CS2 keeps opening as Read Only. Why?

I am using a student version of ID CS2 in Windows (PC). I am working on a program for an event. It keeps opening as a 'read-only' file and I have to "Save As" to a new location in order to update any changes. If I try to save any changes to the original file, it tells me that the program is being used by one or more programs and it cannot be saved at that time. Is the file corrupt? No one else has worked on this program. I have to have this finished by early next week and I'm afraid I won't be able to give it to the printer in its current condition. HELP!

You should still update to 4.0.5 to take advantage of all the bug fixes. For MacIntosh you'll find it at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3598

  • My external drive keeps setting to read only, why???

    Periodically a 1TB external drive suddenly switches to read only and won't let me save edited documents to it any longer.  It shows as read and write for my access but still won't accept written items.  I'm curious as to why.  It's getting a lot of files but still has significant space.  Is this an address space issue?  Has anyone else encountered this on their Mac? 

    The drive is malfunctioning.

  • Why do attachments in Word open as "read only"?

    Using Apple Mail, all Word document attachments open as "read-only" even if they were sent as read-write or plain .doc files. I have to save as some other file name in order to save them or edit them.
    How do I eliminate this problem?

    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work.

    If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode.  Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the grey Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal.

  • Why does my sub-projects open in read only when master is opened

    I have created a master schedule with 4 sub-projects inserted as read only.
    My problem is that when the master is opened the sub-projects will only open in read only so PMs can not update their schedules when requried.
    I have sold my company on using master schedules and ow it doesnt work any better.  I have not had this problem previous using MSP 2010 so can anyone help me please.

    Krys,
    You are using a dynamic master and that may not be necessary nor the best choice in your situation. You say you use the master as a reporting tool and for creating links between subprojects. I have a suggestion. When you need to create cross-project links,
    go ahead and create a dynamic master, make the links and then save, but don't close, each the subproject file. That will preserve the links you just make. Now close the master and when it asks if you want to save changes to all files, answer "no to all". Finally
    delete the master, it is no longer needed to maintain those links and in fact, having a dynamic master creates another level in the linking structure and thus increases the chance of file corruption.
    When you need to do your reporting, create a static master. Simply uncheck the "link to project" option in the lower right corner of the Insert Project window. That will create a separate file that is a snapshot in time of all the subproject files. The advantage
    is that you have not created a linked structure and thus have not added to the corruption dice roll, as Rod Gill (MVP) likes to say. And yes, you will have to create a new static master each reporting period, but that is easily automated with a recorded macro,
    if doing it manually is a burden.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why do my Microsoft Word documents open as read-only

    I am having trouble saving my Word documents as they are opening in read-only mode. I cannot find a setting to change the way my Word documents are opening.

    Amy, are you reffering to the 'reading mode' in Word, which it uses when you open a Word document that was attached to a message?
    There are instructions on [http://myitforum.com/myitforumwp/2013/06/10/disable-reading-mode-and-protected-view-in-word-2013/ how to disable that] although it's not in the scope of Thunderbird.
    Hope this helps!

    Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only.
    However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is already open on or from any machine which is causing code edits to be lost.
    What we found from out testing:
    - The file can be saved from one user to the server and WILL NOT PROMPT on other machines until the saving machine has the Dreamweaver program closed completely
    - The file can be closed and  Dreamweaver minimised to the launch bar but it still will not register on other machines that it has been changed.
    - Also, until the  Dreamweaver program is closed on the machines, it will continue to open it's saved version of the file. 
    Example Scenario:
    - User 1 opens test.css (which is 2000 lines) and adds some code to the end of the file to bring it up to 2500 lines
    - Meanwhile User 2 opens test.css as well (opens as 2000 lines as User 1’s edits have not yet been saved) and adds in code to bring it to 2300 lines
    - User 1 saves his file and closes it - but  Dreamweaver is still open.
    - User 2 also saves his file and leaves  Dreamweaver  open.
    - The server will report the size and last edit of the file the same as User 2 as he was the last person to save it (and if you open from the Win7 Machine it will show as User 2’s 2300 line version)
    - If User 1 then open's the file again (from either the 'recent' in Dreamweaver OR clicking on the file directly in Finder...which version opens.... The version that User 1 saved! Not the true version on the server, but the version that User 1 edited and saved with 2500 lines in it.
    - Same for User 2, he will open 'his' version with 2300 lines in.
    Other information:
    - Files are opened directly from the server
    - Sometimes the users will save incrementally and re-open
    - Most of the time users will save incrementally and keep the files open
    - The users will never not save incrementally and just save when closing the file once finished
    - The users are usually working on the files all day
    - It is always the bottom lines of code that are lost. It could be a case of the two versions being mixed up and cutting off the newly added lines based on the line count (possibly).
    It is as if Dreamweaver is holding a cache of the version locally and then only properly looking back to the server when it has been completely closed. It is very difficult to see how the server is causing such an impact on these files, there are very few logs which are giving any indication to the root cause of the problems.
    Anyone know if this is a known issue?
    Is there a way that there can be a featured implemented on the server that doesn't allow another user to open a file if it is already open on another machine?
    Thanks

    Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

  • GPO settings - documents in sharepoint 2007 sometimes open in read-only mode - needs IE reset to fix

    Hi,
    We've got an intranet running on SharePoint 2007.
    We also enforce alot of group policies to our users.
    But there is a problem that keeps reoccuring:
    On random moments, when a user tries to edit a document on any random document library in SP 2007, it gets opened in read-only mode.
    The only temporary fix we found for this is resetting the IE settings in Internet Options -> 'tab' advanced -> Reset IE settings... and pressing Reset.
    We think it is some GPO setting that we have malconfigured or forgot to configure and we hope that someone could point us  in a direction to troubleshoot or even solve this.
    Thanks in advance for reading and providing help.

    I also suspect that there might be issue with IE plug-in so could you confirm that? you can also tell su what plug-in you see in IE.

  • Document will only open in read-only mode

    I created a .pdf document from a Word document in Adobe Acrobat Professional 10.1.1. When I open the .pdf it will only open in read-only mode.  I want to change the security settings to prevent editing before I send it out but the File>Properties>Security>>Security Method is greyed out and set to "No Security."  I have tried certifying and signing the document and even placing in a secure envelope with no luck.
    Help.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you Dave. 
    From MS Word, I am choosing Save as Adobe PDF.  In the Save window I reviewed the "Options..." and found PDF Options including
    Convert document information  (checked)
    Create PDF/A-1a:2005 compliant file  (not checked)
    Enable Accessibility and Reflow with tagged Adobe PDF (checked)
    Apply Security (not checked)
    Create Bookmarks (checked)
    Convert Comments (not checked)
    I checkmarked Apply Security and attempted to save the document, however, received the following error:
    PDFMaker cannot apply security when PDF/X or PDF/A compliant job option is selected.
    I do not have the Create PDF/A-1a:2005 compliant file box checked so I'm not sure why I'm getting that error.

  • Help with a fcpx library that is locked "could not be opened. Read-only file system"

    Hi all,
    I recently moved all my fcpx projects/events to a new Harddrive - I thought I did this correctly by copying/duplicating all projects/events from within FCPX.
    When I last used FCPX all the projects/events were there - no issues.  Also, when I look at package contents - everything is still there in terms of events and file sizes.  
    All the library files are on an external hard drive, on an encrypted disk image.  Now a week later I have tried to open FCPX and I get the following error
    "The document “MND_Z_FCPX” could not be opened. Read-only file system" and nothing will open.
    Have checked permissions - these all seem in order.  OSX is10.9.5 
    Any suggestions as to what might be the issue? 
    Thanks in advance.
    R

    the permissions themselves look ok - they have my two computer profiles as read/write.   I also note that on some occasions the library has opened in my other Computer profile, but not in the one that I want it to open.
    So I think you're right, there is something with permissions happening here.  I keep a work and personal computer profile.
    Don't know how it happened - but the volume is definitely Read Only - even though I've created a Read/Write permissions for it

  • OS X Server files open as read only on client machines.

    Recently, users became unable to save changes to any file on our server or add any file to any folder on our server. The server folders and files are all opening as read only on the client machines. Currently, the users are all assigned to a group, we'll call it "companyusers", this group is granted full read/write access. On the Get Info dialog box for each file on the server, the group "companyusers" is accurately displayed under sharing and permissions with Read & Write privileges, however under the Get Info dialog box for each client machine, the group "companyusers" is non-existent. Only a name titled "(unknown)" and "everyone" is showing up. Any ideas on why the "companyusers" group is not showing up on the sharing and permissions section for the client machines?

    I think I found the fix. Looks like it works in my quick test.
    I read this post here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8278602&#8278602
    Basically in Server Admin, I went to the 'File Sharing Tab' at the top of the window
    Clicked on 'Share points'
    High-lighted my Share Point
    Below in the window, clicked on Share Point
    Clicked on Protocol Options...
    Clicked on SMB
    Clicked on Assign as Follows - and I made everything Read & Write.

  • InDesign CS4 Files Open as Read-Only (Mac)

    Having a problem where InDesign CS4 files sometimes open as read-only versions. This happens when opened by double-clicking through Finder, force opening by dragging the file over the ID icon in the Dock, or when opened through ID (file > open). If it's relevant, the ID file contains links to InCopy files that have been made using the Assignments Panel. System is Mac OS X 10.6.2. Any help &/or insight is greatly appreciated!

    I got a similar kind of problem / error trying to migrate an InDesign Server CS4 solution to another server with InDesign Server CS5.
    Windows 2008 server.
    I'll describe it, just in case it might give any clues.
    Calling an InDesign server "open" script, trying to open an InDesign document, using a network path - although the file is on the same server - resulted in an error message:
    System.Exception: 3598: Error from InDesign. Cannot save the document. No destination file supplied.
    In the script there is a line, telling Indesign Server to call the save method, if the document is modified, which can be the case after opening a document from another environment, converting to CS5, and links that need relinking and other stuff that either InDesign takes care of, or that the script does.
    No lock file ( .idlk ) was created on the server, but until I restarted the InDesign server instance, the file was opened as read-only when I opened it on my own computer (from the same network path on the server). I could then not save it from my own computer (the "Save As" dialogue appeared when I selected "Save" in the File menu).
    After restarting the InDesign Service, the file was no longer locked (restarting the sevice automatically clears all open threads to the documents), and I could use and save the file without trouble, from my own computer.
    Changing from Local Service to Administrator for running the InDesign service on the server, made the document open. Setting full permissions to the "Local Service" account, on the network share in question, also works, and that's the way I left it.
    So my problem had to do with permissions on the network share. Since the service account was not allowed to do certain things, such as "modify" files... something went wrong.
    Probably no lock file could be written either, due to permissions... then the open document and locking was handled by the operating system only(?), keeping the document read-only, and reporting other messages than the expected ones. It somehow seems that the document was neither open nor closed on the server (since InDesign Server has no user interface, I can only report what my method calls "saw").
    Now - with the permissions of the service account changed - trying to open the document on my computer I get the correct message: "Cannot open the document [...]. You may not have permission or the document may be open already."
    (When it was opened in a faulty state - with insufficient permissions - on the server, I could still open it on my computer, but as read-only, due to the missing lock file.)

  • Trying to share Excel files across two Macs, opens as read only

    I'm trying to edit and save an excel file using my Mac Mini with the file located on my MacBook Pro. I've set the file sharing to read + write on the MacBook Pro and have created a file sharing user account. I access the Excel folder on the MacBook Pro from the Mini, sign in with a password. The file is an Excel for Mac 2011 that was created on the MacBook Pro. I can open the file on the Mini but it opens as Read Only.
    I don't understand why I can't edit and save the file back to the MacBook Pro. Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    No, don't create it.
    It is created by default in Macintosh HD/Users/Shared and has special privileges. In Finder from your "Go" menu > Go to Folder > and type in /Users and press "Go"

  • When I converted a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text.  How can I solve this problem?

    When I tried to convert a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text.  How do I solve this problem?  I don't know how to change it from Read Only.

    Dear Sara
    Thank you very much for sending the converted file.  Yes, I am able to edit it - that will be very useful to me and I appreciate your help.
    Referring to your previous message when you said you'd converted via Acrobat and not Acrobat.com, I'm converting via Acrobat.com because that's the only option that is shown (how do I convert via Acrobat? - perhaps that would be more successful).  I'm using the Export PDF website, and the OCR is enabled to "Recognize text in English UK".  However, I've just tried converting a different LPA pdf form, this time for Health & Welfare https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/245571/LPA114_He alth_welfare_LPA.pdf and again I have the same problem as before.  I've altered it from "Read only" and thought I'd then be able to enter text, but "Drawing Tools" is shown in the pane and I'm unable to enter anything onto the form - everything appears to be in images.  Also, the lettering on the heading of' page 1 has become jumbled, with the word "Public" overlaying the word "Guardian."  Any suggestions as to what it is I'm doing wrong would be welcome - I don't like to be beaten!
    Regards,
    Judith.

  • Access Database Opens in Read Only for Users

    I just moved an Access Database to a new server (from Server 2003 to Server 2012). From the server, using Office 2010, I can open the database without issue but, if a user try's to open the same database from either a shortcut or mapped with Office 2010,
    they get the message that the database is Read Only. Did I miss a step in moving the database to the new server? Thanks

    Hi,
    Did your user get the error message "You are trying to open a read-only database..."? If it was, please try the following method:
    On the desktop, double-click My Computer.

    Right-click the database name, and then click Properties.
    In the Properties dialog box, clear the Read-only check box under

    "READ ONLY WITH APPLY" in V$DATABASE.OPEN_MODE means Active Data Guard is enabled.
    Oracle code cannot check if you have the right license: it is up to you to know which license you have for your database environments.
