Crashing during publishing

All of a sudden, iWeb 08 is crashing in the middle of the task when I try to publish to a folder. I'm using Mountain Lion and haven't had a problem until today. Anyone know of a fix?

iWeb '08 is known to be unstable when used with Mountain Lion. The problem appears to be with some incompatible files in the OS and it looks like you would need to either update to iWeb V 3.0.4 or run iWeb under Snow Leopard on a separate, bootable hard drive.
The latter method makes more sense as it is hardly worth buying the iLife disk to update software that is now redundant. If you do want to consider this option you would need to purchase the iLife '09 or '11 disk from somewhere like Amazon.

Cp 5 crashes during publishing of large projects

I have large Captivate 5 projects with 300-450 slides divided into 2 to 4 slide groups. When I publish the SWF file, the publishing process always freezes at 70% and the application crashes (can't hit Cancel in the progress window ).
This is not due to any particular file; many of my large projects run into this problem.
This is probably not due to a particular slide since all the projects freeze at 70% and I can publish each slide group in its own project without any trouble.
The projects are straightforward demonstrations; no quizzing.
Scouring the net I've had trouble finding a resolution to the problem. I use Captivate 5.0.3.631
Hoping for ideas. Thanks for reading
-Patrick
PS.
I've tried:
> In publish dialog "Advanced Options", to enable "force re-publish all the slides"
> In Preferences > "SWF Size and Quality", to disable "Advanced Project Compression"
> In Preferences > "SWF Size and Quality", to disable "Compress SWF File"
> In Preferences > "SWF Size and Quality", to enable "Compress Full Motion Recording SWF file"
> to remove the slide groups and leave the slides ungrouped
> In Publish dialog, to publish as .f4v instead of swf
> to hide all the slides in a slide group in order to reduce the publish SWF to 200 or 250 slides.
None of these have worked.

Vikranth --
Through process of elimination, I have found the offending slide -- Slide 55 in the Captivate 5 version, which incorporates several fill-in-the-blank questions. When I hide that one slide, everything previews and/or publishes as it should. I had my colleague test her original Captivate 4 version in Captivate 4, and that slide worked just fine (it is however a slightly later slide number) -- the entire project previewed as expected. I then had her import her orginal file into Captivate 5 and do the same thing, and it crashed for her as well.
So, it must be something about the way that particular slide is setup that screws up somehow in the conversion from a Captivate 4 file to a Captivate 5 file. I'll just handle that question differently to fix the issue at hand, but do you have any idea why this problem might have occured in the first place? It seems that the patch didn't correct this situation as it corrected most of the other Captivate 4 to Captivate 5 issues.
Thanks to everyone for their help. I had to play detective and isolate the issue, and haven't solved it, but at least now I have a starting point to try and do the slide in a different way to work around the issue.

Captivate 5 Crashes During Publishing of Cap.4 file

Hi All --
So I'm trying to help a fellow co-worker out. She needed me to clean up a Captivate 4 project for her in terms of quizzing and formatting, only I have Captivate 5, which of course makes this much easier, but I've tried publishing to .zip and .html about a dozen times and the publish crashes the entire Adobe Captivate 5 program, without fail, right around 31%.
I've made sure that the 5.1 patch is applied (which was supposed to fix publishing issues from Cap. 4), I've dumped the preferences folder (I'm a pro at this by now), and I've tried on both a Macintosh OS X 10.6 system and a Windows 7 System, and it does the same thing, so I don't know what is wrong. The project is a bit long at 168 slides, but there's no audio, and it's really a pretty basic project with the biggest interactivity being quizzes and rollover captions, so nothing as fancy as I usually do with advanced actions.
I realize this might have something to do with a particular slide or something, so this file can be temporarily accessed off of my iDisk using this link (https://files.me.com/dancomins/p7njsq), it's about 4 MB, if that might help address the issue.
I am a total loss -- I've had issues with Captivate before of course, but never at the publishing step -- so any help or suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thanks so much!
Dan

Muse Crash - after pages "optimizing assets" and "exported" During Publish

The following was causing me problems for about a week or so. I continued to pursue it with the following "Crash" symptoms until waking this morning with perhaps a resolution to the inconsistent problem. It is so simple I would probably be wise just to ignor giving you an answer to save face. But, sometimes you just must standup and take it ... so don't be too hard on me.
ANSWER TO MY CRASH PROBLEM: When publishing you have in the option menu to either upload all changes or just upload those things that have changed from the last update. With over 2,000 images on my site and 18 pages I decided, until I had a major upgrade, to take the option to upload only changed items of my site. This saves a lot of time. In thinking about it it came to me "who is then deciding what is "change" and what conditions apply and are covered by the logic of the Muse program". What is considered an error to crash the program! So I chose the option to upload all items and this seemed to fix the problem. I think it has as it crashed right after it had uploaded the "changed" items but, never published them (because of an error somewhere in the uploads). My suggestion to the program writers is whatever sensed the error should have a dialogue box that says to rerun the program using "upload all items". Love this program! Howard Lower of Lower Photography and Studio in Rochester, MN.
Muse Crash right after pages are exported during publish with no other indication of a problem. I have been fighting this problem for many days now.
I thought I had it fixed last night as it worked fine after deleting the Microsoft Outlook plugin called Acrobat PDFmaker Office com Addin as the descriptions of the problems it caused others with Adobe programs sounded exactly what I was see with Muse.
The only Change I see in Muse today is that during "Publish", and the information as it runs is Muse first "optimizing assets", them it Export Desktop page and gets to 16 of 18 then Muse crashes without any indication or message for the problem.
Could it be a problem with "Business Catalyst" as that is what "Publish" is exporting to? Who can check out to see what is happening from exporting assets to Business Catalyst? It appears that the one line in the specification box does not have to have any information put into it regarding the directory location as it already has the business Catalyst name or reference site in it. Is this correct?
That is all I need and the only thing I can say is .... HELP! Muse is the perfect program for me and my business and now it has let me down so that I can not make changes to what I would consider a great website at http://www.lowerphotography.com if I could only make needed changes.

Well, after 20 hours of work and rebuilding most of my Muse website I finally was able to upload by site again.
Here was my problems per above and the last 20 hours. When publishing the site it does the following: Optimize assets, exportin desktip page 1 thru 19, Fining export HTML files then uploading images which I have 2208 on this site plus other stuff uploaded.
I can not answer why it now works as "normally"it would het error #2015 uring optimizing assets wich is an invalid bitmap data error and failed at only 9% publish process then got a 1125 index 0 is out of range0 at publish 20% complete.
I did rewrite most of the pages and made minor changes to all of them thinking that would force all pages to be uploaded as I also took option to upload all pages instead of just those that changes. All 2008 images were reloaded onto the pages by another hint I read on how to delete all thumbnails and thus the files is to select all and press delete and it will leave one as required. Then the one left could be deleted by itself. Thanks for whoever asked the question and who answered it. This saved me a lot of time.
Thanks to all that have taken the time to help me out. Muse is a great program but sometimes you don't have any idea if it is working at something so I found myself looking at the computer busy light to see if Muse was taking a lot of cycles. It would help to have a wider use of the cursor busy indicator as sometimes the system seemed like it was hung up but it was not.
Thanks guys!
Again, after hours of calmness and yes I also prayed over this problem and this last time it worked. So stay calm, and keep working at it and God helping doesn't hurt either. I can not explain it otherwise.

IWeb application keeps crashing during my Mobileme publish....PLEASE HELP!!

Hey everyone,
I am in some serious need of some help. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. I have been using iWeb for about 5 months now and have never had any problems uploading to Mobileme. Just recently, after creating an elaborate website for my Miami HEAT clientele, iWeb has been crashing during my publish to Mobileme through the iWeb application. Through reading some different discussions, I have figured out that my domain file under the Application Support folder is corrupted. I know this because when I drag that domain (with all my website content) to the desktop and re-start iWeb, a new domain is created and successfully publishes. I am now in need of figuring out how to copy all my website content from my old corrupted domain to this new freshly made one....the bottom line; I would like to avoid having to re-create my entire website from scratch on this new domain...Roddy mentioned being able to copy and paste, but after exploring some I have not been able to figure out how to do this.
I also tried to upload to a folder and then dragging all the files to Cyberduck, but it takes ALL DAY to do and never completes uploading...
I don't want to pay $50 for the 30 day Applecare for phone tech support to only hear that I will inevitably have to re-create my entire site...
Can anyone help? I have clientele that have been hassling me to get their pictures online...please help.

The posters here are right. Cutting and pasting may take a bit of time if you have a lot of pages (as I did a year ago) but it's better than rewriting code or retyping pages. As of '08 Apple didn't have any server backup capability of published iweb sites, so it is up to the user to do it.
I have four sequential backups of my Domain file. I backup to 2 locations each day, that way if a batch goes bad, I only lose a day's work at most; in addition, the chances of 2 backups and the original going bad at one time are remote.
Just last week my Domain file became corrupted. Just wouldn't publish and received an error message. In 10 seconds I clicked on a recent backup and it worked fine. Go figure?! So I dragged the main bad Domain file to the trash, dragged the working copy from the external hard drive to the Library, and voila...back in business.
The message is backup, backup, backup, especially when your business web site is at stake.

IPhoto crashes during Flickr set up

I installed the iLife 09 family suite on my computer then on my husband's (iMac 2.4 GHz intel core duo). iPhoto works flawlessly on my husband's. On mine however, it started out with the same problem others have posted: iPhoto crashing (or closing unexpectedly) upon starting. I followed the advice in a post to turn off AirPort and then start iPhoto turning AirPort on again once iPhoto was running. This seemed to solve that problem.
My problem now is that iPhoto crashes (or closes unexpectedly) when I try to "set up" Flickr to work through iPhoto. I click the Flickr button and it brings up Safari to have me log into our Flickr account then I am supposed to select the "ok, I'll allow it" button - but somewhere in there iPhoto always crashes in the background. The log below is from one of these occasions (I have only pasted what looked important to me).

I've tried to publish to MobileMe as well, and iPhoto always crashes during that scenario as well.
I used my husband's computer to test the Flickr feature using the same library my computer was working with - his published perfectly.
Here are the troubleshooting techniques I have used (all have yielded the same crashing of iPhoto during MobileMe/Flickr setup):
tried both with and without the iPhoto Update 8.0.2
tried restoring iPhoto 08 from Time Machine (can publish to MobileMe even as recent as the day I installed 09); then reinstalled iPhoto 09
tried reinstalling iPhoto 09 while iPhoto 09 was still on the computer
tried deleting the the com.apple.iPhoto.plist (but not the com.apple.iphotomosaic.plist)
tried rebuilding photo library with all 5 options selected
tried resetting Safari with all 9 options selected
have opened and saved a file in Garage Band (I know I'm reaching now)
tried starting with other libraries, including creating a new one
Interesting: my new iWeb published content and pictures to MobileMe no problem!
Background: my MacBook was not "born" with Leopard or iPhoto 08 - I put those on a year(?) ago (about the same time I upgraded my memory). And, my iPhoto 08 had been crashing or hanging when ever I tried to export (one of the reasons I wanted 09 so badly - to fix that problem). I thought that might have been due to my dotphoto file exported plugin - but I've deleted it and I've tried restoring past the time I installed it. iPhoto library has 6,700 pictures and 70 movies taking up 13.1 GB.
Any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong? It feels like iPhoto 09 doesn't "talk" to the internet correctly.

Patrick-
Thank you for the suggestion. I still encounter the same problem after running repair disk permissions. Here's what I get: Permissions differ on "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/iPhotoAccess.framework/Versions/A/Resources/P lugins/..."
the specific plugins vary (there are about 16) then it states ".../Contents/CodeResources", should be -rw-r--r--, they are lrw-r--r--.
It also states this for nine /CoreServices/Front Row.app/
There are also warnings; one is: SUID file "System/Library/Filesystems/AppleShare/afpLoad" has been modified and will not be repaired.
It ends by saying Permissions repair complete. I have no idea what to do with this information!

Large captivate file crashes during preview

Hi,
I have a very large training -- 600 or so slides -- that I created in Captivate 6. It is mostly made up of Power Point slides and demo videos. When I preview it using f8, it crashes at several points in the training, and always at the same spots. When I preview using F10, it doesn't have this problem. Luckily, the published version doesnt seem to crash, but I would like to preview the project with having to publish it.
Let me know if you can help..
Thank you!
Ryan

Ok.. Thank you!

ITunes Match crashes during 3rd step when uploading songs to the iCloud

Hello There,
I have just one issue with iTunes Match which causes me to be slightly skeptical, although it is such an amazing way to listen to music ect.
I have about 15000 songs and most of them were added on the iCloud, however only around 200 still needed to be added manually on the iCloud. The issue appears right after the second step where the songs starts uploading. All of a sudden iTunes just crashes and asks me to close the program.
Just to add I am using a dell desktop PC with windows 7, and everything is up to date including latest updates of the iTunes.
What can I do to sort this issue out, so the rest of my music can be added to the iCloud without having iTunes to crash during uploads?

hi,
See this link.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4914
I have read elsewhere that some people have used match with XP successfully but they were having more and more problems with each upgrade of iTunes.
Have you tried removing the tracks that are still waiting to be matched or uploaded. There may a track that is causing the problem. Once you have removed outstanding track update imatch. If this works, gradually add the tracks back a few at a time.

How can i fix my mac book pro. My safari crashes all the time, my screen will turn black for no reason, My iPhoto crashes during upload from my iPhone, I can't highlight anything and I can't drag anything.

Someone PLEASE help me! I cant figure out what is going on with my computer. I don't install anything weird, but my brother does. He's very good at computer tech stuff and is in I.T, but I cant help but blame him for all the problems my Mac is having. Nothing works like it should. My safari will randomally crash, my screen will randomally turn back, my iphoto will crash during uploading from my iPhone, I cant highlight anything, I can't drag anything. When I want to click on something, I have to click over and over again just for it to even register. I know everything is up to date and recently reset my PRAM. I'm running Lion and have a lot of room on my hardrive. I have an external harddrive and I'm wondering if I should just move all of my important files over to it and completly wipe out my computer's hardrive and start from scratch.

Some folks can't leave well enough alone, and insist on downloading all sorts of additional "stuff" that ends up making their Mac unstable.
Standard Mac OS X on properly-operating Hardware does not crash, unless you start installing too many add-ons.
You can run "just the basics" by holding down the Shift key at Startup. This does one pass of Disk Repair, then loads a minimal set of extensions, and comes up in Safe Mode. If it works OK that way, but crashes in "regular", it's the add-ons.
There ia another layer of add-on junk that can be added to Safari. If the only remaining problem is Safari crashing, those add-ons can be disabled as well.

I have continuously over the last 6 months struggled with syncing my iphone and ipod with itunes The app continually crashes during the picture import. AND by the way it takes 10-15 minutes before it even attempts to import photos. The screen says importing photoes but doesnt try to optimize or anything for 10 minutes. I have a 3gs with 16Gb so its not a cheap phone. I have 10Gb free. I have 6600 photoes. This is very frustrating and undermines my confidence in your products. My ipod is an ipod 4 with 16Gb also. It does the exact same thing to it. The last time, I had to import photoes a few at the time and with it taking 10-15 minutes each time for 6600 photos it is a long frustrating process. But it will import every photo a few at a time. The error message is just that itunes has stopped working. no hint as to why. AND of course, my phone is out of use for the entire time. You guys must not want to believe ur phones are a necessary tool...or maybe you dont want the consumer to believe it is. I have tried to find solutions on your website as well as through other 3rd party communities. Ultimately they were of no use. I stumbled onto my solution by accident since Im a bit of a computer geek...a semi-geek.

I have this issue too, I went into my Windows event viewer. (should have looked at this a year ago when this started)

ITunes crashed during transfer purchases now says This computer has previously been synced with an iPhone or another iOS device

The problem that have started when I was going to sync my iPhone 4 with current iTunes running on 64bit Windows 7.
I started iTunes and plugged in my iPhone.
All looked good and the iPhone came up as the device as it should have.
Next I wanted to transfer purchases prior to syncing so I started the Transfer Purchases process.
iTunes stopped working during the Transfer Purchases process
Now when I plug in my iPhone iTunes takes me to the “setup your iPhone” screen and displays “This computer has previously been synced with an iPhone or another iOS device” and only allows me to restore and old backup or setup as new.
Obviously some files were not closed properly when iTunes crashed during the transfer purchases process, how can I cleanup iTunes so that it will allow me to backup and sync my phone.
I am a software developer and am sure that a fix is not in the menu options What I am saying is that I can easily remove or edit corrupt files to get it working.
Thanks, Mike

The error message you're seeing is likely the other way around -- i.e. something like "This iPhone has previously been synced with a different computer". There's no problem syncing multiple iOS devices to the same computer.
However, the reverse is not true for the iPhone -- you cannot connect an iPhone to another computer without it being erased, even if you manually manage music and video. So, it sounds like you've been syncing your iPhone to a different computer?
Also, 5.1 (not 5.0.1) is the latest iOS.

CS5 apps crash during launch in XP

Hi,
I just bought and installed CS5 Design Premium and can't get it to work, including Photoshop. Most of the apps crash. They crash during launch (splash screen) and therefore never get going. Each app seems to display different error messages. One common denominator seems to be something relating to scripting (not sure what that implies - plug-ins?). The only CS5 apps that don't crash are Bridge and Media Encoder.
Upgrading to 12.01 didn't help. I tried rebooting, uninstalling and re-installing. I ran a system scan with Windows Defender and no malicious software was detected. I run a very clean system so no unusual programs running in the background and what little I do run in the background, I exited from. I hadn't run a previous version of Photoshop (or any other program in CS5) so there were no Photoshop plug-ins to uninstall.
I do have Lightroom 3 installed (huge image database), which I have not yet uninstalled (far from trivial IMHO). Lightroom does have three plug-ins (all disabled) which are the Canon and Nikon Tether Plug-ins and a Flickr plug-in. I don't know how to uninstall these or whether it would affect CS5.
As an example, when I launch Photoshop, I get the following error:
AppName: photoshop.exe     AppVer: 12.0.1.0     ModName: scriptingsupport.8li ModVer: 10.0.0.0     Offset: 000d183a
InDesign fails as it says "updating Panels" and I get:
AppName: indesign.exe     AppVer: 7.0.0.355     ModName: support for javascript.rpln
ModVer: 7.0.0.355     Offset: 00036183
System Specs:
3.4GHz P4, 4GB PC6400, 1.5TB SATA, Nvidia GeForce 6600 PCIe, Asus P5WD2-e Motherboard, XP Pro SP2
I run Flash 10.1.53.64 and Quicktime 7.6.6, Java 6.0.2
When I launch Illustrator, it used to crash hard but now it stops while loading (Initializing Plug-ins, PDFFormat.aip) and displays a custom error dialog saying "Error loading plugins. AISaveForWeb.aip DxfDwg.aip PGNFileFormat.aip. Eventually it launches, apparently functional (haven't tested it).
Any help appreciated, thanks!

Corporate users are often very conservative, as many needs must be met before a new system can be rolled-out. The reasons for being so conservative are rooted in good business, and in many cases are quite justifiable.
I have a friend who works IT at a railroad company, and he regularly has to support Windows 2000 machines amongst the majority of their systems, which are XP. He tells me what he and a whole team of people struggle with every day. I've been there. I administered systems for entire Engineering departments myself. One of the things I ALWAYS made time for, however, was breaking in new systems and getting to know them. As a result, our people always had near state-of-the-art systems to work with. It was even a selling point when our managers interviewed someone sharp who they were trying to get to accept an offer: Our work environment was second to none.
In recent times we are starting to see why staying with an ancient operating system instead of "biting the bullet" and moving up to modern technology is proving to be more and more expensive.
Brushing aside Vista - for a while - might have been justifiable, but...
Hours and hours to make something work on XP? New roll-outs of XP systems? In 2010? Are you kidding?
All that time being wasted to get old things working could and should be spent on embracing the new, and figuring out how to make it sing on key. People have now gone before you and can authoritatively state that Windows 7 can be made to work. A darned sight better than its predecessors in many ways!
Time is money.
