Dreamweaver 8 on INtel Mac ftp problems????

The basic setup: I have an emac, installed Dreamweaver 8 (actually the entire studio package), it works fine. I want to move our webpage to a new imac (intel). I've copied the files, installed Dreamweaver 8, done the set up for the site.
The problem is: I can't get the FTP connection to work. Whether I'm in the SIte Management section,the TEST part, or trying to connect (with the little electric plug icon), I get this message...a file activity window opens, "An FTP error occured -- Cannot make connection to host. Dreaweaver could not connect because the serve is down or not accepting connections."
Things I've tried: I've explored diligently the Adobe/Dreamweaver website.
I've deleted the Files for Dreamweaver, the web site files from the local host, I've tested the connection using other FTP methods (safari -- a test suggested by Adobe or FEtch); I read some of the posts here after searching for Dreamweaver/Intel items. The server is not down since I've been able to connect an upload from another computer; the computer does perform FTP using other methods...which I suppose I can do...but it makes an extra step.
I"ve tried using Passive FTP or not; I've tried everything I can think of...or suggested by outside sources (adobe, an instructor who teaches Dreamweaver, the Apple forums here); I modified the Hard drive name to eliminate spaces;
I've come to the conclusion it is more an "Apple" issue rather than a Dreamweaver issue.
I'm using the Dreamweaver on an emac and it works flawlessly!! But I need to use the emac for other purposes and set up the website on the Intel imac...
The Question: Any ideas or solutions or something to try????
Thanks for any help, suggestions, ideas. Cathy (working in an elementary school computer lab...)

Yes--I've tried the "test" ftp address suggested by Dreamweaver; I've used fetch to connect as well as upload something.
I've connected to the server from another computer....
Thanks for trying but...the server seems to be functioning okay.

  • Dreamweaver on Intel Mac

    I have just got a new Intel Mac and have installed Studio MX
    on it. Dreamweaver worked perfectly okay at first, but now it quits
    every time I try to connect to the server. I've tried throwing away
    the preferences, but that hasn't helped. As I say it worked at
    first, but now does work. I can use everything else perfectly well,
    it just quits if I try to connect to the server. I'm not sure if
    it's a problem with my computer or with my using the software on an
    Intel Mac

    Lucy4,
    I just got a new 24" Intel Mac as well and installed Studio
    MX with Dreamweaver 6.1. I am having the exact same problem.
    Dreamweaver runs perfectly until I try to connect to the server via
    FTP when the software has a kernal panic and quits unexpectedly.
    Did you ever get a resolution to your problem?

  • Intel Mac Install Problems

    Is anyone else out there running a new Intel Mac with 10.4.8?
    The problem comes when I go to install CF MX 7.2. I tried all the
    configurations possible for developer (stand alone, with JRun, on
    top of J2EE) and it just won't install right. It gets to the part
    where it says 'it installed okay first part, but to finish the
    install check firewall ports, etc. and make sure CF is running.'
    Anyway, I can never get CF to run. It tries to, and can't. The
    annoying part is I have to manually uninstall the crap too each
    time, as the 'uninstaller' gets so far and asks me for my admin
    password (not the CF admin password, RDS password, but the actual
    admin pass for my account). I enter it and it keeps telling me it
    is wrong. So you can't unistall with the unistaller. Funny thing
    though is when I go to just trash the whole app manually the system
    asks for my admin pass and it takes it just fine.
    So, my main question is: Has anyone gotten CF MX 7.2 to
    successfully install and run on an Intel Mac? Or will it only work
    on an older PowerPC? (All my other Macromedia/Adobe stuff is
    running just fine since I upgraded from the PowerPC. It was a
    little slow at first, but I threw a bunch of ram at it. I cannot
    get CF to install at all though...)
    Anyone with advice or insight please respond...
    Thanks.

  • Older intel mac display problems (x1600)

    My mom has an intel imac (the version before the black/aluminum kind) and it had very minor display issues with Tiger (very infrequent horizontal lines). They were all resolved with further point releases of Tiger.
    After upgrading to Leopard she has had numerous problems, all revolving around frequent and numerous horizontal lines. They sometimes get so bad that the current window is almost completely obscured.
    Here is a flickr set of images that show the problem and the display specs. I know that was happening to users with newer imacs and x1900s, is this happening to other x1600 users?
    Any ideas on what is going on? I told her to call apple, but her warranty has run out and she feels uncomfortable calling because she is not a technical person (exactly why I told her to get a mac—I have egg on my face now). Should she downgrade? Can this be a hardware problem?

    Hi everyone, i have bought an iMac 20 with a core 2 duo 1 GB ram and an ATI x1600 (a white one, because the screen quality is better than the new iMac 20 alu)
    and i've some display problems. First i was on Tiger and i didn't noticed any problems but as leopard came out i rapidly upgraded to it and then came problems with the display.
    To make short, the lower part of my screen is lagging anormaly. When i drag a window or even the dock's animations are slower. And it doesn't occur on the upper part of my screen, windows can be dragged smoothly, there is no lag even if the CPU is working at 100% (like on every normal mac...).
    I've noticed there is a little bump when i'm dragging a windows from the top to the bottom of the screen, it's like the window enter another area.
    I've of course checked a lot of boards on the www, so i've tried a lot of things, my card ATI X1600 128mo PCIe is fully working with core image and quartz extreme.
    Some people said to wait that spotlight finished to index, but it's done and the problems are still there.
    Time machine is off
    I don't use coverflow and i've tried it, it doesn't change anything.
    I've also re-installed Tiger and, wo-ow the problem is still there, especially when all is up to date.
    It seems that, the problem come from the last firmware update, i don't know if this firmware update was done for improving compatibility with bootcamp or leopard but for me it has added this strange display behavior.
    I've also tried to turn off quartz extreme, and it's even worst, worst on the lower part again but no changes on the upper, everything run smoothly.
    As i didn't noticed it when i used my mac for the first days (on Tiger and without the firmware update) and on windows with bootcamp there is still no display problems at all, i keep thinking it's not an hardware problem but a software (firmware, display on Mac osX) problem.
    It should be solved by a new firmware or Mac os upgrade until then i have to do with it.
    By the way, does anyone knows if there's a way for downgrading the gpu firmware ? (when i try, it say that i didn't need it), it's the only thing that i havent tried.
    Thanks in advance, and i beg your pardon for my pittyfull frenglish :s

  • Intel Macs & G5s: Problems when moving projects between them

    An earlier post* suggesting complete compatibility between the latest FCP in a G5 and in an Intel Mac may be in error.
    We are experiencing continuing crashes using our Intel Mac when we work on projects that were originally either imported or partially rendered in the G5.
    It has gotten to the point where we feel we must keep projects completely isolated from each other: Either it is a "G5 project" or it is an "Intel Mac" project. Moving projects back and forth between the two leads to problems such as:
    The Intel Mac does not recognize any renders done in the G5...
    The Intel Mac crashes when rendering 'G5' projects...
    The Intel mac crashes when compressor goes to work to export sequences to mpeg...
    The G5 works fine with Intel Mac-originated material: It is only in the Intel Mac where we have these problems.
    Both systems are up-to-the minute on their OS, security updates, and FCP versions. We are using variously 720p/30 from the JVC GY-100UA and 1080i/30 from the Sony Z1U.
    Our questions are:
    Is anyone else experiencing similar problems moving projects between a G5 and an Intel Mac?
    Is anyone moving projects between the two platforms and experiencing NO problems at all? That information would be just as valuable, and very welcome.
    Apple FCP development team: Is our experience unique or have you had other reports like this? Any idea what could be causing our problems -- and what we can do to fix them?

    Scott,
    Welcome to the discussions!
    I have had no problems moving my G5 projects over to my MP.
    You can not move render files between machines.
    When you changed systems, did you use Migration Assistant to transfer your files over to your new Mac Pro? You might need to install from the disks in order to achieve native Intel performance. See if you installed Final Cut 5.1 on your G5 then it installed the PPC code... if you put that drive into your Mac Pro or used Migration Assistant to move the app over it is still the PPC code... When you install from the installation disk, Installer determines what system you are installing on (PPC or Intel) and that's what it installs. This goes for all of your "Universal Binary" apps...
    In the System Profiler app. under Software/Applications
    Final Cut Pro "kind" should be Universal on your MP.
    The FCP development team do not read these posts, only users do.

  • Mac FTP problem with DW MX 2004

    Hi, I've checked the boards on this one and nothing is
    working. Checked Passive and Secure FTP and that didn't work
    either. This is a problem I only get when uploading somewhat large
    (23mb) mp3's. The other smaller files go up easily. Also, when I
    upload the mp3's, DW doesn't actually place the mp3 on the server
    until I disconnect the connection. Otherwise it will re-upload what
    has already uploaded, over and over again, something like a broken
    record with a "waiting for the server" for about 30 secs in
    between.
    Can anyone please help. It is very annoying and not very
    efficient use of time. I end up uploading all the files in my
    folders by hand, so you can imagine how long it takes.
    Thanks In Advance,
    Jason

    Are the changes made in the local sites after you cange the
    Library items?
    Look at the page locally and see. If the local files are
    changed and if you
    have uploaded them, then you will see the changes on the
    remote site
    PROVIDED your have refreshed your browser cache.

  • Incredibly slow FTP upload speeds on Intel Macs with OS 10.5

    I've been using FTP programs like Fetch and Vicomsoft FTP for years and recently bought two new Intel iMacs to add to my office. I still have my older G5 iMacs as well. We have an extremely high speed business class broadband connection and on the older iMacs that are running 10.4.11, our FTP connection through Fetch and Vicomsoft with them is absolutely super-fast with upload speeds of close to 300 kb/sec.
    However, on the new iMacs, which are Intel Macs and run OS 10.5, the FTP upload connection is insanely slow, with upload connections of less than 30 kb/sec (yes, 10 times slower). It starts out fast at first (like all FTP connections) but then very rapidly slows to a maddening crawl of 30 kb/sec or less.
    Anyone have any idea what this might be attributed to? Or anyone out there have the same problem? We are having to transfer everything to our older iMacs in order to upload, which is another huge time waste.
    Any help is appreciated.
    BTW, on the new Intel Macs, we have tried using both Fetch 4.0.3 (which is the version we have on the older iMacs) as well as Fetch 5.3 and the same slowness problem exists for both.

  • Installation problems on Intel Mac. claims PPC

    I'm trying to install the current Flash Player 10.2 on my Macbook 6,1 (Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.26GHz) with 4GB RAM, running OSX 10.6.6
    Browser is Firefox 3.6.13 {Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 Firefox/3.6.13}
    I got the installer from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    The installer puts up a message: "Devices with PowerPC processors are no longer supported"
    How can I convince the installer that this isn't a PPC machine ?  Why might the installer think so ?

    Hi, What browser are you using to try to Uninstall/Install FP vs 10.2? And when you Install 10.1, what browser are you using?
    There is no Flash Player support for a 64bit browser. I have been very busy on the Forum and have not had time to check on the 10.3 beta. Not sure what it refers to. Have you? Just asking as I've seen it mentioned on another thread, but it's from those complaining about 10.2 not working. Why anyone would want a beta Installed unless they are involved in the testing and are Developers I don't know.
    Any beta is a work in progress, so as long as a user is aware of that it's ok with me. Microsoft has their IE9 in beta too, but with an beta one can expect problems.
    Since the 10.2 is not Installing, then I don't think you'd receive any code, do you?
    I'm not as familiar with the Mac, but is it possible to upgrade the OS from a PPC to the edition you have now?
    I'm going to check a couple of things while you let me know on the above browser info. Also any comments would be welcome:-)
    Thanks,

  • Text-wrap problem ID CS3 on Intel Mac

    I've recently been upgraded to an Intel Mac workstation running Leopard and for the most part, the transition has been smooth.  However, I just noticed today that I cannot get "detect edges" to work on a text wrap around an object with a transparent background in a placed Photoshop file.  The detect edges only works if I have a white background.  I've never had this problem before, so I wonder if it's a result of my new computer.  I use this function of text wrap constantly, and I'm hoping someone knows if this is a known bug and if there is a work around.

    You don´t have to use detect edges feature for extracted PSD-image.... just select a proper Contour Options Type, Alpha Channel for instance.

  • New Intel Mac Mini Start-up Problems

    I've recently purchased a new Intel Mac Mini (my first Mac after switching from a PC). Several times (probably once a day), the mac mini won't start-up.
    I've noticed it happens after I've used iPhoto or iDVD. The mini becomes busy and performance seems to slow. After the software has finished its task, I can exit the application fine and shut down the mini.
    When I then go to boot the mini, the little blue light comes up, but nothing else happens. It's almost as though it's in sleep mode (which it isn't). I've tried different ways to wake it using the keyboard, mouse and start button, but nothing.
    The Mac Mini will only start-up again if it is unplugged from the mains and left for several minutes.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Is there something I'm doing wrong that my lack of Mac knowledge may not be aware of?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I have been frustrated by the same issue. My (admittedly non-professional) diagnosis is that the problem is related to heat build up. I am able to boot normally only after forcing a hard shut down and waiting for "a while" (5 minutes is not enough, 30 minutes does the trick). Thus my hypothesis that an appropriate cooling down period is needed.
    Any similar thoughts? I'm calling Apple today...

  • Fscommand problem on Intel Mac

    Hello!
    I am new to the forum and have a big problem.
    I am trying to execute an application with fscommand on a
    Intel Mac usin the latest standalone player (9.0.28)
    This is the code:
    fscommand("exec", "myapp.app");
    myapp.app resides in a subfolder called "fscommand"
    This does not work in the projector file created by the
    9.0.28 player. It works in the flash 8 player under rosetta, but
    then I lose to much performance. fscommand works fine on windows in
    all players.
    Can anyone help me with this? Is it a bug, or is it due to a
    undocumented change in the flash player?
    My swf source file is in flash 8 format actionscript 2.0.
    Best Regards
    Rune

    We found r28 was quite different under the hood from older 9
    players,
    but I'm not sure what the work around is using a standard
    projector.
    You can make this work with Mac version of mProjector it adds
    a
    executeApplication call.
    it is documented here
    http://www.screentime.com/software/mprojector/docs/index.html#mSystem
    to use it you just install the mProjector mxp file add the
    call, export
    your swf then convert it with the mProjector builder
    application

  • Rsync: Problem on Intel Mac

    Hello together,
    I want to use rsync to backup files between my Intel Mac (iMac 20'') and my PPC Mac (G4 450 sawtooth).
    This works except that the ressource forks and other files starting with ._ can not be transfered.
    rsync -aE /sourcpath remotehost:/targetpath/
    I keep getting lots of errors like
    file has vanished: "/path/._filename"
    file has vanished: "/path/._filename"
    file has vanished: "/path/._filename"
    The files are transfered, but the ressourcforks are not.
    How can I solve this?
    Best regards
    Martin
    G4 Sawtooth, iBook G4 800   Mac OS X (10.4)  

    I don't know if this is what is causing your problem, but I have seen these types of errors using 'rsync' on 10.4 where the source and destination are on different volumes, and one volume has ACLs enabled, whereas the other doesn't. Once, while doing an incremental backup, 'rsync' actually went and stripped off every single resource fork in my backup - not just those of files that would have been modified since the previous backup. I didn't bother to keep ACLs enabled long enough to troubleshoot after that.
    Both ACL support, and support in various command line utilities for preserving resource forks or file attributes are features newly introduced in 10.4 - it looks like there still may be some kinks to work out with respect to how they interact...

  • Problems with Safari, Acrobat, Intel Macs, and Life Cycle Form Mgr.

    Here is my problem:
    A Mac user using 10.4.10, with Acrobat Standard Ed v.7.0.9 installed,
    is having to approve purchase forms through Adober Life Cycle Form Manager
    through Safari 2.0.4. When trying to approve the PDF forms, it tells her
    she needs to have Acrobat v.7 installed, and only shows a white page.
    Went back and launched Acrobat 7.0.9, and did the "Detect and Repair"
    setting to verify the Adobe PDFViewer plugin was installed.
    Said it was, checked the Library/Internet Plugins folder and it was.
    Launched Safari, Safari's list of plug-ins does not show it as being installed.
    Trashed the Safari .plist file, relaunched Safari, same thing.
    Read on the Apple site that people were experiencing similar issues,
    Read on Adobe's site that for Intel Macs, should be using v. 8.01.
    Downloaded the 8.01 Acrobat Reader and installed it.
    re-launched Safari, success, it says the plugin, v.8.01 is installed.
    Go back to Adobe Life Cycle Forms Manager, go to view a PDF,
    at 100% screen size, PDF shows correctly. Zoom in on details,
    PDF goes blank, will not show details. Zoom back out,
    PDF goes white page, no info displayed.
    My Questions:
    1. is it an issue with Adobe Life Cycle Forms Manager and Safari on Intel Macs?
    2. Is there a way to get a proper plug in for Safari, so that Acrobat will read the PDFs
    instead of the default Preview?
    thanks in Advance

  • FTP Problems with Dreamweaver 8

    The webmaster for the library I work for recently had
    difficulty with her computer. She did a system restore from her
    discs, and, after that, reinstalled Dreamweaver 8. She sent me an
    email to let me know she needed my assistance setting her DW FTP
    back up.
    While her computer was down I decided to reorganize the
    website files. There were dozens of old files and most of the
    images and html were scattered throught the main part of the file
    tree. She really liked the changes, but, after connecting her to
    the site and downloading all the files, a problem arose.
    Once she got her laptop back home every time she'd connect to
    the FTP she got a group of folders named "Windows, Linux,
    Speedtest" and a few others. I contacted our webhost and they told
    me this meant she was logging in anonymously. We have our login
    name and password in correctly, though, so this shouldn't happen.
    No one at our ISP could help me do to them not being familiar with
    Dreamweaver.
    After playing around with the machine a bit I found that if I
    deleted the site from the FTP and re-did it using the same folders
    then the first connection was succesful. But, after disconnecting,
    the same problem happens again.
    I found this article and wondered if it could be causing our
    problem.
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=3491671c
    The only thing that makes me think it might not be is the
    fact that our login and password stays in the box, but, for some
    reason, the FTP is connecting anonymously. Could her doing a
    recovery have led to this? Maybe there's an update she needs to
    apply that she didn't get after doing the recovery?

    It's hard to know what kind of things happened with your
    moving stuff around
    outside of DW.
    Suffice it to say that most FTP problems are router/firewall
    related. Does
    this help at all?

  • Dreamweaver CS5 update apparently fixes Mac FileVault problem

    Adobe has just released Dreamweaver 11.0.2 (build 4916), which is intended to fix the problem with running Dreamweaver CS5 on Mac OS X with FileVault enabled. Adobe Updater should automatically detect the update, and display the Adobe logo in the menu bar at the top right of the screen on a Mac. Click the logo, and select Adobe Updater. Alternatively, select Help > Updates in Dreamweaver.
    I don't use FileVault, so can't verify that the update fixes the problem. Hopefully, it does.

    I was getting the same error message on both Windows 7 64-bit as well as XP 32-bit.  When CS5 Dreamweaver installs (and several other Adobe CS5 products) it includes an older version of the Java 1.6 Runtime Environment which has known serious security flaws.  My university's computer security people got a report from Secunia PSI that I was running vulnerable software (an older version of Java) and demanded that I immediately upgrade. 
    But I do have the latest updates of the JRE installed, so I was puzzled by this.  When I looked at the Secunia report, the JRE culprits were installed in the Programs\Adobe folders as part of each application such as Dreamweaver (and several others).  So I removed the insecure JRE folders under those program installations and replaced them with the updated JRE folder from the Java installation (JVM for DW). Granted, this was a bit of a gamble since the registry was not modified, but I had not experienced any problems until I kept getting the installation failure reported here for the CS5 DW update failure with no explanation.
    Realizing that Dreamweaver is still a 32-bit app even when running on 64-bit Win 7, and I was running the 64-bit version of Java 1.6 v20, I thought I should have used the 32-bit version of Java to replace the insecure version installed under Dreamweaver.  I tried that, as above, but the DW CS5 update still failed.
    Then I tried to reinstall CS5 Dreamweaver only, which succeeded with the older insecure JRE which then immediately got flagged by Secunia PSI.  Furthermore, the Dreamweaver update still failed with no explanation.  I noticed that some of the previous Java files (by their dates) were still left in the DW installation JVM folder, after the re-install.  So next I removed the entire Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS5 folder, and did a clean reinstall of Dreamweaver CS5 only.  It was immediately detected again by Secunia PSI as have an insecure version of JRE.  However, this time when I did the Dreamweaver update, it succeeded (v11.0 build 4916) on my 64-bit Win 7 machine.
    So the choice currently appears to get Dreamweaver CS5 updates with an older insecure version of the JRE or
    not get Dreamweaver updates but be secure with the latest JRE manually installed.  My university security people will not tolerate the former
    I don't understand why Adobe does not put the latest JRE's as part of their standard updates.  Moreover, why put them in the Adobe installations at all--which is causing this security problem of older insecure JRE's--and instead use the main Java installation on the user's machine (and if absent, require users to install Java), if Java is really needed.
