Css properties panel won't allow changes

Every time I try to make a change within the CSS Properties Panel, everything disappears and will not work. I have brought this to my teachers attention, and he says I have done everything correctly, so I am completely unaware of what the issue is. On top of this, it seems like DW CC has had quite a number of problems, including it quitting itself and not being able to restart. Any help would be appreciated!

Run the validators anyway, "missing apostrophe syndrome" hits the best of us. I'm not saying your professor missed something, but it's possible.
If the code comes up clean, it may be time to move onto some general catch all troubleshooting steps...

CSS properties panel - odd problem

Recently the CSS properties panel has suddenly changed and
won't operate or display the way it's supposed to. The CSS Styles
panel is open. I've got the layout set to "Show only set
properties". When I choose a selector the properties show up below
it, however the "Add property" link is gone and there are no labels
for each property.
I've never seen this before and I can't find any option to
switch it back, in case I changed the layout by accident. Has
anyone any knowledge of this? Did I do something to change the
layout?
Thanks for any assistance.
Jeff

I am having the same problem. I even reinstalled Dreamweaver
but it didn't help. Any ideas?
Thank you.

Character Styles in CSS Properties Panel are not correct

I am using Adobe Illustator CC.
I am trying to export all of the charter styles as CSS. However the CSS panel is not generating the correct style.
Right now, in the Character Styles Panel and CSS Properties Panel I have 3 styles (Default, h1, h2)
This is how they are defined in the Character Styles Panel:
1. [Normal Character Style]:Helvectic Neue LT Std, 55 Roman, 16px
2. h1: Helvectic Neue LT Std, 25 Ultra Light, 35px
3. h2: Helvectic Neue LT Std, 45 Light, 18px
HOWEVER
When I go to the CSS Properties panel the code is not showing the Font Style:
This is how they are defined in the CSS Properties Panel:
1. [Normal Character Style]:
.NormalCharacterStyle
font-family : Helvetica Neue LT Std;
font-size : 16px;
color : #19131F;
color : rgb(25, 19, 31);
2. h1:
.h1
font-family : Helvetica Neue LT Std;
font-size : 35px;
letter-spacing : 0.53px;
color : #FFFFFF;
color : rgb(255, 255, 255);
Missing: 25 Ultra Light
3. h2:
.h2
font-family : Helvetica Neue LT Std;
font-size : 18px;
text-transform : uppercase;
color : #FCFCFC;
color : rgb(252, 252, 252);
Missing: 45 Light
Am I not doing somethign correctly? Is it a problem with my font or with Illustrator?
Also, in case it makes a difference, I only have the default paragraph style defined. It's style is; Helvectic Neue LT Std, 55 Roman
Thanks!

CSS cannot render typographical multiple weight fonts simply because that's just not how it works. All CSS does is reference a physical font file and its properties and while it's possible to use the font-weight and font-style attributes to make standard fonts lighter or bolder it does not compare to anything you would do with the font in a real design environment. That and of course you still need to define fallback/ substitution options - the Helvetica Neue you are referencing is exclusively available on Apple systems only and even if what you are trying worked off the bat, it would be useless on alternate devices that have no access to the font.

Fireworks CSS Properties panel shorthand

Hi is where any way insted of:
font-family:"Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:16px;
line-height:140%;
color:rgb(168,168,169);
text-align:left;
to have:
color: #A8A8A9;
font: 16px/1.4 "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
and same shorthand for everything else. Is where any way to edit CSS Properties panel?
P.S. I was trying http://mattstow.com/css-professionalzr.html , but in most cases its not working.

Without doing a lot research into this, I'm not sure what to suggest. I think you're on the right track by trying a tool like Matt's CSS Professionalzr. Have you tried giving him feedback on what's not working? (I do see that it's version 0.4, so it could still be a work in progress.)
Within the CSS Properties panel itself, I don't see any shorthand options. I know the panel was introduced as an add-on to CS5, so it's still a relatively new feature.
I don't know if Dreamweaver might be helpful to you here. It has options for writing CSS shorthand.
Perhaps there's a way to "wash" the Fireworks code output in Dreamweaver by resaving or editing the CSS file or something. If not, I'd do a Google search for some kind of tool that's oriented towards "CSS shorthand". There might be a converter out there.

Why the css properties panel it doesn't open?

The css properties panel in my trial version of Fireworks CS6, it doesn't open. May this be due to some limitations in trial version (which I wasn't aware of)?
Thank in advance

Cannot download ICloud to Windows 7 - receive admistrator won't allow change. I am the administrator!

I am having trouble installing ICloud on my desktop running Windows 7. An error pops saying that the Administrator has set policies that won't allow this change. Since I am the administrator, I am perplexed. Any ideas?

Check the group policy settings, you are the Administrator so you have priveleges.

Properties Panel won't refresh (Dw CS6) - Help?!

I have recently upgraded to CS6 (Creative Cloud) and am experiencing problems with DW. Namely the properties panel will not refresh when I select a given tag/element.
Does anyone know if that is a settings issue or a bug? If settings then what can I do to make sure the properties panel updates to reflect the selected tag/element?
Thanks!

Which properties panel? CSS, HTML, something else?

Imatch- won't allow change in itunes playlist?

signed up for imatch few days ago. pretty cool. get all my songs from my macbook on to my iphone4.
today i purchased more music off itunes. i went to add some songs on to my playlist on my macbook. i got a message that read something like: "imatch (?or icloud) will not allow change in playlist. if want to change playlist 'this artist playlist' will be removed for imatch and songs will only be allowed to be played on this computer".
am i to understand that once you purchase imatch, and your original music is loaded to imatch, that AFTERWARDS if you try to edit a playlist, that doesn't automatically upload to imatch? in other words, whatever you originally purchased imatch with is all you get, till your renewal for the following year? seems a bit ridiculous if you're someone like me that purchases tons of music/modifies playlists often.
anyone know?
thanks,
anthony

Thank you for your response. Yes, it very well could've been iTunes 9.
Okay, I got the first part of your workaround. I unchecked the "Automatically include" checkbox in the Podcasts tab.
However I don't see where "Include Episodes from Playlists" option is. I've checked my playlist I want to sync in the Music tab under Playlists, but I obviously need to do something else because it's still not syncing. Where do I find that?

Please help me to get my iCloud photos enabled on my desktop.

Hello,
You might not have the plugin for Firefox installed. Adobe has two different versions of Flash - one for Internet Explorer and another for Firefox. Internet Explorer uses ActiveX. You can check if Firefox has the plugin by going to:
* Tools > Add-ons > Plugins, or
* [Image: New Fx Menu] > Add-ons > Plugins
In Firefox, go to this link and Adobe should give you right correct installer:
* https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
If for whatever reason it is not choosing the correct OS for you, you can manually select Windows Vista and "Other Browsers" here:

Having trouble with CSS Properties panel

copying all from a button (example). Many properties such as gradient don't always seem to be shown in the properties and therefor not carried across to the external (DW) page? What am I doing wrong? No problem modifying CSS but shouldn't it be there?
In fact if I don't put in a border to the button only the dimensions seem to be there?

The .tif file format isn't generally recommended for web use; it's intended more for print. Historically, some browsers haven't supported the format, if I recall correctly, though many of them may do so now. (Just checked Firefox and Safari, and both seem to display the format just fine.)
It could be that Dreamweaver doesn't recognize the .tif format. (I'm a little lazy to test this theory at the moment, but it seems quite likely.) Here's one rather old thread on this topic: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/26977
Incidentally, this is straying from the topic of your original post and would have been better posted as a new discussion.

Cannot change the email address where Apple sends "help for resetting info dealing with security questions". Won't allow change.

I have forgotten the answer to one of two My Apple ID security questions. Apple has supplied the solution to that problem online in Edit Your Apple ID. I would be happy to follow those instructions, except......the only email address the Edit Your Apple ID page will allow me is one that has not been functional for over a year. There are no options for changing that recovery email address since I only have two security questions, not three, as Apple specifies. Neither can I find an option for switching to the two-stage verification process---although I would rather not do this. I recently edited my email addresses in My Apple ID on my Sony Vaio laptop in an effort to alleviate the problem, but it didn’t help. I use the Apple ID on an iPad (4th gen Wi-Fi + Cellular MM) and two iPhone 5 (IOS 8). Does anyone have suggestions? Feel that I've read through all the fine print and cannot locate an answer.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Screen saver locks up, won't allow changes

After bringing everything over from the previous iMac, went to set up the desktop and screen saver system preferences.  Desktop worked like always, but when you go to make a selection for which screen saver you want, goes into the endless spinning ball and the only way to get out of it is a force quit.
Apple help guy said to dump the com.apple. file, that worked once and then back to locking up.  Reinstalled Leopard from the Mac disk, but with the same result.  Did show up on the first boot-up but then back to normal next log in.
Any ideas?  (went to search the tip section but couldn't figure out how to get a question in)

R C-R wrote:
I'm not sure I understand the current behavior: you say it still locked up, yet that the canned screen savers now work. Can you explain?
One thing others have suggested for a similar issue is to make sure the iLife Support 9.0.3;/a> update is installed, but I'm not sure that applies to you.
Also, make sure any custom screen savers you have are not PPC-only ones.
Well, those were the three magic words—downloaded the update, rebooted, and the screen savor pref worked perfectly, just like it should!! Don’t know why this upgrade never showed up in the software update from Apple, it certainly should have.
Here’s what it was doing in more detail: The desktop side of the pref worked with no problem, but when you went into the screen saver side you could do one thing--say pick one of the canned saver and close the window. But if you went to scroll down to get to the ‘choose folder’ option and opened that up, the beechball came on forever, and the only way to close the window was a force quit, which meant you lost any changes you wanted.
Thanks for your quick replies, do appreciate it. Been a long time Mac user (1985 to be exact—what a change from the original to the new!), and one of the things I’ve always liked about the experience is the discussion forums. Hope anyone else having this problem can find the answer here by searching
