Very annoying Dreamweaver multiple sites problem

I have Dreamweaver CS5 running on a Mac version 10.6.8.
I have 7 different/separate sites that I maintain. Let's say I'm working on Site A and I have 4 or 5 pages open in Dreamweaver. Then a request comes in for me to update one of the pages from Site C.
So I use the drop-down menu in Dreamweaver to now switch to Site C. Which is on a different server and completely separate from Site A.
Dreamweaver hates this. It basically slows to a crawl trying to switch to this new site, takes about 2-4 minutes to actually make the switch so I can then see Site C's files. And once Site C is open, if I happen to click on of of Site A's open files, it takes another 2-4 minutes to be able to work on it, because Dreamweaver must be switching back to Site A's server?
But, I have the exact same set-up at home and this does not happen.
And if, before I change to Site C, I close all of Site A's open files, the change is much quicker.
But sometimes I forget to close all the files (and I think this shouldn't be necessary anyway) and am stuck waiting and waiting.
Old versions of Dreamweaver did not do this, that is going on and can I fix it?
Thanks
Steve

Honestly I have Transmit also installed on my computer so if I need to make a quick edit on a file in a second site, I usually just open that file and upload with Transmit so I can keep working.  I think you bring up a good point though about Dreamweaver's workflow for a lot of developers.  Maybe you should file a Feature Request for this.  Maybe it would be helpful to modify the Upload button to have a drop-down arrow next to it as an "Upload To" so that a developer could upload a file to a second site without having to open that site and stop their workflow.

  • Multiple Sites Problem

    Hi,
    I am using a personal domain name with iweb for one site. I have created two other sites using name forwarding. When I publish one of the other two I get the option to 'visit site now'. When I click on this it takes me to my first personal domain name site. Why doesn't it take me to the site I just published?
    I also notice that the other two sites urls are linked to my personal domain one. Is that how it should be?

    Select the site you want to visit in iWeb's left hand pane and use the File->Visit Published Site menu option.
    To make it easier to manage multiple sites I use iWebSites to do so. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
    If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process and move it to another location on your HD until you're satisfied the separation process is completed and what you want.
    This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.

  • I bought a new MacBook Pro several months ago.  I keep losing my wireless connection (my wife, sitting several feet from me has no problem with her iPad2).  I find the quickest fix ix to turn Airport off and back on.  Very annoying.   Suggestions please?

    I bought a new MacBook Pro several months ago.  I keep losing my wireless connection (my wife, sitting several feet from me has no problem with her iPad2).  I find the quickest fix ix to turn Airport off and back on.  Very annoying.   Suggestions please?

    What kind of wireless router are you using? more importantly which protocol are you connecting with? Are you and wife connecting using the 2.4Ghz band? or do you have a dual band router that offers the 5GHZ band?  Are you both connecting vie 802.11 a/b/g or n?
    The best thing to do is to go into SYSTEM PREFERENCES and select NETWORK, then select AIRPORT and click on the ADVANCED button.
    Under the AirPort tab you should delete all the preferred networks and only add back in your network with the proper security settings and passwords.
    If you hold down the option key on your keyboard while clicking on the airport icon at the top on your macbook pro. you'll seesome data that will tell you what band and mode you're connecting at, as well as in an indication of signal strength (RSSI) if you write down and post back that information it'll tell us what's going on.

  • Multiple Domain files, Multiple Sites, Publishing Problems

    I am frustrated beyond belief. I'm an old hand-coder, coming from BBEdit, but I've been using iWeb almost exclusively since its release, because it really is a great product for quick, easy, stylish designs.
    However.... In that year, my collection of sites has grown to 12. Discovering that iWeb becomes a major dog when dealing with that much material, I found and followed the instructions - today - to separate my sites into individual domain files, and edit them individually. iWeb is much snappier and publishing goes much more quickly.
    The problem? Well... after editing, "Publish to .Mac" rarely works. Only "Publish All to .Mac" will get the site online (something about an error with the index.html file). But "Publish All to .Mac", I've just discovered, DELETES the other websites that I have previous published. All day I've been doing updates and publishing my sites, only to discover that the uploads have all been wiped out by the most recent one!
    I'm a big enough fellow to admit that my knowledge isn't total nor perfect - so please, would someone out there with a better handle on iWeb than I (preferably someone who actually deals with multiple domain files rather than someone who thinks they can guess the problem) please clue me into how we make use of this program non-destructively?
    I suppose I could always publish everything to folders and upload it to my iDisk (which itself remains ridiculously slow after how many years now? Sheesh!), but that detracts from the elegance of the .Mac integration, the counter features, - not to mention the little fact that I'm a paying .Mac customer and this darn thing should just work, no?

    Mark:
    I was where you were also. You should give iWebSites a try. It's to iWeb what iPhoto Library Manager is to iPhoto.
    I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
    If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
    This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want. Just remember to put a copy of your current Domain.sites file somewhere else on your HD in case the splitting gets messed up. It went very smoothly for me and I now manage 19 or so sites.

  • I own fully paid for license for Dreamweaver CS6. Every time I click to open the app, I get a very annoying pop-up message. How do I stop it?

    I own fully paid for license for a Mac version of Dreamweaver cs6. Every time I click to open the app, and before I can start using CS6, I get a very annoying pop-up message (see screen shot below) that states I have a trial version and do I want to buy into the cloud version, which I don't.  How do I stop the pop-up? This message seems to originate from the Extension Manager.
    I tried trashing Extension Manager, but another annoying pops-up which states that I have to "reinstall the application manager". Of course, there is no such thing as a "application manager" that I can find. I guess it should be "extension manager".
    I no longer own Photoshop because there are so many great alternatives available. Can't wait to do the same with Dreamweaver.
    Adobe can't even get the correct cost. I'm an US Customer however they quote the Creative Cloud in Euros. Go figure........

    I have faced this problem in the past.  In my case, I had Adobe registered under two separate ID.  One when a student and the second as a regular employed individual.  Because I purchased the licensed while at the University, the registration was listed under the school id. So, when I login in Adobe using my regular ID, I then received the annoying marketing campaign add.
    Therefore, review that you have enter the correct id during loging. IT is possible that you login to the community as one ID but purchased the subscription using a separate user name. In these cases, the computer will not know that you already have a paying license.

  • Dreamweaver CS3: One Template, Multiple Sites

    We have about 40 sites with the same basic layout, but it's
    always a hassle to update the templates because we have to do it 40
    times! Is there any possible way to use the same template for
    multiple sites so that updates will be much easier? We are just
    using regular HTML pages, nothing in PHP or the like.

    Trying to apply a template site-wide would be a catastrophe -
    that's
    probably why there isn't an extension to do it....

  • I am very annoyed at the Creative Cloud set up and the non-stop issues and problems

    I am very annoyed at the Creative Cloud set up and the non-stop issues and problems!  I am paying monthly for this service and it is constantly failing in some way!  So far in three months I have had to uninstall and re-install Photoshop THREE times because it stopped working properly and Illustrator I have had to do that same to TWICE!  That isn't including the other apps that have had issues!  I don't have the time to constantly be un-installing and re-installing all or some of the Creative Cloud because your developers are not making a product that works consistently for the money you are charging!  It is costing me more than just this monthly fee!  And I am even less impressed with the fact that I cannot email someone for assistance in resolving these issues.  Really Adobe?

  • Ever since I updated to iOS 8 on iPhone 5, sometimes when I press the home button just once it will open the app switcher or even the assistive button. Anyone else have this problem? Is it an iOS 8 glitch? Please help - very annoying.

    I updated to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5 yesterday and now when I press the home button even once, it opens the app switcher (which is supposed to only open after pressing the home button twice quickly). Sometimes pressing the home button once even brings up the assistive button (which for me should take three button presses). This did not happen before I updated my software. Has anyone else had this issue? Know how to stop it? Very annoying and at this point feel like I should have waited before I did the update.

    Hello ..do you have a history on the phone? did you get it wet? was it dropped? have you been using an authentic ORIGINAL apple charging cable?
    this problem occurs when there is a short circuit  in the phone... you  most likely got  it wet at some point and maybe didnt even realize it? The moisture in the phone hasb probablly  oxidized one or several capacitors, integrated chips thereby short circuiting the phone. that is why he phone  is acting erratic because these short circuits inadvertently "activates" other circuits.. eventually the phone will not turn on anymore- the heat will stress the citcuit board and you will have discontinuity along your main power lines and the phone will cease to function..i see this alllll the time in our shop
    the fact you upgraded to ios6 will even work the phone harder because its a more powerful operating system taking full advantage of the A4 chip..

  • Very Annoying EXPORT problems

    The first time i installed Lightroom, all the things went well, but i don't know why, one day i tried to export a photo and it appeared one of those common errors with "Send Error Report/Don't Send Error Report".
    I can't do anything besides the preset export settings. I installed windows again, and the first thing i did besides installing the correct drivers for my pc, was to install Lightroom. I tried all versions of Lightroom, including Lightroom 2 Beta. I don't know why it worked once, and after a while it didn't work. If it never worked i could have said that my pc is a mess, and i need a new one, but why did it work at that time? (i tried to go back with all the installations i made since it worked, but nothing).
    I really need help, because it's a very annoying problem.

    Hello fellow Minnesotan!
    Welcome to the forum.
    Have you tried to repair permissions using Disk Utility, and trashed GB's ".plist" and ".cs" files, then restarted the computer?
    And about the looping, just do it in GB and avoid all this mess. LOL!
    Good luck and let us know how it works out!

  • How do i turn off the STUPID gestures? every time i quickly scroll a large page i get switched to previous sites i've been at, very, very annoying! i hate gestures!

    i'm using firefox 4.0 on an amd cpu running suse linux 11.4. i've completely turned off the gestures in suse (one of the first things i do, i can move a mouse very quickly and i like it to be a mouse!), i can't find a plugin or setting to turn these damn things off. the main problem is when i use the scroll wheel to rapidly move up or down a long web page and wind up on another page suddenly, very, very annoying! i really, really HATE gestures! then again i know how to use buttons etc. and i do mouse very quickly and creatively ( i also turn off several other "conveniances" like automatic window resizing, i know how to manage windows.....) thanks, i really, really hate these "features" being on by default, people with certain disabilites are probably also highly annoyed by the lack of choice in some procucts.
    you really, really need to provide easy access to more settings, as evidenced by the number of extensions aimed at providing control to users. thanks

    You can set all the mousewheel.with*.action prefs to 0 to perform a scroll.
    mousewheel.withnokey.action
    mousewheel.withaltkey.action
    mousewheel.withcontrolkey.action
    mousewheel.withmetakey.action
    mousewheel.withshiftkey.action
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    If necessary then you can also set all the browser.gesture prefs to empty String values.

  • Dreamweaver 8 root site problem

    I recently upgraded to version 8 from MX. My root site is on
    my network storage, and never had a problem with MX. My image paths
    are all wrong and now have just broken link placeholders. After
    doing a little resaerch, I mapped a drive to my site folder, and
    now the images are back IN DREAMWEAVER. My problem now is when I
    pre-view a page in a browser (F12), the image links are broken
    again...... any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

    Actually, the two dots mean "go up a level". The first link
    is a root
    relative link, and it's the leading slash that refers to the
    root.

    It would happen in both, if you have temp files disabled in
    both. No doubt
    you had them enabled in MX and not in DW8. Check your Preview
    in Browser
    preferences.

    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Well, then isn't there some way to induce Firefox to give Windows parameters that make it open the fershlugginer window in the *same* position, instead of an offset position?

  • I have Lion and iCloud.  There are two very annoying problems.  mFirst, in the middle of writing or research the window gets yanked to the right.  Sometimes it can be retrieved and sometimes it can't.  sec on, in the course of research on Safari, or work

    I have recently upgraded to Lion and iCloud.  There are two very annoying quirks that i don't know how to fix:
    1-When working with word, documents or emails in the middle of a sequence the picture or window suddenly is yanked off the screen to the right.  More often than not it can't be retrieved.  This happens often
    2-In the same mode as in #1 above the print size will suddenly increase maybe by a factor of 3x or 4x.  it happens spontaneously.
    3-There are many other problems with the upgrade:
         -With sequence emails the secondary emails are not printed.  When one tries to open those emails it often fails.
         -The new address book format is crap.  it is very difficult to go from single listings to group listings and back.
    It's obviousto me the Apple software designers are not users.
    So how can i fix #1 & 2 above.

    Microsoft Word?  What version and service pack?
    Microsoft Office 2011 SP2 includes Word version 14.2.2.  Some Office 2011 updates addressed problems with Lion.

  • IPv6 deployment problem for multiple site

    Dear Expert,
    I have a question about the deployment of IPv6 on two different site and the requirement is that client may need to auto switchover to another site while one of the ASR1002 is failure. I have using two different prefix on two sites with IPv6 stateless autoconfig like above diagram. Different prefix used for each site due to each site should use there own IPv6 prefix for Firewall Stateful(Default gateway point to local site firewall only). Client will retrieved two IPv6 addresses at the same time and it seems workable on Vista PC and Mac(Mac haven't select the High DRP one but work fine) and I haven’t try for other mobile device (have WiFi device for vlan100). Is it a valid solution? Any other solution for multiple site deploy IPv6 with Firewall no NAT enabled?
    Thank you very much!
    Regards,
    Kawaii

    One option would be to tweak the OS prefix policy table to prefer v4 to v6.  On Linux this is in /etc/gai.conf; on windows you'd run "netsh interface ipv6 set prefixpolicies ...".  The side effect would be that you'd only do v6 with the v6-only sites, not with the dual-stack sites.
