Dreamweaver with Mac

I am attempting to run Dreamweaver 6 on a new Mac with Intel.
The program opens and allows all info to be input, but when I go to
sync it shuts down the program
???????????????

> edit flashtext it's giving me an "unknown
> error" message.
as a guess from years of this- there is a "funky" character
in the hd name,
your username, or a folder name in the path to this local
site folder. Dw
trips up on the character and can't resolved the path to the
local site
folder.
so it doesn't create Flash Text or Flash Buttons and gives an
Undefined
Error.
And will give constant nags that "the selected homepage is
not in the local
site folder"
please do this.
open a new dw document using File->new
-->don't save this file<--
type some text, select it, and using the property inspector's
Browse to File
folder icon make a link to this site's "homepage"
view the code, copy the link code and paste into reply.
it should be an absolute full hard drive path like this:
href="file=///hdname/Users/username/folder/folder/file.html"

  • Dreamweaver CS5.5, v11.5, Build 5366 keeps crashing with Mac OS 10.7.5

    Dreamweaver CS5.5, v11.5, Build 5366 keeps crashing with Mac OS 10.7.5. This started a few weeks ago.   Dreamweaver crashes at random time so I cannot pinpoint one thing that causes it.  It just crashed as I was trying to adjust margins in a style sheet.   I have tried deleting preferences and reinstalling the software.  Both worked for a day or 2 and then the crashes started again.    I'm at the point now where I have to save after every change so I don't lose them…but that isn't allowing me to experiment before saving.   This is very frustrating.    Were there any releases beyond build 5366 or v11.5?  When I check for updates, I am told that my software is up to date.
    I have no idea what to try next.

    When DW starts acting weird, the first thing to try is Deleting Corrupted Cache in DW. Be sure to turn on hidden files & folders in your Mac Finder.

    If all else fails, use the CC Cleaner Tools below followed by a software re-install.

  • Is Dreamweaver 8 compatible with Mac OS X Lion 10.7?

    Does anyone know if dreamweaver 8 is compatible with Mac OS X Lion 10.7? Want to update  all my hardware with iCloud, which means I need to move from OS 10.6 to 10.7, and I still want to be able to upload changes to my current website until my new site is built (in another application next year)...thanks!

    From what I've been told (have been unable to get a good solid answer though) Lion DOES NOT have Rosetta to run PPC software or UB software. Everything Mac has to be Intel only to run in 10.7

  • Newbie with Mac iWeb, but have used Dreamweaver in Windose ......

    Hi all, i used Dreamweaver with good effect on my Windose Lap top, i now have the free App "iWeb" on my new Mac.
    I have had a quick look at what is can be done with iWeb, it seems to have a few Templates built in, but i don't see any facilities to use Templates from anywhere else or any possibility of Editing any Web Sites i have previously created.
    Have i missed something significant, i guess to have the same facilities given me by Dreamweaver i have to spend some more money !, or Dual Boot with Boot Camp.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated
    tim

    There are 3 themes in iWeb that can be customized extensively by the user: Black, White and Modern Frame. The Formal theme can also be customized in all page layouts except for its blog page. Each theme will have a different navbar font and color scheme. So choose the one that would work best with your design.
    There are numerous 3rd party themes that can be purchase and added to iWeb. Just do a Google search for "iWeb 3 themes".
    Does Dreamweaver have a "crossover" deal where you can get the Mac version for a greatly reduced price if you already have the Window version like Adobe does for Photoshop?

  • Dreamweaver and Mac OS 10.5

    I just upgraded my Mac OS from 10.3.9 to 10.5. Dreamweaver MX
    has been fine for my needs, so I haven't felt the need to spend $
    to upgrade. I was doubtful that version would work with OS 10.5,
    but thought I'd install it and give it a try... I imported my site
    settings and everything seemed to be working fine until I tried to
    upload the new files to the server, then the program quit. I was
    trying to find info on compatability between versions of DW and Mac
    OS with no luck. I suppose I just have to spend the money and
    upgrade?

    OK, I think I just found the answer to my question, so
    thought I'd post the link in case others are looking for similar
    info. This page gives info on compatibility on all Adobe products
    with Mac OS 10.5 Leopard:

  • 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.

  • Problem with mac interface

    Hi !
    I just installed Dreamweaver CS4 on my new Macbook Pro. I used to use Dreamweaver CS4 on Windows. But, I have a problem with the interface on my macbook : when dreamweaver is running, I can see my desktop : there is no background like in a MDI application (on windows). To illustrate my problem, I took two screenshots :
    on mac :
    and on windows :
    So, I would like to know how to have the same interface with Mac OS X than with Windows.
    Thanx for your help and sorry for my english but i'm french.

    Click the green zoom (+) button in the top-left corner of the window to switch between a larger and smaller window size.
    Depending on the active application it either fills the entire screen or zooms to the size of the last largest size of the window that you set yourself by dragging bottom righthand corner to desired size.
    Photoshop has various ways to hide the Desktop. Either by using the Application frame (which doesn't neccessarily hide the entire Desktop) or by pressing the key F. Wanted by PC users but usually not by Mac users. (I would personaly never use it as it obscures the Desktop so you cannot easily reach other applications and documents by just clicking them to call them into the front and get active).
    DW doesn't have an application frame but it is easy enough to fill the entire screen with the active window, particularly if you open up a few panels and dock them to each other and use Split screen view with code on one size and design on the other, then place various bars at top and bottom. When you have organized it to your liking, save it as a Workspace (Window/Workspace Layout/New Workspace) and you have it handy for future use.
    Learn how to use the windows and workspaces in an efficient way and one of these days you might get used to it...

  • 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 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

  • Missing Toolbar icons Dreamweaver CS3 Mac

    Hi Folks, new to this forum so apologies if asked before.
    have installed trial download of Dreamweaver CS3 on my Mac
    (G5 running OS X.4).
    Dreamweaver opens up but all of the toolbox icons are missing
    and are replaced with a generic 'broken icon' type. Similarly if an
    image is inserted onto the 'work area' it does not show up but
    again is a 'broken icon' of a simlar type.
    Strangely enough the downloaded trial of CS3 works fine on my
    Win XP laptop, but on the Mac .... no go..
    Any clues or answers anyone. BTW all other CS3 apps work
    absolutely fine.
    Thanks
    Rob

    Thanks again ofr that tip and link to the 'clean' file.
    Still no better I am afraid.
    I tried all of the methods associated with this file,
    including the 'script' which did remove all traces, including
    preference files, of DW CS3. It is almost as if the preference
    files refuse to write properly and include information about
    displaying the graphics.
    Looks like it is definitely an incompatibility with mac OSX.4
    BTW, all other CS3 applications display things perfectly. It
    is only a Dreamweaver problem.
    Have already got DW installed on a PC (Win XP) and that does
    not have this display. However as I produce most of the graphics on
    the Mac it would have been simper to keep it all on one OS
    platform.
    thanks

  • 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)
    Tyler

    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.

  • Compatibility with Mac OS Mountain Lion

    Does anyone know if Adobe has verified whether or not Dreamweaver CS3 (ver. 9.0) will be compatible with Mac OS 10.8 when it's released later this month?  The App Compatibility Table at RoaringApps says "not tested."  Adobe, are you testing?

    Highly unlikely that Adobe will test CS3 to support Mountain Lion. It's too old.
    If they get any attention at all, superceded versions (especially 3 versions old) will only receive essential bug and security fixes. But Adobe has retired CS3 long ago so don't get your expectations up even on that point.
    They're definitely testing CS6 to support Mountain Lion since it's the current version.
    PS are you aware that CS3 and CS4 owners have until 31 Dec 2012 to upgrade to CS6? After that date, CS3 and CS4 owners must pay full price for CS6.

  • External Drive "unable to be modified" with Mac

    Hi,
    I've just begun playing around with my laptop, but am running into problems while moving things around and off of my external hard drive.
    Before my Mac that I just got today, I had a Gateway PC laptop that I used my external hard drive with. On the Mac, whenever I try to move a file to a new folder it says that it cannot be moved because the drive cannot be modified. Also, I can't create new folders or even delete things.
    I think it has something to do with the formatting, but is there anything I can do that will NOT erase what I have on the hard drive? I have 200+ gigs of data on this drive and no where to temporarily place it while I reformat the drive.
    Also, if I do have to reformat the drive, is there a format that works both with Macs and Windows, so I can still use it on friends' and parents' computers.

    Rachel,
    Disk Utility is in your "Utilities" folder (of course). Here's how we do this:
    /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility
    Let's cover a few terms while we're at it... Disk Utility is rather like iTunes in the way it looks (in fact, most everything "Mac" has a lot of features similar to those in iTunes). The list at the left side of the Disk Utility window (as in iTunes) is called the "source list." In the case of DU, this list shows "devices" and "volumes" at the top. Below those would be shown recent "disk images" that DU may have created or handled (you won't have any, and "disk images" are something you won't encounter for at least a few hours ).
    A "device" is something physical, like your Superdrive or internal hard drive, and a "volume" is a logical "container" for files that is created on a given device. Think of it like the trunk of your car (the device), and the organizer you place in that trunk (a volume). DU shows volumes indented below the device that contains them. Since a volume is a logical framework (we call it a "file system") that holds your files, it is actually written to the device.
    Windows uses specific "logical frameworks" (NTFS, FAT-32), and Mac OS uses a somewhat different one (HFS+). The Mac OS can, however, read any of the Windows formats ('cause Macs are more better, as you've already found), and DU knows how to write those FAT-32 logical frameworks.
    OK, moving on... DU does many things. It can format (erase) volumes, changing them while it's at it if desired, but it can also format or partition a device. There's a bit of a difference between the two, sometimes. For example, you can "zero" either a device or a volume (which means to write continuous zeroes to the entire volume or device, in addition to simply giving it a new framework). One either a device or a volume, this is something you would do to completely destroy whatever data is on the device/volume. If you do it with a device, however, you get the additional benefit of "mapping out" any bad blocks (like dead spots) on the drive. This comes in handy if you ever find you're having problems with your drive.
    Another difference between devices and volumes is that devices can be "partitioned". This is when you create multiple volumes on a single device. These separate volumes would appear on the Desktop of your Mac as individual drives, but they all reside on the one device. And of course, they can be of different formats (on my Desktop, I currently have my HFS+ Mac startup disk, and another NTFS disk for Bootcamp, both of them on my internal hard drive).
    DU also repairs (or attempts to) errors that might occur in that logical framework we've already covered. These happen for various reasons, most frequently if we have an improper shutdown (such as a power loss). When this happens, we can lose important data. DU attempts to locate the problem, then fix it.
    Finally, Disk Utility is what we use to create and manage "disk images". These are single files that act as "virtual disks," and can be "mounted" and "ejected" just like real disks. This is something that you will encounter soon, I'm sure, but don't need to worry about right yet.
    I'll continue in another post (yeeesh, am I long-winded sometimes)...

Maybe you are looking for
