Save acts as "Save As"

Hello all.
Can anyone explain this to me: In Illustrator CS4, from time to time I will be working on a document, and then go to save it, but instead of the usual "Save", the program acts as though I've selected "Save As". The result is that I have to write the same file overtop of the existing file!
Makes no sense to me....?

B,
You may try to go through the following list (you may have tried/done some of them already) and see whether it helps (the following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file; 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences).
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

On a PDF form, Save acts as if Save-As

Windows XP SP3
Adobe Reader 10.1.1.33
I have started to fill out my U.S. federal tax forms for this year, just the names and address and a few checkboxes. These are savable PDF files that I downloaded and saved from the IRS Web site. I am doing this offline, in Adobe Reader not in my Web browser
When I go to save the result, I get a Save As file-selection window. I get this either by selecting the Save button on the toolbar or [File > Save] on the menubar. I am not selecting [File > Save As] on the menubar.
Selecting Save (not Save As) should save the file back into the same file that was openned. I should not get a Save As file-selection window.
Is this intentional, or is this a bug?
By the way, how can I submit a bug report on this? I went to Adobe's Bugbase, but the pull-down list of products did not include Adobe Reader.

Download a US IRS tax form from http://apps.irs.gov/app/picklist/list/formsPublications.html. I suggest searching on that site for Form 1040.
Open the PDF file for the tax form in Adobe Reader and fill-in some data. No, the data does not have to be realistic. Save the PDF file. Close Adobe Reader. Double-click on the PDF file to open it again in Adobe Reader. Fill-in some more data and change some of the data you previously inserted. On the Adobe Reader menu bar, select [File > Save], NOT [File > Save As].

Firefox stops responding when trying to "save page" or "save image"

Windows 7 64 bit and Firefox 28. When trying to 'Save Page' or 'Save Image' the save dialogue window is nearly blank, then info bar shows 'not responding'. I have tried all the tips in the support pages. Resetting Firefox, Starting Firefox in 'Safe Mode'. Upgrading graphics driver to latest version. Turning off 'Hardware Acceleration' in options. Nothing resolves the problem. This issue has only recently started, the last time I tried saving an image it worked fine, certainly prior to Microsoft's most recent 'upgrade Tuesday'.
Edit:
Checked the save dates of the last images I successfully saved from within Firefox and compared them to my windows update log. The Microsoft March 'Update Tuesday' was installed on March 14th. My last successfully saved Firefox images were saved the following day on March 15th. Thus it is unlikely that the Firefox saving issue is a result of a Windows Update corruption. So the question is what changes have Mozilla made to Firefox between 15th and 24th March 2014 ???

I understand that finding a root cause is ideal, and I would be happy to further investigate this with you.
Since it is still happening in Safe Mode [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-issues-with-plugins-fix-problems please try to troubleshoot the plugins and extensions]
The other route is to troubleshoot the downloads folder and antivirus to make sure the downloading of the image is not having an issue either. [http://mzl.la/LJ0h2w]
In the meantime there is an add on that enables this [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/save-images/ Save Images]
Please post back with your results, there have been other reports, but no issue filed yet.

File Format Plugin - "Save As" vs "Save"....

I have a format plugin that I would like to have triggered with File->SAVE.
With only one layer in the document, Ctrl-S (Save) *does* call my plugin. So far so good.
BUT if the document has more than one layer, then Ctrl-S pops up a dialog, with .PSD as the default file type. i.e., "Save" behaves like "Save As". Thats not what I want.
Lets say that my own file format plugin can handle multiple layers.
Any ideas on how I can get "Save" to save, without popping up a dialog each time? I looked through the documentation, for a way to specify my custom file format as a multi-layer file format. No luck. Any clues are appreciated.
Thanks.

Might You have set »Append File Extension« to »Never« in Preferences - File Handling by any Chance?

Cannot save as or save new documents in Office:mac

Cannot save as or save new documents in Office:mac.

Your profile says 10.7.3 which is Lion. 10.6 is Snow Leopard.
If that's the case and you did a security update via software update last week that also caused problems for many. Apple have issued an update to that as well, version 1.1:
Security Update 2012-001 (Snow Leopard)

Photo losing color/contrast when using "save as" to save it.

When I first started using CS6 I would edit my photos and when I used "save as" to save my photos then open them in a different photo viewer they would have lost a lot of color and contrast. When I reopened them in CS6 they still had no color. This is all occured on my PC. I used to use PSE 7 (on my PC) and the "save as" function to save them and they turned out fine. I recently got an iMac and when saved on there the same way and reopened in a different viewer they'd have the correct color, but when opened on my PC the color would be lost again. Also tried opening the images I saved on my PC in CS6 on the iMac and they still had no colo/contrast. So that would mean it's not a monitor calibration thing. I'm trying to figure out how to save my photos so they have the best quality they can have for printing and also the correct color for clients to view on their computers. Hope this all makes sense, it's a little confusing. Any help is much appreciated!! Thanks!
PS: I did use the "save for web" option on my PC and the photos have the correct color that way! But those aren't the proper size and stuff for printing. Also I'm very new to iMac and full photoshop so I'm not sure what sizes/pixels/color modes/etc are normal or what photos are supposed to be.

It has to do with embedded profiles and what app you are using to open on PC

Reader does a "save as" instead of a "save" on first save of an enabled form

I have a form created using LC Designer and extended using Acrobat (Save As Other --> Reader Extended PDF --> Enable More Tools).
When I enter data using Adobe Reader and File-->Save, it behaves as though I had selected "Save As". If I want to overwrite the file, it prompts me to confirm. From then on, when I save it behaves as expected (i.e. it automatically overwrites the file with my changes). If I close the file and open it again, then make changes, then save, it does a "save as" again.
I don't want it to handle "save" as a "save as". Anyone know a way to avoid this behaviour?

Yes, when I enter data in the form using Reader I am forced to use Save As. The Save button causes an error message saying the form is either read only or already open. Shouldn't the Save button just save the file?

Save PDF not Save As

I open a PDF file (Any Type of PDF file) into Acrobat reader 10 or 11 and add a comment. If I click the "Save" button the "Save As" dialog pops up. Why? Tried Adobe Support but they do not support any free products. I told them that I have a paid subscription as well but wanted to know why this didn't work. I told support I think it is a bug but he just referred me to a bug report form.
Does anyone have a work around for this issue. The person I'm helping doesn't have Acrobat (Full) but needs to be able to add Comments and just save the file - Not Save As

Sabian - I've tried all types of PDF files on 3 different computers, 2 of which were 32 bit XP machines and 1 that was 64bit Windows 7. The 2 - 32bit machines on XP had Reader 11.0.07 and the 64 bit Windows 7 had Reader 10. I still get the same result. So would it be possible for you take a snap shot of the PDF security properties and maybe a few screen shots of your preferences?
Let me clarify - You opened a PDF file, Made a comment and click the save disk icon or click "Save" under the file menu? And it just saved the document with no Windows Explorer window popping up with "Save As" and the ability to change the file name etc.
I really can't figure it out.

Downloading is started before pressing save button on save as dialog.

I select "Always ask me where to save files" radio button in Options menu. And when I download something, I notice that transferring is started before I press save button on "Save as" dialog. Is there any way to prevent the pre-caching before pressing save button?
Thanks

Sorry, not that I have ever seen mentioned in this forum. Firefox has always done that when "Ask me ...." is selected in Options.
Are you having any particular problems with downloads being started before you select a specific location for the "final resting place" for the download?

Every time I save a file "save as" my folders, etc. come up scrambled. I want them to be alphabetical every time. How can this be set? or done?

Every time I save a file "save as" my folders, lists etc. come up scrambled. I want them to be alphabetical every time. How can this be set? or fixed? I do NOT want to use Recent or click "set up details" everytime and then alphabetize the list, because this takes too long and too many clicks.
Yes, I want to be asked where to save a file every time.
I am using XP

Sure EVERY TiME you save you can click on details then name and then 3rd click to bring it up alphabetical ( which may be backwards Z-A) then save. And then the next time you save you can do again. I want it to always, forever come up alphabetical like everything does on my computer when i save things.

___When I have a multi page Ai file and 'Save as', it saves more than just the page I specified

When I have a multi page Ai fil e (50 pages) and 'Save as', it saves more than just the single page I specified (ie. Range 1-1)... it saves all 50 over again? How do I just save 1 of the 50?

Just answered my own question - if I use 'Save a copy' it works... must be a glitch

After upgrade to Lion, iPhoto will not save events nor save albums after created.

After upgrade to Lion, iPhoto will not save events nor save albums after created. Once iPhoto is shut down and re-launched, albums and events created no longer exist. How can this be fixed?
Also, when attempting to create cards, iPhoto freezes.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

"Save as" versus "Save a copy"

Why two things that do the same thing?

I'll think it's not the same.
"Save As..." renames the file on saving.
"Save a copy" save a copy the file with a new name and let the original files as it is.

Action & Droplet "save as" vs "save as web" not working - Possible bug?

Before I state the issue, I am running the latest updates and have tried this in Photoshop CS4 & CS5.
I believe this is a bug in Photoshop, unless someone can get this Action & droplet to work right.
Here's the issue:
I create an Action with the "Save as Web & Devices" and save the image as a PNG. Then create a Droplet and set the destination as "Folder" with a destination different from the source file, and check Override Action "Save As" Commands and use File Naming with Document Name + _H50 + extension (example: MyFile_H50.gif). The file naming convention I made doesn't carry over to the processed images.
However this droplet will work with the Action when I use the "Save As" command, but not the "save as web & devices" option. Has anyone came across this issue or know how to fix it?
The difference between "save as" and "Save as web" is a 3kb files size plus the "_H50" naming convention is not used.
Here's a detailed process of my action and creation of the droplet:
CREATION OF ACTION:
1.) I have a .TGA file open with alpha channel layer.
2.) I set the selection to the alpha channel, go back to the layers panel, double click layer, Set backgound to Layer 0, Inverse the selection, delete the background, trim image to transparent pixels, change image size to a fixed height of 50 pixels.
Here's the variable step that works or doesn't work depending if I choose "Save as" or "Save as Web & Devices"
3.) File > "Save as Web & Devices", save image as PNG w/ alpha, and select my "processed images" folder & save, close original image without saving.
CREATION OF DROPLET:
1.) Save droplet location, Play action with include subfolders, Suppress file open options dialog, Suppress Color profile warnings.
2.) Destination: Select a folder
3.) Use File Naming: Document Name + _H50 + extension
4.) Save log errors.
Next I drag some images onto the droplet, it processes the images into the folder but doesn't use the File Naming convention.
Now, if I use the "save as" command in the action and create the droplet the same way, it works!
The difference between "save as" and "Save as web" is a 3kb files size plus the "_H50" naming convention is not used.
What the heck is going on? Please Help
-Josh

The following example action and droplet may give you
an idea how to do this with one droplet.
The idea is to make an intermediate folder to save the renamed psds to.
Then use save for web to save the psds as pngs in a different folder.
1. Make a folder to hold the psd files (temp psd in the example droplet)
2. Open one of your targa files and record the steps to prepare your file
    (loading the channel selection, trim, etc)
3. Save your file as a psd.
4. Now save the file using save for web to the folder where you want your
final pngs to be (saved for web in the example action) and don't change
the file name when saving.
5. Go to the folder where you saved the png using save for web and delete that file.
   (so you don't get an overwrite message when using your droplet)
6. When creating the droplet, specify the name you want the saved pngs to be and
   choose the destination folder where the psds will be saved. (temp psd)
The end result of all this, should save your files, renamed as psds (to a folder)
and save for web should save the renamed psds as pngs, to the place
you saved the file using save for web.
One drawback of all this, you end up with a folder full of psds.
You could just delete the psd files inside the folder after each run.

Hope this helps.

MIR7 u2013 Difference between Save Parked Document & Save as Completed.

Hi,
We are testing the T Code MIR7. When we click on Simulate, on the Simulation window, there are two buttons, Save Park Document & Save as competed. When we click Save Park Document, the system is displaying the following message:
The Tax Code is not valid.
The tax code entered is not defined in the country for this company.
Please note that we have maintained the Tax Code.
But when we click on the Save as competed, the system is giving us no error message and we are able to save (park) the document which is visible in Purchase Order History as Parked
And using T Code MIR4, we are posting the Document.
Is this the correct way?
And what is the difference between these two: Save Park Document & Save as competed.
Please guide.
Regards,

Check tax code assigned to country using FTXP.
Check program help documentation in t.code MIR7 itself for differences.
