Sites (in manage sites) missing AND folder unreadable?

All right, so I finally had the dreaded disappearance of all my sites in the "Manage Sites" section of Dreamweaver (CS4/Mac). I've read the notices and see now that it's a bug that's never going to be fixed . . . and, of course, I didn't back up the .ste file 'cause I just didn't see it coming.
That said, I went to start redoing the sites and started by opening the "Files/Assets" window in DW . . . then ran into a strange problem.
All our web sites are stored in the "WEB SITES" folder in the "GRAPHICS" folder on our "BIG HARD DRIVE."
However, when I went to open up some pages in our stored sites, the "GRAPHICS" folder, in the Dreamweaver menu, doesn't show up as a Folder . . it's shows up as a 0k file. I can go to "file open" and navigate to the GRAPHICS folder, no problem . . .and all the files are there and open up. However, I can't access it through the manage sites part of the "files" window.
Is this making sense? I've attached a screen capture . . .
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm pretty sure that they are all lost if you hadn't backed
up all sites
previously.....
it's all kept in the registry somewhere, but difficult to
retrieve I
believe.
You may find this tool very useful from now on -
Backup everything using the MM Exporter:

Lost all sites in manage sites

My computer just crashed and I lost all my sites in manage sites. Are they saved any where in TEMP files that I can just restore?

Hi，
I think you can start your computer and long press F8 or other keys (depends on the PC model) to enter the BIOS, set the boot option, make the PC boot from CD\ROM Drive, then customize the installation, resize the partition, you can refer
to this video.

All sites in "Manage Sites" are gone

I just logged onto DW this morning, and attempted to pull up a site when I noticed that all of my sites were missing...as though I had installed DW for the first time ever. WTF? Is there a way to retrive them, or do I need to recreate each one again?
This upgrade has been terrible so far.
Any ideas on why or how to get the list back?
Thx,
Jake

This upgrade has been terrible so far.
Which upgrade? Were the sites there at first? Have you tried restarting your system? Did you by any chance EXPORT your site definitions to protect yourself from this? What platform are you on - PC or Mac? How many sites are we talking about here?

Dreamweaver CS6 Hangs Upon Exiting "Manage Sites"

Anytime I edit an existing site or add a new site under "Manage Sites" and click "Done", Dreamweaver will hang with the spinning beach ball for 5-6 minutes. During that time the app is unusable. A pretty bad bug. After the hang time, the app works fine.
Help?

I have the same problem.
Windows 7 x64, 12GB Ram, Dual Xeon 2.66 processors (12 threads)
Dreamweaver CS6 v12 build 5808.
It will freeze for 3-4 minutes and it is unusable. Then it works as normal. Seems to freeze when I open a file, save or switch between files in the app.
I tried to Disable Dreamweaver's Resolve To IP Address feature:

Sites gone from site list in DW8

Hey All-
So, I did some searching on the issue, there seem to be a lot of people with similar issues throughout the years, but as far as I can tell, no real solutions provided.
The issue I am having is that everytime I Launch Dreamweaver 8, all of my sites my Managed Sites list are gone. I am currently running this on Mac OS X using a Trial (trying to see if its worth upgrading from an older versions).
So, I have a couple of questions on this issue:
1. Might the issue be related to the fact that I'm using the Trial version (I couldn't find any mention of this in the Trial info)?
2. Has anyone found a solution to this issue (I don't consider the Export / Import option a "proper" solution)?
3. Is Adobe even aware of this issue?
I have used many versions of Dreamweaver throughout the years and I have never encountered an issue like this, and it concerns me a little as to what other issues I may encounter with this tool.
Any help or feedback is greatly appreciated.

If you still have Dreamweaver 7 (MX 2004) installed, then Dreamweaver 8 should migrate the Site definitions forward. It doesn't matter if it's a trial or not.
If that's not working, I suggest shutting down DW8, deleting the General Preferences and User Configuration folder. This re-trigger the Site migration code the next time you start DW8.
If that doesn't work, then the Export / Import option is the best solution. And it's always a good idea to have backup copies of your Site defintions.

My Default Website Folder & Manage Sites info Not Appearing

The pop up box on the right with the Files, Assets, and Snippets has somehow changed my default "AAA_WebSite" folder under the Files tab to show "Computer." I can still drill down to the correct folder, but since it's not set to the correct folder, all my "Manage Sites" info is missing as well.
Any thoughts?

If you're referring to what I think you're referring to, that's the Site Manager dropdown box where you can quick jump between sites in DW and select which site you want to work on.
Click the box (where it says Computer) and select "AAA_WebSite" from the dropdown menu.
If I've mis-understood, feel free to repost.

Kevin is suggesting that you store the projects you create while working through his book in a folder called RoboHelpProjects. It is not where you have to store every project you ever create.That is for the purposes of his book.
RoboHelp initially defaults to My RoboHelp Projects but it's up to you whether you do. Generally on the forums we advise against that as it is part of your profile and can result in excessively long path names in a few cases. Generally where authors create file names that are so long they almost serve as the content.
Projects always have a root folder, call them Project 1 and Project 2 for this purpose. You can have those folders directly off your C drive (or other local partition) or within in a parent folder as above.
Now to what you can and cannot do. You can delete a whole project by selecting Project 1 or Project 2 in Windows Explorer. Obviously if you delete the parent folder you will delete all your projects within.
What you must not do is delete individual files within a project using Windows Explorer, for that you use RoboHelp's Project Manager. The exception is if you go to Tools > Reports there is a report Unused Files. Files listed there will have to be deleted using Windows Explorer for the very good reason they do not appear in Project Manager and, therefore, cannot be deleted that way.
If you think about it, it is similar to Word. There is no option to delete a document there other than using File > Open and right clicking. Not very intuitive.

Help w/FTP and manage site

I am trying to get to my Comcast personal web site and I am
trying to use Dreamweaver to create the site. When I login to the
site on IE/FireFox useing the FTP address ftp://upload.comcast.net/
I get in OK but in DW 8.0 I go to manage site and enter in all of
the same info I use in IE/Fire Fox or even Front Page and I get
that DW can not connect and the following Error:
AN FTP Error occured. Cannot make a connection to host. The
remote host cannot be found. If I try it on another commercial site
I maintain and I get the same results. Is there a way to check my
DW 8 to confirm it is working correctly?

Please go to SITES | Manage Sites..., select the site name,
and click on
Edit. Click on the Advanced tab at the top. Tell me the
following -
Under LOCAL INFO
The contents of "Local root folder:"
Under REMOTE INFO
What happens when you press Test?
The contents of "Host directory:"
Thanks!

Moving pages using Manage Site content and structure is corrupting the version history

Hi,
I am using share point 2010 manage site content and structure feature to move pages from one sub site to other. After doing several edits and check ins of a page and if I try to move the page using manage site content and structure , the version history
is corrupted in the destination site (i.e., all the versions are not showing).
Note: Sometimes content is also getting replicated after performing move operation.
Is it a Bug/ Known issue in SharePoint?
Any info on this issue is very helpful to us.
Thanks in advance!!

I have lost track of the number of websites which do not work properly on my iPad. They include retail sites, billing sites and most important of all job application sites. They all seem to require Adobe Flash Player which cannot be downloaded onto an iPad. Skyfire does not solve the problem. They all load without vital parts of the site such as tabs, links and correct formatting. Any suggestions?

Most such brower/service combinations have a difficult time working with Flash-based apps and often fail completely. Flash videos are usually the most successful content these browers can handle. You can try the others apps - Puffin, iSwifter, etc - but you may find that none of them work, in which case you will not be able to use your iPad with these sites other than by using one of the various remote control solutions to take over a computer running the full Flash Player.
IMHO, any developer that built a Flash application for a billing or job application site was an idiot, but I know that's out of the control of anyone but the relevant company.

Enterprise mode site list manager and document mode

Hello,
I'm just wondering, if I select IE5 doc mode in enterprise mode site list manager, will I have doc mode IE5 running on IE8 high fidelity emulation (enterprise mode) or IE 5 doc mode running on IE11 ?
Regards,
Michel

Hi Michel,
It should be IE 5 document mode on IE 11.
As you could see from the enterprise mode site list manager, the listed choice is:
If you select Enterprise Mode, it should be IE8 high fidelity emulation only, the manager won't let you choose the document mode under enterprise mode.

Managing Sites In DW CS3

I some how changed my settings and my local files address is
now preceded by ftp:// . I use to be able to see files in expanded
form for both Local and Remote files. How do I change back to what
I had before? My site's home page is now all messed up since some
of the links have been changed.

Since you use standard
http:// protocol, and since your online site can
be viewed properly, you are likely well-positioned for a full
recovery.
STEP ONE: If, as you have suggested, your local and remote
Dreamweaver folders appear identical, then everything that you have
online is likely also on your local hard disk. Just in case it is
not, you should back up your local folder before taking any further
action. Move it to a safe place and even change its name so as to
avoid confusion.
STEP TWO: After having backed up your local folder, delete
your site from your Manage Sites menu. This will destroy
Dreamweaver's record of your online site, so that you can start
over.
STEP THREE: Return to the Manage Sites Menu and click on New.
Make sure that you select Site and not FTP/RDS.
STEP FOUR: If you can understand the Advanced tab, use it to
create your new site. Otherwise, use the Basic tab and begin from
scratch. In either case download what is online back into your
computer, so as to be sure that everything on you computer is as it
appears online.
STEP FIVE: If there is anything missing in your newly created
local folder, then you can recover it by copying from the folder
that you backed up. Copy only content -- HTML, JPEG, and the like.
It is probably best not to copy anything created by Dreamweaver, as
you do not appear sufficiently familiar with the application to
know what could hurt or harm you.
