Ps CS5 - Began to Lock up

When I'm working in Ps CS5, it will locked up, I can load up the window but I can't do nothing in Ps.  I have Ps open on another computer as I write this, that I was working on and I didn't save the project, but there is a marquee selection etc. Is there any way to get Ps to respond so I can resume working and save ?

s there any way to get Ps to respond so I can resume working and save ?
I would not be optimistic in that regard.
In any case you have omitted to give potentially relevant data like OS, hardware, …
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

  • Indesign CS5 file keeps locking and won't save or undo

    Hi Adobe forum,
    I've recently bought Indesign CS5 and I've already had two problems in two days with the software. I've got a new macbook pro.
    The first problem was when exporting a file down to CS4 with the new IDML file format it kept sending it to the background export panel, but it then wouldn't process at all. This was annoying as i couldn't then save or cancel the exporting file. I found a way around this by first exporting a pdf and then exporting the IDML file... it seemed to get it all kickstarted. Please fix this bug Adobe.
    The second problem I've got is: I opened an Indesign CS4 file and then saved it as a different file name. I then opened this new file and as soon as i tried to make a few changes it wouldn't let me save or undo or redo anything. This was very odd, and annoying. I checked the file info and nothing was odd and permissions was read and write. Any idea how to get around this? Is there a secret unlock / lock button that I have pressed somehow?
    Let me know if anyone can help.

    Paka222, please start a new thread for your problem. It's not the same as the year-old problem that started this thread. (Maybe someone can lock this one?)
    I opened my CS3 files and then successfully saved them several times, but part way through a job, the file froze up and I couldn't undo or save. When I closed the file it asked me if I wanted to save so I said yes, but then it gave me the message that the file could not be saved. In one of the CS5.5 help sections it said to export as IDML file and then reopen the file if you are experiencing problems saving converted files. I did that but it did mess up the file a little (added drop shadows to a bunch of the photos that did not have drop shadows). I'm hoping this will fix the problem, but it isn't a consistent problem so I have to test it. Are you running any type of auto-activation plugins for fonts? I just set up my Fusion 3 font auto-activation plugin for CS5.5 this morning and the problem occurred on the same day. If the IDML fix does not work, I'm thinking it may be the auto-activation plugin since I've read about similar issues before with third party plugins.
    You should try exporting your CS3 files to INX and opening that in CS5.5.
    If you see a problem when you export to IDML, it most likely means that your file was corrupt from the start. I guess it could also mean you have identified a bugin the IDML export, but I think that is not the likely case.
    Given that there are known issues with Suitcase interfering with some background tasks (Preflight), it's not surprising that it might interefere with another (Export).
    When you open a new thread, please tell us your OS and version of InDesign as well.

  • Mac mini locks up in 10.6.5

    Hello everyone,
    I am a long time Mac user, but I seem to have stumbled upon a problem, and I cannot figure out what the problem is. I have a Mac mini that was recently updated to 10.6.5. It was workin fine for about a year and then after the 10.6.5 update, it began to lock up if left idle for longer periods o time (e.g. about 2 hours or more). It will become unresposive, and while the monitor will be on, the keyboard an mouse do nothing, the screen freezes at wherever it was - nothing happens, and i have to resort to a hard reset by holding the power button. I never had this problem with 10.6.4 and I haven't changed installed items at all. This is what has me stumped. I don't know where to start. I have checked the log files but found nothing of note in there.
    I would appreciate any info on my problem or what could be causing it. If you need additional information regarding my problem, please ask me.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    No help here. But had a similar problem. I had updated to 10.6.5 and iTunes to 10.1 and a few nights would play iTunes, in the morning when trying to quit iTunes it would hang the system. Could not force anything, or really do anything. Also had to resort to a hard reset by holding the power button. I could use the mouse and keyboard, pulldowns seem to work.
    What I did was to restore from TimeMachine, to just before I updated. That was four or five days ago, then I updated everything except iTunes and the 10.6.5 system update. So far I have no problems, so don't know if its 10.6.5 or iTunes 10.1 or both together.
    They seemed to have messed up iTunes, with 10.1, the left top screen buttons are now vertical, instead of like all other applications, being horizontal. So, I will pass on that update, maybe in the future they will fix it. Must be some MS employee they hired to work on it.
    With the system will wait for 10.6.6 or something. Good luck

  • Objects in symbols disappearing after closing/reopening project-HELP!!!

    I am a college student working in flash CS5 and am in the middle of an animation project where i am creating a walking human figure using armatures.
    I began the project on the school computers, everything working fine. saved project to several places, including flash drive and computer's thaw space
    brought project home to continue working on my macbook. opened project and figures animated arms and legs (which were perfect on school comp) are completely missing. The symbol names are still in the library, but the objects themselves look like they've been deleted. they are nowhere to be found.
    This has happened every single time I close flash and reopen it, whether on the same or a different computer.
    I have had to recreate the whole project from scratch 4 times now because of this.
    I came in early to class to work on the project more, and lo and behold, it opened with all the arms and legs (the ones i had redone for the 4th time, from the most recent work session on my laptop). I continued working on the project, all going great, but then another class came in and i had to change computers.
    I saved in multiple places again, flash drive, thawspace, etc. and moved to another computer. Opened project from my flash drive, and the arms and legs are all missing again. i just have a floating head and torso, and the project is due in an hour. There's no way I can recreate all the drawings and armatures and animations from scratch a 5th time in just an hour.
    Here is any additional info that might help:
    both school and home computers are running Flash CS5
    began project on school computer using several flash files:
         1st file was simply to draw the pieces of the figure.
         2nd file i imported pieces from file 1 into library to begin animating in file 2.
         (once the objects were imported into file 2's library, file 1 should not affect them right?)
    I continued to improve and refine and eventually animate body parts in file 2, saving continually.
    As long as project is not closed, everything works perfectly. Once project is closed and reopened (even on same computer) armatured objects disappear.
    Their symbol names (placeholders) still appear in the library, but when you select them and see the overhead preview or enter symbol editing mode, it shows a blank screen.
    ******IMPORTANT******
    organization of files is this, in descending order from outtermost to innermost symbols
    1. mc_model-------------a movie clip of the entire figure, containing all the figures individual animated parts as separate symbols
    2. gs_leg------------------a graphic symbol containing one keyframe extending 40 frames, simply a placeholder for the armatured leg in the nested symbol
    3. gs_legArmature-----another graphic symbol containing the original drawing of the leg, also the leg's armature and animation, lasting 40 frames.
    NOW here's the thing.....when you enter into all of these symbols (mc_model>gs_leg>gslegArmature) and you are on the deepest level of the leg which contains the armature, once the project has been closed and reopened, the ARMATURE IS STILL THERE. The poses are still recorded in the timeline, the armature bones or connections or whatever the name for them is are still there, just the actual leg is gone. Just the drawing of the leg.
    I will try to attach a screenshot so you can see what I'm talking about

    <img src="http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm150/haleymariemackenzie/Picture2.png">
    Hopefully that worked......
    Any help is appreciated. It is too late to save my project, but I want to get to the bottom of this so I can at least avoid it in the future.
    Thank you

    We are checking the cursor status from v$open_cursors. As you said it may be cached cursors.
    We have find out one more thing in connection pooling setting in Tomcat.
    It is having the below setting :
    connectionCacheProperties="(InitialLimit=2, MinLimit=2, MaxLimit=1024, MaxStatementsLimit=50, ConnectionWaitTimeout=10, InactivityTimeout=300, PropertyCheckInterval=600)"
    connectionCachingEnabled="true"
    If we are changing the value as follows , then the database is not showing any open cursors or even inactive connections.
    connectionCachingEnabled="false"
    But we cannot change this to false because of some other reasons .
    Can anybody explain why it is happening. Is there any other way around ?

  • My experience in Toshibas product and customer services

    Just a warning to people who may be considering purchasing a Qosmio based on my own experiences and the research I have done in the last week.
    Toshibas customer service is simply not what it once was and there are 100s of reports of Qosmios of all generations suffering extreme issues just outside of warranty periods.
    Ref: Toshiba Qosmio X500-149, Support call reference ********
    I am writing to express my frustration, anger and disappointment in Toshibas product and customer services.
    I am a Freelance Community Manager, Video Game and hardware reviewer in the video games industry presently looking after 2 communities for 2 employers totalling over 2.5m users, I travel to a lot of trade shows, expos and community meet and greets where I require a laptop suitable of showing the employers products which are usually AAA video games or editing video on the fly for publication to social networking sites.
    In January of 2011 my 4 year old Alienware hit that point where it really needed replaced, I opted for a Toshiba Qosmio over the Asus G73 as there was a 300 price difference for near identical spec.
    I managed to source a X500-149 at PCWorld the companies flagship model here in the UK paying 1499 for it on January 26th 2011 reduced from 1799.
    For the 1st 13 month this laptop performed admirably aside a design issue of the fan guards that I raised on the 16th May 2011 with PCWorld where the heat expelled causes the rear guard plastics to become exceptionally brittle and crack. I evangelised the product to anyone who asked me what laptop and model it was that was running these AAA games in such great detail, something I certainly won't be doing in future.
    In early March 2012 it then began randomly locking up requiring a hard reboot this would then suffer issues restarting, reporting Operating system could not be found this would usually point to a fault on the primary HD, disk checking software however reported no errors but this continued to happen which would lead me to suspect the motherboard.
    Within a month of this problem starting the left laptop fan began making a horrible screeching noise and had a distinct wobble whenever high RPM's were required and the machine began to often go into thermal shut-down whilst performing my work duties and utilising graphics and higher than idle CPU.
    I decided on the 23rd April 2012 that enough was enough and I was going to speak to Toshiba as for this to happen to a flagship laptop that was only just out of warranty was simply unacceptable.
    23rd April called to report the issue and was basically told tough luck its out of warranty at this point I also updated my tel numbers with Toshiba as the info was outdated, after expressing my anger at this Toshiba agreed to offer me a extended warranty at a cost of 166.
    I was fuming to say the least Toshibas flagship laptop breaks at 14 month old and I am expected to stump up more money. If I was not desperate as the machine is critical to my work I would have returned the machine to PCWorld under the sales of goods act and it not being fit for purpose.
    As that course of action would likely lead to legal proceedings, engineer reports and even more delay than just dealing with Toshiba for a repair, against my better judgement I called back at 11am on 24th April paid the 166 and took Toshiba up on the warranty extension, order number ********** again having to provide correct tel numbers as where once again incorrect, immediately after I reported the faults.
    Toshiba Support centre on fault reporting where great noting each issue in detail and raised a collection with UPS for the following day.
    The evening of the 24th April whilst I was retrieving data from the laptop in preparation for factory resetting it the machine went into thermal shut-down with a very distinct smell of burning chemical/plastic coming from the rear vents.
    It took me over 90 minutes to get the machine cool enough to actually reboot and get my data after this I shut it back down and boxed it up not be used again.
    I thought the best course of action would be to report this as it was a fair step up from the previous overheating. Wednesday 25th April at around 9am I called Toshiba to report this and was advised this would have to be dealt with by a head office case manager, as the item had become hazardous thus the collection that would take the laptop to the service centre was cancelled.
    At this stage the advisor took my contact numbers again and escalated the case to head office advising at that time that I would be called by HO within 24 hrs.
    Thursday 26th April 15:31 Well past the 24 hr mark and no sign of a call so I called support again and spoke to a advisor called Jacob. Jacob advise that HO had indeed tried calling on 01670 ******* this number was my old number, this number was the number I had advised twice already was incorrect and had provided both a correct land-line and mobile number 3 times previously. To say I was annoyed was a understatement.
    Jacob attempted to contact Chloe Sontag who was looking after my case but the line just rang out so Jacob advised that he had sent an email asking for Chloe to contact myself.
    Friday came and still no contact by 15:00 so I called support who once again tried to patch me to Chloe who's number once again just rang out and again an email was sent asking to call me.
    No call by 17:30 so I called tech support again and spoke to Ian asking for head offices number so I could call them direct, Ian provided the number yet advised that HO are now closed.
    After expressing my frustration with this whole process and just how critical this machine is to my daily working life Ian promised to look into the case on Monday AM and try and expedite actually getting a phone call to at least start the process of having this laptop repaired.
    To say I'm annoyed is really a understatement not only has this failure to receive a simple phone call at least delayed the repair by almost a week but it is costing me more and money daily when I spent a large amount on what I imagined would be a great laptop for 3-4 years and believed Toshiba actually had good customer service in the event something did happen.
    My best guess is that Chloe is on holiday or is part time or such like as her phone just rings out and if that is the case then I would question why assign a case to her, if she isn't then I would want to know why after 2 additional mails advising that the customer is not happy and to contact them has there been no contact or are your case workers just so overworked with faulty products that they can't manage the workload ??
    So far Toshibas inability to produce a product that last as long as you expect it would has cost me 2 days off work that I am having to make up this weekend thus cancelling prior commitments, 166 extended warranty 600 for a HP laptop that I had to go and purchase yesterday 27th April 2012 to actually perform my work on and who knows how much in phone calls by the time this matter will finally be resolved.
    I was happy with Toshiba as a manufacturer and of course laptops can have issues however having now researched these issues far to many Qosmio X500 users report severe overheating just after the 12 month period or within it and many state that repair after repair has taken place but still to no avail, this on top of the cracking of the rear heat-sink guards has to be a design fault.
    This letter will not arrive with you before I have hopefully had a phone call and my laptop has at least been collected for repair, If I have not had that phone call then I would expect another letter very shortly.
    Why have I wrote this letter ? To express my disappointment with just how poor the durability of your flagship laptop is and also at just how poor your customer service are, 1500 is a lot of money in the PC purchasing scheme of things and to expect this quality of hardware and customer service is simply unacceptable.
    I expect the repair to be expedited and if like some of the horror storys I have read online parts required will take 4 weeks + then I would expect a replacement laptop, not everyone uses these things for entertainment and whilst the HP I had to rush out and buy with money I didn't really have available can allow me to perform my core duties to the minimum it cannot allow me to perform my duties to my standards, my employers standards or my expectant communities standards.
    This has been a really unfortunate series of events as I had been considering the X870 Ivy Bridge based on the Nvidia 670m Qosmio which would release soon and passing this X500 onto my partner but after these events and the fact that the HP laptop had to come out of the money saved for it then I can categorically state that will not be the case and I will instead opt for the Asus G55 or G75.
    If this issue cannot be resolved to a satisfactory manner then I will have no option but to seek an independent engineers report as well as printing the myriad of similar reports of these issues on the internet and return the item to PCWorld.
    In line with the sale of goods act 1979 a large electrical item has to be of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose for a period of 6 years whilst I wouldn't expect the full 6 years from a laptop I would expect at least 3-4 year especially considering that this is a near 2000 flagship model not a 200 budget model.
    This is a action I really do not want to take as it will likely end in small claims court against PCWorld a company that on this occasion has done nothing wrong, I do not believe in punishing those who are not at fault so its a action I really wouldn't be happy with and I'm sure PCWorld one of if not the largest vendor of Toshiba products when you incorporate the rest of the DSG group wouldn't be too pleased with it either.
    Frustratingly

    So I received my laptop back today after having fans replaced and a good clean as well as the top cover replaced.
    Opened the box and took the laptop out 1st thing I noticed was a screw rattling around inside, SIGH!!!!
    Plugged the laptop in and attempted to boot it at this point it just cycle through finalisation of windows install and shutdown.
    How could a laptop have been tested if it didn't even have windows installed ?
    An hour later and I gave up unplugged it and lo and behold it actually booted when on battery only.
    I then noticed that the SSD was full, oh wait no it wasn't the head office engineer in his infinite wisdom decided that partitioning a 64GB SSD to 2 drives barely even leaving enough for Windows on the C: and wait for it putting the HDD recovery on the second partition was a good course of action.
    So a completely borked install and a screw floating around inside remind me how this particular engineer has a job ??
    I spent the next 15 minutes just moving data around and creating and deleting partiitions to fix this mess up.
    Grabbed HWMonitor to check temps and at an idle 50c on CPU and 36c on GPU they didn't look too bad,
    Installed the Toshiba recommended Nvidia driver a driver I hasten to add that was released in 2010 as Toshiba have not updated the drivers for their flagship series laptop since then, They are happy to take your 1643 that the unit cost but then don't expect support for it.
    Anyway that aside I then installed 1 of the games I work on and began to run the machine through our benchmark software wooooosh the temps shot up to 90c+ on both CPU and GPU and remained at this temp for the duration of the benchmark never quite triggering thermal shutdown, I then loaded into a warzone for further testing and sure enough half way through it the machine shut down due to thermal shutdown.
    I then uninstalled the toshiba driver and tried a NVidia one sure enough as others have advised actual Nvidia drivers seem worse and thermal shutdown came so much earlier.
    I have been to PCWorld today to begin proceedings of returning outside of warranty due to not being fit for purpose or of suitable quality. This is costing me a further 60 and at least 2 weeks more without a proper machine and will likely result in me getting about 1300 back from PCWorld.
    So lets do the math on just what this will have cost me by the time its finished.
    1634 Original purchase
    166 Extended Warranty
    600 Backup Laptop whilst this was away for a month
    60 outside of warranty assessment
    50 phone calls
    I will probably receive 1300 back but then 1300 doenst buy me the spec I need for work so I will have to pull out another 300-400 for the required spec so lets add that to the original figures.
    A Toshiba Qosmio, Toshibas flagship laptop will have cost me in total 2910 almost double its actual retail price.
    I will NEVER buy a Toshiba product again and it will become my lifes mission to let everyone know just how terrible they are.

  • OSX 10.6.5 lockup

    Hello everyone,
    I am a long time Mac user, but I seem to have stumbled upon a problem, and I cannot figure out what the problem is. I have a Mac mini that was recently updated to 10.6.5. It was workin fine for about a year and then after the 10.6.5 update, it began to lock up if left idle for longer periods o time (e.g. about 2 hours or more). It will become unresposive, and while the monitor will be on, the keyboard an mouse do nothing, the screen freezes at wherever it was - nothing happens, and i have to resort to a hard reset by holding the power button. I never had this problem with 10.6.4 and I haven't changed installed items at all. This is what has me stumped. I don't know where to start. I have checked the log files but found nothing of note in there.
    I would appreciate any info on my problem or what could be causing it. If you need additional information regarding my problem, please ask me.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I would have to agree with bitman, a clean install of SL would be the faster option for you. But if you are to do that please make sure you have backup copies of all your files, even put some important files in the cloud as some data can go missing during this. I bet it has happened to a number of people, files going missing even tho they are backed up and dont forget hard drives fail.

  • Mac: Could not save PREFERENCES because .....

    Could not save Preferences because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to unlock the file or change permissions on the file or enclosing folders.
    I have just installed CS5 as an upgrade to my CS3 on my MAc Pro that is running Leopard OS X 10.5.8. The electronic download and installation went very well. I could open CS5 and did work on editing some images, and all seemed to be working fine, until I quitted Photoshop CS5. I got the above message and similar ones for my Workspace changes. The Photoshop CS5 program did not allow me to save any changes in my Preferences, custom Brushes or Workspace.
    I have full read/write privileges to my computer and I could not find any file or folder, related to Adobe CS5, that is LOCKED. I have never encountered this 'insufficient privileges' problem with any of my other program installation, including CS3 and lately the Lightroom 3. Please help!!

    Hi Slau104,
    I had the same problem, and have just found the answer elsewhere on this forum.
    It has worked perfectly for me. Here it is…
    Just go to Users\Library\Preferences\Adobe Photoshop CS5\ and change the  permissions on the folder.  I just changed the "Everyone" variable to  "Read & Write" and Photoshop started up without issue.

  • Mini stops syncing after just over 100 songs

    My mini was working fine but I noticed that a couple of songs I usually listen to skipped in the same spot and one even began to lock up my ipod. I hooked up my ipod to resync all of my tunes. I have about 750 songs on my ipod normally, but after about 70 songs had been uploaded it really began to slow down and at 110 or so it stopped syncing. It says it is uploading but there is no progression. I then cannot eject my ipod and I have to force quit itunes. I've reset my ipod numerous times as well as tried to restore many times as well. Nothing seems to work. I still get the same problem every time I try to upload songs. Any ideas?
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I think maybe you should call Apple or contact customer service..You could probably update back to I tunes 6 because thats what I have right now on my computer and it works just fine with it..go to oldversion.com and you could try to reinstall 6..The last time I checked Itunes was unavailable. Hope this helps

  • IPod Connection/Software Issue

    I have had my iPod since September of '05. It's one of the click-wheel types. It has been working fine until two days ago. The iPod suddenly began to lock up when it was connected to the pc. So, I decided to reset the iPod. This did not work. I did it a few times and finally the iPod started flashing the folder saying "apple.com/ipod/support". I tried to follow instructions from the site, but when i connect my iPod to the computer nothing happens. The "do not disconnect" warning constantly flashes. How can i restore, or even salvage my iPod?

    When restoring the iPod, putting it into disk mode often helps.

    Re: CS5 crashes when opening
    Hey Guys!
    New in here, but I've been banging my head with this problem and found a very odd solution here... I will now explain:
    When trying Photoshop CS5, I was surprised by a message that said that it couldn't save its preferences... So I went to where Mac stores its preferences files and to my amazement saw that every CS5 folder were locked to my user! Oddly enough, only CS5 preferences folder were locked... So I went manually and unlocked them all and... success!
    So... go to /Users/[USER]/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/Version 7.0. In Finder menu, File/Get Info....
    The last pane is something like Sharing and Permissions (don't know if this is exactly what it is called, I am working on a Portuguese Mac OSX). Expand it, press the little lock button, and press + button... add your user (I've added admin too, but don't know if it is necessary), give Reading and Writing privileges to it... and voilá!
    Apparently everytime that an Adobe CS5 product creates a folder in there, it creates it with this weird users privileges... Really don't know if it is a Mac OSX (10.6.3) issue or Adobe CS5 (Master Collection Trial).
    Hope this info helped...

  • HT201304 Restrictions -accounts

    documentation says ■Accounts (disables changes to Mail, Contacts, Calendars, iCloud, and Twitter accounts) ...at some point it also began to lock the app store via the app. This lock did not come about in an iOS update. Does anyone have information on this? thanks

    I would have thought a change like that would have been in the iOS however my shared iPads, in carts in the schools, were all rolled out with iOS 6, a selection of free apps installed, sign out of "district" account, restrictions set including "don't allow changes" in accounts. I set don't allow changes as a way to keep students out of iMessage, Mail, and iCloud. The school librarians set up a "school" account if they wanted to add additional free apps. They are all still at iOS 6. Everything was working well and on the iPads where the school account was accessed at an early stage, at least before January 2013, and not signed out, this layered model continues to work. However, I had some late starters in using a school account and since the iPad is not signed in, they now have to disable the accounts restriction, sign in with school account and then lock the accounts again. It's doable but just threw a wrench in things. All will be changing in the near future for I'll be setting up Configurator to run at each school. Not sure I'm looking forward to that but it will be a better solution than what we use currently. Again, I thank you and value your response in this forum.
    Have a great weekend :)

  • No Audio Device???

    My Imac does not have sound. The startup chime sounds as normal, but beyond that there is no sound. The Audio MIDI Setup does not show any input or output devices. This fault happened suddenly. There was no deterioration in sound output prior to this.
    The fault appeared in 10.6.2 after a new Ipod was connected and a couple of updates ran. Once this occurred the computer got extremely slow and began totally locking up. I took it to my local Apple store and one of the geniuses got it up and running with 10.5.8.
    All versions of 10.6 lock up the computer now, due to the sound fault. The genius said it would need a logic board for $900 dollars, but it seems like there should be a much simpler fix to this.
    I appreciate any thoughts or ideas!

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Try resetting the PRAM, instructions here.

    If that doesn't help, try resetting the SMC, instructions here.

    You might also try downloading and installing the 10.5.8 combo update available here.

    It's ok to do this even if you are already running 10.5.8

  • CS5 ISSUE - STORIES NOT LOCKING ALL THE TIME IN INCOPY

    I have an issue where sometimes we will have one user open a story and it will NOT show it as being locked (pencil with line through it).  The majority of the time it will, but seems to happen too often and I see it being a problem this coming weekend as they start the switch from Quark to CS5.  I just can't have users being able to check out the same story as one person will overwrite the other.  We work off a file server with ExtremeZip installed.  Has anyone else seen this?  Sometimes if the document is available to be refreshed, like on a different story, it will then put a lock on the file.   I am not doing anything cross platform, this testing is done on 2 macbook pro's with both IC and ID CS5 installed.  Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks, Bob

    We have also had this problem. We started the Indesign/Incopy workflow in CS2 and did not see this happen until CS4. It's continuing in CS5. Apparently there is a delay in the lock file being created. If someone else checks the story out before that locked file is created, it appears both parties have the story checked out. However, only one of them actually has command of the file and only their edits will be saved. We reported this to Adobe last year when we began seeing it in CS4, and they were able to replicate the problem; however, they've not fixed it.
    We haven't tried the "refresh" workaround. I'll give that a try. I've also wondered if checking out multiple stories at once causes the problem. Some of our editors have the habit of checking out all the stories in a layout at one time. Obviously, it takes a little time for the locked files to be created on as many as 100 stories. If someone else tries to check out one of those stories in the meanwhile, Incopy lets them. At that point, we have a problem.

  • I can't open CS5 in windows 7 it tells me "Programm is locked or you are not legitimated". Bridge and Camera draw are working ok

    I can't open CS5 in Windows 7. It tells me "application is locked or you don't have legitimation". Bridge and Camera Raw are OK.

    Hi,
         thank you for your answer.
         The original Text photoshop showing me is the following:
         Konnte ein Arbeitsvolumen nicht öffnen, weil die Datei gesperrt ist
    oder Sie keine ausreichende Berechtigung haben. Heben Sie den Schutz
    der Datei mit Hilfe des Befehls 'Eigenschaften' im Windows Explorer
    auf.
         Sorry I can tell you this only in German. 
         After Installation the Version 64 Bit couldn't work because of this
    sentence (Windows 7 has 64 Bit Version). The 32 Bit Version worked
    without problems. The next day both versions didn't work because of
    this Informatiom. Bridge and Camera raw workinjg perfect but photoshop
    (CS 5) is blocked.
