Anybody having trouble with InDesign CS2 documents on a network drive?

I just set up my Airport network at home (Airport Extreme base station, external hard drive plugged into the USB port, iMac G5 plugged into one of the Ethernet ports) and have run into a peculiar problem. When working on my iMac (connected vie ethernet) I open an Adobe InDesign CS2 document from the USB network drive. After a minute or so InDesign tells me something has gone wrong and it is shutting down. I immediately re-launch InDesign and it does its auto-recovery and immediately shuts down again. If I re-launch again and it asks if I want to begin auto recovery it immediately shuts down again. Only by telling it "no" to auto revoery can I break the cycle and let InDesign launch normally. However, if I then go to the file I was working on and attempt to open it, InDesign shuts down. I know that InDesign creates a temporary Lock file when you open a document. My guess is that somehow the lock file is getting corrupted and preventing InDesign from opening this file. InDesign documents are the only file types thus affected, Illustrator and Photoshop are fine. I have a second hard drive connected via Firewire and have never had any problems with files from it. My question is, what would be causing the problem on my network drive connectd to the base station? Am I the only one out there with this problem?

  • HT4623 Is anybody having trouble with your ringer after installing OS 6.0 and using the new GPS system?

    Is anybody having trouble with your ringer after installing OS 6.0 and using the new GPS system?

    The good (?) news is many people are have OS 6.0.1 wifi problems.
    I could not connect to my home network.  What eventually worked for me (twice now), though it makes no sense, is to go to the particular connection you want to use, hit the little blue arrow on the right to get the details screen.  Scroll down to the bottom and change "HTTP Proxy" from "None" to "Auto".  Then leave the "URL" field that pops up blank. 
    This should not work.  However, it has for me where many other suggestions have not. 
    *shrug*
    Best of luck.

  • I recently added my old mac hard drive to a new macbook with an SSD as my main OSX drive.  I am having trouble with permissions in viewing my old hard drive.  What is the best way to get complete access to my old hd installed in my new Macbook?

    I recently added my old mac hard drive to a new macbook with an SSD as my main OSX drive. I am having trouble with permissions in viewing my old hard drive, when I save a permission when I reboot the full access is changed again .  What is the best way to get complete access to my old hd installed in my new Macbook?

    Open the Get Info window for the old drive. Click the Lock icon on the bottom of that window and type in your password. In the permissions area click the Plus sign ( + ) and Add your Username to it and set it to Read & Write. Close that window. you should now have full access to all the files.

  • Acrobat 6.0 Professional- Having Trouble with a Large Document-Please Help

    Using Acrobat 6.0 Professional.  Working with a large document (1400 pages, 25 megs).  I broke it into two parts to make it easier to work with.  However, even though the two parts are now 700 pages, they are each still 25 megs.  It appears that each document is retaining the full history of the document, perhaps as restore points.  How do I purge the history so the document is small and more manageable?

    I am not sure if version 6 can optimize PDF files but in version 9, you have to follow these instructions:
    Optimize a PDF
    Note: Optimizing a digitally signed document removes and invalidates the digital signatures. 
    Open the PDF Optimizer dialog box.
    To use the default settings, choose Standard from the Settings menu, and then skip to step 6. If you change any settings in the PDF Optimizer dialog box, the Settings menu automatically switches to Custom.
    From the Make Compatible With menu, choose Retain Existing to keep the current PDF version, or choose an Acrobat version. (The options available in panels vary depending on this choice.)
    Select the check box next to a panel (for example, Images, Fonts, Transparency), and then select options in that panel. To prevent all of the options in a panel from executing during optimization, deselect the check box for that panel.
    (Optional) To save your customized settings, click the Save button and name the settings. (To delete a saved setting, choose it in the Settings menu and click Delete.)
    When you are finished selecting options, click OK.
    In the Save Optimized As dialog box, click Save to overwrite the original PDF with the optimized PDF, or select a new name or location.To optimize several documents at the same time, use the Output options for the Batch Processing command.
    It is worth a try assuming you have this facility in version 6.
    Always backup the document before doing this.
    Good luck.

  • Having trouble with InDesign CS4, fonts and newspaper RIP

    Hi all,
    I am the production manager for a student newspaper. We've been having random font issues where text is missing or replaced with Myriad ever since we upgraded from CS3 to CS4. Our printer is saying that we may have different font versions installed on different workstations. But the machines (Intel iMacs running 10.5) are all running the same disk image, and we had no font issues when we ran CS3 on them previously (indentical font folder on every machine).
    Additionally, we've had similar problems with camera-ready ad files since moving to CS4. I can't control the fonts my customers use, so how to do I rectify this with CS4? In the past we never had any problems once we made a X-1a PDF that sanitized everything.
    Are there any known issues with newspaper RIPs and X-1a PDFs generated from InDesign CS4? Everything looks, prints and preflights 100% okay in-house. I have opened an affected PDF on OS X, Vista, in Acrobat and Preview and printed on genuine PostScript (Ricoh SP C811DN and Ricoh SP 8200) as well as non-PostScript printers (a little HP 1012) and cannot replicate the issue on my end, so it seems like a RIP issue to me.
    I could roll everyone back to CS3 but that would be a lot of work, and we really like CS4 otherwise ... so, any ideas?
    Here is a PDF you can check out. Please let me know if you see any problems with it.
    http://spub2.uta.edu/pix/frontpage.pdf
    Here is a scan of the printed page where fonts had randomly been replaced with Myriad:
    http://spub2.uta.edu/pix/markedup.jpg
    Preflight okay:
    http://spub2.uta.edu/pix/preflight.jpg
    I'm not sure if it's kosher to mention the printer's name, but this is a big one who prints national papers and one of our big local dailies, not Crazy Jim's Discount Printing or anything like that.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Adam

    Adam,
    OK, we've got your file here at Adobe. Although it preflights correctly for PDF/X, running a custom preflight profile with Acrobat 9 Pro shows font problems. (I've attached the preflight report.) The problems are not severe enough to prevent normal display and simple PostScript printing of your file, but possibly really doing a job with less forgiving software that your newspaper printer is using as part of their workflow.
    Without knowing what that software and workflow is exactly, there isn't much I can do other than speculate. But there is something technically wrong with the
    Bureau Grotesque and
    Miller Display font families you are using? Are they OpenType fonts? Were they originally in OpenType format or did someone convert them? Anyway, if you can get permission to send me off-list the content and fonts, we would love to analyze what's going on here!

  • I'm having trouble with uploading two documents to iCloud from pages.

    On my iPad2, two documents continue to have the blue 'updating' bar at the bottom and Pages continues to say "updateing 2 items" with the little spnning wheel. I've got plenty of space available both on the iPad and iCloud. Other documents are uplaoding just fine. The two documents are between 4 and 5 pages of text only. Any ideas?

    The easiest way to set up to most provider routers is to set up the time capsule to bridge mode with dhcp enabled--meaning the time capsule pulls an IP address from the providers router. Then connect the other express or extreme to time capsule using apples built in bridging.
    Doing it this way gives your network one dhcp server--the providers router. This way you will be able to reach all your providers tv receivers for the app controllers because all devices will be on the same subnet.
    The trade off is the controlling device for firewall and ports is the providers router. So if you want remote access to your hard drive in the time capsule you will need to allow this through the providers router.
    To me it sounds like you have 2 dhcp servers and when you reboot the dhcp server that boots up the quickest give the IP address out. Then when the time to live timer expires and the devices needs to check and make sure it is still good with its IP address another dhcp server steps in and causes your issue.

  • Anybody having trouble with Facebook? (3.6.24 on Ubuntu on a Dell with 1000 ram)

    Using Firefox 3.6.24 on Ubuntu on a Dell with 1000 ram. Chat does not open (continuously loads and loads); cannot scroll past about 30 or so posts - when I hit "more stories" at the bottom, page reloads to the top; have done everything I can find in Help there and Help here.

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    *Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

  • Anybody having trouble with QT with the last Windows patch?

    All QT is not working and won't even launch on vista.
    I hope Apple contacts Microsoft and get this straightened out.

    I just put QT on a vista machine that had not had it before. Worked OK at first then when launched again shut down with a Data Execution Prevention error. Tried turning off DEP for QT but vista would not let me do it. Will run if started by "Run as Administrator". However if you set Run as Administrator" under Compatibility then it wont run - says it must have windows 2000 or later

  • Anybody having trouble with Disk Utility

    It's been a month since I ran Disk Utility - it was fine then. Yesterday and today I ran it again and it doesn't make any permission changes.
    What used to take several minutes was over in less than 30 seconds with no permission changes.

    Hi Diane,
    and your question is?
    Remember to run some regular system maintenance: Mac OS X 10.3/10.4: System maintenance

  • Anybody having trouble with customer support?

    I bought LIGHTROOM 4 from amazon.com, and did not get a readable serial number.  So far, I have been on the chat with the support people 5 times, have provided proof of purchase, and have been told that I would receive the re-issued serial number in 24 - 48 hrs.  Each time, they fail to contact me as promised. Is customer service and support with ADOBE a joke?  I can understand the need to protect the software and follow safeguards, but if they tell you that they will contact you in 24 hrs, then that's what they should

    Thanks for the quick response. The ticket is # 0209510410.  I thought it might be the case that someone would not see it until Monday, but the last agent told me that the person re-issuing the serial number was at his location, so it apparently does not have to go to another office somewhere else. I was ok waiting the first time I was told it would be 24-48 hrs, and then the next guy says 24 hrs, and then after still no email from them the next guy says just wait another 24-48 hrs. Something is broken here.
    Have a good day!
