CS5/CS4 Website is being administered . . .

I took the test drive with CS5, decided to lose it and continue using CS4 and now it will not allow me to administer the site. I tried uninstalling both programs and running the creative suite cleaner to no avail. Once I reinstalled CS4 I got the same error message. Any ideas?

Once you had Administer in the latest version, you can't Administer in older version of Contribute. Please refer to the blog post, http://blogs.adobe.com/contribute/2009/09/compatibilty_transition_mode.html.
If you like to continue with older version of Contribute, then you have to remove the Administration using the CS5 and reconnect to the site using CS4 and enable Administration.
Note:- All the Adminitration settings, role settings and roles will be lost.

  • "This website is being administered with a newer version of Contribute"

    I've got a client who is trying to access his site with his
    ISP. He has the correct information in his "site" information
    within DW and he *does* connect to the site remotely. He can see
    the files but if he tries to upload anything such as an image or an
    Access database, he gets errors such as:
    "This website is being administered with a newer version of
    Contribute"
    -or-
    "Unable to create remote folder /foldername. Dreamweaver
    could not connect to the server."
    -or-
    "An FTP error occurred - cannot get remote folder
    information"
    The thing is, he was able to update his site with no problems
    one week ago and now he's getting this issue. Can anyone offer any
    advice on things to check or tweak in order to get around this?
    Thanks.

    If you have FTP credentials to access your server, then you can FTP to your server and delete the cthub***.csi file under _mm folder. (Better to take backup before deleting).
    Note:- This will remove all you adminitrative settings and roles. Your site will be link a unadminitered site.

  • His website is being administered with a newer version of Contribute problem...

    hello...
    i was considering an upgrade to adobe master suite, so i downloaded a trial verison on my mac laptop. since then, the trial has expired, and i have purchased a new laptop as the old one was on it's way out.
    on my new laptop i re-loaded and re-activated my contribute CS3 which i purchased a few years ago, but as i had accessed my website using the CS5, i can no longer connect to it on CS3...and as the trial version of CS5 has expired, i can't go in and switch it to "transition" mode...
    what can i do to access my website with CS3? kinda desperate to make some updates!
    thank you!

  • Want to allow designated clients to upload pdf files to a designated page on my cs4 website

    want to allow designated clients to upload pdf files to a designated page on my cs4 website. want those files to be live on that page when their upload is complete. this is so I dont have to receive their file and upload it myself.
    appreaciate the help.

    Everything you have described can be done using PHP (assuming your website is on an apache server). There are three separate "sub-projects" to your overall project:
    1. Log-in system. Secrity is an issue here. There are several ways to accomplish this.
    2. File upload routine.
    3. Display of directory contents in a dynamic webpage.
    Fortunately, each of these tasks is explained in the book PHP Solutions, by David Powers. It even presents several different methods for handling the log-in password routine and security. Since your project doesn't require a database, you will want to choose a password storage method that doesn't require one.
    The way I would handle this is to create a directory for each client. Maybe the directory name will be the client's ID, like 27, 28, etc. Then the upload routine will use a varible based on the client id, so it will put the right client's files in the right directory.
    Overall, this is not a very difficult project, especially if you get the Power's book and read through the appropriate chapters.

    Dee....
    It's not a virus.
    Your ISP (Internet Service Provider) is redirecting your browser. Use Open DNS to avoid that. Open DNS adds security and anti phishing filters and it's free.
    Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
    Click +
    Enter these numbers exactly as you see them here.
    208.67.222.222
    Click +
    208.67.220.220
    Then click OK.

  • Block Websites from being accessed

    Is there a way to block websites from being accessed on the network through AEBS?

    Are you acquanted with using the Terminal?
    Not too many are, so, some solutions:
    If you make the specific user a username on the computer, you can block websites in the Parental Controls section in the Accounts preference pane.
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/family/
    Also, hosts can be blocked on a one-by-one basis by adding them to the /etc/hosts file, with an IP address of 0.0.0.0. If you're not familiar with the terminal then I don't recommend this route

  • Installed CS5, now I can't administer a site using CS4

    I installed CS5 recently. My client still has CS4. She recently changed her ftp pass codes. I updated the connection with Contribute using CS5, but she can not access the site and gets an error message "This site is now being managed by a newer version of Contribute". I cleared the preferences in CS5 and am trying to re-establish the connection for her using CS4...but everytime I do I get half way through the set up process and get an error message saying that the site is already being managed by a newer version of Contribute (even though I have cleared the CS5 preferences in the Library and that site doesn't exist anymore on CS5 version).
    How can I still use the older software for my client who doesn't have CS5? Thanks. Melissa

    1) If the site is adminitered by newer version of Contribute then you can't administer the site using lower version of Contribute.
    2) In the Compatibility is chosen as Transition Mode then the users in lower version can connect, if the mode chosen is Compatibility then they can't connect.
    Please refer to the blog http://blogs.adobe.com/contribute/2009/09/compatibilty_transition_mode.html for more information.
    Hope this help you.

  • How to Make Dreamweaver CS4/Flash CS4 Website Function on all Latest Mobile Devices

    Hello!
    I am trying to add code into my Dreamweaver CS4 file and/or Flash CS4 file in order to have the website I have created work across all of the latest mobile devices as well as traditional online systems. My flash file has a transparent stage, and my dreamweaver file has a full-screen background image. I have reviewed various tutorials and articles available online, and some advocate simply adding code, which does not seem to be working for me, while others suggest having a similar separate site created solely for mobile devices. If this is the best option, I don't know how that should be set up. What is the best path to take with this?

    I have tried various combinations of the code listed above, but nothing seems to be working. I am not sure as to the positioning of the code, and maybe that is the problem, or maybe it is because this code in not for CS4, or not appropriate for my project. I also do not know what code should be inside the Flash file, nor what should should be inside the Dreamweaver file.
    Thank you in advance for any assistance!

    Hi
    To add to what Gramps has said, Adobe has ceased developing its flash player for ALL mobile devices so do not use Flash for any mobile device.
    Depending on the complexity of your Flash program you may be able to recreate it using Edge, but the code generated by Edge does not work in IE8 or below.
    For details on Edge, see - http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/edge/

    There is no simple code to add that will display the same on all mobile devices....
    you do know that the iProducts (iPhone, iPad, etc) don't display Flash at all, right?
    So as a start for "functioning on all latest mobile devices" you should drop any Flash content you have and move on.

  • Upgraded to CS5, CS4 apps still in place. OK to remove? Best practice?

    No problem to report just a minor dilema.
    Upgrade to CS5 is completed and all the previous CS4 application folders are still in place and functional.
    What is the best practice regarding the previous version?
    Leave them be.
    Move to trash.
    Uninstall (when provided).
    Thanks for your help.

    One follow-up question. What about the earlier Acrobat component? Backward compatibility isn't problematic in the case of Acrobat correct?
    Thanks for your time.

  • Is it possible to Embed Youtube Widescreen windows full options on Flash CS5 AS2 Website?

    Good Day
    Does anyone know How to Embed a Youtube widescreen Video window on a Flash Website, i'm using Flash CS5 and ActionScript 2???!!
    I've seen several video tutorials on youtube and other websites about this, but they only work with a window of 480px for 385px (4:3),
    which doesn't allow the fullscreen option on the lower bar of the video, because the player still had a silver bar not a black one !!!!
    This is the one i've been using!!!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfU5Hj3uKZ4
    I would like to use a widescreen window (16:9; 16:10), like the ones youtube curently uses, 360p; 480p;720p, like in this case:

    I would very much appreciate any help you can give me!!!
    Thank you

    There are two options here that I can think of..
    1.  Preinstall AIR on their machines, and use AIR files.  That will work IF AIR is already installed.     Flash projectors have no ability to control the file system in this way, but AIR does.
    2. Use a Director projector.   There are Director Xtras that can control the file system, and you can embed a SWF in Director.  So you wouldn't have to recreate the SWF content, you'd only need to have Director and learn some basics about using SWF and making projectors.
    That's all I can think of.

  • How do I block a website for the Administer?

    I am the Administer of the computer and a annoying website keeps poping up. I would like to know how to block it.

    That's not much to go on. It's not clear whether you've installed some kind of adware or just need an ad blocker such as "Glimmerblocker."

  • CS5/CS4 GUI User Interface Design

    I have always been very unimpressed with the user interface design on Adobe CS4.  It's riddled with problems and changes that make no sense and offer no advantages.
    For example, there is no longer a normal Windows title bar in many of the CS4 apps.  This makes it much more difficult to maximize/restore applications since normally a Windows user could simply throw the mouse to the top edge of the screen and double click the title bar.  In fact, doing this with CS4 apps has ZERO function (it doesn't do anything).  One would think that by moving the menu commands to the top bar of the window chrome, Adobe would make these menus accessible from the top-most edge of the screen in order to increase usability.  Unfortunately this is not so and clicking the top most edge of a maximized window does nothing.
    Two other very important parts of an application user interface are the upper left and upper right corners.  Normally when a Windows application is maximized, throwing your pointer to the upper right corner and clicking will close the application.  Throwing the pointer to the upper left corner and clicking will reveal the application window menu.  This happens in ALL applications... EXCEPT for Adobe CS4 programs.  These two extremely important application window command locations have been completely disabled in Adobe CS4 apps. Clicking the upper most corner pixels in a maximized Adobe CS4 app does nothing.
    Then there's the tabbed document window interface.  If you float a document window and maximize that, normally you would expect it to become maximized within the application window as it should.  Au contraire, in Adobe CS4, the document window maximizes itself ON TOP OF the application window, thus obscuring and disabling any access to the application window's tools/commands.  I did report that as a bug during beta, but obviously it was ignored.  Seems kind of obvious to me that the fact that a user could accidentally make the entire application completely unusable by maximizing a document window might be a problem.
    It still alludes me as to why Adobe changed the CS4 user interface to something that breaks so many Windows UI conventions.  Adobe CS3 was a practically perfect user interface design on Windows.  It was very customizable, all of the normal Windows functions were properly in place.
    What's the deal with the change?
    I thought maybe the file menu was moved in place of the title bar in order to make more room for other UI elements, but it's actually pretty much the same size as the old file menu title bar combination in CS3.
    With all these changes and with all the functionality losses, what exactly have we gained in the CS4 GUI?  Seriously, I'm asking.
    Anyway, I hope Adobe starts reading the Windows User Experience Guidelines (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa511331.aspx) and brings CS5 back to the way a Windows application should behave.  Proper theme adherence would be nice too.
    Which brings me to Windows 7.  I love love love the way Windows 7 groups application document previews in one taskbar icon and allows aero-peek for open windows.  Adobe CS 4 obviously does not support this since it does not have normal document windows.  I hope CS5 does because it is a great feature.  I also hope Adobe CS5 implements the Windows 7 jumplists and maybe even a more touch/multi-touch friendly interface.  I've become pretty good at processing photos in Bridge using the touchscreen, and it's very cool, but it could use some improvements.
    For an example of great user interface design, has anyone tried Office 2010 on Windows 7 yet?  http://www.istartedsomething.com/20090512/screencaps-office-2010-technical-preview-teched- 2009-keynote/
    The faded transparent title bar and tabbed ribbon interface is absolutely gorgeous.

    @Adam:
    I agree with your comments! So well said!
    And there are other issues, too -- by the color of the app window, you don't know if the window is active or inactive (focus or not in focus). Titles of panels which are inactive, are dark text over dark background -- hardly readable at all... And many more.
    I really hope Adobe are listening...
