Where have my site definitions gone?

I launched Dreamweaver CS5 today, only to find that none of my 30+ sites were available in my Site Management window, and I don't know why. The only clue I have is that a couple weeks back, I updated all of my Adobe programs, for the first time in a month or two. Dreamweaver was among them, as I remember it specifically.
Since that update, I hadn't launched DW until today, only to find my sites missing.
I've found a few posts about something similar to this, and have attempted their solutions. These include verifying/repairing my keychain, and replacing my Site Prefs file (user>library>application support>adobe>common>10>sites) from a Time Machine backup. Neither of these worked.
I have months of solid backups through Time Machine, at this point I just don't know what I need to restore though. Does anyone have any insight or suggestions to how to remedy this problem? It will be a major inconvenience to have to setup all these site again.
PS. Note that all my site files are secure, I have only lost the site definitions in Dreamweaver.
Thanks in advance for any help on this matter.

Nobody does! This is an intermittent (luckily rare) problem that DW has had for years. THe solution of course is to keep a full backup of your site definitions using the Site Manager's EXPORT function.
Anyhow, on a Mac, your site and site prefs are saved here -
/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/11/Sites

Just where ARE the site definition files?

I've just received CS4. I want to move it to my more powerful laptop when I install it. I know how to do that and I can move site files, but where are the site definition files? I really don't want to have to set up each site from scratch. Is there one (or more) files that are the name, url, location, id, password etc for each of the (many) sites in CS3?

To import/export site definitions (not site files):
On the old computer:
Site > Manage Sites
Shift click to highlight all site names
Export..
Same procedure on new computer then Import..

Double click on the picture of the HD on your desktop, then look at the bottom of the window that opens.
First check the S.M.A.R.T. status on your HD: Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility > in the panel at left, select the first item in the list/your HD mechanism > look atthe bottom of the main window next to S.M.A.R.T. status and see if it says “Verified” or something more ominous like “Failing.”
If S.M.A.R.T.status is "Verified," run Repair Disk: Boot from install disc (insert disc > restart > immediately hold down c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”) > at first screen select the language and click Continue > click on the Utilities Menu in the menu bar > open Disk Utility > select your HD in the panel on the left side > click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility such as DiskWarrior or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quit the installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.

Good point. The default German layout works differently:

As of iTunes 11.1 and iOS7, podcast files will no longer play in the Music app on the iPhone (this is very annoying, but that's the way it is).
The two easiest options are probably:
What Apple wants you to do: download and install their free Podcasts app onto your iOS device. In theory your podcasts, including the BBC news one, should sync onto the Podcasts app. This is supposed to "Just work", and if it just works for you, well, congratulations, but that certainly doesn't seem to be the case for most posters in this forum.
What I'm leaning towards: for all podcasts in iTunes, Get Info, and change them from "Media Kind = Podcasts" to "Media Kind = Audiobook". That will allow them to sync to the Music app. Then you'll have to arrange smart playlists or whatever to sync those (ex-)"podcasts" to your Music app.

help? where have my downloaded apps gone after iSO 7

Hi vernica,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
There are a couple of things you can try to resolve this issue.
The first would be to restart and/or reset the iPhone.
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
Next, perform a Spotlight Search for one or more of your apps to see if they may be been moved to one of the other 5 home screens.
iOS: Understanding Spotlight Search
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3636
The iPhone User Guide for iOS link below will show you how to reset your Home screen layout on page 23.
manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout
If the apps still do not appear on your iPhone, you can redownload them:
Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

All site definitions gone in DW CS4

I'm using CS4 on a Mac running OS10.5.6. I accidentally removed one site, went into Time Machine and recovered it, then next time I started up CS4 ***all*** my sites are gone -- some 30 sites. I still have CS3 running (I have to support others here at work with older versions), so I can go and export some of the sites from CS3, but there are still many sites that were only built in CS4. Any idea on how to get these back? Is there a file I can restore from Time Machine that might contain that? I read the previous posts regarding missing site definitions, but they refer to the PC registry - not a solution for a Mac user. Help! Thanks for any suggestions.

You're a star, David! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Site Definitions Gone

Hello All,
I launched DW CS3 today and my site definitions have all disappeared. They were their last week and for months before that, but when I launched today, all of them are gone. I haven't done any updates to my machine recently that would have effected this as far as i know.
1. What could have happened?
2. How can I get DW to see my preferences or what ever it needs to "re-connect" to my site definitons. I'm running Mac OS 10.5.6 on a new'ish 24" imac.
Any and all help is really appreciated since I have pretty much all my connections data in the site definitions.
Thanks!
Steven O'

1. Crash happens. Backup regularly.
2. Reload from backup. See step 1

Where is the site definitions?

I had to reformat my hard drive, but I do have a backup. I
re-installed DW-CS4, and would like to restore the site
definitions, as I have several and don't want to have to start from
scratch.

The problem is that the site definitions (not the site files
- the
DEFINITIONS for the site) are saved in the Windows Registry,
and to get at
them, you need to boot from the drive (there are utilities
that might help
you - I cannot vouch for them, though). If you have not
exported them and
saved the export files, you will have to redefine each site,
most likely.

Where have my cc files gone? I have just updated my cc app and now, have no cc folder on my computer

I spent last week syncing 50GB of data in my cc folder and two computers. Now the cc app has updated and the folder has disappeared from my computer.Where have they gone?

yeah...check out the post about it here - Why do I have 3 'Creative Cloud Files' folders?

Where have all the downloads gone ...

Hello:
I installed Acrobat 9.0.0 from scratch, and then, I updated to 9.2.0. However, I would like to save the download file, but I have no idea (and have not been able to find out) where the download file went. I have Windows 7 Ultimate. Would anyone know?
Alternatively, or as supplement, where could I actually download 9.2.0? Adobe's website is not the easies, i believe.
Thanks,
Hans L

The updates from within Acrobat are stored locally (I have no idea where, but probably in your user temp folder). The downloads for manual installation are not cummulative and have to be installed in order. They are found on the http://www.adobe.com/downloads/ site with a click on the "product updates" in small print just below the readers and players icons on the right. They almost seem like they are trying to hide the updates. The new layout is definitely not as easy to use as the older menu based layout.

Where have all the Gurus gone?

If the DW gurus are not going to be in this forum answering questions, where can we find them? Did they start their own forum?

The community of the NNTP was a key DW asset
Agreed.
DW is greatly diminished by the adobe takeover
Disagree. I think that Adobe has done very well with it. The more dynamic sites that are now on the web I think diminish the value of DW to some extent.
killing off the NNTP will further hasten the demise of dw
Disagree. The experts that were on the NNTP were more of an "bonus feature" that came along with DW. Many have made the jump to the new forums.
Lets be straight here, dw needs lots of user support for the less than expert
I'd say that web design and development needs user support for everyone...even the experts.
dw with adobe's management is certain to die
It's a little early to start jumping to conclusions over a forum change that is still in its infancy. Give it some time. People that left will come back and if they chose not to...that is fine. They are more than entitled to do what they please. New users will emerge over time.

Where have the rich colours gone?

I updated premioere pro cc last night and when I opened the program today the rich colours for objects in the timeline have gone. This is making it a lot harder to see all the different tracks. The colours are fine in the project browser just on the timeline.
Any advice?

This was an intentional change to address complaints about the colors of track items in the Timeline getting too washed out within the In/Out range.
This is the very first time that it dawned on me that not all Premiere issues and problems come thru this Forum. DOH!
I assumed that Adobe did use other ways of testing / developing FRs though. eg Edit Lab and direct feedbacks etc.
Still..interesting that no one in this Forum complained about the color of track items!
At least it explains to me where the End of Sequence Indicator came from.

Where have the view icons gone! and why cant i scroll my album artwork anymore, instead i have an ugly grid!!

im trying to set up itunes on my new laptop, and all the library view icons have now gone, so easy switching from the ugly grid, to list or scrolling artwork seems to no longer be an option.
have apple stopped this on a down grade? or am i missing a vital clue to where its hiding, had a look on the help page and there seems no mention of it any more.

The main differences between iTunes 11 and earlier versions are the loss of coverflow and ability to have multiple windows open.
In Windows, you can restore much of the look & feel of iTunes 10.7 with these shortcuts:
ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album (Grid) view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
With iTunes 11.0.3 you can enable artwork in the Songs view from View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) making it more like the old Album List view.
If you feel the need to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and supporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.
