InDesign becomes unresponsive when editing text off the network. Techs are flummoxed!

Recently my InDesign (CS6 running on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, 8gb ram) has become almost totally unresponsive when I go to open and edit a file off the company network. Our techs have no idea what is going on and are considering having to re-build my profile as a last resort as we have tried everything else.
A bit more of a descriptoin of the problem: When I go to edit an InDesign file off the server it first takes longer than normal to load but eventually does. You can scroll up and down the pages, move and resize boxes, place new pictures but as soon as you try to do anything text based (edit new text or make a new text box) the whole program freezes to the point you have to task manager out and kill it. It is not a corupt file because if I copy the file directory with all links over on to my computers local hard disk the file works totally fine it is only when editing over the network and when edouble clicking to edit text.
What we have done to try and fix the problem:
Reinstal InDesign - No effect
Cleared the preferences (shift + ctrl + alt + windows key on InDesign startup) - No effect
Our techs have tried editing my profile registry to no avail and we are all compleatly at a loss to what is going on. There are several other instances of the program across the company (mainly versions 5.5 and one other 6) and they all work fine editing files straight off the network.
Anyone have any idea what it could be, such a specific problem being only when it is editing text based areas? The techs dont want to have to re-build my profile as it is a lot of back end work to do to be able to re-instate it straight away.
Many thanks in advance for any insights into the issue

So we have finally fixed the issue and are currently cracking out the bubbly!
It turned out to be the network path shotcut I was using to access the shared drive where I was editing the files from. I work for a restaurant so we have a shared drive where each site can access their files, this is where the food menu files reside and I had created a shortcut that, although accessed the correct area did it using a path which had a double backslash in it.
The true path for the shared drive is \\hm\mydocs\restaurant\menufile.indd and this is the shortcut I was using to open the file up from. For all other files like Word, Excel, even other Adobe programs like PSE10, and Lightroom it seems to work fine. For some reason InDesign does not like this path with the double backslash in. As soon as I changed the shortcut path to just m:\ (the letter of the shared drive on the network) everything was working again and we can all sleep, it was driving us mental. Re-installed windows, InDesign created a new network user profile the works.
I hope this may help someone else in a similar situation in the future

Can my client add a link when editing text with the content management of Business Catalyst?

I created a site using Muse. My client chose to host with BC and take advantage of the content management option. She has edited text to include her email and wants to create a hyperlink from that text to her actual email. Is this possible and if so, do I need to change the user Permissions to allow her to do this?

Yes, she is editing content in the admin panel, but when she edits the text, she just gets the option to change text and update. There is not a button for hyperlink and then email. It seems like linking, something so simple, should be allowed. What do I need to do to allow this to happen for her?

Authenticating off the network?!?!?!

I have a couple users that for some reason when they disconnect from the network they are unable authenticate on their local machines. While on the network they authenticate through open directory just fine. What am I missing? What can I look at? I also have MANY other OD users that are able to log on while off the network just fine so I don't think it's a server issue (but I'm not ruling it out)???

I think I may have misunderstood your original question. Can you explain exactly how the accounts are set up, and where the home dirs are?
PHD's are portable home directories. Users have OD accounts, and their home dirs are stored on a server and the local HD. The home dirs are synced when they connect to the network (you specify when exactly). You get the reliability of having most of the user's files on the server, and the portablilty og having the user being able to access their files when they're not on the network. I've not used PHD's myself, so I can't advise you on more than what they are.

My MacBook Air becomes unresponsive when logging in, and I decided to reinstall OS X Lion. When running the installer from OS X Recovery, it gave the error message "An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again."

Checking in the log revealed the following error:

The rest of the line is cutted off. Does anyone know what went wrong and how to fix it ?

I encountered the same exact problem when I attempted to re-installed OSX Lion on an old laptop. The date was set back in 2000, which rendered the certificate obsolete. Here's how I fixed it:
From the recovery menu, select the Terminal application. Run the 'date' command to confirm the date is wrong, then set the correct date using this command: date {month}{day}{hour}{minute}{year}
e.g. date 1219195613
Exit terminal (type exit). Retry the installation.

My alerts work when I'm on the phone such as text message Facebook n Instagram but when I'm off the phone it doesn't work how can I fix this :(

Why does the Yosemite Finder become unresponsive when moving a file within my USB Flash stick?

Why does the Yosemite Finder become unresponsive when moving a file within my USB Flash stick? I have to Relaunch the Finder to get it working again.
Background / other symptoms:
The Flash drive in question has been formatted HFS.
I get no error messages, including on the Console, and no sound indicators.
I can copy files, using the Finder, from a hard-drive to the usb flash drive with no problem.
Finder copying on this stick works just fine on my other Mac.
I can move files within another (FAT32-formatted) USB flash drive.
The quirky USB HFS Flash drive works fine on my other Mac.
Outside of the Finder, I can use mv just fine to move the files on the HFS flash drive.
If the HFS-formatted Flash drive were faulty, I would at least expect some sort of error in the Console app, but perhaps not from the Finder.

My Droid Maxx deleted all my text messages by itself. I had all of them, got a phone call, and when I got off the call, all my texts where gone. Is there a way I can get them all back?

My Droid Maxx deleted all my text messages by itself. I had all of them, got a phone call, and when I got off the call, all my texts where gone. Is there a way I can get them all back? I had a lot and some where really important to me. I turned the phone off and on again thinking that would bring them back because of some glitch but it didn't help. Does anyone know of a way to bring them all back?

It's very possible to get your messages back. Verizon Messages (app) from the Play Store has options both to restore and back up your messages. They can be downloaded as a file and saved on the device or SD card. By pulling the menu out from the left side and choosing "Restore Conversations", you can (hopefully) restore your lost messages but it says for 90 days. I hope this doesn't reach you too late.

Itunes becomes unresponsive when trying to burn a cd

I have been using Itunes for the past 3 years and now all the sudden when I try to burn a cd itunes beocmes unresponsive and I have to reboot. When I go to burn and insert the cd it tells me checking media and then becomes unresponsive. I have downloaded the latest version of Itunes and checked all the setting suggested in the online help. Any ideals?

something about unchecking "include cd text" or "write text to cd". i had this same problem. hope that helps.

ESXi 6 fails/becomes unresponsive when attempting to create Datastore on OCZ SSD

I am trying to bring a Mac Mini 5,3 online with vSphere 6. The system originally came with two 500GB 7.2kRPM drives, and I swapped one with a brand new OCZ ARC100-25SAT3-480G SSD. I am booting from a SanDisk 64GB USB plugged into the back.
I brought the system online, added it to my vCenter, created a new datastore using the remaining 7200RPM drive, and all was well up to that point. As soon as I attempt to create a new datastore on the OCZ drive, the host becomes unresponsive to either vCenter or the old thick client. At the console I am still able to log in and look at the logs but that is about it, and it will even hang if I attempt a restart from the console so I have to manually power cycle it. If I leave it running, after a very long time (more than 10 minutes) the thick client will eventually throw the following useless error:
Call "HostDatastoreSystem.CreateVmfsDatastore" for object "ha-datastoresystem" on ESXi "octo" failed.
So I tried using partedUtil to remove partitions and do it again, with no change as soon as I tried to create the datastore (UI becomes unresponsive). Then I booted the machine using an external drive with OS X 10.10.3 on it and tried partitioning the drive MBR/FAT32, wrote and read a few files to make sure the drive actually seemed to work, and booted it back on on vSphere 6. When I attempted to create a Datastore again, I still got the same behavior.
After a reboot, this is what partedUtil reports for the disk:
partedUtil get /dev/disks/t10.ATA_____OCZ2DARC100______________________________A22L2061437000076___
58369 255 63 937703088
1 2048 937697984 0 0

Doesn't work, in fact ESXi seems to just hate this disk. Since my original post, I've tried a few more things.
First, I tried to use both partedUtil and disk to delete the partition on the drive. This does not work.
partedUtil delete /vmfs/devices/disks/t10.ATA_____OCZ2DARC100______________________________A22L2061437000076___ 1
Error: Read-only file system during write on /dev/disks/t10.ATA_____OCZ2DARC100______________________________A22L2061437000076___
Unable to delete partition 1 from device /vmfs/devices/disks/t10.ATA_____OCZ2DARC100______________________________A22L2061437000076___
So I yanked the drive out, which is not trivial on a Mac Mini, and attached it to a windows box, then used diskpart to run the clean command on it. I stuck back in the Mac Mini and had the same freezing and uselessness. So I thought I'd try a different system. I have an older SuperMicro X8SIL system in the rack that was easy to pop the top off of and hot insert the drive after another round using clean with diskpart. After refreshing the storage controllers, the X8SIL machine saw it, so I told it to try to partition the device, and I got the exact same behavior. Since this machine has a disk activity light, I can see that the disk light is pegged on.

How to edit text in the yellow text box of a URL-link?

Hey guys!
I´m currently working on a website in Iweb.
My current challenge is the following:
- I´ve made a marked text a hyperlink. But when I rollover it, a yellow text box appears and shows the entire URL.
Now, I want it to show a custom edit text.
example:
the link is: www.domainpage.com/home/subfolder/page1234/sweet.html.
the yellow text box SHOULD SAY (example):
"Sweet" tattoo
How do I rename the text in the yellow box?

This is a screenshot of what text boxes affect the page title.
If you can't change the necessary text box to reflect the title you want you can add the title via an HTML snippet and the following code:
<script type='text/javascript'>
parent.document.title = "PAGE NAME TO SHOW IN BROWSER TAB/BAR";
</script>
Apply the code via snippet to each page you want to change the name to.

ITunes freezes and becomes unresponsive when I plug in my iPad.

I have Windows 7, and iTunes works perfectly fine, until I plug in my iPad or any device (I have a iPod touch 4 generation and iPhone 4s). The second I plug in my iPad, iTunes completely freezes and becomes unresponsive. It also becomes unresponsive when I try to go to Preferences. I have to go to task manager to force iTunes to close, but if I unplugged my iPad, iTunes becomes responsive after a couple minutes.
I have researched this problem multiple times, and it seems several others are experiencing the same problem. I have tried their suggested advice, and it did not work for me. I have tried many methods to solving the solution, but it freezes up so quickly I can't even access my iPad on iTunes to ensure that it won't sync automatically. I have also tried holding Ctrl+Shift when plugging it in because iTunes said that way it won't sync automatically. This, however, does not work. iTunes is beginning to become very frustrating. I just really need any advice that will allow me to sync my device ASAP.
I understand there must be some sort of bug in the latest version of iTunes (I also have the latest version of iOS on my iPad and iPhone), but if anyone has any advice as to how to get around this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Editing text in the blank composite target box?

I am having a very hard time editing text inside the composite target box. Sometimes it moves outside the target box and operates as a static text box. The target box itself shows/hides correctly though the text is not part of it.
I am unable to use the blank composite widget to place grahics and text boxes inside the target box.
There has to be a subtle principle I do not grasp yet.
Clues or help is apprecaited.
Jim

Hi Jim
If you have placed the text inside target then it should work fine. It may be a chance that the text frame is not inside the target but on it.
You can check that , if the text frame is inside target then you would get the interface option for text frame ( small blue circle ). But if the text frame is simply placed on the target then you wont get that interface option when you click text frame.
Thanks,
Sanjit

When editing in iMovie the pointer doesn't jumps to the next line of clips

Hi,
This should not happen.
Having said that it will happen to some extent of you Paste in a larger amount of text.
Does holding down the ALT key and hitting Enter/return a couple of times expand the window ?
This normally adds Line Breaks to the Text Field
If this does not work it will point to a windowing issue which is related to data held in com.apple.ichat.plist
Go to the Finder and it's Go Menu.
In here hold the ALT key so you can see the Home Library item and select that
Open Preferences.
Find the com.apple.iChat.plist and the associated .lockfile and drag both to the Trash.
Restart iChat.
