Unlocking a page

I need to edit a page in dreamweaver that has been locked
because the client uses contribute to edit that page. How do I
unlock this page so that I can edit it?

Not if the client has made changes to their checked out
version, and not yet
checked those changes back in.

Apparently they knew enought to check it out, no?

Select the file in Contribute and Publish it. Or maybe just
ask them if
they have made any edits to that page. If they have not, tell
them to
cancel their checkout in Contribute.

How to seperate (unlock) frames/pages?

Hello. I have a dokument of 80 pages of text. Now my problem is that when i edit in one page/frame the other pages/frames relativise to the changes (for eksample move up or down). Now i want them to stop adjusting to eachother synchronically so that I can edit one page/frame with the next changing aswell.
To kind of unlock the pages from eachother, non-synkronize them. How do I do that?
In advance, thansk for your help!

It sounds to me like your text is a single "story" running through a series of "threaded" frames. This is normal when working with long passages of text since normally you want text following an edit to either flow back to fill a deletion or push down to make room for additions. In susch cases empty space or "overset" text ends up at the end of the thread in the last frame of the story.
There is a sample script included with InDesign called SplitStory that will break the links between the threaded frames, making each one a separate story. If a paragraph happens to cross the boundary betwen two frames it will be split into two parts, and the second half will be treated as a new paragraph. If the style calls for a first line indent, that will be applied to the first line in the unlinked frame.

How do you unlock a pages document? nothing I see on the forums duplicates my situation.

how do you unlock a document in pages that doesn't say "locked" at the top of the page???

Thanks for answering me! You might not be reading my question correctly because I think I am confused. So now I have a couple questions. I have never used the the Document Inspector to lock a file so that is not the issue. It has not asked for a password either.
When you said a document will be locked after a period of time I have experienced that but usually it drops a box down asking if you want to unlock it. When you said, "as determined by my System Preferences" I dont' see anything in system preferences about documents.....what am I missing here?? I am using Lion 10.7.4. So I would like to know the answer to that. I am wondering if you meant it can be set to lock or not lock???
That said.....in the meantime I had done a duplicate and then made it a template just to see if I could accomplish what I was trying to do and that didn't work either. SOooooooo let me ask you this.....what I did was take a bunch of clip art off the internet and put it all on one document page in Pages. I named it "tropical clip art." When I open that document I can not drag and drop any of the clip art anywhere. Not to my desktop, not to another document etc. That is what made me think it was locked. The document name is at the top and it has "edit" greyed out next to the name. What the heck am I doing wrong? I am fairly new to Pages altho been an Apple user for awhile. I have always fuddled my way through using Pages. If I can not put the clip art on a document to save it all in one place, what is my other option? I was trying to avoid going back onto the internet repeatedly to get clip art I want to use over and over. It is free clip art. If I go to the internet I can drag and drop it anywhere.
When I try to drag and drop it off the Pages document it disappears and I have to go to "undo typing" under edit to get it back. Am I making any sense??
And this is my very first time on these forums too so that took me a bit to figure out.
Thanks so much!!!!!

Help! Can't edit pages

Hi all, please help a newbie!!
I have recently started working for a charity which had a
Dreamweaver website. I have Contribute 3 for editing purposes, but
I can't change a lot of things and it doesn't make any sense.
Unfortunately the company that produced the website for us in the
first plave has gone bust, so I have no access to any help from
them. I have checked that I have full administration rights.
The main problems are:-
1. The pages are set in 2 column format, which I don't want,
but I am unable to change this
2. I can change font style/colour/alignment etc etc on the
home page of the site, but on all the others this is not possible
and I am only offered a choice of 6 pre-set styles which are awful
3. When I edit a page in Contribute it appears correctly, but
when I upload it to the site the text and images are misaligned (I
am making sure that I am using the correct file types for images).
I therefore have to keep editing the page and shifting things about
and then publishing it until I get everything to line up correctly
on the site.
4. One of the pages says that I am unable to edit because
another user is already editing. This user is a member of staff
that left over 2 years ago.
Sorry if some of this may seem basic, but I have done
tutorials and read books, and I can't see any reason why I
shouldn't be able to do all the above with full administration
rights. I've been thrown in at the deep end here!
Here's the website, in case that helps www.findavoice.org.uk
Thanks in advance
Liz :o)

Hi,
First of all Contribute is limited and in many cases you won't be able to change styles, colors, etc.
We have a similar case here and the two column format is on our stylesheet and cannot be changed.
Depending on how much control and how the styles were set up you may also see styles displayed differently. Usually the styles displayed are the only ones allowed to be used on that specific page. Doesn't mean something is missing. You can contact the Administrator to confirm whether the styles are correct for the pages you mentioned but I've never seen a mistake on setting the styles up.
As I mentioned above Contribute is limited. You are working without looking at the codes. If something is not being displayed correctly users cannot do anything but they should communicate the problem to the designer so he/she can fix in Dreaweaver.
This employee had probably left a draft without publishing. The fastest way is contacting the Contribute Administrator and ask to unlock the page. This can only be done within Dreamweaver. This will probably delete the "new content draft" but since you mentioned he left two years ago the content is definitely old.
Again remember that Contribute won't give 100% power and sometimes designers have to finish the users' work. Keep in mind rights to edit the web site are given according to the needs and is up to designer or the Web Team to change layout. I am just mentioning this because you told that you don't want the two column format but this was probably created and decided by the Web designer to fit the needs of the company. I myself administer many users and every day I have someone asking to change some styles. Unless affects functionality none of the styles are changed.
There's always a chance for you to get something changed if you can have some input to the web site since it's a charity you may have great chances to get what you need.

Unlocked previous documents are blank

cannot open any recent unlocked docs, pages are blank as if hidden.

Here, as I use the apps heavily, even after setting the count of recent items to 50, I never get a recent item sufficiently old to be locked.
Only files which aren't reachable this way have chance to be locked.
I use Lion for months and have no problem with the locked files.
When I unlock them, happily, I retrieve the last saved contents.

Contribute CS3 Locking up pages

My client just began using Contribute CS3 and each time she
edits a page, then publishes, she can no longer access the page for
further editing until we unlock the page for her.
She'll get an error that 'this page is being edited by her
and not available to edit'. Or the message will say she's editing
the page on another computer.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so, how did
you resolve it?

I have been having the same problem with both Contribute 3.1
and CS3. It only occurs when I have a lot of links on the page. I
am now using spry menus and have a lot of links on every page and
so Contribute is locking up when I try to publish. Then you can't
use it again until you clear out the drafts. Without the spry menus
it was always just one draft page, but now with the spry menu it
grabbed all of my links to other pages and created a draft for each
one. I now have to clear out around 50 drafts. Can anyone help with
this?

When I log in to update a page it says that's someone else is already logged in (but they are not) so I'm not able to update the page - any suggestions?

I take it you are not the administrator for the site? If so, you would be given the option to unlock the page (it will be near the top of the screen in a yellow box).
Do you have access to the site outside of Contribute. If you can't unlock it via the administrative function mentioned above, you need to go into the site using Windows Explorer (if it's a local development site) or an FTP client and find a file with the same name as the page but with a .lck extension and delete it. That will unlock the page.

Can we change the properties of the Page in Portal?

Hi,
Is it possible to change the properties of the Page? I want to change the height and width properties of the page, but i dont see the properties in the list. Can you please guide?
Regards
Sai

Hi Sai
You can change the page properties. Right click on portal page > object. it will open the page object properties.
If a page is locked, you can open it in read-only mode. then you need to unlock the page object. refer to [Page Editing|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a3/badf3d48b05d5ae10000000a11405a/content.htm]
Please check the page properties attributes. [Click here |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/13/81a66d100011d7b84b00047582c9f7/content.htm]. this properties list is also applicable for the object type iviews/pages.
Hope it will helps

Date on iphone start page is mysteriously replaced by text

Two days ago I noticed that the clock on the 'slide to unlock' start page, which normally shows the current time in a large font and the current date beneath it in a smaller font, was messed up. The date had been replaced by a phrase, "Those Voices Don't Speak for the Rest of Us." The date eventually came back, but today the date has again been replaced by the word Extreme. What is going on? Has my phone been hacked?

How to consolidate app pages?

I know you can create folders, but how can I cut 8 pages to only 5? Many pages only have a couple apps on them (with no rhyme or reason), others are full. I've tried to drag them, but can only drag them to the unlock screen page.

pzjagd1,
Let's take a look. You can try deleting the app from the page that it is currently on and then add back on the page that you want. You can also try and drag and drop them with a stylus. Please keep us posted.

Can't get past a "locked file" error, ie can't Publish?

This software is very very very difficult to configure -- but
I'd suppose you've heard that before re: Contribute C3. This is
trying to get a new client (we're a web hosting co, who just got
them from their previous web hosting firm who sold them on
Contribute....idiots!) Anyways, I've had NOTHING but troubles with
this app.....
I learned how to operate the app, and how to generate a KEY
to send to the new client, and made them an Admin and sent same and
then went over there to their offices. My client rec'd the CONN KEY
that I made. We ran it on their computer when prompted to by
Contribute. we then restarted with them now as an Admin. Working at
their offices, I was able to connect, then edit a page on their
website no problem -- BUT -- as soon as I tried to PUBLISH same,
you get a yellow bar up top that says "You can't edit this page now
becuase you are already editing it on another computer. Click here
to make this page editable" WTF???????????
This statement is wrong. No one else (other than me and my
computer is OFF) has the abiltiy to edit that page. No one else has
the credentials to enable Con to work on that client site
either...so....?????
I then click the 'here' and I get the notice that Contribute
must unlock the page (stupid non professional app!!!) and I then
try YES, and I get the dialog that says "no, access is denied or
there may be a permission problem."
This too is not correct. I personally made the perms for the
whole website folder structure read/write and they work fine. I can
use my own CMS system to login and make a change that works
perfectly.. But not using Contribute....sigh....and that client
WANTS to use Contribute....sigh....
Could someone offer help here? Adobe Tech support in some
other country doesn't seem able to understand my problem, let alone
help, let alone feel any sense of urgency as this is a CLIENT for
christsakes.....anyways...here's my questions...
Is there a way to totally CLEAR all the settings on the
client machine Contribute, then re-use the KEY to begin a new Admin
role? I'm a bit fearful of deleting that website but if someone
here who's NON adobe personnel says okay, that'd be my next step.
Or do I need to uninstall from my own box too?
Or, is there a way to fix this, without that deletion? I'd
feel better about another way....but no matter. My client only has
one eyebrow raised up at me right now, but if I don't come up with
an answer tomorrow, that client will most likely be gone!
Help here someone?
Jim

Hi, try clearing the Contribute Preferences once and try the
same scenario. Check any .LCK file is created for that particular
page. Delete that file manually and make it editable.
To Clear the preference, quit Contribute, and then delete the
Contribute CS3 folder in C:\Documents and
Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\ and
also run the following command " reg delete
"HKCU\Software\Adobe\Contribute 4.1" /f " if you are using
Contribute CS3. Reconnect to the site and try the same scenario.
Note that, if you clear the preferences then no connection
will be listed in Contribute, you need to recreate the connections.
It will be like a fresh installation.

Can no longer print after MacOS 10.6.8 upgrade

I used to have full Reader functionality on my core duo 2006 era MAcbook. Since I upgraded to OS 10.6.8 I can no longer print. I get a print error that says "No pages selected to print" even though I clearly selected the whole document.
Nor do on line pdf forms on websites seem to recognize it when I fill them in. I tried version 9.5, 10.x and 11.02. The latter 11.02 will not run at all on my computer even though it installs OK.

A few Problems/Glitches with InDesign CC 2014 on Windows 7 and CC on Mac OS 10.6.8

We're experiencing some quirky glitches with InDesign CC on a Mac running OS 10.6.8, and with CC 2014 on Windows 7. I'll indicate which system on each problem...
Anchored objects disappear when anchored into boxes that are, in turn, anchored into text flow.
We publish catalogs and anchor all our images to the accompanying text so that as we remove/add products, all the text and images flow together. We have several instances in which we use a box to highlight certain products. In that box might be 1, 2, 3, or more products, each with anchored images. When we anchor those boxes within the main text flow, many of the images inside the box disappear. The anchors are still there but we can't see the images. This is happening on both systems.
"Replace" field disappears when selecting anything from the “wildcard/special char.” menu in "find and replace". Windows.
Shift click to unlock master page items bring background item to foreground.
In CS4 and 5.5, if you shift-clicked to release an item from the master page, the top-most item was released. Now it seems as though the item that is farthest behind gets released first, which makes it impossible to select any other items if that one is a full-page background. Both systems.
Double/triple clicking on a word to select it does nothing.
You could literally click for 5 minutes and it wont select anything. You have to click off the box, use selection tool then click back onto the box and then it will work. You can move the cursor a few letters away and it will select the appropriate line or paragraph but it did not work this way in earlier versions. Both systems.
Any suggestions, or is it something we're doing wrong?
Thanks,
Lloyd

The list of obvious errors and glitches and illogical behaviour in all Indesign versions is long. With newer versions, some items disappeared from the list, but new ones were added.
Best is to use the Adobe bug report form to let Adobe know in hope, they really read, care and someday do something about it.
