What do I need to learn to make a responsive website?

Hiya
Haven't checked in here for a few years.
15 years ago or thereabouts, I learned HTML4 (from Castro's book) and hand-coded a website. I managed to create one CSS page. Whoopee!
Then I got DW4, and later an update. and that was SWELL. And there's my level. I'm not cutting edge, am I?
These days I maintain a site for some friends, and they'd like to upgrade it. Half an hour on Google learns me the term "responsive." Looks like y'gotta be good w/CSS, and be doing HTML5.
First question, is there a DW update, or any other WYSIWYG program that will convert an existing site into Responsive, or build one more-or-less the way DW does the HTML4 ones?
Second question, if there isn't, what's the list of things I'd have to learn to reboot myself? And any suggestion as to where/how? Remembering what my level is....?
Thanks

Responsive Web Design (RWD) has some limitations. Honestly, some web designers just can't do it because they're not willing to abandon old-school tables and/or compromise on their design ideas. But if you approach this with an open mind and don't try to build anything too fancy or restrictive, RWD can be very rewarding.
Always consider your mobile users first. They interact with their devices differently than desktop users. For example, mobile users need less content and bigger, finger-friendly menus, buttons and forms. There are volumes written about this subject on the web. Spend some time learning the theory as well as the code before you dive in to your first RWD project.
Start with these links:

What do I need to do to make a our website currently running on a WINDOWS based server to a Linux Se

Will dreamweaver convert my site to work on LINUX servers..? All my pages are .asp.

To add to John, if your current site does not have any ASP/ .NET content and does not rely on a MsSQL database, you can switch to Linux host without any hassles.
If you're running any .asp, .aspx files you may have trouble moving them into Linux like John says and you need to migrate the statutory code into PHP or JSP (if your Linux host has a Tomcat extension and if you prefer JSP to PHP).
We can help you better if you tell us what setup you currently have on your Windows server.

I just got my Mac back from Apple repair and I can't burn a disc. What do I need to do to make that happen?

Hello deneye2112,
Thank you for providing the details of the burning issue you are experiencing. I found some resources that I think might help:
First, I recommend resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac (I wasn't sure if you had a removable battery or a built in battery, so I listed the steps for both):
Resetting the SMC on Mac portables with a battery you can remove
Note: Learn about removing the battery on MacBook and MacBook Pro.
Shut down the computer.
Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
Remove the battery.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your ownNote: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

If you are still having trouble with burning after that step, I recommend reviewing the section titled "Top troubleshooting tips" in the following article:

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

I updated SCCM 2012 R2 from CU3 to CU4. Where can I find good directions on what else I need to do to make this work?

I updated SCCM 2012 R2 from CU3 to CU4. Where can I find good directions on what else I need to do to make this work? I'm assuming I have to deploy the new clients?
Thanks,

You have to create different collections (x64 vs x86 clients) because the .msp to be deployed is architecture specific.
"Distribute content" just distributes binaries to distribution points. You can select a collection there, but that has nothing to do with clients. It just distributes content to DPs that are assigned to collections.
Torsten Meringer | http://www.mssccmfaq.de
Ok. That is helpful. I appreciate the response. I hate to ask another question, but I', still learning the product. In the Step-by-Step SCCM 2012 R2 CU4 Installation Guide from System Center Dudes, it says to create the collections by using their predefined
queries. I tried to enter these as queries but I think I am doing so in the wrong area of the collection creation process. Could you break it down for me?
Do you know of any good training (free) that is video based an breaks SCCM 2012 R2 down into smaller more detailed steps?
Thanks,

Recently purchased a used IPad 2 but it still has previous owner's data. I've been told not to sync it to my computer as it will cause problems. What do I need to do to make it compatible with accounts on my mac and ipod touch?

You can wipe the iPad's contents completely by going to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. This will remove all of the previous user's apps, data, settings and so on from the iPad and you can set it up as your own.

Hope you are backing up anyway, but be sure you have an up to date backup. Repair permissions in Disk Utility, then restart from the Snow Leopard disk you buy (in the above link) and do an upgrade (only changes the OS), not a clean install (which wipes all data). Others on here may chime in on their thoughts on how best to do this, but I've never had trouble over 20+ years doing it this way. If you aren't having crashes and strange problems now you should be fine. Please write back or start a new thread (you'll get more help than continuing in this thread which has printing problems in the header) that has something like "Need help upgrading from Tiger to Snow Leopard" that will attract more help.

Where are you seeing that information? Got a link?
According to the Adobe website: Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9) compatibility FAQs | CC, CS6, Acrobat
Plenty of people, including me, are currently running CC on Mavericks.

Wendy, as a_a has explained, when power is removed, the data is gone.
If you want to put this problem to rest, remove either of the battery connections; this will assure the data is gone forever!

I have an ipad 3 with vz, what do i need to do to make it work in europe

I have an iPad 3 6.1.3 with cellular network with verizon. I am going to Europe in a couple weeks and need to use my ipad while im there. What do I need to do to make my ipad work?

Since the EU does not use CDMA technology, your Verizon iPad won't connect to any cellular systems anyway, but it does not hurt to turn cellular data off to preserve battery life.
Note that if you use Airplane mode that will turn cellular off too, but it also disables GPS (which you may need if you have a navigation app with pre-loaded map and POI data -- highly recommended if you don't know your way around).
