CS6 files can be opened by multiple users

Our Indesign CS6 files are not auto locking anymore. They used to. Now.. either you can not see the
lock when someone has a file open... or it lets you open a file someone else is edition. Causing
major productions issues. Only change we made was moving files to a different NAS server.
Any ideas?

Similar post the other day... I believe changing the network protocol to SMB fixed it. Be sure you have the 8.0.2 patch for ID installed as well.

Can InDesign indicate who has a file open among multiple users?

Hi,
Does anyone know if InDesign can indicate who has a file open among multiple users?
Thank you

No. All you'll know is that it's open.

Server allows overwriting files that are open by other users.

We're having a problem with Snow Leopard Server not warning a user when they attempt to overwrite a file that is open by another user.
Running Snow Leopard Server 10.6.8 on an Xserve with an Xserve RAID. Have about 25-30 Mac clients, running 10.6.8 or 10.7.3. Users running Adobe CS5.5
Here's the scenario:
User edits a file in InDesign, then saves a PDF of that file to the server. The user's supervisor reviews the file, and perhaps adds comments to it, but not necessarily.
The user edits the ID file again, and saves a new PDF over the old one. When we were running Server 10.4.x, the user would have been warned that the PDF file was open by another user, and would have been prevented from saving. Under SL Server, no warning takes place, and the file is overwritten.
At this point, a couple of things can happen.
1: The new file is written, and the changes can be seen by the user. The supervisor's computer does not see the new version of the file. Quicklook and opening the file into Acrobat 10 will still show the old file. Disconnecting and reconnecting fixes this.
2: The new file is written, but it is corrupted, and not openable by either party. If neither one opens the file right away, this could go unnoticed.
I've tested this scenario between two Lion machines, and the "file-open" warning occurs like it should.
Is there a setting in SL Server that I need to look at, or is this a bug?
Our short-term fix is to have the user always save to a new filename. This can work, but it's cumbersome.

This file is already open by another user or another application-

I am using InDesign CS4 on Mac OS 10.6.4, and sporadically get an error message reading "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 happens when I try to open a saved .indd file. The files are all on my hard drive, I created them, and nobody else has access to them.
So far I've lost a handful of files' worth of work, as I cannot open the file in InDesign as an original or a copy, nor can I copy the file in the Finder (I get "unknown error: -22"), nor can I copy or move it using Terminal, nor can I zip it up. Time Machine doesn't recognize the file, and Apple Support couldn't help.
I tried calling Adobe Support, but after telling me it was $40 for the answer the phone tech sent me back to the website instead of letting me pay!
How do I fix this? I am losing hours of client work every time this happens, and only if I have a pdf version of the file can I recreate the work.
Many thanks in advance.

The last time it happened I restarted, cleared both the PRAM and NVRAM, and ran both Disk Utility and Disk Warrior. Nothing fixed it. I changed the permissions a number of times and that did not fix it.
It's important to note that it doesn't happen to every file I save from InDesign; if it did I would have re-installed CS3 and dealt with that, because this issue never happened before I upgraded. So there's also no way to know if a possible fix is working or not.
Also, there were no placed images or other artwork in the file this happened to most recently.
I've checked my FontCase prefs, and if it's not running it's disabled, so that's out. I have some fonts that had been converted from Windows PostScript to TrueType, so I've disabled those.
As I mentioned in the original post, I am not on a network beyond my home network, which consists of two computers and two routers. The file is on my computer's hard drive, and I am the only person accessing it. While I do use Dropbox, this file is not in that directory.

I am trying to install software for iTwin Connect, but after downloading the dmg file and launching the program, I receive a message saying the file can't open and to check my internet connection. Any ideas?

Many Thanks, Kurt.
I knew I'd seen the solution you've provided somewhere - either in MacWorld or MacFormat - but couldn't remember the Gatekeeper bit!
I shall save it somewhere VERY safe now in case this happens again …
You have made an old man very happy and saved me from worrying that senile decay had suddenly set in. (I was 70 last week so you might understand the situation from that.)

Can you set up multiple user accounts on one laptop?

can you set up multiple user accounts on one laptop?

Of course.
And instructions can depend on which OS X is installed.
For v10.7 Lion > OS X Lion: Create a new user account
For v10.8 Mountain Lion > OS X Mountain Lion: Create a new user account
When you post for help, please state which OS X is installed.

Error maximum number of files already open error.No Other files can be opened or printed until some are closed

Hi everyone,
While opening a file in Adobe reader 10 in Windows 7,I am getting the error as
"The maximum number of files are already open.No Other files can be opened or printed until some are closed."
Can Anyone help or suggest a setting for this ?
Thanks in Advance
Omkar

Hello omkar841987,
Could you please let me know how many files have you opened simultaneously.
This count will include files that are being displayed as well as opened (without being shown in the viewer).
Using Reader, you cannot make any setting for the same, but close some of the files before crossing that limit.
It also depends on your OS and memory size as you would need enough memory to open many files at a time.

I can't open PDF files, can't open, update, or download Adobe Reader ( I had it until recently) and don't have an "edit options"

I can't open PDF files, can't open, update, or download Adobe Reader. (I had it until recently.) None of the "helps" seem to help. I can't even open Adobe Reader now.

Ignore the instructions about "edit options", to install Adobe Reader download the installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/ and run the installer. Alternatively, a direct link for the latest version of Adobe Reader is:

The following article should help you set it up - [[opening PDF files within Firefox]].

Public variables can be shared by multiple users?

I have public static variables in some of my classes...think that there are 2 pages...
page1:sets that public variable..
page2:reads that public variable...
so the 2. person can read 1. person's variable by directly calling the second page or he gets null,error etc:?
its important for the security!generally are the values are session protected?or user must handle this security by coding correctly...
thank you

Actually, neither your question nor your English are
particularly clear.
However, if you're asking what I think you're asking,
then, yes, the variable can be seen by multiple
"users." I put that in quotes because there really
isn't a concept of "users" or "people" here unless
you build in such a layer. It's really requests that
we're talking about.
Servlets should not usually have member variables.
The reason is that usually only one instance of your
Servlet implementation exists, and it processes all
requests for that servlet. This is more a data
validity issue than a security one. Security comes in
at the layer where you build it (or use a 3rd party
library), but a side effect of this can be compromisd
security. The access levels--public, private, etc.
are NOT intended for security purposes, however.
Now, if that servlet's doGet(), doPost(), service(),
or whater methods create instances of some
other class, then, no, other requests cannot
see those objects, as long as the references to them
stay local to the servlet's methods, and don't get
put into the servlets member variables or an
application context.thank you this is what i exactly wanted to learn...i have also tested it with my test codes and same things seen parallel to your explanations...

Content generation error. Please confirm the file can be opened in InDesign?

I have been trying to upload a couple of files to a folio that was built yesterday, everytime I try to upload one of them I recieve the error message "Content generation error.Failed to open the InDesign file. Please confirm the file can be opened in InDesign." I have no idea why this is happening as one of the files was successfully uploaded to the folio yesterday and I have not made any changes to it since. I have a also restarted and trashed InDesign preferences so there are no problems there. If anyone has any answers or has experienced any similar problems could you please let me know.
Thanks
Adam Flanagan

That was the first thing I tried because obviously I wanted to find out if it was a problem with my file or a general issue with all uploads to that folio. It seems to be working ok now, although I still have no idea what the problem was and I have never seen that error message before :s
Thanks for your response.

Photoshop CS6 windows can't open a .hdr file

I can't open .hdr files with Photoshop CS6 Version 13 x64 for windows 7.
I just updated and installed the optional plugins just in case that would help but I still get the same error code: "Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file."
I read online elsewhere that this error code means the files are corrupted with other file types, but I wasn't sure with these as I've never used .hdr before.
Sorry if this is a repeat discussion, I saw most other discussions were errors about trying to make one - I'm just trying to open one.

Here's a properties screen shot if it helps narrow down the possibilities?
I haven't ever used .hdr's before so I had to look up what Radiance is [I know I'm a terrible artist] and the wiki stated it's a file type often used on simulators, and that's what I'm working on is simulator environment textures so I think there's a possibility they are a Radiance file ... maybe. Obviously I didn't generate them, but I'm trying to update them. The only thing that seems really odd to me is how incredibly small the files are, it was my understanding these were supposed to be highly detailed images based on photography.
I guess my main goal is to determine there's nothing wrong with this version of photoshop, and instead there's something wrong with the files. I know they work in the simulator as they're currently in use there, it's only in editing them that there is an issue.
Thanks so much for your help on this!
