Mac: How to force Dw to store site (locally) where I want it?

I am new to Dw CS5. I run a Mac mini, small internal HD. I store ALL my data and files on a large RAID 0 external Firewire HD. Dw CS5 seems to insist on storing a new site on the internal HD, While I accept that storing the site on my internal HD would work, I find it inconvenient having data on the internal drive for several reasons.
I have tried to force Dw to store the new dreamweaver site folder in my chosen folder "Web Sites" on my external drive but it complains that " The Spry assets folder is not inside this site. Please select a valid folder in your local site root."
Perhaps I am missing something here but I can't see why I can't have the local data on an external drive in a folder of my choice.
Any suggestions and comments please.
I used Dw3 years ago but this is a different beast!

Well, you already have created content before defining a site. You have created a page. That's fine.
Make sure it is sitting in a folder. If it is not already in a folder with nothing but site files in it, make a folder on your Firewire drive and put your file(s) into it.
Then, when you define the site, make that your local root folder in the site definition.
I know what you mean...the beginning seems pretty confusing. But it's pretty simple.
You need to have a folder that will contain all of your site files. Any site files you have created before actually defining the site need to go into it.
That root folder is the "universe" that will be uploaded to your server eventually, and maintained locally on your Firewire drive. When you place images on your pages, you will put copies of them into, for instance, an "images" folder in your site while linking them to your pages. Dreamweaver will do a great job of keeping track of where files are within that universe.
A second folder...outside the root folder...that I find useful is one I call "working," where I store my original content files that I have collected for the site...images that may or may not have been optimized yet, text content, and so forth. I don't keep them inside my site root folder because they will not be on the web, but I like to keep them handy.
Because I have more than one client, I will put both the site root folder and the working folder into a client folder, to keep my client material organized. But that is my system. Except for the need for a root folder for your site, you will develop your own system of organizing your materials.
To be a little more clear, here is the organization I am describing:
Computer
Firewire drive
     Client A's folder
          Site folder
               images folder
               pages
          "Working" folder
     Client B's folder
          Site folder
               images folder
               pages
          "Working" folder
etc.
I think you'll do fine with the software...I know you're eager to get on to working on the site!

How to return a profile in Game Center. where you want to enter the old nikneim?

How to return a profile in Game Center. where you want to enter the old nikneim?

It's not actually round. It is slight flattened vertically.
Anyway...
I have an Action that places guides at 50% (50pc) vertically and horizontally to give me the exact center of an image file, or you place them manually with View > New Guide.
After doing that I would place the circular select from that center point using Shift and Alt (Opt) and get it more or less where I wanted it. Then change the selection into a work path.
You can use Free Transform to reshape and position that work path by selecting it in the Paths panel.
Then place your text, and if you still need to fine tune, use Free Transform again, but on the Type layer.
You could also use Free Transform to reshape the BG graphic to make it round.

How to force write-behind store on cache node shutdown?

Hi,
I built a small pilot project based on Coherence and now I test it for failover. I found replication issues with Distributed cache in the following scenario:
- start cache node 1 (JVM instance 1);
- connect Extend client to it and get 1 object from cache (only 1 object in the cache - loaded by CacheStore from DB);
- change the object and put it back (I use EntryProcessor for this);
- start cache node 2 (JVM instance 2);
- stop cache instance 1 (write-behind store wasn't invoked yet: write-delay = 2m);
- load/change the same object on node 2; all changes done on node 1 are lost.
My expectation was that cache will replicate its data between nodes when new member joins cache cluster. The backup count = 1 by default, right?
What should I do in order to prevent such behavior? Is it possible to force write-behind store on cache node shutdown event?
Thanks, Denis.

How do i insert image and place it where i want to in the pdf

hi
i have converted a word to pdf.Now i have my text on the left and i have a image to be inserted on to the right. when i do insert the image just gets inserted in the center or on the top.

Bill is correct that you have probably the most control by placing your image on a button. However if you have Acrobat Professional you can use the Touch-up Object Tool to place a graphic. Simply choose the Touch-up Object Tool i.e. Tools > Advanced Editing > Touch-up Object Tool and then right-click in the area you want to put your image and choose Place Image from the context menu. If it is not in the exact place you should be able to move it around with the tool as well.
Best of Luck!

You copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The iphone is not a backup/storage device.

How do I force Safari to remember site logins/passwords?

Hi.
I'm using a new Mini running Mountain Lion and Safari 6.0.5. I installed the computer fresh, rather than migrating from my old computer (2007 Mini), as I was dragging a lot of dead weight in settings, preferences, and cache. Safari DID acquire my bookmarks from the cloud on first use.
I am frustrated that some of my registered websites/passwords have not been saved; they are not listed in the preferences. Is there any way to force Safari to store the sites? Is it possible to migrate ONLY those settings from my old computer?

Just in case there any outdated keychains ..
Open Keychain Access located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select Passwords on the left.
Type in the name of the sites you want Safari to remember passwords for then delete the current keychain for each one.
Back to Safari. Navigate to a site you deleted the old keychain for.
Login with your username and password. Click Yes when prompted to save that data to a new keychain.
To make sure Safari syncs Bookmarks with iCloud, open System Preferences > iCloud
Make sure Safari is selected.

HT4007 Already have Aperture 3 license, how do I install it on another Mac without rebuying it from App store?

Already have Aperture 3 license, how do I install it on another Mac without rebuying it from App store?

As you can see from all the replies to your question if you are not clear in describing the situation it is very difficult to try and help you.
So first how did you originally purchase Aperture? App Store, DVD or Unlocked Trial version.
If you purchased it from the App store if you log into the App Store with the same Apple ID you used to purchase Aperture then you will be able to install it on other systems besides the one you originally installed it on. Even though the button says Purchase you will not be charged again as lolongnd as this is the same Apple ID you used the first time.
If you installed from DVD or Trail unlock post back.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
That's a problem that all users of a second-hand Mac released after the OS X Lion launch have. OS X, iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand are registered to the Apple ID the first owner used to register the computer, so you can't use them legally without repurchasing them. Furthermore, there's a bigger problem: you have to get iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand on a DVD, because the App Store makes impossible to purchase these applications on a second-hand Mac.
Nothing will happen if they are already installed, but you won't be able to reinstall and update them, so I recommend you to delete them and buy iLife '11 on a DVD to install the applications from there. Also, take note that you can't also reinstall OS X, so if OS X gets damaged, you will have to take your computer to an Apple Store.
Open  > About this Mac, and tell us the OS X version you have. If you are using OS X Lion, you can upgrade to Mountain Lion with your Apple ID, so then you will be able to reinstall OS X

I recently downloaded the iTunes 11.0.5 for Mac OS X and the iTunes store comes up as a blank page. I have already tried re-downloading iTunes and that didn't work... How can I get it to work?

I recently downloaded the iTunes 11.0.5 for Mac OS X and the iTunes store comes up as a blank page. I have already tried re-downloading iTunes and that didn't work... How can I get it to work?

I was able to fix mine. I went to software update and updated a few things. I did not update everything, but only what I thought were the essentials, which I believe was Safari, a security update, and a firmware update.
Then I deleted and reinstalled Itunes yet another time. Now the itunes store is back up again.

Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
