Help! Blank file after opening .psd from network drive

I'm a technician at a school district and in one of the classrooms we have Photoshop CS5.1 installed on a Windows 7 SP1 machine. Students have their own network drive folder for them to save files.
They are currently working with work paths and have multiple layers when they save their PS project. When they go to open it back up, they get a blank white layer that looks locked. We go to the paths part and it actually shows what they were working on. How do they get it to open up where the layers are still there? The layers checkbox was checked when they saved and it was saved as .psd file.
Any help would be appreciated. They have saved locally on the machine and I'm going to find out soon enough if it saved correctly for them.

It is discouraged by Adobe to open/save directly via a network. I don't know the fact that you're saving directly across the network is involved in what's gone wrong here, but can you have the students save their work to the local drive, then copy the file to the network drive?
Out of curiosity, are they using a mapped drive letter, or a UNC path?
There was a VERY similar thread to yours a few weeks ago... http://forums.adobe.com/message/3955688

Open document from network drive in an iView

Hello,
is there a possibility to open a document which is on a network drive in an iView?
Which steps must I do to get such an iView?
Please help me!
Regards
Philipp

If you configure KM repository of your network drive file system, you will be able to do so.
Otherwise try using the FILE protocol to launch that file, but I dont think URL iViews support that.
So what you could do is create a HTML document in KM and in a javascript tag, put a:
window.top.location.href="FILE://C://///....."
Hope this works out for you

Some files in "DOCUMENTS" icon in dock won't open. Get msg saying You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." Have Pages 4.1 installed. Same files will open ok from Finder, Pages App. Recently sync'd with ipad2 (Pages) after iOS5 installed.

Some files in "DOCUMENTS" icon in dock won't open. Get msg saying "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." Already have Pages 4.1 installed. Same files will open ok from Finder/Pages App./selected file. Prob not noted until recently after sync'd with ipad2 (Pages) when I installed iOS5. Anyone-- please?!

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Adobe files missing from network drive after editing...

Problem started around June 1st. PDF files are shared on the network drive. After I edit one of the forms and resave it, the networked computers can no longer see the file listed on the network drive. Only the hosting computer still sees them. Also, if I resave one of the files as a new name, it will reappear on the network. Any ideas? Adobe Reader 11.0.03

Yes, the problem is still continuing. However, after looking into as much of it as I can, I can confirm something that r.p.b_ started stumbling on. The files are deleted IF AND ONLY IF a user is using the built-in Windows 7 disc burning utility AND is dragging
and dropping the files to the drive from a network share; this doesn't happen locally. If you watch what happens in the native folder, the files are literally scrubbed from the drive as they are processed and added to the image. However, if you Right Click
on the files and copy them, then Right Click->Paste onto the drive, they remain. (The keyboard shortcuts also worked.) Also, 3rd party disc burning utilities function they way the should. (In other words, they don't delete the files.)
My speculation is that there's a bug in the coding that sees the network share as a temporary buffer file while the image is being prepared. Then, as the files are processed in what ever way is needed, the "temporary buffer" is being deleted. The result:
lost files on a network share. But, this is just speculation.

No place to Double Click visible on pdf file-after opening a password-protected pdf

No place to Double Click visible on pdf file-after opening a password-protected pdf

Thanks Pat for your interest.
Actually I am using Windows 8 (Not 8.1) and Adobe Reader Version XI (11.0.06)
Now, the exact problem I am facing is that there are certain types of pdf files I am being sent which are Password pritected (it may not be a necessary condition, i don;t know) and after I have keyed-in the correct password, it flashes the message- "Double-click here to open your file". Now while using the earlier versions of Adobe (or maybe Windows) I used to see a peculiar Pin-shaped object on the screen, double-clicking which used to open the file. That object is somehow missing this time, so I have no place to double-click. Therefore I am not able to open the file.I may add that I have recently moved to Windows 8 from XP, so my knowledge of Windows 8 is not up to mark. Can you please help?

Working with bootstrap css file after opening the browser

working with bootstrap css file after opening the browser when i came back on working on bootstrap my computer started hanging and opning new tabs and showing message " A caused the program to stop working correctly.Windows will close thoe program and notify you if solution is available"

Hi Geetha,
1.) button problem:
i don't know how you open the form - when you do it with a XML file maybe you packed the wrong XML file into your addon installer.
2.) the flickering can be a problem of formatted searches or interacting with other addons.
when addon a. changes a field it can be that addon b. does something because of the event from addon a.
the same can happen when you have formatted searches that do something when a field changes.
ok - that are my last tipps for this day
good night

OK. If you believe that.
When the disk is starting to die it can be bad for a moment and then be good for a while. If there was no problem while you were checking it of course it shows up good.
I tell you those are the signs of a disk that is about to die.

Windows explorer keeps computing items after accessing a mapped network drive

Our organization has decided to upgrade to windows 7 but we are running into a problem with windows explorer green progress bar hanging after accessing a mapped network drive. When you try to go back to computer or access the control panel after going
3 or more folders deep into the mapped drive, windows explorer just keeps searching.
When you expand the arrow in the address bar it states that it is computing items and never stops.
The only way around this is to right click on libraries and select reset back to defaults and everything is back to normal.
We are deploying this image of windows 7 to over a 1000 computers and we cannot have this problem lingering, does anyone have a solution to resolve this issue. This does not happen in Windows XP.
We have tried to turn off windows search and remote differential compression and this does work but the problem is that you lose all search capabilities in windows. So windows search needs to be enabled. We also tried to adjust the MTU, change GP settings,
and nothing seems to work except to turn windows search off or reset libraries back to default.
We also did some research online and there are so many people experiencing the same problem, with no resolution expect they have to go back to Windows XP. That is not an option for us.
Please help us we would really greatly appreciate it.

Hi,
The issue could be related to searching and indexing feature in Windows 7. I suggest rebuilding the indexing files.
Click Start -> Type
indexing options in the search box -> Advanced -> Index Settings tab-> Rebuild buttion.
For more information, you can refer to:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Change-advanced-indexing-options
If the issue persists, you can perform the following troubleshooting steps.
1. Go to update your network adapter drivers and BIOS from manufacture's site manually.
2. If any router is involved, please update the firmware.
3. Perform a System File Checker.

CS6 Bridge Running in Background after connecting to a networked drive?

I have been having a problem with Bridge running in the background after connecting to a networked drive on a server. I can open and use the program fine, but when I close it still is running in the background until closed via Task Manager. Once the process is removed I can once again open Bridge. I found that holding Ctrl and clicking the Bridge icon and resetting my preferences allows me to open and close bridge once again, until I connect to a networked drive. Anything local on the computer things work fine, but as soon as I head over to a server Bridge wants to continue running in the background. I am assuming it is having trouble closing its connection to the networked drive and stays open. I do have other computers on the network with CS5 and they do not have this issue.
Any ideas on how to correct this?
Computer is a Windows 7 64 bit platform.

They were using the little red "x", file > quit allowed her to reopen the program etc. I find it weird that it wont close with the "x" but if I right click the icon on the task bar, it wont allow me to reopen or do anything with it so I was under the assumption it was stuck open.

Quicktime 7.2 (and up) slow playout from network drive

Does anybody has a problem with all versions of Quicktime 7.2 (and up) where Quicktime Player doesn't play or open files very slowly from network drives? 7.1.6 works fine. This happens on all my machines.

Hey Germac,
For me these invisible files were not stored on the desktop as the files i was working with were on an external drive but i guess if the file you are converting is located there or if the desktop happens to be where the resulting file is saved, it's likely these invisible .QT temp files will be created on the desktop.
I've sent info of this to apples quicktime feedback so hopefully they'll look into it.
Here are some apps that will allow you to view invisible files without using the terminal, i've been using the InvibliX app as it seemed to be the most recent and/or up to date but there are plenty to choose from.

Can the Mail files be safe on a network drive?

Can the Mail files be safe on a network drive? That way more than one computer (same user) can access the mail?

Depends on what you mean by a "network drive".
I have "external USB drives", I don't have a network drive. I had no problems putting the .lrcat files on the external USB drives, and it would surprise me a lot
if there were a problem putting them on network drives. "In general", drives are drives, who cares.
On the other hand, why would you want to? I have all my photos on a USB drive, but I keep my catalogs (4 of them) on c:\ -- for performance reasons -- I see no reason to do otherwise. They get backed up and the BACKUPS are then copied to 2 of my 3 external USB drives -- I see no REAL reason to put the catalogs externally or on a network drive -- does not buy me anything other than bad performance.

Office files opened from network drive appear to be blank for Mac Users

Hi all,
We've got five macs in our office running 10.9 with Office 2011, and we have a file server running 10.8 which stores all of our documents.
More often than not, when one of the macs opens a DOC or DOCX from the file server, the file opens up blank.
There aren't invisible fonts, doing a Select All and changing to black doesn't help.
The files appear to be fine when opened in Finder, or with LibreOffice (which my colleagues don't want to use!)
The files open correctly when the files are moved to the local hard drive and opened from there.
The files also open fine via the network on a Windows 8.1 PC with Office 2007.
Has anyone else had this problem, and got a workaround? I've been looking at this for a while but not found anything as of yet.
Appreciate any assistance you can give. :)
Kind Regards,
Yolo Swaggins

Word and Excel hang "downloading" file from network drive - copy file to be able to open it

Word or Excel hang trying to open files on a network drive maybe after an untidy close.
Symptoms: pick the file from a pinned entry on recent list or even direct from File!Open... or by double clicking on the file from file explorer. Word/Excel show in the middle of the status line a comment "Downloading:filename "
a progress bar, that shows no progress, and a white cross on a red circle to close. Some minutes later may Excel/Word say could not open filename.
I have removed any temporary copies of the file prefixed with the ~. However there are no documents shown in any document recovery pane.
If I rename the original file the problem is still there.
I can only clear the problem by working on a copy of the file. It works with either a new name of if the copy is used to replace the original file.
It seems file explorer's "copy" is clearing something within the file that is causing this problem.
I have seen the same issue with both Excel and Word documents in native Office 2010 format.
Is there a better way to clear this issue?
Thanks

It doesn't hang/crash, does it?

Office 365 files won't open from network drive

I can’t open any office documents from a mapped network drive. I can however go to file explorer and go straight the server directory (\\servername\share) and open any document. As a workaround, I created a shortcut on the desktop that points
to the share to allow the user to continue working.
I have checked permission and added the path in Trust Center. I know it’s not the computer because I have logged in with other users and everything works fine. I have also logged into other computer with the user that is having the problem and again
everything works. I'm convinced it some setting I'm missing within the user profile on the computer.

The "File Edit View Window Help" menu disappears after opening Adobe Acrobat X Standard

After installing Adobe Acrobat X Standard, when I run the program the "File Edit View Window Help" menu is visible for only a brief second then disappears. I tried to press F11 or other functions keys to bring it back. I also installed Adobe Acrobat X Pro which I also have a license for and it would do the exact same thing. Reinstalling the programs did not seem to resolve the problem. Is there an issue inside the registry?

Thank you for your comment. However, F9 does not seem to work.
When I press F9, the menu bar appears but the words "File Edit View Window Help" are still missing.
When I press F9 again the menu bar will close.
This is a screen capture before the words "File Edit View Window Help" disappear. After only about a second they are gone.
