Cannot Check Out files in DreamWeaver 5.5

I have several websites hosted by the same company. Now when I use DreamWeaver 5.5 to visit these sites, I can see the files on the server and I can see my local files. But when viewing local files, I need to be able to Check Out files, edit them, save them and then check them back in so they get uploaded to the server.
In my current state, the Check Out File(s) icon is grayed out.
Thanks!

Go to Site > Manage Sites and choose the one you want to add Check In/Out to.
Go under the Basic tab and hit Next until you get to "Do you want to enable checking in and checking out..." switch the radio button to Yes.
Note: this is how you would turn it on in DWCS4, I'm assuming 5 isn't much different.

  • Editing XMP metadata in Bridge for checked-out files?

    Our custom connector does not implement the WRITE_XMP_METADATA Capability because we do not want to change the XMP of a file in our DAM system without checking in a new file version.
    However, when a file is checked out through Adobe Drive, we would expect to be able to edit its XMP metadata in Bridge just like we can for local files.
    It looks like this is still not possible with Adobe Drive 3, i.e. if your connector does not implement the WRITE_XMP_METADATA Capability you cannot edit XMP for checked out files either.
    It seems weird that you can edit XMP metadata for checked out files with regular CS applications but not with Bridge. Is this something that is expected to be fixed in a future version?
    Thanks

    In our design, editing XMP data in Bridge and in regular CS applications is different, the former one will be routed to SetXMPHandler in you connector, in the latter case, CS applications take the normal file writting ways to embed XMP data in the file content.
    The purpose of this design is to offer similar user experience for normal users when they edit XMP data for AD assets and local file assets, they don't need to check-out files first.
    To address your issue, I think you can add some codes in SetXMPHandler to auto check-out files before real XMP operation, and check-in them before exiting the handler
    We will consider to make some enhancements for this part, that's, to allow editng XMP data for the checked-out files in Br, in the next release, thanks for this advice.

  • How to handle check-out files of users that are no longer with the company?

    We have cases that files were checked out and modified, but the engineers left before they check-in the files. What's the right way to handle such cases? Does the project admin have right to check-in for the engineers? How can we make another person to
    check the files in?

    Hi Peter, 
    Thanks for your post.
    Do you want check-in that files within the changes which that left engineer created to TFS Server? If yes, you need logon that engineer’s client using his account, then get modified files on this client and perform check-in.
    If you don’t need that changes which modified by that left engineer, just the check-out files on this client caused other users cannot work on that files, you can ask the team project admin user to perform
    tf undo command on that files to resolve this checked-out issue. 
    For example, the files be checked-out under workspace1, so execute this command “tf undo $/xx/xx(file path) 
    /collection:collectionURL /workspace:workspace1 /recursive” to undo it

  • Select Checked Out Files

    In the Files panel, if I use the option "Select Checked Out
    Files", Dreamweaver will always crash (I just tried out and am
    waiting for DW to fall apart).
    Does anyone know how to overcome this (yes, without ditching
    DW)?

    I am having the same trouble with DW CS3. Any ideas?

  • Out of memory errors when reporting on checked out files

    My Dreamweaver CC version is up to date. I haven't been able to complete a report to find checked out files. I can see it running at a speed of about 2 files per second. We have a few thousand files on the web server, but I didn't have a problem with CS5.5. I can't understand why it takes so long to simply search for .LCK files. I can search for them using Agent Ransack in a matter of seconds. I've seen some other out of memory issues posted here too, so hopefully Adobe can get this fixed and release the next update soon.
    (I haven't seen any improvement in performance with the 64-bit re-engineering.)

    Hi AdobeJobie,
    We would like to investigate your case. If you have a purchased version of DW, send me your Adobe ID, location, and contact details (email, phone number) over a private message. Click my picture and use the message option.

  • Cannot play MP3 files in Dreamweaver CS4

    Hi
    Apogogies if this has been asked before.
    I have an embedded MP3 file on one of my DWCS4 pages but when I try to play it from the Properties Inspector I get the message "Unable to find the plugin that handles this media type".
    The sound file plays OK in Firefox and IE but I would like to be able to test it in DW. I have the currrent version of Apple QuickTime Pro installed.
    I am using both Windows XP and Vista with the same problem.
    Is there a plug I can download for DW only in order to play these files without resorting to converting the MP3 to another format.
    Any help would be much appreicated.
    Thanks
    George

  • CVAPI_DOC_CHECKOUTVIEW - how to check´out files to a SAP directory

    Hello,
    I have an issue with understanding and providing the FM CVAPI_DOC_CHECKOUTVIEW to check out files from KPRO to a SAP directory.
    I use CV120_KPRO_CHECKOUT to checkout files to local PC and this runs fine, but not for checking out files to SAP directories. So I found the API.... FM.
    But I am confused about the data required to run the FM CVAPI_DOC_CHECKOUTVIEW . I tried several times but it does not work either for check out to clnt nor to SAP server.
    Parameters for DOKAR, DOKNR, DOKVR and DOKTL are clear to me. PF-CONTENT_PROVIDE is CLNT for PC check out and SRV for Server checkout. But what about the rest?
    I am not sure how to provide the tables and the fields PF_FTP_DEST / PF_HTTP_DEST / PF_HOSTNAME and the PS_API_CONTROL.
    Can anybody help me with the required import data.
    Best regards

  • Question about deletion of checked out file using CMIS connector

    When testing file deletion with Adobe Drive connected to an implementation of CMIS server, I ran into some mildly unexpected behavior for when the file is checked out.
    I successfully checked out a file through Adobe Drive then deleted the file. Our server has a constraint that checked out files are protected against deletions, renaming, and moves. So, I was expecting the operation to fail. Instead, the result was that the file had its check out canceled.
    In the AtomPub binding, a cancel check out is specified by deleting the pwc version of the the checked out file. So, this behavior did not strike me as too far off my expectations and I confirmed that the objectid in the deletion request sent by Adobe Drive was the id for pwc version of the file.
    Is this behavior intentional? Or is this an artifact of the way Adobe Drive caches the objectid of files? Check out requests do return an objectid and that objectid is that of the new pwc version of the file. So, the later behavior would not surprise me.
    Thanks

    Hi,
         Yes, this behavior is intentional.
         To bypass the possible constraint during deleting a checked-out file, Adobe Drive intentionally try to cancel check out this file by deleting the pwc version of the checked-out file.

    Gang

  • User has deleted checked out files

    A user has deleted the local roboholp project folder with checked out files. (Robohelp HTML Version 9.0)
    The files are published as a webpage so the content is in HTML files - is there a  way to get the content back in Robohelp?
    And how can I check-in her files (there is not option in Source Control (Version 3.1.), although I have administrative rights)
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi there
    Not sure about RoboSource Control, but typically a source control application allows one to "Get latest version". The files should still be in the source control database, albeit with a status of "checked out". So you should be able to recover the project by simply getting the latest version. Not sure about how to go about forcing a check in from the user account that is no longer there.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Select Checked Out Files Within Folder

    So if I right-click on a folder and choose Select->Checked
    Out Files it looks on the whole site for files that are checked
    out. The same is true if I have it look for files modified in the
    last x days. Is it possible to select only the files checked out
    from a particular folder?
    My site is quite large and I often work on a folder at a
    time. Other editors may be changing other files, so I don't want to
    check in the whole folder in case I haven't downloaded their
    edits.

    I am having the same trouble with DW CS3. Any ideas?

  • What's the function of "Manage checked out files" in library settings?

    hi there,
    can anyone tell the function of "Manage checked out files " in library settings? it seems the place to manage all the checked out files in that library. but i can't see any one there. thanks in advance.
    allan

    Hi,
    The checked out files page will only show files which have no checked in version. It is a way for a library administrator to clean up a document library. Imagine you created a new document that was only checked out to you and had no checked in version. It wouldn't show up in list views for anyone else. You have to go to that page to delete this document.
    If you want to see all the checked out files in your library, you can create a new view and filter the view by “check out to” column (“check out to” column “is greater than or equal to” give a value like character A)
    Hope it can help you.

  • Cannot check out XE APEX homepage

    I installed Oracle XE on Windows XP Pro. Right after the installation. I could check out the APEX homepage and manage the database at http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex
    But, after I restarted my computer, I cannot check it out anymore. Firefox says, problem loading that page, and this is the message in Firefox:
    The connection was reset
    The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
    * The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
    moments.
    * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
    connection.
    * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
    that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
    I fixed the installation by re-running the installation executable. But, again, after I restarted my computer, I cannot check out this APEX homepage.
    Any idea? Thanks.

  • Editor cannot 'check out' InCopy file

    I'm a novice in InCopy but am learning the ropes, however, am having a problem that I can't figure out. The editor who needs to open/edit the InCopy file says she can't check it out. I don't know what to tell her. She has the .icma and .icml files and I don't see a problem on my end. Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    The problem:
    When a Windows InCopy user opens an .indd file the assignment panel shows all InCopy stories to be unavailable or "checked out". The Mac InCopy and InDesign users all see the same stories as available to be checked out.
    The solution:
    When the stories are being exported to InCopy files from within InDesign on a Mac, the files extensions were being selected (and deleted) when the files were being renamed. When everyone is on a Mac, this is not a problem.
    Don't select the file extension. By default the name, not the extension (.icml) will be selected. Just type your new name and all is good.
    Hope this helps someone out there.
