Problem with idlk files not closing

I am running InDesign CS6, version 8 on a MacBook Pro. The MacBook is running OS X 10.8.3.
When I close files, the .idlk files stay open. Then I have trouble reopening them. InDesign thinks that another user is modifying the file.
So, I cannot save files, nor can I reopen them, InDesign thinks the file is open by someone else when in fact no one is.
If I restart, the idlk files are cleared out.
I am completely stumped by this. I have tried uninstalling then reinstalling the application with no luck.

I have found lock files still open days after closing a file.
This is a new computer and I have had problems with ID since switching to it from my old iMac. I am also experiencing another problem. Occasionally when I print a file, ID crashes. Once it crashes I cannot get it to open again until i reboot. Otherwishe it crashes immediately upon trying to start the program. Very frustrating. I have never had a problem with ID before this new laptop and I've been using it heavily on a daily basis for 12 years. I am in the process of updating 9 books and I am stopped in my tracks by this issue.

How do I fix a problem with .eps files not showing up properly in icon view

Actually my .eps files are not showing properly in any of the views but icon view is most important to me. I am using OSX.8.5 on a mac mini and mac book air. Almost all of my .eps files are conversions of .wmf files converted to .eps by WMF Converter software. All of these files used to be on a PC running windows Vista using ST Thumbnails explorer to be able to view thumbnails. For background info: I had to use a program to view the WMF files becasue hackers could put viruses into the thumbnail for WMF fies so instead of fixing the problem Microsoft disabled the thumbnail view for all WMF files.
A few of my .eps files are conversions of files created in CorelDraw 3x and converted to .eps in CorelDraw 3x. Both types of .eps files misbehave the same.
I downloaded one .eps file today from the internet to see if it would misbehave the same way (it does).
Here is the problem: After a reboot when I first view a folder that contains .eps files in icon view I can see the file contents fine. If I use the resize slider at the bottom of the window or resize the window itself then some or all of my .eps files revert to displaying the "generic icon" of a Loupe with a picture behind it. If i can manage to put the resize slider to exactly where it was then my icons display the file contents as they did before I messed with the slider. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to when an icon will display as the file contents or when the generic icon comes up. In some folders all the icons display correctly at the smallest icon size and in other folders the icons may display correctly or as only generic or a mix of generic and file contents. Icons to files that came from the same source will not necessarily display the same way. Icons to files that came from the same source and were converted by WMF Converter at the same minute do not necessarily display the same way. If I display "info" for the files sometimes the previev pane of the info box will display the generic icon or sometimes it will show the file contents. If I take an .eps icon that displays properly and drop it into a folder where all .eps icons are displayed as generic then that icon displays generic. When I move that same icon out of that folder then it will display properly. Icon view, list view, column view and cover flow view all display differently with no discernable pattern. Sometimes I can see file contents in column view and not icon view. Sometimes in cover flow and not in icon view. It makes no difference if I have a handful of .eps files in a folder or hundereds of files in a folder. After an undetermined amount of time the icons might display properly again or maybe not.
What I have done so far: exhaustive search of the internet did not find anyone else with the same issue. I checked and fixed all disk permission errors that disk utilities would fix. I know that icon view and quick look are two different things, but, I did however, download and install an eps quicklook plugin that did not seem to make a difference for my issue. BTW Quick look sometimes works and sometimes not (no discernable pattern to this behavior either). I tried the cnet download fix for quicklook just for grins. It had me force QL to reload plugins and it's cache then I cleared out the QL configuration files. This did not seem to make a difference in the behavior of icon view or Quicklook. The only two things I have found to be consistant are 1) The "open with preview" always works but I know this is different because this preview actually generates a pdf view of the file. 2) When the icon does display the file contents it always displays correctly.
When you read this please be mindful of: I am a Microsoft refugee not yet familiar with the Apple world so you may have to tell me how to do "simple" things. I have no idea what is the difference between a "thumbnail" or a "preview" or the behind the scenes way that apple generates the icon appearance for the 4 different views.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I tried to insert a screen shot but got an error message when I did it.

Was the error number really 0XE8....

Problem with Airdisk: files not copying

This is a strange one: I copy large movie files (several hundred of MB) over to my Airdisk, the progress bar goes through the whole process - but the files do not show up afterwards. No error msg, they just aren't there. This happens in about 50 percent of the cases. When I repeat the copying, I don't get the warning that the file is already there, and most of the times it works on the second try, sometimes on the third.
It might be a general OS problem, but I'm posting this here because I haven't encountered that phenomenon in my 20-year Mac experience, so I have the suspicion that it has to do with the Airdisk.

Anyone?

Problem with .wav files not being able to play on CD players

What am I doing wrong? I took some .wav recordings, loaded them into iTunes, then transferred to a CD-R. The files from the CD-R would play on both Mac and PC computers, but not on any CD players. When loading the files, they automatically went into iTunes. Should I have somehow put them into Garage Band - would that even make a difference? I thought maybe my discs were bad/wrong, so purchased Music CD-R and have the same problem.
Please, can someone help? Thanks!

Although WAV files have the same audio coding as an audio CD, a disc full of WAV files does not act like an audio CD; it lacks the indexing and ToC needed in order for a "regular" CD player to play it. As Diane notes, put your WAV files in an iTunes playlist and burn it as an *audio CD.*

Photoshop 11 problem with all files not able to display

I recently purchased PS Elements 11. Somehow my photos trippled and in some cases more. I have spent hour deleting triplicate photos and cleaning up folders, tags and pictures. It has been a mess. Yesterday I was working on a Tag and clicked something, not sure what. Now I can only view 1 photo out of around 10,000. alll of the folders and Tags say no media displayed when I click them. The all media shows only one photo. I looked in my recycle bin and the photos are not in there. Any questions or suggestions out there? As you may imagine my frustration level is high!

This is the photoshop forum try the PSE forum at http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements
If on windows OS open up Window Explorer and see what is happening. What you are saying does not make sense. Would avoid deleting stuff until you figure out what is going on.

Problem with .sitx files (Safari but not Firefox???)

Hi All,
I have a website online (with help from iWeb and BBEdit) but am having a problem I cant figure out (this IS my first website!)
I am hoping that someone much more knowledgeable than me can help me with it.
I basically have a download section. Icons and desktops.
Now, when I (or anyone else) tries to download- everything seems to be fine in FireFox (even IE!) but not in Safari.
My desktops are compressed as .zip files. No problems there, everyone can download and open (including Safari users!)
My icons are compressed as .sitx files. This is where the problems come in. Firefox and IE download them no problem ('save to disk?' etc) However when one attempts to download the icons (.sitx files) with Safari it simply displays pages of gibberish (starting with the word 'Stuffit') which I am presuming is Safari trying to 'display' the contents of the actual stuffit file.
Why is this? Why wont safari simply download the .sitx files as it does .zip files?
Does Safari have some sort of inherent problem with .sitx files? Is it some sort of configuration within Safari preferences? or (and probably most likely!) is it something I have done wrong?
Oh, my website (page in question!) can be found here:
http://aoimedia.co.uk/news/news.html
Thanks in advance for all your valuable help
Kind regards

Hi,
It sounds like the server the website/file is hosted on is not identifying the type correctly. As you've seen, different browsers will handle this situation differently.
Have a read of this article:

Hope that helps.

SFTP MGET of large files fails - connection closed - problem with spool file

I have a new SFTP job to get files from an FTP Server. The files are large (80mg, 150mg). I can get smaller files from the ftp site with no issue, but when attempting the larger files the job completes abnormally after 2 min 1 sec. each time. I can see the file is created on our local file system with 0 bytes, then when the FTP job fails, the 0 byte file is deleted.
Is there a limit to how large an ftp file can be in Tidal? How long an ftp job can run?
The error in the job audit is Problem with spool file for job XXXX_SFTPGet and an exit code of 127 (whatever that is).
In the log, the error is that the connection was closed. I have checked with the ftp host and their logs show that we are disconnecting unexpectedly also.

I believe there is a limitation on FTP and what you are seeing is a timeout built into the 3rd party application that tidal uses (I feel like it was hardcoded and it would be a big deal to change but this was before Cisco purchased tidal) there may have been a tagent.ini setting that tweaks that but I can't find any details.
We wound up purchasing our own FTP software (ipswitch MOVEit Central & DMZ) because we also had the need to host as well as Get/Put to other FTP sites. It now does all our FTP and internal file delivery activity (we use it's api and call from tidal if we need to trigger inside a workflow)

Back up all data.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

I would first of all trash the preference file for InDesign, make sure the application is closed then find the prefs in
/Users/USER NAME/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign and just throw the entire folder away, it will generate a new one after you launch InDesign again.
Now launch InDesign and see if the problems are resolved.
If not I would repair your permissions on your hard drive wih disk utility, and if that fails then di-install InDesign and re-install that single application.
Let me know if any of these suggestions work for you
I will be checking my email although you might have to wait for a response as I will be taking a microlight flight over the Victoria Falls tomorrow. Yay can hardly wait.

it's non possible to treat binary data as String!
Image files must be sent as byte[] NOT as String ......

:global.user_id := substr(win_api_environment.read_registry('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\control\computername\computername','computername'),1,10);
Because i commented the above line & compiled, so it is not giving any error now.
So please tell me what win_api_environment.read_registry does??
it's read windows registry value. So, no problem if you comment it.
