Can't Save Director file to Network Share (SMB)

Help!
I am running OS X 10.4.10 and I simply cannot "Save" a file
onto our network drive (SMB/CFIS). Written a nice big app that
relies totally on this simple premise.
Help me please!!!

HI Owen,
Perhaps your Quicken preference files are corrupted, it's not bad, and an easy fix. Locate this file or one that is similar: com.quicken.plist It should be here; MacintoshHD/Users/Library/Preferences. Open the Preferences folder, locate that file, drag it to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. It's ok to trash a pref file, your Mac will create a new one for you.
Also, here's the link to the Quicken forums; http://www.quickencommunity.com/

  • Can't Save Photoshop file on Network Server

    To start of with some specs, im running Mac OS 10.5.3 and CS1 on a Dual 1.8GHz PowerPC G5, however the issue also exists on a MacMini running the same OS and CS1. I connect to a server at work via afp and that is where we store all of our files. We are usually asked to work on the server and i do just that, however when trying to SAVE a file in photoshop i get an error message...
    Could not save "filename" because write access was not granted.
    When i try to save again after this error message, it brings me directly to Save As, if i save it as the same file name and replace 95% of the time it works just fine, the other 5% i get the error again and have to repeat the process until it works. Another solution is just saving it to my own desktop and dragging it over to the desired location, no problem there.
    I have checked permissions on the server multiple times and obviously it isn't an issue because i am able to simply drag files over and Save As without issue. Also this problem is exclusive to Photoshop CS, i have not had the same issues with GoLive and saving to the server.
    I was simply wondering if anyone else had encountered this and had a solution? Thanks in advance.

    you are not alone...

  • I have an iMac(mid2010) running Pages v5.5.1 on OS X 10.10. Why can I not save or share documents. The error message is You can't save the file "TEST.pages" because the volume is read only.

    I have an iMac(mid2010) running Pages v5.5.1 on OS X 10.10. Why can I not save or share documents. The error message is You can’t save the file “TEST.pages” because the volume is read only.

    Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Cannot open Office 2013 Excel, Word, PPT Files on Network Share

    Cannot open Office 2013 Excel, Word, PPT Files on Network Share
    I am having a problem opening any Office 2013 file when it is located on a network drive. I immediately get the error:  
    "Microsoft Excel cannot open or save any more documents because there is not enough available memory or disk space.
    . To make more memory available, close workbooks or programs you no longer need.
    . To free disk space, delete files you no longer need from the disk you are saving to."
    It only occurs when I try to access the file when it is stored on a network share. I cannot open any word, excel or PPT files located on my file shares.
    I am on Windows 8 (pro), part of a local domain based on Server 2003, and have administrator rights to the domain and the file share where the Excel file resides (and Word files -same problem). If I copy the file locally, I can either open
    it directly, or right-click, go to Properties and 'un-block' the file and then open it. But it is impractical to keep doing this, as I edit different files from the directory tree all day.
    I have bing'd and google'd this extensively, and the only answers I come up with do not work, such as going into the DCOM config system and changing the user from interactive to launching user, or vice versa, or even using a specific user - mine
    with the password. Since the product is so young there aren't a lot of posts on this, and nothing has improved the situation.
    Can you add any insight to this? I really want to use Office 2013, but this is such an obstacle I'm going to have to downgrade if this problem cannot be resolved. Thank you very much for any help you can offer.
    Evan

    Dear Evan,
    If DCOM config solution did not work, I'd suggest narrow down the problem by trying to access another network share on another server, try to open an Office file there, do we still have the error? It could help us determine if the issue is on the client
    machine or the server side.

  • How can I make OSX index a network share for spotlight?

    How can I make OSX index a network share for spotlight?
    I am using a QNAP NAS with SMB network shares, which I mount with OS X Mavericks. They are not searchable, as far as I know because of the indexing of network share is by default not activated.
    To force the OS to index them I activated this via mdutils. But this is no solutions. This makes spotlight to index the share once. But I want spotlight to index it always and keep it up to date. I have a huge amount of documents & fotographs, which is very difficult to manage without being searchable.
    Unfortunately the only solution I found in the www was the mdutils-way, which seems not to work, maybe only works not for me.
    I would appreciate any assistance,
    Thank you,
    Stefan

    My thanks to everyone who has contributed to solving this problem here.
    It appears that there still is NOT a good, reliable solution.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.
    I did find this on http://jonathansblog.co.uk/how-to-enable-spotlight-indexing-on-a-network-drive:
    ===================================
    To enable spotlight indexing on a network drive:
    # mdutil /Volumes/name -i on
    To disable the indexing of a connected network drive:
    # mdutil /Volumes/name -i off
    To check the status of indexing on a connected network drive:
    # mdutil /Volumes/name -s
    ===================================
    And, I found this on the Synology NAS forums:
    cd /Volumes
    mdutil shareName -i on
    mdimport -Vp ./shareName
    where shareName = name of your share
    I have used the mdutil /Volumes/name -i on, and it seems to work.
    But, if I understand it correctly, it is a one-time indexing -- the index is NOT keep up-to-date with changes.
    So, how can we keep the index up-to-date?
    My thought was to schedule a Terminal file to execute each night with the mdutil code.
    Would this work?  If so, how would you setup a scheduled run?
    Would it have to be done on each Mac that accesses the Share?

  • Can't save excel files

    Getting an error when trying to save files in excel: "Someone lese is working in 'Network path' right now please try again later.
    All PC's are Windows 7 and Office 2013. I can confirm that the file is not open by anyone else.
    This is becoming very frustrating and I can see other threads on this issue with no resolution.

    If you just can't save Excel file located in shared drive normally, it should not a Office product issue, maybe there are some other applications in the server causes these issue. Check permission and try to disable the preview and detailed
    view to test this issue.

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

    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.

    I use my iPad in my business, I get emails sending me files that I then need to upload up to my Salesforce.com web based application. I can't see where I can either save the file to or pick the file up from ?  Is there a way to do this or is at an iPad limitation ?

  • I've doubled my RAM but still can't save big files in photoshop...

    I have just upgraded my Ram from the shipped 4GB to 8GB but I still can't save big images in photoshop. It seems to have made no difference to the speed of general tasks and saving and I can't save big files in photoshop at all. I already moved massive amounts of files off my computer and onto my external hard drive, so there is much less in my computer now, and twice the RAM but it is making no noticeable difference. When I click memory, under 'about my mac' it shows that the RAM is installed and now has twice the memory. Could this be something to do with photoshop? I'm running CS6.

    Also, I just calculated 220 cm into inches and this is roughly 86.5 inches. Over 7 feet in length.
    WIth an image that large, you may want to consider down sampling to a lower DPI to help with being able to work on and process images of this size much easier and it will be easier for your Print house to process, as well.
    You might want to consider working with these rather large images at 225 DPI instead of 300 if resolution at close distances is still a concern.
    Or what you good try is working with the images at 300 DPI, but then save them/export them as a Jpeg image at the highest image quality setting.
    I do a lot of project where I use a high resolution jpeg image to save on image proceesing overhead.
    The final printed images still come out pretty clear, clean and crisp without having to process those large files at a print house or having to deal with using that full resolution image in a page layout or illustration program.

  • Can I save my files to a flash drive?

    How can I save my files to a thumb drive?

    Hi !@#$%^&*()_+ (I hear ya!),
    Are you referring to files stored in your Acrobat.com online account? If so, you can log in to your account at https://cloud.acrobat.com/files and select the files that you want to download/save to a flash drive. By default, they should download to your Downloads folder. From there, you can move them on to a flash drive.

  • Infopath submit - how to hide - Save as dialog box - You can only save this file to the current site

    HI,
    I have a infopath form. In the submit options, i have used the below:
    submit options -
    sharepoint document library
    Data connection - Sharepoint Library Submit
    Doc library - lib location
    File name: concat("User Info - ", ResourceName, "-", PersonalID)
    Allow overwrite if file exists is checked.
    When I try to save a record, I am getting a popup:
    Save As:
    You can only save this file to the current site
    File Name: textbox
    save location: doc lib.
    save, cancel buttons.
    How to override this save as option(save as option should not be shown to user), and save the file using the file name mentioned?
    Thanks

    Are you clicking "Save" when you're using the form or "Submit"??
    You should be using "Submit" and it will ... submit your form to the document library with the file name you specified.
    To disable the "Save" button, click on "File" then "Form Options". Under the "Filler Features" area you can uncheck the box beside "Save and Save As". Click OK then re-publish your form.

  • "Can't Save the File. Can't Print the File" error in Illustrato CS3

    I get the error "CAN'T SAVE THE FILE. CAN'T PRINT THE FILE". In Illustrator CS3
    According to adobe this is an issue of having more that 28 spot colors, so I went to the swatch palette and pulled the fly-out menu out and told it to remove any unused swatches which took me down to 6 spot colors, but I still get the error when trying to save it to EPS format, which is the format I have to have for the ripping program for the vinyl printer in my sign shop. Saving it in AI format causes no issues.
    Is there still something I am missing?
    Thanks
    Roger

    I appreciate your comment, I see what your saying.
    However...my issue is...I am making a vehicle wrap on a full size van for a radio station and it consist of pictures of a clouds for the background with two pictures of music artist that are associated with the kind of music this station plays, then there is a big round logo of the radio station that involves three spot colors (Purple, white and one of which is technically the black "K" ribbon) along with the web address of the station but it is of the same colors of the radio station logo...then there is the corporate logo that utilizes another spot color (blue)so as you can see I need the spot colors that I'm using.
    So just to make sure I'm clear...I can only have 28 different individual colors, even though I have photos involved in the rendering? How can I make that work because photos obviously have more than 28 colors in them. It doesn't make sense because you can do a live trace on something in literally hundreds of colors.
    Would it help if I flattened the photo work from photoshop before I move it to Illustrator? The reason I ask is because when I go to save and choose EPS the next save dialogue that comes up...down at the bottom there is two exclamations that one says something about embedding fonts, which I'm not concerned about and the other is something about there is some artwork that needs flattening.
    Please bear with me here cause I am definitely a newbie!! My boss threw to the wolves on this adventure and I am learning by reading and trial and error.
    Thanks

  • HT5925 Can I save pdf files on iCloud?

    Can I save pdf files on iCloud?

    I installed a PDF reader.
    It allows attaching pdf files to my iPod and synching with iTunes.
    But I don't use iCloud, still. I do all backups local to iTunes library.
    However, it should work no matter where or what IF you have files attached to an app that allows files.
    When I make changes to files attached to apps, they change and show under iTunes - tried renaming a file on the computer and changed on iPod.
