Cannot Lock File Error Message in FrameMaker 10

When opening a multi-file book in FrameMaker (v.10.0.0.338), I'm receiving an error message that states, "Cannot Lock File. Cannot lock this file for your use. Your changes to it may conflict with the work of others." We're a small department, I'm the only one that works in this book, and I know no one else has opened these files. The error message gives me the option to "Continue" or "Cancel." Selecting "Continue" opens Save Document, but when I try to save I receive another message, "Save Document. The directory of disk t: is full. Choose another directory or disk." I work on a network drive, have rebooted, but no luck. I've used FrameMaker for years and have never experienced this issue. Thoughts?? Getting a bit desperate here.

Check the drive out - sounds like permissions may have changed on you or you really are running out of space. The other thing is to look for .lck files that were left behind; sometimes they don't get cleared when you exit out.

Cannot open file error message

Whenever I go to open a PDF file for university I cannot open it, it comes up with an error message of opening Adobe Acrobat and accepting the End user license agreement?

Do exactly what the message says: open Adobe Reader (as a separate application, not inside the browser) and accept the EULA.

"Cannot Restore Files" error message while attempting to restore entire HD

I have searched this forum and can't find any help on this particular problem. I tried to uses a program (FileVault) to protect some very large directories. It really scrambled all my files so I decided to "simply" do a full restore from my Time Machine. Normally it is connected wirelessly to my iMac, but I physically moved the Time Capsule down to next to the iMac and connected them via Ethernet cable. I wanted a clean HD so I also did a reinstall of Leopard from the installation disc asking it to NOT archive but wipe the disk clean (I forget exactly what the technical phrase for this is)
I then booted the computer off the Leopard Installation DVD and then went to "restore system" and selected the Time Machine.
It had NO problem finding the Time Machine. It gave me all the previous backup points in time---I selected one about 24 hours before I ran into problem.
It started restoring with no problem other than it was predicting about 80 hours to do the whole restore (have 900Gb on the HD so this didn't seem too unusual).
After about 2% of the restoration was indicated on the progress bar, suddenly the restore stopped and I got an error message that it could "Not restore files" and to "Restart the computer and try again"
OUCH! At least it didn't wait til 99% of the restoration was done and THEN crash!
Would anyone have any ideas?
One thought I had--I had updated the operating system whenever an update came out but since I did a re-install before going to the restore option my iMac is now running 10.5, whereas Time Machine has a 10.5.3 (or whatever) version on it. Should I update the OS on the iMac first?
THANKS!

This has solved loads of people who have this issue and have used an alternate DNS setting. Below are instructions for both iPhone OTA and on you Mac
If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try an OTA (over the air update)
Change DNS Servers
Settings -> Wi-Fi
Click the blue arrow on your connected network
Delete everything in DNS and replace it with 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
Try again
If this works, you will probably want to remove the WiFi network using "Forget This Network" and then reconnect to it to get your original DNS servers back. Alternatively, make a note of the original DNS servers before deleting them and replace it after you are done.
If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try through iTunes
On your Mac
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Network.
Select the network connection service you want to use (such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet, unless you named it something else) from the list, and then click Advanced.
Click DNS, and then click Add at the bottom of the DNS Servers list. Enter the IPv4 address for the DNS server.
You can use OpenDNS
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
or
You can Google Public DNS if you want
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
I have actually repointed my routers DNS so all my devices now point to OpenDNS servers

Unreadable Files: cannot import files error message

I am trying to import old photos from a previous hard drive and get the following message-
Unreadable Files: (# of files)
The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data).
Then it will have the files and their locations that I am trying to open in the box below. These files can be opened with no problems using Adobe Photoshop Elements 3, Canon's Image Browser as well as Preview. They originally came in as digital photos from a Canon digital camera. They used to be able to open in iPhoto with no problem. They either have a [.JPG] extension or none at all. There are a lot of them. Could it be they were used by an older version of iPhoto and are unrecognizable in this one?
I am running iPhoto 4.0.3 Any suggestions?

David:
You just reminded me of one more thing you can try. Log in to another account on your iMac and see if iPhoto will import as it should. If it does then it's a problem with your primary account. One cause might be another preference file that's in conflict with iPhoto. You can use Preferential Treatment to check for any corrupt or damaged user or system preference file. It's not foolproof however. If none are found and it sill won't import, then you can try the following method developed my another user:
Trouble Shooting Preferences
Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Prefs folder (in its entirety) to the desktop. Start iPhoto. Determine if problem is fixed.
If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up. Except for those items that are obviously not related, move the contents to the old Prefs folder on the desktop, replacing what had been there. When in doubt, move the item. The worst thing that can happen is a harmless "alert" message. Then, trash what remains of the new folder. Finally, move the old (but modified) Prefs folder back to the library.
If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the old one back to its original location.
If stlll no go, I'd try reinstalling the 10.2.9 COMBO updater followed by a permissions repair.

How can I open my file after 'cannot find -filename-' error message?

OK, the bottom line is, InDesign crashes and I cannot recover my file. I get a 'Cannot find file' error message when I try to open the file.
I am using CS6 on a MacBookAir, OS X Yosemite.
I have tried finding the 'InDesignFileRecovery' folder, I cannot find it anywhere, it's not in my Library or Caches folder.
However, I do work in dropbox, so I just headed over to dropbox to recover from their 'previous versions'. It starts to get weird. There are lots of previous versions (I save very regularly) but when I download a previous version (that I know was fine) it downloads with a indd.txt extension. So I remove the txt extension and keep the indd and everything looks fine, but then that recovered file gives the same message. I tried renaming the recovered file and opening that, same 'cannot find file' error message.
I can open InDesign and open the file from the day before, but none of the dropbox earlier versions of that day's work. I am SO sick of this happening. It happened to me last week to, so far I have lost 20 hours work :-(
I have tried quitting InDesign and restarting the Mac, doesn't help. The only thing I can think of is to 'save as' every couple of hours, at least then hopefully I only lose 2 hours work.

Thanks, when you say 'hidden by default' then how does one find it? I have already tried the path you mention and there is no sign of a cache folder with Adobe files. Spotlight doesn't reveal anything either.

Cannot locate original music file error message???

cannot locate original music file error message ??? i transferred to a new laptop then some of my music collection seems to get this message .

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

Cannot Open File error - tried what I know

I have received the dreaded Cannot Open File error. Usually I can manage to recover the file by deleting the lock file or recovering from a backup. This time, nothing is working.
I've searched the forum, and while many people have this issue I cannot find a solution.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi,
Have you checked this article for steps to recover a project from Cache. (Adobe Captivate Cache Projects folder from My Documents)
http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2010/09/recovering-the-project.html
For Future, make sure you have the option to create project Backup on save automatically at the same location where your project is saved. (Edit--Preferences--General-- Generate Project backup)
Thanks,

How do I resolve the "Mozilla cannot find runtime" error message when I try to start Firefox?

Mozilla Firefox updated to version 36.0. When I click on the Firefox icon to open it I receive the message: "Mozilla cannot find runtime" I receive the same message if I try to open Firefox by selecting "firefox.exe" from within the Program Files. I subsequently uninstall Mozilla Firefox and reinstall it. It will open and run normally right after the re-installation. Then if I close the program and try to re-open it again, I get the same "Mozilla cannot find runtime" error message.
The only way I can get Firefox to open is if I uninstall and re-install it every time I want to open it after the initial re-installation.

''sage68 [[#answer-700841|said]]''
<blockquote>
Hi Adriel,
The "Mozilla cannot find runtime" problem has returned. It occurs in two situations:
1. When Firefox tries to download updates using "updater.exe" (version 36.0.0.5531), which causes my "Norton Internet Security" program to notify me with the message: "Auto-Protect has removed security risk Suspicious.Cloud.9.B" This message is shown every time "updater.exe" activates.
</blockquote>
I also have experienced this during several upgrades, not just the latest. (I am using Windows XP and Norton Security Suite.) Norton identifies c:\program files\mozilla firefox\updated\xul.dll with the Suspicious.Cloud.9.B virus and removes the file. I can set the Norton installation to accept xul.dll but it would make more sense for a Mozilla expert to contact Norton and work out a permanent solution, for all who are facing this problem.

Quick time 'this is not a movie file' error message

PLEASE HELP!
i've recently downloaded some movies off the internet (.avi files) and although all have originally opened and played in quicktime, i am now getting 'this is not a movie file' error messages for all of them. I've had this before and restarting the computer has usually helped - but not this time. I've also tried reinstalling quicktime, as well as installing divx (i get an error message saying this file cannot be opened). for some reason i can't install VLC (some message about not being able to mount).
I've also burnt the files to a cd and tried playing from there (Rather than my external hard drive) but still won't work. The files won't even open up a preview... i really don't understand what could have happened though - i've opened and played all of them when i first downloaded them and they worked just fine!
i'd appreciate any help.
cheers

The fact that you cannot even mount one file or install another makes it sound more like an OS problem than a QT problem, though I guess in part some people deserve what they get with pirated movies through torrents. Have you repaired permissions?
The files you cannot even use that are not the videos in question indicate your problems lie elsewhere.

Couldn't Save File - Error Message

Recently after adding a few more pages and updating some existing pages on my site, I have been met with an error saying I cannot save my website using the save function of iWeb, I receive the "Couldn't Save File" error message, however it doesn't tell me what file can't be saved or what file might be missing. I am running verision 1.1.2. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Dear DOHCVTEC187:
I had that same error. iWeb would open with a "can't open file :unamed" error, and also would give me a "can't save" error. I searched on the discussions, and found a few things that might help.
First, save/backup your Domain. That is where iWeb saves all that cool web info. It should be located in:
<user>/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
I try to make a back up this when ever I make big changes anyways. Alway a good idea. Burn it to Disk, put it on another HD. Etc. Then delete the original, leaving the folder empty.
Second:
Trash iWeb preferences, located:
<user>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist
Now, use Disk utility to repair permissions. I do this as a helpful step.
Then restart.
After restarting, open up iWeb. Hopefully it opens with out the error, since we are starting from "scratch". It should ask for you to create a new page/ new site. ie, remaking a "domain". Make a singe page. Save and then quit iWeb. It should run smoothly.
Now, go find that "new" domain you just made, and replace it with your old one.
That should help.
Also, one thing that I found when this error happened to me was that I had built links to documents , such as PDF for people to download. Thus the error "couldn't open, unnamed" etc. It was because those links were "broken", so I had to find each link that I pointed to a PDF, and double check that it was still working and pointed to the correct file. Could be a pain in the but if you have alot of PDF's, etc, but it was worth it.
Hope this helps!

"Unable to Check Out File Error" Message

I'm new to using Adobe products, so forgive me if this is a dumb question! My graphic designer sent me a INDD file to edit the text in and when I try to open it in both InDesign and InCopy, I receive an "Unable to Check Out this File" error message. I just downloaded InDesign CC and InCopy CC (the free trial versions). She said that all settings on her end should allow me to view it. Any help is much appreciated!
Thank you!

I've just experienced the same error message in CS4. I got rid of it by going to the Links panel, selecting all the links to Incopy, and Unlinking.
