Safari is unable to save in HTML (source page option) offline webarchives

Hello!
Some years ago I made a very difficult and prolonged research: I found over 1500 web pages of medical researches and I stored it on the hard disk, using safari.
I didn't know that its default format file is .webarchive.
Now I have these 1500 .webarchive files and I need to use it on other PCs (also Windows and Linux systems), and they take 800 MB on my pendrive! (webarchive are bigger than imageless html files).
I need to convert them in HTML format.
Only 3 methods exist in the world:
1) from terminal: textutil -convert html FILENAME.webarchive. I drag and drop 10 files a time in the webarchive window after the command string, but it converts about 5-6 files on 10: for the other it gives an error. Some files are impossible to convert using this method.
2) WebArchive folderizer: I could drag and drop all the webarchive files on its small window: it will convert each webarchive file in a folder with the same name of the file. Then I could select all the folders, use FINDER's search function letting it find just HTML files and then move them in a folder and delete all the subfolders.
But the HTML files extracted do not keep the original filename! This is important for me, because I need that each file must have the name of the medical research. I'll have to find (reading a list made in neooffice) the files and read them: over 1500 files, and it will need lots of time make an internal file text search method each time!
3) Webarcher: it converts the files in .war format, not html. It is compatible with Windows, but it keeps the images, like a webarchive, and the space requied is high too.
The method that I could use is this:
Open the file with Safari in OSX, and re-save it in the "source page" (HTML) format... but.... SURPRISE!!!
If I open a web-page with Safari, and I choose "save as...", it let me choose the format (html or webarchive).
If I open a hard disk stored page with Safari, and I choose "save as...", the small menu in which I should choice the format... disappears!!!
This happened years ago... now the OS X is newer... the Safari is newer... but the problem is the same!
How could I solve it?
Is this a bug?
Thank you!

Since Safari is able to save as HTML file a page if it is opened online (from web), making "Save as...", and it is unable to make so if the webarchive file is on the hard disk...I tried to upload on a web server some .webarchive files.
Then I went online in the web page with the list of all the uploaded .webarchive files... (ex.: http://....filename1.webarchive, etc...)...
My goal was to open ONLINE (not on hard disk) the files and then make "save as...",... but... SURPRISE!!! Safari is UNABLE to open a webarchive file from the web, it asks me where to save the file... it can only save it, it writes that it is an "application"...
I think this happens because .webarchive is not a real web page but a "package"... but my displeasure is this:
Once opened an hard disk's webarchive file, its content is loaded in ram and it appears like a normal web page (html + images + etc...)... so, in this moment, Safari should be able to save it "as...." HTML file too.... discarding images and other objects....
Any advice?
Thank you!!!

  • Java app to save html source and copy to clipboard

    I'm new to Java, and I'm doing a research paper which requires gathering data from the internet. I basically need to learn commands to create an app (which I will execute on a daily basis using Windows scheduler) to do the following task:
    1. Access a specific URL
    2. Save the HTML source as a text file
    3. Copy some of the text in the saved text file to the clipboard in Windows
    4. Paste this data in Excel
    5. Run a macro in Excel to sort the data
    I know enough VBA and Excel functions to parce the data, but if it is easier to use Java to sort the data into columns and rows in Excel, I would like to learn how to do that too.
    I'm running Windows XP. My friend tells me to download Dr. Java to edit .java files and also the SDK to compile the files. He also told me to find modules from the internet which I can use, but I'm not sure how to go about it. (I tried searching on the net but didn't get the hits I wanted.)
    Any help at this point would be much appreciated.

    If your target html is so fancy and complicated(table cell contain another table) or the table miss some <tr> or <td> tags, dividing the table into rows and column can be a difficult task.
    I recommend you choose the website with high download speed. Otherwise, you have to write more code to handle any loading failure.
    I recommend you use httpunit to get webpage with Java program. (There is usually proxy server in University, you can config the parameter for proxy server in the Java program calling httpunit)

    It will take some times to learn those Java technique.

    Hi Mat,
    SharePoint 2010 has "Connect to Office" command which could add a library shortcut icon under Favorit folder per the following article, then we can new document from local and save to sharepoint shortcut folder.
    Read more information about "Connect to Office" from article below.

    SharePoint 2013 introduces OneDrive folder, which works different from SharePoint 2010. SharePoint folder shortcut is still exist but it is under folder C:\Users\Administrator.CONTOSO\SharePoint Sites, and it doesn't show in
    Favorite folder, if we want to show SharePoint library shortcut in "Save As" dialog left hand, currently per my knowledge we could only manually create a folder shortcut and add to Favorite folder for more convenient.
    Another similar post I have done which may help you understand this function.

  • New Safari 2.0.3 displays some Router Firmware pages as HTML Source text

      Hello Safari users and gurus.
    I installed the new 10.4.4 Combo Updater yesterday, preceded and followed by permissions repairs and other maintenance, including cleaning Safari Caches. Safari 2.0.3 works.
    My problem: 10.4.4's new Safari 2.0.3 displays HTML source text after I click "Save" from within my Linksys (latest firmware) router's web based administration pages that worked correctly with the previous version of Safari.
    When I check or change my router settings, the initial router settings pages appear as they did with the previous version of Safari. However, with 10.4.4's new Safari 2.0.3, as soon as I click "Save" to attempt to save a changed router setting, the confirming info from the router is displayed as HTML source code instead of the expected HTML page display.
    If I wait for the router lights to indicate activity has ceased and then reload the router's opening admin address, the page opens again normally, and I can navigate to other pages and see that the changes have been saved. However, any click on any "Save" changes button in the router's pages delivers another page of HTML source text.
    I will watch for future router firmware updates to see whether the issue is resolved from the Linksys side.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for improvement now? All assistance will be appreciated.
    EZ Jim

     Thanks glefand. As you suggested, I tried my old iBook G3 that is still running 10.3.9, and it works fine for me.
    My G5 DP also worked normally up through OS X 10.4.3. My problem only began after I installed the 10.4.4 update. I think the Safari update included with the 10.4.4 update is what is causing the issue with the firmware pages on my Linksys router.
    Hopefully a future router firmware update (or Safari update?) will restore proper operation. If not, I will continue to reload from the router's Start page. The need to work around this glitch is annoying, but the actual function of my router setup works without problem, even though the pages do not display properly.
    Thanks again for your helpful suggestion,

  • Still unable to save bookmarks in Safari 5.1.2 - any clues?

    Starting with Safari 5.1.1 on Lion I have been unable to save any bookmarks after an initial few hours running when it has been possible. I had hoped that the new release of Safari 5.1.2 might have cured the problem, but it doesn't appear to have done so.
    I've followed all the suggestions on various posts and cleared the numerous plists and caches. This results in being able to save bookmarks in the normal manner, but only for a few hours or so. The next time I open Safari I find that I am once again unable to save any bookmarks without going through the whole rigmarole of exporting the bookmarks, trashing all the Safari preferences, restarting Safri and importing all the bookmarks once again.
    It's great if you have the time and the patience, but my patience is wearing very thin by now.
    Does anyone have any definitive solutions to this problem, which happens on all my Macs running Lion and Safari 5.1, thus ruling out a problem with just one Mac?

  • Discoverer Report unable to Save As

    Hi,
    I am unable to save a Discoverer Report using Discoverer Viewer ?
    Its giving the following error message.
    Please help.
    "The application encountered an invalid state.
    OracleBI Discoverer Viewer was unable to find the necessary data for displaying
    the results of this event. Please correct any errors and try again.
    Error Encountered"
    Regards
    Ram

    Hi Ram
    Most likely you are on either a non-upgraded or old cumulative patch version of Discoverer. This issue happens a lot on the out-of-the-box Discoverer - 10.1.2.48.18 but goes away when you upgrade to 10.1.2.2. You should also patch up to the most recent cumulative patch, which as of today is CP8.

  • Unable to save a report that includes a datasource of "Microsoft SQL azure" type

    I have install SSRS in azure using the following instructions (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn449661.aspx) and all seems to work fine, however when I create a report in report builder 2014 (in this case empty) that includes a Microsoft SQL Azure
    datasource type I am unable to save the report and get the following error message (even though when I test connection it succeeds). 
    "The report definition was saved, but one or more errors occurred while setting the report properties"
    Reports with standard sql datasources work fine.
    I have also tried creating the report using Visual Studio 2013 and get a similar error message.
    I have tried this using SQL 2012 and SQL 2014 and get the same error.
    Does anybody know how I can create a report with Microsoft SQL Azure datasource type?

    Hi jamesla,
    Based on my research, the issue can be caused by a deleted shared data source still exist under the Data Sources list in Report Builder. For more details about this scenario, we can refer to the following thread:
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/7170dbee-048c-4298-89ba-df4d42924c8e/the-report-definition-was-saved-but-one-or-more-errors-occurred-while-setting-report-properties?forum=sqlreportingservices
    Since the error message without detail information, we can try to render the report to see the detail error message. Besides, we can try to check it in the log file. The SQL Reporting Services log files are found on the reporting services point server, in
    the folder %programfiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\<SQL Server Instance>\Reporting Services\LogFiles.
    For more information about how to use Microsoft SQL azure as the data source of a report, please see:

  • I am unable to save my form responses as a pdf or excel file.

    I am unable to save my form responses as a pdf or excel file.  The error message states: Acrobat.com could not save this file. The file might be open in another application and cannot be overwritten.

    Did saving ever work or did it fail the first time you tried?
    Have you tried to save to multiple locations?  Maybe it has something to do with permissions on the directory you are trying to save to.
    Have you tried saving something from another web site to the same location?  Try creating and saving a file in/from https://workspaces.acrobat.com/app.html#o and see if that has the same result.
    Thanks,

  • DW 8.0 OS 10.4.6 Network Home Folder unable to save

    We have clients running 10.4.6 and MM DW8.0. The users have
    home folders on windows servers running Extremezip. The clients
    connect to ad using the Active Directory plugin in directory access
    and mount the home folders using AFP.
    When creating a site, the error message appear when trying to
    build the site cache.. "Unable to write to cahce file
    "Students1:Test:username:Library:Application
    Support:Macromedia:Dreamweaver 8:Configuration:SiteCache:Test.dws"
    I have checked this folder, and the user has read/write
    access to that folder. The file(s) and folder(s) are created
    though.
    When I then try to save a HTML file in the users home folder,
    I receive the following error "Access to
    Students1:Test:username:Documents:web site:test.html" was denied...
    Again, the user does have read/write access to these folders, but
    the files are NOT created.
    Redirection of the users cache folders where taking place,
    but caused issues with final cut pro and several adobe applicatons
    as well as microsoft applications. This folder redirection has been
    disabled and all ~/Library/Caches data is stored on the users home
    folder.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I don't know if this is relevant but myself and some other users have been experiencing a problem since 10.5.5 where machines randomly kernel panic or freeze at logout.
    Our issues are related to the SMB protocol in an Active Directory environment.
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8341273#8341273
    Also for those experiencing high CPU load related to AFP there is a long thread here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8298601#8298601
    I finally resolved my high AFP load issues (8 Xeons maxing out) but i'm not entirely sure which tweak fixed it, I think it might have been a setting on the XServe RAID, disabling "Allow Host Cache Flushing".
    Hope this helps.

  • Unable to save a copy of encrypted pdf with Acrobat Pro 10.0

    However Acrobat Reader (basic) allows me to do so.

  • The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again

    Having created a new custom list (even with only a text field) I am unable add new items to the list - the error message is Unexpected
    response from server. The status code of response is '0'. The status text of response is ''. when in 'quick edit'.
    If I try to add or modify an item in the list by clicking 'add new item' I get "The
    server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again."
    I have restarted the Sharepoint Search Host Controller server but to no avail. I have 24Gb RAM for this server so it's not a
    memory issue (8Gb available). I have also tried from various browsers including Chrome and Safari - still the same error message.
    This error only occurs on lists. I can edit document properties in a library and have no problems with calendar entries.
    There are no entries in the event viewer, so where do I need to begin looking to find out what is (or rather is not) happening?

    One thing I noticed in SP 2013 is that if your list has unique permissions and a user/group has permissions only on that list and has limited or no access at the site level, then you run into this error: "The server was unable to save the form at this time.
    Please try again."
    This can be resolved by either giving that user/group atleast read access at the site level or in my case I had to create a new permission set (since we cant update limited access permission set) which is same as limited access but with the additional permission
    of "Use Remote Interfaces  -  Use SOAP, Web DAV, the Client Object Model or SharePoint Designer interfaces to access the Web site."
    I am not sure if this is a bug or as per design, but not allowing a user who has needed permissions at the list level but limited access at site level doesnt seem right. Never ran into this issue in prior version of SharePoint. I tested and this additional
    permission doesnt seem to violate any security at site level. But implement this at your risk. No guarantees provided and not responsible for any issues with this implementation if any.

  • Pse 5 unable to save edits

    I have hade pse 5 for several years.  All of a sudden, I can't save edits.  I get error message, "Unable to save.  Computer error."  What to do?

    Thank you for your response.
    I'll reinstall PSE and see what happens.  The error message has changed to "an error in the program has occurred."  Doesn't state which error, but does lead to the conclusion that reinstalling would be a good idea.
    >>> TinkerTinkerUK <[email protected]> 11/2/2009 1:38 AM >>>
    Not clear if this problem relates to all edits or just one or two pictures. My suggested acton is
    1) use Vista to copy these pictures to somewhere safe (CD/DVD, another computer).
    2) make another copy of the picture e.g. copy fred.jpg to fred_xx.jpg; and see if edit works on the new file.
    The key thing at the moment must be to save the pictures.
    Once the pictures are secure then you can worry about PSE. If the pictures are OK then my next move would be to reinstall PSE5 (this will not have any impact on albums or configurations as you are only reloading the source code)
    The fact that you do not have other copies of pictures highlights the need for backups and file management of pictures. My action is always to bring all the pictures (good and bad) from the camera into a picture_download file which is stored on two different hard drives (in my case a separate computer). I then copy the pictures to the Adobe work area and do all the deletions, corrections there. Hence, if disaster strikes, I can always go back to the original.

    Do you want to be able to pull up the HTML source generated by Apex, modify that copy, and then feed it back into Apex with the chagnes you made? If so you can't. Apex generates the HTML through its tools and you have to modify the generation routines to get different HTML.
    Do you merely want to look at the generated HTML? In Internet Explorer all you have to do is right click on the page and choose View Source to open a window with the HTML source in an editor. I sometimes find it useful to save a page and manually edit the copy to immediately see the effects of certain changes to the underlying HTML and/or Javascript without permanantly making the change in Apex.
