GoLive CS2 to DreamWeaver CS3

Running OS 10.4.9
I am so angry. When did Adobe get like MicroSoft?
I got the extension to convert GL to DW. It stalls right near
the end, and tells me, on two separate warning boxes, that an
".ibi" file cannot be copied. The process locks up GL for a few
minutes, each time, and then it progresses to the end of the
export. All the files seem to be there, except my old Templates,
and such. But the ".ste" file does not show up.
1. What's the cure?
2. Is there another way to import the site?
Thanks so much.
Note: I am running the Trial, until I can determine that I
can make the transition). Adobe says that the extension is not
available to the public (I Googled for it) and so gives me the run
around, and a lot of blather about policy. Is this extension
dedicated to a licensed version?

Are you sure you would get an .ste file at the end of this
process? Or
would you just get a DW site?

Does GL use .lbi files?

Migrating GoLive CS2 to Dreamweaver 8

Am looking for some resources with tips on migration of sites
from GoLive CS2 to Dreamweaver. E.g. conversion of site tips,
template conversion etc.
Found a Dreamweaver Technote:
How
to convert an existing site into a Dreamweaver site
... am thinking it might be best to redo the entire site? Has
anyone gone through site conversions from GoLive?

Upgrade from GoLive Cs2 to Dreamweaver

Can I upgrade from Golive CS2 to DW CS3 using DW SC3 upgrade
package or do I have to buy the full blown DW CS3 software?

I believe you need to buy the full version from what I am
seeing on the website. However, in this case I would recommend
contacting the Adobe sales team as their may be unadvertised
promotions for switching from GL to DW.

HELP!!!! GoLive CS2 to Dreamweaver CS4

I've been using Go Live for sometime I've just purchased a new computer and upgraded all of my softwarre. Go Live won't work on the new computer so I'm having to work out how to use Dreamweaver which is a pain! As a priority I'd like to convert all sites I've produced in GoLive to Dreamweaver. So far I'm not having much luck, possibly due to the unfamiliarity with Dreamweaver. Can someone give me a dummys guide to converting the Go Live sites over to Dreamweaver.
Thanks
Mark

MAB34,
GLCS2 has been running fine on 10.6.7 for me on a 27" iMac (2010) so I would think it should work for you.
It won't work on Lion of course but since your post was before Lion was released this obviously isn't your problem.

Dreamweaver CS3 hogging CPU - any fix?

I finally upgraded from GoLive CS2 to Dreamweaver CS3. (If it ain't broke, don't fix it!)
Dreamweaver at idle is using over a quarter of my CPU! (Mac Mini 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo, 2GB RAM) No well-written program does this so I figure there must be something that I can turn off that was defaulted to "on" so I can speed up my computer.
It's so bizarre that it demands almost half a GHz—460,000,000 cycles per second, folks—just sitting there!
Thanks!
Andrew

Thanks for the suggestion, but no. Activity Monitor is showing it's distinctly the Dreamweaver CPU process, plus I updated the software just a few days before.
I've seen other discussions online posted in the past couple of years about the same CPU-hogging problem on Mac and Windows boxes. There was some Windows patch (I believe it was from an unauthorized 3rd party) that purportedly fixed the problem, but I didn't see anything for Macs and I wasn't sure if there was any official solution (even if it involves upgrading to CS4) . . . other than live with a program that's making your system slow down for no good reason.
Thanks,
Andrew

GoLive CS2 DOES run on Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

I recently purchased CS6 Master Collection for a new workstation, determined to finally make the switch from GoLive CS2 to Dreamweaver CS6. I built my first web site with GoLive, and although I chose at the time to forego all of GoLive's drag and drop capability, choosing instead to code my HTML and CSS by hand, I did learn early on to take full advantage of the Template functionality, a real timesaver. Regardless of what ANYBODY says about the migration path from GoLive to Dreamweaver, NONE of them work worth a damn, and as a career SW engineer, I think it's sorry that Adobe hasn't done better, because they could have. Like many of you long-time GoLive users out there, I searched the internet and this forum high and low for a single helpful post that would allow me to migrate my web sites to DW. The migration tools Adobe provides, both the one for GoLive CS2 to export a DW site (yeah, right) and the extension for DW CS6, are all but useless. The one for GoLive skips template files and deletes code from the HTML. The one in DW CS6 complains about 'locked regions' in templates, just before it crashes. It never even completes. In trying to migrate my site, Adobe couldn't even handle a site made up of pure HTML, CSS, and a little handcoded Javascript thrown in, and which uses ONLY templates (no components, snippets, or dropped items, or special GoLive generated code). It would take me weeks to do this by hand.
Well, since I don't have 2 weeks or a month to fix a web site that already works, I focused on getting GoLive CS2 to run on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS, since I had been hearing rumors of problems, or where it didn't run at all. However, with the help of many others, and in particular a forum contributor called Cinti on a Microsoft forum, of all places (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_programs/windows-7-is-n ot-compatible-with-adobe-photoshop/6f1b4955-7166-4b8f-ad9b-5d19150f803f?page=2), I was able to get GoLive loaded and working without any issues, just as it did under Windows XP Pro. I had a bit of an issue, however, since I found out when I upgraded from CS to CS2 way back when that the installer would not actually read from a CD drive, even though you must insert Disk 1 of CS in a CD drive for verification of your upgrade, unless you already have CS installed on your machine, which I didn't in this case. If you face this problem, here is what I did to make it work, and this is prior to the hint needed that Cinti provided
(1) Create an ISO image of the CS Installation Disk 1 and save it to your hard drive somewhere. You can do this with most CD/DVD burning SW, like Nero, Roxio, etc. Just create a standard ISO image file. It's a file with an .iso extension, and is basically an image of the CD, but not one that Explorer can browse.
(2) Download a free copy of Daemon Tools lite (http://www.daemon-tools.cc/eng/products/dtLite), which has the capability to 'mount' this ISO image, and present it to your OS as a real (actually virtual) CD drive. This allows the installer to be able to read from a CD drive, since it can't read from an actual physical CD drive on your system. I got this whole workaround about using a virtual CD from Adobe, btw, so it's a known problem.
This will let you get your upgrade verification out of the way, if you run into it. Next, the CS2 installer will present you with a screen asking where you'd like to install the CS2 program files. The default it shows (at least for me) is C:\Program Files\Adobe. However, on Win7 64bit, this folder is reserved for ONLY 64 bit applications. There is another folder, C:\Program Files (x86) that is reserved for 32 bit applications, like GoLive. Unfortunately, as Cinti correctly points out, if you put this text in the box, the installer complains about invalid characters. Cinti also added two too many characters in the name before the ~ too, it can only have 8 total (as part of the 8.3 file naming syntax), and since the 64 bit folder is Progra~1, the one we want is Progra~2. What I found that works is the following:
(1) When the dialog appears asking for the folder in which to install CS2, click on Browse, and navigate to C:\Program Files (x86), which is then filled into the box automatically for you.
(2) Edit that text to read (exactly) C:\Progra~2\Adobe CS2. If you do anything other than this, the Next button will not be active. If that happens, just restart the installer and try again.
(3) Click Next to continue with the installation. At this point, you might want to select only GoLive to install, unless you want all of CS2 to install.
Upon completion, I found that GoLive works as expected without issue. I'm very happy now, and can focus on more important things than trying to do Adobe's job of migration for them. Perhaps by CS 13 Adobe will have fixed their miserable migration scripts. In the meantime, why not just "Don't worry, be happy!"
Cheers,
Shane

Golive 6.0 to Dreamweaver CS3 or CS4

About a year ago I called customer service and asked if I upgraded Golive 6.0 to CS3 the migration kit would work, I actually still have the chat record with customer service where I specifically asked them if I could migrate. I was told yes so my company purchased Dreamweaver CS3. Of course when I tried the gl2dw migration, it didn't work and I opened a support ticket and went back and forth with support for weeks trying resolve the issue. I asked for a trial of golive 9 or cs2 so I could upgrade and they sent me invalid links. Finally after a few weeks I was just basically told too bad we can't help you, offered me a refund if I hadn't installed the software which of course I had. So I have had cs3 for over a year and haven't ever used it. Now I see CS4 is out and it says that you can migrate from golive 6.0. Is that really true? Have they ever fixed it so you can upgrade 6.0 to CS3? I can't even get the upgrade version for CS4 because I used my upgrade on CS3. I have a company website with over 500 web pages I need to convert. I really need to upgrade to DW and soon. My company buys thousands of dollars of software and licenses from adobe every year, we are a non profit agency and I can't keep spending money on things that don't work! This is extremely frustrating. HELP!

Making changes site wide can be accomplished 2 ways but in reality unless you are using a dynamic site that draws its page designs from a central template page.
In retrospect you may want to consider creating a Library item first for anything you may want to change site wide (The first way). Being that you are not there yet you will probably want to use the Edit > Find and Replace from the menu bar (The second way).
Simply open up the file you have changed and another you have not. Next (assuming the option is not right in front of you) on the menu bar: View > Code and Design, making sure you can see both code and Design in both files. Then from the menu bar: Edit > Find and Replace. Copy the code regarding the object that you want to change making sure that you copy any opening and closing tags if appropriate from the unchanged file then paste in into the FIND box. Do the same with the file that you have changed except you will paste that into the REPLACE box also making sure that you have copied the same area.
Make sure Find and Replace Settings are:
Find in: Entire current local site
Search: Source code
Then press the Replace All button.

Installing GoLive CS2 with Master Collection CS3

I have just taken possession of a beautiful new system with the full Adobe Master Collection already installed by my computer guru man. The new system is very fast etc but I kept with XP 'cos had heard too many horror stories about Vista.
After getting the computer home (I live 2 hours drive away from the guru) I remembered that I forget to ask him to install my old CS2 GoLive with menumachine. I need to have GoLive (and the wonderful Menumachine) to update my GoLive sites. For a while anyway.
He thinks I should be very careful about just installing GoLive with the new CS3 collection because it could cause problems like "some of the shared components may overwrite the new CS3 versions" (whatever that means) He said I should have installed the old version of GoLive before installing CS3 to make this less likely. He said I might be best to uninstall the Master Collection. Start again and install GoLive CS2 first and then the CS3 next. He suggested I ask you.
Has anyone been down this path?
Also I still have GoLive CS2 installed and active on my old PC, will I be allowed to legally install it on the new one too? Or will that count as piracy and cause problems? I also have it on another little computer I have that I use (very rarely) as a kind of laptop.
My new computer has a two hard disks a C-drive and a D-drive - I was wondering if it would help if I installed GoLive CS2 on the D disk - everything is currently on the C disk.

If it were up to me, I would only have GL on two systems per the license
agreement.
Then, I would try installing GL CS2 and if everything works, great. If not,
then uninstall the Adobe stuff and reinstall it as your guru suggested.

Dreamweaver CS3 vc Golive

Another question:
I used to make my images with changing text-same background
in Image Ready. In Golive I could use the same file from Image
Ready and than just change the text. If I change the Image Ready
file like another background or fontsize all the files linked to
this one changes. Very easy.
Is this possible in Dreamweaver CS3?

Well, sure.

Dreamweaver CS3 | Downloading GoLive 6 site

I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 (Windows 7) and need to migrate a site that was put up in GoLive 6.
I've read previous threads on this issue, most of which are quite old -- anything new happening with this issue, such as a recent patch for Dreamweaver that will smooth the transition?
Thanks, Chas

I have a very old website built with CS3. I have the software disc I purchased directly from Adobe 7/8/2008 which I registered. It is for Macintosh which I still use. (but not the same Mac that I originally installed DW CS3 in) I will have to insert the old disc and install CS3 in this newer Macintosh. Can anyone tell me if I reinsert the disc how I can change and correct some incorrect information on the website. I have not updated it in several years. Is anyone living in Sacramento or Roseville California that is close enough to correct the problems for pay?
my email is [email protected] Tel. 916 773 2436 I live in Roseville CA
Thank you for your help. You might want to look at my website www.ywing-ming-jyang.com I need to change the fax number. The email button has a problem-pricing information needs updating. I would like to upload some new paintings

Cannot cannect to a particular ftp via both Dreamweaver 8 & GoLive CS2

OK, my trouble is a little complicated.
I have two different FTP servers: One is provided by
Dreamhost, another is provided by Startlogic.
Suddenly, it became unable to connect to Startlogic's ftp in
Dreamweaver MX2004. So, I upgraded to 8 in order to see if it works
again. No, it is no longer able to work on ftp connection. My ftp
setting is just correct. By the way, my OS is Windows 2000.
Here's the error message: "The connection to the remote host
has been lost. Click refresh to reconnect."
Then, I click "OK" and I get this error message: "togglinng
the 'Use Passive FTP" check box may help you establish a
connection. Select or de-select the checkbox and click Test to try
again. If the problem persists, check your network setting,
including the local firewall settings on your computer, or consult
your network administrator."
So, I did what the message instructed
Then, I get another long error message: "An FTP error
occurred. - cannot get a remote folder information. Dreamweaver
could not connect to the server. This may be due to one or more of
the following reasons: ...."
On the other hand, there is no problem with Dreamhost ftp. I
have tried to test with different applications such as GoLive CS2
and a generic ftp application. Only Startlogic's ftp does not work
on both Dreamweaver and GoLive, but it works on ta generic ftp
application.
I tried to connect to Startlogic's ftp on a ftp application
from a different computer. It was a success. I have not tested
Dreamweaver and GoLive though.
I have some other accounts of Startlogic's ftp and tried to
test those ftp. None of them worked via Dreamweaver on my computer.
Now, I don't understand why I cannot connect to only
Startlogic's ftp with Dreamweaver 8 & GoLive CS2. Is it my
computer's fault? Is it caused by some bugs on Dreamweaver 8 &
GoLive CS2? I asked Startlogic's tech support but they said that
they could connect to my ftp. I don't have firewall software
installed. My router might have though. My network admin has no
idea why it causes this.
Should I reinstall those Dreamweaver 8 & GoLive CS2
anyway?
Thank you for your help in advance.

The answer is always the same. Check your firewall for its
interference.

Cannot see web photo gallery in design in dreamweaver cs3

have made web photo gallery in PS- opens in browser- opens in
dreamweaver cs3- I can see the code all OK can view again in
browser--But I cannot see the thumbnails or tables-yet I know its
there hidden?--How can I make it all visible

Cindy:
If you dig really deeply (10 levels down!) in your Library folder you will find the templates for the new Bridge Galleries. You can also use the Lightroom templates in Bridge CS4.
Library/Applications Support/Adobe/Bridge CS4 Extensions/Adobe output Module/mediagallery/resources/templates/07lightroomgallery/styles
I duplicated one of the enclosed Styles and dragged it to the Desktop;
opened it in GoLive (because I like the way that GL displays html code although any text editor will do);
edited the code to give me the background colors, text and image frames that I wanted; and Saved the file with a new but similar name (starting with next two digits in the series and with the .xml suffix) in the same location as the original.
And it works!
You may be able to put your existing templates in the appropriate areas.
Or, you could install the Optional Plug-ins which let you use the Photoshop/File/Automate
web galleries and put your old templates wherever you kept them for CS3.
WARNING:
You should be perfectly safe doing this but if you screw-up CS4 and have to re-install it I accept no responsibility!!!!!!!
