InDesign does not save - generates new file

While working with a 6 person workgroup, using InDesign and InCopy across a network.
I am in InDesign CS 6 on a Mac, the rest of the team in InCopy CS 6 on PC's.
The problem I am encountering is intermittent and happens when the group is very active, crunching on a tight pub deadline.
Some times I am able to save the InDesign file properly, it saves over the latest version in the proper place without prompting.
At other times it does not allow me to save properly and forces a "Save As" scenario, which of course wreaks havoc with the links.
We are working over a network that also creates scenarios where a file in PowerPoint sometimes pops up inadvertently and intermittently as "read only"
I can only describe this as a kind of intermittent "lag" in the network.
Any thoughts?

A save as, over the current file should not cause any problems at all
and in fact is pretty good practice.
If you can't save over it, are you getting an error message?

  • FAQ: When I apply edits to an image using Revel, does it save a new file or just the edits?

    Q. When I apply edits to an image using Revel, does it save a new file or just the edits?
    A. Revel cloud keeps a copy of your full resolution originals. Edits in  revel are non-destructive, so your original is always preserved (unedited). When you export photo (MAC) Save to Camera Roll (iOS), that's when Revel applies your edits. On iOS the preview is used. on MAC the full resolution of the original is used to generate the new edited photo.

    Thanks kumars ,
    I have a specific drag and drop area on our website. This works fine for all earlier releases of Firefox after these security settings
    "(1) Enter "about:config" in the URL field; (2) Right click and select New->Boolean; (3) Enter "signed.applets.codebase_principal_support" (without the quotes) as a new preference name; (4) Click OK and try loading the file again."
    Bust these settings not work for me in Firefox 17.
    Yes the drag and drop functionality is java script based and i am not using any script blocker addons.

  • Image Capture does not save a scanned file

    Image Capture using an HP Photosmart C3180 to scan a document does so but does not save the file to the Desktop.
    A pop-up windows displays Scan Results but still not file
    O/S Lion, Image Capture Version 6.1 (440).
    Used to work, what is the deal?

    As for the scanner - so is this new one wireless? When I hooked up my Epson All-in-One, I had to install it via USB first before I could install the wireless (per their instructions).  With Snow Leopard, I simply installed the driver and it covered and recognized both the print and scan function - not so in Lion; I had to go through hoops with the scanner part and it finally showed up as a separate unit. I thought that is silly, but - as long as it works.....  I'm trying to think of possibilities since I'm about out of ideas, so you might want to consider that (if it applies). The other troubleshooting suggestions usually include redoing the "add" function after a reboot.
    As for Image Capture, I am out of ideas. FWIW, I never use it - in my workflow, there is no need for it. Not sure if this would have an impact, but make sure that you choose Image Capture in the CDs&DVDs Preference Pane (mine is set to ignore or ask purposely):
    If that does not work, I'd suggest reinstalling the OS over the top of what you have.

  • Why BRBACKUP cmd does not save SAP control files?

    Hello!
        We experience some issues running BRBACKUP utility to save SAP's data objects.
    When we run the BRBACKUP cmd, we see that all tablespaces and configurations files
    are save, but BRBACKUP cmd does not save control files. Why, we don't know?
    BRBACKUP run throught AIX crontab and it looks like this ...
    brbackup -u system/disapinst01 -c -m full -t online
    the init<SID>.ora file looks good, we can see that the *.control_files entry is OK.
    *.control_files='/oracle/<SID>/origlogA/cntrl/cntrlDDI.dbf',
                    '/oracle/<SID>/origlogB/cntrl/cntrlDDI.dbf',

    Somebody help us, please!

    brbackup copies one controlfile to /oracle/PRD/sapbackup and then backs up this copy.
    look for a similar message in your log:

  • Uninstall the application does not delete all new files and folders.

    If the user decides to uninstall my Air app, it does not delete the created folders with files in AppData. Another problem is that if the application creates new files in the folder Program Files/AirAppFolder, then uninstall of the app are not deleted these files.
    How to solve these problems, help please?

    Hi,
    AIR shouldn't be creating additional files in your program files folder, is this something you're doing programmatically?  If so, you might want to consider using File.applicationStorageDirectory instead given permission problems you'll have on newer operating systems.
    As to uninstalling all files (even the data created in the user's storage folder) this is something you might consider using a native installer to take care of.  Since the AIR installer is unaware of this data, it won't know to delete it on uninstall.  Instead, you'll want to create a custom function in a native installer that deletes these folders/files and then sub launches the AIR install/uninstall.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • "Backup" does not save a Json file nor does one automatically create when I start up firefox (bookmarkbackups)

    Hello,
    I've successfully saved my bookmarks and browsing history in the past.
    Transfering them from an old hard drive to a new hard drive.
    I was trying "Backup" my bookmarks, but after choosing a location to "backup," firefox freezes for a few seconds but no json file is created.
    Also, when I look up the "boomarkbackups" folder, the last saved file was sometime in June.
    Can someone help me?
    Thanks so much for your time and help.
    Cheers,
    KevinH

    FredMcD,
    Thanks so much for your help thus far!
    Thanks for the addon I backed up using FEBE, But I don't see JSON files
    Session store, places.sqlite,
    Bookmars-2014-04-15_76972.json (for example)
    Are they all actually backed up? I Performed a back up and all I got was the following:
    (See image - and is this all normal, is it missing anything? Can this negate fixing places.sqlite?)
    Cor-el,
    Also, thank you for helping!
    I turned off firefox and rebooted computer as instructed if the link you sent. Couldn't not back up and no auto backup.
    Is there a danger of loosing my bookmarks using this (as described in the link you sent):
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
    The rebuild section in the post (Rebuild Places database)
    warns of loosing your bookmarks. So should I try the following first? :

    Thanks both of you for your help and time. My bookmarks are like my library. They are very special to me.
    Cheers,

    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

  • I can no longer burn a disc. The command to do so does not appear in my Files menu. All my recordings are 100% legal. I have installed a new version (it still looks the same), but that hasn't helped. I have done so before.

    All my music is from legal sources (albums owned by me, others from iTunes), but the Burn Disc command does not appear in the File menu, and nothing I do helps. I downloaded a new version of iTunes, but it still loks the same and may just be the same. But the problem started long before I did that.

    You don't even need to show the general Sidebar as suggested by others.
    Select Playlists in the top buttons:
    then control-click on the playlist you wish to burn in left column, e.g.:

    How to fix file when it says, "Cannot open file " ". Adobe Indesign does not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file may be missing, or file may be open in another application." It worked one second, I saved and closed the file, then tried to reopen and now it won't work. I am using Adobe InDesign CS5. It is the only version on my comp. I have tried opening on another comp & copying the file – same error comes up. PLEASE HELP

    First check the version of the document with Jongware's script "Identify.jsx" (ExtendScript/JavaScript).
    You can find it here:
    [Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
    If it is CS 5.5 or above, you need someone to open it in the version the script says and export an IDML representation from that. Another way would be to install a 30days version of CS6 or above (CC) and do it yourself.
    In regards of the script showing a result for InDesign files higher than CS6:
    CS7 = CC v9
    CS8 = CC v10 = CC-2014 or CC2014.1

  • Camera RAW does NOT yet support raw files for the new  Canon Sureshot S95

    Camera RAW does NOT yet support raw files for the new
    Canon Sureshot S95.
    Adobe, please can you provide an update asap

    Hello!
    I think that you need to be patient.
    There has not been any release of Camera Raw since the release of the camera.
    I recommend to try the next version once it will be released, as there might be preliminary support (and therefore not listed).
    Usually, Adobe is amongs the firsts to support a new camera.
    Even though the Camera Raw team is fielded with wonderful coders, I do not think that they do have a time machine to allow support before they have their hands on a camera
