Dreamweaver/MAMP Upgrade on Mac (Lion)

This is a pretty broad question(s). I've been working on a MacBook Pro running on Leopard for 6 1/2 years. I used Dreamweaver and MAMP but very seldom upgraded them.
I've finally upgraded to a new MacBook Pro running Lion and want to get up to speed on Dreamweaver, MAMP, PHP, MySQL, etc. After five years+, I have a few hoops to jump through.
Anyway, I'd appreciate any general advice anyone can offer regarding installing and setting up Dreamweaver and/or MAMP on a Mac running Lion. It would also be great if you could point me to some good online tutorials. (I've been searching for tutorials with Google but haven't found much good information yet.)
I should note that I'm using Adobe Creative Suite 3. I can't afford to upgrade to CS5.5, so I'm thinking of upgrading Dreamweaver only.
Two specific questions...
1) What should I name the folder that contains my websites, and where should I put it? My older laptop has a default folder named Sites at the following location...
Users > (user) > Sites
However, Lion doesn't have such a folder. Does MAMP install with everything pointing to a default websites folder, or will it give me an option of designating such a folder?
2) If MAMP gives me the option of choosing a particular version, which versions of PHP, MySQL and Apache do you recommend I work with?
Thanks for any tips.

To your first question. Yes it is possible to run multiple copies of Adobe programs. Only thing you can't do is run 2 versions of the same application simultaneously (eg: DW CS3 and CS5.5 at the same time).
The only details on Creative Cloud released so far are:
http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2011/11/adobe-creative-cloud-and-adobe-creative-suite -new-choices-for-customers.html
http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud.html
https://creative.adobe.com/ - This is the address for storage, currently the only product working although Muse and Edge are supposed to be figured into the Cloud as well.
The only announced pricing is ~$50/month for the Suite, whatever that may be. No further details yet other than "it's coming". They've been sparse on details, but after getting many responses including a long letter from the NAPP president we can only speculate as to what is going on http://www.scottkelby.com/blog/2011/archives/22903 .

Rosetta is not included Lion, if you are not familiar with Rosetta it was an application included in Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard that allowed PPC based apps to run on Intel based machines. That was over 5 years ago so it's time to move on. As has been suggested you can read those documents in Pages which is available on the App Store. Pages is part of the iWorks suite that replaced AppleWorks years ago. Currently iWorks is on iWorks 09 , and includes Pages, Numbers and Keynote. You can find each on the App store.

How do i upgrade to Mac lion for free?

Can I upgrade to Mac Lion for free again?

Hi
I bought my Macbook Pro in June 2011, and beacse I bought it between a certian timeframe, I was able to upgrade to OS X lion for free from the app store durring a promo or something. All I had to do was put in my Mac serial number to confirm it was right.
I sort of wnat to restore my laptop back....however, that will make it go back to leapord, not lion.
I was wondering if there would be some way to re-get lion for free? I know with other aplications, on the iPhone anyway, you can simply click 'buy now' and it says you already had it once, so you can get it again for free... but since I never paid for this, will it make me?
Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated.

Just use the recovery feature to restore

Problem Installing CS on Mac Lion OS

I just upgraded to Mac Lion OS and can't install Creative Suite - I have CS2, CS3 Update and CS5 Update. I have to install CS2 to enable installing CS3/CS5 but CS2 is a powerPC app that Lion doesn't support. Is there a workaround for installing CS5 Update without having to install CS2 first?
Sorry - User malfunction - I didn't need CS2 installed on the system to allow installation of CS5 (that's how I'd always done it in the past - old habits...). Start installing CS5 (not CS2 which is the original qualifying product for the upgrades) and the CS5 installer will ask for the CS5 serial # then it will request the serial number of a qualifying product. It allowed CS3 but didn't have selection for CS2. The CS3 upgrade s/n was acceptable for installing CS5. After that, all of CS5 installed fine and all apps appear to be working correctly.

CS2 is not compatible with the Mac Lion. CS3 or later are compatible with Mac Lion but there are some known issue , please find the link for the same:- http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/known-issues-mac-os-10.html
Now to install the CS5 there is no need to install CS2 , CS3 , CS4 and so on , Just run the installation of CS5 and when asked for the previous version serial number put it in and your CS5 will be installed.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion on my 2011 27" iMac, my Mac occasionally lock-ups.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion on my 2011 27" iMac, my Mac occassionaly locks up while using Safari, Mail or Dreamweaver and I have to d a force-quit, then restart my Mac. Anybody having similar probelms?
I am thinking about doing a clean install of Mountain Lion. Would I be able to restore my applications and data from Time Machine after the re-install?

My 24 inch iMac... 2.8 GHZ dual core (Early 2008) is having the same problem. After it sleeps, I go to use something... and the beachball of death occurs. This happens multiple times a day... and let me tell you... it is annoying... and I am the one who is being annoyed!
It could possibly be revolving around safari... as that is really the only thing that is running consistently. I don't use iTunes on this iMac as I have so many other Macs up and running in the house... and I never consume media on it... so I kind of dismiss iTunes being the culprit.
This is majorly affecting my Mac... in terms of reliability and uptime... which coincedently is the main reason why I switched to Mac in 2008. This is my only Mac that could upgrade to ML... so I don't know how widespread this is... but I hope that this problem can be solved...
I agree with another person who commented on this issue... do we really need a 10.8.1 update already... to fix this?

Dreamweaver 5.5 crashes in Mac Lion

I upgraded my Mac to Lion a couple of days ago and everything's been fine. Until this morning when it's crashed a couple of times in Dreamweaver 5.5, and then won't restart for some time.
I've seen a discussion where it recommends removing any dreamweaver files from the library/preferences folder.
The only two I could find were com.adobe.Dreamweaver.11.5.plist and com.adobe.Dreamweaver.11.plist.
I removed these but it made no difference.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks
David

It's very slow to start up. It will launch, but I get the spinning ball for about 3 minutes before it finally opens.
There's nothing in particular that I do when it crashes. It could be saving changes to a file.
I tried moving the only two dreamweaver-specific files I could find in the library/preferences - com.adobe.Dreamweaver.11.5.plist and com.adobe.Dreamweaver.11.plist - but they made no difference, so I've put them back.
I saw another thread which suggested removing files in the libraray/application support/adobe folder, but there's an awful lot of files and directories in there, and none that seemed specific to dreamweaver.
I haven't tried repairing permssions. I'll give that a go next.
I upgraded to the latest version of Lion over the weekend - Lion 10.7.2.
I had Safari running at the same time. It sounds like clutching at straws, but I'll try relaunching after repairing the permissions - and just open DW.
Do you know which preference files might need removing?
Ps. Just tried the above - but it made no difference. I timed how long it took for DW to open - 3 min 10 secs.

I have received my first mac from a designer friend who passed away recently. He had been having problems with crashing in Lion. His friend upgraded to Mountain Lion before his mac pro laptop, mid 2010, was sent to me. It has many problems and crashes

After sorting the material of my friends on the drive and creating a new user, I realized that the system was unusable with 30 or 40 crashes a day. I am a photoshop user and my friend had installed cs2 and upgraded to cs5. Actually everything was crashing and he had had the problems in Lion and they did not go away in Mountain Lion.
So my sense is the next best step is to uninstall and reinstall the operating system....but I'm entirely new to Mac though I quite good at problem solving on PC. I have been messing around trying to get Mac up for over a week now so am learning quickly but feel uncertain about the steps in installation and don't want to mess things further.
I have found this
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3351
which seems useful.
I'm backing everything now to a usb drive, I have one copy in timemachine, but I need a clean install so I'm backing things manually as it's not so complicated my being a new user.
I have the original discs of Snow Leopard and a dmg file of Mountain Lion that were installed on this computer.
I hope I can find my friends Adobe id and password.....he does have a list of passwords, how can I check if they are correct.
Do I need to install Snow leopard from the original disks first and then update and then upgrade to Mountain Lion?
He upgraded first to Lion but I can't find that program to install, do I need it to get to Mountain Lion?
I don't have boot disks, does that matter?
What can I do about CS5 in a restore? I don't mind loosing other programs so much as this one.....I haven't seen the upgrades and only have CS2. What happens to all your programs...I guess they are just lost?
I haven't used mail, so I'm not worried about that.
Hope I can get some support with the process, any support will be valued that is at all related. Thank you

I am looking through this material, it's great. I'm wondering though, does command r work in #8 if my original disks where Snow Leopard?
Yes, when the operating system was upgraded to 10.7 then to 10.8, it 10.6 was replaced so those 10.6 disks are only good now for completely erasing the entire drive and reverting the machine back to 10.6
10.7 and 10.8 has a Recovery HD partiton on the boot drive.
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
I have a mountain lion dmg file that was used to upgrade from Lion, would double clicking on this equal the same thing as reinstalling mountain lion over itself?
I wouldn't use this, as Apple is now changing things, so you need to reinstall 10.8 via the Recovery HD
I would prefer to keep CS5 photoshop
Not going to happen, if it's working now good for you. But according to Roaring Apps it's not working for 10.8. and it needs to be upgraded to CS6
If you revert the machine to 10.6 or 10.7, your going to erase CS5 and everything else.
Doing #20 would be a bit beyond me and I don't know another mac user so that I can work from their mac.
Why do you need another Mac users machine?
Print out the instructions.
Here is some more about secure erasing for a new owner
How do I securely delete data from the machine?
Installing OS X 10.8 again
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
Does the reinstall have to go from Snow Leopard which was the base install, to lion then to mountain lion,
No, you erase and install 10.8
When Apple upgrades 10.6 to 10.7 then to 10.8, it's a complete operating system replacement, it's called a upgrade because it's still OS X but leaves all your files and most programs intact, none of the older operating system version remains.
Just like if you would upgrade Vista to Windows 7, or Windows 7 to Windows 7 Pro.
Can I install the mountain lion upgrade over a freshly installed Snow Leopard?
Yes, but it requires erasing the entire drive (including 10.8 Recovery HD) from the 10.6 disks, then installing 10.6, then Software Updating to 10.6.8, then buying 10.8 from the AppStore, then downloading it and installing it, then the machine will be 10.8
Or you can use the Recovery HD and just erase the Macintosh HD parittion then reinstall 10.8 that way for free.
How to reinstall just OS X or erase/install OS X
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
See what is confusing you is there is a hidden Recovery HD partition on the boot drive, it can do all the things like a OS X install disk can do, erase the Macintosh HD partiton (where OS X, programs and files are) and install a new copy of OSX from Apple's servers so it reboots to a brand new machine again (no Cs5 though)
Instead of a boot disk, there is a two bootable partitions on the boot drive, one is Recovery HD and the other is Macintosh HD which boots into OS X.
SO your command r booting the operating system in Recovery HD to erase the other partition and reinstall OS X into from Apple's servers, got it.?
Your going to need your AppleID and password to reinstall OS X 10.8, all part of the new world order.

Caught in a conundrum while trying to upgrade a Mac Mini (mid 2010) from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion

Hi gang,
I am in a very frustrating position as I try to upgrade my Mac Mini (mid 2010) from OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard to whatever the latest version of Mountain lion is. The reason I am doing this is because the original hard drive died and the Mini sat there for 6 months before we decided to get a new hard drive and revive it.
I installed a new 500GB 7200rpm SATA drive and the problems began.
First I couldn't get Mountain Lion installed as a fresh OS installation (using both a USB drive and a DVD to no avail). It just wouldn't go. The grey Apple logo/loading screen would come up and just sit there doing nothing while the loading icon spun.
I then tried installing Snow Leopard (the OS that the Mini came with when it was new). After some messing around, that got done.
However, a peculiar thing happens when the Mini boots. Everything loads up into Snow Leopard, but although the mouse curser moves, I cannot click on anything or use the keyboard for 4-5 minutes. Then it just work (I am typing this on the Mini). This happens every time.
Now, when I updated to 10.6.8, I was able to load up the App Store and download the Mountain Lion install app. I clicked it and went through the initial copying of files and then the restart, but after the reboot, the grey loading screen would not progress. I rebooted again and held down the Option key to check out the available boot volumes, and all I saw was the installation DVD I had in there for Snow Leopard and a hard disk volume called "Mac OS X Installer."
So I booted into the Snow Leopard install DVD and opened Disk Utility to check things out. I did a verify disk and a permissions repair. Interestingly, the first repair I did gave me the message that the ACL was missing from Volumes and that is was fixed. I read something somewhere which talked about the Access Control List and mouse/keyboard issues. But who knows. When I boot back into the Mini as normal I am returned to the fully-functioning Snow Leopard installation, like nothing happened.
And now here is the kicker: it appears that the Firewire bus is hooped. In the Profiler, when I view the FireWire settings I get the message, "Warning: Unable to list FireWire devices." So I am pretty sure the one thing I cannot do is boot the Mini into target disk mode attached to my Mac Pro and installed Mountain Lion that way.
So to recap: I can't finish the Mountain Lion installation because the install won't continue after rebooting because there is something wrong with the underlying base system, which might be hardware (FW bus) related. I think.
Some things I have tried:
Resetting the SMC
Resetting the PRAM
Reparing permissions
Booting into Safe Mode (doesn't work)
Booting into Verbose Mode to observe what happens (I get the "Can't load the Bootcache.playlist" error, which I suspect is related to the screwed up FW bus)
Trying to boot using Internet Recovery (doesn't work)
Booting into Single User Mode and attempting the "fsck -y" etc. sequence to try and repair the ACL that way
So I am stuck.
I guess the question is, should I get an external HD enclosure and install Mountain Lion onto the hard drive that way and hope it works when I put it back into the Mini?
Any other ideas? I have spent a couple days ******* around with this is am running out of ideas...
Any advice would be appreciated!

Addendum: I read on a post here (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=420169) about removing some kext files in order to trick OSX into thinking that there were no FireWire ports.
I followed the instructions and removed from /System/Library/Extensions/ the following files:
IOFireWireSerialBusProtocolTransport.kext
IOFireWireAVC.kext
IOFireWireFamily.kext
IOFireWireIP.kext
IOFireWireSBP2.kext
I restarted and BAM...Snow Leopard booted crazy fast and the mouse and keyboard worked instantly.
The System Profiler says "No FireWire ports were found."
So this tells me that the FW port is probably the culprit and is messing up the installation.
So how do I hack the Mountain Lion installer and tell it to ignore the FW port, which is obviously quite dead? Or is there something I can do to the Base system that is similar?

If you purchased Lion for your iMac, just log into the Mac App Store from your MacBook using the Apple ID under which you purchased Lion and go to the Purchases page. You will be able to download and install Lion there.
searching the internet i found a link to upgrtade to 10.7
The only place you get get Lion is from the Mac App Store. If you found some other site, that was an illegal copy and almost certainly tied to someone else's Apple ID and hence unusable by you. If the link was just to the Mac App Store, see above.
As to the problem with synchronization to iCloud, that's not a 10.6 question, so I'd suggest you take up that specific issue in either the Lion or iCloud forums, providing full details, and someone there can probably help you sort things out.
Regards.

If i want to use Icloud i HAVE to upgrade from OSX 10.6 to OSX 10.7 and it doesn't seem to work on my mac book. I thought i had managed then it said i needed 10.7 to be able to upgrade to 10.7??? Who can help? In app store i can only upgrade to M.LION?

Dear Community members,
the frustration is that Apple decide to go from Mobile me to Icloud, forcing clients to have an upgrade from 10.6 to 10.7, i do this on my iMAc but the agenda and contacts don't get synchronised within Icloud. It only works on iphone and ipad but my IMAC doesn't synchronise although i now have to correct software.
I also needed to upgrade my mac book pro but by that time mountain lion was launched, i can now no longer find in App store how to upgrade 10.6 to 10.7 since Apple wants to promote Mountain lion. I then decided to upgrade my MAcbook pro to Mountain Lion but ididn't go through, process was each time interupted.
So searching the internet i found a link to upgrtade to 10.7 and after 40 min of downloading the system said that i requiered 10.7 in order to be able to install 10.7.
Hello IKafka?
Can someone help me, since this has taken me now days and days and with zero result, i have to manually input my appointements and contacts twice since the system doesn't recognise. and I bet that afterwards i will need to invest more time to un-double all the data...

Why can´t I upgrade my Mac Pro to OS Mountain Lion?

Being a person with great interest in photography, video and moviemaking I made a big personal investment a couple of years ago in buying what I thought was the best available computer on the market for multimedia projects for the time being, that is a well equiped Mac Pro (Processor 2x3 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with Memory 8 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 FB-DIMM). After that I also upgraded my Mac Pro with a better graphic card (ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB) and extra HDD´s Up till now there has been no problem to upgrade my computer to every new realesed OS software (latest OS X Lion 10.7.04) from Apple, but when recently trying to download the latest version of OSX, that is Mountain Lion, this posibility seems to have come to an endpoint! When I try to upgrade to Mountain Lion, I get the message that this is not possible with my Mac Pro (in which I for sure totally up til now have invested at least 70-80 000 swedish kronor (10 - 12 000 dollars).
Is this really so, and if so, why has Apple in this way seemingly abandoned all those earlier loyal customers over the world who by investing their money in Apple´s Pro line of products like Mac Pro´s, have contributed so much in building the good reputation and economic ground for the development of Apple in becoming such a sucessful company? Even if Mac Pro still is a strong and competive computer for the time being, this discontinuation of softwaresupport for the big stock of sold Mac Pro computers world wide, remarks a crossroad from where in the long run, Mac pro´s will become useless and therefore also worthless in such an extent that heir owners once more have to make investments in new hardware from Apple, taking for granted that they find it still being a value in being trustful to the Apple line of computer products.
While a company as a rule always willl find ways to make investments in new hardware of great quality if this is calculated to increase the income of the company, the sitaution is totally different for all independent and creative people over the world who have a much lower budget for their projects and as a rule get no profit from their work but their personal joy and emotional satisfaction.
Do I really have to through my Mac Pro away (it will probably be impossible to sell it to a worthy price after Apple now has discontinued supporting the development of it´s OS ) or do I have to buy a new Mac Book Pro with Retina Display and Thunderbolt Interface of latest version in order to feel safe in continuing using Apple´s Pro applications for multimedia projects foor the future with reliable continued support from Apple (and in that case for how long I ask myself), or is there any possibility to upgrade the hardware of my Mac Pro in order to upgrade to latest OS software and still feel being a member of the sanctioned Apple club?
Alternatively, maybe Apple can help all Mac Pro owners to make it possible to upgrade to needed Apple hardware and software line of their Pro applications, and thus continue to support Apple in using and inspire developing their products and Pro market shares as well as continue to spread their good reputation in this area, in supporting these reliable customers in some way, as an example by giving a discount to all Mac Pro owners upgrading to a new computer from Apple.
Maybe this in fact is the first step from Apple in a plan to soon stop selling the model Mac Pro because the latest compact Mac Book Pro´s already has exceeded the old clumpsy Mac Pro´s in function, versatility and potential for future development. If so this Apple´s decision is logic and understandable, but please don´t abondon all customers of Mac Pro´s all over the world who have been utterly fidele to Apple in helping the Company to spread the good reputation of Apples computers to ordinary people through the years and thus to a great extent have contributed in buildning the necessary market expectations that have made it possible for Apple to develop and sell new products to a continuing growing market by fulfilling and helping ordinary peoples daily needs. I believe that without these earlier pioneers and supporters of Apple´s ever innovative productline, its not taken for sure the Apple Company should have reached this all time incredible height of success we all can witness today...
Sincerely

what a long post....Apple, btw, does not read this stuff, so ranting, raving, and complaining here might make you feel good, but it does no good at all. That being said, I, too have a Mac Pro Quad Core Xeon with 6 gigs of ram and an nVidia 8800 GT graphics card (not as good as yours, alas) and I've had no problems at all with it. Yes, it doesn't have Thunderbolt, but maybe we Mac pro owners will get lucky and someone will come out with an adapter (probably not). No, you probably don't have to throw away your Mac Pro, but if you do, I'll take it, for a small "recycling" fee >:-) That was a joke. Yes, the Mac Pro's future isn't quite clear, YET. Hopefully that will improve very soon. As for not being able to upgrade to Mountain Lion. Don't worry about that too much, Nobody is forcing you to do that. Your Mac Pro won't quit working if it isn't installed. From what I've heard, you should give the new OS a chance, and wait to get it, in case there might be some bugs, or stuff not working with the new OS, which has been known to happen. Yes, we Mac Pro owners don't like being treated like mushrooms-kept in the dark, and being fed......... but Apple is Apple and it will do what it does, and there is nothing you or me can really do to change that. All I can say is....trust, have faith, be patient, go for a walk, do something else to take your mind off of this problem. IF apple decides to drop the Mac Pro for good, and that's a big "IF", I think they will anger a whole bunch of people
which isn't good. However, that hasn't happened...YET. Let us hope that it doesn't
