InDesign CC Saving issues

When working on a InDesign file a user is unable to save the file to the network or my desktop. Also, if the file is able to save it reverts back to the original state it was in when the file was opened and the user loses all their work. Is there a fix or solution to this problem?
This seems like the issue is spreading to more and more users. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Mylenium,
Thanks for the quick response. The Computer and File information are below.
Computer Info:
iMac 12,2
Intel Core i5 @ 2.7 GHz
24 GB RAM
OS X 10.9.3
InDesign Information:
The user is saving to a network location, but even saving to the local disk has the same issue where it basically undoes all the edits after the file was opened or cannot save at all.
What the user does in the file itself:
Text Changes, Copying Text from another file and pasting it. Other Simple revisions.
We just reinstalled InDesign to see if that will alleviate the issue but hoping there was a more definitive answer as to why this is happening or how to prevent it from happing.
Let me know if you need more information.

Ultrabeat Saving Issues

Greetings,
I did a bit of searching on this and other forums, but found very little on this subject. When saving Ultrabeat presets, sometimes the sample OSC has none loaded and sometimes, it loads a completely different drum (Taiko for example). Has anyone else commonly seen this error within Ultrabeat? I noticed that this only happened with my previous custom template, "pre" Time Machine + Airport Update. Also, I noticed that if my template already has an Ultrabeat loaded on Logic Startup, the same weird bug happens again.
In short: Does anyone else have Ultrabeat preset saving issues, and if so, what did you do to work around it?
I know this problem is elsewhere on this forum, and somewhat forgotten, but I want to start fresh on this topic, and hopefully get to the bottom of this.

We can only hope that Apple solves this issue as well. But when you think about it, where do they begin with so many problems to address?
The Apples will need all the luck and coffee this side of the World. I don't even know what to expect from their ever so popular "update". I'm calling apple today, but they'll tell me the same thing they always say......which is not much.
Oh well, less crying, more producing.

Numbers saving issue

This message pops up about every 10 minutes. Can you tell me how to correct the issue?
I'm running a MacBook Pro v 10.9.2 and Numbers v 3.2.
The Numbers spreadsheet is on my local hard drive and no one else is using it.

This Numbers document has always been in my Documents folder. But I copied it to my Desktop, then moved it back and I have the same "Saveing Issue" as shown above. It is really hard to believe that anyone using Numbers does not have this problem.

Day light Saving Issue

Hi,
I am facing an issue with Date and Time objects. This looks something to do with the daylight-saving (UK).
I have a date field in the database where a date is saved with time as 00:00:00, say for example 23/01/1999 00:00:00
Upon querying and getting the result set, I am getting the Date and Time objects using rs.getDate() and rs.getTime().
Date is obtained correcting as 23/01/1999 and the Time object is 00:00:00. But when I do a getTime() on Time object
to get the milliseconds, it returns as -3600000 which is an hour back. This is causing an issue here.
Can someone please suggest me if this is a daylight saving issue as we have moved ahead by 1 hour here in UK.
Or is this issue fixed in any of the latest jdk, I am using jdk1.5.0_12?
Many Thanks

Hi,
Please find the below code. Consider the date stored in the db is 23/01/1999 00:00:00
         Date dateValue = rs.getDate (COLUMN_NAME);
         if (dateValue != null)
               dateValue = new Date(dateValue.getTime() + rs.getTime (COLUMN_NAME).getTime());
         }Here, the dateValue obtained in line 1 is right which is 23/01/1999. Also rs.getTime (COLUMN_NAME) gives the time as 00:00:00 which is correct.
But when I do a getTime() on it to get the milliseconds it returns -3600000 which is one hour back.
So finally when i add the date milliseconds and time milliseconds to get a new date value, it goes back one hour because of the -ve value. In this case since time is 0, going back one hour will switch the date back by one day. Hence the dateValue which I get after executing this code is 22/01/1999 23:00:00 which is wrong.
Could you please help me on this?

Excel saving issues error: Someone else is working right now, please try again later"

Excel saving issues error: Someone else is working right now, please try again later"
I am running W8.1 with Office 2013 and accessing a shared drive, When I try to save an excel document back to the shared drive - I get the error msg
"Someone else is working in "servername\share\filename" right now, please try again later"
I can see that there is no one else accessing this file at all. I created a brand new file, added content, saved and got the same error.
When I use a W7 with Office 2013 accessing the same share drive, accessing the same file - I am able to save the document without issues.
Does anyone have any ideas what this could be. Both of these situations are while working from home using a company vpn connection. It does not happen when in the office using either W8.1 or W7.
Peter.

Hi,
Saves when saving locally. Its looking more like W8.1 on a VPN connection that is causing the issue. What can I look for
I mean you can try to save it to local drive(like drive c:) and then copy it to shared drive.
If you gain the access to the shared file server, you can check the file status when you open this file.
Also you can check your event log to see which process causes this error.
Since I'm not familiar with VPN, I'd suggest you post your issue to the following forum:

Illustrator CC Command and Saving Issues

HI,
My colleagues and I updated to Illustrator CC this week. We were hoping that the upgrade may fix an issue we have(in a seperate thread) and while it hasn't fixed it, it does seem to have created a couple more bugs as follows:
1. Certain commands such as cut, group/ungroup, zoom etc.. dont seem to work all the time by using the keyboard shortcuts. If I try a command and it doesnt work, I need to scroll the page over using the mouse slightly and then the command seems to work for a few moments. Sometimes I am needing to do this 3 or 4 times in one job which can get quite infuriating.
2. Sometimes when after openeing a file and adjusting the artwork, it is not giving the option to save(it is grayed out and the keyboard command doesnt work) and the file can only use 'Save As'
Stangley it doesnt seem to be happening on all our machines, we have 5 Macs running CC and only 2 have the Command Shortcut issues and only 1 seems to have the saving issue
Has anyone else had either of these issues or are aware of them? If so do you know of a solution or reason to the problems.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

Indesign CS6 Font issue after saving

I have had this issue come up about about 4 times since I have been running CS6.
When I open a customers document everything is fine no errors. I save it the same way I do the rest of the 30 jobs a day. When I re open the fonts will not load. If I open the customers document again it is fine and all fonts work, this cause problems because all of th changes that have been done need to be redone, because the only way I have found to fix this is to save over it with a new copy of the customers files.
I am running CS^ creative suite on a intel 27" iMac OS 10.7.3
The file is being saved to a prinergy job server not sure what version of server software that is running. We have at least 30 jobs sometimes over 45 indesign jobs a day getting processed and it only seems to be a couple. I tried restarting indesign then the computer but no luck. If I have my troubled document open and the find font window open it shows that there are fonts not available, I then open the customers document and everythign is fine. With both documents open at the same time I can toggle between them and see the fonts are there for 1 but not the other.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you working with a Packaged file? If so, the problem is probably that youare moving the file out of the directory that holds the Document Fonts folder that is part of the package, or saving with a new name.

InDesign CS6 - Exporting Issues, PDF being sent to Photshop and saving as a psd rather than the requested pdf? Please help!

Hi
I have an issue in InDesign CS6. It has been happening the last couple of days now.
When i export to pdf. regardless of quality instead of being saved as a pdf it is being sent to Photoshop which then saves the file as a psd...
I have updated InDesign to the latest CS6 update which helped the issue yesterday but today the same problem is back. Help please what could be the problem and how do I fix it?
Any advice is very appreciated.
Thanks
Sam

ExportPDF is a subscription service for exporting PDF files into Word and Excel, from Adobe Reader. I suspect you need the InDesign forum, as InDesign is the product here.

InDesign file saving and exporting S-L-O-W.

I am a designer using the InDesign/InCopy layout workflow. After my last post things were working pretty good for awhile. But now it is taking more than an hour to save over the network. I tried putting everything in the same folder on the network (links and all) and it still took me more than an hour just to relink a placed InCopy story. I am going mad. A week overdue for my first draft and I can't do anything. So today I decided to just use the package workflow to speed things up. However it still takes as long to create assignments even after I have saved the InDesign file and links to my desktop.
Is there any possibility this is caused by using the last document and saving as new name? Even if I have unlinked all assignments and stories first?
I've tried saving as an inx file but I lock up.
Thanks for your help in advance,
Holly

It turns out that is the issue. AnneMarie, were you able to find the other thread? I thought my problem was solved by deleting the random 40,000+ lines of garbage using a text edit program. But the random lines are re-generated each time I save the file in indesign. My IT Manager thinks it has to do with the InCopy plugin. In analyzing the 'garbage lines', here is what we do know. Each time a body of text is saved using the InCopy plugin, it is generating 62 unique id's of random URLs, and multiplies those id's 657 times...thus creating 40,000+ lines of garbage that bogs down the file. The urls are not used anywhere in my Indesign file, so we can't figure how the plugin is gaining access to the URLs to generate them.
We tested it on a brand new block of text in the file that had never been exported as an Incopy file (working off the desktop the whole time) - and the resulting .icml file still had similar URLs generated (all 40,000+). The plugin version is 6.0.0.352. Indesign Application version is CS4 6.0.4.578. Here is one URL pulled from the file: <HyperlinkURLDestination Self="u54e9" Name="URL 275" DestinationURL="http://www.evanta.com/details_popup.php?cmd=speaker&id=6963" Hidden="false" DestinationUniqueKey="694"/>
Any ideas on how to stop the URLs from generating each time I have to save the file?

InDesign CS4 - saved gradient got corrupted, file becames unreadable.

Hi all.
I've just got the new CS4 suite a couple of days ago.
All is well installed, been working like crazy for almost 2 days straight, over CS2 files that I had before.
Then I started a brand new document (not imported from older versions), designed it, and it crashed after I've applyed a simple gradient to a frame.
After restarting InDesign CS4, it recovered the file, but the frame with the gradient was Black, and a warning appeared saying the file appears to be corrupted.
"Saving as..." with a new name didn't helped either, seems like every file saved from that one were corrupted.
Scanned the hard drive for bad sectors, all is ok.
The only solution I've got was to:
open the corrupted file
select what I could
"copy" to memory
close the file
create a new document with similar settings
paste and adjust
start all over again for every page and layer
Can someone help, so this doesn't happen again?
Oh, and it also crashed again after creating some colors. On Windows Task Manager, the executable was still there, "eating" about 49% CPU.
Could this have something to do with multi-core? This machine has a dual-core, but others have quads. This is being run over Windows XP Professional SP3, 3Gb Ram.
I couldn't replicate the error yet.
Kind regards,
Bruno Mateus

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the response. I think you nailed it. I had actually updated all the cross references that generated errors, but a few crept through (no errors generated) that referenced a paragraph in the document I copied from. I replaced these with the references in the current document and this solved it. The old document was also on a remote disk, so I'm sure this made matters worse. In addition, I found links to illustrator files on the remote disk. I also copied these files to the local disk and updated all the links (actually I did this first and it made very little difference, it was really the cross references that were the issue).
Thanks,
Anthony

Unusual InDesign/PDF/Printer Issue

I am currently using InDesign CS3 and Acrobat Professional 8.
I received a CS4 file that I could not open from another designer, he saved it as a .inx file which opened in CS3. I made the changes to the document, relink the images, and when I would export to pdf, the images in the design will print with a faint box around them, when in fact they are images that are cutout (have no background). 3 images are .tiffs and one is a .psd. They all look fine on a computer screen, but when it prints, the box shows up. We printed the pdf on several different printers and on one printer there is a box around those images. On another printer the box is not there. I'm not sure if its an Indesign issue, PDF issue or a printer issue. I've tried exporting it as PDF/X-1a:2001, that didn't work.
Please help! Thanks.

The directory structure for the template files are the same for Desktop and Server.
When I open up the PDFs generated by both, doing a side by side comparision, the server looks blurry at 125% zoom level while desktop looks sharp.

Saving issues with CS6

Is there an issue with saving in InDesign CS6? I keep trying to want to "Save" after I make a slight change and the software keeps trying to "Save As" and create a new file. I will not allow me to save over the old file and it's annoying the hell out of me.

No 3rd party plug-ins. I don't have any utilities running in the background.
The read only issue I think is the reason. I'll check on it and get back to you on what I find.
If this is the cause, then would this be a bug with ID? Why would a file I created on an accessible drive on my desktop or server open up as a "Read Only"?

InDesign not saving certain files

Any idea how to solve the following issues?
I have 6 versions of a 32pp A5 InDesign document, each one a different language. Working on them all yesterday. 4 worked fine, and saved all the work done on them. 2 appeared to be working most of the day, and saved work I was doing in them until about 3pm. However, these both say that they were last saved 2 days previous. Since 3pm, neither of these documents has saved any work done, and I haven't been able to save or close the documents, with or without saving changes. To close InDesign I have to Force Quit. The InDesign Lock Files appear to remain open even though the documents are not open. I have tried saving the documents under a different name, but that doesn't work. The colour of my pasteboard also reset itself to the default colour.
My colleague started getting these issues a couple of days before I did in a similar document she was working on. She did a lot of work on the document one day, and saved regularly. However the next day she went into the document and found that none of her work had been saved, and the document says it was last saved on 14th November! Because of this, she created a new document, and was copying everything from the problem document over into the new one. That appeared to be working initially, however some work she did in the new document wasn't saved, though other work that was done in it later was saved.

They were originally created in QuarkXpress, but then converted to ID CS5.5.
I seem to recall some bugs in the initial German release of CS5.5, but that may not be pertinent.
I suspect this is just creeping corruption from multiple conversions. Best practice when converting from Quark or Pagemaker is to immediately export to .idml to clean up as much crud as possible, and it's safer to export legacy files to .idml as well, then open those for conversion in the new version. We see too many reports of bad things suddenly happening with converted legaicy .indd files.
At this point there may not be much you can do if you are not able to save as (does CC still offer Export to .idml?). When you've given up all hope of saving the current state, if the files are still open, you can try a force quit and reopen ID. Sometimes autorecovery will work and you will have most of the current state, and the ability to save .idml might be restored. It's a gamble, so save for last.

InDesign CS4/ InCopy issue

Hi, I have a question regarding an issue I am having.
I'm currently working on a book and I have the chapters saved as multiple indesign files (one file per chapter) they are set up for editing in InCopy as well. There have been changes inserted into InCopy from an external source and I have re styled the changes in InDesign CS4 (overset text, font issues, layout changes, etc) and saved them. The files haven't been touched in a week and when I go to open them now none of the changes I have made are there. I've checked the stories folder and for a few chapters there seem to be a conflicted copy of some of the icml files. I am just curious if anyone has experienced a similar issue and if it is possible to avoid having to go back and make all the changes again.
Thanks

Hi, it sounds like you might have either not saved the changes that you made, or that you saved a vision of your work that InDesign is not linking to.
Have you made sure to update the links inside of InDesign?

Indesign CC Reinstall issues

Indesign CC kept crashing at startup, so I removed it from my Applications folder.
The Apps Manager shows InDesign CC as "up to date" (see attached screenshot) ... hard to believe considering I trashed it ...
Now, my Apps Manager won't give me the option of reinstalling it ... what do I have to do to reinstall InDesign CC ... ?
