Adobe Suite CS5 - "Cannot save files" - files are Read Only files

I had a power failure and now have a back up battery installed so I'm set for future outage. But it corrupted my Creative Suite program. I keep getting this error "Cannot save "untitled-1" under a new name. The file "DBT mp542438996529" is damaged (Error code: 0). or "Cannot save "Untitled" under new name.
1. I right click on icon of Photoshop/ Indesign CS5 file and open "Get Info" I can not reset the You can only read under "Sharing & Permission". The Name/Privilege list have Read & Write but I can not open/click on them.
2. Same issues with Photoshop CS5
I have iMac computer
3. If I re-install do I need to "deactivate my Serial number on Adobe Suite?
4. Not a good day for me
Any help is truly grateful!

Open powerpoint encrypted files that are read only

I'm trying to open a powerpoint encrypted file that is read only with keynote version 5.1.1.
however keep getting the error message it must first be saved un encrypted.
is there a way to mark the file read only so keynote will open it like powerpoint does

thanks for the info, but not possible to get the file with the passowrd removed.
I was hoping keynote would be able to still read it like powerpoint is able to but I guess that feature doesn't exist in keynote.
Gues will just have to find a pc with powerpoint then.

JAVA and XML files suddently becomes read only files ---- is this a bug ?

Hi all,
I run into this problem about 1 to 3 times a day. What happens is that all of a sudden all the files containing code that i was editing becomes read-only well the write cursor disapears this is kinda bothering me the only way to fix this is to reboot jdev. In the console there are no errors which i found weird. i am using the latest jdev version under the enterprise red hat.
Regards,
Carl

Mail attachments won't save - saying folders are Read Only

Every time I try save an attachement, mail pops up saying this location is read-only,
Any help?

I still can't fix this issue.
This is what happens when I try to create a new folder in the target folder that I want to save my attachments too. The target folder has Read & Write access for everyone.
I've tried:
Accessing Repair Utilities and typed in resetpassword
Resetting the permissions on my computer
Relaunch Finder
But so far nothing works and I still get the Read Only error message when trying to create a new folder to save my attachments.
UPDATE:
I've used these steps by Linc Davis, who is like a savior for everything Mac!
The thread to this problem can be found here - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4925516?start=0&tstart=0
Now my email is back to normal!

Crashes and read-only file systems

Notice: I apolgize for the long post, I've tried to be as thorough as possible. I have searched everywhere for possible solutions, but things I've found end up being temporary workarounds or don't apply to my situation. Any help, even as simple as, "have you checked out XYZ log, it's hidden here", would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I'm not sure what exactly caused the issues below, but they did start to happen within a day of running pacman -Syu. I hadn't run that since I first installed Arch on December 2nd of this year.
Setup:
Thinkpad 2436CTO
UEFI/GPT
SSD drive
Partitions: UEFISYS, Boot, LVM
The LVM is encrypted and is broken up as: /root, /var, /usr, /tmp, /home
All LVM file systems are EXT4 (used to have /var and /tmp as ReiserFS)
The first sign that something was wrong was gnome freezing. Gnome would then crash and I'd get booted back to the shell with all filesystems mounted as read-only. I started having the same issues as this OP:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=150704
At the time, I had /var and /tmp as ReiserFS, and would also get reiserfs_read_locked_inode errors.
When shutting down (even during non-crashed sessions) I would notice this during shutdown:
Failed unmounting /var
Failed unmounting /usr
Followed by a ton of these:
device-mapper: remove ioctl on <my LVM group> failed: Device or resource busy
Nother of these errors had ever appeared before.
After hours of looking for solutions (and not finding any that worked) I was convinced (without any proof) that my Reiser file systems were corrupt and so I reformatted my entire SSD and started anew - not the Arch way, I know I set all logical volumes as EXT4.
After started anew, I noticed
device-mapper: remove ioctl on LVM_SysGroup failed: Device or resource busy
was still showing up, even with just a stock Arch setup (maybe even when powering off via Arch install ISO, don't remember). After a lot of searching, I found that most people judged it a harmless error, so I ignored it and continued setting up Arch.
I set up Gnome and a basic LAMP server, and everything seemed to work for a couple of hours. Soon after, I got the same old issues back. The System-journald issue came back and per the workaround on https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=150704 and a couple other places, I rotated the journals and stopped journald from saving to storage. That seemed to stop THOSE errors from at least overwhelming the shell, but I would still get screen freezes, crashes, and read-only file systems.
I had to force the laptop to power off, since poweroff/reboot/halt commands weren't working (would get errors regarding the filesystems mounted as read-only).
I utilized all disk checking functions possible. From running the tests (SMART test included) that came as part of my laptop's BIOS to full blown fsck. All tests showed the drive was working fine, and Fsck would show everything was either clean, or
Clearing orphaned inode ## (uid=89, gid=89, mode=0100600, size=###
Free blocks count wrong (###, counted=###)
Which I would opt to fix. Nothing serious, though.
I could safely boot back into Arch and use the system fine until the system decides to freeze/crash and do the above all over again.
The sure way of recreating this for me is to run a cron job on a local site I'm developing. After a brief screen freeze (mouse still moveable but everything is otherwise unreponsive) I'll systemctl status mysqld.service and notice that mysqld went down.
It seems that it's at this point my file systems are mounted as read only, as trying to do virtually anything results in:
unable to open /var/db/sudo/...: Read-only file system
After some time, X/Gnome crashes and I get sent back to shell with
ERROR: file_stream_metrics.cc(37)
RecordFileError() err = 30 source = 1 record = 0
Server terminated successfully (0)
Closing log file.or_delegate.h(30)] sqlite erro1, errno 0: SQL logic error or missing database[1157:1179
rm: cannot remove '/tmp/serverauth.teuroEBhtl': Read-only file system
Before all this happened, I was using Arch just fine for a few weeks. I wiped the drives and started anew, and this still happens with just the minimal number of packages installed.
I've searched for solutions to each individual problem, but come across a hack that doesn't solve anything (like turning off storing logs for journal), or the solution doesn't apply to my case.
At this point, I'm so overwhelmed I'm not even sure where exactly to pick up figuring this issue out.
Thanks in advance for any help

Did this occur when you booted from the live/install media?
What is your current set up? That is, partitions, filesystems etc. I take it you have not yet reinstalled X but are in the default CLI following installation?
If turning off log storage didn't help, reenable it so that you may at least stand a chance of finding something useful.
What services, if any, are you running? What non-default daemons etc.?
Does it happen if you keep the machine off line?
Have you done pacman -Syu since installation and dealt with any *.pacnew files?

Cannot save the file may be read only

Does anyone know how to save a current PDF in Adobe Acrobat X pro if getting "the file may be read only, or another user may have it opened. Please save document with a different name or in a different folder" windows 7. The file has not been opened by anyone, and this happens when I amend the document and try and save again. I have turned off "protected view" within the preferences. Deselected the file in its folder, and turned off the preview pane in the explorer window.
Does anyone have any ideas how to get around this? thank you.

Chances are it is a problem with the preview being turned on in Explorer. You might try closing Explorer, changing it to a different folder, or turning off the preview (the typical solution).

Cannot Save generated PDF, and associated data file is in french not english

Hello,
So I have 2 weird issues.
First, after I save my newly created form as a PDF, I send it off to my coworker, they cannot save the document after filling it out, only print. Checking the security settings on the document, everything is allowed except document assembly, changing the document, and creation of template pages, yet they cannot save the filled out form only print. Created in LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 with Adobe Reader 9.
When I generated previewed data, the saved data is in french yet all of my settings are English including program, OS, and regional settings are all English US.
Need help asap.

Thanks for the reply.
The option I was trying to do is:
User has the Reader (form Reader Enabled using the full version of Acrobat before deployment. See licence restrictions)
user can open form;
fill it in;
print it;
data connections to databases and web services will NOT work;
user can save the form.
The actual answer to the question is this:
Enable Reader users to save form data
Ordinarily, Reader users can’t save filled-in copies of forms that they complete. However, you can extend rights to Reader users so they have the ability to do so. These extended rights also include the ability to add comments, use the Typewriter tool, and digitally sign the PDF.
Open a single PDF, or select one or more PDFs in a PDF Portfolio.
Choose Advanced > Extend Features In Adobe Reader.
The other question regarding the data in french is still unknown why it is doing that.

Could not save as - The file may be read-only or is already open in another application

Can anyone think of a reason why if I'm working locally on a CS3 Flash .fla on my C: drive that I would get the error:
Could not save as: C:\Users\John\Desktop\Project_File\ANNUAL REPORT RELEASE\01-19-11\report_stragegy.fla
The file may be read-only or is already open in another application. Save using a different name, or close the document and try again.
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
It happens sporadically. I haven't been able to find a reason why this error pops up when saving some of my .fla files!!
The files are not set to "read only" when I right click on them and choose 'Properties' in the Windows 7.
I found some somewhat similar situations with saving errors:

Sometimes I can save with a different file name. But sometimes I can't and start a new blank document and cut and paste from the one that won't save to the new untitled document.

Why is exported file coming up read-only in Adobe Acrobat 9 pro?

Hi. Would appreciate whatever help anyone can give me. I spent the last 2-3 weeks working on a scientific poster for my brother, who is a doctor. I did the work in Adobe.com and came to the realization I was not going to be able to save it outside the program, since it is a trial.
However, I chanced across the Export command and exported it into Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. Only problem is it is now a read-only file. I can't manipulate the text. The poster is going to be about 3' X 3' and right now it has been formatted for 8 1/2" X 11" pages. I think the Fed Ex folks are going to need some editing power.
So, does anyone know if I can change this document to be edited? Or if it can be edited? Tried saving to a thumb drive, but that didn't work either.
(Please help me! This Adobe site is so complicated it is driving me mad!)
Thanks!
Beth

Hei Beth,

Kiitos lähettämässä Acrobat.com foorumi. En ole varma, että näin on, mutta se kuulostaa käytit iskusana, yksi Acrobat.com n koodinkirjoitussovellukset. Jos olet iskusana, voit muuttaa asiakirjan kokoa menemällä "Document"-valikosta ja valitsemalla "Page Setup ..."; siellä, voit muuttaa sivun kokoinen. En suosittele vientiä PDF kunnes olet päättänyt muokata, koska PDF-tiedosto on varsin vaikea muuttaa (ajatella sitä tulostettu dokumentti, että näytät näytön sen sijaan, että paperin).

InDesign CS5 - preventing "Read Only" files?

Hi all,
We've always worked on a file server; and InDesign CS4 (and below) would lock any open files so only one person could access the document at a time. Now CS5 appears to let other other people view the INDDs as a read only file while others are working on it.
This allows people to open a live file, make changes and do a Save As. This is really bad for our workflow since we can't risk multiple people accessing a file at one time.
Is there anyway to disable this?
Thanks.

Thanks, Stix.
Updating the app fixed it. I tried searching for this answer on the forum first (as is protocol), but couldn't find the answer.
A co-worker found a similar thread/answer as well. I guess I need to fine tune my search skills.

Can I reinstall Adobe Suite CS5 from my iMac and transfer it to a new computer?

Can I reinstall Adobe Suite CS5 from my iMac after it has been installed on another computer to my mac laptop?

You do not transfer Adobe applications, it does not work. You need to install using installation files.

Shared folder files open as read only even though they are set up as read write

Hello, I've recently purchased a iMac to work alongside my mac book pro. Primarily, i want this for ease of use at home and as a 'back up' to my pro should anything happen.
I have a number of folders and files on my pro that I wish to access on the iMac and have set up shared folders to enable this with a new profile and read/write permissions. This all works fine until I open the document, make changes then find that I have to save as a different name as the files open as 'read only'?
Is there anything I've missed? I would of expected 'read/write' permissions to enable me to save files as edited?
Any help appreciated otherwise, I'll have to resort to copying files between machines which would be a major dissapointment!
Thanks in advance

Found the solution...basically the permissions are not automatically cascaded down to sub folders and files so you have to do the following... modified from https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2743520?start=0&tstart=0
On the folder that you would like to change, select the Get Info and then click on the cogwheel at the bottom of the Get Info dialog.
Click on the menu pick "Apply to enclosed items ..." and confirm the warning message.
Then the same read & write permissions are applied to all the subfolders of the selected folder.

I need to install the Adobe Suite CS5 a 3rd time, can I?

I already installed my Adobe Suite CS5 twice, once on my laptop and once on my desktop. I want to purchase a new laptop, but it just hit me that I had already downloaded the Adobe Suite CS5 software twice, so it propably won't let me download it again, right? Is there a way to be able to download it again on my new laptop? Or are we limited to 2 downloads? I can't afford to buy a new laptop, AND a new Adobe Suite...

Downloading and isntalling are unlimited, but you can only activate it on 2 computers at any given time.

Can't save the illustration. The file may be read only, or the file is in use by another applicatio

Getting error "Can't save the illustration. The file may be read only, or the file is in use by another application." The file is not read only and is not in use by another application.

The same thing may happen in Windows Explorer, specifically if it is a very big file (physical size), so preparing the preview may take a lot of time.
In that case it is used by "another application", that is: Explorer.
By the way, which version of Illustrator are you using, Tetons?

Cannot change .CBR/Z read only files

Hi Everyone,
I have downloaded some comics and want to get them into an app in itunes then onto my ipad. The files are "read only".
When I right click and change the properties from read only it does not change the files inside the CBR/Z files.
If I extract the files then I cannot get the folder into itunes.
Any ideas how I can fix this?
Cheers

No.
iTunes writes the data to the file and updates the iTunes library.itl file (iTunes database file) so it can display all the data without having to reread every file all the time.
Whenever iTunes access a file, it rereads the metadata from that file and updates the iTunes database.
Since the file was not updated (read only), next time you access it, iTunes "corrects" its data..
