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).

How to Get Contribute CS4 to Update Available Styles when CSS is Updated

I am using a style sheet on my website. I recently updated the style sheet, adding a new style, in Dreamweaver. When I go into Contribute, the style is not showing up.
How can I force Contribute to get the updated data from the latest version of the CSS?
I have about 8 people using Contribute to edit a site and I desperately need them to be able to see the new styles.
Thank you in advance.
Mary Beth

Hi,
The CSS you are defining are CSS classes right, not the ID? That is, in your CSS file, you are defining the new styles using the '.' symbol. If so, then can you ask your users to refresh the web page they want to edit (browse to the web page, right click to bring up the context menu and click Refresh menu item).
Now, they can edit the web page, and the new styles would be displayed in the Styles menu. If that did not resolve the issue, can you ask them to recreate the connection to the website (remove the website connection and creating it again), or, quit and launch Contribute and click Connect button to connect to the website.
If the new style is defined using '#' symbol, I don't think Contribute will display these styles.
Hope this helps.

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.

If I update to Lion from 10.6.8, will Adobe CS4 "upgrade" work?????

I have Adobe CS4 from an "upgrade". Will these adobe programs work if I upgrade to Lion? Please, need an answer ASAP, so I know whether to make my next computer a Mac or a PC!!!! It is absolutely ridiculous that my friend, who has at least 8 PC computers ( including business computers) is able to use all features of icloud using Win7(which is 16 months old), and I cannot use it on my "Apple" antique using 10.6.8(which is only 9 months old) (2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) for the same purpose.
I have never even had a PC, always an Apple product. Now I get slapped in the face, HARD. Apple just killed me for EVER buying another Apple computer, if I am unable to use ICloud with my computers which WILL run my adobe products. I also have an IMac Intel Core duo 3.06, two IPads and a new Iphone. and now I am done with Apple products I guess, if I have to update to Lion to use ICloud with a computer. Especially if Lion doesn't support my current expensive suite of CS4(UPGRADE), and other Apps. What on earth is Apple trying to do, phase out of computers totally? Have a relative who works for Apple, and no one can figure out why the company is so favoring the PC people. The only thing I can come up with is that Win7 is a far superior program to OS10.6.8, and is likely vastly superior to the current joke of "Lion", and the upcoming "Mountain Lion". At least Snow Leopards have some dignity, and honesty in their "live" form. "Lion" is aptly named after an animal widely known for killing and eating cubs of its own species. Mountain Lions are sneaky, creepy stalkers, who attack suddenly without notice, and kill animals off efficiently and quickly. Male Mt.Lions also are known to kill the young of their own species, even their own cubs. I guess these new OS's are aptly named, as they certainly are killing off those who have been faithful to Apple for so long.
I can buy a PC running Win 7, with the speed, programs, etc., that I need, for far less than a new, comparable Mac, which it seems will require me to purchase all new expensive Apps. (Adobe CS+), etc.
Why is Apple unable to either 1) offer its previously totally faithful adherants the ability to use its ICloud service using 10.6.8, which only came out 9 months ago (while Win 7 and Vista users can use the service easily), or at least make its new OS, work with expensive Apps owned by people, which work on 10.6.8, but will not work, so I hear, on "Lion" (and presumably not on "Mountain Lion" either).   Apple is/has turned into a predator of the worst sort, without a single thought or care about previously faithful customers.   WHY?
Also, off my wagon and back to my question; will an "UPGRADE" of Adobe CS4 work with the latest updated "Lion"? Thanks!

I went to that page. Basically, it didn't specifically answer my question, or I am too dense to find the answer. I understand that there are a few problems with Photoshop, which is the main use (of mine). I could live with what it says. I also found that there were problems with CS4, and using the brush tool, when I updated to 10.6.8. Found a fix to that by updating my Quicktime. Why that works, I have no idea. I am not a computer whiz, in fact at the other end of the spector, but read on a discussion that this updating of Quicktime worked, so tried it, and it did!
This community is a life saver for me. I live in rural Wyoming (I guess all of Wyoming is rural.....) and no one knows anything about Macs. All my problems have been solved by you great people! And I thank you !
My present concern is: I read somewhere else, that if my version of Photoshop, which is CS4, was purchased as an "upgrade", which it was, then maybe it will not upload to "Lion", as maybe the disk (upgrade), I have, may use Rosetta, which is NOT included in "Lion".   What I have read is that I would have to have a "new" (not an upgrade) version of CS4 in order for it to work with "Lion".   Anyone out there know the answer???? Photoshop users?????
Geniuses???? If you know, please help me out here. I love my Macs, but really am irritated that the friends I have tried to talk into buying Mac computers, but didn't, now can enjoy all the advantages of ICloud, with an older version of their computer program (Win 7 OR(!!!) VISTA, and I cannot !!!! Here I sit, with my 2 beloved Macs, both fairly new, 2 IPads, a new IPhone, and I am the one that cannot use ICloud?????? Was it in fact made for PC people, who have become Apple consumers through iPhone and iPad, and not made for the faithful, longtime Apple consumers???? HELP!!!!

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 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 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 Crashes Using Vimeo Links

We recently started posting videos on Vimeo and tried to add links on our website (using Contribute CS4). We can create a link to any Vimeo page but then Contribute will crash when editing any text or when looking at the properties of the hyperlink. If I remove the Vimeo link the crashing problems immediately go away. This happens even if the link is just to http://vimeo.com.
We will consider upgrading Contribute if this problem goes away in newer version, but we don't want to spend more on Contribute if the problem also exists in newer versions. Anyone else having this experience?

questions: where is the InDesign Defaults file? and, most importantly, how can I fix this problem? It's really hard to work w/o a links panel.
If replacing prefs will work (no promises, but sudden flakiness like this is a good candidate), you'll find all you need at Replace Your Preferences
If it doesn't work, post a link to the crash report as John suggests and he can probably give you some insight into what the problem is.

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.

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 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.

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
"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...
