Quicktime in Golive is activex in dreamweaver

I used GoLive successfully on my own large multimedia website
for several years. Got a message that Adobe no longer supports
GoLive so i bought Dreamweaver. All the films on my site were
created using Golive's quicktime placeholders. Now i notice that
when i open these pages in Dreamweaver, they shows as ActiveX. I'm
not even sure what that is. Going to the media menu, I don't find
any quicktime, but lots of Flash and lots of Shockwave. Searching
for Quicktime in the help menu, i get this statement to use
quicktime/shockwave. I am not a web designer, just aperson who
learned GoLive and figured out how to make things onscreen look the
same on the Internet. I don't really care what all this means. Can
someone simply tell me which flaovr to choose in the media menu so
that the largest audience possible can watch my movies, which
usually .mov format. i don't own a copy of Flash and don't want to
buy it, mostly because i dopn't want to have learn another piece of
complicated software. A pro has told me that "everyone" is now
using Flash format for movies. I do own Quicktime Pro, if that
helps.

If you own Quicktime Pro you can convert most movie files (I
say most because there are extensions like the MPEG-2 Extension)
and you can convert it into FLV format. I would have to agree that
this is probably the best way to go for quality and size. If there
is a reason you need a higher quality, embedding MPEG-4 files are
the second best way to go.

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 The code GL produced was "pretty bad" back in the day, now I would consider it pretty much "hysterically outdated" and not worth attempting to salvage.

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.

Converting a golive cs2 site to dreamweaver 8

I want to switch over to dreamweaver 8 and would like to know
how to import my site in dreamweaver 8. The problem with the
importation is that dreamweaver will not recognize the .site file
that golive created. I would like to keep the site with the
templates etc intact.
thank you

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.

Server 10.4.6 rejects Webdav access from GoLive, but not from Dreamweaver

I have two web server Macs, running 10.3.9 and 10.4.6.
The 10.3.9 has no problem accepting connections from GoLive CS 8.0 (tryout version).
The 10.4.6 server will NOT let GoLive CS 8.0 (tryout version) connect to it. GoLive reports "cannot connect to http" THEN displays the underlying webdav error: "connection closed when expecting more data"
BTW BOTH servers accept Webdav connections from Dreamweaver, Transmit, various PC apps, etc. Only GoLive is being rejected.
Does anyone know why the the latest OS X Server would dislike GoLive so intensely?
Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, I don't have further advice based on your answer. I was only suggesting it as an area to check for inconsistency.
My understanding though, is that Basic authentication is best to be used for authenticating browsers for reading pages behind protected realms, and Digest was best suited for read/write WebDAV clients, although I can't now find the source of that info.
Perhaps test with Digest?

Centering site Dreamweaver vs GoLive

Hopefully some GoLive guru that is now using Dreamweaver can
help. Tried to recreate the GoLive 7 site in Dreamweaver and found
learning curve is steep. Tried to convert Go Live file to
Dreamweaver but Dreamweaver will not convert GoLive7 only Go Live 8
files. Catch 22.
My problem is that I had created a site using the Go Live
grid and I can get the background image to center with the
inspector but the text does not align in proper center position
over the background when I center the grid in the inspector. Can I
accomplish this in GoLive.
I have tried all GoLive forums and cannot find a resolve.
The link below shows the default left position of the page
but when I try to center the background and grid copy and enter
link they do not properly line up.
http://www.thefidlergroup.com/index.html
Help would be greatly appreciated.

> learning curve is steep.
This is an understatement. If you are a typical GL user, you
will need to
understand that DW is very focused on valid HTML and best
practice methods.
If you do not know or are at least comfortable with HTML and
CSS, your going
will be tough.
As an example, the W3 validator finds a number of instances
of invalid code
on your page -
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thefidlergroup.com%2Findex.ht ml
Why should this concern you? Layout issues CAN be caused by
invalid markup
alone. If you know that you built the page with valid
methods, then a
layout issue might be immediately highlighted by using the
validator linked
above. Unfortunately, GL was not so focused on valid code,
and as a result
has left these boogers on your page for you to clean up.
To achieve your desire to have this page centered, you will
need to work a
bit on the CSS. Change this -
to this -
body {
color: black;
background: white
url(images/fidlershell_logo_background.jpg) no-repeat
center top;
Then in the HTML, change this -
<table width="1195" border="0" cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="0" cool
gridx="16" gridy="16" height="837" showgridx showgridy
usegridx usegridy>
to this -
<table width="1195" border="0" cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="0"
style="margin:0 auto;">
and see what happens.

GoLive to Dreamweaver code deprecation repair

I'm about to move a couple of GoLive CS2 sites to Dreamweaver CS5. Will Dreamweaver automatically update deprecated code to current standards?
examples:
- Change the DOCTYPE statement to one that does not trigger quirks mode
- IMG ALIGN attribute
- TD HEIGHT attribute
- TD WIDTH attribute
- HTML font tags changed to equivalent CSS rules
- Replace width attributes with CSS rules
- Replace FONT element with CSS rules

I'm about to move a couple of GoLive CS2 sites to Dreamweaver CS5. Will Dreamweaver automatically update deprecated code to current standards?
No. Dreamweaver will not touch your code.
Updates will have to be done manually.

Adobe locks out "paid" GoLive users - is Dreamweaver next?

Adobe GoLive 9 has worked fine for me until this last week. Sometime in the last few days Adobe shut off the license server and now GoLive 9 doesn't work. They offered me a link for a much older version (CS2), but said they couldn't supply the newer version (it was too old). I can not believe the arrogant attitude of this company. I've been loyal to Adobe for 25 years and have bought almost all of their products - until they came out with their "rental" program. Any others that still use GoLive, or is it just me?

I don't want to address the issue of whether or not Adobe should or should not still be supporting a program that was killed long ago. Obviously if GoLive has still been serving your needs, then it's understandable that you are upset to have the rug pulled out from under you.
Many of us here were once GoLive users. Personally, I was thrilled when Adobe purchased DreamWeaver and stopped offering GoLive. It was not easy switching from the GoLive environment to the DreamWeaver environment, but it made sense to me so the effort was worth it.
Technologies, methods, and design practices change on the internet rapidly, as you know. I think you should take this as an opportunity to stay abreast with trends and migrate to a more contemporary toolset. Your web presence will be better for it.

Golive GL's UI and features for Dreamweaver

Why is it that Adobe will not adopt the Golive GL's UI and features for Dreamweaver? AS a designer Golive has a much superior design interface then does Dreamweaver. Adobe should take the grid drag and drop features in Golive and incorporate into Dreamweaver.

On the contrary. I come from print and pagelayout with PageMaker/Quark/InDesign. I am not a coder. Nowadays I CAN read code though I never really write it (just as exception). I've used GoLive since version 1. Once upon a time I said I would never have anything to do with code. That was then. Today the situation is different and creating websites need knowledge of both html and css. Or your pages will very soon not work as meant in any modern browsers.
You don't have a choice. There is no such thing nowadays for wellfunctioning websites than learning and using html and css. There is no such thing as a website without having to do some coding.

I need help finding a workable web program that is not CSS based. I tried IWeb and it just won't work for me. Way too limiting. I've been using a 12 year old copy of Macromedia Dreamweaver, but the new Dreamweaver is CSS

Been building web pages for nearly 20 years, starting with GoLive. Went to Dreamweaver about 12 years ago, the Macromedia version. Tried going to iWeb when it came with a new Mac, but found it way too limiting with it's CSS template base.   Unknowlingly, I then bought a new copy of Dreamweaver.   Ooops, Adobe had bought Macromedia and Dreamweaver, too, is now CSS based, which for my money makes it useless to anyone who likes simplicity.   Now I find that even iWeb has been discontinued. I was told yesterday that Apple doesn't have a web program any more.   At 12 years old, I just don't think it's practical to try to load my old Macromedia Dreamweaver into the new Mountain Lion (I'm getting a new Mac), though it is running, barely, in Snow Leopard.
I need to find a web builder program that will permit simple construction of educational pages, nothing fancy, nothing artistic, just create a page, give it a color, type or drag in text, insert a table, insert pix in the table blocks, add text under the pix... done!    I should note that I am not looking to build traffic. I teach simple things for free and people who want to learn those things (antique sewing machine repair, quilting, building longbows) find me.
I've downloaded trial versions of half a dozen or so programs and looked at maybe 20 more, but all are either CSS based and drive me insane with requirments for constantly making rules and template models, and/or require that you base your web presence in their server.   Also, many will not work with pages built in other programs. I maintian a volume of over 1000 web pages, many requiring regular updating, and they have been with the same server for more than 15 years. I'm not about to change.
So, anybody know a simple, old fashioned web builder that's happpy on a Mac platform?
Captain Dick

Although not supported anymore, iWeb does still function using Mountain Lion...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/mountain-lion.html
... and you can purchase it from Amazon.
Start with a blank page using the Black or WHite template.
All modern websites use CSS and there are thousands of free templates to be had if you want to use a code entry style application. You will need to go this route if you want to create a site that is viewable on mobile devices although you can create an iPhone version using iWeb...

Search this forum for numerous topics about iWeb alternatives.

Can't open site in GoLive CS2, error (-5000) help!

I've created 7 different sites with GoLive CS2 over the years and they are all files on my Mac laptop. I went to open one that I haven't had to change in a while and I can't, I just get a window with this, "Could not open Document, OS Error (-5000)" So is this a GoLive error or something with my Mac OSX system? I can't open any completed GoLive CS2 sites with Dreamweaver, only page by page and then I can't upload the changes since my site FTP info is in the GoLive version websites. Of the 7 sites, I can only open 3.
Help please...

FTP user account info is portable. Find out what the user name and password is for the accounts and enter them in Dreamweaver.
You do not mention what version of OS X you are using but it is highly likely that a user of a newer Mac is going to have troubles with GoLive. It was written for older Macs.

Itunes 7 and Quicktime HATE ME

I have tried to install itunes 6 and it worked fine until a couple weeks ago when it would not get to my ipod and quicktime didn't work at all, Now itunes 7 is out and it still won't let me download itunes and quicktime because of the activex control is part of the reason HELP!!!!

let's get an iTunes 7 installer log to the Apple Engineers for a look.
1. Open a command prompt window. (Start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return.)
2. Drag and drop iTunesSetup.exe onto the window so that the full pathname of the file is at the command line prompt.
3. Type in a space, then the following line:
/l*v C:\log.txt
4. Hit return.
5. The installer will create a log file:
C:\log.txt
Find that file and send it as an attachment to this email address in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
- A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
- The username you are using in the thread
- The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
- A concise description of the issue you are seeing
- The exact text of the error message you are seeing (if you are seeing one)

Most reliable way to link to a Quicktime file in HTML

What’s the best / most reliable way to link to a Quicktime.mov file in HTML (via Dreamweaver). Taking into account different browsers and operating systems PC & Mac.
I want to use a text and/or image to link to the QT file, what’s the best way to do it, a QK player pop-up; or a new window?
Thanks!
imac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

In all the years in using Dreamweaver. I have never used the embed code generated by by Dreamweaver. The coding not complete and I feel better writing my own. Untill a few years ago I found this neat little program that write a fairly complete code.
PAGEot...and it free. It not only writes the emebed code but it can write the javascript code for IE7 (for Windows). Plus it does a lot of other neat things that you do with Quicktime...play lists, poster frames to name a few.
http://www.qtbridge.com/pageot/pageot.html
You can either use the html page it makes or just copy and paste the embed code into you own html...
The coding it makes is compliant with most major browsers. either PC or Mac.

Is there any version of GoLive that will work on Lion?

My brother upgraded my dad's computer to Lion without realizing the PowerPc issue. Instead of trying to teach my dad how to use Dreamweaver, is there any version of GoLive (5? 6?) that would still work on the Lion OS?
thanks.

Dreamweaver is mainly a backend coder and to even do anything on the front end it is not easy to do... it takes way too much time to do simple tasks, where GoLive was one step, dreamweaver is multiple steps.... I have worked with Dreamweaver and for the life of me I cannot understand why Adobe THINKS this is for designers... this program is pure coding... and I understand coding is important for major sites, but to make a quick graphic friendly designed site, ephasis on the word QUICK, DW fails... If you want to create a new website today you have these options
1 - Dreamweaver - way too much coding, not graphic friendly, UI sucks, work around sucks, too time consuming
2 - Fireworks, Rapidware, etc.. this pretty UI's but lack some power and neccessary under the hood things that are important
3 - Hand Code HTML - um... yea.. that's fun as a designer... that's like .. before you can paint your picture, you have to hand weave the canvas yourself
4 - use GoLive, as long as you don't have Apple Lion...
5 - Find new rsources like word press.. that is how desperate designers are to do sites... they'll use word press to do that, as even word press is better than dreamweaver....
Isn't it sad that TONS of people are still launching GoLive from CS2 and that it's the program of choice to design and noone has come with a logical solution, which would be to take CS2 versions and upgrade it.... GoLive 9 sucks...
My point is, I want to see some agressive person create a program that is like golive...

Quicktime in Golive is activex in dreamweaver
