Sửa lỗi either the file does not exist trong indesign năm 2024

When I first open a document on our server it gives me the error. In doing so, this opens the .IDLK file but doesn't open the .indd. If clicking the main .indd file again (with the .idlk still open) It opens with no issues.

I also get a similar error when trying to save a new document directly to the server.

Things I've tried: - Saving as a Copy - Saving as .IDML, reopening & saving a new .indd - Manually deleting .IDLK, opening and resaving - Tried on a different users account (same machine) - Cleared Preferences - Combed through files to check for unnecessary characters i.e. <>?/\: - Updated application etc.

Too many other small variations of troubleshooting to count!

Everything started happening when working from home and having to transfer files back and forth. No issues persist when working off desktop so in the interim, I'm doing that and coping to the server at the end of the day.

@MacDadEO Are you experiencing the same complications with the .IDLK as well?

Hope someone has a solution! Thanks,

It looks like you may be trying to open files that are shown on the Start screen but are unable to do so.

Please check that the file(s) actually exist at the same location as when they were previously opened/created. If they have been deleted/moved/renamed, etc., the Start screen will continue to show their thumbnails but you won’t be able to open them.

I really need some serious help -- can't open my Indesign file. It says "Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by another application." Been working all weekend to finish this project and I just don't know what to do now.

Here's the chronology of events:

1. I saved my document last night, but left the document open in Indesign and the computer on when I went to take a nap. When I Indesign crashed.

2. At reboot, when I tried to open the file (which is in an external drive), it prompted me with the recovery dialog box, with choices of recovering the data or document now, later or discarding the recovery. I chose none and just "x" the dialog box. I thought if I did that, it will open the file anyway. But no, it didn't.

3. I shut down that computer (I was working with CS4 in Windows 7 where this all happened. That Windows 7 is in Macbook with dual boot - OSX and bootcamp with Windows 7. )

4. I tried to open the file this time from my other Windows computer, but all it says is "Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by another application."

I'm thinking the problem has got to do with my not dealing with the document recovery right after the software crashed. I'd like to know if there's any way for me to get that recovery or at least use/open the file that I have?

Please help and thanks in advance.
