Try a restart.
If that doesn't fix the problem, shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

HELP!! How to get the position of active windows in the desktop

How to get the position of active windows in the desktop

You mean, active windows other than the program you're running, or windows the program puts there? And a real desktop (like where MyComputer is), or a desktop pane?

Iphone 4 will not unlock but the same portion of the screen is active using SMS or any other feature.

Iphone 4 will not unlock but the same portion of the screen is active using SMS or any other feature. What is the issue?

It won't recognise it at all, but luckily I backed up very recently.
I've booked an appointment with an Apple store who promise a working iPhone within 10 minutes of your appointment, whether fixed or a brand new iPhone.
Thank you both for your suggestions. I'll leave the question unanswered incase people have any other suggestions or similar issues.
Cheers.
