ODD new issue opening files from another network machine

okay, my setup is kind of convaluted, but this is what I have: I made the switch to Mac last year, and do all of my processing on my Macbook Pro. It has CS5 on it.
Because I havent been able to print properly from it (an alleged driver issue, wherein my images print with a 1/4" offset), I still print from a networked Windows Vista machine in the office--and because I hated the print dialogs in CS3 & CS4, I actually still print from PS CS2
(I know, probably seems senseless, but it works best for me). Life has been peachy.
Now for the issue:
Suddenly, as of today, PS on the Windows machine wont open any jpg or psd on the Mac. If I copy/move it to the Windows desktop, it opens just fine. I either get a message saying it's "the wrong type of file," or--more bizarre, when I double click a file to open, I actually get the dialog box you get when you hit ctrl-N for a new document... and this happens the same in CS2, 3, & 4. Any clue as to what the heck I've got going on?
thanks!

This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
See:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

No.
I find it extremely frustrating that Apple does not care for such an obvious bug affecting one of the basic funcionalities of AirPlay. Unless, of course, if there's something I don't know - but I've done some research and it seems that plenty of people have same issue and no solution is settled.

Issue opening files from Network Share

We have a new windows 7 PC x64 with Illustrator CS6, when we open a file from our server share, it only utilises 25% of the available network bandwidth to open the file.
On an older XP 32 bit machine it utilises the full bandwidth ie 100% so the file opens up to 6 times faster.
When I copy the file from the network to either machine machine it copies fine and uses 99% of the network speed.
What can I do to my new machine to speed the transfer of data in illustrator?

General advise on working directly on a server using Illustrator: Don't

Issue opening files.

Hi,
I've recently been having issues opening files from clients where I get a message telling me the file was created in a newer version of Adobe - this has occurred with both my InDesign CS6 and Illustrator CS6. I have made sure the software is updated but the issue keeps coming up, can anybody offer any advice?

Probably created in Adobe Creative Cloud.
You can get a trial of Creative Cloud that will last 30 days - and see if you can open the files from there.
It's always best to work on the same version of InDesign as the file was created in.

Word Crashes when trying to open file from network

This is a very similar issue like this thread
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sv-FI/officeitpro/thread/95bc7898-e92d-4e47-8f73-390dba53e851 I cannot open any document from any network share, mapped drive or network place- Word Immediately crashes saying "Microsoft Word has stopped working",
tries to find a solution and then closes. This can be caused by any means of access the file- directly double clicking from explorer or using the Open command in word, it even crashes when using the Open command, and then just clicking once on a
mapped drive or Network header.
I can however copy any file from the network to the local machine and it opens fine. I have tried (With no change in symptoms):
Safe mode (word), remove & recreate normal templates, repair office, uninstall-reinstall office, updated all updates, disabled offline files, removed protected view settings, trusted network documents, disabled auto-save, virus scans (SEP, Malwarebytes,
TDSSKiller), system restore to 2 weeks ago- prior to when user said issued started, reinstalled & updated again after restore, and many other things I can't think of right now.
I have tried to run procmon.exe from sysinternals but get a message saying that "c:\windows\system32\fltlib.dll is either not designed to run on windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again......"
I tried the instruction on the linked topic above to create a dump file, but no file was created.
This is only happening on one workstation on the network. Win7Pro, x64, Office 2010 Standard.
I am at my wits end, and need some help!

I have replaced the fltlib.dll file and am now able to run procmon, I also have run sfc /scannow which says it found corrupt files but was not able to repair them. When trying to view the files that need to be fixed it says that sfcdetails.txt cannot be
opened. If I run the same command with out the destination of desktop/sfcdetails.txt, then it displays the files in the cmd window, but there are what to appear to be hunderds of files.
I have both logs (procmon & sfc) but they only make partial sense to me. And I still cannot open office files from a network location.

Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my address book after importing the files from my Power mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my Address Book after importing the files from my Power Mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

For your addressbook, export the files to vCard on the PowerMac, then bring them over to your Mac Pro. For your iPhoto, copy the Users -> yourname -> Pictures folder to your Desktop on the Mac Pro, and open iPhoto on the Mac Pro holding the command and option keys. Select the library file from that Pictures folder and open it. It should import all the pictures into iPhoto as part of the rebuild process.

Excel 2013 won't open file from network location

I have recently installed Office 2013 on several computers. Excel will not open a file from a network location. It opens the application but never opens the actual file. I have tried Word and it works okay from the same network location. If the users open
Excel first and then use the Open menu option to navigate to their network file it opens fine. I have tried several options listed in previous postings but have not found anything that works for me. I have checked the event log but nothing of note is there
because Excel does open it just never opens the file. Thanks.

Did you get any error message when you try to open excel file from the network location?
Not sure what methods you have already tried. So Firstly I would suggest you check if the option 'ignore other applications...' already unchecked (File->Options->Advanced) . And then add this network location to trusted location .
In addition, you can try to disable the OFV add-in by using a registry setting to test this issue .Refer to the article below to get the detailed steps:

Excel 2007 ribbon freezes when opening (double clicking) a file from a network share

So unlike other post I have found when double clicking an excel file from a network share the ribbon is frozen. If I start excel from the start menu then open the file through recent documents browse to the file from within excel the ribbon is active.
Also, the preview pane is not active so it is not that issue.

Hello- I am having the same issue with a client in my office. Minimizing then bringing it back up fixes the problem but it is still a hassle. Have you found out anything else? Thanks - Erik

Office applications crash when opening files from network

Using Office 365 32-bit on Win7 Pro PC. When I try to open a file from a network drive, Word, Excel and Powerpoint (that's all I've tried thus far) crash and restart. I can open the same file from local without issue. Using the FixIt tool
removes everything and then I have to go through an entire reinstall and hoping I can avoid that time sink. Adobe Add-ins disabled. Safe mode did not solve this for any of the applications.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Hi,
Please check the event logs after the issue occurs:
Press Win + R, type "eventvwr" in the blank box, press Enter.

How do I copy my old xl files from my XP machine to operate on xl for Mac on my new iMac. When I copy them onto a stick and transfer them it automatically makes them xls files which are then corrupted when I try to open them in xl for mac

How do I copy my old xl files from my XP machine to operate on xl for Mac on my new iMac. When I copy them onto a stick and transfer them it automatically makes them xls files which are then corrupted when I try to open them in xl for mac

Sorry, yes this is Microsoft Excel. The Microsoft XP has Excel files denoted as xl, the later versions of Microsoft Excel are denoted as xls files. The later verions of Microsoft Excel open the xl files OK, does Excel for Mac not able to do this?

How to open Adobe Reader file from another native IOS application?

There is an existing thread, but I want to re-open it because I think this is an important feature that we need badly. I was wondering if there is any plan to add this feature so we can open PDFs directly into Adobe from the web / other apps.
How to open Adobe Reader file from another native IOS application?
Basically, we just want to use a custom URL scheme to open a specific document in the App. Currently, this only opens the app but does not load the file.
APB

Not to hijack the conversation but I can explain why this would be useful for both the above case and another.
What I believe Pavel is talking about is setting up a "URL Scheme" for the Adobe Acrobat iOS application so that you can easily open a PDF specifically in Adobe Acrobat iOS from other native applications and even from web applications opened within Safari. This is particularly useful if your application requires some of the specific features in Adobe Reader iOS to grant them the best experience possible and you want to encourage this.
Another case: If you're using Adobe Livecycle's document security modules (that encrypts PDF files so that Adobe Acrobat must "phone home" to decrypt and view the document), these PDF's can only be viewed inside the Adobe Acrobat application and appear as blank in most other PDF readers. Having a URL scheme allows your application utilising this functionality to have a 1 click step to view the PDF rather than the current non-user friendly process:
- Within Safari, touch the PDF link (appears as blank in the default Safari PDF reader, which in itself is confusing)
- Touch "Open in..."
- Touch "Adobe Acrobat"
We have an immediate need for this functionality for the example above. I can resubmit it in a separate post if necessary.

Illustrator cs6 "this file cannot be found" problem when open file from network

I used to install the trial version of Illustrator CC on my desktop and then when the trial run out I decide to go with illustrator CS6 instead, So I decide to buy &
install Illustrator CS6 on our desktop and everything seem to be fine except
the problem is our .ai file is located on the network shared drive of the design team,
When we try to open the file from the network drive with illustrator CS6, it said "This file cannot be found"
- we try to copy the file from network drive to our desktop and file can open without problem
- if we directly double click the file from the network drive to launch the illustrator CS6 with that file. It's also fine, no problem at all.
- but if we open the illustrator CS6 first and try open.. and then browse to that file on network, then "This file cannot be found" happen again.
- Illustrator CS6 have no problem open file in the local harddisk.
- Illustrator CC never have this problem open file in our network drive, try reinstall the Illustrator CC trial again and it can open without problem
- I try using Adobe CC Cleaner tool to remove everything before reinstall the Illustrator CS6, still no luck.
- Try remove the Adobe relate folder in user/user/Appdata and then reinstall, still no luck
- Try right click and open with --> Illustrator CS6 , yes if we double click the file directly it's ok, but as mentioned if we open illustrator first then browse for the file, the problem happen.

In Photoshop CS5 I have updated my raw-update that was suggested by my updatebutton in my photoshop. But I still can not open my new camera srw-files from my samsung nx300.

In Photoshop CS5 I have updated my raw-update that was suggested by my updatebutton in my photoshop. But I still can not open my new camera srw-files from my samsung nx300.

You cannot open Raw files from the Samsung NX300 in CS5.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
You need Adobe Camera Raw 7.4 or later which is only compatible with CS6 or later.
Some choices:
Upgrade to CS6
Join the Cloud
Join the CCPP
Free option: download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all Raw files from the NX300 to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5

Ftp to mac from another network

Hi
I own an iMac running 10.4.8. I have enabled ftp access in the System Preferences.
Is it possible to access my Mac via ftp from another network?
What would I use for the Host Name instead of ftp://computername.home? Surely this would only work for computers on the same network...
Thanks for any help, this is really bugging me.

alright Im back. First a Small note. You may consider what other users offer as alternatives, depending on what it is that your trying to do. You also need to know that Any time to activate tools like FTP, your computer opens Ports to the Internet, which act like a Bug lamp to hackers scripts. Your computer is certain to be subject to attacks. Be sure to TURN off Web-Sharing or FTP when you dont need them. Or configure your Firewall for constant use.
This is going to be Long... You may want to Print it.
That said, lets get started.
we will go from the point where in I will assume you currently have Normal Internet access. I will also assume that your internet is like mine, where the IP address rotates at intervals.
First thing you need: Static Address
since your ISP rotates your IP address, others will only be able to see you at that address until the Next rotation. This is a Dynamic address. What you want is Static IP. However your ISP, probably wants lots of $$$ up front to turn of the rotation for you... So then to get around this, for now anyway. You will need to sign up with a provider of Static addresses. It to is a scam, but it works so one need not ask to many questions. I personally use no-ip.com but there are many other providers, mostly free, no strings attached. A couple sites have been already suggested above take your pick.
Once you have settled on a provider you like, and hopefully has a decent User side Application! Register with them, and Follow their instructions. Choose something simple as your Unique web name appendage (like making a Profile nickname for a login). The address they give you, in full, is your computers base address. You can try it in your browser but it will probably time out.
You will now need to install the Software which should have also downloaded by now, and enter your registration info. The application now identifies your current IP address, and contacts the Home Server which is a massive Name Server. Now when some one on the outside enters that address, it goes to your IP providers Name Server. The name server knows your current IP from the program you installed. The visitor is passed along to your machine, without knowing the difference.
Now then, you need something to send out to the web! Built in to OSX are both a simple FTP utility, as well as Apache Server. You can Turn them on and Off from the Sharing Control panel.
As a Test you can now Turn on, Web-Sharing. Now enter your new address into your browser. You should get a Apache server page. This is the default installation on your computer. If you see this everything is working.
If you dont see the Apache page try again in about 5 mins. The server may not have updated the IP yet.
If it still fails, check the providers Application you installed. Check your settings. Mine are set to "Remote IP retrieved from Server."
If it still fails you may have a setup issue in the Router. But thats a topic for another reply.
Assuming that your Apache page came up. You can turn off Web-Sharing in Sharing. Your test is over. Your live! But wait, this isn't over.
Each user has their own append that the file system automatically handles. Its your user name preceded by a "~" or "/~username" Understand? You will need to add this appendage to your web address in order for others to see your "Personal" FTP or HTML. Otherwise they all end up at your default folders, the Apache folder. The servers config defined Root.
Your address should look something like this:
http://trevsComp.no-ip.info/ (base)
http://trevsComp.no-ip.info/~trevtherev (user directory)
for FTP, you will need to replace the HTTP, with FTP
if you dont, it wont work.
ftp://trevsComp.no-ip.info/~trevtherev (user FTP)
To test your FTP connection enable the FTP in the Sharing Control. Then enter the Full address including your user name into your browser. If your in Safari, OSX will take over and a Drive Icon will pop up on your desktop! Its a Read/Download only, but perfect you simple downloads.
For more complicated downloads you may want a Real FTP application to actually login and have Read/Write access. But like others said, your passwords are sent unencrypted as TEXT and any one can intercept them.
If you dont Disable your FTP between uses.
Your going to need Protection.
there is a File on your Drive called "ftpusers" I insist that you add your user name on this list. This Locks your name out of the FTP. This way No one can ever login with that user name. Why? Your the admin! its a huge risk!
Save the File and touch nothing Else in the Directory, that is unless your using Terminal to change the File. This is an Expert tip meaning if you found the Directory, dont tinker unless you know what your doing.
Now create a New user! Make sure that this user is Dumb. Meaning they have no access to any settings or other OS functions. You can put your Files in this users FTP folder, and enjoy far more safety. However, you will probably need to set up the Application you installed in your account, to be on this new one as well. So the new user may need Admin abilities only until your set up. Turn them off before enabling FTP.
You dont have to be logged in to the Dummy account for others to access it from FTP. It will still work. Be sure they have the Correct address. Remember the users name dictates where a Visitor will end up!
