Mac OS X

Visitors to support forums for both Adobe and Apple report an inability to properly save files from InDesign, Photoshop, and other CS3 programs to a location on a remote server when the file is open.

When users attempt a save command, the file on the server becomes unusable, even when copied and opened locally. The issue occurs regardless of the format and doesn't appear to occur for locally saved files, which can still be uploaded to the server afterwards.

The corrupted files appear to have a modified header that prevents them from being recognized properly, say some readers. However, some also report success in choosing "Save As" to register changes rather than the standard "Save" command.

Neither Adobe nor Apple has commented on the discovered glitch, although a number of users report that Adobe has often discouraged users from working directly with network files.

"There are far too many variables in the system for this way of working to be supported by Adobe," one user says.

Less fortunate, however, are MacBook and MacBook Pro owners, a number of whom note in Apple-hosted discussions that reported visual flaws in certain Mac OS X applications have carried over from version 10.5.2 of the operating system to 10.5.3.

Despite the sweeping nature of the fixes, portable users running the latest version say that redraw issues persist in key programs, particularly movie players or Apple's own iTunes app. The bugs often distort or block out entire window views as well as cause momentary blackouts in videos, all of which are visible in a video one user has submitted to AppleInsider.
