Dreamweaver 8 has stopped updating links properly

I am using Dreamweaver 8 on a Mac to maintain our site (www.local-history.co.uk) which sits inside a folder labelled WWW on our ISP's server. Recently I've updated the design and coding of the site, and while I was building the new site I uploaded it to a folder called LHO inside the WWW folder so that I could see it live. LHO didn't appear in any of the paths on the site. I used 3 templates for the site which had links to CSS files using the path ../Multiflex/css/appropriateCSSfile.css. I created all the pages on the site using the templates and in all cases the paths were saved correctly, depending on whether the pages was in the root folder or in a sub-folder.
Once I was satisfied with the site, I uploaded it to the root folder on the server (WWW) and deleted the site in the LHO sub-folder. It all appeared to be working well, until I created 3 new news pages (one of which is www.local-history.co.uk/news/090511MuseumNights.html) and added links to them on the latest news page (www.local-history.co.uk/latestnews.html). I previewed the news page in a browser, Firefox, and it appeared fine, but when I previewed the latest news page and clicked the links to the news pages I had created, then it was obvious that the CSS code had not been applied. When I looked at the path to the CSS file which had been saved I found it was /Multiflex/css/appropriateCSSfile.css. When I uploaded the pages they appeared to be using the appropriate CSS code, although the top of the page graphic wasn't showing.
I can only assume that this is happening because I moved the site to the root folder WWW, but I don't understand why. If anyone has any advice about this I would be very grateful to hear from them!

Here are the links to the stylesheets on that local news page -
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen,projection,print" href="/Multiflex3/css/2column_setup.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen,projection,print" href="/Multiflex3/css/2column_text.css" />
You are being confused by a) not understanding root relative vs document
relative links, and b) not understanding how DW previews files.
If I have a document with a link to an image that looks like this -
<img src="/images/foo.gif"...
That's what's called a root relative link.
If I preview that document in DW, then the browser gets the document, sees
the leading "/" and reads that as the root of the hard drive, since the
browser has no idea where the root of the site is. Thus, the image is
broken in the preview.
If I have temp files enabled, then DW will secretly convert the file being
previewed into a temporary file, and hand that to the browser. This temp
file has had all root relative links converted to document relative links
(as you will see by looking at the code in the browser), and has had all
include files actually embedded in the page, and has had all external CSS
and js markup embedded in the page. In other words, DW has made the
document into a stand-alone page.
If you do not have temp files enabled, all of these links would be broken on
preview.
Now - if you are using root relative links, AND you have temp files enabled,
AND you click away from the previewed document, then all of your links will
be broken, since DW has not made that linked file into a temp file. This is
what you are seeing.
So - if you want to click away on preview, then you must use document
relative links for the site -
<img src="../images/foo.gif"... (for example)
These will still work on preview since the browser knows how to determine
the current file's location and how to follow that path.
Make sense?

ITunes has stopped updating my podcast, posted weekly

iTunes has stopped updating my podcast, posted weekly: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/kpfk-4-oclock-report-jon-wiener/id492010645
first one missing is Oct. 29, http://archive.kpfk.org/mp3/kpfk_141029_160001johnwiener.MP3
http://archive.kpfk.org/xml/johnwiener.xml -- how can I fix this?

iTunes is not reading your feed at all because there is a parsing error in Episode 7:
<item>
<title>Episode 7 - How to Invade Africa</title>
<link>http://thehistoryofpodcast.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/a-history-of-hannibal-episode- 7-how-to.html/link>
There is no '<' in the closing 'link' tag and this is wrecking the feed.

ITunes stops updating podcasts / iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?

Hi,
My iTunes is set to automatically update podcasts and keep the last five episodes of each podcast.
However, iTunes appears to stop updating podcasts after several (five?) unwatched episodes and gives me an exclamation mark in the podcast overview. Clicking on that, I get the message: "iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?"
This is not what I intend... and not what I told iTunes to do... (at least this my reading of the below settings)
This stopping is rather less then ideal: (1) if I am going away for two weeks, which I often do, I would still like to have the last five days of news, not the last five days of news back from the date I left, (2) I need to click update for approx. 20 podcast on regular basis, (3) my iPhone is synced to iTunes as soon as I come home, if iTunes does not have the podcasts downloaded, they are not copied over to the iPhone, and the iPhone will attempt to download the episodes via 3G next time I play the podcast on the go, (4) I am mainly using iTunes functions, such as smart playlists and podcasts, through another app (Plex, a fullscreen media player) and it is a pain to have to go to iTunes to manually do things. That is why this bothering me...
How can I get iTunes to behave as intended? (From reading through old posts I know that there is a Doug script adressing this problem, which I have just set up, but I would prefer to use internal settings if possible... maybe I am just missing a setting)
Thank you for your ideas!

Thank you for the response, Roger!
OK, that's how it is then.
The iTunes podcasts settings should be reworded in that case because it suggest something different from what it does. And, of course, it would be ideal for Apple to make this more flexible and allow users to set up their podcast downloads in their way and not be so motherly (c'mon, Apple, your users are not as dumb as you think, and they have uncapped Internet connections these days anyway)...
Btw., for anyone interested, this is external script I am using now:
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=updateexpiredpodcasts
Including the "cron job" setup here:
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/2011/12/updated-update-expired-podcasts-v2-2-and-l aunchd-project/
Cannot tell how well it works because I have just set it up, other members of the forum say it works for them...
If anyone knows of in-app solutions, please share...

ITunes has stopped updating this podcast...

I'm curious if anyone has a fix for this ACTUAL iTUNES MESSAGE:
"iTunes has stopped updating this podcast becasue you have not listened to any episode recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?"
It seems crazy to me that iTunes would just stop updating my podcasts because I haven't listened in a while. It would be just as ridiculous if Tivo stopped recording TV shows because I haven't watched them in a while. It doesnt mean I dont want to listen/watch in the future.
APPLE: FIX THIS!

Apple, count me as another user who wants you to do something different here. I would prefer to simply get a message that I haven't listened to a podcast in a while then not have it being downloaded. Especially now with advanced subscription settings that let us change the subscription on a per-podcast basis, this behavior should be changed. Maybe it's already in the queue?
Suggested change:
Just warn with option to stop warning, but always continue to download as per subscription settings.
I have a number of podcasts that I'm "subscribed to" but I don't listen to as regularly as they are published. However when i'm going to hit the road, I want those episodes there, especially on my ipod. I don't want to have wait for them to all update!
FYI for others reading this discussion; here is the Documentation:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301872

ITunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened . .

I found an archived article from two years ago: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8453115 and have found subsequent articles talking about outboard solutions that I have tried and do not work. The problem continues to this day. Why doesn't Apple just fix this themselves?
Exact text of the message, as if it is a mystery: iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?
Yes. Yes. Permanently, yes. Stop asking the question.

Although you may not like the way it's set up, Apple appears to have done this deliberately and therefore does not consider it broken. I suspect that they do it that way to conserve bandwidth.
Submit your feedback to Apple requesting something different here:

Best of luck.

Mail rss feed has stopped updating

my RSS feed in Mail has stopped updating. The last updates were on August 10. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Same here for a couple of weeks now. Only thing that helps is restarting mail. As seen from all the complaints here, it is a random problem and is continuing for some time now. And i think there will be no help from Apple since they have decided in there wisdom to drop the RSS feeds in the mail app all together from the newer OSX versions. I'm on OSX 10.6.8.

My ipad has stopped updating apps. It doesn't even ask for password, it just oges to the apps screen showing empty progress bars. I've re-synced account and restarted but with no luck. Other than deleting the apps is there anyway around this?

My ipad has stopped updating apps. It doesn't even ask for password, it just oges to the apps screen showing empty progress bars. I've re-synced account and restarted but with no luck. Other than deleting the apps is there anyway around this?

OK. I will work backwards.
You certainly don't want to have to delete apps every time that they need an update, for any number of reasons. Losing data first and foremost would be a drag, but the overall hassle would be absurd. All things being equal, you should be able to update apps in the future after you delete them and reinstall them. I delete and reinstall apps all the time and I am also able to update them when updates are available for the apps. I just wanted to know if you had any success in any fashion installing apps.
Resyncing/refreshing the Apple ID/iTunes account wouldn't seem to be the issue either if you can download apps or other content from the iStores. Your ID is being accepted.
That leaves us with I'm not sure what. But I think I would try this trick fix and see if it helps.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to update the apps again.

My I phone 5 has stopped updating emails, Facebook and the App Store won't load

My I phone 5 has stopped updating email, Facebook and the App Store. Any thoughts please

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

It looks like my iphone has stopped updating, what can I do?

it looks like my iphone has stopped updating, what can I do?

If the progress bar stopped during the update process, press and hold the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again.
After that start the update again.

Dreamweaver 8 - not updating links when moving files

I am still having problems getting Dreamweaver 8 to work the
same way as my Dreamweaver MX2004. When I use the file panel in
Dreamweaver 8 to change the name of a file it does not update my
links throughout out site. I have gone to EDIT > PREFERENCE and
made sure that update links when moving files and the Prompt box is
checked.
I have also tried Site > Advanced > Recreate Site Cache
but it's not working.
Can anyone please help. Thank you.

Give me the code from a link that is not managed by DW,
please.

Photostream has stopped updating since upgrading

Photostream still syncs across my iOS devices but has stopped on my OSX devices. I updated to the Photos app on the 16th April and my Mac Photostream hasn't updated since then. I'm not using iCloud Photo Library but My Photo Stream is enabled

Hi I wasn't too sure what you meant. This is what I see under the General tab

FCP has stopped updating ext. monitor

Hi--
Suddenly FCP has stopped showing color correction, etc. on my ext. monitor.
I've tried restarting FCP, and resetting the A/V prefs, to no avail.
This is version 5.0.4.
All My Best,
Jeffrey

One more stupid answer...
Let's make sure you are actually sliding the sliders on the clip that is active on the canvas!!!
hahaha
If you were smart enough to check those other things... well -- Can't tell you HOW many times that has happened to me.
But yes, I didn't actually read your post... I read the title and scanned. You said no longer updating CC. This happens to me too.
Not sure why. I usually trash my preferences and restart etc. Generally fixes it. Not sure if it's a ram thing or what.

My mail box has stopped updating

my mailbox has two accounts linked to it - O2 and AOL. The O2 is working fine. The AOL is not updating with new messages. The accouts on my iphone work fine

Not sure if we are having the same issue. A week or so back, I changed my AOL password and since then using the iPhone 4 email app, I can receive AOL mail but sending fails and is left in the outbox. I have tried extensive troubleshooting incl. all the suggestions here. Was at Apple store yesterday - they had another customer earlier in the day with the same problem and they couldn't figure it. We even tried initializing the phone to factory and wiped everything out. I then added AOL and it still failed. None of my other email accounts have issues and AOL works fine through the mobile interface in Safari. I also spent an hour this morning with an senior Applecare person and she feels its an AOL issue.
AOL refuses to help unless I pay them.

My Calendar has stopped updating from iCloud.

I am using Windows Vista Ultimate on a 64bit platform. For some reason my calendar has now stopped updating from iCloud. Everytime I open the iCloud Control Panel it tells me to repair iCloud. I have done this several times and even uninstalled and reinstalled the iCloud Control Panel but still no luck.
The iCloud Control Panel tells me the Calendar etc is available on iCloud but doesn't let me change any options. I can only change options for bookmarks and photostream.
Please help.

I have the exact same problem. Has anyone found a solution?
