Problems saving Files on Lion-Server

My colleagues frequently report problems saving files stored on our Lion-Server machine. This usually applies to Photoshop CS6 documents but has been reported fpr MS Word .docx-Files as well. Usually the problem can be circumvented by savin the files in question on the local machine and later copy them back to the server.
Unfortunately the errors happen at random times where I usually have no access to either the cient computer or the server so I have no clue of wht is going wrong.
The Server-Logs, especially the AppleFileServer Logs don't show any information related to anx client side error message.
The only thing I see are entries in /var/log/system.log reading something like
"Jul 9 15:36:14 servername AppleFileServer[1368]: MDSChannelPeerCreate: (os/kern) invalid argument"
I'm not sure, if these messages are related to the failure of saving files, but they are the only clue I have so far.
Has anyone experienced similar problems or better has a solution to avoid thes errors entirely?

Problem saving files to X Server G4 10.39

We are using an X G4 server with OS 10.39 which does not have ACL. When users save files to the server they are getting a message that says:
The file can not be found.
The file was opened by XXX on Computer xxx on 00/00/00 at 0:00.
Users must then save the file to their desktop first and then copy file to the sever manually.
Has anyone else seen or had this issue? with a G4 server running OS 10.39. Any help would be appreciated.
G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Sounds like the bug in AppleTalk in 10.4.6. The basic solution is to downgrade the AppleTalk back to 10.4.5. You can find instructions by doing a search on the discussion boards for Photoshop.

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

Problems opening files from Windows server

Since upgrading to Leopard, some files saved on an Windows server no longer open in the correct application. For example, documents created in Quark 6.1 or 6.5 show up as Unix Executable Files and attempt to open in the terminal. Copying the file to my desktop does not help. The files work correctly for pre-Leopard Macs. New files saved from Quark 6.5 on a machine running Leopard onto the server work fine for other Leopard Macs, but pre-Leopard Macs try to open the files with Script Editor. I can change the "Open With" preferences in a get info window for individual files, but if I select "Change All", i get an error that "not enough information is available".
Also, Photoshop EPS files created with pre CS 1 versions of Photoshop appear as Illustrator EPS files.

I'm not sure if anyone is working on it.
I did copy everything to the Mac running 10.3.9 (above I mistakenly said the computer I was going to copy to was running 10.4).
I then updated the Mac to 10.5 and all the files continued to open with the proper program even after I put them back on the server.
I know that it's a hassle, but it worked. I guess if you don't have another Mac still running 10.3, you could put everything on your server, reformat you Mac to OS 10.3.9, then copy the server to your Mac, then upgrade to 10.5. That is, if you have a large enough hard drive. I don't claim to be a Mac expert so I can't guarantee anything in this paragraph. It just seems like that would be the only logical step given what worked for me with upgrading the computer running 10.3.9. Even after doing that, I'd then do a clean install on the computer. My Mac was having problems so that's what I did and plan on doing to the other Mac when I get the chance.
I guess it all depends how many files you have and how annoyed you are at having to Control click all your files to open them.

Problem saving files to PDF in Illustrator CS4 [Mac]

Hi all,
I'm having a problem with saving files as PDF's in illustrator CS4 - something I've happily done for years until about a week ago.
It seems to be something to do with the "Save As" command. When I select Save As and then select PDF, the PDF saves as a copy of the current file rather than it saving as a file itself. It also doesn't rename itself properly. Saving a file in the .ai format seems unaffected.
The multiple page function also seems to be affected - I can create multiple pages no problem, but upon saving the PDF reads as a single page PDF in both Acrobat and Preview. Reopening the same file in Illustrator reveals that the extra pages are there, but not showing in the PDF.
Any thoughts? I've trashed preferences and repaired permissions, but no joy....
Any help greatly appreciated

Problems saving files in Snow Leopard

I've just upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard (I know I'm a dinosaur...) and am now having major problems saving Appleworks files.
When I'm doing corrections, I sometimes need to save a file over 10 times and my helpful "Do you want to replace this file?" box has gone and instead it's saving as a new file and adding another 'full stop' at the end of the file name. It's driving me nuts!
Is there any way to get back to just over-writing the file?
Any help gratefully received...
Thanks
Take care
Marianne

This is turning out to be really crazy. I haven't added any third party application at all.
Last night I tried Roger's 'command-S' and it worked on a different document I opened. I tried the same document, changed it, 'Saved As' and it asked me if I wanted to over-write the file.
I then opened the original document I was having trouble with, hit 'Save As' and the same thing happened; it just made multiple copies of the file. It seems to be a problem with this particular client and all his files; unfortunately, he's the client I do the most work for.
Now I don't know why it's happening on some documents and not on others.
Any further ideas? Can I do something to this client's files, re-save them or whatever, so I don't have this problem?
Thanks again...
Marianne

Are there any problems saving files in Pages for iPad?

I have a new iPad, and I need to chose a wordprocessing App. Friends have advised me that there may be a difficulty saving files from Pages. If so then is there a recommendation for a different wordprocessing App ?

I use Pages every day on my iPad. I have had great success with it.
I use it with iCloud, and I use it on my Mac. I have created documents on the Mac, saved them to iCloud, opened them on the iPad, edited them there, saved that back to iCloud, opened them in the IOS Beta in iCloud.com, downloaded them to my Mac at work, and so on and so on...
I have used Pages every way that you can possibly use it with iCloud, iCloud.com, and locally on my Macs. No problems whatsoever.
Pages documents are saved automatically on the iPad as are all documents in all apps - at least as afar as I know. You do not have to actually save them on your own... no Save As... no Save commands at all in tha app. They are saved automatically with the last set of edits that you make in place.

Having problems saving files in CS2

I'm learning the program: Classroom in a book from InDesign CS2. In the beginning when the file was small I was having no problem saving the doc. But after The doc got bigger and I had done many things to it, I would save the doc, the save word in file was gray as it is suppose to be, then I would close the file. When I reopened the doc all my work would be gone. I have recreated this 3 times now and the same thing keeps happening, NO SAVED FILE. What am I doing wrong??? Thank you advance for your help, Sherrine

How are you opening the file (double-clicking an icon, File > Open,
File > Open Recent, etc.)? Are you saving/opening over a network? It
sounds to me like you may be opening the wrong file. Try doing some work
on the file, and then Save As to a unique name. Then use File > Open
Recent to open the file and see if your changes are there.

Problem opening file in application server received by FTP.

I am receiving file from FTP but I am unable to open them because the mode was set as 640 as in attributes.

If you do not have authorizations to open the file its easy: there is nothing you can do except contact the ftp admin.

Problems saving files

Hi,
We run a set of PowerMac G5s and iMac G5s off a Xserve all of which are on 10.4.6.
We're experiencing alot of AFP problems as mentioned elxewhere in the forum and I've tried most of the recommended fixes with no luck.
But in the last couple of days we've noticed a certain problem which really affects people who are working on the PowerMacs and saving Quark files down to the server. What happens is it seems they save down their file normally but when someone tries to open it latter it seems to have reverted to a previous version. When I checked the AFP logs I notice they are getting -5006 errors when they try to save. I've also noticed that when I look at the connections pane in Server Admin unlike the iMacs where an IP address is given PowerMac users just have broadcasthost sat in the address field.
I don't know if that is whats causing the problem but it seems like my only clue at the moment. I've set manual ip addresses on the machines to see if that might display the IP address but with no luck. Anyone else experienced this problem and come up with a cure?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Which permissions model are you using? I've had pretty good success with QuarkXPress 6.5 and the Effective Permissions model, which incorporates ACLs. Of course, there are still periodic problems, but that should be fixed soon.
Two things to check for now, though:
1. Have you seen my ACL Tips posting? I have several suggestions for effectively setting permissions: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1535247
2. Are you using QuarkXPress 6.5 or 7.0? Quark only supports these two versions with Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. Earlier versions of Quark 6.0 or 6.1 require the 6.5 update to be functional for Mac OS X 10.4. Any earlier versions, including Quark 4.x or 5.x which would run in the Classic Environment are simply not supported.

Problems saving files to network with Adobe CC on Mac OS Yosemite

Hi there
I have just made the change up to Adobe CC on my four Mac computers.
This consists of three Mac Minis (new) running OS X 10.10 Yosemite (as installed by Apple) and an iMac running OS X 10.10 Yosemite (upgraded from 10.6 Snow Leopard).
The problem we have is on the Mac Mini's, when I am working within InDesign, if I create a new file and then try to save it, it will only save to either the local Mac hard drive or the Creative Cloud. Any attempts to save this file to a local network Mac or Windows server results in an error regards permissions (Error code 1).
If I save this file to the desktop of the Mac and close the file, I can then drag and drop it into the network location with no problems, thus the permissions are correct on the servers and the issue is coming from InDesign.
But the iMac which has had it's OS X upgraded, this allows the saving of files to any of the locations with no problems.
If an InDesign file is stored in any of the locations and I attempt to open the file, any stored on the local network servers will error on the Mac Mini's, but will open on the iMac.
Has anyone seen this sort of behaviour at all and have a possible way to resolve this?
At current all work is stored locally and moved into position, or copied off of the server, worked on and then moved back. This is not an acceptable way to work permanently.
Thanks,
Rabidengineer.

Having same issue. Using Indesign CC 2014.2 update, OS X 10.10.3 and any server using a smb, afp, or cifs connection.

Problem saving files to network

We are working with files off of a network, the file server is running OS9.2. I am running OSX on my G5.
We seem to have isolated the problem to photoshop.
When we are working on a file in Photoshop off of the server, and we go to save the file, the program crashes after saving.
I tested the issue when files are on my G5 and there is no problem.
We have tested the server for any issues and found nothing.
This problem came out of nowhere about two weeks ago.
What Ive done up to this point:
-I've tested my G5 from the Disk Utility on the OSX DVD
and found no issues.
-Unistalled and reinstalled Adobe CS2 Suite.
-Trashed all pertinent preference files.
Any ideas?

When saving file to remote server it saves to wrong site

I'm frustrated try to save a file to the remote server. I
connect to the server OK. Then I open an html document, make my
changes and save it. But instead of saving it where the file came
from it connects to a different on of my sites. Ack!! Even when I
try to "save as" it will connect to the one I want and then connect
to wrong one to upload the file.

have you checked your site definition to make sure you have
the correct
site specified in the remote info?

Saving file on application server based on employee Area ,with all security

We have one discussion going on !! I just want a suggestion about that . We are using Open data set logic to open the file for read and write , Now we have different companies and we want that file should be saved on the basis of company code in that person area. Which represent a folder on application server in AL11? Can you guys suggest me how we can deal with this matter?
I mean employee # 123 run report or interface ( from ABC company )
On the selection screen ( it says /USR/ABC/interface/save/
I mean employee # 3 run report or interface ( from DUMMY company )
On the selection screen ( it says /USR/DUMMY/interface/save/
Note : it wont allowed them to save the file which is not belong to their company area, and authorization should be strict .
Cheers
usman

Well as far as person area .. company code is concern . SAP standard authorization objects control them . you dont need to do it . The object is P_ORGIN , which has these values. But you dont need to worry about that . I am 100 % sure , Your security group already implement that . If that specific user has the roles , he can access the company code and personal areas ..
FYI: you can also see its values in Table AGR_1251 against roles and user.
In addition, AL11 use the auth object S_ADMI_FCD
and See the Fm in AL11 program ( RSWATCH0 )
auth_check_filename = path_name.
 call function 'AUTHORITY_CHECK_DATASET'
 exporting
PROGRAM =
 activity = 'READ'
 filename = auth_check_filename
 exceptions
 no_authority = 1
 activity_unknown = 2
 others = 3.
 if sy-subrc = 1.
 message id '00' type 'E' number '149'
 with path_name.
In above Fm you`ll see differnt activity types like
hen sabc_act_read. l_actvt = '33'.
 openmode = 'R'.
 when sabc_act_write. l_actvt = '34'.
 openmode = 'W'.
 when sabc_act_read_with_filter. l_actvt = 'A6'.
 openmode = 'R'.
 when sabc_act_write_with_filter. l_actvt = 'A7'.
 openmode = 'W'.
 when sabc_act_delete. l_actvt = '06'.
 openmode = 'D'.
with Auth check in place
 authority-check object 'S_DATASET'
 id 'PROGRAM' field program
 id 'ACTVT' field l_actvt
 id 'FILENAME' field filename. 
You can also define a role in which you put Auth object = S_DATASET and with Activity 
06 Delete
33 Read
34 Write
A6 Read with filter
A7 Write with filter
with object = S_DATASET
you can give filename = /usr/dumyy/inter* ( for one compnay code ( just chage this value for every one )
with object = S_DATASET
program = ZP* ( program name )
ref: authority-check object 'S_DATASET'
 id 'PROGRAM' field program
 id 'ACTVT' field l_actvt
 id 'FILENAME' field filename. 
Hope it`ll help you !!
Thanks
