CS5 ISSUE - STORIES NOT LOCKING ALL THE TIME IN INCOPY

I have an issue where sometimes we will have one user open a story and it will NOT show it as being locked (pencil with line through it).  The majority of the time it will, but seems to happen too often and I see it being a problem this coming weekend as they start the switch from Quark to CS5.  I just can't have users being able to check out the same story as one person will overwrite the other.  We work off a file server with ExtremeZip installed.  Has anyone else seen this?  Sometimes if the document is available to be refreshed, like on a different story, it will then put a lock on the file.   I am not doing anything cross platform, this testing is done on 2 macbook pro's with both IC and ID CS5 installed.  Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks, Bob

We have also had this problem. We started the Indesign/Incopy workflow in CS2 and did not see this happen until CS4. It's continuing in CS5. Apparently there is a delay in the lock file being created. If someone else checks the story out before that locked file is created, it appears both parties have the story checked out. However, only one of them actually has command of the file and only their edits will be saved. We reported this to Adobe last year when we began seeing it in CS4, and they were able to replicate the problem; however, they've not fixed it.
We haven't tried the "refresh" workaround. I'll give that a try. I've also wondered if checking out multiple stories at once causes the problem. Some of our editors have the habit of checking out all the stories in a layout at one time. Obviously, it takes a little time for the locked files to be created on as many as 100 stories. If someone else tries to check out one of those stories in the meanwhile, Incopy lets them. At that point, we have a problem.

  • My optical drive on my macbook pro mid 2009 series is not working all the time.

This is something that just started to happen and its very fustrating since i have limited support for this.

  • My Macbook Pro *****! I have had it for 2 weeks now, got it brand new at the apple store, it freezes all the time, and reboots itself, sometimes when i start it, purple dots cover the screen and i have to hold the power button.

    I have had it for 2 weeks now, got it brand new at the apple store, it freezes all the time, and reboots itself, sometimes when i start it, purple dots cover the screen and i have to hold the power button. a 2 week old computer is not supposed to do this! it wastes all its time being so flashy that it just craps out all the time. sometimes i feel like i should have stayed with my virus covered PC. at least when it shut down randomly you could turn it back on, but with the macbook pro, it just keeps restarting itself over and over. need help with this, any answers?

    Here's a novel thought. Take it back to the vendor. Should have done that one week ago.

  • Has anybody experienced the iPhone off switch not working all the time.

    I have an iPhone 5, it's about 16 months old and it has experienced an annoying issue.  The off button does not work all the time, sometimes I have to press it multiple times and other times it just works.  The worst case is when it does not work at all, very frustrating.  I didn't expect this type of issue for a phone that is not even a year and a half old.
    I did some searching on the internet and there are 2 schools of thought, the first is that this is a hardware fault and Apple know about it but won't admit it because it would cost them too much to repair/replace phones with the issue.  The second school of thought is that it is a software issue and a backup/reset/restore will fix it; I tried doing this but it did not resolve the issue.
    Further digging seemed to suggest that it was really a hardware fault and the only option was to get a refurb from Apple for a ton of money, not cool.
    Anyway, if anyone has any more information that could help me resolve this issue I would greatly appreciate it.

    @diesel vdub, thanks for your suggestion, I setup an appointment with the Genius Bar and found out in about 5 minutes that everything I have read up on so far is true.
    Firstly the technician admitted that there is a sporadic fault on the iPhone 4s and iPhone 5 switches, something to do with the design of the switch that included a rubber element that rolls up (whatever that means) and causes the switch to fail. He then indicated that the iPhone 5s does not have the issue because the switch has been completely redesigned.
    Since I was stupid enough to not take out the extended warranty the only options he gave me were to purchase a new phone or to get a refurb for $269, not cool. Why would anyone think that a phone would not work correctly for 2 whole years when the phone only cost about $600!
    Since I have about 7-8 months left on my phone contract I am not prepared to pay for either option.  I find it amazing that a phone can develop this type of issue in such a short time and then expect the customer to pay for their failures.  Apple supposedly sells a very high quality product for a very high price, looks like they have taken a step back from this philosophy.
    I am disappointed in the options that he gave me (I don't blame the technician) but I suppose I expected more from Apple in terms of quality and service.

  • I recently upgraded to ML and now I find that CS5.5 programs crash unexpectedly all the time. Help

    I recently upgraded to ML and now I find that CS5.5 programs crash unexpectedly all the time. Is anyone else having this issue and what's the best way to resolve this. Help.

    You might check and see if there are any Console entries about what happened when you attempted to launch a CS 5.5 app.
    Adobe links its apps with the particular volume on which it is running, and altho' I can't recall specifics, I know in the past I have had to reset Adobe's settings after OS upgrade. I do recall that it's a fairly easy procedure; just don't exactly recall what it is.
    BTW, CS 4 runs on Mountain Lion for me.

  • Home button is not working all the time

    I have started to notice that when I press the home button on my iPhone 4 it does not work all the time. This problems has only started to occur and was first noticed around three months back, however I did not make a big fuss out of this because it was not as often as it is now.
    Sometimes i find this extremely frustrating as it occurs even when the phone is locked and you are trying to bring up the unlock menu (which I know this can be done by using the wake up/ lock botton located on the top of the phone)
    but this also is a pain when it happens, whilst using an app e.g. playing a game and trying to text someone.  Because of the faulty this also makes multi tasking sometimes impossible.

    Try calibrating the Home button.
    1. Open a pre-installed app, such as Contacts
    2. Press and hold the sleep/wake button until the red slider appears
    3. Immediately release the sleep/wake button; press and hold the Home button.
    4. Hold until the red slider disappears.

  • PIAFUSER and PIAPPLUSER get locked all the time - where are they used?!

    Hi guys,
    well i am no basis guy but i have to do the following.
    We want to use one SLD for PROD & DEV. We chose DEV SLD to be the one!
    Therefore i followed Note 720717 in detailed way.
    Because there is mentioned i have to change sth. in Service SLD Data Supplier i did so in PROD for giving the SLD-Adress of DEV. This was looking good, i changed, saved and restarted service.
    But now the User PIAFUSER and PIAPPLUSER get locked all the time - even without trying to get SLD-Connection.
    When i do SLDCHECK we also get error:
    Calling function LCR_LIST_BUSINESS_SYSTEMS
    Retrieving data from the SLD server.
    Function call returned exception code ....4
    => Check whether the SLD is running!
    ..and it is running!
    Could someone help?! We already read post and blogs the last 4 hours but nothing helped that far!

    And we get some errors from CC also - e.g. when we want to get a file read:
    com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.ConfigException: Some of the IS access information is not available. SLDAcess property may be set to true, but SLD is not available.

    Hi,
    well i already re-checked all pwds again like given in Note 936093.
    Everything runs fine that far but again, the PIAFUSER gets locked, PIAPPLUSER doesn't get locked anymore - finally.
    The reason why i was coming to this error is because we need to use one SLD - i described already.
    So now we wanted to check our PROD Scenarios, running a test with a FILE-CC and got following error in CC-Monitoring:
    ERROR:com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.ConfigException: SLDAccess set to true, but not available.
    What could cause this error else than some stuff with pwds?!
    Any ideas?! i work 10 hours on this crap now

  • I sometimes have blue and red square-shaped dots appear on my MBP; especially but not exclusively when I'm watching videos.  The dots don't stay in the same place; and also they are not there all the time.

    I sometimes have blue and red square-shaped dots appear on my MBP; especially but not exclusively when I'm watching videos.  The dots don't stay in the same place; and also they are not there all the time.  Also, sometimes my animations (applications opening, windows being dragged, etc.) will glitch as well.  Again, this is not a continual thing; it just happens variously throughout my day.  MBP Model A1212, OS X 10.6.8, 2.33 Ghz 3GB RAM.

    Did the original songs that do not appear on the car player play in the Music app on the iPod? Sometimes glitches happen and they do not. Also, If y ohave a 5G iPod/iOS 7, purchase songs  will show with an cloud icon by them if they are not downloaded if Shall All is turned on in Settings>iTunes and App Store

    Because GPS has nothing to do with WiFi, cellular signals, or data of any sort. GPS is implemented by signals sent by satellites that are received by GPS receivers. The receivers process the information from the GPS satellites and calculate your location. GPS never sends data anywhere; GPS functionality is receive only.
    If you have WiFi or cellular data turned on this can improve the accuracy of GPS, because the GPS receiver can then use the known location of cell towers and WiFi networks to refine the GPS location. GPS by itself has an accuracy of 10 meters, or about 34 feet. Using the additional information from WiFi and cellular data this can be brought down to 3 meters (10 feet). This mode is called Augmented GPS, or A-GPS.
