Can't save images into folders, Get info not detailing either.

Hi,
I'm new to Macs having just moved over 3 months ago from PC's and I'm having trouble with saving images and getting system information.  When I click on Go > Utilities > then click the down arrow next to the small cog icon I can easily see my system information starting with Spotlight Comments, General, More Info, Name and Extension, Preview, Sharing and Permissions (which I've set to Read & Write for MartinForbes (Me), staff and everyone).
However when I try Go > Utilities > Martin's iMac > and click  on the same down arrow all I get is General, and Preview - and that is  it it even though it worked before.
Another thing is happening as well.  When I'm trying to save an image from the internet into a specific folder the 'Save' button get greyed out, but it will only work in the most recent folders where I don't want this file to go. To put it into the folder I want , I have to save it into a folder that I DON'T want, then copy and the locate the intended folder and paste it the folder that I had intended.  This also is happening when I save a zip file in the 'Downloads' section and try to create a folder in say, my 'Widgets' folder where I can now no longer click on 'New Folder' as this too has been greyed out. I can see that the format after I've right clicked and selected 'Save Image As' is selected as 'Preview Document* and not 'All Files.
Can someone shed some light on what I need to do to get this working please? 

When you save an image, how can the browser possibly intuit where you want to save it?
You need to tell it where to save it. To do this just treat it as any Finder window and navigate to the desired folder. But you need to expand the dialogue to allow you click to the place you want to go as per a Finder window.
Then you can navigate to where you want it to be saved, and that position will become the default for next time until it is changed.
As for changing permission and the like, normally that is not required unless you have a permission problem you are trying to fix. Usually your Mac has that already worked out for you.

  • Can't save bookmarks into folders. Went through help database. Nothing helped. Firefox v.3.6.21

    Suddenly I can't anymore save bookmarks into bookmark folders I have made. The saving Window does not open. Saving at the end of the bookmark list (main folder) is ok. I looked through all help database and did all the deeds advised to do. Did not help in this case. The Firefox is v. 3.6.21 (Finnish translation).
    Tried to repair the Firefox install (installed it again) but didn't help either.
    I also thought to remove the browser totally and reinstall then again. For that I tried to import my bookmarks into Internet Explorer (Import...) but IE crashed (CTD). I have done this import before succesfully. Perhaps there is something really wrong with my Firefox?
    I'd really not like to save my "millions" of bookmarks and their folders one by one again if there is no other solution than reinstall the Firefox.
    I installed XMarks for that purpose but don't know if I can trust it.

    Is it possible there is a search set in the Browser for the project with missing images? When I set 1 project to view only 5 starts, all my images will not appear as expected in the Browser since I have not ratings, but selecting the Folder level will display all of them. Check that.

  • Cannot cut and paste covers into the Get Info

    After upgrading to iTunes 10.4 I can no longer cut and paste album cover artwork into the Get Info wondoe for either songs or albums. It worked perfectly before this.

    Hi Patys,
    I have already posted the solution twice and you can read it by scrolling up in this topic!

  • Itunes 12 will not allow you to paste album covers into the get info section of albums or indivial songs it makes you go to another area on your computer

    I tried to do a cut and paste like I used to do for album covers that iTunes doesn't carry( go figure) and the 12 version wont let you instead it has a window pop up for pictures that your suppose to direct it to get the artwork from. That's a lot of work! All I can say is simplify and do more research before the next release. also iTunes has always had problems freezing up. This verion and past verisons. I'd go to a different player put I've already invested thousands of dollars in my iTunes media and the earlier stuff doesn't play on different players. So here I am stuck.

    The iTunes 12 Get Info dialog lacks right-click context menus (at least for now) but it still accepts most standard keyboard shortcuts and drag & drop actions.
    Delete Artwork
    On the artwork tab of Get Into, tap the image in question, use Backspace or Ctrl+X. Delete doesn't work.
    Or, tap the image at the top left of Get Info, this time use Backspace or Delete, it is Ctrl+X that doesn't work.
    Add Artwork
    Select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the center of the Artwork tab, press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Or, select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the small image area at the top left, press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Or, you can drag & drop to, or sometimes from, the same locations.
    You can also copy artwork from the Get Info dialog to Windows Explorer with the keyboard shortcuts.
    If the source image is on a web page right-click and use Copy Image rather than copy. (With Chrome I get a one pixel wraparound so tend to go for a temporary local copy anyway - not sure whose bug this is, but it isn't new.)
    If you have multiple images embedded drag the one you want to be the primary artwork to the leftmost position.
    Replace/Remove All Artwork
    The top left image box can be used to add or delete art from multiple tracks. In either case all existing artwork in all tracks is replaced/removed.
    Old Style Get Info Dialog
    Select some items, right-click, hold down shift, then click Get Info from the context menu. (Use alt/option on a Mac)

  • Can't save image, error message ???

    Hi, I'm trying to save a pdf image in photoshop, as I always do, hitting command S, or going to file-save. I keep getting an error message saying "could not save "x" file because the file is already in use or was left open". Well duh, of course it's in use, I'm working on it.
    Anybody know what's going on here? Am I missing something?
    Thanks!!
    Eric

    Thank you! I'll give it a try!

  • Cannot save files into folders or attach files in folders since installing Maverics

    Since installing Mavericks, I have been having trouble saving files (notably, Mail attachments) into the folder I want and also opening files in folders.
    What I see, when I try to save a file into a folder that is one of several inside another folder, is a list of the folder names, in an unfamiliar format, with the contents of each folder also shown. (Makes for VERY slow scrolling.)
    I cannot select a folder into which to save as the file. (I can, usually, save it into the outer folder and then move it afterwards or save it onto the desktop or into the downloads folder and then move it.)
    Also, when I attempt to attach a file to a Mail message, I again run into difficulties. Sometimes I cannot select a file in a folder. (It will let me select the whole folder.) Sometimes it is ok if I move the file to the desktop first. Just now, with the screenshot above, I saved it onto the desktop but could not select it to upload it until I moved it into a folder.
    What's up?
    (BTW, so far, this is happening only on my min, not on my MacBook.)

    This issue can be caused by a corrupt local snapshot index. The procedure below will temporarily disable local snapshots and force the index to be rebuilt.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    sudo tmutil disablelocal
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
    To re-enable:
    sudo tmutil enablelocal

  • Can't drag images into new album page

    Just started using iWeb because it seems easy to produce good looking basic pages. I may be missing something obvious, but having trawled all through this forum and iWeb help, I can't work out why the album page won't accept images dragged from the iPhoto tab of the media browser.
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the prompt reply Mr Old Toad. In fact, despite the title of "Album Page" seeming to be self explanatory (usually the case with Mac software & why I love it so much) and the software instructions which say "Drag photo and movie pages here to make them accessible from one place", this time I have discovered by messing around that you have to add a "photos" page while the Album page is selected on the left. You then drag the required images into the photo page (not the album page). Each additional photo page added appears on the Album page as it is added.
    One of the first methods I tried was to create an album in iPhoto and attempt to drag that into the album page. Didn't work, hence my request on this forum. So, looks like I answered my question myself. I still appreciate your diligent attention to this forum Mr Old Toad. I'm sure there will be a future problem that may not be so easily solved and that your or another's suggestion will come to the rescue.
    Thanks

  • Just updated to itunes 12.1.0.71 - big problem - can no longer access the legacy "Get Info" where you could change multiple files, easily add artwork, add album name for TV show, and much more. In previous iTunes 12 you'd right click

    Just updated to itunes 12.1.0.71 - big problem - can no longer access the legacy "Get Info" where you could change multiple files, easily add artwork, add album name for TV show, and much more. In previous iTunes 12 you'd right click and hold shift key and be able to get to it. Anyone figured this out?

    The "legacy" metadata editors, for which there was a "back door" in iTunes 12.0, have gone from 12.1.  However, the revised editors in 12.1 provide access to (almost) all the metadata elements that were available in iTunes 11, albeit in a different layout and with some additional constraints based on media kind.  Some users have / will have an issue with the statement that "Get Info has been completely redesigned in iTunes 12 to focus your attention only on what’s necessary for the selected item" since that removes some metadata elements that people may have been using in creative ways.  iTunes 12.1 basically gives you access to the fields that Apple think are necessary ... .  Some of the things that have been excluded by this rule:
    track and disc number fields for video media kinds
    show and episode fields for music
    description tab for audiobooks made up of more than one file
    Obviously the first two examples can be regarded as "overloading" the metadata elements - i.e., using them in ways that the designers didn't intend - but given that some users do find valid cases for this it's a shame that they've been deprecated in the new UI.  There are couple of workarounds:
    in songs view (or any of the other columnar views), you can still select any fields to display, independent of media kind, and these can be edited (though only one at a time) by double-clicking in the relevant "cell"
    you can (temporarily) change the media kind of an item (or group of items) to get access to metadata elements that would otherwise be inaccessible.
    It may be worth submitting an issue via https://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html - I can't see it as a huge development task to have a user preference to switch between "show all fields" and "filter fields based on media kind".
    One other oddity/irritation is that some of the tabs don't, by default, show all the available fields - you need to scroll up/down to access them or to expand the window by dragging on one of its corners.  Fortunately, the latter seems to be persistent - once you've done this to make all the fields visible the editor will open at the same (larger) size when opened again.

  • How can I take a photo on my iPhone then save it into a second Album, not Camera Roll?

    How can I take a photo on my iPhone then save it into a second Album, not Camera Roll?

    All photos captured or saved with the iPhone are stored in the Camera Roll which cannot be changed.
    You can create an album to place photos in that are in the Camera Roll which does not duplicate the photo. It creates a pointer to the original photo stored in the Camera Roll. If the original is deleted from the Camera Roll, it will be removed from the album as well.
    Import the photos from the Camera Roll with your computer as with any other digital camera followed by deleting the photos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete. Create an album or albums for the imported photos on your computer followed by transferring the albums from your computer via the iTunes sync process which is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
