Dreamweaver, Difference Mac vs. PC?

Hi
I am moving to a Mac and since I use Dreamweaver to build all
my sites, I was wondering if anyone have experince in working with
Dreamweaver on a PC vs. on a Mac?
Is it "the same", I mean are there any big difference apart
from the key shortcuts?
Appreciate your input.
Peter
Ps. I am using Dreamweaver CS3.

I have used DWW on the PC for years. I recently got a Mac and
switched over to CS3 for the Mac. I am very disappointed in the Mac
version. I find it to be buggy. On the PC version, I was able
(easily) to get DWW to recognize file extensions (for localization)
when I had all files in one folder. On the PC side, my templates
for my localized files would automatically update their files, and
search and replace would work in "all" files and not just the .htm
or .html files. On the Mac version, I did everything I was supposed
to do to get DWW to view my localized files as html files and it
does show them and edit them as html files, however it ignores them
completely when applying templates or when searching and replacing
through the entire site. All of my localized files (hundreds) are
ignored. If I want to waste my time and apply the templates to my
localized files one-at-a-time, I won't get anything done. I am
pretty disgusted. I am dumping the Mac version and loading the PC
version as we speak because I can't get anything done with the Mac
version.

What's a good wysiwyg menu widget for Dreamweaver CS6 Mac?

I'm trying to build menus in Dreamweaver CS6 Mac, and started using Spry...then learned that Adobe will no loner be supporting Spry and that it may not be as compatible with browsers in the future.
What's a good alternative wysiwyg menu widget for Dreamweaver that's makes it easy to create horizontal/vertical pop-down menus/sub menus? I'd be willing to pay for it if it's worth it. Would be nice if it worked within Dreamweaver using Design/Spit modes the way Spry does, but not essential. Thanks!

Project Seven are widely regarded for their commercial DW menu extensions.
PMM3 is one of the best I've seen
http://www.projectseven.com/products/menusystems/pmm3/index.htm
I have no affiliation with Project Seven other than as a happy customer.
There are other menu systems out there too but I've never used them.

Trade Dreamweaver CS3 Mac version for PC version.

Hello all,
I just mistakenly bought Dreamweaver CS3 Mac edition off of ebay. I need the PC version. Is anyone interested in trading versions or can anyone point me to somewhere that this is possible? Switching editions seems to be fairly common situation, but not possible with older versions.
Thanks

Not a very helpful answer. Anyway CS3 works fine on Windows 7 64-bit. No reason to spend hundreds on the latest and greatest for me.
Well you are trying to sell it to a place where people own later versions of the software. As long as the license is good, you may still qualify for the CS6 upgrade at the full retail price because of Adobe's cross-grade policy whereby you pay the upgrade price to switch your license. Basically you sign a letter of destruction and get the version for the other OS. Ultimately, Adobe is moving to solve that probelm with the cloud which works on both operating systems.
But I will have to agree with other sentiments. If you want to get rid of it, best place to look is on Ebay as you found it.

Dreamweaver CSS Mac writes image links wrong... img src="/www/images/asian_sales_office.jpg"

Dreamweaver CSS Mac writes image links wrong... <img src="/www/images/asian_sales_office.jpg" width="x" height="x" alt="x"> Took me a bit to find this, now back to hand coding all image links and also checking other code. Any fixes?

That looks to me like you may have your site definition set up incorrectly and you appear to be using "Site Root Relative" vs "Document Relative"
Go to Site > Manage Sites > click the site you are working on > Click the Edit icon > Advanced Settings > Links relative to: should be set as Document, unless you have a very specific reason for choosing Site Root there
If your server root folder is called www, you'll need to remove that folder from your site root. You are only transferring files from root to root, so the name of your local root folder is not important (the files inside it go to the server root). It is important not to accidentally have a duplicate of the server root folder inside your local root though which would accidentally nest your files within another folder when transferring to the server.

Dreamweaver for Mac

I have decided to switch to Mac for my operating system and
to Dreamweaver from FrontPage 2003. I started using FrontPage
because that's what I had at work and I stuck with it because
upgrades were cheaper than switching to Dreamweaver or its
predecessors.
I have become disillusioned (maybe disgusted is the word)
with Windows in general and decided for my new computer to go ahead
and switch to Mac. In the process I need to switch to a Mac based
website building software so I decided on Dreamweaver since it
seems to be the industry standard.
All these years of being spoon fed code by FrontPage are over
and I will have to learn more about coding for myself (I do a bit
now) and I am looking forward to learning more about CSS and W3
compliant coding of my web pages.
How many of you use Dreamweaver for Mac? Do any of you have
experience with both FrontPage and Dreamweaver?
I have Dynamic Web Templates attached to most of my pages and
from what I've read Dreamweaver will be able to convert and use
these. Are there any other resources I can go to to get started
with Dreamweaver and understanding CSS? I am reading all the
threads on this forum with CSS in the title and it is really
helping me to start to understand some CSS concepts.
Thanks,
Kim

Share my aperture library on two differents mac

Hello I need to know how and if I can share my aperture library on two differents mac (one iMac and one Macbook). I' d like to work on my project also on my macbook at home with wifi and also outdoor if possible...
Thank you for the help .....
Mollialba

The safest way to do what you want to do, would be to put your Aperture Library on a small external disk that you can connect to any machine you want. Apple does not support network access to the Aperture Library, so you may run into problems if you put your library onto a network volumn, see this support article:
Aperture: Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3252
However, you could decide to keep the master image files on a network volumn and have a local copy of your Aperture Library on each machine, but then you would have to take care to synchronize the two copies of your library regularly.

Dreamweaver CS3 Mac loses ftp info

When I close dreamweaver cs3 i lose all of my ftp login
information. it keeps the server and the folder information, but
drops all of the login information. I know this happened on CS2,
windows version, but hadn't experienced any trouble with it until
today (and i've been running dreamweaver CS3 mac for a year or so)

Hi. I am experiencing the very same problem. No issues for
years up until recently - but my problems started not long after I
installed the latest upgrade for Mac OS 10.5.4 to 10.5.5 - I am
going to use Time Machine to revert back to 10.5.4 it may not be
the answer, nor a long-term solution but it driving me nuts.
I am currently deleting sites out of my site manager and then
reloading them from the STE file everytime I need to work on them.
I have read that this problem existed in Dreamweaver 8 on Windows,
but an update sorted it out - lets hope an update appears soon to
fix this problem.

LIcensing has stopped working DreamWeaver CS4 Mac OS 10.9.4

Have followed instructions here
Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Mac OS
as much as possible.
Solution 1: I don't have [hard drive]/Library/Preferences/FlexNet Publisher/ on my hard drive so can't delete it.
Solution 2: Have tried to run license repair tool in terminal. I type sudo python then drag LicenseRecoveryLauncher.app across, but get invalid syntax returned.
I haven't gone any further than this.
I did have adobe photoshop cc trial on this machine, which I deleted and wonder whether this has now screwed up Dreamweaver (I don't use it so much these days).
Any help gratefully received, Tim

Hi magootim,
Can you try the solutions in this post?

How do you migrate Dreamweaver CC (Mac) extensions to a new Mac?

I am moving to a new Mac computer. TECH SUPPORT said to use Creative Cloud to download all the programs (from scratch). How do I transfer all the Dreamweaver extensions I have installed? With Photoshop, I just copy them to the plug-in folder. But where are they located in Dreamweaver? I don't want to have to re-install them all from scratch.

Reinstalling the extensions from scratch is the only safe way to do it. Dreamweaver extensions rarely consist of a single file that can simply be copied. They install or update multiple files, often if different folders.

Unable to locate disabled features of Dreamweaver on Mac OS X?

Hi,
I'm college student trying to follow this Adobe tutorial: Server behaviors, Databases, and Bindings in Dreamweaver CC
I'm sing Dreamweaver CC 2014 on Mac OS 10.9 (Mavericks). My goal is to get MySQL connection abilities within Dreamweaver.
So here's my question. The tutorial says that a file should exist here:
/Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CC/Configuration/DisabledFeatures/Deprecated_ServerBehaviorsPanel_support.zxp
I'm able to get this far:
/Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2014/Configuration/
But inside this Configuration directory, I am not able to find a directory titled DisabledFeatures. I have installed Adobe Extension Manager CC, restarted Dreamweaver, all to no avail.
Any ideas what's going on? Alternatively, if you could just provide me with a direct link to the .zxp file(s) that would be great. Just need to get this working, please. Thank you....

Hi Martyn,
In DW CC 2014, Server Behavior extension is available through the AddOns page, Can you please try the following steps:
1. Download/Install the latest Adobe Creative Cloud Application from creative.adobe.com and make sure to turn on File Sync.
2. Launch Dreamweaver. Goto Windows menu>>Browse AddOns.
3. Search for Server behavior in the AddOns page.
4. Now quit Dreamweaver.
5. After quitting Dreamweaver click the Install button against the Extension in the AddOns page.
7. Wait for some time for a notification to be displayed in the Creative Cloud Application. After successful installation of the extension you should receive a notification the Creative Cloud app saying "You installed the AddOn Server Behavior & Database"
