Dreamweaver CC and Windows 8.1 - Can't Find A Valid Editor For This File Extension

Was running the latest version with no issues and then I loaded Office 2013 .. Now when I am in the remote site and try to double click on a .cfm file, I get a dialog box..Can't Find A Valid Editor For This File Extension..
I tried the support chat and they said Dreamweaver support was not available, try again later???
So I thought I would reinstall the CC version and now I can see the Dreamweaver icon next to the files but still ... can't open the file..
Any assistance would be appreciated?
Leo

The issue is only in Windows 8.x where when Dreamweaver CC is installed, it is not able to turn on the file type associations by default. The workaround for now is to manually add the extensions both within Windows and then within Dreamweaver CC itself.
Go to Control Panel > Programs > Default Programs > Set Your Default Programs and select Dreamweaver CC and then select 'Choose defaults for this program' and Select All or the extensions you want to open in Dreamweaver CC
Start Dreamweaver CC and go to Edit > Preferences > File Types/Editors and add '.cfm .cfc' to the extensions and then add C:\Program Files (x86)\Dreamweaver CC\Dreamweaver.exe then click on Apply and Close
That should be it.

DW CC: Can't find a valid editor for this file extension

Hi,
I am using dreamweaver cc for 1 month now. I have been having difficulty opening .asp file.
In the File panel, when i click on one of the asp files, the error message is 'Can't find a valid editor for this file extension'.
To solve this problem, I will right click on the file and choose Open with > Dreamweaver.
However, this is very inconvenient. Someone pls help!

You can configure that in your Operating System. In my version of Windows XP, open any folder and select TOOLS/FOLDER OPTIONS/FILE TYPES then scroll to the asp file type and select DW as the editor.

Support for ColdFusion and other databases were removed from DWCC. You can add them back with the Legacy Extension, or adding a paid extension from DMX Zone...
About 1/2 way down this page for the legacy extension: http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/
It's a paid extension, but adds back a lot of the things that were removed...

Error "Sorry, something's wrong. We can't find a mobile number for this account"

Hi, I received a Summer SIM yesterday (the 100GB/month SIM) and put it into my iPhone 4S. I registered with the EE website and received the verification text, all good so far... When I go to top-up my account online with £10 it comes up with a red error message at the top of the screen: "Sorry, something's gone wrong""We can't find a mobile number for this account. Please associate one with it" screenshot:http://i.imgur.com/nt4Q5sA.png Yet despite this if I look in "my account" it lists my account number and mobile number ( https://myaccount.ee.co.uk/my-account/ ) I tried topping up anyway (despite the red warning) but it just gave me an error at the end ("TOP UP MY DEVICE - ERROR") I also tried going via http://ee.co.uk/ee-and-me/top-up-pay-as-you-go but again I got an error I don't have any credit on my new SIM so I can't call and pay 25p to speak to someone - are there any mods/customer service people on the board that can sort out my account? This is not a great start to using the EE network :/

Hi, thanks for the reply Some other responses to the same question posed on the forum have been replied to by a mod asking the original poster to PM them (and I assume they were able to fix the problem?) >>Did you set up this a/c separate from any other a/c's you may have? No - this is the only EE account I have, created it last night and verified the mobile number by text. >>No one here can have access to your a/c. You need to phone EE. The problem is to speak to someone you need 25p credit on your SIM (which you won't have if you're a brand new customer wanting to top up for the first time) I've found a mobile number for customer services (07953 966250) on the forum that I called from a different mobile and after 15minutes on the phone they have now topped up £10 on my account. I checked and the red warning no longer appears on the top up page. I'm still waiting to see if the "SUMMER100" promo has been properly applied and if the " STOP PACK" / "YES" works, but at least I am now over the first hurdle.

Dreamweaver as custom editor for other file extensions

So, I'm working on a project that requires me to work on some
files with non-standard extensions. Namely, I have some text files
that have a .cm extension, and I have some code files which have no
extension at all. I am connecting to my file store via an FTP
"site" set up in Dreamweaver.
Under preferences->filetypes/editors, I set up ". .cm" for
those two cases, and had selected "Dreamweaver" as the primary
editor.
The files open just fine, and I'm able to edit and save them,
and when I do, the files get "PUT" back up to the FTP server as I
want. However, what I've noticed is that the first time I edit one
of those types of files, and save it, now, from then on in that
session of Dreamweaver, any time I de-focus the window and then
come back to it, the IDE initiates another PUT action of the files
in question, even if the files are unchanged.
However, if I go back into preferences, and remove the
"Dreamweaver" as the primary editor for those two extensions, and
leave that list blank, Dreamweaver still is able to open up the
files as I want, but this weirdness with FTP putting and the
window-focus goes away.
Anyone have any idea why?

This TechNote explains how to add file extensions to be
recognized by DW.

Unfortunately, DW does not handle file with no file extension
very well.

I have a older model Powerbook G4 and I can not find a charger nowhere for this thing... Can someone tell me where I can find one please... I live in Murfreesboro, TN

Hello I am new to this and I have a older model Powerbook G4 I can not find a charger nowhere. Can someone please help me figure out where I can get one? I wanna give it to my 11 year old daughter.

There are generic power adapters for use with old model Apple portables such as this http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/APLPBI65W/ available online; a few of them out there may not have much of a guaranty or look like the original model.
Any new-stock look-alike would be a copy; some from Amazon affiliated stores may be OK. I have older Apple portables (G4) and had been on the look-out for spares, so I have at least two that I know work. These are harder to find in second hand or thrift stores now, and less likely to function. However, there is this support page about the original parts. While adapters such as the macsales model linked above should be OK...
Yet be sure to not get a Magsafe adapter, since the connector & power won't work. The older iBook G4 power adapter and PowerBook G4 units are fairly similar; but note the details below. A 45w adapter for early white iBook (G3) probably won't do when a later model wants at least 60w.

PS: you could try & contact wegenermedia in SC
about this kind of part; they may have something.
Good luck & happy computing!

Can't find "Delete all backups of this file " in Time Machine Actions

I want to free up some space from Time Machine backups, but when I select the folders and go to "actions" the "Delete all backups of <this file>” command that others posters (here) refer to isn't in the Actions drop-down menu. I don't want to just drag them to Trash, but that's the only deletion option. Am I missing something?

Are you doing this via Time Machine, as detailed in #12 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions?
If so, what options do you see?
You might want to try the things in #E4 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

I have no sound in Firefox, but sound does work everywhere else. The mixer on Win7 is not showing a firefox volume option. Where do I go to fix the issue and get sound on the browser, can't find any menu's for this fix.

New system, just setting up. Trouble shot hardware and everything works fine, just can't get any sound on the browser and have no obvious volume control for Firefox. All other volumes are at full

I'm loading up an old Mac Powerbook G4 and want to put Firefox on it. Can't find an archived version for this OS (using Tiger 10.4.1) - is a version of firefox for this Mac still available?

I just need a link to a download of Firefox to fit on this Mac Powerbook G4. I couldn't find any archived and the new Firefox 4 won't work on this Mac.

Yup, your question and Diane's answer helped me also. Tho' I had had problems before getting into the iTunes store I always managed to find a way. Today they had me blocked cold with the "Update to 10" advert no matter what I did. Other questioners are being told, incorrectly as it turns out, that they have to update their OS to accomodate iTunes 10 and upgrade to iTunes 10. I did the download which did not take up much more room on my crowded old hard drive and now I'm back in business.
