<p>Same error here!</p>
<p>and here. Why does this happen? Well The Deadline is friday but still I want to submit it today.</p>
<p>i must submit all my stuff toay!!but the stupid 4133 error!!!!</p>
<p>Omg, it's happening to you guys too? I have to submit all my stuff BY TODAY too! urgghh..</p>
<p>I actually had that problem last night even, and all I did was log out of Common App, exit out of my browser, wait a while, and try again. Seemed to work alright, but today could be different I suppose.</p>
<p>Thank you for your message. We apologize for the inconvenience and we'll contact you once the issue is resolved.</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>The Support Team</p>
<p>Hopefully they'll get it done really soon. T__T</p>
<p>Okay problem solved. I was able to save and submit everything.</p>
<p>I've worked as a professional web application developer for several years.</p>
<p>Even if you missed a deadline because of an issue like this, there is probably evidence in log files kept by the web server that you attempted to submit the supplement and it failed. In a worst-case scenario, this would prove that you missed the deadline through no fault of your own.</p>
<p>It's still probably better to try again every couple of hours until it works. These problems are often sporadic. Also, they know people have December 31 deadlines and will call someone in to fix it, even if it's a holiday.</p>
<p>someone said,
"Its weird, but I think I figured out a way to get the uploading to work...</p>
<p>Go to an app you haven't submitted yet. If you've already uploaded an essay, then reupload the essay over it (don't delete it)</p>
<p>Then the upload magically starts working o__o;;"</p>
