After AW 6.0 update to 6.2.9 won't Save files

After updating Apple Works 6.0 to 6.2.9, the updated program will not allow me to save any files. After choosing my Macintosh HD as the "save to" location, I am unable to Save. Instead, a small wndow appears stating "Cannot find volume." I had previously been running AW 6.2.9 for a long time, but had to reformat my HD recently and re-loaded AW 6.0, then tried my 6.2.9 update when this problem surfaced. I tried UNINSTALLING these and re-installing several times, but I always have the same problem now. I also have to force quit AW most of the time. However, the OS9 version runs fine and saves fine, no problems with it. Help!!

Thanks Peggy for your prompt suggestions. I went ahead and used Disk Warrier to rebuild my HD. I also used Disk Utility to repair Permissions. I also trashed preferences from AW for both systems 9 and 10. Same problems! I re-installed AW from the beginning. Same problems! I also find I cannot open any of my AW files directely- a dialog says "file is locked or in use" and "open a copy." When I open a copy, it still won't Save! I went to Get Info- all my AW files have "read only" and the owner is "unknown." I clicked the locked padlock on unknown, unlocked it, reset it to my normal owner name for the computer, changed the file to "read and write" and clicked "open all files with this application" also. It will the open that one file without asking me to open a copy. But still won't Save. And all my other AW files are still set to "unknown" and are still padlocked in the "read only" mode. What the heck do you think happened here? This was after I had the Apple Store help me to reformat a copy of my HD because it had frozen one day and couldn't be retrieved with Disk Utility or Disk Warrier. They couldn't tell me why this had happened. All of my other applications are just fine. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Mark Schubert, Phoenix, AZ

    Updated photoshop cc and I can't save files now

    No, but before anyone can help you, you'll need to tell us what version of Photoshop you are using, and what your new update status is. Plus we need to know what your operating system is.
    [edit]
    Whoops.  Just noticed that you mention CC, so I guess you are talking about 14.1.  So what is your OS?

  • After latest Photoshop CC update, I can no longer edit a raw file in Lightroom 4 as a smart object

    I updated PS this morning, since then I am no longer able to edit a file in LIghtroom 4 as a smart object in Photoshop CC. Photoshop will open, but after some time passes, Lightroom 4 gives an error that Photoshop cannot be launched. If I choose "edit in photoshop" from lightroom, instead of "edit as smart object", the file opens fine.

  • After last Moutain Lion update, suddenly and sporadically I cannot move my files using my mouse.  I only get a "ghost" image.  Moving items to the trash is, of course no problem.  Does anyone have a solution?  I've updated my permissions...no go!

    Cannot move icon files using my mouse or cursor after installing Mountion Lion's last update.  After rebooting several times, this sometimes fixes the problem.  I've tried checking and updating my permissions, but this hasn't worked.  What's happening?  I haven't backed up so I can't go back to Lion.  Has this happened to anyone else?  What can I try?  Thanks!

    Try this:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Now download and install OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.3 (Combo).

  • After 10.7.3 update doesn't see battery. won't charge.

    Hi,
    I just did the 10.7.3 update via automatic updater. the device, a late 2010 13" air with 2 g 2.17 processer 250g hard drive.
    Under the power tab, It does not acknowladge the battery. It does say the charger is attached, but says it is not charging.no lights come on on the charger.
    I restarted it and the same thing occurs.
    Help!
    I have work to do!!

    > during the entirety of this process the cursor was a "busy" pinwheel/beach ball/whathaveyou for a solid 30 minutes before I turned the computer off with the power button.
    All that cursor means is that it is busy trying to do something.  You can see if force quitting solves the problem with a simple force quit using command-option-escape.  If you are having issues with iCal quitting, sometimes it doesn't always know whether or not it is properly communicating with a particular calendar.  This can be a Mobileme issue, or even a phone synchronization issue, or a network issue reaching a shared calendar.  Shutting down a machine directly from a cursor is the last step one should try, only after all others have failed.  If you have done this in the past, lurking corruption can get worse each time with the directory, and upgrading the system will only enhance any corruption already present.  When you restart your Mac, does everything appear to be normal?

  • Photoshop CC won't save files after update

    i just let Adobe do an update to photoshop CC last night, and now this morning, when i go to create files and save them for use in premiere CC, they don't save. i click save, save as, ctrl+S, they just don't do anything. they don't bring up the save window or anything. the only way i can save something is using the "save for web" option and that's not the best option for me right now. is this something that got broken in the CC update?

    It looks to be system specific.
    It may help if we could see your Photoshop System Info. Directions for sharing your system info from Photoshop:

  • After the last kernel update to 3.18, Gnome won't start!

    I can still boot without any problems up to the GDM screen, but after entering the password, I get stuck with a black screen. No keyboard, no mouse, nothing.
    If I start an i3 session instead, the whole system locks up if I try to launch Chromium or Epiphany for example.
    I have an NVIDIA 9400M graphic card.

    @christophwu Woah, you're right. It is caused by broadcom-wl. But I didn't see anything strange on the journal. I can confirm that after uninstalling the driver, I can login into my desktop.
    As for now, I'll probably stay with the 3.14 LTS kernel. Can't work without wifi.

  • After Maverick was installed, updates on IPHOTO and others won't work because Apple ID is already used.

    I installed update on my IMAC for new Maverick OS X  10.9.2
    It will not allow the update on a few Apps, such as IPhotos, it says Apple ID is already in use.
    1. What is the problem here
    2. What am I supposed to do about fixing it?

    Have you tried signing out of the App Store and then back in with the Apple ID and password that you used to purchase the iMac? 
    If that fails contact support in the App Store with the link circled below:

  • My ipod touch completely shut down after i tried to update the software. It won't respond at all. Any advice?

    Hi, I was updating my apple software and my ipod touch completely shut down. I got an error message that my ipod touch could not be restored. what the ????
    please help. it wont start at all, no power. itunes doesn't even recognize it anymore.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • Some clients can't connect after 10.6.6 update - the see an error -43

    Hi There,
    I'm a designer so am not all that technical but have managed to setup and maintain OS X servers since 10.5.
    I've just updated the server to 10.6.6 and now some of our clients can't connect - they get the following error:
    "There was an error connecting to the server. Check the server name or IP address and try again.
    If you are unable to resolve the problem contact your system administrator."
    If I click OK to the error above on the client, I see another error which reads:
    "The operation cannot be completed because one or more required items cannot be found.
    (Error code -43)"
    I've restarted the server and the clients but no luck.
    The server is running the following services:
    - AFP
    - DNS
    - Firewall
    - NFS (although I don't remember setting this up - is this started with AFP?)
    - Open Directory
    I can ping the server and login via ARD so not sure why we see the first IP address error as mentioned above.
    Any help or suggestions would be most welcome.
    Regards
    Ben

    One question, is this when you hit "Connect to Server" or is this after you've established a connection and try to open/edit/save files?
    Here is some general advice:
    1) I assume your whole network is behind a router and that we are talking a small office environment (5-10 people) and not some large enterprise. If so the Firewall service can probably be disabled. As a matter of fact if your issue is that clients can't connect at all the firewall may actually be causing your problem.
    2) NFS can almost certainly be disabled. Its generally only used for two reasons 1) The netboot service needs it. 2) You support unix/bsd clients. I can see from your list of services that netboot isn't something you're doing and I doubt that as a designer you would have much use for unix/bsd systems.

  • Applications won't open after Quicktime Update...and fix won't work!

    Hello,
    I'm having the same problem as many others: after the recent Quicktime update most of my applications won't open.
    I've followed the instructions from Apple at
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306043
    However, when I do the "sudo" prebinding thing, I get this:
    update_prebinding: error: dependent dylib is not prebound
    update_prebinding: error 256 running updateprebindingcore
    Any ideas?! Thanks!

  • TS1372 After the latest iTunes update iTunes no longer sees either of my ipods.  Diagnostics says no ipod connected.  However my laptop, which is running Window 8.1 does see the ipod.

    After the latest iTunes update neither of my iPods are recognized by iTunes, so I am unable to sync.  When I run diagnostics it says no device connected.  My laptop sees my iPod so I know it is connected.  I have tried all of the recommended iTunes fixes and none work.  I tried deleting and reinstalling both an older version and the newest version.  The older version would not reconize my music libray.  Any thouhts?

    I tried deleting and reinstalling both an older version and the newest version.
    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
