Dreamweaver MX 6.1 Deletes Site Settings etc...

Hey All,
I had a fresh install of XP and Dreamweaver 6.1 recently.
This is the second time Dreamweaver deleted all of my settings for
my sites. Any idea why? I never had this problem before. And no, I
will not upgrade to a higher version.
Thanks,
Jay

It has to do with a Windows Registry bug .. I don't think the
Export feature
on the Site Definitions box was there till DMX 2004, but I
could be mistaken
about that. I haven't used 6.1 in years.
There is a backup utility for site definitions available ..
download from
this page.

Upgrading from DW CS4 to DW CS5 and behaviors, sites, settings etc

Hi,
I am finally going to be upgrading from Web Premium CS4 to Web Premium CS5, and am dreading losing my site settings, configuration, installed extensions, etc. Please Allay my fears and let me know that your upgrades went painlessly.
I will be installing on OS X (10.6.4) on a macbook pro and macpro.
I can live with the other programs, but dread losing DW settings. I do remember that CS3->CS4 was fairly painless, but CS2->CS3 required me to reinstall everything.
Thank God for Keychain!

Hi,
we talked about that here (hope this helps in your configuration too):

Dreamweaver CS3 crashing when importing site settings

Hi,
I've installed a copy of Dreamweaver CS3 on a new Vista 64-bit machine. I've tried to import .ste files pertaining to some sites which I copied over from my old computer (where things were slow but working). When I import the .ste files, it brings in the settings, but as soon as I click on "done", Dreamweaver crashes. I've tried this on a couple of sites now, and still the same crash at the same point.
How do I get this working?
Thanks,
Derek

The contents of the Error Report that it offers to send to
microsoft is...

Dreamweaver will not save site settings local/network

MacBook Pro OS X 10.8.2
CS6 Dreamweaver version 12 build 5808
1st site definition: I want to test files locally, then 'put' them to my test server.
2nd site definition: I want to take the file from my local folder and 'put' it to my production server.
I mounted 2drives on the mac... my test server and my live server. The drives have been mounted on different mount points so they don't overwrite each other.
I go into Dreamweaver and select 'manage sites'. I browse to my local folder for the first screen... the next screen (Server tab) wants the path to the test server. I browse to the correct server (verified!!) and click 'Choose'. The path shown in the box on the active 'Server' tab is correct.... BUT when I click 'save', the path CHANGES to my production server.
It will absolutely NOT save the information that I have specified. I am connecting to my servers via local/network.
I've renamed the dreamweaver prefs folders and deleted the site-cache contents...
Almost an hour on the phone with Adobe, and the tech told me they were not trained to assist with local/network setups. What is interesting is the fact that when I browse out to my test server from 'manage sites', I can see my files, expand my folders, etc. It is not a permissions issue- Dreamweaver just won't save the information I enter.
Would appreciate any help I can get on this....

Nancy, I appreciate your time but looks like we found something that will work for us...
OS X does not seem to know what to do with mounted drives if they have the same name. For example:
ip: 192.xxx.xxx.22\MyServer
and
ip: 192.xxx.xxx.23\MyServer
when these are mounted, even at different mount points and with different IP addys, OS X only "sees" the sharename, and seems to disregard the mapping to the share Awesome!!
Re-naming one of the network shares was NOT an option, and the Alias option on OS X does not help at all..... OS X still only sees the sharename, even when the Alias is well......renamed as an alias.... go figure!
Since we were unable to find any way to resolve this from OS X, we ended up creating a second network share for the target folder, using a different name. Issue resolved.

Dreamweaver CS 5.5 crashes when saving Site settings.

Hey,
I'm working on a PHP website. I had it set up to test on a server. When I went to change the Site settings (I wanted to make a new version), Dreamweaver crashed when I saved the new settings. After that, Dreamweaver does not open unless I delete the Configuration file (a solution I found online). Also, any time I restart my computer Dreamweaver does the same thing – crashes on opening. The only thing that was saved that first time it seems is that Dreamweaver removed my server username and password, so I can no longer test the site that was working. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks,
-Taylor

Dreamweaver 5.5 site settings

Hi, Till some time ago I've used fire ftp for managing files online. They are nicely opening in DW with a number in front of the files name. Then I decided to configure "site's" in DW built in manager. I've configured a remote server it's not working like I hoped.
1.When I open a file form remote server, it's not editable "on line". To do it I have to save that file and then PUT it on the server which is not very productive. Any way to overcome this?
2.How to switch of the prompt "do you want to override local files" and make "yes to all" permanent.
3.Do files edited on-line have any sort of indication that they are "on-line" and not local?
4.Is there any way to export Dreamweaver settings, mostly "sites" settings?

I don't know if it help's but I am using win7 64bit, DW 5.5 newest FF (but it worked also with older versions).
You could try "open with" (from the context menu)-> add program ->insert DW path -> connect to your server -> open with ->select dreamweaver ->edit.
I don't think it has something to do with the server (I am using linux, by the way).
I found this on FireFtp site, hope it helps:
For your local files, sometimes you want to be able to open a file with a different program than the default one. Let's say I have an image file - sometimes I just want to look at it and that defaults to Firefox (what else?!) but sometimes I want to edit it and for that I need Photoshop.
So, I right click on my image file, go to Open With->Add Programs... The associated extension with the file (in this example, ".jpg") will already by listed on the top-left pane. I give my program a name in the Name textbox, in this case, Photoshop. I click "Browse" and find the Photoshop executable file (on Windows, this is usually under the "Program Files" folder somewhere). And optionally I can add Arguments, but for most users and most cases it's enough to leave that box alone. Then I hit "Apply". I'll then see in the top-right pane that my program is now associated with that extension. In a similar manner, if I want a program to be associated with all extensions and all files I can select "*.*" (which will always be there) and add programs to its list.
Now, when I right click the file again and look under "Open With", I will have Photoshop as one of the options - I can select that and the file will open up with Photoshop.
For remote files, selecting Open With will download the file and put you into Remote Edit mode. From here you can work on your file, save it, and FireFTP will automatically upload your file when it detects you've modified the file.
For Mac users: When you create a program entry for Safari, for example, you would think the path to the Application is probably: /Applications/Safari.app
and logically so, because when you browse the directory you aren't allowed to go into the Application's hidden contents. However, this is not the correct path. Right-click on an Application and do "Show Package Contents". The correct path to the Safari application is actually: /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari
Not very intuitive, I realize, for you Mac users out there. Maybe in a future version there will be an easier way to access these hidden Application contents.

Backing-up Dreamweaver's control of a site.

Hi Folks
I learned early on how to backup site definitions, but is there anything else I have to manually backup to ensure that Dreamweaver CS4 will always retain its awareness of all the linked templates and library items etc. that it controls.
If I had to reinstall Dreamweaver, or restore my operating system from an image that was made weeks or months ago, would Dreamweaver still be able to work its magic and correctly populate updates to all the connected pages? Where does it keep this information? Is it all just in the webpage itself or is there a file somewhere. A file that could be recovered from a wrecked and unbootable OS?
Cheers.
Brian

Back again
I want to restart this thread because after restoring my system to an earlier time I have found not everything survives. It’s mainly personal configuration settings of Dreamweaver that don’t carry over so I figure there must be a setting somewhere to save and transfer such stuff.
The main thing is that the status of cloaked items are not there, which is not good, but I have discovered that they are saved in the Site Definitions backup, so as long as I do a definitions backup just before restoring my system I can re-apply that to the older Dreamweaver, however it requires deleting the current definitions for the site or the new import is seen as a new site and renamed.
Personally saved code snippets are also not there, but I’ve found they are saved in an Adobe folder in the user document folders and copying over this entire folder does the trick for snippets and a few other things like workspaces and personal dictionary. I’ve yet to really use my restored system so no doubt there’s much more to be discovered.
For WinXP that folder path is - C:\Documents and Settings\MyUserName\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4
So before I spend more time on this does anyone know the recommended way or built-in backup setting to transfer all data to a restored system? It’s such an obvious required function that it’s probably staring me right in the face, but damned if I can see it. If almost everything personal is in that Adobe folder with no other connections to the registry or the like, then that will do nicely for most things as it could even be recovered from an unbootable operating system. The cloaked items saved in site definitions requires a bootable system to make the backup, so it would be good to know where they are saved. I even tried swapping over the entire Dreamweaver Program Files Folder but this did not do it.
Regards
Brian

I am getting a "not delivered" when I try to send a photo from my Ipad or iPhone via iMessage. I can receive photos in iMessage and I can send and receive photos other than with iMessage. I have tried restoring factory settings etc but no luck.

I am getting a "not delivered" when I try to send a photo from my Ipad or iPhone via iMessage. I can receive photos in iMessage and I can send and receive photos other than with iMessage. I have tried restoring factory settings etc but no luck. Is anyone else having this problem please?

I've been having this problem too, but here's the catch: originally it was only with my dad, and only sometimes. Now it's dad and husband, every time! Pix go through, via imessage, to everyone else, and they go through to dad/husband if I "send as text" after it fails.
And the other annoying thing- the blue bar will run all the way, and it will say "delivered". So I close out of imessage. When I reopen it again, the "delivered" has changed to "not delivered" with the red exclamation point. I just googled "imessage not sending photos" and founds TONS of people with the same problem, but no solutions. (I have rebooted phone, reset network settings, with no luck. I even had to backup/delete/restore my whole phone the other day for a different reason, and hoped that would fix it, but now it won't send to my dad OR my husband (who is on not just the same carrier, but the same family plan as me)

Yahoo mail tool bar (delete,more,spam,etc) not working in firefox.Works in Explorer.Web points to Mozilla update."Plug-ins" up to date. Solutions?

Yahoo mail tool bar (delete,more,spam,etc) not working in firefox.Works in Explorer.Web search points to Mozilla update problem."Plug-ins" up to date. Solutions?
I've used firefox for years now with out problems. Now that help is needed, Could you make this any more frustrating? I thought I was asking Mozilla help and I'm sent to "users". I went there 1st! there are similar questions but no answers. I've lost time and data. Is there any REAL PEOPLE to help with firefox problems?

I'm a real person, thanks.
If you mean, does Mozilla have paid staff you could phone or email, the answer is "No."
Is the problem with a feature of the Yahoo! mail web page itself, or the Yahoo! toolbar?
General advice:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* click the padlock or globe icon in the address bar > More Information > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
Could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
''If Firefox is not running:'' Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.
''If Firefox is running:'' You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
and OK the restart.
''Both scenarios:'' A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Refresh).
Any difference in how Yahoo! works?

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Where does a sharepoint admin find the site settings for a mysite site collection?

We are using sp 2010 service pack 2.
When I look at another user's mysite, logged in as an admin (spsadmin2 is my daily admin type account), I don't seem to have access to the site settings.
However, if I log in as the fundamental farm admin account (spfarm), I do see the site settings drop down.
The site settings I see are not the site settings for a specific user's site collection. It is, instead, the settings for "mysites" in general.
So, how can I look at the site settings for a specific user's site collection?
I wanted to be able to look at their site collection recycle bin to see if something deleted was still there.
Thank you!

So, our mysites are associated with a web application separate from our other sharepoint sites.
The mysites root site collection has our SharePoint admins listed as full control owners.
The SharePoint admins also are listed as Farm admins.
Because there is only 1 secondary site collection owner permitted, if that is the means by which someone gets access to the site collection settings and permissions, then it seems like we would have to keep changing the secondary owner quite frequently.
You mentioned being able to set permissions on "the group" to have rights.
Which group? The Personal Sites Owners group of our mysites web app? Or another group?
Thank you for your help!

I just upgraded to CS5 from Dreamweaver 8 - where are my sites?

I just upgraded to CS5 from Dreamweaver 8. I am running Mac OS 10.5.8. I was expecting that when I launched CS5 for the first time it would find whatever files it need from my Dreamweaver 8 and my sites would be available in CS5. However, I don't see any of my sites that I manage regularly in Dreamweaver 8. How do I import them in?
Thanks.

Beacuse of the upgrade to Mac OS X 10.7.3 my Dreamweaver 8 (unexpectedly) stopped working altogether so I had to upgrade to CS5.5
(which, functionally, I didn't even want to do (yet)).
Although it was an upgrade, it didn't take my site settings from v8.
How can I get them now, as Dreamweaver 8 stopped working!?
Please advice as there are settings in there that clients have entered themselves and are not tracked anywhere else.
Ansd is there a way to get CS5.5 to actually work with our html5 / css3 sites as it shows them all garbled?
I hoped this would at least solve this issue, but it sure hasn't :-(
Kind regards
Hein

Where are "Site settings"?

I've finally upgraded from a very old version of Dreamweaver to CS6. Trying to connect, I'm told that the server certificate is unsigned or not issued by a trusted certificate authority. I am then told to go to "Site settings" - but where are they? Not under "Site"!

That is taken care of by your hosting company on the server. DW is just warning you that your site is apparently not secure, owned by Scammy McScammerson, or the administrator oopsied and let their security certificate expire.

System Error message when deleting site

Hi
Not sure if anyone else is having issues with Business Catalyst, but I am trying to delete one of my sites but keep getting the following message:
An Error Occurred
An error occurred processing your last request.
Please go back and try again.
It has been the same for the last 2 days. I am a Creative Cloud member and currently have 3 sites on BC. One of them is no longer required.
Logging in to my account and deleting through the normal procedure: Site Settings - Site Management - Delete Site. I get to the point where I put in my password but that's as far as I get before I get the error message.
Anyone else experiencing issues? As I'm still waiting for an answer from Adobe I thought I might throw the question out to others who may have some insight.

Unfortunately there is no "delete" option on the BC portal for me. Not sure if it is because I am a CC user. I did read in an earlier message in one of the forums here that the delete option on the Partner Portal was removed for CC users so that they could easily access the delete option through BC instead. Not sure if that is still correct.
To be quite honest - it seems like every time I try to delete this particular site through BC, it actually takes my other sites offline. Really strange.
Hoping that the solution is an easy one. Adobe have replied which is good but their suggestions have not worked as yet. Still waiting for more assistance.
Varun - I thank you for your prompt reply - I really appreciate it.

Recover Site Settings

Is there any way to recover site settings from another user
profile on my PC? This past weekend, our support deparment switched
domain names on us. Now I have a new user profile - support dept.
was unable to import previous user settings. I can see .DWS files
in the SiteCache folder (under previous user\Application
Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX 2004\Configuration). Are those
helpful? Running Windows XP Pro.
Thanks in advance...

The site definitions are stored in the Windows Registry. Tell
IT to roll
your profile back so you can at least EXPORT those
definitions, or bill them
for your time to recreate them....
