Existing Kompozer Website but Wish to Start Over W/CS4 Web Premium

Hopefully, i am in the right place to ask these question. I'm a real novice but we needed a web presence and tried a hand at Kompozer. With no prior experience, or training actually managed to get something up. The site has only a single page at the moment with two external link buttons.  But now we would like to turn to CS4 Web Premium. I have read and watched any number of tutorials and some say, Download the Existing (Remote) site using an FTP program such as Filezilla and then edit it Locally.
I am under the impression you don't actually need to use Filezilla, or another FTP with CS4 Web Premium, as it has a built in FTP feature?
Can someone please educate me and hold my hand and walk me through this process?
I've downloaded my entire site to my desktop from a Backup provided by the hosting site. I'm not sure if this is what I need for an edit.
The hosting site gave/gives the option to download The Entire Site, or just certain folders but being "green" I wasn't sure about this option.
OTOH, If I were to start from scratch can I design A New Site Locally while the Kompozer built site stays up and then simply replace the current site with the New CS4 created one? Can I configure CS4 to Publish the changes from the existing file names and settings?
For example my current site is comprised of a single folder (on my desktop) containing 6 items total; An index.html, 4 individual jpg images and a single favicon ico (which i did upload separately as Kompozer didn't want to cooperate at the time. Admittedly I'm not even sure what FTP program I resorted to in effort to get it done ) .
I'm a little concerned I might delete a file that was there when I first set up the webhosting before I actually uploaded anything.
My web hosting provider (Blue Host)  said, Where Dreamweaver Asks What Folder on The Server Do You Want To Store Your Files In? The Path you put in is Public_html and provided a link to a tutorial but it seems it is for a New Site as opposed to editing an existing one.
A genuine Thank YOU in advance for any assistance, suggestions and Tips. I know we all have to start somewhere in effort to learn.

You really should post this in the Dreamweaver forum but if you have the FTP information for the site it's a one click procedure to download it to your local machine and work on it in Dreamweaver.

    A genuine and most sincere Thank You in advance for any assistance, suggestions and learned Tips.
    I know we all have to start somewhere in effort to learn.. Please be gentle with me.

    I would recommend leaving your company website on the server for now until you have created your new one  :-)
    On most servers, public_hmtl is the folder where all the files reside to make the website 'live'.  That's the name of the folder I have to upload all my website files to on my server as well.
    Without seeing the code produced by Kompozer, and guessing it is a WYSIGWYG editor, then I'd strongly suggest that you start from new  :-)  Seeing as you only have one page at the moment, it won't be a monumental task to start over.
    I'll supply you with a few tutorials found at the Adobe site that will help you get started, in particular - a tut on working with DW templates., which will be the answer for you if you have more than one page but up to 10 for example, if it's going to be much larger site, then using Server Side Includes may be the way to go.
    This is the one you should probably read through first:

  • I am using the 30-day trial and have 4 days left.  My problem is twofold - 1) I cannot open or see my timeline and don't wish to start over again; it's 15 minutes long

    I am using the 30-day trial and have 4 days left.  My problem is threefold - 1) I cannot open or see my timeline and don't wish to start over again; it's 15 minutes long - video, photos and audio. 2) My timeline has disappeared, so can't edit further  3) Need best way to export to DVD or my MacBook Pro laptop - don't know which settings/items to choose.
    I would appreciate it very much if Apple Support would extend my 30-day trial.  I am working on this project for a Multimedia classroom project at Randolph Community Collge, and am also unemployed so can't afford to buy just yet.  PLEASE help!

    Ok, Tom, I completed the first three steps and everything went fine.  However, I still don't have a timeline, AND above is a screenprint of my timeline and what I presume is meant by the PROJECT.  There is no project.  Now, I can go up to the Event window and Export XML, but it doesn't give me a usable file.  So, first, am I correct re: terminology - the timeline/bottom section is also known as the project folder/manager??
    I've been reading other users strings as well and have tried their tricks as well.  For instance, Eric Martin re: his deleting preference files (6/6), and Norman Jayo's (4/25) lengthy discourse with the "here is the work around" w/ 7 steps.  Again, he mentions closing the PROJECT that is corrupted.  I'm not sure that mine is corrupt as I can play and see my 15-minute audio/view in the view module (upper right).
    So, back to the beginning...

  • Install demo of CS4 Web Premium-Photoshop Installs 64 bit and x86 versions but 64 bit does not work

    Just installed the CS4 Web Premium demo onto a brand new 64 bit i7 processor with Windows Seven Home Premium machine with 9gb memory. The install seems to be fine except it installed a 64 bit version as well as x86 version into different folders. The x86 version works fine but the 64 bit version does not.
    Every time I try to open a file using "Open With' I get the following message "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application."
    First of all why does it install both versions and why does it try to open everything in the 64bit version even after specifically telling it to open in the x86 version (even after setting the default file association to the x86 version.
    I would of course like to use the 64 bit veriosn but if it not going to work. I'll use the 32 bit version. I just wantto be able to right click my mouse and be able to "Open With". I can open Photoshop 32 bit and open the file that way but it is a pain to do that way.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Both are installed to allow you to use 32 bit plugins. As for the problem, you'll get far more attention in the Photoshop forum.

  • HT1338 How can I start a software update from scratch?  error states that it was corrupted during transfer but when it starts over later, it still give the same error

    Software updates tells me it needs to download and install a new version of itunes.  When this notice first appeared the download started but stopped after about 34 MB and said the download was corrupted.  Later (after many restarts), the notice appears again but the download starts where it left off and immediately gives me the message that it is corrupted.  How do I force the download to start over from scratch?

    Check the version you're being offered, and go to Apple Support Downloads.
    Read the info on the update and decide if you actually need it. (if your OS version is 10.6.4 as shown in your info, I doubt that you will need it at all).
    The latest update I can find for iTunes is here; http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1426

  • Upgrade from CS3.3 to CS4 Web Premium but Flash CS4 doesn't install

    I just installed my new version of CS4, and almost all the applications installed properly. All but Flash, that was greyed when I tried to make a "personal installation" and did not install at all when I used the "automatic" installation.
    And there is something else : I had a beta version of Soundbooth, and Soundbooth neither was not installed. So, I presume I should uninstall it before trying again.
    But what is it with Flash ?
    Thanks for any help,
    Gilles

    Please could you be more specific ?
    How do I find this script ? On the installation disk, I suppose ?
    Or is it a way to launch the installation package ?
    Thanks for your reply, Buko
    Gilles
    P.S. I checked on the disk 1 and there is 4 scripts into the resources/common/scripts/ directory :
    ContainerProxy.js
    localization.js
    silentWorkflow.js
    utils.js
    P.P.S OK I found it : on the Lisez-moi file, there is a link to the CS4 support page (http://www.adobe.com/support/creativesuite/) and there is a link to the clean script. So I'll have to uninstall all of it...

  • Spotlight ramdomly started over

    I got on my PowerMac G5 2.3x2 this morning and my hard drives were really going to town. I looked up and saw Spotlight was indexing. I clicked on it and it says it's indexing my computer and will take 15 hours.
    That's really strange. No external hard drives, no new hard drives and no new data. But it's starting over. I guess that it got corrupted or something.
    I've had this particular PowerMac for about 2 years, so obviously Spotlight has ran before.
    Any ideas?

    10.5.1 was supposed to fix this:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307053
    Did you try applying the standalone version of the update?
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1051update.html
    This can be applied on top of the Apple Update version and I know doing this fixes some permissions problems.

  • Starting over for existing website

    I have a website that I want to completely revamp.  What is the easiest way to completely start over in dreamweaver while keeping the same domain name?

    So in dreamweaver I went to Manage Sites and clicked new.  I then created some basic pages for my site using images that are in a folder on my desktop.  Once I was happy with the layout, I went to manage sites again, clicked on the old site, and selected remove.  I then renamed my new site with my old domain name/ FTP information. 
    Let's back up a minute, you are missing some of the fundimentals of how defined sites work and what they do it appears...
    Under Site > New Site, you are not only defining the ftp info for the site here, but also the location of the actual files on your HD. My guess is you redefine the new site using the old site's folder on your HD, rather than the new site's folder.
    Outside of DW, you should have two folders full of files, pages and sub-folders that make up your sites, let's call these folders OldSite and NewSite. ALL files for a given site need to be within their respective site folder. You should never use a file that is outside your site folder, it will cause errors when uploaded. If you have an image in the OldSite folder that you are using in the NewSite, make a duplicate of the actual file and place it in the NewSite folder, do not link a NewSite page to an OldSite image file.
    Within DW you should have two site definitions that point to their respective folder, one for NewSite and one for OldSite. They can have the same FTP info as long as you realize any uploading from OldSite will undo what you've done in NewSite (which I kind of think is what's happening now).
    If you do not have that, it isn't going to work.
    Once NewSite contains everything you want to upload, follow these steps...
    1. Choose NewSite from the dropdown in the Files tab
    2. Connect to the server (click the plug icon in the Files tab for NewSite)
    3. Expand (click the square icon on the right of the Files tab) to get a view of your server and local files side by side
    5. Delete old files from the server
    6. Put the NewSite by clicking the Put button (up arrow icon)

  • Hello, I reset my device and I reset the password on Apple website, then I went to start over my device, but it gives me: "Incorrect Apple ID or Password", though my ID and password are working perfectly on Apple site. I need your help. Thanks.

    Hello, I reset my device and I reset the password on Apple website, then I went to start over my device, but it gives me: “Incorrect Apple ID or Password”, though my ID and password are working perfectly on Apple site.

    Thanks for your response. I'm a 100% sure that I have not bought stuff in the store with multiple IDs. At most I have switched the country stores as I have two credit cards from two different countries. The number of IDs showing up when I click skip are no less than 20-30 and counting. Not a single ID do I recognize in them except mine which shows up in between somewhere. Putting my password leads me to another enter your password screen for an unknown ID.
    Is there anything that can be done?

  • I received notice about a new cover art requirement (1400x1400 pixels) but can't find a way to change my existing art. My podcast has been updating flawlessly for several years, so I'd hate to have to remove the feed and start over.

    Please note - this was not a personalized email - Apple is sending this out to ALL podcasts that are listed on iTunes.
    If you are hosting with Libsyn or most any other "Podcast" host you should be ok.

  • HT204053 How do I delete my existing iCloud account (on ALL my apple devices), and start over from scratch??

    How do I delete my existing iCloud account (across ALL my apple devices), and start over from scratch??
    (cant seem to get calendars to ever sync right, on my devices, and across to my wifes'....so want to start with a "clean installation")

    Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account (this disconnects the device from icloud but doesn't delete any data on icloud or on other devices).
    If you then want to sign back in using a different ID, do so on the same screen.
    I also strongly suggest that you and your wife use different icloud accounts, otherwise all your devices will have the same data on them, same emails, reminders, etc.  Most likely not what you want.

  • I can't get my password manager working. It remembers passwords for websites but when I enter in a new password (because this had to be changed) or when I have a new username + PW that I wish to save, the password manager does not appear.

    I can't get my password manager working. It remembers passwords for websites but when I enter in a new password (because this had to be changed) or when I have a new username + PW that I wish to save, the password manager does not appear.

    If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPhone by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad.
    If you created a new account then you can log out of the old account and in with the new one as above, but any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can re-download its content and download updates to its apps.

  • I will starting afresh website in my iWeb, it shows only the head or the command line and the command new website is inactive - what do I need to start over

    Help........
    I will starting afresh website in my iWeb, when I start the program it only shows the head or the command line and the command new website is inactive - what do I need to start over - what have I done wrong

    Don't quite understand what you mean, but it says at the bottom that you are still using iWeb 08 so depending on what OSX you are running, you might consider upgrading to iWeb 09.  This works with Lion, Mountain Lion and Mavericks.
    Apple no longer sells iWeb so if you decide to upgrade, then you'll need to purchase iWeb by going to Amazon and buying the iLife 09 or 11 boxed sets, both of which contain iWeb 09.
    Install this on your Mac and it might solve your problems, or just ditch iWeb and start again with one of the newer programmes out there that are still being supported and updated, such as RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express, Flux 4, WebAcapella 4 and EverWeb (http://www.everwebapp.com).
