Question about moving a site

This isn't a Dreamweaver question, but you guys have been
great help in the past. Perhaps you can help me here.
I have a customer, WC, who had a site through one of these
'template' companies. I have redesigned his site. His domain name
is registered through Network Solutions. If I leave the domain
registration with Network Solutions but CHANGE his hosting company,
will anything (settings, Cnames, MX records, etc) need to change on
their Microsoft Exchange server? They no longer have a network
admin, and I'm not familiar with Exchange. I don't want to risk
crashing their email for a day!
Thanks!
Brady

This will only be true if you are not using an exchange
server. When I do
this for non-exchange server domains, I always have the
clients set up a new
email account that grabs incoming email from the new
mailserver, while they
also continue to get it from the old one. In the 72 - 96
hours it takes to
be really sure all DN servers have propagated, they will
receive email from
both locations. After that time, they can then cancel their
original
hosting account, and remove the associated email account.

No - not if they are using an exchange server.

DW CS4 Question about Moving Content to New Site

Hi,
I'm supposed to meet with a client later about creating a new website and moving all content from the old to the new. Right now, I have no idea how many pages the old one has. I'm assuming the worst, which means I'm assuming there will be a lot of pages.
So after I create a new home page and then a new secondary page, is there some kind of automated procedure Dreamweaver CS4 has that will help me quickly get all of this old content into the new content? I'm hoping there is because I really want to avoid having to go to each old page, copy the content, and then paste it one by one. As I think about this, though, if suppose the old site has 100 pages, I guess I'll have to create 100 new secondary pages, then somehow get the content of each of these 100 pages into the new 100 pages.
Any help is appreciated.

I agree. I'm thinking it will probably be easier to start from the ground up. My biggest fear is it will be 5,000 or 10,000 pages. And from what I understand (I'll get more specifics at the meeting) the job must be done by 10/27/10, which leaves precious little time.
I'm meeting with the client this week so as of right now, they cannot show me the existing site until the meeting.

Important Question About Moving Files

Aloha DW Community
I need help/confirmation on this before i do it. I have
inherrited the website from hell; that meaning the folders on my
computer and on the server are very unorganized. There are images
all over the place, in places they just should not be stored. i am
getting ready to switch to a new service provider for the site so i
want to start as fresh as possible. i have already downloaded the
whole site from the server to my local computer. i have gone
through and deleted all the old files that are no longer needed.
now before i upload this site to the new server i want to collect
all the images that are spread about and place them in the same
folder. my question is this - if i gather all the images together
and upload the site, will dreamweaver correct all the link paqths
that have been switched around by me moving all the pictures? i
know DW does this, but i am not sure if it will do it on such a
large scale.
if you know the answer, please let me know.
thank you in advance
all the best to you
e~

Do all of your organizational moves within DW's Files panel.
You should be
fine.

Flash newbie questions about slow loading site

Hi all. I am new to Flash and web-site building in general and I have been learning while doing. Its fun, but frustrating. I really need some help, hope someone out there with Flash experience can give me some advice.
My problem is this: I built a Flash website, but it is painfully slow to load up (3-5 minutes via cable modem) when I visit the site (via Firefox, etc). Once it does load up, everything is fine with navigation. I'm having a hard time figuring out why its taking so long to load up on the web because, basically, I don't know how to trouble shoot. Hope you guys can help!
Details: the site is just a portfolio site with pictures and a few motion-things, no complicated animations. The swf file is about 9MB. I do have a flash preloader, but it doesn't show up until after the 3-5 minute "load-up" time. When I do the testing via Flash, its Ok and doesn't show the lag. But once I upload the website files and try to visit my website, the load time problem occurs.
My thoughts:
- do I have to purge my Flash file/library of unused images before creating my swf file?
- Is there a problem with my html code in my index file?
- because it is a portfolio site, I've got about 90 images on it, each image about 300-400K. Is this too big, or about right?
Please help! Sorry for the long email, just desperate for help. Thanks in advance for any advise!!!! Just in case, here is the html code:

Yeah I'm with Ned on this one. Dynamically loading your images is the way to go. The fact that you are new to Flash, try this tutorial (http://www.entheosweb.com/Flash/loading_external_images.asp). As you move along in learning Flash, look for tutorials on actionscript arrays and loading images dynamically. Arrays allow you to call each images from a folder outside your fla. That way your site moves right along without much loading time.
Hope I was of help,

Question about moving iTunes Media folder/library

Hello,
I'm responding to the article listed here: iTunes for Windows: Moving your iTunes Media folder - Apple Support that describes moving your iTunes media folder. I have a massive music library/playlists (over 350 gigs and growing). I'm planning to relocate my media folder to Dropbox because I have ample space there and it will allow me to run my library off of multiple computers (though not at the same time). My question is this: if I follow the steps and consolidate and relocate my library to the new Dropbox folder, will all my new uploads and downloads/purchases/imports also start automatically going to this newly specified location? I want to make sure that it would.
Thanks

Well the way that Dropbox works for me (just documents and data, not iTunes) is that I have a complete copy of the files in my Dropbox folder on my computer at home, and at work, and in the cloud on Dropbox's servers. Each time I update one of the files it is uploaded to Dropbox and then downloaded to the other client machine. When using another computer I can access my files from the Dropbox web interface, or use the Dropbox app on my iPad. It sounds like you are hoping that you can have all of your files in the cloud, and only in the cloud. I don't think it works that way.
For 350Gb and growing I think that realistically you need to stick with local storage. I clone my library to a 1Tb portable drive which I physically take to and from work, At each location I use SyncToy to synchronize the local and portable copies of the libraries effectively giving me three parallel clones of the library at all times.

Questions about moving from Mobile Me to iCloud

I just upgraded my iPhone to iOS5 and am curious about the move to iCloud for my mobileme account. I know there are articles out there, but they seem very generic and do not put my fears to rest.
Here are my questions and concerns. I figure they will be easy for a lot of you to answer, but I need to pose them before I make the jump.
1.) Do I need Lion to move to iCloud? (from the articles I read I'm pretty sure the answer is yes, but I thought I'd clarify)
2.) I have more than one mobileme account that has calendars and mail synced on my computer. If I upgrade one account do I have to upgrade the other at the same time for iCal and Mail to work?
3.) My husband's mobileme account syncs his work calendar. It is very important that I don't lose his information and that his calendar works flawlessly after the upgrade. Has anyone run into problems with the calendar syncing? I will not move anyone's accounts if iCloud is still experiencing a lot of bugs. I will of course make a backup copy of his calendar before upgrading, but his calendar changes often and is synced to two iMacs, a Macbook Pro, Mac Mini, an iPad and an iPhone it will not be practical to keep track of his calendar and if it is syncing properly.
4.) How do I actually make the switch to iCloud once I make up my mind to do it? My Phone told me to sign into me.com to do this, but when I signed in I didn't see how to say that I wanted to use the iCloud. Maybe this is because I haven't upgraded to Lion yet?
Thanks!

I am curious about the comment you can only use one iCloud account at a time. Right now I have my moblieme calendar and my husband's mobileme calendar both visible in iCal. That is very convenient for us because then he doesn't have to open up a separate user on the iMac just to check his calendar (this is our home computer that is mainly mine). Are you telling me that I won't be able to use both CalDAV accounts in iCal anymore? Will it force me to use only one?
Most of our music and videos was purchased under my .mac account, so iTunes isn't a problem, but we like to share one user on the computer and still be able to see both our calendars and e-mail.

WVC54GCA Question About Moving Back One Firmware Version

I am experiencing motion detection problems with a WVC54GCA with Ver 1.1.01 build 01 firmware installed. I have read a couple of threads in this forum which advise moving back to the previous V 1.1.00 build 02 firmware to solve the problem. I would like to know if anyone has done this ok and not "bricked" their camera before I attempt it.
Thanks,
Mike

I had to step back to from 1.1.01 Build 1 to 1.1.00 Build 02. I was fortunate that, for some reason I had downloaded the old firmware and kept it.
The problem I was having was that, once the new firmware was installed, ftp transfer upon motion detection quit working. The error log reported "unknown ftp". When the ftp name was replaced with an ip address, the error changed to "timeout or other error"
Once I stepped back to the 1.1.00 firmware, IP address ftp transfers began working immediately and, when I restored the to the ftp site name, transfers continued to work. The camera was reliably transferring to the ftp site for at least a year prior.
I duplicated these results on 3 different cameras.

ANOTHER question about moving referenced files.....

After reading through most of the posts I could find, I am still not finding the answer to my question. I assume it's simple, but I'm a (second-guessing?) LR2 convert, and while I love Aperture's UI, I'm really struggling with file management.
Here's how I like to work. Insert card into reader, and copy the folder (100CANON) to my desktop. Open Aperture, import all the photos from their current location. I like to edit, keyword, rename, etc at this point.
Let's say I had 10 photos in that folder, 5 of my dog, 5 of my car. Here's where my confusion begins:
I want to select the 5 dog photos, and move their physical location to my Pictures/Dogs folder on my hard drive, as well as to my Dogs project in Aperture. I try 'Relocate Master', which moves the file to the desired path on my hard drive. Unfortunately, the thumbnail still resides in the 100CANON project.
So therein lies my question, if I want these dog photos in the Dogs project I now have to drag the thumbnails from the 100CANON project to the Dogs project.
That seems like extra steps, and I can see that causing a lot of confusion, especially when trying to sort a folder with images that need to go in several different projects. I can't help but think I'm missing something obvious - why can't I go into my 100CANON project and drag the thumbnails to the appropriate project, and have the finder path update as well?
Save the "you should let Aperture manage your files" discussion, I'm not interested in that. I need to use referenced masters.

JF wrote:
what do -you- do with your photos when you import them?
I take the CF card and Finder-copy the contents to a hard drive where they will ideally live forever. Then I eject the CF card (very important error-avoidance step). If the folder contents are not a single shoot at this point from the Finder I review the folder to see if I want the images to comprise more than one project; if so, each project is split into a separate folder with its own name.
Next I back up the folder of images which is labeled something like "101113Buckleymstrs." 101113 is 2010/Nov/13, Buckley is the job/project/event and mstrs indicates those images are the Masters. The backup folder is named "101113Buckley_mstrsbkup."
Note that at this point and forever I can Finder-search for the date or for the job/project/event or for mstrs or for bkup to find images. No Aperture involved yet. Also note that the year/month/day format at the start of the file name properly alphabetizes the folders by date on the hard drives. Most of the files on my hard drives are done that way.
Next I start to import into Aperture by reference into a new Project named "101113_Buckley" using the exact nomenclature used for "101113Buckleymstrs" except without "_mstrs" appended. If Aperture irrevocably lost the link to the masters I could Finder-search on the "101113_Buckley" and find them. At this step before import I review the pix Aperture is set to import and uncheck any obvious duds before clicking to import. The duds remain in the masters and backup folders but I do not care because hard drive capacity is cheap while my time and improved error avoidance have significant value.
I always shoot RAW+JPEG and sometimes I make two Aperture Project imports, one of the RAWs and another of the JPEGs: "101113Buckley_mstrsRAW" and "101113Buckley_mstrsJPEG."
For specific issues like "dogs" I use keywords to create Albums. Or if Buckley is a construction project, for instance, over time multiple Aperture Projects related to the Buckley construction will be created, all of which will point to a Buckley Construction Album. Other albums might be "Buckley Site Work," "Buckley Foundation," etc. Albums are very powerful and take up essentially zero space because they are comprised only of pointers.
I assume you're letting Aperture manage them? I think the issue is that I'm not ready to let Aperture take control of my library.
I manage every image very intentionally, using the tools Aperture makes available.
Do you have random folders strung out all over your Pictures folder with the various imports you've done over the years?
Folders are not random. They are sequential (which is how photos by definition always occur) and they are named identically to the corresponding Aperture Projects as noted above.
It boils down to this for me. I have preferred being able to navigate a file structure within LR to find that one image I'm after. Yes, I realize I could search for it by keyword, whatever, but sometimes I might not even remember how I categorized it. I used to do commercial interior shoots, and had them labeled by address. It's nice to traverse a folder hierarchy if you need to, and it seems like if I turn over control to Aperture I'd be giving that up.
I understand the need some folks have for what I call "film-think" or "folder-think." If you must use folders IMO best is to do it with the Masters before going into Aperture. Within Aperture IMO folder-think is debilitating to optimal use of the images database tools.
I analogize each Aperture Project to a roll of film that occurred at a point in time (an hour or a day or whatever). It gets dated and named in the hard drive archives and in Aperture. Aperture's pointers and key words allow us to create an infinite variety of Albums without relocating the hundreds of original Projects/Rolls of film.

Question about moving itunes to wd external drive?

i found the page where it says u can move itunes music to external drive but will that include my tv shows also and if so can i delete it from my laptop after i move it to other drive?

\Music\iTunes\ folder is the main iTunes library location. It contains the library files, music files and everything else.
I have all of my music files already stored on an external HD. But for some reason when i moved it all
What exactly does "moved it all" mean? What did you move?
in other words in the old drive I still have the following files:
itunes library genius
-itunes library extras
-itunes library
These three are all the same type of files. I don't know what type of files they are
The iTunes library.itl file is the iTunes database file. Without that, iTunes is empty.
Since i already have all of my music files on my ext. HD can I delete these files without messing anything up?
Only if you want iTunes to be completely empty and you want to start from scratch.
Moving the music file syourself is not the correct way to do it. iTunes will lose everything.
If you want to move everything, copy the entire \Music\iTunes\ folder to a new location.
Hold Shift and launch iTunes.
Select *Choose library* and select the iTunes library.itl file in the iTunes folder you moved.

Question about moving music from an iPod to your computer.

In my household, we have iTunes on three different computers. My mother downloaded music on my brother's computer, and it's on his library. We want to burn a cd with the purchased album, but his computer does not have a cd burner, but the other two do. Is there a way to move music from one computer to another, or possibly moving music from an iPod to a computer's library?

Music is synced to iphone from itunes.
Plug in iphone and select whatever you like to sync from itunes to iphone.

Several questions about moving iPhoto library from PowerBook G4 to Mac Book Pro.

Hello,
So yes I was running an old PowerBook G4 laptop, had moved my iPhoto library onto a 2 TB external hard drive so I could free up space on my laptop. Now that I have a new Mac Book Pro, I decided to move the library onto it. Everything seems to have moved ok, except there seems to be a bunch of duplicates, some even have multiple copies. Now this is me looking at the events, and even the names are duplicated.
Can I safely remove and delete the duplicates, or is this just showing me the same photos / events / whathave you?
Also, I noticed when looking at the photos under library, the index shows a close up of any face that is in the photo. Is there any way to turn that feature off so I don't have to look at the same photo taking up a ton of space? Makes it harder to figure if I have duplicates.

decided to move the library onto it. Everything seems to have moved ok, except there seems to be a bunch of duplicates, some even have multiple copies
How did you move the library to the new MBP? The correct way was to connect external HD with the library to the MBP and just copy the library into the Pictures folder. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select the newly copied library and open it.
At no time should one library be imported into another. That created multiple duplicates and creates a real mess of the library.

Question about moving library file/playlists

I've just switched to a new computer, and while I was able to move my music and video, my playlists were gone(the music and video were on an external HD, but the library file with the playlists was on the old computer's HD). I've found the library file on the old computer, and I plan on plugging the external HD into the old comp and copying the libary file to it as a means to getting it onto the new comp.
Just one question: The previous comp was badly corrupted by viruses. I'm worried that if I copy the library file to the new comp, the new comp will become infected as well. Is this a risk? What can I do to prevent it?
Also, if I get the library file onto the new comp....then what?

Format the drive using your PC. Connect it to your Mac. Transfer the files. Connect to your PC. All is well.

Simple question about moving files with applescript : Not finisched

I use this script now but the dubble files stays in folder A. I would like to delete the dubble files so the folder is empty after moving. With this script the dubble files keep is folder A.
tell application "Finder"
activate
set this_folder to ("MAC2:A")
set these_files to every file of folder this_folder
move these_files to ("MAC2:B") with replacing
end tell

Your script works fine on the same volume. If you are going to another volume (disk or server) a move become a duplicate by nature. You would have to delete the files after duplicate is complete.
After everthing is moved
tell application "Finder"
activate
set this_folder to ("PowerMac:Temp:")
set these_files to every file of folder this_folder
move these_files to ("Server:Backup:") with replacing
delete these_files
end tell
Delete each file as you go
tell application "Finder"
activate
set this_folder to ("PowerMac:Temp:")
set these_files to every file of folder this_folder
repeat with these_file in these_files
move these_file to ("Server:Backup:") with replacing
delete these_file
end repeat
end tell

Question about moving a project from FCP to Premiere to do color correcting/sound finalizing.

My friend and i have been editing a film on FCP express. I've been learning more about editing and color correcting recently and have been teaching myself on Adobe Premiere. I offered to color correct the film on Premiere on my system. I'm curious what the best way to do this would be. is it possible to take the timeline from FCB with the raw data and somehow open that in CS? Or should he export the pre corrected final cut without correcting as a certain type of file, then I work on that, then export that as the final cut?

If FCP express has XML export, then you can export the project and then import the XML into Premiere Pro. It will give you the basics of the timeline and basic transforms for each clip (position, scale, rotation). However, not everything comes across - titles and 3rd party effects will not come across.
Given that, another option is to render out the entire movie and then grade it in Premiere Pro. But you lose a lot of control if you go that way.
The third option is to import into Premiere Pro and rebuild the bits you might be missing from FCP and then you have both the control and options.
Hope this helps,
Dennis
