Unable to email InCopy packages from InDesign

This morning after creating a new InCopy Assignment, I did what I always do which is choose "Package for InCopy and Email" and it then sends the InCopy file off to be edited via the Mac Mail program. However, this time it did not shoot me over to Mail and prompt me to type in an email address and when I quit Mail it showed a draft with the words "your assignment is attached" but there was no attachement. Then back to InDesign, where it window pops up and says "error when trying to email assignment." (I'm assuming this is an InDesign problem, not a Mail problem, since I get the error message in InDesign.)
In the meantime, my work-around has been to simply choose "Package for InCopy" and then send it myself (as opposed to the automatically generate email).
Any ideas what to do? Reset preferences? Clue: In between the last successfully sent assignment and my failed attempt this morning, I did do a software update (and update to Safari [4.0] and something called "MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update" [1.3]).
Thanks

Hi Robland,
Not sure if you are still having this problem, but just in case you are, or others like me are still looking for a solution, I thought I'd say my InDesign to InCopy system is working again. I upgraded to CS4 with no change in the package to email problem. But the other day, for a different reason, I finally installed Snow Leopard. I completed the additional system upgrade at the same time so I am now running 10.6.1. I tested it out the next time I was in InDesign and it worked. No problems!
I had long had the thought that it had fallen over after a previous system update. A few things stopped working properly, but then another system update came out and most of my problems disappeared, just not the package email problem.
So based on my experience I would say, update to Snow Leopard if you can and all your programs are compliant or have updates to get them up to speed. I haven't come across any clashes with any of my programs as yet in the past week. Now I just have to get my video card replaced and I will have my mac running at optimum speed once again.

Are you on Win 7 and see the email window freeze? In such case, please follow the link.
Also in case you are not finding Windows Mail listed (in PSE preferences) as a client in PSE then it might be because Windows mail is not configured on your system. First you would need to configure it and then it would show up in PSE Organizer Preferences>Sharing.

Waht to do ?

Hello lohmann8,
Thank you for providing so much detail about the issue you are experiencing with emailing photos from the Camera Roll.
The first thing I recommend is quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPhone:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Force an app to close

If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the Photos and Camera app, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
You can find the full article here:

ZIP-package from indesign (by script)

we have a javascript that writes lot´s of files from indesign... developers of the next step asked if it´s possible that indesign would package all those files to a ZIP-pacakge... is it possible?

var test = app.doScript('do shell script "zip ~/Desktop/Zip/test3.zip ~/Desktop/Zip/test7/" ', ScriptLanguage.applescriptLanguage);
this command gives me this result as:
#target indesign
var test = app.doScript('do shell script "zip ~/Desktop/Zip/test3.zip RS125_96B.pdf V8_Engine_Overhaul_Manual.pdf" ', ScriptLanguage.applescriptLanguage);
this command gives me a file.
var test = app.doScript('do shell script "zip ~/Desktop/Zip/test3.zip test7/*.pdf" ', ScriptLanguage.applescriptLanguage);
this command does:
and to extract the archive it is even harder (unzip).

Unable to import design package from O365 to SharePoint On Premises - Why ?

Hello,
Recently , I have added following site columns in "Article Page" content type in O365.
Page Content
Rollup Image
Article Date
Summary Links
Image Caption
Byline
And changed css for look and feel of left navigation menu.
After that, I have taken design package and tried to deploy on "On-Premise" plaform via design manager.
And I have received following error :
Feature definition with Id "XXX" failed validation, file ListInstances\ElementsContentType.xml'The 'AllowDeletion' attribute is not declared.
Would you please tell me - whats going wrong ? is that O365 update issue ? or something I made wrong ?
Thanks and Regards,
Dipti Chhatrapati

For trying to answer for this thread ,
To replicated this on my environment,(Download the Design Package from my O365 and restoring it on my On-Premise environment)
I found the the new attribute "AllowDeletion=true" in which package downloaded from the O365.
In Visual studio, used the "Import Reusable Package" template and in Feature
definition file " deleted the allowdeletion attribute.
It started to work on
my environment. Please try it on your environment (on prem) and let us know the difference or result.
And also , I wanted
add my bit of notes, we should not test the Office 365 Package on onprem environment as it had different signatures and lot of new features those are very specific to O365 and Cloud apps.

Unable to choose single packages from group ?

Hey ! Previously when I used "pacman -S kde", I was able to answer "no" to question like "Do you want to install all packages from group <kde>", then I could choose "yes/no" for every single package. Now it has changed. After typing "pacman -S kde" there's only question "Continue installation?" and if i press "no" pacman terminates installation ! So if I dont want to install everthing what should I do ?

This seems relevant...

Using an InCopy package with different versions of the same InDesign file

Hi,
I head up the studio for a London based design agency. We are looking into using InCopy with one of our clients (who will be off-site). In particular this will be working on Annual Reports.
As an example the issue I am coming up against is the following:
So far I imagine that we would have our InDesign file and create an InCopy package of all the stories to send to our client. With the content size of these type of documents it may be several days before we receive anything back. In the time between it is inevitable that we will need to carry out design changes. With our current workflow this would involve saving a new version of the InDesign file. When we receive the original InCopy package back from our client we may be working on a version 1..2..3,etc of the InDdesign layout. BUT the InCopy package wants to link to the original file we made the InCopy package from. Is there a way to link the InCopy package into our new InDesign file.
Many Thanks

You could try renaming the new file with the old name but I don't think
that's that's going to be a recipe for success.
Other than that, you're using a very dangerous workflow. Everything here
is designed to revolve around a single InDesign file with however many
assignments or packages there are.

Pros and cons of using email sending package in oracle 8.1.6

hi ,
i would like to know the advantages /disadvantages of using email sending package from oracle 8.1.6
compared to sending the same using say perl or php.
iam developing a site in php/oracle8.1.6 , in which iam supposed to create a payement module.whenever a user
register(for free trial or subscribing the site) i'll have to send him a welcoming mail.In addition to this iam also supposed to find out wether subscribers are paying cash at right time and if not send them reminder mails and other for related scenarios . i can do the same in Perl or PHP.but if iam not gaining much(say based on server performance or load) then i think i can go ahead with oracle package. when i tested it i found that its slow . what about the load that it may cause for the server (ours is linux ).
please do give inputs on this

Hi Ravi,
Thanks for your reply.
But I am specifically looking at pros and cons for web services. So the thread which you passed to me won't help.

Unable to send mail link from Safari

After updating to Yosemite, I am unable to email a link from Safari's toolbar. The same thing happens with Share, I see "no service". Can anybody assist?

This seems to be linked to a bug. We are all having issues and it seems linked to the no widgets problem also.
Alot of us have no built in widgets along with the Social Widget not working & Social Sharing including Email not working in Safari.
We found a manual fix for the widgets as seen on page 2 in this post.
How to get widgets in OS X notification center?
But we need Apple to patch the Social Widget and Social/Email Sharing in Safari as it worked in the Beta but not in the Final Release for most people including myself.

Can links from InDesign or InCopy Articles use non-file: URLs?

I am trying to determine if InDesign CS6 or newer provides any way for links to be to URLs that are not file: URLs. For example, I am using a CMS that provides HTTP access to images. I would like to do something like:
        <Link
          Self="uf3"
          AssetURL="$ID/"
          AssetID="$ID/"
          LinkResourceURI="htp://myrepository.com/resource/binary/myimage.jpg"
       />
My experiments suggest that this will not work but I'm hoping I've overlooked something.
Another wrinkle is authentication: for access to the CMS the URLs need to be authenticated, which means InDesign would need to get then authentication information on at least first resolution.
Is there a way to do this out of the box? If not, what would be required in terms of plugin implementation or library deployment to enable it? Back in CS3 days we were able to use some unsupported libraries to get URL resolution working but it would be nice if it worked out of the box.
Thanks,
Eliot

As far as I know there is nothing new in CS5 (or CS4 for that matter) regarding which styles are retained when exporting frames to InCopy. If you're exporting an individual story (text frame) from ID to IC, the only styles in that ICML file will be the ones used by the text in the story. If there's no text in the story -- you're exporting an empty frame -- then the ICML file won't have any styles.
It's been this way as long as I can remember.
What you need to do in InDesign is keep some fake text in the text frame to which you've applied the styles you want the InCopy users to use. Export that, then in InCopy, open it up, delete the text, and the styles will remain. Now you can save it as an actual InCopy template file (ICTD? something like that) from the Save As menu, and when IC users open it, it'll create an untitled, empty copy of the starter InCopy document with all the styles.
In a non-Woodwing workflow, InCopy users open the actual INDD file and so have access to all the styles, even if the story frame they want to work on in that layout is initially empty. Or, they can import (Load) all the styles from an InDesign doc into their standalone InCopy file from the InCopy Paragraph Style panel menu (Load All Styles).Not sure if you can do the latter w/Woodwing.
I was pretty sure that Woodwing had a different way of creating InCopy templates, something like InCopy article templates? Not sure.

TS3276 i am unable to open web pages from email links on my ipad

I am unable to open web pages from email links on my ipad

A few more details might help, if nobody else recognizes this.
What happens when you try to open the links?
Can you post an example of a link that doesn't work?
Is there any particular source for the mail with the (bad) links, or is mail from all sources failing?
If you happen to know it, what's the format of the mail message? (Maybe the message is an image?)
Do the embedded links work as expected from an OS X system running Mail.app, or some system and some other other mail client?
To view the link in iOS: if you press on and hold your finger on an embedded link in most contexts, iOS will show a pop-up with the link contents, and will offer to copy it. You can use that to acquire and post the link. If pressing and holding on the link doesn't offer the pop-up, the format of the link itself may not be valid, or it might not really be a link.

Filter emails based on "From" of mail package

My sender mail adapter is picking up all emails from an email account and processing the file attachment - This is working fine.
The problem is that it processes everything sent to this email account even junk mails - resulting in XI alerts. How can I ignore the junk emails and only process emails sent from a certain source???
I see that we have "use mail package" and when I check this I get two payloads when I look in the monitor:

Can I pick out <From>"Wood, Lynn" email address removed</From>
To check it is the correct FROM - ie. only process emails from a certain sender????
Is this possible??? And how do I do it???
I already use payloadSwapBean and messageTransformBean to swap the attachment for payload and to format the file.
Please do not send me endless links to anything email related !

Yes this is pretty much what I thought to do - my problem is what do I check in the UDF. I need to get the "From" field into the header. I see that you can do it if you check "Use Adapter Specific Message Attributes" and "Variable Transport Binding" then you have available in the header SHeaderFROM which you can then get in the mapping. But we are on SP19 and we do not have "Variable Transport Binding" on the Sender Mail adapter - nor an advanced tab page - only an advanced mode check box and additional parameters.
So not sure how I can get the "From" field into mapping??? Any ideas anyone?
