Contribute cs4 and dreaweaver cs3

i use dreamweaver cs3.
my client want to change his website with contribute cs4. Is this possible??

Information available from Adobe gives instructions on setting Compatibility to Transition Mode. However, we encountered numerous problems. Adobe is now using "Work Flows" which cause heartburn to CS3 users. In addition, the send for review process has changed drastically, because of these Work Flows. Why this was done is mind boggling. It appears that whoever built CS4 has never used Contribute. There is very little information available on the Adobe Web site and even less customer support.
We have opted not to support it at this time and have asked users to download CS3.

Contribute CS4 and Dreamweaver CS3

Downloaded the Contribute CS4 trial today. All in all, it was
a disaster. Now I cannot upload files from my dreamweaver site at
all. Is Contribute CS4 compatible with dreamweaver CS3?
How do I remove the files created by the contribute install?
Thanks,
Annette

1. start Contribute
2. main menu >Edit>Administer Websites>Choose
website
3. choose Administration from the list on the left
4. click the button 'Remove Administration'

Can I upgrade from CS2 to CS4 and skip CS3?

Can I upgrade from CS2 to CS4 and skip CS3? It would save me time.

Colin,
>But I did exactly what everyone on here said they did, went onto adobe.com to do our research, saw that the upgrade works from CS2-CS4
Adobe shows there are multiple versions of the suites on their site and clearly points the way for purchasing at the Adobe Store. Just for the heck of it, I also went to MacMall.com and MacConnection.com, two well-known online resellers. I checked their Adobe CS4 upgrades, and they clearly indicate which older versions they are meant to go with. Not quite so clear from MacZone.com and a few other reseller sites I visited.
>I am an IT person for a printing company, and as such I spent hours upon hours preparing for this transition.
It took me just a few minutes to find the correct version I needed.
>no one can tell the difference, and most vendors don't know it exists. We could help you, but you didn't buy it from us."
Maybe the reseller you bought from is just sloppy and didn't mark the SKUs properly. But how is this Adobe's fault -- particularly when other vendors can and DO get it right?
Also as both Mac and Win upgrades are pretty much determined and marketed the same way, what does this sloppiness have to do with Mac market share?
But that said, there is enough good information on the Adobe site that should trigger some questions if you as the IT guy have any doubts and are responsible for buying for your company. At the least, doesn't it make sense to call Adobe and ask which SKUs you should buy? It could've saved hours of research time.
If you truly did your research and purchasing carefully and were still fooled, I suggest you start with a complaint to the reseller who sold you the goods.

Contribute CS4 and CS3 user compatibility

I recently had my school purchase 30 copies of CS3 witch I
manage their connections. I have no plans to upgrade to CS4 yet but
if one of my teachers purchases a copy they may only have the
option to buy Contribute CS4. Will this be a problem as far as my
ability to administer their connection and will this be a problem
for other CS3 users if I decide to upgrade. Will I need to go out
and purchase 30 more upgrades? I can't seem to find anything in the
tech docs yet and I am trying to be prepared for the
problems.

> one with CS4 and
> the other with CS3, work on the same documents?
Yes, for the most part. Some things have changed, for example
the markup
used when Flash is inserted, but as long as you aren't doing
things like
that, you will be quite safe.

Contribute CS4 with Dreamweaver CS3

I have a number of sites created with Dreamweaver CS3, and
intend to provide update access with Contribute - but Contribute
CS3 is now hard to get hold of. Will these sites work with
Contribute CS4 if developed with DW CS3: general functions such as
editable sections, checkin/checkout. I don't want to upgrade my
systems yet to CS4.
CS4 suite has much higher system requirement than CS3 - which
probably means a hardware upgrade first - so want to avoid this.
Can't find any info on this anywhere.
Thanks

I just read on the adobe website that:
"Contribute CS4 works with Adobe Dreamweaver® CS4
templates"
Does that mean it wont work with Dreamweaver CS3 templates?

Contribute CS4 and CS5 file transfer (publish) problem on Windows 7 64 bit

Have a problem with Contribute CS5 and CS4 on Windows 7 64 bit where upon editing a webiste for example to add a new page (or edit an existing one) and then clicking on "publish" a blank page appears on the website. To explain this further, If i make the required changes to the page and select the option to publish the file later then the file wirtten to the PC appears to be ok and has all the changes, but as soon as I publish it, only a blank page appears on the web server. ie the upload (ftp) process does happen but the content of the page is being stripped out somewhere during the filt transfer process.
I have editied the same site with CS4 on windows XP without any problems.
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Thank you
Chris

I seem to have solved the issue by downloading this install file
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.2/enu/AdbeRdr920_en_US.exe
which installs successfully.

Dreamweaver CS4 and PS CS3

I installed Dreamweaver CS4 yesterday and this morning I opened Photoshop CS3 to work on some files and PS is not working correctly, when selecting tools such as the brush, majic wand, or move tool all I get is the hand tool. I can still access layers, levels, and other adjustments just fine. Is there a conflict going on between DW 4 and PS 3?

There shouldn't be any conflict between different versions of the applications. What OS are you running and have you installed the latest patches for the programs?

Recently I purchased CS4 Web Design can I deactivated my old Photo. CS4 and Illust. CS3 to sell/gift

I have a full version of CS4 Web Design Premium, now my old Photoshop CS4 and Illustrator CS3 are redundant. Can I either sell these or give as a gift to my girlfriend's nephew - they have been deactivated and removed from my computer (macbook pro).
Thanks for your insight and help!

You may sell or otherwise transfer the individual Photoshop and Illustrator products unless (1) one or the other was used as the basis to do an upgrade to the suite itself or (2) those products were student or academic versions or part of a bulk commercial license.
Make sure you transfer registration of the software using the forms available from Adobe's website.

Installing CS4 and keeping InDesign CS3

Can I install CS4 without removing InDesign CS3? I need to keep both on my computer. is there a trick to this? Also, if I decide to remove CS4 later from my computer and move it elsewhere, can I uninstall it without imperilling InDesign CS3?

You can install CS4 and keep CS3. Just remember that IF these are upgrades, you cannot use CS4 and CS3 on different computers simultaneously. They are for the use of a single person. Technically, your upgrade license for CS4 supersedes you license for CS3. You no longer have a license for CS3 anymore. I doubt Adobe objects to you using CS4 and CS3 on the same computer. You can remove CS4 on a computer and put in on a new machine. A commercial license allows the non-simultaneous use on two computers. You probably can turn on the old computer when you have an occasional job that requires CS3.

Contribute CS4 for Mac crashes

I have Contribute 3 and tried to used it in an Intel Mac and it crashes on launch, so I thought I need an upgrade and last night
I bought Contribute CS4 and I have the exact same problem: It crashes on launch I have to force quit it.
Before I had a Trial version and it worked fine, is when typed in the serial that the trial version froze, so I downloaded a new one
and after installation go fine, then I clicked "Launch the App" and I only get to see the splash window, then it crashes.
A few hours ago I discovered that I need the serial for Macromedia Contribute 3, can someone please tell how I get that serial?
I registered at Macromedia.
Thank you

This is an ongoing problem I was associated with the following thread
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1049444?tstart=0#1049444
but it has been closed because it has been 'answered'! When I searched for this thread I could not find it and I only have it because I found it in an email to myself (almost as if Adobe is trying to hide it!)
I am still having the issues and have had to
delete all reference to Contribute CS4 in Library/Application Support and Library/Preferences.
Relaunch Contribute
Go to Contribute --> My Connections and Check the 'do not connect to websites at startup'
Re do your site Connection
This may work for a while but the problem is certainly not fixed. I manage my school's intranet and have up to 100 people connected. We ahve foolishly just upgraded to CS4!!
Good Luck, hopefully Adobe may reopen the discussion on this matter and actually fix it. Ironically, every time it crashes the Adobe Crash Reporter does not open so Apple get 20 reports from me a day!

Contribute CS4 Disc/ Download Link?

Greetings Contribute Forum Users!
I have managed to lose my disc for Contribute CS4 and Tech Support suggested I post here to see if anyone happens to have a disc or the download link ferreted away? I have my own serial number, so no worries about using one of your licenses. Any help would be much appreciated!
Best,
Kristen

Hi Kirsten!
Please let me know the platform (Windows or Mac) for which you need the installer for Contribute CS4.
Also, if you could provide me your contact details on a private message, we would revert back to you with the details from where you would be able to download the setup for Contribute CS4.
Regards,

Contribute CS4 error "No Document Types. The application will exit now."

Contribute was working fine, until my husband updated my iMac to Mountain Lion. Now I can't even get the product to launch. I uninstalled Contribute CS4 and re-installed it with no change in the issue. HELP!
Linda

Mountain LION is not a supported platform for Adobe Contribute CS4. The supported versions are Latest Adobe Contribute 6.5 and Adobe Contribute CS5.X.

Install Contribute CS4 via Group Policy?

Hi,
We have just purchased some copies of Contribute CS4 and I need to deploy them via a Group Policy. Normally, I will do this with the MSI that has already been created by the manufacturer and do an administrative install (msiexec /a <productname>.msi) but there is only a WinBootstrapper.msi file for Contribute CS4.
Can anyone share with me how they have installed Contribute CS4 via Group Policy?
Thanks.
Pete.

Network Deployment of Adobe Flash Player
I found this link http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_admin_guide.html
It is a good idea to extract the msi the deployment data point using msiexec /a {filename} (this creates an administrative installer)
Use the extracted MSI to deploy flash. (either assigned or published)
Please make sure that the user can read from the data point you place the files.

Dreamweaver CS3 will it work with Contribute CS4 Mac 2 PC

Hi I asked this same question in the contribute area of the
forum bu then thought t may be best to ask here as I wanted to know
if Contribute CS4 will work with Dreamweaver CS3?
I take it for granted that it will, I have a mac and will
create a site with Dreamweaver CS3 and then have the client who has
a PC to buy Contribute CS4, will this work okay or do I need to
create the site with a PC and with Dreamweaver CS4?

I just read on the adobe website that:
"Contribute CS4 works with Adobe Dreamweaver® CS4
templates"
Does that mean it wont work with Dreamweaver CS3 templates?
