Auto-save won't auto-save!!

I have my auto-save set to save every 4 mins for a maximum of 50 versions. I have been working on this project for two days non stop and PP just crashed. I go to my auto-save folder and there are 8 (!!!) versions only. 8!!!!!!! I've looked everywhere on the web but couldn't find a solution. I'm well aware of the bug report link. Does anyone know of a reason why this could be happening? I worked in FCP7 for 6 years and the auto-save function never failed on me even once. Rock solid every time. I'm on a brand new iMac.... this shouldn't be happening to me!! Anyone?!

No, that's why we should make sure to manually save copies and backups of progressive versions of our projects.
You shouldn't rely solely on an application which may not always act as expected to save reliably for you.

  • Outlook 2013 won't auto-save emails if encryption or digital signature is enabled.

    In Outlook 2013, I recently noticed that although I have Autosave enabled, I never get drafts autosaved. The option is located in File > Options > Mail > "Save Messages" section > "[ ] Automatically save items that have not been
    sent after this many minutes [3]."
    Experimenting with why I have lost 2 long emails after system crashes, I discovered that Outlook 2013 will
    only automatically save emails if the Encrypt and Sign buttons are turned off. By default, I enable both in our corporate environment. So I never benefit from auto-save. I've changed the Autosave location and tested various other settings to
    no avail. But Autosave always works fine if there's no digital signature or encryption enabled.
    Has anyone else encountered this? Is this a bug?

    Hi,
    I just tested on my Outlook 2013 and experienced exactly the same.
    This is pretty much by design, actually you may find you are even unable to manually save these emails as drafts if encryption or digital signature is enabled.  I can also confirm some email service providers don't allow saving Encrypted Emails
    as drafts either, so this is not a bug but how it works in Outlook.

  • JWS Won't Auto Launch on Windows

    I just switched from my current web server to Apache2.0.45, and the .jnlp files on the website won't auto launch anymore when I click on them. Instead, it launches a dialog window asking whether I want to open/save the file. I have tried to configure "Folder Option" on extension ".jnlp", and I have tried unchecking the "Always ask me for this operation" box on the dailog box, nothing worked. I found out that if you clicked "save" the window pops up and save the file in a directory, it will auto launch that file(only that file) afterwards even if you delete that file from your local directory. Could anyone tell me why this is happening? Thanks.

    Did you add the mime type to the new webserver?
    AFAIK, apache doesn't have it.
    the Web server must be configured to return the proper MIME type for the JNLP content -- and that MIME type must be
    application/x-java-jnlp-file
    (in the apache conf directory file mime.types)

  • Display won't sleep and screen saver won't sart

    I upgraded to the new OS and the display won't sleep and screen saver won't come on. Help please.

    Long shot.
    Do a backup.
    Quit the application.
    In Finder hold down the option/alt key while selecting the Go menu item. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
    If you want to make your user library permanently visible, run the below command in Applications/Utilities/Terminal.
    chflags nohidden ~/Library/
    You will need to do that after any updates.

  • Why won't Mail save stationery? with OS X Lion

    I have checked
    Why won't Mail save stationery?
    but it applies for Lepoard so what about Lion?
    Any Help? I did remove all the signature yet, still cannot save it.

    I've solved it!
    When you have saved the stationery, and opened a new email, make sure you have NO SIGNATURE.
    If you have 'None' in the signature drop down list, then the template will display fine.
    If you have a signature automatically added to emails, it interferes with the template being displayed and all you get is the signature.
    So start with a blank email and no signature, before you select your custom-saved stationery.

  • Finder won't auto arrange by kind-

    Hi,
    Since some time my Finder won't auto arrange my files by kind anymore. If I select this option, it simply doesn't do anything. I can auto arrange by name, dates, size, anything except for by kind. THis wouldn't be so much of a problem, if it weren't the only option I actually use to auto arrange…
    Been trying to find a solution, but I don't find anything on the internet, and I don't seem to be able to fix it myself either.
    Anyone who has experienced the same problem and knows how to fix it? Or someone who doesn't have the problem and knows how to fix this?
    Thanks in advance

    OK, it just works here, so I'd try this after my investigations...
    First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
    Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
    Reboot & test.
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

  • Outlook 2013 - BCC field won't auto populate with frequent email recipient.

    Outlook 2013 - BCC field won't auto populate with frequent email recipient. In the TO or CC, if they enter the first initial of a recipient, it auto-suggests recipients. This does not happen in the BCC field. Is there an option to turn that on?

    Hi,
    Does this issue happen to a certain client or many of them?
    There is no separate option to enable/disable auto-complete for Bcc field.
    Since auto-complete works in the To and Cc fields, it means the auto-complete is not corrupt. We may try turn off the Auto-Complete and turn on it again to see the result. To do this, go to
    File > Options > Mail, scroll down to the
    Send messages section, clear the check box before "Use Auto-Complete List to suggest names when typing in the To, Cc, Bcc lines". Click
    OK. Check the box again, click OK and see the result.
    We may also test it in Outlook safe mode. To do this, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
    outlook.exe /safe and press Enter.
    Please let me know the result.

  • Screen saver won't start since Lion upgrade. Two different machines, same issue.

    Screen saver won't start since Lion upgrade. Two different machines, same issue. Help

    For anyone following this thread, I've found a solution to my problem. Turns out that a cute widget called FishTank appears to be the culprit. With it running in Dashboard (even when I don't see Dashboard) the Screensaver and Sleep functions don't work. I turned it off, not because I'm clever, just because I tired of it, and voilà, Screensaver and Sleep are now working. It can stay in my widgets list without any problem, it just can't be turned on. I'm going to delete it anyway, however.
    Hope this points the way to solutions for some of the rest of you!
    Cheers!

  • Mavericks won't auto capitalize "I" on system level.

    Hi there. I just upgraded to a new machine and installed Mavericks on it. My issue is that while typing, Mavericks won't auto capitalize the letter "I" even with the "Correct Spelling Automatically" and text replacement options enabled. I am NOT using Pages. This is happening on any text box. It also seems that "I'm" will sometimes auto correct and sometimes not. I know it's a minor annoyance, but any help would be appreciated.

    Ditto here! Notes app, Mail app, basically any app will not capitalise "i", even when writing this message!!! OS X also does not capitalise the "i" in "i'm", or "i've"
    Can any OS X experts out there offer any suggestions. A work-around i've done was to create a shortcut in the keyboard settings so that when i type "ii" it will auto convert to an "I", its just that i sometimes forget and have to go through my whole document correcting any and all "i"'s. I also need to do the same with "i'm" and "I've". Very annoying.
    Many thanks

  • Ipod Touch 4G Won't Auto-Lock Properly

    I got my iPod Touch a few days ago and everything worked well with the auto-lock/dimming initially.
    Today, however, the iPod won't auto-lock. I can manually lock the iPod screen, but I'd like the 1 min auto-lock to work.
    I have verified the settins are at 1 min.
    I also quit all programs--even restarted the iPod--but it's still not working.
    Around 45 secs the screen will dim, but will not lock. This happens both while I'm listening to music and when I'm not using any apps. (and I have also forced the multitasking apps to quit behind the scenes just to make sure)
    I know for sure that the screen will "never" lock while I'm listening to music. Occassionally it will lock when I"m not using any apps....but that is very inconsistent.
    Any advice?

    There are two settings - Auto Lock and Passcode Lock.
    Make sure to set them both properly.

  • Composition widget slideshow won't auto resume on mobile

    I have a composition widget which is working as a slideshow. Works absolutely fine on desktop but the scaled down mobile version won't auto resume once you touch a slide.
    I have tried changing resume after times but it makes no difference. It also makes no difference if show target is set to click or rollover.
    If anyone can offer any suggestions, it's the first time I've encountered this issue!
    Thanks.
    It

    yes thank you, that does solve the problem.  I'm guessing this is an issue with muse, its a pity you can't still have swipe and auto-resume, maybe Adobe could comment on this?
    Thanks again

  • My Macbook Pro won't auto delete old TM files

    My wife's Macbook pro won't auto delete old files on the TM disc. I think it has to do with using a time capsule. I'd rather stop that and just use the WD Passport but how do I do that?

    Hi..
    My power cord has been trying to go out on me for a few weeks and tonight it just went capooey
    If there's a power issue on your Mac, it's doubtful uninstalling and reinstalling software will make any difference.
    Try Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters
    If the adapter is ok, try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

  • Display won't go to sleep / screen saver won't turn on

    Since upgrading to Snow Leopard instead of the screen saver activating or the screen going to sleep when inactive, the screen goes dark for about a second and then flashes back on. It's resulted in images being burned into my screen a couple of times now.
    If I manually activate the screen saver then the screen saver stays active and after a minute the display goes to sleep. Also, if I'm using Front Row the screen will go to sleep without a problem. I've tried turning off all apps to test it if one of them is preventing it, and and it still happens.
    Anyone else have this happening?

    The screensaver preference file is stored in ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.screensaver.xxxxxxx.plist, where xxxxxxx is a UID for your machine. By moving this file out of the folder, your screensaver settings will be reset to the defaults.
    The power settings are stored in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist.
    If your new user does not have the problem, then the preference problem may be in your ~/Library/Preferences folder.

  • JPEG/PSD issue--I open a jpeg and edit it (levels, crop) and then "save as" and the save as option shows there are now levels in the image and it wants to save it as a .psd file or a copy with layers.  What am I doing that has these settings appear?

    16bit? Pixels extending beyond the canvas? (from a crop with delete unused pixels turn off).  Have you previously been saving PSD files?
    IME you sometimes have to tell Photoshop that the first save of a session is JPG, and it remembers from there on.  The way to 'tell' Photoshop that JPG, or PDF, or PNG etc are now your preferred format is to Ctrl (Cmd) click on that format in the Save As drop down list.  So long as the file does not have parameters that your chosen format does not support, then this should work for you.
    [EDIT]  Just noticed that you did include 'Crop' in the subject line.  Do you have 'Delete cropped pixels' checked?
