Contribute CS3 locks up iMac

Hi,
I have a friend who had been using the Mac version of
Contibute 3, then upgraded to Contribute 4 and now upgraded to
Contribute CS3. Here problem began about 8 months ago and she has
been on the phone with Adobe support for hours with no resolution
to fixing it. Her basic problem is that she can edit find but when
she goes to Publish her site, he computer locks up and she has to
unplug everything in order to get out of it. She uses Road Runner
connecting through a Linksys router and has to unplug these 2
devices to get her computer to boot again. Any idea what might be
happening with all of this. I don't use Contribute but I know that
there is a solution for her problem - anyone can give point me in
the right direction or a way to resolve this? She likes Contribute
since it's so easy to use. I tried to get her to use Go Live but
she didn't like it as much. Any input greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
David

Hi again,
I did find out that my friend's problem is somehow connected
to the way Contribute connects to the internet. When I plug her
iMac directly into her cable modem, Contribute CS3 works
flawlessly. When I connect it to her Linksys router, it bombs her
computer everytime she tries to publish a page. Any ideas greatly
appreciated.

  • Contribute CS3 Locking up pages

    My client just began using Contribute CS3 and each time she
    edits a page, then publishes, she can no longer access the page for
    further editing until we unlock the page for her.
    She'll get an error that 'this page is being edited by her
    and not available to edit'. Or the message will say she's editing
    the page on another computer.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so, how did
    you resolve it?

    I have been having the same problem with both Contribute 3.1
    and CS3. It only occurs when I have a lot of links on the page. I
    am now using spry menus and have a lot of links on every page and
    so Contribute is locking up when I try to publish. Then you can't
    use it again until you clear out the drafts. Without the spry menus
    it was always just one draft page, but now with the spry menu it
    grabbed all of my links to other pages and created a draft for each
    one. I now have to clear out around 50 drafts. Can anyone help with
    this?

  • In Contribute CS3, using MacBookPro with Snow Leopard HELP locked

    I am using Contribute CS3 and I can connect to site, but when I get into the edit screen whenever I click anywhere, I get the rainbow spiral and it literally takes 20 to 30 minutes to stop.  then when I click again to do something it starts again and I can't ever make any changes.  It says I also have an unpublished document but when I click on the "unpublished document" hot words, I go into spiral again.  what can I do?   I am on a MacBook Pro with snow Leopard.

    That error is NOT because of the activation. That's a separate issue.

  • Dreamweaver 8 and Contribute CS3

    Is Contribute CS3 compatible with Dreamweaver 8?

    Since Dreamweaver users checkout the files, Lock will be
    created for those file (.LCK), so Contribute users can't edit the
    page until the files are checked in and lock is released.

  • Contribute is locking up IIS

    Hi,
    Our client is using Contribute 4 to update an asp.net site.
    He's been using it without any issues for months, but now he's
    getting an error when publishing. Contribute attempts to publish,
    but then gets a "cannot connect to server" error. This then
    generates an IO exception where IIS appears to be hung. Contribute
    saves a draft in his draft folder, and when he deletes the draft or
    closes Contribute, he's left with a blank page (on the live site!),
    and the IO exception has gone away. I can use my version of
    Contribute without any problems.
    Any suggestions? I had him disable his virus scanner and
    reinstall Contribute, but so far nothing has worked.

  • Adobe Contribute CS3 Connection Error

    I am trying to use Adobe Contribute CS3 Version 3.1 to connect our web server.  I can use WS_FTP and WinSCP to connect to it fine.  Our web server is running under CentOS 5.x.  When I try to connect using the connection wizard in Contribute, I receving the following error:
    Contribute cannot verify your connection information. 
    /tmp
    Please  contact your administrator for assistance.
    I have tried both FTP and SFTP.  Again, I can login, navigate to /tmp and upload, download, and delete files fine using WinSCP.  Can someone let me know what Contribute is trying to do to verify the connection?  Is there a log file?  Any help is appreciated.

    When I first tried to connect to our web server, I received a similar error.  What worked for me was getting rid of the folder designation when trying to connect in Contribute (in your case /tmp) and allowing users to have permissions to access all folders on the web server.  I create Contribute roles to limit the users to specific folders.
    I hope that helps.

  • Dreamweaver MX 2004 with Contribute CS3

    Good Afternoon,
    I have Adobe CS3 Web Premium edition, but a colleague located
    interstate is using DreamWeaver MX 2004. I would like him to design
    a dreamweaver template for use in Contribute CS3. Are there any
    known compatibility issues with doing this, or any DreamWeaver CS3
    features that we would maybe miss out on?
    Thanks in advance!

    I don't think this would be a problem, since you can
    administer the site from within Contribute. The template souirce
    code hasn't changed, so Contribute will find the templates and the
    editable regions.
    You could always decide to turn of the compatiblity in
    dreamweaver if there are problems with the cheking in and out
    system.

  • How do I browse directory contents in Contribute CS3?

    Hi everyone!
    I have one of our users uploading photos to our website.  At the moment she uses an FTP connection via Adobe Contribute CS3 to our web server.  This has worked great in the past.  However, at the moment she's uploading pictures to a dynamic website [Wordpress] and not using Contribute to edit the pages directly [as this is obviously done with the Wordpress Administration web panel].  The method she has been using is, within Adobe Contribute CS3, File>Publish File from My Computer.  This is great, but the problem is that she can only upload one file at a time, and if she's already uploaded the file, she has no way of knowing she's uploaded it before, except for that Contribute appends a 001 at the end of the file name.
    How can she access a folder structure within Contribute CS3, treating it like an FTP client?  I'm sure this must be doable.  Yes, I could install an FTP client, but she's very comfortable using Contribute CS3 and uses this application for other portions of the website which are static.
    Thanks in advance for any advice!

    Hi,
         To check if she's already uploaded the file, she can click the Choose button in Contribute. On clicking Choose button, Choose File dialog will be shown. In this dialog, she can browse to the appropriate folder in which she had published the images, and verify the contents.
         For uploading multiple files through Publish File from my Computer, I do not think it is possible as of now. There can be a workaround though, insert all the images you want to a web page, and publish the web page to the website. Then, all the images will be published along with the web page. Then, you can delete that web page.
    Note: The images in a web page, generally are placed in the 'images' directory of the website by Contribute. If you are placing the images in different folder, then, make sure that you change the publish folder for images to that folder.

  • Copy/Paste images into Contribute CS3

    We have been copying and pasting images from Word Documents
    in Office 2003 into Contribute CS3 at my organization when
    developing content. We have been able to copy/paste images from
    Office 2003 and other programs like Paintshop Pro and SnagIt.
    Since upgrade to Microsoft Office 2007 all image copying and
    pasting has stopped working.
    Is there a known issue with this?
    Does anyone else have Office 2007 installed and is able to
    copy/paste images from a Word Document into a page in Contribute
    CS3?

    It appears that the problem only occurs if you are copy and
    pasting from something that hasn't been saved yet.
    In Word I inserted an image from my hard drive and tried to
    copy/paste it into Contribute and that failed. I then saved the
    Word Document to my hard drive, re-opened it and was able to
    copy/paste fine.
    Power Point, Snagit and Pain Shop Pro appear to have the
    problem even if it's been saved first.
    I was able to copy/paste an image from a Word Doc and
    PowerPoint into MSPaint just fine. I was also able to copy/paste
    between Office applications with out any problem. Snagit could
    copy/paste into Office just fine and MSPaint.
    This problem appears to be specific to Contribute CS3 but
    only from certain sources.

  • Can I lock a iMac using iCloud if someone sign outs from iCloud?

    Hi everyone,
    I just wanted to make some tests on my iMac. I activated "Find My Mac" through iCloud. When I am signing out from iCloud (Control panel on OSX's system preference) iCloud.com is showing no device to track. Also, if I change account on iCloud the device cannot be tracked.
    My question is;
    If my iMac gets stolen and if the theif sign out from iCloud or change iCloud account can I still track or remote lock the iMac?

    No. The Mac/device has to have had the 'Find My...' app enabled, and thus be signed in, be on, not wiped, and able to connect to a network.

  • I want MACROMEDIA Contribute CS3

    I bought for my client a copy of Contribute CS3. He's
    currently using Macromedia Contribute 3, one month demo. He likes
    it, so I want to make it official. It's a small package for a small
    nice programm (30MB in size). When I ordered Adobe Contribute CS3
    the package was 300MB!!! What is happening ??
    So I installed Adobe Contribute CS3 on his system, which took
    a lot of time 45min. or so. But after the install I got Adobe
    Bridge CS3 WHY?, Adobe Assets WHY?, Adobe Scripting WHY?, Adobe
    version cue WHY? etc. etc. etc.
    Why o why do I need a program like mDNSResponder.exe only
    needed for I-tunes.!!!!
    I DON'T need those ADOBE PAYLOADS. I only need what\ I bought
    for and that is Adobe Contribute CS3. Please GIVE me a CLEAN
    INSTALL. Where is the good old support of Macromedia.!!!! Even
    UNINSTALL CS3 took half an hour.
    There is NO option to only install Contribute CS3. It's ALL
    or NOTHING
    It's realy a BAD Adobe experience !!!!!!

  • CS3 License on Imac and MacBook Pro

    Hi
    I have 3 licenses for CS3 Design Premium. Two of them are used on a PC and one of them on my machine (Imac).
    Now I have recently purchased a Macbook Pro and I want to use the same license as that on the Imac for my laptop. Can I do it?
    I am assuming that both machines should not be used simultanously. Now when I am travelling with my Macbook, my fixed machine (Imac) is not really used by anyone else but there are chances that someone might just browse through and use CS3 occassionally. In that case am I breaching the contract?
    Is there a method where only when I log in then I can use CS3 on the Imac? This would ensure that while I am travelling people can use my Imac as a guest login but not use CS3.
    In any case, my first requirement is can i install my single license on an Imac and Macbook Pro?
    regards,
    Alim

    I have the exact same problem. iCloud drive on my iMac and macbook pro contain some of the same files, but not all.
    Files that haven't synced are several days old rather than weeks to months old, so possibly this is a verrrry slow sync issue hopefully.

  • Photoshop CS3 locks up when trying to open an EPS file

    Hello everyone. I have a problem with CS3 locking up when trying to open an EPS file. The files were created in Quark 4.0. Not sure if it has anything to do with my new computer, which has Microsoft XP 64 bit. There's another computer in my office which has CS4 that can open these files. Please help..!! Thank you.

    Try installing a PostScript printer on your XP64 system. For some reason this often seems to fix issues with EPS handling...
