Can't rename with save as

I made a gigantic leap of faith and just upgraded to OSX M and find that I cannot rename any file using Save As- to rename files. This is basic Mac 101 guys?
Any application comes up with a "Already exists".. alert because it is repeating the original File Name and not accepting typed changes. It is refusing to change names at all and forces a use of the find to locate and manaully perform it.
What gives?
#2 question is why the hologram scroll bars. They don't work at all on list or group of items, you have to now use arrow keys to get near one end or other of list, try and move cursor quickly while it appears (using trackpad in my case), or in doing so it disappears and you have to prescroll with arrow and 'force' scroll bar to appear. Adds way too many motions and distraction to what was effectively a seamless control before.
Very disappointed such basic mechanics have been tampered with and abused,
Now I cant even scroll this page in Safari to post because i cannot see where I am supposed to click. Too far right and I'm picking the Finder or anither app below me!

Graphics were dropped ?
when I clearly just renamed the item "_revised":
which is refused.
That happens in all applications currently.

Can I Rename and Save a Custom White Balalnce?

I use a device called a WhiBal...a sort of graycard...to gauge the temperature of light in a given scene when shooting RAW and then use the eyedropper in the Develop module to get the custom white balance right.
Can I then rename and save (or, assign a name to and save) these custom settings?
If I could I would have, for example, WBs named 'bkyrd a.m. sun' or 'brkfst rm nite' or such.

Lee Jay means in the left hand Develop Preset panel. Can't save Custom WB settings that will show in the WB list, just in case you were wondering that.

Create Folder / Files and then can't rename or save for 1-30 minutes

On all of our Windows 2008 R2 File Servers (Some more reproducible then others) on our user shares only when users create a file/folder they can not rename it right away they have to wait 1-30 minutes. Here is an example of the process... Thoughts...
This is happening on our Windows 7 & Windows 8 machine to our Windows 2008 R2 servers this does not appear to happen on Windows 2012 File Servers.

Hi,
The issue could be due to thumbcache.dll still has an open handle to the local thumbs.db file and does not currently implement a mechanism to release the handle to the file in a more dynamic and timely fashion.
To work around the issue, please enable User Group Policy setting for "Turn off the caching of thumbnails in hidden thumbs.db files" to check the results.
For more detailed information, please refer to the article below:

Image upload with save to database

Quick question guys,
Can Image upload with save to database be added to an existing form in order to save other info as well as the file name to the database.
Thanks
Col F

Hi,
Not looking at any code you have an upload button for the video and an insert for the form. So both forms are independent of each other it looks like, thats why when you do one you only get that info and when you do the other you only get the other info. You should just make one form with the uploader included. Make one form with all the fields included (movie name, movie page, movie description, movie file) after the form is completed then select the file field and go to...
Server Behaivoirs, Developer Toolbox, File upload, upload file. Follow the widgets.

Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content?

Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content? By anyone, I mean someone who can download and use the free Adobe Reader, on either a Mac or PC. I have Acrobat Pro, and would like to be able to create forms that can not only be filled out and printed, but saved and emailed, which is not an option with the forms I have created to date. They can be filled out, but not saved, with Adobe Reader.
TIA,
Nancy

To do what Dave indicated you need to do, it depends on what version of Acrobat you have:
Acrobat 8: Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader
Acrobat 9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
Acrobat 10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
Acrobat 11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)
I wonder what it will be next time?

My calendar will no longer let me add new event or delete them, it comes up with an error saying "cannot save event, no end date set" or "event does not belong to that event store". can anyone help with this?

Hi,
To configure your ODBC DataSource, go to Control Panel ---> DataSources(ODBC) (If you are in a Windows environment).
Select the tab System DSN. If you have not added your data source, then do so by clicking on the Add button. If you have added the datasource, click on the Configure button to configure it.
Give the datasource name, then the database name.
You have to give the hostname, service name and server name. I guess, in most cases, the datasource name and host name will be the same, service name and server name will be the same. If you are using TCP/IP, the protocol will be onsoctcp.
There will be a file named Services under C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc where you have to give the port number for accessing this server.
It will be like this <service name> <portnumber>/tcp
Hope this helps...
best wishes,
Nish

Can someone help me?

Did you specify <all-permissions/> in your JNLP file? Did you sign your code? What error are you getting?

My MacBook pro mid 2012 doesn't seem to have a "save as" function, so I can't seem to save multiple page pdf's together after moving thumbnails into the sidebar. It only saves the first page. I can't figure out the rename function either. Help?

I do have a 2008 version of Microsoft Office installed to save money, but that shouldn't affect things. I can't figure out the "rename" function either. Help?

Oh, and I also reset my NVRAM, my computer hasn't frozen again yet, so I'm not sure if it has made a difference.

Can I edit with Smart Print the same way I could with Smartweb Printing and then save as PDF files.

With Vista basic and SmartWeb Printing you had the option to edit your pages and then to save or print them in the PDF format. This way you could customise various pages pages, save them to a file and then reopen the whole file to see if you wanted to make any further changes before printing the final copy.

Maybe you don't need that. I prefer using Apple's Image Capture for scanning.
Right now I am working on scanning documents into PDFs. The Canon software lets me create multipage PDFs which is something I've been wanting to do. My question is, is it best to scan images as JPEGs and then save them as a multipage PDF or is it best to scan into PDF directly (which the scanner seems to offer as well) and then save as a multipage PDF? I'm thinking in terms of the best optimization of file size vs. image quality and things like that.
Let the software do it for you. That will be fewer steps for you. Image-based PDFs are going to be large. There is no way around that. If they are too large, you can use Preview's Save As feature and play around with the Quartz Filter.
Is the scanner actually doing anything differently when scanning into JPEG vs. PDF? Or is the scanning all the same and it's just the saving of the file that is different?
Scans are scans. The JPEG file format is lossly and will look worse than other types. If you are scanning in photographs, the JPEGs will look good. If you are scanning in crisp text, JPEGS will have lots of artifacts and look bad.
In general what dpi setting is usually sufficient to use to scan a basic text document without taking up too much file space?
I pretty much always keep it at 300 unless I need something special or when the original is really small and I intend to blow it up.

How to save a indesign file so can be edited with word

Just wanting to know if there is a way that I can save a indesign file or illustrator file that most aspects can be edited with word, mainly just the type edited with word? I have CS 5.5

Just to throw out the obvious (which isn't obvious to everyone, so I thought I'd mention it), but this isn't a "round-trip to Word to edit an InDesign file" thing. It's a "turn an InDesign file into a Word file" thing. Once it's a Word file, any edits you make won't reflect in the InDesign file. Although that would be handy, the way to edit text in a more word-processor-friendly environment without having to edit the actual InDesign file is to use InCopy.

How can I capture / download ( save to my PC) a JW PLayer Video that is being broadcast - I wish to capture a streaming video that is being played with JWplayer?

Hi there
Likely you will need to capture using a different tool than Captivate. Then you might save in a format Captivate understands (such as FLV or SWF) then insert that into Captivate.

No, sorry... did not happen becasue no such model exists.
If the device is in recovery mode, any data on it is already lost.
The only options are:
Restore the device to get it functional.
Enjoy the paper weight.
For what reason did you attempt to update the device without first ensuring that your data was safe, meaning backing up the device and copying important pictures/videos taken with the device to a computer?
