LR4 Flickr plug-in 'could not contact Flickr web service' - has nobody solved this problem?

G'day All,
I know i'm not alone. LR4 is now telling me it cannot update (Re-Publish) images successfully uploaded only an hour before via the native Lightroom publishing service.
Here's the plug-in diagnostic:
Plug-in error log for plug-in at: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.1\Flickr.lrplugin
**** Error 1
This plug-in’s post-processing task did not finish successfully.
Could not contact the Flickr web service. Please check your Internet connection.
There are a couple of other discussions of the same issue on this forum, dating back to 2010, and, as far as I can see, no resolution to date.
Am I wrong?
I know there's the other guy's plugin, but everyone with the same problem reports no change if they switch to that. I'm signed in without problems to Flickr via both IE and FF, and the Flickr Uploadr connects just fine. I'm at work, and am hardly in a position to be tweaking modem packet-handling, (not that I'd be inclined to anyway!)
Flickr is hardly obscure - it's the biggest, most successful photo-sharing service on the web. Is there a solution I haven't spotted? If not, surely a solution is overdue?
regards,
Bill

G'day Rob,
I've installed the Friedl plugin, but the problem is I have 50 images I'm looking to republish - specifically only to update the captions - whereas the new plugin will naturally want me to republish (all over again) the entire set of photos.
I've just tried republishing 3 of them all over again with full captions via the Friedl plugin and it worked fine - looks like I'll have to delete the original lot if I want to have fully-captioned versions and use the Freidl plug-in from now on!
Think I'll just fiddle with the captions of the originals online, and use the Friedl plug-in for future uploads.
Dear Adobe - could the bug in the original, native publishing service be fixed, please? As Alan states above, we currently potentially have people wandering around playing with systems registeries and modem packet-handling and firewalls because the software is making incorrect reports of connection status, when, in fact, the Adobe Flickr plug-in simply can't handle multiple-paragraphs in captions!
And if you've found this, Dear Reader, because the LR4 (or LRx) Flickr publishing service is telling you you can't connect to Flickr - don't tweak anything! First check if you have entered captions on your photos that contain paragraphs - i.e. carriage or hard-returns so that they appear broken into readable chunks just as this post does - because that's probably the problem. Simplify - to one line - a caption on the next photo or two due to be uploaded to check, and, if that works, and you want to have full captions, try the Friedl plugin!
Thanks to all for your help.
Bill

Hi I currently use lightroom 4 and have never had an issue uploading photo books to blurb.but now when i try a message appears saying "could not contact blurb web service.please check internet connection" my internet connection is fine.please can somebody help me as i need to get the album done as it is a wedding album and the clients are waiting on it.many thanks,Sean.

Hi,
I got this problem sorted and it actually very easy. For some reason the settings on the windows page i use on my laptop conflicted with the blurb/lightroom upload. All you need to do is set up a new windows user page and set it up as admin. You will need to transfer all the photos from the lightroom on your current user page to the new one which can be annoying but at least you will hopefully get up and running again. I hope this helps,
Sean.

ALI Search error: "Error - Could not contact the Search Service"

Hi,
I have installed Aqualogic Interaction with all its components.
While trying to search for a string, it is throwing this error:
"Error - Could not contact the Search Service".
Unable to figure it out. Is this because of the search host settings?
Where can I check/modify the search host settings? I am not able to find them.
Can someone please help on this?
Thanks in advance,
Ashok

The settings for the search server are located in Administration. Go to the utilities drop down, from here you should see Search Service Manager. Here you should see the contact node host and port.
Make sure the Search Server is running. Also, import the searchcluster.pte file so that the Search Cluster Manager is visible in the utilities drop down.

My iPod cannot be synced because the required file could not be found. How do I fix this problem?

Peace. My name is Free. Thanks in advance for any help u can offer. My iPod cannot be synced because the required file could not be found. How do I fix this problem?

Hi antiklady,
I see that you may be having an issue with compatibility of iTunes when connecting your iOS device. This sort of issue can arise if you have two versions of iTunes installed on your computer, which I feel may be the case. Here is an article that can tell you how to identify the version of iTunes that you have open:
iTunes: How to find which version you are using - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201521
If the version of iTunes that is opened is not the version you are required to use for the iOS device in question, try searching through your computer or applications folder to see if there may be two versions of iTunes installed on your computer. Then, uninstall the version that is incompatible using these steps:
Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

Put the files back where iTunes expects them to be.

I connected my sons Ipod Touch to my pc and it worked fine. Now, when I try to connect my iPad the following message comes up: One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.
I checked the cable. It surely is not the cable. If I connect the iPod again it works fine. If I use the same cable with my pc and ipad at work or my other son’s laptop, it is working perfectly. It is only on my laptop where the iPod was connected. Something tells me it got something to do with the drivers that went corrupt or something when I connected the iPod.
I searched the internet and I see a lot of people gets this message. Still no solved answers yet. Is there a place where I can download the drivers again or any other suggestions?

Kind regards,

I was hoping it would be something like a USB device conflict, but now the shuffle is the only thing connected...

Under Part 9. Verify that USB drivers are installed, did you try the steps in If only "Unknown Device" appears? That appears to be your situation.
Also, you said that the shuffle initially worked well enough to do a sync, then it had the same problem again. If you can get it to work again initially, before doing anything else, try the following. Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, go to the Summary tab. By default, the checkbox for Enable disk use should be unchecked. If so, check it and Apply the change. See if that makes any difference.
(If Enable disk use was already checked, try unchecking it and Apply the change. Basically, set it the "other way" and see if there is any improvement.)
NOTE: When disk use is enabled, you have to eject the iPod in iTunes before disconnecting it physically.
If the disk use change makes a difference, that may provide a clue about the actual cause.

Hey my iphone is not synching with itune, how can i solve this problem?

It can sync with a 32-bit, so long as you have the correct version of iTunes installed. I'm assuming that you are referring to a Windows based computer, so check out this support document regarding the device not being recognized by Windows. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

My MacBook Pro does not read NTFS format, how can I solve this problem?

I connected my external Hard drive to my Mac and it gives the error abou not reading the NTFS files... is there an app that can solve this problem?
Thanks a lot

You can take the drive to a PC, off load the files and right click and format the drive exFAT or FAT and place the files back on, then the Mac can read it.
If you install NTFS reading software on your Mac, you will always be paying for it and it's updates, breaks your connections to the hard drive as well.
Neutral formats are best, proprietary ones that require one to pay is bad.
Drives, partitions, formatting w/Mac's + PC's

How to install flashplayer on iphone or could you tell me an alternate method to solve this problem?

Hello,
I use InDesign to arrange our catalog. After finish it, my boss want to have a website. So I export this file as SWF format(page transitions==>page turn==>SWF only), and a E-book was born.
My boss like this E-book very much, which can flip like a real book. This E-book become our first official website. We are frustrated that we can not see our E-catalog with iphone just because we can not install flashplayer.
Would you please tell me a method or an alternate method to solve this problem?
Thank you very much!
Best Regards,
Flora

There is not, and never has been a Flash Player for iPhones, iPads or iPods. Steve Jobs was ADAMANT about making iOS incompatible with it in 2006, and Adobe has never developed a Player for iOS. Apple has and recomends "SkyFire" (free in the App store) if you view content that MUST have Flash Player.
