Copying Files to Server is Slow/Saving Corrupts the file

I am running 4 computers in this system.
1 G4 Tower
Running OS X Server 10.4.11
There are 2 drives in this computer. 1 is the system drive, the other the file drive.
1 Mac Mini
Running OS X 10.4.11
1 G5 Tower
Running OS X 10.5.2
1 PC
Running Windows XP Pro
The system has been running smoothly for about 8 months. However, coming in after the holiday weekend I began to experience some problems. I was downloading a file via Fetch from the Mac Mini to the Server and fetch seemed to crash. So I downloaded the file to my desktop and then tried copying it over to the server at which time finder seemingly crashed. It turns out it was just copying very slowly. A 20 megabyte file is averaging about 14 minutes to copy. There is a switch and it is a gigabit switch with appropriate cables. While it tries to copy the file over to the server it essentially freezes the Mac Mini so that no other work is possible. And to cancel the copy you actually have to relaunch the finder. After realizing that it wasn't going to work I copied the file to a flash drive and put it on the PC. Then I tried to copy from there to the Server and had the same problem. My boss tried other files from his G5 tower and had the same problem. The PC finally copied over a file after 14 minutes and it seemed to open ok but when I tried to save it the progress bar was extremely slow and eventually said that it could not save and the file was now corrupted.
So on the server I repaired both disks and repaired permissions on the system drive. I also ran disk warrior. In WorkGroup manager I propagated all permissions. None of this has seemed to do anything to help. I've rebooted all 4 computers several times along with the switch all to no avail...It's a strange circumstance I know, so thanks in advance.

Sounds like a classic duplex mismatch problem.
Check all the devices (client, server, and intermediate switches) are running in full-duplex mode.
If you have a mismatch (e.g. the server is in full duplex but the switch is in half duplex mode) you'll get this kind of problem.

How to fix file when it says, "Cannot open file " ". Adobe Indesign does not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file may be missing, or file may be open in another application." It worked one second, I saved and closed the file, then tried to reopen and now it won't work. I am using Adobe InDesign CS5. It is the only version on my comp. I have tried opening on another comp & copying the file – same error comes up. PLEASE HELP

First check the version of the document with Jongware's script "Identify.jsx" (ExtendScript/JavaScript).
You can find it here:
[Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
If it is CS 5.5 or above, you need someone to open it in the version the script says and export an IDML representation from that. Another way would be to install a 30days version of CS6 or above (CC) and do it yourself.
In regards of the script showing a result for InDesign files higher than CS6:
CS7 = CC v9
CS8 = CC v10 = CC-2014 or CC2014.1

How to publish to an FTB server in iWeb 2 using the File ➙ Publish to Folder option??

I was just given the following advice regarding publishing to an FTP other than MobileMe.
Web 08 does not have that feature (drop down menu to publish from "site" icon). You will need to upgrade to iWeb 3 in iLife 11 in order to get that feature. You can get iLife 11 at the online Apple Store while supplies last since iWeb (and iDVD) have been discontinued by Apple
To pubish to an FTB server in iWeb 2 use the File ➙ Publish to Folder menu option and then use a 3rd party FTP client like Cyberduck to upload the site files.
Follon-on question, can anyone provide more details on how to do exactly what was suggested? I toyed with it and can only get it to publish to a folder on my desktop, but not to an external FTP. (I have already purchased a web-host package, just need to publish to it!)

Okay. When you publish your site from iWeb to a local folder what you will get is one site folder - this site folder will have the same name as you gave your site in iWeb and one separate index.html file.
Your site folder contains an index.html file as well as the separate index.html file. You NEED both.
What you need to do is firstly using Cyberduck or whatever, upload your site folder to your host into whatever folder you need to upload to on the server - could be 'public_html', 'htdocs' or whatever - this is your root folder.
You then need to upload your separate index.html file to your server too, but this index file needs to sit outside your site folder because it needs to point in towards the index.html file that is in your site folder - this is the first page of your site.
You don't delete or duplicate any index files - iWeb produces the two index files that you need when you publish to a local folder - one index file in the site folder itself and one separate index file that sits outside the site folder and points into the first page of your site.
Also, remember to call the first page of your site something like Home or Welcome, but DO NOT name it index.
By the looks of things here you have not uploaded your index files correctly.
What I would suggest that you do is start over - so open Cyberduck and connect to your server and go and delete your site folder and your other index file if it is still there.
Go back to iWeb and publish to a local folder again and notice that you have both your site folder and separate index.html file.
Now go and open Cyberduck again and connect to your server and note where you need to upload your files to.
Now go and upload your Site Folder to your server and once this has finished go back and upload your separate index.html file, but this needs to sit outside your site folder. If you do this, then your site should display okay - as long as your other index file is pointing into to the first page of your site it should display correctly.

help!!

Max. path length is 255 characters, or perhaps there are some non-displaying characters hidden there. Try dropping a song you want to add to iTunes into the Automatically to iTunes folder to see if that works any better.

My Adobe Illustrator is CS6 and it corrupts the file if I save it using accents

My Adobe Illustrator is CS6 and it corrupts the file if I save it using accents. How do I fix this?
I mean, if I save a file called "crachá" I'm using an accent on "a" so it showed as "á" but if I do this Illustrator says the following error:
"The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different foulder"
and when I try to open it says:
"The file "Crachá.ai" is in an unknown format and cannot be opened."
So, my solution is to create a new file and call it "Cracha", without the accent. But it never happened before. How can I fix this legitimately?
Thanks.

As for the resolution problem: upsampling an image doesn't improve its quality, because there's simply not enough information there.
As for the warning you get: it's most likely caused by RGB color mode or by placed RGB content that interacts with other content in the file (e.g. because you applied transparency)
In English it's this one:
As far as I see it there's no alternative to learning the basics of printing, color management and transparency. This is nothing that can be done by some forum posts.
Printing:
http://rufus.deuchler.net/2011/06/adobe-publishes-a-new-creative-suite-555-printing-guide. html
You need to understand what's happening on conversion of RGB to CMYK color space, which will happen when printing to offset presses. When you print on office printers, something else happens and all kinds of color may come out, because these machines sometimes do their own color correction and everything depends on how you set up the machine.
Provided you check the PDF in Acrobat: you need to set up color management there as well. This might lead to the differences (greenish) you're seeing.
Find a good book on color management and read the manual:
Creative Suite * Understanding color management (there's more about the subject)
As for transparency:
http://partners.adobe.com/public/asn/en/print_resource_center/Transparency-DesignGuide.pdf
http://partners.adobe.com/public/asn/en/print_resource_center/TXPGuide.pdf
Before sending files to a print service provider you need to get information on how they need the file. Most providers won't accept PDFs generated with "No color conversion". Or they won't guarantee for the output.
What you see on your monitor won't necessarily match the printed result unless your system is correctly calibrated and color management set up. And even then there might be differences.
Can't you contact this former colleague, pay him an amount of money and let him teach you the tools of the trade?

Final Cut Crashed and then corrupted the file. So Final cut wouldn't open up. I tried reloading the backup, trashing the prefs file, systematically going through the 3 previous versions and opening them by themselves one by one to no avail.

Final Cut Crashed and then corrupted the file. So Final cut wouldn't open up. I tried reloading the backup, trashing the prefs file, systematically going through the 3 previous versions and opening them by themselves one by one. I found Final Cut now loads but each of the backups and files in the previous 3 versions won't load. I've worked on the project for 3 weeks. Im suprised the backup files won't load either!?! I've only rendered 1 low res version. I am thinking I will have to rebuild the project in Final Cut 7. That is simply too risky to have all my back ups not load up!!

I'm a little confused by this?
Final cut now opens if launch older projects. But if I actually click on the project it crashes. Im not sure what you mean by events? I've moved them from the events folder.
but when I open up and of the projects the FInal Cut opens but then wont load the project even with no events in the FInal Cut Events folder.

Surprising nobody in this community knew this.

However, when I click on record in that window I the following error message pops up:

If I have a pic in more than one album, does iPhoto make more than one copy of that pic? When I search the file name on finder, it seems to be showing one copy of that file for every album it's in.

If I have a pic in more than one album, does iPhoto make more than one copy of that pic? When I search the file name on finder, it seems to be showing one copy of that file for every album it's in.

No it doesn't. Albums simply reference the photos in the Library. A single shot can be in 100 albus and use no extra disk space at all.
If you have the same shot in two Events then yes, the file is duplicated.
When I search the file name on finder, it seems to be showing one copy of that file for every album it's in.
The Finder doesn't really understand the iPhoto Library. It's quite possible for the iPhoto Library to contain many files with the same name. The Library also contains different versions of the same shot - thumbnail, originals and edited version. This is normal.

.mp3 files that used to play now say 'the file is corrupt' but they play fine in google crome. Do you have problems with your default mp3 player?

I've posted a number of mp3 file links on our website. All have been functioning and playing well until this week, they are no longer playing when clicked on. The new tab opens, thinks, then says that the "video cannot be played because the file is corrupt". These files are able to be downloaded and played from individual computers and will play fine in other browsers - such as Google Chrome.
Not sure if there is an issue with Firefox default mp3 player?

I assume that this is because of the way the MP3 file is encoded.
Sample rate: 22050 Hz
Bitrate: 32 kb/s
If I open the file in a tab then I see a media player, but inspecting the page source shows a video tag with no source attribute, so Firefox seems to have a problem with decoding the media header despite the audio/mpeg content type.
I don't know what to do about this apart from playing the file in an external player or play the file via an object or embed tag to make Firefox use a plugin.
Using a bookmarklet like this to force an audio tag doesn't work as well:
<pre><nowiki>data:text/html,<audio src="%S" controls>
</nowiki></pre>

VI Analyzer "Some VIs and/or tests have been added to or removed from your file system since you last saved this configuration file."

When I run VI analyzer and open our standard config file, the message "Some VIs and/or tests have been added to or removed from your file system since you last saved this configuration file." appears. Upon clicking OK, selecting something to analyze, and moving on to the VI Analyzer - Select Tests dialog, the Tests selection control is completely empty and the Analyze button is greyed out.
I'm runing LabVIEW 2013 on Windows 7, VI analyzer did work before, and I have tried both repairing and uninstalling LabVIEW (then reinstalling) already. If I do not select a config file or try to reset all test configurations, the Tests control remains empty.
Is there any way to reinstate the tests, or fix just the VI Analyzer toolkit?
The only thing that I remember changing since I last ran the analyzer is that I installed DIAdem.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The suggested search (from LV2013) brought me to the 2014 toolkit,
That is unfortunate.
Perhaps the Tools network needs a tweak
But, I had assumed you had your SSP up to date and LabVIEW 2014 installed. The download would have worked then

The File name property is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters

I have an SSIS task that has run successfully for years. They just moved the dtsx to a new server and now it is failing.
Issue:
The task has a data flow that writes a raw file destination. It then has a subsequent data flow that reads the raw file destination.
The path and name of the raw file is passed to each of the data flows via the same variable.
The raw file resides in a folder on the server in the same path that the dtsx resides in.
The task fails with the "The File name property is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters" error when trying to access the raw file.
What we have done to troubleshoot:
1. I ran the task successfully on my local machine so it is definitely a server issue.
2. The first thing we were seeing was that it failed trying to write to the raw file. The task is set to "Create Always".
3. We saw that the dba's copied over the entire directory structure from the old server which included a previously created raw file, so we deleted the raw file.
4. We reran the task and it successfully wrote a new raw file but then failed on reading the raw file with the same error as above.
5. We reran the task AGAIN and this time it failed trying to write the raw file throwing the same error as above.
6. The dba looked at the directory and the account that performs the task has full control.
7. The dba looked at the raw file that was created and verified that the account that performs the task has full control of the file and that it is the owner of the file.
Summary:
The task fails when trying to access the file EXCEPT when the file does not exist. In that situation it can write the file but subsequently fails in accessing it again.

Hi Whalensdad,
Based on my research, the issue can be caused by the following reasons:
There are some invalid characters in the File name at package runtime. In this scenario, just as Russ said, could you please post the value that is in the File name variable? Also use a Script Task with Messagebox.show to show the variable values at runtime.
May be it changes to others at run time.
The account runs the package not having access to all the folders in the path. Since you are moving the dtsx file from one server to the current server, do you also move the raw file to the same folder in the current server? Does the user runs the package
have access to all the folders in the path? To solve this, please ensure that the user has access to all folders and the raw file in the path on the current server.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

Please see the response above. I can't use a message box on a server so I logged the values to the database. The resource account has full control to the folder. I haven't been able to get the DBA to check the SQL Agents permissions, but I was always under
the impression that if you use "Run As" on the task, it will not use the SQL Agent but the account you identify it to "Run As". The "Run As" account has full control on the folder and file.

Installs fine for me, so I'd guess you got an incomplete or corrupt download. See the Further Information area of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for direct links and download a fresh copy of the installer.

I am running InDesign CS5.5 and trying to open an In Design File but getting an error message. " Cannot open the file "PDavidLCover.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file me be open in another application."Please help I really need to get this file open.

Since you've shown us the folder contents it's a good bet it isn't in use (no lock file). And it doesn't look like the file is mis-named as there doesn't seem to be anything else there that would be the .indd file (but just in case, open it in TextEdit and paste the first few lines here so we can see what the file header says), so the most likely case is the file is damaged. Is that on a removable device of some sort?
You can try the tool at Repair corrupt InDesign Adobe files on Mac OS X or send me a link to the file by private message and I'll try the recovery tool I have for Windows.
