Should I Purchase Dreamweaver

I am the administrator of a couple websites, one a company websites and the others the company's online shopping cart sites.  I've written the company website in simple HTML.  It appears that the WWW is moving towards HTML5, XHTML and CSS3, and that I'll be able to have better design if I switch to using these languages.  Is my understanding correct, and if so, would I be able to convert the site by importing it into Dreamweaver?  The site has about 250 pages and is growing in size.  I'm considering purchasing Adobe's Web Premium Package - I'm hoping to improve the site design, graphics and photo quality and add some video directly on the site without linking to YouTube.  I've never used Adobe Products, and am not sure if this is a move in the right direction.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

There's not really a Yes or No answer.
It depends.
Depends on what your HTML and CSS skills are like and what you actually want to achieve with your websites.
Can you provide the addresses of the websites which you currently maintain?
You don't have to convert websites to HTML5 since web code is plain text and not a compiled programming language.
You just need a HTML5 doctype at the top of each page then you use HTML5 tags in your page. What is it that you feel HTML5 offers that you currently don't have?
Similarly, CSS3 is just a matter of using CSS3 rules and syntax in your stylesheets and letting the browsers to the rest.

    Only you can make that determination.  Read the system requirements for both and read the reviews.

  • What size external hard drive should I purchase

    What size external hard drive should I purchase?  I'm not tech savvy, so please speak slowly.  I'm looking at OWC Mini Stack Classic to match my  older Mac Mini.  Do I need 500 GB, 1 TB or more?      Plus, I have to add memory to upgrade to Snow Leopard.  How much memory do I need and should I have an expert install it ?
    Mac OSX version 10.5.8
    Mac mini 3.1
    Processor 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  2GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    1 Processor
    2 Cores
    L2 Cache 3MB
    Memory 2GB
    BUS Speed 1.07 GHz
    Boot ROM Version MM3.1.0081.B06
    SMC version 1.35f0
    Hard Drive
    Format MAC OS Extended
    Capacity 297.77 GB
    Available 238.69 GB
    Used 59.08 GB on disk

    Good points raised by all.
    In my mini configs - both older and newer flatter model - I have kept their ministack external drive on top of the mini; with 3 or 4 little rubber feet added to the mini's base to give it a bit more elevation from the surface they are sitting on and a bit better chance to breathe. I'm not impressed by the very small air intakes on the bottom and the hot air that often comes out the back or how warm the case feels. Especially in the heat of summer.
    I do turn the ministacks on/off as needed (primarily for backups once a week) as they're not entirely quiet and sometimes seem to have a low hum vibration. Nothing crazy. I just like it as dead quiet as possible sometimes. Plus the fan does not turn off even if the mini and ministack drive have shut down.  The newer wide & slim model does seem a bit quieter than the older model.
    Check through system profiler to see if your system has 2x1GB or 1x2GB. Most likely it is 2x1GB and you'd need to remove both to double your ram. On the off chance it has a free slot; a single 2GB stick would get you to 4GB. Check on the cost difference between the 2x2GB kit and a 2x4GB kit.  I have an older core duo mini that functions fine with 2x2GB of RAM and 10.6.8. But, if you plan to continue to use the mini for several more years as a primary machine including upgrading the OS to Yosemite; it might not be a bad idea to just max it to 2x4 8GB. Yosemite really likes RAM to maximize performance.
    Along the lines of keeping the same mini and doing upgrades. The biggest speed improvements are made by replacing the original internal hard drive with a flash drive. Of course this is a more technical upgrade, you really need to take the mini apart more and you have to weigh the cost of the upgrades and possibly paying somebody to do them; vs the cost of a newer system which would have a significantly faster processor and other improvements.

  • For the 2013 versions of macbook pro should I purchase 32 bit windows or 64 bit version to be able to install it on macbook and use windows with bootcamp?

    for the 2013 versions of macbook pro should I purchase 32 bit windows or 64 bit version to be able to install it on macbook and use windows with bootcamp?

    Then you might check at any of the other university book stores or software stores or any computer store in town for the 64-bit version.
    If you want to use the 32-bit version from the school (you probably get it for free or very cheap) then you could purchase Parallels and run it as a virtual machine concurrently with OS X. There are some caveats:
    1. You have to purchase Parallels (there may be an academic discount.) List is $79.95.
    2. Your computer needs minimally 4 GBs of RAM, but realistically 8 GBs would be better.
    3. Parallels creates a pseudo-drive on your hard drive. It could easily require 50 GBs of disk space.
    Accommodating these might be more costly than buying 64-bit Windows 7. And, if you look online you may find them with an academic discount (or may be able to order it through the school.)

  • What antivirus protection should I purchase for my MacBook Pro? MacSecurity.app appeared on my desktop, and I downloaded that. Since then, it has said my computer is infected and pop-ups have been appearing.

    What antivirus protection should I purchase for my MacBook Pro? MacSecurity.app appeared on my desktop, and I downloaded that. Since then, it has said my computer is infected and pop-ups have been appearing.

    You've been infected by a scam trojan.  You don't need any anti-virus software on your Mac.  See the following about getting rid of the trojan.
    Trojan War
    If you discover a trojan program is running on your computer then look to the following information for assistance:
    1. A recent discussion on the Apple Support Communities: MacDefender Trojan.
    2. An excellent site devoted to Mac Malware: Macintosh Virus Guide
    3. Another site for removing MacDefende, et.al.: MAC Defender Rogue Anti-Virus analysis and Removal
    4. A new removal utility - MacDefenderKiller
    Removing strange software can be a task.  The following outlines various ways of uninstalling software:
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a Startup item or a Log In item.  Startup items are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the Delete [-] button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead.  Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Note that you must have this software installed before you install software you may need to uninstall.  Uninstallers won't work if you install them after the fact.  Here is a selection:
    AppZapper
    Automaton
    Hazel
    CleanApp
    Yank
    SuperPop
    Uninstaller
    Spring Cleaning
    Look for them and others at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on removing software and dealing with spyware and malware.
    After removing all the components of the software you may have to restart the computer to fully disable the software.  This will be the case when removing software that has installed a daemon.  After the daemon has been removed you need to restart the computer to stop the daemon.  Alternatively, you can kill the daemon process using the Terminal application or Activity Monitor.

  • I have two iMac's one running 10.6.8 and the other 10.8.2  What Apeture program should I purchase?

    I have two iMac's one running 10.6.8 and the other 10.8.2  What Apeture program should I purchase?

    You can currently only buy the current version Aperture 3.4.3 at the AppStore, and that version requires MacOS X 10.7.5. at least, see the release notes: Aperture 3.4.3
    So you will not be able to install this version on your Snow leopard machine. Maybe you can buy a boxed retail version of an earlier release, compatible with Snow Leopard, but the newer version is faster and compatible with iCloud.
    Do your iMacs both have the same processors and memory? You will wan to use your fastest mac with the best graphics card and the most RAM to run Aperture, also a large screen would be desirable.

  • What word processing program should I purchase for iMac

    What word processing program should I purchase for iMac

    Hi
    Pages is very good as a Word Processor but it lacks the ability to do Macros if you continually do a repeat operation.  For me I cut and paste text from another source and it needs reformatting Font; bold, size, colour every time I do it.  It is a real pest.
    Many years ago Word Perfect Mac could do this [still the best wordprocessor interface] also [from memory] Apple Works had the ability to record macros.
    A current MAC wordprocessor to look at which will do pretty much everything INCLUDING MACROS is Nisus Writer.  Express version is $49, Pro version $79 and it has a free 15 day demo.
    Cheers

    I would start with what does your bank support, then look at the selection of software to you.  Can you open QFX files in Numbers so you can just download the latest transactions, open in Numbers, select the newest ones, copy, then paste into a file where you keep your transations.

  • Should I learn Dreamweaver or FrontPage to make web pages?

    Should I learn Dreamweaver or FrontPage to make web pages?
    Both Dreamweaver and FrontPage are WYSIWYG (What You See Is
    What You Get) web page editors. For basic web page development,
    either one will do the job. In a review in the October 2001 issue
    of PC Magazine, both programs were awarded five out of five stars
    and both were Editors' Choice winners. FrontPage was cited as the
    pick for ease of use, while Dreamweaver was the pick for advanced
    applications. Compare the pros and cons for each program below and
    make your choice. If you feel really adventurous, learn both!

    toolbars
    Comes equipped with many predesigned web page templates
    Very easy to edit on SOE servers
    Easy to add some features, such as some forms, to web pages
    Doesn't produce code as cleanly as Dreamweaver

  • I have a iMac(2013 24inch)  (10.8.3) and have been told by Mpix to calibrate my monitor using ColorMunki. Should I purchase "Photo" or "Display" HELP?

    I have a iMac (2013- 24inch) 10.8.3 and have been told by Mpix to calibrate my monitor. Should I purchase Colormunki Photo or colormunki display? I am new to this calibration thing. I would appreciate any experienced advice about which item to purchase and why. Thanks

    The Color Munki Display is limited to calibrating displays.  The Color Munki Photo can be used to calibrate displays, projectors, and printers.
    The CM Display is less expensive and meets your needs.  If you are using an outside printing service, or are printing on standard papers using popular printers (e.g.: Epson Hot Press on an Epson 3880), there is no advantage, IME, to making your own printing profiles.  I have long used a CM Photo and have found it an excellent value.
    The MPix recommendation is spot-on.  You might find some good tips in this post as well.
