Dreamweaver CS5 - Update Template Files after viewing the page in a browser

Hi
Just a quickie I hope someone can help me with.
My site has been created using a Template. Everytime I look at a page in a browser, I get the UPDATE TEMPLATE FILES. Clicking update or don't update has no effect so I'm wondering why this message keeps appearing and how to stop it. I usually use Firefox on Windows 7 but it seems to happen with any browser.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks George

Hi Murray
This is erratic. I don't get it all the time but enough of the time for it to be an annoyance. If I've made a change to content in DW then chosen the Preview in Browser option then exited the browser to return to DW, the alert appears. And it has happened to my delegates in training sessions when they have repeated the same process but with IE.
As I said, it doesn't happen all of the time - we seem to get a run of it then nothing. For example, I was plagued with it all day yesterday but it hasn't occurred once today!!!
Anyway I have temporarily published the site and here is the link - http://www.gbft.co.uk/orchestra/index.html.
Many thanks
George

Dreamweaver CS4 - Update Template Files dialog box doesn't appear

I've just made a small change to my website's template file in Dreamweaver CS4, but I can't figure out how to apply the change to all pages on my site.
As I understand it, a dialog box is supposed to appear immediately after you hit 'Save'. This gives you 'Update' or 'Don't Update' options.
The box does not appear for me. No idea why - I saved the revised template and nothing happened!
Is there another way of updating the webpage files with the revised template? Or can it only be done though the dialog box? If so, how can I bring the box up?
Thanks for any tips, tricks, or explanations...

Well, I'm not sure what rule I've broken. I followed the procedure set out in that tutorial to make my template in the first place, although I used Janine Warner's book 'Teach yourself Dreamweaver CS4' which goes through the same steps as the web tutorial - with the exception of the 'Apply your Dreamweaver template' section, which seems to suggest that you create your web pages first, and turn them into templates later.
I simply created my basic page layout, saved it as a template, and then created every page on my site by clicking 'New from template'. No problems, everything worked well.
I don't see why it would be necessary to create a new page from a template, and then apply the template to the page. Doesn't that amount to using two different methods to do the same thing twice? In any case, there's nothing in the book about 'Applying' a template, so I didn't do it. That's the only point of difference. But is it the problem? Is the book wrong?
Now I've got the book open in front of me at page 196 - 'Edit a template to update web pages created with it'. Interestingly, I may have discovered why it was not possible to edit my link in the Property Inspector.
The book remarks, more or less as an afterthought tacked on to the end of the page, that in order to use the Property Inspector to edit a template, I must first click on the element I wish to edit and then click 'Modify', 'Templates', and 'Make Attribute Editable'. Only then can changes be made.
The book says nothing about editing elements *without* using the Property Inspector, as I attempted when I tried the 'Insert Hyperlink' method, so I'm not sure whether this is possible or not. As it didn't work for me, I'd say not - but it would be nice if the book was specific on this point!
It's amazing how vague some of these tutorials can be - and also rather baffling that they can differ so much from each other. Website construction is all about specifics after all - everything is either 100% right, or 100% wrong. There shouldn't be any room for fuzziness. As it seems I have a specific problem, it must come from a specific, identifiable cause. It should be possible to say, "Ah, now if THAT is going wrong, the error must be HERE. Fix it by doing THIS."
Well, I'll try making the attributes of my elements editable now. I'm not sure if a text link counts as an element (that's another point on which my book is a little vague), but I dare say I'll find out shortly!

Dreamweaver cs5.5 opening files after searching for text code

This just occured this afternoon. I was working on a page and when I went to search for text in the code (ie "/head") dreamweaver would open a previously opened page. In other words I was working on "walk.php" and when I did the search for "/head", dreamweaver opens "add_rsurvey_data.txt". I know what the 2nd file is but I haven't opened it in months. It's just a temp data file that my partner sent me.
I'm using cs5.5
Adobe will not help me.
Thanks
Glenn

"Update Template Files" not working, Dreamweaver CS5

"Update Template Files" does not seem to be working in Dreamweaver CS5.
After making a change to a template and saving it, I get the "Update Template Files" dialog box. It lists all of the files based on the template. So, I click "Update". Then, the "Update Pages" dialog box appears. Any files to be updated already open in Dreamweaver are modified correctly - in memory, that is. However, closed files do not get modified. The "Update Pages" dialog box seems to just get hung up. It just sits there with a status of "Updating...".
Is this an installation issue? ... a template issue? ... or what?
FYI: I am using the 32-bit version for 32-bit Windows Vista.

Not that it will be of any use, the template is here: http://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B4haLf-RrxgTZjVhYzEwOWYtNmMyMC00MWVmLWJiNDgtYTYzM2QzZDI5Zm Fh&hl=en
There have been, of course, numerous updates to it since the problem disappeared.
As for the specifics of what I was trying to change when the problem was first encountered, I was attempting to change a link URI in the navigation bar. However, any change at all would end the same way, with a locked up template synchronizer (or whatever the mechanism is called). Just before I gave up testing, I was repeating the process of simply adding a space anywhere and removing it in order to trigger the modified flag.

How do you turn off the "Update Template Files" dialog when saving a template in Dreamweaver?

As the title states I'd like to not have to see the "Update Template Files" dialog when saving a template. I'm not sure what its purpose is other than to annoy as it does not seem to do anything -- selecting update, don't update, any combination of files and or hitting escape appears not to make any difference wrt wheter it updates the pages or not (it does every time).
Any help will be appreciated.

The "more like this" window gave me the answers. No current ability to turn off. I've submitted a request to add this feature.

My daughter's ipod nano shows up in "devices" when I plug it in...but it disappears. Right away it says it needs to update, but then after extracting the files it comes back and says that it can't be updated because it can't be unmounted. help?!

When in DFU mode and connected to the computer iTunes does not say anything but iTunes will see the iPod and you can restore the iPod via iTunes. When in recovery mode and you connect, iTunes will say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Dreamweaver CS5 update apparently fixes Mac FileVault problem

Adobe has just released Dreamweaver 11.0.2 (build 4916), which is intended to fix the problem with running Dreamweaver CS5 on Mac OS X with FileVault enabled. Adobe Updater should automatically detect the update, and display the Adobe logo in the menu bar at the top right of the screen on a Mac. Click the logo, and select Adobe Updater. Alternatively, select Help > Updates in Dreamweaver.
I don't use FileVault, so can't verify that the update fixes the problem. Hopefully, it does.

I was getting the same error message on both Windows 7 64-bit as well as XP 32-bit. When CS5 Dreamweaver installs (and several other Adobe CS5 products) it includes an older version of the Java 1.6 Runtime Environment which has known serious security flaws. My university's computer security people got a report from Secunia PSI that I was running vulnerable software (an older version of Java) and demanded that I immediately upgrade.
But I do have the latest updates of the JRE installed, so I was puzzled by this. When I looked at the Secunia report, the JRE culprits were installed in the Programs\Adobe folders as part of each application such as Dreamweaver (and several others). So I removed the insecure JRE folders under those program installations and replaced them with the updated JRE folder from the Java installation (JVM for DW). Granted, this was a bit of a gamble since the registry was not modified, but I had not experienced any problems until I kept getting the installation failure reported here for the CS5 DW update failure with no explanation.
Realizing that Dreamweaver is still a 32-bit app even when running on 64-bit Win 7, and I was running the 64-bit version of Java 1.6 v20, I thought I should have used the 32-bit version of Java to replace the insecure version installed under Dreamweaver. I tried that, as above, but the DW CS5 update still failed.
Then I tried to reinstall CS5 Dreamweaver only, which succeeded with the older insecure JRE which then immediately got flagged by Secunia PSI. Furthermore, the Dreamweaver update still failed with no explanation. I noticed that some of the previous Java files (by their dates) were still left in the DW installation JVM folder, after the re-install. So next I removed the entire Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS5 folder, and did a clean reinstall of Dreamweaver CS5 only. It was immediately detected again by Secunia PSI as have an insecure version of JRE. However, this time when I did the Dreamweaver update, it succeeded (v11.0 build 4916) on my 64-bit Win 7 machine.
So the choice currently appears to get Dreamweaver CS5 updates with an older insecure version of the JRE or
not get Dreamweaver updates but be secure with the latest JRE manually installed. My university security people will not tolerate the former
I don't understand why Adobe does not put the latest JRE's as part of their standard updates. Moreover, why put them in the Adobe installations at all--which is causing this security problem of older insecure JRE's--and instead use the main Java installation on the user's machine (and if absent, require users to install Java), if Java is really needed.

Dreamweaver CS6-updating template doesn't update pages, update screen hangs

I'm working with a dwt file provided with shopping cart software which I purchased from a third party developer. I've made changes on the main.dwt provided to personalize it for my business. To begin with, everything seemed to be going smoothly, but then at some point, updating the template stopped updating the pages dependent on it, unless the pages are actually open in Dreamweaver. Even when the pages are open, however, the "Update files dependent on" box seems to hang. If I click "close" it asks if I want to stop updating the site. It's very cumbersome to have to open every page in the site in order to get the changes in the template to propagate to the pages. I'm running CS6 on Windows 7 Home Premium. My site is not yet published, so I can't provide a link to it. It's still on the drawing board.

Is the .dwt template file still within the Dreamweaver generated Templates folder in your site root?
index.html <--your site's home page
Templates <-- the Templates folder on same level as site home page
yourtemplate.dwt <-- your .dwt file
If it's not, that can cause all kinds of problems in DW.

Dreamweaver CS5 - update 11.5.1 does not work

The link to the update for CS5 is no longer available and the 11.5.1 update is for CS5.5 only. I need to access the update for HTML5 for CS5. Please let me know what the key is to accessing. Thank you. Let me know what other info you need in order to give me an answer!

Hi Katharine,
To get the HTML5/CSS3 features you're looking for, install the 11.0.4 update for Dreamweaver CS5.
You can get the update by going to Help > Updates in the program, or from the page Sarthak mentioned above. (This update was temporarily unavailable on the page, so that may explain it if you did not see it before.)

I am getting this response when I am trying to open a file: Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser.” What do I do? I have opened this up in the past without a problem.

Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Most templates that include sample text will have "Lorem ipsum" Latin placeholder text, formatted as such. If you really need to know what it says, translated to English, you can copy it and use a service such as Google Translate.
Don't expect to understand much of it, as it's not meant to be informative.
