Workspace issues in CS4

since the recent upgrade everytime I open an indd file (without my fonts already opened and links updated?) the main window of my workspace does not appear. If I try to change any of the workspace settings, links, swatches, whatever, there is no response. I followed the general troubleshooting advice and removed the both the "Indesign SaveData" and "InDesign defaults" and all was well -- but the fun never ends -- on beginning work today the problem is back. Screen grab attached. (I use Suitcase Fusion to manage fonts and they used to open automatically when a file called for something?)

so I upgraded to Fusion 3... set preferences in Fusion 3 to auto-activate fonts for CS4 applications. (illustrator, indd and ps)
Now I'm getting the following error message when I open indd.
I followed the alert and went to system preferences pane and turned suitcase fusion 3 core on,
then restarted the computer and got the same alert.
by looking at my other computer, maybe I need to turn it on in system prefs, and NOT restart, but instead launch indd and go to the indd preferences where I should find an additional preference option called "suitcase fusion 3 auto-activation" and enable that...
I'll let you know if that works and if so, maybe this will help others out.

Same issues in CS4 as CS5

So I have upgraded to CS5 hoping that the numerous issues I faced with CS4 would cease and go away. For a person in a position where Photoshop is the bulk of your daily use you might think that Adobe might have found the solutions for these irritating small issues that are easily found in repetition and can be repeated once you have them down.
Here are my issues with CS4 and now with CS5:
1. Every time Photoshop crashes my workspace resets as well as all of my brushes causing me to have to reset these on every crash.
2. Palettes still don't hold there place with persistence set. (mainly Illustrator issues)
3. Open documents as Tabs still resets every time you quit and then restart Photoshop (happens also in Illustrator)
This might seems small to others, but I use Photoshop for a least 10 hours or more a day and these small irritating issues add up to a lot of time when you are working in a fast paced production environment as I am.
Can someone at Adobe please look in to these issues????
I have been experiencing these issues since CS3.
You would think that programmers of such dynamic software platforms such as Adobe would catch this, but after it running my impression of CS4 and leaving a bitter taste in my mouth I thought a post might help.
PS
I am not a regular to these forums. I prefer to contact Adobe directly to discuss issues. I am just at wits end with these persistent issues.
Any help is appreciated.

Find out what is common to all your nine systems. Do you all procure your RAM from the same source? Is the same IT team responsible for all your systems as well as the network? Do they just clone your systems rather than installing everything from scratch?
I agree with all the previous posters that this is something unique to your system.
Not once have I ever experienced any of those symptoms in CS3 and CS4, and I have been using them since the day each one of those versions was released—actually since the beta days. I do not use CS5, but you say you've been seeing this since CS3.
Chris Cox is not just any Adobe employee; he is a top Adobe Photoshop engineer and has been writing Photoshop code for some fifteen years. We are extremely fortunate that he contributes to this forum as a volunteer on his own time and dime.

Issues With CS4 Installation on Win 8?

I purchased CS4 (Web Premium) on disc several years ago, and it has been working fine on my Win XP computer ever since. The Adobe software has all the current updates, though I am using the CS4 version of Acrobat Pro (9.xx) rather than a more recent (free) version of Reader.,
Unfortunately, my computer's hard drive has fried, and I just purchased a new Windows 8 machine, which will arrive shortly. I am trying to determine:
1. Are there any general issues with CS4 installation on Win 8 that I should know about in advance?
2. Are there specific procedures (de-activation?) that I need to follow BEFORE attempting the installation on the new computer?
3. Other than specific user issues, are there problems with CS4 versus Windows 8 that I would not encounter with Windows 7.
I enhance photos and create web sites for a living, so the CS4 installation is mission-critical. I am hoping I did not make a mistake in ordering a Win 8 machine...
Thanks for any and all insights.

OK, fair enough. Maybe someone who has actually experienced this situation (CS4 --> Win 8 machine) might see this and offer some tips to avoid hassles. But I will try the install as soon as I get the new machine and post any ensuing issues/problems here.
As for de-activation of the previous installation on the XP machine, that is now impossible, as the hard-drive is fried. Unless there is a way to de-activate an installation some other way (without actually opening the programs). That said, I AM able to access files on the fried harddrive, so if there is a specific file that controls de-activation, I could access it on the old machine. However, I may not be able to actually RUN said file on that machine, but can copy it to a stick and move it elsewhere. So, any thoughts on deactivation of an installation on a deceased computer?

Multi-monitor issue with CS4?

Hi; I'm running a Mac with the following specs:
3 x 30" ACD
MacPro 2,8 Ghz Quad
2x ATI Radon 2600 XT graphics cards (2 screens attached to 1 card; 1 screen to the other card)
I've encountered after the switch from CS3 to CS4 the following issue:
Whenever I try to use the new Bridge Review function using one of the the screens sharing one graphics card I just get a grey screen.
If I move the bridge window to the solely attached screen it works.
Is that an issue of CS4 or is just the throughput of the second graCard providing 2 monitors not sufficient.
Thanks t.

T,
There are known issues with using more than one graphics card which Apple has not truly resolved. You may want to browse some of the threads in the Adobe Photoshop Macintosh forum.
In addition, you should know that Photoshop and Bridge cannot really take advantage of more than one graphic card.

This bit of information in relation to GPU and OpenGL features and
limitations in Photoshop CS4 had totally escaped me until now. Though
it doesn't affect my setup, it might be of interest to others who may
have missed it too.
Excerpt from
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb404898
Q. Does Photoshop take advantage of dual-GPU display cards?
A. Not at this time.
Q. Why can't Photoshop take advantage of more than one display card?
A. When you move an image window between two monitors that are
each on a separate display card, the GPU attached to the second monitor
does not have access to the data necessary to accelerate drawing. The
SLI and Crossfire technologies that use more than one GPU to speed up
full-screen games will not work with Photoshop, because their use is
limited by design to accelerate only full-screen games.

Using Adobe PhotoShop CS4, I cannot add text to a new layer. It was always a snap with previous versions of OS 10. Has anyone else noticed issues with CS4 and Lion? Many thanks in advance. Pete Hendricks

Happy to report that iTunes Match has returned to working like normal on iTunes 10.7 on my computer today. If any iTunes engineers read this thread, I really appreciate the fix.
Has it returned to normal for you?

CS4 Workspace issue

The biggest, most annoying glitch I live with daily in Photoshop CS4 is the fact that my workspace will not stay the way I want it. I have it set up as follows: navigator & Info at the top, color & swatches next, Character & Paragraph next, History & Actions next, and Layers, Channels, & Paths at the bottom -- all lined up evenly on the right hand side of Photoshop.
Every time I "minimize" Photoshop, then open it up again, the Color/Swatches and History/Actions windows have stretched out much longer than I want them, and the Layers window has shrunk way down. This really sucks because I use the Layers windows the MOST, and rarely the History & Color Swatches windows. So every time I bring Photoshop back to open position from "minimized" position, I have to re-adjust my workspace windows.
Adobe recently released a Photoshop update, and I can't believe they didn't fix this. It happens on both my work computer, and my home computers.
Does anyone else have this problem?
My main question is, DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THIS HAS BEEN FIXED IN PHOTOSHOP CS5?
Coz if CS5 has the same problem, I'm definitely not going to buy the upgrade.
Thanks!!!

Just to add to the good advice above: Adobe doesn't need to fix anything because nothing's broken in the general case. Most people do find that Photoshop DOES remember their palette locations, etc. all the time. I haven't had Photoshop 'forget" my workspace for many versions now (I think CS was the last time I saw that happen). You either have some settings wrong or problems with your particular system or you're doing something specific that is causing this. Are you changing screen resolutions at any time?
Try dragging your palettes off of the "docked" position and see if that helps them stick.
Make sure once you have your workspace set up, and saved as a named workspace, that you close down Photoshop so that it remembers where everything is. Then restart Photoshop and hopefully it will remember from then on.
Make sure your operating system and video drivers are up to date with the latest updates.

Hyperion Workspace issue - Scrollbar Missing on Workspace 11.1.2.0.00

Hi EPM Experts,
I am having problems with the Workspaces scrollbars. They are vanishing without no reason.
Only temporary resolution is to restart the services, but it is recurring issue.
Any hints to FIX this issue will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Can you see the calculation manager service in services.msc, have you checked the logs under Oracle\Middleware\User_Projects\epmSystem1\dignostics\logs and\services?
I should have tried redeploying CalcManager and checked the configuration logs.
Cheers..!!!

Installation/uninstall issues between CS4 and CS5

I had CS4 installed. I purchased CS5 (downloaded it) installed that. When I got the disks via mail, I tried to install that version (disk version). I started having issues as to which program would open a .prproj file. Often the CS4 version of Premiere Pro opened. Not what I wanted. I eventually uninstalled CS5 entirely and then reinstalled. Then things were working fine. However, I then tried to uninstall CS4. (I have seen from numerous posts/comments to leave both on -- which I really don't know why. Doesn't make sense to keep both versions). I prefer not to have an extra 4GB of space used for programs I am no longer using. However, in doing so, the uninstall didn't appear to do a perfect job. And now I can't double-click a .prproj file. This icon is also blank white. I went into Set Associations and I can't assign .prproj to Premiere CS5. In looking at the Open With window, I notice that some of the icons for other Adobe programs are all splewy (Adobe Encore is using the CS4 icon, Adobe Illustrator is using the PDF icon, Flash Catalyst is using the Air icon, etc.)
I could: a) uninstall everything, including Adobe Acrobat Pro (which I had purchased and installed prior to CS4 or CS5) and then reinstall everything -- sheesh that would take a while; or b) I could ask my friends here to explain and guide me!

Hi Stix, Thanks.
I am not so positive that there is no difference between the download version vs the media version specifcially because in downloading the updates, the site demands you choose your update depending on how your software was installed. I figured that the download would be smaller. Perhaps you are right. And maybe it is the same, in either case, when I get a stack of disks, I tend to think there is more on the disk and the download version is merely the core applications.
Anyway, I had to uninstall everything CS4 and CS5 and then reinstall CS5. Oddly, this didn't automatically fix my problem. However, at least I was able to choose Premiere CS5 to open .prproj files and check off the box to use it as the default. (I wasn't able to before). So now it works!

CS3 DW Workspace Issues

I just upgraded from Dreamweaver Studio 8 to CS3. I'm not a
happy camper. I really don't see the advantages to this upgrade and
in fact I've been running into many stability issues.
Was wondering if anyone else is experiencing workspace screen
refresh issues. For example: moving cursor will reveal the
background color, changing a link style sheet does not update the
screen in the workspace, etc. Even doing a screen refresh does not
solve the issues.
I went back to using Dreamweaver 8 and these issues are not
in that version.
Thanks for any feedback or replies.

DW CS3 works like a charm for me. What OS are you using? Are
your

Design View Issue Dreamweaver CS4 - Taking forever to load design view

I am having an issue where my site takes literally almost a full day to load in design view. Once it is loaded everything works seemlessly but once I close down Dreamweaver and reopen it, I have to wait another day to get to design view of my site. All files open just fine in code view.
I have deleted the Dreamweaver CS4 cache folder, completely formatted my drive and reinstalled creative suite. I have also validated my code on W3c and everything checks out fine.
The majority of my site is based off of a template, but even when I remove all the template references in the html files from Notepad I am still having the same issue. My site renders fine and quickly however on Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari.
When loading any other site off the web into Dreamweaver I do not run into the problem so there must be something wrong with how my site is set up. Either the Template file is no good or somewhere else I am falling short. Can someone, please, please, please ( I am begging) help me figure out what is going on here.
My index file is located at - http://www.thebluedot.net/index.html and the template file is located at - http://www.thebluedot.net/Templates/index.dwt
I have searched high and low and even made a post on this same topic about a month ago but never came up with a resolution to my issue. I had given up on finding a solution to this problem for some time, but I really need to figure out where I am going wrong here!
Additional Details -
I am running - Windows Vista Ultimate on a Core 2 Processor with 12 GB of Ram & Solid State Hard Drive. Everything on my system runs super smoothly except loading my site in Dreamweaver CS4 design view.
I really appreciate any help you can provide.

I have used CS2 Adobe GoLive to create and manage a website (pro-prosperity.com). Now, I have CS4 Dreamweaver. I got a new site set up on Dreamweaver using the site management facility. I then have the contents of website available locally on Dreamweaver. I can edit files. But the main home page, index.html, is not displaying on design view mode for editing, although it displays everything on live view mode. I have struggled for days and am not getting any difference in attributes of index.html and another .html that is displaying fine on design view and is editable.
I am really lost and am begging for any help. Can you, for example, copy the home page from pro-prosperity.com and display on design view and edit it? Please tell me what is in this file that is troublesome. Thanks.
The first thing you should do is to make sure that this feature is turned on (it's off by default):
View > Code View Options > Highlight Invalid Html
It's not perfect, but it will notify you of some problems. In Code View, there are many problems highlighted. Some of them don't make sense, but are triggered because of a problem with a parent tag.
Be sure to make a backup copy of your file before doing the next step. Close your page. Go to Preferences > Code Rewriting, and turn on "Fix invalidly nested and unclosed tags", "Remove extra closing tags", and "Warn when fixing or removing tags". Click OK, then re-open your page. The messages in the dialog to tell you what was changed. This allowed me to see your page in Design View (I am using CS5).
Note: I suggested that you reset your preferences to turn off those 3 settings as they can cause problems with some markup.
In the long term, I suggest that you avoid nesting tables wherever possible.
Hope this helps,
Randy

Table alignment issues InDesign CS4

Hi,
Can anybody help me on the following issues in InDesign CS4.
We have an table which has 50 rows and 23 columns. All the cell contents is in the number format (example: 56.90) and are aligned on decimal point (dot alignment).
Also, the table content has XML tags.
When we export the table as PDF, we have the issues that the table column texts are not aligned (dot aligned) properly in the exported PDF file.
We used the default "High Quality Print" InDesign PDF preset settings but without "Create Tagged PDF" option enabled to export the PDF. In this PDF, the columns texts are not aligned (dot align) properly. It look likes zig zag. (Please see the below image which is not aligned properly)
But when we enabled the "Create Tagged PDF" option in the preset, then there is no issues in the column text alignment.
Is this bug in InDesign CS4 application. Please suggest.
Thanks,
Gopal

It's hard for me to see a problem. I don't see a problem in the illustration you provided. It looks aligned to me.
Also, it sounds like you found a workaround for your problem (turning on Create Tagged Text).
But, even if there were a bug in CS4, you'd have to find a workaround anyway since there won't be any bug fixes for CS4.

Palette issues InDesign CS4

Hi,
I have justy installed CS4 on our office machines. On some of them, when you open a palette all palettes open. tries binnig the preferences but no success. Can anyone help?
Thanks
Stephen

They're probably in panel groups.
If you click on the double arrow, it'll open the whole panel group. If
they are collapsed to icons, clicking on an icon will open that
specific panel.
If you don't want them grouped, break the panel groups apart. You can
also save workspaces...

Contribute 6.5 can not ftp after years of no issues with CS4 and CS5

The problem
Contribute 6.5 can not connect via ftp using settings that formerly worked (and still do) in CS4 and CS5.
How we ended up here
I am the administrator website where
Our content editors have been using Contribute CS 4 and Contribute CS 5 without issue, 6+ years.
We are trying to upgrade to CS 6.5 to better support HTML5 markup now used within the site.
When attempting to configure a website connection in 6.5, Contribute alerts:
"Contribute cannot find the website files on the server. Please contact the website's administrator for assistance."
After closing the dialog box the failed connection is removed from contributes website connection list.
We have a shared hosting account and utilize ftp to publish changes.
Server is Win2008 with IIS 7.5
Again it's shared hosting, so read/write ftp are scoped to our account's directory.
We attempted this on serveral pcs including on a PC with a fresh install of Windows 7.
We can still connect successfully via ftp with CS4, CS5, dreamweaver, and Filezilla.
Which is why I believe this to be a Contribute 6.5 issue.
I've attempted the following troubleshooting articles:
Use network I/O logging to log operations, identify problems
I compared the I/O logging for both CS5 and CS 6.5 which both appear to log the same diagnostic steps.
Contribute FTP Server Checker (quite dated)
All successes reported. No failures.
Troubleshooting a Connection CS4 (linked from with CS 6.5's help UI)
As indicated above, alternate FTP clients have no issue.
This appears to be similar issue to the following posts:
5301620 - HELP - FTP Connection Error with Contribute 6.5
5907180 - Contribute 6.5 can no longer connect to sites ...
Unfortunately, there has been no solutions posted on either of these threads.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I can PM the network I/O log details if there is adobe staff who can get them in the right hands.
(Again the logs only show successes.)

@Zaldomoh
Have you found a solution or been given assistance from Adobe to resolve this issue? I'm having the same problem (CS 6.5 ftp'ing to a shared hosting enviroment). Details of our situation can be found on thread 1384686
