Site folder doesn't exist?

Hello all,
I am running Dreamweaver 8 on Mac OX 10.4.8. I recently went
to open my index file for one of my site folders, but DW gives me
an error message stating that the item was not found. If I go into
Finder, all my files are still there, as well as all my folders for
each site I've created. When I go to open any of my site folders,
it says, " the local root folder does not exist, please select a
new root folder by clicking manage sites..." If I go to Finder and
open any one of the files, they open OK in DW. Why isn't DW
recognizing that the site folders are there? Please help!

> on Mac OX 10.4.8. I recently went to open my index
> file for one of my site folders, but DW gives me an

my first thought is this is likely to be an issue with Hard
drive or folder
names on macintosh that has been an issue with dw on mac
since the start.
to rule this in or out as being the problem- pls do this:
Open a new dw document using File-->New
-->don't save this file<--
Insert an image from this site's local site folder
look in code view, and copy that <img> tag and paste
into your reply.
I'm looking to see what the SRC of that image tag is- it
should show the
complete local path like
src="file:///hdname/Users/~you/folder/folder/folder/file.jpg"
background info:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14452
synopsis- use of some characters in hd name or folder names
can cause dw to
not be able to resolve the path to the local site folder on
mac. Leading
blank space in the HD name, or punctuation in folder names
for example.

Dreamweaver, OS X 10.4, Local folder doesn't exist?

Since getting my brand new MacBook from Amazon a few days
ago, I've been struggling with getting DW (7 and 8) to work with
local folders.
After I Define Sites and enter the info for my local copies
of the site's files, I connect to the server. The Remote view shows
the files on the server, but when I switch back to the Local view,
it says the folder where my files are, doesn't exist.
I can interact fine with the Local files (create, rename)
until I connect to the Remote computer. After I do connect, when I
go back to the Local view, it says the Local folder doesn't exist.
Sometimes when updating the Site it sometimes says "Can't
create local folder" so Im guessing DW isn't able to hold onto the
fact that the Local folder is there somehow.
I've repaired permissions, verified the disk, made sure the
most recent patches are applied on DW (7.01 and 8.02), deleted the
DW prefs for both versions. I've even created a new user on my Mac
and created the new site folder from scratch, but this problem is
happening with all user accounts on this Mac.
Everything was working fine on the old PowerBook before I
used the Migration Utility to automatically bring things over.
Desperately in need of help!

I think that WAS it. Holy Weekend Waster Batman! I spent the
last few days of my life on debugging because of that space
character.
I had found a workaround in that I could use a disk image
that I created on my Mac. That, I guess, worked because of the
filename.
I had thought it was some Permissions thing since the disk
image had totally open permissions. But it seems the space
character was the reason.
Thanks!!!!!

Photos - My Photo Stream Folder doesn't exist in Photos.

In a new photo mediathek the folder my photo stream doesn't exist. In the old one my photo stream works fine.
But I have to delete the first one. Thanks for helping.

Go to the settings in photos and activate in the settings "system photo media library". You can have more the one photo media libraries on your computer, so you must select one as your "system photo media library". After this you will find the folder my photo stream.

Archive folder doesn't exist

I have read and followed everything I can find about archiving data, but the problem is that the location specified in Tools/Account Settings/(account)/Copies and Folders does not appear to exist. The entry in the box is the account name. Is that a problem, and in any case, where are my messages?

Well, I followed the directions for archiving (open folder, select first entry, hold CNTL and shift, select the last one, click Archive button), and expected to find a folder called "SBC" (the account name) with old emails in it. I found... Nothing. Zero. Zip. Nada.
As for pop vs IMAP, neither Tools/Options nor Tools/Account Settings has anything about either one. I told TB that I had SBC, and it worked it all out by itself. There isn't a folder called Global Inbox; the default is just called Inbox. The one in question is one that I set up, not the default.
Did I set up Archive Options? Well, it certainly LOOKS set up. "Keep Message Archives in" is checked, as is "Archive Folders on:" and that dialog box says "SBC". The Archive Options button leads to a form that has "yearly archived folders" selected, and "Keep existing file structure of archived messages" is also checked. It didn't generate any error messages when I ran the archive.
The emails that are missing are every one that I tried to archive. The rest are intact.

Unread email folder doesn't exist on iPhone mail application?

Hi everyone,
I just recently switched over to an iPhone 4 after 6 years with a Blackberry. I have many apple products and was finally able to switch at work. Everything is great except that the way you have to find unread email is very cumbersome. On the BB, all unread mail appeared in the default mail view. On the iPhone, I have to go into the folder view to find emails that I have ruled into other folders on my Microsoft Exchange account which is very cumbersome.
Also, I hear a new email alert but the mail icon doesn't update the unread mail count unless that email comes to my inbox folder. Since I work in IT at my organization and receive many emails, I have them ruled on exchange to many different folders. I have all of those folders pushed to the iPhone but I have to manually look in each folder for the unread mail count next to the folder.
So I guess I'm saying that this is not efficient enough mail for me. Can you do setup an unread mail folder that shows all unread mail regardless of what folder it really is in on the iPhone mail program somehow? If not, can this be submitted as an enhancement as it makes email use very cumbersome. I have found tons of posts about this through google searches. I thought I would make a post to see if we are all missing something simple. If there is a simple setup that I can configure to fix this, please let me know!
Thanks,
Unhappy mail user

No.

Yes. You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

Error Message: Disk Cache folder doesn't exist

I know this has already been asked, but I am aware that I HAVE deleted the disk cache folder by accident, and it is no longer in the recycle bin. Is there anywhere i can go to restore the Disk Cache folder, or redownload it? How does it affect me to work without it? Thanks

Just create a new folder and point to it in the preferences. It's as easy as that.
You could also delete your preferences, re-launch, and everything should be restored.

Notes folder doesn't exist in my computer

hi~ I was wodering if you use
"notes" to read text files on your iPod?
I think this feature is really cool feature that Nano
does not have, but
I can't find Notes folder inside my iPod folder
(according to the manual).
Please help me out! Thank you
P.S.- I'm an XP user.

Try creating the folder. In Windows Explorer, go to File, New, Folder and name the folder Notes. If you put notes in there but they don't show up, do a restore (which will erase all of your data).

Help! My site doesn't exist anymore and the cache won't clear!

Hi there,
I'm a designer and used iWeb to create a portfolio for myself while I was job searching earlier in the year. I hosted it through MobileMe, and coincidentally and luckily managed to get a new job about a week before those hosting services were discontinued, so I never rehosted the site on my own domain. I happened to Google myself a couple of months ago and was horrified to find that my resume page from that site shows up in the search results, with my home address, phone number, etc in the results summary since they were at the top of the resume page on my site. Clicking the obviously says that it doesn't exist. I tried using Google's cache removal tool which supposedly would clear it since the site doesn't exist anymore, but that was about six weeks ago. I just checked, and it's still there - moved up, even, to the third search result! I am going to continue to try to handle this with Google, but is there anything I can do on the iWeb end? I deleted that page from my computer but I'm pretty sure that's irrelevant since the site technically doesn't exist anymore.
Any help would be greatly appreciated - I can't stand having my private information out there like that!
Thanks, Mardie

You asked the same question in december last year.
And you received the same answer.

Apparently it solved the problem.
And you also seem to have zero knowledge of how Google works.
Here's how it works :

Google find page.
Google indexes page.
Everybody embarrassed.

Hi when i open my application folder, all the application is shown in trash folder. when i click the application it says this app is in trash first move it out. and when i try to open through finder go it says this file doesn't exist. can some1 plz help?

hi when i open my application folder, all the application is shown in trash folder. when i click the application it says this app is in trash first move it out. and when i try to open through finder> go it says this file doesn't exist. can some1 plz help? how can i put all my application through application folder?

Something really odd is going on. In your first screen shot, I noticed that the Applications folder does not have the proper icon displayed in the side bar. Also, in the title bar it lists it as Applications 08-59-29-909.
Not sure where it's picking up that odd name, unless it's because it's still truly within the Trash folder.
Try this. In the Finder > Preferences > General > turn on "Always open folders in a new window". (I have a feeling you have the default setting with this off).
Now, in Finder > Go > move down and open the Applications Folder from there. Now open the folder where you see all your applications that you show in your screen shot, select all, and move them to this true appliactions folder.
This is what you should properly seeing (but with different apps listed):
See how the Applications folder has the icon of the letter A shaped with a pencil, ruler & pen.

I am having a hard time with a page that is working for everyone else. When I click on anything in the site I get a message that says "The page you were looking for doesn't exist." This is happening on both my ipad 2 and my iphone 5. I cleared my cache

When I click on anything in the site I get the message " The page you were looking for doesn't exist." This website works for everyone else, but not on my iPad 2 or iPhone 5. I cleared my cache and history on the iPad, but it still isn't working.

I live in Germany and my credit card is in my native country of Holland .. then it
doesn't accept my credit card.
Your first statement explains the second statement. To use the German iTunes Store, you need to prove that you're a resident of Germany (that is required by the content owners who will not allow cross-border sales) and the only way Apple can provide such a verification is by requiring that you enter in either a German credit card or a German-purchased iTunes prepaid card. Since I presume the former is not a possibility, you'll need to do the latter if you wish to purchase content from the iTunes Store. Again, this is not Apple's choice but is forced on them by the content owners as a requirement for Apple being allowed to sell the content. The EU is working on regulations that would force the content owners to allow access pan-EU, but that's still in the works.
You do not need an iTunes Store account to activate and run your iPad, though; at least, I didn't need one for either of my two iPads. If you only want to set up an account so you can get free iPad apps, take a look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is apparently critical. This seems to come and go, or only apply to App Stores in specific countries, so you may not see the option for "None" when asked for a payment type.
As to the German iTunes Store in English, you can comment to Apple on that via their feedback pages:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
Regards.
P.S. Regarding "this is the only place for a complaint and that will no doubt get removed because
I'm not full of happy joy sparkles.
As stated in the terms of use to which we all agreed, this isn't a complaint forum, it's a technical support forum. You don't have to be full of "happy joy sparkles", but posts that are nothing but complaints may indeed be removed. If you want to complain to Apple, use the feedback pages.

This worked...found on a prior discussion:
Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page)...
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
From the link above (near the top of the page)....Under 'download locations' click on 'download@majorgeeks'
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you just downloaded and ran.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Restart your computer.
Re-download Itunes (latest version form Itunes website) and install. It worked!

How can I go to the folder "Library"? It doesn't exist in Lion.

I need the folder "Libary". But in Lion it doesn't exist anymore.
How can i go to this folder?
Please answer

off/topic message to Krag:
you mean search for text inside files?
Perhaps Easyfind.
I'll check it out. Only the clipping name/subject show up in either Spotlight or Tembo... same with Easyfind and Find Any File
Nothing I can find will search inside clippings. Thanks.

Hi roddy,
thanks for responding. I read your link, looked at my settings and they were all correct. I tried to do a republish and got this message: The requested URL /childrenandcaring/index.html was not found on this server.
When I type the address in the address bar, I go to the site and the page says: This is the new site childrenandcaring.com
Any other ideas?

Did you try to build the application (Project->Build in Visual Studio) ? If the error doesn't go away then and you have no other compilation errors (if you do you need to fix these first), you should replace "FolderExplorer" with the namespace
in which the Folder class resides. If you haven't explicitly declared a namespace, you will find the name of the default namespace under Project->Properties->Root namespace. Copy the value from this text box to your XAML:
xmlns:my="clr-namespace:FolderExplorer"
The default namespace is usually the same as the name of the application by default so if your application is called "FolderExplorer" you should be able to build it.
If you cannot make it work then please upload a reproducable sample of your issue to OneDrive and post the link to it here for further help.
Please remember to close your threads by marking helpful posts as answer and then start a new thread if you have a new question.

Album that appears in my Web Gallery that doesn't exist in my iPhoto 08?

I posted an Album then tried to delete it and it's still there. Now I have two Albums with the same name. How can I delete it when I can't even see it in iPhoto? URL: http://gallery.mac.com/rickvargas123#gallery
The Tokyo Album with 82 photos is the one that doesn't exist in my iPhoto. The Tokyo Album 112 photos is the one that does exist and is editable.
Anyone know?
Rick

Rick:
Mount your iDisk and go to the Web/Sites/-gallery folder. See how many folders are located in there. You might have to delete them all via the Finder and republish your galleries again.
By the way, your 112 Tokyo gallery is listed at 101 photos when I visit. Wonderful pictures.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
