Okay, so here's my dilemma: I cannot open an InDesign CS5 file over the network on my new iMac. Some ID CS5 files open fine but others give me this message:
"You may not have permission or the document may be open already."
What the???
I've tried various ways to open these problem files (i.e. using File/Open, drag & drop over icon, double click, etc.), but to no avail. The only thing that works is if I drag the file to my desktop. Then I can open it like any other file, work on it, and resave it to the server. Trouble is, I encounter the same issue when I try to reopen the file over the network to edit it.
In every instance, I was the only person viewing the file when I tried to open it.
I see no difference in permission settings in the "Get Info" window of each file; the ones that open have the same settings as those which don't open.
Ideas? I've read what I could on the subject on other forums, but none of their "solutions" seem to help. If people are figuring it out on their own, they conveniently forget to share their solutions... HELP!
