Software for making web pages?

Hi,
I'm sure this is probably posted in the wrong place so if someone will let me know where it should properly be posted, I'd gladly delete this and post somewhere else.
I plan on writing an ebook by September 1 (hopefully). Which means I will need to:
1. Create a webpage with some type of program for use with an iMac
2. Create pdf document that can be sold from the web in ebook form
3. Eventually I would like to add video and audio to the sales page (if that ever gets made, LOL. I'm a total non tech type person).
So, I don't know if I can use anything on my iMac to create the audio or video, or even what software I would purchase. I'm an educator so that means I could get some hefty discounts on some Adobe products but not sure which ones would be good to begin with for creating a web page (other than the one with iWeb).
While I certainly don't expect responses on all this, I guess my priority at this point would be numbers one and two.
Thanks for your help,
Lee
P.S. Does anyone know if after you have not been on the forum for a while if you have to change your username, etc. to use the forum? For some reason or another I had to do that in order to get on even though I was logged in to my mac account.

Just a word on the PDF point: Acrobat Pro can do a great deal. If you need it, you need it. If you don't need it, though, use something else. I say this not just because Acrobat Pro is expensive, although it is, but because it is also a complete pain. In, of course, my opinion.
I have and use Acrobat Pro but I only use it when nothing else will do what I need. Otherwise, I use something else. Like I say, it depends on what you need.
At the simplest level, you can create a PDF by "printing to PDF" from pretty much any application on your Mac. This is likely not enough for your needs but it is worth bearing in mind if you are not already aware of it.
I've never created an ebook so I don't know what's involved and Acrobat Pro may be what you need. Just don't assume that because it can apparently "do it all" that it is the best choice for your needs. Even if expense is of no importance, that may not be the case.

Creating a movie for a web page and making it continuously loop

Hi all! I have a client who wants me to create a slide show with 7 images at a specific size for his web page. He wants it to continuously loop. I don't know much about this. Where can I go to learn how? I can make the movie... but I'm not sure what to export it as... and what the settings should be to enable me to make it the correct size and so that it loops. Thank you!
I'm using iMovie '08 on my iMac.
PS: When I looked up online for help, all I found was how to make a movie loop on one's computer. Not on web pages.

.gif files are supported in all browsers and do not need any special "player". They are very limited in their support of colors and most Web pages rarely use them anymore.
QuickTime .mov files can be set to "loop" (as explained above). Much more colors (millions).
iMovie is the wrong tool to make your file (and it doesn't create .swf format).
QuickTime Player Pro is the tool you need. It can import an "image sequence", set the frame rate (up to ten seconds per frame) and save the file in the .mov container.

Firefox is now hard to load, and no matter what I click on for a web page, or even my mail I get the connection was reset and I have to hit the try again button 5 - 6 times usually to get the page to load.

I updated internet explorer also changing my server provider so that my web page contact emails would go thru. I have quest broadband and could not use my yahoo accounts as they are not compatible, had me open a q.com email will transfer to outlook for my web pages. That all works, but now firefox is acting up.

Many business users chose to use the downgrade option to XP until Windows 7 had been out awhile longer ,which may be what happened on your machine. Where I work, most all of the machines still run XP.
Recovery Disks contain the OS and all drivers/software for a specific model. A plain Windows disk contains just the OS.Not sure which you have, but a true Recovery Disk set will not work on any machine.
It really sounds like you have a Windows Repair disk which requires a backup image to repair an installation.Could you confirm what exact disk you have?

Best Autorun software for making digital portfolio?

Best Autorun software for making digital portfolio?

'Best' is a subjective judgement depending on your needs. For brochures you have, for example, InDesign and Apple's Pages.
Good place to look for software:

Background image for BPF web page

Hi all,
I'm building a web page that shows a BPF. I would like to set an image as backgroung for this web page.
In the BPC help I have read that the image should be located in /webfolders/<appset>AppSetPublications\BPFBackground folder on the server.
Does anyone know how to upload there the image? The only way I see is using BPC for excel, but it only allows to upload excel files, no images.
Thanks and regards,
Ana

Hi Ana,
You will have to add a new webpage in BPC Web content library.
Using the BPF object in the webpage, you can select your BPF and can also add the respective background image to it.
Hope this helps you.

Nithya

Can I disable adblock for specific web pages?

I would like to disable adblock for two websites, can this be done, or is the only option to have it enabled or disabled for all web pages? If I can disable it for two websites, how do I do it?

Yes, you can tell disable adblock on sites you choose. Go to each
web site one at a time. After the page has loaded, go to
the adblock icon and right click on it. One of the options
is to disable adblock on that site. Be very careful as there
is also an option to disable on '''''ALL SITES'''''.

How do I lock my default language to English for all web pages?

I have discovered that my language keeps reverting back to French for my web pages. Not for the sites per se, but for anything that I manually enter into a field or form. And since I have my work and home computers set to sync, it keeps reverting back on both systems. It's not necessarily noticeable until I type a word that isn't in the French dictionary, and then everything gets the red underline to indicate the misspelling. I change it *every single day,* but it doesn't stick. Any suggestions?
For the record... the language does not go to French on my Yahoo Mail, but it does on Facebook and random web pages. I initially thought it was a Facebook problem, but when I tried Chrome, MSIE, and Opera (yes, Opera), there was no French issue, I narrowed it down to Firefox. Sorry.

You appear to have installed an additional French dictionary that shows as four French dictionaries in the right-click context menu under languages.
This has nothing to do with installed languages in "Tools > Options > Content > Languages" that are language choices send to the server via the HTTP request headers.
If you do not want to use those dictionaries then you can uninstall (or disable) the extension that added them.

Creating a Simple Slideshow w music as a movie for a web page.

Hi all,
I would like to create a simple slideshow with music saved as a mp4 movie for a web page. I'd like to use basic transitions like crossfades between the pictures and other fun stuff
A few questions:
1 - Would I be better of creating this in iPhoto or iMovie or Keynote?
2 - Any hints in getting started?
note: I guess I'll post this on iPhoto area also...

You are probably better off in iMovie. You will have a lot more control. With iPhoto, as far as I know, all slides would have to be the same length, and you would need to pick music from iPhoto. With iMovie, you can customize slide length, make them change on the beat, use your own music, etc.
I would use Keynote only if you want to include text and bullets where the photo is only part of the slide.

Modify "Publish for Approval" web page?

Is there a way to modify the "Publish for Approval" web page in Aperture?
The original package includes a PNG file you can modify to put your logo on, but nothing else.
Thanks for any input.
David

I'm not the developer of this interesting looking package, but it doesn't look like it's something that will work with .Mac at all.
The web pages is creates rely on an application to be running on the machine that's serving the web page (which, as it's designed, would be your local Mac). This application needs to receive approvals from the web page events, and also needs to be on your machine so that it can use AppleScript to set the metadata in your Aperture library so that the approved pictures show up in the smart group. Neither of these are possible if the site is served on .Mac.
In theory, this could run on a remote machine, since AppleScript can target processes on remote machines. But to make it work, you'd still need the CGI application on the server, and you'd also need to open your Mac to allow remote AppleScript execution over the Internet (which gets into network setup, probably secure SSH tunnels, etc). Your Mac would also still need to be on, and allowing this connection, otherwise Aperture wouldn't be notified when someone approved pictures.
To make a short story long, it won't work with .Mac.

Is there any way to edit the standard Firefox context menu for displayed Web pages?

Is there any way to edit the standard Firefox context menu for displayed Web pages? I frequently want to save a picture appearing on a page. Sometimes I "slip" and hit "Send Image" when I want "Save Image As", and have to sit and wait for a default send-mail page to come up, then close it, fiddling with its "are you sure" dialogs. This is a painful way to handle a slip-up. I basically NEVER want to e-mail an element directly from a page. Is there any way I can just delete "Send Image" from the context menu?

You can remove entries in the context menu with code in the userChrome.css file

What is the best sound conversion software for making apple sound files?

What is the best sound conversion software for making apple sound files?

Depending on the file formats, you may not have to do any conversion.
The following shows what the native Quicktime Player Supports:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3775
and Quicktime Player is pretty much the core for all Apple app
playback.
And if that doesn't cover it, there are other players, many of
which are free, that may cover what you need (WINAMP, VLC,
Songbird etc.).

Where did the "Stop" button go on the Navigation Bar in ff4? It isn't included in the Customize box. Is there anyway to install the "Stop" button for loading web pages or is this option compeletly gone from Firefox now?

Just installed upgrade to Firefox 4.0. Where did the "Stop" button go on the Navigation Bar. I checked the Customize dialogue box and it isn't included. Is anyone else missing it? Is there anyway to install the "Stop" button for loading web pages or is this option completely gone from Firefox now? It was a very helpful button and allowed us users to stop a web page and move on if it wasn't what we needed.

In Firefox 4 by default the Stop, Go and Reload buttons are combined and attached to the right hand edge of the location bar.
When you are typing in the location bar it will show the Go button. When a site is loading it shows the Stop button. At other times it shows the Reload button.
If you want separate buttons, right-click on a toolbar and choose Customize, you can then drag and drop the stop or reload buttons and place them elsewhere. If you place them in the order "Reload-Stop" on the right hand edge of the location bar they will be combined again. For more details on customizing the toolbar see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar
