Cannot open copy of InDesign CC document located on a network server

Adobe InDesign CC Mac v 9.2.1
We have always had the possibility to «Open Copy» of InDesign documents which is in use by another user by using the option «Open Copy» in the Open-dialog.
After upgrading to InDesign CC last week (currently v 9.2.1) we are now not longer able to open a copy of files in use, neither duplicate the file in Finder.
When we try to open a copy we get this error message:
«This file is already open by another user or another application. This file may be stored on a network server and cannot be opened until the other user closes it.»
This is extremly irritating, and we spend a lot of time in closing files, duplicate them and open the copy manually. This has never been a problem until this CC version.
I assume this is i a bug from Adobe, and that it will be fixed soon! I hope not this is a «new feature»!
Annyone experienced the same problem and found a fix/workaround for it? Please...

Tried AFP and SMB on Mac (Windows server running Extremezip). Also doesn't work from a Windows PC-we get the same error.
A previous post from an Adobe staff member indicated this was a known InDesign issue. We (and it looks like a few others) were looking for a fix.
Thanks!

HT3350 what can you do when you get this warning? "Scouting Book Collection Index" could not be handled because Numbers cannot open files in the "Numbers Document" format.

“Scouting Book Collection Index” could not be handled because Numbers cannot open files in the “Numbers Document” format.

This file was created in 2002 in MSword but this had been forgotten.
When I went to open it.... (MSword) was not a program option on my laptop. For some reason, I assumed that either Pages or Numbers wouild open the file. How the file was created was forgotten and had no file Info, but I new that it was a table of valuable information.
The warning threw me off, because it led me to believe that it was a Numbers file. which Numbers would not open. A paradox.
I took the file to a laptop in OSXpanther with MSoffice and it opened in MSword. Problem Solved.
Thank you for your help.

I close the textedit programme , open Pages, click on the 09 pages file to be opened and the message "The document "7-09 receipts" could not be opened. TextEdit cannot open files in the "Pages document"

I close the textedit programme , open Pages, click on the 09 pages file to be opened and the message "The document “7-09 receipts” could not be opened. TextEdit cannot open files in the “Pages document”
What's this??? How do I open the pages doc??? Kalavati

You have obviously not done what you think you have done.
You have tried to open a .pages document in TextEdit which can't read them.
If you are confused which program you are in look to the top left of the menu.
You can either drag the .pages file onto the Pages icon on the Dock, open it from within Pages' Open dialog, double click on it or right mouse click > open with.

2146827284Microsoft Excel cannot open or save any more documents because there is not enough available memory or disk space

Hi Experts,
I am getting below error when Exporting data from my one web application to the Excel 2010 on Windows Server 2008 R2 ,

Type : System.Exception, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b11a5c481859e569
Message : -2146827284Microsoft Excel cannot open or save any more documents because there is not enough available memory or disk space.
• To make more memory available, close workbooks or programs you no longer need.
• To free disk space, delete files you no longer need from the disk you are saving to.
The disk space is 30 GB free, I have cleared all the temp files, increased the virtual memory & internet temp files size to max but no luck

You want to use this one here - MMC
comexp.msc /32
THAT will launch the MMC process
as 32 bit then you'll the Microsoft Excel Application.
Right Click -> Properties.
What I did at this point was to select the Identity tab and then select "The Interactive User" (the default was "The launching user"). My app pool was already running as "LocalSystem". I believe by running it as the Interactive User now that it
has the right permissions to save workbooks.
Everything worked after this.
This was a tough one!

Hello Beckieor,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning network issues:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
Follow these steps to troubleshoot the above issues:
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.

Hi
I constantly get same message. When I open up my windows laptop all works fine so I guess it's a bug that apple refuse to admit to.

Safari cannot open the web page becauseit could not connect to the server.

Hello, recently I have been trying to access a web page that I can only access if I delete the "www." in my browser before I hit the "go" button. If I do not delete the "www." I get the error message "Safari cannot open the page because it could not connect to the server. I have tried restarting my ipad 2 by holding down the home and lock button but it has not worked, I do have 7 tabs open right now but I dont think that would be a problem would it? I have full internet access so I dont think tap hat would be it.

That didnt work :/ This website is hosted on a platform called enjin and I have noticed every enjin website is doing this to me so could it be something on there end? I havnt heard from anybody else who is having the same problem.
The website looks different from what it did before this started happening to me, here is a screenshot of what it looks like now.

"safari cannot open the page because it could not connect to the server"

As stated above. I have had this problem for the last 2-3 days. I have always been able to connect to the internet over wi-fi using my iphone but this problem had persisted these few days. This is a problem because my iPhone shows that I do have connection to the internet. ( I assume this from looking at the internet signal stregth bar at the top of the screen.) My laptop and computer have no problem but the message "safari cannot open the page because it could not connect to the server," keeps on appearing on my phone whenever I try to access the internet.
If it is of any relevance I use an iPhone 4s, reasonably new, practically 2 months. I have never had problems before this. Thank you for your help in advance.

The connection strength icon you are referring to has nothing to do with the Internet. It simply indicates the strength of your connection to your local WiFi network. However, even when this icon appears you may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPhone a valid local network IP address. To check on this go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix for this can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power to it for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPhone (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

Cannot Open files in InDesign CS4

Yesterday I was working on a file located on a network computer. I have been working on this file for a month or so, everytime it worked just fine. Today I come in to work, and Indesign does not wan to open the file it gives me this error: Cannnot open the file "XXXXX.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the dile may be open in anotther application.
The weird part is that I have been working on this same file many time without problems. And this is not happening on my computer only but on my co-workers computer as well. We can open any file but files from this network computer cannot be open. Even the file and all the files in this network computer cannot be open and the Indesign Icon doesnt show next to the file name.
Has anybody gone though this? Please shine some light.
Thank you!

I have confirmed it is the Cryptolocker. It came in from a coworkers computer and infected our network drive. I do have a good antivirus but it didnt come from my end. I have been reading online quite a bit and there is no solution other that recovering from back up which I do not have, or paying the ransom. Either way I apprciate your help, and the time you have invested in this matter.
Thank you!

Cannot Open File on InDesign 5

Hi
I am trying to open an indesign file using CS 5 and an error come sup saying: "Cannot open "file name". Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions, or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign."
Above that it has a list that looks like this
TEXT.RPLN
GENERIC PAGE.RPLN
GRAPHICS.RPLN
XML.RPLN
HYPERLINKS.RPLN
FORMFIELD.RPLN
DOCUMENT FRAMEWORK.RPLN
DYNAMICDOCUMENTS.RPLN
Where do I find these plug-ins?

Peter, sorry. I was not intending to insult any of you forum people, and I do appreciate your comments. I was just frustrated at Adobe's lack of assistance, even when I call tech support. Very abrupt, and not helpful at all.
That said, you might like to hear the next bit of news: after our exchange on Monday, I was disgusted and left the software alone for a day. Then yesterday I was using Illustrator, and that dratted Acrobat Reader had again assigned itself to my pdf files. I changed it again, and shut down Illustrator, ready to try again to get some information from the forum and tackle the InDesign problem again. Lo and behold, InDesign suddenly works again!!
I have no idea what fixed it (and I've been checking to see that it still works - sort of like checking if the baby is breathing!! - and so far so good. I'm absolutely stunned. Again,the problem didn't resolve after I used 'speedy pc' but only after I told Acrobat Reader XI that it wasn't the default reader.
Any idea what Acrobat is telling the rest of the programs to make that happen? Or, if not that, any idea at all what would have caused the 'transparency.rpln not loaded' error message? The only other thing I can think of is maybe the buffer got overloaded, or not enough room on the hard drive or overloaded ram chips. Any of that make sense in your experience?

I cannot open the word or PPT documents on windows explorer

I have set up WD My Cloud on my Mac and PC (windows 7).
I am having a problem when I am trying to remotely access the Word and PPT documents on PC (Windows explorer console)... when I double click on a specific word or PPT I get the message: "The server wdmycloud-device 2443682 wd2go is asking for your username and password. The server reports it is from Device Driver". I fill in the My Cloud username and password in the pop-up window....but nothing happens?!??" I would highly appreciate any feedback.

This is a known issue. See the following WD Suupport link for more information. Microsoft Office documents in a device connected through WD My Cloud Remote Web Access cannot be opened The easy workaround to this issue is to use the WD My Cloud Desktop application to open the file into their Microsoft Office application, then edit, then save any Microsoft Office files that are already stored on the WD My Cloud. One obviously will have to copy the Microsoft Office files they want to work on to their WD My Cloud first. The following link, while for the WD My Book Live and from 2012, may (or may not) also work on the WD My Cloud but I have not tried it. It involves using SSH to setup the same username/password one uses on their Windows PC. I typically copy the content to the WD My Cloud then use the WD My Cloud Desktop app remotely to open, edit and save the document to the My Cloud drive. WD2go (webDAV) and MS Office 2013

PC users cannot open my Pages-exported PDF documents

Has anyone encountered this? When I want to give someone a PDF, I need to export it from Pages, choose "Open with Adobe Reader," and then re-save from Reader as a different name. (If I just export from Pages, some PC users cannot open it.) When I look at the file information for these two supposed PDFs, the one that's only exported from Pages says "Portable Document Format (PDF)" and the one opened and resaved with Reader says "Adobe PDF Document." What's going on here? Is there a reason my PC friends can't open a Pages-generated PDF?

Thanks for the suggestions. Funny, when I changed the "Open With" selection inside the "File Info" box to tell it to use Reader, it it still tells me in the "General" information section that it's a "Portable Document Format (PDF)", but it does replace the "Preview" icon in the upper left with the Adobe logo. Only the version that I physically opened with Reader and re-saved lists the "Kind" of document as an "Adobe PDF Document". Wacky.
Regarding the extension, when I exported from Pages, the "Hide Extension" box was unchecked in the "Save" window, yet the file's PDF extension is in fact hidden (and the "File Info" box also says it's hidden). What's up with that? Grr.
Seems like a small bug--now I just have to get some PC-using friends to let me know which ones they can open! Thanks for your (tres rapide) help guys!

I get the message "cannot open file..InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in may be missing or file may be open in another application. This is a pdf file created by InDesign

How do I get the plug-in needed. I have updated InDesign, Acrobat and all other software but didn't help.

InDesign cannot open a PDF natively. You can Place pages from the PDF as linked images, or you can purchase a commercial plugin from Recosoft or Markzware that will convert PDF to InDesign.
