Contribute CS4 Paste/Insert Issues

I hope someone can help with this. We are having an issue
where we can't paste/insert anything having to do with HTML into a
nested template in Contribute CS4. If we select text from notepad
and paste or "Paste Text Only" from Contribute, it works great! We
did not have these issues in CS3.
We would just roll back to CS3, but we upgraded to CS4
because when editing a page in CS3 with a flash script, cs3 would
mess up the script.
Thanks!

Hi,
Can you please let me know the exact scenario to reproduce
issue?
Also please send me the nested template you used and the
parent template of the nested template to [email protected]
You information will be kept confidential.
Thanks.

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!!!

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.

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.

Contribute CS4 on Windows 7 64 bit - Attempting to edit existing website results in a blank page

Hi,
I am an IT Tech and not an Adobe Contribute user so my apologies in advance for wrong terminology.
I just installed a new Windows 7 64 bit PC for a client and installed their copy of CS4 Contribute.
When they attempt to edit their website the page being edited ends up blank. We can't work out why.
The same software was on an Windows XP PC and is the same website that they could edit previously without any problems.
Can anyone assist with settings or advice on potential incompatibility issues?
Thanks
Chris

This one is most likely related to permissions - Contribute simply does not have access to write the temporary file, but still attempts to anyway (resulting in a file being created / cleared on the server, but no actual information being written to the file).
This still appeared to be a problem even when running the application in Administrator mode.
I may get flamed by the super security-concience techs, but this worked for me:
Find the location of the temporary site / draft folder (default is C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Adobe\Contribute CS4\en_US\Sites)
Select the folders in the "Sites" folder
Right-click one of them and go to "Properties"
Click the security tab and click "Edit"
Add the user "Everyone"
Select the "Everyone" user and check "Full Control"
Hit OK, then OK again
I can't guarantee it will work, but see how you go.
Thanks

Contribute CS4 only shows browser Window?

Hi All,
I have a bizzare issue that I can't seem to find anyone else having.My Contribute CS4 is only showing the browser window. This means I get no File, Edit, that sort of thing. It is super frustrating because is severly limits what I can do.It also means I can't resize the window, much less move it. It is basically set in size and location (the center of my screen). I have deleted the preferences folder and registry entry to foce them to be rebuilt, but it didn't help at all.
I'm sure this is something simple, but I have tried every key combination I can think of, none seem to be working. I've attached a screen shot so you can see what I'm talking about.
Just as an FYI, I'm running Windows 7.

Hi Kathy,
Yes the menu bar within Internet Explorer is showing. It is frustrating because I literally cannot do anything other than hit ALT+F4 to close the application or click on things showing within the area in the screen shot.
Thanks for the suggestion.

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 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!

Contribute CS4 Newbie Help

Hello, I just downloaded the free trial version of Contribute
CS4...installation when alright but when I try to open Contribute
it takes quite a long time and then when it finally opens I get an
error message that says Suitcase is having trouble opening specific
Helvetica fonts. Is this a Contribute issue...a CS4 issue...a
Suitcase issue...or do I have some corrupt fonts?
What I'm running:
Mac OS X 10.4.11
Suitcase X1
I also have been running CS3 and this is the first CS4
program I am trying.
Also on a side note. I have another question about
Contribute. I am looking at getting a CMS for some clients and one
of my friends suggested Contribute...my question to the Contribute
community is what are you takes on Contribute being a viable CMS?
And, if I were to chose to use Contribute would my clients need to
purchase Contribute to author the website...how does that process
work?
Thanks!

Each client requires a license of Contribute (and yourself,
to admin the site).
Best way to set the site up for Contribute is to use Editable
regions (created by Dreamweaver, or by handcoding, search this form
on "handcoding"), so your users cannot mess up the design.

Contribute CS4 not showing up during install

I'm trying to install Contribute CS4 on a PC running Windows 7.
I've had it up and running using the same installer previously, so I know that it works (I also tried downloading the files again but the same issue returned).
What's happening is, that the installer runs fine but only shows me the option of installing various smaller adobe programs - not Contribute.
I've tried uninstalling and running the cleaner tool but the issue is still there.
What can I do? I need the software for maintaining a website.
Thanks in advance.

if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem downloading, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com

"Earlier versions of Adobe Photoshop (CS3 and CS4) software were also tested with Mountain Lion and there are currently no known issues."
and
"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."
Do not mean the same thing.
Adobe probably DID test and found no problems with their machines using their configurations but they can't cover every possible configuration out there so there's bound to be some instances (or many instances) where it won't work.
Hence the second quote saying it is not supported...

Contribute CS4 Install error - ccmenu.xml

Hi,
Trying to get Contribute CS4 installed for a user here at Notre Dame. It keeps telling us that:
"Contribute encountered problems while constructing the menus from the current ccmenus.xml file.
Please delete the current ccmenus.xml file and rename menus.bak to ccmenus.xml."
We do this, and that same error comes up every time. We uninstall and reinstall and that error comes up every time.
Anyone seen this?
The machine is a new iMac running Mac OS X 10.6.2. It does not have any CS3 products installed just CS4.
thanks,
bart loeb, notre dame

Seems like an issue with media files, some of the content might be missing. Try to download CS4 from the below website but make sure to follow the "Very Important Instructions", mentioned on that website, carefully before downloading it.

Contribute CS4 is overwriting my files with a blank page

Hello,
I'm hoping that someone can help resolve this issue we're having with Contribute CS4. My client has successfully used the software for several months and recently the issue started.
Now, when he tries to publish a page that he has made edits to, Contribute overwrites the previous file (HTML file) and puts a completely blank HTML page in it's place. He's using a Windows XP PC and the hosting (Network Solutions) is fine. I can connect using my FTP client and am able to make edits using Dreamweaver CS4.
He gets an error message that says:
“Contribute encountered a network or file system error. Please try the operation again, and contact the administrator if the problem continues to occur.”
Thanks for any help in advance!

Do you Know how to Close a app in the Background? Try this at First
If Same issue, restart
If still Same issue, reset (hold Home+powerbutton for a VEW seconds, Till you See the Apple)

Contribute CS4 suddenly won't connect, but it did before...

I just re-designed and launched a website for my client, who used Contribute CS4 to edit the old site, and now for some reason when they open Contribute and click on "connect", they get this error:
"This error (HTTP 404 Not Found) means that this program was able to connect to the website, but the page you wanted was not found. It's possible that the webpage is temporarily unavailable. Alternatively, the website might have changed or removed the webpage."
For the life of me, I cannot figure out why they could connect to their server before, and not now. When I try to make a connection to their website in Contribute CS5, I enter in the FTP info and I get the error:
"Unknown host. Contribute can not find the server "ftp.spenardroadhouse.com" Please check your connection information or contact your administrator."
I know there isn't anything wrong with the web pages themselves, because I'm able to use Contribute to edit them when they are on my server instead of the client's server. Also, I have no trouble connecting to the client's server using FTP in Dreamweaver.
Does anyone know why this is happening? Help!

Hi, we are currently experiencing this issue while maintaining a list of +75 connections in Contribute. We are using a CPS server to maintain user/connection information.
Reinstalling is not really a good option since it takes about 3 hours before all the connections are back up.
How can you explain that for on connection it's working fine, while for some others not, while using EXACTLY the same FTP information??

Deactivaton Problems with Contribute CS4

I need to know how to deactivate adobe contribute cs4. I've tried searching and the only advice I have been given is to click 'Help -> Deactivate'. That's all well and good, but when I open contribute there is not a help button, or the normal toolbar you get on most programs.
My situation:
I use this program for work, so I initially installed it on my works computer (Registration 1). However, the program does not work on this computer for an unknown reason (adobe have been unable to help me). So I then installed it on my personal laptop at home (Registration 2). It worked fine. However, I then got a new computer. So I unistalled contribute from my laptop and installed it on my new computer (Registration 3). Now, this works fine too. However, it has stopped letting me use it because I have too many registrations so I need to know how to
1) Remove the registration from the copy on my work computer and
2) Remove the registration from a computer that I no longer have (and that no longer has the program installed)
Any help you can give me is much appreciated. As I type, I have the phone cocked under my ear. I've been on hold to adobe for 26 minutes so far, so I am not expecting a quick response from them.
They were quick enough to take my payment for the product though. No half hour wait on the phone THEN. But that's another issue!

You may be more likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the Adobe Photoshop forum:

Good luck.
