DW8 hangs at 'loading site cache'

I have been running DW8 on a Vista successfully for several months. Last night I ran DW8 and it got as far as 'loading site cache' and just hung. I've tried rebooting and reinstalling and still it hangs. There was another thread here about deleting files in the configuration folder -- I tried that and still no success.
My PC is a Dell Studio with 8 GB of RAM. I've never had this problem before.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

How to Boot DW5 without loading Site Cache?

Is there a way to start/open Dreamweaver 5 without the site cache loading first? I realize it loads because i have the "enable cache" checked, but I'm in a weird situation where the cache takes six hours to load. I need a way to bring up DreamWeaver so i can disable the "eable cache."
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Im runnig Windows 7 professional, if it matters.
Thanks

the cache takes six hours to load
6 hours to load? Literally? How large is the site? What are the computer specs? All the latest updates? 32bit/64bit? Anything more?
I know this isn't a KB article directly related to your problem, but try #12, 4 and 13.

After syncing Firefox with my Android phone, Google calendar is not functional. It hangs on "Loading" and will not allow updates or edits. Calendar works in IE, just not Firefox on any computer. Clearing cookies and cache no help.

I synced Firefox with my Droid Razr Maxx Firefox. Now Google Calendar hangs on "Loading" and will not function. Clearing cache and cookies does not help. Works the same on any computer Firefox. But Gmail works fine and Calendar is okay under other browsers.

DW CS3 not importing entire site cache from DW8

Hi;
I upgraded to the CS3 web premium suite from studio 8. My
site caches were
imported but the log on info for each was not. Is there a fix
for this ?
Thanks;
Pat

I dunno. Go into DW8 and EXPORT the site definitions with
their login info.
Import them into CS3.

Fix: Recreate site cache hang

You've probably encountered the hang in Dreamweaver when
attempting to "Recreate Site Cache" when the site was on a shared
network drive.
Many messages on the net attempt to explain the reasoning as
a bug in Dreamweaver, or an issue with the network, but in my case
it was a matter of the McAfee Virus protection. As soon as I made
the following adjustment, the "Recreate Site Cache" worked like a
dream (no pun intended).
NOTE: MAKE THESE CHANGES TO YOUR MCAFEE AT YOUR OWN RISK
SINCE IT INVOLVES TURNING OFF SCANING OF NETWORK DRIVES!
To fix:
1) Open McAfee Security Center
2) Choose "Configure"
3) Choose "Computers & Files"
4) Choose "SystemGuard Protection"
5) Choose the "Advanced" button
6) Choose "Realtime Scanning"
7) Uncheck the "Scan Network Drives" checkbox.
Happy coding!

I wonder if people have similar issues with Symantec/Norton's
patented "Whole-System Slowdown Engine™"?

Safari hangs when loading web pages.

I'm new to the Mac and had my machine less than a week. However, I'm having problems with Safari/Internet. Generally it's fine, but from time to time Safari hangs and it can take a few minutes for it to spring back into life and load the desired web page. It's not the internet itself as I tested it on another device whilst experiencing the problem and could load sites fine. I can only think it's a problem either with some setting in Safari, or with the Mac's WiFi.
Has anyone experienced the same issue, or more to the point does anyone know how to fix it?

From the menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab.
If you have any installed, turn that OFF, quit, relaunch Safari to test.
Try Safari > Preferences - Privacy. Click Remove All Website Data. Quit, relaunch Safari to test.
If you installed anti virus software, disable that.
If you installed any Safari third party add ons, follow the instructions here > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
And try deleting the cache.db file.
Quit Safari.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safar/Cache.db
Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari.

Computer hangs on certain sites

Lately my iMac (OS 10.8.5) has started hanging on certain sites so I have to force close them. It happens no matter what browser I use, and so far it happens only on sports related sites. It doesn't happen with my iPad or my daughter's Macbook Pro. So far as I can tell, all my plugins, etc., are up to date. Any thoughts about what might be going on and what I can do about it?

Eric,
Didn't work. I tried the Reset yesterday, then again today after emptying the cache. It seems that both Safari and Firefox are being tripped up by trying to load a particular ad. (In Firefox I can see what it's getting hung up on.) I think both browsers will deal with the problem in time. For now, I'm going to download Google Chrome and see if it can handle the ad.
Thanks for the advice.

Crash when updating site cache? MM_Username1?

Hi,
All of a sudden, tonight, DW8.0.2 will no longer open or load
one of my
sites, crashing when "Updating Site Cache". The site is ASP
linked to an SQL
database.
Checking the file that the cache gets to, I notice that the
problem file is
within a sub-directory of the site, called "/admin". Thing is
though, it's
not always the same file, but it IS always a file within the
/admin
sub-directory.
Within this sub-directory I altered, by hand, the Login User
code and
Restrict Access to Page code to create and use the session
variable
MM_Username1 as opposed to the default MM_Username.
Could this be the reason for the sudden trouble with the site
cache? I am
puzzled because the site was working fine for a few weeks
now, with this
sub-directory included, and I didn't create the MM_Username1
issue today
either, it has also been working fine for a good few weeks
now. I've also
not added anything new to the site, that I am aware of.
When I remove the sub-directory from the site, the Updating
Site Cache works
fine, so I am 100% sure there is a problem with the files
within this
sub-directory. How will I know which one though?
I've tried this, as recommended by Adobe, but I still get a
freeze-up when
re-creating the cache:
1. Try renaming the Dreamweaver user configuration folder, so
that
Dreamweaver will automatically generate a new user
configuration folder the
next time Dreamweaver launches. The Configuration folder is
located here:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver
8\Configuration
2. Recreate your Dreamweaver user settings in the registry as
follows:
Launch the Registry Editor by clicking the Start button,
choose Run, then
type "regedit". In the Registry Editor, navigate to this
folder:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 8
Rename the "Dreamweaver 8" key to "DreamweaverOLD", so that
Dreamweaver will
automatically generate a new user settings key the next time
you launch it.
3. Recreate your Dreamweaver site definitions in the registry
as follows.
The steps below will delete your site definitions in
Dreamweaver.
4. Launch the Registry Editor by clicking the Start button,
choose Run, then
type "regedit". In the Registry Editor, navigate to this
folder:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia\Common\8\Sites
Rename the "Sites" key to "SitesOLD", so that Dreamweaver
will automatically
generate a new Sites key the next time you launch it.
Any further advice?
Regards
nath.

Found it! Jeesh.
I had a querystring value in my UPDATE redirect URL which was
coded
incorrectly!!!
I am frustrated that, rather than just highlighting the error
or, at the
very least, producing an error when opening the specific
file, this type of
thing crashed the entire DW programme.
The time I spent in Notepad today changing MM_Username1 back
to
MM_Username!! Turns out that was nothing to do with it.
<groan> Yeah,
that's right, laugh it up! :o)
Anyway, solved now. A misplaced ", %, ), (, <, >, &
etc can cause you no
end of grief! :o(

DW 8 Crashing on updating the site cache

This is a site that I've been working on, on and off, for a
year or more and suddenly in the past week or so DW has been
hanging whenever I try and load this site. It seems to do it when
updating the site cache. It doesn't crash exactly, but will hang on
the splash screen, and won't advance beyond that point. I've
reinstalled DW, removed all extensions, deleted the Configuration
folder, but it keeps coming back. I've discovered that if I copy
all the files in that folder somewhere else, load the site, and
then copy them all back, it will load; but obviously this isn't a
workable solution. I don't know WHICH file is causing it to hang;
I've tried removing only the file that it seems to hang on, but
then it hangs on a different one (and so on).
Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

See if this helps:

DW8 hangs on startup

I searched the forums for my issue but the search came up
empty. When I start DW8 it hangs on the splash screen where it says
"initializing extension data" and I have to force quit the app.
I've tried the following:
Unchecked all extensions in the manager - made no difference.
Also removed extensions entirely.
Tried removing the /configuration/ folder to no avail.
Removed "dreamweaver 8 prefs" from /library/preferences/
folder.
Reinstalled, no help.
I can open DW if I log in as a different user (admin), but
not as my usual self.
I've searched the web and found the issue, but all for
Windows and nothing suggested applies to Mac or worked.
Yikes, I'm getting worried as I have clients waiting on me.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Eyez, I did the permissions fix too.
I just found another "to do" on Adobe's site:
If you're using Dreamweaver 8, rename the
Users/<username>/Library/Application
Support/Macromedia/Common/8/Sites/Site Prefs file to Site Prefs
Old.
For those with similar issues, here is what hapened to me ...
Renaming the site prefs file helped for a moment, then DW
hung again. I went around in circles for another 45 minutes and was
able to get DW working long enough to remove the site def which I
believed was the problem. Recreated the site and it hung when
trying to cache the files (~16,000 of them). Got DW open again,
cloaked the folder for my local use only (containing the majority
of files). Performed a "recreate site cache" of the ~3000 actual
site files.
I'm now running DW, although a little slower than before. Am
sending positive juju to DW while working. Hey, whatever works
right?

Firefox hangs on all sites with flash content.

Firefox hangs on all sites with flash content. If I disable the flash plugin there is no hanging but obviously no flash content either. I have tried all the suggested actions found in the help sections for hanging and plugin problems. The Honda UK site listed below is one of many I am unable to access with flash enabled.

Yep, this issue only happens on Windows 7 32-bit machines, currently 6.
Do you have any 32bit systems that don't fail?
Yep, the most Windows 7 32-bit machines wont fail.
What about hardware, are there similarities here? Attached devices/drivers? Software that is running at the time?
These machines are all from DELL. They all have normal hardware, nothing special. Other machines from same type does not affected. Software: All have standard software distributed via Software-distribution (GPO). Only some PCs have special software, but it is not running. No special drives, too.
Maybe try booting Windows in safe mode to see if it still hangs?
Good idea, indeed - I will try this.
We're definitely interested in what's going on. I'll ask our security and Mozilla folks to see if they have additional clues.
Thanks!
EDIT:
Safe mode: Flash is working! (without disabled Protected Mode!)
I've set msconfig now to: Custom system start and deselected the boxes to load systemservices and system start elements.
So, now windows does a non-safe mode boot but no service or element was loaded except the drivers (right?). Flash is not working with this config!
So, whats the difference between safe mode and normal boot with minimal configuration (see attached picture).
Only drivers will be loaded, right? If so, I can exclude the network and graphics driver as source: graphics driver are updated right now and network was working in safe-mode.
Any new ideas?

IPhoto 11 and 10.8.2 Hangs when loading library

Ok.. I have just done my 4th clean install of Mountain Lion in the last 3 months. Due to issues I've manually restored my iPhoto, iTunes, iMovie and Garageband content back to my new clean system and then opened the above mentioned programs.
The problem is that iPhoto will not get past the opening after I choose the iPhoto library.
My test account will open a blank iPhoto library. But the main user account just hangs when loading the library.
So far I've done the following.
Launched with Command and Option and rebuilt the library and used the iphoto library 3rd party tool to rebuild the library.
I've cleaned disk permissions.
I've run Onyx and cleaned the entire system.
I've trashed iPhoto and reinstalled iPhoto from the iPhoto 11 disk and then updated through the App store.
What else can I try? My iPhoto library is 54 Gigs and is all my digital photos of my kids since they were born 10 years ago.

One simple thing you can try is Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

My iPad2 will sometimes hang when loading an mp4. Gives an error message then attempts to resync which hangs until I unplug the iPad.

My iPad2 will sometimes hang when loading an mp4. Gives an error message then attempts to resync which hangs until I unplug the iPad.
I have an iPad 2and have not had any trouble until I up dated my os. I have a pc with win 7. I do not sync since I have so much music on my computer. I synced my apps during the back up but I had to manually reload my music and videos. Since then I turned off all syncs.
Since I have to load all my movies on this has been happening. I get through about 4 movies then it will hang up. I eventually get an error message that it cannot load this movie. I then attempts to close out. This seems to hang. When I attempt to eject the iPad it attempts to sync and that never finishes. I pull the plug and that stops the sync but I have to restart the computer before I plug back in the iPad or it will not recognize it or it will attempt to finish the sync which never ends. It sometimes hangs on something with safari and site protection.
After I restart my computer I can put in 4 or so movies, including the one it hung on before, but it always hangs up again. Any suggestions?

I am having an almost identical problem and hoped that iOS 6 and the new iTunes would fix it. Regrettably, I again got 3 movies synced last night before iTunes locked up and gave me the xxxx cannot be synced "because the file cannot be written" message. Same deal with iTunes hanging on "finishing sync" after that and me having to remove the iPad from the cable to get things to come back to life on the PC (Win 7 64 bit).
I've also done a factory restore followed by a restore from backup and have the same problem.

After uninstalling site caches remain?

I've been having probs with DW8 running incredibly slow on
windows xp sp2.
I did a full uninstall, made sure no virus software was
running on it (which I was told might slow down DW8)
Then made sure there was nothing left in the registry using
RegClean, then deleted the Configuration folder that was left in
the Application Data folder....
I then installed it from scratch. Upon launch it then said
"updating site cache" and it new exactly what sites I had saved in,
and where they were on my hard drive and also all the passwords and
remote information.
Now its still as s...l...o...w... as ever and I want to know
how to totally uninstall it so no information is left so I can be
sure I have a brand new install.
How/why/where does it get this cache information from? Where
is that hiding and does anyone know why it is so slow?
Thanks,
Matt

Matt,
DW stores site info in the Registry here:
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia\Common\8\Sites
Be sure to export all of your Site definitions before you
delete the
Registry.

Browser can't load sites using 1.4 plugin when service is running

Hi,
I am having some strange problems and am hoping someone here might be able to offer some insight to help me solve it.
Some customers have reported a problem with our software that runs as a service on Windows machines. When the service is started, they cannot use IE or Netscape to view sites that require the Java 1.4 plugin [They have 1.4.2 installed].
We tried to reproduce the problem here and were unable to. We tried a different machine and now can reproduce it all the time. All of our test machines and the customer's test machines have the same software installed - except for hardware drivers.
Here is what happens:
If the browser is open already, and our software service is started, then the browser has no problem connecting and viewing applets that use the 1.4 plugin.
If the browser is not open when the service is started, then when the browser is opened one cannot view applets that require the 1.4 plugin.
So, it seems as though everything works fine as long as the browser is open before running our service. If the browser is closed when the service is started, then there seems to be some conflict with the 1.4 plugin and the browser will not load sites that require it.
Any ideas what may be happening here?
Thanks!

Hi all,
I have the same problem. If I start Tomcat 5.0.24 as a service on my Win2k and
open a page containing an applet (using 1.4.2_02 plugin) the IE hangs.
If the IE started before the Tomcat service then it works fine.
Any comments would be appreciated.
Regards,
Peter Bartha
