Triggered some mode where buttons are active and I cant edit anything. How to exit?

Not sure what I pressed to get into this mode, since I've never used it before but how do I get out of it? I didnt see anything on the screen or in the dropdowns. Using Fireworks CS4

It doesnt say anything, but all "hotspots" work like real buttons and I cant edit anything. Any idea how to get back to regular editing?

Premiere Pro & Audition tifferent time settings and cant edit anything correctly.

In Premiere Pro i put video, edit it in After Effects but audio in Audition.
When all is correct then i speed up video in Premiere pro but since audio speedup is shi-bad therefore i speed up in audition BUT ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET CORRECT TIME LINE IN PREMIERE TO PUT IN IN AUDIOTION.
In Audiotion Effect/Time and pitch/Strech and pitcher when i put same speed as in Premiere, Audition does the opposite.
Thats one fuc-bad bug/difference. Ok. So then ill try to hover with mouse video i just speed up lenght in Premiere. Hovering gives in, out point times and total time of clips leght. Right? Maybe.. couse if i put that lenght in Audidiotion as desired legnght, clicked save and ctrl+s alt+f4 and see in Premiere.. THEN IS SOMEHOW A LOT SHORTER THEN IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE.
In Idiotion i can change time settings and none helps.
In PremiProion i can change to audio time and that isnt corrent also.
Even just opening audio in Audition from Premiere without speed up they show whatever you change a different times.

Clip with Video/Audio i put in Premiere
Divided
Video clip right click replace with After Effect composition.
and what i do in premiere doesnt matter couse lenght i ckeck in Premiere hovering over other example video (to see the lenght witch to write in desired Audition speed up couse in audition 115% speedup is speedown for any illogical reason)
So Original ivdeo/audiot i speed up to see leght hovering with mouse over
BUT in Audition it shows ( i dont care what it shows i just need to put correct value in percentage in Audition but since that also doesnt work i need to know correct leght)
SO how long video i need?
In premiere audio original leght witch is now open in audition
OR in speedup settings
LOL WUT? Different duration bug also and doesnt change ANYTHING couse differences allways were for one clip- too long for other too short when using times from premiere.
SO 115 % eh? If we dont look then all is fine and i dont care what is in premiere in end and i dont need to read that duration is now too long. I would automatically just save export and then in hollywood only see something was wrong with this premieridiotion software but not my assumtions.
Ok since i saw that 115% in premiere now turnet too long..
I check whats wrong for some time. Then i try all again slow and i see there duration.
Ok i enter duration witch we now check in premiere (where else?, the clip is shortened in premiere)
AND NOW ITS TOO SHORT
Heres time settings. NONE SHOW EXACT LENGHT OF AUDIO SAME AS IN PREMIERE
SO what are time FPS in Premiere? Whats the difference? Shouldnt they work at least on some standarts?
ps. also adding to bug of ****** Premiere audio speed up and solution bugs in Audition, here another bug- YOU CANT ENTER THIS CUSTOM FPS SPEED AS I SEE IN PREMIERE IT WANTS TO WORK WITH AUTOMATICALLY 24,81 fps
AND WHY WOULDNT THEY BE AUTOMATICALLY SYNCHRONIZED if audio is LINKED TO PREMIERE???

How do I set up Dreamweaver CS5.5 to live edit Wordpress Themes?

Cant edit songs on my iPhone because the music is part of a playlist?

I have a lot of music on my iTunes, so I induvidually selected the music I wanted and put it in a playlist in my iTunes. I transfered it to my iPhone and now I cant edit anything from it because its part of a playlist. When i open my iphone in itunes and go to the music, all of the checkmarks are grey and it wont allow me to edit or delete any of the songs or the music info. This is extremelly frusturating because it was working fine two days ago, and I could edit everything even know it was in a playlist. Yesterday my iTunes deleted every song on my iPhone, so when i re-synced it it wouldnt allow me to edit anything. I have been looking for a solution for hours and have found none. Can someone please help me on this? Is there a way I can highlight just the songs in my desired playlist, but in my whole music library?

The playlist metadata may not have been transfered correctly and you may have to recreate the lists. Also, music ripped from your CDs may now appear as if from a different account or DRM protected and won't sync. You may have to re-rip them to your new iTunes library.

Trouble updating to v11.03 for Dreamweaver CS5 ME (Middle Eastern)

I have Dreamweaver CS5 Middle Eastern edition, I'm trying to update to version 11.03 (found on the Dreamweaver Support Center)
http://www.adobe.com/support/dreamweaver/downloads_updaters.html
But when I try to update it says that the update is not applicable.
I assume it's not for the ME edition. And the Update check from within Dreamweaver says it's up to date.
Does anyone know if it's possible to update the ME edition to v11.03?
Thanks.

Hi,
did you consider that (might be important for you): "For example, you can't use the Middle Eastern updater with a non-Middle Eastern ... version number on Windows by selecting the Help > About Dreamweaver, ..."

Dreamweaver CS5.5 crash on edit

I have been working through a book learning to set up a MySQL database. I set up my computer as a testing server using XAMPP. Things were going well for quite a while. Now a serious problem is emerged.
Every time I try to edit a file for any site in Dreamweaver CS5.5, as soon as I try delete something selected or even type a character, Dreamweaver crashes. Over and over. The error message is
Access to Macintosh HD:Applications:XAMPP:xamppfiles:htdocs:temp.html was denied.
Now I have tried to be careful about changing permissions, and don't believe that I intentionally did this.

...Could it be something to do with the project I am working on?
It's possible.
Since both machines were affected (I assume they are accessing the same files), and neither machine seems to have responded to the cache/personal config fix, it could be the old 8K bug...
From outside DW, check if you have any files that are 8192 bytes (8Kb). If you do, open and modify them in a text editor. Add a long winded html comment for example. Something that will change the file size and save. Then try to start DW.
If you don't have any 8K files, have you done anything else to both installations of DW, like add a new extension?
Restoring Preferences may be the next step...

Downloading and editing an existing WordPress site in Dreamweaver CS5.

Hello! New to the forums, here.
I'll try to be brief. I've got a WordPress site in-place at metalmeter.com that is hosted through HostGator. Basically, what I'm looking to do is get the site from the remote server and edit it in Dreamweaver CS5, previewing all changes on a local testing server before putting the updated contents back on the remote server.
Now, let me be clear: I've tried plenty of the tutorials. I've watched hours of videos. I still can't get it configured properly. I've got the FTP connection to the remote server running smoothly. I've got XAMPP installed. I'm having difficulties (and I apologize for being vague), and I just don't know where the problem is located. In my htdocs folder for XAMPP, I've got two subfolders 'metalmeter' for the remote server's downloaded contents, and 'wordpress' for the wordpress installation that every page seems to be pointing me toward. What confuses me is that when I try and open the uppermost index.php file on the remote server, the dynamically discovered content is not being displayed in the live view with my local testing server. I want to be viewing my existing WordPress site in its entirety exactly as I see it online while I'm editing it, and then pushing back updated files to the /public_html/ root directory of the remote server so that I can edit the site from my local client. I'm extremely new to Dreamweaver, so any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
If you know how to do exactly what I'm trying to do and have been successfully viewing and editing your existing WordPress site in Dreamweaver for upload, please take some time to explain the set-up. I'd be forever in your debt!

I've been following this discussion for a while now and I don't understand why you hope to edit articles from DW. That's what the WP Admin panel is specifically designed for. Besides, you won't find your articles in any of the site files because they don't exist there.
I agree I don't see any reason to want to edit a Wordpress site in Dreamweaver. If you are using Wordpress then you may as well put Dreamweaver in the bin. Although people do actually want to edit and manipulate the design in Dreamweaver (including myself) and from what I've read its possible but I've never found a source which explains fully how to achieve this and those that I have it seems too much effort to even bother about.
I guess the Dreamweaver environment feels more like home and is more user friendly.
To put it another way, a typical WordPress installation contains around 800 files in some 80 folders. Those files don't contain any content, just a whole lot of PHP code. In fact, the only page most people ever see on your site is the index.php page which is dynamically created over & over by the server with content from the MySql and various include files.
For sure and that's why people who use Dreamweaver and feel the need to manipulate a Wordpress site in Dreamweaver because Wordpress is 'in vogue' get lost. Wordpress just containes a lot of pages with nothing to see apart from some php, many of who will not understand one jot.
Unless you're a coding guru, you should definitely NOT touch any of the core WP files as this could cripple your site. If you want to customize your Theme, look at the CSS and include files in your Themes folder. See Anatomy of a WordPress Theme:http://yoast.com/wordpress-theme-anatomy/
lol your not wrong there!
For a quick tip on Theming, open your remote site in Firefox equipped with the 'Web Developer Toolbar'. Edit CSS on screen. Save changes to your local site and upload it to the remote server. No testing server required.
Wordpress is Wordpress and Dreamweaver is Dreameaver. As far as I can make out the two don't mix.
Ideally you would just choose a Wordpress theme which most relates to the nice site you have designed in Fireworks of which you won't find any however goodthe themes are. Then manipulate the themes css that's if you can understand it. Even for a seasoned css expert its heavy going because everyone produces css differently to achieve the same results.
Leave Wordpress well anlone unles you're going to use it out of the box so to speak or as a web-developer don't mind a bit of reverse engineering.

How do i download my PHP site and edit it with Dreamweaver CS5?

I have followed the instructions and installed MAMP for mac. Connected and downloaded the entire site.
When i open the index.htm file it appears with a URL for the main website.
When i place it in live view the website code and design appear, but i cant edit it.
When i copy the code and save it then open the index.htm file the design appears without the links to the flash, gifs, etc and looks pretty basic.
the page appears with the following meta tag
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://playconcert.com">

Have you tried Inspect mode? If not try this:
Open your page in Split Design/Code view. Start Live View. Start Inspect mode.
Move the mouse around in Live View. Notice that the element under the mouse is automatically selected in Code View. Click on the element that you'd like to edit. Make your edit in Code View. Press F5 to refresh Live View.
Repeat, if necessary

How to enable syntax highlighting for jspf files on Dreamweaver CS5.5 on Mac

I ran into an issue where I couldn't get the color coding (color coding style) for java server pages fragments (.jspf) files to show syntax highliting.
I followed the adobe instructions on Changing and adding file extensions recognized by Dreamweaver without any luck.
Here is the solution that worked for me:
On a Mac:
1. Edit the /Users/YOUR USER/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS5.5/en_US/Configuration/DocumentTypes/MMDocumetTypes.xml
Note: the Adobe instructions tell you to edit /Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5/Configuration/DocumentTypes/MMDocumetTypes.xml (Editing this file didn't do anything for me, so you need to change the file above instead)
Find,
<documenttype id="JSP" servermodel="JSP" internaltype="Dynamic" winfileextension="jsp,jst" macfileextension="jsp,jst" file="Default.jsp" writebyteordermark="false" mimetype="text/html">
Replace with,
<documenttype id="JSP" servermodel="JSP" internaltype="Dynamic" winfileextension="jsp,jst,jspf" macfileextension="jsp,jst,jspf" file="Default.jsp" writebyteordermark="false" mimetype="text/html">
2. Edit the /Users/YOUR USER/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS5.5/en_US/Configuration/Extensions.txt
In the All: section on top add the jspf extention right after jsp in my example it looked like this
HTM,HTML,SHTM,SHTML,HTA,HTC,XHTML,STM,SSI,JS,JSON,AS,ASC,ASR,XML,XSL,XSD,DTD,XSLT,RSS,RDF, LBI,DWT,ASP,ASA,ASPX,ASCX,ASMX,CONFIG,CS,CSS,CFM,CFML,CFC,TLD,TXT,PHP,PHP3,PHP4,PHP5,PHP-D IST,PHTML,JSP,WML,TPL,LASSO,JSF,VB,VBS,VTM,VTML,INC,SQL,JAVA,EDML,MASTER,INFO,INSTALL,THEME,CONFIG,MODU LE,PROFILE,ENGINE,SVG:All
and I added the jspf and it looks like this now,
HTM,HTML,SHTM,SHTML,HTA,HTC,XHTML,STM,SSI,JS,JSON,AS,ASC,ASR,XML,XSL,XSD,DTD,XSLT,RSS,RDF, LBI,DWT,ASP,ASA,ASPX,ASCX,ASMX,CONFIG,CS,CSS,CFM,CFML,CFC,TLD,TXT,PHP,PHP3,PHP4,PHP5,PHP-D IST,PHTML,JSP,JSPF,WML,TPL,LASSO,JSF,VB,VBS,VTM,VTML,INC,SQL,JAVA,EDML,MASTER,INFO,INSTALL,THEME,CONFIG,MODU LE,PROFILE,ENGINE,SVG:All
That's it, Quit Dreamweaver and open it up again. Open the .jspf file and see the color coding (syntax highlighting)
Hope this helps you and seves you time figuring it out. If this helped, do a good thing, next time you figure something out, tell others about it to save their time too, like I did. Enjoy.

Styles being dropped on network shared folder files in Dreamweaver CS5.5

Hello, apoligies if this has already been solved but I could not find anything similar. Recently we have upgraded our staff from Dreamweaver CS4 to CS5.5 and are having some issues with pages dropping the stylesheets which are linked relatively. The relative files are located on a shared network drive which is mapped in Windows 7 as a drive (e.g. My Computer shows the drive as R:).
In Dreamweaver design view up the top it reads:
Address: file:///R|/acrrm/tinnitus/course_content/001.html
and there is a yellow bar up the top which reads:
'common_styles.css' is a remote file and cannot be edited.
We never had this issue before so I was wondering if it was a new limitation of CS5.5 or if there was something I should look out for in the site definition.
Interestingly enough I was able to fix this on one machine by randomly toggling the live code/view buttons, havent had any luck doing that to other machines though.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Here are the specs:
O.S: Windows 7
Version: Dreamweaver CS5.5
Site Definition: Network shared drive

Interestingly enough I was able to fix this on one machine by randomly toggling the live code/view buttons, havent had any luck doing that to other machines though.
I would have to say that this operation could not possibly fix anything. I suspect that simply waiting the same amount of time as this operation required would have returned the same result, and it sounds like there is some latency in your network.
Your site is entirely contained on a network shared drive, right? Or is it that only SOME files are on the network shared drive (R:)? Also, where is it you are seeing this?
Address: file:///R|/acrrm/tinnitus/course_content/001.html
