Dreamweaver CS3 Activation Issue

I have tried Phone and Online support to no avail. I have a copy of Dreamweaver CS3. I just got a new PC and need to move everything over to the new machine. Both are Windows 7 PC's.
On the New PC, when I install everything it is not able to authenticate via the Internet for some reason. So, when I contacted support for the Authorization Code the two he gave me came up invalid and he told me to post my problem here that he could not help me any further.

Hi SIWeb,
See Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CC, CS6, CS5.5 - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html. It is likely that your host file had entries for Adobe added when you installed some other software title.
Thanks,
Preran

Dreamweaver CS3 FTP Issue on Mac

Background Info
My Mac laptop which I had been using perfectly fine for over a year with connecting via FTP in Dreamweaver headed off to the shop last week for an unrelated power issue. In its absence, I purchased a Mac Mini to continue with my design work. I used the migration assitant to replicate the exact settings of my laptop on my new desktop from a backup of the laptop. The fixed laptop was returned to me yesterday.
Issue
I went to upload some site changes I had made from my laptop and up pops the FTP error that there is no respnse from server (http://img.skitch.com/20090810-8muhscacixyxkuidwkc2yiimba.jpg). I tried again with the same result and just thought perhaps that sites server was down or similar. I moved on to another site and I get the same error, and with the third site, I decided it was an obvious pattern. I then decide to try uploading the files with the desktop that I had purchased, and it uploads without a hitch.
So any thoughts on why things would work as usual for the new desktop, but never connect (the FTP log is empty) on the laptop sitting right next to it?
Thanks for your help!

Thanks Samantha for posting back a soution - I'm sure it will be helpful to others in the future :-)

Dreamweaver CS3 Slideshow issue - skipping photo 1

Created a slideshow for a client at: http://www.cknodinedesign.com/portfolio_belclaire.html
It loads just fine and advances normally, except it never returns to photo 1. (from photo 7, it jumps to #2, and vice versa).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim

That's great. CS6 has many improvements. But no built-in slideshows.

I am trying to reinstall Dreamweaver CS3 from the CD after having computer issues. Now getting error "You can only install one Adobe product at a time. Please complete the other installation before attempting to install ......." There is no other Adobe product installing. I have used the Adobe Cleaner Tool many times and uninstalled other Adobe Products but neither has worked. I have uninstalled/reinstalled this CD version of Dreamweaver several times when changing computers and after having computer issues. A google search of the problem suggested it may be an error related to the number of times I can reinstall this product due to licensing issues. Please help.

A google search of the problem suggested it may be an error related to the number of times I can reinstall this product due to licensing issues.
Absolutely not. You are misinterpreting things. The activation check never happens when just running the installer, only much later. It means what it says - there is another "install" pending/ active on your system, meaning somewhere there is an (invisible) process still blocking things. Either way, since you haven't provided any real technical info, we can't advise specifically. if you are on Windows, you may want to check your task manager and terminate any setup.exe and msiexec.exe processes plus potentially may need to manually fix/ delete some registry keys. For anything beyond that you will have to be much more specific.

Active X fix in Dreamweaver CS3 is breaking...

Hello All-
I have searched until I am blue in the face and most of the
issues around the Dreamweaver fix for "click to activate" issues in
IE revolve around the end user in this case ME not uploading the
scripts to the site...well I am lucky enough to understand that key
step and have left it as Dreamweaver wants to do it, by installing
in the root of the site in the Scripts folder, I have also moved it
to the same level as the index.html and everywhere in between with
no Avail... In IE after adding the automated scripts Dreamweaver
includes I get a big fat Red X...Anyone else having this issue? I
have updated Dreamweaver CS3 and it on the latest and greatest, all
i want to do is embed the youtube video on a page. Any Ideas?
To get to this I did the following: New html file, grab embed
code from any youttube video, paste, save, close, open file again,
allow dreamweaver to add the scripts and change the embed code,
save, upload including the two scripts, open in IE and view a nice
fat red X...
Please see link below for the example...
Here is the broken
code
Thanks in advance.
John

It ain't gonna work. In your case, you are falling afoul of
the script
itself. Here is what you have -
<div><p>Youttube embed</p><script
type="text/javascript">
AC_AX_RunContent(
'width','425','height','355','src','
http://www.youtube.com/v/bkeycliUjSg&rel=1&border=0','type','application/x-shockwave-flash ','wmode','transparent','movie','http://www.youtube.com/v/bkeycliUjSg&rel=1&border=0'
); //end AC code
Note that the FILENAME for the swf file in that line IS
MISSING THE "SWF".
This is because DW assumes that you are not going to be
linking to a file
with URL variables like you have there
(&rel=1&border=0), and it
automatically inserts the SWF there giving you a bogus link,
e.g.,
http://www.youtube.com/v/bkeycliUjSg&rel=1&border=0.swf
See what I mean?
For something like this, use this method -

Hello,
what concerns your wish about an uinstaller, so you should use
https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs3-product-downloads.html >>> AND note this "Read before you download a CS3 product". And esp, "You need your CS3 serial number to complete the installation" but this shouldn't be a problem for you, because you had an official version and so you can use all these informations like https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html

Dreamweaver CS3 (9) maxed CPU slow performance and FTP issues.

Dreamweaver CS3 (9) maxed CPU slow performance and FTP
issues.
Never mind...I found it.
Of course I have all the firewall, worm, scanning, phishing
filtering, full time protect, and everything else turned off when I
am working on a remote/testing site however I found the Symantec
antivirus email scan being enabled (doesn't it just interact with
my email program?) was getting in the way of DW9 ftp operations,
causing some lagging that was putting DW9 into an unstable mode
during and immediately after (10 seconds) ftp operations.
The CPU still spikes to 99% during ftp functions but DW9
works even though it's likely taxed to the max but when I turn off
email scan DW9 returned to a functioning state during ftp and
remote file view. Whatever it takes huh?
PS: email scanning only never effected DW8.02
My System Info: properly configured (as in: everything works

Thanks for the response. I managed to Google the 'nobody' account and found the explanation.
As you say, I assumed the 'syslogd' process had to do with system logs. I did check the console and couldn't find anything of particular interest in the logs.
I'll continue to monitor but if anyone has any further suggestions please post.
One thing that might also have an impact... my available drive space is now down to less than 5gb (runs anywhere between 1gb and 5gb free depending on what I'm running). I know this causes problems for Parallels as it keeps moaning at me, but would it cause any problems with OSX?
Thanks again,
Tom

Dreamweaver cs3 deactivation/activation problem

<Edited by moderator>
Please can someone help with this problem ?

Broadcasting your serial number to the entire internet probably isn't going to help things in the activation department.
Can a moderator delete that?

Dreamweaver CS3 3 column CSS footer issue

Has anyone used the Three Column Absolutely Positioned Header
and Footer (thrColAbsHdr) CSS template in Dreamweaver CS3? If so,
has anyone figured out how to address issue of Sidebar1 and
Sidebar2 content floating over top of the footer (instead of
growing and pushing the footer down)?
Adrian Senior appears to have addressed it regarding the
twoColElsLtHdr CSS...
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/css_concepts_pt3_cs3.html
I've tried his suggestion and it still doesn't appear to be
working properly with this CSS/template (thrColAbsHdr).

Example 3-column CSS layout:
http://alt-web.com/TEMPLATES/3-col-fixed-layout.shtml
CSS divisions do not produce equal height columns. You'll need to trick the eye into thinking they are equal buy using a repeating background-image that tiles down the page. This technique is called Faux Columns.
You can see a crude example here:

I bought and legally own PS CS3. Installed on a desktop and the machine died completely. Downloaded a trial of CS3 from Adobe site. Went to activate and said too many activations. Activate over the phone. EXCEPT Adobe does not handle activation issues over the phone. Adobe doesn't care about their older products - they don't care that I spent hundreds of dollars for CS3. This is truly disgusting corporate behavior. Is there anything I can do? We aren't all rich photographers. I paid a great deal of money for this product. Is it now useless?Thank you,
James Scott

HI James please contact the Adobe Chat Team for activation issue

Dreamweaver CS3 Split View Issue

Hello All,
I just got the new dreamweaver CS3 and when working in split
view nothing is refreshing correctly. What I mean is, if I click on
some text in the design portion of dreamweaver to try and change
the font, css assignment, or whatever I cannot. I have to click on
the text, hit refresh (f5) and then the correct information in the
properties panel shows up. I have the same problem when selecting
something in the code portion of the split; it does not select the
portion in the design section. What is the deal? Dreamweaver 8 did
this fine.
Anyone else have this problem?
Alex

What OS? Does the problem happen with all files and all
sites, just some,
or just one?

What does doesn't work mean?
Once the user has logged in, can you output the MM_Username
session variable to the page (in particular the page that the log
in user behavior has set for a successful log in)? You can do that
by simply selecting it in the Bindings panel and dragging into the
design view then previewing the page (after you've logged in of
course).
Also to get better responses (and more folks looking at it),
you should probably post this in the Dreamweaver Application dev
group:

Dreamweaver CS3 and Windows 8 Issues

I have Dreamwever CS3 and Windows 8 and I keep getting errors that can only be resolved by closing down DW and losing the work I have processed so far. I happens mostly when I use extentions such as Webassaist Data Bridge. I have visited their forum but they advised me to checkout you trouble shooting service.
Please advise
tonytanner257

Hi,
If Dreamweaver is working fine without the extensions, I am not sure if we should be troubleshooting Dreamweaver. Just to be sure, Windows 8 is not a supported version for Dreamweaver CS3. It could possibly work, but wouldn't have been tested on Windows 8 as Adobe supports only the previous two versions of any software.
This is my best answer. You could wait for other experts for their opinion.
Thanks,
Preran

Dreamweaver CS3 Flash Video Issue

I have Dreamweaver CS3 running in OS X 10.4.11 all updated.
all of a sudden when I go to insert a Flash Video into a page I get the wheel of death and DW is frozen. I formatted the video in Flashconverter and it plays fine in mpeg streamclip.
The Insert dialog opens and I can chose the flash video and then hit detect size and the controls I want. and then I hit ok and the wheel comes up and never goes away.
If I create a new sit it will let me add the video.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks
