Contribute CS4 & Mac 10.5.5 w/ Update 5.0.2

A previous thread located at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/36922?tstart=30 apparently solved the issue of long connection times & the beach ball, but the link to the solution referred to (http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=55&catid=30 2&threadid=1405942&enterthread=y ) no longer works.  (Just goes to the forum index page.)
Also, I installed Contribute Update 5.0.2 for Mac, thinking it might resolve the issue, but it did not.  In fact, I'm not sure the update was even applied.  It says it was and won't let me run it again, but at startup, it still says the version is 5.0.

Please try upgrading to latest version of MAC and safari.

  • 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?

  • Contribute CS4 reinstall - import previous site settings

    I have reinstalled Contribute CS4 Mac from DVD after a disk crash.  I have a full time machine backup of the previous disk. How can I restore the previous Connection and Website settings?  I am the administrator and want to be able to access all the previously configured group and editor settings.
    I trying restoring ~/Library/Adobe/Contribute CS4 which appears to contain my old site settings but they don't show up in the new installation.
    Thanks,
    Robert

    1) Quit Contribute
    2) Restore "~/Library/Adobe/Contribute CS4"
    2) Also restore "~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Contribute 5 Preferences".
    Hope this solves your problem.

  • 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 upgrade/update

    Is there an upgrade/update to contribute cs4 or do we have to purchase cs5?  Our web site server was updated & it will not run on cs4.

    You would need to upgrade to the newest version (6.5).

  • CS4 Mac: Inserting PayPal buttons?

    Hello.  I have a Mac user who needs to be able to create specific PayPal buttons for new events and update a web page with the new button as the event draws near.  Can this be done in Mac Contribute CS4?  Does the user create the button in PayPal and cut-and-paste the code, or do it in CS4?  I've seen references to a WebAssist.com toolkit, but it seems like the toolkit requires Dreamweaver, which the user does not have.
    The user currently has Contribute 3 running on Snow Leopard and it keeps crashing, so I need to upgrade him soon.
    Thanks
    David

    In Contribute CS4, one can insert these Paypal buttons - Buy Now, Add To Cart, View Cart, Subscription and Donation buttons. In the Insert Menu, there is PayPal sub-menu, and select any of them. For any other custom PayPal buttons, you can copy the code, and in Contribute insert it as a HTML snippet. (That is, copy the code associated with PayPal button, in Contribute select Insert menu, and select HTML snippet sub-menu. In the HTML Snippet dialog box, paste the PayPal code.)
    Hope this helps. Cheers!!!

  • After upgrading to mountain lion, contribute cs4 did not open

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I found that Contribute CS4 did not open.  In searching for an answer I found the following on the Adobe forum:
    "Earlier versions of Adobe Photoshop (CS3 and CS4) software were also tested with Mountain Lion and there are currently no known issues."
    So continuing to search, two days of frustration ensued as I "chatted" with 2 unhelpful Adobe customer support reps, searched unhelpful Apple and Adobe websites and posted my question in various places.  Finally I found that the above statement was completely wrong when I received the following from an Adobe staffer:
    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.
    And now I have to spend hundreds in order to maintain my website after upgrading to Mountain Lion.  I don't even know to whom I should take my complaint, Apple or Adobe.  Does this mean I have to research every piece of software I use before upgrading my Mac?  At the very least, Mac owners should be forwarned of platform support failures for major 3rd party producers. I'm doing my bit here.   How about you taking some responsibility?

    I just baught a new imac from the apple store and loaded mountain lion when I got home due to the time it would take there.  I then used migration assitant to load CS4 from my mac pro that is using snow lepord.  This worked flawlessly. CS4 and Bridge work great.  I then downloaded the mountain lion upgrade to my wifes mac pro that was also using snow lepord and once mountain lion was instaled it disabled CS4 compleatly.  I will repost the results tomorrow. I believe that I can reinstall CS4 to her mac pro now that she has mountain lion installed using migration assistant from my mac pro since it worked this way with the new imac.  I hope this works because I want to upgrade my mac pro to mountain lion but can't afford to lose CS4. 

  • InCopy CS4 (PC) / InDesign CS4 (mac) not working

    My client and I are trying to establish an InCopy CS4 (PC) / InDesign CS4 (Mac) workflow. Neither of us has ever used InCopy and we are all getting frustrated now that our first production cycle has come and gone and the client is not recouping the money they invested on this software. Our trial system was successful for awhile and then it just stopped. The client says she can't open the icma/icml files and they need the indd file. So I send a new batch of files with the indd included and still no luck.
    I'm saving the assigments like I've been saving in our initial trial run. In ID I go to Incopy > Export > Add all Stories to Assignment. That creates the content folder and the .icma files. I zip everything and send it off via email attachment.
    Is there something I am doing wrong? Something my client needs to do? I prefer not to have to send the indd file. Should I have to do that for them to edit in Incopy? I appreciate any advice. Thank you.  Lynn

    Don't zip the files, that won't work.ID/IC is meant to work on a local server w/local staff. For a remote workflow you have to use a special technique.
    After you create the assignment, use the Package for InCopy command in the Assignments panel.That creates an ICAP file that you send to the client.
    When the double-click the ICAP file, it unpacks (it's like a zip file) on their computer and the assignment opens in InCopy. They work on the stories, and when they're done, they use the Return for InDesign command in *their* Assignments panel menu. That creates an IDAP file that they send to you.
    When you open the IDAP file, it unpacks, looks for the INDD file (be sure not to rename or move it in the meantime), and updates the stories w/the editors changes.
    Those are the broad strokes. It's covered more thoroughly in the online help file of both ID and IC ... you *and* your client should read up on it. And I cover it very thoroughly (4 videos ... Chapter 15) in my online Lynda.com tutorial on the CS4 workflow:
    http://www.lynda.com/home/DisplayCourse.aspx?lpk2=651
    (Chapter 15 isn't one of the freebie chapters, but you (or anyone) can use my 24-hour free pass for full access to their entire training library: http://lynda.com/freepass/amconcepcion)

  • Contribute CS4 ignores template changes?

    First, I'm new to Contribute. I understand the general idea
    of what it does and how it works, but I'm clearly out of my element
    on how it works with template files.
    I'm setup as an administrator on a Contribute CS4
    installation on WinXP. I can edit and publish pages with no
    problems.
    Except this: When I modify the template files for the site
    (obtained from the server, modified, and replaced on the server),
    the new modifications are not appearing in the newly-published
    pages. I've verified that I'm working on the correct template for
    the particular page, and I've even made sure to "refresh templates"
    a couple times in case that worked. I've even gone so far as to
    find the drafts of the pages I've been working on and make sure the
    templates stored on my hard drive are properly updated (they are).
    Am I wrong to expect Contribute to incorporate updates to the
    template file? Am I being a complete bonehead and missing something
    obvious (wouldn't be the first time)?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    I've just had to update 100+ template based pages on a
    Contribute site. I ended up having to use Dreamweaver exclusively
    for the change.
    Contribute does not seem to be "aware" of template updates
    when you update a template based page. When you edit a page based
    on a template that has changed, it doesn't apply the change or give
    you any means of applying the change.
    Also, when I attempted to use Modify-Templates-Update Current
    Page on a page in Dreamweaver using the File-Actions-Edit Page
    Source in External Application, Contribute went, well, berserk,
    acting like I wanted to change dozens of pages and files in the
    site. Lots of manual clean-up after that.
    So, I just used only Dreamweaver to update all the pages
    based on the template, as well as updating the template itself.
    It's possible to "break" a Dreamweaver template by updating the
    template with another editor.

  • Contribute CS4 problem

    I have used several versions of Contribute. The most recent install is Contribute CS4. The computer I have been using suffered a hard drive crash and had to be replaced. In trying to reinstall Contribute I am unable to get beyond the 30 day trial because I don't have the serial number of the previous install. Please help me. I use this product to update a website for a non-profit arts group.

    You will most definitely need the serial number to go beyond the trial. If it wasn't neccesary, everyone would be doing it.
    That being said, if you registered the product with Adobe (you did register, right?), they will have that information available in your Adobe account. Sign in at https://www.adobe.com/account/sign-in.adobedotcom.html?returnURL=http://www.adobe.com/.
    If you did not register, a call to customer support (be ready to prove that you own the software) may be in order.
    Good luck.

  • 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.

  • Contribute CS4 authplay.dll error on launch

    Clean install of newly purchased Contribute CS4 on client system that exceeds system requirements. Upon initial launch, error RE: authplay.dll and program goes not further than initial splash screen. Can only kill the process at that point to close it.
    What is the solution?

    I purchased three copies of Contribute CS4 to be installed on Win XP machines. One laptop runs without errors. The two desktop machines give the error "Contribute has encountered a problem and needs to close" and "AppName: contribute.exe        AppVer: 5.0.0.3264                ModName: authplay.dll
    ModVer: 10.0.0.521 Offset: 00205ce6".
    I ran a search for authplay.dll on the troubled systems and found multiple versions; I rolled the file back to 10.0.0.508 which I found in Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Utilities/Extendscript Toolkit CS4.
    This seems to have fixed the problem, at least for now. I am able to open Contribute on all machines as of this writing (however I fully expect the Adobe Updater to undo my efforts with the file in question the next time it runs).
    Hopefully this may help others.
