Template won't update

I have had this problem for a while and finally opted to post
for an answer.
I updated Dreamweaver from 3.0 to 8... however there is an
old site of mine I want to edit and for some reason I am getting
major errors and it won't update the templates.
I posted one template file here:
www.getouttoday.com/template/About.dwt
The error alert says "THere is an error at line 3, column 24
(absoulte position 85); Missing Name for #Begin Editable
Please advise.

Template won't update in CS5

I've been trying to update a template, but the dialog box won't pop-up and it will not update manually. I've updated the template once before and it worked. I didn't build the website, and am still pretty new to DW. I also get this error: Templates\Templates\menu_vfq7081i2y.php - error occurred - An error occurred - cannot put menu_vfq7081i2y.php. The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
Thanks in advance!

I'm still a little confused. Here is the code for our standard template: standard.dwt. Does this answer your directive questions? Should I be editing the menu in this file rather than the menu.php? MurraySummers

Template won't update in CS3

Hi all
I have been using this template all year, yesterday it wont update any pages using the template. I have not changed the location of the template, have not renamed it, have not changed any editable regions. Done the Site>Advanced>Recreate site cache thing and nothing is working.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is driving me crazy.

Changes to Template Won't Update Corresponding HTML Files

I'm using Dreamweaver CS5 and when I make changes to a template and save, it not longer updates all pages associated with that template. The first time this happened, I deleted the file cache and that took care of the problem. When I tried that again, it didn't work. I also tried deleting the Configuration folder. I'm really hoping to find a fix for this because I have over 3,000 pages that need to be updated. Please help!
Here's the message I should be getting:
"Update Template Files: Update all files based on this template?"
Here's the message that I am getting:
"You have changed a template. Do you want to update all documents in your local site that use this template?"

I am not making changes in the editable region that I expect to be made across the pages - I am making changes to where the editable regions lie within the template. In 99.9% of the cases, the changes were made to the non-editable regions.
Unfortunately, I don't get to control how many pages are managed under one template. I am managing a departent's worth of pages for a university - this includes templates individual to each department division. Some division's have an outrageous number of pages associated with them - mostly for legal purposes. But none of that matters. What matters is that the pages are not updating as they should be. Do you have anything to add about that?

Template won't update child pages

I have a website and my client wanted to add a sentence on all pages. I updated the template, when it asked to "update all" It 'updated successfully'. I haven't had a problem up to this point. It is in a template object so I can't update each page individually.
I had done a couple of things, added a sentence and changed the rollover color on the links. When I open the individual pages the rollover color updated but the sentence is not there.
When I click on the template in the Assets panel, it shows it correctly.
I am using CS5. I have also tried the site>advanced>recreate site cache. I have shut down everything and tried again, still doesn't work.

The website is http://rcottonlawpc.com, in the template (which sows correctly in the assets panel) after the "areas of practice" it is supposed to say "click on your area of need". I had typed that in just before I changed the hover over links to change color, so they would be aged at the same time. The hover links work, but the test doesn't show up on the individual pages in the code, just in the template.

Template "main.dwt" won't update template pages

Hi there,
I'm super new to dreamweaver and I'm having a problem at the minute with the template. I've got my pages, etc, but I need to apply my logo image in the header sector and also an anchor link at the bottom and top of the main content body. So, my biggest problem really is that when I click the line, which highlight's the header, and make it into a "New Editable Region" and name it, like, "banner_image" or whatever and put my banner in there, and then click "Save All"; nothing happens.
I mean, it's worked before but I don't understand why it won't update my other pages into editable regions so I can add the banner to all pages. I would've tried to add it in manually, but stupid me, I realised that the headers weren't editable, still.
And I can't even update anything on the template page, really. I was wondering if there was a solution to this maybe?
I'm using CS4 at college, but I've been coming home at working at it on my laptop (both macs) with CS6.
Please help, I spent around five hours this morning in class pulling out my hair because my div tags were all over the shop. Boo!
Thanks,
Andrew!

Hi Nancy,
Thanks for the quick respones! Honestly, I only used them because we were told to by our lecturer, which now I'm second guessing. Just for clarification, you would use Editable Regions on the child pages (i.e. not the template)? Here's the html

Template pages won't update

Hi,
I am making a website for somebody and for now I am looking
at it in a folder on my site. I am having trouble with the template
pages not updating when I make changes to the template. Would it be
because I have a folder named Template in my site and another one
within the folder where the other site is? If so, how can I fix it?
Thank you,
Charley

Here are six ways to make changes not propagate from Template
to child -
1. Rename the Templates folder
2. Move the Templates folder to some other folder level in
the site other
than root level
3. Move a template out of the Templates folder.
4. Make changes to an editable region of the template (which
will not
propagate)
5. Assume that template changes can be uploaded to the server
without also
uploading the changed local files
6. Corrupt the site cache so that the link between template
and child page
is broken
The latter problem can be repaired by using SITE | Advanced
> Recreate Site
Cache, and the five others can be fixed by just not doing
them. Have you
done any of those?

Placeholder text won't disappear + template doesn't update

Hi,
I'm using the latest iBook author version (2.2) on Yosemite.
I selected a text as a placeholder, but when I type my new text, it doesn't disappear. I've already created many sections using this template and I don't want to recreate them all over...
Also, it seems like the modifications I have made in my template, even though I save them, don't apply, like the template is not updated. I tried to right-click on the template to select "reapply to layout section" but I don't have access to it.
Thanks a lot!

Have you tried to give it a reset? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and see if the badge is still there.

Dreamweaver template won't change images

I am using Dreamweaver 5 on a Macbook Pro and I have been trying to change the Header image in my site. I would go in and change the image using the CSS panel but the image itself will not update. I've tried deleting the old site definitions and recreating them only to have the same problem.
Nothing will change on my template. It won't aknowledge my changed image "i have saved it under the same image name". i've tried changing the name of the image, re-loading it and still THE OLD IMAGE APPEARS!. What the heck is going on? Can someone please tell me where it is getting this image from when I have clearly changed the image, looked at image to confirm it is in fact the changed image prior to attaching it.
I am completely puzzled and Desperate as my client expects these changes. Thank you. In the mean time I will try to just upload the changed image to the web and hope the template uses the updated image on the server.
Thank you for any help you can offer.

Dreamweaver 5 means Dreamweaver CS5 correct? Can you give us a bit more info on your workflow? How's your site set up? Where does this image reside in comparison to the root of the site folder (make sure the image gets saved to the site folder)? Is the file path to the image correct? Make sure to turn live view off and back on again?

Dreamweaver Template files not updating other files

I took over a website and the site uses Dreamweaver Templates. I'm not too familiar with the way that Templates works. Anyway, the nav (links at bottom of website) need to be updated. I updated the secondary.dwt file within the Templates folder. I uploaded it, but it's not updating the pages on the website that use this template file. Please help!

When you update the template from within DW, you should get a dialog asking if you want to update all of the files that use the template. When you click "OK" everything is updated across the site.
If you updated the template outside of the defined site, it won't update anything and you may have a bit of work on your hands.
In DW, you should have a Files tab with a drop down menu. The drop down menu should have all of your defined sites. Choose the site you are working on and a list of the files in that site will appear. Choose the template and make your changes and it will ask if you want to update everything else.

Document info fields in Word won't update when placed in document header-section

Dear all,
I have a document library using 3 Content Types with metadata columns and a Word-template.
The values of these metadata columns should be displayed within the Word-documents created from content type.
So I've inserted document info fields into the Word-template to display them.
But unfortunately the placeholders are not updated when opening the document again, after metadata values had been changed e.g. by using the edit-form within the list.
From what I have seen so far, this only refers to document info fields resident in header or footer sections.
But this is where I need to place them.
Does anybody know this issue and has an idea of how to fix it?
Could VBA be of use here?
Best regards,
Ben

Hi,
Based on your description, document info fields in Word won't update when placed in document header-section.
Per my test, document info fields in Word will update when placed in document header-section.
Refer to the following article about Add SharePoint Metadata to Word Documents:

If I misunderstanding the issue, Please offer a screenshot about your issue.

My iphone 4s won't update to ios 6! please help!

My iphone 4s won't update to ios 6! I tried by my iphone it takes so long updating then it ends saying error!! I tried by using iTunes too, when it's done and installing it says error too!! this got me crazy!! any solution ? please help!

I got instructions to connect my iPhone4 to iTunes. Each time I was prompted to restore the phone, I ended up getting an error message that the iPhone could not be restored. I checked that I had the latest version of iTunes-I did. I tried two more times and got the same error message. I disconnected the usb/phone, closed iTunes, and restarted the computer. This time the restore worked and iOS6 loaded. Unfortunately, the last backup to iCloud that I was told I had was in June. Don't know why this happened as it should have backed up every day. Now I am working through restoring my settings and apps from the last three months. Thankfully, I didn't 'upgrade' my iPad, so I have a template off of which to work. I hope this helps.

Playsists selected for syncing no longer exist? ipod won't update

My new ipod won't update because it says that playlists I've selected for syncing no longer exist. For this reason I can't get any of my music onto my ipod and I don't understand what I am supposed to do to fix this
dell inspiron Windows XP

Hi guys, I've been having the same problem. Specifically, when I try to transfer songs from iTunes to my iPod I get the following error message: "Songs in the iPod "My iPod" cannot be updated because all the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist". I did some searching around at this site, and found that one possible problem is that my library is larger than my iPod's capacity, so I have to eliminate some songs. I did this, but I still get the same error message.

Certain apps won't update or download on any device.

I've searched for two weeks to no avail. I've seen similar problems posted but nothing quite like this. I have an iPhone 5s iOS 8.2, a 4th Gen iPad iOS 8.2 and Mac Mini Late 2014 OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. It all started with wanted to download the Pages app. My iPad is old enough it wouldn't let me download it for free so I initiated the download on my iPhone and then promptly cancelled. I then tried to download Pages from "the cloud" onto my iPad. It downloaded 3/4 of the way and failed stated that the app could not be downloaded at this time with two options to continue: done and retry. And now there are a handful of apps that will fail somewhere in the download and some apps that are already installed on the devices that won't update. Any app that has previously failed WILL download over cellular network on the iPhone 5s. I've tried four separate location with WIFI access and these same apps will not download. I've cleared network statistics, restored the iPhone to factory defaults, changed Apple ID password, tried a different Apple ID, and trying to download apps on Mac Mini to sync to iPhone/iPad over tethered connection. The only partial fix I have discovered is to start download over cellular network and switch to WIFI download. Please... any ideas. I feel I may have left out some steps I might have taken so please feel free to ask any questions.

I had this problem and solved it by going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
Note: This will not delete any apps, songs, videos, or podcasts from your phone. It will only reset your wallpapers, brightness, bluetooth, contact sorting, network preferences (still remembers networks though), etc. It's a bit annoying to go update all these back to how yo like, but much less annoying than a full restore.
DO NOT press Erase All Content and Settings. This will delete everything and you'll have to restore from iTunes.

IMac display issues: black icons and folders, doubled up files in finder windows, programs won't update

HELP!
I'm hoping someone can help with my iMac 27" purchased in 2010. From a previous discussion I started a year ago, I have had virtually nothing but trouble with it. After the internal hard drive crashing, I was able to install OS X on an external drive and used it for a good 8 months to drive my iMac and I took it to an expert who has replaced it with a 3tb HDD, but at some point the display has gone crazy. I am not certain if it is hardware, i.e. graphics card or video but I'll describe the symptoms and add some pics to see if anyone has seen this before and knows what the problem may be.
1.     90% of the screen was covered with white with just a portion of the desktop showing through.
        (This happened when I tried to reinstall OS X on the old HDD and the new one, but didn't happen when using OS X install disc)
2.     Files, folders, photos and some icons on the dock go black
3.     Files and photos double up when in Finder. When I'm viewing photos, it shows them but all the previous panes and the photos are jumbled behind the
        photos.
4.     Anything I open in Preview is completely black, but ColourSync Utility opens everything fine.
5.     Programs won't update. They will download onto my iMac but won't update. Some say, because I don't have OS X 10.6.8 others just won't open.
        Including Google Chrome, opens with two tabs open but when I open a third tab the rainbow wheel just turns. Skype won't open just gives a failure
        report.
6.     10.6.8 Update Combo downloads but when I restart the screen is covered in white - as in 1. and I have to reinstall OS X 10.6.2 to get the screen to               clear but then all the above problems continue.
7.     Sometimes videos don't display in Youtube, or the entire page other than the video player is covered in rainbow lines.
8.     Some buttons are blacked out on selection pages, i.e. system preferences, or saving screens
9.     Photos opened in FB go upside down and flicker all over the page as my mouse runs over them.
10.   Photos won't upload into internet editing programs.
I can't find anyone who has had the same issue in all of the discussions I've looked at, but it sounds like I have a video problem, but I wondered if it might be a software problem with flash or something. Or I have something malicious on my computer.
I also have an iphone 5 that faulted with the iTunes and USB icons and won't fix after trying one of those R-Sims, and I wondered if somewhere along the line it may have even had a virus/trojan/malware that has infected my external drive and then my internal drive. A reason I have thought that is because I have used my daughter's MacPro laptop and plugged in my external drive and I noticed the windows in hers were starting to do the same thing.
And on top of all that, my fans didn't work for over a year and I had to place an external fan at the back of the computer or it would overheat and shut down, but after resetting the SMU it started working again, but it is very noisy. I have tried to download SMC Fan Control and although it downloads to the HDD, it won't open.
Sorry its such a long post, I do hope with all of this information someone can help me.
Thanks so much.

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
*Soon after, I installed Quake Wars, L4D 1, 2, Mass Effect 2, Need For Speed: Undercover, Mozilla Firefox and *Sophos Enterprise AV*. Approximately a week after installation, I began to experience malfunctions varying greatly*
Macs get grumpy when running anti virus software. Disable or completely uninstall Sophos A/V and see if that makes a difference. A/V software on a Mac will slow the drive down more and more as time goes on.
Also, check the vendor sites for each 3rd party software you installed to make sure they are compatible with 10.6.x
The "hard reboots" are a result of the system freezing due to incompatible or outdated software.
