IDLK files allowing multiple users overwriting...

I have always relied on a device for locking InDesign (.idlk files) to protect our team opening the same file at the same time from the server.

Since the migration to a new server files .idlk seems to have stopped working. The .idlk files are still visible, but it prevents multiple users have the same file, open and save the changes.

Its obviously an issue given that people may lose work easily if more than one person has a single file open for editing.

I've seen some people mention that it could be a network permissions problem, but nobody seems to have had the same exact problem or the workflow.

Any suggestions for a fix would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much!

And the correct answer is: SMB instead of the AFP file protocol.

For some reason, our new server and InDesign don't play well together where the. The IDLK files are concerned. We tested several versions of InDesign, while he was in all areas.

After much trial and error, we have found that logging on to the server through SMB straightened InDesign.

The. IDLK files now lock out other users open. The path to the files INDD its supposed to work.

Peter and Larry thanks for their help also.

See you soon,.

  • Mac on Windows SMB shares - IDLK files that allows multiple users to access the same file endangered

    Hello

    We have an agreement with Adobe volume licensing and have about 16 licenses Adobe CS6 all used on Mac computers. The network focuses on Windows servers and actions that Macs connect to the through an SMB connection on the server. The question we have is that when you open an InDesign file, sometimes it will not create an IDLK file (or sometimes it will create one, but it will disappear a few seconds later) and it allows several people to view the same file at the same time. Of course two or more people working on the same file can, will and caused problems with crash documents without knowledge to do so.

    Someone else has experienced this or have any ideas as to what might help us solve this problem?

    Thank you

    There will be no file locking for an earlier version, until it is saved as a

    CS6 file.

    For the rest, this looks like a problem with permissions on the server.

  • IMac is not able to share multimedia files with multiple users on the same computer.

    We just bought a new IMac that we were very excited.  We have phones Apple and iPads, replacement and ten year with a new Mac old PC made since.

    Now, the trouble begins. For more than ten years Windows had several usernames on the same machine and have been able to have a shared folder only for music, pictures and video that my iTunes program and others could acsess and share from several user names. This kept all in one place for new photos families by me or my wife and our 30 gigabytes of music that comes from our CDs was available at bolt of us. Now in train to implement on IMac should be easy but is impossible.  after transferring the music to my login information, it cannot acsess all files on my login. I am not even able to share or provide his acsess. I can move the iTunes folder to my shared folder. She can get acsess now but iTunes says that the library file is locked. I worked with care from Apple on the phone for that sold, but they believe it will not be possible without creating two copies of the 30 gigabytes of music for each of us. who would take more hard drive when it failed too.  Sharing is not any help. These files were before iTunes. I'm not pay 30 dollars a month to store in icloudcor use a google reader slow to the Internet connection when everything's fine here. Apparently Applow programmers do not believe in sharing of multimedia files between two users on the same device, even if a PC does that very well. My choice here is so far have duplicates of all the photos, music and videos loaded on the disc for me and my wife, charge all the media for an external hard drive which for some reason any all Apple programs will share, or return the mac to another PC that will be able to make several connections with sharing music and photos. Apple if you are reading this you are 10 years behind on that. Not everyone is born in the last five years and bought their music on iTunes to be able to use home sharing. Home sharing cannot help this. your applications should be able to be told to use the media files shared without import copies to readers of the user. I am very disappointed. Someone else has any ideas for that?  I have pictures, not iPhoto. I have a week more to be able to return it. I'm not interested in making a fake account that is always connected to share or maintaining of me constantly connected. It should have been easy, I had to be happy to play with new software.

    Photos, iPhoto and iTunes libraries must appear on an external hard drive that is formatted as shown below to be used by multiple users on the same Mac:

    So get a properly formatted external HD and move your iPhoto/pictures of her as well as your iTunes library.  This way all your iMac users can access and use both libraries.

    An alternative to the external HD method is to partition your internal hard drive into two partitions, one for libraries.  It is formatted as shown above and be large enough to contain the libraries and allow the expansion of libraries.

  • El Capitan server has been updated to allow multiple users to GUI?

    Good afternoon

    We currently use a mini Server mac to run our software controller of AFN and we want it to be so that several people can manage the server of the Mini on their own connections. Is it possible that several people to connect with their own credentials to remotely?  While the account running the controller software that is connected, my attempts just go on forever.

    Several GUI users can mean many different things, but I think that the case more suitable for you, the following means.

    • Yes, multiple users can connect remotely by using screen to your Mac server sharing
    • They can each use a different user account to authenticate their connection
    • If they use another user account to authenticate their screen sharing connection, they offered the possibility of initiating a separate session, you will then get a prompt similar to the following

    • You would choose "Log In" to get a separate user session

    Note: Some applications such as Apple Remote Desktop administrator do not like to be used by multiple users on the same computer at the same time, other Applications may be ok.

  • ID that allows multiple users to access the files at the same time

    I often share files on my Mac with another Mac in my studio.  In the past if someone tried to open a file I was using would give them a warning that the file was opened.  Now for some reason, it allows both us to have the file open and work on it and seems to give priority to the person who opened the modified file.  If they make a change and save it, its OK, if I make a change to it, the program says it needs to close and then freezes.

    Not sure when this happened, but I'm guessing it's something to do with the update to Lion, because that's when I started noticing the issue. We are both short CS5.0

    Other people find this question, and y at - it a setting to stop it. We try to avoid never work on the same file, but due to workflow in the studio, it could happen accidentally and could cause major problems.

    There was a bug in the initial release of CS5 that allowed this under certain conditions. Update 7.0.4.

  • How to allow multiple users to view alerts generated by a single user

    Hello

    I created some alerts in the log Insight 3.0 and I want my colleagues to be able to see and modify.  Is this possible?  If so, how can I do it?

    Thank you.

    Shared alerts do not exist today. The workaround is to create a shared user that several people can connect to. For more information, see: 3 reasons to use a Service account in the journal Insight - SFlanders.net

  • Multiple users, a Desktop view


    Hello!  I was responsible for the setting up of an office to view in a conference room that would be available for any user who needs.  We use Wyse P25 as zero customers.  My problem is this, is it possible to assign a desktop zero client and still allow a user to connect to windows on it?  I played with kiosk mode however I couldn't figure out how to allow multiple users to connect to this topic.  Any thoughts?  Most of my users have already access to a pool of office but which asked me to do, that separate this office conference room.  One thing I thought be set up a server connection of separate view with a floating desktop computer that is available for everyone however can two separate servers connection access to the resources of backend even at the same time?  (i.e. ESXi, vCenter, etc.)

    The setting you are looking for is the AllowSingleSignon policy. This deactivation will cause the VM to require authentication at the level of the office and will allow for the use you are looking for.

    More details on this setting can be found here:

    Display Agent Configuration ADM Template settings

    You will need to install the Agent ADM view model in AD and apply that policy to make it active. You can also assign the template to just the single virtual machine if necessary.

  • When there are multiple users e-mail of files that are on the left of the screen can be hidden by other users?

    There are several people who might want to use Thunderbird on a work computer, but I don't like how all the e-mail files are open to the public view. It looks like anyone can see the emails without having to log on the account of others.

    It is regrettable indeed, and I don't think it's a good idea.
    You can opt for individual profiles, but this doesn't quite work for multiple users.

  • Allow multiple sessions per user

    This setting only works when the client connects other hosts?  If Yes, is the only way to allow a user to connect to multiple virtual machines from the same model to define another pool?

    Thank you!

    Yes, it's true. If users want to access several virtual machines via the view on the same machine, they will have to use a different account for each client instance or virtual machines in different pools.

  • Two questions about the ACS 5.1: password aging and allowing multiple disabled accounts

    Hello

    I test in ACS 5.1 password aging, and I discovered that you can have only one global setting for the password for all the accounts internal life. Is it possible to exclude some internal accounts of this global password aging policy? I would like to have number of accounts, passwords should not be aged at all...

    Second question: when I was testing password aging, I set myself to life of password in 4 days with warning after 2 days. All accounts in my test of the ACS configuration are now disabled, because 4 days has passed when I changed it. Is there a possibility to allow multiple accouns at once, or do I have to activate 500 internal accounts manually, one by one?

    Thanks in advance

    WM

    I'm not aware of any way to score internal as users with passwords as enver expire. This is done for admins ensure there is always an admin who can access the system

    In order to change the multiple/all documents for internal users, the following approach can be taken:

    1. Go to the list of internal users and press "Export" then 'Start export' and 'Save file' export user records to a csv file
    2. Edit the file. In the title 'active' column replace 'FALSE' to 'TRUE' for all records. Save the updated file
    3. To the page that lists internal users, tap "File Options", select "Update", and then click next to access the section "Import a file" Wizard. Select the file saved in step 2) and tap on finish

    Afetr imort is completed, all records of internal user should now display "Enabled".

  • Fusion and multiple users

    Hello

    I hope someone can answer a few questions for me.

    I just installed Fusion 3 on an iMac with 4 users in my household. For one reason or another, we all need access to WinXP. I have admin rights and everyone has rights of the user.

    I installed the merger under my admin account, but when I change user and launch the merger, he seems to want to install XP.

    My questions are:

    (1) merger not allows to access XP from several user accounts? Not even a single user at a time?

    (2) otherwise, since it is the woman who has the most need for XP, is possible to move the virtual machine to its account, or do I have to perform another installation of XP?

    (3) if I need to perform another installation, it ruin things if I have XP/Fusion installed on my account and create another facility for her?

    Thank you

    This error message is related to the function of VMware shared folders (VMware Fusion (menu bar) > VM > settings... > sharing (under control panel)) and is apparently pointing to a file that other users have no access to or is they if, lets say, pointing to your desktop folder.  In other words if the shared folder of VMware will be used, then you must point to a location that all applications have access to.  Also note that the "Mirrored folders" feature should not be used when multiple users need to access/use the same Virtual Machine.

    Probably the best solution for the use of VMware shared folders with multiple users is to not use this feature and instead use native file Mac sharing in order to achieve this.  Unfortunately if you do not use the VMware Shared Folders functionality you can also not use the settings > Applications > default Applications features either.  The workaround for this is to use a share point common that all users have access to and then use native file sharing on the Mac to allow each user access to files in their home and the common share folder point that all users have access to the shared folder of VMware feature to use the settings under settings > Applications > default Applications

    Unfortunately, that's when the permissions are involved and we certainly won't give all permissions for everyone to (even if desired).

  • How can I manage multiple users?

    My wife and I want to organize and modify our digital photos with PSE10.  So far, I've managed all our photos by myself, and I synced all of the data on both of our computers (and all of our data is backed up on an external hard drive).  Now that my wife wants to also organize and edit our photos on his computer, I find it difficult to synchronize the PSE catalogues and photos on our two computers.  So, I'm looking for a process better.

    I have to respect (and I can) my catalog PSE & Photos:

    (1) an external hard drive (which would be connected to a single computer at a time, while this computer user organizes and photo editing), or

    (2) on a home network location where two users could access photos to organize and edit (with a "lock-out" for the photos that are being edited by the user of the computer)?

    Are there other good or better procedures to manage multiple users of the PSE?

    My computer is running Win7 Home Premium 64-bit.
    My wife's computer is running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit.

    It's an interesting problem!

    There may be different solutions, but they are not just technical, they also depend on how you want to cooperate.

    In your case, you have two powerful PC with enough disk space. I would say that on the other hand, you will need an external drive for backups.

    Technically, you try to use different catalogs with the same holder in the same folders is bound to create great problems and probably a big mess.

    What you want is totally different synchronization: each of you will have its own organization.

    So what can you share without problems?

    -The same source media... But in your case, I would definitely have a duplicate for each of you to organize in different catalogues. This gives you total independence to cull, tag, keyword and change. It would allow you to have different results. You would take advantage of the full speed and disk space on your computer. And after all, which would be a very useful backup.

    -Your own organization and editing work? How can you 'Exchange' your work?

    Source files: for example, at the level of the inpul, you agree that you enter, tag and change the batch. You write metadata in files and export the batch which will become the record of entry to one of you. Note that already the marked pictures can be easily and quickly labeled to your liking.

    Output files: same idea, export then copy to another computer and import into the catalog.

    Here, if the marking was done in agreement with you two, you can even 'stack' images using the automatic Visual similarity tagging help.

    I think also that this method allows you to organize freely, but gives you the opportunity to have interesting discussions and exchanges at two stages: input and output. That's all and discussing content, not technical constraints.

    Hi Jeff,

    Users return data can still submit a PDF from a dynamic XML form. It is always a PDF, it's just that description indicates that the form will enable dynamic behavior.

    There are other issues to consider. Knowledge that users interact with the form - Acrobat or Reader? Then you'll be reader allowing the form before deploy you? Finally, if you allow the shape, you use Acrobat or LC Reader Extensions ES2 to enforce the rights of the reader?

    Here is a table summarizing the options:

    There is a post here:

    http://www.assuredynamics.com/index.php/2010/11/using-LiveCycle-Forms-in-Acrobat-and-Reade r.

    So in summary:

    • The dynamic XML form is always a PDF file and can be opened in Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
    • The features of this user with reader can use will depend on what software they use and how the shape was active reader.
    • Refer to the question of whether the user needs to save the form and format in which you want to the form returned to (PDF or XML format).

    Hope that helps,

  • Execution of multiple user profiles does not not in Firefox 32.0.3

    Hello.

    I have several profiles user for work and private use. Today I decided to use Firefox for private use again (currently using Chrome for private use). Because on Chrome, the video is "pixelated" when video quality is superior to 720 p. Also for purposes of stability, if Firefox crashes, which happens frequently, I keep everything.

    In any case, I use the Profile Manager for execution of multiple user profiles.

    The problem is when I try to open a private profile when you're already running a work profile, it opens a new window of work profile, not a private.

    I use this shortcut: "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla" P - by default - noremote
    The "default" profile is the work, I have a different shortcut, which is private:
    "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla ' private Pei - noremote

    Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.
