Unable to save a pages file

Creating a 10 page newsletter in Pages 09. Unable to save the file even though it has previously been saved on the same computer. Unable save, save as, or email the file. Any suggestions?

Hello
It would be fine to get the exact message which you get.
An odd behavior was described several times : the system refuse to save the doc even when the user try to export it.
If like me you have two versions installed : one running in French and one running in English, you may try to copy from one version to the other one. It's the unique way giving a chance to keep everything.
The problem with this behavior is that, as we can't save, there is no way to study the file's content to check if there is something corrupted in it.
It's a really annoying f
"feature" because it will be very difficult to understand what fails and so build a way to get rid of it.
At this time, the best workaround is to use an autosave tool creating incremental backups.

Preflight keeps saying "Unable to save the PDF File after post processing"

I'm at a loss how to overcome this. Spent almost a whole day, together with another person, trying to fix it with no success!
I use Adobe pro CC on a PC
I usually receive pdf files from this one client who edits and formats a book in Mac Pages. Up until a few days ago I had no problems converting the client's pdfs into pdf/x3, but the last three versions of the latest file have stumped me.
Just to test, I first just tried to convert the file (33MB), unchanged, to pdf/x3 using the save as other option - message reads "the document has been saved, however, it could not be converted according to the selected standard profile: convert to PDF/X. Please use preflight with the profile "Convert to PDF/X" in order to identify those properties of the document which prevent it from being compliant to this profile"
if I then choose under Profiles - convert to PDF/X3 - it says no problems found, and appears to have saved the file. If I try to save again as a pdf/x3, just to make sure, it then tells me it's not pdf/x3 compliant
OK - so then I go back to preflight - and choose the standards function - then pdf/x3, then continue with the default colour profile. About halfway through the conversion, at the point of saving the file, I get the message "unable to save the pdf file after post processing"
So far I've had no luck figuring out what this is.
I then choose the option of "verify compliance of ppdf/x3" - message reads "pdf/x3 version key (GTS_PDFXVersion) missing", and "Trapped key not true or false"
Help!! How can I be sure the file converted / or not?

Yes I was/am aware of Preflight's inability to play nicely over cloud technologies in certain cases, especially wrt Standards technologies, this will be partially addressed in an upcoming version of Preflight without saying too much. But the same thing could theoretically have happened if the file was also located on another local network client or server. Leaving aside the argument that this may violate the Acrobat User Agreement - since purchasing the software, the user agrees to employ its functionality on a single host system and precludes host-client-based scenarios - this simply is not a supported use, meaning the user may not have expectations that it will work at all, if the applications requirements are not observed. There do exist server-solutions for Preflight files within networks, but Acrobat and by extension Acrobat Preflight is not one of those solutions, and (still) belongs in the single host-based desktop environment.
However most (99.9%) functions within Acrobat <-> acrobat.com file exchange are supported, file syncing across multiple devices will soon be supported, but Standards compliance is still admittedly a problem at this point. Some testing has been done using 3rd party cloud technologies starting with enterprise-based solutions, such as Office 365, and this will continue to ramp up to include other 3rd party products.
As for the second point, Preflight will usually change the PDF version to be complaint, are you saying that it was unable to do so in this case? It seems that this error should have popped up during the normal Preflight conversion attempt. Personally I think solving a workflow problem using the print path is a little bit of a heavy-handed approach, but if helped and the results are acceptable, then that is good. Since that path is non-existent on a Mac, as one needs to Save as Adobe PDF from the Print dialog's PDF drop-down menu, I am assuming your workflow involved file creation on a Mac, then further processing on Windows using the PDF printer. I am wondering if a simple resave/Save As... to PDF with overwrite on a Mac, or Preflighting the file using a PDF version compatibility profile before the PDF/X conversion would have helped. Since there are such a multitude of methods that a PDF can be created, there are also many ways within Acrobat that a user can shape the file to be compatible with the expected workflow, ie, 'many ways to skin a cat', without being morbid.

Last time I updated pages I lost features I liked and was unable to open some pages files. Now I see the features I liked are back but I have a lot more files to worry about. Will I be able to open files created in 5.2 if I upgrade to 5.5.3?

Within reason, Pages v5.2 documents are forwards compatible with Pages v5.5.3. Apple introduced the single file format document as a default with Pages v5.5.3 which is not backwards compatible with Pages v5 on Mavericks.
However, they also provided a File > Advanced > Change File Type > {Single File, Package} menu that allows you to change the current Pages v5.5.3 document into the backwards compatible Package type document. You would follow this transformation with a File > Save operation to complete it.

how can i stop an error message that comes up when i am using word? the error message is "word is unable to save the Autorecover file in the location specified. Make sure that you have specified a valid location for Autoreover files in Preferences,…"

It sounds like if you open Preferences in Word there will be a place where you can specify where to store autorecover files. Right now it sounds like it's pointing to somewhere that doesn't exist.

You can Duplicate the file then Save it as a .doc file.
In Mountain Lion (I don't think this is in Lion), you would click on File then press the Option key to get 'Save As'.

No file size appears when I save a .pages file

When I save a .pages file there is no file size listed in the directory. In the file directory it says only -- where all the other files have a size in KB or MB listed in that column.
What's going on here?
The file can be opened without a problem. And when I right click on the listing and choose Get Info, the file size is there in that pop up window -but not in the listing.
I cannot email this file either -because, I guess, it reads the listing as an empty file.
I can convert it to a .doc file and email that, but as a .pages file I get nothing.
What's going on here?

Unable to save or download files, already tried suggested options

I'm not the most tech-savvy creature on the planet, so bear with me.
For a while now, I've been unable to save or download files using Firefox. IE isn't working either, but I only initially used IE on this computer to download Firefox anyway. I've tried the [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Unable%20to%20download%20or%20save%20files suggested options].
I'm not incapable of downloading though - Steam and the Blizzard launcher are still working as always. AVG's updating download, hoever, doesn't appear to work. On occasion, I have been able to download things - VLC Media Player and seldomly an item I attempt to download will successfully be saved. It's so infrequent and unpredictable though, that I can't reliably find out what's allowing me to do so. Needless to say, since my virus and spyware scanners appear to be borked, I'm more than a touch worried and unable to download any suggested alternatives.
When downloading a file, it will briefly appear in the location I saved it to before vanishing. I ask now because my computer's performance has seriously dropped within the last month or so, and I'm not convinced I'll be able to sort it out while I'm so thoroughly grounded without downloads.
Thanks in advance.

Hi there, I've had a java problem ever since i removed an old version thinking that i didnt need it because i had newer versions, well, i've learned alot since then, but unfortunately not enough. I play an online game called runescape. For one month now, i've been searching up on google, EVERYWHERE, trying to find help so i can play my game again.
I get up to a point where the game loads the game script, and on 100% comes up with an error "Error_loader_savefile - Unable to save to cache". I've tried everything, i've installed almost all of the java versions, I've been through environment variable settings and made sure that the PATH is pointing to a version of java, What can i do, im desperate for help, please post back.

Pages 5.1 is unable to save a new file

If I start a new Pages (5.1) document, I cannot save it. Also, if I duplicate a Pages document that I can open and continue to work on, I cannot save this duplicate document either. It does not matter what folder I select, new or existing. I get the error dialog " 'filename.pages' couldn't be moved because you don't have permission to access 'folder name'." To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info. I checked in the Finder and I have read/write permisson to any/all folders in question. This happens to all folders, including Documents. But I can continue to work on any existing Pages file and save the changes.
If I bring up Finder and make a copy of an existing Pages document that I can work with in the same folder and try to open the copy via Pages, I get the error dialog " 'filename' can't be opened" with no further explanation.
Haven't got any file system issues I know of other than this Pages error in normal computer use. I am on Mavericks 10.9.2.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Apple pushed Page 5.1 (1769) upgrade this morning. I tried that and, just like magic, the permissions issue simply dissapeared. Now Pages can create new files and save them as well as do any operation that require saving (exporting to PDF) etc. to local disk.
I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this problem, but seems like installing an update might just do the trick.
Peter, if you are reading, do you have a suggestion as to how exactly to remove Pages (including misc. system files it has on the system) so that I can force Mac App Store to reinstall Pages if this happens again.
Most people suggest clicking "Purchases" button on the App Store while holding down the 'Option' key. Since I have a mini I am using a regular PC keyboard and I tried using the Alt key instead but no luck.
Thanks.

Unable To Save Quark XPress File In Mac OS 10.2.8

I have been trying to save a layout I created using Quark XPress 6.1 on an iMac with a 10.2.8 OS. When I first created the document, I was able to save it with no problem. However, after I had done some more work on it, I tried to save the changes -- but all I got was a message that said "Cannot find required volume or folder [-35]." The folder I have been trying to save it to is still there. I then tried using Save As to save it in a different location or under a new name -- but then I get an "Unknown error [-51]."
I tried to solve the problem by consulting Help, but all I was able to find is that apparently the error is occurring with the OS, not with Quark XPress.
I spent hours working on this document and will be sick if I am unable to save it. Can anyone possibly help me? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

How big is your hard drive, and how full is it?
How big are files like the one you are trying to save?

How come, when I save a pages file as a word doc, it automatically hyphenates my text?

I'm a college student trying to write essays for my classes, and my professors all prefer word documents. When I go to export my essays from Pages 5, I have no trouble exporting it and saving it as a word file. However, when I open these files, it shows that all of my text has now been set to automatically hyphenate, and I can't find a way to change it without being forced to resave it as a Pages file. Has anybody else experienced this problem?

The fonts aren't supposed to be embedded. They are embedded.
After that, you may have applications proving that they are unable to display chars with the embedded datas but this is an other problem.
The Apple tool creating PDF embed fonts ( in fact a subset restricted to the really used characters ) since it's first delivery.
I bought the Countdown font more than ten years ago, so it may be described as an old one. It's made of two files : a bitmap one and a postscript one. Which is the worst structure given the late versions of the Apple tool.
My guess is that your problems where linked to the fact that Apple continue to create PDFs according to the version 1.3 when many appli are now assuming version 1.6 or higher.

Unable to save or open files in Excel from Office 2011 on my Mac Air with Mountain Lion?

Excel 2011 no longer saves or opens files?

I found this page under Microsoft's web area listing known issues with Excel 2011 on the Mac.
One is entitled "You cannot save a file that includes a hyperlink". That and/or other references on this page might be helpful.

Unable to save a tiff file (save over)

I have rendered some images with a 3d program and saved as tiffs.
I will open the images in Photoshop and select SAVE. A message states "unable to save, the file is already open or in use". As a result, I will have to save a copy and rename it. What is weird is that I am unable to throw away the original TIFF. When I empty the trash a dialog will say "items are in use and can not be thrown away." Any ideas?

if you can't trash them after restarting the computer and they are not locked use cocktail to trash them.

Unable to Save Project (*.cp file)

Hello Captivate Forum,
Here I go again!!! I have many problems with captivate 3.0,
in terms of file size and importing.
Is it me or memorex???
Scenario - have cp file (147 mb). I cannot edit or change
this file. Can do Save As - the file size does not change.
New problem found.
I create an empty project. It has one slide. I log-off a
network, log on to computer locally, open my 1 slide project, and
import some OBJECTS on one slide only from the 147 mb file. This
actually worked (it DOES NOT WORK when I am logged into my
domain???!!). I then tried to save my now 2 slide project.
I get a captivate dialog that says I either do not have
priveleges to save the file in the current location or the file is
locked by another user. I get the same dialog when attempting to
save the file when logged in to the domain, except the import will
not work when loggted on the domain (?)
Has anyone seen this??? I plan to call Adobe tomorrow in
regard to this issue.
The user has full privs on all the dir paths and files, etc.
thanks,
eholz1

Unable to save or store files in the cache

I'm getting this error when internet explorer launches the Java activex control. Anyone know what causes this or how to resolve it?

With pages, you can save the file as .doc file. Use iConvert to convert to .html.
