Saving Xcel files AFP

After saving Xcel files to the server AFP, Xcel creates what appears to be temporary or auto save files that can't be deleted. I can however delete the file in Terminal. The file name is a random sequence of letters and numbers (i.e. FC9FC100). When I try to delete the file, I get an error message "The operation cannot be completed because the item "FC9FC100" is in use." It is not in use. I don't recall this being an issue before upgrading to 10.4.10. Has anyone run across this?

What is "Xcel" ? Do you possibly mean Microsoft Excel ? If so pleas say so, no l33t speak here
The issue is with a truly brain-dead way in which Office apps support working on a fileshare (officialy, they don't.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302979
Look for a folder created at the top of the (any involved) sharepoint, "Temporary Items" or ".TemporaryItems" and give the group r+w permissions to that folder
Some suggest "chmod a+rwx .TemporaryItems" but that's ugly. Make a group that includes all your users,
chgrp yourgroup .TemporaryItems
chmod g+rwx .TemporaryItems
You might also try setting the Excel preferences ("general" section) default file location to a local folder (eg: local user's Documents folder).
In Word > Preferences > File Locations, set the "Documents" and "AutoRecover files" to a local directory.

  • Mac, Indesign CS5 crashes when saving to an AFP share.

    Hey all,
    I know that it isn't best practices to save to a share, but my users do it. We have never had that problem with CS3 or CS4.. as a matter of fact, not even all of my users have this problem.
    I have one designer that crashes whenever saving to an AFP share on OS 10.5 server. It just kills InDesign. Spinning beach ball of death shows up and then claims that the network resource can't be found.. then poof.. bye bye indesign. I told her to copy the files locally, work on them, save them, then copy back to the server. But after 5 years of working off the share drive she still forgets. We are running production and she is begging me for an answer.
    Thanks.

    I will double check her version when I get to work tomorrow. My Mac users are really good about staying up on patches.
    I will let you know if I need further assistance.. thanks!

  • While saving a file, I have converted all my files to Pdf.  The only way to restore previous is to delete Adobe.  Does anyone have a soution?

    While saving a file, I have converted all my files to Pdf.  This made everything inaccessible, even Explorer.  I had to delete Adobe to get back to some of the previous files.  I tried to restore system to previous, but I kept getting a pop up message that said I did not have enough shadow space.  Does anyone have a solution?  Greatly appreciate your help.

    Hi There,
    The subject header just about says it all. This is the first action I took with MAX - it is a fresh install. The file I wanted to save was still written and the FP seems to be working ok. However, I need to know what happened.
    I can't post the whole log file due to the amount of characters allowed on this post. I can cut and paste sections if there is a specific part of the file you need. Below is the first section and last section.

    Hi,
    I did a research on your error message and it seems this problem was introduced with MAX 4.6. This version switched to a new error reporting mechanism and reports even errors that are which are not critical to your task.
    These errors typically show up as "unexpected" and if your error falls into this category have a look to this KB for further assistance.
    If it doesn't fall into this category, your could try to go back to the MAX 4.5 or 4.4.. Of course you would need to reinstall some components and might not be able to use newer drivers at all.
    Let me know.

  • How to set jpeg resolution when saving pdf file as jpeg

    Hi
    I am running a stand-alone version of Framemaket 10.I try to convert a documentation with a lot of screenshots in it. Regardless of the settings on the Reference pages of the first document of the book, Framemaker converts all graphic files to *.gif, and these are downsized so much that they become illegible. I would like to have them converted to JPG, with little resolution loss, so they are still readable.
    I think Robohelp is too expensive…

  • Photoshop CS6 program error saving layered files

    I recently updated my adobe software and I am still getting issues with saving layered files. I keep gettting program error - only occasionally. Sometimes saving to my desktop works and other times it doesnt. Other coworkers are experiencing same thing ever since they updated. It happens when working on a layered file for any length of time and need to save it out as a layered photoshop file. We are forced to flatten and save as a tif and loose our layers. I think it has something to do with background task but not sure...

    Drag the file to your desktop, open the file there, do your edits, save, and then drag back.
    Let us know what you are working off. If server, what server software are you using. System preferences >> spotlight, uncheck all items.

  • On my new Imac, I had the trial version of Pages, and saved some files in it. Now I have purchased the full version from Apple via a download, but I cannot save or print the old files, please help!

    On my new Imac I saved some files on the free trial version of Pages, since downloading the full version from Apple, have been unable to save or print from old files saved when using the trial version. Any ideas? Thank you!

    My guess is the 30-day trial period has expired but you didn't remove the trial before installing the full version. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
    Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

  • Problem saving gif file over the net

    I am using a simple loop to save files using a URL Connection. It grabs html files fine and they look right but when I used to to download an animated gif it had an error. It saved the file but when I tried to open the image I got a "drawing failed" message.
    I compared it to the working image and the sizes were identical. I also compared the characters in notepad and the beginning and end characters were identical. I looked at the preview in "My Computer" when you select it and it drew only the first line or so. This makes me believe it is a problem with how it switches lines when saving. I checked the ends of the lines though and they also seem identicall. Any ideas? Here is the code. Thankyou.
    FileWriter fileName = new FileWriter(saveFileName);
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
    new InputStreamReader(
    newConnection.getInputStream()
    BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(fileName);
    for (;;) {
    int data = in.read();
    // Check for EOF
    if (data == -1) break;
    else {
    System.out.print ( (char) data);
    out.write(data);
    }

    GIF files are binary files and can be corrupted if you use the Reader and Writer classes. Use the *Stream classes, like FileInputStream and FileOutputStream.

  • When saving a File OS Is Creating Multiple Folders With The Same File Name

    Not sure what I changed but, now when I save a any file (ppt. word, Keynote,Pages e.g.,) to the desktop or any other location the OS will also create multiple file folders with the same file name as the file I'm saving. Inside the folders are what appears to be files locating the saved files. What can I do to fix this problem?

    It looks like a finder bug. To replicate, I surf to any website, I right-click on a jpg image, select "Save Image As" and in the window that pops up I type in the filename "000.jpg", I select the folder Pictures, and click on Save.
    BTW, I don't know why, but the file was saved only as "000" without the file extension ".jpg". Does anybody know why?
    the extension is simply hidden. go to the get info panel for the file and uncheck the option to hide the extension.
    Then I surf to another image, and again I save it as "000.jpg" and now it asks me if I want to replace the existing filename, although the existing one is "000" and I try to save as "000.jpg", so I say yes, and then magically the file is saved with the full filename including the extension "000.jpg"
    When I did it a couple of times, always saving image as "000.jpg" from various sources, I ended up with two distinct files named "000" and both in the same folder Pictures.
    Please advise.
    it sounds to me like you saved one file as 000.jpg and the other and 000.jpg.jpg.
    check the info panels for the files for full names to verify if this is the case.

  • How do I prevent AE from saving .AEP files in the wrong folders?

    I've been using AE heavily for about 6 months, and it has this really pesky basic Windows UI problem that makes life quite frustrating. I work on lots of projects that I maintain sequentially numbered in their respective folders. Typically in Windows when you choose "Save As" windows defaults to the folder the current file resides in.  For some reason After Effects defaults to the last folder I saved a file in, which often times is not the folder I am in. So I end up with project files from projectA stored in the projectB folder.  This leads to version control problems when members of the team can't find the most recent version of projectA and so they start working on the previous version of ProjectA and later on ask me where all my changes are.  I want to believe that AE has a checkbox in preferences somewhere that says "make save-as feature operate like every other windows program" - but I haven't found it yet.  Does anyone have any advice on this topic?

    I think you are operating on wrong assumptions - a project is just a reference to other files plus some internal data, so it doesn't exactly make sense to maintain endless lists of absolute paths, given that you can import things back and forth in a million ways. What happens as soon as you import a project into another one? What, when you collect files? What happens when you re-import pre-rendered files? A "same origin" policy would be riddled with tons of issues to figure out the logic as to what the user actually wants to do and which path is the correct one.... I've never missed any such feature.

  • I can't create a new tag while saving a file in Yosemite.

    The title pretty much says it all :-) As I try to type in a new tag while saving a file, the curser just blinks, and doesn't respond.  I can't create a new tag. I can click on existing tags, and they get added to the file, but the support page on tags says:
    To add a tag:
    Click on a recent tag that appears in the menu to link it your document. You can even add multiple tags.
    Click “Show All…” to see the all of the tags you have created. Then, click on a tag to add it.
    You can also add tag by typing. As you type in the Tags field, you’ll see matching suggestions from your existing tags.
    To add a new tag, just type it in the field.
    New tags you create automatically appear in other locations where tags are visible, such as in the Finder sidebar.
    The fourth bullet is the one I'm referring to. I think this might be a bug, but I can't find a way to report it. If it's not a bug, I would really appreciate some guidance.
