CS4 to CS5 Manage sites problem

I have about 20 sites in the DW CS4 manages sites area, when I go to open sites in DWCS5 some of them do not show up in that manage sites folder.
Any help?
rd

Yes, I poked around and did this just before I saw your reply and it worked. What is also happening is
I have the CS4 and CS5 creative suites on my main hard drive. My plan was to go over all the new features in CS5 and then delete the CS4 versions. I notice that i get a lot of crashes as I close out any CS files. I would think this would be because of a preferences and double files and I just need to make sure now that before I delete DW4 from the drive that ALL my settings, prefs and passwords from DW4 are in DW CS5. Is there any other files I should back up before doing this?

Manage Sites problem

I have a remote server hosted site. I want the Preview in
browser to work with the remote site and I seem to have configured
it in the "Testing site" section. But when I try click F12 to test
in Firefox (say) Dreamweaver tries to open "localhost". Have I done
something wrong? It works OK when I go on with the browser in the
normal way as this goes to the internet address.
Dreamweaver 8.
Thanks.

If this site doesn't have any server side scripting such as
php or asp,
leave the Testing Server section blank, say no testing server
and no to the
access connection.
Then go into dw preferences, Preview in Browser, and make
sure there is a
checkmark in "use temp files for preview in browser"

Dreamweaver CS4 - Existing Site Name Changed in Manage Sites

Please help me! I have an existing site name from Manage Sites become slightly different site name from original.
For example, existing site name was fashionstars, now become ftp://fashionstars, with ftp:// in it. ( It happen when I did some try and error approach to do certain task, or press the wrong buttons etc) Is there any possibility to change back to original name fashionstars and how to do it? Otherwise I won't be able to upload files to remote site because of different site name appeared in Manage Sites.
Should I remove the modified site name ftp://fashionstars and recreate a new site name fashionstars and copy all exiting files from local site folder to new fashionstars?
Regards,
SSYYDD

Additional information, I use MacBook Pro to run Dreamweaver CS4. The existing site has 150 MB file size, hundreds of files, so to recreate new site name, it has to start to create all manually, will take a long time. Is there any other ways I can recreate site fashionstars without to start all over again?
I am very worry about this, it may not be able to fix it. My website is stuck, won't be able to upload files any more.
Another problem is that I lost the SITE DEFINITIONS for fashionstars or htp://fashionstars . When I go to Manage Sites to edit site of ftp://fashionstars, it goes to CONFIGURE SERVER, not the SITE DEFINITIONS for fashionstars or ftp://fashionstars. Please help me.
( note that I use the name fashionstars as an example only, not my real site name)
Thank you.

Manage Sites Dialog Box Screen Redraw Problem

Using Dreamweaver CS6.0.1 on Mac Mountain Lion 10.8.2. When I open the "Manage Sites" dialog box, certain parts of the box are not visible unless I wave or click my mouse on that portion of the screen. Really sick of this. Also text entry into design view in Dreamweaver is maddeningly slow. I've got a fast Mac Pro with an SSD and 48 GB of RAM. Seriously would like to find the answers to these problems.

I have Dreamweaver CS6 on a MacBook Air with 4GB of RAM running OS X 10.8.2, and don't experience the problems you relate. However, there are some people on Macs who have been experiencing problems with 100% CPU and slow typing. Apparently these problems have been fixed in the Creative Cloud 12.1 update. If you're not a Creative Cloud subscriber, a fix should be coming shortly. See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1100065.

DW CS5.5 "Put" cannot ftp but Manage Site Test can

In DW CS 5.5 Build 11.5, clicking on "Put" or "Get" generates the error message "An FTP error occurred - cannot make connection to the host" but at Site>Manage Sites>Server>Test, I get "Adobe DW CS 5.5 connected to your Web server successfully". Is there more than one place in DW to configure FTP? Thank you.

After not working for a week, suddenly today DW works. "Put" and "Get" both connect. The only thing I did in the interim was successfully run Site>Manage Sites>Server>Test several times over several days. I am grateful for whatever fixed the problem, but I cannot explain it. I thank those of you here who read and considered my question.

DW 8 Manage Sites Window Problem

I started an earlier thread on this and realized my question
was misleading so I started a new thread.
Let me be more accurate about what's happening. The Manage
Sites window opens fine. When I click the New... or Edit...
buttons, it takes about 20 seconds for the Site Definition window
to open. When using the Edit... button it makes no difference which
of my sites I'm trying to edit. All current sites and a new site
all go thru the same delay. The other buttons - Duplicate, Remove,
Export..., & Import... - all work normally & immediately.
I'd sure like to resolve this problem.
Thanks,
Jim

Are all of your sites on your local computer, or are they on
a remote,
shared network drive?

CS4 while Adobe fix the problems with CS5 for Mac?

If anyone from Adobe is monitoring this forum, is it possible for customers who have bought PRemiere Pro CS5 to have access to a fully functional copy of Premiere Pro CS4 while we wait for fixes to two serious bugs in the Mac release of CS5?
The problems with not being able to save project files, and the wrong aspect ratio randomly being selected when importing widescreen DV footage - discussed in threads on this forum - make CS5 unusable on a Mac currently.
thanks.

You randomly get a saved Quicktime file with the wrong aspect ratio.
Ah ha...now that I can fix for you ..if you have QT Pro.
BTW: That behavoiur is typical of QT Player and is not actually random.
Method:
Open your mov in QT Pro
Show Movie Properties (Ctrl-J)
Click on Video Track
Click on Visual Settings Tab
Un check the Preserve Aspect Ratio box
(Here is where you now need to do some math to change the 4x3 to 16:9 ratio)
Divide the Vertical Pixel Dimension by 1.78 and enter the result in the Vert Dimension box
Ensure the Preserve Aspect Ratio box is UNCHECKED
Hit Tab key and notice the image in the QT window change.
In the QT Window Menu - File>Save (SAVE is an IMPORTANT STEP)
Here is an example:
QT movie Original is 320x240
Divide 240 by1.78 ( ie. 240/1.78=134)
Bingo!

CS4 to CS5 Upgrade has install/configuration problems ???

(My system is running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit )
Awile back I purchased:
Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 (FULL version) on the Installable DVD's.
...and just recently, last week, I decided to bite the bullit, and go for the 64-bit CS5 version upgrade.
Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 (Upgrade version) -downloadable option (its cost $299.00 US)
Method 1./ Now, this seemed to be more of an installation/config issue for me. but after I ran the CS5 upgrade, it did NOT
upgrade/change any of my Desktop icons/links ?
In other words, the same old CS4 Icons were on the desktop.
Instead, I had to goto C:\Program Files\Adobe\...CS5\..., and then create a shortcut to the CS5 executable onto my Desktop?
Method 2./
ok, this so-called CS5 upgrade option obviously dos NOT work right.
So, I completely UN-installed CS4 and CS5, and started from scratch again, but this time I simply installed just
the CS5 Upgrade binaries.
Well that seemed to work fine, and it also seemed to ievennstall all the 64-bit CS5 modules, though it also created some extra CS4 directories in C:\(x86)Program Files\Adobe... ? why would it do that ?
ok, well has anyone else also experienced any of this upgrade weirdness. ?
Note: I verified my Windows 7 64-bit was up-to-date, and I also "updated" CS5, actually it updates itself.
I have also had a couple "BLUE-screenies", and crashes" in CS5, none of which, in Windows I can really tell what is going on ?, and I never had these issues on CS4 on this same PC.?
I called the 1-800 number for Adobe Technical Support and basically they said the CS5 upgrade that I purchased should have worked fine. uhmmm ya'd think eh?
So, I thought this forum might be more "aware", and/or helpful regarding my Upgrading woes.
any thoughts, would be appreciated.
Thankyou.
Rick.

An Adobe upgrade is an upgrade by price, only. What I mean is that you're buying a new, fully separate version of the Adobe software from whatever your previous version was, and upon installation, your previous version is left intact (hence the reason your icons did not change--CS4 was still installed).
An update, on the other hand (which is what the program automagically did), actually does replace files, but only in the version that you're updating. A semantic issue, perhaps, but an important distinction.
You can run CS4 and CS5 side-by-side if you like, but if you want to be rid of CS4 and maintain only CS5, you need to uninstall CS4--or preferably, reinstall from the OS up. I always like to start fresh when a new suite comes along.

Cs4 Cs5.5 Mpeg2 problems?

Recently upgraded the machines from CS4 to CS5.5 and the render results of the MPEG2s we produce have dropped considerably.
There is a lot of degradation around type and it especially shows on blocks of static pieces of solid colour.
Anyone know why this has happened and how to regain or improve on the level of quality we were getting with CS4 and unable to match with CS5.5?
The settings are idential in both instances, I run a load of tests trying multiple settings but the quality s just not there anymore.
MainConcept Mpeg
Quality; 5
Profile; Main

Multiplexer settings are:

Computers used are Mac Pro's with 2x2.26 Ghz Quad core Xeon, 8gb 1066 DDr3 ram and Nvidia GeForce GT120 running OS X 10.6.8

There is no reason for much variation in encode times by setting the bitrate a little higher or lower.

How does new/manage site work on CS5

I am designing an ebook on dreamweaver for ICT coursework. I want to know how new/manage site works because this feature is how you save your work. When I try this, I get an error message saying that 'unable to write cache file'? Am I doing something wrong? What does this message mean?

The cache file is written to the user's personal configuration folder. On a Windows system, this is is in the user's hidden AppData folder. On a Mac, it's in the user's Library/Application Support folder (also hidden on recent versions of Mac OS X).
It sounds as though you're trying to do this on a network system where the user doesn't have permission to write to the necessary folder. This question belongs more in the main Dreamweaver CC forum. If you need further help, I suggest you post a follow-up question there.

DW CS5 "Design View" Problem

I've recently migrated to Dreamweaver CS5 on a new Intel Mac from Dreamweaver CS4 on a G5.
I installed Dreamweaver CS5 for the first time on the new computer and copied my local site folders over from the G5.
I did not initially copy the site definitions file from the G5, or any of DW CS4's preferences.
When I opened one of my sites in DW CS5 on the new box, I noticed the html file could only be viewed in 'code view'- the 'split' snd 'design' buttons were grayed out, and the menu items in the "View" menu- 'view' and 'code and design'- were also grayed out and could not be selected...
I thought "that's strange.."
So to troubleshoot- first, I tried managing the sites properly in CS5 by going to the "Manage Sites.." menu item in the "Site" menu and defining those site folders on the new computer.
That worked fine but didn't cure the problem, so I copied over from the G5 all the DW CS4 prefs I could find, and the DW CS4 site def file, placing all those items in their appropriate locations on the Intel box. That didn't cure it either, so now I'm wondering- when I created those sites originally on the G5 with DW CS4, did I limit their forward compatibility by choosing to format in a particular flavor of html?

When I opened one of my sites in DW CS5 on the new box, I noticed the html file could only be viewed in 'code view'- the 'split' snd 'design' buttons were grayed out, and the menu items in the "View" menu- 'view' and 'code and design'- were also grayed out and could not be selected...
The usual reason is that you've got that file extension (e.g. .html) listed under:
Edit > Preferences > File Types / Editors > Open in Code View (based on its behavior, that should be labelled "Open only in Code View")
If that's the case, removing the file extension from the list usually fixes it.

Upgrade from CS4 to CS5.5. did not go smoothly, now stuck at CS5 - how do I fix the installation?

Hi There,
I had a lot of issues upgrading from CS4 (Adobe Application Manager crashing, installer not opnening etc) but managed to get the installer to run by using the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool to remove all traces of CS4.
However, when the installer finished, it stated there were errors and now the installers won't run - nor can I run updates from the CS apps that did install.
I've normally never had any issues upgrading, so am not sure why I had so many issues and the best way forward from here - Hoping I don't have to remove all the CS5 apps, use the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool again and start from the begining.
I'm trying to install Master Collection CS5.5 on Mac OS 10.7.2
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ben

Have had to hang up as I was calling the US using a New Zealand Mobile while in Portugal (long story) - and the 11 minute wait time would've cost the same amount as the CS5.5 upgrade!
I had to call the US because:
The New Zealand support number listed on the Adobe site doesn't work
New Zealand is not listed as a country Adobe suppoprt will call back from the "Schedule a callback" page
What a joke.
I used the Adobe Support Adviser app to analyze the install error log and it provided me with a very helpful link to a support page that states "You can ignore this error and launch the products you were installing."
Unfortunately, nothing was installed.
I need to do work while a long way from home and can't use/install any CS5 apps - does anyone know how to install CS5 in Lion?
Cheers

CS4 or CS5.5 are interface iphone and andriod apps ?

CS4 or CS5.5 are interface iphone and andriod apps ? How can i do when i make a new web site in DW with support and interface iphone and andriod apps . or we should learn HTML 5 or Wordpress for that ? Thanks !!

Thanks Jeff - ya,sorry, I should've specified. I'm running Win 7 64-bit and I have Production Premium CS4 on the system now. Ideally I would deactivate and uninstall it before I load CS5.5 Production Premium.
My only reasoning is to save on SSD space. Is there any reason to keep CS4 on the machine, other than possible problems with CS5.5?
Thanks again for your reply Jeff.

Fontproblems and fontcaches in Illustrator CS4 and CS5

Hello all,
I've been having a serious and severe problem using Ilustrator and fonts.
As this is a very complex problem to explain, I'll try to make it easy to understand.
First I'll tell you the specifications and software used:
Imac 27 inch running MAC OS X 10.6.7 with follow software:
Illustrator CS4 + Illustrator CS5, both installed
Fontreserve (running a central server and macs connect through a MAC-client) http://www.extensis.com/en/support/font-reserve.jsp
So we use an external third party fontsoftware to manage and activate our fonts used in Illustrator.
We only have the required system fonts installed on our systems.
We recently ran in a big issue concerning fonts within Illustrator.
I'll try to explain what the problem really is ...
So normally we boot up Illustrator and we activate our fonts in fontreserve.
The fonts get loaded in Illustrator. So that does work like it should.
But the problem begins when we deactivate fonts.
Font reserve does deactivate them and in Illustrator the deactivated fonts are gone or so it seems ...
After a restart, I only start Illustrator. So our client fontreserve stays closed.
I opened the job I worked on before the restart and Illustrator opens the document and loads the fonts.
You read it right, Illustrator does find all the fonts which, before the restart, were deactivated.
Where does he gets those fonts?
So I started to investigate and tried a couple of things.
1) I physically moved the fontreserve-plugin out Illustrator so it will not be loaded on startup.
That didn't fix it because Illustrator still finds the fonts.
2) I physically plugged out the network cable to be sure Illustrator could not contact our fontserver.
Sadly he still did find the fonts.
3) I used "Tweak Freak" to clear my fontcaches. I also searched for "AdobeFnt" to clean out the cache from Adobe itself.
This did not work either.
4) I tried opening the document again but this time in CS5. And guess what? Illustrator CS5 asks for all the fonts that are missing, which is correct because not one font has been activated.
Strangly enough I decided to reopen Illustrator CS4 (Illustrator CS5 still beiing open as well), and suddenly Illustrator CS4 asks for the fonts too?
A minute ago he still found all the fonts and after opening Illustrator CS5, it does not ...
So Adobe what is the connection between Illustrator CS4 and CS5?
And where does Illustrator store its fontcache?
It would be nice to run a script on shutdown te delete all possible fontcaches.
So after spending a couple of hours fixing this problem, it seems that I still don't quite understand where the problem lies.
I'm hoping you can.
As this is an urgent matter, I hope to get an answer or support as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance.

You should be able to see what files Adobe Illustrator has open by using the Activity Monitor.app application.
To do so, open the Activity Monitor application (it's in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder). Locate Adobe Illustrator in the list and then double-click on it. This should open up a new window like shown in the image below:
Switch to the Open Files and Ports tab, and it should list every open file that Illustrator is using.

Installation/uninstall issues between CS4 and CS5

I had CS4 installed. I purchased CS5 (downloaded it) installed that. When I got the disks via mail, I tried to install that version (disk version). I started having issues as to which program would open a .prproj file. Often the CS4 version of Premiere Pro opened. Not what I wanted. I eventually uninstalled CS5 entirely and then reinstalled. Then things were working fine. However, I then tried to uninstall CS4. (I have seen from numerous posts/comments to leave both on -- which I really don't know why. Doesn't make sense to keep both versions). I prefer not to have an extra 4GB of space used for programs I am no longer using. However, in doing so, the uninstall didn't appear to do a perfect job. And now I can't double-click a .prproj file. This icon is also blank white. I went into Set Associations and I can't assign .prproj to Premiere CS5. In looking at the Open With window, I notice that some of the icons for other Adobe programs are all splewy (Adobe Encore is using the CS4 icon, Adobe Illustrator is using the PDF icon, Flash Catalyst is using the Air icon, etc.)
I could: a) uninstall everything, including Adobe Acrobat Pro (which I had purchased and installed prior to CS4 or CS5) and then reinstall everything -- sheesh that would take a while; or b) I could ask my friends here to explain and guide me!

Hi Stix, Thanks.
I am not so positive that there is no difference between the download version vs the media version specifcially because in downloading the updates, the site demands you choose your update depending on how your software was installed. I figured that the download would be smaller. Perhaps you are right. And maybe it is the same, in either case, when I get a stack of disks, I tend to think there is more on the disk and the download version is merely the core applications.
Anyway, I had to uninstall everything CS4 and CS5 and then reinstall CS5. Oddly, this didn't automatically fix my problem. However, at least I was able to choose Premiere CS5 to open .prproj files and check off the box to use it as the default. (I wasn't able to before). So now it works!
