DW won't let me change a library item "change will be discarded"

I built a site and I have library items for my logo and
navigation and some thumbnails. I want to use a different file/lbi
file for my header. When I delete the current library item and try
to put a new one in, I get this message: "making this change would
require changing code that is locked by a template or translator.
The change will be discarded." I honestly don't know what to do; I
really need to specify a different file for my header but it won't
let me, and I have over 100 pages and I made all thumbnails,
rollovers, and all links manually and the file that it's using
isn't working right. I just want to put the correct one in there; I
don't know how I can possibly build my site completely from scratch
- what can I do?
This is a related issue, but I'm not sure how: I have two
library items named the same thing in two different folders; some
files refer to one, some to the other, but I want them all to refer
to the correct one; I can't make change since I get that error
message. I'm confused about which file is which, I'd deleted one
before, then restored it...thank you so much for any help. I'm
trying to build my portfolio site for an art exhibition...

Happily. One of the pages of the site I'm having problems
with is
http://www.hopeedwards.com/TEST_new_website/Hope_website/assorted_art.htm
I also attached code for it. [note: the home/index page only
works in Firefox but the other tabs work in IE and Safari. Also,
everything is shoved down wrong in IE and it only looks right in
Firefox] I am running Adobe CS3 on an Intel based Mac Pro with
Tiger OSX 10.4. I'm having trouble with a couple library items. The
very top library item is logo_and_navigation.lbi - all was okay
with it except I somehow had a couple different copies of it in my
Library folder, so I moved one of them to a folder within the site
called "Trashes". Then I deleted that one because I didn't want two
copies and the logo and nav disappeared on some pages that used
that one. I reinstated it in the trashes folder. The pages that use
that located in the Trashes folder are the index, Assorted Art, and
Commercial Work. The ones that use the one in the Library folder
are Clue Series and About & Contact.
I would like them all to use just one file so I only have to
edit one file if I make changes. I've tried several things: I've
tried selecting and deleting the item in the documents and
inserting the proper copy. It won't let me. I get the message
"making this change would require changing code that is locked by a
template or translator. The change will be discarded." I've tried
doing a Find and Replace and replacing the word Trashes with
Library to specify the correct folder info but that doesn't work,
probably because it can't change code in the library item.
I had a similar problem with the thumbnails library items
when I tried to build my other pages doing a File Save As from the
first one I built in Assorted Art. When I tried to create a
Commercial Work page from it, I deleted the thumbnails library item
because it was the Assorted Art thumbnails. When I tried to insert
the Commercial Work thumbnails library item I got that error
message. It was so frustrating; I had to go in and build the
Commercial Work page from scratch. I had to do that with each
different tab. It just doesn't seem right that you can't swap out
library items.
Anyway, I'd completely appreciate any help or feedback! I
really would!
Hope

I upgraded my Itunes to the latest version and now it won't let me view my library with the column browser. Can i get that back?

i upgraded my Itunes to the latest version and now it won't let me view my library with the column browser. Can i get that back? I tried using the shortcut for it and nothing happens. When I try to do it from the view menu, it shows up as something I can't click on. The new library format is driving me crazy and I just want to get back to the old library view.

We need to sort out some facts here first:
• You cannot be running Mt. Lion on your iMac G5. What Mac is it? What is the Model Identifier listed in About This Mac; More Info; Hardware Overview
• What is the model of your Epson Scanner?
• Have you attempted to scan using Image Capture, located in your Applications folder?
• Your Palm Pilot software will only run in Snow Leopard; so depending upon which Mac you have, you will either have to:
1) partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it to "dual-boot" when you want to access you Palm software, or
2) install Snow Leopard Server (now available from Apple for $20 telephone orders USA & Canda only) into Parallels 8 to run your Palm software in Mt. Lion:

It won't let my friend update stuff but it will let her download apps?

We are going through same thing and looks like alot of other people also. Seems to me Apple would have invalid email instead of us loosing the gift card all together. Very irratating. Good Luck.

Laptop won't let me play any video or change the brightness of the screen at all.

I got this new Laptop a few months ago and it has just recently started to play up slightly and not let me change my brightness settings at all and now it won't let me play any videos.

I got a solution
First check out your performance settings and if u dont know where to find it just right click on my computer and enter to propreties then click on performance and tools, then if the gamming and desktop aero system are 1.0 then you have three solutions.
1) Install a new windows
2) check out your computer driver and install tge latest version
3) or simply you can download DRIVER PAC SOLUTION and install it then after installation is done you might wanna restart the system and check performance again then it should desplay NEW HARDWARE DETECT REFRESH NOW then click on refreah and the rating is gonna go up from1.0.to higher than 4.0.

I have forgotten my security question answers. My Apple ID won't let me into my account to change them until I've answered them. Help?

In iTunes, it won't let me purchase anything for my account until I've answered two security questions. Since I have forgotten the answers, I went onto the customer support page. They said there should be a link so that I can reset the answers, but it asks me again for the answers to two security questions before I can access my Passwords and Security file. I then went onto customer support, but that sent me in one big loop right back to where I started. What do I do to reset my answers? Please help!

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

Won't let me save as archive nor change software instrument to audio track

You were able to do both of these before iLife 09. Also, I see the option to archive, but it won't let me select it. Anyone?

One: Locking a track mixes it down to an audio track (hidden in the project package in a folder called "Freeze Files") that is being used on playback, so the computer doesn't have to render the software instruments.
Two: If by "sound modules" you mean the software instruments - no, they are not included in a "Save as Archive" file. As I said, it's the audio loops and copied regions. Try adding a blue audio loop to your song, and the "Save as Archive" option will appear!

HT1589 I hold shift & it won't let me open the library I select. Help!

I hold shift, it asks me if I want to open or create a new library. I click open. I click on my daughters library. It opens it further instead of just opening itunes. Than I try to click on media & open, it opens it further. It doesn't let me open the library. It keeps opening the previous library I had open which is my husbands. It is NOT child appropriate, so please HELP!! My daughter really wants a movie we have a digital copy of but I can't get it on her ipod since it is in her library.

There is no itunes for Android

Changed a Library Item and now my CSS no longer works!

I am so frustrated I am almost in tears. I created a menu in a roughly 7 page website and used DW Library menu to put it on additional pages. Everything was working fine and then I changed a path to one of my links and hit the button to update the rest of the pages and that's when it happend. My CSS was gone, no longer applying to any of my menus. I created an additional CSS sheet just to style my menu and it worked fine up until I changed a frickin link to one my menu icons. Now my CSS sheets won't apply at all. I have no idea what has happened and why me changing the path of a link would void out my styles. Has anyone else had this happen? Suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I don't want to rub salt into your wounds here, but why are you using Library Items for menus? That's what DW Templates are for.
http://www.smartwebby.com/web_site_design/dreamweaver_template.asp#1
Or better still, Server-Side Includes.
http://www.smartwebby.com/web_site_design/server_side_includes.asp
Shortcomings of Library Items: they cannot be inserted into the <head> tags of documents. Nor can they contain code that belongs in the <head> tags. Library items can only be inserted into the <body> tags.
My advice is to run your code through the online validation tools below and fix reported errors.
HTML - http://validator.w3.org/
CSS - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
If you can't solve the problem yourself, upload page(s) and supporting files to a public web space you control and post the URL here.

Library item changed apperance.

I committed my nav bar ul to a library item and now the appearance of my nav bar has an off white background and I cannot change it back. Why did this happen? Thank you.

Possibly you inserted library item in the wrong division. Would need to see your CSS & HTML code to give more meaningful answers.

Library item change and check in/check out

Here's the scenario:
We're using check in /check out - DW 8.02
My co-worker makes changes to several files
I take a look at them on the site, they look fine.
Now she checks in everything.
I make changes to a library item (menu) that affects the
whole site. The library dialog asks me if I want to check out the
files, I say "yes to all".
I wait a long time while the files are all checked out and
changed (500 files).
Looks Okay, so I, folder by folder, check them in again (I
didn't use syncronize)
and her changes are gone. Mine are fine.
All I can think of is that DW used my local copies of the
files instead of bringing down the ones on the server, even though
it looked like they were being checked out. Why? What would cause
this?

HT1751 It won't let me transfer my library to an external hard drive...help?

I have tried draging the music folder to the hard drive, but it rejects it.

First move your itunes music folder by going to edit>preferences>Advanced tab>general sub tab hit the "Change" button and select the external drive then hit ok
Now goto Advanced>consolidate library.
When you consolidate the library, this COPIES all files listed in itunes to the "iTUnes Music" folder (Which should now be on your external drive) and points itunes to these copies. Once its done you have to manually go into your C drive on the laptop and delete the music thats still there
