Don't see changes in Live View until after 30 second delay
Running Dreamweaver CS5.5 on Mac OS X 10.7.5
Running Locally using MAMP
Site is configured to run on a local PHP/MySQL server, and consists of a single index.php file with nothing more than an html header (I don't even have any PHP in there yet).
When I use Dreamweaver to make a change in my index.php file (such as changing the text in the header), I save it, and then go to Live View or Web Browser Preview. In both cases, it takes over 30 seconds before I see my changes in Live View or Browser Preview.
To get a better idea of my workflow:
1) My indiex.php file header reads "This is a test"... and it's correct in both Live View and Browser Preview.
2) I change the header to be "Hello World".
3) Select "Save" from the File menu.
4) Click the "Live View" button.
5) Live view still reads "This is a test"
6) Open Browser Preview, also still reads "This is a test"
7) I spam the refresh button in both Live View and Web Preview, no change, still reads "This is a test".
8) After about 30 seconds of hitting the refresh button, the change finally is visible in Live View and Web Preview, reading "Hello World".
Anyone seen anything similar? Any ideas why I'm getting such a long delay before seeing my changes? Any suggestions to fix it (besides restarting my mac?
Thanks for the input!
Restarting the computer was the obvious first thing to try, but had no effect.
I have over 2GB free memory and still experiencing the issue.
It does take a few seconds to load the Live View for the first time, but that's not my problem. My problem is that with Live View already loaded, it takes over 30 seconds after saving changes to the php file before I can see the changes in the Live View (I'm clicking the refresh button once a second, and on the thirty something time I'll finally see my changes).
With "Preview Using Temporary Files" turned off, I get the behavior I've been describing.
Turning "Preview Using Temporary Files" on does actually mitigate the issue for me, though, so thank you for that suggestion!
- I can see changes in my Live View instantly after saving and clicking the refresh button.
- I can see changes using Preview in Browser instantly too... but the browsers refresh button has no effect (which makes sense since the temporary file it's looking at hasn't changed).
- I can actually get some work done now.
However, I still feel that I should be able see my changes in Live View immediately after saving and clicking the refresh button without using "Preview Using Temporary Files", and I'd like to be able to leave the page open in my browser and just click the browser's refresh button to see my recently saved changes instantly.
So Long Story Short:
Using "Preview Using Temporary Files" has definitely helped!
But I still have no way to see my changes immediately without using temporary files, so something still seems fishy.

It doesn't seem to matter what project I'm working on... the picture in the viewer is gone. All I see is a blank (white) screen. If I put the cursor over the viewer and drag to the timeline, the clip will appear on the time line (and in the canvas) but I don't see it in the viewer. I usually edit my clips in the viewer and not on the canvas. Can anyone explain why this might be happening and how I might fix. I'm suspecting I must have messed up one of the settings but I'll be darned if I can figure out which one or how to fix. Please help!
David. Thank you very much. The problem was not with the canvas but rather the Viewer. But the solution was the same. Somehow, the Viewer window was re-set to Alpha. I changed it back to RGB.... and the picture is back. These issues are often very simple.... but they can drive you bats if you don't know the answer. Very grateful. Tim

I can take pictures but I can't see what I'm shooting until after the picture is taken. I've already had to do one hard reset which deletes all my data. Is there any other solution? Is it a glitch that would be resolved by getting a different phone?

When changing to Live View Images do not display...
Yesterday I was working on my website and it is still in the early stages so currently I have just a single image worked into my design. When I was changing between my code and the live view everything was displaying just fine. I saved my work yesterday and when I came back today I opened up the same file and found that everything appears fine in the code and the regular design view but as soon as I switch to the live view my images shows up as a tiny blue questionmark box. I have not changed any code from yesterday- the image appears to be linked to correctly because it displays without a problem in th design view. I am not sure what is going on- any help is appreciated!

Without changing anything: Live view looks fine, but "preview in browser" does not
I haven't made any changes to our website in months. When I opened my index page, I did not change anything yet, but did a "preview in browser" and my whole slideshow is missing! It's still fine on the live website, as I haven't uploaded anything. Help.... why is it doing this?

And, being embedded in JavaScript, they will not be found to be 'adjusted' by DW, even when using temporary files to preview. I'm afraid you will have to just lump the fact that they are not displaying in preview mode. -
IOS 4.3 installed but don't see changes
I've just installed the new OS and do not see any of the items they listed as new (i.e. personal hotspot, find my iphone, etc). Is there something I need to do?
Why would you want to find your iPhone on your iPhone?
'Find my iPhone' is a free App from the App Store that is a mobile version of the 'Find my iPhone' on MobileMe. With MobileMe (www.me.com) on any web browser you can see an iPhone's location if the facility is enabled in MobileMe if you know the AppleID and password. -
Checked in documents don't retain changes in AC 1.3
Since upgrading to Apple Configurator 1.3, I've noticed that documents that are changed after a supervised device is checked out don't keep those changes when the device is checked in. This was not the case in AC 1.2, where you could assign a document to a user, check out a supervised device to that user, then -- after the device is checked in -- export the marked up document (saved to iTunes) to the host computer (running OS 10.8.4) with all the changes intact.
I've looked for a thread on this problem, but with no success. Also reported the issue to Apple, but received no reply. Anyone else with the same experiences or a possible workaround?Thanks for the input!
Restarting the computer was the obvious first thing to try, but had no effect.
I have over 2GB free memory and still experiencing the issue.
It does take a few seconds to load the Live View for the first time, but that's not my problem. My problem is that with Live View already loaded, it takes over 30 seconds after saving changes to the php file before I can see the changes in the Live View (I'm clicking the refresh button once a second, and on the thirty something time I'll finally see my changes).
With "Preview Using Temporary Files" turned off, I get the behavior I've been describing.
Turning "Preview Using Temporary Files" on does actually mitigate the issue for me, though, so thank you for that suggestion!
- I can see changes in my Live View instantly after saving and clicking the refresh button.
- I can see changes using Preview in Browser instantly too... but the browsers refresh button has no effect (which makes sense since the temporary file it's looking at hasn't changed).

In Aperture 2 I could set a print quality of "high" when printing photos on an Epson 2200. Now I'm using Aperture 3 with the same printer. I don't see a similar choice and I'm getting banding issues on the prints. The photos print much too fast. How do I correct this?

Setting up Dreamweaver CS4 with PHP testing server... Live View doesnt work
Hello,
Im trying to setup Dreamweaver CS4 with a php website im
making. Ive setup the site information, and provided a testing site
(XAMPP), and i can see the fully rendered .php pages in the Live
View tab. However, say i change some of the text in the .php file
(say from <p>Hello</p> to <p>Hi</p>) and
then click in the Live View tab - the page does not update. It
seems to do something, bit just returns the same.
How do i set it up so, like with plain .html pages, you can
make a change to the source code and instantly see the change in
Live View?
(At the moment i have to make the change to the source code,
save it, click Live View to cancel it, and then click Live View
again).
Background:
Ive setup XAMPP (G:\XAMPP\)
Ive setup vhosts in apache.
Ive stored my websites in G:\Websites
Ive set the testing server to G:\Websites\site, where "site"
is setup as a vhost and correctly displays when entered into a
browser.
Ive set the url prefix to
http://site/
Ive set local root to G:\Websites\site
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.> How do i set it up so, like with plain .html pages, you

Did you try using F5 to refresh the page? If that doesn't
work for you,
then you'll have to drop and restart Live view. No need to
save and reload
the page.

Hi you guys. I am looking for some input. I am playing around with some of the new properties in CSS3. There is some really great stuff out there now that you can do with CSS3. One of the properties I am playing with is
-moz-transform:rotate(30deg); (NOTE IT IS FOR FIREFOZ ONLY)
If you assign it to an ap div, it turns that div at a 30 degree angle. Pretty cool.
But what I am finding out is, when I hit the live view button, the Live view browser does not appear to be the Firefox browser and that property is particular to firefox In other words when I click live view, I can not see the box turned at a 30 degree angle. I have to actual hit F12, to see it in my primary default browser, Firefox. I don't want to have to hit f12. I want to be able just click the live view and see the page as it would be seen in a FireFox browsers. Is there anyway I can change the browser live view renders in?
Please let me know. Thanks for all your help.
-moz-transform:rotate(30deg); /* Firefox */
#apDiv3 {
position:absolute;
width:200px;
height:115px;
z-index:4;
left: 394px;
top: 78px;

Hello, Thank you for your quick reply.
I did try changing the property to a webkit property and live view did display it then, however I want live view to display the Mozilla Firefox property.
There must be some way to change that live view browser from webkit to firefox, don't you think? Let me ask you this, how did you find out that dreamweaver live view uses web kit. Was it in the help manual? or did you just figure it out by process of elimination?
Adobe has openly said in blogs and in the release notes that the Live View uses the Webkit engine. This was primarily targeted because of how they were perceived as being slow and hanging onto Flash. Webkit is the engine that powers Safari and Chrome on the desktop as well as iOS and Android on the mobile front. Unfortunately, because of how Webkit is tied into DW there is no way to "swap out engines". Believe me when I say, Mac users would have loved to have been able to "swap in" the IE rendering engine and Windows users could say that as well with the IE6, IE7, IE8, IE9 and IE10 engines (the last 2 are the least problematic).
If you are truly developing for CSS3 and cross-browsers, using the -webkit and -moz prefixes in addition to standard CSS3 is recommended since IE falls under neither prefix, and the same should go for Opera as well. While it may seem bothersome, I can assure you it is no where near as bothersome as HTML5 video where the big players (Apple and MS) currently support the proven MPEG-4 video technology whereas Firefox currently supports Ogg and Chrome wants to move from MPEG-4 to its own propriety format WebM. So not only in this case do you need extra code in your pages but you need to re-encode your video multiple times.
So the short answer is that it's best not to develop for just one browser. It will be a bad habit that will be hard to break. -
Cannot edit using DW in live view.
Normally I write exclusively using an IDE in plain code, but have to deal with some HTML email designing and it is easier to develop these in a GUI editor. This is a plain HTML document, no javascript, no attached CSS even. It's all structurally correct to the declared doctype as well.
Whenever I make any edit in live view, even something as trivial as adding a space or a comma, I get an error: "Couldn't commit the changes made in live view. Refresh the live view and try editing again." No matter what I do, the same error occurs.
I am able to edit in the code section of split view or just plain code. This error only happens in live view.
I searched all over and can't find any help on this error. There's no further information in DW, just the above error message, which is more or less worthless from a debugging perspective. What's equally frustrating is Adobe decided that in the event of this error, they would just revert any changes that I've made to the document. I found this out after typing around 800 words which were irrecoverably erased, absolutely ridiculous error handling.
Anyway, this is a brand new installation of Dreamweaver CC. This is the only document I've ever loaded into it. I've also tried restarting and have made sure the document wasn't open in another program or locked or something similar.
System info.
Win 7 _64
Ton of RAM
i7 3.6 Ghz processor
All of my other creative suite apps work fine.I haven't seen that error yet (Live View Editing is still pretty new in DW), I don't really like the Live View Editor though due to all of the functionality Adobe forgot to add.

EOS 6D zoomed remote live view sharper??
Hi,
I've got this Canon Zoom lens EF 70-300mm on my EOS 6D, connected via EOS Remote Utility on my Macbook Pro running MacOS 10.9.1. Everything is working great, and I'm really impressed by the level of details I can achieve by zooming on the moon:
I thought, that looks really amazing! Imagine what the shot will look like when I snap the actual photo with these settings. And then I obtain this. This is a comparison of the screenshot from Live View-Zoom View (left) and the actual shot (right):
I tried changing the image quality (I tried RAW) to no avail. I don't know where the loss of details comes from, I was wondering if anyone here had any insight on this or ran into similar problems.
Thanks,
Michel
Solved!
Go to Solution.I'm very interested in learning why this soft focus occurred. What comes to mind is that the camera's autofocus changed the focus as the shutter was snapped. So I'm going to focus on that. 8-) What was the Live-View image after the shot? Was it as clear as the pre-shot version? In other words if autofocus chagned the focus during the shot that should be the focus of the Live-View image after the shot. At least I think that would be the case.
I have had a 6D for about a month. There has been a lot of discussion online about this camera not having good autofocus performance. I have noticed that autofocus performance is poor in low light. Maybe this is an example of that.
I have had good success with manual focus using Live-View zoomed/magnified to X10.
It looks like the autofocus was in "quick mode". Does the EOS Utility support Flexizone AF? You could try that. Another thing to check is the AF point. Was your focus point set on the moon? -
When I type a link to a page in my root directory in code view and I click on the link in live view it does nothing. When I then go to preview in a browser it works fine. Can anybody help?
I am not sure however I suspect live view is for viewing the page you are working on. You would have to open the other page to see it in live view. The browser on the other hand is doing what it is designed to do. I jump back and forth all the time from live view to the browsers I have installed.

Internal Server Error; Live View not working...please help:)
I am a beginner doing a tutorial through David Sawyer McFarlands' "CS5: The Missisng Manual. I have MAMP set up and working fine. I just got through doing a tutorial on editing a recordset and linking to a Detail page. I have used Live View just a few minutes ago and it was working fine. However I just tried to click live view again after completing this part of the tutorial and a pop up box says "dynamically-related files could not be resolved because of an internal server error". I have no idea what this error could be. When I type http://localhost/ in my browser it shows a file on the dynamic website we are working on called cosmo_shop. But when I type http://localhost/cosmo_shop the screen goes blank....Can someone help me with this???

Nobody else is likely to have any idea what the error is without seeing the code of the page you're working on. However, you might find Why is my PHP page blank? in the Dreamweaver FAQ points you in the right direction.
