Opening dreamweaver files in iweb

I just got an apple computer and it is my first time using one. I had built a website in dreamweaver CS3 on my PC and now I would like to transfer it to iweb and use that. But I can't seem to open my dreamweaver files in iweb. I was told they were compatible. I know it is probably something really simple but I would appreciate the help.

The answer is a really simple one and that is you can't open Dreamweaver files in iWeb. iWeb is not an html editor in the same way that Dreamweaver is.
I don't know who told you the two were compatible, but they gave you the wrong info.
You can still run Dreamweaver on a Mac, but you'd have to stump up the cash to buy the Mac version rather than the PC version and it costs.
Why would you want to use iWeb when you have used Dreamweaver?

Error message when I open Dreamweaver files

Hi,
I have troubled of Dreamweaver CS3 and hope some one can help
me. When I open a file from one of my site which is connecting to
database, I got error message that I have to close the Dreamweaver.
It doesn't tell much what exactly wrong at the error message. These
sites were working fine before. Any idea why this happen and how
can I fix it?
Thank in advance!
Kenneth

Not without a little more information. What server model are
you using?
What OS do you run? Can you provide connection code and
recordset code?
Lastly, what version of Dreamweaver did you create your pages
in? If it was
8, was it updated to 8.02?

Can you open Dreamweaver files created in CS5 in CS4?

Does anyone know if it is possible to backsave a CS5 Dreamweaver file to be compatible with CS4???
Any help is much appreciated!

No conversion is required.
Dreamweaver creates HTML and CSS files which are plain text (readable by humans) and can even be opened in a text editor.
There is no proprietary code or file format like there is in Microsoft Word.

Problem Opening Site Files in iWeb 3.0.4

Having a problem opening different sites, I use seperate iWeb files for each site in one folder and now only one default site will appear when opening iWeb or trying to open any different site(file). I've done permissions and restarts but still no success. This just started the other day, I would appreciate any advice, thanks in advance.

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
NOTE: If you repair disk permissions with Disk Utility on your boot drive you will have to rerun the script with Terminal to make the Library folder visible again.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
Or you can download an already compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.

Opening different file with iWeb

Hard drive went....I have aback up copy of My iWeb site. With newly reinstalled iweb I am not able to open my old site...I tried renaming the folder to Domain as suggested by one of the support articles...but to no avail,
Any advice?
Devin

Devin,
I'm afraid that there is no way to import published sites back into iWeb for editing. You can't just rename the site folder "Domain" and have iWeb recognize it. There is (was) actually a file called "Domain" on your other hard drive that iWeb saves everything to. This is (was) the file to backup in order to preserve the link between iWeb and your published website. Without it, you are going to have to start over and reassemble your pages...at least you can drag some of the photos and graphics that you used from your site folder. So all is not completely lost. Live and learn...start backing up your Domain file...that file is by default located on your hard drive in the following folder path.../Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/iWeb/...

Opening pages in dreamweaver generated by iweb

Does anyone know why you can not open pages generated by iweb. It seems strange that you can open them in safari but can not in dreamweaver.
what makes the html files not compatible with other programs?
thanks

I have the problem that Dreamweaver open a Site I
create in iWeb, but all is different.
For problems with Dreamweaver, best to go ask on their forums:
http://www.adobeforums.com/
But I imagine only an update of Dreamweaver will make it work the way you want.

Can Not Open ASPX Files In Dreamweaver CC ?

I just upgraded from Dreamweaver CS6 to Dreamweaver CC and now can no longer double click to open ASPX files.
Is this something that was removed from Dreamweaver CC?
Or, is there something I need to install or edit in order for it to work again?
I tried adding it to the Extensions.txt file, but doesn't seem to be working unless I entered it into incorrectly.

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

You can apply the default file association in windows. Follow http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-vista/change-which-programs-windows-uses-by-def ault
Also, you can try adding it in DW preferences.
1) Go to Preferences < File Types/Editors.
2) Click on the "+" icon on left Column and add the extension you need.
3) Click on the "+" icon on right column and add the Editor as Dreamweaver. Locate the Dreamweaver.exe file installed at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CC".
4) Click on Make Primary Button and Click OK.
5) Close DW and re-launch.
I hope this helps
Thanks

Error message: "Dreamweaver can't open .jpg files"

I'm using DW 8, and I have installed the 8.0.2 update. I'm
having trouble inserting certain JPG images into a site. I get an
error message pop-up that states "Dreamweaver can't open .jpg
files". It will allow me to insert some jpg files, but not all of
them. I've tried drag & drop and going through the Insert menu.
The files are not large at all. Doesn't appear to be any problem
with png's or gif's. It's incredibly frustrating. Anyone have any
suggestions? TIA.

> why was i taught that all my web images need
> to be in 72dpi if it doesn't really matter?
most people suggest 72 because it was an old standard with
the early
macintosh DTP programs. For web use it's easier to
standardize on it because
when you make an image, you have to put ~some~ number in the
resolution box
and it might as well be 72 as any other number. It simplifies
moving image
files around in different applications if they are all the
same resolution.
For display in a browser, these will all have the same file
size and display
size in a web page:
600x600 pixels at 1dpi
600x600 pixels at 72dpi
600x600 pixels at 6000dpi
It's when they are used in other applications or when a
direct url like
/photos/1.jpg is printed out that they may display in the
resolution, not
the pixel dimension.
I came across a page once where the designer always saved his
images with a
resolution of 6000 dpi or some other odd number because he
thought that if
people dragged the image off the page to save it- most of
them wouldn't be
able to resize it. or some other idiot reason maybe.

How do I Get IWEB to open saved files?

Here's the problem...
I was building a "new site" to show my boss how easy and excellent the iweb program is for making any kind of site... (my site is www.crossfitmyrtlebeach.com) and i web was copying the site to my crossfit folders.
So I found "iwebSites" app program, and created '2' distinct sites.
And created this mock up of a site for my boss.
Then was UNABLE to open the CrossFit sites though all the folders showed up...
So... I've deleted ALL the files, and somewhere, somehow...the mockup is STILL showing up when I open IWEB.
Under my user/library/appsuprt/iweb folder...there is NOTHING in the folder... no domain site name, nothing.
Yet it is still opening up?
Can anyone advise how I can get Iweb to look at and OPEN the files saved in my CrossFit folder?
Or am a screwed?
Thanks

yeah, I found the file...put it BACK in the proper iweb support folder, along with the site files, etc.... seems to be working now..
Thanks!

Dreamweaver wont open any files in Mac OS 10.6.3

I just reinstalled CS4 on my Mac becasue every time I try to open any file, the window panels all blink (refresh) and then nothing happens. The reinstall did not help...nothing has helped.
Even when I go to the "Info" panel for any file and try to do a "Open With" and change it to be CS4...it switches back to Firefox.
Creating a new file in Dreamweaver is fine...I can edit it all day long. However, once I save it and try and reopen...nothing...just those dang panel refreshes.
Has anyone come into this issue and if so, has any idea how to fix this...or even where the issue is? Is it in Dreamweaver, Firefox, Mac OS?
Any help would be great.
Thanks!

I have not heard of this problem before. Have you tried a system permissions repair, and then de-activate your software (Help->Deactivate) and then run the Adobe - Adobe CS4 Clean Script before re-installing?

My new computer does not have iWeb and I can't open the files from the old computer. What can I do???

I'm really desperate. I used to publish to a blog directly from iWeb, then I discontinued it. When I made the switch to iCloud, I wasn't worried because I knew my files would always be there. However, once I got a new computer, I transferred all the old files to an external hard drive and I thought everything would work just fine. Well, it didn't Neither can I open iWeb nor can I find my files.
Can anyone help me please?

New Macs have not shipped with iWeb for over 2 years and Apple has not sold or supported iWeb for at least 2 years now - Apple stopped selling it and dropped support for it when MobileMe was ditched in favour of iCloud which does not offer hosting.
If you want iWeb, then you will need to have a look at your old installation CD's for your old Mac and see if iWeb is on these and you can then install it from there or if you don't have these CD's any longer, then you'll have no option but to purchase a copy of either iLife 09 or iLife 11 from Amazon - these boxed sets both contain iWeb 09, which is the latest version of iWeb.
Other than this and as you have not done your blog for sometime, perhaps you should consider re-creating it from scratch with a software that is actively supported and updated - that is NOT iWeb any longer.
You could try using WordPress, either .com or .org - .org is good if you already have hosting and you can install WordPress directly onto your server. If you want something free, then you could use WordPress.com which is then published on the WordPress servers.
You could also take a look at EverWeb from Rage Software, which is very new and is very like iWeb with all the extras, such as drop down menus etc. Take a look at http://www.everwebapp.com.
As for your files, it sounds that when you say files, these might be the published files for your site, if you went into iWeb and published them to a local folder? This is not a backup and even if you could find these files, then iWeb will not be able to open them because it has no import facility, so cannot open an already published site - html and css files.
What you need is your domain.sites files which can be found under your User Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
I would cut your losses and if you don't have iWeb, then don't bother paying for software that is now outdated and unsupported - move onto to something new and re-create everything in either WordPress or EverWeb.

Can't open my files in Dreamweaver CS3..

The program opens but I can't open either my local or my remote files. Please help! As soon as I try to open a file, Dreamweaver crashes and i have to close it. I had a brief chance earlier today to update a couple of html pages but then it stopped working again. I have no idea what caused it. Nothing has changed on my computer that I know of. up until, this program has worked excellently for me.
Please help.

Dreamweaver CS5 won't open any files from a project

Hi,
I'm working on a simple website. I work on it from 2 different locations (home and work), and the files are stored on a removable USB disk. The problem is that for some reason Dreamweaver won't open any files made on the other computer. It shows the sitemap, eveything. But when I click on a file, nothing happens.
I've tried a couple of things:
1. recreate the site in the site manager - still the same problem
2. remove the preference folder - still the same problem
The only solution is that I have to copy the files to my desktop, recreate the website in the sitemanager and then it works. But only if I copy the files to my desktop, any other location on my HD (not the removable USB disk) simply doesn't work.
Does anybody know why this happens? Or even better, does anybody have a tip of how to workaround this problem?
thanks!

IWeb won't open domain file

Last week, we published our Web site via Mobile Me. This week, when we tried to modify the Web site, there is an error message saying that it can't open the file. If I trash the plist files in both the domain file and in the Library folders, iWeb will open fine, but it'll ask me to create a new domain file.
We've been keeping the domain file on a Shared server so a few other people can update the Web site. They've been downloading the domain file to their local computers, editing the Web site, then placing the edited domain file back into the Shared folder.
Why would this not be working this week where it's been working fine the past 4-5 weeks?
I'm using Snow Leopard (I know others have had problems with Lion).

We've been keeping the domain file on a Shared server so a few other people can update the Web site. They've been downloading the domain file to their local computers, editing the Web site, then placing the edited domain file back into the Shared folder.
How do you know the doman file you download to work on is the latest? If two users are making changes at the same time and one then uploads to the server and then the other uploads the domain file will not have all of the changes. How to you control that?
The problem could be some kind of permission issue. Try running BatChmod on the domain file with the settings in this screenshot and try opening it with iWeb again:
