Can't open files directly from file server (MAVERICKS)

since updating to Mavericks earlier today i have had the below problem
I use a file server at work to access all my work files. i have no problem accessing the servers but when i try and when I double click to open a file (excel, word, pdf, etc) it says "the application cant be found"
when Ihave the application open and i open the same file from within the application (file > open) it works fine. I just cannot open files directly from the file server by double clicking.
in previous versions there have been no problems with this,
any help would be great,

Same issue here; I hadn't related it to upgrading to the latest OS 10.9.2. I've shutdown and restared multiple times. I've also rebuilt permissions on my hard drive as I thought it was the Finder but files on my local HD open file. Off the server, I cannot double-click or even drag to the dock. Files open fine if I open the app first then browse to find the file.

Can not create .PDF directly from file

I just reinstalled Acrobat 9 (9.5) to a new computer. I cannot create a PDF directly from a Word or OpenOffice document. When I look at the "convert to" or "convert from" tab the file extensions are not listed. I was able to do this before. I tried repair installation with no luck. How do I fix this?

Does anyone have idea?

Can't open pdfs direct from firefox, have to save it and then open with reader.

cant' open firefox pdfs direct
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about the last time there was an upgrade

Hi Nikoo,
Are you opening the PDF files in Reader or Acrobat (or in a web browser)? If you open in Reader, there are different options on the Tools panel from what you see in Acrobat. If you need to edit a PDF file, make sure that you open it Acrobat.
Best,

Can't open multi-page illustrator file

I'm on a mac. I have Illustrator CC. I'm trying to open a multi-page .ai file, and I get the dialogue that usually happens when you're trying to open a non-illustrator multi-page pdf. :
here's a screenshot:
http://grab.by/yNEg
when I do a get info on the file, it says Saved As v.15 Created by v.15.0.0
How can I open this file and get all the artboards without running a script? I want to retain all the text formatting.
thanks!

That usually happens when files get corrupted and only the PDF part of the file is still intact.
Did you perhaps save it directly to or open it directly from a server?

I can't open a jpg file directly from an Outlook email attachment into Photoshop CC.

When I try to open a jpg file directly from an Outlook email attachment into Photoshop CC I get this error message " Photyoshop CC.exe - Entry Point not found" with this string:

I don't think I have ever been able to open an image directly from Outlook into Photoshop. What you can do, is drag from outlook to desktop, and then from desktop into Photoshop. Or, if seeing the windows at the same time is a problem, drag onto desktop, then minimise everything, and drag onto the Photoshop icon (if you have a Photoshop shortcut on your desktop).

How come I can no longer open a file direct from Lightroom 4 to PS 5.1??

I use to be able to open a RAW file directly from Lightroom to PS, make my edits and then have the edited file resaved to Lightroom but no longer. Why?

Hi Ryan,
Would suggest you to try the suggestions mentioned here. Lightroom: Edit In External Editor does not work/function
Also, make sure your Lightroom and Photoshop both are up-to-date.
Cheers!

Error. your computer must be running a supported version of Microsoft Visio and a browser that supports opening files directly from Visio Web Access.

I have the following inside my SharePoint server 2013 :-
EnterPrise Wiki site collection.
i have both "Excel services Application "& "Visio Graphics Service" running correctly.
The problem i am facing is as follow:-
when a user click on an Excel sheet or Visio document , it will be shown inside the browser without any problem.
but if the user click on "Open in Visio" OR "Open in Excel" links inside the browser, they will get the following errors:-
Sorry, but to open this workbook, your computer must be running a supported version of Microsoft Excel and a browser that supports opening files directly from Office Web Apps.
To open this document, your computer must be running a supported version of Microsoft Visio and a browser that supports opening files directly from Visio Web Access.
I have the following settings inside my PC:-
Office 2010 for Excel, word, power point,etc.
Visio 2013.
i have disabled SharePoint foundation support for office 2013
Can anyone advice on this please?

Hi,
Please try to reset the Internet Explorer settings or open Internet Explorer in In-Private browsing and then check if this issue occurs.
If the issue persists, please try to access SharePoint in another computer with Office 2013 and then check if this issue occurs. Or repair Office and restart your server.
Here is a blog about the same issue for you to take a look at:

How to edit files directly from server?

I'm new to dreamweaver (CS5) and I'm really lost when it comes to editing files directly in remote servers.
When you add a new site, you have to select a Local Site Folder. I dont mind that html editor saves auto backups to my computer, but I really dont want to download files from the server, edit them and upload them back to the server. In my work I always edit files directly over SFTP servers.
After spending time configuring DW, I can now connect to the remote server, edit a file and save it to the server (I know that really the files are automatically downloaded to my pc and sent back when saved). The only problem with this is that everytime I open a file from server, I get this annoying prompt "Do you wish to overwrite your local copy of [FILE]?"
How can I disable this for good, or is the dreamweaver just not the right tool to edit files directly from servers?

Again, if you are doing it the easy way, you don't download files from the server to edit them.
Always edit local files. Then upload them.
When you open Dreamweaver, your Files panel should be showing Local View, NOT Remote View. That way you are working with local files.
The way you're doing it here's what happens:
1. You doubleclick a file in the Files panel (Remote View)
2. Dreamweaver connects to your server and MUST download the file and related content (because the software IS NOT installed on the server and you CANNOT edit there)
3. When the file is downloaded, Dreamweaver asks if you wish to overwrite the local file because when you save it before putting the file back, your OS will not allow two files of the same name in the same location and the file MUST be saved before you can put it back.
4. You then put the file to the server, overwriting the original file.
All of that can be avoided by simply opening THE LOCAL FILE and editing it. Then you put it to the server, and overwrite the original with the edited file.
"What if someone else modifies a file on the server after I saved it, when I open and edit a local file, wont I just replace it when I upload it?"
If multiple people have access to the same files on the server, you NEED to have collaboration software so that when a change is made it can be saved by EVERYONE who has access to the site. Something like LiveCycle.
Without that your site will be a mess in no time because six different people (or more) will have six different copies of six different sites locally and they will all be working on it at the same time and it will end up like a Three Stooges movie where Larry, Curly and Moe are all cooking dinner and each adds the same ingredients at different times.

Open Photos directly from server, edit, can't save back. Inconsistent.

Server is Dual 2.3ghz, with 6 gigs RAM, XRAID with Raid 5 for 2.5 TB. We have artists who are opening photos into Photoshop CS2, using Mac 10.4.4 clients on server that happens to be running 10.4.3 (plan to update it tonight). Edit the photos and do a "Save" or "Save As" and 75% of the time they get an error message saying "don't have right access." Now this user has write access based on the group. Permissions is Standard Behavior inherited by the group so we don't worry about Posix ownership problems when others drop in folders. The user can drag and drop and never have issue. It is only when saving. Now I know that Adobe doesn't support opening any file opened directly from a server on any of their products (ie. won't troubleshoot multiple network and or file services). This doesn't happen with any other app. 25% of time no problem. So it is Server or Photoshop?

Here is my two cents on this issue. It appears that Photoshop does some of its own permissions checking instead of just relying on the OS.
Here is the situation I see and how I make photoshop work right. I have ACLs set up on my share to allow access for the correct groups. When a file is created by a user, lets say 'joeuser' it gets created as such
-rw-r--r-- + 1 joeuser group 724482 Feb 12 16:20 file.psd
Notice that the posix group doesn't have write access. At this point if 'janeuser' tries to open and edit file.psd in Photoshop she will not be able to save, even though my ACLs give her write access.
Now if I run:
chmod g+w file.psd
Photoshop will allow janeuser to save that file as long as she is a member of 'group'.
The short version is that Photoshop seems to ignore ACLs, then tell you the file is locked.

Safari opening linked .zip files directly from DVD instead of downloading

Dear all,
Safari opening linked .zip files directly from DVD (via Windows explorer) instead of downloading it tru browser click - it's working just fine in FF, Chrome IE. Is this a known issue? or something can be done by modifying browser setting/pref.
Expecting more advise on this.
Configurations: Windows XP
Safari: 5.1.7
Note: ensured there is no space in the file path, just linked the .zip file using href attribute!
Also tried with .xls, .doc insted of .zip same issue appearing.
Thanks in advance,

Hi
appzapper & such are pretty flaky at removing things usefully, imo.
Use the uninstaller for speed download - http://www.yazsoft.com/products/speed-download/faqs/?how-to-un-install-speed-dow nload-properly
or get a hold of FindAnyFile or easyfind & search for Growl & Speeddownload & yazsoft - but from all I hear, the uninstaller works fine.
Failing that, Safari's settings plist file isn't in caches
Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.safari.plist
is the place
& if you're still stuck, test & maybe download another browser using a New User Account.

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen!
My question concerns the impossibility to open RAW-files directly from the program Adobe Bridge. At the moment when you open a RAW-file from Adobe Bridge by double-clicking, RAW-file is opened only in Photoshop. In the settings Adobe Bridge - in "open RAW-files by double-clicking in Adobe Camera Raw» box is checked. When you try any changes in the settings Adobe Bridge system displays a message:
Bridge's parent application is not active. Bridge requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature.
The entire line of Adobe products on my computer updated to the latest updates. Previously, a family of products Adobe Photoshop on your computer is not set. Computer - PC, Windows 7 Enterprises.
