DW CS3 Mac erase code

I'm using DW CS3 on a MAC power PC and for some reason
Dreamweaver erase some full lines of code when I save or upload
files. THis tends to happen especially when I'm using special tags.
I disabled all completion and formating preferences but it still
happens. It's weird and cost me a lot of time each time it happens.
Does someone have an idea about this trouble? Right know I went
back on my 2004 version to keep my work flow efficient.

checked and is
cf in the extensions box?

  • DW CS3 Mac mangling code

    Hi folks -
    Not long ago I bought my first Mac in a good long time (Mac
    Pro desktop, two quad-core Xeon CPUs). I picked up Creative Suite
    CS3 for it, as I've been a DW user for some years.
    Thing is, with this setup, DW tends to mangle my ColdFusion
    code at times. It will take small chunks and basically reverse the
    order of the tags. This tends to happen with tags that are related
    - i.e. if I have <cftry><cfcatch> and then
    </cfcatch></cftry>, the last two bits get reversed.
    This behavior occurs when the script file is opened. So if I
    open a script and DW mangles some small bit of the code - and I
    make my intended change, save it and upload it - boom, the script
    breaks, and I have to go do some detective work to figure out what
    got garbled and fix it.
    This is truely unacceptable in a product of Dreamweaver's age
    - this sort of thing should not be happening in a product that has
    been through as many versions as this one has.
    Has anyone else run across this issue? And if so, what have
    you done to resolve it?

  • Show file path in title bar CS3 Mac

    Hi All, Is there a setting to make Dreamweaver CS3 Mac to
    show the full path to the file in the title bar within Dreamweaver
    Code View? Right now it only shows the name of the file. I work on
    very complex web applications, and not having quick access to where
    the file can be found is extremely frustrating, and may cause me to
    use a different editor. Please someone tell me there is a fix for
    this? My web searches turned up nothing.

    There is a widget in the code view toolbar that shows you
    this information
    for all open files.

  • TaskProgress bar and CS3 Mac

    All:
    The behaviour between the PC and Mac versions of CS3 TaskProgressBar appear to be different.
    On the PC, as in previous SDK's, when a user cancels, all work preformed before the cancel is still in the document. With the CS3 Mac version, all work is removed on the cancel.
    Is there a flag or way to leave the partially completed work? I have checked to see if I am calling any AbortCmdSequances and this is not the case. If I put code in to periodically save before the cancel, I can revert the file and see the unfinished work up to the point of the last save, so I know the functions themselves are executing.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Liz

    Ok,
    The problem is not the TaskProgressBar, it is the Preview mode.

  • Observing all the undoable items.CS3 Mac

    How can I observe all the undoable actions in InDesign CS3 Mac ? Is there any simple way of achieving this. I looked at the sample code for gotolasttextedit but that has text and story tracking capabilities, how can I hook into all the commands that happening and and are undoable ?
    Any ideas how to proceed. What else can be helpful ?
    thanks

    tell application "System Events"
              set appList to every process whose visible is true
    end tell
    the 'visible is true' part is necessary, otherwise it will report system and background apps that you probably don't want to quit.  If you want to quit the apps as well, the following will get the job done most of the time:
    tell application "System Events"
              set appList to every process whose visible is true
              repeat with thisApp in appList
                        try
      -- attempt to quit saving open files
                                  tell thisApp to quit saving yes
                        on error
                                  try
      -- app may not be document based, so attempt a simple quit
                                            tell thisApp to quit
                                  on error
      -- weird app that doesn't seem to respond properly to apple events
                                            do shell script "killall " & name of thisApp
                                  end try
                        end try

  • I got the Mac error code -36 while trying to move a backup file

    I got the Mac error code -36 while trying to move a backup file (made by Time Machine) to another drive.  The full text of the error message is:
    The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “boot.efi” can’t be read or written. (Error code -36)

    It's a disk error. Although Apple documentation says you should be able to copy Time Machine backups in the FInder, that doesn't necessarily mean it will work. I suggest that, instead of copying the existing backup, you start a new one on the other drive, and keep the old one. You need more than one backup anyway.

  • SWAP?  CS3 Win for CS3 Mac

    I have Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium for Windows, and I recently moved over a Mac platform.  I am not in a position to upgrade as yet to CS4, so looking for someone who may be in the reverse situation who may want to swap a CS3 Mac for my CS3Win.
    I purchased my version as a download, so basically all we need to exchange are serial numbers, or happy to zip up the files and place online for you to download if necessary.  I am happy to do same in reverse, or receive a boxed version if that is easier.
    (Adobe only offers a cross platform exchange for current versions.)
    Please respond here if you are interested, and we can make arrangements.
    regards

  • How can one place a single image on a spread? CS3-MAC

    Hi all,
    i How can one place a single image on a spread? CS3-MAC
    A very straight forward question I think. I just never did it before. Anyone knows of a fast technique of doing this? I have to make 70+ images this way. Could it be scripted?
    thanx in advance
    Michael

    You'll need to be more specific. Placing a single image on one spread is drop-dead simple. File > Place, choose file, click (or click-and-drag) to place, scale and position as desired. You can ask about scripting in the
    scripting forum.
    You might not need to script this to get efficient use of time. Make a picture frame on the master spread and then insert 140 pages (70 2-page spreads) based on that master. File > Place, and select all 70 files. (They need to be in one folder. Click on the top file, scroll down, lick on the bottom file.) Zoom out and click once on each spread to place each image. Should work faster that writing, testing, debugging, and running a script.

  • CS3/Mac photoshop.executeScript problem

    Hello
    I am having trouble getting photoshop.executeScript() to work on CS3/Mac. photoshop.executeScript is a simple wrapper for BridgeTalk and I want to call it from InDesign.
    I have seen reports of others being unable to get it to work. However, I have also seen reports of people doing InDesign/Photoshop cross DOM scripting.
    Using ESTK2 the following 1-line script works with target apps bridge, illustrator and indesign but not photoshop (unless photoshop is also the host):
    app.executeScript("alert((12345678).toString());");
    I would like to know whether this is a problem specific to my installation.
    I have also looked at how BridgeTalkIterator in the Bridge CS3 WasScriptLibrary.jsx does things and can't figure out how I might get photoshop.executeScript to work for me in InDesign.
    Any clues would be much appreciated...

    There is no app.executeScript function in PS.
    photoshop.executeScript('alert("testing")') works fine for me from ESTK2 and
    from in PSCS3 on XP.

  • Flash CS3 Mac/Win Projector Publishing - Using older version of Flash

    Hi,
    How can I use an older version of Flash player when publishing to Man/Win Projector? The Properties says 'Player: 7' but when I publish to Mac/Win (.app/.exe) the file says it uses Flash player 9 (9.0.115.0)!
    One of our clients are having issues with a project published this way - on autoplay they get a white screen instead of the program screen and after they update Flash on their computer, the application (Projector) works. What's the issue?
    This is what I have on my first frame (using AS2), is any of this suspect to older versions of Flash? :
    <code as2>
    fscommand("fullscreen", true);
    fscommand("allowscale", false);
            trace("This is a " + System.capabilities.os + " system.");
    var os:String = System.capabilities.os.substr(0, 3);
            if (os == "Win") {
              trace("Windows-specific code goes here");
            } else if (os == "Mac") {
              trace("Mac-specific code goes here");
            } else {
              trace("Must be Unix or Linux"); 
    var videoStartNumber:Number =0;
    var originalMenu:Number = 1;
    _root.menu1_1.onRelease = function() {videoStartNumber = 1; gotoAndPlay(5);}
    _root.menu1_2.onRelease = function() {originalMenu = 3; gotoAndPlay(3);}
    _root.menu1_3.onRelease = function() {originalMenu = 4; gotoAndPlay(4);}
    _root.menu1_4.onRelease = function() {gotoAndPlay(2);}
    _root.exitButton.onRelease = function() {fscommand("quit");}
    stop();
    </code as2>
    But even if something on this project wouldn't work on an older version than 9.0.115.0 then it shouldn't matter as the Projector will always use the embedded Flash player, not the player installed on the computer, right?
    Really would appreciate any help.
    Thanks!
    PJ

    Please, can someone help me?
    Our client is getting frustrated and I'm out of ideas as to what's wrong with the Projector executable! Why would it give white screen on launch on some systems and not on others?
    Sincerely,
    PJ Palomaki

  • How to deactivate a Photoshop 10.0/CS3 (Mac) serial key when the workstation with the activated installation has been entirely wiped?

    Hello,
    We have a license for Photoshop 10.0/CS3 (Mac version) but it appears that the users previous workstation was wiped without deactivating the installation of Photoshop. Now when he tries to activate the product, it says that the maximum number of activations allowed has been reached. Does this mean that we need to deactivate the serial key somehow? If so, how are we supposed to do it without the activated installation?
    Thank you very much,

    Please share your serial number via private message so that i can help you out in activating CS3 Photoshop.

  • Photoshop CS3 Mac: Crashes on startup?

    Photoshop CS3 Mac: Crashes on startup?
    Hi all!
    I just today installed CS 3 Web Premium on my G5 (Dual 2.7GHz, 2GB RAM, Mac OS 10.4.9, all updates installed). The install seems to succeed, and I've activated the suite, and all the other applications launch without a problem. But Photoshop doesn't. It shows the splash screen and gets as far as "Initializing Suites" when it drops off the face of the earth, and I'm prompted to send a crash report to Adobe (done).
    I've tried restarting the Mac, re-installing just Photoshop, and even creating a new Admin user and trying it there, but Photoshop still crashes in the same place. So it's apparently nothing in my user account or just a randomly mucked-up install.
    I did a search here for "initializing suites" but nothing came up, and even Google found just one other report of a CS3 crash at exactly that point, so a) it's not common, but b) it's nevertheless not just me. Hmm.
    Has anybody seen this? I'm funkified...
    Pres

    Ramón is exaggerating.
    First: find the uninstaller in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers and TRY to run it even though you already deleted the application.
    If it won't DO anything, go to Macinosh HD/Users/your username/Library/Preferences and delete the Adobe Photoshop CS3 Settings folder (and its content) PLUS the Adobe Photoshop CS3 Paths file in same location, PLUS the com.adobe.Photoshop.plist file in same location.
    Then try to reinstall again.
    If that doesn't work, run the cs3 clean again. Note that it is a script and that it asks you questions that you have to answer to and type in replies to for it to do anything. I fyou donät interact with it it won't do a thing. Note that it might clean out more adobe files than you would wish for.
    There are instructions here
    for how to unisntall the public beta of Photoshop CS3 but you might be able to follow those also for a non-beta. There are no instructions for manually removing Photoshop CS3 at the support center as far as I can see (on the other hand it is next to impossible to find anything on the support pages by doing a search.. search for Photoshop CS 3 for Mac and get articles about Illlustrator or CS...).

  • CS3 Mac: Button highlights preview and show on computer but not set top player

    Hi,
    I have a pretty simple project on CS3 Mac Encore (all Apple & Adobe updates except Quicktime is 7.3.1). It consists of three menus which started as Photoshop files with the button overlays done in Photoshop.
    I have been DVD authoring a long time on DVD Studio Pro and am an expert with After Effects, so I had no problems setting up the DVD on Encore. It previews perfectly, and when I burn it to DVD, it plays perfectly on my Mac. However, when I tried to play it on two different set top DVD players (both high quality - one JVC and one Panasonic) the button highlights do not show up at all -- you can't tell at all which button is active.
    I hunted through the posts here and at other forums, and the only suggestions that I have found are that it might be a corrupted project. I have tried trashing the preferences, repairing permissions, and rebooting, and the problem persists. It is a very new installation (I recently formatted the drive, and installed a fresh OS with Apple's suite and Adobe's suite because of the recent Quicktime 7.4 bug).
    So... I will try to create a new project and see if this still happens. In the meantime, has anyone else seen this?
    Thanks,
    Graham Jones.

    I'm having the same problems with a very simple dvd I created. 1 main menu (static background image and buttons from the encore library) and 1 scene selection menu (static background with the same button). Ouput to dvd -r and have 100% playback on computer, but I'm having varied playback on set top players. The dvd's play, but button highlight is not visible. The dvd will navigate as long as you count the clicks of the remote... I have duped 40 copies and my client couldn't play them on several different dvd players he has. We have tried them on several of our own players and not found a problem, but I traveled to his site and checked myself; they don't work. The 2 players that wouldn't display the highlights are a jvc dr-mv5su and a brand new durabrand sts96. I have re-created my dvd using dvd architect and they play fine on all the players (using a standard underlined text highlight). Any suggestions??? I really don't think I'm doing anything wrong, but I am new to Encore CS3 Mac.
