Automator won't save as Application

Why doesn't automator allow saving workflows as applications anymore?
The only option is that rediculous "save version" feature. If you want to call it a feature.
Using version 2.2

Ok figured it out. This is very lame you have to choose file duplicate to... then select the Application template, then you can save as application. Apple has finally hired too many folks from Microsoft.

  • Automator won't save workflow

    'when I try to save my workflow, I get a messaging saying I do not have permission to save it, that i should find the item in Finder, and choose File-Get Info. What item? The item is not in finder because i can't save it.

    That is what your message was telling you - look in the folder where you are trying to save and use Get Info to see what the permissions are (although it is pretty much worthless for showing access control lists).

  • Why won't my iMovie application save my projects?

    I have just started to use iMovie and was thinking it's too good to be true...easy to use etc. Then I shut down the application to have a break and come back to it later only to find my project I spent a couple of hours on was all gone.
    Why is this happening?

    BTW...I'm on OSX 10.6.8, iMovie 09 and I imported from a DV tape camcorder...is the tape DV files the problem maybe?? Should I upgrade to Lion or maybe try install iMovie HD to see if that works? Need someone's informed opinion on this as I have hrs of editing work to do and presently can't do it because MY PROJECTS WON'T SAVE!!!!!

  • My iPhone 4 refuses to save pictures and at some instances, delete my existing pictures. I take a picture, and then go to camera roll and look, but it doesn't show up. The same thing happens when I try to screenshot things; it won't save.

    My iPhone 4 is severely making me mad. It won't save any pictures I take. I will take the picture, then go to view it in the Camera Roll, and it just won't be there. The same thing occurs when screen shotting things on my iPhone. Some times it won't even let me delete the existing pictures I had on my phone before this all happened. I will click delelte, then it will pause, and eventually close me out of the photos app. However, when I go to settings, it says I have 440MB of pictures on here somewhere. But I can oly see 3 pictures in the camera roll. Also, it says in the camera roll app that it is 'Restoring...' then just sits and loads and won't restore anything at all. HELP ME PLEASE. I have iOS 7.1 currently installed.

    Have you Tried Clearing the The Cache in the Camera or Gallery in your Applications Area.. Go to Settings--> Applications--> Manage Applications--> Select All--> Clear the Cache in Both the Camera & Gallery Clearing the Data however might Clear you Pictures in your Gallery but if your Ok with it Give it a Shot,

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 won't save scanned document in searchable PDF or .rtf format

    HP Officejet Pro  8600 won't save scanned document in searchable PDF or .rtf format
    The scanner scans the document without a problem but when I select 'SAVE' and
    specify a location and file name, a system error 'The HP scan application was
    unable to save the file to the specified location'.  It will save a regular PDF file
    or a  JPG file with no problem, but trying to save an searchable PDF or .rtf file
    results in the above mentioned system error.
    This problem occurs either from HP SCAN or from the 8600 scan panel.
    The computer is running Windows XP and the I.R.I.S. OCR software is
    loaded.

  • XY Graph Won't save to JPEG when Black and White...and run from TestStand.

    I am creating an XY graph and manipulating the colors of the plots, background, etc.  I am saving this graph to JPEG using the Write JPEG File vi and after it is saved I import it inot a test report.  This works fine in color, but when I create a B&W plot, it won't save to JPEG.  Let me clarify:  It won't save to JPEG when I run the VI from TestStand.  It does save to JPEG when I run the VI as a stand alone application in LabVIEW. 
    Problem:
    Run VI from LabVIEW ~ Saves the JPEG in both Color and B&W.
    Run VI from TestStand ~ Saves the JPEG in Color, but does not save the JPEG in B&W.    
    Here is how I am making all the plots and background B&W in my code:
    Change all Active Plots to Black using property node.
    Change all Active Cursors to Black using property node.
    Change the Plot BG colors (major/minor grids, etc) to lighter colors using property node. 
    Does anybody have any suggestions? 
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    A few questions: What version of LV are you using? How are you getting the control image that you are sending to the JPG? Third what exactly happens when you try to save the B/W image under TestStand? Error?

  • Firefox won't save images or web pages, even after upgrading, reinstalling and resetting... How do I fix this?

    A couple upgrades ago, I noticed that Firefox wouldn't boot properly. According to "Task Mgr.", it would load partially with a "*32" after it's name in the listing, but not enough to display a window on screen. After ending the process, and restarting the program again it would usually boot fully. (not always, but usually) The "*32" confuses me as I run a 64bit Windows 7 system and during installation I was sure that I saw mention of a 64bit program being installed. Apparently, after the last upgrade, that issue was resolved; but Task Mgr. still lists the program with a "*32" after it.
    The issue now at hand is that Firefox won't save images online or save web pages. I'll right-click and select "save image as" or "save page as" and... nothing. No box appears prompting me to name a file or designate a location to save that file to. Nor does anything happen when I use the "File" menu for the same function either. This is, to say the least, is very frustrating. There may be other things not functioning that I'm not currently aware of, but I haven't been able to or had time to do a complete check of the functionality of the program. I've never had issues of any significance with Firefox in the past. It's always been very reliable for me, so I'm hoping there's a relatively quick fix that I simply haven't been made aware of yet...
    Thank you for your suggestions and time looking into this matter...

    It probably will take a little time to work through this troubleshooting article, but hopefully you will get a complete solution: [[What to do if you can't download or save files]].
    Regarding the *32, I see the same thing on Win 7 Pro x64. No worries. Firefox for Windows is compiled only as a 32-bit application.

  • IWeb won't save work in Lion.

    Hello,
    I've been using iWeb for a cuple of years, and have been creating quite a few web sites by now.
    Recently, i switched to Lion, and saved my Domain file from Leopard, to the fresh new copy of Lion.
    But now, in Lion, iWeb won't save my work/changes.
    I've modified a site 4 times allready. As usual, i used Cmd+S and/or File>Save in order to consrve my work before the actual publishing to the MobileMe Domain. When I modify and publish my web site, the changes are present on the online version, but after i quit the application, everything comes back to the old version of the web site in iWeb. it doesn's matter whether I save or my work with Cmd+S or File>Save, nothing works. Everytime I have to start from the old version of the web site and modify everything again.
    Has anyone encountered this problem and can she/he provide a solution for it?
    Thake you very much for your time!

    No, I have only one Domain file. Inside this Domain file, there are 2 sites. But for the past year it has been the same, and it worked well under Snow Leopard.
    The Domain file (saved from Snow Leopard), i copied it to Users/user_name/Library/Application Support/iWeb. Of course, I overwrote the existing one (the sample one that comes with iWeb by default).
    As far as I know, this should be the wright place to put it. Proof is that after installing Lion and putting the Domain file in the above named folder, iWeb recognized the Domain file and showed me my 2 web sites.
    So i guess the problem doesn't come from here. It must be something different...

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Energy Saver preferences won't save, I want to kill my mac

    When I change the preferences in Energy Saver, in the System Preferences, to shut down the computer at 10 am, it won't save the change.
    I go ahead and unlock Energy Saver (I'm the Admin), make my changes, lock it, and exit. Upon re-entry to the Energy saver screen it shows none of my changes. I tried restarting after making my changes and that did nothing either.
    Some number of months ago I told my computer I needed it to shut down at 3:30 am because I often forgot to shut it off when I went to bed. Now it's seemingly perma-stuck on shutting down at 3:30 am when I don't need it to. Frequently I need to leave a download going but my bleeping computer shuts off at 3:30 am in the middle of the download and I have to either start over or wait 5 hours for it to finish when it could've been downloaded while I slept.
    This is a ridiculous problem to be having and I can't figure out why the changes won't save.

    If you lock the Energy Saver pane of System Preferences immediately after changing the setting, it might not be able to record those changes; in many cases, changes made to an application's preferences take effect once the window has been closed instead of immediately once the setting is made. Before closing the padlock, move to another pane of System Preferences or the main screen.
    Basically, this happens because administrator access is needed to write the changes to the disk or PRAM, but you revoked this access when you closed the padlock, which stops the changes from being saved.

  • Won't save in classic mode

    I have a G3 iBook with OS 10.3.9 and OS 9 that runs in Classic mode. My applications that use classic won't save to disk. I get a message that says "File saving not allowed in that area". I bought the computer used so I don't know how it was set up. What do I need to do to get saving permission in classic mode?

    Thanks for the tip.
    I did run the utility and the log showed errors found and repaired. I ran it a second time and no errors found. I started up Excel, which runs on classic on my machine, and tried to save to the desktop. I got the same "Saving in this area not allowed" message. I bought an external disk by Lacie to use as a backup and I can't even save directly to that disk when running an application in Classic mode. I can save a file to disc in Texteditor, then open it in Word and save the file in Word, but I can't save a new file created in Word.

  • Numbers 3.0 won't save files!

    Numbers 3.0 suddenly won't save files on my Macbook Pro.
    I opened a .csv file, made some changes in Numbers, and tried to Save to my desktop.  I get a window that says "The file '[filename].numbers' couldn't be opened". 
    I tried to Export to a .xls file, and also Share>Send a Copy>Email and chose Excel as the option.  Same message about not being able to open the file.
    This makes Numbers totally unusable for me.  And for some reason, the old version of Numbers is suddly gone, so no fallback there anymore.
    Any tips?

    And for some reason, the old version of Numbers is suddly gone, so no fallback there anymore.
    Hi Oslo,
    Numbers 3 exports to Excel fine on my machine, though it uses the extension .xlsx not .xls.
    Same with Share>Send a Copy>Email. Works fine.
    So maybe you should try closing Numbers 3 and reopening it, or restarting your Mac.
    Your old version of Numbers should still be on your Mac, in a subfolder within Applications named iWork '09 or similar.
