Cannot save configuration for zone files

I'm migrating from 10.3 to 10.4.9. The 10.4.9 system is on a new hard drive so it is a fresh install. I have no problem setting up the BIND config manually from the command line but I like to use Server Admin to start and stop the server. When I noticed I was having problems resolving my servers domain/subdomains, I used Server Admin to take a look at what was going on.
The problem I seem to be encountering is that Server Admin shows that the zones exist but it does not display any of the zone data in the window to the right of the zone list. I did a quick check on the zone files and found them to be configured correctly. When I tried to edit and then save the configuration using the Server Admin GUI I receive an error telling me that the zone had no name and that the configuration could not be saved.
Just to test things out a little bit, I dragged the DNS configuration file from the 10.3 config from the Server Admin Applition, rebooted the system back into 10.4, and dropped that configuration back onto the application window. After this process I can see the zone data in the right hand window but when I click the save button I receive the same error.
My only reference for 10.4 is the Apple Training Series: Mac OS X Server Essentials which describes the Server Admin GUI for the DNS functions and the associated files in a manner that I am familiar with but which are significantly different then what is actually appearing in the Server Admin application for 10.4.9.
Does anyone know what could possibly be wrong?
Thanks

Unfortunately, there are a number of flaws with the Server Admin DNS tool that absolutely require you to modify the files manual. For instance, you cannot properly set up MX records is the zone you are working on is NOT responsible for the mail server. In other words, you can't set up MX records. Also, the name server text fields are bugged in a way that makes it extremely difficult to add more then one name server. The tool is useless until these problems are fixed.
Basically, as you said, I used the dns tool to set up the files, then edited them manually in order to get them into a functional state. I just have to make sure that I don't ever use the tool to edit the configuration as it will blow away any changes that were made manually.
FYI The Server Admin web tool for Apache is also just as annoying, deleting data that has been added manually.

Cannot save Adobe PDF Settings File error

I'm using Acrobat X Pro with Windows 8. I've downloaded a .joboptions file to add to Distiller. I select Settings > Add Adobe PDF settings, browse to the file's location, select the file, and click Open.
Distiller says, "Cannot save Adobe PDF Settings File."
In the Start menu, I right-clicked Adobe Acrobat X Pro and selected Properties > Compatibility > Run this program as Administrator. It didn't help. Suggestions welcome.

I downloaded it from the linked website, and installed it successfully in Distiller 10. I don't know of a "Repair" utility for Distiller, so maybe you should uninstall and install Acrobat X in order to reinstall Distiller 10.

What's the save location for iweb files?

what's the save location for iweb files?

Pre-configure save location for converting files to PDF from shell context menu

Hi all,
I like Acrobat's integration into the Windows Explorer through the shell context menu command "Convert to PDF", which allows me to drag select a number of files (word documents et cetera) to batch convert them into PDF. It beats doing batch processing fr the Acrobat interface.
However, it asks me for the save location of each file individually. I would like to have them saved in the same directory as the original file, as the default option so I won't have to attend to the conversion. I can't find such an option in Acrobat's preferences menu though
Any gurus or users here know of a way around that?
Regards,
Jay

Does your user have custom add-ons besides the Acrobat PDFMaker add-on? If so, try disabling the other add-ons as a test to see if you get the same results.
Does your user have a custom template? Try moving it out and using the standard MS Word template as test?
Did your user have a previous installation of Adobe Acrobat?? If so, check the Add-ons to see if an older version is still registered with MS Word.

Dynamic Configuration for two file adapters communication channels

Hello Experts!!!!!!
     In one of the interface in my landscape, I am using two file adapters for creating two files with different names and at two different destination on F.T.P.
However the receiver service for both the communication channel are same.
In message mapping I am using multi mapping to create two files out a single message.
Now i have a requirement of changing file path and file name using dynamic configuration for both the comm channel.
When i doing dynamic coniguration for both the comm. channel. My interface is creating two files but with same name and on same destination which is set for second communication channel through dynamic configuration.
Here, I guess the second dynamic configuration is over writing the first dynamic configuration and hence creating two files with same name and at same destination.
Please suggest, if separate dynamic configuration for separate communication channel of same receiver service can be done?
Thanks & Regards,
Amol

Thanks for your prompt responses!!!!!
    Is there any way, By which in dynamic configuration I can find out the communication channel name and then change its parameter.
I mean if iam using say comm. channel A and B.
Then in dynamic configuration for A, I will first take communication channel A by calling it and then change its path/file name.
and then do samething for comm. channel B in its dynamic conf.
Regards,
Amol

Dynamic configuration for multiple files

Hi All,
I am new to PI. I have a proxy to file scenario, wherein 3 files are to be generated depending upon the value in a field (site ID) on the same receiver. Site ID can only have 3 different vales. All these 3 files are to have a dynamically defined name.
How can I configure this scenario? Is there any way in which all 3 files can have dynamically defined names? Please help.
Regards
Vipul

if you have only one recored (one site id) in proxy at a time, thn u can write a UDF for dynamic file name..
// UDF: public String SetFileNameDyn(String siteID, Container container) throws StreamTransformationException{
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String myFileName = "";
if(siteID.equals("firstValue")){
     myFileName = "FirstFile1";
}else if(siteID.equals("secondValue")){
     myFileName = "SecondFile2";
}else if(siteID.equals("thirdValue")){
     myFileName = "ThirdFile3";
conf.put(key, myFileName);
return myFileName;

Cannot save or open .ai files that's on a server.

Hello everyone,
My office upgraded to CS4 few month ago, and I am having problem saving and opening AI files. It seems like a server problem but I'm not sure because my co-workers can save and open file without problem. We are using exact same computers with exact same settings.
I can save and open AI files no problem when they are saved on the computer that I used to create the file. However, when I try to save the file to the server, which is a computer on the same network, Illustrator gives me an error massage saying "This file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with different name or in a different folder." No one else has the file open (because I just made this file) and it is not read only. When I click on "OK" Illustrator creates a AI file that is 0 KB in the folder where I was trying to save. If I try to open this file, another error massage "The file 'test.ai' is in an unknown format and cannot be opened"
I can save files as EPS from Illustrator no problem (even on the server) and I can open them normally. All other formats such as, indd, psd, tiff etc. saves fine and I can open them too. Once in a while, Illustrator will not give ma any error code but they still save as 0KB. When I move the file from my computer to the server, the file is not 0KB but I can no longer open the file. It is really strange.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on? Please help. Thank you in advance.

If you do a search on Google i believe you will find links to pages that describe the problem and ffer a solution.
If on windows perhaps this is the problem
http://www.techsupportforum.com/design-forum/graphic-design-digital-imaging-multimedia/409 713-adobe-illustrator-cant-save-file.html
of I do believe there is another issue as well.
I could not find it myself though I am certain there is a fix.
it might be a permissions problem.

So can someone tell me which moronic error I've made this time? :-)

Excellent, thanks, that did the trick!
While I've opened this topic anyway, I have another question. The application in question uses a configuration file which it only looks for in the directory the executable resides in (unless a specific command line argument is given). For this reason, it seems most logical to place the application under /opt. But /opt is not in $PATH by default. What is the best way to add the directory /opt/vpcs to $PATH but to also remove it from $PATH when the application is removed?

Cannot save copies of PDF files on Mac

Every time I try "Save as Copy" it returns error message "There was a macintosh system error (-5000)", or sometimes the error number is (+5000).
I've searched for help but cannot find any reference to this error message. The files have no security settings.
Any help would be gratefully received.

I've never repaired disk permissions on this Mac - do you think it will help?
For an error of that sort, it might. Certainly won't hurt.
As an aside, I tent to repair disk permissions before and after any large(ish) install. Especially system updates. It'll keep your Mac healthy.
Also it doesn't hurt to leave it on overnight and on occassional weekends so it can run repair scripts or use a third party utility like Onyx to run them when you want. You can also repair disk permissions with Onyx.

How do I change the default save location for new files in Pages back from iCloud to my Documents folder?

I just upgraded OSX to Mountain Lion and Pages to 4.2, and because OSX is syncing with my iCloud account, when I go to save a new file in Pages it defaults to try to save to my iCloud account rather than giving me the folder structure on my hard-drive that I prefer. It requires two extra steps to save to the proper place in my Documents folder on my hard drive.
Is there a way to reset the default so that when I go to save a new file, the folder structure opens to the last saved folder (like it does in other non-iCloud applications) rather than defaulting to my iCloud, and to do it without just removing documents from my iCloud account entirely?
I checked the Preferences for both Pages and iCloud and found nothing about this.

What I meant is turn off Documents and Data in iCloud in OS X. Keep it on on your iOS devices. iCloud will sync documents between the iOS devices and make them available on the iCloud web site, but it won't mess up iWorks' open and save dialog boxes. It also won't assume that you want all your documents in iCloud, which I think is undesirable anyway.
Keep iOS and OS X separate, and use the web site to move files between the two as necessary.
iOS iWork is different from OS X iWork. There are fewer fonts on an iOS device. iOS iWork programs have slightly different feature sets than OS X iWork programs, and the file formats are different. iCloud automatically converts the file format when necessary, but if you make a habit of saving things directly to iCloud, you are limited to the lowest common denominator between the two versions of iWorks. So why would anyone want iWork on the Mac to open and save documents on iCloud by default?
If you want to store files in the cloud and sync them on your Macs, SugarSync is a much better solution. It lets you choose your sync folders, it doesn't make you reorganize your files, it lets you sync all file types, it doesn't convert files to a different format and back, and it stores everything in the cloud, too. Just the simle act of saving a file backs it up and syncs it. I wouldn't live without it. iCloud is best with iTunes purchases and synchronizing Mac settings and iOS files; I woudln't live without it. The two make an unbeatable combination.

Cannot change preference for JPG file to open in browser rather than download Mac OS 10.5.8

I want to view individual jpg files uploaded to my mobileme account. The URL ends in .jpg. I can view the files as webpages in Safari, but with Firefox, my only choice is to download the file. I tried to change the preferences>applications>jpeg picture>to "use other" but the drop down menu goes right back to always ask. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, and restarted my computer. I have two other macs running 10.5.8, and this happens on both. When I type the same URL into my mac running 10.6.3, a dialog box appears that gives me the option of choosing which application to open the file with (in this case Firefox, so that I can view the file in a web page) rather than just downloading the file. The dialog box in the 10.5.8 doesn't give me the option of choosing an app, only "Save File" or "Cancel". I'm sorry if this is long-winded.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

How to configure for music file loading

I don't know if you can help with this one.
If so, great. If not, I'm not insulted.
I have a pair of Oakley Thumps, which are sunglasses with a built in MP3 player.
I used to have little if any problem loading music on to them from my old windows based Dell computer, by way of the Media Player.
We just got our mac last Sunday (G5 - Tiger version of OS-X), and today was the first day that I hooked up my Thumps. The mac recognized them as Thump 128 (for the memory size) and there is an icon on my desktop. However, the files that were stored were changed to a document file, and now won't play. I tried loading iTunes songs, but they won't play, since they are MP4 (Thumps only play/recognize MP3, WMA and WAV files).
Do you have any tips for how I can go about configuring iTunes, or any other program on my wonderful new mac, to allow me to load songs onto my Thumps?

You will not be able to put (or play)purchased music files onto the device but you should be able to "drag" any .mp3 file onto it.
If you mount the device and double click to open it there may be a folder structure that needs to be followed.
The current files may be in Media Player format (.wma) and can be opened with the WMP for Mac.

Can't find "save as" for excel file in Xcelsius

Hello All
I have created a dashboard using Live Office. I made some changes in my excel which is in my dashboard. Now I want to save the excel from xcelsius to my desktop. But I don't see any save as option in excel sheet inside my xcelsius file. I can import the excel files from my desktop but I don't see any option for exporting my excel to my desktop with Live Office connections. Is there any way to do this? Please help....
Thanks
Raghavendra.G

Hi Raghavendra,
Another way is: you can save the excel to BOE using 'Save to BOE' button in Live office tab and then open the excel in BOE and save it where ever you need it.

Sanjay
