Background File Activity takes forever

I just purchased and installed CS6 (physical media) on my new Windows 7 (64bit) pc.   I believe there was one update. For smaller sites, ftp works as it did in CS3 (on different pc with XP Pro).   I have another site that has a lot of folders/files and seems like I can't even click on the 'Test' button and it connect.   I know it works because in my cs3 version it works fine.  
Is it possible I can't import settings from cs3?   Are their known ftp issues?
Thanks.

Seems to be some confusion with the update numbering and build number provided by Adobe.
The Adobe blog http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2012/07/dreamweaver-cs6-update-12-0-1.html
says 12.0.1 is Build 5842 - which you already have.
However, DW 12.0.1 reports via Help > About that version 12.0 is installed.
The build number is the only way to be sure that you have the updater correctly installed - which you do.

  • 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.

  • 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 - 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?

  • 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,

  • 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

    Nobody knows how to remove this pop-up?

  • Sequence file load takes forever

    When I select TEST UUT, the test exec seems (to the operator) to be doing nothing.  I'll probably have to display an hourglass (different discussion forum) to give some type of indication of life.  What exactly is TestStand doing that takes so long (upto 25s) before starting the first test?  Is the hourglass the best solution, or is there a sequence file (pre/post validation) setting that I should check to improve performance.

    Hi,
    This is not normal behaviour. You need to track down where the delay is.
    Is it in the Process Model or your SequenceFile?
    Have you got search paths that are network paths or are they all local.?
    Check your Search Directories. If you have network paths and you dont need them, then delete or disable them.

  • Exporting File now takes forever

    Is it since the upgrade to FC X 10.0.7 that the exports take ages to do?  I have a 2.8 Gb movie using 466 compression and it takes an hour to transpher to desktop.
    Also, on topic:
    What is the best format or way to export to a jump drive, to send someone a movie so that they can use whatever compression they want and I don't have to wait ages to export?
    Thanks, Gary

    I do not see below Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2.
    Also, when playing to an audience with laptop to projector I hear that a DVD is not the best quality but that Apple devices 720p is the way to go.  True?
    1:  Select File->Share->Apple Devices 720p
    2:  Click Tab "Settings"
    3:  Switch "Video codec" pull down to "H.264 Better Quality"

  • Why is Premier creating 500mb project files that take forever to save

    I started a new project with Arri Amira footage, Premier Pro CC 2014 (not latest update) and it created a huge file of just under 500 mb. granted it has about 2000 clips and the LUT is being added automatically, and the footage is 4k 4444, but still i dont think the project should be so big, no?

  • Copying files on NFS shares takes forever. Any suggestions?

    I have some shares mounted via NFS, using Lion as a client. The mounting used to work flawlessly under Snow Leopard. In Lion, copying files often takes forever - the little spinning ball appears and it may take up to several minutes to complete a copy operation. The problem appears to be unrelated from the Finder - I have noticed the same when using the terminal to copy files.
    Are there perhaps some different settings I should use when mounting the NFS shares?

    Hi,
    You may try this:
    Click Start> Control Panel> Internet Options.
    Click Security tab.
    Click Local Intranet.
    Click Sites button.
    Click Advanced button.
    Enter the IP Address of the other machine or server and click Add.

  • I transferred my iTunes library from one external hard drive to another and added more music on the same day. How do I get rid of my duplicate files without going through them one by one which would take forever?

    Please help. I have transferred my iTunes library from one external hard drive to another plus added additional music now I have duplicates of the same music in many albums. How do I delete the duplicates without going through them one by one which would take forever? I understand how to get the "show exact duplicate" feature up on iTunes but, because they were added to the library on the exact day I can't seperate them I'm that manner. So each duplicate is right next to eachother in the exact duplicate screen.

  • How do I turn off background ni file activity when not using Labview? files such as nimxs.exe, nipalsm.exe, nipalsm.exe, nisvcloc.exe, nicitdl5.exe

    How do I turn off background ni file activity when not using Labview? I use labview rarely, and I also use my computer for demanding multimedia applications, including multitrack digital audio recording. I need to reduce as much background activity as possible, and taking a look with task manager I see files such as nimxs.exe, nipalsm.exe, nipalsm.exe, nisvcloc.exe, and nicitdl5.exe running even when I haven't used Labview (8 I believe). These files run even after I right click the NI icon on the lower right and turn off the application. I would like the computer to boot up without these files, and for the necessary files to be activated only when I start the program.
    Can this be done or do I have to remove labview from the system to improve performance?
    Thanks

    Hello, those processes are part of running NI services that start when Windows boots.  These processes serve varied purposes and stopping them can have undefined and unknown consiquences for your NI products.  These products run at "normal" priority meaning that they should be preempted by any process running at a higher priority which I would expect your other application to be doing given their time sensitivity.  That being said, in Windows XP (I can't speak for other OSes), you can lower their priorities even greater through task manager (right click the process»set priority) to further remove them from contention for resources.  If you want to prevent them from running you can set the service startup type to "manual" in Control Panel»Administrative Tools»Services.  Right click the process go to Properties and Under the General tab choose Startup Type»Manual.  This will start up the processes only when something directly starts it up.  LabVIEW will start these processes up as it attempts to use them.  When you shut down LabVIEW you will need to manually shut down these processes through task manager.  Again, doing this can cause problems with your NI products on your system and it is not advised.

  • File encoded with x264 takes forever to load in Encore CS 5.5

    I use Encore mostly because it takes h.264 video encoded with the x264 compressor, which provides much higher quality than any other compressor. The problem is that these files take forever to load. For example, right now I'm trying to load a video that is about 1 hour and 20 minutes long, encoded at 38 Mbps, and the file is 20.9 GBytes. Now it's 3 PM and I imported this file along with the AC3 file over an hour ago. The Encore process shows as not responding, but when I open the Windows 7 Resource Monitor, in the disk tab it shows that it's reading the video file at a rate of about 45 MB/s, so I didn't kill the Encore process. I know eventually it's going to stop and load the file, but I don't understand why it takes so long. The encoding parameters that I used in x264 are these:
    x264 --level 4.1 --bluray-compat --preset slow --bitrate 38000 --keyint 30 --min-keyint 2 --open-gop --weightp 0 --slices 4 --vbv-bufsize 30000 --vbv-maxrate 40000 --rc-lookahead 40 --tff --output "output" "input"
    This comes from a family video that is 1080 59.94i. This time these two parameters appeared because I selected Blu-ray as the target:  --bluray-compat and --open-gop, which I don't normally use, but still, even when I don't use them, video encoded with x264 takes forever to load. Does anybody here know what could be the problem?

    What's weird is last year I encoded a file that was almost two hours long and Encore took it without trouble, although it was CS5, not 5.5. Since I had kept the avs and bat files, and also the x264.exe from that encode, I brought them into the current working folder and I just modified the file names in the avs and bat files to point to the new avi and encode to the new h264 file. So I encoded this file, I imported it into Encore, and it still hangs. Maybe it was a change from CS5 to 5.1 that introduced a problem. x264 has been certified to be Blu-ray compliant since over a year ago, and I already put this file to a Blu-ray with TSMuxer, since it was a family video and I didn't really need menus, and it plays perfectly fine in my Blu-ray player.
    But I'm sure there must be something, one or two parameters that would make it compatible. For example, after encoding the file again the last time, now I can import it into Encore, and it doesn't stay frozen forever, but it doesn't show me the video and as soon as I try to move the timeline cursor it freezes and doesn't let me do anything for several minutes. So still it's not usable. But it's a change from the first encode where the progress dialog would be there for several hours and do nothing at all.

  • ITunes 11.0.4. can't locate thousands of files (they are still on the harddisk though) - is there a way to simply relocate them (without having to do it for each individual song which would take forever)?

    After updating to iTunes 11.0.4.,
    iTunes 11.0.4. can't locate thousands of files (they are still on the harddisk though).
    is there a way to simply relocate them (without having to do it manually for each individual song which would take forever)?

    Are these "thousands of files" in an iTunes library that simply cannot be found?
    If so, assuming you know exactly where they are, hold the "Option" key while opening iTunes from your dock.  You will then be given a "Choose Library" option.  Choose it and point to your library.
