Trouble saving documents to server at work location

I am using the following apps to edit documents located on the server at my work location from my home - Cisco AnyConnect VPN, FB file browser and Pages. I can easily bring up a document and edit it in Pages using these apps but I can not find a way to save the edited document back to the the server at work. I could email the document to my self but it seems to me that if I can load the document onto my iPad then I should be able to save it. I can't find the procedure in any documentation.

Hi thematrixhasyou,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to update documents from Outlook to SharePoint 2010.
I did a test as the followings:
1. Create a library, and allow Content Type as Library settings->Advanced Setting, under ‘Allow management of content type?’, select Yes.
2. Click on Library Settings->Document under Content Types, click on Document Information Panel settings, and select ‘Always show Document…’.
3. Create some custom cloumns
4. Upload some documents to the library
5. Then click on Library->Connect to Outlook, the library will be synced to Outlook
6. In Outlook, find the library
7. Double click a document, the document was opened, and the document information(Title and custom columns) were displayed correctly.
8. Change the document, and save it
9. Then close the document, it pop up a dailog box, like the below screenshot.
10. Click on Update, then the document will be updated in SharePoint
Which type did you use for the custom columns (Year, Category, Document Type)?
Please have a try as the above steps.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

Trouble saving documents

When I save a document, it does not show up in Documents for a long time. I can use Finder to find and open the document if I can remember what I named it. Sometimes I remember the subject, but I can't remember the name I gave it, but it usually shows up in Documents in a few weeks. I don't remember having this problem when the computer was new. Is this a bug in a recent OS update? The information I can find on saving documents says that they should show up in Documents, but it doesn't say how long it should take. Do I have any control over how long it takes?

Can you save a document to a folder not in the Documents folder?
Funny thing, I've owned dozens of Macs and never use that folder.
Usually, you can choose a folder or path to have items saved there.
In fact, since I am often the only user of a computer and sometimes
have two user accounts, still do not use these user-account specialty
folders. I've often did as I had said, in creating a folder on the hard
disk drive and an alias to it on my desktop, or drag a link/icon into
the Dock (next to the Trash in Dock is an easy location to put it.)
Sounds as though there still may be some issues in the computer's
system, regarding how your created files are handled. You could
boot the computer from the Tiger install disc and run Disk Utility from
the version found in the Installer's menu bar (do not run the install
sequence, the finder-like Installer menu bar has options in a drop-
down menu, like finder does; you can launch Disk Utility and do other
jobs from the Installer, without installing anything.
If using the booted Tiger installer's Disk Utility, be sure to avoid any
of the extra features this utility can do in this situation; it can do a
fair amount of damages should you do more than 'repair disk' and
'repair disk permissions' out of turn. It can reformat, erase, partition.
The 9GB of remaining space in the hard disk drive may become a
marginal asset, since up to 5GB of the hard drive can be used for
the System and Apps, as Virtual Memory and temp swap files. That
would leave a dangerously low amount of 'free space' overall.
My computer drives have about 70% free space, except in my iBook,
and that has about 60% free space since it has extra spare installer
.dmg files in a folder there. I try and keep a good backup clone on an
externally enclosed FireWire bootable hard disk drive, of each Mac HD.
(Your Mini is probably an Intel-based Mac; so a backup external enclosure
for a hard disk drive for clones & backup would likely be USB2.0; if you
get one, be sure the vendor knows Macs. Get one that can support clones
and booting OS X from a drive in such an enclosure. If the Mini has ports
for FireWire, then get an external drive enclosure with FW & USB2.0.)
For general periodic maintenance, I have and use OnyX, so about once
a month or so (if bored, sooner; if forgetful, later) and have OnyX set in
its own preference setting, to restart the computer automatically when it
is done running any task it would require or recommend a restart when
done; so it does that. I can leave it after launching the selected choices
in Automation (checkboxed items can be chosen) and usually choose All.
{This does not mean it will start & run all by itself; I don't know if it can do
that aspect of scheduled maintenance, since this requires an Admin PW
to launch; so you'd have to be there to run OnyX, or remote login to do it.}
• OnyX - Titanium Software:
http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs/english/apps.html
This can take some time, depending on the size of the hard disk drive
and other particular items in each machine's configuration. Maybe up
to 45 minutes on a drive if not too full. Could take longer on yours.
At some point, given the age of your computer and the fullness of the
capacity of the hard disk drive, you may have to consider the wear &
age of the moving parts sufficient reason to replace the hard disk drive.
If you do have or are considering a complete backup of the computer's
contents, there are external drive enclosures which can support a full
computer clone (free-running clone utilities are downloadable) and you
could backup the computer's contents; and a good boot-able clone is
about the best assurance you can still access your data if the main drive
in the computer should fail. You can make & test a clone before any
disk maintenance, reinstall from scratch, or an old drive gets replaced.
The time probably has come to consider these ideas and learn more.
And an all new installation on a low-level erased & reformatted hard
disk drive, and updated to the last Tiger 10.4.11 combo; would be a
basis for a cleaner and faster running system. Then, the last security
update, java updates, quicktime, browsers, Flash & Shockwave players,
could be applied; and only the apps you use most, reinstalled & updated.
Even without a new internal hard disk drive, could be a great refresh.
An external drive could be a home for more than just a bootable clone of
the computer's current content, a backup; the external can be partitioned
and more than one clone or different system version could be on there;
or a partition used for storage of items to be used alongside the Mac.
iTunes and iPhoto libraries can be relocated or moved to an external; so
as to free-up the internal drive. Generally, to keep it from being too full.
And I suspect your current hard drive status may be marginal, in that little
free or unused space exists; and if needed, you could not perform an
'Archive & Install/update' procedure or other helpful major tasks within it.
Anyway, I do not have a specific answer as to why the files you have
saved to the Documents folder are not going there. They should be
appearing in your User folder, since all your user activity when booted
in and logged-in a user account would go in there; generally speaking.
You should be able to search for a folder you made, by date, and see
if it still exists or if it was overwritten by something else & is missing.
The best cure to most OS X issues is preventative maintenance; but
in some (few) cases, in a newer and unproven system, other issues
may be the cause of some odd problems. But OS X 10.4.11 is very
stable and if kept up, probably the best system version so far; in the
comparison of non-current systems.
Good luck & happy computing!

Trouble saving documents from Outlook to SharePoint 2010 library - missing tags

Hello
One of our users is seeing a strange issue with saving documents from Outlook. It appears that the document already had tags from the library, but the user said the document was never uploaded to the library.
All of the server tags show Currently Unavailable, and the user cannot upload this document to the library.
See screen shot:

Trouble saving document

Testing a document created in LiveCycle and when I go to fill out the document and save everything looks fine. I close it and reopen it and some of the information is missing or reset back to the default (example if drop down 2 was selected a text box would appear for additional information after saving and reopening the document the drop down resets back to default and the text box is missing). What is happening here? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated thanks.

I'm using the exit event for a drop down and displays things after the selection, when saved the selection that was made doesn't show up. Another question too, I put the script in the layout:Ready and it looks like it works but the document is set to flow and some of the sections don't move up to fill the space. How do I get it to flow and move up to where it should be?? And also the text boxes that are set to fit to width of text automatically doesn't work anymore when the document is saved. Sorry I'm new at this part, it's a whole another thing I'm learning now. Hope this all makes sense. Thanks.

Having trouble saving tiff files to server

Hi all,
I'm having trouble saving tiff files to our server (a mac pro running OSX 10.5.7 client not server). I get the error message 'could not save "filename" because write access was not granted. The disk in question is set to ignore permissions and the other 3 Macs on the network have no problems.
Bizarrely this only seems to happen when saving as a Tiff file, I can save as JPEG without issue! The file will usually save after a few attempts, sometimes six or seven save as' are needed.
This problem comes and goes, but at the moment its pretty bad.
This is becomming very frustrating as Tiff is our prefered format and we work as a team so have to save to the server.
Any ideas?

Just to expand on Buko's correct ansswer, this is the boilerplate text I use in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
See:
http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/322391.html
Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

Trouble saving Photoshop CS3 files to server

I've recently upgraded to Leopard v. 10.5.2, and now I'm having trouble saving any sort of file through Photoshop CS3 to my company's server. Even after opening the file from the server, when I try to save it, I get an error message saying I do not have the privileges to save the file. And I've saved the file to my desktop, and tried dragging it to the server folder, and I get a slightly different message, but with the same problem.
I can save jpegs that weren't created with Photoshop, but not vice versa. My other CS3 programs save files like normal. It's just Photoshop.
One way I've found to get around the problem is to email the file to myself, and then transfer them to the server. But this is an annoyance. Thanks for any help.

I would like to know how Adobe can make their uses download the OS X 10.5.3 update without sorting out the photoshop bug. Why should we not be able to save our files directly onto reliable servers. You would think that by now the concept of saving a file to a network disk would have been solved. Saving directly on servers worked flawlessly for me - why not now? I have never had this problem before until this OS X 10.5.3 update. This is appalling as designers save their photoshop files onto a server so that other designers may access their files. Yeah I will now work locally and transfer the files across. Last night I realised that I could not open many files that I had worked on during the weekend - I have lost hours of work and am feeling pretty devastated. How can Adobe not even warn their customers about this problem!!!! Don't fob your customers off. This is HUGE BUG - I've paid for my software so fix it!
I wonder how many designers have this problem and don't even know. Abode should be letting their customers know about this BUG before they have to find out themselves after having lost irreplaceable work.

Saving Documents (location)

When i pres save as in a new document I can only see the top level folders, and i am unable (or the system doesnt let me more like) navigate to a sub folder where I want to save some work.
This also happens in Word and Excel also
How can i get the system to allow me to navigate to where I want to save a document

In the Save or Save As dialog box, to the right of the name of the saved document you'll see a downward pointing arrow. Click it to see a hierachical menu where you can navigate to any location you want.

Hi, I cant open a document I have been working on. It has previously been saved without a problem now all I get is a box stating that the file cannot be opened. Any suggestions please?

Hi, I reecntly purchased a Mac and the Pages App. But now I find that I cant open a document I have been working on. It has previously been saved without a problem now all I get is a box stating that the file cannot be opened. It is visible in both the Pages Windows and under Recent Items but just will not open. Any suggestions please?

Hi Colourdoodles,
Maybe the document is corrupted. Can you open other Pages documents? Preview may open it. Right click (or control click) on the document in Finder and Open With > Preview.
If that works, Edit > Select All, Edit > Copy. Then paste into a blank Pages document. Formatting may be messed up, but you will have editable text. Then Save (with a different name), close and see if you can open the new document.
Regards,
Ian

I lost power to my MacBook Pro before I had saved anything that I was working on...usually I plug my computer it and power it back on and the documents pop right back up when the computer turns on. That did not happen this time.How can I recover this data

If you never saved, auto save does not kick in.

Hi quodd,,
We are sorry for the issue being faced by you. I need some information from you so that I take further steps:
1. Which Adobe product are you using Acrobat or Adobe reader- what is the complete version?
2. How are you opening and saving the PDF, the exact workflow?
Are you doing it from within Adobe Reader/Acrobat application or opening it from browser, doing changes and saving it using browser itself.
3. Can you try to save a PDF to library with Custom template and managed metadata columns using browser directly.
4. Please verify that columns name do not contain spaces or some other special characters.
Can you try to save PDF to library with Custom template and just a single managed metadata column with a simple name
Thanks,

Cannot open Pages documents that I've worked on. I open a new document, work on it, then save and close it. When I try to open the document again, I get the following message: The document "[name]" could not be opened. The file isn't in the correct form

I cannot open Pages documents that I have worked on and saved. When I try to reopen Pages documents that I've saved, I get the following

I have downloaded the latest update to iWork, but that doesn't help.
I use Mac OSX 10.6.7
I am using Pages '09 version 4.0.5 (852)
If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.
Best regards,
New York Mac User

A few general trouble shooting tips that may apply here:
1. If you used Software Update to do the OS update(s) to reach 10.6.7, go to http://support.apple.com/downloads/ and download and apply the Mac OS v10.6.7 Combo Updater. The Combo Updater contains some fixes that were not included in the incremental updaters used by Software Update.
1a. Check that you have the current version of Pages (and of the other iWork applications) installed. All three applications' current version numbers end in .0.5
2. A common cause of malfunctioning applications is a corrupted preferences file (.plist file). Your Pages '09's plist is at yourname > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iWork.pages.plist
Quit Pages, locate the file and Drag it to the Desktop (or to the Trash).
Restart Pages and attempt to open one of the files.
If all is well, Trash the plist file and empty the Trash.
If there's no change, AND you've made changes to the Preferences that you wish to keep, drag the file back to its previous location, replacing any new one that has been created.
Regards,
Barry

I set up the VPN, so how do access server at work?

I am a complete novice when it comes to VPNs. I was given permission to work from home and was told I had to set up a VPN to access shared documents saved on the server. I have a PC at work and a MacBook Pro at home, and my work IT department had no idea on how to set up the VPN on the Mac and won't give me any support. (I tried and failed to get the VPN set up on our desktop PC at home and the work IT department claimed it was a problem with my broadband server). I did my research, got the VPN set up on the Mac, and it shows that I'm connected. I'm at a standstill. What do I do now? I apologize because I can't remember which version of the OS I have, but I bought the Mac almost a year ago, if that's any help.
I thank you in advance.
Kate

At this time you are not providing enough information to get any informed help. Go back to IT and ask for the settings for the VPN on a PC, post them here, we'll translate them to Macspeak. Are you trying to access the desktop of the office machine or just the file storage areas on the server?
PS: Your IT department is hopeless.

Error occurred while saving document in Web Analysis Studio

We have encountered an issue when we tried to save a new report in Web Analysis. An error message box will prompt up displaying "Error occurred while saving document." (Please refer to the attached screenshots). Clicking the details button gives no response.
Originally we encountered this whilst creating a report with an SQL spreadsheet (JDBC connection tested successfully), which failed to save. Proceeding to test this saving a blank report also gave the same error message.
The report shows up in the Oracle view, however also produces an error when trying to open it. "Unable to perform request
Undefined exception encountered. Recommended Action: Contact your corporate technical support." (Please refer to the attached screenshots)
Web Analysis version 11.1.2.3.000.1175
Please advise on how to handle this case

Hi Soumya,
Thanks for your reply. I am already using the admin account which is given administrator provisioning under Reporting & Analysis. I have not had issues in the past of saving documents to the server location (e.g. with FR studio). Any ideas as to what else could cause this error? Thanks!

Also - my battery has been telling me "service battery" for a LONG time and then it switched to "replace soon" som time ago. Can't really see what this has to do with anything but whatever.
That could conceivably explain all the problems you're describing. Replacing a Mac's battery should not be postponed since a failed battery will cause other problems to occur. It is also possible that its hard disk has failed, which means the information on it may soon become unrecoverable.
... my latest TM back up was from April 2014, can I just run this when I have rescued everthing and then it might not be as slow?
If that Time Machine backup remains intact, it may be the only viable means of recovering that Mac's information. I suggest you do not attempt to restore its contents to your ailing Mac.
Given that you are having trouble creating a newer Time Machine backup you should stop using that Mac immediately and have it serviced as soon as you are able. Do not take it to anyone other than Apple or a service facility authorized by Apple, for the very reasons you explained. If there are no Apple Stores in your vicinity search for an Authorized Apple Service Provider using the Contact Us link below. Use one of the options that appear under Contact Apple Support. The language on that page will be different for your location.

Send for shared review - What type of Web server folder works?

Hello all,
Can someone please explain to me what type of web server folder works with "Send for shared review"?
I have created a folder on my GoDaddy server account with full permissions... http://webservername.com/Adobe_Test but after clicking Next, I see the error, "The Shared Folder Location is not valid. Click OK and check the Status field for more information."
1) It isn't valid? What are the valid server requirements?
2) "...check the Status field for more information."? What Status field?
It would have been great if I could use a Google Docs folder but that failed as well.
What must I do to unlock this neat feature?
Thank you

Thanks CtDave.
I ended up building a WebDAV server and I am now encountering a bunch of new issues. Such as:
From my workstation, working with Acrobat.
- After making comments. I click the top button "Publish Comments" - this works well - no errors. But when I attempt to exit the PDF, Acrobat wants to save the document. Attempting to Save results in a read-only error. After trying this, Acrobat gets into a loop where there doesn't appear to be a way to exit Acrobat (other than by Save As new file name):
Even worse... I understood that reviewers only required the Adobe Reader in order to comment. This doesn't seem to be the case.
When I emailed a test document for review, this is the message that pops up:
All that is available is the original content (none of the review comments are available).
Any ideas?
