Compatability with front page

Can one convert an active front page data into dreamweaver or does installing dreamweaver require all new data entry??

It's been a while since I heard anyone making use of Front Page!
Do check if your site is not using any Front Page server side behaviours, though - but probably in your case that would not be the case. To be sure we would have to see the actual website in question, so please provide us with a link.
If you really want to get into Dreamweaver, at least a medium level of html and css is required. Dreamweaver *is* very complex to get into, and the interface not the most intuitive one around. It is quite powerful, though, but I often feel that to appreciate DW the user requires a fair amount of web coding experience. That said, there are many tutorials and books available that teach and explain DW.
As an alternative to Dreamweaver, you might want to have a look at Microsoft's Expression Web, which is the "real" successor of FrontPage. While Expression Web was discontinued last year, it is still a good modern and powerful visual web editor, and is now a free download at the Microsoft website:
http://www.microsoft.com/expression/eng/
Of course, Expression Web is no longer under development, and Dreamweaver still is. Having said that, you mentioned your needs are not that great, and Expression Web may provide a slightly easier transition into more modern web page design for your existing website.
Also, an open source alternative would be Kompozer: http://www.kompozer.net
Quite similar to FrontPage and other wysiwyg web editors, and very easy to use. Though obviously not nearly as powerful as either DW or Exp Web.
Download the trial of DW, download Expression Web and Kompozer, test the waters, and base your decision on your own experiences with these.
Btw, there also exist purely visual web page editors like Adobe Muse and Xara Web Designer - though importing existing websites may be more difficult with those type of tools.
And do not forget to have some fun exploring all the options!

AirTunes compatibility with Front Row

In the AirPort Express FAQ, it says:
Question: Can I use other applications, like QuickTime or Windows Media Player, to send sound to AirPort Express via AirTunes?
Answer: At this time Apple only supports sending one AirTunes stream to AirPort Express via iTunes 4.6 or later.
What does this mean for Front Row? Is Front Row just a interface for iTunes and hence works with AirTunes, or not. I see in the Front Row forum people asking many questions about getting volume control with Front Row and AirTunes, so it seems like the FAQ description sounds more limited that the reality.
I am particularly interested the ability to watch a movie (that has been loaded into iTunes) using the Front Row interface and piping the sound out to AirTunes. In this case, would Front Row be using iTunes (and work with AirTunes) or would Front Row be using QuickTime (and not work with AirTunes)?
If movies in Front Row will work, will it work for all movies loaded into iTunes -- e.g. not just mov files, but also avi files supported with QuickTime plug-in to make them work in iTunes? And, if avi files loaded into iTunes would work, would it work for both movies physically stored in /iTunes/movie folder, as well as 'reference movies' stored in that folder pointing to files stored elsewhere?

Per the Wikipedia AirPort article, no video in iTunes. Apparently, there are 3rd party utilities that can pump any program sound output (Mac and Windows) to the AX, not just iTunes -- which is handy, say, if you want to play Pandora in Safari. However, even these programs say they are useless for video. Apparently, the AirTunes protocol delays playback 2 to 10 seconds for buffering. Delay in audio playback aren't a problem, but with video, the sound and picture would be out of synch.

Dreamweaver from Front Page

My web site is in front page and has not been updated recently because of that. I would like to convert to Dreamweaver. I understand all the inconsistencies with Front Page and realize I can't just do a import. I just want to have roughly the same thing in Dreamweaver; a simple page with navigation bars.
I have been searching in vain trying to find how-to convert-material. For example, the Adobe site has an introduction page "Customizable starter designs for beginners" (probably what I need) but the link takes me to a non-Adobe site discussing CSS.
So I am looking for some get up and go information for Front Page users to allow me to REBUILD the web site (with cut and paste of course) in Dreamweaver.
Thanks,

Hi Fred,
In the time that the experts on the forum get back to you, have a look at a similar discussion where this topic has been discussed extensively.

Dreamweaver 8/Front Page editing

A quick question for someone...If I build a basic website in
Dreamweaver 8 and upload it to a server, can it be edited by
someone else with Front Page, whether they download it from the
server or I give them directly the files?

I wouldn't dream of combining DW and FP on the same site.
And, if the site
has been built with templates in DW>4, FP won't know what
to do with the
template markup. Also, if you have used DW's Library items,
or Server-side
includes, FP won't know what to do with them either.
It's likely to be a long, slow, train wreck.

Compatibility of Microsoft Front page 2003 files with Adobe Dreamweaver 8

Compatibility of MS Front page files with Adobe Dreamweaver 8
We have developed quite few HTML and Gef files in Front Page
and wondering how much work is involved if we want to use
dreamweaver now.
This will be great if you could sned us a document about the
compatibility of Microsoft Front Page with Adobe Dreamweaver 8.
We appreciate your immediate reply.
Thanks

Sure there was. It was central to all of FP's enhanced
capabilities.

It's much more than not being editable. They will be broken
if you FTP
files to the FP site.

Technically correct, but woefully understated.
From FrontPage to Dreamweaver (With CD-ROM) by Joseph Lowery
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0789726882/qid=1013348638/sr=1-10/ref=sr_1_10/002-5 917334-6040854
(watch the wrap!)
Before doing anything else, take a couple of weeks to
gothrough the DW
tutorials, and also to study HTML and CSS. The more you know
about those,
the easier your transition will be. DW expects alot more from
you than FP
did, and as a result, you may find it much more frustrating
to have the raw
reality of web development staring you in the face rather
than the wizards
of FP.
> Is there a way to convert a Frontpage site into a
> Dreamweaver site
1. I'd define a Dreamweaver site that points to a location on
your hard
drive for the local site's root, and to the current FP site
on the web as
the remote site
2. I'd use Dreamweaver (if your host supports FTP
connections) to download
the remote site to the root of the site you just defined on
the hard drive.
This will pick up all the pages *after* webbot action so that
shared borders
and all are already present in the page HTML. This will also
pick up all of
the server scripting. Note - in the event that you are not
able to connect
using FTP since some FP hosts block that protocol, you will
have to use a
third party 'site copier' like Black Widow, QuadSucker, or
WebCopier, (or
even the DW extension called SiteAssist from WebAssist) to
connect and
download using http protocols. Doing it this way will *not*
retrieve any of
your server-script code, if any (unless you have used the
WebAssist
extension).
3. I'd create a DW template for the pages, that captures the
"shared
border"
effect you had in FP.
4. I'd copy and paste content from each FP pages to a new
template child
page and then save the new child page with an easily
identifiable
nomenclature that is distinct from what was used on the FP
site (since you
are saving the new child pages into the same local site as
the FP pages).
5. When the basic site is completed, I'd upload the new DW
pages to some
staging area/webspace, and by using the browser, I'd verify
that the site
(as it now exists remotely) is complete.
6. Then I'd create a *new* DW site in a new location on the
hard drive, and
connect to and download all the files from the staging site.
7. You can now delete the original FP site from your local
system if you
want.
You now have a complete site (minus any of the FP extension
server-side
code) that has no FP footprint.
If you have used any FP server extension functions on the
original FP site
(form processing, guestbooks, tables of contents, etc.), you
will have to
recreate those functions in DW using 3rd party scripts, or
scripts that you
write yourself.

Problems in Front Page with Lightroom web export

I have no problem exporting my Lightroom web gallery into Front Page.
However, once in Front Page there is still some manipulating that needs to be done to get the gallery functional. Could you please help? If you have step by step instructions on what to do in Front Page with the files that are created by Lightroom it would be appreciated. I think it has something to do with indexing but I can't figure it out. AHHH. Thanks.

You can use Export to, say a JPEG file, and both copies will be produced, then proceed from there. sorta a workaround.

Can iWeb make changes (update) to Web site made with Microsoft Front Page

Hello,
Our local historical society hired a web master to create a web site for us. He made it with Microsoft Front Page. I was able to make changes until my husband upgraded to Microsoft Office integral 2007. My question is: Would I be able to continue making changes or upgrades to this site but using iWeb '08 instead? I would much rather use my Mac than his IBM.
Thanks,
S Craig

No. iWeb can only create and edit sites that have been created from scratch in iWeb. What you might be able to do is download the files in the current site and use the image and graphic files to make a duplicate site in iWeb.

Working with existing website from Front Page

ok, am giving up Front Page as I migrate totally to my Mac. How do I open pages on my site that is already up so I can make changes and apply themes??
Thanks,
Jim in Chicago

Basically, you can't. If you want to transfer your site to iWeb, then you will have to re-build it totally in iWeb by copying and pasting from your existing site.
iWeb has no import facility and FrontPage/Expression Web as it now is, is a PC only program just as iWeb is a Mac only program.

Lots of reports with similar front page - can i use a template ?

I have a series of reports which all have a front page which displays user parameters, has a logo and date, time etc
Each report has some parameters that are the same and some that are different. I dont want to have to add and maintain a header section for each report.
Is there a way that I can define a generic front page report or template that is applied to each of the reports ?
Thanks

hello,
the reports templating does not work in the basis of re-use. when you apply a template, the content of the template is duplicated in the report and no further connection betweent he report and the template is preserved.
what you might want to look at is runtime customization. maybe you can use this feature to create the header at runtime form a single XML customization file.
thanks,

LabWindows/CVI is taken out of NI's front page

I have an impression that LabWindows/CVI is listed in NI's front page as LabVIEW.
But it's not.
You have to click into Products & Services to find LabWindows.

As mentioned by D_Biel in your post, we value the input we receive from the Idea Exchange, but there is a balance among various sources of feedback including bug fixes and compatibility. It can take time, but features do get implemented as shown with the release of CVI 2012. There may be more ideas than we have the bandwidth to implement, but I definitely think that the Idea Exchange is a step in the right direction, laying a foundation we can build off of for receiving user feedback, but with anything there is still plenty of room for improvement.

I have hidden unwanted books from the purchased area of the iBooks store, but they're are still appearing on the front page of iOS as cloud downloads, is there a way to remove these from iBooks without using the hide iCloud books button?

I have hidden unwanted books from the purchased area of the iBooks store, but they're are still appearing on the front page of iOS as cloud downloads, is there a way to remove these from iBooks without using the hide iCloud books button?
Let me explain a little more. I had downloaded a lot of free books in the past as a trial when iBooks was first released and since then I have decided I no longer want them, because of this I hid them from the purchased section of the iBooks store. The 5 books left are ones I decided to keep as seen in the following picture.
This is how it appears in iBooks on my mac. There are 4 books downloaded and 1 book that I have decided not to download at this time. I would still like to keep this book available in the cloud incase I want to download it again in the future. You’ll notice that hide iCloud books is not selected, if I wanted to hide the book that I have chosen to keep in the cloud, but have not downloaded yet I could.
This is exactly how I think this feature should work. If you have hidden a book from your purchases it should not show up in the mac Ibooks app. (I am aware you can never actually delete a purchase, just hide them and that hidden purchases can be restored to your account from within the account management section of the iBooks store).
The iOS app is working differently for me. Here is a picture of the purchased tab on the iBooks store in iOS Ibooks. Again notice that pictures of Lilly is still yet to be downloaded. This is how I expected it to look.
If we visit the front page of iOS iBooks the view is very different from what I expected. Here we can see the 4 books I wanted to keep on my device and have downloaded. We can also see the 1 book I wanted to keep, but did not want to store locally on the device and left in iCloud (Pictures of Lilly). However we can also see all the books I had hidden from the purchased section of my iTunes account and which I believe should no-longer be visible, Dracula, frankenstein etc…
I am aware of the hide iCloud books button within the iOS app, but I did not need to use this to hide the books I had removed from the my purchased section of the iBooks store on the mac, why are they still appearing in iOS?
I’m still not sure if this is a software glitch or not. This article suggests to me that books can be hidden, but I had already completed these steps.
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201322
A browse of google also suggests people may have been able to hide past purchases from the front page of iBooks on iOS in the past.
In case there was an issue with syncing I tried logging in and out of my iTunes account via settings in iOS. Force closing the app, disabling automatic downloads and removing my device from iTunes in the cloud. Syncing with iTunes on the mac did not correct the issue either.
Interestingly I have the same issue on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.3 as I do on my iPad mini suggesting that this might be an issue either with my account or with iOS iBooks software in general.
If there is a way to remove the already hidden iBooks in your account from the front page of iBooks on iOS without using the hide iCloud downloads button? Please help community!

I have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3

i have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3.
the problem is best explained on the following one - page thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3951518?start=0&tstart=0
(Clearly i'm not alone in this problem, although i think i figured out what's going wrong a little more than he did...read on!)
his solution, to put mainstage in jump mode, is very unsatisfactory to me, as it bounces all of a sudden to drastically different settings.
basically, my analysis is that my controller is NOT receiving MIDI date from mainstage. in other words, mainstage knows what my controller is doing, but my controller doens't know what mainstage is doing.
let's say i turn the knob all the way to the right ... 127...and the virtual fader goes to the right like it's supposed to.
now...next...let's say i change to a different patch, where that same VIRTUAL fader is not at the max clockwise position..maybe it's only at 1pm. now when i turn the physical knob to the RIGHT, the midi data is still at 127 on the controller! it didn't "reset" to sync up with the new level (say 80 or so) setting on the new patch. so i can't increase that new setting of 80 by continuing to turn the knob to the right. i have to turn it all the way to zero,...and then continue PAST zero until the controller thinks that IT is at 0...at that point the controller and mainstage are in agreement, and things work fine....so bascially, the keyboard thinks the level is at max...but mainstage thinks the level is at 1pm.
i am using Logic 9, and i have a macbook pro 2.9 Ghz I7 with 8 gigs of memory and OS X 10.8.4

Creating a document with different page sizes.

I'm trying to produce a leaflet with different pages sizes. To try and explain what I mean I have included a picture of what I'd like the front cover to look like. When producing a booklet there doesn't seem to be a provision to individually alter each page size in the pages or document set up panel. Is there anyway around this or do I have to create each page seperately, export to pdf and then combine into the leaflet? Help gratefully received. tomas

The build booklet feature is for very basic booklets, not something like this.
Sorry, but you’ll need to make everything full size and then do the cutting.
