Dreamweaver CS4 isn't letting me unlock (check out) my files

So I'm in a pickle here. Just the other day I was working on my site and I was checking in and out files from my website. Today when I go and try to check out files from my website it just says something like....
'File activity incomplete'
and then...
'index.php is a locked file and can be viewed but not changed. What would you like to do with this file? View | Cancel'
No one else has these files checked out on the server, it's just me and according to Dreamweaver all of the files have a lock icon next to them and are all checked int, it's just not letting me check them out.
Just a few days ago things were working fine, I haven't done anything at all since then and now I can't find any way of unlocking these files to make changes to them!
The funny thing is if I create a new page, check it in (which locks the file) and then check it out (unlocking it), it works just fine and let's me check the new page in and out without any errors at all.
What's going on here, better yet, how can I fix this?
I'm using CS4 by the way.

Hi,
If in iChat > Preferences > Alerts you have the AppleScript set on File Transfers to Auto Accept then reset them on each computer.
Have you tried sending them in different ways ?
Dropping on a Buddy with No Chat open.
Dropping in a Chat (Text Field) and sending with no accompanying text.
Same with text.
From the Buddies Menu with Text Chat open
Right Click a Buddy (same menu)

Dreamweaver CS6 crashes when checking out a file

Not sure what all the information you might need, but here are the basics.
When I check out a file the following happens:
1. Open Dreamweaver CS6
2. Check out a file (both Double click on file or Right clicking and choosing 'Check Out')
3. 'Background File Activity' window spastically flashes for a minute then program crashes.
4. Reopen Dreamweaver CS6, file is checked out and usable.
I have tried reinstalling and deleting my WinCacheFile, no change. This happens with all servers I currently connect to. Checking In a file doesn't do this.
Does anyone have an idea on what my next steps might be to fix this?
I'm running WinXP and have the CS6 Suit.
Thanks in advance

Can't check out one file individually

Hi
I am on Dreamweaver CS5 on PC and have this weird problem where when I click on an individual file on the "Remote Server" side of the file menu and then press the "Get" icon - Dreamweaver keeps asking me "Are you sure you want to check out the entire site?". The only available options at this point are Ok and Cancel.
Anybody experienced this problem before? I have no way of checking out individual files!
Cheers
Graham

Are you the only one working on this site? If so, you should disable the check-in/check-out option as it really has no benefit UNLESS you are working from several different locations and are concerned about version control.
Have you tried just double clicking on the local file instead of your procedure? That will always force the GET and CO of the remote file.

How to force checked out CSV Files to open in Excel and not in Notepad

Hi,
I'm looking for some pointers / direction.
.CSV files on SharePoint 2010 document library opens up in notepad by default. I did the DocIcon.xml CSV entry, changed the MIME type in IIS and did the IIS reset. Also on client computer CSV file is associated with MS Excel 2013. Now clicking a CSV file
opens it up in MS Excel.
Now a user checks out a CSV file and the same user clicks on the CSV file, the file is opening in notepad! If other users clicks on the same checked out file (checked out by the first user) it opens up in Excel for them. I've tried the 'Edit in Microsoft
Excel' from the pop up menu but with same result.
How can I force a checked out CSV file to open in MS Excel?
Thanks

1. Highlight one of the images and press cmd+i (or right click and select "Get info")
2. Click the dropdown menu and select Photoshop (you might have to click "Other..." to find it.
3. Then click "Change All" button below.
You're going to have to do this with every different TYPE of image (e.g. jpeg, tiff etc) but once you've covered all the types you won't have the problem again.
Hope this helps!

Checking out Pdf files to Local draft Folder option no longer works after office 2013 installed.

Checking out Pdf files to Local draft Folder option no longer works after office 2013 installed.
Summary :
We are using SharePoint 2010 Ent edition and users were able to checkout Pdf files similar to local drafts folder like any other office file without any problem when they used office 2010.
i.e
Unfortunately ever since their machines upgraded with office 2013 recently , this functionality completely stopped working for PDF files. This has now become a big problem for the users when it comes to check out and replace PDF files.
All browser plugins required for this functionality (i.e SharePoint OpenDocuments Class ) are all available and active. All document libraries are configured to Checkout is required for editing files. Browser version
used at the moment is IE9 (32 bit) version with windows 7.
Can anyone please help with this issue and any help to get away with this problem is much appreciated.

Hi,
Based on your description, my understanding is that the PDF files cannot be checked out to local drafts folder after Office 2013 is installed.
Did this issue occur with Office files?
I recommend to check if the Office files can be checked out to local drafts folder with Office 2013.
And it is recommended to use Office 2010 with SharePoint 2010 for best practice.
Thanks,
Victoria

Best practice for checking out a file

Hello,
What is the SAP best practice to check out a file? (DTR -> EDit or DTR -> Edit Exclusive?)
What are pros and cons of checking out a file exclusively?
Thanks
MLS

Thanks Pascal.
Also, I think if a developer checks out exclusively, makes changes and leaves the company without checking in, the only way is to revert those files in which case all his changes will be gone.

Check out all files of a LabVIEW-Project

We are using LaV 8.5 and Visual Source Safe in a large project.
How can I easy check out all files in my LabVIEW-Project (.lvporj) direcly in LabVIEW, without using Visual Source Safe.
Do I've overseen a simple solution for that?
Actually I have to open al folders /structures, select all files the chcek out.
Message Edited by zav on 07-22-2008 01:39 AM

If you select a (virtual) folder sub-items will be checked out as well.
This is not valid for library folders (lvlib/xcontrol/lvclass) where only the library itself will be checked out.

Dreamweaver CS4 Site creation puts unwanted folders from desktop into File Panel Window

Dreamweaver CS4: My root folder is on the desktop, and everytime I create a new site, inside the Site in the Files Panel it has my folders/files on my desktop in addition to my root folder. How do I prevent this and just have ONLY my project folder in my site folder?
L Sienna

I've said it before and I'll say it again.
Your Desktop is just a folder, but it's not like any other folder on your HD. The more "crap" you keep on it, the slower your system will run, because Windows Explorer (not the browser - the one that opens and manages all of your windows) interacts with it ALL THE TIME so the more stuff it has to go through to run DW, or Photoshop or Windows Media Player or whatever, the bigger the drag on WIndows. The same for Mac OS X and FInder.
Put your site(s) in their own folder in your documents where the most active folder on your HD doesn't have to constantly update with every letter you type in a page.

Editor cannot 'check out' InCopy file

I'm a novice in InCopy but am learning the ropes, however, am having a problem that I can't figure out. The editor who needs to open/edit the InCopy file says she can't check it out. I don't know what to tell her. She has the .icma and .icml files and I don't see a problem on my end. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

The problem:
When a Windows InCopy user opens an .indd file the assignment panel shows all InCopy stories to be unavailable or "checked out". The Mac InCopy and InDesign users all see the same stories as available to be checked out.
The solution:
When the stories are being exported to InCopy files from within InDesign on a Mac, the files extensions were being selected (and deleted) when the files were being renamed. When everyone is on a Mac, this is not a problem.
Don't select the file extension. By default the name, not the extension (.icml) will be selected. Just type your new name and all is good.
Hope this helps someone out there.

Hi,
When you are starting service in OS, you are actually starting the maxdb instance service .
You can set it in auto mode so that you will not get this error. The OS service only establishes the connection to SAP.
As a part of CS install, from CSADMIN part it is just required to send the certificate successfully to OAC0.
Normally no activity is required to be done to under SICF from CS install point of view.
Anirudh,

Checking out support files

I can check out the asp page but support files don't check
out with it. Any thoughts? Just upgraded to 7.0.1

Are the files referenced in the ASP or in the HTML? I don't
think files referenced in the ASP will be identified by the
app.

Why a simple php syntax checker extension doesn't exist yet for Dreamweaver CS4 ?

Hello,
my request is in the subject ;-)
I remember a very useful extension in Golive CS8/9 that did exactly that :
Duplicate from DW the currently edited php/html page to a temp file
Send the temp file to the command line : "/path/to/php -l /path/to/temp/file"
Display the command output ("syntax ok" or "error on line ##") directly INSIDE dreamweaver
It required only that an apache/php package was installed on the developer's computer (using whater Xampp, or Wamp, etc.)
Though you might say to me that I should use a PHP IDE wich is dedicated specifically to that goal, I wonder why a such extension does not exist... as it is a great time saver when rapid syntax checking is required before uploading...
I may be wrong but i can't find anything close to that via google / adobe studio exchange search results...
Should I start to learn the dreamweaver CS4 API extension documention or someone can give me a hint to achieve that ?
Thanks everyone.

Hi M.Zografski
I have tried to clear that cache the only thing I keep running into is that the file that is listed doesn't even match the way my dreamweaver loaded onto my computer. I get up to the point of the Adobe file then my next one is shown as Adobe Dreamweaver CS4- I choose this and then there is no file in there showing the language at all. I have a file listed as %AppData% and if I choose this one then it shows Thinstall file and this opens into Adobe AIR- then this has some registry files and another fold as %drive_C% which opens to Adobe then to Dreamweaver then to en_US then Configuration which does contain a file RDSINFO and it appears to be empty. This seems very round about to getting to the cache file and I was unsure of whether or not this was what I was indeed looking for. Also if I try to search for this WinFileCache with that file name I get no results.
Why is this being so stubborn. I am thinking if I could locate the file then it would all go well
Thanks
Teresa

Dreamweaver CS6 check in check out not working

I frequently experience instances where I check out a file and do not get a green check mark, or a check in a file and do not get a lock symbol. Sometimes, the file is updated on the remote server anyway, sometimes not.
Today, no matter how many times I have tried to check out and check in the home page, the updated file from the local server is not showing up on the remote server.
Can you offer a reason and, more particularly, a solution?
