Save for web not working on mac

Hi Everyone,
I am giving photoshop elements 8 a trial but can't get the save for web to work. When I click File -> Save for web it does nothing?
Does anyone have any suggestions why this would be the case?
I downloaded the trial today for Mac and have installed it twice with no joy.
Cheers
Luke

To do this, press and hold in the cmd + opt key and go through the menu and click File<Save For Web. A dialog will come up saying something like "Are you sure you want to erase all of the preferences for Save For Web". Click "Yes" to the dialog that comes up.
I just tried this. No dialog box appeared.
I am loading the software onto my MacBook Pro now, which is running 10.6. Hopefully I can use it on that machine, though I do a majority of my work on this one.
eta: The Save for Web dialog is appearing on my MacBook Pro.
Of course, now I can't get the Loop checkbox to toggle, or the Frame Delay to change for the animated GIF I am trying to create. *sigh* Now I shall start searching the forum for a solution to that problem.
OK, I just found this:
Unfortunately this is broken in PSE 6 and PSE 8. You can tab into the frame delay box if you start above it someplace on that side of the screen, and it appears to let you change the rate, but your choice doesn't really affect the actual frame rate. The only workaround is to duplicate frame layers that you want to stay onscreen longer (so it will be changing just as fast, but not visibly).
Seriously? This is the MAIN REASON I bought PSE. To do animated GIFs. I can't believe that Adobe isn't bothering to fix this problem.

Photoshop CS6 Save for Web not working

I am using photoshop CS6 (cloud) on Mac (10.7.5) and when I use the Save For Web > save, i got the following popup :
---- Adobe Save For Web Error ----
Could not complete this operation. An unknown operating system error has occurred.
I have been using CS6 for months and it worked fine yesterday before shutting done. Today morning at startup it was not working anymore.
I have tried to uninstalled and reinstalled photoshop, clear my presets, shut down/started up, repair disk, repair permissions,... without succes.
The save for web function still works in CS5.
Any help will be very much appreciated,
Raphaël K.

I found the solution (took forever to consolidate all the answers) for OS X 10.9 + Maverick. Finally!
1. Change permissions (as AOTPR says) to your User/Library/Preferences file so that your admin and user (the one you are using) has read + write permissions within the Get Info pane (command+I). You may have to add them with the sign.
2. Delete Adobe save for web 12.0 Prefs & Adobe save for web 13.0 Prefs files within the User/ Library/ Preferences folder. These may be hidden for some people, so when in a finder window, hold Option(alt) and click Go from the main top menu (keep holding Option/Alt) and click Library — the full Preferences folder should open for you.
3. Change the view when in Save for web pane in PS. If you have it in Cover Flow — it won't work. Change it to another view like List or Columns view.
Presto! Works for me on Maverick.
Thank god. It took forever to get this cleared up!!

"Save for Web" not working (again)

I have reinstalled Photoshop CC and removed all "save for Web" preference files.
I receive the following error message:
"The operation could not be completed. A file or directory already exists with the same name"
Which file or directory?
Wouldn't it ask if I want to "overwrite" the file?
Running
Photoshop CC 14.2.1 x64
Mac OSX 10.9.2
Before you roll your eyes and say "Watch the video" about removing preferences files - I have done all of that, in addition to reinstalling Photoshop CC twice.
It is the second time this has happened to me in a year. Now Illustrator is also misbehaving when I try to "Save for Web".
"Save for Web" is a really important feature for me - I am a freelancer doing graphics and web.
Anybody have any Ideas? Is this a common problem? Is Adobe working on it? Is it a Mavericks problem?
Thanks...

Okay for anybody who is interested - the ONLY thing left for me to do - and what I have done - is to create a new User account and copy all my files to the new account.
I did this by copying the files first to the "shared" folder in Users. - not simply by moving them but by copying them - Important!
There was a suggestion somewhere that you could delete the User with the problem, create a user with the same name and then reincorporate the old user data into the new account - this did not work for me.
Removing all the various Preferences mentioned in 3-4 similar posts from people with the same problem did not help.
I even contacted Adobe Customer Assistance (chat), they took over my screen and after trying the above and more, the only thing left that worked was for them to create a new User test account. This worked.
But what a botherto move everything! iTunes, iPhoto, Mail - they all have to be moved in a certain way (do your research).
Another tip - to be safe, I have kept the old account and maintained it as "Administrator" - and changed the password.
My new User (Where I moved my files to and will work out of) is not an Administrator account, and has a totally different password.
I don't believe I was "hacked" - I think a log somewhere got corrupted.

Save for web not working for .PNG?

When I slice up a .psd file and then go file > save for web and select to save the images as .png it does not work for some reason. No matter what I select it only uses jpeg. I am using Photoshop CS2.
Any suggestions?

As Zeno said, file format selection is per slice, not a global override. Select al lslices, then pick the PNG options.

Color management in Save for Web not working

The Save for Web dialog box in the CS6 Beta is ignoring color profiles, so color is not managed. This has not been a problem in previous versions.

The saved output is just fine. I was referring to the images in the Save for Web dialogue
I just checked my settings. CS6 apparently changed my Preview setting from "Use Document Profile" to "Monitor Color." It also changed my Metadata setting. It should not do that!
Restoring the correct Preview setting solved the color management problem, but ONLY for the Preview image. The Original image is still not color managed.
I'm on a wide-gamut monitor, so sRGB images come out looking garish if there's no color profile embedded or it's ignored. That's what's happening here with the Original image in Save for Web. I imported an sRGB image with profile embedded, and it looks just fine in Photoshop while editing. Then I went to Save for Web, with the settings Embed Color Profile, Convert to sRGB, and Preview: Use Document Profile. The JPEG preview too looks just fine with these settings, but the Original looks garish, showing a lack of color management. The color in the two views is showing as completely different, though they both represent the same image with the same color profile embedded.
Going back to CS5, the same image is properly color managed in both Original and Preview. Both images show identical color, as they should.

16.2.1 - save for web not working

I thought it was ME or some setting, and so I wasted an hour not getting web images. Save for Web LOOKS like it's working, but when I open those images up they are now at 300dpi. I need this to work. Has no one else encountered this?
I'm on 10.8.5, 3.33 GHz 6-Core.

14.2.1 update Save for Web not working

Opening up an image I made moments ago through Save for Web dialog (as a normal 'web' 72 dpi image) returns a 300dpi image every time. Not functioning. This happens every time since the update to 14.2.1. I thought it must be me somehow, but it is the software.
I am running 10.8.5 on a 6-core 3.33 GHz

Yes, I am serious.
When I want to save a JPEG that has a particular ppi value I use File - Save As.
So I ask again: What is your use for your images that you're using Save for Web and care about the ppi? Perhaps there's another way to get what you want rather than through Save For Web.
I'm not being critical - I promise. I just thought maybe I could suggest alternatives.
-Noel
P.S., The ppi normally doesn't matter when images are displayed on the web. HTML usually is used to size images by pixels or points.

Save for Web not working on MacBook Pro

Just got a new MacBook Pro (OSX 10.5.7) and installed my CS3 Design Premium Premium, with PS Extened. Save for web window comes up fine and I can access and change any setting. The problem comes when I hit Return and the window pops up asking where to save the file. It doesn't let me click on anything or even hit Enter to let it save where is.
I've trashed the Save for web prefs and restarted PS without any luck.
Any ideas? TIA.
Mike

Trash your Photoshop preferences. Refer to the FAQs if you don't know how.

PSE 8 MAC save for web not working

I upgrade from PSE6, and I used to use save for web all the time. Since I upgraded to 8, when I click on save for web it does nothing, no error, just nothing. I saw in the form were a user had the same issue with 6 and I tried deleting the files and fixing permissions etc. Anyone else having this problem, or any suggestions?
thanks,
charles

I had the same issue. Running in a non-admin account I was unable to do a Save for Web. I switched to my admin account and it worked there. When I switched back to my non-admin account it now works ok. As an aside, same situation with changing the program icon for PSE 8.

Save for web not working

Hi
I 'saved for web' once and all OK when using the resultant quicktime webpage to check. Now this page just shows a green screen in the embedded video and only plays a loud static noise.
No changes made to location of files. I tried it again but no joy. In the finder the computer video has a different icon (a musical note) to the iPhone m4v and iphone (cellular) 3gp files(thumbnails of movie) and these two files play ok. I don't know what settings to alter if any. Another movie exported fine to the same drive.
Any ideas on where to start?
Cheers
Chris

The original movie file came from iMovie. It is quite large and I had trouble 'sharing' it. However that done it plays in QuickTime. I have now imported it to Adobe Premier and exported it (with a different file name) as an mp4v file (which it was before). On saving for web with Quicktime the version for computer still doesn't work.
Anything else?

Save for web preview not working in Photoshop CS4

Hello all.
I'm having a problem with Save for Web in Photoshop 11.0.2. Basically, whenever I move to save an image using "Save for Web & Devices," the preview window is stuck in GIF mode. I can move the Preset settings to any of the choices, and also change to any of the 5 image types underneath, but only a GIF setting at 100% dither/Selective palette/256 colors preview will show in the preview window.
I have trashed both the Adobe Save for Web 11.0 Prefs and the com.adobe.Photoshop.plist files, and have repaired permissions, but this doesn't resolve the problem.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

I fixed the problem by erasing "Save for Web" from within Photoshop rather than outside in the file tree.

CS4 Save For Web not the right size

I'm having problems with Illustrator images when I use the Save For Web. The image size always comes out the same size as my artboard. In other words I set up a new document to be letter size, create my drawing within that document. My drawing is only about 300 px by 150 px. When I Save for Web my image is the same size as the document or artboard not my drawing. Is this something new in CS4? Do I have a preference set incorrectly? The only way I have found to get rid of the background is to adjust the size of the artboard manually. Is there a way to adjust the artboard to fit my drawing automatically, like cropping to an object in Photoshop?

CS,
Basically the same issue was up, and answered, recently here:

Slices in Save for Web not highlighting when selected in Photoshop CS5.5

Lately I've just noticed when I select slices in Save for Web the newly selected areas do not highlight in their normal yellow colour. They are however selected and save correctly if I do save them. If I toggle slice visibility off and back on again they selected slices become highlighted but it's kind of a pain. Have I done something to cause this or is this a known issue with one of the updates?
