How do I keep InCopy file from losing formatting after editing assignment in InDesign?

Writers have created assignments from an InCopy template built with paragraph styles, character styles and a text area width.
Designers are importing these assignments into an InDesign template that uses the same paragraph styles and character styles.
But if an imported assignment is edited in InDesign and then reopened in InCopy, the InCopy file only keeps the used paragraph styles and character styles and loses all others along with the fixed text area width that was created in the template?
Which I don't want, how do I resolve this?
Thanks!
Btw, I am currently using InDesign CS5 and writers are using trial for InCopy CS6.

(screenname was defaulted to my adobe.com login? should be fixed now...)
John,
Tried your idea to used InDesign cs6 with InCopy cs6 and it didn't work, gave me the same results from InDesign cs5 to InCopy cs6
Bob,
That would be more of a work around than a solution for me...i would still like to be able to see my original formating in InCopy, what it currently does is pointless if i've created a template...or at least it would be nice if it actually adapted my InDesign layout into the layout view...
Are you the same Bob Levine from http://www.theindesignguy.com/? I came across your website the other day...I have been looking for a publishing solution that would make things more efficient between the designers, writers and our website..hence the InCopy trial...which we may consider adopting the vjoon K4 Cross-Media Publishing Platform...but I'd rather use a CMS system that would speak directly to InDesign & our website (minus InCopy)... Do you offer any solution?
Thanks to both of you for your help...but would anyone have an answer?

Is there anyone that can help me to restore my files back? The inner files are really important to me. Help, please!

Well! If you really know little about data recovery stuff, I think I could help.
Actually, after you Google “data recovery tools” on the internet, you could see plenty of data recovery tools available online. Some of them are free, some of them are not. You should put much more attention to this point and make a wise
decision according to your won needs.

How can I keep PDF files from closing spontaneously?

When I open a PDF file in Adobe reader it closes spontaneously in about 6 seconds. How can I fix that?

I've also been having the problem of spontaneously closing PDFs, since installing Reader XI. The problem is not systematic. Sometimes PDFs do not open at first attempt but do eventually open after two, three or four tries, then spontaneously close after anywhere from one second to several minutes to an hour (while I am annotating them). The files seem to stablise after some period of working on them. Some files do not crash at all.
I thought it might be embedded links to a server in India that cause the problem, until I had the same thing happen with a PDF I was looking at as a result of a web search. It does not happen with old PDFs, saved to my disc before Reader XI.
No one yet has been able to diagnose the problem...

App or podcast downloaded to iphone is deleted from iphone and transferred to iTunes 11. How can I keep the file from being deleted from the iPhone?

I recently updated iTunes from version 10.x to 11. In version 10, I could download a podcast or an app to my iPhone from the app store, then the app or podcast would co COPIED to iTunes during a sync. Now with version 11, when I sync, the app or podcast is deleted from my iPhone and MOVED to iTunes. How can I get back the old feature of making a copy? This is a very dumb thing that happens in iTunes and I can not believe that I am the only one to complain abou this. Please help me. What do I need to change in iTunes to keep my copy on the iPhone.
Thanks to all you geniouses out there!

Not 100% sure of your question. If you are wanting to delete apps from itunes just right click then delete then empty recycle bin.

My nano is fully charged and when I use the earphones it comes with, the nano stops playing my music after a few seconds and turns off. But when I use another earphone, it's okay and stays on. How do I keep the nano from turning off after a few seconds?

Why does my nano keep turning off after a few seconds while I'm listening to my music? It's fully charged and brand new.

I've tried everything in the article "Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista and Windows 7 video playback performance issues''. Here are my results.
My computer meets the requirements.
All software (Windows, iTunes and QuickTime) are up to date.
As for updating my drivers, I found nothing labeled 'Video'. The closest thing I found in Computer/Manage/Device Manager was to click + next to 'Display Adapters' under that I found 'Intel (R) HD Graphics Family' which I right-cicked. From the menu, instead of 'Properties', I selected 'Update Driver Software...', then I selected 'Search Automatically for updated driver software'. I saw the messages "Searching for Software... Searching online for Software... The best driver software for your device is already installed. Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date." I got these same messages when I searched for updated audio drivers.
My computer is already at the highest display resolution. (1366 x 768 recommended) That's as high as my resolution will go. Hmm, I noticed the article's example shows '(1920 x1080 recommended)'. Is my max 1366 x 768 resolution high enough?
As for QuickTime, deselecting 'Enable Direct3D video acceleration' had no effect. Disabling the DirectX entirely (Safe mode (GDI only)) allowed the audio to play, but there was no video, only a black screen.
As for turning on DMA, the only item under 'IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers' is 'Intel Mobile Express Chipset SATA AHCI Controller' So I right-clicked, selected 'Properties'. There's no 'Advanced Settings' tab in there. The tabs are 'General, Drivers, Details, Resources' no 'Advanced Settings' anywhere. So much for that.
'Readyboost' was already set at 'Do not use'.
No 'NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA (SATA) controllers' exist in my computer.
The problem still exists. Please help.

How do you keep junk mail from appearing even after I have hit the "junk" button when it appeared the first time?

I have several email accounts that come to my mac. When junk appears I hit the junk button. Does it take awhile to train the junk or is there a way to set up mail so that it automatically goes to junk and does not appear at all in my inbox?
It's so time consuming to get rid of this stuff.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Grammynancy

Hello, it does take time to train it.
You can setup rules if there's any constancy, like I find that 99.999% of mail from yahoo is junk, so I have a Rule setup to just get rid of it permanently, I never see them at all...
But you could have it be If Subject contains Ciagra, Perform the following functions, Mark as Junk... or whatever.

How do I keep my installer from trying to update with Photoshop instead of installer? Quark can't update because the installer opens Photoshop which doesn't recognize the file and I'm not given the option to choose anything else.

1. Sync wasn't intended to be used in that manner. You would be better off carrying around a USB Flash Stick with Portable Firefox for use on "strange" PC's.
2. You could open the "Library" {Ctrl + Shift + B} and highlight all those bookmarks and then delete them all at once. But that would also delete all the other bookmarks, and it isn't foolproof. All another person would need to do it to '''''restore''''' a bookmark backup file that has your bookmarks. Beyond that, a new Profile could be created and then the current Profile deleted; but that's "messing with" someone else's computer - an action that is worthy of terminating a friendship over, IMO.
And if that "public" computer was set up properly, Sync should have been disabled.

How do I keep the music from my old 1st gen mini and put it on my new ipod touch without loosing it. the computer I used to load the mini was stolen quite some time ago????

How do I keep my music from my old 1st gen ipod mini when the computer that I originally loaded it with was stolen more than 5 years ago and transfer all the music onto my new ipod touch? My fear has always been that plugging my mini into another computer and attempting to download more music onto it or take what's on there off will end up erasing all of it because of file sharing regs. I would really prefer not to have to repurchase several hundred dollars of music as many of the original cd's that I used to download have been either lost or damaged over the years. Is there anything I can do????

How to run standalone java file from weblogic server on Solaris

Hi,
We have a requirement to run a java file at a scheduled time in a day using cron scheduler on our linux server.
We need to fetch data from the database & perform some business logic in this standalone JAVA file.
Our application has an EAR which is deployed on Weblogic 10.3 server & in our application, we are utilizing the datasource created in that domain.
Now, we have created a standealone Java file & used exisitng datasource (without Hibernate) of the domain with the help of below forums,
Use DataSource of weblogic in a standalone Java file
able to achieve the same.
I've bundled this JAVA in application WAR & depoyed on the same domain where datasource is created.
Now, how can I execute this file from anywhere on the server using weblogic classpath.
Please help on the same in implementation.
Thanks,
Uttam

If the Java application must be stand-alone you must not deploy it on WebLogic, then WebLogic will manage its lifecycle.
In this case you can use the CommonJ API and use the timermanager if it must run on a certain time. More information
of how to do this can be found here: http://middlewaremagic.com/weblogic/?p=5569
If you keep the Java application stand-only and want to use a cron job you can follow the example presented here: http://middlewaremagic.com/weblogic/?p=7065
Note that the example runs a WLST script, but you can follow the same steps to run your Java application.

Re: How do I keep an application from being started morethan once?

Here are some quick ideas. None of them should be too hard to implement,
although each has some drawbacks.
1. Have a login server track who is logged on, and if there is already a
logon for a given user or a given machine, then deny the application
startup. The nice thing about this is that a user will not be able to have
multiple logins even by going to another machine. Then again, this may not
be so nice, and you also get a possible single point of failure on the
login server for which you will have to prepare.
2. Drop to the operating system, and get a list of processes for the client
machine. If the name of one of them matches the name of application that
is being run, then deny startup. This avoids a network hit, but requires
some OS specific code. Also, a clever user could change the name of an
executable to get around this. Note that a user could have another login
on another machine.
3. Write to a file on the local machine. You can hide the file in some
suitable place, and can also scramble some information so that a user
cannot get around having this file present by reading from the file at
startup and then writing to it. Based on the state of your application,
the file will have some scrambled information indicating if an instance of
an application can be started. If you retain the write lock (i.e. do not
close) the file for the duration of the application, you increase your
security at the risk of a confused user if the application gets terminated
without releasing the lock. Depending on the OS where the client will run,
this could be an issue. If you like this option, perform some experiments
first on all configurations of an example client machine to determine the
behavior. Again, this only works to prevent an extra login on a single
machine, not system wide.
If you are not concerned about your users hacking around too much and don't
care about a login on another machine, I would opt for some version of
number 3. Otherwise, I would venture number 1.

Yet another quick and dirty solution is to use local ExternalConnections.
This is a single instance per machine solution.
Example is attached.

Subject: Re: How do I keep an application from being started more than

Martin,
there are two ways to read your question
(a) no more than one instance of an application per machine
(b) no more than one instance of an application per "user"
now if a user has only one machine, and your system has "userids" and you
only want
one active "session" per "user" then the distinction is irrelevant.
However, many systems
let people share logins, so a token based thing enforcing one login will be
problematic.
The downside of #1 approach suggested by Curtis happens when a machine gets
hosed without "logging" the user off the security system, then they can't
get in until their ticket expires or a sysadmin gets involved. Should be
manageable, however. But this enforces one application
instance per user, unless you check both for the presence of an active
token for that user as well as the presence of a token tied to that
particular node name. Otherwise there is nothing to prevent the same user
from launching the app again and logging in as a different user. This is
definitely the best approach of the bunch, and can be adapted for either
(a) or (b).
Suggestion # 2 won't work unless the application is built as a compiled
client,
since the process name will be 'ftexec' and not the "name" of the
application. And it doesn't
prevent a user from launching the app from a different machine (or people
sharing logins). So again it depends on what you are trying to achieve.
#3 also only prevents multiple instances per machine, not necessarily by
user. Of course
most people don't have multiple machines. The point is that you may be
trying to
prevent your users from sharing logins. In which case the file thing won't
do it.
Some other ideas:
1. You could, however, enforce one application per machine using the
installed partition agent's ExecutingPartition instrument name. As long as
the user doesn't run the app in a different environment, you can have the
app check at startup time if there is another
ActivePartition running under the same InstalledPartition name.
(ActivePartitions are child agents
of InstalledPartitions).
2. use the ObjectLocationManager and bind a simple object into the naming
system using a naming scheme such as
/MyApplication/MyNode or
/MyApplication/MyUserId
the presence of either one would indicate that another instance of that
application is running on either that machine or that user. Of course
these have to be cleaned out, and subject to similar downside as
alternative #1. So you'd essentially be using the forte naming system as a
distributed lock manager (ouch).
3. Have the application remove the shortcut to launch it upon startup, and
recreate it when it is finished, or move it to a hidden place. There it
is - the worst idea I've ever come up with. Don't
do this!

John

How do i back up files from mac to external harddrive

how do I back up files from mac to external harddrive not using time machine?

First format the external as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Connect via Firewire.
If it is just a few files or folders you want to back up you can just drag and drop. Or you can use SyncTwoFolders to keep the backups up to date.
If you want to back up your entire start-up disk use SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner, both of which can make a bootable clone of your entire start-up drive.
You can Google for the download sites of these applications, or search here:

IF it is opening in import mode:
Do you have an external drive or device (iPhone, USB key) plugged into iPhoto? If so, there are some photo files on it that make iPhoto think it has photos to import. Remove the device, delete the photos or move the photos to another folder on the device.
If it is not openeing in import mode, it must be in your startup items. Drag it from there.
