Adobe locks out "paid" GoLive users - is Dreamweaver next?

Adobe GoLive 9 has worked fine for me until this last week. Sometime in the last few days Adobe shut off the license server and now GoLive 9 doesn't work. They offered me a link for a much older version (CS2), but said they couldn't supply the newer version (it was too old). I can not believe the arrogant attitude of this company. I've been loyal to Adobe for 25 years and have bought almost all of their products - until they came out with their "rental" program. Any others that still use GoLive, or is it just me?

I don't want to address the issue of whether or not Adobe should or should not still be supporting a program that was killed long ago. Obviously if GoLive has still been serving your needs, then it's understandable that you are upset to have the rug pulled out from under you.
Many of us here were once GoLive users. Personally, I was thrilled when Adobe purchased DreamWeaver and stopped offering GoLive. It was not easy switching from the GoLive environment to the DreamWeaver environment, but it made sense to me so the effort was worth it.
Technologies, methods, and design practices change on the internet rapidly, as you know. I think you should take this as an opportunity to stay abreast with trends and migrate to a more contemporary toolset. Your web presence will be better for it.

    Thanks for your suggestion, I will look into both products. With absolutely no help from Adobe staff, I have been able to locate a solution to the problem. Everyone at Adobe support couldn't tell me where I could download the files I needed. Finally I found them. I’m happy to say it’s working on both my Macs again (for now).

  • User's Desktop locked out and root user can't fix it

    check this out:
    I've got a user on this machine that can't save anything to her desktop. The folder behaves like she has no write permissions, but a quick ls -al shows that the folder is owned by her, and her user has permissions to rwx . Even stranger, when I sudo su and try to issue a chmod for that folder, root is denied permission to do so. Stop me if I'm crazy, but isn't root God? Last time I checked, on a *nix based system, root can do anything it wants.
    :/Users/xxxxxx root# chmod 755 Desktop/
    chmod: Desktop/: Operation not permitted
    yep...even though I'm root...not allowed....
    even stranger
    drwx------ 42 xxxxxx xxxxxx 1428 Nov 19 22:43 Desktop
    and the user xxxxxx can't even write to the folder even though the
    user has permission to....

    yes, it was nailed for gutbunny, but this did not nail it for me. situation: new 32 GB USB flash drive that was allowed to go to sleep with mac book pro 15" 2.33 using mac os 10.4.11. it woke up with no permissions to write to owner or admin user or root. did the following:
    GeoG5-2:/Volumes/DiskGO george$ sudo chflags nouchg .
    chflags: .: Read-only file system
    chflags: .: Read-only file system
    GeoG5-2:/Volumes/DiskGO george$ pwd
    /Volumes/DiskGO
    GeoG5-2:/Volumes/DiskGO george$ ls -l
    total 128
    drwxrwxrwx 1 george george 16384 Feb 14 21:43 !DrawingLT
    drwxrwxrwx 1 george george 16384 Feb 14 19:14 !TeachingLT
    drwxrwxrwx 1 george george 16384 Jan 19 08:54 !Words(new)
    drwxrwxrwx 1 george george 16384 Feb 15 08:26 DiskGO stuff
    short answer is that neither admin george nor root can unlock this thumb drive. and i've tried this with lock/unlock in both positions. should i send it back to the mfgr for replacement?
    thanks

  • Locked out of my user account - can anyone help please!?

    Hi all
    I have a rather annoying issue that only happened a few hours ago and I have come here to ask for help if I may because I do not have the experience to resolve it on my own.
    Here goes.. Using my 2009 mbp, running snow leopard 10.6, computer hangs with spinning ball, try to shutdown and it just hangs. So I shutdown with the power button and when I power up I find I cannot access my standard user account with everything in it - I get a message saying " cannot access account at this time due to an error" .
    The mbp I'm using has two drives : one intel ssd for osx and program's and a hitachi hdd for storage. The hitachi drive is in a caddy in the place of the SuperDrive and the SuperDrive is now in an external enclosure and the intel ssd in the hard drive bay.
    Things I have tried :
    I have booted in safe mode - same error message.
    Cleared PRAM - same error message.
    Booted from system disc and tried to reset password - same error message.
    Ran disc utility from cd and I see that the hitachi hdd is not mounted - it will not let me mount the volume, first aid sees that it's still alive but that's all it will do.
    The intel ssd checks out just fine in disc utility first aid - I repaired permissions.
    I suspect the hitachi hdd is at fault but would really like someone's educated opinion if that's ok? As all my data is on it and stupidly I have not backed all of it up.
    I am having to send this from my iPhone !
    Many thanks
    David

    It sounds like the Hitachi with your home folder may have died or become problematic, in one way or another. This won't solve that problem, but it may help to get you to be able to at least log in. These instructions are for resetting a password with a CD, not your issue, but it will allow you to create a new admin account, so at least you will be able to login. Not sure what will solve the problem with the Hitachi, if it won't mount because, for all intents and purposes, it's dead. If that's the case--and can't be certain it is--you might need some kind of recovery software. (Google that for Mac. There are many available programs.) That booting in Safe Mode doesn't fix the issue is not a good sign.
    Make certain you give this new account admin privileges.
    Reset Mac Password – without a CD or Boot Drive
    reset mac password Using a pretty nifty trick you can reset a forgotten Mac password without a Mac OS X installer CD/DVD or any kind of boot drive or recovery partiton, and without having an Apple ID. This is basically the be-all-end-all approach if nothing else works, because it’s guaranteed to get you back into a Mac when the other options are available, and it works in literally all versions of OS X. The steps may seem a little intimidating at first but I assure you it’s easy if you follow them exactly, here is exactly how to do this in three stages:
    Stage 1) Boot into Single User Mode and remove a setup file
        Restart the Mac holding down the Command+S keys, this will take you into Single User Mode and it’s Terminal interface
        You’ll need to check the filesystem first:
        fsck -fy
        Next, you must mount the root drive as writeable so that changes will save:
        mount -uw /
        Now, type the following command exactly, followed by the enter key:
        rm /var/db/.applesetupdone
        reset forgot mac password
        After removing the applesetupdone file, you need to reboot, type ‘reboot’ and hit enter
    Stage 2) Create a New User Account upon System Boot
    You aren’t finished, but the hard part is now over – no more command lines, you’ll now be in the familiar Mac OS X GUI to finish the password reset process. In this step we just create a new user account as if you just got a new Mac:
        Upon reboot, you will be presented with the traditional “Welcome Wizard” startup screen just like when you first get a Mac
        Follow the welcome wizard and create a new user account – making the account name different from the account whose password you want to recover
        Continue on and boot into Mac OS X with this newly created user account, this new user account is an Administrator and has administrative access

  • Office 2010 & 2007 - Excel and Access File Locking Out On the Network With Multiple Users

    This is also posted in the Office 2010 - IT Pro General Discussions, but was suggested to repost here, since a definitive answer was not found.
    Hi,
    An issue that's happening is that Excel and Access files are locking on the network. We're currently using Office 2007 and 2010.
    Here are some different scenarios that are happening:
    When opening the file it is locked out by “User X” which is the person that has the file locked out and no one else can open the file.
    When opening the file it is locked out by “User Y” which is NOT the actual person, but is locked out by “User X” and no one else can access the file.
    When opening the file  it is locked out by “…another user” which is generic and no one else can access the file.
    The two more common events are incident 1 and 2 with 3 happening the less common.
    This message will continue until the sessions are closed through computer management on the file server.
    The file server is running Windows Server 2003.
    This does happen on both Windows XP and Windows 7 clients.
    This does happen for users using Office 2007 and Office 2010.
    There are two sets of Office 2010 Users when it comes to patches. Everyone has the most current patches with Office 2010 SP2 while anyone that has Microsoft Project 2010 is using all the current update before Office 2010 SP2.
    All users that are using Office 2007 have all the current patches and service packs.
    Another variable is that we have users that will leave a file open on the network for 3+ days and after a while it will lock the file out.
    Also we have Shadow Copy that runs daily on the system which I'm not for sure if that impacts anything if a file is opening during that time.
    Any ideas on how to mitigate the lock out issues would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Binary Process
    Edit November 12, 2013: This issue can occur if and if not another person actually has the file open. If the person doesn't have the file open then there is a hung connection which needs to be disconnected by going to the Computer Management of the File
    server.

    Hi Binary,
    I know that the description of the hotfix does not relate to the issue. The purpose is to install it for upgrading SMB related file.
    A similar issue I encountered before:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/b7fcc59b-52d9-4a02-863a-1a529bcb8cb1/temp-doc-etc-files-dont-close-after-a-file-closes-this-causes-locked-files?forum=winserverfiles
    It is resolved by upgrading SMB files so maybe it will help on your case.

  • Trying to lock out Solaris 11 non-root users but not working-

    Hi,
    We are trying to lock out non-root user after 5 unsuccessful login attempts by editing the policy.conf file but it's not working..It's working in the global zone but not in the non-global zones. Is there something else we need to do?
    This is Solaris 11 with Solaris 11 NGZs.
    kind regards

    It works exactly the same way in the global and non global zone cases. This code is 100% userland so it doesn't mater if it is running
    in a global or non global zone.
    Note that you do need to configure policy.conf in both the global and non global zone.
    Are both configured similarly with respect to nameservices ?
    Currently we only support lock_after_retries for the local files nameservice.

  • ITunes 90 day lock out on iMac - only one AppleID can use a Mac at any one time?

    Just found out, the hard way, about Apple's patently ridiculous "90 Day Lockout" policy on iTunes (Match, Purchases download and pretty much ALL the useful features).
    Apparently, at least according to Support - who feigned surprise that this was an issue - if you blow £1,200 on an iMac to be used by two people in your home and have paid Apple an extra £25 a head for iTunes Match, you're terribly gullible. And stupid. And a potential music thief.
    The real problem is that Apple, probably in a bid to secure record label agreement to iTunes Match and in a vain attempt to curb unlawful music sharing, has decided that NO MORE THAN ONE APPLE ID can be associated with a machine ID at any one time, for iTunes purposes.
    This is fine on iPhone, iPod Touch and even iPad. Those are hardware that only one person can use at a time - there is no "multi-user" capability.
    Macs, though, are a different matter.  In Apple World we're all filthy rich and each member of a household is expected to own a separate Mac machine (iMac, MacBook Pro or Air) to be able to use the functionality and music they've paid for in iTunes and via Match.
    If you're stupid or poor or just think a Mac per person in a household is consumerism gone mad, you are stuffed.
    In our case we bought an iMac. Set up two separate and distinct User IDs and one of us set up iTunes and activated iTunes Match.
    Next day the other went into their User account, set up iTunes and then activated iTunes Match. A very very vague message popped up alluding to "transferring an Apple ID to this machine" and referencing inability to use this AppleID on another machine for 90 days. That seemed OK. The AppleID had been associated on an old Compaq netbook for iTunes, so the assumption was that it was that association that was being transferred to the iMac.
    WRONG!
    What had happened was that the second person to sign in to the iMac and set up their TOTALLY SEPERATE AppleID on a TOTALLY SEPERATE iTunes Match library and account had effectively locked out the first user from their iTunes account.
    So, if you're a family with individual iTunes accounts and iTunes Match don't bother with Apple Mac products. For the cash you spend on one mac product that only one of you will be able to use iTunes on EVERY 90 DAYS, you'd be better off buying separate, higher spec Windo$e laptops to sync with.
    Apple has really really fouled up on this.
    Support initially justified this lock out policy as being to prevent Johnny Fileshare from zipping round to his mate's house, logging into iTunes with his AppleID on his mates PC or Mac and downloading his paid for iTunes library onto his mates Mac as a gift.
    Just how likely such a random outburst of philanthropy at the expense of record labels would be is beyond me.
    During a near two hour call with support (use the Call Me function - at least the call is free) eventually, after an escalation, the tech agreed that the 90 days AppleID  lock was pointless as Apple themselves publish details in their knowledge base on how to circumvent music sharing restrictions and combine iTunes libraries - even helpfully including details of how to put said combined iTunes library on a memory stick. Johnny Fileshare can then nip round his mates house and share his iTunes content with his mate until the cows come home.
    Even worse, Apple even allow you to burn to CD a combined iTunes library up to FIVE TIMES!
    But, when it comes to logging into your own iTunes account on a shared Mac? Forget it matey. You'll steal music and can't be trusted.
    Well FU too, Apple.
    But wait! You may think you're OK because you weren't foolish enough to hand over £25 for iTunes Match...
    BEWARE: THE 90 DAY LOCKOUT IS ACTIVATED THE SECOND A USER ON A MAC ACTIVATES EITHER:
    1. Automatic downloads, or
    2 iTunes Match
    OR IF THEY HAVE THE TEMERITY TO:
    1. Check previous purchases
    THIS RENDERS ITUNES AS A PRODUCT/SERVICE WORSE THAN USELESS ON SHARED MACS.
    We have 82 days to wait for one of us to regain access to the library that cost us a fortune to build in iTunes.
    1 Week old iMac is being boxed up & returned to Apple Store.
    Two high spec non Apple  laptops being bought as a replacement. The change to be spent on petrol or pasties - which ever the UK  is running out of most...

    Yes, I am having this problem because I have 2 Apple IDs/iTunes accounts.  Mind you, I don't want 2 accounts but Apple forced me to make a new apple ID when they started requiring email addresses as user ID.  This was the first big mistake that Apple made.  Their second mistake was not allowing people to simply merge these accounts.  Had they not made these mistakes initially, many people would still only have one Apple account/ID. Some bloke ought to lose his job over that. 
    However, I understand this isn't the same problem as having multiple household members using the same computer.  It seems that Apple could figure this all out by either authorizing multiple users at the time of purchase, or allowing a handful of users to download to one computer. After all, if I bought a hard copy of a music CD, I could certainly allow my son or daughter to listen to it or download it to their computer.  Next thing you know, I'll have to sign a release saying that I am the only person that uses my iPod.
    I am also returning not just one but 2 brand new Mac computers ($4500 coming back from Apple to my wallet) because I am so fed up with the poor customer service response that Apple has given this problem.  Not only did they take a ton of my money for iTUnes songs, but then they restricted my access to those songs. I think it's criminal and I wouldn't be surprised if this issue ended up as a class action wrongdoing suit.  I have to admit I've considered talking to a lawyer about it myself.  I am so sick of large monopolizing companies thinking that they can treat their customers poorly and expect us to sit back and take it. The good news is that this is a free country and I can choose to throw my money at any old company I choose..........Toshiba here I come.

  • IPhones cause windows accounts to lock out due to activesync

    We have 200+ iPhones in our environment, all of which are causing their respected user accounts to lock out after the users change their password.  It appears that they unlike their Android counterparts are not syncing their password through ActiveSync like they should.  Bug exists from iOS 6

    Sorry. You're just plain wrong. Where, exactly, do you think the phone is supposed to get the new password from? AD? Sorry. That's not going to happen. It would be a huge security problem if password changes were automatically pushed out to every connected device. What would you do if an account was compromised? Changing the password would no longer fix the problem.
    I AM an Exchange admin.
    This is a user education problem, plain and simple.

  • I'm locked out my iPod what do I need to do

    I'm locked out my iPod 2gen

    Hello Marcos121
    The next step to get your iPod touch back up and working is to put it in recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. If you have a back up, through iTunes or iCloud, then you can use that to put the data back on once complete.
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

  • How an Admin user log into a lock out standard user account?

    I remember that I was able to override the access to the standard account user when the standard user has the screen lock out. This appear to be missing in Lion. Has anyone knows how to do this in Lion? Thanks.

    From my personal experience I can say that at times, four folders (i guess Assets is one of them) somehow get left in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 11 Organizer folder.
    I delete them and restart my system.. and reinstallation works fine. If that's the case with you, you can try it.
    CS Cleaner tool might also help.
    Thanks

  • Unity Connection - Users with system default password getting locked out

    Hi all, hope everyone is well !!
    I am experiencing a strange problem and hope someone can give me some direction on where to start digging on this issue.
    I am getting a good number of users reporting they are getting locked out of their voice mail and they all claim that they have not changed their password and some user even got their greeting recorded by someone else. One thing in common for the users who reported the issue is that they all using the system default password. I am trying to trace to find out who/what has access to these users' mailbox but so far I have not had any luck.
    Thanks in advance !!
    Danny

    Thanks, yes am doing that now and cant really find any new/unique pattern. Plus the trace is pretty hard to follow. Cant really figure out any times stamps in the trace also. The current trace file is defaultTrace.18.trc and it has very simiiar content as some of the older ones before the problem. Right now the ESS portal is working and the slddsuser password is not locked. It seems the problem takes place on start up?
    /usr/sap/ESS/JC77/j2ee/cluster/server0/log
    Tough thing to test in production.
    I wonder what takes place at startup that would kick this problem off?
