Moving a folder from one local root folder to another

I've used Dreamweaver CS4 to build my website, and I've become basically familiar with the way it works. Now I'm just starting to build a second site - and I've run into a baffling problem.
I've defined the new site in the normal way, and created the local root folder.
I've got a folder full of image files that is currently sitting in the local root folder of my old site - I'd like to put this into the local root folder of my new site.
This may seem silly, but I can't find a way to move that images folder from one local root folder to the other. I thought it would be a simple drag & drop move, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do this. I've moved the images folder to the desktop, from where it should be easy to drag it over the new local root folder icon in Dreamweaver and drop it in - but it doesn't work.
Am I missing something obvious here...?

You should be able to access your entire computer directory structure through the Files Panel in Dreamweaver.
Click the drop down arrow next to the named site (the open site) at the top of the Files Panel and navigate up into the rest of your computer. You can then Ctrl-C (copy) the folder, re-select the name of your site (the green folders at the bottom of the directories, not in the computer structure), and Ctrl-V (paste) the folder where you want it. Contents will of course come with it.
You could (alternately) just copy and paste it working within the computer's directory structure. Paste it into the new root folder and, in Dreamweaver, refresh the view in the Files Panel. The folder should show up fine.
Notice that I have not been drag and dropping, though that should work with the last-mentioned technique.

HT1589 iMac: How do I move my iTunes folder from one external hard drive to another external drive?

Due to file size reasons, I found myself several years ago with the need to move my iTunes Library from my desktop's internal drive to an external drive [which I also used via partition for a backup of my internal drive] I now have to move to a different external hard drive -- again for more space. I've copied the iTunes Library to the new drive, but can't seem to get iTunes to recognize and run it.
What specifically do I need to do to get this done?

You could plug the WD drive straight into the TC but it will be much faster to do it with the WD drive plugged into the computer.. and just mount the TC hard disk in Finder.
To move itunes library you must follow the Apple instructions.. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1449
You may need to reconnect itunes to the library before you try to move it.. !!

Moving itunes account from one windows user account to another....

Hello! I really hope some one here can help!
I use one of two user accounts on my comp, my boyfriend is the "owner" and I have my own. For separate itunes accounts .... Something is messed up with my profile on this user account and an IT friend told me he thinks that I should just delete my whole profile from the OWNER one and start over, saving anything i need beforehand.
I was about to do that until I realised that my Itunes account would also be gone.
Is there any way that I can transfer my itunes account to another user account on my computer without losing everything and having to start over???
Pllllease & thank you!!!

Well, if all of the music is in My Music\iTunes, then just copy that folder.
If it isn't:
If it's in a shared location, such as the root of the drive, and both account are accessing it, then ignore the music, and transfer just the 'iTunes' folder within My Music.
If it's in an account specific location (like on your desktop), first consolidate it to your My Music, then transfer that folder.

Moving iTunes library from one external hard drive to another, playlists

Here's my question. I keep my iTunes library on an external drive. My 250GB extrernal drive is full, so I'm moving my entire library to a new 500GB hard drive.
What do I have to do so my hundreds of playlists (most mixes with dozens of songs) still function once I've moved the music over?
Do I delete everything from my old drive, then use the 'add to library' function on the entire new drive? If I do that, will iTunes be able to find the tunes in each playlist?
Thanks!

I DON'T MIND DRAGGING THINGS OVER; TH PROBLEM IS, WHEN I TRY TO PLAY PLAYLISTS AFTER MOVING STUFF TO THE NEW DRIVE, EVERY SONG WILL ASK "FILE NOT FOUND--WOULD YOU LIKE TO LOCATE IT?" WITH 50,000 mp3s, it will take forever to rebuild all my playlists. Is there a way to have iTunes search a new drive and recognize the songs as being the same as the ones on the old drive, so you don't have to do this manually?
Also, if I do use the 'consolidate library' approach-- what happens if I drag all my other music folders into my itunes folder manually on the old drive, then try consolidate--will it copy EVERYTHING over to the new drive, or only the stuff that was in the iTunes music folder on the old drive from the beginning (since everything else I used "add to library' but not 'copy to itunes music folder'.
iTunes should have some more built in utility options to allow it to find everything in the library when it moves to a new drive, even if one chooses to keep music in a different format than the 'itunes music folder' approach. .

Local Root Folder

A "frontpage web" folder in hdd has special sign in windows
exporer(and some default files) , well Local Root Folder in
dreamweaver has the same characteristics ? How I understand in
windows exporer that a folder is a Local Root Folder ?

No. Only if you make it have that icon using Windows - DW
doesn't
automatically do this for you.

You organize your sites so that they are in some obvious
containing folder
location on your hard drive - like "websites" or something.

Moving iTunes library from one internal drive to another

tl;dr somewhat - cloned iTunes folder from one non-boot internal to another; changed Media Folder Location in Preferences, both boxes below checked; iTunes still plays music off old location. Help!
First off, I have a Mac Pro in which I have a 1TB drive separate from the boot drive simply to house my iTunes media folder. I have been running out of space on the drive, so I purchased a 2TB drive to move my iTunes media folder to. I had been allowing my iTunes Library files to stay on my boot drive in their default location, but after reading more about how the library files + media folder work, I decided to copy all of the library files to the 1TB drive iTunes folder, to mirror the boot drive's. I used Option + open iTunes and selected the copied library file and everything worked perfectly - I mention this in case this has created the problem I'm now having.
I used the Apple endorsed method of having iTunes do the copying/consolidating of files to the new location on the 2TB drive but it failed - and I know I followed the directions perfectly, I even tried it twice. It copied over ~100k of my 134k songs, and the missing songs weren't just albums that had strange symbols (which I've had issue with before) - it would simply not copy some artists; or copy six of an artist's seven albums. This was not going to be an option for me in terms of how to move my media.
I had wanted from the beginning to use Carbon Copy Cloner (which I use every day and trust) to simply clone the 1TB to the 2TB drive and then change the location in the iTunes preferences. I unchecked 'Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized' and 'Copy files...', then changed the location and clicked OK. I then went back in, checked those two boxes and iTunes started into "Updating iTunes Library", which lasted a few minutes. However, even though the new location is set to the 2TB drive, when I play a song (to make sure it works) and then click to see info, it's still reading it off the 1TB drive.
So I remembered the whole Option + open iTunes thing, did that and selected the iTunes Library.itl file on the 2TB drive - nothing changed. I read some more on various forums about it and thought that maybe I should Option + open iTunes and then select the iTunes folder itself - nothing changed.
So I'm stuck with the media in the right place on the 2TB drive but iTunes still trying to read it off the 1TB, even though the location in Preferences has been set to the 2TB. I feel like I'm just missing something simple here. WHAT DO I DO?! I'm guessing it's not as simple as removing the 1TB, renaming the 2TB and letting iTunes look where the 1TB used to be.

Thank you so much for replying! I'm not sure I quite understand, though. The media folder is in (2TB) /iTunes/iTunes Music/Music currently, cloned from (1TB) /iTunes/iTunes Music/Music. If I copied the /iTunes/ folder from 1TB to the 2TB, I'd be doing the exact same thing as when I cloned it, which I'm willing to do if I'm understanding you correctly.
Or are you asking me to copy all of the files (minus the /iTunes Music/ folder) in the (1TB) /iTunes/ folder and replace all of those files in the (2TB) /iTunes/ folder?

Local Root Folder - One Level To High ???

Hi,
I'm not sure how to explain this, but I will try.
When I choose a new local root folder when managing a new site, and lets say I made the folders in advance - desktop>website>images, and when I then choose my local root folder, I'm selecting the folder website press open and then save/select, but then it only saves as desktop while it should be desktop>website, it's the same when I choose the default images folder, I select the images folder press open and save/select, and same thing, it will choose desktop>website while it should be desktop>website>images.
So to choose the right folder I have to either go one folder extra deep (if any) or write the folder name myself. I have looked around the settings but nothing seems to have anything to do with this, and my searches on Google didn't bring any results, so I hope one of you would be able to help me.
Thanks

PS. I use Dreamweaver CS3, and Vista Home Premium x64

I am also very frustrated! I am running CS4 on Vista and have the same problem.
I am in the process of emailing tech support; so far I have been told to run repair on my system or follow Adobe's tutorial for setting up a root folder. Well... I have already completely re-installed the software (which according to the tech where I work should be better than a repair?)... but I will try that... and I DO know how to set up a root folder so that is not the problem.
I have one other major issue re my CS4... my help files are not there! I am not using upgrade software (which is what I thought could be the problem-as an upgrade may not include some things from the previous edition you have installed on your computer)... Adobe gave me the same suggestion to run repair...
I will respond again if the repair does help.

Error message: local root folder does not exist

Greetings,
I'm working on a MacPro 2x2.66Ghz, running DW from CS2 and
through a strange combination of keyboard keystrokes while cleaning
my keyboard yesterday I inadvertantly renamed my hard drive "-OX"
from it's default. I can't seem to remember what the default name
of my hard drive was, but i think it was simply "Macintosh". I've
renamed it that, but on launching DW for the first time today I got
an error message saying that "The local root folder, web_content,
does not exist" and it gave me the option to manage sites and set
my local root folder again. Is there a way to re-establish my local
root folder for every site that I currently manage in one swipe, or
do I have to go in and manually do this for each and every Site
within my Files panel?
Thanks for your ideas,
Pedro

Actually, it solved one issue but seems to have created
another! So, at least now my Sites are all working okay with
respect to a local root folder. But let's say I open an .html file
by double-clicking it in the Files panel. With that file active if
I choose Preview in Browser I get a "File Not Found" error message
from Firefox.... even though it looks like the path to that file is
correct.
One thing I notice about the path in the address bar of
Firefox is that there are 3 forward-slashes after the file: bit at
the beginning of the line.
For example, the page generating the error has this address:
file:///Macintosh%20HD/Users/peter/Sites/MySite/web_content/index_vertical.html
If you notice carefully there are 3 slashes at the beginning
of the line. If I go to "Manage Sites" I have the settings set to
"links relative to document" and my root folder and images folder
show the proper locations. What have I done?
The error message also says the following in the details
section: Firefox can't find the file at /Macintosh
HD/Users/peter/Sites/MySite/web_content/index_vertical.html.
so there's a forward-slash before the hard drive.... is that
okay?
Thanks for your ideas!

Error: The local root folder, ZZZZZZ, does not exist. Please...

Dreamweaver newest - Cloud
Windows 7 Prof 64b SP1
Everyday now upon firing up Dreamweaver I am getting the same error. As long as I worked on this certain site last the day before, dreamweaver of course tries to load that site upon the next startup.
The error: The local root folder, ZZZZZZ, does not exist. Please choose a new local root folder
I have typed the path myself and browsed to it many times. When I go into the Site manager/edit site to correct this, it already has the correct path listed there. If I just leave what is there and hit save, it doesn't work. Once re entering is done it allows me to work on the site again. Connecting to remote/upload files and everything works fine. I can close DW and reopen and all will be fine, for a while.    If I close it and maybe two hours later come back to work on it, DW will report that same error again on startup.
Other editors of the site with same cloud version of DW and same site settings are not having this error. We've combed for differences.
I've deleted the site definition altogether and recreated it. It does not stop the error.
I found some old references to this issue in the old macromedia forums dealing with Mac and spaces or odd characters being an issue in the local folder path. I'm on windows, but the complaints sounded so similar I decided to try a test suggested there. Their suggestion was to create a new blank html file, without saving, add some text, select the text, use the link icon in the properties manager to drag a link out to any file in the files panel. Upon doing so, DW creates a full local path that you can see in your html since you haven't saved the file yet. The suggestors of this test said you should see if your "mac" and DW was having trouble with spaces or odd characters in the path.   Well the following path shows a PIPE character being created in the path by DW on my test page.
file:///W|/private/09 Websites/zzzzzz/index.html
Could this be showing there is some kind of issue that I need to correct? Or is this typical? See the pipe character being listed after the network drive letter of W
Our local root folder path:
W:\private\09 Websites\zzzzzz\
Server Settings:
     Root Directory:
public_html/zzzzzz.com/
     Web URL:
HypertextTransferProtocolCOLON//worldwideweb.zzzzzz.commercial/
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Is this how your remote setting is defined? If it is, do you have a folder called zzzzz.com on your remote server trailing public_html? Ideally public_html is your website root - index.html resides within that, unless your configuration states otherwise.
To come to your actual question of the local root folder, yes, your file manager wont show files if the connection fails. However, accessing it depends on the permissions you have on your network drive. Have you checked that?
I'm not sure why our guy has another folder underneath public_html. My guess is he has some company related hosted test folders for various things under there. I can see a couple other folders under public_html while checking with filezilla. I suppose he just directed our domain to our web folder under public_html.
Again, two others here are using these exact same settings with no root folder errors from DW. We've checked many times and all is the same for them.
Here are some screen grabs of the settings if this makes it more clear.
This last one showing the remote connection address under the files/assets panel is the one that looks strange to me. It shows a home folder / then a folder with our site name / then public_html / then our sitename.com .    Seems convoluted to me. But it works for everyone else so I'm not sure if this error I'm getting has anything to do with these settings or if there is just some old DW settings file hung up in my system that I need to find and delete or what.
Thanks for any ideas.

How do you move one (1) Photo Folder from one Catalog to another Catalog in Lightroom 5?

I want to move one (1) Photo Folder from one Catalog to another Catalog in Lightroom 5 and my laptop (no external hard drive involved). I have already started the editing process in Catalog #1, but due to the size of the Catalog #1, I want to move the current job and future work to a new Catalog.
Currently the backup feature takes an hour to complete. There are also significant delays during large image edits.    So I am thinking, that by moving over to a smaller Catalog, Lightroom will work faster.

Hello ... and thanks for your response.   But I have discovered a couple problems. And I am sure it is "operator error"
I used your method #1. The first window that popped up stated that it was making a temporary copy of the catalog. This took about 20 minutes.
Next, the window showed thumbnail photos on the right and a list of folders in my catalog on the left. The catalog contains folders stored on my LapTop, as well as my external hard drive.
There appeared to be a distinctive difference between those photo folders stored on the external hard drive and those on my LapTop.   The folders on the external drive were named as I have all my folders named: Date_CustomName. The folders stored on my LapTop were named as: Lightroom_5 Backup_Date_CustomName or some such combination and my memory is foggy on the actual use of underscore, slash marks, dashes, etc.
I searched the list closely, and the Folders without a reference to "Lightroom Backup" were not showing.
So as a test, I "added" to the new Catalog one folder from the external hard drive and two from the LapTop.   After the transfer, the new Catalog had accurately named my external hard drive and the folder within in and the photos and their edits transferred accurately.   The other two folders were not named but listed shown in the library module as grey boxes as images with indications of editing. But when I clicked on it, there was a notation that popped up that the file could not be found.
Any ideas?
I am going to create a second new catalog and try your option #2 now.
Thanks

Problem selecting local root folder in Vista

A friend has run into a Dreamweaver problem I can't find any info about. While defining a site, when he tries to set his local root folder by browsing into and selecting it, the local root folder is set one directory higher than the one he's chosen.
I've searched for info on the issue and can't come up with anything However when asking around I have had a couple additional people report the same issue.
I'm not much of a Windows guy so has anyone else seen this issue/have any suggestions for fixing it?

I have the EXACT same problem. I thought I was crazy - at least I know I'm not alone.
As mentioned, I try to select the folder for my site and it selects the one folder above the previous. Display below shows that issue in DW CS3 part of CS3 Master Collection on Vista Enterprise x86: (-- the arrow is not that good because I'm using school laptop TouchPad)
Display below shows that issue in DW CS4 (by itself) I just installed on my Windows 7 RTM x64Bit:
I probably never came accross the issue before since I use to type out the locations before. Ever since I became "clicky clicky," it's been bugging me.
Do you have any ideas as to what the issue is?

Saving images in local root folder before inserting into website.

I have a completed website and the client has sent me some images and asked me to insert them into the website, but before I do that I know that they have to be saved in the local root folder - what is the easiest way to do this?

If you insert an image on a page in a local site, and if that image is not currently within your local root folder, DW will prompt you to determine if you want to copy that image into your default images folder. In this case you do.
Alternatively, you could just copy the images into any folder within your local root using Explorer/Finder. When you next connect to that site in DW, it will find the images there and you can use them right away.
