Formatting lost following upgrade from Dreamweaver 3 to CS4
Hi there
I've recently upgraded from Dreamweaver 3 to CS4 but now find that quite a bit of my formatting has been altered, particularly with tables. Does anyone know if there's an easy way to remedy this throughout my site or do I have to go into every page and manually change font sizes etc?
Many thanks'
Chrissie
Hey thanks John
Here's the home page: www.maristrugby.org.nz
I've uploaded a 'converted' (to CS4) page, it's very messy but I've loaded it up for now so that you can see the problems I'm having:

Hopefully there will be a relatively 'easy' answer!
Thanks again

I upgraded from Dreamweaver CS4 to CS6. but now when I want to upload I get "an TFP error occured - cannot make connection to host". I spent hours with the host technician and we cant find the error. I reinstalled DW4 and it connects to host perfectly. Anyone else seen this problem?
Mac OS 10.8.5
None of these issues are causing the error in DW CS6. We have double checked all of them and we have everything exactly right. Also I have exactly the same SiteSetup in DW CS4 and that works perfectly well. Could there must be factor in 6 that didn't exist in 4? Something that isnt in the SiteSetup but in some hidden dialog box ?
I can also upload to my host using Fetch, a third party FTP. And as I said DW CS4 works fine. So the problem is not with my host, its with DW CS6 in particular.Thank you Jon, that fixed it perfectly. You have saved me from going crazy. The only difference I see now is in "Server Name" it changed what I had entered (my ftp address) to "Remote Server"; which seems odd -- but it works! Although I know there maybe also some other dialog box I have never seen
Of course I saw that menu item "Import" and but I thought thats obviously not for me: "Why would I want to import an entire website?". I did not however see "Export the selected site" for thats only a tiny icon in the footer. However I would have thought the same: "Why would I want to export my entire website?".
An observation: I've seen this problem in a lot of Adobe software, the menu-names of items are obscure, non descriptive. What would be better would be for the menu names or popups to say "Export Site Setup settings" and "Import Site Setup settings" -
Getting error after administrator who upgraded from CS3 to CS4
Hi,
We have had an administrator who upgraded from CS3 to CS4.
However, any of our other users still using CS3 now get the
following error message:
“The website is being administered with a newer version
of Contribute. For more information contact this website's
administrator."
Do you know any way around this issue?
Thanks,

Hi,
No they don't have to, at least I think so. If your
administror go to the menubar: Contribute>Administer
Websites> Choose the site you wish to set the settings for. In
'Compatibility' choose 'Transition Mode' and klik OK. This should
allow the other users to keep working in their version of
Contribute.
I say 'should'... Read my entry in the general discussion

Problems upgrading from Dreamweaver 4 to CS3
The website I manage is www.episcopal-dallas.org. Today, I
upgraded from Dreamweaver 4 to CS3. In Design view, I can edit
about half of the pages, but those of the other half (including the
index/home page) have gray backgrounds (with a few exceptions that
have white), and, although I can make changes in the code, I cannot
edit them in Design view. The cursor forms the universal "nicht"
sign — circle with a diagonal slash through it. I can't find
any commonality between the ones that I can edit and the ones I
can't.
Also, on some of the pages, the navigation panel that is
supposed to be on the left side has ended up above the text of the
main body of the page. Manuals I have say nothing about upgrading
existing websites.> Apparently, DW4 didn't make
> the pages conform to the templates
Of course it does.

You should never have to do this.
I hope your understanding of this doesn't cause further
problems for you.

I've upgraded from CS2 to CS4 on my WindowsXP, and my question is, can i now safely remove CS2 from my program roster without impacting any of my CS4 applications?
If you're low on disk space, uninstalling CS2 will accomplish NOTHING. If you've reached this point, you need a new harrdrive.
Working with a system drive with under 20% free space is a disaster waiting to happen.

Serial # issues in Upgrading from CS to CS4
Was wondering if you need your existing serial number in order to upgrade from CS to CS4? If so, where do you find it?
As I recall, when looking into an upgrade it says they give you a new one. But I thought you needed the old one in order to be eligible for the upgrade.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.This is the feature request forum. You'll have better luck posting in the appropriate place.
But yes.. you need you previous serial number when upgrading. Generally it's located on the DVD/CD case. -
Can I upgrade from CS2 to CS4 and skip CS3?
Can I upgrade from CS2 to CS4 and skip CS3? It would save me time.
Colin,
>But I did exactly what everyone on here said they did, went onto adobe.com to do our research, saw that the upgrade works from CS2-CS4
Adobe shows there are multiple versions of the suites on their site and clearly points the way for purchasing at the Adobe Store. Just for the heck of it, I also went to MacMall.com and MacConnection.com, two well-known online resellers. I checked their Adobe CS4 upgrades, and they clearly indicate which older versions they are meant to go with. Not quite so clear from MacZone.com and a few other reseller sites I visited.
>I am an IT person for a printing company, and as such I spent hours upon hours preparing for this transition.
It took me just a few minutes to find the correct version I needed.
>no one can tell the difference, and most vendors don't know it exists. We could help you, but you didn't buy it from us."
Maybe the reseller you bought from is just sloppy and didn't mark the SKUs properly. But how is this Adobe's fault -- particularly when other vendors can and DO get it right?
Also as both Mac and Win upgrades are pretty much determined and marketed the same way, what does this sloppiness have to do with Mac market share?
But that said, there is enough good information on the Adobe site that should trigger some questions if you as the IT guy have any doubts and are responsible for buying for your company. At the least, doesn't it make sense to call Adobe and ask which SKUs you should buy? It could've saved hours of research time.
If you truly did your research and purchasing carefully and were still fooled, I suggest you start with a complaint to the reseller who sold you the goods.

Why upgrade from CS to CS4?
We have been advised to upgrade from CS to CS4 before the upgrade path closes, however this will also entail upgrading 3 x G4's in our design studio as these won't run CS4 properly. By upgrading to Mac Pro's there will also be additional software updates we need to purchase, which in turn means we will have to update on other Macs on network. All in all an expensive business. As such I would be really grateful for some feedback as to benefits of CS4 or should we just continue with existing Suite until we find we are lagging behind and then bite the bullet and be prepared to spend out even more for full CS (we will probably be on CS5 by then)? Am i just delaying the inevitable?
As previously mentioned, this question is really off topic for this forum but here are some thoughts anyway:

Sounds like you've already hit the "lagging behind" point, hence your question.
The real question here seems to be what decision(s) to make for the future of the business rather than weighing up, in isolation, whether CS4 justifies a hardware upgrade.
<neutral questions />
Do you have an ongoing hardware/software upgrade policy at your studio? or do you tend to wait until hardware dies before you upgrade?
If you're really facing the expensive upgrade chain of events that you describe then I'm inclined to suggest that you're reaching an inevitable "catch up" point where you're faced with investing a large amount at one time rather than spreading your upgrade cost (and tax write offs) over time.
If you're running dated gear and software, have you thought about doing a cost benefit analysis of what you might gain in speed and productivity by progressively rolling out staggered upgrades over time? The speed of faster rigs and productivity gains of updated software with integrated features can often outweigh the perceived savings of not investing in upgrades for a long period then having to upgrade everything at once.
How long does it take you to get projects out the door now and what might the difference be with an upgrade policy in place with allocated annual budgets for upgrades? What are your competitors running?
In short, I see this as more a "bigger picture" business decision for the future of your studio than a simple technical one based on the merits of CS4. -
Can I upgrade from Design Standard CS4 to Design Premium CS5?
Can I upgrade from Design Standard CS4 to Design Premium CS5? I can't seem find this info on the web so I thought i would ask here.
I am not sure that changing suites is supported.Make sure you buy the right package. Here's a link to Amazon: http://amzn.to/c3vKbt
That will save you $20 with free shipping.

Lost emails upgrading from tiger to leopard
I lost emails (although mailbox folders are still there, just empty) after upgrading from tiger to leopard. Please help?!
I followed these instructions the last couple of times this happened to me. It works so well that I've made a text file with these instructions:
I got it to work by deleting all the values in the defaults database associated with Mail and the Junk rules. In my case I did the following:
Remove the Envelope Index file (~/Library/Mail/Envelope Index) from your user account.
Launch Terminal.
Copy/Paste this list into the Terminal window.
defaults remove com.apple.mail JunkMailBehaviorHasBeenConfigured
defaults remove com.apple.mail JunkMailHeaderFlags
defaults remove com.apple.mail JunkMailInfoPanelHasBeenShown
defaults remove com.apple.mail JunkViewerAttributes
defaults remove com.apple.mail LastTimeJunkWasVisited
defaults remove com.apple.mail NumberOfMessagesMarkedAsJunk
defaults remove com.apple.mail NumberOfMessagesMarkedAsNotJunk
defaults remove com.apple.mail UseJunkMailHeaderFlags
Watch the rapid execution of the text commands in the Terminal window.
Quit Terminal.
Launch Mail.
Follow the onscreen guides to import your mail and watch the mail database restore itself.
All mailboxes, drafts, etc., should be quickly restored. Mail launches and quits correctly.
You will need to start updating the Junk filter in Leopard from scratch as new junk mail shows up. -
Why should my clients who use contribute 3 suffer because I upgrade from cs3 to cs4?
I developed a template that can be used by a number of chapters of a charitable organization. The chapters who subscribe to my template all purchased contribute cs3 and it works well for them. I may have made the mistake of buying the CS4 upgrade, as any new keys that I send using Dreamweaver cs4 to new users can not be used by users with contribute cs3. Most of these chapter already using contribute 3, do not have the funds to upgrade to contribute 4.
The code of my template has not changed, only the tool that I use to administer it has, why should they have to upgrade because I have?
This also makes it so that older users of my template will not be able to beneifit from the new version of the template. Do I have to reinstall CS3 and keep using CS3 to administer their network or do I have to force them to purchase the upgrade because I chose to upgrade to Dreamweaver CS4? There had to be a way I can send a contribute 3 user a new key because the user has changed names without forcing them to upgrade. Otherwise I have to develop my template so that changes can be made by users using other wisiwig programs.Thanks for that.
Yes I had the notion I may have been duped into buying a counterfeit CS3. I got it from Amazon and though Adobe seem to think that the serial number is OK they could not trace it on their system. However, if ths is a fake copy, what can Adobe do to help? How did they help you? I can't see them giving me a free CS3 in exchange - so I'm stuck!
Kind regards
I had exactly the same problem and I am sorry to say that you may have a counterfeit version of CS3. Contact Adobe they helped me to sort out the problem.

New hard drive, reinstall upgrade from CS2 to CS4 Question
Hi,
I upgraded my CS2 to CS4 Extended early this year, my hard drive just bit the dust and I have to re-install the CS4, will I have to call customer service again to get my copy of CS4 Extended activated, again?
Thanks, Charles Grubbs / futurexboyLike you, I've completely recovered from a hard drive failure - one of two in a RAID 0 arrangement in my case. Windows Backup restored it completely, likewise without re-registration, etc. A key difference is Windows Backup runs for me late at night, in a set-it-and-forget-it fashion (my computers stay on 24/7). I don't have to boot up a separate system to run it.
But I don't doubt Image is a good product.
It's good to have good alternatives to choose from.

Can someone assist me in upgrading from CS2 to CS4 PC version?
I have loaded the CS2 version on my PC and now I want to upgrade to CS4 master using the upgrade version. I have serial numbers for both versions but when I tried to load the CS4 upgrade, the system said it could not find the old version. I had to input the serial number of the software I was upgrading from but CS4 only gave me two version options, CS3 and CS3 upgrade. When I input the serial number of my CS2 version, the system said this is not a CS3 serial number. So I proceeded to install CS4 as a trial version thinking I can later input the CS2 serial number. Unfortunately my CS4 upgrade install ran into issues and did not install all of the main software (photoshop, illustrator, etc). I tried to reload CS4 but ran into the same errors. So now I have two issues, one is how do I get the system to take the CS2 upgrade and how do I fix the install issues so the full CS4 programs will load. Please help.
Troyboy8998 please contact our support team to verify the validity of your upgrade. For the best assistance, I recommend our chat support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6. Our chat representatives can provide a personalized experience to resolve the issue you have described.

Upgrading from CS to CS4 on new iMac
I currently run Creative Suite Premium (CS) on a G5 iMac. I will soon be buying a new iMac running Snow Leopard and would like to upgrade to CS4 Design Standard, I know there is an upgrade for this.
My question is: How do I install the CS4 upgrade onto the new imac which will have no earlier version of Creative Suite. Also is it necessary to upgrade to CS4 on my old G5.CS4 will work on both computers.
To install CS4 on the New computer just enter the serial number of CS when prompted. Be sure to buy the upgrade from CS. It seems Snow Leopard has a few problems you may need to wait for a few updates from Apple before all your software runs correctly on the new computer. If it were me I would get a model that was still running 10.5.x and pay the $25 for Snow leopard.
