Migrate a Adobe GoLive website to Adobe Dreamweaver

I need to migrate a Adobe GoLive website to Adobe Dreamweaver. I am running a Windows 7 64 bit machine and cannot get Dreamweaver to install from the original DVD or the downloaded installer from Adobe.com. I receive an error message indicating "Failed to launch." Any thoughts?

What version of DW?
You may be better off downloading it from Adobe and using the serial from your disks to activate it...
Download and Installation Help
Once it's up and running, start fresh with DW and a new site. There's no good way to convert an old GL site without a ton of manual fixing. The code GL produced was "pretty bad" back in the day, now I would consider it pretty much "hysterically outdated" and not worth attempting to salvage.

Adobe GoLive

I was an old fan of Adobe Golive.I realize Adobe has chosen to stand behind the Dreamweaver product. Does anyone know of a program to help someone like me move from Golive ( very easy and intuitive ) to Dreamweaver ( a bit cluttered and difficult)?
Thank you

Moving to unfamiliar software is always difficult. FWIW, when Adobe acquired Macromedia, I decided to give GoLive a test run, just in case the decision went the other way and GoLive was the program that survived. I didn't find it intuitive at all. I found myself going round in circles, and eventually gave up.
That's not to say I don't believe you found GoLive intuitive. The difference lies in the approach to web design. GoLive approaches web design from the visual point of view. Dreamweaver takes a more technical approach, with the emphasis on the HTML structure. The advice that is given to all newcomers is to brush up your knowledge of HTML and CSS. Then, working with Dreamweaver becomes a breeze. Design view and Live View give you a very good indication of how your page will eventually look in a browser, but if you work exclusively in Design view and take no notice of the code you are generating, you'll struggle. The transition can be painful, but I know several GoLive refugees, who eventually came to understand the value of the Dreamweaver approach.
Good luck.

Adobe GoLive is Dead. Now What?

Adobe announced today that GoLive is dead: http://www.macworld.com/article/133181/2008/04/golivedead.html
I am a long time Adobe GoLive user having migrated from Pagemaker 3.0 to GoLive 6 to GoLive 9. My websites are not that complicated, and I know Dreamweaver has a lot of bells and whistles but it is probably too much for what I do. (or is it?)
Can anyone recommend another program (freeware, shareware or commercial) for building and maintaining web sites that is easy to learn and use, or is Dreamweaver the way to go?????

I've been going through the tutorials for Dreamweaver for the last couple of weeks and have converted my sites from Golive. Dreamweaver is not too bad, but there are some differences. I'm using the Lynda.com movies to work out a few specific issues and terms.
Luckily, if you just get tired of how Dreamweaver treats your site, you can easily fix the code by hand.
One thing, I've been using CSS when necessary with Golive for years (when it benefited me). With Dreamweaver you will get it shoved down your throat with all the extra crap code it will include. GoLive 9 was getting that way also, so there's always some cleanup required. If you already work well with sites entirely in CSS then you won't notice.

What product opens Adobe GoLive files in Mac OSX 10.8.3?

What product will open my old Adobe GoLive Web files now that I have installed Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.3?
I installed the new Mac operating system, not knowing that it would make my Adobe GoLive CS2 inoperable.
I know it's Adobe GoLive is old, but I maintain my churches website using the old system, and now have no way to update the site.

download a trial of dreamweaver (http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=dreamweaver) and see if you can open those converted (http://www.adobe.com/devnet-archive/dreamweaver/golive_migration/content/using_gmk_extensi on.html) golive files.

Font corruption and Adobe GoLive CS2 V 8.0

After 10.6.7 upgrade via Combo (Safe mode; DW; RP etc) , Camino & Chrome crashed. (Seamonkey, iCab, Omniweb, Safari & Opera did not) This was due to a corrupted Font, fixed via FontBook.
Being somewhat non-Font orientated my simple websites displayed Apple Chancery on my new iPad but displayed 'cursive' on wife's 10.6.6 which my iMac (10.6.6) also used to display.(??)
On 10.6.7 all my sites displayed Apple Chancery on 10.6.7 ... fixed by changing Fonts.
Adobe GoLive CS2 8.0.1 pretended to upload 'changed' files but never did! I had to 'delete-drag-drop' or use Transmit to upload changed files?
I duplicated some of these files only to find CS2 never uploaded the changed files!!
Does 10.6.7 break Adobe GoLIve 8.0.1??
In 10.6.6 I had some embedded MP3 files and 10.6.6 played these no problem. 10.6.7 will not play them from the website but plays them locally?
I tried all sorts of methods including javascript but 10.6.7 would not play them even after booting Paralells and IE8/9?
As I use a free ISP (ByetHost) to check my sites I transferred one to my homesite with the same result?
I am of the opinion that 10.6.7 breaks GoLive CS2 (Please! Not Dreamweaver!!)
I have a 10.6.6 SuperDooper 10.6.6 to go back to but worry what 'Lion' will bring??
Anyone else with similar problems afte upgrade to 10.6.7??

Thanks, R C-R, I am aware of the Font dependency on platforms but wondered why it suddenly reverted to the 'correct' font after installing 10.6.7. My previous OS upgrades didn't do this so I assumed 10.6.7 showed the 'true state' whereas previous upgrades didn't.
I checked my F/W backup of 10.6.6 and found 2 Fonts that were inadvisable to use so this is where Camino/Chrome crashed due to these Fonts. I consider it an 'Installation' problem as it never happened before.
The GoLive problem was of my doing and is now sorted.
However, part of this GolIve problem was found to be related to embedding MP3 in web pages and I assumed it was the install of 10.6.7 that activated this. I now believe it was either iTunes 10 or Safari 5 (10.6.7 installs Safari 5??) or both.
I shall close this thread and continue on http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2454051&start=75&tstart=0
Thanks

Message: please select folder that contains your Adobe GoLive files

Hi, I'm really new to DW 5, I did use DW when it first came out and started to get the hang of some things, but my learning was not going as fast as I needed it to go. So I have two questions, I have searched the forums for my answers but I'm getting them in bits and peices and have also found the same question I'm about to ask, but didn't see an answer.
Anyways, first; I'm using OS X (updated to 10.6.5) I was using "GoLive" but in the middle of updating the site, GL would crash, it wasn't from anything inperticular, it would just crash, it was always around 4-5 minutes of using it. So I started using "GoLive CS" it had been working great until today, GL CS is now starting to crash on me, doesn't matter what I'm doing, it's just a time thing.
Is there anything to fix this bug?
I think I might know why, and I could be wrong.......... that this is a compatable issue, but I'm not sure. I think because they are not providing anymore updates for GoLive (any version) that pretty soon I might not even be able to use it at all, but if I'm wrong, Please help.
Now if my thoughts are correct on the first question, then can some one please help me with this message I get when trying to "Migrate" my site from Golive to Dreamweaver.
My first question tonight was going to be why do my pages look like there is nothing on the when I open any page in Dreamweaver when I saw the post about migrating your site to Dreamweaver.
I downloaded the extension for Dreamweaver, I installed it but when I go to migrate the "site" it gives me this message.
Message: please select folder that contains your Adobe GoLive files
I came back to the forums to reread the post, but what it says to change in yoour files, I can't find. It says something about changing your "root" file.
I can't find what to change.
I kind of like GoLive better, at least right now, but I tryed to use DW tonight to really compair the two, I got CS5 about 5 months ago which included Dreamweaver CS5, so I thought I would give it a try utill I opened it and all of my pages were blank. But I still didn't give up and now this is where I am.
Thanks for any help, sorry for such a long posting, but I would really like to see if I like DW with out starting all over and having to rebuild my sites from scratch in DW.

My sites were created in GoLive (i think version 6), but it started to crash, so I switched to GoLive CS (i think this is version 7).
It was working fine until yesterday. Yesterday GoLive CS started to crash, so I decided to give DreamWeaver a try since it came with the version of CS5 that I bought about 4-5 months ago.
Yes, I downloaded and installed the extention from the link, the one that talks about Dreamweaver CS4, and I also read this on that page (below is what I copied from the page)
========================================================================================== ===
Note also: If you created your site with GoLive CS (7) or older and then upgraded to GoLive CS2 (8) or GoLive 9, you may experience problems with the GoLive Migration Kit extension for Dreamweaver CS4. If this is the case, try renaming the following:
Rootfolder-fd > web-content
Rootfolder-fd.settings > web-settings
Rootfolder-fd.data > web-data
========================================================================================== ===
I looked for "Rootfolder-fd -fd.setting and fd.data" I can't find them.
I was going to try and change them.

Migrate a GoLive site manually to Dreamweaver

I tried migrating the site manually from Adobe after the
GoLive/GL2DW extension locks up on the Components in GoLive
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/migrate_golive_dreamweaver.html
In the Article it covers how to migrate the Templates and to
change the extension but it doesn’t say a thing about the
Components
Does anyone know if you are supposed to make a new folder and
follow the same directions as the Templates and label it Library
and drag the components into that and then in Dreamweaver change
the extensions to .lbi?
I called GoLive Support yesterday and they did not know.

Define the site in DW to point into the root folder of the GL
site. You are
done.

How to bring a website into Adobe muse for editing

How to bring a website into Adobe muse for editing?

Adobe Muse only allows .muse files for editing. You can't import a previously created page say in Dreamweaver into Muse.

Adobe GoLive and Safari 5 not getting along

Hello.
I was trying to update a web page on a site that I'd created with Adobe GoLive version 8.x. Every time I tried opening the site files in GoLive, I got a crash. I decided to quit out of Safari 5 which was still running in the background to see if that would help. It didn't. I found a partial workaround to getting into my page, and it doesn't seem to be Safari's fault.
I guess more than a Safari question, is are there any good, current Web Site Authoring packages for the Mac out there? I really don't feel like paying $200 for upgrading to Adobe's Dreamweaver software.
If this is the wrong forum for this question, I apologize. Please direct me to where I should post this question.
Thanks for your help.

HI,
Not sure if this will help but worth a try.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. On the right open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Look for a file similar to this: com.adobegolive.plist (not exact wording but close)
Move that file to the Trash and restart your Mac. Try opening the site in GoLive now.

Adobe GoLive 9

Wer kann mir helfen?
Ich benutze zum Editieren meiner Webseiten Adobe GoLive 9.
Wie kann ich einstellen, dass die Größe der Seite (Auflösung) sich dem jeweiligen Userbildschirm anpasst.
Im Moment ist meine Seite nur in der geringsten Auflösung zu sehen - also bei PC´s mit höherer Auflösung immer kleiner und links.

Ich vermute mal, dass du die Breitenangaben der diversen Seitenelemente (z.B. vertikale Navigationsleiste links, Contentbereich rechts etc) als Pixelwerte definiert hast.
Die bessere Alternative wäre, mit CSS bzw. relativen Angaben (nennt man auch Fluid oder Liquid Layouts) zu arbeiten, also die Breitenangaben dieser Elemente als z.B.30% / 70% zu definieren.
Was ich allerdings nicht weiß, ist, ob das in 2008 eingestellte GoLive überhaupt in Punkto CSS-Support so gut ausgestattet ist wie Dreamweaver ab ca. der Version CS3.
Cheers,
Günter

Export html from adobe muse to use in dreamweaver

Is it possible to export html from adobe muse to use in dreamweaver?
Example... I finished my website in Adobe Muse but want to trasnfer it all over to Dreamweaver when I'm finished.

There is a Muse support forum here: http://muse.adobe.com
The HTML generated by Muse is pretty messy so you should be pretty fluent in HTML/CSS to hack it up in DW.

Looking to purchase adobe golive cs3 and No luck!

Hi every one!
I have been looking around for days to purchase adobe golive cs3 upgrade and no luck whatsover.
I can't even find a try out version. it seems like it never existed.
Luckily I have an old version CS 2 and I like it very much,
(It Looks good on windows XP but not on Windows vista though.)
I feel horrible that I didn't purchase Golive 9.0 upgrade when it came out.
I have Dreamweaver CS3, I don't like it at all.
I will keep looking around hopefully some day I will find Golive CS3 somewhere.
Have a nice day every one!
Albis
PS.
Adobe Golive was a great App! and still is.

You can find some at EBay... currently they seem to be for Macs but I've
seen PC versions in the past. Someone at Amazon is selling a video training
CD for CS2 for $999.99. Now that is insane!
Carol
You're right, it never existed. (CS3). No versions of Golive are now
available unless you find a vendor that has a copy gathering dust on a
shelf somewhere - if so, don't bother with Golive 9, only CS2 is worth
having.

Help: Photoshop CS4, Opens Adobe Help Website Automatically. Stuck in a loop.

Hello there!
I am having an issue with Adobe Photoshop CS4 (part of Creative Suite Web edition). Any action, including switching to the Photoshop windows automatically swaps out to Firefox and opens the Adobe help website.
My current action was converting a pentool path to a selection when the problem began.
I'm using Windows 7 on a PC. Any help on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.

Hi there and thank you for responding. :-)
I chose poor wording. I wasn't using a predefined action when the problem started. I used the pen tool to create a path and then right clicked to open the drop down, selected make selection and the error occured when the make selection dialogue box opened.
The Adobe help site then opened in Firefox. Returning to Photoshop, even just by alt-tab swapping back resulted in the help site opening again.
Ultimaty, I didn't find a solution, and used the task manager to force Photoshop to quit/crash.
I've had the error pop up once or twice before, but it is infrequent. I'd just like to try to find a preventitive method or solution, as so far, any time it's started, the only thing I can do is force Photoshop to quit completely.
I'm very sorry that I can't provide screenshots, but I hope that the explaination and additional system informaion might help.
Additional Info:
I don't know if this will be of any help, but my hardware setup is as follows
Wacom Intuos 4 Tablet and Grip Pen Stylus. (The standard pen which is included with the tablet.)
Processor: Dual Intel Core i7 CPR 920 @ 2.67 GHZ
RAM: 12.0 GB
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium Edition, 64 Bit
Graphics Card: Dual Nvidia Gforce 9800
And I am using Adobe Photoshop CS4, the version which ships with Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web Premium Edition.
