CS5 Trial won't save.

Hi guys,
Just downloaded the InDesign CS5 30 day trail for my MacBook and I can't get any files to save.
I opened a file that I had saved in CS4 without problem but I can't use the 'save', 'save as', 'check in', 'save a copy' or ' revert' functions. The same goes for new files too.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I went to give that a go but when it restarted it had seemingly fixed itself so I didn't bother. However after a few hours it's happened again. If I quit the programme it asks me if i'd like to save but then simply says "Cannot save filename.indd".
I'll try the preferences now though.

  • Photoshop CS5 sometimes won't save to server

    Hi, my office is having an issue saving previously created PS files to the server. This issue occurs seemingly at random times. When we do get the issue we need to save to the desktop and then replace that file over the one still on the server. Not an ideal solution.
    All of our files are stored on a Snow Leopard XServe and we work on 2009 model Mac Pro's running Leopard. We intend to upgrade to Snow Leopard but have not done so yet.
    The Mac Pro that is the main offender's specs are as follows:
    Adobe Photoshop CS5 12.0
    OS 10.5.8
    2x 2.8 Quad Core
    8GB RAM
    ATI Radeon HD 2600 Graphics Card
    If you could shed any light on what may be causing this issue that would be great.
    cheers,
    David.

    Like Mr.Cox implied, when it comes to working across a network with Photoshop: »Just say no.«
    Or be prepared for unpleasant surprises.
    I myself still often do just that, but mainly on smaller files and I am aware of the risks and rely on our back-up in case of mishaps.
    Now I know some of my colleagues have a hard time grasping the matter, because »it always used to work back when with Photoshop version whatever« – but that is irrelevant.
    Adobe clearly advises against the practice and it seems understandable to me; just consider the possible number of combinations of server- and station-hard- and software (applications and OS).
    The testing process to ensure perfect functionality for all those combinations would probably have to be really lengthy.

  • My adobe photoshop extended CS5 won't save as, what should i do?

    my adobe photoshop extended CS5 won't save as, what should i do?

    Ditto issue, netbook NB200 Toshiba, trying the higher resolution. It is inconceivable to me that a firm of Adobe's reputation would automatically shut-out a very large section of the market place!
    Also, it is a surprise with the hundred's of thousands of programs out there in the world that work just fine on netbooks, that they would not Highlight this issue on the download/purchase page (not hidden in technical specs page); and would also not have an installer that "warns" the user of the deficiency in their system at the beginning - with a clear description of what will/won't work!; Especially when upgrading in good faith from a system upon which it does work:(
    In this instance, I was able to adjust the Monitor resoltion to 780 vertical (thank goodness it's available on the NB200 system) - and yes it does work...
    I would never had realized this if the google'd search did not come up with this forum. What would have happened if I was travelling without internet connection as a photographer/videographer - which is quite often.
    Thanks to the forum for the answer/problem/issue!:)

  • Uninstalling CS5 trial has been a nightmare!

    I uninstalled the trial of CS5 and CS4 as the full version of CS5 is arriving soon.
    (I had a trial of CS4 for a project I needed it for while waiting for CS5 to arrive, the project is done and printed, I needed GREP styles badly).
    When I did the uninstall of both CS4 and CS5 THEN I couldn't reassociate the InDesign File Type to InDesign CS3.
    I went to Tools>Folder Options and I manually inserted it and a weird Icon was used for InDesign files.
    But InDesign was working fine, except that when I went to update an Illustrator file, Illustrator kept running out of memory, I couldn't save any changes to the file. So I used a colleagues computer to update the file, so the file is fine it's not damaged.
    With CS5 and CS4 uninstalled I decided I'd uninstall CS3 and reinstall it. Then the reinstall came up with missing payloads and it references CS4 folders and msu and .msi (sorry I didn't get a screen shot) and when I launched indesign CS3 it tells me that Javascript is missing and to install it.
    So I then went into the C:\Program Files\Adobe\InDesign Cs3 and sure enough in the Required folder there was two of them
    Required
    Required (2)
    So I copied all the files from Required (2) into Required and removed the (2) from the end of the folder names.
    InDesign CS3 booted up fine. But now there is no Option to export to RTF.
    But now I can't save anything from Illustrator. And I've reinstalled it and everything but it just won't work. It keeps going out of memory.
    "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error [CANT]"
    Which is flipping hilarious in midst of me having a stroke I still found time to laugh at this error.
    Summary
    So what to do? The trial for Cs4 is going to run out. But the files want to open up in CS4 from Explorer. They won't reassociate to InDesign CS3 (in fact they want to reassociate to CS2 which isn't even installed anymore). The RTF option for exporting is gone. Illustrator won't save any files because it "CANT".

    Very odd though - even though I deleted all the folders, in the Documents folder and in the Program Files,  when I reinstalled CS3 (after uninstalling and rebooting) - I went to the File>Place and choose the .rtf file I usually import and it had still retained the Mapping of the Styles.
    There was no RTF Import folder in the Documents, and I had completely erased the original CS3 folder in the Program files.
    So where else is data stored for InDesign? If it's not the Document>Application Data folder or the Program files folder?

  • CS2 won't save jpg since LR2.7 has been installed

    Hi folks,
    A few weeks ago I purchased LR 2.7 (and don't regret it for a minute!). Since then my CS2 has developed some funny habits, though, and won't save any  photos as jpg that have first been worked on in LR. The error I get is "Cannot save due to program error". I assume that CS2 (antiques, I know...) is not really compatible with LR 2.7. But at the moment I have to make do with exporting first from LR and then opening it again in CS2 if I need to go on there. Everything works fine that far but after all the work I put into the thing CS2 just won't play. No problem saving as psd file. And I have created a 'workaround' to save my efforts after all, pasting it into a new document in CS2. No problem saving then. But it seems rather strange to me.
    I work with an XP PC with loads of space & an external harddisk, a dual core quad processor and 4GB RAM. The original photos are taken in RAW.
    Anybody who can give me an idea why my CS2 is having these fits of jealousy since it got competition from LR?
    Thanks and grts

    Hi Victoria,
    Thanks for the very prompt reply!
    And yes, I indeed did use the adjustment brush in all the obstinate cases. I
    think that I'll go for Jeffrey's for the time being and wait for my purse to
    fatten up a bit to get the CS upgrade which I was planning anyway. Thanks a
    lot for your help

    I'll bet you've used the adjustment brush or graduated filter?  There's a
    CS2 bug that falls over that perfectly legitimate metadata.  Your options
    are:
    >
        •    Upgrade to CS3 or later.  (While we’re on the subject of CS2 and
    upgrades, CS5 is the last upgrade that CS2 users can buy at an upgrade
    price.  Once CS6 is available, CS2 users will have to pay the full price to
    upgrade, as only the previous 3 releases qualify for the discounted upgrade
    pricing.)
        •    Check the ‘Minimize Embedded Metadata’ checkbox in the Lightroom
    Export dialog, which will strip ALL of the metadata.  It solves the problem,
    but leaves you short of any metadata in your files.
        •    Use Jeffrey’s Metadata Wrangler to strip just the problem metadata
    from the file, which is by far the best option.
    >
    To use Jeffrey’s Metadata Wrangler Export plug-in, you’ll first need to
    download it and install the plug-in from
    http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/metadata-wrangler
    >
    Select the plug-in in the lower left of the Export dialog, and you’ll see
    the additional section appear in the main Export options panel — scroll down
    if you can’t see them.
    >
    The only part you need to remove is the ‘crs’ block -– all of the rest of
    the metadata can stay.  The ‘crs’ block is the Camera Raw Settings metadata,
    better known as the Develop settings, and photos exported with that block
    removed will quite happily save as a JPEG, even with Photoshop CS2.

  • Transition from Dreamweaver CS5 Trial version to paid version

    I've spent weeks working on my site with a trial version of Dreamweaver CS5 (actually it's part of the entire Adobe Web Premium CS5) and have two days left. Then I will have to uninstall the entire package and the trial Dreamweaver with it. I have a paid version ready to install then. I notice the trial version has generated an ".ste" file apparently automatically. Will the paid version of Dreamweaver CS5 "find" the .ste file or do I need to do some kind of import procedure? For that matter, do I need to make sure everything is up to date in the existing .ste file before making this transition? Thanks.

    it's part of the entire Adobe Web Premium CS5) and have two days left. Then I will have to uninstall the entire package and the trial Dreamweaver with it. I have a paid version ready to install then.
    What exactly have you purchased as a paid version?
    Is it the standalone version of Dreamweaver on its own or have you purchased Web Premium CS5?
    If you've purchased Web Premium CS5, you can just enter the serial number and "convert" it to a permanent version - no reinstall required.
    If you've purchased the standalone version of DW then you'll have to uninstall Web Premium CS5 Trial first.
    Normally any new version of DW will find your site settings and migrate them but this does not always work.
    To manually export the site settings, in DW click Site > Manage Sites > Export and you can save the .ste file anywhere you wish on your hard drive.
    When you've installed the new version, you can then click Site > Manage Sites > Import and point DW to the saved .ste file.

  • CS5 trial installation - Preparing to install

    I've tried to install the new Photoshop CS5 Extended trial on my laptop but I just can't seem to get it installed.
    When I start the installer nothing happens (PDapp.exe appears in my task manager though) until I go to my task manager and remove the tokengenerator process.
    Once I've done this the setup window appears and I can configure my installation until the actual installation begins. Then I just see an animated progressbar with the following captions accompanying it: 'Preparing to install...', 'Total Time remaining: Calculating...', '0% complete'.
    And now I'm stuck. I can let the installer run all night if I want and it just won't start actually installing.
    I've also tried removing some processes like PDapp, Setup or the Token one but it just won't work.
    I've also used the adobe clean utility several times and it doesn't change a thing.
    I'm using Windows 7 Professional x64, 4GB ram on a Core 2 Duo T8400.
    The same problem happens (exactly the same problem) when I try to install the flash CS5 trial.
    Thanks

    Try transferring the installation files (usually found on your desktop) and move it to the root of your hdd (c:\) and run the installation from there

  • PDF Presets lost in CS4 after uninstalling Photoshop CS5 trial

    Upon removal of the Photoshop CS5 trial, I lost all of my Save as Adobe PDF Presets (.joboptions) in the CS4 versions of Illustrator, Photoshop & InDesign. I miss them... so much....

    Add me to the list of those affected as well....  *sigh*
    Edited to add:
    So I contacted a friend and he sent me a copy of his default presets.  These need to be installed in the Macintosh HD > Library > Applications Support > Adobe > Adobe PDF > Settings folder.

  • Failed Download of Illustrator CS5 trial

    Each time I attempt to download the Illustrator CS5 trial, it begins to download for a few seconds then says to restart the download. Not sure what is wrong, have tried everything listed in the common problems page.
    Any ideas?

    Not really for the simple fact that you didn't provide any meaningful info. You know, those unimportant things with operating system, browser, where to save to and so on....

  • Help Please! my JPG files suddenly won't save paths

    I'm using CS5 on a mac. I've always been able to save JPG files with clipping paths intact. Suddenly today the paths won't save. I do a 'save as' and the path is there. When I close the file and open it up again, the path (not work path, but a saved path) is gone. No path in the path panel list! I am guessing I must have accidentally changed a setting?? Not sure what else it could be short of a software bug. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

    That's a bit strange. I am not aware of a setting that would cause the path not to be saved.
    The two circumstances to investigate are: i) was the path not saved and ii) are you not seeing it for some reason. The only way I am aware of to not save the path is to save the file as a jpg via Save For Web & Devices.
    If the file was parsed by some other viewer & saved after it left photoshop then you could loose the path, though this is not common. Also, if you happen to open the jpg via camera raw it would also not be parsed to include the path.
    Paulo
    P.S.   Perhaps you could post a sample jpg file that you believe should have a path that you cannot see.

  • Downloaded Pages today and it won't save anything.  Says I need a purchased serial number which was not sent to me.  What's up?

    Downloaded Pages today and it won't save anything.  Says I need a purchased serial number which was not sent to me.  What's up?

    You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user. Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

  • Voice Memos won't save my recordings?

    I'm in college so I usually record my classes for further detailing, but I just recently discovered that Voice Memos just won't save my recordings like 2/5 of the time. I already lost like 4 important ones for the past 3 days.
    The thing is that I see it recording, but it just doesn't save it, and it's just sitting there at 00:00:00 with the name tag I had put. I want to die.

    - Does you iTunes library already contain a Voice Memos playlist?  Some users have had to manually create it in order for the sync to occur.
    - Also try resetting your iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Photos won't save to camera roll

    Since I installed iOS7, all the pictures I take with the camera won't save to camera roll. I see them in the lower corner of the camera but when I click on it, they are not in the camera roll. In the camera roll, I just have a bunch of pictures that I deleted months (or years!) ago. I uninstalled my profile and reinstalled it two or three times with always the same result.
    All the settings are ok.
    I installed the profile of a friend on my phone to test it and everything works fine with his profile.
    Anyone can help me out with this issue?

    bluetooth is an APPLE issue: they have blocked many of the 'normal' bluetooth features on 'other' handsets..
    an example you may be thinking of is Sharing a photo via Bluetooth .. simple everywhere else, but can not be done on iphone
    -you have to use it via an app such as iphoto, or send it attatched via an email, from the iphone.
    stupid, annoying, yes.
