Dreamweaver CS3 vs. Cross platform

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out exactly what I need to purchase, is
it the Dreamweaver CS3 or the cross platform upgrade. Our offices
currently have a PC and use Dreamweaver 2 but we just purchased an
iMac and would like to continue using the webpage date that was
created on the PC Dreamweaver 2. What do I need to purchase for the
iMac in order to do this?
Thanks for your time.

Dreamweaver 2 is extremely old and you will not be allowed to
upgrade it under Adobe's policies. You will need to just purchase a
new copy of DW CS3 if that is all you need.
This would hold true if you stayed on the PC side as well
because you are only allowed to upgrade from the previous 3
versions which are 8, MX 2004 (7), and MX (6).

  • DW CS3 cross-platform check in/out file locking

    Here is my setup:
    * Apple X-Serve file server (as a mapped drive on several
    Windows XPsp2
    machines and a shared drive on one Mac 10.4)
    * Up-to-date Dreamweaver CS3 on every machine (3 windows, 1
    mac)
    * Enable file check in and check out (site preference for all
    installations)
    * Contribute compatibility (site preference for all
    installations)
    The problem is that when a file is checked in on the mac, the
    file becomes
    locked such that the windows machines can't check out the
    file. All of the
    windows machines check out and check in files with no problem
    if the mac hasn't
    touched them. Once the mac has checked in a file, I have to
    "unlock" the file
    via the right-click context menu on the file. (This unlock is
    called "Turn off
    Read Only" on the windows version.)
    Windows FTP Log on check out after mac check in:
    /.../public_html/help/faq.php - locked
    /.../public_html/help/faq.php - error occurred - An FTP error
    occurred -
    cannot get faq.php.
    /.../public_html/help/faq.php - unlocked
    Apparently the Mac DW CS3 version of "Check in" and the
    Windows DW CS3 version
    of "Check in" are different and incompatible. Has anyone else
    had this problem
    or know of a solution? Removing the Mac is not an option.
    This may or may not be related, but whenever a file is opened
    on the operating
    system other than last edited (mac opens windows edited file
    or windows opens
    mac edited file), the "Overwrite local copy" dialog shows up
    when checking out
    a file. When a compare is made of the server/local files,
    there are no changes.
    Both mac and windows have the same line ending settings in
    the preferences.
    http://www.hostingforum.ca/700363-cs3-cross-platform-check-out-file-locking.html
    I'm having exactly the same issue. Has anyone experienced
    this before, and if so have a solution?
    Thanks in advance!

    In your Site definition, you need to specify the Remote Info
    of your
    server, and then "Enable file checkin and checkout".

  • Cross platform CS on PC to CS3 on Mac does not work like video says

    Your video on cross platform workflow states that you can import older Premier CS files on a PC into CS3 on a Mac. I tried this and get the message, "this project was saved in a aversion prior to Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 and cannot be opened on a Mac. Please refer to the User Guide for import options." I guess I have to assume then that the video, www.adobe.com/go/vid0236, is wrong about this? Can someone please explain how I can salvage the work I did 3 years ago on Premiere Pro 1 on a PC when I am now exclusively working on the Mac in CS3?
    Thank you.

    Ty,
    This has come up a few times and the solution is to find a PC CS3 user, who will Open the Project and then Save it in CS3-CS4 for you. I does mean that you'll have to befriend a PC-person, but who knows, maybe you can reciprocate later on. In each previous instance, this workflow, PC to PC to Mac worked perfectly. Note: the same holds for Encore Projects, and there is some PC to PC incompatibilities between very early versions and later versions. I had to Open and Save an Enocre 1.0 Project in CS2, so a CS4 (only) user could then Open in CS4. This stuff happens, and the skip in Mac porting can play a role in it. If I had CS3 on my PC's, I'd do it for you, but CS2 will not hlep you.
    I believe that P 6.5 was the last previous version ported for the Mac, until CS3.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Can you still get a cross platform upgrade for CS3?

    I'm a mac user and recently purchased CS3 Design Premium for windows used -- does anyone know you can still get a cross platform upgrade from windows to mac without upgrading to CS4?

    I am very, very sorry to read that. My windows pc is just crashed because of a virus my payed anti-virus program could not deal with, and everything have to be cleared totally. (XP pro - browser used at the virus-time = Mozilla. Anti-virus program = The price winning PC-tools)
    Have to start all over again from scratch.
    Therefore I wanted to change to a new Mac machine for my CS3.
    I know I could upgrade to CS4, but do not need the CS4 for the time being, so I have to stay with Windows.
    Alle my other programs - Nikon - Topaz -  Nik-software - Hemi. - Jason Odell - have been so very helpfull and trusted me and have send me new keys - THANK YOU, you have a lot of problems when this problem happens, so they removed some of the stones, , but not Adobe, they said by telephone (I also tryed a mail, but no answer), that I have to sit at the pc for installing and then try to call them by telephone to get help for autentification, and nobody can promise me it will be the same day.
    Last time it took one and a half our to get through by telephone.
    I really love your program (CS3 extended) ....... but not this.

  • Flash CS3 versus Dreamweaver CS3??

    Hi all,
    i am about constructing a profotionnal web site...
    and i don't know the best and more wide and advanced software
    doing that,
    i am ezitated between Adobe Flash CS3 and Adobe Dreamweaver
    CS3 ??
    Is there another one better than these 2??
    Please advise me,
    Thanks

    I don't really think that learning Dreamweaver is easier then
    Flash. In the end, it's all up the everyone's personal abilities.
    Before you start building your web page, you should have a clear
    plan about what you are trying to create. Depending on that data,
    you will be able to choose between Flash or Dreamweaver. If you
    want an interactive web page with animations or simply with a more
    complex user interaction, then you'll be going for Flash ; on the
    other hand, if you just want something up an running, then you
    should go for Dreamweaver.
    PS: reagarding the "Flash is harder to learn then
    Dreamweaver", not really true. Why ? Because once you understand
    Flash and you start creating web pages, you won't have to worry
    about cross-platform compatibility. On the other hand, learning
    Dreamweaver will also imply learning, Javascript, CSS, PHP ( maybe
    not all three, but CSS is for sure ), and getting your site to look
    good on different browsers could easily end up in a huge waste of
    time and neurons... Both Flash and Dreamweaver have advantages and
    disadvantages, you must choose the one that suits your project the
    best. ;)

  • Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP coldfusion and PHP search?

    I am working through Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP
    coldfusion and PHP with the intent of creating a data base site
    that primarily requires a search engine on the index page. The
    search page in the book uses specific search criteria ensuring that
    there will always be a match to the data base but I need to create
    an input text field search engine. My Q, if there is no data within
    the data base that match the variable, will it return with an error
    requiring an argument in the code to respond to no matching data.
    Hopefully there are comprehensive online recourses for these search
    engines as they are so common. I am a complete newby to all aspects
    of web development and code so it will need to be a thorough
    explanation, an idiots guide. ANY HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED

    Rob,
    Let me try to answer your questions, understanding that my
    answers are laced with my experience and therefore my bias.
    1. For the most part the SQL that you write for Access, MS
    SQL or MySQL is going to be the same. I won't make that claim about
    Oracle or PostgreSQL because I have limited or no experience in
    those areas. To be sure when you head down the road with any DBMS
    there are finer points on 'value added' features (to over simplify
    things like MS SQL's Transact SQL), but for the most part when you
    are pulling out, inserting or deleting records the SQL that you
    write will be the same. In fact, I don't think I had to make any of
    the SQL in the book different to deal with the back end db.
    2. As for your host steering you away from MySQL, I don't
    know why that would be. It is MUCH more stable and robust than
    Access for web development. My research showed that you can use
    MySQL just fine with ASP though that clearly wouldn't be
    Microsoft's first choice.
    3. A quick aside, the fact that you are building ASP on a Mac
    would seem to indicate that you are developing on your production
    server. That's never a good idea. Go local if you can. If you have
    a newer Intel Mac you can use VM Fusion, Parallels or even Boot
    Camp to run Windows in a virtual environment and develop there,
    only moving your code to production when you are happy with it.
    There is of course the fact that they two environments would not be
    identical and you may need to change a few references, but it is
    still a better practice than developing on your live site. Some web
    hosts give you the ability to set up a subdomain. If yours does,
    you could set one up with a duplicate of your site and develop
    there.
    4. Let me try to pull your 'rant-let' apart into two issue. I
    begin with a question. I'm not sure what the Mac part has to do
    with it. The primary language I work in at my day job is
    ColdFusion. The majority of the most serious developers I know in
    the CF world work on Macs. I am forced into the PC world because of
    a cultural bias at the business school where I work. Having said
    that, the only time I have felt there was ANY difference in the
    tools, resources, choices I had was in any way affected by platform
    was when Adobe still had not released Flex Builder 2 for the Mac.
    Now that is behind us as well. This reaction of mine may be based
    on the fact that Access never comes into play in the work that I
    do. I regularly work with MS SQL and MySQL. (OK, so SQL Enterprise
    Manager, the MS tool of choice to talk to MS SQL is Windows only,
    but I only use that at the day job. But even there you can find
    cross-platform, free tools like Aqua Data Studio to talk from a Mac
    to MS SQL.) If I'm missing your point on the Mac, please let me
    know. Since the advent of the Intel Mac I think it is hands-down
    the best choice for a web developer. You can have Mac, Windows and
    Unix all on one machine. It doesn't get any better (providing you
    have the RAM :-)).
    As for the security question, it is somewhat analogous to the
    war on viruses and spyware. As the defenses get better, so do the
    attacks. Most languages have developed functions for vetting user
    input variables and best practices for building these things. It is
    mainly a user education issue. When I took over the book you are
    working out of, the one thing Jeffrey told me it needed was more
    security. I did my best to put more in under the constraints of the
    publisher. They didn't want the book to be any longer than the
    previous version. I did my best to modify the code used to include
    "string safe" functions and to add verbiage about the importance of
    security. It was clear that I could not add as much as was needed
    and I said so in the book. Much more is needed for a serious
    treatment of the subject and not acknowledging that would have been
    a disservice to the readers. I've been working as a developer for
    over a decade and I don't know all there is to know about it. It's
    a constantly changing field, just like all of web development. In
    fact next week I'm going through a 2-day SANS Web Application
    Security workshop in hopes of learning more. So at the risk of
    sounding like an industry apologist, I don't think it's a
    shortcoming of the development community. It is, as they say, "a
    developing situation".

  • How do I create a guestbook in Dreamweaver CS3, Plz Help....

    Hi I want to create a guestbook in dreamweaver cs3 my website is www.freewebzs.com
    Also it would be brilliant if you guys could help me and recommend me background colours, is there a free website I can get background colours from?
    And also what fonts and colours are most popular for websites.
    Im new to dreamweaver as ive just started using it so any advice would be great, thanks

    I have to agree with David, if you are new to DW, then creating a guest book will be difficult for you.  However, you don't have to re-invent the wheel, there are many guestbook scripts available to save you the time and certainly the headaches  :-)
    Take a look here for a selection:  http://php.resourceindex.com/Complete_Scripts/Guestbooks/
    As for colours kuler is good, but you can also look at;
    These palettes may help:

  • Are cross-platform upgrades allowed?

    I own a copy of Adobe CS3 for Windows. I have recently purchased a Mac, and need to get Adobe Creative Suite (preferably CS6) set up on it. Do I need to buy a completely new version of Creative Suite for the Mac, or can I buy a Mac upgrade version, and then use my serial code from CS3 Windows version to validate the upgrade version on my Mac? If I can do that, is it allowed to also buy an upgrade version of CS6 for Windows, and install that using the same CS3 license key to validate the upgrade version on Windows?

    Yes ,it is possible to upgrade from cs3 to cs6 & that also cross platform, yes it should  accept the windows previous version serial key , The Enter Serial Number Upgrade dialog box also accepts the Windows serial number{if not then contact Adobe support }.
    The best option is to place the order through the adobe sales team

  • No Pre-CS4 cross-platform upgrades anymore?

    I bought CS3.3 Web Premium for Windows 2 1/2 months ago. Before I purchased I confirmed with Adobe Customer Service that I can exchange it to the Mac version for free.
    This week I finally purchased a Mac and called Adobe to get the Mac version, and was told that my only option would be to upgrade to CS4 Mac (for $$$) and that they no longer sell / send out version 3.3.
    Can this be for real? I just bought it 2 1/2 months ago and they are no longer honoring their free cross-platform upgrade policy. It's hard to imagine that they don't have 3.3 in stock any more. It's not like I am requesting a CS2 Win to CS2 Mac upgrade. I just spend a lot of money, and now they want me to spend even more money...
    Any ideas? Anybody at Adobe reading this?
    Greg

    Now that makes sense. I'm beginning to thing that the techs and sales people at Adobe don't really know anything. I spoke to three, and none of them even hinted at that possibility.
    I also spoke to someone at Apple who said that their software couldn't damage the Mac's hardware, as well. It's hard to believe they'd keep it on the market without warnings, recalls or disclaimers, knowing it could do that much damage.
    Sure leaves a bad taste in my mouth about Adobe. Maybe it's time for me to look at other software.
    Thanks,
    Michele

  • Template Cross-Platform - Version Differences

    I created a template in Dreamweaver 8 on a Mac and sent it to
    a programmer using Dreamweaver MX on WIndows and the formatting for
    him is messed up. Divs aren't lining up where I put them. He sent a
    screen shot of his directory (which matches mine) and of the
    template within DW MX and the divs are out of place.
    Is this issue based on OS cross-platform, DW 8 to MX and
    differences in how those versions handle MX or some other issue?
    Thanks,
    Brian

    HTML is HTML, you know? It wouldn't make any difference if
    you were
    creating on a Mac, a PC, or a Linux box.
    But - DMX is a dumb bunny when it comes to any advanced
    layout methods. I
    imagine the problem you are seeing is due to DMX's inability
    to render CSS
    layouts properly. Is your colleague using DMX6.0 or 6.1? If
    the former,
    they should at the least update to the latter immediately,
    although that may
    not fix the problems either.

  • Who uses Dreamweaver CS3 on Mac OS X?

    Howdy,
    I'm curious to know how many of you here use Dreamweaver CS3
    on the Mac? Not bothered bout you Windows users, I've used it on
    there and it's fine (although bulky and slow).
    I made the switch to mac a long while back, and coming from
    Windows and HomeSite (oh how much I love homesite!!!) the natural
    move was to go to Dreamweaver. So I bought a retail copy (along
    with PhotoShop CS3) for quite a bit of cash, and I don't use CS3 as
    its pretty damn awful on OSX!
    By the way, I NEVER touch the WYSIWYG part of Dreamweaver
    (wish I could delete all WYSIWYG stuff from it, as that what slows
    it down I'm sure)
    To name a few bugs (I'd like to know if you experience these
    too):
    1. It's very slow and bulky, I mean just moving the cursor to
    a new line in code view is slow, just doesn't feel good. It
    actually feels like its about to crash on me any minute! And I'm on
    a 6GB 8 cOre 2.8GHz Mac Pro... so its not my Mac :)
    2. I set my toolbars up to my own preference (i.e. I like to
    have the "Standard" menu showing and the "Document" one not) then
    suddenly out of the blue "Standard" has gone and the "Document" one
    is there. Sometimes I boot up and all is good, open a document and
    it disappears (along with the line numbers on the left), right
    clicking says its still there but it isn't.
    3. Certain folders on the left file view REFUSE to close! I
    collapse them, open another folder up (uncollapse) and what do you
    know, the other folder pops open again. Close and open dreamweaver
    its open again... I've never manged to close this particular
    folder, dreamweaver really likes it for some reason?
    There are plenty more, but they are the main ones!
    The unfortunate thing is I cannot find a good alternative on
    OS X for syntax highlighting, the fact that HTML elements are
    coloured differently is invaluable to me, and thats one of the main
    things I love bout Dreamweaver (not to mention the global replace
    feature that other IDE's don't include)?
    Bring HomeSite to OS X is what I say :)
    What is your experience of DW CS3 on OS X? Does it all work
    correclty for you? Or are you annoyed by it too?

    I plotted my escape from Microsoft for years before I finally
    knew
    enough about software and the technologies I was using and
    had
    sufficient money to make the leap. (I went for a top of the
    line MacBook
    Pro.)
    On the negative side, I've learned that the Mac isn't a free
    ride.
    Upgrading to Leopard was a wrestling match, as was upgrading
    to Adobe
    Creative Suite (largely because certain sales people sold me
    the wrong
    upgrade package - twice). I'm also bothered by a number of
    annoyances
    that sometimes remind me of my Windows PC.
    However, I'm working with a far greater variety of software
    programs
    than I ever had on my PC, and the annoyances seldom turn into
    the minor
    catastrophes that made life with M$ living Hell.
    So far, Dreamweaver is working fine for me. The biggest
    annoyance is the
    fact that it likes to jump back and forth between "Spaces,"
    though
    Spaces remains my favorite Leopard feature.
    I'm sorry you're having problems with yours - and I was
    shocked to hear
    that that Rosetta crap also applies to Dreamweaver. I'd never
    heard of
    Rosetta until I had some problems with my browsers. Enabling
    Rosetta
    fixed the problem, but, sheez - all that Rosetta business
    sounds like
    something that came straight from Bill Gates' living room. So
    I'm not
    sure if the problem ultimately rests with Adobe, Mac OS X or
    both.
    Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the situation to
    advise you.
    However, if you live near a sizeable Apple store, schedule an
    appointment with their "Mac Geniuses." I've gone in to see
    them at 7
    a.m. a couple times - free of charge - and they were a big
    help.
    If you're using Leopard, I assume you've already installed
    the two
    updates - 10.5.1 and 10.5.2. Ironically, the second update
    appeared to
    create one of the very problems it's supposed to eliminate.
    (Whether or
    not it's actually a problem is a matter of debate in the Mac
    community;
    it hasn't actually caused any problems for me.)
    You might also try posting some questions on Apple's forums -
    http://discussions.apple.com.
    If nothing works, and you do go back to M$, I certainly
    wouldn't hold it
    against you. If Apple and/or Adobe don't have their act
    together, then
    you can't blame people for returning to a platform that
    works. However,
    I have much greater confidence in both Apple and Adobe to fix
    their
    problems in the long run than I do in Microsoft. Even if you
    get
    Dreamweaver to work on your PC, will your other software
    programs work?
    In summary, I've learned that there's no free ride in
    computing. But I
    still prefer my Mac to M$, and I don't believe I've heard as
    many
    complaints about Dreamweaver on a Mac as I have about Vista.
    But do
    whatever's best for you.

  • Cross-platform upgrade question

    I'm posting this question here as I have had less than satisfactory results from asking Customer Support about this issue. I know this forum is moderated by some great folks at Adobe and am hoping someone can clear up this question for me.
    I currently own CS3 Design Premium for Windows, and need to purchase CS5 for Mac. A search for "Cross platform swap" on Adobe brought me to this page: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405819.html. However, the instructions there don't match what is offered on the support page. Under Return/Exchange/Refund I have only the following options:
    Duplicate Order
    Product Didn't perform/ work as expected
    Purchased Incorrect upgrade
    Purchased Wrong Product/Platform/Language
    Shipping Problems
    Unable to Download Order
    Wrong Product delivered
    None of those options is correct as described in the KB article. I decided to chat with Customer Support, and the rep told me that all I had to do is order the upgrade and I could choose which platform to install on first run. Really? The Rep said CS5 included two discs, one for Windows install and one for OS X. He assured me that I would have no problem installing a CS5 upgrade on my Mac, even though I have never installed CS3 on that machine.
    I am skeptical about this solution for two reasons: one, Adobe has never offered Win and Mac discs together for CS versions. Two, when I go to pre-order CS5 I need to make a choice between platforms.
    Has Adobe changed its method of delivering Creative Suite products? Are both platform discs really included? If not, there are two things that need to be done:
    Article http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405819.html needs to be corrected. The steps as described cannot be completed.
    Customer Support reps need to be notified that they are providing incorrect information regarding cross-platform upgrade procedures.
    Finally, I need correct information as to how to go about upgrading my CS3 Windows to CS5 Mac. Do I purchase an upgrade disc and use my CS3 serial number to install? Do I do some sort of return, and if so, how?
    Thanks in advance to anyone from Adobe who is willing to take the time to answer my question.

    I don't represent Adobe in any capacity other than a mostly satisfied user. Here's what I did on a cross platform (Windows to Mac) exchange--not an upgrade, but my experience may help you.
    I, too, found that the directions didn't match the support web site.  So I used 'Purchased wrong...' as my subject.  I then completely described what I wanted to do in the comments section.  I included my current platform version and serial number in the comments. After posting I had a case number to enter onto the Letter of Destruction (LOD) which I then attached to the case. I don't know if a LOD is required in your situation as you will be paying for an upgrade.  You should be able to keep both packages active-but customer support will probably know.  In my case I had to certify that I had destroyed the original Windows package.
    After this was posted to the Adobe Customer Support Portal I then had a case number I could give to the telephone customer support so I called them.  While on the line with them they read my case file and informed me my credit card would be charged $5.95 for shipping.  Six days later I had the CS4 Design Premium for the Mac.  It *should* be just as easy for you.
    I must say that I have had to call Adobe Customer Support a handful of times in the last couple of years.  In each and every case I received prompt and accurate information that solved my problem or pointed me directly to the solution.  I am aware that this is not always the case and wish you good luck.

  • Using Dreamweaver CS3 on Windows 8

    Purchased Dreamweaver CS3 in 2008 - have upgraded computers to Windows 8 platform - how can I use the version I have?

    Hi Edie,
    Dreamweaver CS3 has not been tested and is incompatible with Windows 8

  • Cross platform, multiple versions, multiple architectures.

    I am fairly new to Illustrator plugin development.  I played around with the ADM on the Windows side and got that working.  Then realized we needed to build a plugin to run on Mac.  And although the SDK says you can target multiple platforms in the PiPL, it never really worked right.
    Now I'm working on Mac with Xcode.  I'm running CS5.  Some of the machines I'm developing for are running CS4.  I've tried building the samples from the CS5 SDK and they work on my machine great.  When I build the CS4 SDK samples the tester can't load the plugin. (LiveDropShadow).  Do you think it is the version of Xcode?  I targeted the right OS version... made sure of that.
    So next question.. can I build/deploy the same Flex UI in CS4 and CS5?  Any tips/suggestions?
    thanks,
    Will

    You can absoultely hit both CS4 & CS5, Mac & PC -- we do! Hell, we used to hit CS3, CS4 and CS5
    Your problem with CS5 & CS4 is probably that you're using a suite version that is only available in CS5. When Adobe updates a suite, they still make the old version available, but the headers will always use the version that shipped with their Illustrator by default (makes sense). So, for example, the Art Suite might be version 14 in CS4 and 15 in CS5. If you use the CS5 headers, kArtSuiteVersion is 15, but 15 doesn't exist in CS4.
    Its easy to see if that's the problem -- add a message if AcquireSuite fails and have it print out the suite & version that failed. If that's the case, you'll just need to look at the CS4 SDK and figure out what version it shipped with (likely one less than you requested!). If you're not using anything added in the CS5 version, just switch the types & version requested to the CS4 one and after a recompile, you should be fine. Of course, this may repeat for several suites It might be faster to look at what suites you're requesting and then just check each one. A fast way is to look in the legacy folder -- if theres an AI140*.h version of your suite, that means it was updated in CS5, and you'll run into this problem.
    As for the ADM, well, we had the same experience. That's why we switched to Qt. There are undoubtedly other cross-platform toolkits you could use, but that one will work (albeit with some work). The next version of Illustrator won't even have the ADM in it, so its definitely wise to avoid the ADM at this point.
    I'm not too familliar with Flex, but I believe you can hit CS4 & CS5 with the same UI. I'm not the one to answer that unfortunately, as we don't use Flex. There's another thread from the last week that discussed the finer points of 3rd party vs Flash UI that you might find useful. It should be one or two down from this one in the thread list.
    Good luck!
