Problem updating file

Hi --
I have a .dir file that was created around 2003. I need to re-create it as a Flash file, so I downloaded a copy of Director 11.5. When I try to open the file, I get a window to upgrade the file. After I select the backup location, I get an error message like this: "Problem writing file 'filename'. Having trouble saving this movie."
Is there anything I can do to get around this? I don't want to edit the file, just look to see what I need to do to create it.
Thanks for any help!

There were a lot of changes made in D11 & D11.5 which might be causing the errors when converting files older than version DMX2004... but, you can download a full install of the trial version of MX2004 here:

Problems updating files attached to template

Ok, I am having a problem and have now pulled out all my hair
out trying to figure this one out therefore here I am!
I am having trouble updating my website files (which are all
attached to a template). The "show log" window tells me that 7
files were examined but zero were updated. The thing is that this
trouble only started this afternoon. Everything was working fine
yesterday and this morning. What it is that I am missing here?
Help?

Here are five ways to make changes not propagate from
Template to child -
1. Rename the Templates folder
2. Move the Templates folder to some other folder level in
the site other
than root level
3. Move a template out of the Templates folder.
4. Make changes to an editable region of the template (which
will not
propagate)
5. Corrupt the site cache so that the link between template
and child page
is broken
The latter problem can be repaired by using SITE | Advanced
> Recreate Site
Cache, and the four others can be fixed by just not doing
them. Have you
done any of those?

Unable to download from AppStore, updates,etc.Messages 'the installer is damaged' to 'there might be a problem with file ownership and permissions.' I am the owner and only user of a new MBP. What could be going on?

Is anyone having the same type of problems I'm having with Lion. I have a new MacBook Pro, received 7 weeks ago, preinstalled with Leopard 10.6.7. I didn't migrate anything from my old iMac, wanted a clean install from the Apple Store. While there, I asked for the upgrade to Lion 10.7, however their system was down.
I installed it myself, wirelessly about a week later, and Apple emailed me a receipt. Now, I've had to call support directly last week when I lost Mail, Address Book, was unable to open Preview or iTunes, among other problems. Seemed fixed after a session that baffled even the store tech. Now I am unable to download or install the recent Mac updates for Lion, from the App Store, could not install Adobe Reader, etc. Messages range from 'A network error has occured - Check your Internet connection and try again' to 'The Installer is damaged and cannot open the package. There may be a problem with file ownership or permissions.' All fail and I'll probably have to call Apple again. I am frustrated beyond words. Logs 'Install's runner tool is not properly configured as a setuid tool', domain errors, 'attempt to write a readonly database, and on and on. I have barely done a thing on this computer except search online for help with these problems. Safari gives me a 'You are not connected to the internet' too often. Diagnostics disagrees. I do see wi-fi problems in the forum. Disk and permissions were fine at the beginning of the earlier problems, checked first by support tech. I'm not sure if support tech even knew. I was just happy they were fixed. Anyone have these download and/or install problems after a 'clean bill of health' so to speak, only a week ago?

Let's try the following user tip with that one:

Problem in updating files in BPM

Hi ,
I have a question where I need to append two files and send them as one file at the receiver by using a coorelation.
Lets Say we have two files -File A and File B both in delete mode .Both are required to be appended and sent as one file ,say AB on the basis of a correlation on a unique value .(e.g division number ).
Acc to the project requirement ,After sending a file A ,If once again a new file of A (e.g A(1)) is updated before the second file B reaches the BPM ; We should append the latest file( A(1) ) with B ,and send it across the receiver .(In this case the result file should become A(1)B ).To achive this we are using a container operation in assign mode and hoping that every new message of same type is overwritten.
But everytime we are updating the file A it opens a new instance of BPM although the coorelation Id is same .
When we send file B with that coorelation ID as of file A,it closes both the instances and creates two file , AB and A(1)B.
We wish that the BPM discards the old file(A) and uses the updated file( A(1) ) in the same instance and puts it on the receiver .
I would like to know if XI behaves in this way only or we are missing something .
Thanks and Regards ,
Neha.

Hi,
Why do you need 300 sequence files for 300 requirements??? You can keep each requirement in a seperate sequence in a single/multiple sequence files.
With regards to reading your variables, you can read from a file through activeX or easier still, doing it through a code module (say a LabVIEW VI or CVI module).

System Information Update File Problem

Hi everyone,
I just installed a developer version of CF8 in my local
machine. And I also decided to install "kb403622 — ColdFusion
8.0.1: Cumulative Hot Fix 1" hotfix. So I went to System
Information section, click the Browse Server button beside the
Update File text field and I got an error message saying "Server
Error IO error on server commnication".
Can anyone help me with this error?
Thanks in advance.

That, oh-so-helpful, error indicates that you do not have RDS
enabled on
that server. Unfortunately RDS is required for any of the
file browse
controls in the ColdFusion administrator, but it is highly
*NOT*
recommended to have RDS enabled on production servers.
So your two choices are to enable RDS and utilize the browse
feature.
OR
To manually type the full path name in,but have a more secure

ITunes says updating files on my iPod, but podcasts do not show up.

I have an iPod Classic 80g. It is set to manually manage files and disk use is enabled. Recently I had to reformat my PC and reinstall the OS and other programs. Prior to this I was able to click and drag the video podcast I subscribe to directly to my iPod. Now, after the reformat, when I drag the new podcasts to my iPod, iTunes says its updating files my files, but when its finished there are no files added to my iPod. When I try to add it again, it no longer says it's updating, but still nothing happens. I have checked in all available folders incase it was adding to the wrong place, but it is nowhere to be found except fot being temporarily in the recently added folded. All other media types like movies and music import without a problem to my iPod.
Please help.

I found this answer on http://forums.ilounge.com/archive/index.php/t-197870.html
I tried it and it worked. I am not tech savy, but I am in the process of downloading all of the other shows this way. Once I entered in the url in the "sync podcasts", it then allowed me to place all of the newly downloaded podcasts under podcasts. I played around for a while, so not sure I can walk you through it, but it will work.
Once I had synced the podcast, I went into podcast, dbl clicked on the original subscribed podcast show, that brought up the other shows and I downloaded them, one by one. Am trying a mass download, but cannot seem to do that.
Hope this helps.

Yeah, you have to subscribe to a podcast and select "Sync podcasts" for it to show up under "Podcasts" on the iPod. Even podcasts downloaded through iTunes won't show up here if you don't subscribe/sync but just put them in a playlist.

There was a problem updating InDesign CC For more information see the specific error below. Update Failed Download error. Press Retry to try again or contact customer support.(49)

Posted the entire text from the error window, when trying to update, using the normal NON-TECHIE way to update any and all Adobe CC products, via the Creative Cloud updater installed when Adobe Creative Cloud subscription was purchased when first offered.
The following occurs, ad nauseam:
There was a problem updating InDesign CC
For more information see the specific error below.
Update Failed
Download error. Press Retry to try again or contact customer support.(49)
Here's the crux of my frustration:
(1) Customer Service is NOT contact-able, to receive LIVE help.
(2) There is NO way for me to mitigate this "Download error", being a student learning InDesign, and NOT in any way capable of tweaking folders/files here and there.
Therefore, the real question:
Given that a significant number of subscribers are having the above referenced issue with attempting to download the current update for InDesign, WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO, in order to get our contractually paid-for updates to our legally and contractually paid-for Adobe software, specifically in my case, InDesgin's current update?
Please, NO TECHNICAL mumbo-jumbo which most likely will cause the overwhelming majority of users, like me, to seriously corrupt their computer files, but rather an honest, straightforward "what to do" from real CS/Engineers working for Adobe, as to how to FIX this issue, period.
===========================================================
UPDATE:
Here is a way in which I think I was able to "update" my InDesign CC application:
(1) Sign-In to your Adobe Account
https://www.adobe.com/
(2) Click on the MENU icon
(3) Click on the product InDesign icon
Your browser should display the page for Adobe InDesign CC
https://www.adobe.com/products/indesign.html?promoid=KLXLU
(4) Click on the Download icon,
Your browser should now display the page to download InDesign,
https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/indesign
(5) a Pop-Up window should open, and display:
Launch Application
This link needs to be opened with an application.
with the first option to select being the CreativeCloud(URIHandler)
(5) Select this application and click OK.
What happened when I followed steps (1) thorugh (5) is that:
(a) InDesign CC(2014) was installed,
(b) InDesign CC, updated, and then
(c) InDesign CC(2014), also updated.
Why this all worked, is a mystery to me.
Looks like a separate, "new" version of InDesign, InDesign CC(2014), was installed, the existing "old" InDesign was updated, and then the newly installed Indesign CC(2014) was further updated.
A BIT MORE, when I launched my InDesign CC app, and checked to see if there were Updates Available, there in fact was an Adobe InDesign CC 64 bit (9.2.2) update.
I clicked on UPDATE and my "old" InDesign CC app was "successfully updated."
FURTHER INFO: I may have neglected to list some important info ... OS: Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center, 64-bit
Confused, I am able to launch BOTH of these apps, and hopefully I may use one of these versions of the InDesign CC app, to do some InDesign work.
Will keep y'all posted!

ITunes 10.5 won't update files properly on my iPod Touch 4G running iOS 5, how can I fix this?

I recently updated iTunes to 10.5 and my iPod Touch 4G to iOS 5, but now when I try to edit the ID3 tags or artwork of songs on my
iPod using iTunes, iTunes just says "Preparing to update files" but it never actually updates them. When I try to add songs
manually to iPod (my iPod is not set up to sync music with iTunes [see note below]), the same thing happens, with the newly added
songs appearing on the iPod library but are grayed out with a still loading icon next to them. Also, in some instances when I try
to change the artwork of all the songs on an album, it grays out the songs I tried to change, puts an exclamation mark by them,
and applies those changes to other songs on my iPod! And if I delete the songs I attempted to change it deletes the songs that
were received the artwork change. The songs that were unintentionally changed somehow got overwritten by the songs I was trying to
change while retaining the original tags of the songs that were changed. Not sure if I'm explaining this clearly so let me give an
example: song A is a song on an album on my iPod, song B is on song on a completely different album on the iPod. When I change the
artwork on song A, it somehow messes up my library and song A overwrites song B, but it keeps all of song B's ID3 tags. So I don't
know song B is song A until I play song B, at which point the ID3 tags are changed to the tags of the song A, and song B is just
disappears. This only started happening after updating to iTunes 10.5 and iOS 5. Not sure if the problem is caused by iTunes 10.5
or iOS 5, but I did search online and found someone with the exact same problem effecting their iTunes 9.1 (no iPod involved).
Can someone please tell me why this is happening and how I can fix it?
Note:
I add songs manually to iPod because I don't keep my music on my PC and sync my music with iTunes because it would take up too
much space and I want to be able to add songs on my iPod from other computers. Once you set it up to sync music I believe it
disables making any changes to your iPod with iTunes on other computers.

okay, I don't know about the rest, but about the songs never actually loading onto your iPod, I found in another discussion how to fix that. I'm using Windows 7, so I don't know if the steps are the same, but the end result is the same. So go into your Start menu, then into accessories, right click 'Command Prompt' and click 'Run as administrator'. Then type in the following: netsh winsock reset then press Enter. After a few seconds it should tell you to to restart your computer for changes to take effect. Restart your computer, then restart iTunes, then everything should be working fine. It still takes forever sometimes to update the iPod, but eventually it will work. I've had to do this multiple times, so I'd suggest copying & pasting this solution into a notepad or Word document and saving it on your computer, so you don't have to go through the discussions again to find it. This tends to happen to me nearly every day unfortunately Hope this fixes that problem, but I'm not having any of the other problems fortunately, except for removing the artwork of the songs it updates without me asking it too. PS I think my problem may be with iOS 5, because iTunes 10.5 came out before iOS 5, and I think everything was fine before I updated my iPod, but I really don't know where the problem lies

Windows XP won't install drivers - "UPDATE" file missing

I have installed Windows XP SP2 successfully ( it was a bumpy road ) and have reached the step where I'm supposed to use a Leopard disc to install the necessary drivers for using Windows with the MacBook hardware (video, speakers, etc). When I insert the Leopard disc a window appears saying that the setup.exe file on the disc is newer than something or other, so I click OKAY ( the Boot Camp instructions say to agree to any windows at this point ). The window goes away, and another one immediately opens saying " the necessary UPDATE file is missing". I click OKAY and the window closes. The End. No driver installation. I can use XP, but there is no sound. Windows Movie Maker won't even launch because it says the audio components are not available. This is probably because the drivers weren't installed. I imagine there will be many other problems.... Anyone have this solution???

Here is a correction to my post. The window says: "This package requires a newer version of Windows Installer. Do you want to update the version of the Windows Installer on your system?" ( I click yes and the window goes away). The second window says: "The required resource 'Update' is missing". ( I click yes and the window goes away ).
I think maybe XP is trying to download something from the internet and maybe it can't since I probably need the drivers to do that....?

I am having problems updating my itunes to the latest version, on each stage I am getting a message 'The feature you are trying to use in on a network resource that is unavailable.' I try to click OK it fails and I do not know an alternate path to select, please help?
I get message like below on each stage of the update, Quicktime, Safari & iTunes;
It's so annoying as until I update my iTunes account my phone won't sync.

Many thanks for the screenshot. (The key to these is knowing which particular .msi file is being mentioned by the message.)
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
(Assuming that the QuickTime and Safari messages were also citing bonjour64.msi, you should also then be good to go with those installs too.)

FM 10 xref format changes when updating file

I'm authoring in structured FM 10 using a DITA 1.2 application on Windows 7, but working with FM documents rather than XML files. I was having problems updating cross-references in my existing (structured FM 7.2) files after upgrading to FM 10 -- FM was changing all xref formats to DITA Default Format, which blew away all of my defined formats. So I opened one of the standard structured templates included with FM 10 (DITA_1.2/app/technicalContent/template/topic.template.fm), thinking that I set up my structured application incorrectly.
I know I must be missing something simple, but this is what happens when I create and update a cross-reference:
Using the unmodified structured template and the unmodified DITA 1.2 application that comes with FM 10, add an fm-xref element.
Using the DITA-Cross-Reference dialog box, create the xref (doesn't matter if it's an internal or external xref).
Select See_Title_and_Page xref format. Xref looks fine in the source document.
Select Edit > Update Reference, and select All Cross-References.
When I click Update, FM updates the xref but changes the xref format to DITA Default Format. I can see that the See_Title_and_Page format included in the template uses the <$paratext> building block instead of <$elemtext>, but I can't delete or modify this format and I can't create a new xref format, either, since the DITA Cross-Reference dialog box doesn't give me those options.
However, if I create a new FM book and add this file to it, and then select Edit > Update Book, and select All Cross-References, FM updates the xref and maintains the xref format I chose.
So, why does updating a file remove the selected formats from all xrefs and replace them with DITA Default Format, while updating a book does what I'd expect (and what FM has always done)? And why can't I modify an xref format using the template/DITA 1.2 application that comes with FM10?
Thanks for any assistance.
--Steve

Hi Saurabh,
Thanks for the reply. I guess it's reassuring to know that the automatic reformatting of xrefs by FM isn't due to something I've overlooked. As long as there's a workaround, I'll keep updating xrefs from a book. Not a great workflow, but it won't block our writing for now.
On the other issue: Thanks, I do know how to edit xref formats and import them from a template. My confusion, however, stems from two things:
I can't edit xref formats in the DITA Cross-Reference dialog box, which is all you see if you're using the DITA 1.2 template that ships with FM 10. I can edit the formats from the Cross-Reference dialog box, but I can't figure out how to access that when using Adobe's template. Adding a new xref or selected an existing one just activates the DITA dialog box, which doesn't have an Edit Format option (shouldn't it? wouldn't you want to be able to edit those formats? or do you always have to do that from one of the application files?).
The DITA Default Format won't go away. In my own docs (DITA 1.1 FM files), I can get to the Cross-Reference dialog box and edit xref formats. If I delete the DITA Default Format, save the file, close it, and then reopen it, the unwanted DITA Default Format is back. I can reapply the formats and element defintitions from the template as much as I like, but any time the file is reopened the deleted format reappears. It won't die, and I have no idea where it's coming from (definitely not the template or the EDD, which I've checked and reimported). Is this some odd default behavior of ditafm_app.dll?
Again, thanks for responding.

Problem Saving Files CS5

After years of no problems I am suddenly having a problem saving files. This started with CS4 a few months ago, and has continued with CS5.
When I attempt to Save As... I get an error message:
Could not save as "{location & filename}" because the file is already in use or was left open by another application.
The only place the file could be considered "in use" or "left open" would be due to Bridge.
I get this error message whether saving as jpg, psd or any other file type. If I retry saving the file then it will usually save properly after several attempts. But if I close Bridge then it will save the first time every time. I get the same error whether saving as the original file name or with a new name.
I have been using Bridge to preview and select the images I want to edit for a very long time. But this problem didn't start showing up until a short time ago, so I wonder about a problem introduced with an update?? Those who use Bridge know that it remains running in the background while the image is processed through Camera RAW and PS. There has never been a reason to close Bridge when working in PS and it is not very convenient to do so just to save a file.
If anyone has a solution to this I would like to hear about it.
Thanks,

Hi Jimcarke,
My problem is very similar. Just Upgraded to CS5 from CS4.
Graphic files, no problem. I can save 80Mb and 30 layered mixed graphic files, even after editing.
No JPEG's in the stack though. Perhaps I'll have a look at that!
With simple JPEG's at 1.9mb, after editing, then as soon as I enter 'Save As,' Bingo the great blank screen'
Problem seems worse if I get as far as rotating the image, then everything disappears instantly.
Customer services have suggested all the usual remedies and now I can't open a file or edit anything
I'm back to the insufficient RAM issue.
I've just 'given up' and back to CS4 again and will try to get some work done for the morning.
All good fun and an interesting way to spend a very sunny Sunday afternoon. (GB)
Regards
John

Updating files crash - no more information, but need to know what file causes it

Hello everyone!
I'm not sure where exactly to look for an answer, so here is what happens.
My version is RoboHelp 9.0.1.262.
Documentation department writes help, then it is translated and then I need to compile translated online help. I take translated folders and files (*.htm, *.hhc, and *.hhk) and drop them in an English project. I then open RH, open the project, verify that I see translated files by randomly clicking around. Then I attempt to generate target which is WebHelp. Under Content Categories I change language to correct target and click on Save and Generate. RH goes on with its normal procedure:
- starting compilation
- clearing output folder
- preparing to create WebHelp
- preparing files for WebHelp
- Copying file
- Updating files
And this is where it crashes.
I know why it crashes - most likely translators have not added or messed up some tags. What I want to know is where exactly it happens, i.e. what file. If I know the first file or list of files, I can fix them. I just don't know a way how to get a list of such files, or at least the first file. Please help. One may suggest to go back to translators and ask them to make sure all tags are there - this is being done continuously. The problem is that application is so huge (I mean it - huge), that fixes must come from all sides. Please help.
Thanks a lot,
Yuri

Hi there
Likely you need to use the "divide and conquer" approach. Make a copy of the project. Delete half the topics from the copy and try compiling. You work your way through deleting and compiling until you isolate the problem topic(s).
Another approach would involve taking the good copy, then adding perhaps five topics at a time and compiling until you isolate the culprit(s).
Cheers... Rick
