Which version should I consider: Dreamweaver CS5 MAC or PC?

I'm ready to make the leap from FrontPage 2003 to Dreamweaver.  I have an iMAC with LION OS and run Parallels.  I'm currently using FP2003 and have for many years and an very comfortable with it. But I understand it's time to make a leap of faith and try something new. My dilemma lies with this:  Which version of CS5 should I get?  Should I run the MAC or PC version?  I only use MAC products but I want to be able to convert my FP web sites easily.  Would one OS work better than the other?
I also noticed in discussions that the Photo Gallery attribute is not in this current version. That is disappointing.  Does CS5 have other alternatives for photo viewing?
And lastly, what resources would you suggest for assisting with the "learning curve" from FP to Dreamweaver?
Thanks for any info!

  • Flip4Mac: Which version should I upgrade?

    Hello everyone,
    I have Quicktime 7.0.4 Pro and I sometimes do need to import some *.wma "crap" into my footage (which then is edited by FCP). I guess I need to upgrade my Flip4Mac from the free version (currently 2.0.2). Could you please tell me which version should I go for? My choice would be one of Player Pro ($29), Studio ($49) and Studio Pro ($99). Which one should I pick and which version you guys are using the most in conjuction with Final Cut Pro 5? (The best value for money)
    Thank you very much for your guide in this matter, all the advices are warmly welcome.
    Cheers,
    James

    Pro lets you start with WMV and make QT (or in Toast you can use WMV as source files and make MPEG-1, 2 VCD or DVD etc.)
    The Studio $49 makes WMV from QT e.g. the other way around. Obviously Bill Gates gets a piece to use a WM encoder. This version has preset WMV settings.
    The last one does the same but lets you set custom encodes.
    If you are never making WMV and that is always a good idea, the $29 adds ability to use WMV in various apps and may be all you need.

    I am planning to purchase an ipad2(with 3G)  in US. Which version should I purchase (AT&T or Verizon)? Will thye be unlocked?
    Can I use them in New Zealand?
    Kannan

    If you want to be able to use the iPad with local micro-sims when you back to New Zealand then you need the AT&T version - the Verizon model is CDMA based and doesn't use sim cards. The AT&T iPad is not locked to them.

  • I am planning to purchase Ipad with 3G which versions should i purchase, so that it can be used back in India

    I am planning to purchase IPad with 3G, which version should i purchase, so that it can be used back in India.

    Get the AT&T version. The verizon is CDMA, which doesn't work in other countries while the AT&T version uses SIM cards, so you can use it with other networks.

  • Dreamweaver CS5 Mac does not remember which items belong to which site after restore * Desperate

    OK so I hope I can explain this OK.
    I needed my HD changed by Apple. So I cloned my drive twice (2 full backups).
    Once I cloned the drive back to the newly installed drive everything seemed OK until I opened Dreamweaver. When the "welcome screen" opens up I click on index.html for one of my sites ( I run 3 ) and it shows the path to it and says it's "not found" well I double checked the exact path it lists and the file is there.
    So I figure no problem I will just use Open and I opened the index file, made my changes, saved and when to go "Put" but it's grayed out. I clicked "Manage Sites" and all my sites are listed.
    So after searching I thought it was a bad site file, I restored it from another backup (Macintosh HD:Users:<username>:Library:Application Support:Adobe:Common:11:Sites:Site Prefs)
    But still same thing.
    I need some serious help as I need to modify my sites a few times a week. I just don't know what I am missing. Everything is where it should be but Dreamweaver acts like it's not.
    Any help??

    OK, got it fixed. Even though it said it was pointed to the correct directory in "local site folder" I picked it again and then it said something like "rebuilding cache". and it worked.
    Thanks!

  • Dreamweaver CS5 Mac - documents won't span monitors

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem with CS5 that didn't happen with CS4 - I use twin 24" screens side by side, and dreamweaver won't let me drag a document any larger than one screen, even to the extent of snapping a document from the second screen back onto the first and resizing it if I attempt to resize it on the second screen bit by bit while nudging it back onto the first.
    Dragging the bottom right corner onto the second screen stops at the edge of the first one. Seems a little odd, since there's a "Dual Screen" workspace layout.
    Is this typical behaviour? It's really driving me nuts because I can't view my code structure without scrolling (or wrapping) any more.
    I've never encountered this behaviour in an app before.
    It's a fresh CS5 Master Suite install on a fresh Mac OS X 10.6.5 install.
    Thanks.

    The Host Directory is blank, thus the root, which is working fine on the PC.
    As far as I can see even thought they format the content in different locations seems all the settings are the same, and since I exported/imported the settings, they should be identical.
    CS5.5 v11.5 Build 5344
    Also noticed this seems to be site specific as other sites work, yet this one does not... keep getting permission errors... have tried changing permissions to various choices, still no luck.. and again works with the permissions they already have on PC so makes no sense that is it.

  • Which version should I buy

    I am very new to Photoshop and image editing. I want to edit photos for diy wall art such as adding borders, distressing, etc.
    Can someone direct me as to which version I should purchase?
    Thank you in advance!

    If you have not used Photoshop I would suggest you start with Photoshop Elements not full Photoshop. Element has some hand holding which is helpful for novice users.  Photoshop is quite complex and all things are not intuitive.  You need to learn how to use Photoshop and it takes a very long time.  You never stop discovering how things are being done in Photoshop. Elements version 13 was just released it can be had for under $100.  It should do you for years and help you learn Photoshop's ways.
    If you buy a wacom Intuos pro small $220 the through in a copy of Elements I received Elements 12 with them.  Perhaps the will change to Elements 13...  Using a pressure sensitive Pen with Brush type tools is much better then using a mouse.  You can have both Mouse and Pen atachec to your machine.

  • Which version should I upgrade to? - 5.7/6.7 or 6.0?

    Hi,
    For the first time, IronPort currently has two WSA releases available for preview*. As there is no upgrade path available between those releases, this is a fork in the release path.
    This obviously raises the question which version you should upgrade to. As I've seen some discussion around this in other posts and as this will become even more important once we hit general availability, I'll try to shed some light on this here.
    So, which version is right for you?
    * The two releases have a different focus and feature set:
    Marconi (5.7 on the WSA, 6.7 on the SMA) introduces Centralized Policy Management and Delegated Administration of your Web Security Appliances via a Security Management Appliance (M-Series).
    * Aurora (6.0) introduces native FTP, Data Loss Prevention / IronPort Data Security, support for AD 2008 and other authentication and policy enhancements.
    Depending on your needs, one of them will be more appealing than the other. For now, you will have to decide which feature set you want to use in the short term until we release a version of AsyncOS for Web / Management that combines both feature sets.
    Important facts to keep in mind:
    * There is no upgrade path from 5.7 to 6.0 or vice versa on the WSA. Once you decide to use the functionality of one of the releases, you will only be able to use the features of the other release after an upgrade to AsyncOS for Web 6.3 and AsyncOS for Management 6.7.3 which is scheduled for Q4 2009.
    * ICCM v1 is no longer available on AsyncOS for Management 6.7 so if you want to manage your Web Security Appliances via ICCM v1 do not upgrade your SMA to 6.7.
    * AsyncOS 6.7 for Management supports Centralized Tracking / Reporting for your Email Security Appliances running AsyncOS 6.5 for Email or newer only. Please ensure that your Email Security Appliances run 6.5 or newer or upgrade accordingly if you want to use them with your SMA.
    * 'preview' means that the release is not generally available yet (slow roll-out) but can be provisioned to anybody interested in the new features or fixes available in the new release.

    You should be able to just tell your client to ftp directly to the proxy and then give the appropriate FTP info, such as the actual FTP server to connect to.
    I'm pretty sure that the exact details are in the User Guide. I'll check the guide shortly.
    If you are doing authentication with FTP proxy, you will have to enter your credentials in the special format that is specified in the FTP configuration.

  • Which Version of XP on a New Mac Mini

    I'm finally dumping my old, slow PC for a new 2.0Ghz Mac Mini w/2GB ram! It's primary use will be to run QuickBooks & all the other dedicated PC software I must still use... and to slowly and without her realizing it, convert my stubborn PC user, accountant Mother over to a Mac. hehe
    This computer will be a part of a small, home/small business, 4 computer network, plus a few laptops from time-to-time - Mac & PC.
    1st, which version of XP; Home or Pro?
    2nd, Is there a particular version of either of these that I need to purchase? 32 bit - 64 bit??? In my google search for the best price on an OEM copy, I found a store that said their copy "will not work on Mac".

    Hi Michael,
    three things about this offer are, at least to me, very suspicious:
    "Microsoft Windows XP Professional Edition With SP2, Full Version on CDR"
    Microsoft never has used CD-R disc (CD-Recordable) for Windows
    "software that does NOT include any COA label or a sticker from the manufacturer"
    There always has to be a sticker, that one puts on the computer on which the Windows license is installed and a COA label as well.
    "VOLUME LICENSE INCLUDED"
    A volume license, from my understanding, was only sold to companys, who install Windows on a larger scale (hundreds of computers) and for that purpose are give only one license-key for all installations.
    Usually this is known as a'corporate license'.
    All in all, I would personally stay away from this offer. It simply doesn't sound legal to me.

  • I have Mac OSX 10.4.11. Every time I try to download Firefox 8, I get a popup that my computer won't support it. Which version should I download, and where can I get lower versions?

    Every time I google Firefox 7, Firefox 8 comes up.

    Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor (which you do have) '''''<u>and</u>''''' OSX 10.5 or higher (you have version 10.4)
    *System Requirements: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/4.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 4] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/5.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 5] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/6.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 6] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/7.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 7] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/8.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 8]
    If you upgrade your OS to 10.5 or greater, you can use the current Firefox version.
    '''''The good news''''' is that Firefox 3.6.24 still supports OSX 10.4 and Macs with the PPC Mac architecture. '''''The bad news''''' is that support for the Firefox 3.6.x series is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.
