  • Photoshop CS4 -- Bug in What's New

    After installing CS4, I looked in Photoshop for What's New, which previously was to be found under help. I finally found it, under Essentials, but instead of launching What's New, instead you get a panel which says "the selected workspace will modify menu and/or keyboard shortcut sets. Would you like to apply this workspace?" What's going on?

    Understood. So jsu how do you find What's New in Photoshop CS4? I see that with In Design, What's New is found in the equivalent location and links to an adobe.com page instead of popping up the mysterious message above referenced.
    A search in Photoshop CS4 help yields Workspace > What's New in CS4, which obviously isn't working.

  • Contribute CS4 Not loading new CSS

    I've been having a problem with contribute cs4, I've done new changes to the the CSS stylesheet and looks good in all browsers but when I log in into contribute it is still loading the old, I added some comments to the code in the template to see if they will show up on view source in contribute and nothing, it is not loading any new changes done to the css file or the templates or any other pages it is still caching the old stuff, I try closing and re-opening contribute, restarting my computer and still nothing this is frustrating!!
    Any ideas to force contribute to dump the cache and re-load the new files?

    Have you tried a force refresh (Shift+Refresh)?
    You didn't rename the CSS file did you?

  • Contribute CS4 ignores template changes?

    First, I'm new to Contribute. I understand the general idea
    of what it does and how it works, but I'm clearly out of my element
    on how it works with template files.
    I'm setup as an administrator on a Contribute CS4
    installation on WinXP. I can edit and publish pages with no
    problems.
    Except this: When I modify the template files for the site
    (obtained from the server, modified, and replaced on the server),
    the new modifications are not appearing in the newly-published
    pages. I've verified that I'm working on the correct template for
    the particular page, and I've even made sure to "refresh templates"
    a couple times in case that worked. I've even gone so far as to
    find the drafts of the pages I've been working on and make sure the
    templates stored on my hard drive are properly updated (they are).
    Am I wrong to expect Contribute to incorporate updates to the
    template file? Am I being a complete bonehead and missing something
    obvious (wouldn't be the first time)?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    I've just had to update 100+ template based pages on a
    Contribute site. I ended up having to use Dreamweaver exclusively
    for the change.
    Contribute does not seem to be "aware" of template updates
    when you update a template based page. When you edit a page based
    on a template that has changed, it doesn't apply the change or give
    you any means of applying the change.
    Also, when I attempted to use Modify-Templates-Update Current
    Page on a page in Dreamweaver using the File-Actions-Edit Page
    Source in External Application, Contribute went, well, berserk,
    acting like I wanted to change dozens of pages and files in the
    site. Lots of manual clean-up after that.
    So, I just used only Dreamweaver to update all the pages
    based on the template, as well as updating the template itself.
    It's possible to "break" a Dreamweaver template by updating the
    template with another editor.

  • Contribute CS4 Crashes Using Vimeo Links

    We recently started posting videos on Vimeo and tried to add links on our website (using Contribute CS4).  We can create a link to any Vimeo page but then Contribute will crash when editing any text or when looking at the properties of the hyperlink.  If I remove the Vimeo link the crashing problems immediately go away.  This happens even if the link is just to http://vimeo.com. 
    We will consider upgrading Contribute if this problem goes away in newer version, but we don't want to spend more on Contribute if the problem also exists in newer versions.  Anyone else having this experience?

    questions:  where is the InDesign Defaults file?  and, most importantly, how can I fix this problem?  It's really hard to work w/o a links panel.
    If replacing prefs will work (no promises, but sudden flakiness like this is a good candidate), you'll find all you need at Replace Your Preferences
    If it doesn't work, post a link to the crash report as John suggests and he can probably give you some insight into what the problem is.

  • Contribute CS4 and CS3 user compatibility

    I recently had my school purchase 30 copies of CS3 witch I
    manage their connections. I have no plans to upgrade to CS4 yet but
    if one of my teachers purchases a copy they may only have the
    option to buy Contribute CS4. Will this be a problem as far as my
    ability to administer their connection and will this be a problem
    for other CS3 users if I decide to upgrade. Will I need to go out
    and purchase 30 more upgrades? I can't seem to find anything in the
    tech docs yet and I am trying to be prepared for the
    problems.

    > one with CS4 and
    > the other with CS3, work on the same documents?
    Yes, for the most part. Some things have changed, for example
    the markup
    used when Flash is inserted, but as long as you aren't doing
    things like
    that, you will be quite safe.

  • After upgrading to mountain lion, contribute cs4 did not open

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I found that Contribute CS4 did not open.  In searching for an answer I found the following on the Adobe forum:
    "Earlier versions of Adobe Photoshop (CS3 and CS4) software were also tested with Mountain Lion and there are currently no known issues."
    So continuing to search, two days of frustration ensued as I "chatted" with 2 unhelpful Adobe customer support reps, searched unhelpful Apple and Adobe websites and posted my question in various places.  Finally I found that the above statement was completely wrong when I received the following from an Adobe staffer:
    Mountain LION is not a supported platform for Adobe Contribute CS4. The supported versions are Latest Adobe Contribute 6.5 and Adobe Contribute CS5.X.
    And now I have to spend hundreds in order to maintain my website after upgrading to Mountain Lion.  I don't even know to whom I should take my complaint, Apple or Adobe.  Does this mean I have to research every piece of software I use before upgrading my Mac?  At the very least, Mac owners should be forwarned of platform support failures for major 3rd party producers. I'm doing my bit here.   How about you taking some responsibility?

    I just baught a new imac from the apple store and loaded mountain lion when I got home due to the time it would take there.  I then used migration assitant to load CS4 from my mac pro that is using snow lepord.  This worked flawlessly. CS4 and Bridge work great.  I then downloaded the mountain lion upgrade to my wifes mac pro that was also using snow lepord and once mountain lion was instaled it disabled CS4 compleatly.  I will repost the results tomorrow. I believe that I can reinstall CS4 to her mac pro now that she has mountain lion installed using migration assistant from my mac pro since it worked this way with the new imac.  I hope this works because I want to upgrade my mac pro to mountain lion but can't afford to lose CS4. 

  • Contribute CS4 on Windows 7 64 bit - Attempting to edit existing website results in a blank page

    Hi,
    I am an IT Tech and not an Adobe Contribute user so my apologies in advance for wrong terminology.
    I just installed a new Windows 7 64 bit PC for a client and installed their copy of CS4 Contribute.
    When they attempt to edit their website the page being edited ends up blank.  We can't work out why.
    The same software was on an Windows XP PC and is the same website that they could edit previously without any problems.
    Can anyone assist with settings or advice on potential incompatibility issues?
    Thanks
    Chris

    Chris
    This one is most likely related to permissions - Contribute simply does not have access to write the temporary file, but still attempts to anyway (resulting in a file being created / cleared on the server, but no actual information being written to the file).
    This still appeared to be a problem even when running the application in Administrator mode.
    I may get flamed by the super security-concience techs, but this worked for me:
    Find the location of the temporary site / draft folder (default is C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Adobe\Contribute CS4\en_US\Sites)
    Select the folders in the "Sites" folder
    Right-click one of them and go to "Properties"
    Click the security tab and click "Edit"
    Add the user "Everyone"
    Select the "Everyone" user and check "Full Control"
    Hit OK, then OK again
    I can't guarantee it will work, but see how you go.
    Thanks

  • What's up with DreamWeaver CS4?

    D/W tells me it can't find the root folder so I go to "mangae sites", then edit, and show it where the site is located on my desktop, and I get this error message.
    Then when I try to upload a file to my website I get this error message.
    And yes I'd buy CS6 if I could afford it, who wouldn't. But $50 bucks a month is not something I can afford right now.
    And it happens over and over again. I won't allow me to fix it. Even after many attempts. Has anybody an answer to this problem. Oh, and I'm using CS4 with Mac OS X version 10.9. I've been using this for years and have never had a problem till I bought a new MacBook Pro.
    Thanks for your help, before the fact.

    Thanks but I¹ve done that and it just keeps asking me to click on ³manage
    site² and do it over and over again. I¹m wondering if perhaps when I bought
    this new computer, and the had me change my user name on the computer by
    putting a ³1² after it, if somehow that screwed the whole thing up and it
    can no longer recognize any of it as a result?

    I think that the error message is quite clear, there is a problem with the
    mentioned page. Try renaming the document and see what happens.

  • Contribute CS4 only shows browser Window?

    Hi All,
    I have a bizzare issue that I can't seem to find anyone else having.My Contribute CS4 is only showing the browser window. This means I get no File, Edit, that sort of thing. It is super frustrating because is severly limits what I can do.It also means I can't resize the window, much less move it. It is basically set in size and location (the center of my screen). I have deleted the preferences folder and registry entry to foce them to be rebuilt, but it didn't help at all.
    I'm sure this is something simple, but I have tried every key combination I can think of, none seem to be working. I've attached a screen shot so you can see what I'm talking about.
    Just as an FYI, I'm running Windows 7.

    Hi Kathy,
    Yes the menu bar within Internet Explorer is showing. It is frustrating because I literally cannot do anything other than hit ALT+F4 to close the application or click on things showing within the area in the screen shot.
    Thanks for the suggestion.
    Joel

  • Contribute CS4 for Mac crashes

    I have Contribute 3 and tried to used it in an Intel Mac and it crashes on launch, so I thought I need an upgrade and last night
    I bought Contribute CS4 and I have the exact same problem: It crashes on launch I have to force quit it.
    Before I had a Trial version and it worked fine, is when typed in the serial that the trial version froze, so I downloaded a new one
    and after installation go fine, then I clicked "Launch the App" and I only get to see the splash window, then it crashes.
    A few hours ago I discovered that I need the serial for Macromedia Contribute 3, can someone please tell how I get that serial?
    I registered at Macromedia.
    Thank you

    This is an ongoing problem I was associated with the following thread
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/1049444?tstart=0#1049444
    but it has been closed because it has been 'answered'!  When I searched for this thread I could not find it and I only have it because I found it in an email to myself (almost as if Adobe is trying to hide it!)
    I am still having the issues and have had to
    delete all reference to Contribute CS4 in Library/Application Support and Library/Preferences.
    Relaunch Contribute
    Go to Contribute --> My Connections and Check the 'do not connect to websites at startup'
    Re do your site Connection
    This may work for a while but the problem is certainly not fixed.  I manage my school's intranet and have up to 100 people connected.  We ahve foolishly just upgraded to CS4!!
    Good Luck, hopefully Adobe may reopen the discussion on this matter and actually fix it.  Ironically, every time it crashes the Adobe Crash Reporter does not open so Apple get 20 reports from me a day!

  • Contribute CS4 authplay.dll error on launch

    Clean install of newly purchased Contribute CS4 on client system that exceeds system requirements. Upon initial launch, error RE: authplay.dll and program goes not further than initial splash screen. Can only kill the process at that point to close it.
    What is the solution?

    I purchased three copies of Contribute CS4 to be installed on Win XP machines. One laptop runs without errors. The two desktop machines give the error "Contribute has encountered a problem and needs to close" and "AppName: contribute.exe        AppVer: 5.0.0.3264                ModName: authplay.dll
    ModVer: 10.0.0.521 Offset: 00205ce6".
    I ran a search for authplay.dll on the troubled systems and found multiple versions; I rolled the file back to 10.0.0.508 which I found in Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Utilities/Extendscript Toolkit CS4.
    This seems to have fixed the problem, at least for now. I am able to open Contribute on all machines as of this writing (however I fully expect the Adobe Updater to undo my efforts with the file in question the next time it runs).
    Hopefully this may help others.

    Hello I need help

  • Contribute CS4 sometimes closes...

    I appreciate the help beforehand. Sometimes during the middle
    of programs (particularly Contribute CS4); it sometimes freezes and
    close with an error message of "windows is checking for a solution"
    and that message often comes when I even close the program. This
    has been mainly happening on my Adobe Contribute when I use it to
    edit my site, here is a screenshot:
    http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/63f2156f2a88d045a4ce5ea072735f384g.jpg
    Other times it can happen (if i'm fortunate enough) when I
    close the program. This sometimes happens in IE too so you can see
    what I mean: Here is a screenshot of sometimes this type of error
    after I close a program like IE:
