Illustrator CS3 opening the same file twice

Hoping someone has an answer for this because I'm stumped.
Just set up CS3 on a new iMac for one of my users, imported her Illustrator files from her hold PC (also running cs3).
When she opens a file its opening the same file twice. When she modifies one, its all being mirrored on the other. When she saves, she has to save both "files" although they're really only 1 file.
Any ideas?

You can open multiple windows looking at the same file. It comes in handy when you're zoomed in, working on some detail and want to see the big picture...
Open a new one by going to the window menu and selecting "new window" This will open a new window with "filename:2" in the title bar.
To get rid of additional windows, just close them. You'll have to save the file to get it to remember that the other windows are closed.

    try routine software maintenance:
    1 - shut down the Mac
    start up the Mac again with the shift key pressed, release when Mac logo appears, let the Mac boot up it will take longer as it will be repairing the software

  • Using Illustrator CS and being able to open the same file on two machines!

    Hi,
    Don't know if anybody can help?
    I have been using macs for many years and now we have moved over to windows!
    We are using a server (not sure which type? NT?) and we have found that with the Mac you could not have two users in the same file but with Windows I can be in an Illustrator file and a colleague can also open the same file - no error message comes up or anything! We can then both do changes in that file and the last to save has the updated file.
    Can we do anything so you get a error message for the second user?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Carole

    Hi,
    this does not make sense? Its the SAME version of Illustrator as that was on the Mac but when working on the PC you can both be in the file. On the Mac you get an error message saying the file is already open and you cannot access it.
    This must be a Windows issue or a Server issue as the problem is not on the Mac?

  • Two users opened the same file at the same time with file on Win2K Server

    I just had a problem with a file that could not be saved. After a little investigation I discovered that two users had the same file open at the same time. This is with both users using InDesign CS2 and saving to a Windows 2000 Server. Any ideas how this even happened? The only thing I can think of is if they both opened the file at the exact same time but even that I doubt. I guess the more likely possibility is that the user on 10.5 (which we have had a lot of problems with, it's hard to tell how many of them are CS3 problems (yes CS3) and how many are Windows 2003 Server problems) had InDesign CS2 flake out and not tell her the file was open. Has anybody else seen this? The other user was using 10.4. Both computers have the most recent updates for the OS and for their various adobe products.

    I have videos on mov file and my quick time player does not play them.
    The MOV file container is the generic QT file container. Any audio and video data compatible with the computer system used to create the file can be placed in the MOV file container. Unfortunate, other systems cannot play the file unless they too are configured with the same components as those used to create the file. The normal procedure here is to use the Finder "Info" or alternative media play "Inspector" window to determine what codecs were used to create the original file and, if they are available for your Mac, install them on your system for playback use. Also be advised that some "legacy" codecs may require playback in the QT 7 Player for proper QT support.
    I opened with other players, there is no sound. Then I opened the same file on my windows 7, it plays perfectly with the sound and everything? What is the problem?
    This would indicate these players either access your QT codec component configuration which does not include the required codec or the app has its own built-in codec support which does not include the required audio codec but you Windows 7 media player is configured with the required codec support. This may incidate the use of a really old codecs that may or may not be available/supported on a Mac any longer.

  • How do I stop more than one user opening the same file?

    I'm about to install Lion Server and we're concerned that more than one person will be able to open the same file at the same time. Can this be prevented? If not it seems to make the concept of a server pointless?
    Any help appreciated. Already annoyed I have to phone and order 10.7 Server as it's no longer on the App Store. Can't run 10.8 as the Mac Pro is too old and Apple have cut us off.

    The file server software supports file locking, but multiple file access is application-dependent. In some cases it's entirely valid for multiple users to access the same file. It's up to the application to allow or deny this.
    Ordinarily, if an application requires exclusive access it should flag the file accordingly when it opens the file. This will prevent other users from opening the file. However, it's not up to the server to do this.

  • Sender File Adapter picking the same file twice

    We are facing a weird issue with File Sender Adapter
    We are using PI File Adapter ( NFS ) to read files for a NFS folder and
    processing those in PI.Normally it works fine. But for a scenario we
    are noticing it sometimes process the same file twice before archiving,
    thus duplicating the financial postings.
    What we have is :
    File Sender Adapter - NFS, Polling interval 60 secs, and Processign
    mdoe Archive. File name includes Wildcards - JE_Upload*.txt
    what we are noticing is that :
    when it picks up a file, it immediately polls again to check for
    another file, and sometimes the file is not yet archived so it picks up
    and reprocess the same file.
    If you see the message below, both belong to the same file, and it
    picked up the same file again in 12 secs after processing it the first
    time

    Anyone seen this behavior before?

    Hi,
    Please check the script which creates file in source NFS Folders. There is possibility that script is making change in file when PI is picking up the file.
    When PI picks the file first time it creates one message ID in system. After that if script is making any change in file without file name change (This need not necessary data change), for PI it becomes new file and new message gets generated in PI for same file.
    This error normally comes when File adapter is not able to archive file succesfully. For eg. file with same name alredy exists in Archive folder.
    File adapter generates the new message id whenfile get modified(eg.change in its length or data change) even though
    the file name is same and when file get change ,XI file adapter thinks that its new file and hence generate the new message id for same file.
    If file has same name and notmodified then XI adapter will not generate new message id and will keep on throw the error till you remove that file with same name from the
    archieve directory.

    Gouri

  • Opening the same file in by different users

    As a newbie to InDesign I got a workflow question.
    Working with a team of 6 designers, we would like all to work in the same InDesign document. We need to create a big salebooks book, therefore it is necessary to open the same file in different copy of indesign?
    Currently we are working with CS5 and when I have a indd file open, none of my coworkers are able to open the file except for a copy. I understand that really working together on the same file is something you could do. But can’t be like in MS-Office? The moment you open a indd file which is already opened by a other user, you will get a message and you can then either to open as read only or a notification when the other user is ready editing the file
    Is this possible? Or do we need some additional tools?

    I would actually be surprised if there are no workflow management plugins that do this.
    As you imply, it's really not that hard to do.
    Making it look really slick would probably require a plugin.
    But you could do it fairly easily with some simple scripting, a few hours of work.
    One script that runs whenever anyone opens or closes a file and registers that open/closure with a server.
    Plus some extra stuff to deal with messaging.

  • When I try to open a pages document on my mac book pro it says "The file 'thesis.pages' couldn't be opened." But i can open the same file on my iPad and iPhone without a problem.

    When I try to open a pages document on my mac book pro it says "The file 'thesis.pages' couldn't be opened." But i can open the same file on my iPad and iPhone without a problem.

    Thanks very much for the instructions.  I encountered this problem this morning myself and the recommendation fixed the problem immediately.  When things like this happen with iCloud and Pages it makes me wonder if I might be better off using something else, having just recently had to fix the problem that the current Pages can't read documents I created with a much earlier version until they were "upgraded" by an interim version.

  • File Adapter does not process the same file twice

    SOA: 11.1.1.4 (non-HA).
    I have a file adapter that triggers when a new file gets to a directory; the file is not deleted after the process triggers.
    The process is supposed to call other services via a mediator and if any remote fault happens it should rollback automatically and re-trigger with the same file at the next polling interval.
    I have literally 3 scenarios:
    1). The file gets picked up once, the process fails and the file is never picked up again.
    Msg in log: The file : /xx/xx/xx/abc.xml is being ignored as it has already been processed
    2). If the mediator only routes to one service after the file gets picked up, it works as expect (that is rollback and restart at the next polling interval). If it has more than one sequential routing rule, I see the same error as above.
    3). File does not get picked up EVEN if I "touch" or rename the file.
    Msg in Log:
    File Adapter ProcessName Poller enqueuing file for processing :/xx/xx/xx/abc.xml
    File Adapter ProcessName Ignoring File : abc.xml as it is already enqued for processing.
    I have already checked, there is no permission issue.
    This is what my .jca file looks like:
    <adapter-config name="getFile" adapter="File Adapter" wsdlLocation="getFile.wsdl" xmlns="http://platform.integration.oracle/blocks/adapter/fw/metadata">
    <connection-factory location="eis/FileAdapter" UIincludeWildcard="*"/>
    <endpoint-activation portType="Read_ptt" operation="Read">
    <activation-spec className="oracle.tip.adapter.file.inbound.ScalableFileActivationSpec">
    <property name="DeleteFile" value="false"/>
    <property name="MinimumAge" value="5"/>
    <property name="SingleThreadModel" value="true"/>

    <property name="ListSorter" value="oracle.tip.adapter.file.inbound.listing.TimestampSorterAscending"/>
    </activation-spec>
    </endpoint-activation>
    </adapter-config>
    Thanks for looking into it in advance.
    Any help with the error messages will be appreciated.

    You have to use MOVE operation, if there is any remote exception occured, then move the file to someother folder and again move back to the same folder where the file pickup will start.
    In that way you will be use the same file picked up next time when the polling happens.

  • Dbms_lob.fileopen gives ORA-22288. Can open the same file with utl_file.

    What could cause the following behaviour:

    *Cause:    The operation attempted on the file or LOB failed.

       dbms_output.put_line(l_regel);
       utl_file.fclose_all;
    end;So it seems the file is available and accessable by the database.
    It's the first time we run into this particular error and it's one of the first 11gR2 instances so maybe there is something 11g specific we don't know about?

    Some progress made. It turns out the directory object points to a shared drive. It's a windows server and Oracle runs as Local System. I always thought that it was impossible to read anything from a shared drive in this situation. Apparently in some situations you can using utl_file but not usign dbms_lob.
