Open Photos directly from server, edit, can't save back. Inconsistent.

Server is Dual 2.3ghz, with 6 gigs RAM, XRAID with Raid 5 for 2.5 TB. We have artists who are opening photos into Photoshop CS2, using Mac 10.4.4 clients on server that happens to be running 10.4.3 (plan to update it tonight). Edit the photos and do a "Save" or "Save As" and 75% of the time they get an error message saying "don't have right access." Now this user has write access based on the group. Permissions is Standard Behavior inherited by the group so we don't worry about Posix ownership problems when others drop in folders. The user can drag and drop and never have issue. It is only when saving. Now I know that Adobe doesn't support opening any file opened directly from a server on any of their products (ie. won't troubleshoot multiple network and or file services). This doesn't happen with any other app. 25% of time no problem. So it is Server or Photoshop?

Here is my two cents on this issue. It appears that Photoshop does some of its own permissions checking instead of just relying on the OS.
Here is the situation I see and how I make photoshop work right. I have ACLs set up on my share to allow access for the correct groups. When a file is created by a user, lets say 'joeuser' it gets created as such
-rw-r--r-- + 1 joeuser group 724482 Feb 12 16:20 file.psd
Notice that the posix group doesn't have write access. At this point if 'janeuser' tries to open and edit file.psd in Photoshop she will not be able to save, even though my ACLs give her write access.
Now if I run:
chmod g+w file.psd
Photoshop will allow janeuser to save that file as long as she is a member of 'group'.
The short version is that Photoshop seems to ignore ACLs, then tell you the file is locked.

How can I open an iPhoto photo directly from Photoshop Elements 6?

Hi...
I thought I read here in this forum how to open a photo that's in iPhoto ('09), directly from PSE 6. While in PSE 6, I go to File>Open>Photos(in Finder Sidebar)>then click on photo(s) in iPhoto and click on "Choose".
But when I do this, the "Choose" option remains grayed out! So I can't choose any photos directly from my iPhoto library.
What am I doing wrong, or is this just not possible to do? Or is there another way that doesn't involve first moving my photos out of iPhoto onto my desktop?
TIA, Deb

Thank you both for your responses! Unfortunately I realized I hadn't explained myself well enough and my question is still unanswered.
I do know how to set my Preferences in iPhoto to edit in an external editing software like PSE. But I like iPhoto '09 for editing so I don't want to do that.
What I use PSE 6 for is digital scrapbooking. So what I'm trying to do is figure out a way to get to my iPhoto library directly from PSE 6 while I'm working in it on a scrapbook layout.
I thought I could just go to File>Open>Media(Finder sidebar)>Photos>, which then opens my iPhoto library, and then from there choose my photos to bring into PSE. But the "Choose" button remains grayed out when I do this, even though I am in my iPhoto library and can click on photos.
I don't understand why? I've discussed this on message boards at digital scrapbooking websites, and none of the Mac users I've discussed this with, can figure it out either. We keep hoping there is an answer to this frustrating dilemma.
What we all do right now as a work around is choose our photos first from iPhoto and move them to the desktop before we even open PSE. Then we can find them easily. But we want to be able to navigate to iPhoto from within PSE and choose our photos that way. Possible??
Thanks again... Deb

Wanting to use Photoshop CS6 to open images directly from iPhoto 11.
Using OSX10.8.2 and iPhoto 11. Just installed Photoshop CS6 and want to open
images directly from iPhoto. Before I installed PS I was not able to edit photos
in iPhoto 11. Nothing happens when I click on ‘edit‘ it is blank.
And now it will not work using Photoshop CS6 either.
From Help Center I have gone to iPhoto/Preferences/ Advanced and chosen Photoshop CS6 to Edit Photos but then cannot find an 'Open' to click? Perhaps this is the problem?
When I select a photo in iPhoto and click the Edit button - nothing happens.
Please advise. Glenys

This may be of help to you:
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

Can't open files directly from file server (MAVERICKS)

since updating to Mavericks earlier today i have had the below problem
I use a file server at work to access all my work files. i have no problem accessing the servers but when i try and when I double click to open a file (excel, word, pdf, etc) it says "the application cant be found"
when Ihave the application open and i open the same file from within the application (file > open) it works fine. I just cannot open files directly from the file server by double clicking.
in previous versions there have been no problems with this,
any help would be great,

Same issue here; I hadn't related it to upgrading to the latest OS 10.9.2. I've shutdown and restared multiple times. I've also rebuilt permissions on my hard drive as I thought it was the Finder but files on my local HD open file. Off the server, I cannot double-click or even drag to the dock. Files open fine if I open the app first then browse to find the file.

How to edit files directly from server?

I'm new to dreamweaver (CS5) and I'm really lost when it comes to editing files directly in remote servers.
When you add a new site, you have to select a Local Site Folder. I dont mind that html editor saves auto backups to my computer, but I really dont want to download files from the server, edit them and upload them back to the server. In my work I always edit files directly over SFTP servers.
After spending time configuring DW, I can now connect to the remote server, edit a file and save it to the server (I know that really the files are automatically downloaded to my pc and sent back when saved). The only problem with this is that everytime I open a file from server, I get this annoying prompt "Do you wish to overwrite your local copy of [FILE]?"
How can I disable this for good, or is the dreamweaver just not the right tool to edit files directly from servers?

Again, if you are doing it the easy way, you don't download files from the server to edit them.
Always edit local files. Then upload them.
When you open Dreamweaver, your Files panel should be showing Local View, NOT Remote View. That way you are working with local files.
The way you're doing it here's what happens:
1. You doubleclick a file in the Files panel (Remote View)
2. Dreamweaver connects to your server and MUST download the file and related content (because the software IS NOT installed on the server and you CANNOT edit there)
3. When the file is downloaded, Dreamweaver asks if you wish to overwrite the local file because when you save it before putting the file back, your OS will not allow two files of the same name in the same location and the file MUST be saved before you can put it back.
4. You then put the file to the server, overwriting the original file.
All of that can be avoided by simply opening THE LOCAL FILE and editing it. Then you put it to the server, and overwrite the original with the edited file.
"What if someone else modifies a file on the server after I saved it, when I open and edit a local file, wont I just replace it when I upload it?"
If multiple people have access to the same files on the server, you NEED to have collaboration software so that when a change is made it can be saved by EVERYONE who has access to the site. Something like LiveCycle.
Without that your site will be a mess in no time because six different people (or more) will have six different copies of six different sites locally and they will all be working on it at the same time and it will end up like a Three Stooges movie where Larry, Curly and Moe are all cooking dinner and each adds the same ingredients at different times.

I updated iPhoto this morning. And now I can't email photos directly from iPhoto. Whats that all about?

I updated iPhoto this morning. And now I can't email photos directly from iPhoto. Whats that all about?

Which iPhoto version did you update to?
If it is iPhoto 9.6 open iPhoto's preferences, go to the Accounts pane and delete the email account.
Now quit iPhoto, relaunch, and add the account back.
You may have to restart the Mac for this to have effect.
If you are using iPhoto as Mail client, you may want to switch to Mail as the email client in iPhoto's General preference pane.
This has been much more reliable in the past and less trouble.

I can't email a photo directly from iPhoto. First, I only have two "themes" to choose from instead of 8, and when prompted to fill in the "to" and "from", the "from" box has "MobileMe" already in it, and I can't get rid of or change it. I have OSXLion

I understand, as that was the place I would change it before 8.3 but now that option of Mail Days to Sync is not available? Any idea why that would be?

Why can't I email photos directly from iPhoto, or even attach them to email?

I get a dotted frame outline with an exclamation
This is the source of all the problems. iPhoto can't mail the files because it cannot find them.
The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming it's 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

IPhoto 11 - when receiving photos sent from iPhoto 11- can't reply...

My friend sent me photos directly from her iPhoto 11. When I went to reply to her email with the photos, I hit reply, but I am unable to type anything in. When I went to click out of Mail, it froze and I had to force quit.
I called another friend who also uses iPhoto 11, and had her send photos from iPhoto 11, also, so I could see if it was just happening with one person. Turns out, the same thing happens.
I open the email with the photos that were sent to me directly from iPhoto 11, and, again, I am unable to reply, and then, my Mail program freezes and I have to force quit.
Is anyone else having this problem? Try sending yourself photos directly from iPhoto 11 and see what happens.
(FWIW, I have iPhoto '09 ). My friends don't do the forums so I figured I'd post and try to find out what's wrong with iPhoto 11 and if it's a known issue. (they are both using iMacs- Mountain Lion)
Thanks!

No, it is not my email program. This has been tested out on other computers, as well. I spoke to a lot of folks who have iPhoto 11 and they said they have been having issues with people who can't reply to their emails ONLY when they send photos using iPhoto.
These same people sent me photos as attachments, sans use of iPhoto and no problem. They also tested it by sending photos via iphoto to other friends as well, and, those people also can not reply to them, either, be it on a Mac or a PC, yet, when the photos are inluded as attachments or drag and dropped in, the emails are able to be replied to.
Thanks, though, but there's nothing wrong my my email program.
FWIW, they also sent themselves photos via iPhoto and had the same problem. It's iPhoto 11.

Error. your computer must be running a supported version of Microsoft Visio and a browser that supports opening files directly from Visio Web Access.

I have the following inside my SharePoint server 2013 :-
EnterPrise Wiki site collection.

i have disabled SharePoint foundation support for office 2013
Can anyone advice on this please?

Hi,
Please try to reset the Internet Explorer settings or open Internet Explorer in In-Private browsing and then check if this issue occurs.
If the issue persists, please try to access SharePoint in another computer with Office 2013 and then check if this issue occurs. Or repair Office and restart your server.
Here is a blog about the same issue for you to take a look at:

Mobile Me was my default email account, so if I did any emailing like trying to send a photo directly from iphoto it would send from the mobile me address. Is there a way to set a different default email account now that mobile me is gone?

We used Mobile Me for our default email. So if you answered an ad from a site or tried to send a photo directly from iphoto, it would use the mobile me account. Now that its gone, can I set a different address as my default?

WEll, MobileMe has been moved & still works in iCloud.
Did you setrup an iCloud account?
Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
MAKE A NEW ACCOUNT - DO NOT TRY TO ALTER YOUR EXISTING ACCOUNT.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
• Server name: imap.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 993
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
• Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 587
• SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to http://appleid.apple.com then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.

Open photo directly in Bridge ... ?

Hi,
is there a chance to open photos directly in bridge? If I double click a JPEg, its always opened in Photoshop (or I can choose another application, but not brisge). Has Brdige the opporunity to view a photo directly in fullscreen? I do not wnat to edit it or something like this - just browse the photos in a fullscreen like way.
Thanks

Bridge is an image management aid. It is not able to open files, other than in another application.
You can preview files at large size though. Make sure you have the Preview Panel open.
Experiment with the different workspaces.
I cannot be more specific because you don't say what version you have.

If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop ("CS5" won't do for instance; we would need CS5 vers 12.0.2 or whatever) and of Bridge, machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, video card specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.
A screen shot could be very helpful too.
