'Open Recent File' doesn't work

Hi, I've just started a new job, and I'm on a PC with CS6. (I'm used to Mac, CS5)
I can't seem to get 'open recent file' to work in any of my CS6 programes It is always greyed out and never remembers what I've last done.
Does it have something to do with the files being stored on a passworded server?
Thanks!
-Kim

Ha! I would if I had an I.T department to start with!
I know absoutely nothing about PCs or Windows. We are a small business of 3 staff with no I.T department at all. The boss' husband put in the computers and he doesn't know anything about it or about CS. Boo.
Any pointers of how to fix it myself? Thanks

  • Open Recent Files doesn't work

    Most of the time I get the following message on files with .indd extension. I am in CS2. The message is Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission or the file is in use by another application. Well, I am the only user, I closed the file ten minutes ago and it is available if I go to the File/Open menu and then find it on my hard drive.

    Try replacing your preferences. I'd use the long method of backing up the InDesign Defaults and InDesign SavedData files in your user profile, rather than the three key startup routine.
    A new set of prefs will remove any customizations, and the recent files list, but it usually clears up this sort of problem. To make your life easier, go to the preset "define" dialogs and select any custom presets you've created, then save them to a file on the hard drive before doing the prefs replacement, then you can go back and select "load" to restore them.
    If replacing the prefs solves your problem, make a backup copy of your new set (the two files mentioned above) after restoring any customizations and you will be able to copy the backup set back into your profile if you need this fix in the future. If replacement doesn't help, restore the old prefs you backed up.

  • Open Recent menu doesn't work

    No matter how many projects I work on, the "Open Recent" menu is always blank.
    Same in the Project Browser.
    Is it limited (deliberately) to only files that have been saved in the official apple-sanctioned folder?
    I ask as the .motn files I save in my own folder musername/projectfiles/motion

    As I already explained, if some documents where opened from external devices, it appears that they remain in the list of recent items but can't be open.
    If you mount the original device the files will open flawlessly.
    It's at least the way it behaves here.

  • Adding a default program to open a file doesn't work

    After upgrading Adobe Photoshop cs3 to cs5, I select a jpeg image file and select "open with", looking for the application.  Not there, so I browse to find the application (CS5) and select it.  It does not add the application to the "open
    with" choices.  I was able to add Adobe Bridge to the choices.  Adobe support worked with me several times and says the problem is with the W7 account permissions.  Any ideas on this?  W7 Professional 64 bit 

    Hi,
    In order to change the default program, you need to know the file type. For example, .mp3 or .wav, or .docx.
    Instead of going to "set your default programs" , go to "associate a file type or protocol with a program. Click on the file extension and just click change program.
    If that does not work, this problem maybe due to the fact that the program has not registered itself on installation. A program typically registers itself on installation by means of a new entry in the system registry. It is possible to manually include
    registry entries provided you know what and where.

  • Read From Binary File doesn´t work on MCB2400 in LV2009 Embedded ARM

    Hello,
    I try to read a Binary File from SD-Card on my MCB2400 Board with LV2009 Embedded for ARM.
    But the output is always 0, if I use my VI on the MCB2400. If use the same VI on the PC it works fine with the same binary file.
    The
    access to the SD-Card on the MCB2400 works in other cases finde, if I
    try to read from a text-file it works without any problems.
    Are thre any constraints for the "Read From Binary File"-Node in Embedded in comparison to the same node on PC ?
      I have noticed that there is also a problem
    with the reading of textfiles. If the sice of the file is about 100Byte
    it doesn´t work anymore, too. I can´t understand it, because I read
    always just one Byte. And even if the implementation in Labview is so
    bad that it allways reads the total file in the ram it sould work. The
    MCB2400 has 32MegaByte RAM, so 100Byte or even a few MegaByte should
    work.
    But this doesn´t seem to be the Problem for the Binary-Problem. Because even a 50byte Binary-File doesn´t work.
    bye & thanks

    Hello,
    thank you for your Help.
    But I just want to read a Binary File, which is build by another program. And this is coded with 8Bit (like a normal Binary File) and not just with 7Bit (ASCII). So the workaround doesn't work in my case.
    I posted the Test-VI in my first post (here once again as picture). And it works fine on the PC, but if I try it on my MCB2400 the "Read Form Binary File" Node doesn't work.
    And it is also possible to open the Bin file with the "Read Text File" Node and see the cryptic content of the Bin-File. So the Problem seems to be in the "Read Form Binary File" Node.
    bye & thanks again

  • Delete files in Open Recent Files list - CS3

    Is it possible to delete single files in the "Open Recent Files" list
    or specify how many recently opened files are be shown?
    I am using CS3 (5.0.3).
    Thanks

    No and no, although Adobe themself doesn't seem to have any problems with this -- every single update kills the list (to my chagrin).
    Can't imagine any bona fide reason you'd want to. It's not like it's meant as sort of kind of Document organizing feature, as if.

  • Show full file name in File Open Recent Files menu.

    I would like to be able to see the full file name in the File > Open Recent Files menu. With long file names, I cannot differentiate between the file I want to edit and the series of images I exported - they all look the same when truncated. (Mac)

    I'm working in CS6 on Windows and wondering exactly the same thing. I usually export PDFs or JPGs of current work using the same or very similar names for tracking purposes but trying to open recent files then becomes a game of trying to figure out which of the various identically-truncated file names actually corresponds to the file I want to reopen.
    Is there a way to get Illustrator to display the FULL file name in the Open Recent Files menu?

  • Adobe Reader X freezes when I try to open recent files

    When I try to open recent files, Adobe Reader X will freeze up and will stay that way until I restart the computer. Even logging off won't work. I recently left it alone for around 5-10 minutes and Windows finally did end up stopping the process, but this is not normal. Any ideas for a fix?

    Nope. That didn't do it. It won't even let me end the process AcroRd32.exe. I confirmed that after around 10 minutes, it finally closed on it's own. I just also confirmed that it's a problem with accessing files on my network, not local files. The odd thing is that I can use the Open tool, go the folder and open that file fine, but when I try to open the same file under the recent files, it freezes up. This may have to do with the fact that this is a mapped network drive. Any fix would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • 'Open Recent' files list

    The 'Open Recent' files list is too short.
    Is there a way to make it longer, e.g. for 25 or 50 files?
    Thanks!

    I'm not sure that it's a good idea but it's your wish so here is the soluce:
    set nbRecents to 30
    do shell script "defaults write com.apple.iWork.Pages NSRecentDocumentsLimit " & nbRecents
    If you want the same behavior in Numbers, use:
    set nbRecents to 30
    do shell script "defaults write com.apple.iWork.Numbers NSRecentDocumentsLimit " & nbRecents
    In fact we may use that for every application with a Recent Items menu.
    I got it in a thread dedicated to the behavior of Script Editor.

  • JSP referencinc taglib.tld in JAR file doesn't work.

    I have some custom tags which work fine under Weblogic 5.1 when I do a
              normal deployment of files, including the taglib.tld. However, when I
              try to reference the taglib.tld located in a JAR file, then weblogic
              throws an error saying that it cannot resolve into a valid tag library.
              I am only doing this because I am testing the same site agains both
              iPlanet Web Server and Weblogic. iPlanet will only find the taglib.tld
              when it is in a JAR file.
              Can anyone shed some light on referencing the taglib.tld in a JAR file.
              This should work, as it is covered in the JSP 1.1 specification.
              FYI - the jar file is in the same location as the JSP which references
              it. The URI to the JAR file (in the JSP) is from the root of the site.
              Thanks for any help.

    Subject: My Applet Jar file doesn't work !! .
    1) Note that one '!' denotes exclamation, whereas 2 or more often denotes a dweeb.
    2) Since you are on your first post, I will point out that applets are an advanced topic, and should not be attempted by newbies.
    3) "doesn't work" is very vague. It is likely to produce a reply like "maybe the applet is lazy - try flogging it".

    ..I have written this java applet :When posting code, code snippets, HTML/XML or input/output, please use the code tags. The code tags help retain the formatting and indentation of the sample. To use the code tags, select the sample and click the CODE button.
    Also note that the most preferred form of code is an SSCCE *(<- link).* In an SSCCE, your would remove all but one button (if the actionPerformed fails with 6 or 7 buttons, trim it down to fail with just one or two.
    i made a jar file :So does the applet work before you make the Jar file? Your post so far suggests the Jar file is the problem.
    i created a file and named it MANIFEST.MF .i wrote inside it :
    Main-Class: test
    Then i placed it in a folder with the test.class .I created jar file using command line.
    I entered the test.class path and then wrote this command :
    jar cvfm myjar.jar MANIFEST.MF *.class
    Then the jar file "myjar.jar" is created .
    it's executed but this function "public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) " won't wrok.
    i keep pressing the buttons but nothing is happening !!So you get 'no output in the console & no effect in the applet'?
    What is the URL where I can see your applet failing?
    As an aside, since Sun does not guarantee that applet clients will act on the showDocument command, even if it does not work, it would not be a 'bug'.

  • "open recent file" menu item - 2 issues / aspects (Mac & Windows)

    regarding the  "open recent file" menu item in the File menu.
    1)   should have a way to "clear recent items".  Most software solves this by appending an item "Clear Recent Items" to the bottom of the list of aliases that springs forth from the menu.
    2) Further, in the preferences it should be able to be set to 0 to prevent the function entirely, not just natural #s 1-99.  This is the case in Windows Adobe REader, and on the Mac it was the case the last time I was able to check, but due to the bugs in 9.1.x regarding the ability to handle a case-sensitive file system I haven't been able to even open the preferences on the mac for a while.

    Michael:
    Thanks for your quick reply.
    Please note that this issue:  "open recent file" menu item that is not clearable, nor is the system preference able to be set to retain 0 files,
    has absolutely nothing to do with the file system issue.  It is just a design choice (or oversight or bug depending on your point of view).
    It is an issue of security/privacy to not have the Reader keep a list of recently viewed files, or to at least allow the user to clear the list.
    Thanks again for your time, interest, and speedy reply.
    Cheers!
