I would like to be able to build and maintain a website for my financially strapped public library as a service to them and then build a site for my genealogy. When I taught I developed our school's first website using Adobe PageMill about 12 years ago. I have forgotten most everything I knew.
I recently updated my Mac OSX version to 10.4.11. The rest of my profile is the same as shown.
I have been looking into the Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 and I have several questions. First, is this a good choice? Should I also purchase Fireworks CS3 and Contribute CS3 to make the job easier? (Or do I really need everything included in the Adobe CS3 Web Standard package?) Will my present computer system be able to handle this software? Do I need to upgrade my memory?
Also, should I consider downloading PageSpinner to work with in addition to Dreamweaver or will I be confusing myself more?
I have picked out some instruction books on developing websites and using Dreamweaver and I catch on to using software quickly, but I'm not sure about my hardware.
I do some website work on the side (my own site, weddings, and a few non-profits) never really for money, just for service in kinc or fun. I currently use 8, and have an opportuinity to pick up a super cheap copy of CS3 from a friend who is migrating back to Windows.
Is it worth $100? What are the new features. I was lead to believe it makes CSS layouts extremely managable and had some cool new stuff.
So I just got Dreamweaver CS3 in the mail today and tried to install it. I bought it from a retailer online because I learned on CS3 and didn't want to have to learn a half-new interface. It was also A LOT cheaper.
So the problem is, I get 1/3 way through the install and Setup ejects the disc. A message pops up saying I need to insert Dreamweaver CS4 disc. It has an option to Cancel or Ok. I hit Ok and the message just pops back up. I hit Cancel and I message pops up saying the user terminated install by request. It then list that it successfully installed the Shared something and failed to install Dreamweaver CS3 and a bunch of other apps that came with it like how Photoshop comes with Bridge, Device Central, etc. I think this is what's causing the problem because most of these extra apps are CS4, but I don't know how to not install these things. I do want them installed, I think, but they are causing this problem, I think.
Anybody knows where I can download a trial version of Dreamweaver CS4. I would like to try it before purchasing it. I tried adobe.com but they don't have it anymore, they just have CS5
I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.5 on a Macbook Pro Core Duo, 2 meg RAM.
Dreamweaver CS4 installed just fine, and starts up just fine, linking to the web site home folder on my computer just fine. Problem is when I attempt to connect to Host I get the following message:
An FTP error occurred - cannot make connection to host. Dreamweaver cannot connect to host "ftp-dom.earthlink.net". This may be due to one or more of the following reasons:...
I've made all the adjustments and corrections suggested thereafter in the error window, but to no avail. I've even did a clean install of the software, and have also did a complete wipe of my hard drive and reloaded all system software and application software from scratch, and still the same problem. The Adobe site's information and links to forums dealing with this problem have been no help whatsoever.
My connection is through a DSL protocol, both hard wired (via Ethernet) and wireless, depending on where I'm located. Have no problems with other internet related connections with other software that accesses the internet.
My Dreamweaver 8 application, on the same computer, loads up just fine and connects to the host just fine with no FTP errors whatsoever to which I'm able to do any updates, work on the site, etc, with no problem, whether I'm connected via a hard wire Ethernet connection or via a wireless connection.
The problem appears to squarely set with Dreamweaver CS4 itself. I also had the same exact problem with Dreamweaver CS3, and got so frustrated I simply dispensed with working any further with the CS3 version and have continued using Dreamweaver 8 as a result. I really need to make the change to CS4 now as my business needs are closer to requiring its use.
I am at present studying Dreamweaver at home on my Mac Pro OS10.6.8.
Part of the process of making a webpage, one has to open it through the internet. Firefox is my choice but unfortunately when pressing F12, Firefox opens but does not open my Dreamweaver based work.
I have searched online and it appears quite a few years back alot of people were experiencing the same with their (now older) versions of Firefox.
I'm finally looking to move from GoLive to something more modern and ready for the future. I got RapidWeaver as part of MacHeist, but I find it a bit too restrictive. I'm a WYSIWYG kind of guy.
Adobe, in their infinite wisdom, does not allow for an upgrade from their old web development program to their new one. This means I'll have to pay the full $399. for Dreamweaver if I decide to go that route.
I'm intrigued with the news about Softpress' new version of Freeway, which is out this month. Anybody here have experience with this product?
I'm less than enamoured with SoftPress' own site, which is text-heavy and lacks screenshots and clean design. Not a great advertisement for the software itself.
However, the Pro version is half the price of Dreamweaver and seems to have a lot of the core functionality. Being an InDesign user, their appeal to designers who want to engage in web design is compelling.
Can anybody here vouch for this approach? Is there any good reason to pay double the cost for Dreamweaver?
I have just downloaded Dreamweaver MX onto my mac and when I try to launch the software I get this message: The application "Dreamweaver" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "7<Dreamweaver MX><Dreamweaver MX><MSL_All_Carbon.Shlb><>". I'm using Panther at the moment.
I have a Macbook Pro. I have a copy of Dreamweaver MX 2004 and Adobe Photoshop CS that I would like to install on this machine. Both of these programs are backed up on an external harddisk.
I used to to have a copy of this Photoshop working on my mac, but a few months ago, it stopped working, and I haven't been able to get it up and running since.
Here are the specs of my Mac:
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
So far I have basically tried copying these programs onto my machine from the external disk, but with no success.
Is there anyone who might have any idea what is going on with these programs, and how I can get them working again my machine?
I'm manually moving files to a new hard drive and need the files for Dreamweaver CS4 so I don't have to setup new sites again. Are they in the User > Library > etc...? Or System > Library > etc...? I tried copying the user library Dreamweaver files but it didn't work. Just to be clear I'm not talking about the individual files for my site, I need the preference files? Not sure what they are called, .plist? The ones that will restore Dreamweaver with the correct directories and stuff.
i am using dreamweaver 8 and am making a website. On the website i have a page where people can view/download pdf directions. I have it set up so you can view the PDF directions in the browser but i want to add another button where they can directly download the PDF straight off of the site without having to right click anything or open anything.. To make it short i want to be able for the user to click text that says "Click Here" and for a PDF to automatically download to their computer.
I've just upgraded from an iBook (OS 10.4) to a MacBook (10.5x). Since my old version of Dreamweaver MX refused to open on the new system, I downloaded the 30-day trial version of DW CS4 (my time is about half up). It recognizes my website, but when I open it in site view, it doesn't display any of the file names. If I mouse over the empty white space next to the little file icons, the name appears, but it's impossible to work on the site this way, of course. I posted my problem in the Adobe forum with no response; I've googled my way through bazillions of other DW-OS 10.5 problems, but haven't found mine. Maybe I'm missing something completely obvious, but I've been using DW for many years and have never seen this weirdness before
I am taking an evening course on web design. I am learning with asp to connect to an access data base. The computers are all Pc and all works fine. When I try to do the same on my mac it wont work. Is is just not possible or is there a work around?
I recently got a new Intel iMac. When getting it started it gave me the option to load everything from my old iMac to the new one, which I did. Since the transfer my 2004 Macromedia Dreamweaver Education Edition (old and sad, I know) won't open on the new iMac. It will act like it is going to start up but then quit just 3 seconds later. Will I have to reload Dreamweaver or is it just not compatible with Snow Leopard?
How can I restore Dreamweaver 8 from a Time Machine backup? I no longer have the CD, and I would like to be able to use this for some of my web design. Here's what I've done: I copied all Dreamweaver 8.0 and all related applications to my HDDs Application folder. I tried to run it, and it said that I needed to reinstall. I thought that I would come here and ask what files I need to copy and where they would be on the backup. Or, could you tell me where I could get a trial version of Dreamweaver 8, I'm fine with using torrents, but no cracked versions.
Dreamweaver doesn't work after Yosemite upgrade, it asks to install Java Runtime SE 6, I've tried that, I've also installed latest Java and it still won't boot, keeps asking for for Java Runtime SE 6
I'm basically after some suggestions or advice. There are two of us in this house both with two macs each and so all our machines are running OS X. I have downstairs my parents old desktop machine (Core2 Duo) running XP blah blah blah. But they have laptops now and aren't in the country atm. I want to put a new hard drive into this machine and create a server.
Our needs are fairly basic. This server needs to be a file server (for ~ 2TB HDD space), a print server but also a MySQL and PHP server. So far I've fired up iATKOS 10.5.5 onto the machine but I'm trying to keep this operation as legal as possible.My question is really about a linux server. A linux server is able to host a bunch of HFS+ partitions because I've tested that out before but I'm not sure it would work as a print server. How compatible would OS X be with a server (as described) running something like ubuntu or ubuntu server edition?
I used photoshop to slice my image file. I save it as a html and image file. I save the html part as the index.html. I open it in dreamweaver cs4 and center the sliced images. Now when I take an ap div tag file and put text in it, all looks fine. Now here's where I run into problems. When I resize the screen, the sliced image files centers fine but the ap div portion of it doesn't move with the slice images to stay in it's perspective spot.
So how do I make it where the ap div layer stays in perspective to where I put it no matter what the screen resolution is?
