Contribute 4 won't publish correctly

I just upgraded to Contribute CS4 and I can connect and edit
just fine. Whenever I try to publish a page, it overwrites the page
I was editing on the server by adding an extension of .new to the
file. For example, instead of events.htm, the page becomes
events.htm.new It throws an error saying "Access Denied - The file
may not exist or their could be a permission problem"
I've had our IT person check permissions on the server, and
they are fine (they worked under CS3) and I'm able to publish new
pages, just not edit existing ones.
Any help would be greatly apprecaited!

Home page won't publish correctly

I am getting very frustrated. I have been having this issue the last few times I have updated my home page and published it. All the other pages seem to be publishing fine, its just the home page that is going nuts.
I have tried to upload just the motifited files, I have tried to upload all files, I have deleted the muse manafest and reuploaded the all files and still can't get the home page to publish correctly. Before today I was having issues with the menu bar loading correctly. Today I went in and redid the home page and now the whole page is a mess.

Did you try to start in Safe mode?
In Firefox 4+ versions you can use one of these to start in <u>Safe mode</u>:
*Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Contribute 4: Won't publish on mac - help

I downloaded contribute 4 - connects fine, but eveytime i go
to publish i get an error saying it can't connect to the server -
this is on my mac os x,
however it works fine on my PC - has anyone experienced the
same problems? is there any compatibility problems with version 4
and some mac versions?

It happens whenever editing or creating a new page - i press
publish and after a minute of nothing i get the error.
"Contribute could not connect because the server is down or
not accepting connections. Please contact your administrator"
If i press cancel after this it will often read:
"Contribute had disabled your conection to this website
because an unknown error occured. for more information contact this
website's administrator"
I'm pretty sure it is to do with security settings on the
mac's - as it works fine on the PC's.
I have used other aplications for ftp - e.g. transmit
I have run all command line checks and everythings fine -
looking trough the security settings everything looks ok - any
idea?

Adobe Presenter 8 won't publish correctly

I get the Adobe Presenter splash page, the little green circle and that's it. The size of the pdf appears like more should be there, but that is all that is showing on my screen.
I was working fine in AP 8, upgraded to AP 9. Went to publish and the NOTES would not show in the sidebar, neither would contact link and information. That all worked fine in AP 8. So I uninstalled 9, reinstalled 8 and now I can't even get it to publish to see if the NOTES would show.
Can anyone direct me how to fix this?
Thanks.

Hello,
To identify why your presentation is not playing in PR9 published output, please send us the presentation is pakacged format. (Use "Packager" feature of Presenter). Send us the packaged file to [email protected]
Regarding your other issue, when you reinstalled PR8 and published the same content again, does the published outout keep rotating with progress indicator?
If yes, please open the folder where you have published the content and look for 'vconfig.xml'
Make the following changes -
If you can remove the following nodes from vconfig.xml in the published output, it will start working
<uicolor name="notesTextBackground" value="0xFFFFFF"/>
<uishow name="cctexthighlighting" value="true"/>
Save the file and now play the published content. It will start playing.

Director 12 (subscription) won't publish projector

I just purchased Director 12, subscription model, this morning. I am frustrated to say the least that it won't publish a simple projector on my system. It uses two xtras, BudAPI, and ImgXtra, but even if I remove them from the project, D12 still won't publish. It almost finishes, but bails about 90% through. System here is Win 7, 8Gb, D12. I've already reinstalled, and still get the same problem. Any clues on how to get D12 to publish a projector--not for IOS, rather for Windows.
TIA,
John

Hi, and thanks for your reply. Here are the answers to your questions and comments:
Did it crash the computer, hang or close D12?
No. No crash, no hang. D12 did not close. Behavior is like this: Choose Publish from menu; D12 begins to compile 15 files, then suddenly stops at 14 and the progress bar disappears. D12 still functioning fine.
Did I make a test program and try to publish?
Yes. Same result.
Did I update an older Director to D12?
Yes. I updated from D11 to D12. All seemed to go well.
Did I remove ALL xtras then save it with a different name then try to pubilsh?
Yes. That was the first move I tried. Same result.
Am I using BuddyAPI 4.07?
Yes. I don't think that's the problem. I'm also using Valentin's "imgXtra" and it works fine in author mode.
So overnight, I thought of something new to try and it seems to work. I reduced the User Account Controls to the lowest possible setting, opened D12, made a test program, and it published a projector just fine. So then I tried my project and it too published a projector just fine. So clearly, the UAC and D12 do not get along. The UAC probably thinks the the projector is compiling an exe that represents a threat to the system. If so, I wonder why no other Win 7 64 bit users of D12 have not reported this problem? Surely, I cannot be the only Win user with my UAC set to highest possible setting. Or is there some other factor in combination with the UAC that is prohibiting a projector compile? I don't know. It's rather strange that QA at Adobe didn't catch this oddity. Having worked in QA, I can tell you that we did test software with the UAC at various settings. But somehow this behavior slipped by Adobe QA.
The bottom line is, I now must reduce my UAC to lowest possible setting, open D12 project, compile a projector, and reset my UAC to highest possible setting. How bizzare. BTW, I have no virus protection software on my machine other than Microsoft's Essential Security. Maybe that, plus UAC, prevents D12 from compiling projectors. Who knows. What a strange turn of events. Adobe should test this issue and correct it. Imagine if we all had to have our car passengers wait outside the car while we started the engine. Only then could passengers get into the car. And once the car was moving, the passengers would have to disembark at every stop light so the car wouldn't die.
Thanks for your response,
John

Action steps that won't run correctly in PSE 7/8/9 (but did in 4 and 6)

I have a wonderful action that was written to work in PSE 3/4/6. It won't run in PSE 7/8/9. After fooling around for a while, I think I understand why. Adobe changed the way Adjustment Layers are handled. In earlier versions of Photoshop and Elements, Adjustment Layers threw up a modal dialog box. That changed so that Adjustment Layers now appear in the Palette Bin as a palette.
Here a sample of some of the action steps that won't work correctly:
Make adjustment layer
Using: adjustment layer
Type: levels
Set Selection
To: none
Set current layer
To: layer
Name: “Adjustment 1”
Set current layer
To: layer
Mode: luminosity
Stop
Message: “Move gray slider left”
With Continue
Set current adjustment layer
To: levels
In earlier versions of PS and PSE, the way these steps would work is that a new adjustment layer would be created, the dialog box giving the instruction would open, it would be dismissed by clicking "Continue," and then the "Set current adjustment layer to: Levels" would generate a model adjustment layer dialog box would open up which would let one make the adjustment.
In newer versions, since Adjustment Layers are handled in the Palette Bin, after dismissing the instructions, the action doesn't stop to allow the user to make change the sliders on the adjustment layer.
The action runs perfectly in CS4 and CS5 and throws up the levels adjustment modal box as it did in PSE 4 and PSE 6, but the action doesn't throw the modal box in PSE 7/8/9
Does anyone know of a way to alter the action steps to allow the action to stop to allow the adjustment and then to resume again?

Adding a new levels adjustment layer on top of the Midtone contrast layer
should work, just use a clipping mask to restrict the adjustments to the
areas of the levels adjustment layer below. The histogram will be different, but
actually testing the action is really the only way to know if that makes any difference.
Replacing the levels adjustment layer is another option, though it requires a few more steps.
The following assumes when the action gets to this point,
the Midtone contrast adjustment layer is the active (selected) layer.
To record this part of the action:
1. Duplicate current channel (in the channels panel. drag the Midtone contrast mask
    down to the Create new channel icon at the bottom of the channels panel)
2. Ctrl+click on the newly created channel (Midtone contrast mask copy)
    This loads the selection of that channel.
3. Drag the new channel (midtone contrast mask copy) to the trash icon at the bottom
   of the channels panel.
4. Back in the layers panel, delete the Midtone Contrast adjustment layer.
5. Go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Levels
    This creates a new levels adjustment layer using the selection loaded from
    the duplicated channel and opens the levels dialog.
To load the RGB (composite) as a selection, Ctrl+click on the rgb in the channels panel
and the same is true for the red, green and blue channels.
With layer masks, elements doesn't seem to want to load them as selections in actions,
so that's the reason for the action steps above.

Can someone help explain why my iWeb website doesn't publish correctly...

I'm a professor and I'm trying to build a professional website--nothing fancy, six or seven pages and perhaps a blog. The site I have built on iWeb looks wonderful in iWeb, but once I publish the site (GoDaddy is hosting it), various text boxes, fonts, and background shapes get randomly distorted. Moreover, the site has different errors when viewed on my iPad, when viewed on my Macbook in Safari, and when viewed on Macbook in Mozilla. From what I've been gathering, web developers don't like iWeb. I'm not a computer expert, so I like the usability of iWeb (I'm not using any of their prefab templates--that might be the problem). I just want the site that I've built in the program (which looks good) to actually publish correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if it is just pointing to other software...
Thanks!

What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand? Also if you're considering some serious blogging I suggest you create your blog on one of the established blogging sites like Posterous, WordPress or Blogger. This will allow you to manage your blog from any computer anywhere and even from some mobile devices. With an iWeb blog you must have a Mac and the domain.sites2 file used to create the site.
Then you can embed that blog into one of your iWeb pages as shown on this demo page: Embed a Site Within an iWeb Page

Projects first created in Windows are now not publishing correctly from a Mac

I've been using the Windows version of Captivate for months without issues, putting together a large number of HTML5 courses, non-responsive. Lots of custom javascript via the 'Execute JavaScript' action for smartshapes, etc.
I just purchased a new Macbook Pro and then purchased a subscription license for Captivate. Now my cptx files that were working fine when opened and published from Windows Cp are very not publishing correctly - the javascript does not execute, etc. Everything *appears* fine within Captivate but I get issues upon preview/publish.
Thank goodness I have the 30 days to cancel the subscription and get a refund...but before I do that - has anyone else tried switching to a Mac and run into problems with Captivate projects?
Both machines have 8.01 installed. The only thing I can think of is, after installing 8.0 via the subscription download, I then did the 'Check for updates' and it went and downloaded and installed the 8.01 update. When I did this on Windows I followed the directions on a blog post somewhere (sorry - I forget the name!) that stressed deleting some directories on the machine first before running the update. I assumed the subscription files would be fixed/patched....

After struggling with this last night I took a look again this morning and narrowed down and corrected the problem. Basically, this is what happened to cause the issue and how I resolved it. Hopefully it helps others in the future.
Steps
Create project in Windows version of Cp (I was using version 8.01).
For my client's requirements, which are quite unique and complex compared to the typical Cp project, custom quiz questions/scoring had to be developed. Since these are HTML5 (non-responsive) courses, and Javascript is the fastest/most efficient way to do this, I used Javascript extensively for quizzes via the 'Execute Javascript' action. So for quiz questions, each answer is simply a smartshape (transparent, with answer text in it) that triggers the 'Execute Javascript' on click. In addition, on many of the quiz slides there are Edge Animate/HTML5 interactions embedded.
Worked fine on windows upon publish. But when I opened on a new Mac and published, when a question answer was clicked nothing would happen.
Turns out the problem seems to be with the text in the Javascript window. I think it somehow gets corrupted, though it looks fine. I had to literally delete the javascript, save it, and then copy it back in. Once I did that, it works.
I've invested too much time in this project so far, so don't want to risk any more major issues popping up like this, so I switched back to Windows and canceled my subscription this morning. Fortunately I have a license from my employer for Windows and will just use that with Boot Camp.

Album Page not publishing correctly

I've been using iWeb09 for about a year now for a small gallery. I've never had any problems until I recently tried to create an album page. Setting up the page was easy but I can't get it to publish correctly. Only 2 of the 8 albums appear on my website. I've tried re-building the page from scratch, I tried downsizing the file size of the images, I tried uploading the images through fetch instead directly uploading through iWeb's FTP, nothing has worked. You can find the offending page here:
http://www.homeskooledgallery.com/HomeskooledGallery/Photo_Albums/PhotoAlbums.html
Since the page doesn't work I have been Publishing the site without this page on the navigation bar so the only way to find it is by copying and pasting the address directly. I appreciate any and all help!
Thanks!

your pictures file names contain space , iweb albums/photos page use picture file names to create sub folder (inside Media folder), here is your media folder:
http://www.homeskooledgallery.com/HomeskooledGallery/Photo_Albums/Pages/Clean-Up_Your_Own_Messfiles/Media/
most if not all servers do not allow special characters in directory/file path, so no directories were created. hence missing thumbnails, ie:
http://www.homeskooledgallery.com/HomeskooledGallery/Photo_Albums/Pages/Clean-Up_Your_Own_Messfiles/Media/Clean-Up%20Your%20Own%20Mess%204/mip.jpg
notice the %20 in the url? they are spaces, you need to remove spaces and special characters from your pictures file names and re-do all your albums/photos pages.

Won't publish my changes....

I use iWeb 09, published my site using MobileMe. It worked perfect. BUT now when I have made changes it won't publish my changes and the icons stays red. I tried Publish site, Publish site changes, Publish entire site. I successfully published my website to a folder on my HD. I updated Iweb, signed out of MobileMe, signed in tried again, over and over and over.... nothing works
Need help!
Thanks

Update: It's working now, for the time being. It's my experience that it's been working on and off for this past weekend up to now. I don't know if anyone else was experiencing problems in that time frame.
I spent that last weekend doing some significant changes to the site, adding a new logo, background and that coverflow animation you see on all the root pages. The site is comprised of 11 pages and 5 blogs, with many entires in each of those 5 blogs. I affected changes to each page, including all the blog entries, and then tried to publish yesterday morning. I think that's when the trouble really started, because I was publishing a high volume of pages at once – MobileMe doesn't seem to like that. This is when I started trying to move the pages to a new site within iWeb, which eventually crashed the program and caused all my early entries in all 5 blogs to get corrupted (that's what I'm calling it at least, because if I clicked on those entries I just got a blank white screen, and if I tried to publish before deleting them I got the "An Unknown Error Occurred" message each time).
What I'm interested in is your suggestion to use Cyber Duck. I've ran into this suggestion before on these forums and so, yesterday, I downloaded Cyber Duck, but am totally clueless on how to use it. I know nothing about FTP but would like to know if A.) will the site load faster going through an FTP service like Cyber Duck or (the other one I hear about a lot) Web Maestro; and B.) If it will make the site load faster, how complicated is the change over and could someone walk a FTP illiterate person like me through the process. I update the site daily and so I can't complicate the process of publishing too much. I hear Web Maestro has selective publishing, maybe that's the way to go?
Also, I've disabled comments on my site anyway, so no fear of that.
Sorry this ran a little long.

IWeb won't Publish Site

Hi,
Everything works fine until I add a flash music video or any video to the page then it won't Publish. But if I remove the videos from the page it will Publish. (this is not an embed code but instead a link set up from the hyperlink menu when I click on the "inspector" dialog box.
Or should I instead use the embed code from my upload site?
Has this something to do with memory? I followed the advice that was posted on another "help" column to change the memory setting in the MobileMe page for iDisk, but that didn't work either.

Acrobat 3D won't publish with 3D controls in Powerpoint

Acrobat 3D won't publish with the 3D motion controls when published as a powerpoint packaged CD show or as Adobe Presenter files. Controls only appear in the native powerpoint PPT form.

I did a little more testing and here's what I found. If your
audio files reside on a network server (regardless of where your
presentation resides), the publish process will crash when trying
to access the audio. I had to copy my audio files from the server
to my hard drive and import them to the presentation. Then it
published ok. Go figure.

Some photos won't publish

i am using the Publish service (very cool!) to export photos to a specific location on my hard drive. the process is driven by a set of smart collections, and it all works great.
however, i have a handful of photos that won't publish -- they are sitting in the "new photos to publish" or "modified photos to re-publish" areas and they don't get published when i tell that collection to publish.
the publish service exports in JPEGs.
Some are NEFs, others are JPEGs, one is a PSD. All of the NEFs and JPEGs are virtual copies. the PSD is the original.
any ideas what's going on?

>@LKF: I can get CS3 to open files from LR 2, but it works differently than earlier LR releases. With LR 1.4 when I right clicked to edit in CS3 it gave me a choice of which version of the file to edit. It also paired the .psd file with the original .dng when I finished. Now with LR 2 it doesn't do either. Is this a design feature or is something hosed up.
Bug. Will be fixed in the next (first) update. For a workaround set Photoshop the be the secondary editor in the preferences and use it. If you are unclear on how to do this check here:

Director 12 won't publish an iOS app

It was working fine (if lots of bugs appearing on the iPad) and then the certificate ran out.
I updated the keychain cert and the provisioning file and now it won't publish the .ipa file.
Anyone struck this?

There are other issues involving certificates...someone recommended checking the Keychain to make sure there are no duplicate certificates. Also suggested checking to see if there are any certificates in "root", because they should be in "login".
The reason I suspected the codesign phase in the IPA publishing sequence is because Director would progress with the process up until about 99% completion. With the Keychain "locked," the system gives the message asking for codesign permission. That, appearing at the very end of the publishing process, gave me some sort of clue but I kept thinking the certificates were mismatched when they were actually just fine.
It was only when I had the console utility running to see what was going on that I saw the reference to the Xcode path. I had already repeatedly deleted and reinstalled certificates. In my case the failure was because Director couldn't find the Xcode /Developer folder, wherein, I suppose, dwell the Xcode command line tools Director needs to finish the job.
Verbose error messages from Director during the IPA publishing process would be helpful to say the least. There are several places where publishing the IPA can fail.
Something occurs to me...forgive me if this is too obvious a question...but are you using certificates for iOS publishing or are you using certificates for OSX applications? They have to be iOS certificates and provisioning profiles. I assume that is what you have done but I bring it up just in case others may be trying to sign iOS apps with Mac development certificates. I confess that I am not an expert in these matters...
Another thing is to make sure there is an Apple Intermediate certificate in the Keychain. More detail here, near the bottom of the page.
