"cannot copy necessary linked files" when trying to package files

I am trying to package files for a customer and I get the message "cannot copy necessary linked files". Nothing shows as missing or any errors.  Anyone else encountered this?

It's REALLY annoying that this hasn't been fixed...
In Sweden we use a lot of å, ä, ö. And it's never a problem to name files with these characteres (and yes, I use an Apple computer).
Before you could always copy all the files without any problems, but these days you need to rename them.
Which can a totall nightmare if you have a file with hundreds of pictures... then you need to go through the whole list of links, carefully change all the names and then update them every single picture one by one.
Which means hours of totally meaningless work.

    Can you select all Links in the Links Panel
    Use the Flyout Menu on the top right of panel.
    Choose "Utilities>Copy Links to"
    And see if that works.

    Cannot copy necessary linked file ERROR.  HELP ME!! I can't make a package

    What have you tried? Often, this happens when a linked file is open...perhaps at the hands of another user across a network where you can't see. If that's not the case, and you're sure you don't have it open, it's still possible your system just thinks it's open. Reboot the computer and try again.

  • Problème avec Indesign CC, je n'arrive pas à faire un PACKAGE complet, Message : cannot copy necessary linked files(s). Pourtant les liens sont bien mis à jour dans le document. Je n'ai jamais eu de problèmes avec mon ancienne version CS.

    Pouvez-vous m'aider?

    C’est justement ce que j’étais entrain de faire, revérifier tous les noms. Ça m’encourage si c’est ce que vous me suggérez aussi.

    La première chose à faire est de vérifier si un des fichiers placés dans le document InDesign ne comprend pas de caractères « interdits » dans son nom (barre oblique, deux-points, etc.)

  • Why do I get error : InDesign could not package the document ' name of file ' . Cannot copy necessary linked file(s).

    I am create a very basic 36 page magazine. I have never ever encounter this issue in the 10 years I have been creating these. I have been getting this issue ever since the cloud InDesign. It is making it very difficult to get my work to press. I have no errors! All items are linked. I've gone through and relinked. I've removed items. I feel like I've tried many things. Anyone have any ideas???

    Thank you so much!!! I just did a test run with an old file and changed all of the file names that had symbols and it worked!! It packaged for me without errors. So great!!!!

  • InDesign CC won't package due to "Cannot copy necessary font(s)" error.

    Every time I try to package out a file in InDesign its gets about 3/4s of the way through and then shows the "Cannot copy necessary font(s)" dialog box. I have read on certain discussions it may be a font issue. When I remove ALL fonts from my computer font library and use only preset Adobe fonts, Arial Regular for example, it works fine, then as soon as I use a font say, Helvetica Neue Light, I get the error. I have only recently upgraded to CC and all of the existing fonts in my library have always worked fine and never been a problem when packaging... However due to the tests with different fonts, it seems to be a font issue and not a links/filename issue like other people have had.

    I am experiencing the exact same problem/same error message as Brendan. I just installed InDesign CC; was using CS5 prior, and WAS having NO issues with the same fonts being packaged (all Myriad Pro family). In the Package dialog box > Fonts section; this is displayed: "8 Fonts Used, 0 Missing, 0 Embedded, 0 Incomplete, 0 Protected." The Show Problems Only checkbox IS checked, no problems flagged, no errors in the Preflight panel either. On the "More Info" panel within the "Find Font" menu, every one of the fonts used has "Restrictions: Normal".  Packaging with the "Report" button option selected is not helpful, (you'll get a text file with YourJob_report.txt, showing no font errors) InDesign stops packaging but creates a job Folder containing a "Document Fonts" folder with only a tmp file inside. Extract that and read it in a Text Editor. Here's what I found:

    It seems MyriadPro Black Condensed MAY be the culprit in my case.
    By the way, isn't it a bit redundant to manually create a "Document Fonts" folder, drag / copy all the fonts used in my file into that folder, THEN to try and "package" them— again?! What ? Isn't that the whole point of the feature, to perform that exact task?

  • "cannot copy necessary font(s)"

    Using latest version of InDesign (9.1) and Mavericks OSX and get "cannot copy necessary font(s)" error message everytime I try and package. I've repaired disk permissions, unlocked all fonts in my doc, added all the document fonts to InDesign fonts folder, everything I've seen suggested...to no avail. I've spent almost two days trying to troubleshoot and up against a print deadline. Help?!

    I'm using various weights of Gotham and MuseoSlab...that's it. I'm not sure about a patch but I've updated to the most recent version on InDesign CC. I've even tried converting all of my fonts to outlines and I'm still getting the error message.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • [SOLVED]Cannot copy/cut/paste files in Konqueror

    Hi all, I am using KDE4.1.2 (official version). My konqueror cannot copy/cut/paste files in 'file manager' mode, the copy/cut/paste items in the right click menu are always faded out, and C-x/C-c/C-v hotkeys do not work either. However, it can read/write/rename/delete files normally. In fact, 'Move to' and 'Copy to' menu works too. Meanwhile, dolphin does not have this problem. I am a little confused.:mad:

    Hello,
    I'm using kdemod, konqueror 4.1.4 in i686, and the paste is always greyed out (same happens with the button in the taskbar). The "copy" action seems to be enabled through ctrl-c and the right-click, but there is no way to say, because no paste can be done. Deleting files works, so it does not seem to be related to permissions.
    Regarding the post
    http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57749
    I installed konq-plugins, but it did not help. The paste is also greyed out in dolphin.
    I wonder if anyone is having this same issue? I thought this was solved in 4.1.3
    Thanks!

  • Invalid Namespace when trying to package AIR application

    I am using a self-signed certificate when trying to package
    my application, but when I run the command to package it I get the
    following error: "Invalid namespace
    http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.0"
    Then it leaves a .tmp file in the directory where I ran the
    batch file containing the package statement.
    What should be done from here?

    Check which version of adt you are using. Sounds like you are
    using a beta release, which wouldn't recognize the final 1.0
    namespace.

    By that, I assume you mean Mass Storage Mode? To my understanding, there is nothing within the Desktop Software itself for copying files in this manner. Only via Mass Storage Mode are you able to manage your BB as a USB drive.

    Do you have content protection and/or encryption enabled on your Media Card?
    Exactly what is the file you wish to copy/move?
    Can you copy it somewhere else...e.g., to your PC?

  • "Cannot Start Video Chat" error when trying to do video conferences

    Ahoy!
    I've recently upgraded to a new still camera that unfortunately doesn't work with iChatUSBCam, so I invested in a nearly-new iSight to use with my PowerMac G4 instead. Although one-way video chat conferences work fine, I keep getting the error "Cannot Start Video Chat" whenever I try to do a video conference.
    The full error message reads:
    "*Cannot Start Video Chat*
    Your computer is not capable of initiating a multiperson video chat.
    Click Text Chat to invite the selected people to chat."
    There are no error codes or any other text in this message. The available buttons are the purple ?, 'Text Chat' or 'Cancel'.
    I have tried this on both my 1.25ghz PowerMac G4 and my 1.33ghz PowerBook G4, and my friends I am trying to chat with have tried to initiate the conference on their 2.16ghz Intel Core Duo MacBook and MacBook Pro, only to receive the same messages too.
    When doing a one-way videochat, the + button to add more people to the conference is greyed out for all of us as well. We all display the video conference button (camera with the extra pages behind it) next to our names on our buddy lists though, so our computers all believe we're capable of it!
    When clicking the ? button on the "Cannot Start Video Chat" dialogue, it brings me to the help page that tells me:
    +"To join a multiperson video conference, you need any G5 computer, or a 1 GHz single processor G4, or a dual processor 800 MHz G4, and a broadband connection to the Internet.+
    +To host a multiperson video conference, you need any G5 computer, or a 1 GHz dual processor G4. In addition, you need an Internet connection that supports a minimum download bandwidth of 384 Kbps, and a minimum upload bandwidth of 384 Kbps."+
    Both of my machines are above 1ghz G4s, so according to this help file, it shouldn't prohibit me from at least joining a conference when I'm not the host, but both of my Intel-based friends get the same message when trying to host as well. We are all on respectable Broadband or Cable internet connections, so that shouldn't limit it!
    Anyone got any ideas what the problem is and how to fix it? I see no reason why this shouldn't work!
    Thanks!

    Hi
    First have you all set the Quicktime streaming setting, goto sys prefs/quicktime/streaming/streaming speed, set to 1.5mbps(dont use automatic)
    In ichats prefs click on video and change bandwidth limit to NONE.
    Restart iChat.
    Do a speed test on all sides and tell us the UP AND DOWNload speeds http://www.speedtest.net/
