Sharing a document file.

I setup a sharepoint and assigned permissions to this group.
when someone is editing/working on a doc file off the server, and another user from the same group connects to the server and open/edit the same file.. it still open, i mean it doesn't prevent the 2nd user or at least it doesn't show or display a message that this document is in-use with another user.. is there away to solve it ?
Thanks,

I know of an operating system that provides this (and how it implements it), but Mac OS X doesn't provide a mechanism for file locking for this access control and file sharing stuff that's applicable between arbitrary applications.
The closest analog is probably something akin to a version control system; where you check out the file, and then check it back in when you're done. That's effective, but not nearly as transparent nor as simple as a file share, though.

  • Is it possible to link and update external files in a Indesign document when sharing the Indesign file in Creative Cloud with multiple users?

    I am new to Creative Cloud, but have been using Adobe software for many years.
    Now we are considering sharing an Indesign file with my project group using CC.
    The Indesign file contains links to external files (one Illustrator and multiple .txt files); and we export the approved version to an Hi-Res PDF.
    These .txt files are currently hosted on our internal server but have not been linked directly: we first copy them over to local desktop and update the links in Indesign before creating a new PDF. 
    Since these file can be update by different people we would like to keep them outside the Indesign and Illustrator files.
    Is it still possible with CC to link directly to the files on our server in Indesign and see if there have been updated?
    Or can they also be stored in the CC cloud? Or is there another method?
    Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions
    Ronald

    This will work if you all use the file syncing of the Creative Cloud desktop application and then you use the Collaborate option for the folder containing all the files. Then it will work on each of your desktops.
    Links to files will not work in the browser when viewing the InDesign document from https://creative.adobe.com/files.

  • Shared folders document doesn't show up over USB in Files

    Playbook Question. Our app writes files to the Shared Folder Documents folder. I know they are there because the app can read them after they are written. They simply don't show up in the Desktop Software Files section and they don't show up in the Z: drives Documents folder. If I create an empty file in the Z: Documents folder and then write to it with the app the file will contain the information he app writes to it. What am I missing. Do I need to set something on the Playbook? Do I need to set somthmg on the Desktop Software This happens in both the Photos and Documents folder that the app writes to. Thanks for any help. gjw

    Right-click on the desired folder and choose Get Info from the contextual menu.  In the info window that appears, toward the bottom is a section for Sharing & Permissions (click on the disclosure triangle if the section isn't open).   You may also need to click on the lock (at the lower right corner) to unlock and authenticate in order to make changes.
    The normal permissions for a user's Public folder is read only for staff and everyone (items can also be put in the Drop Box).  The normal permissions for the /Users/Shared folder is read & write for everyone, although the appropriate permissions need to be set by the owner (or use something like Access Control List (ACL) entries) to allow people to modify items that are owned by others.

  • Is there an easier way to open photo files that were stored in my backup as Document Files besides changing the extension on each of the photos?

    I did a backup on my mac of my phone.  Then I got a new phone.  I don't want to put all of my old photos on the new phone.  So, I went to the backup to access the photos so that I could work with them in jpeg form on my computer.  I have done this in the past with no problem. This time, when I go to access the photos they are all document files.  I need them to be jpeg files.  Is there a way to open then as jpegs without opening each individual file and updating the file extension?  Also,  why did this happen?  I recall doing this with my prior iphone and the photos were jpegs and I didn't have to do anything.
    Thanks!

    Howdy,
    This is a really good question about one of the bigger challenges of building a 3D project. When you add objects to the Canvas (including drawing), they get added in the camera's viewspace, facing the camera and sharing the same up-vector (i.e. positive Y is up). This is all well and good, but what about doing what you ask, where you want to add an object in the localspace of another object? Let's look at your example: adding a shape that is coplanar to a photo, with the camera not necessarily aligned with the photo.
    As Mark suggested, you can draw the shape in the camera's viewspace and then drag-and-drop the Position and Rotation channels from the photo onto the shape. This will replace the shape's Position and Rotation values with that of the photo, making them coplanar and located in the same place. The shortcoming of this method is that you draw the shape at a size that seems correct in the Canvas, but once it's moved to the same place as the photo, it will often turn out to be too small or large. Then you have to make further tweaks.
    Another solution is to use the Isolate command. Isolate temporarily aligns the current view to the selected object and solos that object. So you could isolate the photo and then draw the shape in the Canvas and it will be coplanar with the photo. The only caveat is that the moment you finish drawing the shape, it will disappear. This is because the photo is still isolated (and soloed). As soon as you de-isolate the photo, everything will reappear.
    The easiest way to use Isolate for new photos—not ones already in the project—is to place the photo in a 3D group, position the group where you want the photo and shape to be, then isolate the group and add anything you want to it (shapes, image, text, etc).

  • Where is the Application Sharing defaulttrace.trc file located?

    Hi,
    In a help document it says this:
    a.      Set the Application Sharing Server trace file (defaultTrace.trc) to severity info and try to start a new session.
    but where is the Application Sharing file located? or it means the J2EE defaultTrace file?
    Thanx in Advanced!
    Kind Regards,
    Gerardo J

    Hi Gerardo,
    Collaboration uses the logging mechanisms of the J2EE Engine. Therefore it is the defaultTrace.trc  under .../usr/sap/<SID>/Jxx/j2ee/cluster/serverX/log/ .
    Kind regards

  • Finder got an error: Can't get item 1 of {document file "foo" ...}

    I have a lot of files in Corel Painter 8's RIFF format. I want to write a script that opens a file and somehow forces Corel Painter 8 to save the file as a GIF. GUI scripting may be some help with the latter; now I am concentrating on finding RIFF files and opening them in Corel Painter 8.
    I have a script that does a depth-first search of the folders starting at some root folder, using the Finder application to do the file-system stuff. It creates a list with
    set docs to every document file of pages_folder whose file type = "RIFF"
    as it loops through folders it adds to the list like this:
    set more_documents to every document file of a_folder whose file type = "RIFF"
    set docs to docs & more_documents
    My naîve mental model is that docs is a list of document-file objects. Next I have a loop that attempts to strip out files for which a GIF file already exists (and is no older than the RIFF document). This works by deleting non-matching items like so:
    if not isgifneeded then
    set docs to items 1 thru (i - 1) of docs & items (i + 1) thru (length of docs) of docs
    end if
    Finally it tries to open one of the files in Corel Painter 8 using the Finder:
    open item 1 of docs using "Corel Painter 8"
    This does not work. I get an error message
    Finder got an error: Can't get item 1 of {document file "bar" of folder "foo" of folder "blah" of folder "pdc" of folder "Users" of startup disk, ... }."
    It lists all of the files. (The error message appears in a sheet that extends off the bottom of the screen!) They are identified in the message as document-file objects. The curly braces are, I believe, the AppleScript notation for a list. I expect to be able to obtain the first element of a list with ‘item 1 of xs’. My assumption is that the Finder’s open command would expect a document file object, or at least would be able to cope with being asked to open a document. What am I missing here?
    PowerBook 12" without mini-DVI   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Hi Damian and welcome to Apple Discussions!
    One suggestion: try
    tell application "Finder" to open item 1 of docs
    (without 'using "Corel Painter 8"')
    As far as the Finder is concerned, "Corel Painter 8" is just a string of characters. And telling the Finder to open a file is just the same as double-clicking it: the Finder knows which app to use - as long as these are native Corel Painter 8 docs.
    Hope this helps,

  • How do I move song files from the documents file to iTunes?

    I have a bunch of songs in the AIFF format in my documents file. I'd like to move them to my iTunes library, but I must be doing something wrong--many times. Since expecting different results from doing the same thing is a definition of stupidity, I have to ask for help instead of trying the same thing for the 42nd time.

    Use File -> Add to Library and navigate to the
    files you wish to select. You can also select a
    contiguous block by holding down the shift key as you
    click from first to last item in a list. Then press
    the "select" button. You aiff files should be added
    to the iTunes library
    Moriond,
    It worked! and on my first try. And all at one time. Thanks a million. I still have to delete all the AIFF files and name the songs and artists in my iTunes library, but I'll do that tomorrow. For now, I'll just close out my day with this great achievement, thanks to you.

  • Moving my "My Documents" file, in its entirety, to new hard drive

    I've asked this before, and I have received responses, but I think I'd better ask again before I do it, because it seems iTunes and iPod are so user unfriendly that I could lose everything I have in the process.
    I just bought an external hard drive because my C drive is nearly full. I want to move my ENTIRE My Documents folder (which is very large due to music, photos and videos) from the C drive into this new hard drive (my H drive.) I was led to an Apple web site that supposedly tells me how do this, but at the end, the directions say, "After the folder has been copied, locate your original iTunes Music folder, and drag it to the Trash or Recycle Bin. Note: Don't remove the iTunes 4 Music Library files that may be in the same location as the iTunes Music folder." I assume those two files are the ones called "iTunes Library" and "iTunes Music Library", right? I don't know what the "4" means on the instructions. Now, does that mean that I cannot move my entire My Documents file onto the new external drive, just because this folder has to remain in the same site? The presence of these 2 files require that My Documents stays in my C drive? I just find that hard to believe. As you can tell, I am lost. Can I just drag and drop the entire My Documents folder from my C drive to my new H drive, and then somehow tell iTunes where everything is?
    Thanks in advance.
    Dave Schwartz

    The default location is c:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes. If you were to move the library files and the iTunes program was unable to locate your library it would attempt to create an new blank library file in that location as long as you haven't moved anything else. If your songs are on another drive they won't be affected but iTunes won't know where they are. If you follow the instructions for moving your iTunes Music folder in the Apple guide you should have no problems. I keep my iTunes Music folder on a second internal drive and used the article. The move went without a hitch. I used the same article you were using before I believe: Moving your iTunes Music Folder

  • How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software.

    How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software. I downloaded open office to my mac to try and save money. It worked well for a while. Now I get this pop-up message that asks me to "Reopen" and when I select the option, nothing happens. I cannot save my documents anymore and I cannot convert them to word. Help!

    You have 17 options to save as in Open Office, one of which is .doc  files,  yes it needs to be saved manually.
    You may be able to default to DOC, but have not tried same.
    Since Open Office is 99% same as Word, I use it, or Word, either one.  Open Office is a bit less buggy than Word 11'

  • I am unable to call up a folder from my documents files in pages. I haven't accessed it in a while but did not delete it and now cannot find it either through finder or a search of all saved documents. Not in my trash either. Where did I hide it?!?

    I am unable to locate a folder in my document files in Pages. I haven't accessed it in several months and now cannot find it in the docs and folders when I go to "open an existing file ...", in finder, or the list of all saved docs. Can anyone suggest where I might have succeeded in hiding it? thanks!

    Try Find Any File (also available in the Mac App Store). This will find hidden & invisible files as well as those in the various Libraries.

  • How can I change a Microsoft Word document file into a picture file?

    How can I change a Microsoft Word document file into a picture or jpeg file? I am wanting to make the image I created my background on my macbook pro.

    After I had the document image the way I wanted it, I saved it as a web page and went from there. Below are the steps starting after I did the "save as" option in Word:
    1) Select "Save As Web Page". I changed the location from documents to pictures when the window came up to save it as a web page.
    2) Go to "Finder" on you main screen, or if it's on your main toolbar at the bottom.
    3) Click on the "Pictures" tab and find the file you just re-saved as a web page. (I included "web page" or something similar in the new title so I could easily find the correct file I was looking for)
    4) Open the correct file and then "right click" on the actual image. (Use 2 fingers to do so on a Mac)
    5) Select 'Use Image As Desktop Picture", and voilà! The personally created image, or whatever it is that you wanted, is now your background.
    **One problem I encountered while doing this is that the image would show up like it was right-aligned in relation to the whole screen. The only way I could figure how to fix this was to go back to the very original document in Word, (the one before it was saved as a web page), and move everything over to the left.
    I hope this helps someone else who was as frustrated as I was with something that I thought would have been very simple to do! If you have any tips or suggestions of your own, please feel free to share. : )

    Thank you, but after an hour with apple support on the phone we came to the conclusion that the documents are lost... So the lesson is, don't trust icloud as a back up solution! A month worth of work down the drain...
