Dreamweaver CS4 Problem

I got CS4 a couple of days ago, and it worked fine. Today
when I launched it, after the splash screen finished loading and
the window opened, it froze for a few seconds, then goes completely
white and "not responding" appears beside the name.
This is also happening with Illustrator CS4, every time I
open it the same thing happens.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

What are your machine specs?

Dreamweaver CS4 problems

After defining a site in Dreamweaver CS4 with Coldfusion 8 as
my testing server I am unable to connect to MySQL databases with
it. I get the message:
1. The URL specified for this site's testing server may be
incorrect:
http://localhost:8500/mysite/
2. The testing server may be incorrectly configured (for
example, the testing server may not be running).
Uninstalling and reinstalling CS4 didn't do anything so I
reinstalled Dreamweaver CS3 and everything works just fine. Any
ideas why Dreamweaver CS4 is having trouble with this?

Dreamweaver CS4 problem: .swf banner

Good Morning
Im having a problem with an .swf banner that i have designed in flash and trying to get it to display on a website...
In the past this has never been a problem... simply "Insert" > "Media" > "SWF".... and make sure the file is in the same folder etc......
But since transferring over to CS4 the .swfs stopped working.... so as a quick fix we changed the banners to static images.... but this is not ideal.
It shows the swf in dreamweaver when in design view and you click "PLAY" in the properties... however it doesn't work when published nor does it work in the "Preview" it simply shows a white box... doesn't even register there is a missing file or anything... even when you right click on the area, it does not come up with the flash player details...
Can anyone offer any help on this issue?
Everything that has been done is in design view.... i have no clue about scripts...
Thank you very much in advance

Thanks for your reply. I cant post a link as its an internal website so therefore user name is required :/ however i have copied teh source code to see if this is of any help.........
Thanks again

Dreamweaver CS4 interface problems in Win 7 Ultimate 64bit

I'm experiencing some frutratingly bizzare behavior with Dreamweaver CS4 and Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and I'm hoping someone might now how to fix the issues.
1) When creating a new site by selecting "Site/New Site..." or "Site/Manage Sites..." the fields for selecting "Local root folder" and "Default images folder" always select a directory above where I tell it.
For example if I tell it to use "E:\ClientFiles\Client\website\" it always selects "E:\ClientFiles\Client\". and the only solution is to write in the proper directory manually.
2) Possibly related to the above targeting problem. In a document, even an new empty xhtml, if I place an image on the page and double click on that image to replace it with another I get the dialog box for selecting the new image, but on pressing "OK" nothing happens. The same thing occurs if I select the fodler icon in the properites at the bottom. The only methods that work are either deleting the placed image and then placing a new image or deleting the "Src" info in the "properties" panel and then clicking the folder icon next to "Src".
You can see how this would get frustrating after a while.
I've tried a complete reinstall of CS4, deleting the Dreamweaver cache file, and I get the same behavior on my laptop which is also running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
Any help would be appreciated. I've submitted this behavior to Adobe support as well in hops that it can some how be resolved.

Both are known issues in DW on Win 7 and Vista. It's not just 64 bit.
Until Adobe issues a patch, the workarounds you describe are the only solutions for the timebeing.

Problems to Download Dreamweaver CS4 with Akamai Download Manager!

I want to download Dreamweaver CS4 Italian Windows Trial version.
I have Internet Explorer 7, PC with OS Windows XP x64bit Corporate, Core2Quad Q9650, Motherboard MSI P45Platinum with Ethernet 10/100/1000,
4GBRAM,3 HDD 500GB WesternDigital,Nvidia GeForce 9400GT.
I have installed "Akamai Download Manager ActiveX" control asked on the top of window popup.
Clicked Yes:Installation confirmation.
But I have tried to click the button "Download" and just one window with this message appears and disappears immediately:
Per scaricare il software è necessario installare Akamai Download Manager...
Problemi di download?
Assistenza per il download...
Il sistema non dispone dei requisiti minimi per eseguire Akamai Download Manager.
(The system doesn't meets the minimum system requirements to run Akamai Download Manager.)
I can't download anything. Why?
I have disable Pop-ups Blocker, and disabled also Anti-Phishing Filter.
Disabled also Antivirus and the Firewall.
Set and lowered Security Protection from Tools>Internet Options: to "Medium"; and also, another time, set to "Personalized" with all the controls
switched to "Active".
Set Privacy>Settings>"Accetta tutti i cookie"(lowered to full bottom).
I have read this Akamai Download Manager FAQ:
-"Nothing happens when I click the download link"
If nothing happened after you clicked the download link, either your pop-up blocker or a high security setting on your web browser may have stopped
the Akamai DLM window from opening.
If you have a pop-up blocker enabled in your web browser or in your Internet toolbar (such as the Yahoo! toolbar or the Google toolbar), you will
need to disable your pop-up blocker to start your download. For additional information, and for instructions on changing your security setting, see
the "Akamai Download Manager system requirements" (ServiceNote kb400530).
Note: The download manager can sometimes take up to a minute to load. Please allow time for the initial loading before assuming there is a problem
Thus, I have followed this rules in Akamai Download Manager System Requirements:
Internet Explorer 7
1) Access your Internet options from the Windows Control Panel (Internet Options) or by selecting Tools > Internet Options in Internet Explorer
2) Select the Security Tab
3) Click Custom Level
4) Scroll through the list of security options and set:

-Downloads > File download > Enable
-Miscellaneous > Allow script-initiated windows without size or position constraints > Enable

5) Click OK
6) Click OK again
But nothing changes.
On my PC I have also this installation: "J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 5" and "Java(TM)6 Update 15".
But the download doesn't start at all.
1) How can I do to download Dreamweaver CS4-Windows-ITALIAN language?
2) Is it possible to download 364.8 MegaBytes without Akamai Download Manager?
Please Hurry!

another option you may have is resettofactory
start- run- type:
cmd
press enter
type:
cd c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader
press enter

press enter
please perform a backup first
test your browser before you restore your backup, and to be ssafe I would do a selective restore
open DTM, go to backup/restore- advanced
top left click on file-open
find your backup, it will load on the left side
you current working BB will be on the right side
transfer ONLY the absolute important databases from the left to the right(address, cal, phone logs, messages, sms, tasks, memo)... dont do any that you dont know and dont do any OPTIONS ones

Problem with Dreamweaver CS4 after upgrade to Lion

I am having a problem after upgrading to Lion, with my Dreamweaver CS4 . When I try to use the bold button the text completely dissapears from the screen in design view The text is still there as it shows up in preview and also shows up in code view. Has anyone else had similar problems since the upgrade? and is there going to be a fix for it.

http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/faq.html#lion-os
There are a number of known compatibility issues with Creative Suites and Lion

Template url problem in Dreamweaver CS4

Hi there,
Thank you very much for reading this post. I am having a problem with templates in Dreamweaver CS4, I am following the correct procedures to build a template, but when I link the pages together and update the template, the url has not been changed/updated on the child pages.
Here is an example:
Template:
../content/section/pagename.html
Child Page:
/section/pagename.html
Missing out the first part of the link, when the pages are loaded, obviously, they are not going to the correct part of the website
Please, can anybody give me some advice, as this problem is very quickly, driving me mad.
Thank you.
John

I observe this problem too on my Vista x64 machine with CS4
using dual monitors and split code/design views, and have found
others who have this problem by searching Google.
Description of problem: Roughly 50% of the time, when
switching between files (regardless of type) and trying to select a
block of code with my mouse (dragging over some code with the left
button), it appears to work normally (the intended code is
highlighted). However, when then attempting to CTRL-C (cut) or
paste, the selected code instantly changes to a much larger block
of code (usually selecting a specific div block or something). The
cut or pasted code is then the larger (unintended) block of code.
Once the code view selection works for a particular file
(either it worked from the start or I poked at it long enough to
work), it seems to remain working until switching to another file
and then returning.
Also, Dreamweaver CS3 didn't have this problem, so it's CS4
only.
This is a workflow nuisance much like a word-processor
deciding to insert a % character randomly every 10 seconds while
typing.
I found a Google groups thread
here
in which a poster writes that deleting the Dreamweaver
configuration file fixes this temporarily (the problem eventually
shows up again, and you lose all your customizations by doing
this). The posters in this thread also describe the same problem
with other hardware configurations.
My current workaround is to type return then backspace when
dropping in to the code-view of another file--kind of a pain, but
at least predictable. I also tried avoided the issue by: (a)
selecting something in the design view and then selecting something
in the code view, and/or (b) telling Dreamweaver to show the
"element view" (right click in design view, element view, Full),
but this latter action may be superfluous.
I'd be very interested if someone were to post a simple fix
for this problem.
thanks!
JP
PS. David: I've learned a lot from your books. Thanks for
writing them!

I upgraded from Dreamweaver CS4 to CS6. but now "an TFP error occured - cannot make connection to host". I spent hours with the host technician and we cant find the error. I reinstalled DW4 and it connects to host perfectly. Anyone else seen this problem?

I upgraded from Dreamweaver CS4 to CS6. but now when I want to upload I get "an TFP error occured - cannot make connection to host". I spent hours with the host technician and we cant find the error. I reinstalled DW4 and it connects to host perfectly. Anyone else seen this problem?
Mac OS 10.8.5
None of these issues are causing the error in DW CS6. We have double checked all of them and we have everything exactly right. Also I have exactly the same SiteSetup in DW CS4 and that works perfectly well. Could there must be factor in 6 that didn't exist in 4? Something that isnt in the SiteSetup but in some hidden dialog box ?
I can also upload to my host using Fetch, a third party FTP. And as I said DW CS4 works fine. So the problem is not with my host, its with DW CS6 in particular.

Thank you Jon, that fixed it perfectly. You have saved me from going crazy. The only difference I see now is in "Server Name" it changed what I had entered (my ftp address) to "Remote Server"; which seems odd -- but it works! Although I know there maybe also some other dialog box I have never seen
Of course I saw that menu item "Import" and but I thought thats obviously not for me: "Why would I want to import an entire website?". I did not however see "Export the selected site" for thats only a tiny icon in the footer. However I would have thought the same: "Why would I want to export my entire website?".
An observation: I've seen this problem in a lot of Adobe software, the menu-names of items are obscure, non descriptive. What would be better would be for the menu names or popups to say "Export Site Setup settings" and "Import Site Setup settings"

Mozzilla problems with Dreamweaver CS4

I write a weekly blog/column using Dreamweaver CS4 and some of my readers who use Mozzila are saying that my column is not formatting correctly.
They can see it in IE and Safari no problem. Mozzilla is just not working.
Here's my url www.ralphspic.com
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Checking that setting does not really give me any option. It's default is the CSS which is where it's at now.
But you're suggesting I set it to HTML?
Thanks again.
If you go to the Modify->Page Properties, click on Title/Encoding. That is where the doctype is set. The DTD should be set to anything, right now browsers have to render in quirks mode because there is nothing.
Are you updating this whole thing manually strictly in DW? I'm not sure of your hosting situation, but have you considered the pre-built solutions like a Wordpress? Through out all the issues of designing/writing HTML and use an online based tool and editor like is built into that?

Synchronize problem with Dreamweaver CS4

Hi all,
I was wondering whether any of you can offer any advice or help with a problem I have with Dreamweaver CS4.
The problem is regarding the Synchronize feature within Dreamweaver, for example after I have made a change to a web page and want to upload this to the internet, the software detects what files have changed which is fine but against the file it has the word and symbol called "Resolve" and this is where I am stuck because I cannot click on the Resolve button to change it to "Put" because the icon is grey so therfore I am unable to upload any changes to any websites.
If anybody can help me then it would be very much appreciated.
Cheers
Daniel

Hi Hans- G
Many Thanks for this. I will go and have a look. It is strange as I have never experienced this problem before.

Problem with Dreamweaver CS4 workspace

Hi
I have just installed the Adobe CS4 Design Premium software on my Macbook Pro (OS X) and I have a problem or two with the Dreamweaver CS4 workspac:
1) When I have no file open, no matter which workspace I choose from the drop down list, I have a "see-through" area where files are generally displayed (see attached screen shot). This means I can see my desktop picture, or any other open files, in the background. This is very desturbing! If I click in that open space it also takes me out of Dreamweaver.
How can I get just a basic grey background in my workspace, instead of the silly see-though??
2) I have no close, minimize or maximize icons at the top left as I have in Photoshop or Lightroom!?!! Why is this and how can I get it there?
Thank you very much in advance for anyone who can help!

Dreamweaver CS4 Lightbox Gallery Problem

Hello Everyone,
I am using Dreamweaver CS4 on a Mac and I am a beginner at producing my website, just so you know. I am using lightbox gallery for my photo gallery on my website and everything works fine except that when you click on the picture to start the gallery there is a question mark that pops up where there should be instead the enlarged picture. When I preview it using Safari the enlarged photo pops up with no problem, the question mark pops up only when I upload the website online. I have been trouble shooting to the best of my ability, but to no avail. Please someone, show me what I am doing wrong.

</script>
</body>
</html>
And the website URL is: http://majesticmonumentvalley.com/photogallery.html
Please note that I have not customized my own photos in the gallery because they only end up with the question mark so I wanted to fix this problem before I started putting my own photos on the website.
Thank you for your time.

Hello,
Thank you for your response. I put my own photos into the gallery and made sure they were located in the images folder. I previewed it in Safari and all was well. But, yet again, when I uploaded it online it does the same thing- a question mark appears instead of the enlarged image. The thumbnail images are fine, it is just the enlarged images giving me grief. What am I doing wrong?

Troubleshoot synchronization problems in Dreamweaver CS4

I am now having problems linking files; ie PDFs on my site in Dreamweaver CS4
I found this trouble shooting guide and followed both suggestions, but neither is working for me, any suggestions?
Here is a link to the adobe site describing the problem:
Thanks so much! Issue When you use Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 and CS5 to synchronize files or upload files to a server, you experience one of the following issues: * When you put files, Dreamweaver warns you that the remote file has changed on the server: "my_file.htm has changed on the remote server since your last get or put operation. Putting it may overwrite changes to the file. Do you wish to put the file anyway?" However, you are sure that the remote files haven't changed. * The Synchronize preview dialog box does not correctly list the files that should be synchronized. * The Synchronize preview dialog box says no synchronization is necessary, but you know some files have changed. Note: Synchronization underwent major enhancements in Adobe Dreamweaver 8. The current version of Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 and CS5 uses similar technology. Reason When you put or get a file in Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 and CS5, Dreamweaver locally stores the remote and local date/time stamps in files called dwsync.xml, which are located in hidden _notes folders in the same folder as the files being transferred. Occasionally, the dwsync.xml files can become corrupted.

Sorry I guess the link did not show but the paragraph describes it, I have cleared the cache, deleted the dwsync files and searched for all of them on my computer but I still can'y load a simple link....

Css copy paste problem still a problem in Dreamweaver CS4

Hi all, I know this one has been discussed before, but this is still a major usability issues with the product with no practical solution available.
For some reason no one seems to be able to mark http://forums.adobe.com/thread/209290?start=50&tstart=0 as unanswered, yet numerous posts stating it isn't resolved.
Therefore, I'm starting this request to see if there is a solution.
For those of you unaware, the issue affects Dreamweaver CS4 code view. After editing in code view (usually with CSS files though others have reported other code types) for a little while (sometimes within seconds, sometimes after many minutes of use) and then when you copy (Ctrl-C) the application selects all text and copies that. Usability wise, you've just lost your place in the code (which you may have spent some time finding in a complex file) and what you wanted to copy is not what's in the clipboard. So frustrating.
The issue is similarly repeated with pasting (i.e. you select some text or a place to paste and the system selects all before pasting from clipboard).
So does anyone know of a patch to fix this yet?
Thanks

Problem with a function of Dreamweaver Cs4

Hi. Excuse me for my bad Inglish, but i am italian. I have a
problem with Dreamweaver CS4. Before I have used the last version,
CS3 and there were a function call image viewer (Insert >
Multimedia objetcts > Image Viewer). In this new version, this
function there is not. It's possible create the same effect with
another function?
Thank's

The size of one line is 1024.
if(bArray.length == 1023){
out.write(bArray);
byte[] temp = new byte[1];
temp[0] = 100;
out.write(temp);
}else{
out.write(bArray);
In the 27 row the JCO trim the length of the line to 1023 bytes. The last byte is 100.
And for this Problem I add the byte.

Thomas
