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?

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.

Mac: can I drag and drop files from Finder into Files panel

I am relatively new to Mac so forgive me if this is obvious.
I just switched from Windows to Mac and now something I used to
know how to do in Windows I can't figure out how to do on Mac. In
Windows I used to open an Explorer window over Dreamweaver, select
some files, and drap and drop them into the Files panel in
Dreamweaver, and they would be sucked in.
Now on the Mac whenever I select the Finder window to select
files to drag and drop, the Dreamweaver panels disappear
completely, rather than just move beneath the Finder window. So
when I'm ready to drag and drop there's no Dreamweaver to drop
into. I see that if I put focus on Dreamweaver, then Finder won't
disappear, and I can click on Finder to begin a drag without
Dreamweaver disappearing but then it is unresponsive to a drop.
In short, I can't seem to drag and drop files from Finder
into Dreamweaver on the Mac. Am I missing something? I'm using
Dreamweaver CS3 on Leopard if that makes any difference.
Thanks,
Jan

I don't believe you can do this on the Mac platform. The only
other thing you could try is to use Spaces and have the Finder open
in one Space and then drag it over to Dreamweaver in another space.
Outside of that I can't think of how this would work.

Is there a way to put a video from facebook into imovie?

Is there a way to put a video from facebook into imovie? The facebook video is on my friends wall. Draging it does not seem to work.

You won't be able to drag and drop it, I think the workaround would be to try and 're-record' it using QuickTime. There's a screen recording ability that will record your hold desktop. My suggestion is to launch QuickTime. Under File Menu > Screen Recording. Get that all setup and ready to hit the red record button. Open Facebook. Playback full screen if possible, then pause it. Start the screen recording, then play the Facebook video. By default, the video will be saved into your Home folder>Movies folder. Open iMovie, go to File Menu > Import > Movies... and then navigate your way to your Movies folder and import that clip into an iMovie Event.

How can I keep lion from generating .DS_Store files on windows network partitions, but not disable it for all network partitions?

How can I keep lion from generating .DS_Store files on windows network partitions, but not disable it for all network partitions? I am fimilar with changing the setting for all network partitions(defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true), but that is undesirable when I connect my laptop to my home network. A preferable solution would be where I could control the writing of these files based on disk format (NTFS vs HFS+).

Go to MacUpdate or CNET Downloads and search for ds_store. There are numerous utilities for preventing them from being transferred to Windows systems.

How can i transfer back up contact from desktop pc working on Windows 7 to iphone 5 working on ios 8.1?

How can i transfer back up contact from desktop pc working on Windows 7 to iphone 5 working on ios 8.1?

You can't restore to a backup that was taken on a device which has a higher version of iOS than on your iPad, you will have to update your iPad to 8.1.3 to be able to restore to it
You should be able to update your iPad via Settings > General > Software Update

ZIP extraction and creation of unwanted folders for them

Hi.
Is there a way to force "archive utility" to put all files from all zip's form folder to unpack all to that folder without paths and replace any duplicates or maybe rename it? In WinRAR that action i can perform without any effort from my side, on Mac i cannot find any app to do that. There is Stuffit, but this app is corny.
Example: I have 30 different zip with pictures, but in some of them are duplicates (same pictures) and what i need is to Archive utility (or other app) to extract all zips into current folder without folders around them, into root of that folder and replace all duplicates with one, so i get one copy of picture instead of 30...
cheers

For every user a folder is created in userhome. One approach is to capture this folder creation event and create the folder structure you need. You need to develop a portal service which will listen to events from userhome repository.
1. Capture folder creation event for user home
2. Create the folder structure you want in this event handler
Check this documentation on how to do this.

Losing formatting in Dreamweaver CS4 site

Hello all! So frustrated!
I have built the rough design of a site in Dreamweaver CS4 using tables to do a lot of the formatting for a lot of information. For some reason, all of a sudden I have lost all table formatting when the site is viewed in any browser. In addition, I have lost some of my spry menu formatting (background color of menu bar) and hyperlink formatting when viewed online even though absolutely nothing looks wrong to me on the design view. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!
Two examples...they are different as we are still deciding on colors:

All browsers will view html and css errors differently. DW Design View isn't a browser though and typically shows you something other than what will be viewed in the real browsers. You can't rely on it for giving you anything but an approximation of what your site could look like.
Always use Preview In Browser to see your actual page in the various browsers. IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera are the minimums I test for on Desktops. I test iOS Safari and Android for mobile by putting everything on a local test server and accessing it via WiFi with a couple of phones (since every emulator I've seen so far has been just as bad as DW's Design View).
HTML and CSS errors are a major cause of display problems/differences between the various browsers/versions/platforms. You should become very familiar with the validators. In addition to the one already given, here is the CSS validator: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

Dreamweaver CS4 - Site pages disappearing

I have been using Dreamweaver CS4 since it first came out and I've created and maintain over 75 sites on the same hosting service, I also have created and maintain many sites on other hosting services. I just started having a very strange problem. This problem has happened with one site that is hosted with my hosting service (Inmotion Hosting) and one site that is hosted elsewhere. Here is what happened today (this is the site that is NOT hosted with my current hosting company)
I started working on this site last week - all was going fine - simply making some changes to site text and adding new site titles and meta descriptions.
I worked on it yesterday and uploaded a couple of pages - all went fine.
I opened the site today (before I even opened Dreamweaver) and went to the site using the url - home page opened fine - I clicked on the "About Us" page and I got the following error message (just to be clear - this is the same thing that happend last week with a different site):
Not Found
The requested URL /contact_request.html was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I opened Dreamweaver and looked at the Local / Remote view page and the page I was tring to access was showing on both the Local and Remote sides - this was NOT a page that I worked on yesterday.
I went to Google to try and see if I could find a reason why this would happen, I found one suggestion that I try to Google the site and the page name that I was trying to access and click on that link.
I did that and it worked - I also pressed Ctrl-F5 several times to make sure that I was not accessing a cached version of the page.
I went into Dreamweaver, made a couple of changes to the page, uploaded it and it worked fine.
I tried a few other pages in the site and found that most pages were coming up fine, some pages would give me that same "Not Found" error.
I closed the site, closed FireFox, shut down my computer, restarted everything and tried again - same problem - sometimes some of the pages will just give me a "Not Found" error - not always the same page.
If I go to Google and search the site and then click on that link - the page will open fine.
I tried contacting my hosting company and they told me that it must be a Dreamweaver syncronization issue.
Does anyone have any ideas??

These links are all 404 not found.

Dreamweaver CS4 vs CS5 putting files

I have both versions installed on my computer. I can put files in CS4 to the server. When I close out of CS4 and use CS5 it (CS5) will not put a file to the server. I can do the test fine and it connects. I have copied all the settings and they are the same. I am useing the ip address of the server. I have disabled the firewall and have tried all settings for FTP type. Then when I go back to CS4 with my firewall turned on the connection works fine I can up load and download as usual. Is there some type of variation on how the two versions work? Any other idea of what to try?

I deleated the Server from CS5 and then closed the program. Opened the CS4 version exported the settings and then imported into CS5 then tried to put the file and it would not go error message says "
test.html - error occurred - An FTP error occurred - cannot put test.html. Access denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem. Make sure you have proper authorization on the server and the server is properly configured.
File activity incomplete. 1 file(s) or folder(s) were not completed.
Files with errors: 1
test.html"
So then I go back to CS4 and it works. In between I have deleated the file off the remote server so that it does not have to overwrite the information. Pretty wierd.

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)

Elements importing photos from iPhoto into nonsensical folders - how do I convert events or import into dated folders from iPhoto into elements?

Please help! Can't seem to find the answer on the website or anywhere else online. I don't see an option to convert events from iPhoto into folders in elements. Any advice would be appreciated.

The whole point of a program like organizer is to ignore the folders and use tags and categories instead. However, if you want to preserve the iphoto events then the way to do it is not to use "from iphoto" but rather to export each event from iphoto separately, organize your folders how you want them, where you want them and then use "from files and folders" instead.

How can I PRINT folders from FCE project files?

Over five years of underwater videography I have accumulated several TB of footage, organized into FCE project files by ocean locale and further sorted by subject matter in "clips" folders in the project files. I use the "log note" field for descriptions, eg scenery, vertebrates, invertebrates, divers.
I understand the product incompatibilities that make my FCE project files unreadable by other software, and I am also beginning to doubt that I can keep my late 2007 MBP running indefinitely. So I want to generate a hard-copy directory to my media drives by printing out the contents of my "clips" folders. While I still can...
Thanks for any ideas or suggestions on how to do this.
Sharron Sussman

Meg, do you happen to know which versions of FCP will import FCE 3.5 projects? Apparently Adobe Premiere Pro will import FCP projects but not FCE - the format needs to be XML, which FCE does not generate.
There's some old FCP software available from 3rd party sellers but I know there are incompatibilities between versions of FCP & FCE of different ages, and would like to avoid them.
If I can make my projects accessible to another editing program, even if it's a lot of work, I'd be happy to leave FCE behind at this point...

How can i put my pictures from my picture files into my iPhotos for photo streaming onto my apple tv?

Hi, I am a new user to iMac and have now bought just about every Mac product you can think of and have just taken delivery of an Apple TV and now want to stream photos but don't know how to transfer photos from my picture files over into my iPhotos for Photo Streaming. Is there an easy way? I have Mac for Dummies but they don't mention it there!! Guess it's too dummy for them!!! Any one out there can help me as I have loads of pics I would like to see on the big screen from time to time

You need to connect the Apple TV and the computer to the same network and then turn on "Home Sharing" in iTunes. Check boxes allow you to select what you want to share.
You'll see a "Computer" icon on the Apple TV and it holds all your music, movies and photos.
