Can't import/open HTML files in Fireworks CS4

I'm trying to import/open HTML files into Fireworks CS4 to do some redesigning. I inherited the job of redoing my companies website and we believe the person who created our website created the site using Dreamweaver 8. Unfortunatley that person moved on to a new job across the country and we can't ask him exactly how he created our website.
When I try to open some of the HTML files in FW I get the message: "Could not open the file....Fireworks could not find an HTML table in this file". Next I tried creating a new, very simple HTML page in Dreamweaver CS4 that contains just a few lines of text and 1graphic (we just bought the CS4 web suite). Again, I get the same error.
Other files give me a slightly different error message when trying to open them in FW, "The HTML document contains one or more images with absolute web addresses for the source. Fireworks cannot handle these images. --click OK-- (next error message) Could not open the file. Fireworks has encountered a problem with the HTML in this table. Verify that the HTML is valid"... and then it closes and nothing loads into FW. Bummer.
I've searched on these forums and can't find any solutions to this problem although I found a few people experiencing the same problem.
Do I need to do something to the Dreamweaver created HTML's to get them to open in FW? Any help would be appreciated.

Fireworks is a graphics editor that can export code; it is not an HTML/code editor.
If you have exported HTML from Fireworks, you ought to be able to re-import that, but I would think most people who use Fireworks exported code would just modify their Fireworks document and re-export. (Fireworks' code is not robust and it is only intended for mockups and prototypes. Fireworks is not intended for developing and maintaining live Web sites; Dreamweaver is.)
If your developer used Dreamweaver, then I really don't expect that Fireworks would be able to import that, nor any code that isn't in exactly the format that it can export. If you know your developer used Fireworks, then you need to look for .png files. Fireworks uses an enhanced version of the PNG format for its native document format.
If you are making small adjustments to your site, then you might be better off working in Dreamweaver. If you're doing a site re-design, then Fireworks is an excellent tool for laying out your design and producing your graphics, but you will, at some point, need to move over to Dreamweaver for coding.

Import/Open SVG Files in Fireworks CS5!

Hey,
I really need to import/open SVG files in Fireworks CS5. I have been searching the Web for days now, but I can't find anything. The reason for this is that I get thousands of files sent to me in SVG format that I needto incorporate into my designs made in Fireworks. I solve it today by opening the files in Illustrator, copy each one of them, paste in Fireworks... WTF!
So please tell me someone made this easy for me?
Many thanks!

I also have this problem. I didnt exatly find a solution, however here's the way i learnt to use .svg without losing editability in Fireworks.
1. Download Inkscape as suggested by Joyce Evans Erb. Here
2. Open the SVG file you need to work with in Inkscape.
3. Go to File > Save As and select .eps (Encapsulated PostScript)
4. Open the saved .eps file in Fireworks.
Now you might get a bit of unnecessary space around the file but it should work out just fine.
Also, if you havn't already go check out thenounproject.com . It's a great resource for us Fireworks types.
As a final note, i'd just like to plead with Adobe to put a bit more effort into Fireworks. It's a great program that i feel is being dragged along with the suite. (Hope to see some really awesome stuff in Fireworks CS6.5 *wink* )

Can No Longer Open html files

I Fireworks 8, I was able to save a web page as a complete
document to the local drive and then open it with Fireworks to work
with it. With CS3 all I get is a totally white canvas. I have
checked that my preferences are all set the same, and they are. I
use this feature all the time for a variety of functions, i.e.,
combining slices to make one gif, etc. Am I missing something - or
is that function no longer there?
It shows it can open Html files, but it will not even open
it's own exported html files. Get "internal error." The file is
fine ( and it just created it.)

No, it is not a bug at all. It is all about how you do this
and understand the primary functionality of Fw itself, and how it
do for you. If you don't fully understand how it works, then you
have problem trying to understand how it works and what's not.
Then, perhaps that you clearly do not understand the
functionality of Fw CS3, and how it relates to exported HTML files
created by Fw CS3.
It is very common, wide misunderstanding among other,
especially with newbies using Fw app, and they thought that if Fw
could create HTML code. Actually, it was created by side of
pre-scripted coding inside the app itself, and that it does the
rest for you.
As for working with sliced images around Fw CS3, as any
legacy versions of Fw, the concept of sliced images is often up for
the air and debates. Everyone have different opinion about sliced
images, and what not and what's cool.
I personally dislike sliced images. If having lots of sliced
images, means slower downloading time and more codes involved.
I get the feeling that you really not understand how Fw
works, and how it relates to your question about HTML code in Fw.
Please try to understand that FW itself CANNOT edit HTML. It only
just exports html code for you. However, it is important to note,
it is NOT perfect html code.
It is best IF you work with pre-scripted HTML code in
Dreamweaver, or any web authoring app to work with HTML directly.
If you are not taking my advice, so be it. I am out of this
discussion. End of discussion!
And good luck!

The reasons for opening an html file in Fireworks have
nothing to do with Dreamweaver or coding, just images and image
manipulation. If open html is an option, as it is, it should open
the file. It used to open with all slices intact, and all html code
behind it. Now it just opens a white page.
It is a bug and problem since it does not do as it should.

Ever since the last update I don't have my old bookmarks, can't add new ones and can't import my HTML file. How do I fix this?

ever since the last firefox update I don't have my old bookmarks, can't add new ones and can't add my HTML file of my bookmarks

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Why can I not open PDF-files in InDesign CS4?

Hi,
Well then, as I wrote in the headline... Why can I not open PDF-files?
I get a notification that says that either the file is already open (which it's not) or it is missing a plug-in thingy for this kind of file.
So, how do I know which plug-in thing I should chose from Adobe which will solve my problem?
Could it be enough just to update the program? I tried with 6.0.6. upgrade but it wouldn't even open up. I'm not so good at this type of computerproblems (choosing upgrades, plug-in etc.). The program is not upgraded for a long time, unless it do it automatically, but I think we've chosen it not to....
Please help!

Opening CS5 files in Fireworks CS4

Hi all,
I work at a web dev/design company, and we are very eager to upgrade to CS5. However, there are just two of us that use Fireworks extensively (and I mean, we both use it a LOT!). If we were to upgrade, we'd have to upgrade everyone, and this would cost us a bunch of $'s.
If we were to only upgrade 2 of our users from Fireworks CS4 to Fireworks CS5, would our colleagues be able to open CS5 files in FW CS4?
Has anyone had any experience with this?
Thanks for any/all suggestions!

I just opened a small graphics file I created in FWCS4 in FWCS5 without any problems. It's possible that if your files use features that don't exist in CS4 you'll have problems opening them.

Help Need-All of a sudden can't import/open .OMF file without Logic quit

Hi all. Been a looong time since I posted but I'm back with a serious dilemma. I'm working on a short film with a deadline that's coming at me fast and furious. I just picked up an updated version of the .omf file and all of a sudden it won't load without logic quitting on me. What's going on? My Logic beahavior has seemed a little off but not noticibly disfunctional lately. do I need to toss my prefs? How do I do this if so? I'm always worried I'll delete something I can't recover...
I think that's about it. Let me know if I need to clarify the situation. This all worked fine a couple weeks ago. I'm using the powerbook 15" template video for NTSC. I'm clueless now and really need help. THANKS!

Nobody has any idea why this might be happening? Can anybody at least cue me in on how I should go about dumping my LP7 prefs and then replacing them or updating them again?
thanks!

How can I import a pdf file into numbers so it will open with a click

How can I import a pdf file into a spreadsheet so that it will open with a click?

You can link to a webpage or an email in Numbers-- that's it.
The best way I found to do this is to enable websharing on your machine (see this article if you are running 10.8: http://lowendmac.com/crews/12lc/web-sharing-mountain-lion.html)
You can then place your pdf files in the folder /Users/<your user name>/Sites/<somefolder>
Then link to this using the url "<your machine name>.local/~<your user name>/<somefolder>/<pdf Name>
My machines name is "Proton" (you can get this from the System Preferences > Sharing pane)
My user name is "wayne"
so I stored a pdf file (DM00027543.pdf) in the folder "/User/wayne/Sites/PDFTest"
and stored the URL "http://proton.local/~wayne/PDFTest/DM00027543.pdf" in the "URL" field of the Hyperlink inspector

How can I import an ibook file back into iBook Author?

I exported an ebook from iBook Author thinking it is the equivalent of saving the file.
I did not save the file, I only exported it and than exited the program.
My active file is vannished.
I need to make some adjustments to the ebook, but can not bring it back up.
Is there a way that I can re-import the iBook file back into iBook Author?
When I open iBook Author and try to open the exported file the program does not recognise the ibook file...
Thanks for your help!

Check for previous versions of that book in iBA....even if not saved.
You can dig into the .ibooks file by changing the suffix to zip, but you'll have to manually extract what you can from assets you find. Please only do this with your own books.

What kind of audio did the camera record? For example, the Sony NX5U can be set to record linear PCM audio, which will not import into CS4. If the same camera is set to record AC3 audio, then the clips should import and play as expected. This thread may help:

How can I turn off the "open in tabs" in Fireworks CS4?

I found out how to do it in Phoroshop CS4 ( preferences> interface, uncheck "open documents in tabs) but I can't find an option to turn off the "open in tabs" for Fireworks. I realize that I can open documents in tabs and then drag them apart, but it would be much preferable to have each document open in it's own window as they have in previous versions of Fireworks. I frequently need to compare documents side by side and tabbing back and forth is doesn't work for me.
Thanks!

Hi,
Are you on Windows or MacOS X?
For Windows version, not sure this can be done.
On Windows XP, see this example path:
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Adobe\Fireworks CS4\English\Fireworks CS4 Preferences.txt
Close Fireworks CS4, then open this file Fireworks CS4 Preferences.txt with Notepad and find key:
<key>OpenNewDocumentAsTabs</key>
<bool>true</bool>
Change the "true" to "false", save the file. Open Fireworks CS4, and see if there's any difference...
On Windows XP, I do not see any difference. But I see that once I have floated one of the files open, all the next files I open, become floated too (not opened as tabs!). So this may help you maybe?
If you are on Mac OS X, search for a similar preferences file for Fireworks CS4 and see if it helps you edit "OpenNewDocumentAsTabs" key from "true" to "false".
Not sure if this helps you much but at least I tried...
If nothing helps, this is my suggestion:
1) Open Fireworks.
2) Open a file, "float" it away from the tabs area and it will be un-docked and then, all other files you open later, will be not opened as tabs...

How can I import iPhone Garageband Files to Mac Garageband?

How can I import iPhone Garageband Files to Mac Garageband? I've found lots of threads about this but no direct answers/how to.
Thanks

With the latest build of GarageBand on the device, move to the My Songs view, tap the Edit button at top right, select the shaking song you want to export, then tap the sharing arrow symbol at top left, tap iTunes, then GarageBand.
Connect the device to iTunes, select it in the left-hand column, then select the Apps tab. You should find the exported file in the File Sharing area of the GarageBand app and from there you can copy it to your computer, then open it with the GarageBand application.
