After crash, users cannot use MS Office or InDesign CS2

Hi,
Our server had a couple of kernel panics last night. Once I got it back up and running, our 10 client computers could not access their user databases for Entourage, MS Word would not open, and Adobe InDesign CS2 would not work.
All the clients were running when the server went down and I'm assuming the user folders got corrupted somehow since most of them were running these apps at the time.
I've tried everything short of re-installing the software. Would this fix the problem? The MS apps are generally giving me an error code -5000 along with a dameon error, and that Entourage cannot access the user database. InDesign just reports a serious error and that it is shutting down. The error report has too many lines of code for me to decipher.
Our server is a G4 DP 1.25 w/ 2GB of RAM, 500GB mirrrored RAID drive setup running OSX Tiger Server 10.4.9. The user's home folders are stored on the server... no user information is kept on the client machines.
Any suggestions today (Sunday) would be greatly appreciated. We've got a newspaper to put out in the morning and I've been up all night already. It is going to be a long day...
Alan

Okay... got it figured out. It was actually pretty simple. I had never completely shut down the whole system at one time after the crash. Router, server, switches and clients... all together at one time (I had rebooted the server and clients separately though)...
So, after bringing everything down, then back online one by one, things started to work again. Lesson learned.
There were a few settings on the server that needed to be reset (DNS... POP in Mail services), but for the most part, things just worked once back online.
Thanks for chipping in.
Cheers,
Alan

Windows AD user cannot use Promotion management, Why?

A Procedure is distributed by SAP how to Use ”Promotion Management” in a OTAP/ DTAP street.
See Chapter/Secton 05 of this document: https://archivesaptechedhandson.hana.ondemand.com/contentArchive/AP263_Exercises_VHO_FINAL.pdf
This is a very good/useful procedure. This procedure works with an “Enterprise” Account.
In our environment we ONLY work with “Windows AD” accounts. (to keep users management very straight forward.)
We do not get the procedure working with “Windows AD” account.
Our procedures stops at Section: “07.3 Add to VM”:
The selected webi document, within the promotion Job, is not getting "checked in" in Version Management.
After that all other steps are useless.
Windows AD user cannot use Promotion management, but Why?
(If we use version managment on the individual webi report, with a windows AD user everyting works fine)

Sebastian,
you showed us the right direction.
We run SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.1 Support Pack 2 Patch 3.
In SAPBO4.1 we had to extend the properties of 2 services:
AdaptiveJobServer and the AdaptiveProcessingServer.
Now we can use windows active directory for promotion management,
thanx.

I downloaded lion and now I cannot use Microsoft Office

I downloaded Lion and now I cannot use Microsoft Office...

Yeah, the problem is that Office 2004 is still the best
I actually like iWork WAY better than Office, and it can export into Office formats if you need it to. iWork is way more stable, easier to use, less "clunky", and has some cool features in it. However, I admit that Excel is better than Numbers.
Also, it's $80, not $200.

I've upgraded to mountain lion and now cannot use microsoft office--what happened?

I've upgraded to ox Mountain Lion and now cannot use any of my Microsoft office software. What happened?

It appears that you upgraded your computer to Mountain Lion and were using Microsoft Office 2004. In the short term, if you need to open and modify Word files, go to the file in the Finder and Control-Click on it. A menu will come up: go to Open With... and select TextEdit. This should allow you to open, modify and save the file for the short term.
You can do the same trick to open Microsoft Excel files in Preview and print them; but I do not think you can modify them in this way.
Workarounds for Microsoft Office 2004 since upgrading to Mountain Lion:
1. Upgrade to Microsoft Office 2011. This version works in Mountain Lion. However some of your legacy 2004 files may convert badly.
2. Restore the version of OS X that you were using before Mountain Lion.
3. Partition your hard drive and/or attach an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard on it and use the 'dual-boot' method of booting into Mountain Lion when you need it and booting into Snow Leopard when you need to run your PowerPC applications such as Microsoft Office 2004.
4. The method I use, which allows me to run my PowerPC applications concurrently with Lion: I installed Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels 7 in Lion:

Text and text box is altered after I copy and past a frame between InDesign CS2 Documents

I am using InDesign CS2 4.0.5 on a MAC G5 running 10.4.1
HELP! I am working on a text book that has text picked up from multiple documents. These text frames have inset text. When I copy and paste the text frames, some of the text frames (but not all) loose the inset boundaries. Also some of the text changes so it now wraps. I have checked and double checked; I am using the same object styles and the same paragraph styles, the same character styles. I have even used the book feature to synchronize the styles. But without luck. I read the adobe tech note 333340 about CS2 files moved from Windows to Mac. I don't think any of these files would have been created on the MAC, but I am even having this problem on documents that I know were both created on the MAC. Any suggestions?

This problem was fixed by reading the forum "InDesign CS2 kicking lines out of a text frame for no reason - Help?". Although my text wasn't moving to the next page, I tried changing all the documents to the same unit of measurement and the copy and past worked!!!

External email users cannot use IMAPS/SMTPS

We have an email server running but since Mountain Lion (ML) server we do not have the webmail for external users and they are now forced to use email clients on PCs etc., which would be acceptable, if it worked.
This has created a weird problem... they cannot read and send email anymore.
Our server is using SSL and our preferred settings are:
IMAP
Port 993
Authentication: CRAM-MD5
SMTP
Port 587
Authentication: CRAM-MD5
The mail server is set to use automatic authentification (which I do not like because of the clear text option)
All this worked honkey-dorey before on Lion Server, but not now on a fresh installation of OS X ML Server. Only when using an iPhone or and iPad (3G mobile/cell connections) or being on our LAN can people read and send mail. We have users externally in Belgium, Denmark, Serbia, Turkey and Spain, and none of these users can now access their email. All the external users no matter if they use MAC/WINDOWS/LINUX clients have the same problems.
Looking the log at the same time when the users attempt to log in to check email just verify that the server is rejecting their connection in spite of them using correct credentials. The users get messages ranging from incorrect username or password to incorrect password but I can login into their accounts locally or from the LAN.
Could this problem be related to the usertype Local or Local Network User?
Any ideas or help is greately appreciated?
Peter
(Now, if anyone from Apple should happen to read this then note that it would be greatly appreciated if Apple could mature and stabilize so these severe changes to vital services could be avoided. If you support webmail (good or bad) in one release then continue to do so and if you have an advanced interface to the server functionallity like in Snow Leopard, please let us, the users, be able to keep using those tools rather than using the current 'Nintendo' interface.)

Hi Peter
Because this is working internally, it should be easy enough to solve.
First thing, most likely obvious, you do have port 993 open to your server?
Second, please post logs. Since we are dealing only with imap, just the imap (mailaccess) log will do.
Third, webmail functionality can be restored. Roundcube or Squirrelmail can be installed on your ML server. Roundcube takes a number of steps, but has a great/fast interface, its waht 10.7 used. Earlier versions of server used SQuirrelmail.
If you are under heavy pressure to get this up now and don't want to wait for forum responses, you can find contact info in my profile.

Aperture 3.2.1 still issues with sorting images in albums, after making adjustments, cannot use arrow keys to go to next image. straightening tool auto turns image prior to straightening inconsistantly

Have updated aperture to 3.2.1, still having some issues during editing images.
1. Basic item is sorting images does not happen correctly, move some images in file, they don't move correctly, after trying to move several, then they almost randomly move around.
2. Straightening tool will automatically tilt images as soon as you touch the tool, turns them on about a 30 degree angle clockwise.
3. Arrows on right side of keyboard used to move images in browser from the editing position, they move them if no editing is done, once you edit an image, cannot move to the next image using the arrow keys.
tks, gmoney in ladner

Oh, baby! This bad boy flies!! Here's what to expect:
I had 40,000 images in Aperture 3 and it was dog slow at everything. I installed 3.1 update today. It took 5 minutes to update the database and then behaved marginally better than before at ASIC library navigation. I was disappointed.
Then I QUIT the app. It took a couple of hours to "update files for sharing" with a counter that went to 110,000 images. So it must have updated every thumbnail and variation of preview. Turned it back on , and BAM. Came up fully in seconds. Paused for 10 seconds ten everything was lickrty split. For the first time ever, I can use the Projects view with all 791 projects and scroll quickly. I even put it in photos modevand whipped thru all 49,000 images!
Haven't done anybprocessing yet, but i'm liking it!!

Mac User Cannot Use Form Created in Windows Acrobat 9.0 Pro

I have created a form and emailed it to a Mac user. He does not know what version of Acrobat he has or even if he is using a full version of Acrobat or Acrobat Reader (I tried to walk him through to check his version, but he could not find it).
He is using a laptop that is about 5 years old.
Anyway....I created this form in Acrobat 9.0 Pro. It works great for me...when I type in the fields, the text falls perfectly on the lines; the autocalculate works perfectly, and the RESET button works perfectly. When he opens the file, the text shows all below the lines, the autocalculate does not work at all, and neither does the RESET button. He sent it to another person, and they too could not use the form.
I have enabled the PDF so it can be filled out by Reader users and it is not in PDF/A mode, but it still is not working for him. I went to the library where they have a Mac and I was able to open it through Acrobat Reader 9 and again, I was able to fill the form out and it worked perfectly for me.
Would anyone be available (with a Mac) through email so I could send you the file to see if any Acrobat pros might be able to tell me what is wrong with it? I am absolutely frustrated to the points of tears over this. If you do not want to place your email here, I will give you mine so you can email me first ([email protected]); just let me know here that you are emailing me so I know to check email rather than check here.
Thank you!
Laura

He's probably not using either Acrobat or Reader. The Mac comes with a built-in PDF viewer named Preview and it has limited support for PDF forms. It even corrupts them when it saves. It should definitely be avoided. Fortunately Reader is freely available, you just have to get him to install it.

Standard user cannot use creative cloud

The most recent creativecloud update made it so that my users can not use CC. Adding them to local administrator group fixes this.
I only have 8 workstations to worry about so I never bothered with the packager and deployment tools. I thought maybe that would fix the issue by installing the applications through a package, however when I try to install a package I create the installer gets hung up.
Will installing the CC applications work with this method and standard users? If so how do I get these packages to install? I created them with the creative cloud packager, did the exception deployment first (Acrobat Pro) and then ran the setup found in the build folder and it gets hung up at the above screenshot. I left it for over an hour like this on a high end machine running a SSD.

Users cannot use group listing to email in Mail

We have setup our directory with all of our users name and emails, and we have made a master group that contains all users in the company that we would like to use for mass mailings.
However when we attempt to either type, or drag the directory listing into the TO: area in a new mail message, it will not input anything.
Can you not use this method to send a message to a directory group?

Hi,
There are a couple of ways to set this up for a group. I'll explain the way that I use assuming Advanced setup:
In SA -> Mail -> Settings -> Mailing Lists -> Enable server group mailing lists
In WGM -> Groups -> your master group -> Enable services for this group on <host>
Check Mailing list.
Then in an email To field enter <groupname>@<host domain>
<host domain> can be shortened to the domain only if entered
In SA -> Mail -> Settings -> Advanced -> Hosting -> Local Host Aliases
Hope this helps,
Harry

After Vista Install, cannot use iTunes

I had to do a clean install of Windows Vista on my computer. As a result, the hard drive was wiped clean and all information on my computer was erased. After the install, I downloaded the newest version of iTunes + the Windows updates for compatability and the Windows iTunes fixes. Now, when I plug in my iPod, I get this message:
"The iPod is synced with another iTunes library. An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time." I then have 2 options - Erase and Sync or to Transfer Purchases. When I try to transfer purchases, it will not let me because I am "not authorized" to play them on this library.
Can someone help?

Probably not a broken AAS then. If it is broken badly enough to give an "itunes has stopped working" message, QuickTime typically won't launch either.
My thoughts swing back to a font issue. Usually if a font is damaged, the iTunes error happens via the CoreGraphics.dll. For example:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2302801
Unfortunately, without a heads-up from the Problem reports about which font is/may-be damaged, checking on that possibility is going to be a pain.
Try going into your Control panel. Do you have a "Fonts" control panel in your Windows 7? If so, go into that and try steadily opening all the fonts, one by one. Does font viewer have difficulty displaying any of the fonts? If so, which ones do you have trouble with?
