Linked PSD files not found when opening .ai files via shared folder

My main user folder on the iMac is set to be shared (read/write, including all enclosed files) with my MacBook Pro so that I can get someone to help me on a big job. The job is a series of one-page InDesign files (they are newspaper advertisements). The IDD files contain a series of Illustrator files with linked PSD files.
The idea is that we can both work on the .idd and .ai files in the same folder at the same time.
It's all working fine EXCEPT that whenever an .ai file is opened on the MacBook, Illustrator doesn't know where the linked PSD files are. We can update the link, but when the .ai file is then opened on the iMac and saved, the same thing happens the next time it is opened on the Macbook.
I don't want to embed the PSD files into the .ai files as sometimes I have to modify them and they can be linked to up to 20 .ai files. Any ideas?

If you are rebooting the computer holding down T to share via firewire, that is your problem. that mounts the other computer as a hardrive and probably messes up the filepath.
Turn on sharing via Ethernet or wireless
Connecting two computers using Ethernet
You can use an Ethernet cable to connect two Mac computers and share files or play network games.
To connect two computers using Ethernet:
Connect a standard Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port on one computer to the Ethernet port on the other. You don’t need to use an Ethernet crossover cable.
If your computer doesn’t have an Ethernet port, try using a USB-to-Ethernet adapter.
On each computer, choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Sharing. Note the computer name for each computer.
In the Finder on one of the computers, choose Go > “Connect to Server,” and then click Browse.
Double-click the other computer in the window and enter your password, if necessary.
If you manually configured the TCP/IP settings for the Ethernet service on the computer you are connecting to, you may need to enter that computer’s TCP/IP address in the “Connect to Server” dialog.
To see or set the TCP/IP address, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Network, and select Ethernet in the list.

  • How can I stop Firefox from opening (to "File Not Found") when opening my Opera browser?

    Ever since I installed Opera 10.61 on my new computer (Windows 7 Ultimate operating system), whenever I open Opera, Firefox opens one second later with the following error message:
    '''File not found '''
    Firefox can't find the file at /C:/Users/Nasheed/AppData/Local/Opera/Opera/temporary_downloads/client-en.xml.
    * Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.
    * Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.
    TRY AGAIN.
    <nowiki>****************************************************</nowiki><br />
    This happens EVERY TIME I OPEN THE OPERA BROWSER. How can I stop this from happening? I'm stumped.
    [EXTRA INFO - I was unable to enable Firefox to access my previous profile on the new computer (despite putting the old profile in the appropriate Mozilla Firefox folder. So, there are now two profiles in that location.
    After reading the answer to another forum member's question, I attempted to resolve the problem using Profile Manager, but I was unable to locate the Profile Manager. The Windows "Search" feature is not enabled on my new computer (nor can it be enabled from the Customize Start Menu options).]

    Thank you for your response, Cor-el.
    I had Opera set as my default browser since this began happening. I changed my default browser back to Firefox mainly because having Firefox open one or two seconds every time I open Opera was/is such a nuisance.
    I believe this problem began because I attempted to manually transfer the files from my old computer to the new one (via the backed up files in my external drive). I was unfamiliar with Windows 7 when I did this. Microsoft changed the file set up from what I had been used to in Windows XP. I used XP for six years before being exposed to Windows 7 (I never had Vista).
    I'm almost sure this problem has something to do with where I placed the application data when I was trying to reestablish the program set up on the new computer.

  • "File Not Found" When opening a file in illustrator CS3

        I having issues where when I click on a file it launches illustrator but then I get prompted with file not found. I then open illustrator and browse to the file and am to open it....any ideas? This one has me stumped.

    I think I found the problem. I am using Illustrator CS5 (15.0.02) running on MacOS (10.7.5).
    In my script, Folder.selectDialog function was returning "file:///Users/alex/Apps/temp", when I selected the temp folder from the dialog box. I want the function to return "/Users/alex/Apps/temp". If I hardcode the path (as shown below), the javascript runs fine.
    // Select the source folder.
    //sourceFolder = Folder.selectDialog( 'Select the folder with Illustrator files', '~' );
    sourceFolder = Folder("/Users/alex/Apps/temp");

  • SharePoint link says "Page not found" when clicked from an e-mail

    I have a published page that opens if I copy and paste the link on the address bar but redirects to "Page not found" if clicked on directly. It works fine if I navigate through the website to the page but if I copy the url from the same page and
    e-mail it someone and they click on it, it takes them to the default page not found. I have checked every image and attached document on the page and all are approved/published.

    Can you copy the text of the URL that is present in the email as well as the URL itself when navigating to the page directly? My suspicion would be an encoding issue with the URL.

  • Font not found when opening file and not able to resolve, but is listed in the fonts drop down list?

    Hi, i just downloaded some files from a friend and he sent me a link to download the fonts. I did so and 98% of the fonts work, but there are two fonts i am struggling with.
    When i open the file i get the font missing warning and it asks me to resolve the fonts. I cannot find the appropriate font in the drop down list so i click 'don't resolve' and start to edit the file. i then come across some text that has missing fonts and i am able to highlight the text and change the text to the appropriate font using the type tool and the font I am looking for is in the drop down list.
    The fonts that aren't working are:
    Franchise Bold and BebasNeue
    The problem is there are multiple separate incidents where these fonts occur, and going through changing each one manually would take a lot of time.
    Is there something i can do to fix them all at once?
    Thanks,
    Harry

    I do not see either font  in the list you show.  I see Bebas Neue xxx but no Bebas Neue without any extra style. Try Bebas Neue at Download Bebas Neue Font - Thousands of fonts to download for free

  • "File path not found" when opening an Encore DVD project made 2 years ago

    Configuration:
    XP SP3, Encore DVD CS3 coming from Creative Suite.
    2Gb RAM, fast-enough-CPU, large-enough-harddisk (~70Gb space).
    The project, as I remember, should has been made with Encore DVD 2.0 2 years ago.
    The project file is placed on the C:\ with no invalid characters on the path or filename.
    The message prompts when I try to open the project file and after some loading(1 sec).
    I have been searching on the Internet for these problems on other people but there are no satisfactory solutions yet. Does anyone have the same issue?
    Thanks!

  • "Alias not found" when opening a non-alias folder with Spotlight

    Good morning everyone,
    I'm noticing a strange behaviour when browsing through the finder. When I go to a folder (for example, /Users/AeroCross/Dropbox) I have various subfolders. I press CmdShiftF (find by filename) to search for a folder (for example Dropbox/Work/Informs). When the folder "Today" appears in the serach results, I double-click it to enter, then this message appears: http://cl.ly/4wXm - notice that the folder "Informs" is NOT an alias (and there are no aliases around, neither, I don't use them).
    It happens with any subfolder folder I search with Spotlight. Can anyone reproduce this problem? Anyone has a solition or something?
    P.S: Fix alias does nothing. It just closes the dialog window and that's it. Either way, the error won't reproduce until a later time.

    Yeah, there were some problems with this earlier, pre-Snow, but now it is a constant problem, and a very strange one. As I recall, the earlier problem happened with all sorts of things, not just folders. AFAIK the easiest work-around is to select the folder, then at the bottom of the search window you'll see the path to the selected item. Double click the folder there and it should open just fine. Also, very weirdly indeed, if you double click the folder it actually DOES open, but the error box appears on top of it, and when you dismiss it the Finder window returns to its previous state, however if you go to the Finder Go menu item, and select "Recent Folders" the folder you just opened but couldn't access is listed! You can access it just fine from there.
    It happens with any subfolder folder I search with Spotlight.
    I have not been able to determine what "rule" determines which folders won't open. Some folders returned in a search window will open just fine, others in the same search results window don't. Also, once you have opened the folder thru other means (using the path at the bottom of the window, or the Recent Folders menu), it will then open directly from the search window with a double click.

  • Why does FCP error "File Not Found" when I try to open my sequences????

    I recently updated all of my software and the following day I started getting errors "file not found" when I would try to open a sequence. Now all of my sequences are being lost and I am losing time and money because I can't meet deadlines! This *****!!! With one sequence I had to reedit the entire thing from scratch and when I did for some reason the old one would then open. But the next time I opened FCP both sequences would error out. Following the "file not found" the computer responds with another error "error: out of memory" What the devil is going on with this crap?

    I seem to have figured out what my problem was. After trying to build the same project (that failed on the Mac Pro) on my laptop and encountering the same errors, I realized that the problem had to be with one or more of my assets and not my new version of FCP, since my PowerBook is running FCP 5.0.4 and my Mac Pro is running FCP 5.1.2.
    In my case the "corrupt" file was a Photoshop PSD file. In the past (FCP 4.5) I was able to use PSD files with hidden layers. I would merge the visible layers into one layer, keep the hidden layers and save the file. Once in FCP, I imported the PSD file and kept right on truckin'. I've done this for years. For some reason now with FCP 5.1.2 (and 5.0.4), that's not flying anymore. Once I "Flattened" the PSD file in Photoshop (deleting all of the hidden layers) I was able to build the project without any errors.
    Interestingly, the technique I used to figure out which file was "corrupt" also allowed me to salvage parts of some of my "lost" sequences. I saw this posted in a forum at Creative Cow (creativecow.net). Basically, I opened up the project, clicked the OK button after the File Not Found error, went into the Browser, right clicked on the offending sequence, selected "Make Offline". When I double clicked the sequence it opened in the timeline with all of my assets offline. Then in the timeline, one by one, I right clicked on each clip and selected "Reconnect Media". Once I linked up the media, if I didn't get an error message, I would save as a new project (to salvage what WAS working), and go to the next clip. I did this until I found the offending PSD files.
    I hope this helps. Now it's time to play "catch-up"

  • Problem opening files having linked .psd files

    Hi
    A client of mine is running windows xp 32 bit on an Intel Core 2 duo processor with 2 Gb RAM and Geforce 8400 PCI Express card. Recently He received  Illustrator CS3 files created on a MAC computer which has lots of linked .psd files. The illustrator files opens sometimes but most of the time it gives an error message " missing linked .psd files"  and it prompts to locate the .psd files. On relocating the .psd files, it opens sometimes but mostly it displays the error message that the linked files are corrupt. and the Illustrator closes by itself. On re booting the PC sometime the file opens but mostly it doesn't.
    I can't figure out the problem.
    Someone please help

    Yes the Photoshop files are opening in photoshop I even saved  a fresh copy of it but the error still keeps coming regularly. I even tried opening the files in a different PC but it gives the same error messages. I took the files to the PC it was originally created in and it works perfectly in the guy's MAC computer. I tried several times and it never displayed an error message. Whereas 8 out of ten times the file is not opening in any of my client's PC.
    Now if the files are corrupt then how cum they are opening sometimes in my client's PC and is always opening in the MAC it was originally created in.

  • Error oracle.sql.* and oracle.jdbc.driver.* not found when using oracle as a database

    I am using oracle as database and weblogic 4.5. I have copied the classes12.zip file in lib directory of weblogic. I am getting the error that oracle.sql.* and oracle.jdbc.driver.* not found when i am importing these packages in a jsp file. what i need to do to import oracle driver packages?I put it in the classpath also.
    Please Advice!
    Thanks in advance
    AnuPama

    Hi Anupama,
    First of all I would be surprised if you would not like to use the connection pooling feature of weblogic (in which case you might not be needing the import the classes directly), and would like to open direct connections to your database. Anyways for doing that I would recommend you to check out the readme doc that ships
    along with the jdbc oracle (classes12.zip etc). I am giving an excerpt over here:
    These are a few simple things that you should do in your JDBC program:
    1. Import the necessary JDBC classes in your programs that use JDBC.
    For example:
    import java.sql.*;
    import java.math.*;
    2. Register the Oracle driver before before calling other JDBC APIs.
    (This is not needed if you are using the JDBC Server-side Internal
    Driver because registration is done automatically in the server.)
    To register the Oracle driver, make sure the following statement
    is executed at least once in your Java session:
    DriverManager.registerDriver(
    new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
    3. Open a connection to the database with the getConnection call.
    Different connection URLs should be used for different JDBC
    drivers. The following examples demonstrate the different URLs.
    For the JDBC OCI8 Driver:
    Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
    "jdbc:oracle:oci8:@<database>",
    "scott", "tiger");
    where <database> is either an entry in tnsnames.ora or a SQL*net
    name-value pair.
    For the JDBC Thin Driver, or Server-side Thin Driver:
    Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
    "jdbc:oracle:thin:@<database>",
    "scott", "tiger");
    where <database> is either a string of the form
    <host>:<port>:<sid> or a SQL*net name-value pair.
    For the JDBC Server-side Internal Driver:
    Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
    "jdbc:oracle:kprb:");
    Note that the trailing ':' character is necessary. When you use
    the Server-side Internal Driver, you always connect to the
    database you are executing in. You can also do this:
    Connection conn
    = new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver().defaultConnection();
    Hope this helps,
    Thanks,

  • HT1923 did anyone get the apple application support was not found when trying to instal?

    I am having trouble instaling itunes.  has anyone got the apple application support was not found when trying to instal itunes?  it looks like it is not installing all of files to my computer and it can not reach a certain folder

    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
