Seasonal Time Change Bug crashes Dreamweaver 9 (CS3)- still no fix?

The fact that Adobe has produced a new version of CS3 does not in my opinion give them a reason not to fix the CS3 bug that causes Dreamweaver to crash when any attempt is made to edit the ASP or PHP components of a file.
This bug is caused by daylight time adjustments.
The podge that is recommended by Adobe is to delete the WinFileCache-AD76BB20
While this works, as it happens only every 6 months, it is easy to spend time working out why your existing files all crash the system, but newly created ones do not.
You can find the solution at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402776.html
Bookmark this as it may save you the 4 hours or so that I spent trying to find a solution.
It would cost Adobe nothing to send out an e-mail to all existing owners of CS3 containing this bug fix, and would certainly improve their reputation in many quarters.

well.
it feels bad, after paying money.
not being able to use a software full.
and ADOBE must be ashamed to give such service
(by not updating these softwares which has still lots of unknonw! bugs and also must be ashamed to put a page for unknown bugs. and trying to make customers be their own software engineers instead of the company's hundreths of engineers)
and this, which they do not fix their program is not important or the issue.
it is a sad subject that, they think the people will give money to fix their unusable programs which they already bought.
and to customers who has paid about 1000$ to a software suit are having a bad vision that ADOBE started to work for money instead of customer happiness.
when they understand their
1000$ program has no support at all. no update or fixes at all.
which can not do a simple action
which the simplest editor WORDPAD editor does.

Dynamic drop down list crash dreamweaver CS3

Hi,
I'm having a problem with Dreamweaver CS3.I'm running it with
Vista SP1
I try to create a mysql dynamic dropdown list in AJAX with
this
Tutorial
Once the form is created and when I try to insert the php
code and change the name of the variable , Dreamweaver crash
everytime and close.
I tried also with other tutorial and codes but it crashes
everytime I insert some dynamic dropdown list.
If someone ever encountered this probleme or have any idea
... thanks !!

The Preview function is a development feature to demonstrate the results of merging data (the .xml specificed in Form Properties > Preview > Data File) with the .xdp or .pdf. When you open in the form in Reader or Acrobat the same .xml file is not merged with the form automatically.
To get data into a PDF you have a number of options including:
1) use LiveCycle Forms ES server-side solution to do data merge
2) use a data connection to a database or a Web Service
3) use JavaScript importData() or FormCalc get()
To use options 2) and 3) the form has to be rights-enabled for the respective function to work in Reader.
If you use option 3), you can attach the JavaScript 'xfa.host.importData()' to a button or some other event. When importData() fires it will prompt the user with a file browser to pick the .xml. The importData() method will work if the PDF is rights-enabled, only. Open the PDF in Acrobat Professional, from the toolbar, select 'Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader' and save the PDF.
Note, if you specify the .xml file name in importData(), the PDF must be certified. This is for security purposes.

[BUG?] Dreamweaver CS3 b3481 removes all source

Hello,
Since a few days I noticed that Dreamweaver (CS3 build 3481)
is removing all of my PHP-coded source if I didn't close the
PHP-tag; '
?>'.
This is how I found out;
First I created a new PHP-document and went to the Source of
it. After some typing of HTML and PHP, the document had to be saved
to a file. For example, the document's source is:
quote:
<?="Echoing a foobar!";?><br
/><table><tr><td>foo
bar</td></tr></table><?
More PHP source comes here
... without closing the PHP-tag.
The document will be saved to a file (f.e.: foobar.php). Now,
everything after '</table>' is gone.
How is this possible?
Thanks for any read and respond.

How do I change permissions in Dreamweaver CS3

I am currently uploading a Cgi/Perl Script and need to change
the permissions to 755. How do I do it?
What are permissions?
Cheers!

Connect to the site, find the file in remote view, right
click, and select
permissions from the context menu. It may work....

Time Machine Bug - Indexer Unavailable - Is there a Fix?

Like others who have posted, I to am experiencing the "Indexer unavailable (1) Waiting for index to be ready (100)" bug.
Like others who have posted about this:
*Time Machine worked flawlessly for a long time, but has now become essentially dysfunctional;
*I've tried every proposed fix and combinations of fixes for months now and they don't correct the problem; any apparent correction is very shortlived;
*I've dealt with phone support to no avail;
*Even brought it up when I had the computer in for a hardware issue with no evidence that any attention was paid to the problem.
Has anyone been able to fix this?
Or should I just give up and move to Carbon Copy Clone for all my backups?

Since you don't specify what "every proposed fix" means, and haven't posted anything here before so we could figure it out, see #D2 of [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

Bug in print module still not fixed in LR2.1RC

MacPro 10.5.5 iPF9000 Canon driver 1.30
What I found out is that when going to Print Setup under Color Matching I can choose Vendor Matching and then I can choose CM off in the Driver. If I then hit Print One the print is correct.
If I go to Print under Color Matching I cannot choose Vendor Matching. Both selections are grayed out and Colorsync is shown as checked. Of course I cannot choose CM Off this way. After I have once gone into the Print and then go back to Print Setup I can no longer choose Vendor Matching and have the same grayed out dialog under Color Matching. And off course the print is not correct this way with the double profiling that is going along.
Also it should be noted that selecting the cancel button in the Print Settings dialog brings about this behavior were it defaults to using colorsync and the Color Matching options are grayed out.
Close and restart LR2 and then you can have the Color Matching option back so that you can select CM off in the printer driver. Just do not select Cancel.

These issues (Dark prints, wrong profile handling, color shift, ...) are persisting since 1.3.x!!!!
Only for some! I use LR1/2 for printing all the time, and its great. Near-perfect color matching, incredibly useful printer presets, great resizing, etc, etc. But I use V64 and Epson printers.
Have you reported your particular problem to Adobe Support?

TechNote
Dreamweaver CS3 crashes after Daylight Savings Time ends
Issue
Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 crashes when working with certain PHP
or ASP files in
Code view or Design view after the clock goes back one hour,
when Daylight
Savings Time ends. The crashes only occur when selecting
certain lines in
Code view, or selecting certain objects in Design view. The
crashes only
occur in files that have PHP or ASP code, intermingled with
HTML code. The
crashes do not occur in Dreamweaver 8 or earlier (Ref.
229536).
Reason
The Dreamweaver CS3 WinFileCache-7A9586CB.dat file has been
corrupted by the
time change.
Solution
1. If Dreamweaver is open, quit the application.
2. Delete the WinFileCache-7A9586CB.dat file from the
Dreamweaver user
configuration folder. Note that on Windows, the Application
Data and AppData
folders are hidden by default, so verify that your Windows
Explorer folder
options are set to View Hidden Folders. The location of this
file is as
follows:
* Dreamweaver CS3 on Windows Vista:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver
9\Configuration
* Dreamweaver CS3 on Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application
Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver
9\Configuration
3. Restart Dreamweaver.

Interesting, because on my PC that cache file is only in my
old DW8
folder, while this one is in my DW9 (CS3) folder:
WinFileCache-AD76BB20.dat
What's up with that?

Installed trial Dreamweaver CS6..can't access purchased Dreamweaver CS3

I tried to use both trial Dreamweaver CS6 and purchased Dreamweaver CS3 at the same time. My purchased Dreamweaver CS3 now links to trial CS6 even though the link has not changed. How do I still use (or ever use again) purchased Dreamweaver CS3?

I tried to use both trial Dreamweaver CS6 and purchased Dreamweaver CS3 at the same time.
This is not recommended. Only open ONE version at a time. This goes for all the CS6 products.
You probably just need to point your DW CS3 shortcut back to your CS3 folder.

ICal on iPad no reflecting daylight savings time change correctly

i have my iCal on my iPad to auto update with daylight savings, however, the start times are all ok, but the end times do not reflect the time change. am i missing something?

I fixed this problem by going to system preferences--mail, calendars--and turned off time zone support. When my iPhone didn't change time for daylight savings, i had changed the time manually and apparently this moved my time zone from SF to Anchorage. After disabling time zone support, all my appointments were correct. You can also disable tim zone support withon the iCal application on a mac.

Hello,
what concerns your wish about an uinstaller, so you should use
https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs3-product-downloads.html >>> AND note this "Read before you download a CS3 product". And esp, "You need your CS3 serial number to complete the installation" but this shouldn't be a problem for you, because you had an official version and so you can use all these informations like https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html

Dreamweaver CS3 crashes after Daylight Savings Time ends

In Windows XP x64, Dreamweaver CS3 crashes after
Daylight Savings Time ends. There is a technote that seems to
describe the situation exactly.
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb402776&sliceId=1
However...
1) The technote says this happens only with ASP and PHP code.
I'm using ColdFusion. (That's a minor point.)
2) The technote says...
Delete the WinFileCache-AD76BB20.dat file from the
Dreamweaver user configuration folder. Note that on Windows, the
Application Data and AppData folders are hidden by default, so
verify that your Windows Explorer folder options are set to View
Hidden Folders. The location of this file is as follows:
Dreamweaver CS3 on Windows Vista:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver
9\Configuration
Dreamweaver CS3 on Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application
Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9\Configuration
However, I coudn't find WinFileCache-AD76BB20.dat in
Documents and Settings or in Program Files (86)\Adobe. (The 86 is
because this is a 32-bit program on a 64-bit machine, but all the
rest is the same.) I then searched both directories for *.dat and
there was no file that looked anything like
WinFileCache-AD76BB20.dat.
.Can anybody help me?
Thanks!

Alan, thanks for the suggestion.
I did the search found the file, deleted it, opened
Dreamweaver CS3, selected the same text -- and it crashed as
before.
THEN I REBOOTED and tried again - NO CRASH. So it seems that
a reboot is an essential part of the fix.
BTW: My situation fit the Technote description exactly. (1)
The crash happened when selecting -- in design or code view --
certain text in a context of HTML intermingled with ColdFusion
code; (2) I had no problem with these files before Daylight Savings
ended; (3) even after that I had no problem with them in Macromedia
Dreamweaver 8 on another machine -- the problem was only on CS3.
So the Technote is correct as far as it goes, but should be
amended as follows:
1) ColdFusion should be included in the types of code that
can be associated with the problem.
2) Instead of deleting WinFileCache-AD76BB20.dat, one should
delete WinFileCache-[whatever].dat.
3) A reboot after the deletion may be required.
Anyway, problem solved.
Thank you!

I am trying to reinstall Dreamweaver CS3 from the CD after having computer issues. Now getting error "You can only install one Adobe product at a time. Please complete the other installation before attempting to install ......." There is no other Adobe product installing. I have used the Adobe Cleaner Tool many times and uninstalled other Adobe Products but neither has worked. I have uninstalled/reinstalled this CD version of Dreamweaver several times when changing computers and after having computer issues. A google search of the problem suggested it may be an error related to the number of times I can reinstall this product due to licensing issues. Please help.

Absolutely not. You are misinterpreting things. The activation check never happens when just running the installer, only much later. It means what it says - there is another "install" pending/ active on your system, meaning somewhere there is an (invisible) process still blocking things. Either way, since you haven't provided any real technical info, we can't advise specifically. if you are on Windows, you may want to check your task manager and terminate any setup.exe and msiexec.exe processes plus potentially may need to manually fix/ delete some registry keys. For anything beyond that you will have to be much more specific.

Dreamweaver CS3 Crashes At Startup

I installed the CS3 web premium suite and all the programs
worked great, including Dreamweaver. After rebooting the PC the
next morning, Dreamweaver CS3 would not launch anymore. I
reinstalled DW but still the same problem. Startup gets as far as
reading the site cache and then totally disappears. I've tried
renaming/deleting the Configuration and the registry key
(HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9), and the DW8 site
caches. The other CS3 programs work fine.
What now?

I can open Dreamweaver now but I don't think the problem is
solved. Here's what happened:
I took the steps in the article you referenced and some
others, re-started the pc repeatedly with all start-up programs
disabled, and waited in vain for the promised return phone call
from a seemingly diligent guy in Tech Support. When I called Tech
Support the next day, they said that the case number and customer
ID had no reference to this problem so someone would call back. OK,
fine. I'll wait.
I did a "clean update" of ZoneAlarm, remembering that this
had solved some other problems in the past. Later yesterday, I was
cleaning up some experimental website file directories and renamed
a few of them to make more sense of what they were.
When I tried to re-open Dreamweaver later, it paused to tell
me that it could not find the directory for the site referenced in
the site definition and I should go to Manage Sites to fix it.
Since Dreamweaver had crashed repeatedly before reaching this
stage, this was a major victory. The site it was trying to open was
one that I had set up to experiment with some of the new features
in DW CS3 after the initial installation. Fortunately, it was one
that I had renamed earlier yesterday.
The offending directory contained a page with some of the new
Spry widgets (Tabbed Panel and Accordian) and a short slideshow
that I think I made using Bridge.
So, I was able to open the Manage Sites panel and point
Dreamweaver to another site definition. It opened fine and everyone
lived happily ever after.
Unfortunately, the problem is not solved -- just worked
around by coincidence.
Here is some info from the Windows Control Panel's Event
Viewer about the last time that DW crashed: Faulting application
dreamweaver.exe, version 9.0.0.3481, faulting module msvcr80.dll,
version 8.0.50727.163, fault address 0x000142f1.
Hope ths helps Adobe figure out what is causing this crash.
Now that I can open Dreamweaver CS3 and use it, I'm really
impressed with the upgrade.

Using Spry how to stop Dreamweaver CS3 from Changing Code

Hi
I am using Dreamweaver CS3 to build/maintain a website www.ghoter.net. I started using Spry to insert data from an xml file as I need the data in the xml file to show up on several different pages, includeing the home page. The data in the xml file changes from time to time. This is working wery well. But I am having a problem with Dreamweaver automaticly changing a line of code in the html files every time I make a change to the html file. The line of code that is being changed is in the head of the program.
This is the line of code that is being changed: The xml's name is data-3.xml The date from the xml file goes at the top of the left collumn.
The good code is: var ds1 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("data-3.xml", "customers/customer",{distinctOnLoad:true});
The above line of code is automaticly being changed to this below, which does not work:
var ds1 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("data-3.xml", "customers/customer",<MM:BeginLock translatorClass="MM_SPRY" type="MM_SPRY_DATA_REFERENCE" orig="{distinctOnLoad:true}" ><MM_DYNAMIC_CONTENT DYNAMICDATA=1><MM:DECORATION HILITECOLOR="Dyn Untranslated Color">{distinctOnLoad:true}</MM:DECORATION></MM_DYNAMIC_CONTENT></script><MM:EndLock>);
I can replace the bad line of code with the good code just befor saving the html file and the good line of code will be saved with the file and the web page works as it should.
Any help would be appricated. Thanks
Jack Burn

Hi Jack,
I think (not sure though) that the Library Item is causing the problem. I never use the Library Item because server side includes are far more efficient and need less maintenance.
Have a look here http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/sprymenu/ssi.php
If you have PHP serverside scripting language, use DW to add serverside includes using PHP.
Getting back to your original problem, try without the Library Item and see if DW still changes the code.
I hope this helps.
