Can't save my Text Edit files!

Hope I'm in the right forum. This started yesterday and I don't know why or how to fix it.
I can't save my Text Edit Files (rtf). I got 1 error message that can't save file until problem is fixed but I have no idea what the problem is.
Running Text Edit 1.7.1 (289.5). iMac OS 10.7.5
Can Someone help?
Thanks
Allen

Hi,
I've been having a similar problem with nonsensical error messages from text edit when I try to save. Repairing permissions doesn't seem to have helped, but I have found that checking the 'hide extension' box in the save window seems to get around it.
cheers all

Hi Ryan,
Copy each table in turn and paste into TextEdit. It will become tab-delimited. Save as plain text.

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.

Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro?
Yes, if you are asking about using Time Machine to backup the Mac.
Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?
You are not thinking of deleting the photos and files on your Mac, are you? If you do this, you will have no backups for those files.
Another concern is that Time Machine backs up the changes on your Mac. At some point, Time Machine will automatically delete the photos and files from the Time Capsule.....you just don't know when this might occur.
In other words, only delete files from your Mac that you can afford to lose.

Yes there is, if you hold down the attachment widget in the email once the video is downloaded, it will give you a series of options to save it to, including camera roll.
Hope this solves your question.

Try adding .epub to the end of the name.
I assume you are aware that to open an .epub file you need a special app, not TextEdit or Pages, right?

Email attachments: whenever someone sends me a file the Ipad labels it winmail.dat and wont allow me to open it...these are Word, Exce or jpgs. Does anyone know why this is and how to fix it? Also, how can you save attachments to a file on the IPad2

Is this a particular sender, or all of your attchments? Google winmail.dat and you will see a number of returns that can explain this, but in short, this is the way some e mail providers deal with attachments. If all of your e mail is coming that way, you need to change a setting on your isp set up. Perhaps stary here...

HT4623 How can I save the update download file as I have several devises to upgrade and cant afford the bandwidth to do each via iTunes

How can I save the update download file as I have several devises to upgrade and cant afford the bandwidth to do each via iTunes.
There does not appeare to be any doenloadable files in the download section.

"Well that's totally unacceptable."
Actually you can only accept it, as it is the way it is. You may not like it, but it is so. Sorry.
" your seriously telling me that Apple expect me to download the same huge file 8 TIMES"
That is exactly what I am telling you.
" No way."
Still true.
"Apple are going to have to come up with another solution."
No. They do not have to do any such thing. They may choose to do so in the future, but there is no reason to believe that they will.

Can I fill in PDF forms and export / save as un-editable file?

Hi all,
I have a client for whom I am creating an invoice template. I created the file in InDesign and have exported as a PDF.
Working with Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.1.4 on Mac 10.6.8, I have managed to add text fields for my client to fill in with job-specific information. (Job number, item / descriptions / costs and so on).
Is there a way that he/she can fill in job specifics, and then save or export the file so that when opened by their client, it appears as UN-editable?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Yes, you can flatten the form, which converts the field appearances (and any other annotations) to regular page contents. Here's a link to a free JavaScript-based tool that you can use: UVSAR : Selective Flattener tool for Adobe Acrobat 8, 9 and X
The basic JavaScript statement is:
flattenPages();
More information is in the Acrobat JavaScript reference, which is included in the Acrobat SDK and online.
For invoices, I created an automation tool that adds certain metadata to the invoice (e.g., invoice #, date, total amount), flattens certain fields, and adds a certification digital signature. the original field values are copied to fields on a hidden template so that it is readily available if it's ever needed.

I can't get my Text edit as a default changed

I am trying to save an attachment to my desktop and unfortunately it always opens it in a textedit format. It seems that text edit is the default setting to open documents. Can anybody help I tried using the advice from previous posts but with no luck.

It is a .pem file that I need to save on my desktop then copy and paste it into another website. I have been able to do it now on my Gateway through the Save As option but when I download the file on my Mac it gives me the option to save to Desktop or to Dropbox. When I click Desktop it saves in Downloads but also opens as a TextEdit file.
Yes I have tried the Get Info, Open With option that I read about in earlier posts relating to this subject. Thank you for your assistance.
