Download of an Existing Site Results in Locked Files in Local Site Folder

Newbie question running DW on a Mac --
Running Dreamweaver CS6 on new MacBook Pro OS 10.7.4.
Need to revise a site I had been maintaining with Contribute 4 -- have to use DW CS6.
Succeeded in downloading the whole remote site with minimum issues, but when I start to edit from the Local Site, I find all of the files locked.
Can I just change the permissions with Get Info, or is this a Dreamweaver lock requiring special actions?
thanks

How to change the path for a file download? Sometimes, I want to save a file in a specific folder in my hard disc and I don't know how to do it. Thanks.

There is a default folder for the download of files from the internet ("Descargas" or "Downloads"). But, what can I do if I wish to save the file in another location of the hard disk?
Thank you.

Use about:config and filter on browser.download, you'll see them

ITunes (10.5.2.11) locks up when trying to download from iTunes U site Madingley Lectures.

iTunes (10.5.2.11) locks up when trying to download from iTunes U site Madingley Lectures. The problem is repeatable on two different PCs running the same version of iTunes. I never previously had problems downloading presentations from this site. Any ideas?
Both PCs are running Windows 7 fully up to date with patches.

Duncan,
I successfully downloaded the latest edition by going to the Store area. It took around 10 minutes. iTunes behaved fine and indicated the progress of the download.
However when I try to download another lecture via the iTunes U option within iTunes, the software freezes.
There is no progress bar and I can't change focus within iTunes. The only option I have is to kill the process from the Task Manager.
The lockup occurs almost immediately after I click on the Get button.
In previous months the downloads worked fine.
Thanks for your assistance

Download an existing site

All the tutorials I have found have dealt with creating new
sites and publishing them. I have a site already on the internet
that I want to work on with DW. I have been unsuccessful at
importing it using DW and it won't synchronize with the existing
site if I simply FTP my old way. Kind hearted suggestions would be
appreciated...
Ginia

Ignore what you've been told.
1. Define a site in DW (refer to Help (F1) to learn how to
properly define a
site).
2. Connect to your (remote) site.
3. Get (DW term) the site.
If you follow DW's instructions and define your site
correctly this will
work perfectly.

Can't get Firefox to load at all after trying fixes from support web site. Have checked for lock file, processes running, reboot, reinstall. NO JOY.

I'm running Vista for operating system on an HP laptop that's about 2 years old. I've installed all current updates.
I've always used Firefox. It started crashing and creating processes but not launching. Went to support and scoped it out -- there was a lock file my profile directory. I deleted it, and Firefox started loading.
Used it a few times -- closed the app each time on exist as per suggestions on support site info. One time -- back to square one, wouldn't load, just created a process. Reboot, ending process, checking for lock file, reinstalling -- all unsucessful.

Below is from using a SIP build. It does offer G722, but it's way down on the list so it's never used...
m=audio 32678 RTP/AVP 0 8 18 102 9 116 101
a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000
a=rtpmap:8 PCMA/8000
a=rtpmap:18 G729/8000
a=fmtp:18 annexb=no
a=rtpmap:102 L16/16000
a=rtpmap:9 G722/8000
a=rtpmap:116 iLBC/8000
a=fmtp:116 mode=20
a=rtpmap:101 telephone-event/8000
Taking Sreekanth's suggestion to try a Skinny build, I get the following when I make a call. It offers codecs in the order I SET THEM AND ONLY THE CODECS I SET! YAY!
m=audio 19374 RTP/AVP 9 0 101
a=rtpmap:9 G722/8000
a=fmtp:9 bitrate=64
a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000
a=rtpmap:101 telephone-event/8000
Using a Skinny build on the phones also solved other issues. The phones use G711 when the whole path supports G711 and G722 when the whole path supports G722. It doesn't always use G722 and rely on transcoding for the call paths that can't use it. It's fantastic.. The phones also receive the QoS tagging that I set and that seems to result in better audio quality than on the SIP builds, which never did get those settings. Finally, it even solved a slow Exchange 2013 answer issue I have been experiencing for quite some time. I practically fell out of my chair when I saw everything that was fixed just by switching...
Cisco, PLEASE FIX YOUR SIP BUILDS! It's insane how the SCCP builds work perfectly and the SIP builds don't, especially with how much these phones cost.. I was thinking of possibly acquiring some 9951s, which are SIP only. I'm a little leery about that at this point. If they have the same kinds of issues as the SIP builds for the 7975g, there's no SCCP alternative to use..
Sreekanth
Thank you for suggesting a Skinny build.. That was about the only thing I didn't try. I am happy beyond belief that this is working so well now, even though the SIP builds should be just as well developed as the SCCP ones.

Edit Existing Site With Dreamweaver

Im sure this question has been asked 100 times but how do I edit an existing site (published and on the web) with Dreamweaver CS5.5? I took over as webmaster last month at a company and would like to edit the companys website. How do I download the files off the web? I can do it with Contribute but not Dreamweaver.

Create a local site folder in DW. Site > Manage Sites > New.
Go to Advanced > Remote info and enter your log in-details (FTP, host URL, username, password).
Test connection to server.
Then GET files from server.

Is there a way to have files available for download on your iweb site?

Ok here's the question. If I wanted a image file or music file to be available for download on your iweb site.....would that be possible?
Kind of like when you go to a website and sometimes it has a link you can press to download a file. If you click the file then the "save as" or "download" window opens depending on your browser.
Is something like this available on an iweb site? If so then how would you create something like that? Any help would be appreciated.

audiophiler,
There are two ways to link to files with iWeb. The approach that iWebFaq outlines results in iWeb making a copy of the file in question and storing it in the domain.sites file. Then, when it publishes your website, it puts a copy of the file in the right place in the folders it publishes. Visitors to your site then download that copy.
You are correct that you can put things in your public folder of your iDisk for download. But the process of linking to those files is different. When you set up the link in iWeb (using the inspector) you need to choose "external link" and provide the url of the file in question.
For more background on the differences between these approaches, and the advantages of each, see this thread. That thread also has some good links for sorting out what the url of the files in your public (and other) folders of your iDisk are.

How can we transfer product attributes from an already existing site? We have thousands of items and it would be tedious to do them one at a time. Is this possible through a CSV?

How can we transfer product attributes from an already existing site? We have thousands of items and it would be tedious to do them one at a time. Is this possible through a CSV?

There are two parts to this:
1) It may be that you should have an Apple Education Support person helping you with this. If you have enough computers for this to be a problem, you may benefit from a Server, a site license, and an occasional visit from an Education Support Specialist.
2) The brief answer, if you want Individual Apple_IDs to control each computer, is to buy new copies of Mac OS X under those new Apple_IDs and re-download and re-Install. Mac OS X is customized to the Apple_ID before it is downloaded.

Problems trying to manage an existing site in DW

I'm coming from FrontPage to DW. I always edited my website on the server. I can't get DW to do that and I wasn't able to get DW to download my existing website to my computer so I downloaded it using Frontpage. I know can edit the local copy of my website in DW but can't get DW to see my remote files. I did set up the remote section when I defined the local site and when using the test connection button I get a message saying DW connected successfully however all I see in the folder tab is a folder icon with no name and no files.

I'm coming from FrontPage to DW. I always edited my website on the server.
Don't ever do that! If you mess something up on the server-side you could be stuck with no viable backups to recover from.
Do your editing of site/pages within your locally defined Site in DW. When you're happy with the previews on all major browsers then, and only then, upload (PUT) to server.

Integrate Tribevita template into existing site

Hi all
I am going through the pleasure of integrating a new Tribevita template into an existing site ie so the crucial sales data etc is maintained. From my research, this is a bit of work and basically it seems you are copying various parts of the new template into the current (old) site.
I gather the process of integrating a new site involves:
1. Recreate the folders, web app layouts, forms, content holders, photo galleries etc from the new template, into your existing site.
2. Change the relevant ID's in the html in the new site, so they match the ID's of those just created in step 1
3. Then.... ftp all the new template's pages, assets, css, files etc into the OLD site....and in theory you will have your new & improved website all while maintaining all that traffic and sales data.
The new template site is a reponsive site from Tribevita - Flora Design, so I don't know if that will have any issues moving across to the old site. Has anyone gone through this process and can you give me any advice on things to look out for and if the above the correct method to do this changeover.
Many thanks.
David

Hi Buzzvick - glad you messaged me as I've been meaning to let you know but couldn't find this thread.
OK it did go smoothly but here's what I learnt.
First make sure the template you bought is almost EXACTLY what you want. Ie products display the same as you want them to, search pages etc work how you want to. Find one that you would be happy to use as is just with minor changes like colours.
Create your template on a test site. Write down your login details as you will refer to it often. FTP copy this new site.
FTP copy your new site again and save it as a working file (e.g NEW SITE - Working file)
Create all logos and banners in the sizes you will need for new template.
FTP copy your old site - save it as ORIGINAL SITE and lock it in your files.
FTP copy you old site again and save it as working - use this to compare the files for when you upload the new template
FTP copy your old site once again and save it somewhere else just in case you need it!
copy your products and customers for backup
do a sync if you are using onesaas etc
I also printed all invoices from start of BC / made sure I had a foolproof backup
Create a new start page and say you are doing updates (if you are tackling it all in one day)
(I was recommended to check duplicate scripts, css, images, templates etc but I realised this would take hours / days so skipped it and bit the bullet - If i had more time I would have but as I was prepared for our site (=my site) to be offline and have customers call if problems I jumped right in).
FTP across the template to your website - I used the 'working' file and deleted files on my computer once I had uploaded them so I new what was still to be done.
Update the template and page module numbers etc (I used a script from BC Gurus that showed the module ID numbers next to it - message me if you need it).
Screenshot the NEW template (on test site) and also OLD template ID numbers (using script above) and print it out - this will save hours as easy to cross compare.
If the menus don't show - which ours weren't - RECREATE them... this took me 2 hours to work out why they weren't showing as I just duplicated them and it didn't work!!
Now change over page templates - start with unpopular pages like about us etc
Using firebug fix up any styling etc and update css.
I also removed / delete all my old styling sheets and just kept the new template one (hence your site might look a bit fuzzy so make sure you do it on a crappy sales day or with the maintenance page loaded)
- I used FTP with my new template file in one screen and current site in the other screen and deleted anything that wasn't in the new template (make sure your original site backup is on file).
Check all categories, pages etc - e.g update home page etc
Check ipad / iphone versions (I use firefox web tools that resizes screen as our new site is responsive)
Make site live (remove maintenance page)
Pretend you are a customer and sign up for your newsletter, sign up for access / do an order. TEst it all.
Add in all Google analytics and trackings.
Update your SEO info e.g title tags - I went page by page through my old site templates and copied any SEO or scripts I'd need and saved it in word
Recheck site again - Pretend you are a customer and sign up for your newsletter, sign up for access / do an order. Test it all again.
Recheck site again from other browsers - Pretend you are a customer and sign up for your newsletter, sign up for access / do an order. TEst it all.
I also kept a notepad handy and highlighted all the above once done. I also wrote down anything little that needed to be changed and kept going on the above. If you start fixing little things as you go you will never finish. I employed my 90% principle - get 90% done then do the remaining little 10% once 90% is up.
And good luck! It took me from 8am Saturday morning to 5.30am the Sunday morning - so almost a good 24hours! Luckily I'd had a super early Friday night (no life that weekend!) and did it from my home office. So I'd recommend only conquering it when you can pull an all nighter so the site is done.
Hope that helps

Dreamweaver CS6 will not recognize existing site definition files

Neither does CC, naturally. These are sites I haven't edited for about a year. I can't find any information about reloading sites by importing the contents, only by opening the STE files... which in this case, won't open.

Are you attempting to simply open the .ste, or are you going to Site > Manage Sites > Import?
If you are tring to import them correctly (second option above) and they aren't importing, the .ste files may be corrupt. To create new site definitions from your existing content...
1. Go to Site > New Site
2. For the "Local Site Folder" browse to one of your current site folders on your HD
3. Add a server and FTP credentials obtained from your hosting company (if you don't have them)
4. Save
5. Repeat for each site
EDIT: If you don't have the site's files locally, do the same as above (setting the local site folder to an empty folder on your HD) and, once you add the FTP info, click the Get button (down arrow) in the Files window to download your entire site onto your machine.

Can I load an existing site in iWeb?

I have a website that I put together with an old program I can't use in OS Leopard (wouldn't want to anyway). I want to start using iWeb to work on my web pages. Can I load the pages of my site into the iWeb program to edit? How do I do that? Thanks.

No, iWeb can't open, edit, or import an existing site.

Contribute CS4 on Windows 7 64 bit - Attempting to edit existing website results in a blank page

Hi,
I am an IT Tech and not an Adobe Contribute user so my apologies in advance for wrong terminology.
I just installed a new Windows 7 64 bit PC for a client and installed their copy of CS4 Contribute.
When they attempt to edit their website the page being edited ends up blank. We can't work out why.
The same software was on an Windows XP PC and is the same website that they could edit previously without any problems.
Can anyone assist with settings or advice on potential incompatibility issues?
Thanks
Chris

This one is most likely related to permissions - Contribute simply does not have access to write the temporary file, but still attempts to anyway (resulting in a file being created / cleared on the server, but no actual information being written to the file).
This still appeared to be a problem even when running the application in Administrator mode.
I may get flamed by the super security-concience techs, but this worked for me:
Find the location of the temporary site / draft folder (default is C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Adobe\Contribute CS4\en_US\Sites)
Select the folders in the "Sites" folder
Right-click one of them and go to "Properties"
Click the security tab and click "Edit"
Add the user "Everyone"
Select the "Everyone" user and check "Full Control"
Hit OK, then OK again
I can't guarantee it will work, but see how you go.
Thanks
Dan

How to install and use a plug-in downloaded from the apple site?

how to install and use a plug-in downloaded from the apple site?

Emelie,
which plug-in do you want to install?
some of the plug-ins come with an installer on the disk image, you click the installer and it will install it in its proper location.
For others you move the plug-in into to System Library or your User Library:
Your Hard disk > Library > Application Support >Aperture > Plug-Ins > Edit
or
Your Home Folder > Library > Application Support >Aperture > Plug-Ins > Edit
If it is an "Edit" plug-in, it goes into the "Edit" subfolder, "Export" plug-ins into the "Export" subfolder.
You can tell by the extension, what kind of plug-in it is.
E.G. BorderFX.ApertureExport is an export plug-in, BorderFXEditPlugin.ApertureEdit an edit plug-in.
Regards
Léonie
P.S. In OS Lion the Libraries are hidden by default: To reveal your User Library activate the Finder and select from the main Finder menu:
    Finder > Go , then hold down the ⌥-option-key, untill the Library appears in the drop.down menu.
To show the System Library:
     Finder > Go > Go to Folder
then enter   / Library

I'm trying to sync a 4s so that it can be activated w ATT...my computer says that I need to have 11.1 or higher in order to do that but when I download from the itunes site nothing happens and I still can't sync phone...what am I doing wrong?

The screen that says "Download Now" also shows the proposed iTunes version number (in the box below):
Be sure it indicates 11.1.3.
