IDCS2: Can only open an .indd Ready Only from smb share on Windows Server

Is there any way to save an open .indd document back to a smb share on a Windows server? I know the preferred Abobe method is to drag the file from the server to the desktop, edit it there, then close InDesign and drag the file back to the server. I first encountered this problem when I moved the shared publishing folder from an NT 4 server to 2003 Server which didn't support afp shares. As long as I kept my OS X Macs from updating past 10.4.0, I could still save back to the Samba share on the Windows sever.
Recently, I moved everything again to a Windows 2008 Active Directory domain server. After fixed the whole "digitally sign communications' security settings problem so my Macs could actually connect, I found I could no longer automount server volume by dragging the into Logon Items.
Letting my G5 Macs update to OS 10.4.11 fixed that, but now I can't save back to the server from inside InDesign again. I'm dealing with students (and instructors) and presenting them with a convoluted procedure for opening and saving files and saying blame it on Apple/Microsoft/Adobe doesn't fly too well. It's been about three years, please tell me there is a fix or a better workaround.

-36 is a bit generic, but usually means the Windows® machine is denying because of bad Password. Have you tried deleting that particular reference/share in Keychain Access and redoing it?

  • Can't connect to SMB share on Windows server from only ONE mac

    I have over 20 macs on my network. All are running the same version of the OS. (10.4.9) Almost all of the macs can connect, using SMB, to our Windows 2000 file servers...but only ONE of them can not. When I try from that mac, I get the following error:
    "The finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "smb://myservername" could not be read or written. (Error code -36)"
    This same mac that has this issue can connect to any of our other Win2K file servers and all my other macs can connect to the server that this mac can't...which is very confusing for me because that tells me that the mac is fine and the Win2K server is fine as well...
    Any ideas?

  • Can't open Office 2011 files on CIFS/SMB shares.

    I can't open Excel or Word documents if they are opened from a network CIFS/SMB share.  Excel returns something like "could not open because some content is unreadable" and offers to repair the document.  Word just questions if the document is corrupt and errors out too.  If I drag the same document to my desktop, it opens just fine.  Is something broken with SMB?  I'm running the latest Yosemite (10.10) upgraded from Mavericks 10.9.5.  Office 2011 is completely updated too.

    I am having what I think is a intimately related problem, but which is somewhat more aggravated. I have a server set up using FreeNAS 9.3, which is configured as Windows+CIFS (SMB) in order to facilitate for Windows-based computers to join. Permissions are consequently set-up with a Windows client (a MBP running Win7 in Bootcamp). Everything works fine as far as access and file transfer goes, but using any application changes the experience.
    Just to be explicit, my problem is not only related to MS Office files, but also to PDFs and PNGs (I assume it is related to ALL files, but those are the ones I have tested). The problem arises, as for you other, when I try to save from within the application after I have altered the file's content. I get different messages depending on the application, but they all share the problem of not being able to save and that they after showing that error message, change the filename on the server (in the case of Word, it becomes 'Word work file L_2.tmp').
    I have tried connecting to the server using Win7 and changing the same file and that works just as intended. I have also tried setting up a dataset (folder) on the server with only AFP and Mac settings and that works fine, but as Apple shifted to SMB from Mavericks it is not that enticing to set up a server with a dying technology, which is why I insist on getting the Windows/SMB share to work.
    I have also tried the tips provided in this thread:
    http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1253789
    1. smb://FreeNAS
    2. cifs://FreeNAS (should force SMB1)
    3. smb://FreeNAS:139 (should force connection over Netbios instead of TCP/IP)
    None works.
    I have checked the log files /var/log/samba4/log.smbd and /var/log/messages on the server, but they do not provide any error messages in this respect.
    Based on declure's suggestion, I have copied a new Word file to the server -> disconnected from the server -> reconnected using 'cifs://servername' -> opened the Word file and tried to save it -> same error message ("Word cannot save this document due to a naming or permissions error on the destination volume."). As this works in Win7 it seems as the real problem resides not with the application (or is Office for mac faulty?), but with OSX.
    Any constructive suggestions would be appreciated as I really would want this to work using SMB.

  • Since upgrading to Mac OS 10.6.8 I can't connect to a smb share on Windows Server 2003r2

    Hi recently i upgraded from Mac OS 10.5.8 to Mac OS 10.6.8 on a 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro 1,1.
    Prior to upgrading to 10.6.8 i had a viable connection to a Windows Server 2003r2 which hosts Pre-press client and all out work files as well as client applications. Now I can not connect to the server. I can ping the server. I can connect to another SMB share on different Windows Server 2003r2 that is our secondary server, but i can not connect to the primary. The Client software is associated with data base tracking the data.
    This share does not show up in my volumes but I have a Max Host File with the share defined.
    Can anyone come up with a solution to this. I have contacted my support for the Server 2003r2 Client software but they don't have a solution beyond clean installing the computer.

  • I want to take the photos off my iPhone and put them directly onto an external hard disk. I want to bypass iPhoto altogether. When I link my iPhone to my computer, it only opens in iTunes, which only gives me the option to save my photos to iPhoto. Help!

    I want to take the photos off my iPhone and put them directly onto an external hard disk - I don't have any room left on my computer. I want to bypass iPhoto altogether. When I link my iPhone to my computer, it only opens in iTunes, which only gives me the option to save my photos to iPhoto. Help!  This is seriously frustrating!.
    Additionally, I'd like to be able to take the 2000+ photos out of iPhoto and put them on a disk in a folder. I have managed to export them to the hard disk but it's just plonked all 2000+ photos in a list - not ideal if I want to use it for anything else. And then I have to manually delete the photos from iPhoto. Is there not a quick and easy way of dealing with this? 
    Anyone got any bright ideas? Thanks for your help!

    I too would like to be able to do this. Just put them where i want the. IFTT a scripting app will put the images in dropbox for you , but its been pretty iffy.

    Have you tried <b>window.location()</b> in place of window.open() something like
    <b>window.location = 'URL'</b>

  • Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from internet that was fine with Leopard. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

    Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from the internet that was fine with Leopard before. I just got a black screen when I clicked on a pdf icon on a given internet site, and same happened with several sites that I visited. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

    Try two things with Safari not running:
    1) Launch Adobe Reader, open its preferences, select the Internet category, and check the values under "Display PDF in browser using".  If it's checked, try unchecking it.
    2) Look in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins (at the top-level of your boot volume) for something names AdobePDFViewer.plugin.  If you see such a file, try moving it to a folder named "Disabled Plug-Ins" (if such a folder exists) or onto the Desktop.
    Then see how things work.

    You have to be more descriptive. Partition what?
    File sharing can be accomplished many ways,.

    It is as simple as copying/saving from one computer/drive to another computer/drive.

  • Can MoveUser move a user's mailbox from an installation of Mail Server 2.X to Messaging Server 3.X?

    Can MoveUser move a user's mailbox from an installation of Mail
    Server 2.X to Messaging Server 3.X?
    <P>
    Yes.
    The 2.x server allows the postmaster to login to a user's account.
    Try running MoveUser as follows:
    MoveUser -u uid -s host -xPostmaster:uid -p password
    -d desthost -a proxyuser -v proxypassword -m mailboxpath
    Notes:
    Mail Server 2.x uses a local database and not an LDAP server
    for account information. The -l option
    specify ldap URL and the associated bindDN password,
    therefore, are not valid when moving from
    Mail Server 2.x to Messaging Server 3.x.
    "Postmaster:" is case sensitive.
    The -a and -v options are for Messaging Server 3.x
    ProxyAuthUser credentials.
    We do NOT allow this login to a 3.x server
    (use PROXYAUTH instead).

    Additionally
    When I type in fasn26p (machine name) the Oracle Application Server Welcome page displays.
    I can get to the Enterprise Manager via the link on the page.
    On the All Programs menu, under Oracle - OraDb10g_home1 I can access the Datbase Control page and login. The line for Database Instance: Orcl is -
    http://fasn26p:1158/em/consol/database/instance/sitemap?event=doloa&....
    One last thought. I installed this with this on my network at home and I now have it disconnected from the network. So no IP address for the adapter and I wonder if that can cause a problem with Apache?
