Indesign CS3 error: "Network connection was lost..."

Hi
Anybody out there experiencing this error message when working in Indesign on Snow leopard? "Network connection was lost..."
Funny thing is the machine is not connected to a server or internet.
The indesign doc had been fine, saved it, closed it, reopened it and exported a pdf. When I went to re-open it, the error came.
Now, I read online that there have been issues with renaming docs, or folders, possibly with relocating them. Someone else suggested it may be a registry problem.
This problem is NOT fixed by trashing preferences or by repairing permissions or disk.
Thanks!

Hello Studio Guy,
I was just searching the forums to see if anyone else was experiencing the 'network connection was lost' issue from InDesign CS3 and came across your note.
Did you manage to find a solution for this?
We work on a network on PCs using Vista and we are getting this error message regularly and have no idea why.
Like you say this problem is NOT fixed by trashing preferences or by repairing permissions or disk.
Did you find a solution?
cheers,
A

Store sign in error "network connection was lost"

I'm trying to sign into my iTunes account and it keeps telling me: "We could not complete your iTunes store request. The network connection was lost."
But I am still connected to my network and able to get on the internet. I have rebooted my Macbook and I am still getting the same errors
I am running MB Pro, Snow Leopard 10.6.7, and iTunes 10.5.2.
I get this error if I try to sign in or out of my iTunes account.

Yeah, I also reset the router and cable modem but that didn't do anything. It's so frustrating, everything that Apple does is so intuative and usually so user friendly but iTunes has been one big headache for me from the beginning, between me, my wife, 2 daughters and son, we have 3 iPhones and 5 iTouches, and I have the house iTunes account, and a work one, my wife has a work and my daughters have ones at their stepmothers house also, now trying to keep these all synced is a nightmare!! All I want is to be able to plug in whatever I have an update the software of drop daughter A's Cody Simpson CD on daughter B's iTouch... but since it's synced with her mother's computer she's out of luck, and that *****.

Sounds like its a bug of Indesign since CS CS2 CS3 on both Mac & windows.

InDesign - The network connection was lost

I see a few threads in regards to this problem but I don't either understand or see a credible fix for it. I work for a company that has a creative services department. In total there are about 20 employees, all with the same image on their Mac. The Mac models themselves can vary but I have one user who has had two different Macs now and she continues to be the only one in the department who has this problem. Randomly she will get the following errors from InDesign CS6 vr. 8.0.1 on OS X 10.9. She works on files from a server. Illustrator doesn't have this issue working from the same sever but InDesign does. This can happen while she is actively using the Mac so there isn't anything turning off or going to hibernate mode.
The network connection was lost for the file XXXXXXX.indd, or the file was modified by another process.
Followed by
Adobe InDesign is shutting down. A serious error was detected. Please restart InDesign to recover work in any unsaved InDesign documents.
To troubleshoot I have done the following:
1) Deleted the InDesign prefs.
2) Updated the CS 6 suite
3) Changed out network cable
4) With new cable, swapped her network port with another users network port. Problem still stayed with the user.
5) Had the network team monitor her port with a sniffer. They found nothing wrong with it.
6) Updated OS X 10.9
7) Removed CS 6 and re-installed.
Not sure what else to do.

Mac server or Windows server? Have you checked her permissions/access vs another user not having the issue?

I have the ipad2 with the latest Os upgrade. On certain websites, I get the following error message: cannot open page. Safari cannot open the page because the network connection was lost. I have rebooted, turned off wifi and reset the password.

This is happening to only certain websites. Unfortunately, the work ones that I need to access. I appreciate any help.
Error message:
Cannot open page
Safari cannot open the page because the network connection was lost
I reset the wifi and the password, I also rebooted several times.

Do you have any other browsers on your iPad? If you don't have one, why don't you try downloading one of these free browsers - they will all be "lite" versions (not full featured) - but if you can access these websites with one of those - then I assume that we can point to Safari as being the culprit. That will not solve the Safari problem, but it will give us another point from which to work.

I have Mercury, iCab Mobile, Opera, Dolphin and Atomic. iCab Mobile - the paid version is great.
BTW ... have you tried to access these sites from another WiFi connection - like a library, a friend's house - any other WiFi network?

Can't purchase: the dreaded "network connection was lost" error.

I'm suddenly having iTunes problems, but they haven't been prompted by anything. I have 2 iTunes accounts: one works just fine for purchasing, the other generates this error message when I click "BUY" or when I click "Purchase" from within my Wish List:
We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The network connection was lost. There was an error in the ITunes Store. Please try again later.
I just updated to the latest OS, and re-downloaded the latest iTunes hoping that would help, but no luck. One account still works just fine, the other won't download at all.
I found similar issues in the forums, so I also repaired disk permissions, and also did a Keychain First Aid. Those didn't help either. I looked at my network settings, and nothing has changed in there either.
I also read that it could be a MobileMe issue: my Mobile Me account name is the iTunes account that's not working, but my non-mobile-me account name works just fine.
I'm completely & totally stumped. Googling for the possible answer only yields threads from 2-3 years ago. Has anyone had this problem recently, and perhaps found a fix for it? I'm stuck!
Kirby

I'm still stuck on this one. I've tried repairing permissions, doing Keychain first aid... nothing helps. I've also installed the most recent version of iTunes, hoping that would fix the problem, but no dice. I even uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, but that didn't work either.
I'm not running any kind of virus protection software on my mac, and I don't have any custom firewall settings: they're defaulted to whatever they were at original startup.
It's not my cable modem, because my laptop can download without a problem from either account, but my desktop keeps hitting the wall of this error. I've scoured the web high and low, and unfortunately can't find any fixes. But I've encountered plenty of people who've had the same problem. I feel like there must be an errant file somewhere, or corrupt preference file, or a box ticked that shouldn't be ticked: something is making this error message pop up over and over again. I've also read that it has something to do with MobileMe users (which I am) but I don't understand how that would impact my ability to purchase a song.
I'm truly stumped, and I'm usually good at this stuff. Help!

Java scripts "network connection was lost" error ???

Hello... I think I have a problem with Java.... I can't click certain links on pages, or watch vids on Hulu (the vid doesn't even load & no play button). At the bottom of Safari there is a message "# errors occurred in opening this page..." so I follow the directions and go to Window->Activity, and all of the error messages say "The network connection was lost" next to all of the addresses ending in .js (which I think is java script, lol I don't even know) I've been to a site to check to see if Java is working, and it says it's working, and its enabled in my preferences. I've also tried Firefox, Camino, & Flock and still have the same problems. Anyone know how to fix this???

Hi,
*"I've also tried Firefox, Camino, & Flock and still have the same problems."*
Since the issue effects all the browsers....
Hulu requires the Flash Player plugin. You might benefit from uninstalling your current version then reinstall a new copy.
Uninstall Flash
Install Flash
Then From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594
Make sure Safari is running in 32-bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. *Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.*
If you still have problems with Safari, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If it's a successful launch, then that .plist file needs to be moved to the Trash.

While upgrading error message says Network connection was lost

After Itunes downloads the newest upgrade for my Iphone 4, an error message comes up saying that the network connection was lost or had timed out. Thus, not letting me upgrade my Iphone 4 or even keeping the downloaded upgrade. Any Suggestions?

This is a common issue which has been posted and answered literally hundreds of times.
Disable any Anti-Virus or Firewall software on the computer.

Network connection was lost for the file

Indesign CS4 6.0.6
2012 27" iMac
OSX 10.8
My InDesign has been crashing and I get the following two error messages.
"The network connection was lost for the file...
"Adobe InDesign is shutting down. A serious error was detected. Please restart InDesign to recover work in any unsaved InDesign documents."
As a result of the crash my Indesign file get deleted as well as the parent folder and all of its content including various file types. This has happened twice to me now, luckily I am running hourly backups but it is still extremely frustrating. I am not sure if this is a problem with the Adobe software or my mac server, but I thought I would start here first.
Thanks for any help that you can offer
- Katie

"Adobe InDesign is shutting down. A serious error was detected."
Normal, but arguably unacceptable behavior with InDesign if the network hiccups or stops while working accross a network. Adobe/InDesign does not formally support network work, which is insane in the typical environment.
The loss of a file or folder is not typical.

Unable to check for available downloads. the network connection was lost

in my downloads window in iTunes it shows i have "28 iTunes downloads available". when i try to download them, i get the error "Unable to check for available downloads. the network connection was lost."
my connection is fine though, as i can individually download purchases by clicking on the cloud icon.

I followed the advice on Holgr's link, i used screen flow to capture the error message, and then made the video available to apple support. My issue was immediately escalated, and my account started working again shortly after.
I received no additional messages from tech support, i had no idea the problem was resolved until i tried it again.
