Dreamweaver CS5 won't let me edit previous CS4 templated pages

I am trying to update templated pages from a website built in dreamweaver CS4.  When I try to edit
them I am not able to select any of the text or images within the editable regions.  If I switch back
to CS3 or CS4 they are editable again.  Any help would be much appreciated!!

Well first thing - you do realize that you shouldn't rely on design view as a method for editing pages in Dreamweaver? Unfortunately Design View has never been 100% accurate or reliable. It's best to work in split view or directly in code view and test things within a browser or Live View.
So what I'm saying is don't believe what Dreamweaver "shows" you in design view - it's only a gross approximation and you should only treat it as such. Switch to split view and add your content within the code view pane and then test it in a browser (or Live View) to see how it really renders.

    Remove preferences on Mac OS
    Quit Dreamweaver.
    In the Finder, navigate to /Users/Your User Name/Library/Application Support/Adobe.
    Rename the Dreamweaver preferences folder:
    Dreamweaver CS5: Rename the Dreamweaver CS5 folder to, for example, Old Dreamweaver CS5.
    Navigate to /Users/Your User Name/Library/Preferences.
    Rename the Dreamweaver preferences file:
    Dreamweaver CS5: Rename the Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Prefs file to, for example, Old Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Prefs.
    Try to re-create problem
    After you have removed your existing preferences, restart Dreamweaver. The application creates new preferences files, folders, and registry entries, as applicable, using the default settings.
    Then try to re-create the problem that you had before.
    If the problem was resolved, then damaged preferences was the cause.
    If the problem persists, then the preferences are not the cause and you can replace the original preferences.
    To replace the original preferences:
    Quit dreamweaver.
    Delete the new preferences folder and restore the original name of the previous folder.

  • Having a problem moving a text document from Photoshop to Illustrator.. Won't let me edit the text

    Hi there,
    I'm a complete technophobe so the answer to this could be quite obvious. I had to create a text using photoshop because of the inside of the text... i.e using a lobster font and it was pink glitter inside it so to give a girly effect.. It's for a college asignment.
    I have to use illustrator CS6 to put that text on a b/ground I already made in Illustrator but the .psd doc won't let me edit it in illustrator, it's almost like a PDF. Help!
    I hope it's not too confusing to understand, thanks in advance.

    Erica,
    is there a simpler way of explaining that?
    And I feared it was too easy to understand.
    You may, in front of the overall background (which you may lock or hide):
    1) Create a background with the appearance you wish to apply to the letters, such as a solid cpolour, a gradient or other clolour transition, and some pink glitter in front of it, you may Group all this for convenience; and you may use raster artwork (maybe from Photoshop) if you like;
    2) With the Type Tool create the live Type on top of 1), you may move and size it to fit (roughly);
    3) Select 1) and 2) and Object>Clipping Mask>Make; 2) will become the (invisible) Clipping Path showing the parts of 1) that are behind it and hide the rest.
    As mentioned, you may Direct Select 1) or 2) and edit or move them about relative to the background and each other.

  • I recently moved my itunes library. Itunes deleted a lot of artist and album info and album art. Now it won't let me edit the info to correct it. Any advice on to correct this?

    I recently bought a new Asus laptop and moved my itunes to it. All of my files are stored on an external hard drive. In the process of importing my files into itunes on the new laptop, some artist and album info has been deleted. A lot of album art is missing as well. I attempted to correct the missing info, but now itunes won't let me edit any track, artist or album info. Any idea what the problem is and how I can fix it? Thanks.

  • CC has Java Script Plug in issues... CS5 won't let me see all my NEF files... help.

    In CC I am trying Photoshop (I currently use CS5), and it says it doesn't have the java script plug in... am I supposed to magically pluck it out of thin air to get it? I'm not a computer programmer and I am finding CC to be a maddening experience. CS5 won't let me see all the NEF files I have, and I have a client waiting on the images... RAWRRRR... How can I see this images if CS5 only shows me half of my images, and CC won't even let me open anything, not bridge, not files, nothing... help!

  • InDesign won't let me edit my document every time I save

    For about a month now, every time I press ctrl + s to save my documents in InDesign it seems to lock all components of my document and won't let me edit it unless I close and open it again multiple times.
    I'm running InDesign on Windows 8 and I know it's been known to be more glitchy on PCs than Macs, but is anyone else having this problem/know how to fix it?

    My gut instinct is that ID actually is a lot more trouble-free on Windows 8 than it is on Yosemite, based on what we see here, but that's got nothing to do with your problem.

  • All pics loaded onto iphoto or preview show up but won't let me edit. Thanks, Woody

    Hey everyone,
    Pics loaded into iphoto or preview show up in the programs and my desktp, but won't let me edit.
    Thanks, Woody

    How are you trying to edit?
    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • After December 2014 security updates, Word 2010 won't let me edit forms any longer

    I just installed the December 2014 security udpates. Today, when I open the timesheet form I use every week to record time, Word won't let me edit the form fields in the document. I can select them (sometimes) and it even occasionally lets me resize them,
    but I can't type into the free form text fields any longer. I even tried unprotecting the document, but Word won't let me do that either, although I suppose it is possible I forgot the password. But none of the standard ones I use will unlock the form I created.
    I'm not using XML form fields; I'm using the legacy text form field. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
    Thanks,

  • For some unknown reason, Itunes won't let me edit Audio info

    So I recently synced 1891 songs to my iPhone 5. Whilst the process was completed successfully I noticed where in my itunes library all of the artists were organised accordingly. But suddenly, due to some kind of idiotic magic a lot of my music had missing information/wrong information. Oh well, this happens I thought placidly believing that all I had to do was fix the info myself. But lo and behold for some unknown reason Itunes won't let me edit any of the info of the music on my Iphone 5. Why? I don't know. But I know for a fact that none of the music is "Read-Only" because I check and I did the same process with the same files on a different computer. My new computer (currently using) is authorized and everything seems to be in order, I have no idea why this isn't working but some help would be appreciated. Please. I'm sick of having to read forum after forum after doing the simplest things on Itunes, please someone from Apple answer my question with efficiency, or create a less convulted program

    Sounds like the ID3 tags are messed up on those songs.
    iTunes imports using v2.2 tags. Convert the tags to v2.3 and try adding the artwork.
    Right-click > convert ID3 tags
    Also, make sure they are not read-only files.

  • I movie won't let me edit any of my projects.

    I was working on several projects in iMovie and they were working fine but now iMovie won't let me edit any of my projects and i'm not sure how to fix it. I even started a new project and once i exited out of iMovie and opened it again it wouldn't let me edit the new project i started.

    Try deleting iMovie's preference file. For the detailed steps, see my post in this recent thread:

  • IPhoto won't let me edit subtitles in slideshows

    I have the latest version of iPhoto, I'm using Lion and everything is updated.
    This happens often, not everytime, but iPhoto won't let me edit subtitles in slideshows. When I select the text and begin to type it just gives that annoying "you can't do that but I won't tell you why BEEP" that Apple have devised to irritate the **** out of people.
    On this occasion I was using the Sliding Panels theme.
    I have closed down iPhoto and restarted several times, but whatever I try it won't let me edit the text. I have read on other forums that this is not an uncommon bug, but not found a solution yet.
    Anybody any idea how to fix this, please?
    Thanks!
    Bruce

    As nobody has replied to my post yet I thought I would try something myself, and I seem to have found a work-around.
    As I said, I only get this problem now and again - about one slideshow in six - so I changed the theme to one I know works, edited the subtitles as I want them to be, then changed back to the theme I had originally, and everything works perfectly!
    You still can't re-edit these subtitles in this theme. You still get the annoying beep if you try.
    Incidentaly Apple rather churlishly censored my comment, and replaced it with four asterisks, making it look as if I was using some dreadful expletive. I merely used the commonly used word for The Price of Darkness' home that starts with a letter "h".  
    Hope this post helps someone with the same problem.

  • ITunes won't let me edit songs on my iPhone

  • ITunes won't let me edit the song titles

    I click on a song title, and click the Get Info and it won't let me edit the song.
    The text is light gray instead of being black. When it's black I know I can edit it.
    I don't know how this happened... can someone please help me??

    Its one of two things,
    1) You don't have the rights to those files/location
    or
    2) The file is read only. Don't change just change the folder rights, go right to the files and uncheck readonly.
    Of course it could be something else I'm not aware of.

  • ITunes won't let me edit CD and song information?

    I've added some cd's to my library and iTunes won't let me edit song information or add artwork.

    There is a much easier way of solving this rather than converting all of the tracks to AAC..
    1) Go to where the album folder is stored on your PC and right click on the folder.
    2) Click on properties and unselect the box that says 'read only'.  After clicking apply, click OK to confirm changes.
    3) Now iTunes should let you edit the song info and add artwork
