Dreamweaver Mac Site Backup

Hi,
Basically, I need to completely manually reinstall my Intel
MacBook Pro from scratch. My problem is this: I NEED to find the
Dreamweaver MX 2004 file(s) that store info. about defined sites
(FTP usernames and passwords). I have several sites that I
maintain. I have also stupidly misplaced documentation that has the
passwords for a couple of the servers. Migration Assistant copied
over the info. successfully from my old mac. and I've tried copying
over some files I thought it could be (and testing it on a desktop
mac) but no avail.
So basically I'm asking this:
Does anyone know where the third party file(s) could be
hidden? I'm guessing it's in the User folder somewhere, because
even logged in on a different user (but on the same machine) and
the defined sites aren't there...
Many thanks,
Jay Ashton

Jay,
DW Sites Preferences:
/Users/[username]/Library/Application
Support/Macromedia/Common/7/Sites/Site Prefs
DW General Preferences
/Users/[username]/Library/Preferences/Dreamweaver 7 Prefs
I no longer have that version installed, but you may need to
replace "7"
with "MX 2004".
HTH,
Randy

  • Posting Webpage created in iPhoto to .mac site

    I have "exported" an album using the file/export/webpage commands. In the new folder I created on the desktop, It created folders with all the images, thumbnails and pages in them, along with "Pages.html" documents for the main page, and the thirteen sub-pages.
    This one works OK and properly, if I click on the main page html icon, although I would like it to look better. However, when I have tried all of the other options for exporting and sharing documents, including thru iWeb, either the order of the pictures is altered or the comments are lost, or both. (I have spent a lot of time organizing and adding comments to the individual (420) pictures. I don't want to redo it all.)
    How do I get this folder onto my .Mac site? So it can be viewed by others?

    SJB:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Copy the folder to the Sites folder on your iDisk. You can do that by mounting your iDisk and doing it thru the finder. I use Transmit as it is about 2 to 3 times as fast in uploading and navigating around the iDisk.
    Once in the Sites folder the URL for that gallery would be:
    http://homepage.mac.com/your .Mac account/gallery folder name/galllery folder name.html

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application, iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Using iWeb for non dot-mac sites

    Hi all,
    I own a number of domains that I'd like to use iWeb on. Am I able to utilize iWeb for a non .mac domain, or do I need to use something like Dreamweaver?
    Many thanks.
    -Hugh

    No, in fact I have a sneaky suspicion that not using dot-mac sites will eliminate a lot of problems other people have. You will also lose some of the effects like the nicer slideshow etc.
    I have never used dot-mac and never encountered any of the uploading/publishing problems that are so often mentioned on this forum.
    Here is what you do:
    After editing your website you choose :Publish to a folder.
    This lets you choose a location on your hardrive into which all the necessary files will be compiled/rendered. In this folder you will find an htlm file plus a folder with the necessary files for easch of your pages.. This publishing is done lightning fasy pecause it is done locallly and not trhough your internetconnection like when you published to dot-mac. Also post-editing is easy and hassle free.
    For editing and uploading my website I use "Transmit" but there are lots of other applications like "Fetch"
    What to upload?
    Well I believe the jury is still out on this.
    I just upload the contents of the published folder and that works for me. Other publish the whole folder plus the dummy "Index file" that is generated outside that folder. You will heve to find out for your self.
    If any changes or editing has to be done afterwards, I republish and then just upload the altered files.
    There is one more thing I do, and I believe others don't. I keep my domain file in the same folder where I keep the Published folder.
    E.g. there is a festival website, so I have a folder "Festival" in which I keep the domains file, and the published "Festival website" folder.
    This way it is easy to keep various different websites.
    When you want to edit one of them, go to that folder and double click the domains file, this will start iWeb with the right website for you to edit.
    Really very easy.

  • I am trying to decide on a HDD for off site backup

    I am trying to decide on a HDD for off site backup, should I use a bus powered drive or  brick powered?  Should I go cheaper with a powered unit or convenience of a bus powered drive.  I would clone my computer and bring it to a friends house. I would do this 2 or 3 times a year just to have an off-site backup of my personal stuff.

    How you connect the drive is really what will determine what in my opinion is best. If you connect directly to the iMac then get a brick powered drive. The reason being is iMac's are not known for supplying a lot of power from their USB ports and if you want your backup to be reliable it has to get good power. However if you are using a powered USB hub hanging a bus powered drive should be fine. I also think that if you are going to use the backup as a clone  don't get a USB drive, that's just plain not too smart. Yes it would work however the performance would be awful, if you run into a situation where you rely on that drive for a time to run your Mac you'll hate the experience. In that case get a good Firewire 800 drive which will provide acceptable performance, never as good as a SATA drive but decent performance none the less. That being said if you do decide to get a FW800 drive it will be powered by a brick as I don't thing there is such a thing as a bus powered FW800 port.

  • FTP Error in Dreamweaver (mac)

    I have a site that I can connect to on my Dreamweaver/Windows, but not on Dreamweaver/Mac.
    I have the settings identical as far as I can tell and it immediately gives me an error that says:
    An FTP error occured - cannot make conection to host.
    No response from server. This may be due to one or more of the following reasons:
    -Proxy... etc...
    -Use Passive... etc...
    -IPV6.... etc...
    -Firewall etc...
    -Port 21 etc...
    None of these apply except for Passive and I have set it both ways with no joy.
    I can use FTP from Firefox on my Mac with the same settings and it works fine.
    Kirk

    Fixed.
    I am using Dreamweaver CS5.5 on Snow Leopard and am having the same FTP problems.
    After  trying to uninstall and reintall Dreamweaver CS5.5 with no luck I was  able to solve my issue by leaving the "Root Directory" field of the FTP  server configuration BLANK.
    My hosting provider (justhost)  allows you to specify the FTP path when you create a FTP accounts. That  is where I specify the "root dir" path and not in DW ftp server config.

  • Publishing to a non dot Mac site

    I'm trying to make a slideshow in iWeb and upload it to my usual web pages which are not dot mac sites. Nothing is working, so I wonder if maybe that's not an option and iWeb can only be used to publish on Mac.com pages.
    rtk

    Big sloppy gooey mess. I published it all to Dreamweaver and then I got into the icky sticky html and managed to make the slide show on a black background, but the timing didn't exist and I couldn't reduce the screen size to allow for any text or hyperlinks. So, I thought I'll just do it the old way in Dreamweaver, but I have the 30 day trial which doesn't seem to permit me to use my older DW. Now, the shockwave and flash don't work any more. I suppose that's so I'll buy more stuff. Discouraged? I sure am. It seems all this software has little things planted in them that scream Buy More! Now I'll see if there's a free trial on Flash, but it's getting more confusing. I like the simplicity of iWeb, but I need more control. I like the control of Dreamweaver, but it's sloppy.

  • Dreamweaver & mac 10.7.3

    I have just upgraded to a new macbookpro with 10.7.3 and used the migration assistant to move my files to the new mac. Now i cannot connect to the remote server using dreamweaver cs5.5. the ftp 'test' conection says its ok but when i try & select a page it gives error message - an ftp error occured - cannot get file. access denied. the file may not exist or there could be a permission problem'. i have tried changing the connection options, still no joy. any advice most appreciated.

    Hi team
    I finally managed to sort the problem and now have access back to my sites. It seems a adobe permission issue that I couldnt get sorted. I will try & explain the solution as best I can. Basically I had to dump the old sites & download a new copy to my computer. Before I did that I made a copy of my local folders in case of emergency
    1. In dreamweaver - manage sites - click on your site - duplicate - edit - advanced settings - local info.
    2. In 'Local Info' change the 'Local root folder' and 'Default images folder' to your new folder name
    3. Click 'ok'. You may get a warning message about the images folder not being inside the site, but ignore that.
    4. Click 'Done'.
    5. Then you will see the lcoal site with no folders. Expand the view to see both the local & remote files, or change the drop down to see only the remote filles.
    6. Then pick a file to bring down from the remote folder, check it out, amend - save - check back in.
    7. If that works then select the root folder ie. Remote Site '/' and download all the files.
    8. Do a restart and check access using your new copy of the files & images. 
    9. You may or may not want to rename your new local site folder. If you do rename it make sure you go back to '2' above & change the local root & default images' folders.
    10. You will likely have to do this process for each site you want to access. I did it for both mine and since then have had no access issues. The only catch is you cannot use the 'recent history' list to access a file as it will automatically choose the file from the old site. You need to select the file you want directly from the local site folder.
    Hope this helps. If anything isn't clear please reply.

  • How can I get the iBook app on my Mac to backup ePubs I created with Pages on my iPad? Only seems to want to work with purchased from the ibook store.

    How can I get the iBook app on my Mac to backup ePubs I created with Pages on my iPad? Only seems to want to work with purchased books from the ibook store. The problem is, once I create a document in Pages and turn it into an ePub to be opened in iBooks, I delete the document in Pages, because I don't need two copies taking up space on my iPad. Before Maverick, iTunes would backup everything in my iBook app on my iPad. If something ever happened to my iPad, all of my created ePubs would be lost and I would be screwed. I suppose I could keep everything on Pages and go to iCloud and download my documents to my Mac, but that is a lot of steps. I may have to do that if there is no other way, but I am hoping someone will have the answer for me. Pretty disappointed in iBooks app for Mac at this point.

    iBooks only syncs purchased books. Others must be synced in iTunes.

  • Is it possible to publish one site to mac site and another site to a school

    I have an "About me" page which I wish students to have access to - but I don't want them to have access to the rest of my site - can I publish either just the "about me" page to a different school server or can I create a new site with just an about me page and publish that site to my school server and my personal site to mac site?

    Yes.
    The easiest way is to use separate domain.sites2 files. There are several sites that offer instructions for doing this. One is Apnewbie's Site Separation help page.

  • How to properly get folders, files into Dreamweaver Defined Site Folder from desktop

    I, obviously am a new Dreamweaver user, and I need to know
    the proper way of going about getting a folder, files, ect. from my
    hard drive into my Dreamweaver defined site folder. I understand
    how to insert an image from my hard drive into DW and it shows up
    in my site folder in the Files Panel. More specifically, using
    Lightbox2, after downloading Lightbox and placing those elements in
    a new folder on my hard drive, what is the proper way to get that
    folder into my site folder?
    Also, how can I properly add images to an images folder in my
    site folder in DW for possible later use, without inserting them on
    the page. I know by inserting them on the page from a folder on my
    hard drive, Dreamweaver prompts me for DW to recognize them. I
    would like to know how I can get them in there and DW to recognize
    them without actually inserting them on my page.
    And can and how can I move files, images, pages from one site
    to another? or should I? Thanks, if anyone can help me with these
    file moving questions.

    To restate courtney's explanation, *anything* that you paste
    into the site's
    local root folder will appear in DW's File panel, and will be
    considered by
    DW to be a part of the site.

  • Can't log in to Mac site and store

    I am so frustrated and also angry. Every time I go to the Mac or Apple website it says my password is wrong. So -- every single time -- I have to hit 'forgot password' and then get email and then make up password and then get on the site. Then, if I try to go back to Mac site the next time, the password does not work.... even if I go back 5 minutes later.... or next day. So I always have to make up new password and I get to visit the site -- once. And here I am trying to buy something and spend lots of money and Mac makes it nearly impossible to access its site... or Mac Store. So, after I post this message and log out I will not be able to access the site again unless and until I go thru those pain-in-the-butt steps.

    I don't know honestly if I have cookies on. But I can say that I go to lots of sites -- daily -- where I need a password and it's never an issue. This includes online stores, forums, my bank, etc.... I just type in password and I'm there. But with Mac, no-go. I have to start anew and make up new password every single time.

    I'm not sure where to go on this.  I've tried a bunch of things like permissions, local vs., remote backup target.

  • Off Site Backups?

    I have a great deal of sensitive information on my MacBook. Prior to Leopard & Time Machine, I kept regular back ups at work, and weekly backups over the weekend at home.
    Does anyone know if Time Machine has the capability of maintaining two separate backups on two separate drives? I created both initial backups already, and I know that I can figure this one out on my own through trial and error, but it takes so long for my initial backup to complete that I would like to know for sure so that I don't have to go through the process all over again.
    If it doesn't work, I will probably use Time Machine at work and do a more conventional back up over the weekend at home. I guess I'm just trying to save myself a lot of time and trouble and I certainly appreciate any wisdom that anyone out there can share with me before I try pushing the button myself!
    Best Regards to All!

    I am sorry that it has taken me this long to add this post as an answer to my own question. After quite a bit of reading and a little bit of experimentation, it is now much clearer to me how Time Machine works, and it is also clear that it can only manage one back up drive at a time, even though that single back up drive can host many different computers running Time Machine. So, if you change your back up drive, it will become an archive with all of your back up data intact, but Time Machine will start over from scratch with the new back up drive, creating its complete back up all over again. This is great in one sense, that being if you want to have archival hard drives and don't mind tying up your computer for the initial back up process to run all over again. But for my purposes, I really want Time Machine to be able to go back as far into time as possible so that I can recover and/or review documents as they were in the past. Therefore switching drives, even from time to time, would not work as a solution for me.
    So here's my plan:
    • My Time Machine drive (which, by the way, is a big honker and will hold a lot of back ups, especially considering how Time Machine does backups), will remain at the office where I do the most work on my laptop and where files are changed throughout the day, every day.
    • I will use DejaVu when I bring the laptop home at night and over the weekend in order to create an off site back up of my data. (I had been using DejaVu previous to my upgrade to Leopard and the advent of Time Machine, so it is a simple matter of continuing to use this particular program for me, but there are many other possibilities out there that will create a "mirror" of your data for off site purposes).
    By trial and error I have found that the two programs in no way interfere with each other. When I go home on the weekend, DejaVu knows what files have changed and makes the appropriate back ups. When I plug my Time Machine drive back in at the office, it knows what has changed since the last time it was connected and it picks up right where it left off.
    As I said, I did test this out myself, and it does work for me. As I also said, I did a good bit of reading as well. One of the best written, most thorough, and easiest to understand articles, (complete with pictures, I just love pictures!), can be found at Apple Insider:
    http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/07/10/12/roadto_mac_os_x_leopard_timemachine.html&page=1
    (Please note that this is the link to page one. The article goes on for several pages and is really a great read!)
    Thanks to taalinukko and to Vince DiStefano for their replies and their input. I will continue to monitor this post just in case anyone out there might have any questions for me and my particular application of Time Machine and DejaVu to do regular and off site backups.
    Best Regards to All!
