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

Dreamweaver for Mac or Windows?

Can I get some advice? I'm trying to decide whether to get
Adobe Creative Suite 3 for Mac, or for Windows. What are the
pros/cons of Dreamweaver, Mac version, versus Dreamweaver, Windows
version? Has anyone used both? If so, which one do you prefer? And
why?
I tried asking Adobe's sales people about this but they had
no clue. Apparently Adobe doesn't have any documentation or do
benchmarks to compare the two versions.
Thanks,
Lisa

Well, what is your "comfort zone" of your hands-on experience
with either one of those mentioned system architecture.
I use Macs for years and I find that very useful and
reliable. However I am being so overly baised aganist Window system
architecture. You'll have to deal with it yourself and you decide,
because I don't know you.
You have to weigh on several options... and your short-term
and long-term, and cost-wise to operate these system architecture
and types of physical equipment such as Mac or PC platform.
The thing about Mac, as you already know, the cost is very
expensive. But there is a huge trade-off... very very low
maintenance cost on side of Macs. Easy to add different kind of
devices, say printers, digital cameras, external backup drives,
external double layers DVD drive, scanners, list goes on... you
find that very easy to plug them in and ready to use on Mac. As for
Windows, it depends. You will have to add drivers every time when
you add devices manually. Mac does the rest for you.
When people tell you that there are lots of Windows
applications are avaliable for Windows than on Macs. It is simply
not true. Because you can run Windows on top of Mac by using
Parallel (specical software acts like Windows emulator).
As for CS3 on Mac or Windows, it is matter of your comfort
zone. you need to sit down and take a hard look at those systems
that works best for you. I can't decide for you. You have to make
the decision yourself. Adobe cannot make decision for you. That is
why customer service reluclantly tell you.
Hope that helps.
Good luck with your decision.
Cheers, Brian

Dreamweaver for mac - viewing problem

Hi,
I am using a demo install of dreamweaver cs4 for the mac. Dreamweaver opens in a fully maximized window and I cannot figure out how to reduce the dreamweaver window to something less than full size. There are no red, yellow, green buttons on the window and I cannot drag the corners. Also, dreamweaver installs its top toolbar directly into the mac's top toolbar. Can I prevent this? I have a huge monitor and I can't work in a maximized window. Also, when there is no active document opened, I see the desktop of my computer in the dreamweaver main doc area and not a gray background. Its like its using some sort of transparency option. How do I fix this?
Please help.
Thanks
Bill

Pull down Window>Workspace Layout and change to something that is not covering everything up.
I feel your pain. That's the way a lot of Windows aficionados like to work -- it's like they're afraid of their desktops and don't know what to do when they click on another active application.

Having issues opening html files in dreamweaver for mac

Every time I try to open an html file in dreamweaver, the file starts to open and then crashes. I cannot get them to work. HELP!

Hi,

Dreamweaver CS3 for MAC bug / MySQL with PHP

I am using DW for Windows for over 4 years, this time I have
to change my desktop to a MACBookPro because of the long run time
on battery and best 17" laptop screen. But DW CS3 cannot connection
to my MySQL database on my remote server like Windows version.
After talking to Adobe tech support, they acknowledge that it is a
software bug and there is no fix nor work around. I paid a lot of
money for the CS3 Design premium suite and it is frustrating that
Adobe does event test this basic function and all tech support can
give me with my premium support contract is they submitted bug
report and there is no ETA or anyone will alert me when a fix is
available!!!!!
I just like to share this so any one is thinking about using
Dreamweaver for MAC and need MySQL, you should check with Adobe
before pulling you credit out.

I've been a Mac convert for about 2 years now. Right now, I'm
running DW CS3 on an Intel iMac and it runs beautifully. On my
Powerbook G4 (1.33 GHz PPC G4 and 2 GB of ram) the performance is
slightly lacking. One thing to be wary of with adobe products -
they can be memory hogs. Photoshop is especially notorious for
this.
Also, the more you have installed on a Mac laptop, the slower
it will run. Mine used to take a few minutes to boot because of all
the programs I had installed, and nothing was starting up with the
machine. After a format and clean install it runs like new.
That is something for you to consider, if you have all the
necessary software to reinstall everything you want. I never turn
off any features in DW and I have only had a few buggy problems.
Nothing major though.

IWeb & FrontPage for Mac's

Yo!
I've only had a mac for a couple of months & just got round to sorting out my websites that I had designed on my PC with Microsoft FrontPage. However, iWeb doesnae recognise them, so I can't even open them on my mac, never mind edit & publish them! Also, unless I am very much mistaken I have to pay Apple for the privelige of uploading - when I used to upload for free to my ISP server!
So.......
1) Why does iWeb not recognise my websites?
2) I'm inclined to forget about iWeb & buy FrontPage for mac's. I believe there is one version out (1.0), but it's only for OS 9.0 & below, so hopefully it'll be updated soon. Has anyone got owt to say about FP 4 mac's? either good or bad?
Cheers!

iWeb does not have the ability to import previously published sites - it is NOT an html editor in the same way that Dreamweaver is and iWeb actually creates the html that is needed on publishing.
So you have the following options:-
1. Purchase a copy of Dreamweaver for Mac or PC and import your sites from FrontPage into Dreamweaver to update them - this is an expensive option especially for Mac, if you need to purchase the full package - take a look at the Adobe website to see for yourself.
2. Set up Boot Camp on your Mac and then purchase a copy of either Windows XP, Vista or 7 and load this onto your Mac so that you can then run Windows and use Windows software on your Mac, so Expression Web 3.
3. Purchase a copy of Expression Web 3 - if you already have FrontPage then the upgrade price is cheaper than the full price, which is only £117 - this might be your best option in the long run.
4. Check out the other options that others have given you here, but remember that any option does need an ability to both import and edit html code to work - iWeb does not have this facility.

Really weird problem setting up FTP in Dreamweaver MX 2004 for Mac.

I'm new to Dreamweaver for all that I've had it for years. Been using GoLive. Using Dreamweaver that is part of Studio MX 2004. I'm trying to set up FTP. Tell Dreamweaver to Create New Dreamweaver Site. Name the site. Don't use server technology. Pick the folder where I want my files. Tell it I want to use FTP to connect to my server. Give it the name of the host server. Tell it which folder I want to use for my files on the server. Here's where it gets interesting:
When I type the url for the folder in the field, as I type "html" it draws a strike through the "l" in "html".
I've tried typing the url in Text Edit, then copy and paste into the field. I get the same result as if I had just typed it in the field.
Deleted and re-installed Dreamweaver by itself. No difference.
Deleted and re-installed everything associated with Studio MX 2004. No difference.
Ran TechTool to see if there might be a disk problem but that came back fine. Have not run my anti-virus, ClamXav, yet. Don't have any anti-spyware software.
Running Mac OS 10.4.11 on an iMac G5 iSight.
I know just how oddball this problem sounds and I realize that I could use Fetch or Cyberduck but I would like my software to work. Anybody have any ideas?

Wiped and re-installed my computer. Now that part of Dreamweaver works. Some bug somewhere that's now been eliminated. Now it has a new problem that I will ask about in a new thread.

Help with Dreamweaver CS6 for Mac

I am a long time user of Dreamweaver CS 5.5 for PC and recently purchased an IMac. I have a trial version of Dreamweaver CS6 for Mac and am having difficulty displaying an html file in Live View. I always used "Preview in Browser" in CS 5.5 and need this same feature. I have an active site that I imported into CS6 and the site uses templates. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jim

HTTPS and MMHttp in Dreamweaver CS3 for Mac

MMHttp doesn't seem capable of HTTPS communication in
Dreamweaver CS3 for Mac.
When I do something like
MMHttp.getText("https://americanexpress.com");
the resulting response has no data and a status code of 0.
With
MMHttp.getText("
http://americanexpress.com");
(i.e. non-SSL) the response has data and a status code of
200.
This works fine on a Windows version of Dreamweaver CS3. Does
anyone have any suggestions?
I've only tried this on a trial version of DW CS3 for Mac.
I'm hoping to get a full version soon.

I managed to get a full copy of Dreamweaver CS3 for the Mac.
HTTPS doesn't work with MMHttp there either.
Do you have any suggestions?

I don't have the extract option in my version of Dreamweaver CC 2014 for Mac

I just installed Dreamweaver CC 2014 for Mac it and I don't have the "Extract" option anywhere. It doesn't appear in the Window menu, and pressing cmd+K doesn't do anything.
Any ideas??

Hi sugarjonnyo,
Extract was released in DW CC 2014.1 Oct release version. More details are available => Extract a Photoshop design into code | Adobe Dreamweaver CC tutorials
I believe you are at the previous version of DW.
thanks,

Please help - Dreamweaver Image Map Tool/Outlook for Mac

Hello:
I was wondering if you could help me navigate through an issue I am having with the image map tool. I have created a design file is PSD, saved it as a JPG, then transferred it into Dreamweaver to link the design to a web page. However, I would like to embed different links within one HTML file to e-mail out, so I used the image map tool to do so. However, when I copy/paste the completed HTML into an Outlook for Mac message (Command A; Command C; Command V), the image map/additional links do not transfer over once the file is pasted in an e-mail. I also tested this with G-mail and the Apple E-mail app, and was not successful. Please help.

You can't paste images into e-mails. Use absolute links to images hosted on your domain server like this:
<img src="http://yourdomain.com/images/your_map.jpg">

I bought the Dreamweaver CS5 for Windows a few years ago. Now I have also a Mac Book pro, where I have to Install the Dreamweaver CS5. I have made the Download for Mac, but I can't Install it. When I push the button, I got an error message.

I bought the Dreamweaver CS5 for Windows a few years ago. Now I have also a Mac Book pro, where I have to Install the Dreamweaver CS5. I have made the Download for Mac, but I can't Install it. When I push the button, I got an error message.

CS5 for Windows can only be installed on Windows operating system.
You would need to purchase CS5 for Mac OS.
Given that CS5 is now 4 versions back, it's unlikely you'll find a copy.
You could get DW CC from the Creative Cloud which supports both Win/Mac platforms.

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

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.
