Can't find valid editor

I've just recently purchased Dreamweaver 8, and am having a
problem that I found solutions to on the internet (including this
board somewhere) - but it's not working.
I use JSP files but have a different extension - "JWQ". I've
added this extension to the JSP entry on extensions.txt - for both
the Java Server Pages and All Documents lines. I have also added
this extension to the winffileextension/macfileextnesion as well.
Dreamweaver keeps giving me the can't find valid editor. (I can
work around this by just opening it with dreamweaver - it parses
things in both code and design view).
Anything I'm missing?
Also, I have a "site" setup that when I update the template,
NONE of these files update unless I have them open. the template
updater returns "0 updates" across the site. I've worked w/ MX 2004
@ an old company I thought I had these issues resolved for future
releases, but this is driving me crazy.
Any help appreciated.

Try this, right click on the access.mdb pick open with/
browse click the
dropdown go to your programs folder find Microsoft
office/office/msaccess.exe and click open see if that works.

  • How do I get past "can't find valid dvd player" error?

    This is regarding a G4 powermac running Tiger 10.4.3
    My Sony dual layer DRX-720UL/T seems to work fine with DVD-ROM content. My kids use it for DVD-ROM games and I had no problem installing Tiger. Problem comes in when I open "DVD player" and get a "Can't find valid dvd player," error. They're connected via Firewire 400, and I've tried the USB link, just to see, but the same error comes up. I'm fairly certain that I viewed a DVD before upgrading to Tiger. The Sony is supposed to be fully mac compatiable, and even comes with Toast light 6. Again all seems to be well except for the fact that DVD player won't allow me to view a NTSC DVD. No matter how many I try.

    What drive was in this G4 prior?
    If you did not have a DVD drive, you need to use Pacifist to extract & install DVD Player.app; downloading or drag&drop won't work.
    Also, Sony drives are probably the worst when it comes to compatability; one specific model may work fine, and others not. This should be less of an issue in Tiger, but only if the problem is other than the optical drive firmware, about which you can do nothing (on a Mac), unlike Pioneer & NEC drives that have mac-based flashers available.
    If DVD Player was installed previously, based on having a DVD drive prior to Tiger install, you may want to try running the 10.4.3 Combo updater over your existing install.

  • Can't find Plist editor

    Where do I find the plist editor?
    Thanks

    I installed the Xcode stuff. I still can't find the plist editor. When I double click on a plist file it opens in TextEdit. If I say open with other, I don't find it in Applications or Utilities. I assume I'm looking in the wrong place? Why would a .plist file open in TextEdit if I have the plist editor installed?
    Thanks

  • Can't find valid destination for OS!!

    Oh dear oh dear. Our Power Mac has been dying a slow death but we didn't take the early signs to be things we should act upon and didn't know about software like Disk Warrior.
    After having trouble booting up and having the computer crash, as well as not respond to fsck -fy and Disk Utility repairs, I tried re-installing the OS. I think I may have repartitioned the drive first as well.
    On installing I think I accidentally used the wrong disk and it froze before the install was complete. It didn't recover from this so I restarted the machine and found that the hard drive had vanished and disk utility couldn't find it. I put the computer in a cupboard and said I'd go back to it.
    Having purchased Disk Warrior this week I tried to revive the Power Mac using that. I ran DW twice. The first time was so quick i wondered it I'd completed the process. The second time took ages.
    When not booting from a disk I get a Folder with a smiley face alternating with a folder and a question mark on a grey screen. I think its looking for a disk, hard drive or otherwise, I also get a image of a globe in a grey square, sometimes flashing.
    Long before the problems that now make using it impossible, the monitor also developed a solid line of pixels from one side of the other - not dead pixels because they change colour depending on what's on the screen, but a definite line. I don't know if this is indicative of anything.
    Anyway, I also ran a hardware test using DW and it said all was normal.
    I then ran the hardware test disk that came with the computer and equally, all elements passed. Which was quite a surprise as it did some funny things during testing:
    Towards the end of the memory test the screen became a complex mass of multicoloured lines forming grids and squares... the original screen flashed up showing memory passed the test and then I got green vertical lines on black, then orange vertical lines on black, followed by opaque, pale blue-purple, then salmon, then bright blue, then purple.
    The original screen flashed up showing the mac had passed the modem test. Then the screen alternated between black and white which changed by the colour moving up the screen from the bottom. Then it was thick black lines on white followed by thick white lines on black. Then the Vid Ram test was complete.
    After the hardware test passed I tried installing OS 9 as DW had said the hard drive had been rewritten and now appeared on the desktop.
    The OS 9 disk notified me that a valid destination drive could not be found.
    I tried DW again and DW couldn't find anything other than itself on the computer either.
    Any ideas on where I can go from here?

    Have you been hearing a clicking sound. If so, it's the hard drive failing.
    First try something simple. Zap PRAM. See Mac PRAM, NVRAM, CUDA/PMU & Battery Tutorial

  • Not a Valid Editor

    I just recently FTPed into a site to edit it because it uses really old coding and it's not SEO friendly. When I try to click on some of the files though, Dreamweaver says "Can't find  valid editor for this file extension." Does this mean the files were just too old for the software to be able to edit?

    What kind of file extensions do they contain?
    Typically DW can edit, .htm, .html, .shtm, .shtml, .php, .asp, .js and .xml files.

  • Can't see validations with transaction /bobf/cust_ui

    Hi guys,
    I want to change some validation attributes in my own business object with transaction /bobf/cust_ui. But I can't find validations in the entity browser. The entity browser shows only queries but no validations. With transaction /bobf/conf_ui are all validations visible.
    I need to change the "Validation Impact" Attribute. This is only possible in the cust_ui.
    Does anyone have a good suggestion for me to get all validations in the entity browser.
    Thanks
    Andreas

    Hi Andreas,
    The /bobf/cust_ui is used for enhancement.
    No validation in entity browser means there are no validations created in your own business.
    You can try to create validation in /bobf/cust_ui, then you can maintain the "Validation Impact" Attribute.
    Best Regards

  • Dreamweaver CC and Windows 8.1 - Can't Find A Valid Editor For This File Extension

    Was running the latest version with no issues and then I loaded Office 2013 .. Now when I am in the remote site and try to double click on a .cfm file, I get a dialog box..Can't Find A Valid Editor For This File Extension..
    I tried the support chat and they said Dreamweaver support was not available, try again later???
    So I thought I would reinstall the CC version and now I can see the Dreamweaver icon next to the files but still ... can't open the file..
    Any assistance would be appreciated?
    Leo

    The issue is only in Windows 8.x where when Dreamweaver CC is installed, it is not able to turn on the file type associations by default.  The workaround for now is to manually add the extensions both within Windows and then within Dreamweaver CC itself.
    Go to Control Panel > Programs > Default Programs > Set Your Default Programs and select Dreamweaver CC and then select 'Choose defaults for this program' and Select All or the extensions you want to open in Dreamweaver CC
    Start Dreamweaver CC and go to Edit > Preferences > File Types/Editors and add '.cfm .cfc' to the extensions and then add C:\Program Files (x86)\Dreamweaver CC\Dreamweaver.exe then click on Apply and Close
    That should be it.

  • DW CC: Can't find a valid editor for this file extension

    Hi,
    I am using dreamweaver cc for 1 month now. I have been having difficulty opening .asp file.
    In the File panel, when i click on one of the asp files, the error message is 'Can't find a valid editor for this file extension'.
    To solve this problem, I will right click on the file and choose Open with > Dreamweaver.
    However, this is very inconvenient. Someone pls help!

    You can configure that in your Operating System.  In my version of Windows XP, open any folder and  select TOOLS/FOLDER OPTIONS/FILE TYPES then scroll to the asp file type and select DW as the editor.

    Support for ColdFusion and other databases were removed from DWCC. You can add them back with the Legacy Extension, or adding a paid extension from DMX Zone...
    About 1/2 way down this page for the legacy extension: http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/
    It's a paid extension, but adds back a lot of the things that were removed...

  • How to switch to a different app store? I am trying to update my apps but am getting a popup that says your account is not valid for use in the uS store. you must switch to the Canadian Store before purchasing. How do I do this?  I can't find the place

    I am trying to update my apps but keep getting a popup that says "Your Account is not valid for use in the US store. you must switch to the Canadian Store before purchasing." I can not find where to do this! Please help! Thank you!

    [Apologies to pdesteele for this slight OT bit, but it's all relevant to your question, I think ]
    We do have a place in the UK which we could use as an address, but for various reasons it gets a bit complex even though we still have a UK bank account. We moved to France when there were no iDevices and apps around, just bought the occasional music, so it wasn't a problem. Funny thing is I can't even download the free UK bank app because it's not available in the French store .
    I'll live with the problem for now as we plan to move back to the UK in a year or so - we miss the weather .

  • Where can I find a user-guide for the awfull Text-Editor used to enter/edit these forums entries?

    I am desesperate to understand how quite basic functions (just as one of many examples: how can I paste text, that I have formatted in MS Word and want to paste into a Forum Post-Entry?) can be done with the primitive and awful Text Editor used to enter/edit Forum Entries. Notice, that like many other Adobe users, I am not familiar at all with HTML and it is therefore a description of the badly named "Full Editor" that I am looking for.
    Where can I find a User-Guide for this Text Editor?
    My recommendation to Adobe: exercise enough  brute pressure on the developers of this primitive Text Editor to force them to provide something more reasonable, more powerful and more intuitive.

    Thank You Jochem
    I was trying to understand how I could do things as simple as inserting text that I had previously copied. Since there are neither command menüs nor buttons for the Insert of previously copied text, I was trying a mouse right click.....and was being offered in the context menu the choice between "Insert Link", "Insert Image", "Alignement", and "Insert Table"....... but no possibility of a plain insert of previously copied text.
    Now, I realize, that Clearstream supports at least the keyword shortcut of "Ctrl V" ........that I am not using in any other software (I never use any keyboard shortcuts).
    Since Clearstream does not support reasonable choices in the contextual menus, I will need to memorize the most important keyword shortcuts.
    By the way: I detected now, that the "Ctrl V" keyboard shortcut allows me to insert formatted text.
    Even, if I will now begin to be able to use reasonably Clearstream, I am quite surprised to see that such a software provides neither reasonable Contextual Menus, nor a User Guide, nor........
    Thank you again Jochem for your patience with me.

    We tried adding certificate in trustore.jks file, but it was not successful.
    What error you are getting while importing the certificate?
    Just perform below steps once:
    Download required certificate first
    Run CMD as administrator> move to SUP_HOME\Servers\UnwiredServer\Repository\Security
    Paste this syntex.
    keytool -importcert -alias customerCA -file <certificatefilename>.crt -storepass changeit -keystore truststore.jks -trustcacerts

  • N8 Video Editor - Can't find music tracks

    My N8 video editor can't find any of the 2500+ music tracks (mostly AAC files and rare MP3s) that I have in the music library.
    It can only find 4 AAC alarm tones that I imported from my N95 8GB.
    What's wrong with it ?

    Just had this myself as well - seems there should be an icon just under the Library for Music Videos but there is not at the moment. Have not found a way to add one either.
    My solution was to simply create a smart playlist and choose the option 'video type' and set to music video. This created the list of all of my music videos.
    Hope it helps, Regards Mike
