Cannot deactivate CS3 but can CS4

I have AE CS3 as a single program, BUT I have CS4 design premium which does not include AE.
I am just about reinstalling windows and succesfully deactivated CS4 design premium. However, AE CS3 cannot be deactivated saying there's no internet connection.
What is up with that? This is insaine. I am sitting here with all my drives ready to go for reinstall and this stupid thing holds me back. Now I can be ready for all the massacre and questioning from Adobe when I will try to reactivate it.
These are the times when I envy all those warez users who don't have to go through this pain.

Thanks Mylenium. I am succesfully over this blood pressure raging nightmare. Finally what happened is, I have reactivated CS4, then restart, then I was able to deactivate AE CS3 (!!! DUH !!!) and then CS4. I have no clue about why the ordering mattered but at least it's over with now. Phew...
Originally I had the CS2 package. Later on I wanted to get AE. But by that time CS3 came out. I didn't want to upgrade the whole thing, so I just bought AE CS3 itself. So now I had the CS2 package and AE CS3. And even later when CS4 came out I upgraded to CS4. But because AE was a separate package I just kept it. So I ended up with CS4 design package + AE CS3. Makes sense, eh? Anyhow, that's how we cooking and apparently something was not liked with the sucktivation.
So anyone with issues like this, apparently activate the older package first and then the newer package. At least that did the trick for me.

  • [JS] menuAction.invoke() working with cs3 but not cs4 :-(

    Hi,
    I wrote a script and chose to call a menu through menuAction.invoke();
    I wanted to use an independant locale string to avoid dealing with localization.
    It works nice on CS3 but just fails in the CS4.
    //I want to fit the window to the spread
    var myMenuAction = app.menuActions.item("$ID/Toolbar Fit in Window");
    myMenuAction.invoke();
    I am really stuck because I have read the indesign CS4 scripting guide carefully on page 119. The given instruction seem to be the same as in the  indesign CS3 scripting guide.
    I can't see what I did wrong and yet, no way to get it working on CS4. Any hint ?
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Peter and John,
    FF is so... tolerant to accept the value of the option as the same as it is displayed in the select list.
    where IE is so... prudence, that we have to explictly tell it
    ie Post Element Text in IE should be like this
    <select id="unit" onchange="TankUnit();" >

  • TS3899 Cannot send mail, but can still receive mail.  Solution?

    Cannot send an email but can receive one.  Solution?

    Hi,
    I'm having the same problem as Ed. "smtp.me.com" send error.
    When I got the iPhone I followed mobileme sync between my computer and the iPhone from iTunes.
    My mobileme sends and receives mail from my Mail app on my computer.
    I tried to change the SSL server port # on the iPhone but it is grey and not able to be changed. I think port #25 works too. But, mail on my computer uses 587 which the iPhone is set to, but it's not working.
    I can send and receive mail from my yahoo and another POP3 account.
    Any ideas of how I can get my mobileme mail to send on my iphone? Thanks.

  • Video for progressive download - workflow works for CS3 but not CS4

    I don't understand what I'm doing wrong with the new Flash CS4.
    When I used Flash CS3 I would use the following steps to create a Flash video to view online:
    Make a folder for all flash content
    In the folder I put the "video".flv file encoded from Quick Time
    Import the "video".flv into flash
    Save the .fla with the same "video" name
    Test the movie
    Publish settings using the defaults
    Save the flash document
    I could send the folder (minus the .fla) to the webmaster to store on the server and then he could point to the "video".swf file and the video would play.
    This doesn't work with CS4. I only get a green and white progress bar on the player controls with no video. I assume this means the swf can't find the flv, but they're in the same folder, and I thought the path would hold within a folder. I can't even move the folder to another computer and play the video there. It will only work on the computer where I created the files. I would appreciate any help anyone could offer. I've had to go back to Flash CS3 to correct a mistake in a previously finished video. Thanks in advance.

    I did add the gaussian blur to it. Exactly like in the tutorial, I copied his steps in the video exactly, even put the exact same percentage of blur on both the alpha 1 copy and alpha 1 copy 2.   both even looked exactly like his after each blur was placed.     4.5% on copy 1,   8.2% on copy 2.   after this it all looks just like the instructors.        its when the 2 channels are combined and it is filled with black that mine looks different.   his comes out with the design white on a black background in channel view, and mine came out black with whit outline on black background on the channels.  I even tried filling with  white instead of black and that does not work either. 
       I follow the steps in the video exactly and everything matches up to that one step, if anyone has cs4 maybe they could play with a simple flat shape and try the steps and see if they get a flat outcome as well,     or is it possible my version of cs4 has a bug?

  • Cannot control/observe but can send commands and update apps

    I've researched the discussions here and basically came up with several ways of fixing the problem. Also I see I am not the only one with this particular problem.
    Ok with that said, here are the details.
    I am running a G5 behind a linksys wireless router (g5 is hard wired to the ethernet port of the router), my router is set up to open ports 5900 and 3283 just for ARD 2.0. The ports are pointing to my mac's IP address given by the router. I currently use optimum online for my internet usage, so basically I have a static IP address. From work I can access my G5, control/observe, update, etc...
    I also have set up ARD on my mothers imac, she sits behind a verizon dsl modem, and an old netgear router I used at one point. I have the router set up the same way, ports 5900 and 3283 are opened up for tcp and udp. From her machine I can actually connect to my G5 at home and control/observe, etc..
    My main problem is when I am on the G5 and try to connect to her machine, I can only send messages, update software but cannot visually observe or control her mac. I've gone and had her change the tcp port to 10000 and no luck with control or observe. I then had her delete ARD with an application I found over the net (appdelete). I had her install ARD client and set it up from scratch again. Nothing... I have spoken with verizon IT and they aren't blocking any ports. I am at my wits end, can't figure this one out. OH, I also tried disconnecting the router and had my mother connect the dsl modem straight to the imac and still cannot control or observe. Within ARD It tells me what program she is running, etc... because of port 3283 but that's about it. I know everyone here has given alot of information. But is there something I am missing?
    Could it be a hardware issue (mac or router)? or software?

    I've tested timbuktu pro 8.6 and I can access my G5 at home the same way as ARD, I just had to open up the port 5901 and set up the user prefs. My only issue is going to be setting up my mothers imac with timbuktu. crossing my fingers to see if it works tonight. If there are any other thoughts out there please feel free to tell me.

  • Exchange - Cannot receive emails but can send

    Using Exchange 2007 - (CAS,Hub,Mail and Transport). I have all external mail coming in on http/s to webmail and outlook anywhere and port 25 smtp (mail.domain.com). Firewall NAT rule is External to Internal.
    I then created a DMZ and now have webmail and outlook anywhere http/s going from External>>>>DMZ>>>Internal and it works fine. But when I changed smtp 25 to External>>>DMZ>>>Inside - I cannot receive any emails from
    external, I can send though.
    I Only changed the way it is being routed, instead of going from External (mail.domain.com) to Internal (mail server). I have it going External (mail.domain.com)>>>(DMZ IP) >>>(Internal Mail server).
    I didn't change any IPs or URLs or anything on the External or Internal and webmail and outlook anywhere are working fine through the DMZ.
    I thought maybe it could be the external mail filter in the cloud that hits our external domain name but since I'm not touching anything external I don't see how that would matter.
    Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Hi,
    Based on my experience, improper permission groups would always bring mail flow issue. Thank you for sharing the solution here.

  • Cannot Make Calls, but Can Receive, Buttons Do Not Work

    Hi Everyone,
    Ok, I cannot get my Iphone 3g to make calls out right now. The whole bottom row of applications cannot be pushed.
    I have tried resetting the phone, I have taken out the SIM card and replaced it.
    I have no problem answering calls and if the people are in my contact list, i can call them, but I cannot dial numbers 789 or hit the call button. I also cannot access my voicemail, I can hear the first message, but I cannot delete or save the message to move on to the next one.
    I am a realtor and this phone is essential to me. Any ideas?

    Well your best bet is to make sure you are running the current version of the operating system. If you are then I would suggest that you do a reboot of the devise. Hold down the power button and the home button for 10 seconds the turn your iPhone back on. If that doesn't work try a restore in iTunes. Last but not least you might just need to call appple tech. support and send your phone in.

  • Cannot receive BBM but can send

    Hi,
    Today my BBM just screwed me up. I cannot receive BBM from particular people but they can receive my BBM. The status of the text is always D but they already read the text. Also, I cannot receive invitation to a group. I never get the invitation even tho they send it many times.
    Any solution? I did remove the battery several times and wiped the data but still cannot receive message.

    Hello t36uh2007
    I recommend to call your carrier first to find out is there something wrong with their network service as there might be temporary network problem related with your BBM problem. For BBM Group, you may need to update BBM app to the latest version from BlackBerry World.
    Also, delete your phone number in your profile as this is open forums. Go to My Setting at top left of this page > Personal Profile and change it to your carrier name.
    Good luck.

  • Suddenly cannot send email but can receive email

    I am running OSX 10.8.2 on a MacPro desktop. I have been using Mail sucessfuly since I originally installed Mountain Lion but now it suddenly has stopped working. I have confirmed and reconfirmed my SMPT settings but have failed to send any mail. I sucessfully sent an email one week ago and have not completed any updates since. Suddenly "Mail" has taken a vacation and refused to send any mail. This has failed using POP, SMPT, EXCHANGE and IMAP.
    I am now getting an error message indicating:
    "The sender address [email protected] was rejected by the server smtp.gmail.com.
    Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent."
    I have confirmed my settings are correct with my service providers. I get this message from all of the email accounts that I use. I know the mail settings are right because I can send mail from these accounts using my iPhone,iPad, and Widows laptop without issues.
    Attempting to change ports as suggested in previous posts has worked on one "send" test email but has refused to operate since.  I noticed that "Mail" will sometimes unilaterally change the outgoing server addresses on it own.
    The same issues come up when I tried to configure MS Oultlook:MAC 2011 tehrefore I suspect a problem originating with Mountain Lion and not the email clients.
    I checked for APPLE updates to my system and everything comes back as completely current with no updates available. Any ideas?

    Hello,
    All dot.Mac and Dot.Me account have migrated to iCloud.
    You should have been given details of expiry for the .Mac account to iCloud. Apple have now shut .Me and .Mac account for web access.

  • NEF files - can't open in Bridge or PS CS3 but can see in camera

    Not sure if I'm in the right forum...first time here.
    I'm shooting the floods in Brisbane, Australia today and have been shooting with a Nikon D200 and with a Nikon D3.
    I have transferred the NEF files from the D200 easily (as I normally do) to Bridge, but am suddenly having problems with transferring the NEF files shot on the D3. They appear as files in Bridge but if I try to open them in PS, the error message is "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document".
    I was successfully shooting on the D3 and using the same card less than a week ago. The only difference is that I was transferring to a different desktop, not my laptop, which I have now. I've recently rebuilt my laptop after a major crash, so maybe there's some simple setting I need to change.  But, it's odd that I can successfully transfer and open today's NEF files shot on the D200.
    Any help/tips would be great!
    Cheers
    Marc 

    Great, thanks Ian.  This worked a treat. I'd forgotten that I needed to download that again.  Cheers. Thanks for your help. Marc.

  • File will open in CS3 but not CS4?

    I recieved a tif, 161.806"x138.889", cmyk at 72dpi. When I try to open the file in CS4 I get "end of file error".
    I have to go back to CS3 and open it, save as psd then it will open in CS4. Any idea why?
    thanks

    There are some files written by CS3 with bad metadata that CS4 could not read.
    Or it could be written or modified by a third party program, and CS3 is ignoring the corrupted part.
    I fixed a few cases like that in Photoshop CS5.

  • Limited Internet Access -- Cannot resolve names but can ping IP addresses

    Hi,
    I'm almost at wits end here with the problem I'm having with my MBP running 10.6.7. Here's what's happened on my end:
    I'm an IT professional working with both mac, linux and PC. I upgraded to 10.6.7 a few weeks ago and everything was fine. As a part of my job I volunteered to test a VPN accelerator application from Riverbed that uses one of their "Steelhead" appliances. I installed the software and was testing it when suddenly my machine froze completely and I had to force-power cycle the laptop to reboot it. When the laptop came back up, it reconnected to the network but I was unable to resolve any IP addresses from name.
    I tested the connection repeatedly. I tried different networks. Switching between hardline and wi-fi. I blew away all network configuration and started from scratch. Three times. restarted the mDNSresponder. I uninstalled the appliance software, repeated the network blow away, and tried to connect. I tried reinstalling the software - no dice. Which leaves me where I am now: making a full backup of my drive and important information and formatting it.
    I was hoping beyond hope that someone could point out a possible solution that doesn't involve the nuclear option on my files. I have a lot of applications installed and it will take DAYS of work just to get the machine back to where its supposed to be. I dare not reinstall from a full backup because I don't know which touched file is the culprit in my painful experience.
    At the time when my PC crashed the software was likely intercepting and rerouting name-to-ip resolution to make the accelerator work. It must have temporarily altered a core networking file somehow to accomplish the redirect. When I crashed, the file was locked in a changed state and nothing I do can alter that. I've searched the appliances' web site and scoured Google looking for some hint as to what might have went wrong and tried to find a solution, but it seems that I'm the only person to have had this issue so far - either that or the solution is hidden on page 8,137 of Googles' results after all the ads have been passed up.
    The only thing that I can think of is that my machine was running vmware at the time, and that a combination of VMNET screwing up and the Steelhead appliance application caused my machine to hose itself.
    Like I said, the only thing I haven't done is format and reinstall - something I'm loathe to do at this moment because work is very busy. I still have my bootcamp partition and I've been using that for my work. Right now I am using a borrowed Mac Air to surf the net while I trawl through the various files on my Mac partition.
    So if anyone has had the patience and fortitude to read this far, I'd greatly appreciate any help or suggestions that others might be able to offer! Especially since if I have to deal with any more problems from this VPN device it would be nice to know how to fix this issue.
    Here's a brief summary of what works:
    - Ping via IP address (any location on the net)
    - Manual entry of IP to name translations in the hosts file. (did this to re-download the 10.6.7 cumulative updater)
    - nslookup works for some god-unknown reason.
    Here's what doesn't:
    - Name resolution through web browser or ping from the terminal or network utilities.
    Thanks,
    Roger.

    Roger,
    Nslookup queries the DNS server directly, while other programs (e.g. web browser, ping, etc.) use a system call (gethostname2) which goes through Apple's DirectoryService. The fact that both your VM's and nslookup are working indicates your computer can contact the DNS server via UDP and that the problem probably lies with DirectoryServices.
    Do you have a VPN client installed (something other than Steelhead)? VPN clients modify DNS resolution in order to give you name lookup for servers within the VPN. If you do have a VPN client installed, have you tried uninstalling/ reinstalling it?
    Another approach is to enable DirectoryService verbose logging from the terminal:
    sudo killall -USR1 DirectoryService
    Try a ping and then take a look (or post) the log:
    /Library/Logs/DirectoryService/DirectoryService.debug.log
    -Brendan
