Can't save any files ever since the update to Maverick.

Hello everybody,
Everytime I try to save a file the "save as" box pops up but as soon as I select a folder to save the file to....it flashes and closes.
It's definitely an issue of the OS because it happens in any application when attempting to save.
The only way I've worked around it is by saving is to the default location and then moving the file to it's intended location.  It's a major hassle and it makes me think there's more wrong with the update.   As much as I love the enhancements, I regret upgprading. 
I would welcome any suggestions on what to do.  Or am I just stuck in waiting for an FIX from Apple?  I hope not.
Thanks everybody in advance for what you can do.
Cheers,
Jamie "Mr. Applejack" Richards

  • Can't save any file with any name-InDesign CC

    can't save any file with any name-file DBTmp4376-863643269 is damaged (error code:0)
    InDesign CC, OS version 10.9.1
    I explored solutions to failure in background task alert which did not work. Been using adobe products since they came on the scene. Nothing like this. Please help.

    I'm using version 9.2.
    Yes, it started with a new file. Support gave me the solution to save it to my desktop which worked. When I put it back in the original folder and opened/save it would not save to that folder. Created a new folder and was able to open & save to the new folder. That seems to be a workable solution. How a folder can become corrupt is a bit scarey.
    In experimenting with solutions I received another error "failure in background task alert" and discovered CS5 problems with background task.
    However the solutions for CS5 did not work in my incidence.
    I sure would like to prevent this from happening again. If you have any insights please share them. Otherwise I will just accept the experience as another computer workaround and be thankful that I have it.
    Thanks for responding.

  • Installed Yosemite: now can't save any files / ID, Ai, PS. Is this an Adobe issue or Apple issue?

    I am still on Mavericks and was going to update to Yosemite, but am scared that if I do that I will lose my programs. I am following your question and I really hope that this works out for the both of us. Good Luck!!!

  • I can't save any file on externals disk

    Big externals disk (above 100 GB) appears with orange color on the lateral bar. I can't save any file in this externals disk, I only can copy or read files from this disk. However that is possible in small external disk (16, 8GB or below) that appears with white color on lateral bar.
    How can I solve this problem?
    Thanks

    Check the Format of the external drive as it might be formatted for PC read/write but Mac Read only ?
    Select in then hit command-I and look under 'Format' - NTFS is PC 'standard' - if you want a drive to be read and written to by both PC's and Mac's then you need to format it as FAT32

  • Hi, my iPad and the camera connection kit is completely useless to me, ever since the update where Apple restricted the device from connecting to certain external devices. I've tried everything, but is there eny way I can get rid of this?

    Hi,
    My iPad and the camera connection kit is completely useless to me, ever since the update where Apple restricted the device from connecting to certain external devices. I've tried everything, but is there any way I can get rid of this annoying problem? The bottom line is that I'll stay away from apple, because they basically make it so the devices control you, and you don't control the devices. I've even jail broken to try and fix this. I need my USB drives to work as they have many folders. Formatting doesn't work, so it is definetly down to the software and it's restrictions.
    Please help.

    The camera connection kit is to be used to connect a camera or an SD card and transfer photos/video. You can't fault them for something that happened to work and doesn't any longer. There are drives like the seagate available if you need access to extra storage

    Has anyone else been having trouble with safari ever since the update? I have restarted several times, it still doesn't work.

    Greetings Blueleoapple,
    After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error with Safari. You may want to consider resetting your device, which is different from restarting. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    How to restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
    Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Can not copy any file or empty the trash

    Hello,
    I'm using a Macbook (white) with OSX 10.6.4 and am having an extremely annoying problem which has three symptoms:
    1. I *can not empty the trash* (safely or not) at all.
    2. I *can not copy any file*, anywhere.
    3. I *can not move anything to the "Applications"* folder.
    I try restarting the computer, repairing the permissions, running the latest version of Onyx and so on, but nothing works. I always get the following error message (when copying a file or emptying the trash)
    "The operation can't be completed because you don't have the permission to access some of the items".
    And this even though I repaired the permissions three times today.
    To be honest, this makes my Mac pretty useless, and is very frustrating.
    Can anybody help? I've browsed a lot of other threads about this, tried everything, but to no avail.
    Come on, this is my first Mac, don't tell me I have to reinstall the OS from zero, Windows-style.

    Those are the normal permissions but if you are logged in as admin, hit the unlock button and enter your password they should no longer be greyed out.
    You can try chmoding them from root through the terminal if you are up for it. I'd also try booting up in SafeMode and seeing if that allows access.

  • Why has only my iPhone4 calling speaker stopped stopped working ever since the update?

    Ever since the last iPhone update my speaker in the phone hasnt worked when I try to ring people I have to put it on loud speaker. Did this happen to anyone else and how can I resolve it?

    Your issue has been addressed already ad nauseum.  Always a sign of good forum etiquette to search before posting.

  • Ever since the "update" itunes store doesn't load.

    I haven't been able to access the itunes store on my iphone 4s since the update.  It is just a blank screen with the icons listed along the bottom.  I have synced the phone with my itunes acct. on my computer.  I have signed out and signed back in.  I have run a diagnostic on my phone through the apple.com (everything checked out).  I have tried to get support from apple.com but keep going around in circles.  Before I call or visit a store I thought I'd check to see if anyone else has had this problem and if he/she was able to correct it.  Any advice or suggetions would be greatly apprectiated.

    Hello, KAS225.
    There are a couple of things you can try.  The first would be to reset all settings.  Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings. 
    If the issue persists, try signing out of all services that require signing into your Apple ID and then signing back in.

    Hi Duffynicol,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPad and your printer. From your description of the issue, it sounds like your printer may have become disconnected from your WiFi network (BT?). If that is the case, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following article helpful:

  • Ever since I updated to Maverick my MacBook is slow to load apps

    Since I updated to Maverick my MacBook is slow to boot up after being shut down and is slow to load apps (excessive bounce, etc.). Is there a solution?

    Your model is right at the cutoff of models that can handle Mavericks, so you need to keep that in mind: an older machine and less powerful processor. Aside from that, you should really have a minimum of 4 GB of RAM for Mavericks to run reasonably well - how much RAM do you have? The 2 GB minimum published does not work that well unless you only use one app at a time.
    So, if you've maxed out the RAM, make sure you don't run too many apps at the same time, especially if dealing with photo editing or movie apps and quit one before starting another. Also make sure you have plenty of empty hard drive space at all times.

  • I can't save any files.

    I can't save files in adobe Photoshop. I've had this program for AAGGGEEES, I think it's Photoshop 6 & I've never had this problem before. I've tried different variations of save & the screen just blinks & nothing happens? Can anyone help please?
    Cheers,
    Laura.

    OS?
    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

  • Second hard drive added but can't save any files to it

    My 250 GB hard drive failed and was replaced under warrantee (thank God I had backed it up a week earlier)
    I had the operating system and application loaded on the 250GB drive and everything works fine. I had the dealer add a 500 GB Seagate Ultra 16 for storing all my data. I have a 500 GB external hard drive for back up. I am not able to save any data or create folders in the 500GB internal hard drive. My system profiler shows that its loaded. What do i need to do so taht i can use it for storing my data.

    The drive must first be partitioned then formatted:
    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disk. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.)
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
