Getting error when trying to open .indd file on a Mac

I'm having a very frustrating problem with InDesign on my Mac.
When opening an InDesign file on a shared folder using SMB connection I more often than not get the following error:
"Cannot open the document "document_name.indd".
You may not have permission or the document may be open already. For multi-user access,
close the file and then lock it using the File > Get Info command in the Finder."
The setup is as follows:
Macbook Pro
Mac OS: OS X 10.9 Mavericks
InDesign: 2014.1 Release, 10.1.0.71 Build
Shared folder: Hosted on Windows 2012 file server
Connection to shared folder: SMB
I am the creator of these documents and have full control on the folder. Nobody else has these documents open.
Can somebody help me finding a solution to this problem?
Any help highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

  • Keep getting errors when trying to open JAR files

    Hi
    My son is trying to open a .jar on his Macbook to add a mod to Minecraft.  It throws an error and directs him to Console each time, but Console isn't showing any errors.  Using advice on a couple of similar threads I followed some steps but ended up at a dead end.
    The Terminal message I get when I follow the steps in another thread is this:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/eclipse/swt/widgets/Display

    Hi Eric.
    I am referring to the main  Console.  I don't see anything in Java Console - but the steps I followd in teh other thread yielded that error message from Terminal - it was different from the error in the other thread, which related to out of data Java install.  I have no clue what this is and Google isn't helping me much.
    Any light that can be thrown on on this woudl be great
    Thanks

  • Getting error when trying to open Job Manager

    Hi List
    we are getting the below error when trying to open the Job Manager,which worked fine until yesterday.
    [nqs error 46105] Error executing Process: "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin\javaw.exe" - Xmx1024m -cp D:\OracleBI\server\Bin\JobManager\startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main -data D:\OracleBIData\jobmanager -configuration C:\OracleBIData\jobmanager The system cannot find the path specified
    Please advice.
    Thanks..

    Did you change your JDK path by any chance? Also you are getting a strange error message. It is trying to point to both D:\OracleBIData\jobmanager and C:\OracleBIData\jobmanager. Is there anything that you changed prior to doing this?
    Thanks,

  • Server Error when trying to open .acsm file

    Hello,
    I installed Digital Editions v2.0 on a Windows 7 (64bit) computer. I allowed this program to go through firewall.
    I have authorized my computer using my AdobeID.
    When trying to open the .acsm file to get an epub book which I just bought I get the following error:
    "Error Getting License. License Server Communication Problem: E_ADEPT_NO_TOKEN".
    Could you please help?
    Thank you.

    Hi, I am having the same problem when trying to convert my books from Google Play to epub format on the computer to move to my Nook tablet.Were you able to get any resolution from the content provider? When you say that you erased everything before and after the fulfillmenttoken area, could you be more specific (i.e.did you remove all of the previous content or only the content located in that specific tag?) My html and xml coding is a little rusty so any information you could provide would be extremley helpful. Thank you so much!

  • Error when trying to open InDesign file

    InDesign might have crashed when my document was open, I'm not sure. Now when I'm trying to open the file I get the message "Cannot open (name of file)". I tried opening it on a different computer, I tried changing the file name and nothing worked.
    I tried taking a previous copy from my time machine, and it was the same. I've worked hours on this file, please tell me there's a way to restore it. Thanks so much.

    Do you have any other "weirdly-named" InD files in that folder? If so, try deleting them. InD may be trying to open that "weird" temp file repeatedly and if it's corrupt, hence the message.
    Just a thought as that's happened to me several times and I have to find those temp files and delete them in order to open the original for editing again.

  • Cannot open \\psf\home\some_file error message when trying to open some file located on Mac hard drive

    I have trio of 27 inch iMacs in my office and we all use Parallels 8 to develop content in Framemaker.  We have two 3 tb LaCie D2 Network 2 NAS' drives that we need to move our content to  one and do backups to the other.  The backups from the iMacs are working just fine (everything is MacOS, of course it works).  The error in the title is what I am getting after trying to access the NAS from windows  running in Parallels 8.
    Why do I want  to do this?  Our main network server is 500 miles away and so is the DNS server, so when that connectivity is lost  I can't access my work locally (even though I can see file server (a Mac pro running Ubuntu or some such OS (honest, I didn't do it!!)).
    Why?? I just want to have a a little control over my data and some resonable expectation that someone is planning for emergencies by having a robust strategy to file protection (I don't  right now, and I can't risk my hard earned work).
    All my workstations connect to a gigabit switch  as do the LaCies.
    Both LaCies are initialized as HFS+.
    I  know I'm missing something,  I whish I knew what it is ( then the solution is easy!!)
    Ideas?

    I think it's the content of the include that is causing your
    troubles. Somehow you created a menu using Fireworks(?) or
    Dreamweaver(?) and Contribute indicates javascripterrors, not php
    errors...
    Maybe its better, in this case, constructing a menu that
    contains only an unordered list (check out project7 menus, or stu
    nichols css site for more examples). Updating the menu will be
    simpeler and also with less chance of errors by users. You can open
    such a file without any troubles in Contribute.

  • Bizarre error when trying to open .fla files in Windows Explorer

    "Windows cannot find '(path of the .fla file INCLUDING the filename)'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search." error message given when I click on any .fla file in Windows Explorer to open it in Flash 8 Pro (as I've ALWAYS done before). Flash opens but no file is opened in it. If I click the fla file a second time THEN it opens in Flash (which is already opened from the first attempt.). This never happened before. I have 2 more laptops that work fine (as did THIS Win XP-SP3 pc until about a week ago), ALL with Flash 8 Pro (1 laptop w/XP-SP3 - just like the main PC with the new 'problem'), 1 laptop w/Vista Ultimate SP2. Even compared registry entries from XP laptop side-by-side - no differences at all. Everything is literally 'word-for-word'. Also compared FileMap.xml - no differences. Reinstalled Flash (no success) then out of frustration reinstalled XP with full disk format (and then everything else all over again - took 3 days) - still no success. Files open from the Flash 'File\Open' menu no problem - just not from Windows Explorer anymore. Nothing is different than before (when everything was ok - same installed programs, apps, updates, exact same 'set-up' as far as Windows drivers, system settings, prefs etc goes. VERY bizarre!

    As you know Flash 8 was a Macromedia product. They don't exist anymore - being absorbed by the all powerful, all seeing, all knowing Adobe Systems (sort of reminds me of the BORG on Star Trek - you know 'Resistance is futile').
    I tried literally everything - to no avail. Since I did try everything - up to and including a complete HDD full format and OS reinstall (which only accomplished deleting several days of my life that I'll never get back) I have come to the conclusion that it must be something inherent in the program that only affects installations performed after 12/31/12.
    My 2 laptops have no issues because the program has been on them for years and has never been reinstalled, but I would be willing to bet if I had to reinstall it on them I would start getting the same problem (since it's now past 12/31/12).
    On 12/31/12 Adobe did something in a way 'similar' to CS2 owners by rendering the activation of CS2 products inoperative. I found this out the hard way after I had just reinstalled everything while trying to deal with this issue. I had to spend hours on the phone to finally get the news from 'Dave' in Indonesia that Adobe decided to just arbitrarily render their CS2 customers paid-for software obsolete and inoperative! (Out of fairness they DID provide 'replacement' apps that don't require activation - thus avoiding MEGA lawsuits).
    Anyway - I'm just saying that software makers can build anything into their product, including date specific limitations without the consumer ever being aware of it.
    With the exception of this issue it otherwise works fine, and I guess I'll just have to deal with it from now on by dbl-clicking on Fla files TWICE instead of once - otherwise affectionately known as 'quadruple-clicking', (but if you count closing the error window then it's 'quintuple-clicking').
    I don't mind being proven wrong - so if somebody out there knows what is going on here (besides my theory of software developers time limitations resulting in complete world domination) feel free to reply. I'll get an email telling me someone replied and I'll come to this post and have a look.
    (suggestions to reinstall will be ignored - been there, done that)

  • I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read"

    I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read". I am able to open pdf files in IE and other programs.

    I am encountering the same problem -- though with .qfx files from my bank. This worked fine in Firefox 31 ESR, but since upgrading to Firefox 33.0, I get the "<name>.qfx.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read" when I attempt to download. (I should add that downloading PDF statements from the same site works fine, and that the qfx downloads work fine in IE and Chrome.)
    I tried safe mode, it is still broken. Tried v34 beta, no luck. I reverted to version 31, it works again.
    I guess I will stick with the older version until a solution is found...or just use an alternate browser to download my financial data.

  • Keep getting error code 2048 when trying to open wmv files, says realplayer cannot open with the installed version of Quicktime, any suggestions?

    Keep getting error code 2048 when trying to open wmv files, says realplayer cannot open with the installed version of Quicktime, any suggestions?

    wmv is a Windows Media format.  I don't know why Realplayer is coming into it since that deals primarily with Real format files and maybe a few generic formats.
    You need
    Free Flip4mac QuickTime player components - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx
    After installation a new Flip4Mac pane will appear in System Preferences.  Make sure you set the boxes to ensure that it will play WMV files in Quicktime.
    or play the files with VLC
    VLC media player - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ - general media player that plays just about anything.
    While you're at it you might install:
    Perian codecs for Quicktime - http://www.perian.org - plugins to add functionality to Quicktime for playing additional audio and video formats
    Quicktime audio problems, Perian, VLC - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9013669 - read note about uninstalling prior DIVX support before installing Perian.
    Perian doen't do WMV but it's handy to get many things to play in Quicktime.
    Note, if these are protected WMV, nothing on a Mac will play those (unless you also have Windows installed).
