"Can not Save file name " InDesign CS6 - Cloud---WTF!

Hello anyone
This new Cloud Adobe CS6 is SO buggy.
not my first issue with it...
I am using
Cloud version of - but locally installed
Trial version of CS6 InDesign.
iMac - mountain lion 10.8.1
i7/12Gig RAM. SSD, and 1 T platter drive.
Anyway-
After many HOURS of InDesign work.
Many pages, lots of stuff.
I exported my work as PDF to send to my boss. Worked fine.
But I can't save the working file.
All Save menu items are grayed out.
The astericks is there in the window title.
When I just close the file- I am prompted to Save the file or lose my work.
I hit Save and get window
"can not save filename"
with no error code.
NOTHING!
This has happened twice. First time not a lot had been done to the file.
So I just re-started the iMac
This time I stand to lose some real work here.
Does this happen if I just use the free version!?!?!?!?
I will happily pay after my trial but if this is what the new CS6 has in store, then screw Adobe.
Can anyone help me???

There's no difference in fuctionality between paid and free versions.
There are two things worth trying, if you haven't already closed and lost the file. The first is to export to .idml, open that and see if you can save it with a new name: Remove minor corruption by exporting
The second is riskier as it depends on ID's amazing file recovery after a crash. If the method above fails you haven't got a lot to lose, though, so here here's the next thing I would try:
Force Quit Indesign. See Replace Your Preferences and use the manual method to replace the InDesign Defaults and InDesign SavedData files (and while you're at it, make a backup copy of the InDesign Recovery folder). Also see Adobe Forums: InDesign crashes at startup and delete the additional files in John's post. If you need to delete or copy hidden files and don't know how to access them, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion
When all that is done, restart InDesign. With luck, autorecovery will open the file again with not much missing and you can try to save it.

  • CS6 can not save files over 2GB???????

    I need to make a giant poster at 6ft wide x 5 ft tall. I created a blank document in CS6 at 200ppi. I created some text, and imported a couple of 25MB images. I am unable to save the file as a .PSD because it indicates that PS can not save files over 2GB.
    1. How did this file grow to become over 2GB?
    2. Why can PS not save a .PSD over 2GB?
    3. What do you do if you need to create a large format print such as this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Very true.
    However, Jeff knows exactly what he's doing and he's very, very good at it.  If your image were fortunate enough to end up being printed by Jeff Schewe, he'd be able to tell you exactly what kind of an image file he wants from you. 
    Always check with the printer.

  • "Could not save (file name) because the file is already in use or left open."

    Hello,
    When I tried save as a file, I get an error msg:
    "Could not save (file name) because the file is already in use or left open."
    The file is not open anywhere accept Photoshop.
    Mac Pro, OSX 10.5.6
    Photoshop CS4.
    I searched the forum but could not find anything even though i'm sure someone already asked it.
    would love to get a solution for that.
    thank you,
    shlomit

    There is a problem with both Photoshop and InDesign, then we can blame wich ever it is.
    1. I open a .psd file in Photoshop CS4 by double clicking it in Bridge
    2. This image is placed on a page in a open InDesign document.
    3. Doing some changes in Photoshop on the image.
    4. Trying to save and get this error message (this topics subject)
    5. Deleting the image from the page in ID doc, it is the only one in the document.
    6. Can't still save file.
    7. Closing ID completely and now I am able to save the file.
    I tried turning of Live preflight in Indegisn but that didn't help.
    So probably the fault is InDesign or the MacOS. I didn't have this problem with CS3. It is a stupid problem because this type of workflow is pretty common and one would expect it to be solved by now.

  • Error of "Could not save (file name) because write access was not granted

    Error of "Could not save (file name) because write access was not granted. The users are pulling the files from a Mountain Lion server. They all have read\write access. If they try to save the file in the same directory they get that error but they can save it anywhere else on the sharepoint. If they save it in another directory then reopen it make a change and do a save as they can save it back to the original directory. Has anyone else come across this same issues

    It is an enterprise solution. I just do not see why you cant save directly to the server. It seems to get weird errors. Some Adobe stuff saves fine on the server and some of it doesnt. It seems Adobe related. The permissions on the server are set correctly so it isnt a permission error

  • Error: Could not save "file name" because the file name was not valid. (PS CS6 + WIN 7)

    I have recently purchased a new desktop under WIN 7 as well as Adobe Creative Suite CS6.
    My first internal hard disk is 2 TB, the second one installed is from my old PC, 250 GB.
    I am getting this error when trying to save a file over an existing file using the “Save” command.
    The message is wrong, because the file name IS valid.
    This error is persistent.
    This error does not occur when doing the same action on my second internal hard disk.
    This error happens on files larger than about 1MB in weight.
    What happens is that the original file over which I try to do the ”Save” command gets corrupted and lost.
    If I don't use the “Save as” command to save my work under a different name, my work is lost.
    The same problem occurs with both PS CS6 versions, 64 Bit and 32 Bit.
    I am very disappointed and annoyed with this happening.
    Any idea what is going on here?

    ok ...
    I think I have resolved this.
    I forgot to mention that I have Sugarsync over that file structure.
    However, I do not know if Sugarsync has anything to do with the error.
    I copied the whole folder structure under a newly created folder, and I am no longer getting the error.
    Thanks

  • Random Artifact and "Could not save (file name) because the file is already in use or left open."

    Hi,
    I've been working on a collage for school, and I 'merged all layers below into one layer', and photoshop left me a random artifact on all my masks. Also, the same file has been suffering the 'Could not save...' problem. I have taken older versions of the file, brought them back to where I had been, and then a similar artifact appears (from various actions). Once the artifact appears, I can undo the action but not the artifact, and the file is useless. It happen on a second file, but the artifact was different (a rectangular hole in the middle of the masks).
    I have a MBP/4GB/MacOSX 10.6.4, everything is up to date.
    If anyone has any suggestions, it would be really appreciated... I'm working for a deadline at school.
    Thanks,
    Patrick

    Hi Chris,
    I have updated both the Adobe suite and the MacOSX. My school has CS5. The holes cut into the image in a geometric pattern (the rectangles) are the random artifact (cropped below).
    Also, I understand 'Could not save...' means it could not save... Why it cannot save seems to be the issue. I believe you understand the circumstances of the 'Could not save...' issue, and it isn't simply that another program has it open.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/370206?start=50&tstart=0
    I don't really know if it's Adobe, Apple, or Windows issue, and I don't think it really matters. It is a problem in Photoshop, which would make it an Adobe problem... and waiting for a fix doesn't seem to be a satisfactory answer.
    I don't want to make this tread about politics, I want to fix my file, and I thought it might be another symptom to a bigger problem.
    Thanks for your response,
    Patrick

  • Can not change file names in finder

    Several times over the past week I have not been able to change existing file names in Finder. The mouse moves normally and can highlight the name, but the keyboard instructions, including "delete" or typing, does not result in any response. All other programs continue to function normally.
    Restarting the computer solved the issue for a while, but it happened again.
    Reading over the previous posts, none of them apply (I do not have those programs).
    Any idea why this happens and how do I fix it?

    This same thing happens occasionally (or maybe rarely is a better word) for different users here at my work.
    I haven't had the problem myself, and thought it was gone now when everyone is running Mac OS 10.4.7 (we ran 10.4.5 just recently) but a user just got the problem 5 minutes ago. All apps except Finder respond to keystrokes.
    Relaunching the Finder using "Force Quit..." from the Apple solves it, but I guess sooner or later the problem will come back.
    Would be great to know what's causing it.

  • Could not save 'file name' due to program error mac CS6

    Please help reguarding this question.
    Its not ok.

    Installing the update does require restarting Photoshop.
    The majority of the file saving problems we've seen are with file servers.
    Are you having trouble with a particular format, or just one document?

  • Firefox will not open on startup and takes over system resorces. Uninstalled. When attempting to reinstall, installer will not run from website, and can not save file to HD. No error message, it just never appears.

    After a system reboot, Firefox would not open. I opened the task manager, and saw that Firefox was using alot of memory, and was using 50% of the CPU. I ended the process, and restarted. The situation just repeated several time.
    I uninstalled Firefox using uninstall programs from the control panel.
    I then tried to run the Firefox installer from the website, it would open the download window, then the "run the install" window. After clicking "Run", the window just closes. So I attempted to just download the install file, and clicked "Save". I tried to save the file to several different locations. A download window would open, and run, but the file would not be there.
    I was running 3.6.12, the current version. And that is was I tried to install. After that failed, I also tried to install the beta 4, with the same results.
    No error messages have opened, and I have run scans for malware/spyware, and didn't see anything that jumped out as a problem. I am running Win Explorer right now. And it is running fine, but I much prefer my Firefox.

  • Solved my Illustrator CS4 (Can not save file) issue (same as with Illustrator CS3)

    Using Illustrator CS4, if the OS default printer is turned off, Illustrator will crash when saving the file to a name/format other than what it was opened as. I tested this and it's true, the bug exists in Illustrator CS4 (and was referenced in a ticket in this knowledge base on the CS3 product).
    You'd think ADOBE would figure out how to DOCUMENT this feature!!
    Set your default printer to ADOBE.PDF and all will be fine!

    You do have to have a default printer how you were able to run Illustrator is a mystery unless they change this behavior in CS 3 which I was not aware of but perhaps it is something I forgot.
    But I for one am glad you discovered the cause and cure and that you posted it, I don't have the problem but thank you.

  • How do I save my file using InDesign CS6 so that it can be opened with CS5?

    I know other people asked similar questions but I can't find anything that helps me figure my issue out.
    Basically, I packaged my file using InDesign CS6. When I sent it to the person it needed to be sent to, she couldn't open it. She was running CS5.
    So now I'm trying to REpackage it still using CS6 but when I make an IDML version and try to package it, it says that I need to SAVE it. Well the only options are CS6, which I can't use again, and another IDML version. If I did the IDML it would just save it as another untitled document and then I'd have to start all over.
    Actually I just tried that, and InDesign crashed.
    Any suggestions?

    Hey,
    There is no such function in InDesign as 'saving to a lower version' (as it is in e.g. FrameMaker). There are interchange formats: obsolete INX (CS2,CS3,CS4) and current IDML (CS5, CS5.5, CS6).
    You need to export (ctrl+e) previously saved document into IDML and attach to existing INDD file (Attaching is not necessary as IDML is a self-sufficient file). Also it's a really good idea to attach a PDF file (from CS6) as there might be some differences when opening a IDML from higher file in lower version program.
    Final package could look like this:
         Document fonts
         Links
              original file.indd
              original file.idml
              original file.pdf
    best regards

  • Can only open .indd files within InDesign CS6

    I am using InDesign CS6 (cloud version) on Windows XP. I can only open .indd files by opening InDesign CS6, doing File>Open, and then browsing for the file.
    If I try to go to the folder where the .indd file is located (without opening InDesign CS6), and double-click on it, it acts like it doesn't know what kinf of file it is.
    Another co-worker of mine is experiencing the same thing on Windows 7.
    Does anyone have suggestions on what to try to fix this?
    Thanks in advance!

    Uninstall, run the clean tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3), and reinstall. The symptoms you describe are typical if the icon handler .dll file is damaged.
    Try turning off your anti-virus and spyware scanners, and anthing else not required to run the system before you reinstall.

  • I can't save an old InDesign file to the new version

    I can't save an old InDesign file to the new version. I keep getting this message:
    I can only save the file as .IDML.

    This happens to ALL old InDesign files on my iMac (problem does not happen on my Macbook pro). I have saved the files as .idml and opened them again. I get the same error when I try to save the file as .indd. They can ONLY be saved as .idml.
    I never embed images and do not have font issues (file was created on the same iMac as it is being opened on now).
    Sometimes I get an error when I first try to open an old file - it ays the file is damaged and can't be opened. I try again right after and it opens fine.

  • I am able to click on a picture in iPhoto to edit it opens automatically in photoshop cs6.  However when i am done editing I can not save that image back into iPhoto.  Can anyone help with a setting I am missing maybe?

    I am able to click on a pic in iphoto to edit it and opens automatically in photoshop CS6. However when I am done editing and save I can not save back into Iphoto.  Can any one help wiht this?

    Thanks Terence. What a relief. I still don't understand what the book I read was talking about then. Here's a quote from the section I was referring to in "iPhoto 08: The Missing Manual" book, p 91 (ISBN: 0596-516185):
    "Note, however, that the instant you edit a TIFF-format photo (Chapter 7), iPhoto converts it into JPEG.
    That's fine if you plan to order prints or a photo book (Chapter 11) from iPhoto, since JPEG files are required for those purposes. But if you took that once-in-a-lifetime, priceless shot as a TIFF file, don't do any editing in iPhoto-don't even rotate it- if you hope to maintain its perfect, pristine quality."
    After my test results, I thought maybe this was something that had changed from iPhoto 08 to iPhoto 09, so I went to the bookstore yesterday and checked the same book for iPhoto 09, and there it was, the same quote! (on a different page, of course).
    Anyway, thanks once again for your confirmation that my test was indeed correct. Linda
