Can't open files when a particular user has saved them

We have one user whose Pages files nobody else can open, edit or copy when he saves them to our server. Somehow the files are not inheriting the correct permissions.
Any ideas?

Otherwise you need to change the permissions for the users or folder. Do you have an Company administrator setting up these things?
Not password protected. I am the administrator. I use a sledge hammer to fix the problem at the moment, which is to propagate the correct permissions from the folder above on the server each time it happens.
The user/permissions setup on the server is correct as far as I can tell. He has a Standard user account and belongs to all Groups.
The only difference I can tell is that he's on an Intel-based computer (whereas the rest of us on PowerPCs), although that could be a red herring.

Can't open Pages files when a particular user has saved them

Can anyone help with this topic: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2288596
We have one user whose Pages files nobody else can open, edit or copy when he saves them to our server. Somehow the files are not inheriting the correct permissions.

I got the same issue but with some new insight.
I got a MacPro with 10.5.8 server on it to serve 8 users on 10.5 and 10.6. The root sharepoint is nest within a folder on a separated volume from the OS. I made a pretty simple permissions structure at first, all users is member of a group, and I giving full access to that group thru ACL and set the heritance to everything.
When I copie a new file on the server from the finder, everything is OK. But when I created a new documents on the server by saving it from a another software (Like pages or Textedit). The new file doesnt inherite the ACL and everybody else beside the users who created that new files is read only.
According to my tests, the ACL appear to be propagate on new file only from finder manipulation.

File sharing can not open files when transferred.

File sharing. When files are sent over to folder on mac can not open message comes up " you do not have permission to open the document"
Had no problem before loading 10.9.

Files are coming from another computer on the network and they put the files into a folder on the deck top. When I try to open them I found that I had to select the folder and "get info" and go down to the gear and select "apply to enclosed items" It seems once I take the files out of the folder it reverts back to the default. Then I have to reset it each time to open new files. In Sharing & permissions I have all the privileges set for read & write is there another way to set it as a default to be able to open the files with going to the gear each time?.

SQL Plus Error - "Can't open file" when spooling

Hi:
I have a user who is either able or unable to spool when running a script depending on what Oracle user she logs in as. She's always logging in as the same Linux user but connecting to Oracle as different Oracle users via SQL Plus. When spool files are created they are created with that user's account and group settings, so the OS account seems to be fine.
I'm having a problem with the idea that there is an Oracle role or something that controls this. Spool isn't UTL_FILE. Is this a SQL Plus application setting or something?
We're using Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
Thanks

Well, I'm working off an email so maybe they cut and pasted and maybe they didn't. They say the error is
spool error: "Cannot create spool file"
I'll have to recreate their situation and see what it really says. But either way, my confusion is how this same OS user can log in as a different Oracle user and spool away. Perhaps the comment above is correct. It worked the first time and they tried to run under the other account without removing the current file. I tend not to think so because these users have been running similar reports for years and they usually have to remove the old output file before re-running.

Why I can´t open files in CC InDesign by double-clicking them ?

Everytime I am trying to open a file double-clicking it, it says: Choose a software to open it, where I can only pick CS3 from the list. Yes, I did try to select a software from the folder of softwares, and when I pick InDesign CC, simply goes back to the window where the only option still is CS3.
I am opening files straight from the CC platform, but obviously this is not how is suposse to work, is it ?
TNX 4 ur comments!

Sounds like you might have uninstalled an earlier version of ID after installing the latest and damaged or removed the file that handles the association. You didn't say if this is Mac or PC, but it's fairly common to happen on PC and the recommended fix is to reinstall the versions you need, in chronological order, so the icon handler is restored and will show you the correct icon for each version (that isn't available for Mac users) and will set the file association to the last version installed.

Adobe photoshop lightroom won't install on my Mac - error can not open file

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom4 will not install on my Mac. "Error can not open file" when trying to open will installer. If I cannot get it to work I would like to return product.

What version of Mac OS are you using? What is the exact name of the file which you are double clicking on? If you right click on the file and select Get Info what does it state under the Open With section?

Can't open file "~/sites/index.html." in iWeb09

I have been searching through posts and I have noticed some that are very similar to this question, but are not exactly related. My domain file worked fine before upgrading to iWeb09. Now I get the error: can't open file "~/sites/index.html." Has anyone found a way to import the iWeb08 domain file into version 09?
Nice job Apple! How can you release a product that does not correctly import or update the file from the previous version(s)? There is no way that you could have missed this in testing...

You will never be able to open this file with iWeb, because, as it states it is a User/Sites/index.html file and iWeb cannot open this files - anything with html on the end of it is already published and iWeb cannot open this. It is not the same as your domain file.
Go to User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites and try opening your domain file, rather than something that is already published. iWeb cannot import - at least not published pages.

Getting error Can't open file "~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2." when trying to open iWeb?

I recently had to replace my harddrive a few months back and tried to open my iWeb to update my website. When I click to open it, I get "Can’t open file “~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2.” I uploaded iLife again but that didn't seem to help.

Did you confirm that you have a Domain.sites2 file in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder? If so double click on it to try to open with iWeb. If that doesn't work try the following:
delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home()/Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.

When I try to open iweb I get the following message: Can't open file "~/Sites/NAVIGATOR/index.html." How do I fix this? Using 10.6.3 soon to be 10.6.6 and then Lion.

When I try to open iweb I get the following message: Can’t open file “~/Sites/NAVIGATOR/index.html.” How do I fix this? Using 10.6.3 soon to be 10.6.6 and then Lion. I have never opened the product before and have had it on the computer since new.

Go into your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and see if there's a file titled Domain.sites. If there is double click on it and see if iWeb opens.
If there is no Domain file there do the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.

Vi error on nfs mount; E212: Can't open file for writing

Hi all,
I've setup a umask of 0 for testing on both NFS client (Centos 5.2) and NFS server (OSX 10.5.5 server).
I can create files as one user and edit/save out as another user w/o issue when directly logged into the server via ARD.
However, when I attempt the same from an NFS mount on a client machine, even as root I get the following error using vi;
"file" E212: Can't open file for writing
Looking at the system.log file on the server, I see;
kernel[0]: add_fsevent: no name hard-link! dropping the event. (event 2 vp == 0xa5db510 (-UNKNOWN-FILE)).
This baffles me. My umask is 0 meaning files I create and attempt to edit as other users are 777, but I cannot save out edits unless I do a wq! in vi. At that point, the owner of the file changes to whomever did the vi.
This isn't just a vi issue as it happens using any editor, but I like to use vi.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Hey, beer is on me!

Hi all,
Thanks for the replies
I've narrowed it down to a Centos client issue.
Everything works fine using other Linux based OS's as clients.
Since we have such a huge investment in Centos, I must figure out a workaround. Apple support wasn't much help as usual however they were very nice.
There usual response is "its unsupported".
If Apple really wants to play in the enterprise of business space, they really need to change there philosophy. I mean telling me that I shouldn't mount home directories via NFS is completely rediculus.
What am I supposed to use then, Samba of AFP? No, I don't think so. No offense to Microsoft but why would I use a Windows based file sharing protocol to mount network shares in a Nix env???

Iweb installed on a new computer but i have this error message: Can't open file "~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2."

I have just installed ilife on my new computer from my disk. I have several backups of my webpage from my old computer. Everything would be great if I could just run the program. When I click the icon for iWeb I get the following message: Can’t open file “~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2.”
Somebody please help! I desperately need to update my website.

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

"Can't open file - not a valid pdf"

Hi,
This seems to have been asked before but I can't find an answer!!
I have a small app that i use for work which essentially just links to pdfs stored on a wordpress site
All has been working well until recently when android phones can no longer open the files - they get a "can't open file - not a valid pdf file" message
It seems to happen with many but not all the files. Some examples of problematic ones are:
http://uhbsosguidelines.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/transfusionmajorhaemorrhagecompressed. pdf
http://uhbsosguidelines.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/aagbi_la_toxicitycompress.pdf
http://uhbsosguidelines.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/anaphylaxis-under-anaesthesiaupdated02 14compresresave.pdf
Oddly, it seems only to be a problem when trying to open directly from the link in the app into adobe reader. If you download the file onto the phone THEN open it in Reader it works fine!
As I say, this seems to be a recent problem - has been working perfectly up until now.
I'd really appreciate it if you have any thoughts / suggestions - I don't want to have to ask all the users to install a different PDF reader app!

Thanks for reporting the issue. We have been able to reproduce it at our end and shall let you know when this gets fixed in one of the future releases.
Thanks,
Adobe Reader Team
