Upgrade to Mountain problems. No longer able to "save as" a document

I upgraded today from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion 10.8.4. I am sorry I did. I needed it for a new software I wanted to get - Sketchup Pro 2013.
Here are some of my issues:
My system is running slow!
When I try to do a "save as" in preview, pages, numbers, etc., there no longer is a save as in the pull down menu. If a go to help and type save as it will pop up under help - what a pain.
When i open softwares, like quickbooks, it tells me that my QB wants to import my contacts.
I have not been using mail - instaed I use gmail. Is it time for me to cross over to mail? When someone invites me to a meeting, if I try to accept it, it says my response cannot be sent. (I used to use outlook and that worked seamlessly. However, I am now on my own and wanted to get something like gmail that was free.)
There will probably be more issues as I continue. Have other people been disappointed with Mountain Lion?
And what is Mavericks? Is that going to change everything?
Well. Thanks for the help.
PS I had been a pc user for over 25 years. Got my iMac 4 years ago and have never looked back. I have paraells on my computer (I also use AutoCAD), but I try to avoid using windows at all costs!

Save as is available in Mountain Lion by hitting the Option key while you access the File menu. (It was returned after being eliminated in Lion).
My system is running slow!
How much RAM do you have installed? Mountain Lion is somewhat of a memory hog. And, how much free/empty hard drive space do you have?
And what is Mavericks? Is that going to change everything?
Apple announced a new OS a few days ago; it is supposed to be released in the fall.
When i open softwares, like quickbooks, it tells me that my QB wants to import my contacts.
The capability to sync is a new feature. You don't need to do it. I did not allow any app to import my contacts. You can also turn off other features if you do not like them - simply go through all the System Preference Panes and decide what you want and what you don't want.

I have a paid subscription, but am no longer able to merger multiple pdf documents into one pdf. What's up?

I have a paid subscription, but am no longer able to merger multiple pdf documents into one pdf. What's up?

Pat:
Below is a copy of an 8/7/2013 email from adobe. I prepaid a one-year subscription, and, until I recently upgraded to Windows 8, I was able to make several dozens of merged pdf documents. I seem to be no longer able to use the merge feature that I had successfully and repeated used. When I search for the merge feature I end up with a request that I pay for an upgrade monthly subscription to use the merge feature.

Since downloading Security Update 2012, Word for Mac no longer able to save or save as documents; program freezes after clicking save

Since downloading Security Update 2012, Word for Mac 2004 is no longer able to Save or Save As documents. After clicking Save or Save As, the program ceases to respond and must be Force Quit. Any tips on making Word functional again?

There was a second Security Update (v1.1). Did you download that one. It was supposed to have fixed the problems created by the prior update. At least is solved my problems with Quicken 2007 for Mac and AppleWorks 6.

Since Pages update, I am no longer able to save my documents in Word. Is there a way to do it?

Since Pages update, I am no longer able to save my documents in Word. Is there a way to do this?

Are you using Pages 5.2 on your Mac or Pages on your iPad, I ask because of your profile?
If it is Pages 5.2 on your Mac, use the Export option.

No longer able to save iCal calendars "on my mac"

I have some of my iCal calendars saved "on my mac", and some of my iCal calendars saved "on iCloud".
After updating to 10.8.2, syncing of calendars in the iCloud settings preference pane were not enabled. I enabled it, and was asked if I wanted to merge calendars on my Mac with calendars in iCloud. I answered "yes", and after that I have no longer the option to save a new calendar "on my mac".
If I create a new calendar, the only option is to save it in iCloud (I have an option saving it in .Mac, but that is obviously no longer working since MobileMe is no more).
Does anybody have any suggestions as to how to be able to save new calendars "on my Mac"?

Hi,
I'd recommend trying two things to see if it solves your problem:
1. Restart the Windows audio service. Press your Windows key + R to bring up the Run dialogue box. Type in services.msc and select the Windows audio service. Restart it. Now try to select your TV as the audio device.
2. If the above step is unsuccessful, restart your computer while the TV is on and connected to your laptop through HDMI. Audio should play automatically.

No longer able to save Word documents - older Macbook

When I have tried to save multiple Word documents recently, I get this message:
"Word cannot save or create this file. The disk may be full or write-protected. Try one or more of the following:
*Free more memory
*Make sure that the disk you want to save the file on is not full, write-protected, or damaged"
I have 60GB of free space, but to be sure, I deleted 30 old documents and still no dice. I have no idea what write-protected means.
Thanks.

This website was helpful for me:

"as you work. Consequently, if working in Word for a long period of time, and frequently "saving" Word will hit its quota of saves and refuse to save anything else. The error messages ("too many documents open" or "disk full") are bogus and obviously not true in the real sense, but serve to worry the user and displace blame away from ms...
Thus it appears that this bug hits cautious users the hardest - as "saving early and saving often" is precisely what makes it happen. You might say "once burned, twice shy, thrice slapped in the face by microsoft."
The solution when the problem hits is to simply copy your changes since the last save (possibly paste them elsewhere), shut down MS Word, reopen it, then just paste your changes into the document, which will still be saved in its previous incarnation. If editing a document, this can be a bit more annoying as the changes might not be a paragraph or two, but rather a whole pile of little changes spread over an entire paper..." (TheMac19)
Hope that helps anyone in the future!

Upgraded to Lion and no longer able to burn music cds in itunes... anyone else with same problem?

does anyone have similar problems, or a solution for this situation?
thanks in advance

I bought a three-year-old MacBook from a co-worker, no longer under warranty, that was recently upgraded to Lion. I can't see CDs or DVDs, blank or with media on them. I see other people having similar problems, but no solutions yet from Apple. I know, I should have checked this before I bought the machine, but now it's my problem. Do I need to back out of Lion or does someone know if there is a solution on the horizon?

Always enjoyed being able to open new windows in a tab. However, after upgrading found I was no longer able to do this.

Have search all over web and tried every solution I could find; explored addons, restored, even reinstalled 19.0 but I am still unable!
It is very frustrating.
Would appreciate suggestions (never thought I'd say this but Safari is looking good!).
Thank you.

Let me see if I understand the original problem. You can checked the preference on the following tab to divert new windows to tabs instead:
Firefox menu > Preferences > Tabs
And that was not working correctly, either on all sites or a few particular sites.
Note that by default, sites that open a new window with particular specifications, such as the size, bypass that setting. To force even those windows into a new tab, you can use the about:config preference editor.
In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
In the filter box, type or paste '''link.o''' and pause while the list is filtered.
Double click these and set the value as desired:
'''(A) browser.link.open_newwindow'''
'''3 = divert new window to a new tab''' (default) (checked*) 
2 = allow link to open a new window (unchecked*) 
1 = force new window into same tab
'''*''' First checkbox in Options > Tabs
'''(B) browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction''' - for links in Firefox tabs
'''0 = apply the setting under (A) to ALL new windows (even script windows) 
2 = apply the setting under (A) to normal windows, but NOT to script windows with features (default) 
1 = override the setting under (A) and always use new windows
'''(C) browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external''' - for links in other programs
-1 = apply the setting under (A) to external links (default) 
'''3 = open external links in a new tab in the last active window''' 
2 = open external links in a new window 
1 = open external links in the last active tab replacing the current page
Sorry, that's a lot of data, but hopefully it's reasonably clear.

No longer able to save to a .PDF using Acrobat 8 Pro and any CS3 program

I spent several hours on phone with Apple and Adobe today-It seems that Snow Leopard and Anything below Acrobat Pro 9 and InD 4 are no longer compatible for exporting, printing or saving as a .PDF. Using Acr. Pro 8 and InD CS 3 Anyone find a fix as yet? I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.1.
I am a MAC user for less than 2 years. Do I have to update Adobe Suite every time it upgrades? Very financially draining, as I am not a Graphic Artist.
Apple Tech-always wonderful-but unable to help sent me this : http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html
.PDF printer continues to work very well on all programs not ADOBE.
Right now my only work around is to send my InD file to a friend who had InD CS4 and ask him to save to PDF for me and sent back file!
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

PS_Adobe wants me to Pay $39 to speak with a Tech support agent-This is already a documented issue. Not a "my MAC" issue. I find this disturbing.

There is no necessity to upgrade your copy of Creative Suite every two years.
However, apparently you chose to upgrade your operating system version. Was there any necessity of doing that, especially doing so very quickly after it was released? For better or worse, Apple does not regard ongoing application compatibility as a requirement for their new OS releases. Thus, if you upgrade versions of MacOS, be prepared to (1) upgrade your applications as well and (2) possibly endure a period of time in which the applications don't work under the new OS version until the application vendor can re-jigger their code to deal with the upwards-incompatible OS changes.
These issues are not confined to Adobe applications, but also affect Microsoft Office and any significantly complex applications that are provided directly by Apple themselves. There is nothing we at Adobe can do about this and we like this situation no more than you do.
This is not the first time these problems of upward-incompatible OS releases have plagued users and application vendors. It took Apple until 10.5.6 to get some level of stability in the 10.5.x (Leopard) OS release so that it was reasonably usable with most third party applications, drivers, etc.
I suggest you also vent to St. Steve (the Infallible) of Cupertino!

Anyone no longer able to save iPage doc as a PDF after VERY recent software update?

I recently updated, per my usual when the Mac prompts me. Today was unable to save iPages documents as a PDF - a function I use daily in my business. Please let me know if you've encountered this and how you repaired the bug. Thanks!

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.2, I can no longer print head shot photos from CONTACTS. Please assist.

Before upgrading to Mountain Lion, I was able to print head shots - in ALPHABETICAL order, mind you - from Contacts. Why do we not have this feature any more? Please bring back the way it was! Thank you!
Issue printing from Contacts: can't print head shots and it's no longer in alphabetical order.
Please don't tell me I can do this from iCloud, because it only prints one contact at a time.

Click GO from Finder and hold down the Option key. You'll see the Library folder in the list. Or you can click GO and select Go To Folder and type ~/Library. This will open the user\Library folder.

HT5225 What about my mail? I was told I could still keep my email account but I am no longer able to download my emails.

I was told I could still keep my email account even if my system wasn't up to a wholescale iCloud upgrade but I am no longer able to download my emails to my account. I can still get them on my iPod but not on my laptop. How do I make the transition?

How much mail are we talking about here? Roughly how many messages, and roughly how many gigabytes of mail?
Who is the mail provider? Is this a local provider on a local network, or one of the "free" providers, or something from your ISP?
Do you have free disk space on your OS X system here, or is it possible that your disk is getting full?
As for the usual diagnostics for problems with Mail.app, launch Mail.app and select the Connection Doctor from the Window menu, let it run, select More Details, and re-run the tests. Expunge any personally-identifying information and post the results here, if they don't make the trigger clear.
You can also try a mailbox repair pass; there's a Rebuild option in the Mail.app menus.
If the downloads are failing, then the usual trigger is the IMAP or POP password setup; there are two entirely seperate connections and two separate credentials and such; the send path (SMTP) and the receive (IMAP or POP) path. Usual triggers for problems are changes to the mail servers involved, or the mail ports, or the credentials needed; I've seen vendors change each of those, and forget to mention it to their users.
That OS X version is extremely old. (I don't have anything nearly that old to check the details fo the setup of that version; 10.6.8 is the oldest OS X version I have handy.)

Exchange Calendar availability not working after upgrading to Mountain Lion

After upgrading to Mountain Lion cannot longer see calendar availability on my Exchange account, before upgrading it worked ok - anyone has the same problem?

Had the same problem on 2 Macs (iMac and MBP) after downloading ML last night, could not access my Exchange calendar via iCal. Deleted the accounts from iCal, then reloaded them, now all seems to work

Acrobat not able to save form

I have created a PDF document/form that is required to sent out via email, be adjusted and saved. However, the clients are unable to
save the adjusted document they are only able to save the blank document. I can edit the PDF and save the document but no one else
can. All the clients have downloaded the latest version of Acrobat Reader buy they are still unable to save anything but the blank f
orm. I have been searching for answers all over the internet but am unable to find the right answer. Can you help?
I have allowed extended features prior to uploading the form.

Not sure what's up then. I created a form using both Acrobat and Livecycle Designer (in case that's what you actually used to create the form), enabled them in Acrobat and they work no problems.
How are the people getting the form from you? Are they opening them from within Reader or are they clicking on a link and opening them in a browser?
rizwan.54 wrote:
i am using Acrobat 9.0 pro
The steps i took
1) Created the form.
2) Opened PDF
3) Choose Advanced > Extend Features In Adobe Reader.
Also, check to see if you maybe have a script running that resets (clears) the documents on closing.

Upgraded to Mountain Lion and CS3, I am no longer able to access the correct dialog box for fine printing with Epson Stylus Photo 1400.

I have recently upgraded my Mac OS to Mountain Lion, and am using Photoshop CS3 together with Lightroom 5. To my absolute horror, in either Adobe program I am no longer able to access the dialog box which allows me to choose paper type, size, and print quality when attempting to print on my Epson Stylus Photo 1400. An excruciating hour on the phone with largely unintelligible folks at Epson seemed to prove the problem lies with Adobe instead of Epson. I'd greatly appreciate whatever advice might be forthcoming from the Community.

Well, this seemed to work.. can't believe it! After a year of messing with this!
from Stevejones5
"I found a way around this problem. GO to HD/Library/Printers/Epson/InkjetPrinter/ICCProfiles and you will find a file labeled Pro38.profiles. This is a package file. Control click on it and reveal contents. Then you can copy all the profiles and paste them into your Colorsync folder either in the HD/Library folder or your own Home folder/Library. Then the profiles will show up in Photoshop and Lightroom."
Key, is to Control click on the printer to "Open contents". Then open Resource folder. Copy everything in it and then paste it into the "Colorsync" folder in your Library. (Remember, to get to Library you have to hold the command key down for it to appear in "Go" Menu for Finder.
Then I reinstalled printer driver from Apple, then rebooted computer, then plugged in printer. And VOILA-- I can now select Epson Premium Photo Paper Luster!
