Can't save opened network file
Here is what happened to our lower school lab which got 17 Mac Minis.
When students opened files from a file server, worked on those files and tried to save, they got error message saying the file could not be saved because the file could not be found. So what they had to do was to Save As a local file and then copy it to the file server to replace the one sitting over there.
This has happened to the programs Pages and HyperStudio so far. Not sure if this is a networking or operating system problem.
We are running 10.6.7. And the file server is Windows 2008 R2.
Thanks much in advance!
Try the stand alone Security Update 2008-007.

Whenever I try to save a file as a PDF, it tells me that it can't save, because the file is open somewhere else. I don't have anything else open. I have also tried different files and they all say the same thing. Help.
Given there are so many problems and removed features in Pages 5, why not just continue using Pages '09?

Can't save/write Framemaker files
Hi,
I've suddenly got a major problem - I can't Save or Save As any Framemaker files.
Specifically, I am using Framemaker 9 (latest patches) under Win XP/SP3, using parallels Desktop for Mac on my MacBook Pro 17" (8GB, 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS 10.6.2).
I can save to my Windows virtual drive, but if I try to save to my Mac world, I get an error that says "The \\.psf\Home\<path>\<filename>.fm.DE1 that FrameMaker wrote may be damaged". There is a .lck file, but can't save the .fm file, even with another name.
I have tried saving in different formats (to check it's not a network/permissions issue). I can save in .html, .txt, .xml, .pdf, .rtf. I cannot save in any of the Frame-related formats (MIF, .fm, previous versions).
I suspect the problem arose after updating Parallels Desktop to the latest version. Dumb move. It barfed at the end of the upgrade, but I thought things were OK after restarting.
I also had a disk problem on my Mac (various catalog file errors) after ejecting a recaltitrant USB pen drive. Major headache. Again, thought it was all fixed after fsck and Disk Utility checks. maybe not. Still a weird issue though. I do seem to remember having something like this before. Anyone got any ideas?

Hi, Martin:
I'm using InDesign on my MacBookPro pre-unibody under Leopard, and also under Windows 7 Vista running on VMware Fusion2.
I never save my files on the Windows virtual drive for a couple of reasons:
* too likely to crash unexpectedly - hey, it's Windows.
* because the virtual drive file is always marked changed no matter how little activity you do on it, even just opening it, Time Machine backs up the entire humongous drive file and fills up my Time Capsule needlessly.
EDIT:
* I exclude the virtual drive file from the Time Machine backup, but I do save a copy of it in case I need to replace one that goes bad. Doesn't always work, though. I also save a bunch of automatic snapshots of the virtual drive, and manual ones when I change something. I haven't got the habit yet of also making Windows Restore Points. I figure if a Fusion2 snapshot can't get me back working, it's time to start over, or copy my safety copy.
/EDIT
I always save files made on the Mac or Windows sides on my Mac file system.
One likely source of being unable to save is unwanted and unexpected permission changes. Have you tried fixing permissions with Disk Utility, or the free utility OnyX, or the free utility applejack? You run OnyX from within OS X. You run applejack from the command line that appears when you restart the Mac and hold CMD-s to go into single user mode. The command: applejack auto restart performs a bunch of cleanup operations automatically, and displays its actions as it does them. When it's done, it restarts your Mac.
Applejack is more limited in what it does, so it easier to avoid doing anything you didn't intend. OnyX offers options that can clean out stuff you might not want to, so read carefully what options you select.

How can I save a PDF file sent to me in an attachment to my iPhone 5s
How can I save a PDF file or word file sent to me as an attachment directly to my iPhone 5s so if I want to read it I don't have to dig into my ail every time?
You will need to select the attachment and open in another app. If you do not have any apps that support PDF, Adobe reader for iOS is free.
For MS word files, you will need an app that supports those, like Documents to Go.
There is not generic file storage area in iOS, so you need to "open in" an app that supports that file type so that app can then add the file to its sandboxed local storage area.
If you need to markup the PDF, some good apps are GoodReader, iAnnotate, PDF Expert, GoodNotes - there are numerous others as well in the App Store. -
Can you save an mp3 file that you receive as an attachment to an email?
Can you save an mp3 file you receive as an attachment to an email?
Irwinwilliam-
With other attachments, you can press and hold on the attachment icon. One of the options that may appear is "Open In". Choosing that, any App that is capable of reading the attachment should show up as a choice. When opening the document that way, a copy is transferred to the App. I have not tried with an MP3 file.
For MP3, I think the Music App should be a choice. If so, the file should then appear with your other music.
If an inappropriate App appears in "Open In", you may be able to use it as a conduit to transfer the attachment to your computer. Run iTunes on your computer with the iPad connected. Select the iPad under DEVICES, and click on Apps at the top of the window. Scroll down to File Sharing and select that App. If successful, your document will appear to the right in the Documents window, where you can select it and Save As.

Why can't I open .csv files in Excel 2013?
We purchased (20) new machines all with Office 2013 (OEM) version. We can no longer open .csv files with Excel 2013. When we go to a machine with Office 2010 it opens perfectly. The issue is with some change to Excel. I see a lot
of complaints on the internet about this issue. Since we have OEM versions of Office, I am not entitled to a downgrade to 2010. I need to know what Microsoft is doing to fix this issue, or need them to grant us rights to downgrade.Hi,
In regarding the issue, I had tested in Excel 2013 of my PC. It seems worked fine. Thus, I suggest you try to do the following methods to test.
1. Import the CSV file into Excel 2013. Click Data tab>From Text
http://superuser.com/questions/407082/easiest-way-to-open-csv-with-commas-in-excel
2. Did you get en error message "SYLK: File format is not valid" when you open CSV file?
If it was, please try to follow the link to fix the issue:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323626
3. Please try copy one of the CSV file to notepad and save it as a new name to test.
4. You'd better upgrade the lastest patches.

Can I save a dng file from Photoshop6 to import back into Lightroom 4
Can I save a dng file from Photoshop6 to import back into Lightroom 4. I don't understand why this is not straight forward.
Hello!
The DNG format's goal is to be an universal file formats for camera raw files: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html?promoid=DTEHA
You can save a DNG from camera raw without a problem.
Just go the the bottom left hand corner of the interface, and select "save image".
(as explained here in the help files: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/creativesuite/cs/using/WS91C1E0BD-9600-42b2-8EBE-1E012ED61058. html#WSB0DC278F-B3DF-4a60-88BC-B3D6A852C242 )
Or are you trying to save an file edited in Photoshop as a DNG?
For what purpose, exactly? A TIFF, PSD or PSB file can have a raw file, saved as a Smart Object (to allow later reprocessing in Camera Raw) and all the pixel/vector editing layers intact.
If saved with maximize compatibility, it can be opened in Lightroom for cataloging, and editing, if needed. -
Office 2010 - Opening Network Files causes crashes
Our users documents are mapped to network storage via a Home folder location. Our treasurer has began encountering an issue with Office 2010 with Word (this is where I've been putting most of my effort) and Excel, other programs not tested.
Upon going to 'File->Open' it automatically redirects to his Home folder on the Network drive, and Office goes through it's various stages of crashing (encountered an issue, etc.) I've copied the contents of one specific folder he does most of his work in
to his desktop, but this is not optimal. Opening the contents from the desktop yields no issue.
As far as troubleshooting goes, I first tried doing a repair, then reinstall, and finally an advanced uninstall with Revo figuring it may be a corrupted registry key. None of this worked. I Googled some info on it and found add-ons commonly caused an issue.
I went as far as recommended by a MS support article, ultimately removing both the entire add-ins folder in Program files and in the registry. Still an issue. I progressed through various other support articles, removing various further keys (settings, toolbars,
etc.) Still occurring. I landed upon a technet article with nearly an exact issue, and it recommended updating as MS had fixed this various issue. (duh!) Update-wise, it was pretty far behind because all of our updates are signed through SCCM, regardless,
I have it fully updated up to Office Service pack 2. It's doing selective startups through msconfig as well, down to only Microsoft services. Finally, I've tried sfc /scannow, as well as safe mode, and neither had promising results (it was the first time I
was really hoping for sfc to find an error!
Just for further reference, I've tried all fixes in this article (before realizing it was only on network docs.) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/921541/en-us

Can't save my illustrator files. I keep getting "unknown error" message. Using version 6 on a macbook pro. OSX 10.9.5
42nato,
You may try the list (skip 5) in this case).
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

I can no longer open pdf files in safari 6.02.
SAFARI CAN'T OPEN PDF'S ?
I can no longer open pdf files in safari 6.02. It worked fine up until 2 weeks ago. The pdf's open in Foxfire and Chrome browsers.
I can also download the pdf and open in acrobat directly. Safari only shows the file as ASCII characters.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
GerryG860Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again. -

Why can I not open PDF-files in InDesign CS4?
Hi,
Well then, as I wrote in the headline... Why can I not open PDF-files?
I get a notification that says that either the file is already open (which it's not) or it is missing a plug-in thingy for this kind of file.
So, how do I know which plug-in thing I should chose from Adobe which will solve my problem?
Could it be enough just to update the program? I tried with 6.0.6. upgrade but it wouldn't even open up. I'm not so good at this type of computerproblems (choosing upgrades, plug-in etc.). The program is not upgraded for a long time, unless it do it automatically, but I think we've chosen it not to....
