CS3 Bugs and Crashes

I have been using Contribute since 2003, upgrading as each
new version has come out. I recently downloaded CS3 (Contribute
4.1) because Contibute 3 does not work well with PHP. Although CS3
certainly does a better job of displaying PHP pages, it repeatedly
crashes when linking to files suchs as PDF and HTML files. I am so
frustrated with the product! We recommend Contribute to our clients
and now I am at a loss as to what to do.
Is Adobe aware that the product is unstable? I can definitely
repeat crashing the product!!

It is working fine for me. Can you please send the site
details to [email protected]
• Your website URL
• The connection type used to connect to webserver
(LAN/FTP/SFTP/WebDAV)
• The user id and password used to connect to
webserver.
so it will be useful to nail down the issue.

InDesign CS3 spins and crashes

I can't work for two minutes in InDesign now without it going into Lollipop Land and then crashing. Do I just need to trash my prefs or something?

See if ID works in a new user.

All kinds of bugs and crashes

iPhone 6 Plus 128 with the latest updates.
Apps randomly go unresponsive. No touch, no rotate, apps constantly refresh after being pulled back up (safari loads the web page every time). Even as I type this the keyboard is slow at times (autocorrect is just throwing out random nonsense as well). Can't pinpoint an app as it seems to happen to every single one before eventually crashing or rebooting the entire phone.
I know I'm not alone. If someone has a solution it'd be great to here. Gonna try yet another restore in the mean time.
So disappointed with Apple on iOS 8. Clearly not the quality I've become accustomed to as an iPhone user.

Make sure you have at least 15% of your storage as free space. Reset the iPhone. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
If that didn't solve the problem, I suggest restoring your phone to factory settings and do not restore a backup. If the phone works correctly after the restore but before to replace data with a backup you can be sure that the problem lies in something that is in your backup.
If after the restore to factory settings the phone still does not work properly make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Issues, bugs and crashes with Email on C5-00 5MP

Hello,
I recently bought a C5-00 5MP and all is fine except some annoyances mostly in the email app.
Sometimes it crashes when exiting the email app leaving the phone useless and I have to hard reset the phone (battery out or hold down power off), this happens quite often and is extremely annoying.
Secondly when replying to an email I have T9 text on. I have disabled the 'predictive' text as it causes more grief than it's worth. If the T9 picks the wrong word I cycle through the options with * and select the one I want by hitting 0 as I want to add a space afterwards. However on hitting zero rather than adding a space it goes to a new line! This utterly infuriating!
Finally, I downloaded the excellent Nokia Evolve theme as a free gift, but unfortunate as lovely as it looks and presumably may cut down battery usage being a lot of black, the background of the email app remains white and the text of the emails in the inbox is white but the background also remains white! Impossible to see the email subjects unless you move the cursor over the email title. i tried turning off and on again but to no avail.
The email editing issue is particularly annoying and the more I use it the more it makes me wish I had gone for the Nokia E5...
Please help?

Hi!
Have the same problem. Do you already have a solution?

I got bugs and crashes

Downloaded PSE and Premiere 12 from the Adobe store a while back. Win 7, 64 bit. Love Elements, actually upgraded from 11, no probs there. But Premiere continously stops working in the mid of projects and I lose tons of work. Other bugs too.. in the Guided section, the tutorials dont play all the way through, only one or two steps, then stop.. If I add an effect to a clip it often flickers and fades in and out.. Animations in text doesnt work well, often cannot be applied.. Transitions often cannot be added in between clips for some reason.
I'm not a computer person so it was a pain for me to reinstall it, and that didn't fix anything. Last time it suddenly stopped working I'd had enough, decided to try and get a refund because I'm not getting what I paid for, and switch to something different altogether.
Just before I do, wanted to throw a hail mary in here to see if anyone had any ideas of how I could get this thing to work like its suppose to.
Because I am fruss-tra-ted!!!

Could be lots of answers for
Premiere continously stops working in the mid of projects and I lose tons of work
Would need to work through project settings, properties of source media, and what is going on in the project when it continuously stops working...effects, transitions, moving clips around, etc. Computer description and resources need to be looked at.
in the Guided section, the tutorials dont play all the way through, only one or two steps, then stop..
What specific Guided tutorials are involved in this? Are you in Quick Guided or Expert Guided? What are you adding to the workflows....same as you would be using if you were in either just Expert or Quick?
If I add an effect to a clip it often flickers and fades in and out
What effects..color correction, other? What kind of clips?
Animations in text doesnt work well, often cannot be applied..
What Animations and how are you applying them. Are you getting stopped adding animation to more than one line text?
Transitions often cannot be added in between clips for some reason.
Some reason could be the video clips need "trimming" related to creating handles for the transition to work.
Were you OK with doing all this in Premiere Elements 11 on the same computer? If so, this is what I would consider...
a. Is Premiere Elements 11 still installed on this computer with Premiere Elements 12?
b. If so, then, with Premiere Elements 12 still installed and closed, run through these techniques on 11 to verify that all is well there.
c. If Premiere Elements 11 is not on the same computer at this time, then install it for the comparison between its performance and that of 12.
d. If 12 fails the test and you are within 30 days of purchase, try to get your money back from whomever sold you 12.
e. Go back to using Premiere Elements 11.
Please review and then you need to decide what works for you.
We can go through each of the problem focus points, but we will need to repeat "patience is a virtue".

Strange bug and crash on macbook pro retina

Goodmorning to everyone,
today i opened my mac, started writing some script, went away for a couple of minutes and here we go. The touchpad and the keyboard still were working, and i could type and move things. Before shut it down i tryed to close and open it, or closing application etc.. but it only got worst. Then i shut it down, and now it seems to work fine, but what was that?

Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
If the new library doesn't work properly try this:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
In either case your current library will be untouched for further testing if necessary.

Dreamweaver cs3 international edition crashes while "Find and Replace"

Mr David Powers thank you for your quick,
sorry to say but
the link did not work for me.
i am so ashamed to use a program that crashes while doing a simple "search and replace" action! which i had paid more than 900$.
and also it is so interesting that adobe has released new version CS4 instead of updating the buggy CS3. so the ppl who bought CS3 are dumped!
here i attach the crash error dump file that Dreamweaver creates in its configuration directory.
http://rapidshare.com/files/230314270/Dreamweaver_crash_log.mdmp
i hope it helps to diagnose and SEARCH and REPLACE the BUG.

Need to re-download CS3 after mac crash. It was in My Downloads last week, and now it's gone.

I logged in to Adobe earlier this month and was about to re-download the CS3 Web Premium onto my new hard drive, but I didn't have the time (8 hours it said it would take). I re-logged in today and now it isn't showing the downloads. I can no longer click on the order #, but was able to last week. Did they remove them in the last week?!? Is it because I hadn't logged in to Adobe in awhile, and by re-logging in last week, it noticed and deleted them? Please help. This is for a small school and we can't afford to buy a new product. The CS3 worked fine until my computer crashed. Thanks.

There are a number of threads about this issue on the forum if you want to do a search. Basically, you need to uninstall the latest update to Android System Webview:

Try to do a hard reboot (no data is lost) by holding down the home and power buttons at the same time untilyou see the Apple logo. Then, let go of both buttons. If that doesn't work, try restoring your iPod and do NOT restore from a backup. This will erase your data, but you can sync back everything except app data and settings from iTunes.

IOS8 Slow Performance, Keyboard Bugs and App Crashes on iPhone 5

Since updating my iPhone 5 to iOS8, performance has slowed considerably: Apps take longer to launch and interface animation stutters.
When turning the phone on and off, the screen goes black - I have to keep pressing the on/off sleep/wake switch to get the screen to illuminate.
Typing this in landscape on my iPhone 5 (using the standard keyboard - I've not tried installing any third party keyboards yet) is taking ages: There are now only two lines of text visible due to the word-suggestion feature. I've just noticed as I type this that the text display isn't automatically scrolling, so unless I manually scroll down the window, I can't see what I'm typing!
Positioning the magnifying glass is challenging - its position is not following my finger! The behaviour of the backspace is also unpredictable . . . and I am now typing this on my Mac because Safari crashed mid-sentene ! (Thank goodness this site auto-saves - I didn't have to start again when I logged into my Mac!)
I like all the new iOS8 features (although the key feature for me - the health app - is not linking to any fitness apps yet due to an Apple-acknowledged bug). But the performance hit, bugs and app crashing created by the iOS8 upgrade means I now want to return to iOS7.
I'm surprised at these issues because, unlike previous iOS releases, IOS 8 was in public beta for a few months, as well as being with developers since WWDC.
If Apple are going to move iOS deeper into the enterprise (with IBM for example) its needs to prioritise stability - even if it means moving from an annual upgrade cycle. Apple hasn't managed this with Mac OS - the last three Mac OS updates have not been usable in an enterprise/Pro App environment until around 9 months after their release.

ios8 for my iphone 5 = crashes, hot phone, restarts, dropped calls, funny looking fuzzy 'senior picture screen' with frost on the perimeter..... Just opening 'message' for texts takes 3-4 seconds to load, where previously, it was milliseconds latency speeds. I think they pressed this OS beyond the reasonable functional limit of the hardware (phones), especially with the older phones and/or phones with less memory.
It's like an athlete on steroids, the bones can't handle the force of the muscles and something is gonna BREAK!
When did we ever come to think that $400 phones would become 2-4 year disposable items and revere at the glory of it all! And whether we realize it or not, it's being shoved down our throats.
Just fix the OS please so my phone can work for me as it has in the past.
For the $$ being paid out, we shouldn't have to reset, restart, restore......

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 :(

I am steaming - Thru CS3 - CS4 and now CS5 Fireworks is crap

All through CS3, CS4 and now CS5 Fireworks on 3 different machines Windows XP, Windows Vista and now Windows 7... simply is a crappily written app. And I have been using Fireworks since Macromedia and these problems have only appeared from Adobe.
Is it to drive folks to Photoshop? After working on it for about 30 min you get 'low on memory' 'internal error'... it is unconscionable that an application that is so expensive can be written so appallingly. And when you run through the forums you just get tons of complaints about the shoddy code at Adobe.
All of the computers are stacked with 4GB, this one has 16GB on a blazingly fast Phenom Black but that's not the killer... no other app crashes. Not the little $5 dollar apps, not anything. It is so frustrating. Can't someone buy this place and straighten it out!!! Macromedia was known for ridiculously great code and features.
Had anyone solved this problem... I here if you login in as Donald Duck it might go away. What kind of nonsense is that?
Help!

xgarth
don't get so steamy. I am on your side and I actually met Adobe marketing VP in Australia and told him that his CS ****, mmm I mean suite is worthless on a Mac at least. He couldn't care less. They don't fix things they market "upgrades" so idiots like you and me will keep on spending. I for instance use Adobe and Macromedia products since mid 90s' and I must say that nothing has changed for me since FW3 or 4 and Photosop 5.5. Illustrator should always stayed simple but they managed to make it so fat it barely moves. Flash also became something it wasn't intended for and it's days are numbered by HTML5. Adobe Acrobat? you must be kidding. I still don't know what the F this is all about. and so on and so on....
You will grow out of it eventually like I did. It doesn't worth it. Believe me. Just "upgrade" if you must have some feature. I think DW and Flash are the only products that need to be upgraded because of the industry it's linked to (web). the rest are just tools that still do what they did 10 years ago. they are only "integrated" now.
There are other tools you can use, not many but there are or simply don't upgrade!!! this is the best way for you and I to tell Adobe what we think.

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 (XP SP2) crashes when placing files

Hi,
every time I try to place an image file etc. into InDesign CS3 (Windows XP, service pack 2) the "place" dialogue pops up for a split second. Then, InDesign freezes. Version Cue is not activated (when I was activated Photoshop CS3 would do the same).
I'd be more than happy if someone has a hint since naturally InDesign is pretty useless when you cannot place anything. On a sidenote though you can drag files from the explorer into CS3 without it crashing.
Any help's greatly appreciated.

Sorry to hear the trick didn't work. Another oft mentioned idea is to open a dialog in Photoshop and resize it. A third is to hit Alt + Spacebar, then M, and then an arrow key, and finally to move the mouse around and see if the dialog appears at the edge of the screen.
The 3-key keyboard shortcut only works when you are opening InDesign from the start menu or a desktop shortcut, and you have to be REALLY fast. Renaming the prefs files (while ID is closed) is more reliable, but won't give you any indication that the files are being replaced, other than you'll see the welcome screen and everything will be reset to defaults.
