A strange "cannot save" message keeps occurring in Pages

A strange "cannot save" message keeps occurring in Pages since the Mavericks/Pages 9 update.
"The document “08-13-31 Kobayashi Japonisme_captions.pages” could not be saved. The file has been changed by another application."
AFAIK, no other application has changed the file.
I click override and save the thing and all seems to be well, but it is very, very disconcerting.

Many features have been removed from Pages 5 see:
iWorkTipsnTricks Forum
Meanwhile it probably is best to continue using Pages '09 if that is possible and if you are unhappy with Pages 5 give it a review and rating in the App Store.

Hi, I was working on a PDF writing comments using Adobe Reader on a Mac. I clicked save and got a 'cannot save' message. I then clicked save as instead, Reader froze and my PDF disappeared. The only version saved has only my first comment. Does Adobe

Hi, I was working on a PDF writing comments using Adobe Reader on a Mac. I clicked save and got a 'cannot save' message. I then clicked save as instead, Reader froze and my PDF disappeared. The only version saved has only my first comment. Does Adobe Reader save to temporary files that I can access in order to recover my work? Is there any other way to recover it? Thanks!

Hi @Pat Willener,
since I got the same problem as pdfprincess I hope you can help me. The 'Automatically save document changes to temporary file...' is enabled in my adobe reader.
A file I worked (commented) on a lot crashed. When I reopened the file, adobe reader didn't ask if I want to restore my changes in this file, as it is written on the help.adobe.com page. Is there any possibility to restore the changes manually from the temporary file?
Thanks in advance - it is really important for me to restore these changes!!

Unallowed tags - cannot save message

Hello,
On my clients landing page: http://www.saveenergyexpo.ca I'm getting an error on save that says:
"You cannot save this page
Reason: The content you are trying to save unallowed tags or dynamic code."
I don't think I have anything out of the ordinary, but I've been wrong every other time.
Your help is appreciated.

Well, I figured it out. I had an html comment in the editable region. I guess the program doesn't like comments.

Startup Disk Full Message Keeps Occuring

I'm new at maintaining our Xserve here at work. It seems that each day the serevr gets incapacitated because the Startup Disk space fills up. I keep deleting log files and other files that are temporary, but to no avail. I can free a Gig or 2 then a day or two alter it's full again. Is there something wrong with the configuration?

You found a disk-full message and, well, piled onto the thread. OK. There's a decent shot that there is no connection to the previous disk-full error, too. If you lift the hood and look at the Unix layers, there are a large number of files being written, and many differing triggers for general or for excessive disk consumption.
As was mentioned earlier in the thread, this likely isn't specific to Xserve hardware, and this is probably a generic Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server issue, too; something occurring within the Unix layer of the platform. Something writing a log. Caching. A run-away process. Etc.
Get the [Grand Perspective tool|http://grandperspectiv.sourceforge.net> as a start. That can show you where your space is going.
Also launch Terminal.app and use the shell commands:
find / -size 1k -print+
sudo du -sHh /*
mdfind 'kMDItemFSSize > 10000000'
The first shows files larger than 1K, the second shows disk space. There are commands around to sort this stuff, too; to rank your use as output by du. That last one, the mdfind command, is a (fast) Mac search command that works reasonably well as part of a pipe.
And 150 gigabytes? That's comparatively tiny. I'm running 750 GB drives on servers that are now three years old. Go get yourself actual disk storage devices. Smaller drives can sometimes be used for high performance, but SSD is infiltrating that usage. The tiny SAS disks that were sold with various Xserve boxes were built for speed and bandwidth (as HDDs go), and aren't so good for storage or for sharing the operating system installation with, for instance, users.
And if it's log files, have a look at what's going on as - as is typical with many of these cases - the log can be filling because there's an error somewhere. And the specific trigger for the error can by most anything. Do your due diligence as a Unix server administrator and find your big file(s) and have a look at what's going on with your Unix server, in other words.
Also try a few Google searches, as this problem is a common one, and there are any number of discussions around of various find and du and mdfind and other commands that can be used here. It'd be nice if there was an integrated and GUI-friendly mechanism within Mac OS X, but that's not available; it's add-on or Unix shell commands for now...

Cannot save and keep sound embedded with the project

I am working on a movie with 1 short video downloaded clip and many jpeg stills as a trial for a larger school project. I have put sound into the project and saved the project. I can listen to the sound However when I save on my school server I cannot open the project up on a computer that has PE and has a burner for me to burn a CD. I have rendered the project. When I attempt to open the project PE states it cannot locate the source of the music. I put the sound in the same folder. I can view the movie, and pictures but the project still cannot find the sound. Please help! Thanks.

None of the Premiere versions, or programs, work well on networkds. You will have better luck if you store your Project on an external, with the proper drive letter assignation and the media files, things will be better for you.
I use a 2TB external with the PREL (Project files), all media and these are each assigned the same drive letter in the OS of all of my editing machines. So long as the drive letter does not change (you MUST set it in the OS of each machine), things work perfectly.
You may wish to contact Adobe Tech Support, regarding the school's network, most people have insurmountable difficulties trying to do so.
Good luck, and please report back, as schools often attmept to use Premiere and Elements on any network.

Strange screen saver message

I recently started getting a message while changing screen saver selections. It reads "Error: Can’t load bundle". I tried fixing permissions, then reinstalling system software, and have looked thru all the usual places, but to no avail. I would appreciate anyones response if you've experienced this same problem. Thanks!!

Cannot save to SMB shares in Pages

This issue is actually occurring ONLY in the iWork applications, Pages, Keynote and Numbers.
User recently upgraded to Mavericks 10.9.1. Has two SMB shares to smb://servername called "Public" and "Company Name".
The two locations are available in Finder as typical network shares in the left-hand pane. You can navigate the Shares, open files, etc. without any issues.
However, if I create a new file in Pages and type some text into the new file and attempt to save it to "Public" or "Company Name", I'm presented with the following error:
"Untitled" couldn't be moved because you don't have permission to access "Public". To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info.
When I do this, I see the information as "You have custom permissions" which typically indicates an NTFS or ACL related permissions that OSX can't quite read.
This same issue occurs whether i'm in Pages, Keynote or Numbers.
Troubleshooting:
1. Checked and verified permissions were correct on Windows 2003 server hosting the SMB shares;
2. Created new file in TextEdit and attempted to save it to "Public" and "Company Name". File save was successful.
3. Created new user on machine and logged in and performed steps above with Pages, Keynote and Numbers. Ran into the exact same error.
4. Disconnected the shares and reconnected to the server using domain administrator account. Same issues occur regardless ONLY in the iWorks applications. Permissions are fine for navigating location, opening files and saving in any application outside of iWorks.
For now, I have the user performing the following steps:
1. Create new document in Pages, Keynote or Numbers. Edit the document. Save it to the local drive in Documents\Need to Save
2. Within Finder, user goes to Documents\Need to Save and drags the files that need to be on the network to the appropriate location, "Public" or "Company Name".
I'm almost thinking I need to remove and reinstall the iWork suite applications. However, I don't want to perform that step without checking here.
Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated. Thank you!

Peter,
In working with the client, we did find that we could create new documents in the various iWork '09 applications and save them to the SMB shares without any issues. However, since 5.0 Pages, for now, is installed, all applications have been created in 5.0.1, which is the current version on the App Store, and therefore, cannot be opened in Pages '09. When we open Pages '09, we're prompted to upgrade to Pages 5.0. Therefore, we look to still have the issue in saving to SMB shares through the iWorks applications regardless. Especially since the client cannot access any of the current documents in iWorks '09 applications as they were created in the newer application.
Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Cannot save or print from within Pages

I can no longer save or print pages documents. Those menu items are grayed out. All I can do is open, close or start a new document, I've tried trashing the pref file to no avail. I also can only open pages documents from within the program, clicking on them doesn't open them even though it will open Pages itself.
Any suggestions?

Did you try running Pages from a different account?
Did you check the Console (Applications > Utilities > Console) for suspicious entries?
Did you try repairing permissions on the volume? (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility > First Aid > Repair Disk Permissions (I recently heard that hardly ever fixes any problems, but it is easy to do in the background and it doesn't hurt.)
Did you try to reinstall Pages?

Cannot save documents after updating to Pages 5.5.2

After updating to Pages 5.5.2, I can no longer save or edit documents. It just says that (document name).pages can not be created. Same thing happens if I try to export to .docx or .pdf. Please help, I can no longer work, the update completely broke my program.

Hello mckayj93,
It is hard to say why it is not allowing you to save or export a file, but try deleting pages from your Mac and then download it again so it will install a fresh copy if you think it was something to do with the update. There will be a record of Pages associated with your Apple ID so it will not charge you to download it again.

Generic file I/O error. Cannot save VI "filename.VI"

Hi, I have LV 8.2. I am having problems saving VI's after editing them. I am getting the message:
Generic file I/O error. Cannot save VI "filename.VI"
I can recreate the problem by creating a blank VI, placing a property node on the block diagram, right clicking on property and choosing, select property and in the window that pops up expanding Application and clicking on Directory path and clicking OK. I save this VI to disk. Then I load the file again and delete the property node. Now if I try to save that I get: Generic file I/O error. Cannot save VI "filename.VI"
Furthermore with the real VI that I am having problems with. If, when I get the cannot save message, I do a "Save as" and save a copy as "filename backup" and then quit labview without saving the "filename" vi, when I run LabVIEW again I get:
The last time you ran LabVIEW, an internal rror or crash occured at save.cpp, line 821.
I click investigate internal error message now and get told there is a logfile of the error. The contents of the file on one occasion were, quote:

Any ideas?

Hello,
Sorry you've encountered this problem. The cpp error is a known issue, which is filed under corrective action request number : 42BI4OO5. In a nutshell, this means R&D is looking into the problem. I attempted to reproduce the problem as you described below, but I did not get the "Generic file I/O error" as you did.
If you have any further insight or detail which perhaps is the key to reproducing this, please repost, and I'll try to reproduce this again! In the mean time, does it help to copy and paste your code to a new VI, or does that VI suffer the same problem?
Thank you,
Best Regards,
JLS
PS -
Standard CAR Response:
"This was reported to R&D (42BI4OO5 CAR ID) for further investigation. Thanks for the feedback!"
Best,

Help with the open/save message box

Hi everyone, I have a link to a PDF on my website and I need it to open in browser. Right now it always comes up with the open/save message box.
This is no good because I need to embed a direct page link (ie #page=9), and the open/save message box removes the page variable and opens to page one.
It's strange because I have two PDF links on this particular page and while one works fine (and opens in browser) the other constantly prompts with open/ save.
Suggestions? I've already gone into the PDF preferences and set it to "Open PDF in Browser"... this does not help.
Thanks,
Nathan

Well - Yes --- and No. When I try to re-save a document or use the new Save As... implementation I am generally offered my Mac. But - If I create a New document and then use Cmd-S I am taken back to the iCloud Save window with the disclosure triangle closed. I am seeing this in TextEdit and Preview, but I have not checked all my document creator applications to see if the protocol is across the board.)
(Note - the "On My Mac" button is only available in the OPEN Dialog - not the SAVE Dialogs.)

Savemail: cannot save rejected email anywhere

Hi folks...
When I run dmesg I see lots of sendmail errors that state "savemail: cannot save rejected email anywhere". I found a document at "http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-9-83988-1" that indicates the if I run "/usr/lib/sendmail root@localhost </etc/motd
" it will produce the cannot save messages.
The forum document indicates that this errors may have something to do with the hosts.deny hosts.allow files. But under the /etc there is only the symbolic link to the hosts file.
So can anyone advise me on if I have to create the hosts.allow and/or hosts.deny files what entries in either file will stop the cannot save error messages?
On our Solaris 10 O/S I couldn't find those other hosts.* files.
Thanks in adavnce

These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)
