Dreamweaver CS3 under Mavericks

I just upgraded my Mac OS from 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) to 10.9.4 (Mavericks). My copy of Dreamweaver CS3 no longer works. The error message reads: "You can't open the application Dreamweaver because Power PC applications are no longer supported." The Adobe website says that there should be no problem with CS3 CS4 and CS5 under Mavericks. Any idea how to solve this problem?
Thanks

Just a quick additional comment:
If you are going the Freeware route, I can recommend Kompozer as an alternative that runs well on Macintosh. If you are looking for a plain text editor for Macintosh, Bare Bones software makes Text Wrangler, which does provide strong code-hinting. I have used BBEdit, which is $50 (and they'll let you try before you buy) along with Dreamweaver to compare differences in code as well as doing the kinds of search and replace stuff that Dreamweaver just won't do (like grep type searches for patterns in text). BBEdit totally rocks and I purchased it after one use.
If I'm working with BBEdit and not Dreamweaver, I will set up a browser (usually Firefox with Firebug) to help me look at what I'm doing and BBEdit on the other side. With a large monitor, you can see what you are doing while you are doing it.
What you don't get (and things I still rely on a lot) are Dreamweaver's handy tools for inserting an image and Dreamweaver's ability to template a website so that you build a master page and any changes to that master page (as in navigation, a new header, changes to the footer and so on) are updated globally. Also, if you have bulleted text but it's not formatted correctly, Dreamweaver lets you do ordered and unordered lists very quickly from a series of paragraphs. So it's a better visual tool for me.
I used Kompozer a number of years ago after I got sick of how N|vu wasn't being updated often. It's easier to use than a TextWrangler/Web browser combo.
My father is 81. There is no way he'd be able to do a website. So I wish you good luck.

Dreamweaver CS3 and Mac OS 10.4.11 Incompatability

I have been using Dreamweaver CS3 under OS 10.4.10 for a few
months without significant issues... but after upgrading to 10.4.11
there is a significant problem.
I am unable to access any of my remote servers to upload
files to the sites I have built.
I was able to reinstall Dreamweaver 8 and it works fine with
all the same setups
I've read a technote on a noted problem with Dreamweaver CS3
and Mac OS 10.5 - but it also appears to happen on 10.4.11
You can read the 10.5 technote here:
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb402780

I have not experienced this problem. Try removing the DW CS3
preferences file in your Library and then let DW build a new one.
BTW, what error you are getting when you try to FTP?

Dreamweaver CS6 and CC both very slow page rendering under Mavericks

Dreamweaver CS6 and CC both very slow page rendering under Mavericks compared to 10.8.5
Any ideas?

One other thing I am seeing:
When I open any document (html, javascript) inside DWCC now, then close it without any changes, DW asks if I want to save changes.
I just tested this under 10.8.5 and there is no lag there, nor are documents mysteriously modified when opened.
Note: I have tested this both with and without other Apps or extensions running in Mavericks and 10.8.5

Errors when trying to INSERT Dreamweaver CS3 ASP scripts into MySql

Greetings everyone,
I am hoping that someone can shed some light on an issue I have not been able to solve in the last few days. I have a website that I had built using Ultradev, then MX then CS3, using the default ASP scripts in dreamweaver and an odbc connection to an Access Database. Everything had been working fine for the last couple of years until recently where more people were visiting my site which resulted in the slowness because i was using access. I decided to move to a MySql database and that is when I ran into issues. I was able to solve most everything accept for one issue I am having. I was hoping it would be an easy transition by changing the ODBC connections but it has not been that easy. Any page I have with an INSERT command using the default Dreamweaver CS3 ASP script results in an error. Now I can query and delete and search with no problem...it is just the INSERT that is giving me issues. Here is just a general insertion script that CS3 does by default....

Is there a special setting on the MySql that I should know about to allow data to be inserted? Any help would GREATLY appreciated!
Thank you!

Thanks for your reply!
When it was in Access...the datatype was Text. I used a 3rd party software to convert Assess directly to my hosting MySql server. When I logged in to see the table in MySql, it is set to Varchar(3) for yeshot and Varchar(30) for userhot. There is also an extra field I used for the KEY called commentID which is set to int(11) and it is autonumbered. Under the Collation i have utf8_general_ci set on the yeshot and userhot field. Null is No on both and the Default is set to None and all 3 fields.
I have a form I am collecting that data from which is:
<% If (langname.Fields.Item("langname").Value)="FR" Then
         response.write("OUI!")
         else
         response.write("YES!")
         End if %>
<input name="yeshotf" type="radio" id="yeshotf" value="1" checked>
                            <span class="style10">
                            <input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" value="VOTE!">
                            </span> -

</form>
....the form has 2 radio button and 1 hidden field where I collect the username. The radio value should either be a 1 or a 2 depending on the selection by the user. I also have a captha on the form but that does not seem the cause any problem since I am not collecting any data from it. Does this help? I left the yeshot field as Text but I can change that to Numeric data... again thanks for your assistance in helping me try to figure this out.

URGENT: Dreamweaver CS3 crashes while uploading any PHP File

Hello,
My Dreamweaver CS3 crashes everytime I try to upload any PHP
file to the Web Server. It does upload the file but crashes and you
received a "Not Responding" error in the Windows title bar. I did
search alot on this issue until I found the ".
Dreamweaver
CS3 crashes after DST ends" problem. I deleted the cache file
as required but of NO HELP.
. It is very annoying to restart Dreamweaver
everytime you want to upload any PHP file to the Web Server after
editing it. It doesn't happen with any other types of files. Please
help me guys here or I will lose my mind.

Bad news for you too.
First, you are not addressing Adobe here in the user forums.
Secondly, Adobe does not support CS3 any longer because it hasn't been sold for years.
Therefore, you're left to the good will of fellow users who volunteer their time here free of charge, if one of them has a solution to your issue. No one is under any obligation to reply, so ask nicely.
One thing I can tell you is that you have not applied any of the versions available for Photoshop. Unfortunately, the Adobe auto updater was an unmitigated piece of cr@p in any version prior to CS6. Do not rely on it to assume you are up to date just because it doesn't show any updates available to you under Help > Updates.
You need to look for the downloads and apply them manually yourself.
I can't offer any more assistance because I don't do Windows. Sorry.

Disappearing palettes in Dreamweaver CS3

After launching Dreamweaver CS3 on my MacBook Pro in Mac OSX
10.4.9, I discovered that my insert bar, properties palette and
many of the other palettes had become transparent with only their
title bars visible. Clicking inside the invisibale areas simply
brought the desktop or whatever was visible underneath to the
front. I searched for every forum and Google search with no luck.
If anyone else is experiencing this, I found the solution and offer
it here.
There is a conflict with Unsanity's ShapeShifter interface
customization program. When ShapeShifter is enabled, it will cause
palettes in Dreamweaver CS3 on an Intel Mac to become transparent.
To resolve this, go the System Preferences window and click on
ShapeShifter. Click on the Exclude List tab, click the Add button
and select the Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 application icon and click
Add.
Relaunch Dreamweaver and everything should be back to normal,
except that the Dreamweaver interface will return to the original
Aqua scheme.
Apparently, this happens only in Dreamweaver CS3 and no other
Creative Suite apps seem to be affected.

There's another fix that saves the cosmetics at the cost of a
little speed. Make sure Dreamweaver is closed. Select the
Dreamweaver CS3 application, then Get Info. Check the box to run
the program under Rosetta. Close Get Info. When you relaunch
Dreamweaver (assuming you haven't added it to Shapeshifter's
exclude list), it will open with the palettes showing properly and
with the Shapeshifter theme applied.

Kolletion supported in Dreamweaver CS3?

Hello, is the latest version of Kolletion supported in
Dreamweaver® CS3?
If not, will it soon or will it be called something else?
What’s up with updates, or new versions?
Thanks

I just got this from the Kollection fourm:
04-03-2007 16:23:18 GMT +2 Cristinel ANASTASOAIE [InterAKT
Online]
Hello Mark,
I just spoke to a guy called Martijn Koopmans at Adobe
Technical support (UK number) and he spoke to their Dreamweaver
"Expert" who confirmed that there WILL be a new version of
(Interakt) Kollection released for Dreamweaver CS.
We can confirm that there is a new version of Kollection
planned around the CS3 release. This version will address the
compatibility problems we have with Dreamweaver CS3 as well as
browser and OS compatibility issues.
It will not be available at the launch of DW CS.
The new version will be available around the Dreamweaver CS3
release.
So, got that - Martijn Koopmans, an employee of Adobe, has
catagorically stated that there will be a new version of the
Kollection extensions for Dreamweaver CS. So it must be true eh?
Yes. It is true. A new product version will be released under
a new name. It will be available on the online Adobe Store.
He also said that no features of Kollection have been built
into Dreamweaver CS.
This is also true. No features have been built into
Dreamweaver CS3 because the InterAKT acquisition came in the middle
of Dreamweaver development cycle. Moreover, even if some features
will be included in future versions, it is highly unlikely that
they will be included as is.
Sincerely,
Cristinel

Dreamweaver CS3 Paste HTML Problem

Hi, I'm a fairly basic user of Dreamweaver CS3. I used to be
able to paste HTML into webpages with no problem. I have recently
upgraded to CS3 and that menu command (Paste HTML) seems to have
gone. Can anybody help?
Thanks, your help would be appreciated!

If you want to paste the actual HTML code into a page, just
switch to
Code view, and paste.
Copy, cut, and paste in Dreamweaver are context-specific. If
you copy a
section of a page in Design view, and paste it in Design
view,
Dreamweaver automatically copies and pastes the underlying
HTML. If you
copy in Code view, and paste into Design view, Dreamweaver
assumes that
you want to display the code (as you might want to do in an
online
tutorial), so it converts all the angle tags into HTML
entities and
displays the tags and attributes in the page.
The simple rule is copy and paste from Code view to Code
view, or from
Design view to Design view.

ColdFusion Login Wizard: How do you access this in Dreamweaver CS3

The 'ColdFusion MX 7 Extensions'

to the 'Coldfusion Login Wizard' available under

Dreamweaver CS3 instead CS4 for optimization on older hardware . . .

Dreamweaver CS3 instead CS4 for optimization on older hardware . . .
I do design for print and every year more and more customers have asked me if I would design their web site after I have designed their brochures and other collateral. For the last nine years I have never found the time to learn web production. I purchased Adobe PageMill and then upgraded to Adobe GoLive 5 but I have never found the time to learn these programs. But lately, requests for web design have persisted. I downloaded the trial version of Dreamweaver CS4 but it is too slow on my 1.25 GHz MDD Dual G4, running Mac OS 10.4.11.
So I purchased the Dreamweaver CS3 upgrade, which was still available from Officemax.com. I also purchased "Dreamweaver CS3: The Missing Manual" by David McFarland. I'll be going through the tutorials on weekends trying to become functional with Dreamweaver.
I'll be using it in WYSIWYG mode and not as a HTML coder.

I would have been happy to make DWCS4 my first step up to Dreamweaver but with it not officially supported on G4 Macs and all the menus at the top running way too slow, I needed to stick with what is officially supported for the G4 by Adobe, Dreamweaver CS3.
It is possible that future updates of DWCS4 will be more optimized and do OK on my G4. It is also possible that running my outdated version of Font Reserve 3.1.4, under Mac OS 10.4.11, is slowing down the menus on DWCS4 on my machine even Acrobat 7 Pro gives me slow menus with my current set up.
InDesign CS3 is fast enough on my system and IDCS4 runs just as fast as IDCS3 on my Dual MDD G4.
I don't think I will be getting an Intel-Mac desktop and laptop until 18 months from now.

Printing to an Epson 7900 under Mavericks

Anyone experienced problems printing to an Epson 7900 under Mavericks OS X 10.9 ?
According to Epson I have the latest drivers installed for the 7900, V9.04
I have 2 MACS - a MacBookPro running under Mountain Lion and I've updated my MacBook Air to run 10.9.
No problems printing the same file from the MacBookPro.
On the MacAir, I certainly see the printer; can send a file to it - but it prints and is terribly garbled. I see supply levels on the MacAir too.
But the interaction with the Driver is strange - it keeps reverting back to my HP 2100, Updating the settings in the printing Presets doesn't stick, etc.
the print is an almost total mess - it's the right size and you can see the image and some parts are fine - but the rest of it looks like it's done with drastic motion blur (so that looks like the driver is scrambling something).
If nobody else has seen this, then I will start by deleting the driver; re-installing it all and so forth - but just interested to see if anybody else out there has had trouble with it.

Using Kuler + swatch exchange files in Dreamweaver CS3

What is the "best practice" for taking a swatch exchange file from Kuler and getting either the swatches into Dreamweaver CS3 or the html color values.
I like using Kuler to develop test color schemes for my web sites and switching css sheets to determine which colors I like best.
Right now the method I use is save the Kuler thems as swatch excange files, load the swe file into my swatch palette in photoshop, get the html values with the eye dropper tool take those values and paste into my CSS file. Is there an easier way?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi rocketboy,
To get swatch values, an alternate to using the picker tool in the product is to directly use the website. You can ge the swatch values by selecting a theme in the browse view and then clicking on the make changes ot this theme button which will take you to the theme creation view with all the color values located at the bottom of the page under the corresponding swatch.

Dreamweaver CS3 enable synchronization

I have recently installed Dreamweaver CS3 and created a site. For this site, I wish to enable synchronization. However, when I go to the the Site Definition window (Click on "Site" from the menu, then "Manage Sites," then select my site and click "Edit," then click the "Advanced" tab, then choose "Remote Info" from the options on the left), the option for "Manage synchronization information" is grayed out. As a result, the "Synchronize" button (the two arrows running in a circle) in the "Files" section is grayed out, as is "Synchronize sitewide" under the "Site" menu.
How do I fix this to enable synchronization?

How is your remote server currently set up?
I could pull out the old iMac and set something up similarly to test it in my CS3 and see if it was a version specific issue. It could also be that you have something wrong in your remote server settings that would make synchronization of files impossible.

Dreamweaver CS3 problem

Hi guys, I have just installed the new dreamweaver cs3 after
using dreamweaver MX for a long time.... but I have a problem. The
application apparently does not recognize files like .css or .php,
im having some file type association issues. How do i fix it??? I
hope you can help me...
thanks!

right-click on one of these types of files.
pick "open with" and browse to and pick dreamweaver.
put a checkmark in the box where it says:
"Always use the selected program
to open this kind of file"
repeat for the other files types.
Or- go to My Computer
Under the top menu, pick Tools-->Folder options-->File
types and change the
settings for those file extensions.

Dreamweaver CS3 won't run with OS 10.9

How can I use Dreamweaver CS3 with OS 10.9?

You can't. Or at least, you shouldn't.
I'm pretty sure CS3 would require "Rosetta" which Mac OS X hasn't supported since Snow Leopard (OS 10.6)
It ran on some of the early Intel Macs, but you should be using CS4 or newer with Mavericks and a 64 bit Intel Mac.
