Bug in Contribute 6.5??

We have installed Contribute 6.5 and it has been working fine until now. For some reason, the data files within a certain folder have become corrupt and each time you try to edit and then publish a page, the software creates draft copies of all the htm files within the folder and generates a .lck file for every document within the folder as well. As a result, it does not complete the publishing process and then comes up with an error "Contribute has stopped working...".
Not sure what has caused this. It does not affect any other folders that have been created by Contribute (we have multiple webpages). I have deleted all the .lck files and data files that are generated during the publishing process from c:\users\username\app data\adobe\contribute 6.5\ etc as instructed and this has not resolved the problem.
Is this a bug in the software and if so is there a patch available for it?

Hi ngerhardi,
Welcome To Adobe Forums.
Please check your P.M. as we have requested some information from you.
Thanks

Contribute 6.5 on Maverick Bug? (can't update news page)

Adobe - is there a bug with Contribute 6.5 on Apple Maverick ?
I use 6.5 to update my web page news page - but since the Maverick update I can no longer 'post a draft page'.
Contribute 6.5 opens and its downloads a darft of the news page in Contribute 6.5 here on my laptop - I make alterations updates and then submit the new content but this is as far as it goes (contribute says its saved the draft but its like the page is a ghost and the original news page remains as it is untouched).
I did contact Adobe before Christmas re this subject - but there has been no follow up.
Any ideas?
Jp

So this from Adobe today:
I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Our product team knows about the Mavericks incompatibility issue with Contribute and they are working on it as soon as we will have any updates regarding the patch you will be updated about it.

Strange problem with Contribute 3

I have a strange problem with Contribute 3. One of my page
editors changed a single page on my web site and submitted it for
review. When I go to review the page, 75 pages show up to be
reviewed. If I try to edit the actual page that was changed, it
tells me I can't approve the changes until I accept the changes on
the other pages and each of those pages gives the same message...an
infinite loop. The only way to get around this is to reject each
page individually and this took several hours. She tried again and
the same thing happened. How can I fix this problem. I think it is
a bug in Contribute because 74 of these pages had no changes to
them.

Still haven't solved this, even the backup no longer works...Would anyone be interested in helping me by letting me send them a project, making one simple change for me, then saving the project, returning it to me and exporting it as wav?
this would help me tremendously...

Centering text within a table in Contribute

I'm using Contribute on a PC doing testing for a professor's
website. Per my suggestion, the professor purchased Contribute to
edit his pages. Pages are using a table to format the page.
http://www.iun.edu/~edupjb/teaching/E340/course_description.shtml
Within a table Contribute will not let us center text. Since
a cell is used to put the main content, we cannot center the cell.
If another table is added inside the cell, even if we try to use
cell properties, which we can change to center, the text inside the
table does not center. The align icons can not be selected.
Any ideas?

With the design of the pages, the right area is where the
content is located which is in one cell. Centering one or a few
lines within the content area is not working within Contribute. The
whole content area is not wanted to be centered just specified
lines within the td. Centering in DreamWeaver or Microsoft Front
Page are inside a td is possible. Contribute is not letting us
center if trying to do so from within a table.
Thank you for your suggestion. I'll have to try doing it
through css. Since Dreamweaver and Front Page can center within a
table, I don't like having a css definition for something should be
cared for in the program. It would be a class of Center, which the
program should be able to center We have about less than 10 people
using contribute and others mostly using Front Page or Dreamweaver.
I'll keep testing.
Could this be a bug in Contribute?

Inserting an image "You cannot perform this action..."

I see from earlier posts that users are struggling to add
links and are seeing the error "You cannot perform this action in
this area of the page". I am getting the same error when trying to
insert an image. No reason why I should start to get this error.
I've inserted images on this page before. But then Contribute does
seem to start doing (or not doing) things of it's own accord. I
have tried using the <p></p> fix that other users say
work fo rlinks but it doesn't work for images. Frustrated.

I might be able to shed a little light on one possible reason
for this and I believe it to be a bug in Contribute.
This only seems to happen on .asp pages where you have Flash
that you are feeding URL variables into it.
If you edit any editable region on the page for some reason
Contribute wants to bung:
<MM:BeginLock unremovable type="MM_EDITTEXTONLY"
orig="%3C%25=vname%25%3E">
Into my Flash code, thus corrupting the whole page code and
totally confusing Contribute. And this happens even if you are
editing a region totally unrelated to the Flash
code?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!
I tried to take this up some time ago with Adobe support who
were so unhelpful I gave up and rewrote the pages as standard .html
and used template variables instead.
Contact me if you need anymore information.

Publishing New Pages

When I try to publish a new page, after getting it ready and
hitting publish, I get a screen that asks for the folder. If I type
in events/ as the folder for example and try to publish it, I get
an error message that says I can't use certain characters (which I
am not using, the url is fine). It will not accept it. If I hit
browse to get a folder, the screen that comes up is frozen and
won't let me do anything with it. If I click elsewhere, I get a
screen saying waiting for server and it looks like it will wait
forever. At that point, I have to stop Contribute from running and
start over. This happens on both my desktops, so is not a problem
with just one machine.
Any ideas on what do I need to do to get this to work the way
it is supposed to?
Thanks...Phil

Yo Phil!
I'm having a similar problem as you!
When I click 'Publish' to publish a new page
into a specific folder, Contribute won't let me. It freezes
and
I have to shut it down.
For example, I click Publish > Choose Folder > I choose
the folder --
then a screen pops up saying "Waiting for Server" --
the bar takes forever and never goes across, then
everything freezes, forcing me to shut it down.
Is this a bug in Contribute? Does anyone know?
Thanks.

Contribute Publishing Bug?

Hello to all Contribute experts and fanatics alike!
Seems like a lot of folks are having issues with publishing
using Contribute.
As the connection to the web server seems to have a bug, and
from experience
I always have my connection getting cut off, and having to
reconnect again.
For some reason I'm able to publish to my web server, but
I'm unable to publish to my folders on my web server. Anyone
know why?
For example, I make a copy of a new page -- click Publish
> Choose Folder> --
I pick the specific folder I want to publish it to -- click
Select (destination folder) --
a screen pops up saying "Waiting for Server" -- Then it all
freezes, and I have to shut it down.
Anyone know why? Your reply is great appreciated. Thanks.

I don't know if this is a stupid idea and I haven't had this
problem yet, but are these folders perhaps not writable.
There are so many servers and server-configurations out
there... Maybe you could try to fire up a ftp-program (filezilla is
free) and chmod these folders to make them writeable and see what
happens.
Also you could check the user-role settings and make sure
that there aren't any complecations in the way folder-access is
configured there.
grtz.

Contribute Cs5 bug in reading pdf. file

I am using a trial version of Contribute Cs5 on my Mac. When I want to see a pdf. file on my website through Contribute Cs5, after following all the instruction, I got the following message:
The requested URL /SRC_Residents/Interest Group/Walkers schedule/currentmonth__MMtmp315cb6b9/currentmonth.pdf was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I then looked into my website and found that there is an added folder with the above name, but there is nothing in this folder. My file is definitely there because I can see it on my website directly in the same folder as the added folder from Contribute.
I think this is a bug in the Contribute program. Apparently Contribute created this folder but did not put the file in the right place.
I will only consider buying this version if the bug is corrected.
Does the Contribute Cs5 have the same problem in the PC version?
Tsing Bardin

Hi Tsing,
To upload pdf, doc, xls files to your website, you can use the Publish File From My Computer option.
Click File menu, and select Publish File From My Computer from the dropdown menu.
In the resulting dialog, browse to the folder that contains the pdf document, select the pdf document and click Select button. (If you are connected to multiple websites, Contribute will ask you to select which website you would want to upload the file to. Select a website.)
Then, you get the Publish dialog, where, you can choose in which folder you want to publish the file to, and click Publish button.
Now, the file will be uploaded to your website.
Similar to Flash Paper option, latest versions of Contribute has Insert Document as PDF and Insert PDF. So, you can embed a pdf document within your web page and then publish. For more information - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/contribute/cs/using/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d1180fba204e-7f91. html
As for the contents being empty in the temporary folder, the contents are deleted after preview in browser is done. That is, after closing the Browser window after Preview in Browser, the contents in the temporary folder are deleted.

3 iOs 5 bugs no one seems to be talking about

I've noticed 3 bugs in iOs 5 that no one seems to be talking about.
1. Sometimes the setup personal hotspot toggle in settings will keep thinking even if you don't tap on it. I believe this contributes to the poor battery life. I've found the only way to stop this is to reboot with home & power buttons.
2. When playing a movie or music the fast forward/search toggle on top is unresponsive. It takes up to 5 times sometimes for it to pick up that my finger is on it, and by this time it's already skipped around so much that it's pointless.
3. This last one is more of an app compatibility issue. Google's search app times out and is useless now since opening Safari and using the search function in the corner works much faster.
APPLE PLEASE ADDRESS THESE ISSUES IN THE NEW iOS UPDATE

ddizzd,
You're not addressing Apple here, only other users just like yourself. You're just wasting your time and breath on this forum. You need to post here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Windows 8.1 wifi not working after sleep (and other various bugs)

Hello Apple support forum, this is my first post!
Alright, so I just switched to my first mac. MBP Retina late '13. I bought it primarily to run windows, and to also of course use OS10.
My issues in bootcamp however are getting annoying. My Wifi shows up as connected after I resume from sleep, but my mac won't let me disable wifi, enable airplane mode and then re-enable wifi, nothing. The only way to get wifi to work when resuming from sleep is to reboot.
I just set hibernate when close lid on all my power modes, and basically disabled sleep for now. Hibernate works fine for now, but sleep is much faster from resume and also I'm not sure if the machine will wake up from a simple tap on the keyboard or opening of the lid, I think I have to actually boot it all over again anyways.
My other minor but still annoying issue is my titles of windows in windows are showing up as black (screenshot here)
the only other thing I was curious about was the dual-gpu functionality. I know from reading these forums it's probably not possible because of the hardware and software mesh apple created for OSX and their dual-gpu design, how it wouldn't really work in windows. I'm just wondering if anyone ever got this to work in windows maybe on the older retina MBP or older macs, or if anyone is making progress on trying to fix that in windows? I bought this laptop expecting that to work, even the geniuses at the Apple store said it would be possible, I was misled and might have second-gussed buying a 3k machine if it would only get a few more hours battery than my old Vaio. I bought this machine primarily for battery life.
I'm just remembering another tiny tiny issue. When I plug headphones in the headphone jack in windows, it doesn't automatically switch to that audio output, I have to manually do it in audio settings, is this a bug, have I configured something incorrectly, and is there a fix?
One other thing is my dpi settings, I have it set to a larger font and everything because at stock it is SOOO tiny. my question is, is there any way to smooth out text in other apps, my browser and apps like rdio look like crap unless I leave the dpi settings stock, which I basically need a magnifying glass to use (I tried that for a week lol. Not the magnifying glass tho haha)
I know I'm rambling at this point, but in the windows 8.1 camera app, sometimes my camera does this bug where it flips between inverted and normal, extremely quickly, so it looks like there are two of me. I don't know if this was GPU drivers tho, because just reinstalled those this morning and it seems to be ok so far.
also, the keyboard. I miss my context menu key, what do I need two command keys for? A right alt button, I'd rather have that be the other control button. Any way to remap these easily? what about switching Fn with control on the left, I prefer my windows button in the exact corner.
last question tho, I saw people overclocking gpu's on their retinas from last year, can you do this on the new retinas, and can you overclock the cpu as well as the gpu?
I do have to say this in the end, I am a little dissapointed with apple, I was told thst my mac would run windows like a native windows machine. I know windows 8.1 is not supported, but coming from PC's for years, and being a PC technician, I also go to school for computer engineering, I expected everything to "just work" as steve jobs once said. Well, it doesn't just work. I even had these issues in windows 8, which is supported.
Installing windows 8 was a nightmare. I had to use the forums, try for weeks to get windows 8 to finally instll the proper (uefi) way, and to get everything usable, I had to reinstall my os's twice.
Apple, if you are going to advertise a mac that can run windows "seamlessly", you need to get these major issues fixed, support all new versions of windows before they are even release, and release proper hardware drivers and support software before new hardware is released. All other Windows OEMS are pretty much required to do this to stay in business. I don't dislike OSX, I just use windows for everything I can't use Mac for, so please fix this. You're better than this, you should put a higher standard on this. otherwise, don't advertise macs that can run windows.
Thanks guys, sorry for the information overload. BTW, MBP Retina 15" 16GB RAM 512 SSD, 2.6 haswell, pretty much the max specs other than the SSD.

I have stated every issue I’ve had so far in a fairly clear and concise way. I think if you read what I wrote, it all makes logical sense as to what is going on. Windows 7/8 would work just as well on a Mac if it was supported the same way the OS is for other OEMs.
As I stated earlier in the post, I’m having these same issues in windows 8, not just 8.1, which is the reason for the post. I know the difference between supported by drivers and not supported by the manufacturer. The fact that when Haswell mbp’s came out and no revision to bootcamp for the new hardware was released to fix issues with installing windows on the new hardware shows Apple clearly Is not supporting bootcamp as strongly as they advertise.
I am being realistic on Apple having drivers early. Anyone with an MSDN subscription can download the RELEASE version of windows months ahead of the actual release, I’m 100% sure if any average consumer can do that by paying $100 and saying they are a developer, apple can do it just as easily.
You aren’t much help, you haven’t answered really anything to my post, nor have you contributed any knowledge that wasn’t clearly posted above, so don’t say anything if you don’t have anything to contribute.
By the way, my rant is directed at apple, as you can see because I am saying “Apple, if you are going to…” because this is an Apple forum on Apple’s website. It is not directed to end users, clearly.

Cannot install Firefox extension for Contribute 4

I'm trying out Contribute 4 and right away during
installation there's a bomb: The installer tells me:
Unavailable Components
These components cannot be installed on your systemat the
current time
Contribute Extension for Mozilla Firefox
Version Required: Mozilla Firefox Version 1.0 or later
Version Installed: Mozilla Firefox must have been launched
at least once
The same thing happeneds when, after the original Contribute
installation, I tried to use the Add/Remove Programs control panel
to Modify the Contribute installation so as to install the Firefox
extension.
I'm running Firefox 1.5.0.8. Needless to say, I HAVE launched
Firefox "at least once", indeed, many, many times.
What could the problem be and how is it fixed???

the 'extensions' folder inside Firefox App has only Read-Only
access for the users other than the one who has installed Firefox.
Another place to check is whether Mozilla Firefox is installed in
the default location c:\program files\. directory.
If you can confirm that you have admin rights and installed
both FF and Contribute 4 and it is located in the default
directories, just post back.
I can create a bug in your behalf or you can fill out a bug
request directly here
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
I have admin rights for the account ("Administrator") on
which I installed both Firefox and Contribute 4. However, neither
is in the default location, as I NEVER install ANYTHING in
C:\Program Files. (This is to make the whole system more granular
for backup purposes.) All my programs (except recalcitrant ones
from Microsoft) go into subject-area subdirectories of lanother
ogical drive.
And data goes onto yet another logical drive, with most going
into a Documents directory there (which has been designated as what
Windows XP brings up as Documents). Under that Documents I have my
Firefox profile, inside that, the Firefox extensions.
So I'm certainly suspecting now that Contribute 4, unlike

How do I report a bug: HP Printer Software Update 2.7 not compatible with HP C5200 series (C5280)

Hi
I've recently updated my 2011 vintage 22" 3GHz iMac recently bought from Apple themselves to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and my HP printer/scanner (C5280) has just stopped working - printing half a page and then complaining:
"Communication Error: Unable to send print data ..." blah blah.
It was working fine under 10.6.7 ...
What seems like several months later, I have
1) checked the cable
2) checked the printer (it works on a Windows machine)
3) Downloaded the "latest" drivers from the HP website (dated 2009)
4) Scrubbed the HP software (using HP uninstaller option with Cmd-Cntrl-Opt pressed)
5) Downloaded the "Software Update" version of HP Printer software update 2.7 .....
6) Installed the HP software again (just in case it needed to be in that order)
7) Scrubbed it again
8) RE-downloaded HP Printer Software Update 2.7 via Software Update
and tried printing again ..... still no joy.
My view is that this is a bug.
Is it possible to report such a phenomenon to anyone in Apple / HP who would actually take notice (or, whisper it) care?
Any further suggestions - or perhaps ideas for places to take a restful vacation - gratefully received.
Thanks

Is your wretched printer the same model? How about the Mac - and your OS.
I have tried to persuade HP that this should be investigated here:

Please do contribute to that discussion too, since I assume that HP will be the organisation to investigate/correct any driver problems.

In logic Pro, when I open up an audio track and load an audio file, there is no sound. I will finally get a sound out of one of the audio tracks after opening at least 5 of them alternately. Is anyone familiar with this kind of bug? It's really frustratin

In logic Pro, when I open up an audio track or software track and load an audio file/loop or software file loop, there is no sound. I will finally get a sound out of one of the audio or software tracks after opening at least 5 of them alternately. Is anyone familiar with this kind of bug? It's really frustrating as this takes much time to complete work.

I'm not sure I follow your words Fuzzynormal. You've helped by offering the insight that my issue in Logic Pro 9 is not a bug but a feature. But fell short of enlightenment by being a judge of character and of how one should interact in this forum. You insinuate that I haven't tried to solve the issue on my own when in fact I have. These forums are always my last resort. You further suggest that I am complaining. This is not a complaint. It is a genuine issue that I cannot figure out. Then you think that Brazeca is holding my hand and being a nice guy. Brazeca is helping people like me who might not be as adept at using Logic Pro as probably you are.This community forum was established to raise questions, answers and dicussion to help Apple's customers better undertand their operating systems and related issues. You are doing a disservice by not contributing positively and by trying to make this forum what you want it to be. You may have all the time in the world to try figuring out stuff but we are not all like you. We all have different schedules and different levels of understanding. And that is what this forum is for - to help people move forward. If you can't contribute positively then keep silent. And by the way, you say to "read the words that are printed down to explain to you how that works" what words are you talking about? Why don't you be of some help instead of trying to own this forum.

Is this me or a bug? Loading disabled effects rack wrecks audio!

Background:
I am NOT an audio pro, but am an experienced tech guy and have used Adobe suite products for many years.
Just loaded up CS6, including all updates, on a new decked-out Win7 computer (32G RAM, 12 core CPU, CUDA board, etc).
I have a clip (96hHz 32 bit) I'm using to learn the workflow I will use for analog->digital conversion...
There is a musical section in the middle that sounds truly awful with my effects rack in place. But then I noticed I could not get back to the original...
Symptom
If I load the audio clip, all is well -- plays as expected.
If I load my Effects Rack, with all effects preset to be disabled, the sound is immediately and obviously messed up.
Turning the effects on/off does not fix the problem.
Questions
- Is there any reason a set of disabled effects might still impact the audio? If so, where do I find such settings?
- Is this a likely bug?
- Anyone else ever encountered anything like this?
Thanks much!
Pete

NAILED IT.
The following is 100% repeatable for me. Can anyone else replicate this?
1) Choose 10-20 seconds of music, with a bit of silence before or after (as an audible marker), stereo, 32 bit, 96k -- or even 44.1k although the problem is not as pronounced in 44.1k (see below)
2) set up to play as a loop
3) load any of the following into your effects rack. Loading more than one just makes it more obvious.
a) Adaptive Noise Reduction, default settings, then turn ON high quality and set FFT size to 16384. (8192 is sufficient for 96k, but at 44.1k I need 16384) [This one produces horrifyingly awful results]
b) Auto Click Removal, default settings, then Threshold 1, Complexity 100 (This one only causes trouble on 96k files)
c) Auto Phase Correction, default settings, then Analysis Size 4k, Time Resolution 1.0 msec, Response Ultra Slow
4) BE SURE the effect is turned OFF (but leave the rack on)... or turn the whole rack off. The effect SHOULD do nothing at all.
Now play the loop a few times.
Notice the following anomalies:
A) The cursor tracks (sometimes jumpily) in real time, but the sound is much slower. With Adaptive Noise Reduction @ FFT=16384, I can't really tell it is music... running about 1/10 speed or something
B) It is as if the on/off switch for the effect does nothing to disable the effect during playback
C) Your CPU will likely be idling. Whatever is slowing this down is NOT a bunch of processing, but some other kind of overhead/bug
D) In some situations, I even see the Levels Meter stop moving, as if there weren't enough spare cycles to update it.
Discussion
I wonder how many effects are "always active" like this during playback? Right now, I feel I cannot trust this engine to give me reliable feedback for my settings. My suspicion: most if not all effects are at least partly active for playback, even if turned off, at least with respect to the underlying engine.
It is claimed some of these effects can have performance issues depending on the platform. My platform has far more capacity and speed than required, yet still there are issues. This tells me I cannot trust my ears to tell me if a particular effect and setting is giving me poor results... or if it is just this hidden engine bug causing the sound to degrade. (Note: if I use all three effects with settings as shown, my CPU is running at 11 percent. Not even enough to get the fan going! Definitely not system-limited.)
If there IS some kind of built-in engine limitation relating to these kinds of problems, I highly recommend that Adobe implement a visual marker to indicate that the effects rack is unable to do its thing in real-time, thus what I am hearing is not an accurate representation of the effects. (However, even if so, I would expect that disabled-effects should not contribute to any performance problem.)
I sure hope this is enough so others can replicate the problem!
Thanks much,
Pete

Bug in Contribute 6.5??
