Can no longer save files in Motion 2

I have been working on a project in Motion all week (2.1.2). Tonight I tried creating a new file, and I couldn't save it - no dialogue box appears at all. I opened up the file I've been working on all week, made a minor change to see if I could save that file, and I couldn't. Export is not working either. I have searched discussions to find an answer, but nothing has helped. I deleted the com.apple.motion.plist file, but that didn't work. I also tried reinstalling and am currently now on 2.1, hoping that it would help to not run the upgrade to 2.1.2, but it still won't save. I have a huge deadline coming up fast, and I don't know what to do! The only explanation I can come up with is the updates that I ran earlier today, which included the following:
Mac OS X 10.6.7
iDVD 7.1.1
Garageband 6.0.2
iWeb 3.0.3
Safari 5.0.4
iTunes 10.2.1
Digital camera raw..3.6
Java Update 4 1.0
Any suggestions??

the problem is likely related to the fact that you're running an extremely old version of Motion, and the most recent version of Mac OS. I'm surprised it'll run at all. Of the updates you listed that's the most likely culprit. See if you can revert.
On a separate note, if you are working with obsolete software (5 years is a lifetime in software terms), you have to be EXTREMELY careful about updating your working configuration in any way. There's nothing wrong working with outdated software. If it serves your needs and you don't have to upgrade (or can't spend the money), that's fine. But understand that as other programs like the OS are updated, their compatibility with older software becomes more and more unlikely.
The way to do it, is to find the configuration that works best, and then stop updating. Don't update until you HAVE to, and realize that it'll likely force you to update a lot of your programs.

  • Can no longer save edited photos. get messages - "Nothing was imported" "The file or folders selected to import did not contain supported file type.

    Can someone help. I use Photoshop Elements 13. I can no longer save edited photos. get messages - "Nothing was imported" "The file or folders selected to import did not contain supported file type. It started this a couple of weeks ago and I had a friend come fix it just 2 days ago. It took him several hours and I lost all tags I had on over 10,000 pictures. Now it has done it again. I'm so upset. I lost a lot of stuff. I don't want to keep bothering him with this. Please Help.

    How did you import the files to your computer?
    What model  number camera?

  • I can no longer save a Numbers spreadsheet.  Why?

    I can no longer save a Numbers spreadsheet.. Why?

    Rodeo,
    I received the file you emailed.  Without opening the file:
    I can tell you that you were NEVER able to save the file.  This is a Microsoft excel file (which we know because the extension is ".xls").  Numbers can open excel files then you can save the file as a Numbers file OR you can export the file back to excel using the menu item "File > Export To > Excel..."
    Did you create the file in Excel?  If so you can continue to edit the file in excel.  If you double clicked the file and it opened in Numbers then you need to answer the question which application do you want to use (Numbers or Excel)?

  • At my last update I can no longer save my tabs before shutting down. Can you help?

    At my last update I can no longer save my tabs before shutting down. Can this be changed?

    Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
    Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" if you want to restore multiple windows.<br />
    You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.<br />
    Another possibility is to use:

  • I can no longer attach files to my outgoing Hotmail emails.  I only receive a message that an  error has occurred. Help appreciated.

    I can no longer attach files to my outgoing Hotmail emails.  I only receive a message where I would expect the Upload to appear that an  error has occurred.
    I am using a MacBook Pro with Retina, 2 Ghz Intel Core i7, OS X 10.9.4
    I have no difficulty attaching files to the outgoing Hotmails on the same account using my iPhone.
    Help appreciated.

    Thanks for this - not an immediate solution I fear but will keep unplugging stuff and restarting stuff.
    To try and be clearer about the problem - I have in the last managed to send attachments successfully.  Now  I can send and receive plain email messages but get the error message when I try to attach an existing file to an email - not just a particular file but it would appear all files are being treated in the same way. 
    An experiment to send a mail to which an attachment has failed to upload got the following message alongside the SEND button
    Files with errors will be removed from the email and not sent.
    - but the mail alone was sent and received successfully.  Thanks for any pointers you can give me. 

  • I have a Mac OSX 10.6.8 and I can no longer "save to iphoto" when photos come by email.

    I have a Mac OSX 10.6.8 and I can no longer "save to iPhoto " when I get photos on email.

    What changed, before you could no longer save image attachments to iPhoto?
    Did you install new software or upgrade to newer versions?  Which version of iPhoto are you using?
    The "Save to iPhoto" feature has been missing for some iPhoto versions. I do not remember exactly when it vanished, but it is back with iPhoto 9,6 and MacOS X 10.10.2.
    As  a work-around - you can drag photo attacuments from your mail to the iPhoto icon in the Dock to save them to iPhoto.

    I have been using the new version of ACR with PS6 and have been able to open the D750 files,now I'm stuck.
    Thanks,

    You were probably using the Release Candidate version of camera raw 8.7, which one gets from Adobe Labs.

  • I'm using a Mac / Leopard. I can no longer "save as" an image. Please see the "details" section for more information. Thanks.

    I'm using a Mac / Leopard. Beginning about a month ago, I can no longer "save as" an image. The "Save Image As" menue comes up -- but then nothing. I can drag images onto the desktop, but that's it. I tossed out Firefox, and then downloaded it and reinstalled it, but have the same problem. (I couldn't figure out how to get rid of profiles and bookmarks -- so they remained). As I type this question on the Firefox website, I don't see the forum in front of me -- just a window to type a question. So, if you answer this question, I'm not sure I'll be able to find the answer. Thus, if you'd be so kind as to also email me the answer, that would be greatly appreciated: davidfreeman11 AT gmail.com Thanks

    If the previous Safari suggestion doesn't work try the following:
    In Finder, go to Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins and move AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin to the Disabled Plug-ins Folder.  Restart Safari.  If this works you may just want to delete that FUBAR plug-in.
    Thanks.  This was the solution for me.

    That is definitely odd, grantcool. Let's help restore this important data transfer feature. To confirm, when you connect the USB cable to your phone and computer > Pull down the Notification Bar > Select USB Connected > Can you choose Media Sync (MTP) ?

  • After installing Mavericks I can no longer save a new word document or pdf by typing the name of the destination folder in the Finder window.  The save button greys out.  Solutions anyone?

    After installing Mavericks I can no longer save a new word document or pdf by typing the name of the destination folder in the Finder window.  The save button greys out.  Solutions anyone?

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
    This action will delete any custom Mail stationery that you have created. If you want to preserve it, ask for instructions.
    If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

    Thank you for posting on Adobe forums.
    Could you please let me know what Adobe Writer program you are talking about. Is it Adobe Acrobat or Reader?
    Could you please share the screenshot of the exact error message that appears.
    Are the PDF forms saved on your computer's local drive?
    Hope to hear from you.
