CS3 Bug Issue

When working in split mode and I select something in the
design pane, it should then select that code in the code view.
However, this just isn't happening anymore. The code view never
jumps to where i need it to. This has really decreased my
productivity since I have to run a search instead to find the spot
in the code I'm looking for. Anyone else have this problem? Can
anyone recommend a solution?

I select in Design view, and the corresponding code is
selected in Code
view. I cannot reproduce your problem....

Adobe CS3 file issues update????

Has there been any news on when Apple is going to fix the CS3 file issues that have popped up?
This is disastrous for all pros out there. This just might be as bad as the great 10.2.8 debacle, if not worse.....

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Read:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1543369&tstart=0
As you see this is not exclusive to 10.5.3. The issue is that Adobe doesn't program their file save routines properly. As for asking when Apple will fix something, no one on this board knows. The terms of use specifically forbid speculation. And people who know what Apple is doing in the future are under non-disclosure agreement. We only know what is currently possible.

Wifi Bug issues

I suspected there is a software bug issues with the Wifi once you first install the Windows 10 Preview Technical Enterprise.

CS3 bug identified. Will it be fixed?

I am excited to upgrade to CS3, but I am experiencing an issue that is not present in the previous version. The program crashes when trying to render the audio previews of a nested timeline. The error looks like this:
Premiere Pro Debug Event
"[..\..\Src\AudioRender\StackAudioBuffer.cpp-58]"
This is not a problem in version 2.0. I simply cannot upgrade to CS3 until this has been fixed......Will a patch be released? I found a user forum where someone else had the same problem. This is what he wrote:
"I can continually reproduce this audio bug. Whenever I use a "constant power" audio transition on a stereo clip with a "fill left" filter applied that is at the end of one of the adjoining clips, I get an error about a audio stack problem. I can reproduce this all day and night. Simply remove the audio transition and it works until I hit the next transition that does not have any overlap on one side"
The timeline I am trying to render has many occurrences of what he is explaining, so it could certainly point to the problem.

>There is no guarantee that anyone from Adobe is here
I have seen the teams of other apps here on the Forum but never for Premiere!
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&product=7
That is the bug report page.
>So its a godo idea to document it here and have others duplicate it to confirm it is indeed a >big and not an local environment problem.
That is a good point but keep in mind that the environmental issue might be one that many users will encounter and may be determined not by the condition of the environment but by the configuration. This might not be confirmed here on the forum if the users here have a different configuration. Unless it is clearly determine that is corruption, conflict or lack of resources.
To that regard the what is your configuration? And are all your plug ins up to date?
BTW it is also possible that both users have a corruption that is identical so it can still go either way!

AI CS3 Bug List

All the problems with Adobe Illustrator CS3 are constantly frustrating me and make my job a lot more difficult. Why is CS2 is a lot better than CS3?
Maybe some one can help me to fix all these bugs that I have encountered:
1) Preview does not work.
I cannot understand why AI CS2 can display Preview before you open a document, but is impossible to do it using CS3. I think is a waste of time using a second program just to view a document file. Using Bridge is just a waste of time because display lot of information that you do not need and the view options are so limited.
2) Strokes display incorrectly.
Any stroke under .12 pt is display uneven which makes working with the pen tool frustrating.
3) Pantone Pallette Window.
This window still represents a problem even when you select Persistent option, due to the fact that when you select a PMS color, the selection jumps to the bottom of the list. So you have scroll back up to select the next PMS color.
4) Mesh Tool
The mesh tool works Ok as long as you do not re-size the artwork. If you re-size the artwork everything is distorted. In other words, your work is useless and you just wasted time. I have to use CS2 to solve the problem. That is right, you have to use the OLD version that works better than the new version.
5) Outline Stroke.
If you convert a path into outline, you end up with excessive extra anchor points. Yes, you can reduce the amount of the anchor points by using the Add to Shape Area option on Pathfinder feature. But still is not as good as CS2, and can cost delays on your work.
6) Tiff files
CS3 crashes every time you open or place a tiff file. CS2 did not have this problem.
7) Text Editing
Every time you have a text with indicator ending on the next line without text, it displays the indicator on the second to the last line. This can cost costly mistakes when you are editing text, spacing, etc.
8) Selecting text
If you editing different text sentences, you have to be careful that the programs actually takes the text that you are selecting with the text tool. Some times it takes double click for the program to understand that you are not working with the previous sentence. And sometimes you have to select the Black arrow to click on the text you want to edit and then select the text tool to make the editing. This problem is very annoying.
The main complaint is that I use these tools every day and with almost every project. So I am constantly reminded that CS2 is way better than the NEW version CS3 and there is not a word from Adobe if they are working on a patch or revised version to fix these very annoying bugs (that I have to deal with them every day). So if someone have a good solution for these bugs please let me know. Feel free to add bugs you have encountered with CS3. May be Adobe can have one good list of everything that is wrong with this very disappointed version. Thank you!

Kev. Actually the addition of shift in that key combo is what constrains the movement of the duplicated object. So, for example, when I perform the operation I may wish to drag the dupe to the right of the original. The shift keeps it at the exact same "latitude". It is a combo I have used for as long as I have been using AI.
Aside from that I am happy to report that upon quitting all apps and rebooting, the problem disappeared. This embarrasses me somewhat as what I did is a fairly basic thing to try when troubleshooting. It must have been something in the system or memory which was out of whack and righted itself upon startup. Sorry to have wasted space in this forum.
On the other hand, it was a glitch which somewhere, somehow manifested. If it happens to somebody else maybe they'll read this and it will halt the panic.
I am glad I found this little site so I can keep myself better informed as to other possible issues.

Premiere CS3 Overlay issue

My machine at work was just upgraded to Premiere CS3 and I've noticed a couple of issues (bugs?) with it. I'll list them separately to keep things nice and neat. I did a search of both the forums and knowledgebase, but was unable to find what I was looking for.
I'm having a rather annoying issue placing clips into my sequence. When I have the Sequence window selected and hit the . key (overlay) to place the clip into the sequence, nothing happens. The edit is never made. The same issue occurs when using the , key (insert). To be able to make the edit, I have to select the Source window, then both overlay and insert work just fine. Anyone else notice this, or is it just my machine?
Again, thanks in advance for any insight into this matter. :)

The insert and overlay keys work from the source monitor. Thats how its supposed to work. Thats why they put the Insert and Overlay Buttons on the source monitor. On the Program Monitor they have Lift and Extract buttons.
None of them work direct from the timeline so thats why the shortcut keys do not work when focussed on the timeline pane.

How can I tell that it is a hardware issue or ios bug issue with Iphone 4S Battery life & flapping 3G?

Hi There,
My Battery dies real quick on 4S compared to 4 eventhough my wireless is off, location services are off, the only thing on is the cellular data. I even adjusted the brightness to 60%.
Another issue is that My 3G connection keeps flapping, goes & comes in a wierd way where it falls back to Edge.
Am I to consider this part of the issues i can see so many people facing & therefore consider as ios bug & wait for the update or should I take it over to a service center to check the phone for me which means waste of time to get it done.
Kindly advise from your experience

It's almost always a software issue. Actual hardware problems are rare but can get very serious, if you recall the antenna issue last year.
Reception problems just depend on how strong the signals are at your location. But if you're dropping to Edge even in strong areas, it wouldn't hurt to have an apple store look at it.

CS3 Performance Issues - Productivity Crippled - S.O.S.

I was having performance issues and repeated crashes with AE CS3 on Win XP, so I talked my boss into upgrading me to CS5 and Win 7. All was well until we hired a new guy to help me with my video work load. He has inherited my old software and there's no money for another upgrade, so we're going to have to figure this out.
He running CS3 Master Collection on a Dell PC running Windows XP (Intel Core II Duo 2.33Ghz, 3.25GB RAM). The graphics card is the ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro, which came stock with the machine. Specs on that card here: http://reviews.cnet.com/graphics-cards/ati-radeon-hd-2400/4507-8902_7-32763888.html?tag=sp ecs. Pretty wimpy, I know.
Anyway, my new coworker has been experiencing at least as much frustration as I was, with frequent crashes, a fickle RAM Preview and bad renders. His machine has more RAM and a faster processor than I had when I ran CS3, but his performance seems even worse Since CS3 won't handle AVCHD files, I've been converting our HD camera footage into 720p MPG 2 (Adobe Media Encoder) for projects he's assigned. I suppose that could have something to do with it, but I can't see why CS3 wouldn't run an MPG generated from CS5. Anyway, I asked him to write up a short list of the problems he's experiencing and he gave me this ...
- rendered movies are often corrupted with red frames that flash in spots
- when i try to render an MPEG2 at full res it will give me an error message that says:
After Effects: AEGP Plugin Media IO Plugin:
There is a mismatch between Output Module settings and Transcode Settings. Please verify your settings and try again.
Property Data Invalid!
MediaIO2 error: 0x400e0004
Frame dimensions out of bounds
(5027 :: 12)
- when i try to render a RAM preview, often it does not render the complete work area. it takes several attempts to preview the entire selection
- occasionally, when i bring in new media it gives a message saying 'media pending' and i will have to shut the program down and re-import the media
- it will often (1-3 times per hour) crash unexpectedly and give a message saying 'After Effects has crashed'
- when i try to render a RAM preview an error message pops up saying it needs at least 2 frames to render when i clearly have more than that selected
It's my hope that someone here will recognize a common thread between these various issues and be able to suggest a silver bullet that will fix it all. I realize that's not likely. Research to date has yielded glimpses of possible solutions involving cache and scratch discs, but there are few specifics and I'm not sure exactly what adjustments to make. I also have a spare Nvidia GForce 6800 graphics card form my own computer at home that I could donate to this office if it would help.
I'm about to pass these issues on to our Help Desk and let them deal with it, but I'd love to be able to at least point them in the right direction, since they mostly deal with standard office software and won't have much experience troubleshooting multimedia applications. I believe they also have the option to call Adobe for tech support over the phone, but I'd like them to have a clue if they do. Can anyone suggest what settings, drivers or hardware might be a good place to start to get my man's system running a little more smoothly? I'd really appreciate some insight before we start poking around blindly and I offer my thanks in advance for any forthcoming wisdom.
Thanks!
P.S. For what it's worth, my copy of CS5 is running like a champ on Windows 7 with the 64 bit OS. My machine has an ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT for a card, which can't be much better than the "Pro" version in my coworkwers machine, right?

No legal issues, both my CS5 and his CS3 are bought and paid for. However, if After Effects CS3 is incapable of rendering a decent looking file compressed to a reasonable file size, then I'm not sure how valuable it is to us anyway. It seems unbelievable to me that one of the most popular industry standard video aps isn't designed to render anything more than draft quality files for client review. Even if he renders an uncompressed file from AE, CS3 didn't ship with Adobe Media Encoder as a separate ap, so what can he do with it without resorting to third party software? I don't get it, but I'm clearly no expert on the subject.
So, things being what they are, what file format would you suggest I convert the AVCHD file to in order for my CS3 burdened coworkwer to be able to work with them? We are a Windows shop, so I don't know if Dave's Quicktime/PNG suggestion will work for us or not. You've always given good advice to me in the past, so if you have an alternate suggestion I'm eager to try it out. Just go easy on me with the jargon because I'm primarily a print designer and my video skills at this point are (obviously) intermediate at best!
In any case, I really appreciate both you and Dave taking the time to respond to my post. This forum continues to be the best resource I have for solving problems and augmenting my understanding of these programs. My thanks!

Adobe Photoshop CS & CS3 upgrade issues

I have recently obtained an original disc of adobe photoshop CS and an original disc of adobe photoshop CS3 upgrade to install on my Imac which is running lion at the moment, only to be told that power pc programmes are no longer recognised. I was intending to install the original Photoshop CS and then upgrade it to CS3, however due to this issue i cant install the original disc.
I have read that if i revert back to snow leopard then i would be able to install these programms without issue, but the question is then if i then update the OS system to lion, would the updated version of photoshop CS3 still work, being on the back of CS? or would it stop working?
If this updated programme does not work, am i better having a partitioned disc just to run snow leopard and to use photoshop, and if this is the case would i be able to access all saved images and files when running the lion side of the partition in order to sync these with i cloud and my ipad?
regards

The bootable Snow Leopard partition is the way I would do it.
Borrowed from Kappy,
Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
7. After formatting is complete quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard being sure to select the external drive as the target.
Note that you will need a Snow Leopard DVD. The above will only work for you if you can boot your computer from a Snow Leopard DVD. If you have a new model that came with Lion pre-installed then the above will not work because a Snow Leopard retail DVD cannot boot your model.
Then install your CS and CS3 and run them in SL. If the images are stored in a seperate drive/partition then it should work seamlessly.

InDesign CS3 bug for "Edit Original"

Hi,
I have laid out an InDesign document with lots of photos (JPG), with each frame showing the photo at a certain 'crop level' (or % scale relative to the original photo). Let's say I have a frame in which the photo is scaled at 20%. If I try to edit this ('Edit Original') in Photoshop to enhance it, after making changes and saving & closing it, I return back to InDesign. I find this photo to be entirely different scale (the one chosen by InDesign is totally random, and certainly not the original one (so in the example above it will be not 20%, it could be 38%, 48% or whatever, but not the one I had before I started editing the photo).
This is very annoying as I have to remember how the photo was set up in the frame, and fix it after finishing the editing step.
Does any one know if this is a known bug and what is the work around to this problem?
The whole reason for me to use InDesign was to be able to layout my pages perfectly and then edit only those photos that were selected. This bug is making my life miserable :-(
Thx for any help/Regards,
Sandeep

Hi,
I think the "mystery" is solved. The problem occurs ONLY on the portrait photos, and because of the peculiarity of various SW programs (even though they are all from Adobe). I can now recreate the scenario at will, even for a smaller test document with 1 image.
This is what I have discovered so far. InDesign does have the dimensions from the original photo (that's why it will keep the correct settings regardless of how many times you make changes to the ID document or move/resize the rectangle 'linking' to the picture). The problem comes from the fact that photoshop changes some of the EXIF tags "logically".
EXIF tags (I am showing only the relevant ones) for the original photo are the same as the one 'exported' from Photoshop Elements 6.0. They are as follows:
Orientation : Rotate 90 CW
XResolution : 72
YResolution : 72
ResolutionUnit : inches
ExifImageWidth : 3888
ExifImageHeight : 2592
Software : Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0
Note that my actual photo is in the 'portrait' mode, so width should be 2592 (smaller) and height should be 3888 (larger) - but the orientation of "Rotate 90 CW" is read and honored by InDesign, so I did not need to 'manually' rotate it when placing the file. Now I set the scale to 10% because my rectangle was small. When exporting the photo from my album, the Software tag was attached by PE6.0 as you can see above. In my original camera based file, this tag was missing, but otherwise everything is was same.
AFTER I edited the photo in Photoshop to change its shadows/highlights, levels, etc. when I saved the photo, EXIF tags became:
Orientation : Horizontal (normal)
XResolution : 72
YResolution : 72
ResolutionUnit : inches
ExifImageWidth : 2592
ExifImageHeight : 3888
Software : Adobe Photoshop CS3 Windows
So, you can see that Photoshop changed the orientation to "normal" and also adjusted the Width and Height to support that orientation (I did not notice that quickly enough:-().
What is strange is that, instead of maintaining my scale at 10%, after 'updating the modified link', InDesign changes the scale to 15% (if you do the math, the original horizontal dimension of 3888 is exactly 1.5 times the new dimension of 2592!) so it must keep the link information in some other way that it recomputes to be 15%. BTW, the X & Y values of the placed image were also multiplied by 1.5. That's how I was seeing the changed scales, as well as X, Y values after updates. The net orientation of the photo is not affected (at least for the photos from this camera), but it could as well.
I am much happier that at least I understand the problem! This of course supports all of you who were recommending to 'prep' the files before you start. I'd also add that don't just prep them with any batch tool, but do it with the tool that you are going to use to edit. BECAUSE...
This problem can occur any time I mix and match my editing software. I am going to check the behavior of LightRoom (since I have just got it, I am not as comfortable to work with it as Photoshop - and of course the styles of these 2 products are very different). I have never used the Camera Raw 4.5 (or 5 that comes with PS CS4), but will have to be careful about that too.
Regards,

Indesign CS3- plugin issue

I'm having a problem with Indesign, within Adobe Master Collection CS3 in that when it's started up it comes up with an error message stating that the application or DLL "Sangamexport.apln" is not a valid windows image, and says to please check the installation diskette. This also causes Indesign to crash when right-clicking on a line or anything else drawn.
This issue cropped up after updating to the latest version, as version 5.0.3 works just fine, however version 5.0.4 does not.
While disabling the plugin does resolve the issue, being a site licence (I work for a school with several hundred PCs on a network with the application installed locally), and every PC that has the latest updates has this exact issue, repeating this on each individual machine is impractical to say the least. Has anyone else experienced this issue?
The PCs are runnning Windows XP, service Pack 3

Jitendra:
   While not specifically addressing this problem, I have obtained the UID (and then derived the UIDRef) of an image by getting the hierarchy interface of the container and then getting the child. This is a snippet of the code:
    UIDRef ItemRef = UIDRef(db, ItemUID); // ItemUID & db (IDataBase *) passed into function; db
    InterfacePtr<IHierarchy> iHierarchy(ItemRef, UseDefaultIID());
       if (iHierarchy != nil)
          if(iHierarchy -> GetChildCount() > 0)
             UID imageuid = iHierarchy -> GetChildUID(0);
HTH.

CS3 FTP Issues in XPSP2

Recently upgraded to DW CS3 on both my laptop and desktop,
both of which were running DW MX2004. Both machines are XP SP2. I
have an issue (across all of the hosting firms I use, 1&1,
Omnis, etc) where my FTP puts will timeout excessively. I have to
click the X in the Background File Activity window to cancel...then
disconnect from the Files pane...then cancel that operation as
well. I wait 20 seconds, reconnect, and then I can put -- after it
tells me about a Synchronization issue where I have to click Yes to
put. This happens 60% of the time on the desktop, but only 3-5% of
the time on the laptop.
Also, when I have to cancel the Put, my web server will only
show a blank page until I can successfully complete a Put. This
includes pages that have been successfully loaded previously...they
"disappear." I've been waiting to see a Dreamweaver update come
through Adobe Updater.........

Do you have passive FTP enabled?

Odd DW CS3 Template issue

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if I could get some help on an odd issue I've
been experiencing with DW CS3. I have been tasked with adding
content to two templates we use (which include a vertical nav bar,
footer and header). After I've made my changes, I would save the
work and then be prompted to Update Pages. During this process, I
don't receive any errors (the only message I get is something like
"Dreamweaver needs to check out this file in order to update").
After all is said and done, I take a look at a few of the
(checked out) pages and I can see the template changes have been
made to them. However, when I check the file back in and take a
look at it online, the changes are not there. Incidentally, I saw
the page here by Murray featuring 7 points that may cause this
issue, but to the best of my knowledge, I have not committed any of
them.
Here's where things get weird: When I go back into DW and
check out the file (to see what went wrong), the web page (which
showed the template change not moments before) goes back to its
original, unmodified state. I've found a way to get around this by
using the "Modify > Templates > Apply Template To Pages..."
process, but with so many web pages, this seems counter-productive.
And this is the third time this issue has occurred for me.
Considering that, I wonder if I'm missing a step. Do I need to
check in the .dwt file after I've made the change but before I
update?
Insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all for your
time and patience.

> the only message I get
> is something like "Dreamweaver needs to check out this

> update"
Uh oh.
Using Templates in a site with checkin/checkout is a very
troublesome thing.
It's a tedious process, but you must be
systematic -
* have the client up-synch all files
* down-synch your local site
* make template changes and let them propagate
* up-synch
* notify client that it's safe to work on the site again
Wish it were easier myself....
(I assume you are working with Contribute or with other
developers, right?)

DW CS3 bug

<gripe>I first tried to post the message below via this
NG but was
bounced back first because the attached PHP file was over
10k, then
again after I zipped it because binaries aren't permitted. I
then tried
posting it via the DW web forum, including the PHP code, but
when but
when I hit submit I got a 404 - D'OH!! This happened twice,
after which
I gave up and came back here. I've now spent over 30 minutes
trying to
post this report, and really wish I hadn't bothered. Pull
your corporate
fingers out, Adobe ;-\ </gripe>
For info, my copy of Dreamweaver CS3 crashes regularly when I
open the
attached PHP script [couldn't attach due to size - will email
on
request] in Design View and try to select either of the
forms. Even if I
try to edit the <form> tag in Code View DW crashes.
Hell, DW crashes if
I just click the insertion point in any part of the document.
The
cursor goes to an hourglass, hangs for 10 secs, then the
application
bombs out. This is consistently replicable. This didn't used
to happen
in the previous DW version as I created this script in that.
It doesn't
occur on some other form-containing PHP scripts I've tried.
I'm running
DW CS3 v9 build 3481 under Windows eXtra Pathetic with all
SPs
installed.
And yes, I have restarted the machine. Twice. No, I'm not
going to
reinstall DW. I expect that the script is too long for DW,
and that
there's been a memory overflow. I dare say that I could move
the
functions into a library, but I like to write my scripts on
the basis of
application need, not to fit in with editor limitations.
No big - I'll use a proper script editor like Notepad++ to
edit the
file. Luckily my copy of DW was bought under an educational
discount -
had we paid full whack for it then I'd really be complaining.
Version 9
of a mature application should not crash like that.
Cheers
Fred

Thanks for the tip. Yes, it does sound like that bug, and
deleting the
offending .dat file seems to have worked. However, I'm still
narked that
such a mature product - CS3 is DW v9 - has such a stupid,
basic bug in
it. Still, as I've not paid full whack for it I'll not
complain to
Adobe, but I'd be livid if I'd shelled out over £300 of
my own hard-
earned cash for this product. If not for the site management
features
I'd not bother with DW and use Notepad++ or similar, but I
unfortunately
find that feature such as automatic fixing of links when I
move
files/folders is essential. Perhaps I ought to look at Nvu a
bit
closer...
I'll stash your message away for reference, particularly for
the bug
report URL. Thanks again, and sorry for being such a grump :(
Cheers
Fred
