Dreamweaver 8 - Issue saving to Mac partion from Windows

I just bought an Intel Mac, which I'm running Windows on
using Bootcamp (as all my Adobe software is for Windows). I use a
software called MacDrive, so when I'm working in Windows I can
access files saved on the Mac partion. But I'm having issues saving
files in Dreamweaver to the Mac partion. Everything appears to save
correctly, until I go back and open the file, and see that the end
of the file will have leftover data in it from the previous save.
For example, if I remove two lines of code from an HTML file, then
when I re-open the file, I'll have a duplicate set of
</body></html> tags leftover from the previous version
of the file. I do not have this problem when editing and saving
files to the Mac partion using Notepad or any other Windows
program, only Dreamweaver.
Has anyone here had a similar problem? If so, were you able
to fix it somehow? If not, would you be willing to help me contact
Adobe to get this issue solved? Thank you for your time.

Don't want to hijack the thread, but since you mentioned a
cross-grade I
have a question. I will be making the move from being PC
based to MAC based
in the next 6 months. Since I will be replacing my aging dell
laptop with
an imac pro, my next desktop purchase will be mac as well
With the current CS3 I will just be running in parralels, but
I asked about
when cs4 comes around if I could just upgrade to the mac
version. I was
told by a cs rep that this is not possible I would have to
purchase a fresh
install. Is this not correct, is there a way around it?
thanks,
randy

  • Is it possible to resize a mac partition from windows?

    Here's what's going on. I originally wanted to use Disk Utility to do this, which is clearly the easy way to do things, but my computer is so slow that Disk Utility immediately becomes unresponsive upon wanting to resize -any- partition. The windows side works fine though, it isn't slow as crap. Is there a way to resize the mac partition from windows (HFS+)? Any possible way? Even crazy ones? I'm open to suggestions.
    Oh yeah, and in case you want to know...my Mac Mini just randomly started getting really, really slow, so slow in fact, that now my old iMac from 1999 is faster (it doesn't even have ANY RAM!). I tried resetting the PRAM/NVRAM, multiple times, booting into safe mode takes forever, but I left it for awhile and it finished. Almost worked, the finder showed up quicker than usual, but then it reverted back to it's slow self again once I opened Disk Utility. I tried booting into single user mode and typing /sbin/fsck -fy, and it's so slow, that it couldn't even do that! It got stuck at checking libraries or something, for hours, and i could type things in still, but it wouldn't recognize any commands (ie fsk - fy). I also cannot replace the RAM because it is an older mac mini and those things are hard as f*** to repair, trust me, i've tried. The weirdest part of all of this has to be that this is the computer that we DON'T download many apps onto, so it most likely isn't bloatware, adware, a virus or something else. We download most stuff to our MacBook, and go to the sketchy websites on it as well (it really should be the other way around, the mac mini would be around 3x less expensive to replace, it's just that it's the family computer). And that's always slow, but this surpassed it (btw, the laptop is a year or so older). I do not have the installation disk.
    Can someone help? Mainly about the first thing...please. The second thing is hopeless, I will need to get a new computer pretty soon, and these macs don't last as long as they used to I guess, we'd most likely get a quality Windows PC to replace it, this has been a disappointment. I'm just trying to get a little more life out of it with Linux, maybe a year or two. That's what i've done with my old iMac. Runs GREAT. Especially for a 13 year old computer. The thing is, my folks don't want me to completely eliminate the mac partition even though it's virtually unusuable.

    I'm not really understanding what the end goal was. But in case anyone else comes across the thread, neither the built-in Windows volume resizing utility nor any 3rd party Windows resizing utility should be used to resize either the Windows partition or the Mac OS partition. Invariably they all manipulate the NTFS volume in such a way that the secondary GPT is corrupt, the primary GPT is rendered invalid, and only correctly alter the MBR. It's a recipe for data loss.
    Conversely, while Disk Utility can resize a Mac OS volume, it cannot resize an NTFS volume. With Lion and Mountain Lion, upon using Boot Camp Assistant there are already four partitions: EFI System, Mac OS, Recovery HD, and Windows. There is no more room for a fifth partition in the MBR partition scheme, and if you try to add one, Disk Utility will apparently let you and render Windows unbootable (because Disk Utility adds the fifth partition to the GPT, but can't add it to the MBR, and instead removes the hybrid MBR needed for Windows support and replaces it with a PMBR.)
    So in effect this is not to be done except with 3rd party utilities.

  • Director 11 - Publishing Mac Projector from Windows

    When publishing a Mac projector file from Windows XP, the
    files created do not function correctly when I test them on a
    Macintosh computer (OS 10.5). Even though I publish as a projector,
    the application is not self running and will display a message that
    Shockwave is required to run the program. The program will run
    properly on Macintosh computers that have Shockwave installed.
    It seems that the files that are created in the Frameworks
    folder (within the .app/Contents folder) have data in their
    resource forks and this gets stripped off on the Windows system. I
    thought Director 11 had resolved this issue so that you could
    publish a cross-platform projector that would be ready-to-run.
    If I move the .app folder to a Mac and replace the Frameworks
    folder with a Frameworks folder that has been created with Director
    11 on a Macintosh system, the program runs correctly without a
    Shockwave install.
    Has anyone else run into this, and if so, is there a fix for
    it? I need to be able to publish both Windows projectors and Mac
    projectors from my Windows system.

    Hi Phil,
    thanks. You're right, it's impossible to set icon or background image, but it seems to work stable.
    Do you know, if the D11.5MAC-generated projector works under MAC OS 9 / WIN95/98/NT/2000/Vista/7?
    I feel sorry for you because of the UDF file system. Therefore I have no idea.
    But apple has changed the way how files are connected with their applications. You can now (since 10.5) define that all files with a certain file extension has to be opened with a concrete program. But I also know that it doesn't work correctly in all cases. So may be it has something to do with that instead the way how the ROM is read with 10.5+ opposed to 10.4

    From what I understand, the "Mac & PC" option in Toast will make a disc that is pretty much compatible with most OSs.
    It allows you to specify separate files for the Mac and the PC side of things. What it doesn't do is let you set icon layout or a background image for the window, like the Custom Hybrid option does.
    I've personally used "Mac & PC" discs on Mac OS X 10.4-10.6, Windows 98 SE, XP, and Vista with no issues.
    This is great if it can solve you problems. I just wish there was a solution for making the Mac projectors work as ROM content on DVDs (UDF volumes), which is what I'm working with 75% of the time as of late. It's primarily 10.5 and newer where the issue pops up, as Apple seems to have done something with how the ROM portion is read with 10.5+ as opposed to 10.4.

  • Can you read/write to Mac partition from Windows 7 partition with bootcamp?

    Hi there. I am about to take delivery of a new Air and want to install Windows on it. As accessing both simultaneously isn't important to me, I don't mind using boot camp and would like the performance gains (if there are any?) of booting straight into either.
    The question is: would I be able to, from Windows, access and edit (have full access to) files stored on the Mac partition?
    Furthermore, does anyone know whether I could run itunes on both using the same set of files (i.e. exactly the same itunes whether in OS X or Windows?).
    Thanks very much for your help. I have heard contradictory things so wanted to see what the real answer was!
    Thanks,
    Tom.

    iTunes has to be somewhere you can write. There are some tips on iTunes probably in the devoted forums.
    But writing to Mac partition (HFS+) requires 3rd party driver. Same for writing to NTFS from Mac OS.
    I would not recommend MacDrive8 for allowing Windows to write to Mac HFS, but that is and was the first to do so. Paragon-Software has been creating some file system drivers for Windows, Linux and now Mac to go both ways. Most of their products are in the backup & recovery and partitioning area.
    Apple has added read-only feature to allow accessing HFS but the feature (and it is not really a service or driver that you can turn on/off or choose to not install, it is part of the Boot Camp package) has been known to need to be renamed/deleted. Not always but will sometimes trigger BSOD. Maybe reading a file with a file name? doubt it but I rename "AppleHFS" and "AppleMNT" so they don't load or function in Windows 7.

  • Can't see mac library from windows iTunes

    Hello!
    I switched on home collection to synchronize library between Mac and Widows iTunes. I can see and open Windows library from my Mac. But i can't from Windows. It doesn't show Mac library.
    And how i can select main library? Or i will have same data in both iTunes?
    Thank you

    Please see windows 8 does not recognise Macintosh HD, No drive Letter.
    You can verify if you have CoreStorage by executing diskutil cs list in OS X Terminal.

  • Migrating to Mac Pro from Windows intensive GIS modelling only in WinXP..

    Hi all,
    I have some cash for a new workstation and have been pondering moving to a Mac as I am frustrated with Windows for som many reasons. I am a scientist who does a lot of modelling, luckily software such as R is available on Mac so I am happy with that. However, I am stuck with some windows dependency due to ArcGIS which is windows only.
    I have several questions:
    1. I have a couple of existing machines that have cheapo PCI-E Sil3132 RAID cards that run RAID 0 on two 1TB disks as swap. It should be possible to use this in Bootcamp no problems as Windows has drivers for it, but could I access this array through OSX and importantly, through Parallels so I could use the Mac and Windows at the same time?
    2. I have several external arrays that use the ESATA connection from some RAID cards, however, these are all in NTFS format. Can I read/write to these disks in OSX? I am confused by an abundance of posts which say yes, no but yes in Snow Leopard..
    3. Reading people's comments, it is widely accepted to steer clear of the Mac RAID card as it is overpriced. Is it also not compatible with Windows?
    4. Do you guys think it is worth it to move? I could just go down the PC route again and get a similar spec machine as to the Mac Pro, but I can't tell you how much Windows upsets me sometimes.
    Any advice at all is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    A

    Dual boot though makes things more complex and doesn't sound like running Windows programs in a VM is going to help.
    Therefore a lot to convert, consider, and limitations.
    Don't know how well if at all Parallels 6 will work with your arrays.
    Swap. Put your system on an SSD, be sure to have enough RAM, because Mac OS and users avoid swapping and pageouts like the plague.
    A Mac Pro can be a fine Windows only system, suitable almost, and similar to others that use Xeon processor.
    Burn out hits everyone, but maybe if you could get past that and build a new system from ground up that meets your needs and expectations, that would be easier.
    NTFS write ability is not hard to add, but is not native to OS X either.
    Disclaimer: I run my Mac Pro as Windows 99% and have played around with some PC controller cards and Mac controller cards, and there is always trouble with cross platform.
    As for Mac Pro, $4k+ for 3.33GHz 6-core 3 x 8GB RAM buys a lot of hardware, and in PC realm something that can be clocked much higher and more RAM...

  • Remote-control of a Mac server from Windows

    What is the Apple recommended way to logging into a Mac Server from a Windows PC so that I can manage it? I have an iMac on my desk but that's for creating/testing images. My main PC is an HP laptop running Windows 7. I've got Real VNC setup but the number of times it just stops working and I have to reconnect is not funny. Logging in is a chore, too. 1st password to control screen, then login to server, VNC gets kicked out during screen refresh, have to enter 1st password again to get back in.
    Is there an official RDP program like Windows has for managing Windows servers?

    Hi
    +"What is the Apple recommended way to logging into a Mac Server from a Windows PC"+
    AFAIK there isn't one? Why would there be? Putting the shoe on the other foot Microsoft offers RDC for mac to control PCs. I don't see anything on the site stating it's the 'recommended' way?
    +"Is there an official RDP program like Windows has for managing Windows servers?"+
    Yes. It's called Apple Remote Desktop. You can't install it on a PC. Since 10.5 VNC Server and Client are 'built-in' for Server and Client OS as you already know. The protocol is actually VNC. RDP is Microsoft's proprietary name for it.
    I've never had problems controlling any mac (server or client) using TightVNC, RealVNC or UltraVNC - there are others you could use and experiment with? Depending on the Windows OS and network environment you may have to experiment with all three before settling on one that works consistently. Perhaps the problems you're having are due to a misconfiguration? On the mac side enable Remote Management - not Screen Sharing. Go into the VNC options and enable the "Control Screen with Password Setting". Create a password but don't make it the same as the Administrator one.
    AFAIK the logging in behaviour you describe is normal in my experience. I've not found it a chore on either a platform.
    HTH?

  • Accessing Mac HD from Windows through Parallels

  • I can't see my Mac shares from Windows

    I've read threads here saying people can't access windows shares from their mac using Leopard. Well, I'm having this problem too...AND I'm also have this problem the other way. From my XP machine, I CANNOT access or even see my Mac shares like I used to in Tiger. I've tried messing with all the settings on the Mac side, and nothing works! ARGH! So frustrated!
    Before, I could access my mac shares from my XP machine by typing in my username and password, that's what I'm trying to do, but no matter what I do, I can't get my XP machine to see my mac shares over the network. Can someone help me out please? I'm almost to a point where I'm desperate!

    Okay, I give up. I can see my XP PC in Finder sans firewall, with all of my Mac exposed, and cannot see my Mac from the XP PC at all, no matter what I do. I've spent hours on this today and after reading and trying everything, I realize there's no way to do it. There's no safe way too look into my PC, and no possible way too look into my Mac. I can't believe Apple made me believe that I could do a simple thing like network my PC and my Mac.
    I'm so utterly disappointed--you want something to "just work", and there are 500 options and settings and nothing works. I want to love Apple so much, but after spending all night trying, I realize it just doesn't work. Too bad, I really wanted to use this Mac at work.

  • Access to Mac HD from Windows

    Can I access files on the Mac OS partition from Windows via Bootcamp?
    I would like to have all of my files in one location.

    Hi folks - and a special nod of gratitude to Fortuny,
    I didn't mean to "hi-jack" this thread, so my apologies to MtnMac2.
    But to the point of info for all - I loaded the two utes suggested by Fortuny - and WOW! without a hitch nor hiccup, it worked beautifully. I can read/write to ALL of my BootCamp partition while booted in MacOS 10.5.6. Very slick.
    I spent nearly a half an hour dragging all of the files from my VMware directory into the new BootCamp "My Documents" and further into sub-directories. I was able to rename files IN THAT PC directory, create folders, sub-folders, etc., all while booted in Leopard.
    What I haven't done yet is see what the Mac side looks like while booted in XP-Pro - I suspect it will be the same trouble-free ease of use. In fact, I now know more about this than the local "Genius" at the bar at one of my neighborhood Apple Stores. (shocker...)
    And the best part? These utilities are FREE. While I don't doubt the functionality of Hatter's suggestion (he's ALWAYS spot on!!) - this was the immediate path of least financial resistance.
    Thanks again Fortuny - and I'll follow-up IF and only if I hit trouble from within XP-Pro - just to share the experience with this wonderful community of users and experts!
    Peace,

  • Remote control a Mac server from Windows machines

    I'm running a Mavericks Server that I'd like to get off my desk and put in the data center. However, my primary laptop is a Windows 8.1 laptop that I use to support other things. I'd still like the ability to remote into the Mac Server from my Windows laptop. I know that I can VNC into the server, but it's my understanding that if I have Remote Management turned on, I can't have Screen Sharing (and thus, VNC) turned on. So it seems like my options are to run  another VNC server on a different port or use LogMeIn Ignition. But I'm not sure what other people are using so I'd like your help. Thoughts? Suggestions?
    TIA    

    As you have found via the answer provided by Morgan R, it is possible to configure Remote Management to allow standard VNC clients to connect just like it is possible with Screen Sharing.
    Note: Remote Management does everything Screen Sharing does plug other things. So anything you can do via Screen Sharing you can do via Remote Management.
    However there is a client available for Windows that does support the extended login information used by Remote Management/Screen Sharing, this is 'Remotix' by Nulana.
    See http://www.nulana.com/remotix-windows/
    I have tried it and it does work. I did however find one serious bug which I have reported to them but I don't know if they have fixed it yet.
    Over the years I have found many in fact nearly all software that involves linking Mac and Windows where one controls the other in either direction has suffered an inexcusable bug whereby if you are not using US keyboards at both ends then several keys will not be mapped properly and you can even end up with some keys not usable at all. The most infamous combination is the @ and " keys being swapped.
    All these programs appear to have been written by Americans who are members of the 'flat earth' society and obviously believe that if you leave the shores of the USA you will fall of the edge of the world. I presume they also are avid fans of the Discworld series of books.
    Offenders include Virtual PC, Microsoft Remote Desktop Client 1.0 (for Mac), Timbkutu Pro, Remotix and I am sure many others.
    Note: Microsoft did at least fix theirs several years later with Remote Desktop Client 2.0 (for Mac).
    The one noteable exception is VNC. VNC was originally developed at AT&T Laboratories in Cambridge, England. (Not New England.)
    See http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/dtg/attarchive/vnc/ I am sure if it had been developed in Cambridge, Massachusetts it would have suffered the same problem. Since Screen Sharing on Macs is based on VNC it has never suffered this problem even when controlling a PC via VNC. I am therefore even more shocked that Nulana managed to make this mistake.

  • I can see and read files on my Mac partition from Windows

    I have a MBacBook Pro with Bootcamp installed on a partitioned drive.
    I'm currently logged into Windows XP.  My drives are:
    BOOTCAMP (C:)
    DVD-RW Drive (D:)
    MB Pro HD (F:)
    These three drives show up in Windows Explorer.
    I'd never tried opening the MB Pro partition, but got curious tonight.  Sure enough, from Windows XP, I can open the MacBook Pro partition, open the Users Directory, find my MacBook login directory, find my Documents Folder, see all the contents, and even open files!
    That doesn't seem right. 
    In fact, that seems like a MAJOR security flaw.
    Anybody else?  Is this normal?  Is there a way I can protect my Mac files from being accessed by someone using Windows on this computer?
    Thanks!

    It's your machine, anyone that uses the Mac side, would presumably have access to the Windows side.
    But if you really want to remove it:
    Click Start, then My Computer.
    Double-click on the BOOTCAMP (C:) drive  At the These files are hidden screen, click on Show the contents of this folder.
    Double-click on the Windows folder.  At the These files are hidden screen, click on Show the contents of this folder.
    Double-click on the System 32 folder.  At the These files are hidden screen, click on Show the contents of this folder.
    Double-click on the drivers folder.
    Locate the file AppleMNT (it is a .sys file) and rename it to something like AppleMNT_keep.
    Click Start, then click on Shut Down.
    Click Restart to restart Windows.
