Troubleshoot synchronization problems in Dreamweaver CS4

I am now having problems linking files; ie PDFs on my site in Dreamweaver CS4
I found this trouble shooting guide and followed both suggestions, but neither is working for me, any suggestions?
Here is a link to the adobe site describing the problem:
Thanks so much! Issue When you use Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 and CS5 to synchronize files or upload files to a server, you experience one of the following issues: * When you put files, Dreamweaver warns you that the remote file has changed on the server: "my_file.htm has changed on the remote server since your last get or put operation. Putting it may overwrite changes to the file. Do you wish to put the file anyway?" However, you are sure that the remote files haven't changed. * The Synchronize preview dialog box does not correctly list the files that should be synchronized. * The Synchronize preview dialog box says no synchronization is necessary, but you know some files have changed. Note: Synchronization underwent major enhancements in Adobe Dreamweaver 8. The current version of Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 and CS5 uses similar technology. Reason When you put or get a file in Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 and CS5, Dreamweaver locally stores the remote and local date/time stamps in files called dwsync.xml, which are located in hidden _notes folders in the same folder as the files being transferred. Occasionally, the dwsync.xml files can become corrupted.

Sorry I guess the link did not show but the paragraph describes it, I have cleared the cache, deleted the dwsync files and searched for all of them on my computer but I still can'y load a simple link....

Synchronize problem with Dreamweaver CS4

Hi all,
I was wondering whether any of you can offer any advice or help with a problem I have with Dreamweaver CS4.
The problem is regarding the Synchronize feature within Dreamweaver, for example after I have made a change to a web page and want to upload this to the internet, the software detects what files have changed which is fine but against the file it has the word and symbol called "Resolve" and this is where I am stuck because I cannot click on the Resolve button to change it to "Put" because the icon is grey so therfore I am unable to upload any changes to any websites.
If anybody can help me then it would be very much appreciated.
Cheers
Daniel

Hi Hans- G
Many Thanks for this. I will go and have a look. It is strange as I have never experienced this problem before.

Problem with Dreamweaver CS4 after upgrade to Lion

I am having a problem after upgrading to Lion, with my Dreamweaver CS4 . When I try to use the bold button the text completely dissapears from the screen in design view The text is still there as it shows up in preview and also shows up in code view. Has anyone else had similar problems since the upgrade? and is there going to be a fix for it.

Template url problem in Dreamweaver CS4

Hi there,
Thank you very much for reading this post. I am having a problem with templates in Dreamweaver CS4, I am following the correct procedures to build a template, but when I link the pages together and update the template, the url has not been changed/updated on the child pages.
Here is an example:
Template:
../content/section/pagename.html
Child Page:
/section/pagename.html
Missing out the first part of the link, when the pages are loaded, obviously, they are not going to the correct part of the website
Please, can anybody give me some advice, as this problem is very quickly, driving me mad.
Thank you.
John

I observe this problem too on my Vista x64 machine with CS4
using dual monitors and split code/design views, and have found
others who have this problem by searching Google.
Description of problem: Roughly 50% of the time, when
switching between files (regardless of type) and trying to select a
block of code with my mouse (dragging over some code with the left
button), it appears to work normally (the intended code is
highlighted). However, when then attempting to CTRL-C (cut) or
paste, the selected code instantly changes to a much larger block
of code (usually selecting a specific div block or something). The
cut or pasted code is then the larger (unintended) block of code.
Once the code view selection works for a particular file
(either it worked from the start or I poked at it long enough to
work), it seems to remain working until switching to another file
and then returning.
Also, Dreamweaver CS3 didn't have this problem, so it's CS4
only.
This is a workflow nuisance much like a word-processor
deciding to insert a % character randomly every 10 seconds while
typing.
I found a Google groups thread
here
in which a poster writes that deleting the Dreamweaver
configuration file fixes this temporarily (the problem eventually
shows up again, and you lose all your customizations by doing
this). The posters in this thread also describe the same problem
with other hardware configurations.
My current workaround is to type return then backspace when
dropping in to the code-view of another file--kind of a pain, but
at least predictable. I also tried avoided the issue by: (a)
selecting something in the design view and then selecting something
in the code view, and/or (b) telling Dreamweaver to show the
"element view" (right click in design view, element view, Full),
but this latter action may be superfluous.
I'd be very interested if someone were to post a simple fix
for this problem.
thanks!

Mozzilla problems with Dreamweaver CS4

I write a weekly blog/column using Dreamweaver CS4 and some of my readers who use Mozzila are saying that my column is not formatting correctly.
They can see it in IE and Safari no problem. Mozzilla is just not working.
Here's my url www.ralphspic.com
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Have you checked my actual site?

Checking that setting does not really give me any option. It's default is the CSS which is where it's at now.
But you're suggesting I set it to HTML?
Thanks again.
If you go to the Modify->Page Properties, click on Title/Encoding. That is where the doctype is set. The DTD should be set to anything, right now browsers have to render in quirks mode because there is nothing.
Are you updating this whole thing manually strictly in DW? I'm not sure of your hosting situation, but have you considered the pre-built solutions like a Wordpress? Through out all the issues of designing/writing HTML and use an online based tool and editor like is built into that?

Problem with Dreamweaver CS4 workspace

Hi
I have just installed the Adobe CS4 Design Premium software on my Macbook Pro (OS X) and I have a problem or two with the Dreamweaver CS4 workspac:
1) When I have no file open, no matter which workspace I choose from the drop down list, I have a "see-through" area where files are generally displayed (see attached screen shot). This means I can see my desktop picture, or any other open files, in the background. This is very desturbing! If I click in that open space it also takes me out of Dreamweaver.
How can I get just a basic grey background in my workspace, instead of the silly see-though??
2) I have no close, minimize or maximize icons at the top left as I have in Photoshop or Lightroom!?!! Why is this and how can I get it there?
Thank you very much in advance for anyone who can help!

I have the same problem - just installed Dreamweaver yesterday on mac. Will be interested to see if anyone has a solution for this!

Css copy paste problem still a problem in Dreamweaver CS4

Hi all, I know this one has been discussed before, but this is still a major usability issues with the product with no practical solution available.
For some reason no one seems to be able to mark http://forums.adobe.com/thread/209290?start=50&tstart=0 as unanswered, yet numerous posts stating it isn't resolved.
Therefore, I'm starting this request to see if there is a solution.
For those of you unaware, the issue affects Dreamweaver CS4 code view. After editing in code view (usually with CSS files though others have reported other code types) for a little while (sometimes within seconds, sometimes after many minutes of use) and then when you copy (Ctrl-C) the application selects all text and copies that. Usability wise, you've just lost your place in the code (which you may have spent some time finding in a complex file) and what you wanted to copy is not what's in the clipboard. So frustrating.
The issue is similarly repeated with pasting (i.e. you select some text or a place to paste and the system selects all before pasting from clipboard).
So does anyone know of a patch to fix this yet?
Thanks

Image Link Problem with Dreamweaver CS4?

On my website, I have several images that link to other parts on my website. These work no problem when I preview the site, but after I test the links, the images that had those links have purple outlines that really clash with my website's design. Will users see this if they click on my links, and then return to the page? I'm using CS4 right now, and never recalled having this issue come up when using MX. Thanks for the help.

I got stuck on this one too - not realising that Dreamweaver automatically palces a border on every image link - but the simplest way I found was to have my "Properties" panel showing on the bottom and input 0 into the "Border" box. By having this panel open you can see if you have accidently applied any styles to the image, where it links to, Image size attributes and the Image name.

Screen DPI problems with Dreamweaver CS4

I am having the same problem in CS4 as many other posters here who work at higher than 96 DPI where the options are cut off in the properties section (screenshot by another user here: http://www.spinsister.nl/zandbak/propbar.htm ). From what I have read by searching here and elsewhere on the web, the only "solution" is to scale my display back to 96 dpi. Since I work on a laptop with a native resolution of 1900x1080 and my eyes are not the best, this isn't really an option.
My question is, does a way exist to change just the DPI settings for Dreamweaver so that it will display these elements properly? I am using Windows7 64 and I have tried changing the compatibility settings to Disable display scaling on high DPI settings, but this does not fix the problem. Is there another way to go about this? I honestly can't work in 96 dpi all of the time and logging off and on everytime I want to use Dreamweaver (which is often) doesn't seem like a very elegant solution.
Does anyone know if a fix for this is being planned or if there is a better workaround than just reverting to a smaller dpi?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Dear Mike!
I've got the same problem but the eye problem as our frustrate fellow above!
For a while ago, I changed my DPI values to a higher one in order to match the actual screen size to my printer so I could get WYSWYG when I was doing a lot of printing job in PhotoShop.
By reading your contribution on this forum, it gave me the hint to lower my screen DPI value while I am working on DreamWeaver.
It Worked! Thanks A LOT!
I appriciate your effort to register on this forum to help pepole like me...

Css copy paste problem in Dreamweaver CS4

Having a problem in CS4 when I want to copy and paste things
in my stylesheet.
Whenever I do ctrl +c to select a something the whole
stylesheet gets selected. And that is not what I want.
Even is I want to copy something from an other css into the
css I am working on it won't do the job.
Anyone having the same problem and found a solution?

Problem with Dreamweaver cs4 tutorial

Hi I have been following the dreamweaver tutorial (go to http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/first_cs4_website_pt4.html)
All been well up until adding main image text.

Please see link below.

Thanks to you both for correcting the wonky main image.
My white text box was not where it was also (that is what my original problem was) and I managed to sort it myself! The problem was there was a space missing before the p tag.
Hmm, that's strange because the validator didn't pick up any coding errors... but happy for you that you found an error - that's progress !! :-)
Thanks Nadia for recommending this tutorial. very informative. Now to see if I can try and fix all my website errors!
You're more than welcome. Doing tutorials step by step is a good way to learn instead of plunging in the deep end and trying to create a site without now at least the basics.
Good luck !

Hi all,
I am having problems inserting images onto my website. In design view I can view all images perfectly, however when I run the website live the images fail to display. Instead of the picture, the name of the picture appears with a red error cross in a box. These pictures are in the appropriate format (e.gjpeg & gif) so I am very confused and not sure what to do.
I would really would appreciate if anyone could assist me with this.
Thanks guys.
