Dreamweaver Stopped asking if I want to update Library Items and Templates
Hi All,
Using dreamweaver on a new project. Set up my Templates and library items and everything was fine - when I changed one a saved it a dialogue popped up and asked me if I wanted to update files. Suddenly the dialog box has stopped appearing and now I have to instigate it manually by going to modify->templates->update pages which is annoying and more time consuming.
Why has the automatic dialogue disappeared and how do i get it back?
Thanks
Sorry for the late reply. I'm still having the problem and appreciate the help. Attached is the requested screen shot. Everything is in order I think. Its a big site though and the whole thing won't fit in one screen shot. What are you looking for specifically?

DW removes spaces surrounding updated library items
I've filed a bug with Adobe on this issue, but I'm wondering
if anyone else has received a fix for what I consider a
showstopping bug. In a nutshell, whenever I update a library item,
DW removes all spaces surrounding the updated library item, and
will even remove spaces surrounding unrelated library items during
the same operation.
For example, let's say I have a simple library item that
contains only the character "^". I insert that into a page to
render like this: "| ^ |", using normal spaces in the page code to
separate the three characters. If I then edit the library item to
use the character "-" instead, all updated pages will lose the
surrounding spaces: "|-|".
I've developed hundreds of library items over the years, and
can reproduce this over the last three versions of DW (8, MX 2004,
MX), on multiple computers using new code or existing sites. If I
edit a single library item, it corrupts hundreds of pages in a
large site, and I have to use special searches to find and fix the
error. I can't believe that noone else is affected by this problem,
or isn't using library items to the extent that I do.
I'd really like to see library item functionality repaired,
and this is my last appeal before finding a replacement for DW, Are
any DW developers monitoring this list?> bug is just as capable of affecting SSI
I don't think so. At least, I have never seen it happen. Have

I don't think so here, either. Why would one EVER choose a
Library item
over SSI? On a large site, you would upload hundreds if not
thousands of
files for each change with the former.

Precisely what SSI does, only better.

This is true - since Library items are design-time tools, you
take the
bandwidth hit on the upload side of things rather than on the
fetch side of
things.

They do not. If you need to communicate with them, you must
contact them
directly. But you have been told that Adobe is aware of the
problem at
least twice - is that not enough?

Can't update library item in object library
I used to be able to update library items, and did so often. Now the "Update library item" option is not just grayed out-- it's gone from the panel menu.
In order to update an item, I have to drag it to the page, update, then delete the corresponding library item, then drag the updated item back from the page into the library (and name it again). Do-able, but a lot more time consuming.
I have checked Edit > Menus, Context & Panel Menus and the Update Library Item feature visibility is on.
Is there something I'm overlooking? Thanks for any help!
Mary SargeantMight be time to delete InDesigns prefs.
To delete the preferences, hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt+Cmd just as you launch InDesign.
Doing this will remove any workspaces you have set up along with Print/PDF Presets.
Back these up first. -
Hey Adobe, stop asking whether I want you to install updates automatically. I DON'T. Some programs I run crash if you jump in there and start asking questions.
You can set your preferences to not prompt you for updates, either having them done without asking, or relying on yourself to manage them

Can anyone help me find my old library now that I appear to have deleted it or overwritten it accidentally? I'm always asked if I want to update when I put in my i-pod and have to do that before I can open my library so I think it was this action that caused me to delete previous library. Can anyone help? Apple support have been hopeless as they don't seem to respond to this particular problem but keep giving me answers to finding my purchases which i already know how to do!

I received a 'pop up' asking if I wanted to update the software in my iPhone. As I always accept these messages to keep my phone up-to-date, I accepted.
A long (25minute) process started, but at the end of it, the process "crashed" saying an unknown error had been encountered!.NOTHING has changed with my computer of my iPhone, so I say this is an Apple problem. I cannot start or use my phone now - all that shows on the screen is the iTunes logo and a connectivity graphic - see attached photoHi Kalaivani Krish18,
If you are having issues with your iPhone attempting to update, you may want to try the troubleshooting steps in this article -

My iphone asked if I wanted to update and I hit yes. It said to plug into ITunes so I did. My only option is to "restore". It didn't ask if I want to backup first. I don't have service on phone and I don't want to restore. How can I go back to "not" restoring?
You have to restore it

You don't update itunes on your phone, you update itunes on your computer.

I accidentally clicked dismiss when it asked if I wanted to update it and later when I went to system update it said that iOS 5.11 was up to date what do I do? Can I still update it?
If you were using OSX 10.7 then you could go back to a previous version, but you have overwritten the file.

I used "my documents" for the profile folder, I removed the profile and firefox asked if i want to remove its file, and it took ALL my file except a few, all my photographs etc, are these now unrecoverable? as they are not in the recycle bin
disaster, thanks firefox 1 year of photos lostThanks for the obvious question. I mean it. The very same thought came to me this morning and, sure enough, I had booted into another drive--my old one that, of course, had the old desktop, etc.
It didn't dawn on me that this was the case since I hadn't set it as a boot drive but I guess in the course of all the restarts I did, it got switched.
I'm back to normal again. -
When i want to update my ipad and i want to make backup does backup including apps
when i want to update my ipad and i want to make backup does backup including app
If you backup with iCloud only - yes your apps are included in the backup. If you backup and sync with iTunes - only your app data and documents, device settings and things like that are included in the backup.
So if you use iTunes only, you have to restore from the backup and then sync with iTunes. If you are going to update to iOS 5 now you should backup your iPad ... Or even iOS 6 when available on the 19th - backup your iPad.
