PS CS5 Save for Web and Devices reports "The operation could not be completed" ?

I teach in a lab of 27 computers, 110 students and part of the curriculum is teaching students to "Save for Web and Devices" this year for some strange reason none of my students can access "Save for Web and Devices" they get the error message "The operation could not be completed-A write permissions error has occured."
It has stumped our district top network support guru.
We are running PS CS5 12.0.4
He tried this posted fix but it did not work
http://involution.com/2010/06/13/adobe-photoshop-cs5-write-perimissions-error-on-snow-leop ard/
It worked once last Friday but today it failed, I'm getting very nervous about being able to prepare my students for the ACA exam without this function.
In a discussion forum they suggested "zipping and deleting" the save for web preferences, I tried that. Shut down Photoshop reopened it and that did not work.
I am at a loss. Seems like a bug.
Any ideas.
We are using iMacs running Mac OS X 10.5.8

The error message may not simply address the location to where the students will save a single file. The error likely applies to the temporary location where the various optimized versions might be automatically saved as you preview the image as JPG/PNG/GIF. I would wager that you would not see this error when you are logged into one of the students' computers as an admin.

PLEASE Help! - Bridge and Premiere CC- "the operation could not be completed" and export error - MAC

Dear Adobe Community,
I got my first imac a few days ago, and i decided to install Adobe CC.
When i want to run Adobe Bridge, says "the operation could not be completed", the same happens with Adobe After Effects.
And I also have a problem with Premiere, when i want to export a project says that premiere must close.
This is the try version, is this a problem of Adobe or Apple? i'm very worried

Confirma que se trata de una cuestión de permisos.
Por cierto te aconsejos actualices la 9.1 a 9.2, posiblemente se habría arreglado así también.
Bueno los pasos son:
2. Select Go from the Finder Menu.
3. Select Computer.
4. Select Macintosh HD.
5. Select Users.
6. Select your user profile.
7. Right click on user profile. Select Get Info.
8. Go to bottom and unlock with admin password to make changes.
9. Make sure your user profile has Read and Write privileges by selecting from dropdown menu.
10. Go down to wheel at very bottom and select Apply to enclosed items. This should allow Adobe Bridge to run properly.

Saving Sliced files in Illustrator CS6 like it was in CS5 "Save for web and devices" gone?

Hello,
I used to save all my slices in CS5 and it would give me the option to save for web and devices, then when I was in there it would let me choose the option at the bottom Other... then I could go in and save it as a html and images and then it would automatically make div's for me when I brought it in to dreamweaver. Where did this option go in CS6? Can someone help I am on a big deadline, and I lost all my work transfering it back into cs5 to try it there like I used to. Attached is a .png to show what I mean.
Thank you,
DariusB
These options are not here in CS6 and I cant find it. I would really appreciate the help.
Thanks again.

Hi,
There have been some other changes too - here is the link to the article that describes the changes: http://blogs.adobe.com/ivandavid/illustrator_cs6_save_for_web/.

CS5 Save for Web and Devices problem

I recently installed CS5 and now I cannot save for Web and Devices. A pop up error window appears saying "A write permissions error has occurred". Any suggestions to make it possible to save for Web and Devices would be appreciated.
Also, when I exit Photoshop CS5, yet another pop up window appears and reads, "Could not save Preferences because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges. Use the 'Get Info' command in the Finder to unlock the file or change permissions on the file or enclosing folders'. Again, any suggestions as to what this message is about and how to make PS close as it did with CS4 would be appreciated!
Thanks,
E

Try this first:
Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility > Macintosh HD > Repair Disk Permissions
Also make sure your not saving to a removable hard drive that is NTFS. If you can drag files into the drive its the right type of drive to use and there shouldn't be a problem.
Apart from that all i can say is to restart your Mac and make sure all the adobe updaters are up to date
Hope that helps

"Save for Web and Devices" does not highlight in my Mac CS5

I cannot even get the 'Save for Web and Devices' to work at all. It does not come up as a highlighted choice on my Mac CS5 for any image file format. I've tried in 64 and 32 bit. I wish I had stuck with CS4 until CS5 worked. Anyone got any tips?

1) You can run multiple releases on the same system. This is especially useful if you have an established workflow and you need to ease into an upgrade,
2) You can download a trial of CS5 before blowing £200 to see if it does all that you need.

"Save for web and devices" missing in File menu

In Illustrator CS5, Win 7, "Save for Web and devices" is missing, ever since recently installed. A reinstall with all defaults does not fix it. Nor does deleting the Adobe "Illustrator CS5.1 Settings" folder. The File menu entry is not grayed out. It is missing. The applicaiton is up to date.
(A) A clue is when opening Illustrator this error dialog appears: "Error loading plugins. DxfDwg.aip PNGFileFormat.aip". However, both files exist in the "Plug-ins\Illustrator Formats" folder.
(B) Closing Illustrator and restarting gives a different error message: "Some plug-ins have been updated. You will need to relauch Illustrator for the changes to take effect."
(C) Closing and restarting takes me back to (A).
Web searches reveal this to be a perennial problem. There is, however, nothing in Adobe support about it I could find. This is a showstopper.
Thanks!

Larry,
Thanks!
No. I did a support call this morning. Reinstalls from a DVD and a
download both failed to solve the problem. He did not suggest the
cleaner step.
I did check to see that Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator
CS5.1 was empty after uninstalling AI 5. Then I deleted it.
So what I've done is uninstalled AI CS5 again. Then I downloaded the
cleaner. Here's what it says:
    "List of products installed on this machine:
    1. Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 Family
    2. Adobe Photoshop CS5
    3. Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5
    4. Clean All."
It thus appears there is no way to clean just AI. So I quit the cleaner.
I will report to the forum on how Adobe support fixes this problem. I'm
now awaiting their reply on the case.
Thanks so much. Wish I could help you!

Save for web and devices not selectable

Hi, I cant seem to select the "save for web and devices" option in the 64 bit version of photoshop CS5, but it works on the regular version, and I never use the regular version, all my preferences are on the 64 bit version and too many have been changed for me to be comfortable to start using it instead of the 64 bit one. Is there a fix for this to work again?

Hi there,
If Silkrooster's suggestions don't help after verifying the image mode you are using, you may try to restore your Photoshop preferences. See the video below for easy-to-follow instructions:
Julianne notes at the 5-minute mark that the second method she outlines will get rid of your color settings, keyboard shortcuts, workspace prefs, etc. This may affect the preferences you mentioned being accustomed to in your post, so please keep that in mind.
If that doesn't solve your issue, either, you may need to troubleshoot User Permissions by following the instructions at one of the links below, depending on your OS:
Macintosh: http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/#useraccounts (Be sure to change the “New Account:” pop-up from [Standard] to [Administrator] when creating the new user)
Windows XP: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404859.html
Windows 7: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/create-local-administrator-account-windows.html
I hope this helps!

Trying to not save artboard when exporting or using save for web and devices

Hello,
I am using AI CS5 and I am trying to save a logo that is on an 8.5 x 11 artboard. When I try to export or 'save for web and devices', I am getting the entire artboard to be saved - not just the logo like I want. I have never had this issue in CS3, and just started using CS5 so I am not sure if there is a new feature that I need to be turning off to just save the logo instead of the entire 8.5x11 page.
Any help is appreciated,
Kristie

Photoshop CC closes or freezes when saving in save for web and devices

Hello,
Since I have a new laptop with Windows 8, I couldn't get Photoshop CS6 anymore, so I downloaded PS CC.
It's working great the last days, but since yesterday PS freezes or closes everytime I try to save a .gif in save for web and devices.
It drives me insane...
I hope someone can help me.
Thanks in advance.

Save for Web and Device Grayed menu grayed out

Using Photoshop 11.0.1 (CS4) and Mac OSX 10.5.6), I have an action that saves a retouched file first as a high quality jpg and then as a optimized jpg for the web. It has worked fine in the past, but today when running the action I received a warning that the Export command was not available. I tried manually exporting the using the Save for Web and Devices menu item, but it is grayed out and not available. The file is sized to 1024 pixels on the longest side, no layers and in 8 bit mode.
So far I have done the following:
Trashed the Save for Web preference file
Repaired permissions
Scanned for viruses
Rebooted the system
Any other ideas short of a reinstall?

When I save for web and device in Illustrator, I see all the pixels... What is wrong?

I have created a vector image. When I save for web and device in Illustrator, the image does not come out clear even if I'm saving the image the same size as the artboard. I can see the coutours (pixels)... I've opened the file on another computer and everything is perfect. What is wrong on my computer?
I have reinstalled the program and did all the updates. What else can I try?
Thank you!

So that you know next time that option is no longer available so to speack it is now under a dropdown wiht the default none then Type Optimized or Art Optimized in CS 5 and operhaps CS 4 as well

Exporting animation using Save for Web and Devices problem

The animation plays as it should when the "Play" button is pressed at the bottom of the "Save for Web and Devices" Menu , but when I Preview it the individual frames don't disappear once they've shown , so you can see them all at the end of the animation . This is also how they save as a .gif ( although using the "Save as html" option reverts to looking as it should , each frame appearing and disappearing in turn) How do I save as gif without this happening?Many thanks for any help

Possible bug in Illustrator CS4 text anti-aliasing in Save for Web and Devices

Hello all,
This could be a bug... if so, I'd be happy to add it to Wade's bug list a few messages down the stream.
Here's what's happening: when I create small text using a very thin font (in this case, Helvetica Neue Light), the Pixel Preview gives a noticeably different anti-aliasing solution to the actual output from Save for Web & Devices. I'm attaching an original .AI file as well as a screenshots of what I'm getting in both situations.
I'd really prefer the Save for Web and Devices output to look exactly like the Pixel Preview. The font looks great in Illustrator but loses a lot of its punch when I Save for Web.
---Peter

In the Svae for Web and Device under the image tab where it says art Optimize that is a drop down menu select Type Optimize as such
htis is what it lloks like in AI and a browser when you choose Type Optimize
This the difference between Art Optimized and Type Optimize
That is what is happening to you you are selcting Art Optimize and that is the reason when you choose art optimize aqnd you rraster the image it looks right to you.

Save for web and devices - grayed out. Why?

Hi. I just bought a new computer, new hard drives, etc.
So, I had to reinstall Windows XP pro and all my software applications, which includes Adobe Creative Suite Design (standard edition). All loaded well and my computer is up and running nicely.
only one problem.... in Photoshop the "Save for web and devices..." function is grayed out and unavailable. :-(
This is a feature I use quite a lot. Before I try uninstalling and re-installing, which, as you probably know is a lengthy process with these Adobe products, I'd like to first verify if this is a known problem and/or something I can deal with without re-installing Photoshop. I did a quick Google search, but couldn't find anything useful. Did find one post in some different forum by someone who described a problem similar to this one, but didn't receive an answer.
If anyone can help me out, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks.

You would get this if your files were 16bit or multichannel.

Save for Web and Devices (Illustrator style?)

Ive used the slice tool to mark out the images for exporting
from my Fireworks document.
Does Fireworks have a 'Save for Web and Devices' feature like
Illustrator does? I want to have the 4-up display where you can see
the original image and file size in one section and use the others
to vary the JEPG/ GIF settings to get the best combination of file
size and image quality. I want to be able to save different
settings for each slice (as you can do in Illustrator).
I cant find this feature but it seems weird that a web image
optimization program wouldn't have it. I tired opening my file with
Illustrator and Photoshop but the slices wernt imported aswell.
Ive got CS3, is this option in CS4?
thanks

FW bypasses the extra step used by PS and AI. In the main FW
window,
choose 4-Up. Select the slice you want to optimize and set
your
optimization settings via the Optimize panel. Everything bu
the selected
sliced will be screened back a bit, so you focus on the
active slice. It
will change on screen as you alter the optimize settings.
If you want to optimize several slices using the same
settings,
shift+click to select them.
When you're done, choose File > Export. Make sure to set
Images Only as
your Export option and in the Slices field choose Export
Slices. If you
want all slices exported, make sure that Export Selected
Slices is NOT
checked.
If you don't want unsliced areas also exported, also make
sure Include
areas without slices is not checked.
