Metadata cannot be edited for In Design file

I have one In Design file where the metadata can not be edited in Bridge. It is the only In Design file with this problem. All others are fine. The file thumbnail shows the In Design logo only, but all other In Design thumbnails show the preview. I can open the file in In Design and modify the File Info, but am unable to view this information in Bridge. What could be the problem with this particular file? Note: The folder containing the In Design files resides on another non-Version Cue server. Thank you.

Contact the software manufacturer and ask for their assistance.

ITunes music files cannot be edited, and new music files imported. The messages says I do not have enough access privileges even though I am the administrator of the system.

Since installing the latest version of iTunes all my music files cannot be edited, and I cannot import new music files into iTunes. The messages says I do not have enough access privileges even though I am the administrator of the system. If anyone can help me sort this out I would be really grateful. I have checked the read and write privileges for all the iTunes folders and it all seems in order so I can't understand it.
In general, I am getting really frustrated with Apple. They seem to be getting ever more controlling in their approach to their consumers. I need to edit music file information as I am a dj. And why can't I import music, unless I buy it from iTunes? Most of all, why can't I use the devices I paid a lot of money for in the way I want to use them, and not be forced to coerced to use apple's fee paying services (iCloud, iTunes).
I have used apple computers since the early 1990's, but in the last year I have gotten rid of my iPhone and my iPad and replaced them with Android devices. Much better and much less control. Perhaps it is time to switch from Apple altogether.

Edit previous lifecycle designer file, now on mac

I made a interactive PDf in lifecycle designer a couple of years ago when I was on PC, now i am exclusively mac and they want me to update the file. I am only updating the logo and small print, not the interactivity.
How on earth do I do this without recreating from scratch?
Thanks for any help!!
See link for file: http://maddesignusa.com/test/UniversalWorksheetChooser10_09.pdf

You will have to revise it in LiveCycle Designer if you don't want to bother switching over to using Acrobat.
It look like you just have fields on the first page that are used for navigation (apart from the other buttons), so this would be easy to duplicate in Acrobat.

Original file cannot be found for most music files, w/large external drive

Hello.
I am getting the error message "original file cannot be found" most times that I play a song in iTunes 6, though I am always able to locate the music file in my iTunes Music Folder. This is infuriating!
My music collection is large -- 90.08 GB, and is on an external FireWire drive.
Can somebody help me?

mgallope,
welcome to Discussions.
Everytime you turn your ext hd off, iTunes reverts your library to its original location, which is within your mac HD.
In order to locate the music files, turn your ext hd on, plug it into your mac and wait it be recognized in Finder. After that, open iTunes Preferences>Advanced and change the location of your library from the original location to the new one. Wait until iTunes reorganizes the library and try playing any song.
Unfortunately, you´ll have to do this every time you shut your ext hd off.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Paulo

CS5 crashes for certain PSd files

Hi All,
We are running CS5 packages at my office, my machine runs design premium. Windows 7 professional 64 bit here, about a week ago i had to access a psd for a design and it crashed, i duplicated it on another machine and i was then able to open it on mine. The next day, crashed again opening either of the files, so i searched the web for some answers. i updated my video drivers and photoshop to the latest update which is 12.0.3 i believe. no dice, then i monitored event viewer for the crash and found the bib.dll file was faulty in the crash, did some research on that and found some print issues, sometimes i print to adobe pdf, and because it was not physically printing, there were errors with the "printer" in the device panel, cleared the print que and ps worked again with the files. fast forward to today, all those same design files are crashing again when i try to open them. i have cleared my preferences and removed every font on my system that was installed past the windows install. had another user install the same font for this design file and open, and it works fine for them, here are my crash reports from event viewer

i would appreciate any assistance in the matter, as time is of the essence in this situation. thanks in advance.

Another possibility is that you've acquired a bad font, that's crashing the font handling subsystems.
Finding this can be a matter of going through the fonts in the Windows\Fonts folder and systematically removing them until Photoshop works again. Sometimes you can just activate the Type tool and expand the Font list, looking for an abrupt end to the list or faulty appearance of a font.
I imagine Adobe would be very interested to hear what specific font can crash their software like this when you find it.

Editing XMP metadata in Bridge for checked-out files?

Our custom connector does not implement the WRITE_XMP_METADATA Capability because we do not want to change the XMP of a file in our DAM system without checking in a new file version.
However, when a file is checked out through Adobe Drive, we would expect to be able to edit its XMP metadata in Bridge just like we can for local files.
It looks like this is still not possible with Adobe Drive 3, i.e. if your connector does not implement the WRITE_XMP_METADATA Capability you cannot edit XMP for checked out files either.
It seems weird that you can edit XMP metadata for checked out files with regular CS applications but not with Bridge. Is this something that is expected to be fixed in a future version?
Thanks

In our design, editing XMP data in Bridge and in regular CS applications is different, the former one will be routed to SetXMPHandler in you connector, in the latter case, CS applications take the normal file writting ways to embed XMP data in the file content.
The purpose of this design is to offer similar user experience for normal users when they edit XMP data for AD assets and local file assets, they don't need to check-out files first.
To address your issue, I think you can add some codes in SetXMPHandler to auto check-out files before real XMP operation, and check-in them before exiting the handler
We will consider to make some enhancements for this part, that's, to allow editng XMP data for the checked-out files in Br, in the next release, thanks for this advice.

App.Xaml cannot be edited in design view(Visual Studio 2012 for Window Store).

App.Xaml cannot be edited in design view(Visual Studio 2012 for Window Store).

The
Simple Application Walkthrough specifically instructs one to edit App.xaml (because it previously had you inject a defect by changing the name of the file StartupUri property points to). So that is the scenario, or one of them. I assume it is 'valid'
to rename MainWindow.xaml to whatever you want it to be.
So there should be some way in the IDE to fix this (short of changing the file name back to match StartupUri). What is it?
Like another person here, I just edited it with a text editor and reloaded it into VS. But...

I transferred a pages file from ipad to mac (also pages) via email for editing. However received message that cannot save edited document to the mac because "trial period has expired for iwork"! I have purchased pages for both machines separately. Ideas?

I transferred a pages file from ipad to mac (also pages) via email for editing. It opened normally. However, after editing, received message that cannot save edited document to the mac because "trial period has expired for iwork"! I have purchased pages for both machines separately and presumed they would work without a hitch. Am I missing something?

It used to be that to update the trial to the licensed version with the box, you just inserted the DVD & ran the installer to convert the trial to licensed. This changed with Snow Leopard. You now need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

Steve,
I appreciate your answer. While it might work, I'm a bit hesitant to remove the other programs as a possible solution since they are all currently working.
With Acrobat 9 Pro failing with the OS 10.7 upgrade, I'm hoping that there is a less severe solution.
Since the trigger appears to be 10.7 and may have something to do with the discontinued support of Rosetta, I could be spending a few hours working on a reinstall without a change. Yes, it might work. The "might" is the part that makes me hesitate.
Is anyone else out there on OS 10.7 and running Acrobat 9 Pro? Any issues with anyone else?
Thanks Steve. I do appreciate your offering a solution. I may end up trying it if nothing else comes together.

Need advise on preparing .ai files for print house for labels design

Greetings!
I just got a freelance job to do label design for commercial products (cleaning, food products, etc).
Its a huge task as the company have lots of products in the market and they decided to drop the design
company that were doing the labels for them and hire me to be the main designer.
Since my main work with Illustrator and Photoshop is been for Web Design and screen graphics,
I am not sure how to use Illustrator CS5 the best way for preparing the final files to send to a print house
according to European or US norms, I would like to have some help from other users that maybe are experience with this kind of job.
My main concerns for now are:
1. Should I send .ai or .eps?
2. Pantones or CMYK ? And how to create the artboards that show the measures of the labels and the pantone colors palette
    (I have seen examples on some prints that have show me ), but have no idea if Illlustrator already have a template/tools for that.
3. About the size of the labels, if its a straight shape, like a square, you make the artboard on that size and just put some bleed,
    but since most products labels come in many shapes, how do you work around it?
   Since the artboard can´t have the same shape as the labels , will the white background being print?
4. When using effects like highlights, reflections, especially in Titles, how do you create the pantones for that ?
Hoping to have some help from the community here, you can send me some links, tuts,
everything that can help me to understand all this kind of process, I will be much appreciate.
Thanks!

Some of the following (but not all) repeats, but elaborates on or clarifies what others have said.
First, though: While I certainly don't mean to discourage you, you will be far better off getting started if you realize this:
Designing for commercial-quality print is a hugely different world from designing for the web. You are now dealing with characteristics and limitations of real-world, physical machines, inks, substrates, and many-step workflows. The most tragic (and potentially disasterous) error web-only designers (and their clients) make is naively thinking that moving from web design to print design is a simple lateral move involving nothing more than a few quick answers to a bullet list of questions (CMYK vs. spot, etc., etc.) If you fall into that camp, you are asking for serious and costly trouble.
A user forum like this is a very poor place to educate yourself. Forums like this are populated by more beginners than experts, many of whom are far too eager to post answers. More often than otherwise, answers are--if not downright wrong--not best-practice.
You need to gain a working knowledge of the printing processes with which you wll be dealing. Take a class at the local tech school. Visit the printing houses (and don't carry a designer's chip on your shoulder). Look for any opportunity to get your fingers dirty; offer to do some grunt-work in a press room to gain exposure. Read authoritative books on the subject.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
f1. Should I send .ai or .eps?
Nowadays, PDF is the preferred delivery format for whole documents. If the printing house is placing the artwork in a program that cannot place PDF as a spot graphic, it is conceivable that they may need EPS. Depends on the printing house's workflow. In print work, you need to communicate with the printing house--and you need to learn to speak their language.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
2. Pantones or CMYK ?
Don't say "Pantones." Pantone is a company. Say "spot color." Pantone makes both process and spot inks. Pantone is not the only source for spot color. Your question is "spot color or CMYK process." The answer depends on the specific project.
Labels may involve CMYK process, spot colors, or a combination of the two. You can't just add colors to your design willy-nilly. You have to plan and design for it. It depends on the printing budget, the printing capabilitites of the printing house, the printing method, and even the design (which may affect the substrate, which may not be suitable for process).
When designing for print, don't think in terms of colors. Always think in terms of inks, because that's what you're really dealing with. Each time you add an ink, you add a workflow process, and therefore cost. As soon as you add a number of inks in the design that exceeds the number of inkwells on the press on which it will be run, you have just necessitated another press pass.
Labels also commonly involve clear or translucent inks (varnishes), liquid lamination (flood or spot), metallic inks, and/or foils. Each of those count as an additional ink or even a different work process. Sometimes certain inks require drying time after previously-laid inks, which also affects costs.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
And how to create the artboards that show the measures of the labels and the pantone colors palette
Again, best practice depends on the printing house and its workflow. For example, it can be a no-brainer labor (i.e.; money) savings to gang multiple instances of a label design onto a design page (Artboard) set up to the size of the press sheet.
It can be advantageous to draw die cuts on a separate Layer, also ganged to match the artwork layout. Same may apply to foils, varnishes, and embosses. It's often advantageous to draw trim and fold marks in the bleed area of the page layout. It's often advantageous to add registration marks in a press-sheet layout.
Again, best-practice depends on the project--but the economical and turn-around advantages can be significant.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
(I have seen examples on some prints that have show me ), but have no idea if Illlustrator already have a template/tools for that.
Whenever you catch yourself thinking "I have no idea if Illustrator..."--read the instructions.
Most graphics programs (including Illustrator) provide options for including basic "printer marks" (trim and registration marks, separation labels) outboard of the page size. That doesn't mean it isn't often advantageous to add your own. For example, the auto printer marks setting will only add one set of trim marks for the whole page. That's pretty useless in a multi-up layout, which is quite common in label design.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
...but since most products labels come in many shapes, how do you work around it?
Pages (Artboards in Illustrator) are rectangular. One typically provides die cuts (and/or varnishes, foils, embosses, etc., etc.) as elements drawn accurately on a Layer dedicated to the purpose.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
Since the artboard can´t have the are same shape as the labels , will the white background being print?
There is no "background." This is an object-based program. Where there is no object, there is nothing. By default, even white fills don't mean "white ink"; they mean "no ink." (Remember, think inks, not colors.)
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
4. When using effects like highlights, reflections, especially in Titles, how do you create the pantones for that ?
Illustrator is primarily a vector based drawing program. Vector graphics are by nature and even by definition sharp edged. When vector programs try to provide "soft & fuzzy" features, they do it in either of two ways: either by programmatically creating additional vector paths and parameters (blends, grads, mesh grads), or by resorting to creation of non-vector "effects" (raster images). Whether such features correctly handle spot colors depends on the feature, and even on the version of the program.
So whenever working with spot color--in any program--you have to stay consciously aware of what you are actually doing (what kind of objects you are creating) when you apply such features. That's why it does no good in a user forum to speak of nebuous designerly terms like "highlights" when you ask technical questions. In order to get a correct answer, you ultimately have to state the kind of objects you are dealing with (and feature, and version, etc.).
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
1. PDF?? I only use .pdf to show the client the designs before approval but never as final file...also I have heard from some many places that if the print house needs to open the file on a different design program the best is to send them .eps
PDF is a delivery format. As such, it is very versatile. Design comps is only one of its many uses. But PDF is not meant to be an editable format. When you deliver a PDF that was created by Illustrator and which is fully editable on the receiving end, you are really embedding in the file a full second version of the file as native AI content. Whether this AI-native content is included is controlled by you when you export the PDF.
Editing PDFs that do not have the AI-native content embedded can be very cumbersome and problematic. Again: PDF is a delivery format, not an editing format. Ideally, the printing house should not have to edit your press-ready files. It is supposed to be up to you to build them correctly. That should be your goal.
I expressly forbid printing houses from editing my delivery files. If an edit is needed, it comes back to me, and I make the edits. If a printing house chooses to edit one of my files without permission--and a problem result--they eat it; not me.
Yes, yes, if print-side minor editing (like the afore-mentioned ingredients boilerplate scenario) is part of the established workflow, that's fine; its assumedly been agreed upon as the cost-efficient workflow. But generally speaking, the kind of designer who routinely relies upon the printing house as a "safety measure" to fix his files is...well...exactly the kind of designer I would not hire.
By the way: Hearing something "from many places" (especially in online user forums) in this business is no indication of correctness or best-practice. Quite often, the most-cited advice is the bad advice. Case-in-point: The ever-cited myth that everything for print should be rasterized to 300 ppi. 300 ppi is usually needless oversampling. This is especially true in reference to mere raster effects like those controlled by Illustrator's Document Raster Effects Resolution setting. 300 ppi is almost never needed for the most common uses of such effects: blurry drop shadows, glows, etc., etc. "Fuzzy" is the very purpose of those effects. All you have to concern yourself about is the potential for visible pixelation, which is directly tied to halftone ruling.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
...what I was mention is to be able create like a table where you list the pantones use, same time to put measures guides on the artboard itself, is this possible to do in illustrator?
Again, separation names are included in the Printer Marks option of the Print Dialog. See the documentation. Depending upon your delivery format and workflow, the printing house may not even use Illustrator's printer marks; they may use those in one of their prepress programs.
But you should always check the seps before sending a press-ready file. You can do this in AI's print dialog, or in Acrobat Pro. Regardless, it's your job to make sure the project color-separates correctly. It is very common to "finish" a job thinking you have been very careful and everything is right. It is just as common to preview the seps and find an object on the wrong separation plate, or knocking out something it shouldn't, or overprinting something it should knock out.
(There's also the whole matter of trapping, which this thread has yet to mention.)
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
...imagine I have a label that is a star with 200x200 px, and the artboard is white background with 300x300px,
I will add (with as much force as I can muster) my admonition to that which has already been given: when talking about actual, physical measure, forget about the web. Forget about Photoshop's rulers. Forget about pixels. A pixel is not a unit of measure. If you think it is, tell me: How big, in inches, is a pixel? I might as well ask you "how high is up?"
If you tell a printing house that the trim size of your document is 600 by 1200 pixels, he will (and should) laugh at you.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
if I print the artboard on my laser printer I get the label with the background also, so how does the print house manage to
not have the background of the artboard when they print?
If you print the artboard on your laser printer, you do not "get the background." Think about it: Do you have any white toner in your laser printer? (Think inks, not colors.)
All the above is offered in a spirit of helpfulness (and some tongue-in-cheek jest). Take it as such. Bottom line, though--and this is not meant to be the least bit insulting--unless the company you have just contracted with is a small mom & pop shop and/or has very basic labeling projects, it really sounds as if you are already in well over your head. I am certainly not saying any of this is rocket science. It isn't. A dedicated person can learn its ins-and-outs in relatively short time if that time is well spent. But an online user forum is a very error-prone, incomplete, inefficient, and therefore poor way to learn it. It doesn't sound like you have that much time to waste.

I've recently purchaced a 4TB Thunderbolt drive to store my "vast" music and photo libraries. iPhoto had an issue reading the moved library, so I bought and used iPhoto Library Manager to "rebuild" it.

PDF documents that cannot be edited in Reader for IOS

Hello,
I've been trying to edit (highlight and add comments) a PDF document on my iPad, but the app is not cooperating with me.
I was able to edit it with Adobe Reader on my PC, but the same file cannot be edited with the ios app. I tried some other pdfs with the app, and in some, the editing options would work, but in others, they would not.
Is there any way that I can modify a pdf when it behaves this way, so that it will let me edit it on my iPad?
Thanks!

aboutrainbows,
Thank you for sharing the PDF document.
I took a look at the PDF document and found out that this problem occurs with certain types of PDF documents (but not all PDF documents). Only text markup annotations (Highlight, Strikeout, and Underline) are affected by the defect in Adobe Reader for iOS.
The good news is that we already have a fix for it. The fix will be verified by our Quality Engineering team and included in a future release of Adobe Reader for iOS. Unfortunately, I am not able to provide the release date for Adobe Reader for iOS.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Please let us know if you have further questions.

I am running InDesign CS5.5 and trying to open an In Design File but getting an error message. " Cannot open the file "PDavidLCover.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file

I am running InDesign CS5.5 and trying to open an In Design File but getting an error message. " Cannot open the file "PDavidLCover.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file me be open in another application."Please help I really need to get this file open.

Since you've shown us the folder contents it's a good bet it isn't in use (no lock file). And it doesn't look like the file is mis-named as there doesn't seem to be anything else there that would be the .indd file (but just in case, open it in TextEdit and paste the first few lines here so we can see what the file header says), so the most likely case is the file is damaged. Is that on a removable device of some sort?
You can try the tool at Repair corrupt InDesign Adobe files on Mac OS X or send me a link to the file by private message and I'll try the recovery tool I have for Windows.
