Lost ability to save files within site

I'm working on a website for my company. Everything's been
going smoothly until today, and I'm not sure what I did wrong, but
I'm hoping someone can tell me how to fix it. I'll try my best to
give the information that will be needed.
First of all, my problem is, for some reason, I can no longer
save a file to the site root. More importantly, it's the home page.
I was working on it, and when I clicked Save, nothing happened. I
tried "Save As" and still nothing. I decided to restart the
program, assuming I'd have to redo the steps I'd just taken,
however upon reopening dreamweaver, the file was GONE.
I've tried exporting the origional file from Fireworks, but
as soon as I make any changes to it in Dreamweaver, I have the same
problem as I mentioned above.
Other important information could be: I was publishing the
site to a local folder.. and I had that local folder attached to a
test server. I started to have problems with the test server, so I
closed the connection. While trying to repair that problem, I
renamed the local folder that I had been publishing to. In Manage
Sites I selected "None" instead of "Local or Network folder" so
that the site would be local only.
So I'm pretty sure I screwed it up while messing with the
test server/ local folder, but since none of that is hooked up
anymore, shouldn't it work now?
Please, somebody help me before I tear my hair out? Please?
Thanks!!!!!!
Alexis

Why not start by defining your site on your local machine,
develop it
locally, then transfer it to the network machine/server when
done? Save all
the hassle?

  • Does the ipad backup save files within an app?

    I have lots of pdf files within adobe reader on my iPad. Now, if I do a backup of my iPad on my PC...
    Are these files saved on my PC?
    Are these files accessible from my PC in case i lose my iPad?
    In case I lose my iPad and restore it to a new iPad will my files be restored along with the apps (e.g. pdf files within adobe)?

    App data is contained in an iPad backup.
    There are some PC programs which can extract data from an unencrypted iPad backup file if necessary.
    App data will be restored to a new iPad.

  • Extended rights gets lost if user saves file w diffrent filename Why?

    I have a question related to extended rights.
    Background: I have a editable form field pdf file that I enable "extended rights" (acrobat 9 pro).
    So that my users can fill in the form fields and save it and update the file later and then return the file (with the acrobat reader).
    It seems like that when the users save the file (with a new/different file name) then the form fields are locked for editing after that the form is useless(not editable).
    Is this a bug or is there a good reason or a workaround for this?
    Best regards

  • Student lost ability to audition loops within the loop browser

    Colleagues,
    My students were composing songs using GarageBand 3.0.4 in our Mac Lab.
    Two of my students showed me that, after they'd laid down three or four tracks by dragging loops into the main window, they could no longer get loops to play inside the loop browser. They would click on a loop, and nothing would happen.
    The loop would play once it was clicked and dragged into the window, but it would not play from inside the loop browser.
    Does anyone have any idea what my students might have done that could cause them to be unable to audition loops from within the loop browser?
    Thanks in advance for any insight you might be able to provide.

    Just drop them on the Loop Browser and the rest should be taken care of.

  • Lost ability to drag files into InDesign from Bridge

    Hi,
    I posted this in the Bridge section also as I'm not really sure on which end the problem is.
    All of a sudden I cannot drag files from Bridge into  InDesign CS4 anymore. It still works in Photoshop and Illustrator but not  InDesign. I cannot figure out what happened. Yesterday it worked and today it does not. Does anyone know what the  problem could be?
    I just did a test and if I try and drag from Bridge CS4 into InDesign CS3 it works. So the Problems seems to be only with InDesign CS4.
    Thanks.

    I called Adobe b/c this was driving me crazy. With  the program closed I had to hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt - then start the  program and delete the preferences. That fixed this issue.

  • How to restrict the ability to save a PDF file in Acrobat.

    Hello ! This is my first topic, evaluating to acquire Acrobat Professional 8, and I am asked if possible to restrict the ability to save a pdf file, when users are reading the file with Acrobat Reader. We are into creating a in-house document accessible to all users internally, using Acrobat Reader. I was able to restrict the printing, but I am unable to restict the saving of the file.
    Any one knows if this possible ? or not?
    Users are using Windows XP/2k
    Thanks

    Once they open it on their machine, they have a copy on that machine. They can simply move that copy to where ever they desire, making copies as they go. You can restrict copying content (though not full proof), printing, and changing the document, but not the physical file itself. Be careful with security and the assumption it fixes all your issues. PDF security is not all that secure. If you need higher levels of security, they you have to use the DRM (I think that is it) at a pretty cost.

  • I lost the ability to order and hide site columns if i use custom content type with a custom Create Form

    I have a team site collection and I want to add a new App of type Issue Tracking list. so I did the following:-
    From the site collection I created a new App of type issue tracking.
    Then from the site collection I created a new Content type named “CustomIssue” which has its parent as “Issue” content type.
    I went to the Issue tracking list and I changed the default content type from Issue , to the new “CustomeIssue” content type.
    I open the site collection using SP designer and I created a new Create form for my Issue tracking list based on the "CustomIssue" content type and I select to have the Create form as the default form when creating an item.
    Everything till this point worked well. But when I open the “customIssue” content type , and I re-order the columns and I hide some columns, this was not reflected inside the custom Create form …
    although when using the default content type and the default create form you can control the order of the fields and to specify if certain fields hold be hidden inside the Create form.. so can anyone advice on this please?

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you lost the ability to order and hide site columns if i use custom content type with a custom Create Form.
    I try to reproduce the issue, the result is the same as yours.
    As a workaround, if I modify the custom content type form the site setting, and then change the NewForm as the default form, it will change the column orders.
    However, if I use the new created form as the default form, it will remain the original orders.
    I recommend that you modify the custom content type form the site setting, and then reset the NewForm as the default form.
    The result is as below:

    ok thanks for the explanation ,, but what if i want to change the order and hidde some fields in the future ,, do i have to chnage the defualt create form again ...

  • Since upgrading to Lion, i am unable to take screen shots.  i get the message that i don't have permission to save files to the place where SSs are saved.  how can i regain the ability to save screen shots?  thanks

    since upgrading to Lion, i am unable to take screen shots.  i get the message that i don't have permission to save files to the place where SSs are saved.  how can i regain the ability to save screen shots?  thanks

    First of all, are you using the OS native screen capture?
    If not, make sure the application you're using has been update for Lion.  I was using Snapz Pro for years, but I need to update it for use with Lion. Meanwhile Grab and the keyboard shortcuts are working on my Lion load.
    If you are using the native capture mode unsuccessfully, I would run the Disk Utility and repair permissions on the drive. For some reason, even in past OS Versions, routine maintenance of permissions makes life a lot easier.

    i lost a .docx word file , then i found it as a .asd file in the office recovery folder , but i cannot save it as a docx, when i save as a docx file or any other format i cannot find it in the destination folder

    No, I already tried looking at that. The file that recovered was not in the trash, it appeared in my documents folder. I opened it up and inside was an iText Express document with coding. Then inside of there, was and then and this "SoftwareMap" document contained a bunch of coding and symbols and words.

  • Cannot view PDF files within Safari 6.0.1

    I have lost the ability to view PDF files within the safari web browser.  When I press on a link to a PDF file a blank/black screen will appear.  If I right click on the page I have the ability to Save the PDF file and then I can open it in preview. 
    I also have AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin installed in ~Library/Internet Plug ins/ ... folder. 
    I have tried deleting these files and restarting Safari but nothing seems to be working. I have tried installing the PDF Browser plugin form Schubert to no avail
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how can I get the ability to view PDF files in Safari using Moutain Lios OSX?

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Batch code for running a find/replace all on multiple files within a source floder/directory

    What I need is a Batch source code that will open all files in a folder/directory and run a find and replace_all query within them and then save all the files.  The files were created in Illustrator and saved using the Scene7 FXG format extension.    These files will be uploaded into Scene7 as a group after the find and replace macro/query is run on the code.  The same find and replace query will be the same for all the files.  Basically this function or batch process  will save time in setting the same parameters all at one time instead of having to set the parameters individually in scene7.
    a source code sample of the find/replace module macro might be              searchString:  s7:colorvalue="#FFFFFFFF" 
                                                                                                                          replaceString: s7:colorValue="#&txtclr;"
                                                                                                                          searchWhat   "FXG document"    
                                                                                                                             searchSource:  true,
                                                                                                                        useRegularExpressions:   true
    I have no problems creating batch files within Ai and PhotoShop but I have limited programming skills in how to create source code for manuipulating documents outside of those apps or in a OS invironment.
    I could probably come up witha simple program to do what i want for one document but i get lost when dealing with multiple documents in a source folder (prolbem is,  I will be dealing with thousands of documents not 100 or less)

  • Is my website really lost? All the files are in my .Mac account but what?!

    I have read several of the threads on the topic and have become quite disillusioned by the thought of having to start from scratch again. HELP!
    I originally created my personal website, web.mac.com/username (I've moved the files to a different directory), several months back and had been using the previous edition of iWeb for its creation and maintenance. Since then my former computer, a MacBook, experienced a head crash that left me only with a backup that had been done 3 months prior. Since then, as I have inched my way through updating all of my work files, I have held of on doing anything with my website. I now want to edit it and with the upgrade (10/25/07) to a MacBook Pro and the new iWeb '08, I get that sinking feeling that this isn't going to end well.
    My first issue (concern) has to do with how little conclusive and specific information is provided when it comes to the difference between a HomePage site and your other pages, namely when one has created their personal site using the web.mac.com avenue. Why is this process so ridiculously complicated? It really need not be and I wish someone took note of that.
    As an avid user of MS FrontPage I was a little leery of using iWeb but was turned on by its ease of use and professional appearing pages and capabilities. However, after having invested all the time in making and publishing the site I am now concerned with the discussion and the seeming reality that I will have to start from scratch. All my files are sitting in my .mac account (I must admit in several locations as I got a bit zealous with ensuring that all the files were there in virtual triplicate) and yet from what I understand there is no way to get iWeb to point to those files so that you can simply begin the editing process again. Is that correct? When I go looking for 'Domain' files or anything of the sort that have been mentioned in discussions on and off this forum, I just don't see it. Is there no way to simply hop back on the train and edit my site again instead of starting from scratch? I'm just annoyed at opening iWeb only to see 'Site' and no other files! If there is a way that someone can share with me how to not have to redo everything, I am not against paying for the 'secret' as I think that the inability to simply 'import' or do anything that seems reasonable here is a bit frustrating. Can you begin again without starting from scratch?
    I suppose if I am told that I can't then I will certainly have to turn my back on iWeb as even though MS FrontPage is not the best WYSIWYG, I can at least do directory management and things with manual code that iWeb has yet to incorporate (I do use iWeb Enhancer on my iWeb site to overcome this annoyance). I really need assistance as I would like to edit my website for the first time in over 4 months and as I said before will bail on iWeb if I have to start from scratch. Anyone willing to assist me, I again would be very appreciative. If there is a way, just let me know, I'm savvy enough with these types of things for the consultation process to take very little time at all.
    HELP!!!

    To say that "everyone says" is a bit like saying "just because." iWeb doesn't instruct, prompt, or even suggest you make a copy of your Domain file. I'm not sure if that policy has changed in the past few months since I last used the program. However, if this file is so important wouldn't one think that it would also be available on the server with all the other files one uploads or backs up to iDisk?! And so for the user of the program to 'not know' or 'know because everyone says' to make a copy of the Domain file is a bit confusing. Again, as I am often careful with website files, that was also the reason why I had made so many copies of the files within the website. I liked using iWeb (and again hope to in the very near future) but because of the limitations I mentioned before, I was only using it to for my personal site. Having used a plethora of other programs I just wanted to be able to keep using iWeb for my own stuff and then as the functionality became available would then use it for others. I should clarify, use it to 'publish' other sites. I'm certainly not going to get into an argument over it and if you'd like to have the last word, that's fine too, I just think that this is a real issue and that if the program worked like others that one could import the files back in, it wouldn't be a problem at all. However, at this present moment I have all the pieces of the puzzle except for the key. I have all the files but am missing a so called Domain file that I didn't even know had existed until this issue reared its head. Again, I'm annoyed at how difficult an otherwise simple issue to address would be. It's almost like saying that I should have known that the hidden 'exe' or 'dmg' file should have been one I thought about when doing any kind of back up and that despite having all the content files, they mean nothing. I will continue to search for the Domain file as I am hopeful that when my IT guy (Network Administrator) backed all my contents prior to the crash, he took every single file and that one should be among them if it is the location as had been previously mentioned. When my Mac crashed, it's as I said, a head crash on the hard drive and so there was no coming back from that. It was truly irreparable as I sent it off to a very reputable data recovery company to save it to no avail. However, I had done a full backup three months prior and am hopeful that the file is somewhere on my work server. If not, as you have pointed out, I'm screwed. And so while I still say that the program is to be blamed for some of its odd idiosyncrasies, I also accept that we'll have to agree to disagree on the issue.
