InDesign won't open when network drive is not available.

Hi everyone,
I have a laptop (MacBook Pro OSX10.9.5), which shares a network drive in my office. The drive is with a different computer. When I take the laptop out of the office network (to a meeting or home), InDesign will not open, it gives me the following error (see attached image). I've tried replacing the Defaults and SavedData files, and also re-installing InDesign from scratch. I still get the same error. Any idea what is happening or how to fix it? Thank you in advance.

Hi!
I figured out what the issue was, finally. After playing around, I noticed that my InDesign Fonts folder, had "alias" links to some fonts that resided on that shared drive. As soon as I deleted all the ones that where aliases, the error went away. Hopefully this helps someone in the future.

  • Office Docs won't open from network drive

    I can’t open any office  documents from a mapped network drive. I can however go to file explorer and go straight the server directory (\\servername\share) and open any document. As a workaround, I created a shortcut on the desktop that points to
    the share to allow the user to continue working.
    I have checked permission and added the path in Trust Center. I know it’s not the computer because I have logged in with other users and everything works fine. I have also logged into other computer with the user that is having the problem and again everything
    works. I'm convinced it some setting I'm missing within the user profile on the computer.
    The computer is running Windows 8 with Office 365 and is current on updates for both.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Hi,
    Did you get any error message when you try to open an Office document from a mapped network drive?
    Meanwhile, here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
    1. Temporarily turn off your firewall/antivirus program to check the result.
    2. Try to disconnect the network drive and then reconnect it with the "Reconnect at logon" check box unticked.
    3. You can have a look at the following KB article and check if it applies:

  • Custom Snippets won't open from Network Drive

    Hello All,
    I'm using SQL Developer production release on a Window XP Svcpk 2 machine.
    I have installed the extension to save snippets. My installation is on a network drive and I can open the "custom" snippets from that drive. However, if I move the snippets.xml to another network drive(one the entire department can see) SQL Developer doesn't open them. I have modified the sqldeveloper.conf to point to the location on the network drive as well as attempted to use a copy on my local hard drive. This may be a "feature" that it has to be in the jdev/extensions directory but it would be useful if the snippets.xml could be placed on a shared network drive. Don't think it is pertinent but I'm connecting to 10.1.0.5 DB(s) as well as an XE DB.
    Thanks for your input....
    Bob

    Hi,
    This is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Office, the issue is more related to the user profile. I'll move your question to Windows server forum.

  • WORD WON'T OPEN FROM NETWORK DRIVE OR ANY LOCATION.

    Windows 7 Pro
    Office 2010 Standard
    Computer is connected to the network drive domain. 
    Word is the only office program with this problem.
    Whenever i Clicked on word file on network drive. Work tries to open then it just stop working. After that i tried to open it again and it tells me that will open in save mode.
    Tried to reestablish connection with Network Drive, Repair Office, Re install Office. 
    Any suggestion would be appreciated

    Hi,
    This behavior may occur if the connection to the network location is lost during the time that your Word is opening the file. To work around this issue, add the
    EnableShellDataCaching value to the Microsoft Windows registry.
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\Open Find
    DWORD: EnableShellDataCaching
    Value: 1
    If above doesn't make any difference, please have a look at the following KB article and check if the scenarios apply:

    Please let me know the result.

    It's recommended to download and install
    Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

  • Photoshop won't open because scratch file is not available!

    Hi,  When I try to open my CS5 version of PS, it gives me this error: "Could not open a scratch file because the disk is not available"  When I click OK, is gives another warning: "Could not initialize Photoshop because the disk is not available."  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling PS and I still get this problem.  I can't open the program to see what is going on with the scratch file/disk!  Does anyone know what I can do?

  • Elements 9 won't open "because the disk is not available"

    Hi All
    I have had PSE 9 on my Mac for 18 months with no problems.
    Recently I upgraded the boot drive to a larger one as the original was running out of space. I used a standard disc cloning tool and all has been well.
    Except...PSE now says it "cannot open scratch file because the disk is not available" followed by "cannot initialise because the disk is not available".
    I uninstalled PSE and downloaded a new copy thinking perhaps that the original was somehow corrupted by the cloning. Still does the same thing.
    I repaired permissions and re-started but still does the same thing.
    Frankly I am stumped.
    Anyone got any ideas? It does not even say which disk it thinks is unavailable!

    Sadly that has not made any difference  I am afraid.
    This is what happens:

  • InDesign won't open file - says I'm not signed in to Adobe C Cloud, but I am!

    Anyone know how to fix this?
    When I try to open the file, it tells me I am not signed into creative cloud - which I definitely am.  And it tells me I have to go to 'help' then sign in, then restart adobe indesign.
    I am already signed into adobe creative cloud however. 
    I have done this several times - completely signing out of everything, restarting computer, signing back into creative cloud, etc,... no solution.
    Can source files be 'locked' or only opened by their original Adobe ID creator?  I was sent these files by a good designer.  Did he lock them by accident?
    I don't even know if that is possible.  He is now on a month long jungle adventure.
    Please help - I don't want to spend anymore hours trying to get these files open.
    Thank you community!

  • Illustrator CS 5.1 won't open when we log in to our Macintosh workstations on home network(mac)

    Hi,
    I have been asked by one of our customers the following question, please can you help!!!
    The issue we have is that Adobe Illustrator CS 5.1 won’t open when we log in to our Macintosh workstations using an account with a network home area.
    We have multiple OSX 10.6 workstations and our users have Open Directory accounts with network home areas on an OSX 10.6 server. All the other Adobe CS 5.5 applications (InDesign, Photoshop etc.) work fine with our network accounts, but Illustrator won’t open at all. When a user clicks the Illustrator icon to launch the program, it bobs up and down in the dock for approximately 2 minutes, then the program closes. No splash screen appears. I have tested this with several different accounts (including new ones created for this purpose) on several workstations with the same results.
    When I tested this with a local standard user (not Administrator) account Illustrator launched successfully. There are no other differences between this local account and the network accounts other than where the home area is located, and where the account authenticates to.
    Thanks,
    Elfed.

    Hi,

  • My DVD drive won't open when I click the button

    Hi there
    I'm hoping someone can help me.
    My DVD drive won't open when I click the button.
    I've tried clicking on eject on the DVD Drive icon in My Computers and it comes up with an error message.
    I think I deleted cookies the other day. Could that have anything to do with the problem?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as I really don't want to send my laptop away to a technician.

    Hi
    Try to open the CD/DVD drive manually.
    Near the eject button you will find a small hole.
    You could use a small object like staple and could push it carefully into this hole.
    Usually this should helps to open the drive manually.

    FCE 4.0.1 won't open when I click the icon in the Dock or in the Applications icon of FCE. It had been working well but I had trouble when I trashed the reference Scratch disk to a project and I was asked to get it back. I checked all my drives through verify in Disk Utility and a couple needed repair - eventually were given the OK. I then Shut Down and rebooted, I then trashed the FCE App and reinstalled from the Install discs and , finally, I tried opening a FCE project. None of these caused the FCE App to open with Browser, Viewer, Canvas,. Time Line. All that happens is the the first FCE window, the one that says FCE registered to...and the other that says loading AE Effects, Video Effects does show but then nothing except my Desktop with it's various folders and files I also downloaded the Plug In Tom Wolsky suggested to a recent query.
    All I can think of is to backup everything to HDs and take this iMac in for a service.It is only six months old - I reckon it will be poor driving by it's proud but unskilled driver!

    Don't panic . . . . . yet!
    You may not have trashed FCE properly.
    Deleting the application icon is useless as there are a number of files hidden elsewhere which may be corrupt.
    Download this free app to uninstall FCE completely and then reinstall it.

    I know it is called FCS Remover but it also works for FCE.

    I've upgraded to FF4 uing windows 7 64-bit - won't open when click on shortcut, have tried to reinstall etc, prev ok with version 3+

    I found something that could be a workaround ... wel at least it's gotten me one step further (windows 7 now recognizes the scanner as the right device (symbol usb sync cradle), but step 8 keeps failing.
    source : http://www.pocketpcjunkies.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/wince/5660/Windows-CE-5-or-6-with-Vista-and-Windows-Mobile-Device-Center
    1. Install WMDC 6.
    2. Plus the Windows CE based device.
    3. Close the "Found new hardware" wizard.
    4. Right-click on "Computer" and select "Manage"
    5. Open the Device Manager, then select the Windows CE based device.
    6. Right-click and select "Update driver..."
    7. In the wizard, select "pick from a list..."
    8. In the list, select "Microsoft USB Sync [Microsoft]".
    9. ... nothing else! It works!
    Anything else I could try now?The first time I tried step 8, the microsoft usb sync driver was in the list but I got an error while updating the driver. The second time, it didn't appear on the list anymore. I'm thinking this is more of a 64-bit driver problem.

  • No Sync when network drive connected

    Hello,
    I have an ipod nano that won't sync through itunes when network drives are mapped.
    I am not trying to sync to the network drive, but just the presence of network drives stops the nano from syncing with itunes.
    As soon as I disconnect the network drives the ipod syncs with itunes fine.
    I have tried this on two different computers and the same thing happens.
    I am using Windows XP-sp2 with the latest itunes (6.0.4) and the latest updates for the ipod.
    Has anyone else experienced this?
    Any workarounds?
    Thank you in advance.
