Problème avec Indesign CC, je n'arrive pas à faire un PACKAGE complet, Message : cannot copy necessary linked files(s). Pourtant les liens sont bien mis à jour dans le document. Je n'ai jamais eu de problèmes avec mon ancienne version CS.

Pouvez-vous m'aider?

C’est justement ce que j’étais entrain de faire, revérifier tous les noms. Ça m’encourage si c’est ce que vous me suggérez aussi.

La première chose à faire est de vérifier si un des fichiers placés dans le document InDesign ne comprend pas de caractères « interdits » dans son nom (barre oblique, deux-points, etc.)

"cannot copy necessary linked files" when trying to package files

I am trying to package files for a customer and I get the message "cannot copy necessary linked files". Nothing shows as missing or any errors. Anyone else encountered this?

It's REALLY annoying that this hasn't been fixed...
In Sweden we use a lot of å, ä, ö. And it's never a problem to name files with these characteres (and yes, I use an Apple computer).
Before you could always copy all the files without any problems, but these days you need to rename them.
Which can a totall nightmare if you have a file with hundreds of pictures... then you need to go through the whole list of links, carefully change all the names and then update them every single picture one by one.
Which means hours of totally meaningless work.

Cannot copy necessary linked file ERROR. HELP ME!! I can't make a package

Cannot copy necessary linked file ERROR. HELP ME!! I can't make a package

What have you tried? Often, this happens when a linked file is open...perhaps at the hands of another user across a network where you can't see. If that's not the case, and you're sure you don't have it open, it's still possible your system just thinks it's open. Reboot the computer and try again.

Why do I get error : InDesign could not package the document ' name of file ' . Cannot copy necessary linked file(s).

I am create a very basic 36 page magazine. I have never ever encounter this issue in the 10 years I have been creating these. I have been getting this issue ever since the cloud InDesign. It is making it very difficult to get my work to press. I have no errors! All items are linked. I've gone through and relinked. I've removed items. I feel like I've tried many things. Anyone have any ideas???

Thank you so much!!! I just did a test run with an old file and changed all of the file names that had symbols and it worked!! It packaged for me without errors. So great!!!!

When I try to copy a photo from my computer (windows 7) I get this error message: Cannot copy item. The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected. Any help for this?

Are you syncing the photos using Itunes?
When you plug your phone into your PC, in Itunes under the picture tab you can sync photo and then choose the photos.

When I link file I get error message cannot save file to draft then I cannot send the message

Using Hightail to link, I click link, the file uploads and the blue box appears in the email with the link but then when I try to send it I get an error message saying "Sending of message failed. There was an error attaching hightail.png. Please check if you have access to the file.".... Help!

There could be a number of factors: under Tools/Account Settings/<i>accountname</i>/Copies & Folders, are drafts saved to an IMAP server folder or Drafts on Local Folders? The latter is recommended for IMAP accounts. Second, does the attachment size exceed your service provider's limits? Third, do you have ab anti-virus program scanning outgoing mail (disable that component if it's in place)?
Otherwise, there could be a bug in the Hightail implementation in TB.

Error message: Cannot load the rpt file

Can anyone please help.
I created a Crystal Report which I deployed into Business One. Tested this report on about 13 machines running Business One and all running well except one machine where it comes up with the following error messages:
1: Cannot load the rpt file
2: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
3: Invalid report file path
I have tried logging into Business One on that machine as a different user and encountered the same issue. Then logged onto another machine as the user who uses the machine with the error message and her profile works well on another machine.
This is leaving me with concluding this problem could be down to the machine but cannot figure out how to fix it.
Does anyone have any ideas to solving this?
Thanks
Tony

Hi Tony,
On the troubled computer, check in Control Panel whether Crystal Report Runtime is installed. If not, un-install client app and re-install from B1_Shr client's folder. The first thing that it will do is to instal Crystal Report Runtime.
Source: when I did an upgrade on a client recently this happened. After troubleshooting everything I found that this issue is a hit-and-miss as some PCs had it some don't. I started comparing between working and non-working PC and found this is the only difference I could found.

I cannot restore iCal from time machine error message cannot copy iCal as it is needed by os x

I have tried to restore a previous version of iCal from a time machine backup as I keep getting error message "iCal cannot be modified or deleted because it's required by Mac OS X"

You have two library folders: one is at the top level (when you open your hard drive) and the other is in your user directory (when you click on your account name in the Users folder). You want the latter.

InDesign error message when packaging artwork

When I try to package a particular document I get an error message saying "Cannot copy necessary linked files"
All links are linking correctly from what I can tell. There are no errors in pre flight.
I have tried deleting all the images out of the file and I still get the error message.
I have tried copy and pasting each page into another document and packaging that document but I get the same error message.
I can package other documents no problem - it's just this one that I can't package. I have tried packaging it after a restart, packaging it on another computer and coping the file to my desktop and packaging it from there.
Please help, I need to get this file to a client!

The causes for this are generally either an "illegal character" (typically a slash or asterisk, but could be something else) in a file or folder name, or the length of the path leading to the file is too long.

Indesign CC packaging process fails with the error message "Unable to copy necessary file(s)"

When I try to package a file with a lot of links, the Indesign CC packaging process fails with the error message "Unable to copy necessary file(s)". I am able to make a PDF of the same file, but when packaking the process fails every time. The app does not crash, just gives an error message. What gives?
(I'm using a MacBook Pro Retina Display with 16 GB RAM, running OS 10.9 and all CC 9.1 updated with the latest patches).

@John – that's really strange… the thing with the file names depending on the file type. That could eleminate Mavericks a bit from the equation and put the weight more on InDesign CC.
Provided:
1. You give it a go with InDesign CS6 v8.0.2 and tests are showing it will work fine in this regard.
2. The same composite characters are present in both file types, the ai files and the PhotoShop ones. On a Mac OSX characters for files and folders can consist of "composite" components:
ü for example is a two component one: the u and the two dots above the u. On a machine with MS Windows, this is not the case…
InDesign CC was programmed from scratch for a 64 bit architecture. So it could be a severe bug in InDesign CC.
Maybe other readers in this forum could test for these cases…

How to open an InDesign CS5 file in CS4 - error message.

I worked on a file in Mac's OS Adobe CS5 InDesign
at school; emailed it to my home address; tried to open it in Windows
XP Adobe CS4 (I've done the same thing with other InDesign
files recently without problems) and received the following error message:
"Cannot open "file name". Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions, or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign." To the left is a list of 18 (!) plug-ins.
Of course when I click "OK" I'm sent back to a blank .indd screen.
Solutions? Suggestions? More info needed?
Any and all assistance will be appreciated.

Thank you, Scott;
I'll give this a try when I return to class on Thursday. I am puzzled that other InD CS5 files have opened in CS4 after a message that "some data may be lost" - which I have clicked "OK", edited the file and emailed it back to school to open in CS5. Oh, well, if this works I'll use it on all the CS5 files that I create in class.
I appreciate your email.

I moved itunes file to external hard drive and want to move the file on my pc to recycle bin. When I move i get an error message that it cannot delete ituneshelper.dll access is denied. Can I move that file to the recycle bin?

I am trying to free up space on my pc and moving itunes files to external hard drive. I have followed instructions and believe I have file copied to new drive, but I am having trouble moving file to recycle bin as the instructions say. I am getting the following error message: cannot delete ituneshelper.dll:access denied, make sure disk is not full or write protected and file not in use. I know the file is not in use when trying to move. Any help would be most appreciated. I am on Windows XP.

Yes. And you should not have moved that folder. Put it back. To move your iTunes library move the folder from User's Music.
