Unable to edit link in Contribute CS5 (mac)

I am trying to edit a webpage in Contribute.  I create a draft of my homepage, and I am trying to edit one of the links.  However, other than a small text box, the mouse pointer is a circle with a slash through it, and thus I can't edit the link I need to edit.  This is Contribute CS5 on a Mac.  Any ideas?

Did you create the site?
It sounds like the site was built using templates and contains uneditable regions or it's within an include file (or a few other possibilities). Do you have a link to the page that you can't edit the link on?
If so, provide a link to that page and let us know what link you can't edit and we can look.

  • Not able to edit editable regions in contribute CS5

    Hi there,
    i got a question i need to ask according to the helpdesk i just spoke to. I've downloaded the Contribute CS5 trial yesterday and i wanted to show my costumer how to edit pages and create new ones. I've made the connection to the website and tried every possible thing but the only thing i can edit is the first editable region wich i always leave blank (the designer build in some hidden text there). The rest of the editable regions, named header and content can't be edited. How is this possible? This is only on the most existing pages. Creating new ones do not appear to have the same problems.
    i work with contribute CS4 and everything works fine. I can edit pages fully and publish everything like it should be. To be sure i also downloaded the trial CS5 to my laptop and i got exactly the same problem as described above.
    How can help me out?
    cheers

    Hello Pravin,

  • Unable to Edit Links

    I received an Excel File from a coworker in the company with macros. i cannot Edit the Links or Change the SOurce on the links. My coworker is able to without any issues. We tried other users with no luck. We logged into another machine as my coworker and
    we were able to edit the links. The Excel file is somehow tied to his user account. the origins of this file is from a third party 10 years ago in Excel 2003. We tried Excel 2010 and Excel 2013. I made sure that we both have full access to the file and its
    not in read only mode, i have made copies of the file to different locations as well.
    Question is: How is this Excel file only editable by a single user account?

    What's the meaning of >>"i cannot Edit the Links or Change the SOurce on the links"<<? Just edit the link no change or Edit links and Change the source options are greyed out?
    Yes these options are greyed out
    Does the file have some external data source? Such as SQL or Access. No external data, just external to other excel files.
    What are the functions of the macros? This i do not know as it is a complex Excel sheet.
    Could you edit the other content of the file? Yes i can edit other content in the worksheet.

  • I am unable to "open link behind mail" using Mac Mail now. It used to work fine, and just clicking works but not right clicking to open behind mail. Please help

    This used to work on my Mac using Firefox and Mac Mail but now it doesn't. Opening regular links are unaffected. I can still click and open easily. This only happens when I try to use the feature, to open links behind mail. When I right click nothing happens. Nothing is opened.

    Hi GetPaulHoward,
    Thank you for posting your question to the SUMO support forum, however I am not sure this pretains to Mozilla. There is a help forum you can contact at Apple.

  • Using Contribute CS5 to edit site created w/Dreamweaver - PayPal button size issues

    I'm using Adobe Contribute CS5 to edit my web site that was built with Dreamweaver on a Mac.  I have a PC with Windows XP, 1G of ram, a 40G hard drive (used only for programs and operating system) a 1 terabyte external hard drive for all files, etc.  I use MSN Explorer for my browser.
    I have done extensive editing and everything works fine except for when I edit or add PayPal buttons.  The site was built using "tables" for most everything as well as all of my price lists.  When I add a button or edit button properties, that row of cells doubles in height, in the "editing window" they look okay but when I publish the page they take on the doubled height.
    I contacted Contribute tech support and they say Contribute is working properly and the problem is with how the button code was written in Dreamweaver.  The tech said even though the button looks like it is the proper size, the code tells it to take up more space thus giving me the cell height problem.  My standard price lists do not have any lines defining rows and columns but on one page I have been experimenting with I have given the table a line value of 1 to enable me to see what is going on, you can view this page at; http://www.hopscrimshaw.com/birds/owls1.htm
    My Webmaster and I parted ways a few years ago so seeking help there is not an option, she won't return phone calls, reply to e-mails, etc. 
    Any help solving this problem would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks,   PapaHop

    I am also having this problem and any answer would be greatly appreciated. The code <p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"> </p> gets added whenever text edits are made. This seems to create spaces on the page which pushes content out of alignment. The code gets put into the navigation, the text and anything above the text being edited, jpeg sliders, images, etc.

  • Unable to edit track info in iTunes on a Mac Air

    Hello,
    I recently switched from a windows PC to a Mac Air. All my music was organizaed on an external hard drive. I have now imported the music in to my iTunes on my Mac Air. I am unable to edit individual track info when I use "Get Info". I tried to look up for permissions on the particular folder and found that they are all set as "Read Only".
    Any help in this matter is appreciated.

    Go to your Music (media)  folder. The one that holds the actual files.
    Click it and press Cmd+I or right click and select "Get Info"
    In the Info pane, click the lock to change permissions:
    You'll need to tnter your password to make any chnages.
    Set ALL permissions to Read & Write
    Click the Gear and select "Apply to enclosed items..."
    Then click "OK" when asked if you're sure.
    Let it apply to everything and THEN try editing the track oinfo.

  • Adobe contribute cs5 wurde unerwartet beendet - Mac Yosemite Version 10.10.2 (14C1514)

    Hallo
    Das Starten von Adobe Contribute CS5 ist bei mir nicht mehr möglich. Sowohl auf meinem MacBook Pro wie auch auf meinem iMac.
    Beide Macs haben die letzte OS-Version von Yosemite.
    Kann mir jemanden weiter helfen?
    Vielen Dank!

    The latest version of Adobe Contribute isn't compatible with the latest Mac OS so an older version wouldn't be either.

  • Contribute CS5 - cannot edit pages

    I have just installed trial (full) verstion of Contribute and I connected, can navigate between pages etc without any problem in view mode.
    However when I click the edit button it says (after trying to download the page and set up some files to work in): "Contribe encountered a network or file system error. Please try the operation again and contact the administrator if the error continues to occur." and does not create an editing page. If I do it again it creates an editing page but it is only the template and no text (apart from what exists in the template). If I add some text and publish it, it adds the text to the page I was editing adding it to the text already there (but which was not viewable in the edit page).
    Any ideas why this is happening? I have never used this programme before. My provider has no idea why this is happening and is not familar with Contribute. Any help to resolve this would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Please clear the preferences and try.
         Delete the Preferences in Library –
               Go to “<username>/Library/Preferences/”   and delete the folder  “Adobe Contribute CS5”
         Delete the Preferences in locale -
               Go to “<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/”     and delete the folder  “Contribute 6”
    If the above doesnot help then check if there any other versions of Contribute on the same machine and clear them also along with CS5 and try again.
    Check publishing a plain page from Contribute and reediting the same.
    Can you try editing any other page with a different template ?
    Could you try the same on any other machine and check?
    Can you share the URL ?

  • Contribute CS5 - Getting Locked Out by WebDAV on Review

    OK, we're using Contribute CS5 here, and we have writers who are sending drafts to publishers here, and we're using WebDAV.  Contribute is using WebDAV locking, so as a result it's not creating any .lck file, the locks are being kept track by a WebDAV database.
    However, when a writer sends a draft for review, and a Publisher tries to Publish, they get the following error:
    "someone else changed this page on your website while you were editing it.  What do you want to do?"
    When they select to "publish your draft, overwriting the changes the other person made," contribute responds with the following error:
    "access denied.  The file may not exist or there could be a permission problem."
    It looks like the only option would be to publish the draft as a new page.
    When I go into Dreamweaver to see the check out information, it tells me that it is checked out by "Adobe Contribute."
    I saw a few threads on this issue before, but none of the resolutions worked.
    I saw one suggesting that I disable rollbacks, but rollbacks aren't disabled.
    I saw this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/112454#112454 which said to give people permission to the _mm and MMWIP folders, but they already have Read/Write access to those folders.
    The only way I am able to break the lock is to access the files using the service's web interface (which doesn't use WebDAV), delete the file there and re-upload the current copy.  I cannot seem to break the lock otherwise.
    I don't know if this is a WebDAV issue or a Contribute issue, though the web server people seem to think it's something to do with Contribute.

    Hi,
         According to this technote: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/194/tn_19469.html , Contribute supports only exclusive locking of files, and hence, the editor of the page can only publish the page, I think. So, you can log a Feature Request for this. The Feature Request link is: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&product=9

  • Unable to edit header regions of template

    I have just recently taken over the whole editing etc, publishiing , admin of some  websties.  i have purchased contribute CS5. I was previously using Contrbute 4, which allowed me to edit the whole of the pages'header, body etc..'  however, whereas the consultant adminsitrator allowed me to edit the header regions, I now do not seem to be able to do this in CS5.  Is it because the  administrator has done something to stop me or am I missing some vital bit of info.  I can edit the content.  The old administrator is acting as if I never could do this and says I need to use Dreamweaver, which I dont have and didnt need it before, I have open the index page in dreamweaver and I still find that I am unable to edit the header and it appears to be try to access an included file,  it is trying to access Templates/base.dwt trouble is this does not exist among the files, any idea's why this might be so or is there some trick to editing the headers now that I am missing, cheers in addvance
    dustin

    Hi Dustin,
         You can edit the existing template in the Dreamweaver as for you requirement, by creating connection to that site in Dreamweaver.
    While saving the template, Dreamweaver will prompt you, asking for updating the pages using this template. You can update all the pages using that template. So then changes you did in the template will be reflected in those pages.
    For example, if you place the Header part in Editable region and save the changes and update in all the pages, then when you edit those pages, the header part will be editable.
    Hope this helps you.

  • Is there going to be a Contribute CS5

    Does anyone have an idea as to whether adobe will be releasing Contribute CS5.
    I have CS4 design premium and it comes with incontext editing which pretty is similar to contribute for updating and at the moment it is free. (comes if you have dreamweaver cs4)
    A friend of mine wants to update their site and I have suggested getting Contribute CS4 but if he purchases a suite with DWCS4 then he will have incontext editing.
    I have looked at the adobe contribute cs4 features on the adobe site but apart from a few movies it does not list the full features and capabilities of Contribute CS4 and also on the Adobe.TV section there are no videos demonstrating Contribute CS4 but there are for Incontext Editing which is strange as Contribute has been part of Adobe for a lot longer. It is these facts that make me think that Contribute CS4 will be the last version and Adobe will go with Incontext Editing instead. (Probably be a subscription service rather than the free as at present)
    Does anyone else have any ideas as to why Contribute CS4 has less promotion and support online from Adobe than other products?
    What do you think? (Or I am just paranoid)
    Look forward to any responses.
    Cheers,
    Kirk

    Is there going to be a Contribute CS5?
    Yes. Please have a look at http://www.adobe.com/products/contribute/ and also the link http://www.adobe.com/products/contribute/features/ for exciting new features in Contribute CS5.

  • I am unable to edit an image in Photoshop.

    I just installed Lightroom 5.3, and I have Photoshop CS5.1 installed. The problem is that I am unable to edit an image in Photoshop. When I click Photo>Edit In, the option for Photoshop is not active (i.e., it's not black), so I can't click on it. Why are the options for Photoshop and all of the other Photoshop related options, such as Merge to Panorama, etc., not active? In Preferences I have the following settings: File Format = TIFF; Color Space = ProPhotoRGB; Bit Depth = 16 bits; Resolution = 240; Compression = None. I am using Windows 7.

    Chris:
    I have to apologize for being misleading on my request for help in
    resolving the problem.
    Actually the version I am using is CS2 not CS3.
    Yesterday I tried numerous times, and ways, to edit an image and each time
    it refused to allow me to save it.
    The software program just shut down. This evening when I decided to give it
    another try it worked perfect.
    Guess the program just took the day off.
    Thank you for offering to help
    Regards,
    Doug

  • Unable to edit html file

    Hi,
    I downloaded an html file from our server to edit the logo. However, I am unable to edit the logo part. It's like commented out. And once I opened the file on Dreamweaver CS5, I am getting this pop-up message:
    "This page contains some SWF objects that may not work properly in the most recent versions of Internet Explorer. Dreamweaver cannot convert them to the new SWF markups. Please delete each of them and insert again."
    I can't edit the html file and change the logo. Please help.
    Thank you and God bless!
    Dannie

    Dannie,
    Are you familiar with dreamweaver templates and editable regions? If the logo is in the template, then you need to modify the template file. The changes you make to the template will automatically be propogated to all of the files which use the template.  If your html file uses a template, the html code will look like its commented out.
    Also, you should not have to download the html fiile from your server because you should always keep a copy of all the html files on your computer.
    I don't know about the SWF error.
    Good luck.
