Why is Site Manager Freezing?

I am using CS5 with Windows 7. A few weeks ago, I made a change with my ISP and need to make an adjustment in Site Manager, but I am locked out of several settings in the site setup screen. I have deleted and reinstalled the entire suite twice. The second time, I deleted all preferences.
Here is where the problem comes:
Site -> Manage Sites -> Edit (or New)
In Site Setup, I am unable to access any but the three buttons (Help, Save, Cancel) at the bottom of the dialogue box. I’m happy to delete and reinstall again. Please advise.

Dreamweaver MX freezes in site manager

So My Dreamweaver MX freezes whenever I try to create a new
site using the site manager. Extremely frustrating and I have tried
to find a fix for this on Adobes site but with no luck. Anyone know
what to do? I know MX is kind of old nowadays... Do I have to
upgrade and shell out $200 to get into CS3 or what?
Thanx

Why does iTunes U site manager log me out when returning to collection manager?

So here's the problem ... kind of a weird thing has been happening lately with Site Manager. When I click on the feed of a collection to interact with the actual content (change the order, correct a typo etc.) and then click to return to collections manager, the site logs me out. When I log back in, it won't let me go back into the collection and gives an error message saying that the collection is unavailable because someone is already logged in to it. When I wait an hour or so, I can access the collection feed again but once I return to collections manager, I get logged out. I have tried this on different versions of Safari and in Lion with the same results. It is just in the last couple of weeks that this has been happening. Any ideas?

You are welcome, WonderProfessor.
Updating iTunes may not be the reason at all. It could very well be the Support Team has fixed the problem, which i think is the case.
Also, I learned i should report EACH problem to iTunes U Support Team using its Report Form:
https://ssl.apple.com/support/itunes-u/public-site-manager/contact.html
I used the Report Form a couple of months ago to report a different problem. One tech support person responsded and I have been emailing to that individual via email about a few more issues since then. This, however, is NOT a good practice. Reporting each problem using the report form will help the iTunes Support Team to prioritize the work based on urgency.
Anyway, I am releaved it is working now. Thank you. And thanks to the iTunes U Support Team and iTunes U Editors.

DW8 Site Manager Window

1. The dropdown menu for sitenames in the SHOW SITE list
selector no longer responds to typing in the first letter of the
site and the list zips to that alphabetical point in the list.
Previous versions did this, as is window standard for dropdown
menus.
2. WHen minimizing the DW main window, using the
click-on-taskbar DW icon, the Site manager window is left showing.
If the Minimize _ top left window standard button (near the X close
button) is used, it minimizes both windows.
3. Often it seems impossible to get the Local Side of the
Site manager window to Refresh to be the current files listed in
the directory, if, for instance, image files were added outside of
DW. REFRESH, F5, etc. do nothing. Relaunching DW then shows the
correct up-to-date directory listing.
4. After how many revisions of DW since DW2(when there was
discussion and "promises" to fulfill these features), there still
seems not to be a feature to provide information (e.g., right click
context menu a filename in the local directory to have this option)
for what files use/point to a particular file or asset. Since DW
already keeps a cross-reference cache of the dependencies, it seems
this is an easy informational list to display. It's very useful in
a number of situations, especially as a precursor to moving a file,
to see if anyone (or who) is dependent on this file. Too, DW is not
always thorough in updating all links and references to assets and
linked files (for instance, (a) there's a difference in behavoir if
you drag a file to another folder vs. cut/paste a file to another
folder; (b) html option dropdown lists sometimes are not updated,
(c) standard (e.g., imageready-generated) rollover menu image
references are never updated, especially in templates (what a pain
that is to manage).
5. Similarly there is no feature in a right-click context
menu (or otherwise) to fabricate/generate an absolute URL (from the
published web site perspective) for a given html file or image
asset. This has to be done manually(typing it in or navigating in a
browser and then copying the URL), but it could so easily be
generated and put in the paste buffer or other usable place.

wait, are
you on a Mac? I've never been able to figure out why some

to leave bits and pieces behind when minimizing on a Mac. Or
closing,
for that matter.

<shrug> Personally I don't see the need for it, but you
can always
tell Adobe (telling us here in the user-to-user forum doesn't
really
do you a whole lot of good, you know?).
When I want to find out what links to a file, I do a global
search for
the filename. But since I'm rather anal about site
architecture, file
naming conventions, and keeping good records, I've only ever
had to do
this when I'm working in a site someone else developed.

Never tried this, to be honest. Since dragging works, why cut
and
paste?
In my opinion DW is acting responsibly. If you have cut a
file from
the list of files, it warns you about existing links to that
file. If
you proceed with the deletion, it's deleted. Including from
the file
list. If you then paste the file somewhere else, how is DW
supposed
to know that you didn't really mean to delete it, you meant
to move
it?
> (b) html option dropdown lists sometimes
>are not updated,
I have no idea what you mean here.
>(c) standard (e.g., imageready-generated) rollover menu

That's because those are NOT "standard" menus. The links are
buried
in JavaScript. If they were standard menus with standard
links, DW
could manage them just fine.
Do a search in this forum for posts about the Fireworks
menus; the
ImageReady ones are no different.

Guess since I have never seen the need to use absolute URLs
within a
site, I haven't run into this.
How is DW to know what the absolute URL path is supposed to
be? And
if you want site root relative links, why not just use site
root
relative links?

Site Manager Menu Problem

I recently took another site live. When I log into the Admin Console, the only two options under the Site Manager is "Web Forms" and "System E-Mails" I need to enter some URL Redirects, but it and the pages aren't appearing. The site is displaying on the web just fine, but I don't have the options I have with the last site I took live.
Any thoughts why the menu seems to be incomplete?
Thanks

Hi
This only happens when site is in web basic plan, as web basic site plan does not includes web basic.
If the site is created using Muse then you would need to turn on the compatibility under my details.
pm me your site url , i will have a look.
Thanks,
Sanjit

I only see Web Forms & Email in Site Manager

Why do I only see Web Forms & Email settings in the Site Manager for a WebMarketing Site? Where did everything else go? I'm trying to upload a pdf file and that function is gone in BC.

Hi,
If you have published the site via Muse, Please try this
In Admin Panel, on your Right Hand side top, Mouse over on your name and Go to "My Details". You will see a check box "Enable online content editing". Check this box, Click save and logout. Login again, and goto site manager, you will see some more options like File manager
Please let me know if you have any other query.

My Business Catalyst Site Manager only has TWO menu items !

I need to build Secure Zone, and sure can't do it without a Secure Zone menu item in Site Manager.
I do NOT need a discussion ! I need someone to look at my Dashboard and figure out why I have no options ! Talking doesn't help ...
I thought for the exhorbitant prices Adobe charges that they actually had someone who helped ...

Lynda -
Thanks for reply. Liam said webMarketing doesn't do Secure Zones, although on the Adobe 'specifics' page for BC it clearly says it does.
And - I was able to set up a secure zone pretty easily.
What I can NOT do, since I don't have buttons/menu items in Site Manager, to set up access to secure zone.
I'm a retired IT guy, Lynda, and am building a website for our local Kiwanis Club (a service organization of businessmen that provides over $30,000 a year back to youth-related local charities/functions).
Primary site is: smithfieldkiwanis1.businesscatalyst.com
Secure site is: smithfieldkiwanis1.worldsecuresystems.com
I built them separate; not sure if that's right now, based on tutorial I watched on setting up Secure Zones (only way I know there ARE other buttons in Site Manager).
You can get BACK to non-secure zone from secure zone; you can NOT get to secure zone from non-secure area (which really does make sense ...).
I have to present site plan to the Kiwanis Board at 11:00 am Eastern time (50 min from now), so won't get resolved by then I know. But if there is someone you know I can talk to at Adobe to resolve this, I would REALLY appreciate it.
Thanks,

DW 6 trial, running on XP w/ service pack 3. The Site/Site Management dialog box is transpare

Cannot see any text or fields. The web page behind it shows.
The Site/Site Management dialog box is transparent.
see screenshot: http://www.mid-americaclutch.com/transparent_DW_dialog_Box.jpg

One small thing - I believe the reason why some of my drivers were messing up was because they were SP2 specific; the older drivers and the ones that were compatible with both SP and 2 were fine.
As soon as I did the reinstall, all of the drivers/programs that were not working, worked (aside from the ones that I mentioned in my attached email above).
So, if after uninstalling the old SP2 you are told that loads of drivers/programs will not work, fear not - most should fix themselves upon installing the new SP2.

Site manager very slow

I'm using DW8 ver. 8.0.2 and lately when I go to the site
manager to create new or edit a site it's very slow, like DW is not
responding, then it finally goes to the next window. Is there some
bugs in DW8 that need fixing?
Also: I added this topic yesterday and this morning it wasn't
listed in My Forums. Why?

How many sites do you have? Are the sites all located on the
computer that
is running DW? Are you running antivirus scans in real time?
How large are
the sites?

DW CS4 Site Manager Buggy?

Hi:
I am having trouble in my local testing environment. It all works perfectly on the Remote.
When intentionally seeking a validation error, the formmail page is not returning properly.
It should be:
http://localhost/srbartending/srbregistermail.php
But it is coming up:
http://localhost/srbregistermail.php
The testing server shows:
C:\xampp\htdocs\srbartending\ and
http://localhost/srbartending/
The error message states "not found", but I know it is there as I can connect to the URL by typing it in.
Is there a bug of some kind? I have DW CS 4 in Windows 7 -- CS4 was added after Windows 7. I also noticed that in the site manager, when browsing for files, they are not appearing correctly in the text box after selecting.
Appreciate any help!
Rgds, Ned

Hi
The first problem is probably to do with your site definition or a linking error.
As for the second problem with the site manager this is a know problem, and you must 'browse' to one folder below the required one, the problem is caused by an update to the windows os that was released after cs4, (sorry, but I do not know why adobe did not release an update to fix this problem).

DW 8 Site Manager loads slow

I recently got a new Dell Optiplex 745 and loaded DW 8 and it
worked great. Yesterday I went into Site Manager to edit one of my
sites and it took a full 20 seconds to load. It works fine once
loaded. When I first installed the program and imported my sites,
Site Manager loaded quickly. Programs and updates have been added
since I installed DW 8. Anybody have a clue why the slow load or
more importantly a fix??
Thanks,
Jim

Thanks for the response, David. Recreating site cache makes
no difference
Let me be a little more precise with what's happening as I
realize that my original post was probably misleading. The Manage
Sites window opens fine. The delay is when I click the new... or
edit... buttons. After clicking either of those buttons, it takes
almost exactly 20 seconds for the Site Definition window to open.
When using the edit... button it makes no difference which of my
sites I'm trying to edit. All current sites and a new site all go
thru the same delay. The other buttons - Duplicate, Remove,
Export..., & Import... - all work normally & immediately.
Thanks,
Jim

How do I create a non-apple ID account for a new adminstrator for a Podcast Site Manager

http://myinfo.apple.com is inoperable. I need to create a new account for an Administrator for our Podcast Site Manager account. We have one that no one can access. Can someone assist or point me in the direction of someone at APPLE that can? I called their helpdesk and THEY couldn't even help.
Concerned...

I'm afraid I don't know anything about this: it doesn't appear to be relevant to ordinary podcasts. Is this an iTunes-U matter? - perhaps that forum would help.

Add-on Manager freezes Firefox when I open it.

I am using Linux Mint 10 and Firefox 4b11pre, although this has been happening since at least b9pre. I am running Fx from my home folder as downloaded from Mozilla, not from a PPA. This happens on the "stable" beta releases as well as the "pre" releases. I used to be able to "vacuum" the databases with the program Bleachbit and the problem would go away...for a while. Now that is no longer affective.
Also, and I think this is important, ALL add-ons are functioning correctly. Everything works except I cannot open the add-on manger.
The new (huge, cumbersome, and unresponsive) add-on manager simply stops working. It won't load or partially loads and the browser darkens, which signifies an unresponsive program in Linux. I then have to force quit Firefox.
If I have crash reporting enabled I am never asked to submit a report.
This occurs completely randomly. It is not associated with any particular add-on as far as I can tell. I have spent many hours trying to diagnose this problem to no avail.
Things I've already done:
1. Build a completely fresh profile. I have done this several times, combining many different settings, and the problem still happens. It happens with the default settings, when I only change settings from the Preferences dialog, and when I change settings through about:config. I have also used the safe-mode switch to reset all settings, but it still happens. Similarly, I have re-downloaded Firefox itself, "pre" and "stable" for fear of corruption by updates, which has happened before, but this does not solve anything either.
2. Safe mode. If I choose to disable all add-ons from the safe mode dialog and restart Firefox the add-on manager works. At any given time I have about 30 add-ons enabled, mostly the standard ones (Adblock, No Script, etc.), and many that I'm just playing around with.
Now, when I start to enable add-ons, the add-on manager works. I can enable, say, 5 at a time, completely randomly, and it will continue to work until I reach about 25, then it dies. I have removed all add-ons except the ones approved by Mozilla on there add-ons website. Then with all approved add-ons (and a still not working manager) I have disabled all add-ons, restarted, and enabled them one by one. Enable, restart. Enable, restart. Then, randomly, it just doesn't work anymore and freezes. I have done this many times and in totally random orders. It does not happen on any specific add-on, and always happens some where between 21 and 27 enabled. You can imagine how frustrating this is, since the add-on manager offers no way to mass-enable or count add-ons.
Finally, I receive no red flags in the error console and have exhausted my Firefox debugging knowledge. I receive no errors when running from the terminal either. As I said, all add-ons are functioning correctly. I have done other combinations of things, if it's a logical off-shoot of anything I mentioned above then I've likely done it. I've searched everywhere, Bugzilla, Google, individual add-on bugs, etc. to no avail.
Sorry this was so long, but if I can't manage my add-ons there's simply no reason to continue using Firefox, but, since it's normally the best browser around, I don't want to face that option. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the answer the-edmeister. I am aware that using 3.6 and 4.0 on the same profile breaks things. I don't do it and never have. In fact I don't use 3.6 at all. What's the point? The only reason I know that it happens with b10 is because I downloaded it just to see. I have been using exclusively pre versions for quite some time with little issue.
As for the version numbers, thanks for explaining that a bit more. I can see that it goes deeper than the .rdf, but I have to reiterate that all 23 of the add-ons that don't break the add-on manager have the correct version number or "4.0.*" They are all popular add-ons that are updated regularly, so if you choose to "doubt" that's up to you :) Installing any of the offending add-ons breaks the add-on manager...EVEN ON A FRESH PROFILE. This may be some crazy fluke, but it happens on every fresh profile I make. "Fresh" meaning starting completely from scratch; I do not import one single thing from the old profile. I had hoped to get that across before.
I check for add-on updates manually already. I have all automatic updating turned off. Checking for updates does not fix the problem. I have no "button at the bottom of the Extension Manager window," that may be a Windows/Mac thing. The button for updating add-ons on Linux is at the top. It has a drop-down menu with various options, I assume that's what you mean?
This is a fresh profile. I'm using Linux. Done the profile business several times.
It turns out that the add-on manager will work correctly if I change the data in install.rdf to reflect the correct version, although it still seems to choke up, that is, slow down considerably, when I have over 30 add-ons installed. I have had to restart to get it to load twice, but at least it still loads. I have 37 enabled / 2 disabled right now. This is more than usual due to my experimenting, but thus far my theory is holding true.
If the version # in the install.rdf is correct the add-on manager works as it should.
If I disable add-on compatibility checking and install add-ons that are marked as NOT compatible from AMO the add-on manager works as it should.
If I install an extension marked as compatible on AMO but has the wrong version # in the install.rdf the add-on manager freezes, crippling the browser. This happens every time. Whatever Firefox is supposed to be doing with extensions.sqlite is failing.
Here are some of the offending add-ons that crash the add-on manager unless I manually change the install.rdf version #:
Download Statusbar,
Friendly Bug,
Firecookie,
BBCodeExtra,
Memory Restart,
Omnibar,
Stylish Custom,
Yexplore
All those add-ons work fine when installed from AMO, but crash the add-on manager. If I change the install.rdf file, they no longer trash the manager. I may be missing some things somewhere, I am not a developer, but the causation is clear. I can reproduce this again and again. Seriously, over and over again, on fresh profiles. To reiterate, the underlying issue may be something I don't understand, but this is specifically, without fail, what is happening.
Any insight you may have regarding this issue is more than welcome.

I can't find the Secure Zone in my Site-Manager.

I'm a creative cloud member and I can't find the Secure Zone in my Site-Manager. There are only Web-Formulars and System-E-Mails. What do I have to do?

Hi there, the creative cloud site you get is only a web basic plan. You do not have those features, you will need to upgrade if you want them.

Business Catalyst Site Manager Only Showing Web Forms

I am having a horrible time trying to just apply and setup a template in business catalyst. I have gotten to the point where you add the HTML {tag_pagecontent} into a page in muse. Now I went to my admin panel and went to the site manager drop down. All it shows is web forms and system emails! Isn't there supposed to be buttons for templates etc?! I hope someone has the answers, btw I am using a trial site currently but that shouldn't make a difference right? Thanks in advance.

I figured it out, I had to click on my name in the right corner within the BC admin. Then click on my details and scroll down and check box the "enable web editing" and save. That made all site manager options available.
