DWT Library item won't update if there is an HTML error?

I'm updating a DWT site for a client and I have found from time to time the library items stop updating and I believe this happens when there is an HTML error.
Example: I omitted a </ul> tag by mistake at some point recently and updated the pages in the site. Now that I've discovered the error I fixed it, but when I update the pages the dialog goes through each page but makes no change. I've found I can fix it by opening the pages in an external editor and fixing the code manually, but this seems to defeat the purpose of the templates.
I've tried researching this but I haven't found anyone else reporting this or any possible solutions. Is this a quirk on my system or has anyone else experienced this?
Dreamweaver CC 13.1 Build 6443
(Oh it's so frustrating that clicking anywhere closes the About dialog. I tried to copy the version number at least 4 times before I slowed myself down and remembered it.)

Thanks for that. I agree with the 'it should still work'. The 'libraryitem' tags are still there and the library code is yellowed out. I just wondered if there was a quick fix to reinstate the updating.
Since I posted this, I have discovered that the update works on files that are OPEN in DW. It's only the site files not open. I have opened all the .aspx files and run a library change successfully.
HOWEVER, if I close those files and update again, they still don't do it. I now suspect that there is a hidden DW file, like the lock files on the server, or perhaps a component of the .lbi file, that lists the files to update.

Library item won't update

I edited a graphic used in my cp file, but when I go to the
library to update it, the update library items dialog shows the
file name with a warning icon next to it and no path. When I point
to the icon, it says "This item is internal". Can someone explain?
Thanks

Rick, John
Thanks for your responses.
John, no I'm pretty clear on the differences between 'update'
and 'edit with'...in this case, I had changed the graphic outside
of Captivate, and wanted to update the image used in the movie.
However, I haven't been using 'edit with' and may try that as well.
Could save me a bit of time
Rick
I see what you're saying. I try to be consistent about
importing into the library then inserting from there, but there are
always exceptions--I may have copied and pasted or even moved the
graphics. Honestly don't remember but I'll investigate.
But I do wonder...how does importing from another movie
affect the library? Are the items from the imported slides added to
the library automatically?
Thanks

Library Items won't Update!!

Argh, I've broken my menu for my website, which is a library item. I was getting an error when I validated one of the pages, and found it was an issue with my list not being properly nested within the library item's html. I thought I'd be smart and add a doctype to the library item, so that I could validate it on it's own and pinpoint the problem.
Apparently, the doctype addition was added into all of my pages that contain the library item. Now I can't seem to easily get rid of it! I changed my menu's html to get rid of the doctype, but this change is not reflected when I update all pages. I go to Modify>Library>Update Pages... and choose to update the entire site. Nothing happens! The doctype is still in all of my pages that contain the menu, and it breaks the page (nothing shows in the Design view window.)
Please help! I really don't want to have to delete and reinsert the menu on every page of my website. : (
Here's an example, with the doctype error in the library item "menu-multilevel.lbi":

I've never used Library Items. IMO Server-Side Includes are better for this.
Can you do a Find & Replace in the Source Code (Ctrl+F) for this line?
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Library items won't update - DW 8

Help!
I can't get my library items to update - all the files are in the folder 'Library'. I have updated all the pages (when prompted). I then applied changes (Modify>Library>Update Pages - for the entire site). Nothing actually updated. I am using Dreamweaver 8 on Windows XP.

Thanks. It's the main nav.menu on the left that I am trying to update. (www.lecss.com)
Here's the code for the menu.lbi that has the changes (but that are not showing/updating)

When updating iTunes I get a message saying invalid signature and it won't update, is there a fix for this?

When updating iTunes on my PC I get a message saying "invalid signature" and it won't update. Is there a fix for this that I can do myself or do I need to take it in to a computer guy?

Library item won't place

I am not being able to place a library item. This should not
be
difficult and I think I am doing it correctly, but when I
place it, all
I get is a hyperlink to the lbl file.
I am working on this page:

The sidebar on the right is a library item that in this case
is a place
holder from the template that I used to create it. The
library item is
in an editable region.
I have tried a few ways of doing this. I have selected the
library item
in design view, dragged the library item from the libray
folder onto the
selected area in design view, and I get the link instead.
I tried the same process with the same results in code view.
The DW instructions say another way is to choose 'Insert' but
I do not
what 'Insert' they mean.
Am I doing something wrong? What am I missing?
Thanks for the help.

Select the Library item in the Assets panel. Click where you
want the
library item inserted. Click on INSERT on the Assets panel.
But I am not understanding your post. What happens when you
do what you
describe?

IPhone 3G won't update to 2.1; claims unknown error (-19)

Hi guys. Trying to update my vanilla 3G (which was only restored two days ago) to the 2.1 update today and it simply won't update. It manages to download correctly but just after 'extracting' it fails. I've restarted the phone, i've restarted iTunes, swapped USB ports and all i get is this: http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/8817/picture146yk2.png
Any ideas? At the moment i'm doing a massive, long backup with the hope that I will be able to do a restore & update and restore from the backup but I doubt this will work as every backup i've made in the last few months is reportedly 'corrupt'. Would it be worth phoning Apple support?
Thanks,
Phelim

My friend encountered the same problem with the 2.0 or 2.02 updates. We narrowed it down to the internet connection (believe it or not).
Their macs and dell were networked via a Hawking wireless router setup. Somehow, the iPhone update file would get corrupt and not allow the iphone to update.
When either the mac OR the dell was plugged into the cable modem directly (not the third party Hawking device), the updates went smoothly on both iphones.
And this happened on separate occasions.
I'm not sure if this was due to error or "noise" on the cable connection that somehow were not being corrected or perhaps were being mangled by the wifi device.... but it sure fixed the problem 100%.
Try connecting your computer directly to your broadband modem. See if that allows you to update.
good luck!

Hello :) I cannot open my itunes after un update. There is no particular error.

I had read similar questions and i followed all the advices that i found .. but.. nothing happened
I tried to:
- reinstall my program;
- update my quicktame;
- to find itunes.exe in my task manage->processes and delete it (there is only ituneshelper there) (i've read this somewhere here)
- to delete this files - theSC Info.sidbfile and theSC Info.sidd ..... but in this folder location (C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info.) there is only .txt file "sc info".
Is there any other solution tо fix this problem?
Thank you in advance

Hello alittlebitofyou,
It sounds like your iTunes doesn't launch when you click it even after you reintsalled the iTunes application, updated Quicktime, etc. I would use the troubleshooting for this sort of issue from the following article, named:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
It is possible that you may need to reinstall iTunes, but there is a specific order to uninstall not just iTunes but its associated apps as well. Just follow the article step by step as far as you need to.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Ipod won't update music and i get wierd error messages

I've never gotten any error messages with my ipod before, i've been trying for about an hour to get it to update my music. I'm backing up my music to make sure i don't have to worry about losing it all when i try restoring. My itunes tells me that my ipod software is too old but on the summary page it says its up to date, can anyone help me with this?

Hi
Have a look
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3125481&#3125481

My Ipod touch 3g won't update to ios 5, i get error code 3194, and i checked what that meant. It said i needed to update Itunes, and when i tried, it was already updated. My Ipod is running 4.3.5 HELP!

Please Help!

iTunes only allows you to update to the latest iOS which is 5.0.1.
Disabling the computer's security software (firewall and antivirus) during the download and update usually resolves the problem.

Dreamweaver Teamplate with Library Item for Navigation/Sidebar not updating editable classes

I have a Dreamweaver Template that contains two Library items. One Library item is my navigation bar, the other is a sidebar that shows different content depending on what page you are on. I'm assigning an editable class "active" to the navigation bar to show you are on a particular page, and also assigning the editable class "active" to the sidebar to reveal a portion of the sidebar with links pertaining to that specific page. The default value for the class is "hidden". So what is happening is when I open a page I have created and "edit" the Library Items in it to edit these classes, it resets resets all the other pages on the site to the default class values. How am I able to use editable classes and Library Items to achieve this kind of functionality? The idea is to only have ONE navigaton bar to update on the site and to only have ONE sidebar item to update. Here is an example of the sidebar and navigation in action so you can see what I'm going for. Notice the green button in the navigation bar (that is a list item with the class "active" which is an editable class in the Library Item, also notice the tan links in the sidebar, that is an unordered list that has an editable class of "active" in the Library Items --- these editable classes reset to their defaults when updating the Library Item on the website).
http://www.brumleve.org/joe/temp/CAP/mission.html

In my understanding, whenever you edit the contents of a library item, it will update all other occurances of this library item on the rest of the site. That's "working as designed" as far as I know, unless you break the link by telling it to not update - which kinda defeats the purpose I think.
But theres another way to do this using template properties, i#ve been using this approach myself a couple of times:
Write your navigation bar in the template (.dwt) file itself, then select the class= of your first menu item and choose .. (names might be off, I am using a non-English copy of DW): "modify > template > make attribute editable" from the main menu. Do so for all your menu items and name these new template properties something like "item_x_class"
You'll end up with something like this in your template source:
<div class="@@(item_1_class)@@">
and a matching
 in the header
Now, on each page, you can set the class within the template properties dialog ("modify > template properties"). If your main menu changes, it won't overwrite your template properties, but still update all pages when you do make a change to the menu.
If you're using multiple templates for your site, consider nesting templates, so the master template already includes your navbar and all subsequent templates will "inherit" changes to the navbar code (sans the editable class property).
Hope this helps.. or at least gives you an idea for further experiments..

When saving library item, only OPEN pages updating (closed pages not updating)

When I save my library item it only updates the pages that are OPEN and not the ones that are closed. It starts the update process then stops after updating the open pages and never completes the process. I have to click "stop" after a minute or so. Then it prompts me to update the pages again.
How can I get it to update ALL pages associated with the library item?
Here's the library code:

<link href="css/stevens.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<table width="197" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
          <tr>
            <td><a href="buy-wallace-stevens-biography.com"><img src="images/buy-wallace-stevens-biography.gif" alt="Buy Wallace Stevens: A Dual Life as Poet and Insurance Executive" width="197" height="42" border="0" /></a></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td class="menu1"><a class="menulink" href="default.htm">Home</a></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td class="menu1"><a class="menulink" href="praise-for-wallace-stevens-biography.htm">Praise for the Biography</a></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td class="menu1"><a class="menulink" href="buy-wallace-stevens-biography.com">Ordering Info</a></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td class="menu1"><a class="menulink" href="excerpts-from-wallace-stevens-biography.htm">Excerpts</a></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td class="menu1"><a class="menulink" href="wallace-stevens-photos.htm">Photos</a></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td class="menu1"><a class="menulink" href="wallace-stevens-poems.htm">Selected Poems</a></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td class="menu1"><a class="menulink" href="wallace-stevens-reading-his-poetry.htm">Wallace Stevens<br />

          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td class="menu1"><a class="menulink" href="wallace-stevens-and-elizabeth-park.htm">Wallace Stevens <br />
              and              Elizabeth Park</a></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td class="menu1"><a class="menulink" href="wallace-stevens-lecture-by-noted-critic-helen-vendler.htm">Lecture on Stevens by Noted Critic
Helen Vendler</a></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td class="menu1"><a class="menulink" href="about-alison-johnson.htm">About the Author</a></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td class="menu1"><a class="menulink" href="other-works-by-alison-johnson.htm">Other Works by<br />
              Alison Johnson</a></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td class="menu1"><a class="menulink" href="contact-wallace-stevens-biographer.htm">Contact</a></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td height="45" valign="top"> </td>
          </tr>
        </table>

The following lines in the Library item are invalid code

<link href="css/stevens.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<table width="197" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<link href="css/stevens.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> belongs in the <head> section of the HTML page
<table width="197" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> belongs in the <body> section.
Valid code would be

<link href="css/stevens.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
<table width="197" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
But I would expect the Library item to only include the table

Why does my music in library just jump around from song to song when playing? never did that before last update is there a way to turn off shuffle? or is there an option? please help!!

why does music skip around & not play in order in library? since latest update is there a shuffle feature & if so how do i turn it off? thanks for the help!

Hi henry1963,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like your are correct and shuffle is turned on in iTunes. Please use the following article as a reference for turning shuffle off.
iTunes 11 for Mac: Ways to play songs
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12131
You can play music in iTunes in various ways.
Shuffle or repeat songs
Do any of the following:
Turn shuffle on or off: Click the Shuffle button. Shuffle is on when the arrows are blue.
Shuffle albums or groupings: Choose Controls > Turn On Shuffle > “by Albums” (or “by Groupings”). iTunes plays the songs in the order in which they appear on the album or in the grouping, and then chooses another album or grouping at random.
I hope this helps,
-Joe

How do I edit Library Items in Contribute?

I've been attempting to edit a Library Item in Contribute CS5 with no real luck. First in said it could not open the file so I designated "simpleText" and also MSWord as alternate programs to edit the Library with. (I need something that my client has access to on a PC in their office). Contribute allowed me to open, edit and even publish...giving me a notice of "success" but when accessing the actual page online, the changes were not updated.
Adobe Tech support was useless on this issues.
Here is the code for the Library Item:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<style type="text/css">
.newsHeader {
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 18px;
    line-height: 18px;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: #6693b3;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 20px 0px 0px;
.newsbodycopy {    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 12px;
    line-height: 18px;
    color: #666;
    margin-top: 4px;
    margin-bottom: 5px;
</style>
<p class="newsHeader">News header</p>
<p class="newsbodycopy">Update Content on this page.</p>
Any help or suggestions to try would be appreciated. I created the item in Dreamweaver. Code is directly from Dreamweaver. I'm not a coder.
Thanks!

1. In the main menu go to >File>Actions>Edit page source in external application (Dreamweaver)
2. In the Dreamweaver make the necessary modifications.
3. Save the file
4. Return to Contribute and publish the page
