Getting started with Dreamweaver on existing web sites and several developers
The company that I work has two existing web sites; an one site of 'brand', which is the most often text and graphic content, the other an ecommerce with a lot of .NET components site. We have three people working on the sites now, two on the content, code, and a couple of outside contractors. (I'm the coder). Two guys contained both use Dreamweaver, but mostly just for editing HTML on the live sites. As we moved into a situation of development more demanding and added more than players in the game this approach seems undesirable.
Can someone point me to a resource that deals with existing websites in Dreamweaver and using Dreamweaver features to help manage a multi-developer project, on several sites?
I have a chapter in the Bible of CS4 Dreamweaver called Web sites with a team that covers a lot of what you are looking for including the standard Check-In / Check-Out, Design Notes, reports, help, Visual SourceSafe and Subversion.

No, you will not be able to use the Muse in this way. Muse works that a .muse file Muse itself generates.

I need help in opening an existing Web site
I try to open an existing Web site and change it. When I click on get I see a folder and when I open it to any advice I receive is the graphics.
Sorry, no, I'm not an Adobe employee, (there is really not much here) I am just a user of software like you.
Look at your site settings...
1. go to Site > Manage Sites, and then click the site that you are trying to work with
2. click on edit
3. under servers, click the remote server
4. click on change
5. under Basic, you must have your FTP address (usually yoursitename.com for GoDaddy, it can sometimes be an IP address with other hosting companies), your username and password, then the root directory
6. under the root directory, make sure that you have one of the two /public_html/ or httpdocs / (call GoDaddy to check the type of server that you are using so that you get the right root)
7. test the connection
8. If it works, when you connect using the window files expanded (with the server on the files and from left to right) you should see a list of files, including your index.html, some GD files formmailer.php and missing.html page and all the rest of your current site files.
9. If you see this list, click on Get and DW should prompt you with "Get entire site?
10. click on Yes and the entire site will be downloaded to your machine. From there, open the file locally, edit and download

I have update my Fire Fox version 25 several months ago. I then started to receive messages from Web sites and my yahoo email account I was using an outdated version. Then, I updated to beta 26 and I still have the same problem. I am using Windows 7 on my PC. Never had any problems with Fire Fox until the 25 upgrade. I deleted the cache and cookies without effect. Should I uninstall Fire Fox and start all over again.
Before Firefox 4.0 a few extensions added stuff to the useragent which can make the AU stay stuck in this version. Your AU seems to be user Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; RV:1.9.2.16) Gecko/20110319 YFF35 Firefox/3.6.16 FBSMTWB

I reinstalled Dreamweaver and realized that I had lost the connection to my existing Web site. Would appreciate any help on how to find the necessary information to reconnect.
You need to get your hosting provider. There is no other way unless you saved the definition of Site somewhere on your computer.

I have Dreamweaver CS6 and want to know if I can edit an existing Web site built in front of Page if I have the user name and password, and how do I go about this?
Hello
You must define a site in Dreamweaver and need to set up your FTP server. One for that, you can connect with the FTP server where your FrontPage is loaded and you can get the copy of the said locally.
Link below explains how.

I'm transferring my entire website from my old Web host at GoDaddy. How to copy all my files (in Dreamweaver) to my Web site from the server, it's on now, on my desk? So I can then connect you to my new server with GoDaddy and transfer all of the site?
If you don't have local copies of your site on your computer...
1 create a new Site definition using your old FTP GS-01 information: definition of a new site. Learn Dreamweaver CS5 & CS5.5 | Adobe TV
2. Once you have the defined site and can connect, click on the Get (down arrow) command in the files Panel
3 when you are prompted to hit "get the entire Site? Yes
4. After downloading the entire site, navigate to the Site > Manage Sites > click the site > Edit > servers > click on the remote server > Edit to enter your new GoDaddy FTP Info
5. after the test connection to check, you can connect, click the command Put (up arrow) in the files Panel
If you have a site already defined for your old Web host, go to #4 above.

I have an existing WEB site, not created with Muse. Can I import the pages and update / change with Muse.
Unfortunately not. Muse is a street in this regard. You can download the assets of the existing site, but you will need rebuild the site of Muse.
I hope this helps.

Editing on an existing Web site
Hi all
I have published new Web sites directly from Muse, but what I am wanting to know is if there is anything I should do to replace an existing Web site that has not been created in Muse with one that was established in Muse.
If I publish directly from Muse, it replaces the old site?
Any help would be appreciated thanks.
Hello
If you have downloaded from the site on a third-party host then Muse will export the files to the root folder you provided. If the current site has a file that has the same name as the NCBs of the file created by muse then it will overwrite it.
If you want to completely get rid of the old site then I would advice you disable your folder root using your hosting provider and then download your Muse site to your FTP host.
Adobe help Muse | Download a Site from Muse Adobe on a third-party hosting service
If you have published the site using the "Publish to Business Catalyst" function then you need not to worry on the old site and you just point your domain name to the catalyst for business servers.
Add a domain name to your site by using an external DNS service
Feel free to answer in case you have another doubt.

make changes to the existing Web site
my org is an existing Web site, the Director made using Muse. I need to make minor changes to the content (not really a page layout). I have the files on my computer (pc) in html, that Muse seems to open. I have the password, find out about hosting and ftp, etc how to download files from the remote host to make changes with Muse and then publish?
Unfortunately, you cannot change the HTML in Muse. You will need the original file of Muse. You can edit the files in Dreamweaver or another text/web editor if you the code.
