Appleworks won't save DB file as ASCII

My AppleWorks Database won't save the file as an ASCII (for export) Save As, only offers AppleWorks and Claris Works options. I know in the past ASCII was an option, but for some reason no longer?
I am running AW 6.2.9 on a PowerPC G5 running 10.5.8.

Did you move the AppleWorks application from the AppleWorks 6 folder, separating it from its necessary folders - AppleWorks Essentials, Clippings & Starting Points? The AppleWorks 6 application & the above mentioned folders must be in a folder named AppleWorks 6 & this folder must be at the first level of the Applications folder. Not keeping all these "parts" together will break translators, spell check, updaters, etc.

Adobe Reader Version 11.0.10 won't save pdf file as original file name

We are currently using Adobe Reader Version 11.0.10.
When we open and existing pdf file then make any changes (using the Fill & Sign Tab at the top right hand side) then click Save it won't save the file. We have to re-name the file in order to save it.
This was working ok back in January and wondered if there has been an up-date since then that has made this error occur?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you. We have tried that but it has not made any difference. Adobe still requires a new file name to save the file.

InDesign CC won't save my files

Hi
I've been working in InDesign for a week now and since yesterday I started noticing that at times InDesign won't undo and I am not able to save my file. I keep hitting command + s while working but it just doesn't save or give an error message. If I go on the File menu all the save and save as commands are grayed out. If you close the file and click on the save button InDesign just gives a message that the file cannot be saved. I have to close the file without saving and redo all the work. Because InDesign doesn't give an error when pressing command + s I would do a lot of work under the impression everything gets saved but it doesn't and I keep losing a lot of work.
Also CC runs very slow. There are times when the program just "freezes" for awhile while InDesign does somethings in the background and only after it is done you can start working again. The pages panel takes ages to load the previews onto the pages and while it is doing so I cannot do anything at all.
Starting to think I should have stayed with CS6.

@all – the above JavaScript (ExtendScript) in post #34 cannot work as expected on Mac OSX.
At best you will save a file named "Test\test.indd" on the desktop…
Instead I would recommend a slightly altered version:
var myFolder = new Folder("~/Desktop/Test");
if (!myFolder.exist) myFolder.create();
app.activeDocument.save(myFolder.fsName + "/" +Date.now()+"_test.indd");
See the "/" instead of "\\".
I changed it, so every time you execute it (and if it will not throw an error!), you'll get a new file with an unique file name.
("Date.now()" should be sufficient enough to generate a new sequence of a 13 digit number every time you try).
Or maybe even better: save a copy of your file:
var myFolder = new Folder("~/Desktop/Test");
if (!myFolder.exist) myFolder.create();
app.activeDocument.saveACopy(myFolder.fsName + "/" +Date.now()+"_test.indd");
All testing on Mac OS X 10.6.8.
@BienzBliemer – I think, the above script(s) will not work in your scenario, because InDesign has not finished something that goes on in the background. A hidden modal dialog that is not answered should not be the problem, because you can start up a script …

Elements 13 won't save .jpeg files

I have NIK collection installed and used it to create 2 layers. Now the save as..,. won't save as anything but .psd files. Is there a fix or workaround for this.

Actually, I have just done a test.
With a 16bit/channel image I can't create layers but I can save it as a JPG. I think that PSE 13 automtically converts it to 8bit/channel. Also, if the 8bit/channel image has layers then the PSE 13 will flatten it when saving as a JPG.
So, I haven't any idea why JPG can't be selected from the Save As dropdown list. It is defaulted to PSD but I can always change it.

Music won't save to file gallery with 5800 express...

I downloaded songs from the web before, but recently, they won't save to the file gallery. It just says music downloaded, but doesn't save. I can add music via ovi or dragging and dropping on my laptop, but not by downloading from sites on the web. I show 5.7GB free space, so memory card isn't full either.

Did you refresh the Library to confirm this ?

My downloads won't save, always "file not found." Doesn't seem to be profile or plugin problem

One day out of the blue, I started noticing that my usual downloads won't save to my designated folders, images, pdfs, and etc. Sure, the progress bar will indicate that it is being downloaded, but once it finishes it just disappears like it never existed. If I hover over the thing, it just shows "file not found." I can even see the file disappear right from the folder it was being downloaded to. I thought it was just a temporary bug since using plugin download manager like FlashGet works fine. Then I noticed even simple image with right click Save As to designated folder won't save as well. I tried looking for solutions: deleting download.rdf (not found); resetting download settings under about:config ( browser.download.dir
and browser.download.downloadDir not even found); clearing download history; delete downloads.sqlite and mimeTypes.rdf; and even running in safe mode. Nothing helped. I'm about at my wits end. I haven't changed my internet or security settings at all recently.

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

Elements 2 won't save a file as JPEG

Hi:
os is win xp sp2 home ed. using elements 2 for a very long time but suddenly, it will not save an image as JPEG. the file saves as a JPEG (but no thumbnail image) and can not be opened by any program - including elements 2! Elements 2 will save a file as TIF, PNG & BMP but no longer as JPEG! must be some simple thing I've done to interfere with the 'save as' process. would appreciate and tips you can offer on this.
thanks,
jim

You could try re-setting preferences -- as you start Elements press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (hope I'm remembering that right) and follow through the dialog box.

TextEdit.app won't save new files to sub-firs of my Documents dir

This just started happening recently. Right after I installed the last Pages update AAMOF.
I can successfully save a new document (.rtf) file to my Documents, but not to any sub-dir. The error dialog box says it can't save because file doesn't exists. And, this gets logged to the console:
TextEdit[283]: view service marshal for <NSRemoteView: 0x7fe8cb422cd0> failed to forget accessibility connection due to Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4099 "Couldn’t communicate with a helper application."
It's just TextEdit that's doing this, no other apps seem too be affected.

Thanks Griff W,
I ran disk utility, and although it reported lots of permissions issues with the iBooks app and some Printer stuff, nothing related to TextEdit.
I've done a little more investigating...
This is only happening on my i7 iMac at work. Everything is fine on my MacBook Pro and my i5 iMac at home. So, I guess we can discount the Pages update having anything to do with this.
Everything is up to date, updates wise, on all of my machines listed above.
I did enable FileVault encryption on my work i7 iMac around the 1st week of August. That could have possibly messed something up with TextEdit??
Again, this is just happening with TextEdit, when trying to save a new document to a sub-directory of my Documents dir. Similar saves to other directories and/or sub-dirs work just fine.
If I save a new TextEdit document to my Documents dir, that works. And, if I then move it to a sub-dir, I can successfully edit and save it again with TextEdit.
This is the message I get in the TextEdit dialog box when doing a failed new document save: The document “Untitled” could not be saved as “See.rtf”. The file doesn’t exist.What the heck does that mean anyway? The document/file "Untitled" doesn't exist.. well of course not, it's a new document!
I do have a bad habit of keeping unsaved "notes, reminders, todos, etc." as TextEdit documents laying around. And, doing logouts, reboots, etc. with these "unsaved" documents still laying around. Could that have contributed to this issue?
This isn't exactly a show stopper, I can work around it. It's more annoying then anything. Any ideas on how to fix things will be appreciated though.

I'm trying to import from an A-to-D converter. Final Cut Pro X won't save my files.

I have a VHS videotape I'm attempting to digitize. The tape is being played on an ordinary VCR, and converted from analogue to digital by a Dazzle* Hollywood DV-Pro conversion box, from where it goes directly into my Mac via FireWire.
Final Cut Pro X recognizes the converter, and displays the video and audio from the VCR. I can attempt a camera import like normal— it asks me into what Event I want to save the captured video, and the import time counter counts up normally. However, once I close the Import window, my imported files have not been saved as Clips! I checked both in FCP and in the Finder— there are no files in the Event I made to store my clips.
Does anyone have any ideas why this could be, and what I can do to try and fix it?

FCP won't work with this device. It requires timecode input when using the tape-based importer, which it isn't getting from the Dazzle.

3.0.1 won't save 3 files as one

three pcm .wav files are dragged side-by-side onto track one in multi-track view. they range in size from 2gB to 1/2 gB. they display in edit view as a single wave form that is five and one half hours in length. when the entire waveform is selected, in edit mode, then 'menu > file > save selection', the saved file is the third file in the files list, not the entire selection. when the save-selection is done, no file in the files list is selected. how can i convince audition 3 to save the entire selection? (using the "educational version" of audition 3.) --david

AA uses .wav files to save the audio. These have a maximum size of 4GB (or is it 2GB?). So your file can't be saved as a .wav file, it is too big. This is a Microsoft limitation not Audition. The only way to Save it is a a compressed file, say .mp3, so that it ends up smaller.

Acrobat v9.3.2 Won't Save PDF Files On W7 64 Bit

I have a dilemma that needs to be solved. I have a new Windows 7 64 bit system with several terabytes of legal documents stored locally, mostly in PDF. After loading Adobe Acrobat Standard v9.3.2 I find that while I can open PDF documents, I can only save edits/highlights/comments only once. However on all subsequent edits and save attempts Adobe delivers the message:
"The document could not be saved. The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder". I no for a fact that the file is not open elsewhere and if I view the security properties of the file it does not show as read-only. If I save the document with a new file name it behaves correctly just once, then begins delivering the same error message as the original PDF on all subsequent saves.
In addition to the built-in Windows accounts there is only one user account on the W7 system, it has password protection and administrative privileges. The PDF files that cannot be saved are all owned by this account and the account presumably has "full privileges". Further, the PDF documents themsvelves have "no security" and allow for editing/highlighting/commenting. It is important to add that many of the same PDF documents I'm trying to edit were easily edited and saved on a previous 32 bit Windows XP Pro system which this sytem replaced. Moreover, on a seperate 32 bit Windows 7 laptop and the 32 bit Adobe Acrobat Standard v9.3.2. these same PDF files stored on a network drive have no difficulty performing all the edit and save functions. However, if a sample PDF document stored on the local drive of the 64 bit W7 system is shared and accessed directly by the 32 bit W7 laptop system, the laptop/Adobe Standard will deliver the same error trying to editing and save the image stored on the 64 bit Windows 7 system.
I have tried running Acrobat on the 64 bit W7 desktop as "administrator" but the problem persisted.
My Acrobat Standard indicates there are no updates available.
I've pretty much exhausted everything I know to look for and I am stuck.
I hope someone can offer some insight to this.
Thanks in advance,
Sandy

I believe I may have found the problem and potential fix or workaround for the problem described in my original post.
Windows 7 has a feature in Windows Explorer that will if enabled show a file preview image in the rightmost pane when a file is selected or moused-over. If one selects an Abobe PDF document to launch Adobe Acrobat will launch in a seperate window while the Windows Explorer pane will show a thumbnail sized image of the first page of the PDF document in the Windows Explorer pane. The explorer window may even be behind the Acrobat application so once one is looking at the full document in Acrobat they may not even notice the thumbnail image in Windows Explorer.
On my setup, when this would happen I could edit a PDF document and save the PDF only once, but any further save would fail. Apparently the thumbnail in Windows Explorer is enough to make Acrobat believe the file is already open, or open by another user.
One workaround is that once Adobe Acrobat is launched explicitly look for and close the Windows Explorer showing the PDF thumbnail. One might also accomplish the same by moving the mouse over a different file so the thumbnail of the open PDF is not showing, or to turn off the preview function in Windows 7 Explorer altogether. I haven't yet tried the latter.
Acrobat is the only application on my W7 Pro system that doesn't play well with Windows preview mode. My MS Office apps have no difficulty saving even while showing thumbnails in the preview pane.
I hope this might be helpful to anyone else experiencing this problem.

Illustrator CS3 won't save ai files

I have Illustrator CS3 on Windows Vista Home on Dell Inspiron 530/530s
I have had this software for quite a while, but just recently it has stopped allowing me to save as an ai file. I can save in any other format just fine.
I have searched the web on this and tried every fix I saw, none of which worked. The most recent file is tiny, no fonts, 2 color! I was able to take it into Corel and save it as an ai and open it in Illustrator, but it would not resave in illustrator.
I have tried saving to desktop, checked print spooling was on auto (it was) etc. etc. I did buy 2 new HP printers recently. One is a laser P1515n, and the other a ink jet Photosmart C4680. Beyond that, nothing has changed.
This is a huge issue for me, and is causing down time trying to find an answer while being unproductive. HELP!?!~

That did not help

HT1338 Safari/Bonjour won't save .wav files to desktop without adding .html

I use the Dragon Dictate 3.4.0 with the Dragon Recorder app on my iPhone 5 (iOS7.0.4). This app allows for me to use a wifi connection to upload dictation (.wav) to the Mac. The instructions using Safari and Bonjour are simple to follow. However, when I right-click to save the .wav file Safari/Bonjour adds the extension .html to the file. This makes it unable to be read as a .wav file by Dragon transciption. I don't have this problem when following the instructions for using an alternate browser, in this case Firefox. The problem with using Firefox is the number of steps involved. It should be less cumbersome and using Safari/Bonjour would make it so.
Why is the .html extension being added to a .wav file when asking Safari to save it?

Does the ext directory have the php_oci8.dll? In the original steps the PHP dir is renamed. In the given php.in the extension_dir looks like it has been updated correctly. Since PHP distributes php_oci8.dll by default I reckon there would be a very good chance that the problem was somewhere else. Since this is an old thread I don't think we'll get much value from speculation.
