Why can't I see my text in CS5 design view?

Since upgrading to CS5, I cannot see any text but plain text as I work in design view. If I apply a css format to it, it disappears from view, but not from the code and shows up on the browser. But if I can't see it, and can't select it, I can't lay it out at all.
I have uploaded 2 different screen grabs of a simple page with the split view so that you can also see the code. -one is the regular design layout and then the split in Live View so that you can see what I mean. The text in in the code, is visible in Live View, but cannot be seen or selected in Design View. I have a MacBook running Snow Leopard.

I posted this problem months ago and no one could figure it out. I have been using my old computer with CS in the meantime. Now I have time to address the issue and want to try again. So far I have reformatted my drive, reinstalled the operating system, unistalled and reinstalled CS5.
Please help me.

Is it only the <h> (heading) tags that you can't see in design view? From the screen shot it looks like you can view the <p> (paragraph) tag, right?

Why can't I see my site normally in Design view?

I made a lot of changes to my hobby site when I converted to CSS and also changed the layout. The problem is this, now that it looks good in the Web browsers where I've tested it, it's gone crazy in the Dreamweaver Design view. Sepcifically, the text for the article shows up as a narrow column about 150 pixels wide on the far right side. Any suggestions? Here's a link to the site on the Web ...
http://www.keithpurtell.com/kthings/

#article {
float: right;
margin-right: 60px;
width: 570px; /*530*/
max-width: 85%;
/*max-width: 560px;*/
Disabling max-width in DW gave me an approximately correct result in DW Design View.
I didn't see any unexpected change in the browsers without that attribute either.
Don't know if that helps - just an observation.

Why can I only see ten text messages? If i receive an 11th message it automatically knocks the last one off. Please help, it's driving me mad!!!

I have an Iphone 4s and my friends can see all text messages, going back years but I can only see the last ten. If I receive any more than 10 it just knocks the last dated ones off! I have not deleted any so if I haven't deleted any then they must be there but I can't access them. Somebody please help - i've tried everything and gone through every menu!!

I have had a similiar issue with this as well. It gets even scetcher when you create the file extension dynamically.
Technically if one is clever they can create something like this and make the file extension and output format dynamic. What ends up happening is the file extension will get stripped.
I logged a tar with oracle. Kevin in support told me to upgrade to the latest one off patch, I did. The issue still persisted. Kevin then stated, using the java api's is unsupported sucks to be me huh.
Example:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xapi:requestset xmlns:xapi="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/xapi" type="bursting">
<xapi:request select="/XXBOL_POXPRPOP/LIST_G_INIT_INFO/G_INIT_INFO/LIST_G_HEADERS/G_HEADERS">
<xapi:delivery>
<xapi:filesystem id="save1" output="/u20/app/DUVS1/apduvs1/applmgr/apps/apps_st/appl/xxbol/1.0.0/temp/bursted/Output_${POH_PO_NUM}.${FILE_EXT}"/>
</xapi:delivery>
<xapi:document output-type="${FILE_OUPUT_FORMAT}" delivery="save1">
<xapi:template type="xsl-fo" location="xdo://XXBOL.XXBOL_POXPRPOP_TP1.en.GB"/>
</xapi:document>
</xapi:request>
</xapi:requestset>
Anyways, it seems like whenever there is an error or mistake anywhere pdf is defaulted (just like you said). It would be much better if it just bombed.
For the sake of doubt try changing it to:
/XXBOL_POXPRPOP/LIST_G_INIT_INFO/G_INIT_INFO/LIST_G_HEADERS/G_HEADERS/POH_PO_NUM
There is zero doubt this node and value should be available to the burster. If that doesn't work it's tar time. Verify the xpath is good in cooktop or xml spy.

Why can't I drag images from Finder to Design View Dreamweaver CC?

Hey Guys,
I'm using OS X Mavericks (10.9) and Adobe DW CC
For some reason in both CC and CS6 I can no-longer drag files from Finder (Mac OS X's Explorer) into the design view ( for eg: adding images to a table cell ), the browse button doesn't work properly either... The "browse for file" button only works if there is an image already there and then it will update the image, otherwise if there's no image in the table cell it will bring up the browse dialogue box but does nothing if I select a file and press "open".
Is there a setting that was introduced in CS 6 that affects this behavior?

Hi All,
This bug has been fixed in the latest version of Dreamweaver CC 2014, which is now available for download.
Download it from https://creative.adobe.com/ or directly through the Creative Cloud desktop app.
We’re excited to hear back from you. Please share your feedback.

Why can't I see the text I enter when testing a fillable form using Acrobat 9 Pro?

I created a fillable pdf using Acrobat 9 Pro. I have done this several times over the last two years with no problems. Recently, when I tested my fields by typing in text, it didn't show up. Out of sheer frustration I just typed a staggering amount of letters and suddenly I could see a couple of letters, but they were chopped off at the top, and no where near the bottom of the field where they should be. What is going on?

I know!!! This is so frustrating. I have attached the document.
Maybe you can try to type in it and see. I used the default font, but I
did change the size from "varies" to "10 pt."
I appreciate your willingness to troubleshoot for me! Thank you!

Under "View My Usage" why can I not see all texts or phone calls listed?

When I am on-line on my verizon wireless account under "View My Usage" ... the list doesn't reflect all texts or minutes. Why is this?

Do you have an iPhone? Are you using an app to text, rather than the standard texting? Those will use data and will not show up on your text logs.
Calls may take up to 48 hours to show on the call logs, and longer if you were roaming or in extended network when the call was made or received.

Why can't I see my text messages?

So I have an iPhone4 running iOS 7.0.2 and Verizon is my cellular provider. A few days ago, I was setting my friends' contact photo and it took an unusual amount of time to load, about an hour, then my iPhone reset itself. When it came back on, all but 6 out of about 50 of my previous conversations had been removed from my message history, and it was indicating that I still had 3 unread messages but I couldn't read them. So I went through my contacts list and pressed 'Send Message' on every single one, just so that my previous messages would come back up so I could see if any of the messages i couldnt see were from my contacts. Two of the "unread messages" were from two of my contacts, but I still have the one message I can't see and have no idea who it's from. It's two days later and now I have 8 unread messages from who I'm assuming are numbers not registered in my phone's known contacts. Does anyone have any clue how I can fix this?

Do you just mean while you are in the car? Or do you mean while you're connected to a system in the car? What happens when you try? Have you consulted your dealer to make sure you have the most up-to-date firmware on your car system?

Why can my parents see my texts on their Iphone that was only meant for a friend?

When I text some of my friends(not a group message) my mom gets text from both me and my friend. I have a seperate apple account, iphone, and different contacts. I dont know how to fix this but I just dont want them reading my texts. Thank you for any help in advance.

Because you are using the same Apple ID for iMessage. To fix this, on one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. Or, on both your phone and your mom's phone, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at".

Why can't I see all the texts in a group text?

Why can't I see all the texts in a group text? I see some of the conversation, but not all.

In all honesty, iOS doesn't do group messaging very well. If people have non-iPhones, you may not see their replies, they may get gibberish. If you do a lot of group messaging with the same people, it might be worth switching to a dedicatated app such as GroupMe.
Best of luck.

Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

Apple is great!
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC. I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off. Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage. I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging. Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on. What happened to regular MMS text messaging? I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program. I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?
The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.

Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

Why can´t I see contacts and calendar events from my iPhone in my mac pro if I already registered it in the cloud?

Why can´t I see contacts and calendar events already registered in my iPhone, in my Mac Pro ? I already actualize LION OSX and selected these items in the adjustments menu of the icloud. I could do it just once, after I installed Lion OSX, but up to the moment it does not updates.

Assuming you activated iCloud, try going to Settings>iCloud and make sure Calendars and Contacts are set to ON.

HT1947 Why can't I see all songs for an artist when using iPad remote for home sharing music through apple tv.

Why can't I see all my songs for an artist when I search by artist using iPad remote? I'm listening to music via home sharing through apple tv using iPad 2 as my remote. All my songs seem to be listed fine under "songs", but when I select "artist" many of the songs I have for that artist are not there, any idea why that is or how I can fix this.....I suspect it's because many songs may not be associated with an album and it seems only songs in albums are displayed when I search by artist.

Thanks Ferretbite, but that's not the issue in my case, the songs are not part of a compilation. I just checked several of them and the "Part of a compilation" box is unchecked.....it seems as if the song does not have an album associated with it, it will not display under the artist when I search by artist on the iPad remote which REALLY stinks.
Hope someone else might have a solution.

Why can't I see my iPhoto files in iMovie?

[DISCLAIMER: My question is short, but my details are not. This is going to be a LONG read, but I wanted to make sure I provided all you helpful people with as much information as I could so that I could receive the best possible solution. So your patience and assistance is greatly appreciated!]
In iMovie [version 4.0.1], when I click on the Photo button to import pictures into my project from iPhoto, the following error message appears: "No photos were found. To use this feature, you must first create a photo library using iPhoto version 2.0 or later."
However... I AM using iPhoto [version 4.0.3]... with a HUGE Library containing 2000+ images and several created albums. These features work just fine within the confines of that program. They just aren't integrating with iMovie correctly. So... why can't I see my iPhoto files in iMovie?!!?!
FIRST ATTEMPT:
When I checked iMovie help, all it said was "You must open iPhoto at least one time on your computer to be able to access your iPhoto library from iMovie." I've obviously done this, having used the program plenty. Didn't work.
SECOND ATTEMPT:
When I checked this forum, the closest thread I could find that was similar to my problem suggested deleting the iMovie preferences file [com.apple.imovie3.plist]. It was later added that deleting the iPhoto preferences file [com.apple.iphoto.plist] as well had solved the problem immediately for that user. Tried it. Didn't work.
THIRD ATTEMPT:
When I checked the Apple Info site, their main solution was to try recreating the AlbumData.xml file which is used to populate the photo listing. Now this file can usually be found in the iPhoto library folder and I know how to recreate it. But THIS is where I think my main problem lies.
Unlike most users, my iPhoto Library is actually located on an external hard drive under "my hard drive name"/Pictures/iPhoto Library. When I checked this folder for the AlbumData.xml file , it simply did not exist. So as a test, I created a new iPhoto Library also on my external hard drive but the AlbumData.xml file was not created with it. I opened up iMovie just to see if it was able to browse the iPhoto library properly. But it still didn't work.
However, when I created a test iPhoto Library directly onto my Mac's hard drive, the AlbumData.xml file was indeed created with it. And when I opened up iMovie again... lo and behold, the iPhoto library finally appeared. It worked. But unfortunately, this solution still doesn't help me at all!
Thing is, I don't have enough space on my Mac's direct hard drive to move my entire iPhoto Library there (where it works). That's why I am using an external hard drive to store (more space). So is there ANY way I can keep my iPhoto Library located on my external hard drive and have the library, albums and files recognized in the other iLife applications like iMovie???
I feel I've tried everything, folks Could someone please please help me?!!?!
[my specs are listed below if that helps any]
Thanks in advance,
a very disgruntled wizkid :\
PowerBook G4 12" [1GHz, 256MB, 40GB] Mac OS X (10.3.9) GeForce FX Go5200 32MB, Matshita DVD-R UJ-816, Maxtor External Hard Drive [250GB, Firewire & USB 2.0]

My main concern at this point is that the AlbumData.xml file is unable to create itself onto the External HD. When I view the file [that I created from my test iPhoto Library on my Mac's HD] in finder, it appears to be a Final Cut Pro type of extension. Is something wrong with my External Hard Drive in that regard? Is it just incapable of storing those file types??? Hmmm...
As for the alias solution... instead of alias-ing the "Pictures" folder like you have, I've already tried creating an alias of the "iPhoto Library" folder on my External HD and placing it within the "Pictures" folder on my Mac. But when I tried to "Find Library" upon launching iPhoto, the prompt box would not allow me to choose the "iPhoto Library" alias I had created. So I couldn't open it.
To be honest, I'm not exactly sure how to create an alias correctly... or perhaps I should try alias-ing the actual "Pictures" folder (like you have) rather than just the "iPhoto Library" folder, but I don't know how to do that correctly either.
FYI... I am mounting my External HD before I launch iPhoto.
Also, I have also tried dragging the AlbumData.xml file that I created from the test iPhoto Library into my active iPhoto Library folder residing on my External HD. It would appear to be in the folder, but as soon as I clicked somewhere else in finder and than back into the folder, it would disappear. Not sure how to "point to it" either.
Karl, think maybe you could provide some hints on how to properly alias something or "point" to the AlbumData.xml file? I'd try it myself, but I don't wanna screw anything up by accident.
PS. As stated in the post above, there's a possibility my External HD is no longer Mac OS formatted... at which point I throw my hands up into the air and scream!
thanks for the tips thus far... everyone's so nice and helpful... I love it!

Why can't I see my external hard drive, Intel iMac / 500 GB, G-Drive

Why can't I see my external hard drive? I have a new iMac, Intel based i5, running Lion (2-3 months old). I have a 500 GB G-Drive external hard drive that has showed up when connected to my iMac for the past 2-3 months. Now it's gone. It's NOT visible when using Disk Utilities. I have all of the radio buttons chosen in the Finder Preferences. I've unplugged and replugged in the drive, have switched the cable ports and have switched firewire cable. The G-Drive powers up and whirls, so I don't believe the problem is with the drive. Yes, I set my Preferences to make sure ALL disk types are visible. I've restarted my iMac on a number of occations. I rest my SMC by totally unplugging my iMac for a minute, then plugging it back in. Any suggestions?

Unplug the HD, Zap the PRAM, reconnect the HD, power it up, and see if that fixes the problem. If not, then maybe the HDs bitten the dust. Try on another computer to verify.
